Salting the Earth

Salting the Earth is a niche for sure. Lesbian AND dating muscle orc women? Maybe its because that hits all my check boxes, but I absolutely loved it. The setting in of itself is interesting due to the modern fantasy genre and the whole meta plot about political tension between factions was cool to stumble into. I'm not sure what I can really say otherwise, its still a visual novel but I feel like I still have more choices than most visual novels give you.

An extremely good story with a bit of solid worldbuilding and compelling characters. Pros: * The cast is REALLY hot. * Interactions feel realistic and believable. * Relationship development doesn't feel like the foregone conclusion that it is. * Option to read as both a semi-kinetic novel (by choosing which romance you'll get, you're locked out of other characters' paths) or as a free novel (by choosing to "make your own adventure"). Cons: * A little too much "Hmmm" in the dialogue, when "She grunted" or "She nodded" would have been less intrusive. Pro for Me, Possibly a Con for You: * THIS IS NOT A YURI NOVEL. It's more of a romantic drama. There are sex scenes, but it's not porn. The target audience is lesbians, not men with a fetish.

This game has raised the bar of vns for me. I've played through all the routes of Salting the Earth, and I've got to say, it's difficult to pick a favourite because I've enjoyed every single one of them. Each of the characters have unique personalities and traits that make them lovable. There were many moments where I laughed out loud because of a great joke, and the story kept me on my toes and engaged the entire time. The beautiful art and intricate backgrounds are simply mesmerising. As the player, I got to choose a lot of things that went on in the vn which made real impacts in the flow and ending of the story, so I felt that my choices mattered. If you love muscular women, intriguing stories, and visual novels, Salting the Earth will definitely be for you.

Tall, strong, gorgeously ripped orc ladies? Be still, my gay little heart.

I really quite liked this VN. It isnt just romance, but it also has some interesting worldbuilding and character development. The quality overall is also really decent with great writing, some good music, even if there arent many different tracks, and even some nice art. I mean yeah the backgrounds could be better, but for a nice indie title this has very adequate quality. It also has more content then I anticipated, which makes the asking price even without a sale quite fair. The different routes and characters also really add to the entire experience. I honestly can't really say anything really negative about it. A small minor detail I didnt like is that even on the quickest text display setting, it doesnt instantly show all the text, which made me skip sometimes and having to scroll back to read it completely. The other minor thing is that sex and intimacy is quite a big part of the r

This game is seriously amazing! A WLW-visual novel with buff orc women? Urban fantasy with adult characters? And on top of that, it's brilliantly written with an amazing setting? And don't forget the amazing, beautiful art! It's just captivating. Salting the Earth is just too amazing to be real. And yet it is. What a great time to be alive. How can this be the studio's first game?! I hope that Salting the Earth will gain much more attention. I'm in love with all the characters and can't stop thinking about it! Playing through all the possible routes 100% is a rewarding experience, because every route brings new thrilling interactions and revelations, as well as more story and information about other characters and the plot.
