VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Actual Roommates [Steam Final] [HanakoXVN]

I just loved this game! Interesting characters, gripping plot, beautiful girls, funny scenes and a lot of possible endings.

For me, this game set a new standard. This is probably the best game I've ever played!

First, my usual disclaimer
In this game, you play a pure lesbian protagonist.
No male MC, no dicks (albeit from some rubber ones ;-)).
Oh, and no incest. Except the two Japanese, the girls are really roommates. And there no lewd actions between the two sisters.
So, if you love dicks or bang your family, this is definitely not a game for you.

Still with us?
OK, the review then
Simple, this one of my favorite games.

The first thing I love is the humor. For anyone who's on this forum, just the title is hilarious.
And there is lot of jokes all along the game.

I like badass FMC, and Violet is definitely one of them.

It's not a philosophical masterpiece, but the story has good plots and is entertaining.
It's like an adult action movie, with fights, conspiracies between big corporations, some personal grievances, twits... and lot of girl-girl lewd scenes.
Never a dull moment.

Perhaps the main flaw of this game, some of the LI lack a bit of favour.
But then here the main NPC: Spoon the cat.
I'm more a dog person, but I enjoyed every of his appearances.
Lets be real, he often steal the show.

Last thing.
The very first release of the game was on February 2024.
A bit more than a year after, the game was completed!
If it was just for that, HanakoXVN should already be proud of herself.
But she should also be proud to give us a very good game.
Can't wait to play AR2.

I recommend this game. Decent renders, no grind bullshit, choices that matter, but not labyrinthine. Sex scenes are not completely my cup of tea, but enjoyed this game thanks to the plot anyway. Setting and plot are heavily influenced by Cyberpunk universe, and this was a good influence. Just a game that did everything right.

a visual novel as they all should be. Started and finished in a year, without stories left half-finished or improbable endless seasons. The product is overall good, the story is fun, the characters are well defined, the choices count enough. The downside is the graphics, not exceptional, and the lack of animations.

I just finished the game and even after a little misunderstanding about versions. I am now back to change my initial review of the game, I am happy to say.. I really like the game, I find all the characters engaging and love the "comments" from the cat. Its a great story..

Very good AVN! The models are very endearing, the story is nice and the endings are well constructed, including the epilogue. No perversion. An AVN exclusively focused on girls and it's enjoyable, so much so that we regret arriving at the end of the adventure so quickly. We want more! I like cats too
I don't understand the bad critics on rhis AVN

V.final (until the DLC comes out or a bugfix....then the bugfix for the bugfix and it all gets a bit messy. then it's final two and three and ...)

but seriously, this game already has a major flaw before you even start to play it. the MC is a female. females have three holes to get sexy with. males only have two. dunno about you but i understand easily why some women turn homosexual.
as i always say to those gay men who say i just haven't tried it yet......i hate to limit my options.

but here is a real lack of one tag. no hamster mouths get filled.
this is a lesbian game meaning 6 YES SIX holes in bed at once minimum but only 4 get filled as the anal tag is nowhere to be seen.
what kind of madness is that? two women can use three double dildos at once. i know because i have seen it done. best show of my life, even though i got blue balled at the time as i was tied to a chair. (ikr? totally evil...but fun)

sure the story also goes to crap about midway but i didn't come for the writing, or should that be that the writing didn't have me cumming?
eh, what's it matter? average rating for average imagination

no anal!!!! what the actual...*exploding head noise*

Honestly, I really liked this game, it was on par with Summer in the City (stands at the top of my list of lesbo games). But unfortunately after the 3rd(?) episode things started to deteriorate, and not in terms of the quality of the renders, but in terms of the story. You just started getting girls thrown at you who are not revealed in any way, in the harem 75% of the girls are just not clear why they were added there, the plot turned to mush, unfortunately.
Honestly, as I write this now, I'm bitter that I've lost someone I liked, but in a playful way. I'm bitter that this game had the potential to be the best lesbo game on the site, but unfortunately it didn't happen.
I'm bitter to give it 2 stars, but my conscience won't let me give it any more.

REVIEW FOR CH 7 VERSION:
I have played the game until and I have to say it's too much too soon.

I have only really been introduced to the characters and there is already conflict. The issue is it didn't feel natural. The pacing is off and I would have liked to at least have the character's relationships develop slower. It felt like the events were just cascading into one another and no plot point was really taking center stage.

The chapters also seem way too short. It's cool to have a couple chapters that are only 10 or so minutes long but I am reached chapter 5 so fast with the plot feeling underdeveloped.

I didn't get to bond with any of the characters so far and that is mainly because they seem to come and go. The other characters are instantly attracted to you from the get go which means there is no challenge to properly develop relationships like games like these would have.

The fanservice also seems too prevalent. Yes there is a time and a place but I'm and there has already been so much. Don't get wrong it's cool to have but I just don't see the story being the forefront of this novel.

I do like that there are some attempts at humor but it's a bit overdone-especially with scenes that are supposed to be serious. And the plot twist really didn't develop. The aftermath seemed too conjoined into the the problem that the transition did not feel natural. At all.

So far I am on the fence with this game. It seems like it at least has potential but bad pacing is really the only major thing holding it back for me.

The game starts good with a correctly sized setting with plot/intrigue/goals/characters. But by "chapter 3" it goes beyond and starts going into the "too much" direction: too much girls, too much plot with little sense (our normal girl of age 23 goes from being an analyst to a superagent who knows kung fu).

In other words, the game has no idea of scope. And it shows, with pacing being bad, characters adding, adding, adding and then the harem is so big you cannot expect it to work even in a fictionnal world.

So it lost me during its story.
Too bad because a lesbian main character with this design was fun to follow in her journey.

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.

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.
They also REALLY need more sex toys and strap-ons where they do doggy, cowgirl and so on since as it is now theres soooo much fingering and licking and squrting that it gets so boring in the long run that you will proberly start fast forwarding sex scenes.

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.
