Ren'Py - Abandoned - A Sister's Love [v0.4] [BlackStar.Gamez]

This is a great start to a series that I wish you would continue. I know you have plans of starting over and I am eager to see what you come up with. I also love the realistic representation of the female form. I'm so tired of all these unappealing unrealistic upper front heavy creatures that others use in their VN so it's nice to see your view. I eagerly await your next upload.

I can't believe the developer has abandoned this game. It is excellent. Story is unique enough compared to so many also rans (BB clones etc) characterisation is strong and credible, Illustrations are beautiful and whole game just has a touch of class. If not this game, the developer needs to do another - can't have his (I assume developer is male) talent go to waste.

The latest scenes with the mom are so hot. I can't wait to see more of it. The sister is pretty cute too, but after the last update I'm more interested in the mom stuff
200 chara is too long for a review of a hentai game .

Giving this 5 stars is probably a bit premature, but I really like what the dev does with the 3d models here, it is a really good example of how to make a game look sexy.
The writing is good as well, the story is ok-ish and the dialogue at least neither cringy nor full of errors.
One thing to complain about is the lack of sex scenes and the short duration, but both can be overlooked at this early stage of development.

So, I will keep the high rating up for now and revisit it in a few months.

Version[0.3.1]
Great start to the story so far. I have found the excessive use of the word "Buddy" to be a bit strange at times though. Being all to familiar with these types of games, it may be a translation to English issue. Although, it may be trying to establish the initial relationship between the 2 main characters but it still seems a bit too much.

No matter its issues, I'm finding the story to be pretty intriguing and unique at that, which is not easy to find.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing future updates to the story.

Review on 0.3:

I like the game a lot so far. The graphics are nice and the story is well written. Some nice humor also in it.

Only downside so far for me is that from 0.2 to 0.3 the story seems more rushed. In 0.2 it was more or less a normal progression with some sexy scenes and in 0.3 it feels like the approach was "so, lets go all out in every scene". I'm not quite sure what I think of that. The scenes are sexy, no questions asked, but it also makes me worry about how it will go on. I don't like it when things get rushed to much.

But it is in an early stage and we will see how it continues. Maybe it was just supposed to show us that more sexy scenes will come in general. Overall, I really like the game so far.

The writing and story are quite hot. If the quality remains consistent, I might even consider 5 stars, but it's too early to tell. Although one of the characters basically throws herself at the PC, the writer even provided justification for it in terms of story. I was impressed!

Decent game good renders version 2 has enough content some sexy scenes but still no fornicating.

I did notice following the code that the dress was coded as "extras" enabled the persistant flag but popped out to an error as it wasn't coded not sure if there another version out there with the missing content.

TLDR:
no Content. not worth checking out for the next ~6month

game has maybe 3min of gameplay. obv nothing fapable in the game. there is literally 0 reason to Play this game atm for anyone. there is nothing.

remember i rate the Content i see infront of me.

-----------------------
longer Review of the game and it's potential:

male mc (twin brother) White. first render where you can see the mc is bugged and his body is black for that one render. Basic Story of mc not seeing his sis for many years and them Meeting again (she will stay at mc's place). and tbh i dont mind it being a basic incest story, i really like it, and out of all the male mc incest games 90% anyway abandon after 2-4 versions, or they go full (imo) retard mode after a while.

the main and only Girl atm is the sister and she is unreal cute. very sexy!overall renders are ok but some weird lighting sometimes. but the Girl does look amazing, and thats the most important Thing.

writing has a lot of Errors and isn't perfect, e.g. the first time the sister talks to the mc she calls the mc "sis", i even restarted the game to check if the mc is a male or female lol. also the writing style WAY TOO CORNY. im not into it. the gameplay/choices are pretty bad and Basic, make the sis happy and gain poitns with her, or eles you dont get Points. more or less out of the 2 choices there is always a right answer and a wrong one, and it's very easy to know which one is which.

i do like the custom UI! very nice and clean. what i dont like are the trophies. they will Show the sis more or less naked, when in the game we havent seen her naked yet.... i hate shit like that. similar to "dream Scenes" in other games where the mc dreams about a Girl before he had that experience with her while awake. i know it's weird, and maybe it's just me, but it really messes with my Immersion and takes me out of the game.

so yeah, game has potential but atm not even Close to worth checking out. SKIP

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs...

(01/23/2018 - Original Review - v0.1)

Very similar story premise as I've seen in a couple other newer visual novel/games recently... Plus it is yet another overused Family Sex theme... We really need some more originality in these things...

The visuals of the characters are good, but many of the pictures are very dark due to the scenes they take place in, so it's hard to give an over all rating... The backdrops look like some I've seen before, so not sure if they are originals or re-used from pre-made packs...

The script looked good as I didn't see many spelling/grammar errors, but this is really low on content right now so there isn't much to it... The plot appears to be a male protagonist who gets a visit from his twin sister, where she tells him about their father being in the hospital... From what was said, sounds like the protagonist left their family due to some sort of issue (this is a similar theme I've seen in a couple other recently new VN/Games, where a sister comes to visit a family member who left their family years before, leaving some siblings behind, due to some unspoken event at home)... From there it almost seems like the sister may have some romantic feelings for her brother, but it was hard to tell... In any case, shortly after she arrives, the next game day he walks in on her in the shower and the current content ends...

Overall, I can see some very similar storylines in this one, that I've read in other VN/Games, even though it may be a different story path in future content... I get the feeling because of how quickly this content flew by, and how soon the brother is suddenly having lustful thoughts about his sister, that this VN/Game may be going a more sex focused route, instead of story focused and/or a more balanced approach... It's just a feeling, and I could be completely wrong... But I've seen this. practically same, pattern occur in lots of other VN/Games introductions, so...

There really isn't much to this VN/Game for the moment due to how early in production it is, so I'm basing a lot of my predictions off of prior experience with other similar themed VN/Games... Will I revisit this one later on? Maybe after it has a lot more content added, just to see if my first impressions are wrong or spot on...


(02/23/2018 - Review Update - v0.2)

Well, it appears the author's of this visual novel/game are attempting to convert this into a non-Family Sex game by changing the relationship of the sister into a childhood friend... As well as altering the relationship with the other characters... The problem is, it is mostly just a small amount of text changing... The dynamics are still playing out exactly the same, and it still feels sometimes like they are related, such as when the protagonist mentions how he's only a couple minutes older then her... As early into production as this thing is, it would have been better to start from scratch or completely overhaul the text, not just go with some word replacement... Just because the word sister is changed out for the word friend, and the word brother for bubby, that doesn't change the feel of what is being said and how the story dynamics play out... She still behaves like his sister... And come on, the title is still A Sister's Love...

The new visuals are just as dark as the old ones... The lighting really needs to be completely redone on the visuals of this VN/Game... When in a well lit room, everything shouldn't look so dark... There are very few scenes that are not really dark...

The story itself still plays out the same, even with the minor alteration of words... There are a few more erotic flash scenes, that really feel a bit unrealistic... Such as the waitress in a short skirt falling and revealing her missing panties... We all know that is just thrown in to have another gratuitous erotic scene in the updated content, and nothing like that happens in real life... Which kind of ruins the immersion a tiny bit...

I also ran into about 3 errors during scene transitions, that I just Ignored and continued the story, so it has some bugs that didn't exist before...

In any case, this VN/Game still has issues to work out, as well as new issues, being that it's having a conversion done to it... I can only assume, that is because the author's want to keep using patron websites with rules against Family Sex... If they wanted to stay true to their original plans, they could always go with a different crowd sourcing method... But I'm sure the temptation to use the patron sites due to their inherent subscription based donation method is probably the real motivation... We'll have to see how this conversion ends up working out in the long term, as for now it's weird to read... And you can definitely tell it is a family sex story being converted, when reading it, because the tell tale signs are all still there...
