The Fallen Leaves of Saint Linaria: A Tale of Breaking the Curse of the Seductress

Editorial Meh

Saint Linaria presents a cursed-heroine RPG with charming art, audible audio, and a corruption premise built around an NTR-centric story. The creative execution is where it stumbles: the "avoidable NTR" framing is widely called out as hollow — the vanilla path yields essentially a single H-scene, making the non-NTR route feel like a token concession rather than a real alternative. The RPG side adds further friction, with tedious random encounters, a punishing grind, and a missable progression gate (the Baba Yaga/collaborator sequence) that can permanently lock players out of a key content tier. On the build side, the picture is messier. Joiplay users consistently report the game being unplayable, there are plugin-load errors in the wild, and the comment section has become a de-facto help forum full of players stuck on basic progression — a sign that the game's systems are poorly communicated. That said, PC players on a standard RPG Maker setup seem to get through it, albeit with friction. AI-generated assets are also flagged by the community.
