VN - Ren'Py - Completed - A Promise Best Left Unkept - Aya Edition [v1.0.0s] [Hangover Cat]

Let's take what players liked the most about the original game and ruin it basically. It's sad how one of the best NTR games in recent memory became just another generic "heroine falls from grace" slop with multiple artwork styles.
Also what's up with the gallery using the cpu at 100%? Did they put entire scenes to play as thumbnails instead of just using gifs?

The original version is better. The art is more consistent than in the original version, where you could notice different people were commissioned different scenes, but that doesn´t make it good. Crotches just don´t look like that, and Aya´s boobs keep getting bigger and bigger with each new scene even though she was supposed to be more petite than Laura.

The bet system sounds like a change of pace and a new addition compared to the rules of the previous game, but the corruption feels a lot more pronounced and easy than in the original version, one thing that it should be harder, if we compare the strong personality of Aya in the first game, and her connections to the mafia.

Maybe the author got burnt out of writing the same characters for two years straight, maybe there wasn´t anything new to invent on this story that wasn´t present in some way shape or form in the original game.

On a personal note, I also don´t vibe with the whole DDLG that Aya has going on in this game, and it´s not because it´s taboo, it´s because past a certain point in the story that should be kept in spoiler territory, it´s cringe.

I love the original unkept version, but this, this was disappointing. The writing is good, but not on par with the OG. I completed the original game quickly because it was so engaging! But here, I didn't feel all that engaged as before.
I feel like Aya got a lot dumb down, maybe because Luca knew her weakness and stuff, but still! The art style was watered down as well! I love the art style and animation in the original one (one of the best features).
Another thing was the rules system, in my opinion, I ABSOLUTELY love it! The best part of the whole VN. Made it all more interesting, but they changed to betting one. The change was so disappointing! I was honestly looking forward to see which rules Aya would have come up and how Luca would have countered her. I feel like Luca changed the game because he knew he would lose? Or maybe the writer thought it would be more interesting to add a new game? I don't know, but the old rule game from the OG would have been way better. I hope Hangover see my comment and maybe I hope they add a new route with the old rule system, old art style, writing style, and animation. Thanks for making this awesome game! I always saw Luca as the main MC! Lmfao
I'm giving this a 3 star. I may change it depending on how the game goes in the future.

As an Aya fan, I hated this version. The original version of the game shows a much more realistic, strong, and genuine side of Aya; this one always felt forced and completely out of touch with the character's reality.

They nerfed her a lot, turning her into an idiot with minimal reasoning ability, worse than the corrupted version of Laura.

Hi, I am brazilian. So my review can have a poor english.

GAME "DROPPED" !!! ( I had to press the skip button for a long time to see if it was really what I thought)

Well, first of all, this shouldn't exist. The developer could have easily included Aya's story in the original game. In other words, instead of creating a route based on her choice, no, they decided to create a game focused on the girl. And on top of that, a Kinetic Novel.

Another problem I have with the game is the art style of the CGS. It gives the impression that it was drawn by different people. Just compare one art style with another and you'll see I'm right. It's just like the original game.

Another thing, there's a lot of dialogue. It's tiring to read so much that it could be summarized with fewer words.

I'm not giving it 1 star because I think Aya is the best female character in the story, even better than Laura. But this game could be much better, on par with the original or even better.

Great game just like the original. It feels slightly rushed because of how many other projects the author does at any one time, but other than that it's Aya focused stealing, and the plentiful scenes look and feel great.

GOAT, legendary NTR game. Its a great spin-off of the original. HangoverCat's NTR rule system implementation will become a staple for NTR games. It will be remembered as a classic of its time, it will be known as one of the best of its genre for years to come. Is it without mistakes, flaws or weaknesses? No. But perfection will always be something to strive for, not to reach. This game strives for perfection and thats the best you will get. gg

A kinetic game that we all know how it ends. The developer has the same old style, each of his products never changes the plot, the comic book graphics are the only exception, but the rest, if you play, or rather, if you watch the kinetic game, of this developer, is like watching them all, boring like in all his comics, including the ridiculous final interviews, we're copy and paste. It's not a game, but a movie.

Ofc you have to let yourself go and embrace the narrative path that this fiction needs you to go through. Once youve done this exercise you will discover a masterpiece, a world where justice is a myth, pretty much like the one we live . Enragin. Heartbreaking. Painfull and brilliant.

Harries of the world, lucas of the world. Decadent bastards

I dont know what people feel is the issue here, doesnt have a reception I would expect. The game is imo better than the base one, Aya is more interesting and fun. Laura was kind of a annoying and overly cruel.

The game has great scenes, its really fun looking forward to what rules the antagonist comes up with. These rules are imo one of the greatest strengths of this game, making it more interesting. Gives it a really fun spin and makes it stand out from your regular corruption that just gets old with how it progresses.

Overall, the scenes are hot, the story is pretty fun and the heroine is really endearing. Great game.

So far so good, even better art than the original story (consistency).
I'm not sure but Luca seems too softhearted in this side story, dev might just want to stretch the story. Aya still irritated me nonetheless.
I'm not sure if common route replay ate necessary since you either comes from main story or ignore it entirely. At least it might save some game space

Either way, i recommend anyone to play the main story before playing this game. It's to familiarize yourself with the story, character, world building and story style.
Though this side story might be feasible for people who annoyed or want Aya route (with Luca), i hope dev won't f-ck Luca up like in main story(There's no ending yet but so far so good for now)

The graphics are ordinary, nothing outstanding.
History - all games of this genre suffer from a stupid story, this game is another slag.
You play as an idiot, your girlfriend is a whore who solves problems not with her head but with her ass. Well, as usual, I did it for you, not because I'm a dumb whore. The main character was asked to bring a flash drive by his old enemy, (who had humiliated him before ) Our hero doesn't even ask himself why would I do this? Why not check what's on this flash drive?But no, the idiot does everything as he is told and this is throughout the game.
The choice in the game has almost no effect on anything.
The whole story is aimed at dumb fucking. Let's have sex like this?Come on.

This is the best ntr game I have ever played.

I actually wasn't a fan of the original A Promise Best Left Unkept because of how cliche it was. The Aya Edition, however, is surprising and creative in a way that always leaves me wanting more. Almost every sexual scene has something I've never seen before.

The art is a little inconsistent, but the first game was way worse in this regard.

The game is also a slow burn and is far from finished. If that bothers you, which it seems to bother a lot of you, wait until the game is done.

The creator of the game also deserves a ton of credit for being so consistent with updates for their game, compared to others that I've seen.

Story-5/5
Art & Animation-5/5

This Project is not for the faint of heart. All of their game are so good,I had to hop on their pateron. Whom ever does Lauras moans .....holds a special spot in my heart, top tier acting.
