"Eleanor's Handmaid" was a mix of good and sweet moments, though sometimes feeling dull and drawn-out to me. The adult interactions are sometimes tender and cute, but never particularly explicit and even a bit repetitive. Additionally, there's a lot of background lore that, in my opinion, wasn't essential for the plot's function which slowed the pacing. I confess to having skipped over some of it, hoping to interact more with the characters instead and get to know them better. When doing so, however, the game becomes rather short and might feel even shorter due to the limited number of choices. Even so, it was a pleasant enough read and certainly doesn’t deserve a negative review. If the art style appeals to you, and you like women who can summon something extra between their legs when the situation calls for it, this might be right down your alley. (5/10)

Characters:

Eleanor "Ella" D'Faerwyn is the heir of the Faerwyn noble family. She's dutiful and somewhat shy but usually lively and playful at home. She's very fond of her maids and treats them as family members rather than servants.
Sofia Firlake has been the handmaid of Eleanor her entire life. She's cheerful and often mischievous but extremely devoted to her mistress. Now that they are both adults, Sofia is hoping to take her relationship with Eleanor to the next level...
Helen Firlake is the chief maid of the Faerwyn family and the mother of Sofia and Laura. She has a dark past that she rarely talks about, but she's happy with her life now. She considers Julie her hero and has strong feelings of affection for Eleanor as well.

Julie D'Faerwyn is the current head of the Faerwyn family and the mother of Eleanor. She's a retired special forces captain who has found more pleasant (and pleasurable) ways of living her life in the past decade and a half. She's proud and powerful but generally amiable toward everyone around her.
Laura Firlake is a housemaid and the gardener of the Faerwyn family and Sofia's older half-sister. She's perceptive and well-informed but not very talkative. She considers both Eleanor and Sofia her little sisters.
Nerisha is a young adult succubus who has recently moved to Earth from the Underground and entered Lady Julie's service. She's liberal-minded and, unlike most succubi, views humans as her equals. She's rumored to be very "nice and cute."

User Reviews
This was a very enjoyable visual novel. The plot knows exactly why we're here, and it delivers. Each love interest has her own defined personality, and the side characters feel distinct. As you might expect, considering the type of game this one is, everyone is horny AF; sometimes a little too much, but it never becomes a problem, at least for me. Between context clues in the narration and dialogue, plus the encyclopedia (Makai Wiki) articles, the world presented seems lived-in. I'd like to learn more, and I asume the other games from this developer will expand on those details that are hinted at here. I'm visually impaired, so I can't really comment on how good the art is, though the anime art style is a big plus, since it is easier for me to see than all the 3D-rendered visual novels that have become prominent on recent years. Speaking of, since this game was made with the Ren'Py engine, various accessibility options are available. I personally use the self-voicing feature to read...
