VN - Ren'Py - A Foreign World [Ep.6] [HighbornTiger]

I thought I had seen all the possible ways to create a harem, but this one differentiates itself enough to be very interesting. For an initial release/demo, this is an excellent showing. The premise is interesting and very well executed and it leaves enough mysteries and dangling threads to make you come back for more.

It is also very well made on a technical level. There are no performance or language issues, and the visuals are great. Because the harem is so large, remembering all their names might be a little difficult, but all their appearances are different enough to be memorable and distinct.

Definitely give this one a shot and I can't wait for more.

Pros:
MC is not a creep
Plot seems well thought out
Renders are good
Models are good
The lore seems well delivered and not like a data dump
Cons:
The small sandbox moments in the beginning feel sorta useless
Extremely rare typos

For a demo there is a lot of content.

PROS
Renders are good
Models are good
Story is pretty interesting

CONS
There are tiny writing mistakes

Summary
I enjoyed the story so far. It's interesting and not like other stories on here.
There was a few small writing mistakes, but it didn't disrupt the flow of things.
I recommend this VN because it has an interesting plot.
Good luck to the dev(s) and hopefully we won't have to wait 6 months for the next installation.

This is a very ambitious beginning, much longer than most prologues. The MC is a cool guy, the off-world women are amazing, as drawn and as a concept. There is nudity, with very natural body shapes. The harem possibility is something that will have me continuing to follow this story. I wasn't paid for my rating, but I have become a paid supporter of Highborn Tiger.

Review version: Pilot Episode

Definitely an interesting game with decent writing. For those who care only about this detail, there's no sex yet in this pilot episode (awwww?! ) but still some nudity (yay! ).

The pilot emphasizes the cultural differences between the protagonist and the refugees. The differences may be obvious, but the writer doesn't rush to solve them by soothing dialogue, but seems to allow the player to first discover the more intricate implications. What helps, is that the main character seems to have his own past with internal conflicts as well, making him reluctant (for now) to rush into anything other than helping those in need.

Definitely a story to keep an eye on, and I do hope the developer plans for many episodes. The angle of the story may not be completely unique (though still rare in my opinion), but it's interesting enough to make something that goes on for a year or two without need to constantly introduce new "features" and "unlocks". Apart from the antagonist, I don't think there will be a further need for introducing characters or abilities from "the other world". Maybe in a next season if HighbornTiger finishes this story sometime. But the current setup is already as good as it needs to be for the current storyline.
