Ren'Py - A House in the Rift [v0.7.14b1] [Zanith]

A House In The Rift [v0.4.3 Public]

A good history, a really nice models, and a really nice dev, have your fetishes? Play it, is worth.

Story - A good one, but is really the beginning of the history, the mc is a badass but don't know why.
Sound - Yes, we have music, and thank god we don't have a scream at orgasm.
Renders - Good models, there a really good and different characters so far.
Content - The game have a good amount, not giant, but still at 0.4.3 is a good amount.

In the end, is a nice addition to the site, and the best is a really nice dev, there not many of those here.

Superb. Very lewd, hot and likable characters. Top notch scenes. most of all story is actually interesting. Never wanted to skip any text and thats is a treasure in itself. Play this game and please support its creator. We need more content like this.

The way this game makes you connect to these characters is amazing. I rarely feel this way in games there was maybe 2 similar games that made me feel like that.

Sex is plentiful you earn it in different ways. Its not a puzzle which i also love. You dont have to put together the millennium eye while running in circles to figure out what you have to do. Most games make you do that kinda stuff this game however does not to that i applaud. Great game highly recommend and will support and wait for updates. GJ zanith +1 fan

It´s a really good game, but can't show a lot of new ones
there are only a few new things. So I wouldn’t really call the game creative, but still there is something in it that makes it unique. The characters so far are very good each has their own style and and behavior, some characters are very well worked out. The story is weak in some places and captivating in other places, but the whole situation you drop into is simply amazingly good. The texts are quite good, but what we can answer is even better. Like I said, it’s not a creative game but it’s definitely worth giving a try!

I do have to admit, Zanith did a bang-up job on this one. The renders are good quality, actually quite good for the rendering engine in use. The progression system is also well set up and logically implemented.
What sets it apart though is the storyline and the writing, both of which are well above par. Zanith has given us characters we can actually care about, and that the MC can get actively involved with and affect how their future is shaped. Sex is relatively plentiful but has to be earned first: the girls aren't gonna just jump right into the sack with him. Some effort required here, and I like that idea.
Well done, Zanith.

Review as of version 0.4.2

Pros:
+ The story is pretty good
+ Music is awesome
+ The overall visuals are great
+ No grinding (except for sexy kind)
+ Nice clean UI
+ Rae's ass is majestic

Cons:
- Relatively short so far, but I guess that's temporary.
- Some poses and expressions look a bit awkward, but that's a minority of them (mostly odd lips in some bj scenes).
- Quite a few spelling errors, especially in the very beginning, but... meh... whatever... and it gets much better after the "prologue".
- Not all scenes look equally good.
- A bit too much femdom at some points for my taste, but not unbearable levels and mostly optional. I just wish there were options to turn tables in such events.

In-depth:
This game does one thing uniquely... wrong? Or right? Let's just say uniquely. It throws you in with no explanations and tutorials, just like the protagonist. And for the first few ingame days I just wandered around thinking "am I doing something wrong?".
But then this feeling goes away and you just go with the flow doing whatever. And it's kinda refreshing. Not thinking too much about stats, wakthroughs (although there is an ingame journal for quests), time constraints, routes etc, but instead just... playing.
The chill music also adds to this relaxing feeling.

The plot and setting are nice and once again, quite unique, which I like. And the overall writing quality is well above average. What I like is that descriptions of sex scenes are pretty colorful. Usually, in games like this, you just get animation and either none, or quite lame description to go with it. But not here. Nice. And the animations are also quite amazing, really. So it's a win-win.

While most of the choices don't seem to do much (to my knowledge), I still enjoy the slight differences in conversations they provide. I kinda want to replay again as a complete dick, to see if it really changes a lot of dialogues, but then again, I kinda like the girls too much to do it. I mean, come on, what kind of a heartless monster would tell Rae that she screwed up while cooking? Can't even think about it without cringing.

The characters are fine. I'm not used to cast being so small, but they are written better than your usual suspects.
Love Naomi. It goes back to what I said about the whole atmosphere and music, but her attitude makes every conversation with her this much more relaxing and chill, taking any worries away.
Caitlin took a bit of getting used to for me, but her interactions with Rae and just seeing how grateful she generally is made loving her extremely easy in the end.
Lyriel is very much my type (in terms of breaking girls like her), so I'm expecting it'll be very fun engaging with her more later on.
And then there's Rae... and you know... I may as well go as far as to say, after this game is finished, if all goes the way it does now, she is very likely to make it into my personal top-10 hentai waifus of all time. And trust me, I've seen and played A LOT, so it's a big competition. And she's not even my type normally. Still, she's absolutely astonishing, adorable and lovable. And probably has the best ass I've seen in a HS based game. You just can't NOT smack it every chance you get. It's mesmerizing.

The visuals are great. Finally, another person (other than a certain azure colored feline with his perverted teacher) that knows what he's doing with the camera angles, facial expressions and all that stuff. Great job.
Granted, there are still exceptions here and there. Some scenes have too big of a fov, to the point where characters look a bit deformed. Lighting could be better; there are a few scenes, especially with Caitlin, who has very light skin and clothes, that are overexposed (way too bright).
But these scenes are in a minority and don't sway the otherwise great impression at all.

So, overall, I think it's one of the more enjoyable experiences I've had in a while. It was surprisingly relaxing, and I just feel better after playing it. Can't wait to see it finished and polished.

The way of interaction is so cool, each character has unique personality - body ( ass, boob,... ). Especialy the story has so many progresses that you can decide your own self. The way char shows emotion in their face while f*cking is wonderful as well and i'd love this so much. in general this awesome

Most impressive game I'm played yet, out of a substantial number of games. Good plot, good use of Ren'Py framework, gorgeous characters, and some of the best Ren'Py rendering ever. Can't wait to see this one through its erm... completion xD

Amongst the plethora of unfinished, convoluted or boring Ren'py games this one definitely stands out as an utter gem - comparable to Harem Hotel or Milfy City. I only recently stumbled on it - but have to say that I'll be following it from now on! Excellent work.

A well-put-together story with unique and interesting characters makes for a great game play experience. Despite that I played v.0.4.2r1, it doesn't take away from the fact that I ended up playing this until I ran out of available routes for all the characters. Very very nice.

I just... love it.
The game is awesome, the editings are really, really good.
The succubus character is so cute and lovely. I can't write how much i like this game in just simple words, because it has a unique touch, and the story is pretty damn good.

Review on Version 0.4.2r1

Why are you wasting time, reading this review?
Better use your time to download it and play!

100% worth it. Renders are great, story is well set up, and scenes are well written. Each character has his own unique personality, and that's also well done. Jokes are good, and well placed to enjoy them during playthrough. And finallay, the musik and animations are the spice on top.

I really don't know any negatives to point out, because even the freeroam is done with less amount of grind - maybe because of the good hint system ingame.

This is really a game where you should consider to pledge the dev at some point.

Well done, @ZanithOne , well done. Hope you can finish that great game the same way as you started it.

Really good game. The characters are well fleshed out and distinct from each other, both in terms of personality and visually. The writing is very good, and the visuals are great. I also like how the dream sequences are used to spice things up a little - the normal sex scenes are good, but I usually like things a little more intense when I'm playing these games.

This pretty quickly has become one of my favorites. Really good stories lines, with smooth scenes, lots to do and have fun with in the house, solid characters, and a fun premise.

Currently it's an amazing unfinished game, and i'm really excited to see where this project goes.

One of my favorite game worth to dl, your time, and play

~> The story is unique and interesting I like the story progress.

~>Building a unique relationship between girls, know their own problems, story of hardship, passion, and dedication .

~>It really need a walk through some people are confuse in the start but after trial and error i finally figure what to do.

~>The music is alright but it could be better if it has more variety.

~>The animation is awesome and interesting to look because I can see the game developer put a lot of effort, time, and dedication this is strong point of passion focusing more on animation not many of game developer are passionate on this .

~Thanks 4 the awesome game Zanith your game design, art, animation is on professional level your effort, time, dedication, self sacrifice, and passion

~>I hope many will provide funds and support you this is a solid game that I can I see that you have put a lot of trail and error in this game.

Fantastic Game, had my doubts but the game proved me wrong. Nothing else to say but praise. Smooth animations, interesting setting, good ass looking babes, free roam which i think is one of most important gameplay mechanics in these games. Just play this game.

Hi Reader,

TLDR;Go download the game.
Best use of HS engine , the character design is amazing , linear story and amazing story no griding what so ever.
Animations are perfect(trust me i have seen many).(You even get POV content)

This is a really great game. ZanithOne is doing excellent job on the story, renders, giving characters depth and believability. Sometimes I play that game just to see what will happen next and experience wholesome moments. The music is good and chill, jokes are funny and story is engaging to keep you going.
Characters are very different from each other and feel great as a break from one archetype.

...not that I needed it. I love Azaresha so much that I'm almost embarrased to admit it.
I'd pay good money for her to mention a Vanguard who excelled at Tekken.

I truly hope this game sees longevity and success!

Excellent game, very easy to navigate, interesting story and characters, and animations that are up near the top in terms of quality. One of few open world Ren'Py games that doesn't require a walkthrough to play in a timely manner. Really look forward to how this game ultimately turns out.

This game was amazing by far the sex game I've played. I wasn't expecting the great animations but I loved them. the details were so good and the models were gorgeous. the premise of the story also captivated me I love the idea of being trapped in a house with magical powers it was all very interesting. I can't wait for future updates I would replay this whole game again this game has no competition as far as I've seen.
