Johan was kicked out of his home by his evil step-mother. At the lowest point of his life, Johan meets a succubus who teaches him the power of hypnosis! The women of his town are defenseless against his newfound power. Will he be a virtuous man, and only use his skills for the betterment of mankind, or rape every pretty hole he can get his hands on?

STORY

After losing his parents, Johan moves in with his Uncle, the duke of Aron. Johan enjoys his royal life of luxury, but soon, his step-mother gets him kicked out of the mansion! Living in a peasant’s house, Johan is losing hope he’ll ever enjoy a higher class lifestyle. Then comes the day when he meets a sexy succubus. She grants him the power of hypnosis. Only by strengthening his powers of hypnotism, will Johan be able to return back to the royal mansion!

Octavia is your stepmother, and she’s a cold-hearted bitch. She wants to steal your uncle’s money! Isabel is your stepsister, and she’s a spoiled brat corrupted by her poor upbringing. She’s very ignorant of the world around her. If these characters annoy you, which they are intended to, go ahead and hypnotize them into your personal cock sleeves. You can also ignore the bitches and just focus rising to the position of duke.

Once Johan becomes duke, you’ll unlock many brand new sexual events all over town. By that point, your hypnosis will be strong enough to unlock all of the embarrassing secrets that the townspeople are hiding. Simply speak to them to hear their dirty thoughts. You’re the duke of town, you can do as you please!

Once your hypnotic powers are strong enough, kill the succubus and become the next duke of Aron.

GAMEPLAY

Nobleman’s Retort was created with RPG Maker. Press spacebar to interact with objects and people. Press SHIFT to run. Press CTRL to skip dialogue when you grow exhausted from reading.

The game cycle is a unique twist on your classic RPG Adventure game. Defeat enemies to level up, and go to bed to restore your health. Leveling up will unlock new skills that make your battles go by easier and faster, allowing for more exploration. What’s the twist? You do not receive experience points for killing enemies! Instead you receive magical “shards” which you feed to your characters. This feature makes it possible to avoid dungeon crawling segments.

For example, you can go the bar and hypnotize an adventurer into giving you all of their magical shards. These shards can either be used to level up your character, or level up the adventurer. By the end of the game, you’ll be sending out multiple adventurers on many different expeditions and raking in the shards.

Basically, you can play the game as a classic dungeon crawling RPG, or you can play it as a simulator where you manage underlings who do the work for you.

There is a feature in the game that is only available to hyper-observant players. On the far right side of town, there is a gray staircase. Walk up the staircase to find the blacksmith’s shop. You can purchase better weapons and armor for your character at the smithy. Plenty of players miss this shop, don’t let that be you!

There is a note on a table in the player’s home that’s a comprehensive game-guide. If anything about the game is unclear, just visit your house. However, if you’re looking for hints where to unlock sex scenes, you’ll need to travel to the recollection room instead. Some sex scenes are exclusive to your time as a peasant or monarch. If you already passed the peasant phase, simply go back to the corpse of the succubus. You’ll be taken back in time.

GRAPHICS

The art is traditional Japanese anime style. If it seems at all familiar, its because this artist has worked on many other games from circle Clymenia, such as the incredibly erotic Civilian Justice League 2.

Standard RPG Maker assets are used, but in such variety that it doesn’t hurt the visuals. For instance, there are four dungeons to explore. From the ivy green fields to the rocky caverns, you’ll be visiting a large variety of locations.

While there are no animations, each piece of artwork has a large number of variants. One example is a photo of Isabel looking whimsically out the window. When the camera zooms out, you see that she is fingering her pussy under the table!

The game’s art is inspired by medieval times. From the fancy dresses of the aristocrats to the rags of the peasants, every artistic decision conveys the historic setting. The artist went into great detail in their work. A great example is your stepmother, Octavia, who carries a hand fan. She waves the fan around, gesturing her orders at house servants like the arrogant scheming bitch that she is. She’s the kind of evil that can only be cured with a good pounding in the pussy.

The character designs are fantastic. All the women have luscious feminine body proportions to oogle at. The golden hair of the holy knight matches the gold plating that adorns her armor. While all other characters have eyes colored in purple, or brown, the holy knight has clear blue eyes, signifying her blue-blooded noble background. She was the purest, most virtuous walking talking dick sharpener before your penis met her.

VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)

Nobleman’s retort has no voice acting.

I’ve played a ton of RPG Maker games. The sound effects in this particular title are unique, and not the stock assets included with the software. The game includes audio clips for slashing attacks, opening doors, walking up stairs, etc. The sex scenes feature the expected wetness of lubricated genitals rubbing each other. The sound levels during sex are low, adding to the realism. The menus also include your standard bleeps and bloops when the player presses buttons.

MUSIC

The soundtrack has 62 songs in total. Some tracks are RPG Maker stocks, others are passed down from previous titles by Clymenia. Alongside these non-original inclusions, there’s plenty of unique compositions in the mix.

The most prominent song that plays during segments in the rural town, a ticking clock keeps the beat in place of drums. Violins and cellos carry the rhythm, complimented by the ringing of a cathedral bell. There’s also tons of digitally synthesized tunes. Right before a battle sequence, a foreboding audio plays as you engage a tough enemy. This mixture of violin with fast-paced beats create a great atmosphere for violence.

HENTAI

The Nobleman’s Retort has 30 sex scenes in total, many of which follow a single sex act getting more radical over time. For example, exhibitionism, showing off someone’s body to other people for sexual excitement. This sex act repeats multiple times, but with enough variations and build up to keep it interesting in every scene.

The girls you fuck include your evil stepmother, your spoiled stepsister, and an arrogant female holy knight. In addition to them, there are a few other women to sexually exploit, including a feisty female adventurer.

Sex positions range from standing sex to missionary. The emphasis is on corruption. Rather than slowly turning the girls into sluts, you grow your powers of hypnotism to manipulate them into more and more crazy sex acts!

You can turn your stepmother from a prideful matriarch into a mouth-pussy for all the bums and homeless men to spill their cum into! Eventually, she’ll be having sex with vagabonds without a word of complaint! Your hypnosis magic grows stronger over time, melting away the obstacles that cock-blocked you at the beginning of the game. Another example, while you cannot hypnotize anyone within the walls of the church when you start, soon you’ll be strong enough to make the devout nun have sex with the good church-going people who visit her!

CONCLUDING WORDS

The Nobleman’s Retort is the greatest hypnosis-themed RPG I’ve played to date. The character motivations are compelling, the artworks are gorgeous, and the gameplay has unique twists that make it interesting. The music is orgasmic to the ears, and the step-mom sex scenes are some of the greatest hentai I’ve seen.

I reocmmend this title to fans of Circle Clymenia’s works. Download Nobleman’s Retort. If you’re looking for more high-quality hentai hypnosis games, check out our review for Book of Hypnosis and Climax.
