Everlusting Life - Playthru & Walkthrough

That Time I Came for the Smut and Stayed for the Strategy

Let's be honest with each other for a moment. When you download a game like Everlusting Life, you aren't doing it for the deep, philosophical narrative. You're there for a very specific reason, and the game knows it. My first few minutes were exactly what I expected: a high-fidelity assault on the senses that made its purpose abundantly clear. I clicked through, slightly stunned by the quality, half-expecting the entire experience to be a series of glorified quick-time events or a simple visual novel. I was ready to turn my brain off and just enjoy the ride.

But then, the game asked me to actually play it. Suddenly, a grid appeared on my screen, populated with my monster-girl units and a lineup of enemies. I found myself staring at health bars, special ability cooldowns, and tactical positioning. My first thought was, "Wait, I have to use my brain?" I had to consider which unit to place on the front line to absorb damage and which to keep in the back to launch powerful attacks. It felt like a genuine turn-based strategy game had been unexpectedly bolted onto a hentai flick. The first victory felt surprisingly earned, and the subsequent reward scene felt less like a given and more like a well-deserved trophy for my tactical prowess.

This created a strange but compelling gameplay loop that I fell into completely. I'd spend a solid chunk of time planning my moves, agonizing over a particularly tough battle, and swapping out units to find the perfect combination to counter the enemy's formation. There were moments of genuine frustration when my strategy failed and I had to rethink my entire approach. Then, after finally clearing a difficult stage, the game would seamlessly pivot back to its primary purpose. The cognitive whiplash between intense strategic thinking and mindless, primal indulgence was jarring at first, but it quickly became the game's core appeal. I wasn't just a passive observer; I was an active participant who had to earn my debauchery through logic and planning.

Of course, the experience isn't perfect. There's a strange-but-noticeable silence that hangs over the most climactic moments. For a game with such fluid and expressive animation, the complete lack of voice acting feels like a missed opportunity. You see these incredibly designed characters going through a wide range of emotions on screen, but all you get are subtitles. It creates a disconnect, pulling you out of the immersion right when you should be most invested. In those quiet moments, the game reminds you that despite its surprising depth, there are still some rough edges that keep it from being a truly seamless experience. It's a small gripe, but one that I felt every time a pivotal scene played out in total silence.
