Ren'Py - Star Periphery [v0.5.1] [VoidPilgrim]

ok this is 5 stars for the models and the story. No real animations but man, if you like the models and you like FUTA and you like sci-fi.....5 stars for sure. You are on the receiving end of almost all of the content, so if that is not your jam, look elsewhere.

I hate futa on male content. When I play this game, I shiver in horror everytime I see the manly bits of the MC. So you have to believe mee when I say this is one of the greats. If the MC was a girl, it would be one of my favourites. Makes me regret being straight.

Love this game! Art is great and the writing is above tolerable (very rare for a porn game lol). Probably even going to throw a couple bucks at the patreon, can't recommend enough if youre into futa x male.

Great art, lots of content, and nice variety. Tried another game, Futaisekai, first, but the content was lacklustre in that one. Glad this game is more advanced. Can't wait for more content or maybe even characters?

TLDR: Holy Moly, what a ride, this game is AMAZING , 5/5 stars! Hands down the best futa game I've ever played, with the scifi setting and world building being just as good! It took me many many sessions to complete the available content, if you catch my drift lol.

Expanded Review Below:

Story / Characters:

The story and world building are expertly crafted, and the pacing is spot on. Each of the characters fits into the world in their own unique way, each with their own unique personalities, likes / dislikes, and roles.

You can choose to visit many of the characters below as your primary action each day, and this expands your relationship with that character. Each of these scenes is lengthy, with intelligent dialogue and intriguing plot-lines that keep your attention. All of the science fiction tech makes sense, and has explanations on how things work, which is a major must for a scifi game. Scifi games that don't explain how things work in the world, turn me off, so I'm glad to see this level of attention paid to the world building.

There is money, and some other mechanics including stats in the game, however these don't see a ton of use just yet in the current version, apart from some affect on dialogue. The developer has a very clear plan and timeline for each of the parts (1, 2 and 3), including fleshing out the mechanics, and I'm really excited after playing this version (4.5) to play all three parts when they are complete.

Very rough descriptions of each non-minor futa character below for context in review.
Ginny (Bar Owner on PSX): Punk Rebel who owns the bar in the game. MC is indebted to her early on, creating a unique dom / sub dynamic.
Amira (Head of Security on Despina): Ex-military shredded rough dom, knows her away around a firearm. You can visit her on the ship, and go on relevant missions with her to learn more about her background.
Lise (Engineer on Despina): MY FAVORITE GIRL <3, muscled redhead who likes her machines, and keeps the Despina flying. Her personality is lighthearted and bubbly, and her model is PERFECT. You can assist her on a few different missions, and develop your relationship further on each. While you can't go as far yet as I'd like with her in this update, day 3 is coming in the pipeline very soon.
Iris (Medical Officer on Despina): Stern and mature Doctor, with a...particular taste in boys. There is a particular scene with Iris where she asks the MC a question about the other characters, that I REALLY liked, and hope the MC's answer is brought up in future dialogue.
Pike (Mine Mechanic): Mechanic in the PSX mines, she is busy fixing up mechs and working on keeping the whole mining operation running. You can visit her and help her out with the machines, or in other ways...lol. She is the shortest of the futa characters, but she's got height where it counts.
Tessa (Logistics Officer on Despina): The curviest and girthiest of the individuals on the Despina, she manages logistics on the ship, and like the others you can choose to visit her a few times to get closer to her. Tessa has a motherly dynamic (depending on your dialogue), that sets this character apart, and takes the hottness to the next level for me.
Markala (Port Officer on PSX): Curvy blue alien, and tallest character in the game at 7 feet tall. You can get numerous jobs from her outside of working on the Despina, with each of these jobs leading your character into unique and sticky situations, including some fun with Markala herself.

Visuals / Renders / Audio:

The environments and models simply blew me away. I'll start with the models, as their designs really impressed me! In the futa genre of games, we normally don't get very good renders, the models in other games typically look like a woman with a penis glued on.

I can happily say that is NOT the case in Star Periphery, each of the models were expertly crafted, their proportions, skin tone and textures, everything is seamless and and check all the boxes for me. All of the characters have very pretty faces, and make-up that matches. Lise, being my favorite model of all the characters. The MC is the perfect balance of boyish / feminine for a futadom game, and the model works really well in all the scenes.

Onto the environmental renders, man they are really good! In my opinion they are flawless. The detail in each of the environment renders really stands out, I suggest really appreciating each of the renders, as there are so many small details that were carefully added to build the world.

Finally, onto the audio, this is the only area of the game that I feel is lacking. Some of the areas of the game have ambient sound / music, but I'd say currently only like 20% of the games scenes have audio. For some, this might be normal for VN's, but frankly I have to have sound in all scenes. I found myself looking up cyberpunk ambient sounds, mine sounds, dark club music, etc while playing the game to keep immersed. I'm not sure of the legality / difficulty in obtaining music that can be used in the game (as game will be coming to steam per SS), but I think having music or ambient sounds that fit the environment, for every scene, is a must.

Sexy Content:

If you like futadom, this is the perfect game for you. There are many sub-fetishes that were included. The trigger words used in the sex scenes were very hot (characters calling you a girl, calling your ass a pussy, mother dynamic, etc). I also really enjoyed how the MC was a "hands free" lover in a majority of scenes. All in all, it took me numerous sessions to complete the game lol.

Final Thoughts: In conclusion, as stated at the start, I give the game a 5/5, even with the lack of sound in most scenes. I suggest supporting the developer if you can afford to, as they are clearly putting lots of passion and effort into making the best futa scifi game ever made.

This is one of the best developed ren'py games I've ever played. In short, visuals are excellent, great models and landscapes; good story and hot scenes.

Going in more detail about the characters, you'll see high quality models with unique designs who (in my opinion) are all incredibly sexy, of course they all have in common that they are tall, curvy women with a dick in between their legs so if that's not your thing you won't like it. For those who do like it, you'll surely find a character you'll fall in love with.

Their personalities also present variety with some being more dominant and others being more caring. Making it possible to choose which content you prefer seeing.

Gameplay wise, it incorporates my favourite version of many elements in ren'py games. Exploration is quick without needing to click multiple times to arrive at a specific location. For the most part you know which content you are going to see depending on who you visit. the game focuses on the story so there are no unnecessary minigames or mechanics. If you only want to see the sex scenes you can skip most dialog but, for those who like reading and knowing more about the world, you'll see yourself immersed in a cool sci-fi world.

All in all, if you like futa games where you are the one receiving you'll love this game and everything it has to offer.

This game is the best the genre has to offer, the only thing it lacks a little right now are animations, but the game is really promising and most importantly very very hot.

Would be better though if it wasn't THAT easy to just do it with any character in the game, but that's part of the appeal of it I guess as well

Hot femboy MC lots of mommy huge dick futas what isnt there to love so well done.
Art style is fantastic the story is interesting one of the rare games i download it every single update because its amazing every single time playing from start to finish.

One of the few I frequently check for updates. I will 100% be purchasing the game upon completion. the story is great but still early in development. the art is beautiful and very sexy.
I hope the game will have some non-con scenarios but that would be far from what I need when there are so many dominating futa mommys

perfect game made me cum like 10+ times please add more content

You can also make story go as storylines together with character feminization

I love the work you definitely have to add more content its so entertaining

For me, this is the best ren'py game, I've ever played! The art work is great, the way the world is set up is great, but the true greatness is the writing. The writing is fantastic, establishes characters, builds relationships, and also gives options for the protagonist. Not everyone will like what the game is about, it certainly isn't for everyone, however, this game is so professionally done it's really remarkable. The dev is really talented and this game is special, thank you to who makes this game.

I cannot wait for the future updates. This game hooked me. Love the scenes, such a good quality. Kinky and futadom/femdom greatly presented.

On the map and generally in the rooms it was kinda difficult for me to see where i could click to travel or interact with objects

Star Periphery is an incredibly immersive game with stunning renders, amazing characters, and exciting dialogues. It offers a unique experience where you can embrace a submissive role and be captivated by your futa mistresses. The game truly brings everything together for an unforgettable adventure!

In my opinion this is by far the hottest Futa on Male game. I love the body types and the quality of renders. The story might not be the selling point for everyone but I like the world building and the characters a lot. If I could change anything it would be the goblins teeth but hey, I dont want to yuck your yum but it not really for me.
Im very much looking forward for further installments. Iris best girl.

Really solid game & foundation. It's still a bit buggy, development's on the slow side, and a lot of the more niche fetish stuff isn't quite my cup of tea (some of it's REALLY BDSM-heavy), but overall a very well-done game in an underrepresented fetish.

Great Potential. Excellent art. I wish there were animations. But I can't fault a Dev for staying in his own lane so to speak.

The world building is nice. The characters are well drawn if not all likeable.

I have yet to see combat & would like to see the capacity to eliminate NPCs via shooting or betrayal to the authorities for a massive reward.

I'm taking a wait & see approach to how this turns out in the end.

Just played v0.4 until I got stuck. Not sure if I failed to find event to continue or I'm at the end of current content.

This game is truly awesome. I usually give 4 stars max to keep 5 reserved for excellence and here it is .. That of course doesn't mean the game is perfect, but it's ahead of the game, though in a niche category.

The render quality is great. The characters look fresh and new. There aren't animations, but there's many renders per sex scene. The quality of the English text is also good as far as what I managed not to skip through

This game is all about shemale on sissy action. If you don't like it, it's not a game for you. I'd personally prefer it if MC was a bit less sissy/feminine, but at least the further feminization parts seems optional.

There's quite a bit of content and quite a bit of characters to connect with. Several are alien, which I'm less fond of, but plenty of human looking characters too, and all have big and hard cocks for you to play with.

There's more text than I can handle when I get the temperature up, but I'll see if I can replay to read a bit more of the story

Two minor technical requests:
- Would be awesome to be able to make the text background more transparent.
- And it would be nice to have some auto-forward functionality so you could play parts of the game hands free

Not entirely sure if I managed to play through the content or I missed some event to trigger next scenes. Changelog is talking about day 2, but in game, the day seems to pass after every job type of event. But no biggie.. I'll just wait for the game to be more complete, so I know if I'm stuck or not. Doesn't seem like a game you'd get stuck in, as it's not really a sandbox grind, but basically content with optional order and some variations based on your choices.

Looking forward to more updates.

Beautiful characters and MC, and the interactions of the characters with the MC strongly reminds me of Futadom World which is something i really want to see more often.

The storyline while not the most unique, provides ample opportunity to introduce characters and leave the MC in the most dire and compromising positions without taking away from the verisimilitude of the universe.

Had to make it 69 perfect reviews to not only crank up the numbers but have the excuse of always saying "nice" whenever I arrive here.

Play this game, stuff is goated if it's the type of kinks you are looking for, and for my peers, it's also great from a technical standpoint. Amazing renders and a good enough story/characters (which will be developed in the future and I'm sure they will be a lot more fleshed out) to at least try it out if nothing else.

Finally played all of v0.4 (most recent version)

Overall 10/10 game! I'm not saying that lightly. For what I expect from a a game at the 4th update, it's literally as good as it needs to be. It's not literally perfect, but I don't consider typos to be worth deducting a point. At no point am I disappointed with the game. The game progresses properly. There is no grinding, instead you make choices and see cool stuff, and your choices even affect the scenes you get.

There's also a great balance of build up and pay off. You don't wait 3 updates or 4 missions to have sex. You have a thing to do and you get teased doing it, then you get the option to fuck. AND you can choose not to fuck so you can get different dialogue from different women.

The only criticism I have is that some explanations before a mission and some descriptions of sex, go on a bit long. It's not a huge problem, but I think some things that are done in 10 dialogue boxes could be trimmed to 4, or some sentences explaining a sex act or describing a mission use more words than I care for. You're allowed to keep them exactly the way you like if you feel like it, but I prefer some of the fat be trimmed and some of the language be simplified here and there. Like the news report in the bar or the Space Graveyard briefing, a few of those lines didn't mean anything because I had no context for them. AFTER the mission it all reads far easier, because now I know more about the in universe conflict.

Also most of the dialogue was great. So it's not a huge criticism, just something to consider.

10/10 Futadom game so far.
