VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - 3001: A MILF Odyssey [S2 v0.1.3] [XCentric Labs]

Version Played: 0.7.3
Time Played: Roughly 5 hours. Reached the end of current content.

This is a mild Star Trek parody (seems to be mainly TNG, DS9 and V), but you don't need to be familiar with or a fan of any show in the franchise to get into the game.
Personally, I'm not really into sci-fi or space as a setting, but I do appreciate me a good MILF or three, which this game delivers on. The first few chapters are a little disorganized, but the dev finds his mojo in relatively short order and the game slips into a nice groove of self-contained stories while maintaining an overarching plot.

Positives
+ Nice variety of ladies of all ages and (humanoid) species (it ain't all MILFs!)
+ Quality writing with fun stories and drama (some of the interstitial images are really funny)
+ Parody elements not so intrusive as to make the game feel like it can't stand on its own and the borrowed elements make the game stronger (YMMV)
+ Bush!

Negatives
- Rough early chapters don't make a good initial impression
- Can go pretty hard into "-dom" (male and fem) and it's not optional
- Related to the above, but the characterization of the MC suffers a bit

Definitely try to power through the first few chapters as the game doesn't really hit its stride till an hour or so in. Normally, I hate the "remaster an incomplete game" trend, but once the dev winds down, I think the early chapters could benefit from a touch up.

For the "-dom" stuff, I have to admit, I find it pretty off-putting and it's essentially unavoidable. It can get pretty extreme with slapping, stepping on people's heads while fucking, and pissing (thankfully that last one seems to be locked to Patreon rewards and is avoidable). This point is where the writing suffers a bit since the MC can come across as incredibly caring and sweet on the one hand, but also has this side to him where he just wants power and to utterly dominate women on the other. While not being versed at all in the BDSM subculture or fetish, maybe these things aren't as incongruous as they seem, but to me, it's distasteful and I just click through. On the other hand, if your fantasy is to slap alien bitches around, then buddy, knock yourself out (or would that be "knock them out"?)

Note to devs: Really enjoying what's here overall. I guess it would be difficult to tone down the dom stuff, particularly retroactively, but it would be nice if we could have bit more leeway as players to avoid or lessen it through choices.

I had seen this a few times in the latest updates but avoided it due to my adversion to over the top parodies. However, lacking anything else I decided to give it a go and I'm so glad I did. While it is a parody it isn't over the top, it's more in the vein of Red and Red2. It's a parody but only a lite comedy. The characters all are immersive and serious in their world. It pulls on many elements across Sci-Fi very well and I genuinely enjoyed the writing and story.

On top of all that it's true to it's tags, if you want maledom for example it's not just one scene paying lip service to it for the tag but a genre that builds and builds as the story unfolds. Slave is not just the MC starting out tied up etc.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the start of Chaprter 7 was definitely an overtop parody that really pulled me out of the immersion and I felt went on a little to long before returning to the games 'reality'. Almost stopped playing but decided to push forward and found the rest of the chapter very enjoyable.

My main hope is that the MC can tell Karyss to stop wearing those frumpty robes and something more revealing soon even if it's in the same theme of clothing but more.. erotic.

While it starts off a little uneven, you can see the dev grow in both technical and narrative skill as the game goes along and it eventually becomes quite an entertaining experience. There's decent comedy to be had with the Star Trek parody elements, the world building is interesting and sex scenes are for the most part really well done with a nice diverse cast of female characters who aren't the standard bimbo types. As a fan of milfs, gilfs and Sci-fi its a charming game.

The story is all over the place. There is also about 4 and a half instances femdom and 72 of maledom. Also from about chapter five on you have little to no control over you get to fuck, which sucks since you have to have sex with characters you may not like. It just goes from sex scene to weird story to sandbox screen to weird story.

Lastly these milfs are mostly borderline gilfs.

Ever want to have that extrastellar experience in which you can meet any alien species and stick your dick into it? Want to clap that alien ass just because? Well, finally found a game that lets you do that.

Though I'm not a fan of being on the submissive end of bdsm, personally, the storyline at least makes it tolerable and understandable given the positions and situations. As for the aliens encountered, well, there's a diverse array and no shortage of disiplinary action that must be taken to keep the galaxy in line. The MC finds himself in various interesting situations, the art and renders are very well done, and the story, though fast paced, doesn't seem rushed. I respectfully give 5 stars for imagination, interaction, rendering, and overall art, visual and literary.

Entertaining story line with a diverse cast of female characters each having a diverse personality. If anything there are so many interesting interactions that there's no way to satisfy enough time with your favorite girls. Interested to see where this goes and how it develops.

I just finished playing through v0.6.2.

This game is a meh spoof on classic sci-fi with a meh story and some meh porn. It's kind of like a porn version of "Spaceballs", but not nearly as creative. I'm a big fan of sci-fi and a big fan of parodies and I recognized most of the references in the game. Unfortunately, the attempts at humor seem to be targeted at adolescent nerds and only the nerdiest of adult nerds. I doubt most players will be amused.

Almost all of the lewd scenes are centered around BDSM. You might say it was the dominant theme of the game (if you think that was a corny joke, it's nothing compared to the corny humor in this game). I'm not into domination or humiliation (a missing tag, BTW) and since nearly all of the sexual content was BDSM, I just couldn't get into it. At this point, the game description in the original post should be updated to indicate that it's centered around BDSM, because there really isn't anything else.

There are screens at the end of each chapter that indicate the developer allows paying supporters to vote on what goes into the next release. While that seems like a way to "give the people what they want", my previous experience with such games is that they lead to an incoherent mess and this game doesn't give the impression that it's going to be an exception.

The sandbox element of this game is superfluous. With the current game content, there's never any reason to have the player click the "map" to go to the next location. Most of the time the game is completely linear so there's only one location the MC can actually go to. When there is more than one location, the MC just needs to go to all of them one-at-a-time and the order is irrelevant. Using the map is just busy-work.

The minigame element of this game is pointless. Just clicking a box within 3 seconds. Seriously? That's pointless even by mobile gaming standards.

In summary, unless you have a BDSM fetish, this game is probably not for you. There's some BDSM content with a lizard girl, and a little sexual content with an android, if that's your thing. There's a furry girl in the game that so far has no sexual content but might be of interest to those with a furry fetish in some future release. Players without these fetishes are probably going to be disappointed, myself included.

[v0.6.2]
Pretty enjoyable scifi game with lots male and female domination, the game already offers a lot of content and was quite enjoyable considering how simplistic the progress was.

My only gripe here is due to the fact that it was pretty linear, very close to a kinetic novel, most minigames and exploration always lead you to the same place and you can't fail, the only choice that you actually have is to pick from femdom/maledom or skip some scenes.

Other than that it was an enjoyable odyssey, looking forward to future updates.

Enjoying the game and he is active and easy to communicate with on Patreon. Fun premise and great art. The story has me hooked so excited to see where it goes, good amount of intrigue and characters. Definitely wide variety of personalities, doesn't fit the usual mold of usual Renpy games we see on here

Well, it is not entirely bad game...

Pro:

➕Nice renders- every character looks lovable
➕It have story

Cons:
➖No real choices in "game"
➖Forced femdom (not tagged till 0.0.5)
➖Content is made by voting on patreon

Personaly it would get better rating (one more star) but with voting system of new content in game u dont know what new update will be, or what to expect...

I like how devs want to get their players involved but the one massive drawback to having content like this voted for is not everyone is going to agree.

Thing there is tastes vary wildly and those who lose the vote and don't get the content they want are less likely to carry on.

It started off really interesting but none of the content I was looking forward to won any of the votes and the stuff that did win isn't really anything i'm interested in. Dream sex does nothing for me either, I just find that a waste of time.

Ship full of women and something bordering on being a sexbot that's offered it on a plate, don't see the point in dream scenes.

The biggest problem with this game is I find it near impossible to recommend. The content is based on player votes so what someone may like one time they may hate the next one.

I don;t mind devs getting players involved with like clothes, hairstyles, character model votes before the game launches etc....

I have always hated content votes. Players should never have this much control over a games content.

I guess the best thing would be to check it out and see if it's to your tastes but the stuff that seems to be winning certainly isn't to mine.

Well, not all games are for everyone and this one isn't for me but it does have a lot of potential for those into this kind of thing and for people who enjoy voting on major game content.

It gets a 3 for the Star Trek parody, can't hate a game with humor.
Unfortunately it gets a 1-2 for the adult content, can only hope it gets better there. Renders are pretty generic, could use more of the exotic staples of the sci fi sex genre.
If you're a big Trekkie/Trekker or similar you'll probably get 3 stars out of it so don't just pass it by offhand, it's got room to improve too.
If you're more of a general adult game/adult sci fi game player, you won't hate it but save it until you've finished some of the higher ranked ones.

It's a Star Trek parody, so it can be really funny if you know ST.

The 3 future path's look very promising even though I'm not a fan of FFM (one of the paths).
The sex scenes are funny but unfortunately the graphics and animation is not very high quality.
Another problem why I didn't give it a higher rating is because the first chapter felt too rushed. It would have been better if MC had more time to get to know the characters better en route to the planet where the accident happens.

Potentially enjoyable. There is nothing to this to actually evaluate yet. So short that you can't get much of a feel at all. Maybe with time and A LOT more effort on the Dev's part, this might warrant looking at again. As it is now, it is not much more than a trailer. Wish I could rate it higher, but I think 2 stars is generous at this point.
