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

This used to be my favorite game and I was a patron. Then came Lyriel and Yona. Yona's "character" is that she's stupid, and "doesn't want no book learning". Lyriel is so unlikable, I can't muster the time to care. They are now the sole focus of the game. The renders are great, but the story, and characters have gone off the rails of bad.

great game with story and visuals, lots of content and more comming in the future.
game is prety linear and choices do have an effect on how you interact with the girls, though the choices aren that crutial that you could realy go wrong to much like in other games (atleast for now)

Update feb2023
[Ren'Py] - A House in the Rift [v0.6.9r2] [Zanith]

Wtf, i thought this game would have the completed tag after 4 years.
Nah, i am not a fan of longtime milking projects. I think this game is overated.
And after a good start it gets more and more grindy.

Ju 2021
I saw this game a few month ago and thought it look like a boring grindy sandbox game with same nice bdsm, maybe later. This week I played the Game only because the first picture. A girl chained in a pillory, yeah, maybe some nice bondage and spanking, thats my thing. I was so wrong, half in the game there is no bdsm or bondage , but this game is at start fun to play but often to grindy with a lot of reapeating.
Especially travelling between different worlds makes a lot of fun. The character development of the girls is awesome in the beginning, every girl has his own Character and the story and animations are absolute top tier material. I really hate sandbox but this game is definitly one of the better Sandbox Games from this side but dev should reduce the grind and repeatings!

Update: Later in the game collecting lewd points for Lyriel and Yona is hard and boring and a lack of travelling and Events! Maybe because the game is not completed. So Im stop playing and wait for the next update.

enjoyed the game. the game has a good artstyle and animation.
would have liked to have more content for each character because you max out at 30 affection and 20 lewd.
story is reasonably interesting.

In short, it's already quite late in my time zone, tomorrow (or rather today) I'm going on vacation, but I have to write a few words about the game. For some reason I decided to write comments on every game I play.
I'm still new to this kind of games (hentai / porn), but I've already played about 50 or more games this month.(some just go very quickly)
Due to the lack of a beloved girl or girlfriend with privileges at the moment, these games have become a salvation.
Actually, the game was postponed for a very long time.
To some extent, I regretted that I had put it off for so long, on the other hand, I didn’t regret it at all, because the game was very surprised in the end.
This is literally one of the best animation games I've played through. Really. If you do not take some 3D projects, it will generally be the best in its type of game.
Also, this game became one of those in which I was really interested in reading the storyline. Wonderful characters, which is funny, when I saw an orc woman for the first time I thought "fuck, you could have found a more beautiful character" and then I really liked it, I really liked it. I find her incredibly attractive.
Even at some point I wanted to find more games with orc girls, but this is a completely different story and now it does not matter, I still dump on vacation.
I said about the animation, about the characters and the storyline too. What else can I add? Hmmmm ... I probably won't say anything about how many times I jerked off during the game. But let's just say a lot. I'm out of napkins.
For the first time I did not find favorites among the girls. Literally each one hooked me with something. Although if you perhaps look deeper into the characters, then probably Azraesh is closest to me in spirit, reminds me of my ex. I love girls with whom you can joke with a lot of ambiguous hints.
As a result, in all my thoughts, I can say that the game is top. I'll keep it, I hope when I return from vacation there will be an update (although this is unlikely to happen)
Thanks for the game.

What a game, Surprised me to no extent for the plot sounds absolutely absurd (It is) but slowly all the threads start connecting and you reach a point where you don't give a damn because you're far too interested in the MC and the relationships and the lustful acts to follow filled with good lore and sharp writing and amazing animations and falling in love with the absolutely the best succubus ever.

Im gonna make this short:

Decent to good graphics, girls are different, you are not forced to engage with them, but there are 2 of the same type, and that kills the game a little for me, it wont affect the rating now, but that stain will be there in the future.

Decent animations, i dont know if they are provided by the tools, but they are good at least.

The story is ridiculous but for some reason, i kept playing it. I lost my time downloading an incest patch, but i saw no incest at all, thats another stain, that maybe in the future will affect the rating.

There is a decent amount of content: the easy fucking girl which provides some sex, otherwise this would be not worth the time, cause seriously this milestone sex is making me more and more tired of VNs.

Deformations as usual, suck, but thats what it is, in this matter there is no breakthrough in this game.

All these annoyances are noted and they may impact the score later if the game does not deliver. So far the game is entertaining and these things are tolerable, the overall feeling is balanced.

Well written characters and nicely implemented character developement.
Tons of animated scenes and many of them repeatable without need for an gallery, which is provided nontheless. No grind necessary, just pleasant gameplay. Definetly worth giving it a try.

The story and characters are both well written with hours of content and not much grind, unless you're like me and just had to stock up on stuff before backing up my save

There's very few typos and none of those awkward kiss scenes you run into with some of these games (girls head awkwardly moves with tongue out like MC's eyes receded into his head to see what we shouldn't be able to, we've all seen them).

This is up there with games like Lucky Paradox, I'm glad I stumbled on it and definitely recommend giving it a chance.

This game is amazing. The plot is interesting, the characters are well written.
Rae and Lyriel are the best, but Caitlin is a cutie too. The pace of the game is good and not grindy at all, you will get the spicy stuff very early. The animations are very good. I would recommend this game to anyone.

The graphics the story and the animations are extremely well done, the characters are really well written and feel quite real, one of the top games that are currently in development in my humble opinion

outstanding game with so many lusty animations!! After Being a dik & treasure of nadia this is the best find so far in 3DCG categories! Very Interesting game story & a lot of animated scenes will make you Horny

Fantastic game with great lore and characters with distinct personalities. Interesting and original way to introduce characters while tying them into the story. Dreamwalk instances feel as they should, like a dream. Dialogue is extremely well written, especially with such distinctly different characters whose numbers are still expanding.

This game is great. Every time there is an update, I enjoy going back through the rhythms of the house. The dialogue is varied enough in most places that it doesn't annoy me to do some activities over again.
There is like a ceiling for honey select animation and this gets up there.

A fairly original story (for me at least) coupled with likeable characters and lots of events make this game a very enjoyable one. I'm not a fantasy fan but it's pretty well integrated here (though the game starts as sci-fi).
This is basically a harem game but it's also a sandbox. Fortunately there's little grind needed and some girls are truly lovely. Graphics are good enough and a thing I personally like a lot is that MC's face isn't shown which helps with immersion.
I think everyone should give the game a try at least, I'm sure glad I did!

There's a few games I find worth checking to see if it's uptaded, every time i visit this damn site. And this game is absolutely one of them.
I like to keep my reviews short so;
PROS=
-Great models and high quality animations.
-Lots of h-scenes.
-Actually interesting characters with good written characteristics, which don't feel like it's just put there to be a mindless fucktoy. Rather they all feel like you are really talking to a different person.
-Nice story and fiction.(Like even if it wasn't a h-game i still would enjoy the idea of aether-running and dimension travelers who chills at their own dimension space. Really cool idea.)
-Good writing, nice english.

CONS=
...?

UHS=
-New contents takes time, which I totally understand and respect, you are the best Zanith keep up the good work.

S=
-tfw the best waifu this game has is an 82321983 year old succubus who slept wih 237138271 men before just to manipulate their politics in favor of their interdimensional sorcerer kingdom.
-you can hug the best waifu before sleep (100 wholesome big chungus moment)

(I absolutely suggest this game, it rocks. 100/10)

Like the premise and like the characters - especially the "Disagreeable Elf" (despite the fact that characters like that usually aren't to my liking, but she's so innocent in addition to being abrasive - especially about things she knows nothing about, so it's kind of cute, like a rebellious teenager )

The good: Good and amusing writing, the glimpses of the story that are provided are good and immersive, likeable and interesting characters (I particularly like Rae), friendly / somehow respectful atmosphere

The neutral: Renders are OK, but I personally do not like the style too much.

The mediocre: Gameplay. No branching as far as I can tell, i.e., no influence on the story whatsoever, apart from choosing whether to trigger a scene or not. Given this lack of choice, the bit of grind that is present seems unnecessary and annoying. Regarding the story: As I mentioned I like what is there, but I am a bit suspicious whether it will be wrapped up in a reasonable way. It opens many arches and themes, but does not progress much in any of them. I understand that the large animations of the stories must be a pain to produce; I personally would be quite happy with more text and fewer animations, to get the story rolling. Otherwise this may drag on until 2100...

Fantastic game with good writing, an interesting premise, and great animations. Update schedule is reasonable for the content released. The strength in this game is the animation quality and characters, although the MC can be rather blank even for a self insert. While some of the story elements can be brief and strung out, the sections with extended story are intriguing and worth reading through. The lewd scenes themselves are high quality and fairly varied.

Definitely worth a try if you have any interest.

Super high quality game. Beautiful characters with lots of personality, amazing sex animations, a cute and interesting story, and a good amount of content. One of my favorites on this site, great work!!
