The first thing I notice is the spell sound effect. It’s this wet, squelchy pop, like pulling your finger out of a jar of jam. Every time you cast anything, even a basic fireball, it’s there. Squelch. Then the crackle of flames which is fine but the squelch is so loud it drowns out the monster girl death moans. I kept casting just to hear it, which is not why I booted up an isekai harem dungeon crawler. There’s a goblin shaman in the second floor who does this little chant and her voice line is pitched way too high, like a mosquito with a vibrator. But the futa protagonist’s grunt when she takes a hit? That one’s good. Deep, breathy, almost a cough. Made me wish the combat had more impact sounds and less squelching.

The writing is text based so the audio does a lot of heavy lifting during the lewd scenes. Vaginal sex has this generic wet slapping loop, fine, but the anal scenes have this weird metallic reverb, like someone tapping a spoon on a tin can. I don’t know if it’s a bug or they recorded it in a bathroom. The monster girls, slime and harpy, their ambient noises are actually decent. The harpy’s wings rustle when she’s about to attack and the slime makes this glorp glorp when she moves. I wish the dungeon ambience had more of that, instead it’s just a low hum that cuts out abruptly when you open the menu. That cut out is jarring, like someone unplugged a fridge.

The turn based combat is simple but the sound makes it feel slower than it is. Every attack has a delay, like the game is waiting for the squelch to finish before showing damage numbers. I turned the SFX volume down to 20% and the music up, which helped. The background track is forgettable but at least it doesn’t fight the moans. There’s a futa scene with a catgirl where the audio desyncs by like half a second, her moan plays before the text describes the thrust. Killed the mood. I reloaded an old save just to see if it was a one time thing, it wasn’t. Still, the squelch. I keep thinking about it. It’s not good but I can’t stop casting spells.
