Straight Through the Maze

 Downloaded this game in the same time as the ''apostle'' but only played now, it have it own very unique style but not in the best way to do it, and is extremaly short like 2 hours already completed everything.

Teaser: STM(Abbreviation) is a puzzle game made in rpgmaker (what is a very unique thing), in this game we control ''Mais'' a guy that runs a shop inside some city, until all of nothing the queen of the elves enter ours store and tells that she needs you to help her save the other elves that gotten captured by some evil wizard. After teleportating you to the right place you must go toward several puzzle to finaly save ever elf and the world too.

1-Graphics (8,5 of 10)
The game have it classic japonese hentai games drawing but with a little more effort in it, having more colors and with a lot of minimal changes during it's scenes, making believe that the artist really put much effort doing it.

2-Playability (2 of 10)
Well the commands are simple (sometimes buggy) but the gameplay of the game are pretty boring, it's the same room, the same statues, the same portal, but swapped, if the game was not hentai and every X floors you don't received a scene for reward, the game would not have any purpose.

3-Story (6 of 10)
Well have it's commom place, suddely you are the only person who can save some race and world and must go toward several thing to do that (the puzzle in this case). And everytime you save someone you have a scene in there is pretty classic in hentai games too, it just too short and without more appeal to make you captive in the story itself.

4-Fun (5 of 10)
The gameplay is boring as ever, but knowing every X floor you gain a scene with some new elf and the scenes are amazingly well made, that is makes the game worth playing it, but not retire the fact of being boring as hell passing by those puzzles.

5-Appeal (5 of 10)
Don't get me wrong, the scenes are very well made and very appealing, but only the scenes, the game not have any other mechanic to tease you, not even a menu with some avatar or something like that, it's just puzzle puzzle puzzle a scenes then puzzle puzzle again.

Final Score (6,5 of 10)
Is is Worth Playing? yes

STM could be a amazing game if have some more animated gameplay involved, but with it boring gameplay you only play for the scenes that you will gain, but at least it is extremaly worth doing it, so congratulations to the involved in doing the scenes.
