Reclaim Reality, a Patreon adult game,  was trying to reach a goal of $2,000 before the end of February. Sadly, they didn’t reach their goal and was only able to hit around $1,200 (still way better than what my Patreon is making!). They have announced that they will come back to the game but will wait until their other game, Future Fragments, is done. The game looks great when it comes to art and it’s presentation, so why did it fail? Well, it could be because it’s a yuri game, and yuri is a niche genre. Or, it could be because it only had partial voice acting?

Now if I’m being honest, I don’t think it failed because it only had partial voice acting, but it definitely didn’t convince me to donate. I see adult games like Hikari Clover and Snowed IN, advertise that they have partial voice acting, which they do. But it always seems stupid to me that when an adult game has partial voice acting, it’s always small voice clips and moans. It seems like a total waste to only do those and not have the sex scenes be fully voiced. Reclaim Reality did the exact same thing. Some of the in game text when characters are talking will have voice clips, but when you get to the sex scenes, you’ll hear moans here and there. If you’re going to add voices to an adult game, then why not add them to the sex scenes. We play adult games for the sex scenes, so you should focus on enhancing that aspect the most.

I'm not even into yuri, but if this scene was fully voiced. I might could have actually enjoyed it.



As I stated, the team behind Reclaim Reality will not be shutting the project down, only taking a break from it. They even stated in their update post that they’ll be adding fully voiced scenes, once the game start up again. Maybe they’ve learn from their mistakes?

If you think Reclaim Reality sounds like your cup of tea, maybe you should consider donating to their Patreon.

Why do you think Reclaim Reality didn’t reach its goal? Did you donate to Reclaim Reality? Do you think it’s a waste to add voices in adult games, if the scenes aren’t going to be voiced as well? Tell us in the comments below.
