60 of 175 · most liked firstThe very first line in this one is about our MC describing how his d*ck feels running around naked in the streets. Two hours later, I'm reading about how bad is their own version of Alcatraz Island and how to outsmart everyone there. I clearly did not know what I was getting myself into, but I'm here for every second of it. PS. The patch is MANDATORY. There is a reason why the standalone steam release is less than 500MB while the patch alone is almost 6GB Edit after finishing: Easy 9/10. It…

In HENPRI (Hentai Prison), players take on the role of Shuichiro Minato, a man with an uncontrollable urge to strip naked in public. Branded as beyond rehabilitation, he is sentenced to Tulip Prison, a maximum-security…

No spoilers) (Disclaimer: I playtested the game before release for QA and thus received the game for free) Review: What a ride. From Qruppo, the developers of the critically acclaimed Nukitashi series, comes Henpri, and this game definitely tops even them in my opinion. If you've played Nukitashi 1 and/or 2, you'll know generally what to expect here. However, this game is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah, Hentai Prison. One of the easiest, undeniable 10/10s I've ever given... and while it's quite hard to write a review for this wonderful game, I'll try. HenPri may look like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, 2 hour Nukige from its store page... but it was far beyond anything I could have imagined from a visual novel, nonetheless one about a sex offender who can talk to his own penis who is confined to a cruel prison. HenPri is undoubtedly one of the most emotional stories I have ever read, which Qruppo seems to be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[後半に日本語レビューあり] A Survival Drama of Wits and Mockery of the Law through "Exposure" in an Extreme Prison This is a prison survival adventure where chaos and passion coexist, brought to you by the development team that took the adult game world by storm with their previous work, "Nukitashi." The story begins when the protagonist—a man who unhesitatingly declares his public indecency to be "art (self-expression)," and who is incredibly selfish yet holds firm convictions—is sent to a remote prison…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many references to The Shawshank Redemption Glad I watched it a week ago just to play this game :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A little less absurd and more serious than NUKITASHI. It's silly and fun at times, but the grand route had its phenomenal character moments. Don't let the title Hentai Prison filter you from reading this great visual novel!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The unquestionable number one among visual novels in recent years. It truly tells a story about love and self with a plot that is both deeply touching and powerful.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Love Letter to Eroges, and all who love them. If you like Eroges, whether serious or nukige, or anything in between, I would say this is a must play. There's a good reason this game got 2022 best Eroge in Japan, with many both likable and memorable hate-able characters, in both serious and (more often) non-serious story lines. You know the VN is good when the male characters and MILFs are likable. Also please watch at least The Shawshank Redemption before playing this, it references the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHERE IS SOPHIA ROUTE??? Qruppo....please make an Sophia Append route......
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't expect this VN to be that good but it is. The "Alcatraz" prison setting is immersive with characters that are vividly portrayed. It starts off unsettling and the MC knows nothing about the world, but the storytelling and character development is worth it. If you like the art style and the prison setting you should definitely get this VN. What you will experience and enjoy: + Great setting and storytelling with good character development and an intriguing plot + Dark immersive setting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this a joke? A bait? A 2 hour visual Novel with less storyline than the intro of an Indie RPG? You get arrested for showing your.... tummy?!? Then goes to a mixed prison with two guards and some other characters that are presented for five minutes, a girl kisses you and THEY GIVE YOU END CREDITS!!!! This is trolling, i want a refund!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I strip, therefore I am.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I misunderstood routes to mean different paths directly affected by player choices, not just a 'I picked this person, now watch how it plays out' The no to recommending this game is purely because of my personal preferences. If you like VNs where you just read the story this would be great for you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ll try not to write a whole-ass essay. First, let’s start with my problems with the game. Compared to the overall experience, they are very few. My biggest issue is that some parts of the story felt *too* epic and occasionally broke my immersion. There are a few moments that feel off, mostly because of the over-the-top humor and some pacing issues. These flaws are most noticeable in Chisato’s route. As obvious as it may sound, her route was my least favorite. Still enjoyable, but clearly a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like Henpri. It should hit every box, but unfortunately it didn't. Henpri is brilliant in its storytelling. While it is a Hentai game, it really envelops you in this dark world where simple mistakes or issues can sentence you to a prison without any human rights. Hell, even some of the writing can be applied to real life right now, with things like collective shout and similar movements. Make no mistake: the art, voices, and story are incredibly well done. In fact, it's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great writing and fun characters although making plot about how awful mosaics are and then applying them is politics level of hypocrisy. Extra notes: 1. Patch (downloaded from publisher site) is mandatory. Without it game last about 1 hour 2. Despite name this isn't realy porn. It took me about 10 hours to get to first sex scene
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will try my best not to put as much spoilers in this review because I want YOU to experience how great this VN. The reason I bought this game was because of its art style and SHIRAVUNE one of the best VN publisher I knew since I've played some of their masterpiece works, before buying this game I highly recommend that you should finish first NUKITASHI since there are plenty of references, jokes, etc about that game. Story: You'll be spending your life in prison. Tulip Prison is not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Guys remember to get the patch for this game on Shiravune website. Anyway the game is very long, each route probab;y take more than 12 hours to complete if you listen to the character voices and stuffs. Anyway good game 10/10 and also Sofia is the best girl undoubtedly, absolutely wife. I only finished one route so there are still other to complete, this is a long game with patch. Remeber to get the patch.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Character design is bad (art style wise) and I wish they'd pick a lane and stick with it. The protag is nuclear levels of stupid at times, there are words said constantly by prisoners that should have the COs on their asses if the prison is as strict as they say it is, two of the three heroines are genuinely not very interesting at all, and there are many times when I can't tell if the game is trying to be funny or not. A lot of the plot also feels contrived and good and/or bad events that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went in with zero expectations. Came away with probably one of the most surprising and greatest VNs I have ever read. 18+ patch is required. Otherwise you'll only get 5% of the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im new on visual novels and for a newbie that just starts playing visual novels i had questions that if i will like visual novels or not but surprisingly this one with all routes hooked me into the game and played multiple times and will give nukitashi a try as well (don't forget patch the game from the official publisher website or yall gonna miss the whole game)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think that a lot of eroge want to create something meaningful, the team behind them want users to feel something as they play through the game. I think this can lead to a lot of weak surface-level moments as a visual novel tries to push in those emotional moments. I think this game truly succeeds at having those meaningful moments though. This game was amazing, and it genuinely made me cry at the very end (not the very very very end). Its a good game, and is worth a playthrough. There…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What I expected Dark game challenging me to make the right choices to survive a ruthless, oppressing environment. What I got Little to no choices. Tense moments lose their charm because there are no stakes --- you can't prevent bad situations, and can't take action to get out of them. You just watch them happen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Download the patch. Literally 90% of the game is in the patch. This one is a really really strong visual novel, voice acting is phenomenal, the jokes are nonstop and while not all of them land, the ones that do had me laughing out loud. If the premise sounds remotely interesting to you, the execution of said premise is really good. There's a few holes in the plot; some moments are complete nonsense; but overall it's pretty solid, and I just can't help but root for the mc. One gripe that I have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ridiculous but damn hilarious. There are some plot holes here and there regarding some characters and their actions but so far it's a good read. Translation is a bit odd at times when the spoken voices doesn't quite match with the text but it's accurate most of the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sofurin is the GOAT.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally finished the grand route which means I've done all the routes and wow there's no greater game and experience in my life then this. Holy ♥♥♥♥ it was so thought provoking and emotional especially the last route. I think the greatest gift god has given humanity were the people who made this game, to bring this masterpiece to us. And finally, isumi best girl 😭😭💢💢.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They say a good story makes you cry, and not only did several tears run down my face, but even more ran down my leg. I must have lost gallons to this VNs, 10/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Qruppo the GOAT
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far one of the the better visual novels I've played. I'm now about 10 hrs in. For people who are wondering what kind of VN this is, because of the name for example (Henpri is of course short for Hentai Prison), this is not a game about hentai content in the first place and everything else in second place. It's the other way around. It's about a guy who's sentenced because he likes to streak stark naked and having meaningful conversations with his reproductive organ. Yeah. In the prison he…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game hits harder than Elden Ring
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One can so easily and unfairly judge this as merely another ♥♥♥♥-tier game that's merely exists to titillate the reader with erotic scenes, but what's been offered here is a chock-full of very distinct characters with their exploits, and their pursuit of their happiness. Sure there are no player agency here, it's a kinetic visual novel, but one can just strap in and enjoy the roller coaster ride of emotions with the fantastic cast and their voice acting. Though it's unfortunate that the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As good as the medium of eroge gets. The Nukitashi guys came a long way in terms of quality from Nukitashi. Expect less ♥♥♥♥ jokes and WAY, WAY more compelling villains. There are some pacing issues in the later routes but nowhere near as bad as Nukitashi 1. I wish I could wipe my mind and play Chisato route 50 more times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This visual novel is simply put not good. Honestly no clue where the hype is from, unless you have a very specific sense of humour there's just nothing here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this on Steam. I saw it was highly rated and was honestly just looking for smut. What I got instead was a well written story with loveable characters and character development with the theme of prison life and the struggles/injustices of it. I am blown away with how much work went into telling this story and how wholesome it could be with such dark subject matter. It's definitely a dark story that can hit hard especially for victims of sexual crimes. They go to great effort to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HenPri: best played after at least Nukitashi 1, this game imagines a japan that puts perverts into a prison and explores what it means to create adult works in such an environment. it's an interesting reflection from a studio working in this regime: store.steampowered.com/app/3094010/...
unlabelledView post →Another masterpiece from Qruppo this one is a little more vague because the other two titles were quite obvious the main objective this one is less of "going from A to B" and more of a "Let's see where life takes me" still, great game has funny moments, sad moments, hype moments, etc... and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is gigantic finished all routes with 110h in it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am blown away with how much I ended up liking this story. It's not perfect, but it's not trying to be. It is not nearly as funny as Nukitashi... but it's not trying to be. Instead, this is a story operating on multiple levels - on one, it is about someone finding feelings they never thought they could have, and how they deal with them. On another, it is about the insane box we put anything perverted into - the insane "prison" we put "adult" works into - just for being perverted. On yet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sofurin best girl.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a much more serious game than nukitashi1-2. Philosophical and life themes are once again being explored, but in a different way and that's great. The sprite and scene style is top-notch (though I always wish there were more of them...), and the voice actors for the prison guards are just incredible sometimes you even forget this is an eroge... I LOVE SOPHIA!!!PERFECT WOMAN!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →okay. HONORABLE MENTIONS HAD NUBBY IN IT: NUBBY'S NUMBER FACTORY BEST GAME TO GET INSTEAD OF GETTING THE WIZARD GAME: SECRET AGENT WIZARD BOY AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIME SYNDICATE GAME MULTIPLE PEOPLE CLAIM IS "INCREDIBLE" BUT IT'S A 30+ HOUR NSFW VISUAL NOVEL CALLED HENTAI PRISON: HENPRI
unlabelledView post →Phenomenal VN, 10/10. It is REALLY funny but it does also touch upon more serious topics quite well. It's a prime example of how an eroge can have nuanced social commentary and more substance than just yk, your average eroge. Excellent writing, CGs and artwork, voice-acting - everything's good After a bit of fiddling, it runs pretty well on Steam Deck (look on ProtonDB if you want to run it on Steam Deck) - though you'll definitely want to change the binds Plus, this game has the best opening…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The absolute definition of DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS NAME !!! I'm glad that I decided to give it a try despite its funny name because of Nukitashi. And I must say, the writings in this game was so good and the pacing was so well done that it hooked me up instantly. It was such an immersive experience with insanely good storytelling and amazing soundtracks. All the characters are also so unique and memorable and everyone was funny af with their fetish as nicknames too xD. The point is that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE MADLADS AT QRUPPO HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! Henpri, despite the name, is unironically a really good story focusing on freedom, self expression, and oppression themes that are more relevant than ever, especially in today's world. Coming from Nukitashi, I was expecting something over the top absurd and while Henpri definitely is at times, it has a more grounded and serious tone than Nukitashi. I wasn't expecting the storytelling to be nearly as compelling as it turned out to be and got super…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute cinema. In my opinion though the grand route and Noah's route were written the best.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best things I've ever seen, a simple and touching story with original characters, and at the same time with a good comedy that doesnt overshadow the serious moments. Shuichiro my goat. Big thanks bro
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HENPRI is not *just* a prison break thriller story—but also a deeper look at the intricacies of the prison system. And all of its brutality, ruthlessness, and injustice. Shuichiro was jailed for his act of self-expression, sent to Tulip Prison—a facility for irredeemable criminals. However, this prison operates on its own rules…where basic human rights and decency is long lost. Cruel and unusual punishment *is* the norm. HENPRI is a showcase of how our main character Shuichiro skirts and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game man, from what I read and witnessed from playing is that this is a gutted version that takes out a lot of content and makes you run on a linear one direction path giving you an experience and not any game-play for around 2 hours. The game is suppose to have 10+ hours of content but oh well right. You will need to download an out of source patch for this game in hopes that you can get the rest of the content, but if your like me and don't like downloading random files off…

BUT DO I REGRET IT - NO What's bad : + No interaction, thats all, some of you might disappoint if ya lookin for action or making choice, somewhat I can't call this a game, but it still a game What's good : + A whole lot amount of work spent on the story, storyline got…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not realizing I had to get a patch for this game, I was genuinely curious as to why a man would get 10 years in prison for being shirtless in public. After realizing the game was only one hour long, I realized I had to get a patch for the full game, and the very first sentence in the opening had me laughing my ass off, because the 10 year sentence finally made so much sense. "Shirtlessness"? WAY MORE, BRO. This is going to be one hell of a ride, and I love it!
