“This is a strategy adventure game. The player needs to control the boy to find the girl before entering the next level. There are many obstacles and pitfalls in this process. Players need to make timely adjustments based on progress. There are many elemental orbs on the game map. , Each magic ball has its own corresponding item. Collect and use them correctly to complete the game correctly. Please note that picking up items and using items also counts as one round. In the game, the boy's path is not unique. You can change the route forward by blocking the current route. Use your brain, seize the opportunity, and rescue the girl.”

Seek Girl VIII is the eigth in a series of 8 Seek games, at the time of writing this review. Developer DSGame currently has 15 games released on Steam. Important to know we are dealing with a more experienced developer, in this over-satured market of x-rated puzzlers, always some streamlined quality might be expected.

In this basic game, several different girls, have to be unlocked in order to achieve a perfect game. Gameplay in this version of Seek Girl is very different from older versions, basic concept remains the same however, by means that a pathway has to be created in order to reach the girl. This is a rather fun and rewarding task, which is the whole gameplay experience of the game.

Main character, which you cannot control directly, starts moving through a maze filled with a lot of variables, some of which can be manipulated in order to create a safe pathway for the male to reach the destined female character. The game screen is rather chaotic, with a ton of things happening, which results in a more obscured viewpoint of what to do in order to achieve this goal. You get more acquainted once you know what each droplet does and how other actors react. The game grows more familiar and engaging. Levels can be skipped, for faster gameplay and to reduce player frustation levels.

The artstyle of the pictures of the girls is good at best. Throughout the whole game, the same artstyle is kept the same, which is kind of a plus. In some games in this genre, this may not be the case and can be very annoying. Pictures are quite arty and colorfull. There is no free x-rated patch available via the Steam store for this title, however, a patch can be found and installed, look for guides in the communtiy section on Steam. The scenes are quite good, better quality is available on the market, however. The girls themselves have a broad range in clothing styles and settings. All girls / scenes can be accessed through the main menu screen, for future reference.

22 achievements can be unlocked through this title, achievable in less than a few hours. Which makes Seek Girl VIII excellently suited for achievement hunters and completionists. Some grinding has to be done in order to unlock all of the achievements. All achievements can be unlocked in a single playthrough, given you research the levels well. In this eigth title, there are achievements implemented which require you to play optimally, this can be quite challenging in a sokoban type game, but there are great guides available on Steam’s community hub available. Levels can be rushed or skipped for faster completion in this installment. The game can be considered quite challenging compared to former versions of Seek Girl.

To conclude: I did enjoy this game quite a bit, gameplay is fun, repetitive, being overall challenging. Main reason for me to play this title, was because of the easy achievements and perfect game, however. Once completed, this is a game i will not come back to again. Solely consider picking this game up for its achievements and perfect game though, do not expect a lot of gameplay or great x-rated content.

Recommended for: casual players, hentai lovers, achievement hunters and completionists.
