"Good day, this is my second time writing a review. I would like to mention that this text is being monitored and translated by ChatGPT. Therefore, I will censor the text. It should also be noted that I live in Germany and received the key from Patreon due to my subscription with NSFW18Games. Hence, I cannot publish this review as a rating on the shop page from steam (region block for all such games).
The review revolves around the AVN "Tomboy: Love in Hot Forge," a VN where one attempts to find a better life, or rather, get off the streets, as Alan (MC)."
Story:
"Let's get to the heart of the story. Well, I could spoil a lot, but I'll try not to. After all, it's a VN, and the essence is in the reading. But here's a rough outline: Alan ends up without money in a strange village in pouring rain. Eventually, he finds shelter under the roof of a forge and knocks there. Surprised that he was heard, he withdraws, but Brigid (the blacksmith) stops him from running away. This sets the whole story in motion, revolving around helping Brigid fulfill her tasks and, of course, finding love."
Characters:
"Now, we have the MC Alan, a penniless drifter who comes to a foreign village. Apart from the fact that he is penniless, unfortunately, we learn very little about him. Nevertheless, he's rather... a reserved guy who seeks his way through the world.
Then we have Brigid, a blacksmith who, at the beginning, forges a dagger for a nasty 'Nobleman.' We learn more about her in the story, such as how she became a blacksmith... But well... I don't want to spoil you.
And last but not least, we have the 'Nobleman,' and yes, he's nasty, and I hate him... Brigid... please, beat him to a pulp!"
Length:
"Now let's talk about the length of the story. I took about 1 1/2 hours on my rewatch (more on that in the conclusion). It's quite short, but for the price of €3.99 according to SteamDB, it's worth it. I urge EVERYONE not to refund the game if they've completed it before the time."
Graphics:
"The graphics are very well done. They fit the story and the setting. For the third part, I would like to see some more exquisite settings, but yes, they fit very well. However, I have a small criticism. Since this is a rewatch and I've already rewatched the second part, the beach seemed very familiar to me. Nevertheless, everything fit together."
Adult Only:
"Okay, let's get to the interesting part, and the reason why you all want to read this. And therefore, yes, it's good. You get the scenes you want to see. (I believe that you want to see these scenes.) Well, for me, the best scene is in the tavern, even if it's just a spoiler, and the most interesting part is where at the beach... well, spoilers and so on. The point is, you see the nude scenes with this beautiful girl, even though I found Kana from the second part prettier."
Conclusion:
"NSFW18 Games has released a nice game, developed by Zylyx. Although I would like to mention the sound designer, I'm a bit lazy. Ultimately, the game offers a very nice and short story. In my previous review, I wrote that I found the first part better, content-wise. But I want to specify this now. I generally find the development of the MC better here because nothing is assumed. Yes, the MC may appear bland, and you hardly learn anything about his backstory in the story. Nevertheless, you see more development of the MC here compared to his successor in *** in Forest.
But now, thank you for reading and fluffy greetings, -Erason"
Hey I started playing the game and even bought it for me. But I noticed Bridgid sprite isn't being rendered correctly. Could you fix this in the next update?
We are thinking about it at the moment. Might show up there later. But if you want to play our game, then I would suggest not to wait for the Steam release.
Thank you. you see it's not that I don't want to. but the thing is... my preferred method of topping up or paying isn't supported by itch. even if I wanted to I just couldn't. sorry.

Hello! I would love to play this but it seems there are no compatible downloads for Windows. I hope this can be fixed!
no lapkjogos tem para o windows sem erro eu baixei por lá
This was fun but there weren't many options. The art and animation was fantastic tho.
Would recommend.
is there a demo?

Wholesome story, nice art. Good Game.
Hey I started playing the game and even bought it for me. But I noticed Bridgid sprite isn't being rendered correctly. Could you fix this in the next update?
Will this game be on Steam? I find it easier to do transactions through there.
Looks good!
This is without a doubt one of the most wholesome and lovely stories I have seen in way to long. Bravo!
Kinda suck due to itch doesn't support regional pricing, but I hope it will come on steam soon.. :( I'm 100% down if this one is available >.<
i just see medieval tomo-chan, so definitely gonna buy it, either on steam (hopefully) or here eventually, so you just got me as a new follower
The coincidence with tomo-chan turned out to be completely random XD But I'm glad you liked it :)
DUDES, its rofl? There's anal here, and it looks incredible, I have never seen such detail anywhere for 4 dollars
It's AI generated.
oh, really? looking like real drawer, but anyway i thing they come a long way
NO ANAL CONTENT! Nah I leaving I love tomboy but no anal I out. But It looking good actually.
Sorry if you were disappointed. I agree, anal is cool :)
Is there anal in this game?
No, we don't have anal content in this game.
Thanks for the quick response. I like the artwork. I might still pick it up.
Honestly? Based
will this be available on steam?
We are thinking about it at the moment. Might show up there later. But if you want to play our game, then I would suggest not to wait for the Steam release.
Thank you. you see it's not that I don't want to. but the thing is... my preferred method of topping up or paying isn't supported by itch. even if I wanted to I just couldn't. sorry.
It's all right, thanks for your message. It is very unfortunate that this happened. I'll be sure to let you know if we release on Steam.
Steam banned games with AI-generated art, so I don't think we will see it there unless Steam changes its policy.
Hello Reefraf, the game is now available since Steam changed it's policies :
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2732730/Tomboy_Love_in_Hot_Forge/
Hello Daughterofatroce, the game is now available on Steam since today! and Tomboy 2 will arrive soon.
