There you will find people who will help you with how to download the patches or if you get errors. THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION FOR BOTH THIS GAME AND THE SEQUEL IS REALLY REALLY BAD!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I beat HENPRI fully before starting NUKITASHI, n tbh this one isn’t as good overall. still it’s def a top tier work no doubt. It looks like it just uses bold cheap settings to draw eyes, but its core is all about rebellious spirit n classic shonen style vibes, totally one of a kind among all vn works. The daily stories have loads of funny silly moments n the author hid lots of references in chapter names, old players will definitely get the joke easily.

neutral · AI labelView post →In case if you are here for hentai: this is actually plotge(game with plot), not even "porn with plot" type. And vice versa if you think about Nukitashi as about some stupid hentai I recommend you to check Nukitashi 2nd op to give you an idea of the atmoshere and what you can expect in this work. Because it's... a fun comedy battle-shounen. It's ironic that h-scenes kinda weak despite the crazy setting in vn, like almost all of the h-scenes involving main heroines on average moege level. So…

neutral · AI labelView post →NUKITASHI, developed by Qruppo and published by Shiravune, is a visual novel that arrives with a distinct and controversial premise, blending absurdist comedy, biting satire, romance, and explicit adult content into one wild narrative. Set on the fictional Seiran Island, the story unfolds in a dystopian near-future where local law enforces a radical pro-sex agenda, mandating public and private sexual acts as part of a societal program. At the heart of this world is the protagonist, Junnosuke…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GET THE PATCH OR YOU MISS OUT ON LIKE 95% OF THE GAME Really really good. Nukitashi kept me thoroughly entertained throughout almost its entire runtime. The game shines the most with its comedy and characters. The entire cast is genuinely really sweet and play off each other really well. Each character gets the time to shine at some point or another, although I will say that the other main characters that aren't the focus of the current route do get sidelined a bit. It's not that big of a…

(I didn't even think that this would be even possible to air) Played for a good 4 hours on the Visual Novel at the equivalent of basically the 24 mins Episode 1 of the Anime, a lot of things have been summarized and I understand because that is how it works with other series as well, didn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't Dismiss It as a Boring Adult Game If you only enjoy pure love stories or aren't into hentai content, you might find the game's world setting hard to accept at first. However, once you start playing and get accustomed to the world, you'll absolutely fall in love with it. That's exactly what happened to me—before I knew it, I had played for 9 hours straight and spent an entire day on it. If you're hesitating about whether to buy it, just consider it a gamble; but I can tell you, buying this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: Don't play this if you are looking for decent writing. Major conflicts are resolved through Deus ex Genitalia*. Literally. Warning: Potential spoilers ahead without markers. I picked up Nukitashi because people kept praising it as one of the best comedies in the medium. Hell, I even applied the fan improvement patch. I still dropped it midway, disappointed more than anything else. In hindsight, starting with Nanase's route, arguably the weakest, did the experience no favors and left a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A visual novel that tricks you into thinking it's a Nukige, then a comedy, then an action and espionage story, perhaps a romance, political and social criticism, existential themes, only to end up being just a good Nukige.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a story with such an absurd concept, Nikitashi delivers a surprisingly heartfelt and thought-provoking narrative about human relationships and social constructs. Every route is unique with its distinctive message about individualism and society, which ultimately contribute to create one the best true ending that I’ve ever read. Don’t let the premise trick you into thinking that Nukitashi is just a nonsensical nukige; it’s a story about struggle, understanding, connection, and forgiveness.…

As I played on another platform.) the BAD [-] A nukige without nukige: This VN presents itself as a nukige — a visual novel full of sex scenes.

You never actually see anything. Example:…

neutral · AI labelView post →Guys, make sure to install the R18 patch before starting playing it. I played for just like 5 minutes without the patch and later I realized that 10 or so minutes of content were cut out already, including sentences and sound effects without which the narration just does not make sense. The unpatched steam version of the game is utter disrespect to the work of the authors.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually, I don't like absurd VNs, and I don't care about H-scenes in VNs. So I thought I wouldn't like Nukitashi. But to my great surprise, I ended up really enjoying it. It was quite a ride. The game made me laugh a lot. The plot and battles were interesting too. Asane is the best sister I have seen in visual novels. My ranking of the routes: Misaki-Hinami-Fumino-Nanase. The absurdity of Misaki's route clicked with me the most (and Misaki is also my favorite character in the game). Hinami's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wasn’t sure what to expect from Nukitashi and went in with low expectations, but it really surprised me in a positive way. It has the typical Japanese VN structure where you start with a common route and then branch into character routes, making it basically a kinetic novel, but the story itself feels quite unique. I expected it to focus mainly on comedy and naughtiness, but it also delivers darker moments and more drama than I anticipated. The writing is very good—especially with the…

You have to enable geProton 8.22 for movies and I'm very thankful for those in public discussion who took the time to explain this.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will only recommend this after applying the Improvement Patch (with the official adult patch) which can be found on the VNDB page for the visual novel (I will not be posting any links to VNDB, find the website yourself) and is definitely required to enjoy it how it was meant to be read not with the current horrible translation. Changelog for improvement patch: FS changed back to SS as in the original. Honorifics added. Honorific and name order changed in the intro video. Name order changed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outrageously ridiculous, stupidly funny, high effort, self aware. Don't be put off by thinking that this is smut. It's a comedy first and foremost, using an adult rated setting for the unique comedic opportunities it offers, and most scenes are even less degenerate than the average eroge. For the love of god though, get the anti-localization patch. Read it as it was meant to be read, not rewritten by westerners who are scared of a two letter acronym.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually I prefer to read the visual novels instead of the anime adaption but in this case, the localization is so insultingly bad I rather watch the anime. That being said, I still cant believe Nukitashi of all things got an anime.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, you need a 3rd party patch to actually play the full game - the Steam version being 40 minutes in total? Then the patched version isn't even a fleshed-out product, which is to be expected - but not in a way that one might think. A lot of people complain about localization and language problems but are missing out the most hilarious problem which is that the voice lines don't work with the patched version leaving you to play on mute. On top of that the character models are often…

neutral · AI labelView post →First, the vn is mosaic censored, even after the 18+ patch. That alone is reason to recommend against buying Nukitashi. The story is mildly interesting, however, 3 hours in and I haven't made a single decision. It appears that I'm reading a $29.99 manga through Steam. I can get better translated, truly uncensored manga for less than that. Big thumbs down.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NUKITASHI is its best when it's an eroge satire, and its worst when it's trying to weave a complex political web of deceit that stretches outside of the island. And its worst isn't half bad, it just isn't as polished. Personally, I like to translate this title as "What the ♥♥♥♥ is a no-tit chick like me even supposed to do on an island out of a depraved sex game?" But that title really hardly even matches the content of the game; instead it is a satire of eroge itself. Ensconced with an…

It mostly focuses on the action and comedy aspect, but it does go for some emotional moments sometimes. Doesn't always land but its solid when it does. Just don't expect anything too deep. Route wise for me: Nanase's had the best romance Hinami's had the best story Misaki's was by far the most ridiculous/funny True Route had the most satisfying ending The game…

Characters are well developed (although the enemies were a little more interesting than the companions) and the story really put a spotlight on the flaws on such a system. There's a total of 4 completely different story branches that each serve a role of providing different aspects of the world and the characters. Only issue is the game has some weird localisation issues, but that can be simply fixed by the fan-translation patch. Also apparently this game is…

Qruppo, the eroge's studio, as far as i can tell has won the moe game of the year award for every title they released to date. If you're 18 or older you should go play Nukitashi ASAP, it's available in English!
