Do Disciplinary Committee Members Dream of Succubi? Review Summary

Despite massive content, high-quality art and varied adult scenes, the disgusting bullying plot, grindy difficulty, and limited branching hurt the experience.

Highly praised game overall: The game receives strong positive feedback with multiple reviewers calling it good or excellent. It stands out as one of the most impressive works played this year.

Massive content volume: The game offers a huge amount of content, including 169 scene recall and 3 endings. Numerous CGs, side quests, and erotic events provide extensive playtime.

High-quality art and CG: The CG content is rich, with multi-stage and location-specific variations. The art style is consistent and expressive, appealing to fans of the genre.

Rich and varied H content: H events are plentiful and varied in presentation, including battle H, event H, and defeat H. The recollection room contains abundant H-content.

Excellent value for price: Many reviewers feel the game is worth the full DLsite price due to the large amount of content. The volume is guaranteed above the price, especially considering 5 years of development.

Bullying plot controversial and disgusting: Many reviewers find the school bullying plot in the early chapters to be disgusting, humiliating, and controversial. Some feel the story forces characters to be dumbed down, and that the protagonist indirectly helps the bully.

Difficulty and grinding issues: Mid-game level grinding is repetitive, and the virgin route is extremely difficult and painful. Boss battles are also quite challenging.

Limited player agency and branching: The game restricts outfit choices and story outcomes, and lacks branching options despite its Fate-like setting. This limits player control and replayability.

Missable CG and unlock issues: Players report that CGs are easy to miss and cannot be unlocked all at once, requiring careful checking of the CG room before each chapter. This adds unnecessary time and frustration.

Story quality declines later: The narrative starts strong but finishes weak, with later chapters feeling rushed. The ending involving a succubus leaving the heroine alone is particularly unsatisfying.

Day and night dual progression: The game alternates between daytime real-world activities like attending classes, working jobs, and patrolling, and nighttime dream corridor combat and dungeon exploration. This dual-track progression manages time, energy, and resources.

Succubus proxy war story: The narrative revolves around a proxy war to determine the ruler of the Demon Realm, heavily borrowing from Fate's Holy Grail War setting. The protagonist contracts with a succubus named Lily to gain powers and fight other agents.

Standard Japanese-style turn-based RPG: The core game is a Japanese-style turn-based RPG featuring magic, attacks, buffs, and status effects. Combat is command-based with a pleasure gauge system where enemies use erotic attacks.

Defeat leads to playable routes: Losing battles triggers dedicated defeat scenes rather than a game over, sometimes opening playable branches with exclusive H-content. Players can continue the main story and rematch bosses after experiencing these defeat plots.

Map indicators and hidden events: Map markers indicate the locations of erotic events, and many H-scenes are hidden in corners with mini-games to encourage exploration. Unchecked scenes can be missed permanently.

Frequent crashes reported shortly after starting: A player experienced three crashes within 40 minutes of play, pointing to possible stability or compatibility problems. The issue suggests the game may be unstable for some users.

Steam Deck text garbling workaround: One reviewer reports that garbled text on the Steam Deck can be avoided by launching the game with LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 %command% in the launch options. This indicates a locale-related rendering issue on the platform.

Niche appeal for corruption themes: Several clusters specifically recommend the game for fans of corruption, succubi, and female-protagonist RPGs. This indicates the game targets a niche audience with these themes.

Must-play for genre fans: Clusters describe the game as a must-play series or masterpiece for fans of the theme. This indicates high praise within the target audience.

Not for everyone: One cluster states the game is only for masochists, implying difficulty or niche appeal. Another notes it's not recommended for those who dislike non-pure love genres.

Patch from Kagura recommended: One cluster strongly advises downloading the patch from Kagura Games' homepage before playing. This suggests the base game may be incomplete without it.

Support author and localization: A cluster recommends buying a copy to support the author and Kagura's localization. This highlights appreciation for the game's creation and distribution.

Game completion: 8.5h.

Story completion: 7.0h.

Endgame: 25.0h.

Milky Way developed and Kagura published: The game is developed by Milky Way and published by Kagura Games, with an external R18 patch available. Milky Way has also released other Steam ports like Sylphy and the Sleepless Island.

Abundant adult content and scenarios: The game features a huge number of H event scenes, variations, and costume changes. Full CG collection takes approximately 25 hours, indicating a large amount of content.

Favorable comparison to Celestial Fania: Reviewers compare it to Magical Girl Celestial Fania, noting similar quality but richer erotic content, albeit with a worse art style. Those who liked that game should enjoy this.

Good localization and translation quality: The Chinese localization is well done and the translation is solid overall. Simplified Chinese is included, making it accessible to Chinese-speaking players.
