Amy to Yobanaide

Amy to Yobanaide or Amy's Fantasies as it is known in English, is one of those h-games that is fixated on taboo subjects. The store revolves around Emi Shinohara, an 18 year old teen living with her stepbrother Tomomi. Besides being prone to daydreaming, Emi is also in love with Tomomi. Before she can confess her incestuous desires however, Tomomi disappears and Emi goes on a perverted quest to find him.

Amy's Fantasies is split into three "episodes" each focusing on a different environment. The first setting is a school where Amy's idyllic lifestyle is shattered by debt collectors and the disappearance of Tomomi. Next up Amy works as a nurse at a hospital to gather clues about Tomomi and finally as a maid for a rich but perverted family. Each episode stars the same handful of characters in different roles, something that the voice actors joke about during the intermissions. I suppose this was done to cut cost and for humor but it just ends up being lame and confusing. The story doesn't even attempt to make sense in any case however.

Visually the game is stuck at a resolution of 640x480 but is clear and detailed. After seeing some of the scenes you will probably wish that it wasn't as clear as the game delights in incest, bdsm and other kinky activities like golden showers. There are some minor animations like eyes blinking but nothing special. The characters are a weird mix with Emi looking like something out of the Wizard of Ozz with her crazy lion hairstyle. It is hard to relate to any of the characters though and the incest related story just makes everyone more unlikable, unless that is your kind of thing!

The game is linear with only one path and one ending which is probably a blessing. Your interaction is limited to "looking" and "thinking" which is as boring as it sounds. The game has the usual grammar and spelling issues and has a tendency to abuse the phrase "minor convulsion" in the worst possible way.

I've seen some nasty games before and while this one seems lighthearted it still has its fair share of messed up content. With so many other games in the genre there is no reason to check out this one anymore.

Gameplay: Non-existent.
Graphics: Colourful but dated.
Sound: Could be worse.

As far as visual novels go Amy's Fantasies really scrapes the bottom of the barrel. Although it has three different stories none of them make any sense and the whole thing is just a poor excuse for some really nasty scenes. There is some attempt at humour but the characters are all completely unlike and the plot a bunch of nonsense.
