VN - Ren'Py - Actual Roommates [Ch. 7] [HanakoXVN]

Nice cast of characters, with the ability to pursue as many or few as you like.

Great writing with a mix of comedy and drama, great scene direction (both adult and otherwise).

We shall watch your career with great interest.

A female protagonist game with pure sapphic relationships? A sapphic harem with enough sex content. A pleasing story in background. And 7 chapters in a span of an year. Been a while I played such a perfect game. Besides really getting bored of all the similar Cis White Dude Protagonist games that is on this site. Compared to those, this game is a breath of fresh air. Nice pacing, beautiful renders, beautiful characters, good sex scenes, this is a perfect sapphic harem game.

This game took the spot in my heart from "Salting the Earth" as my favorite game of all time. Let's start from the CONS: The renders are OK, that's it, I personally love them others maybe find them good enough. There aren't any other con. This game is a wonderful rom-com: good story, with good cliffhangers; good and diverse characters/LI (redhead, toaster oven, asians, black muscle mommy), good comic-relief (the cat it's so funny, a couple of times I was crying for laughing too hard), a lot of choices that matters and change how your character is (bottom, top) that even change some of the sex scenes. What to say about the sex scenes? They are amazing, always different and they have a nice couple of fetish that you can skip if you don't like (I hate you Hanako because I don't like feet but why you make so good scene with it? The feet scene are too good damn you. A walkthrough built-in, thank good and an amazing gallery/replay scene where you can choose: name, if you are top/bottom so you don't need to replay the game multiple time (I still do it). Thank good there aren't animation, better a game without animation that a game with shitty animation. Update drops regularly every month and I know it's hard to drop something every month and the support it's very cheap (1 euro or 5 euro to have early access).

PS: I forgot to mention you can play this game as Harem or do Solos path.

PPS: Rikako is bae.

This is a really tough game to review.

Looking at it objectively, the renders are outdated, the plot is so out there it's not even funny, The LIs fall for the MC way to fast it doesn't really make sense.
All in all i'd give a game like that a 1 star if i even bothered.

Despite what I mentioned previously, I still think this game is amazing, the best way to describe it, is that the game has spirit, it doesn't take itself to seriously , it knows what it is and it reveles in it. The LIs grow on you despite the lack of characterization.

I don't know what blackmagic the dev did but despite all it's flaws i just like it !

This review contains spoilers.




Have to say this is a great game. Good story with some interesting plot and mystery, gorgeous renders and sex scenes.
Always happy to see more lesbian focused games!

Will start by saying how great the smut is in this game. Sarah is cute, Stella is great and seeing Violet being tag teamed by Emily and her friend Juliet was very hot. Now i am only waiting for the time when Rikako will join the fray, i love her tatoos.

Then we get the whole mystery of why those two corporations decided to start some "war" against each other and use both Violet and Rikako as their scapegoats thanks to their past story. Luckly Violet was able to see past it and also make Rikako noticed it too.
Then we get Arisu coming in with Stella as a "present" to secure Violet's cooperation to figure out who is targeting her sister Rikako at Fujikawa corp while this one warns Violet about a possible mole in Delta Corp doing the same to her.
Makes me wonder what is the end game here.

Anyway i really look forward to the next chapter now that Rikaku will need help to hide from the police. Maybe she will give another type of help too.

The best thing about this game is the cat and maybe some renders. Plot of the story is all over the shop. Harem tag shouldn't be applied here because thats not how harem works but whatever. Whole game doesnt make any logical sense but i guess some people like that kind of thing.

What a beautiful game! The art and writing are extremely modern. It seems this game is made to be relaxing and happy, not your good game with tragedies and tears all over the corner. For fans of Final Fantasy, there is an incredible easter egg, so smart and funny. Lovely game. I can't wait for this game to be completed, and dev, first of all, thank you for this masterpiece and please keep the story relaxing and smart how is it being? I wouldn't mind minor dramas here and there but a nice and refreshing good game without stressful moments and killjoys it's a must-have right now. (at least in my life)

Story 5/5
This is proberly one of the best lesbian games ive played and its finaly one that understands the real meaning of harem tag, one where you choose whos allowed to be in it and not something that is just forced on you like so many other games, so big plus for that.

As for the story its pretty good really, FMC moves from a rathole appartment into a shared appartment with 3 other girls, all which can be part of your harem if you want it, there are also more girls you can add if you wish, then theres the main story where FMC steal secrets from firms which has a good plot and her past as a bitch which is catching up to her as well.

Theres also some fun aspect to the story, spoon does a pretty good job with that part, but also in dialogs in general.

The pacing is great as well and you wont become board since it has a great mix of story, relationships and sex scenes.

There are a few things i see as a fail, theres to little diversity in builds its mainly focused on big tits fetish, only one of 3 roommates are normal/smallish other 2 big and the first side LI is also big build, it would be nice if devs would learn to make a better diversity.

The next thing is the sex scenes, they are pretty good but a bit to short and with game not being animated that hurts it quite a bit as well.

For those 2 reasons i cant give it max points but its well worth 4 stars.

Girls 3/5
Girls are nice but lacks in diversity in builds, they got good and diffrent personalities.

Animations 0/5
Yeah not animated which could have put this to 5 stars alone.

Music 4/5
Good music that suits the game and changes quite often so it dosent get boring, but still nothing really special since none are with lyrics.

Choices 5/5
Your free to build your harem as you wish or go solo path with one, so cant really ask for more when it comes to relationships, theres also atleast one choice that will proberly change stuff for main story as well.

All in all one of the best pure lesbian games ive played.

This game was recommended by a friend on here, who mentioned the magic tags "Lesbian" and Female Protag". Sooo I had to give it a try and I'm glad I did.

The overall story is a humourous unfolding tale of corporate espionage, lust, hot inked ninja adversaries and a loyal lil furball moggy that I named Claws.

Sometimes the story had me scratching my head but unless I've had exactly 12 coffees, I do not function well, so it may have been that. All that matters is it has humour, alright? and allows me to build my own hot lesbo harem.

The last part of that sentence is important due to my own real life harem experiment failing when it hit critical mass and went from 3 to, well, 1

Tip - Never leave your glow bunny within reach of a pair of angry lovers, I can verify vibrators make terrifyingly good missiles when thrown.

The characters are all likeable and some hot enough for that cosy harem should you wish and their personalities are distinct enough to make them feel like genuine individuals. My fave is Sarah and the option to choose the hard-sub route for her was great.

The MC is a nice blend of feisty, fun and cuteness, all wrapped up in a nice alt style appearance. The scene where Janice says "Must. protect. tiny. goth." made me laugh. +1

Renders I found a bit mixed, at times some looked a bit rough as if the lighting was off. More the earlier game content, so maybe the dev was still finding his feet. Overall they are fairly decent though.

So, if you add the humour, great characters, mysterious plot and of course, the ability to have your own hot lesbo harem, is it worth playing? fuck, yes.

Okay bitches, must go, Claws wants a rub.

This game is amazing, for a totally different reason than I expected. Sure, it has sexy lesbian chicks, a decent plot and some of my favorite fetishes.
But the humor is amazing, memes and pop culture references blended nicely together. Adult VNs are rarely funny, so it was a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work, devs, make this project complete.
On the negative part, the images are a little grainy, so there is still some room for improvement, but I can live with that.

Lesbian VNs are always welcome in my book and this one is great. It sprinkles in alot of comedy all throughout the entirety of its runtime and doesn't dwell too long on any particular scene. There's backstories and complex relations, but the game doesn't make you sit through a 30 minute flashback scene to understand why, what, and how it happened.

The MC is confidant and flirty, without seeming like a nasty asshole that's going after everyone. She's sort of a corporate spy that works as an all-rounder while also occasionally doing illegal stuff. Each girl has a sort of distinctive personality, with some overlapping. The renders are really well done, but I find that they tend to become somewhat pixelated and blurred during some scenes. I also like that the relationship dynamics aren't super dramatic between everyone and its pretty lighthearted overall. It plays out more like a sitcom if anything.

The sex scenes are a little short overall, but they feel realistic and pretty down to earth. I think that the game has a lot going for it to outweigh them being a little on the weaker side.

Wish the devs luck, will love seeing how this VN pans out.

Hell yes! Renders are great, story works well and the characters are likeable. Love Sir Francis! The only sad part is that it ended ... but will hopefully be updated soon!

I usually don't rate games 5/5 but this game deserves no less!

Actual Quality

This review is for chapter 3.

There are so many good parts of this game that harmoniously work together. I'll try to list them all:
1. Good mix of lore, filler and erotic story elements.
2. The pacing makes you fly through the game without feeling jaded or bored.
3. The characters are believable and likeable.
4. The models are diverse and distinct without relying too heavily on steriotypes.
5. Multiple types of humor delivered in a tastefull manner.
6. Doesn't waste your time with minigames, sandbox mode or grinding.

I'd also like to toch on the subject of in game choices;
Spoiler, the choices are probably just there to let you opt out of content you have no interest in. But in that regard they mostly fill that purpose. I did not feel the need to go back to an earlier save to see if I had missed something, wich, in my book, is something good. Questioning my choices in a visual novel usually leaves me frustrated and tired of the game.

This game is a lovely experience!

The renders are nice, the characters seem interesting and the overall setting is also nice, however the story for me up until now seems a bit absurd and lacking... Maybe the story gets better in the future releases and the story gets more rounded out, if so this'll certainly get a revised score, but right now it's a 3/5 for me

Imediate 5 Star,
Very Good render, genre under used (lesbian harem),
I really love how the meow (Dear cat express himself),
The story is quite amusing, hope you don't finish like other game in the same genre, who didn't publish in year now

Keep it up , and you reader stop reading and go try it !!

This game is top tier I love the music choice and story so far. The dialogue is golden and hilarious, I love the MCs design and attitude and the girls being very distinct sides of the spectrum yet meshing together well these first two chapters have me hooked I cant wait for more. I'm impressed how hot this is despite the sex scenes being on the shorter side. Cant forget the cat lets be honest the cat is by far the funniest character we love Sir Francis.

A nice, laid-back lesbian VN. Writing is good, dialogs are easy to understand, not engrish gibberish, definitely above average. Plenty of choices, some of them could really matter(?). Renders aren't too great, but that's not an issue.

My main concern with the game, why it's not a 5 star one is simply that's it's a bit, how to say... Boring? You become roomates with some lesbo girls who are drooling over you early on. No real challenges, no real stakes, one of them becomes your lesbo pet in the first chapter. A bit more slow burn would help a lot probably, I'm not really "invested" in the story this way.

There's enough adult content early on, so it's good for a quick fap if you're into lesbian porn.

First of all for everyone reading this you should be aware that this game is considered a sapphic (lesbian/gay or which word you would use in that case) game !

So there is no heterosexual content here, all of the LI's are either lesbian or have a interest regarding exploring their sexualitly towards being bisexual after being attracted towards man beforehand (eww) !

Okey, good after this is out of the way and you are actually still reading this review i suggest this might be the game you really can enjoy !

So let's start talking about the game and the "universe" it plays out. I use a spoiler tag cause ya know otherwise it would just be me retelling the story


Anyway there is more to this game than just the lazy porn trope !

Give it a download and see if it's something for you !

For first update, this was amazing, enjoyed everything about it, renders, music and story, best of all, an actual real female protagonist lesbian playthrough, not many on here, but, glad I gave this a go, not disappointed one bit, most certainly is a 5 out of 5 game, well done dev, wish you all the best for the future updates

Feels like playing through a very horny and very sapphic sitcom, and the game is very much aware of that. It's funny, fast-paced, and isn't afraid of being cringe.

The game is simply refreshing. The writing is solid, and the dialogue is great, especially for a porn game. The characters are compelling, well-written, hot, and actually feel lesbian! Hell, even the music is a breath of fresh air. I would honestly be surprised if this was not written by an actual lesbian™.

If you are looking for something short, hot, funny, and queer, I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful little game. Can't wait for future chapters!
