    I have no idea how the original Vitamin Plus was, I avoided getting into the series because of the mixed reviews, but Slice of Venture Origins is a fantastic little game.

    Great scenes, great fetishes and most importantly - interesting and believable characters

    WonderingWhy

    I was initially hesitant, but..... This is a solid five.

    I'm sure the original game isn't that good, but this one is.

    It's present in this one:
    - Lots of good humor
    - An interesting plot
    - Lots of diverse characters
    - Good graphics
    - Clear logic of passing and comfortable pace

    In general - in one game session you can cum 5 times and this is a very good indicator.

    I like the fact that this game is "crazy", the creators did not limit themselves to almost anything when creating it. All moral norms are broken here, if you know what I mean)
    And that's cool! That's what turns me on, and others, I think, too.

    The game is quite long and constantly throws up "surprises". Just when you're thinking, "Where do we go from here?" - it lets you know there is. Many kudos to the authors.

    It took me 4 days of constant play to pass the game, which is quite a lot.

    I know there is currently work in progress on a remake of the sequel. Well, when it comes out - it'll be cool to play it as well)

    Wow, what a ride, this has been an amazing experience and finding pearls like this is not something that happens every day. But let’s start from the beginning: some time ago I remembered Butakoma300g, author of which I played and enjoyed Drop Factory and Vitamin Quest, and I decided to see if they had released something new. And, in fact, there was a new game, Vitamin Quest 2, sequel to the aforementioned, but, unfortunately, it is still being translated and so I ended up recovering Slice of Venture: Origin (or rather, its remake made by Blue Axolotl) and I didn’t regret it at all.
    The game is a slice of life that follows the spring break of two sisters, the younger, the energetic and curious Yuki and the older, the serious and calm Ayame, who go to visit for the first time their maternal uncle Seiichi, who lives on a large farm with his wife and their four children. The game takes place exactly in the two weeks of vacation and we will control the two girls who, day after day, will get to know a new part of their family, discovering, first by mistake and then by curiosity, their secrets, while also exploring their nascent sexuality and their new desires.
    The experience is quite linear: the daily goal is always to get all the erotic scenes of that particular day, initially few and easy to find, and then, as the adventure progresses, more numerous and to look for in the game world. Progressing, you will also encounter a series of optional mini-quets, all very nice, which reward the player in various ways.
    The game world is not particularly extensive: in the first days only the uncle’s farm will be explorable, but then we will also unlock a neighborhood of the nearby city of Marakoma. But don't be fooled, the small size of the map will never be a limitation and indeed, once we get familiar with it, it will make the daily hunt for scenes and the progress of the various quests easier.
    The erotic scenes, which as you may have guessed are the core of the game, are numerous and the artstyle detailed (there are even the vaginal folds! You rarely see such well-drawn pussies) and beautiful to look at (this is the main reason why I became fond of Butakoma). The game menu inside Ayame's mobile phone is also very nice, with the background customizable with the image of our favorite girl (we will get different ones thanks to the quests).
    The fetishes that are covered are many and the two main ones, on which the game's plot is based, are incest between members of the uncle's family and zoophilia/bestiality, which the two sisters will get hooked on thanks to the porn star Eri's DVD, who will become their new idol (spoiler: if you get caught up in the game's story, the moment when you meet Eri live will be really exciting, which is very rare in an erotic game: seeing her sprite in front of me and realising who she was made my heart flutter). In addition to these, there are also lolicon (with three little girls who are a little too curious for their age; I'm not a fan of this tag and I won't deny that the scenes with Momoka disturbed me quite a bit, but they can be skipped) and shotacon, smell/dirt fetish, demon girls (in this regard, it is worth opening a parenthesis: the supernatural twist in the plot is initially so unexpected as to appear out of place but, as the succubi increase and we get to know them and become attached to them, it becomes a pleasant addition to the main plot) and nipple penetration. Also present in smaller quantities are pregnancy and yuri (very strange that, in both scenes present, there are no drawings but only dialogues and moving sprites in the overword).
    But let's conclude with the real strength of Slice of Venture: the characters. The NPCs we will meet are many and colorful, all unique in personality, passions and desires, many with a story behind them and a goal ahead, not only the members of the Kurita family, but also the various succubi (with the lore of their world), the family friends, the inhabitants of Marakoma and even the homeless (I really liked their subplot, with Gunpei's final revelation). To these must also be added our two protagonist sisters, who will grow and change over the course of the two weeks. Seeing the relationships present between all of them and the various interactions and reading the daily dialogues (always different!) was the driving force behind the daily exploration of the entire map (hence the relief that it wasn't too big), which then led to unlock all game scenes and trophies.
    What can I say to finish this review: Slice of Venture Origins was a unique experience, which I had been missing for a long time, an erotic game created with love and the desire to do it well even beyond the lewd component. The real flaw is that, once you finish it, you'll want more (but, from what I've seen, the sequels aren't up to par. I'll try Slice of Venture 2 and we'll see). I highly recommend everyone to try it. Five stars and a place in my heart.

    Excellent game which is carried by the art quality and fetishes.

    I've never actually played the original Vitamin Plus game so I don't really have a comparison.

    The story itself is nothing special but its not bad either, I do like the discovery of beastiality through the DVDs and its nice to see them go from innocent cute girls to animal sluts.

    The art is probably the best I've ever seen. The CGs are so detailed, including the insides of the vaginal walls and stuff, it's incredible. Just by looking at the pictures of Vitamin Plus, this remake is a huge visual improvement. The scenes are also fantastic. Lots of beastiality and incest which is great. The shota content is also amazing in this game, especially with the increidbly detailed art, it's so good. The only issue with the scenes is that it can be easy to miss some of them.

    Other stuff : nice phone ui, i liked that it's different from generic RPGM menus. Steins Gate reference is always appreciated and gets bonus points for that. There are few things that arent great though, it's mostly the horrendous progression; sometimes its really confusing how youre meant to progress the game as there are no hints, no clear directions, you pretty much just talk to everyone around the map. Because of this, as i said before, it's very easy to miss some scenes. I appreciate the inclusion of a gallery, but i wish there were just some text hints to make it easier to unlock the scenes i missed.

    Overall, despite the lack of clear direction sometimes, it's an amazing game and is probably in my top 10/15 just because of the art and fetish content. 9.1/10, A+ tier game

    Mr Ero

    A rather questionable game i have to say,but the stories is extremely well constructed.I laugh my ass off couple time playing this game looking how morally questionable the stories is.


    The game isnt THAT hard,but it does eat up some times to dig out where to go next.

    I play eroges almost daily for 3 years now, along the way I found some gems, but Slice of Venture origins is the best gem I ever found. I played the game like 2 years ago and I still replay it once in a while...

    Before you play it I recommend one thing... SAVE SAVE SAVE... also check your gallery every day to see if you didn't miss any scene, if you did just straight up reload your save.

    As for the other games in the series, they are decent... I wouldn't call them something special, the art is much worse than in SoV, and they lack the same atmosphere.

    This is my first eroge review on this site, and I don't think I will ever give any other eroge 5 stars, since this is the only eroge that deserves a perfect rating, I wish more eroges like this would be created.

    This is a remake of Vitamin Plus. A lot of changes were made from VP (Vitamin Plus) to this one. It doesn't include and inherit everything from VP. Many scenes are omitted and many added. How the scenarios are presented feels drastically different and the plot in detail is ~ 70% the same. This game has less 'work' involved whereas VP can be heavier in the gameplay aspect.
    The art here looks very polished and quality in much better then VP. How the inner vagina is drawn in impressively detailed. It's certainly a big upgrade in the graphics aspect.

    There are only 2 pregnancy and birth scenes here, but Misao's scene alone looks amazing.

    For the full experience, you should play both this and VP. I didn't really feel like playing the same game after finishing VP then jump to this one.

    cursed spark

    mainly came into the game cuz of "pregnancy" tag. only has 1 scene and not even real pregnancy, that was a bit dissapointing but the rest of the game made up for it by other things, such as gameplay, for a RPGM i have never seen such a joy of a combat to use, you receive cards as you progress and their describtion and use is so obvious that you honestly dont need much thought to progress (at least on easy mode, cuz thats what i chose)

    the art is cute but with janky animations sometimes, like the main villainesses eyebrows stuck in place while the rest of the body moves (this happens during a certain sex scene) normally even moving under the eyes at certain point of the animation,
    like alot of games theres censore in place, i am used to it at this point and it doesnt hinder my experience at all by now, but its still worth mentioning.

    for an RPGM game this is very good, and even if the pregnancy fetish is basically non existant despite mentioning it in the tags, its still a game worth playing.

    enjoy.

    It's a remake of one of the best bestiality games out there!
    Ark Thompson is one of the best veteran developers in my oppinion!

    The game itself is very good and very kinki like the original game.
    The Story is fantastic.

    As a remake, one might expect this game to work towards improving the flaws of the original. Ironically, other then giving a new spin on events, the primary flaw remains mostly intact. Which is to say, making any kind of progress in this game just sucks. To call it a headache would be an understatement. Granted, I've not played for several builds now, so mayhaps, however unlikely, the game has been streamlined. Either way, as much as I appreciate the work devs put into their games, this one is a pass for me.

    At least the art is good, which is its only saving grace.

    The story was fun and very entertaining for anyone who likes more extreme fetishes. I'm a huge fan of incest, bestiality and pee, and this game provides plenty of it. I have played through each of these games so far and really wish there were more in the series and more games like this one in general.
