<HOW TO INSTALL PATCH BELOW> I beat it all the way through on the website version, bought the steam version to support more of this game. This review will make some of my friends eyebrow raise maybe but, I'm past my 20s, I don't care. lol So, I haven't played the non-patched version. I can't imagine this game without the 18+ stuff. All it'd be is a cheap pokemon knockoff, if we're being honest. The region is much smaller, the battle system is extremely simplified, there's only a few gyms, cities, you can only take 3 partners with you at a time so the battles are far shorter. Basically, the battles are not meant to have a lot of depth. They're meant to be quick. Why? So you can get the reward faster. The real motivation of the game is it's extremely naughty gimmick. I mean, maybe I, once or twice when I was younger, had some fantasies about the victory reward for beating other trainers being a bit on the naughty side. Maybe. I even wrote a concept for a visual novel with this idea in mind, and there's even some art of this idea on my patreon. So, to have a game go for it and REALLY commit.. Well, let's just say for me, it was exceptionally, extremely satisfying. Satisfying to find a new girl, and know, that if I beat her... Well. This game kinda brings out that naughtier, darker side of you that just has primal.. forbidden urges in your sick fantasy addled brain. To be clear, that's what this game feeds into. "Fantasies". It goes without saying, but consensual non-con situations like this game provides would be horrifying in a realistic setting. But this game isn't realistic. Like all japanese hentai media, they make fantasies about the taboo because once it stops being real, it's.. hot! And yeah, wow. The art style in this, the character designs, the scenes themselves, even the main character's ugly little bastard trope... So much kink variety. If you play this game, enjoy it, then you know what I mean. That aside, what else is there to say about this game? Well, the story is... actually pretty damn good. Like, don't get me wrong, I don't want Pokemon to suddenly became ultra mature or lose it's demographic of kids or anything(albeit, let's face it, their audience are the ones that grew up playing the game, not zoomers these days(No offense zoomers! <3). Yet, I miss the days when Pokemon had more interesting plots. Like, the villains were actually bad guys, your rival was an a-hole. That kind of thing. This one brings that kind of tone back, and without the 18+ stuff going on, I'm sure it still delivers on it. The story is mainly about a young trainer, a boy who isn't very popular, that can't seem to use a special device that would let him catch a Yarimon like every one else can. Yet, in his basement, he finds a unique Yairmon that can talk to him, and becomes his only friend. He tries to battle with it against his rival neighbor, a cute but somewhat mean gal. Losing 99 times and giving up 1000 bucks each time, she wants one more match to make it an even 100 wins for herself, but something happens with his Yarimon! It develops a move called Cheat Tackle, and upon using it, immediately defeats her Yarimon. In a strange twist(patch version at least), when a female trainer loses, they offer one hour of naughty interaction as a reward, as if it were obvious and normal. Everyone around who may witness it, doesn't react or find it strange in the slightest. So, suddenly, you have a very fun and engaging incentive to find as many cute female trainers as possible, and cheat your way into their... good side. There's a huge variety of girls(Over 60) in this game, the scenes are very unique in their poses and ideas, and the girl's personalities, but there's a few caveats for those who aren't so into the taboo stuff. Mainly, the main protagonist is not an adult, and if it wasn't obvious by the trailer, a lot of the trainers aren't either(That's why it needs an 18+ patch). This could be a deal breaker for a lot of people and I wouldn't blame them in the slightest. I won't justify anything here, I'll just say that I believe the author of the game and many amazing japanese artists understand the difference between fantasy and reality(Look at any high school fan service anime lol). So if it's not your thing, stay far away. So, all in all, the gameplay is pretty mid as a pokemon clone, but the NSFW incentive and the darker story are both great reason to enjoy the game. Each scene is animated in a unique and fun way, where there's like 3-4 frames looping to give the illusion of movement, but it's satisfying and way better than still images. The body and 'assets' clearly move like they should and react to the uhm, 'pounding', and uhh, yeah there's a LOT of extra optional scenes to enjoy for each girl too. For me, best h-game I've ever played, hands down. I hope for more, cause I love the art style of the artist behind it. Support it! Give it a shot if you're into this kind of thing. ;) Also, the rival is flippin adorable and many of the characters genuinely like the main protagonist, and it has that wholesome but not wholesome harem feel to it haha. Edit: There is a NSFW patch and I've seen way too many threads being created about it despite the solution being pointed out again and again so here it is. To install the NSFW patch, install the patch that matches your specific version. If you get the base game, install the base game NSFW patch. If you get the game and DLC 1, install JUST the DLC 1 patch, not both patches. If you get both DLC 1 and 2, install JUST the DLC 2 patch, ignore the first two. (To install the patch, pick your version, download, extract, copy the data folder into the game's direction and replace files. That's it. If there's two parts to a patch, the steps are the same, just copy the data folder from both parts and replace, do it in order. Copy part 1, then part 2.) Then just run the game ans enjoy.

Did you over watch Pokemon? You: Yes Did you ever think "Wow this Ash is an idiot. He has so many girls who like him and yet the only pussycat he ever sees is Meowth!"? You: Not really I- Well do I have a game for you! Yarimono is about a game about catching Yarimons (not Pokemons) and uncovering the mysteries of your partner Chikef who can one-shot any other Yarimon in the game. Most of the trainers you fight are girls and if you never downloaded a FREE patch that's about it. If you did download the free patch then you will notice that you have 2 yaridexes. Your Yarimondex where it shows all the Yarimons you caught. And your Yarimandex. This encyclopedia is what you want. This is why you bought this game. if your Yarimondex shows you the yarimons you saw/caught then your Yarimandex shows you the trainers you've spilled in. You see, with the patch, your partner Chikef gives Butta (the MC, which means you, also by the way Butta means Pig in Japanese... fatty!) the ability to alter reality itself. Because you are a pig, you altered reality to make it so that whenever a woman loses to you they have to pay by satisfying your... carnal desires. The art in this game, is amazing. Everything is animated, even the grunts and the throwaway characters. The main girls are especially beautiful, and especially animated with more care. There are hundreds of animated CGIs that you can get lost in. This game is a steal for how much it gives you. Yarimono is an amazing game that's not for everyone, but anyone who's into this genre will truly appreciate. Now let's tackle some of the complains people have for this game! 1. T-The patch you need to download is in another website. Sell the full game or don't sell at all!- Wrote some microcephalic addle-pate. You sir are a tourist. Most games in this genre operates in the same manner. Most of the time, the patch is free and this is one of those times. 2. W-Why does the website asks me to create an account.- The website is a storefront that sells some of its own games that can't be found on steam. It's not unusual for a website with a storefront to ask you to create an account. If you're old enough to buy and play this game, then you're old enough to have a burner email. 3. Steam made me download a patch and now my game is ruined!- Valid criticism. However, you can just reinstall the patch you've downloaded from the website (both main and dlc) to fix the game. At least that's what I did. You can also redownload the patch from the website to make sure that you're updated. For my case, just reinstalling the patch worked though. But this is a valid criticism, patch shouldn't break the game.

Every once in a while I get the privilege of playing an adult game that has more content and depth than just being "Adult". This isn't another adult RPGmaker or Unity product that was produced as quick as possible in the name of profit. Think of a pokemon game with a lot of the grinding taken out. You'll need to get the official uncensored patch and download it. It's free. Install it and start playing the game. I had a sense that the team really cared about the game and that opinion was only set in stone once I got to the secret room and the development rooms. There's a lot of content for the money and is well worth the cost of admission. Should you buy it? If you're looking for a game that's quite fun, yes. The adult content is slow but there's enough of it and enough variety to keep you coming back. It's definitely not a visual novel to get your rocks off.

This is a fun Monster capture game, with a pretty good story. Only con I have is the MC design. I get enough of that when I look in the mirror.
