Closed Game

Closed Game is a lewd visual novel that is certainly something of an acquired taste. This is a game where the developer clearly knew that there was going to be a bit of a niche audience for their game. What makes me say this? Well, the game has a big warning about there being rape and scat in the game and it is unavoidable! To be honest, if you have a problem with either of those things in a lewd game and you still play this, that is on you! However, on the plus side, those are two rather extreme specialist fetishes so if that is your kink, at least you know for sure that this game has that.

Setting The Stage For Something Great

Taking away the warning for scat and rape, Closed Game did actually have me pretty interested in the premise of the story. It sounds like some kind of sci-fi epic. Earth is in pretty bad shape and the people stuck on Earth wish that they could live up in space in this city that is floating in orbit called Caelum Urbs. The twist is that there is going to be a battle to the death to see who gets to ascend! This sounds awesome, it is actually like a sci-fi anime type deal, perhaps a little bit like Alita Battle Angel, but with a lot more poop and hardcore sex.

Is That A Wrench In Your Pocket?

The thing is, Closed Game has a great premise, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Our MC is some kind of mechanic and this dude has to be one of the dumbest people in the universe. They make just bad decision after bad decision and while that is not great, all of the other people that we come across and add to our little party are as dumb as a bag of rocks too. The story really struggles to get its point across with overly long bits of dialogue that never add much to the story or just straight-up retells us something that happened just a scene or two ago. It is a real pity too as I think that they had something cool with the premise here.

A Poopingly Good Time

The lewd content in Closed Game is about as extreme as you can get and let me tell you the scat warning they give you is for a very good reason; the brown stuff is all over this game. Hey, if that is your thing, no judgment, but they could have been a bit more subtle about it. I mean it is good I guess that the game goes so hard on it as not many games do and I guess if you are going to do it you probably feel like you should go all in. To be fair, the art in the game is very well done, a bit of animation would not have hurt, but the quality of the character designs is pretty good. As I said, the game is very, very graphic so that is something to consider before you bravely jump in here.

Why Even Ask?

Closed Game is a lewd visual novel, but it has an extremely linear path. I would guess that like 85 percent of the game is locked and only a couple of choices you make will lead to one of the different endings. The best example I can give is when I was given a choice to stay as a group or not, I said to stay as a group, but everyone went their own way anyway. I do not mind a kinetic visual novel, but I hate being given a choice when that choice clearly does not matter, what is the point? At least makes me feel like my choices are making a difference.

Pros:

• If you like scat, you will like the art in this game
• To be honest, some of the art is very well drawn
• I felt that the story had a solid premise
• There are a few different endings

Cons:

• If you are into scat, this game is not for you
• Most of your choices are completely pointless
