Introduction:

"Good day, this is my second time writing a review. I would like to mention that this text is being monitored and translated by ChatGPT. Therefore, I will censor the text. It should also be noted that I live in Germany and received the key from Patreon due to my subscription with NSFW18Games. Hence, I cannot publish this review as a rating on the shop page from steam (region block for all such games).

The review revolves around the AVN "Tomboy: Love in Hot Forge," a VN where one attempts to find a better life, or rather, get off the streets, as Alan (MC)."

Story:

"Let's get to the heart of the story. Well, I could spoil a lot, but I'll try not to. After all, it's a VN, and the essence is in the reading. But here's a rough outline: Alan ends up without money in a strange village in pouring rain. Eventually, he finds shelter under the roof of a forge and knocks there. Surprised that he was heard, he withdraws, but Brigid (the blacksmith) stops him from running away. This sets the whole story in motion, revolving around helping Brigid fulfill her tasks and, of course, finding love."

Characters:

"Now, we have the MC Alan, a penniless drifter who comes to a foreign village. Apart from the fact that he is penniless, unfortunately, we learn very little about him. Nevertheless, he's rather... a reserved guy who seeks his way through the world.

Then we have Brigid, a blacksmith who, at the beginning, forges a dagger for a nasty 'Nobleman.' We learn more about her in the story, such as how she became a blacksmith... But well... I don't want to spoil you.

And last but not least, we have the 'Nobleman,' and yes, he's nasty, and I hate him... Brigid... please, beat him to a pulp!"

Length:

"Now let's talk about the length of the story. I took about 1 1/2 hours on my rewatch (more on that in the conclusion). It's quite short, but for the price of €3.99 according to SteamDB, it's worth it. I urge EVERYONE not to refund the game if they've completed it before the time."

Graphics:

"The graphics are very well done. They fit the story and the setting. For the third part, I would like to see some more exquisite settings, but yes, they fit very well. However, I have a small criticism. Since this is a rewatch and I've already rewatched the second part, the beach seemed very familiar to me. Nevertheless, everything fit together."

Adult Only:

"Okay, let's get to the interesting part, and the reason why you all want to read this. And therefore, yes, it's good. You get the scenes you want to see. (I believe that you want to see these scenes.) Well, for me, the best scene is in the tavern, even if it's just a spoiler, and the most interesting part is where at the beach... well, spoilers and so on. The point is, you see the nude scenes with this beautiful girl, even though I found Kana from the second part prettier."

Conclusion:

"NSFW18 Games has released a nice game, developed by Zylyx. Although I would like to mention the sound designer, I'm a bit lazy. Ultimately, the game offers a very nice and short story. In my previous review, I wrote that I found the first part better, content-wise. But I want to specify this now. I generally find the development of the MC better here because nothing is assumed. Yes, the MC may appear bland, and you hardly learn anything about his backstory in the story. Nevertheless, you see more development of the MC here compared to his successor in *** in Forest.

But now, thank you for reading and fluffy greetings, -Erason"
