Ren'Py - Abandoned - Afterglow [Chp.3] [GaussianFracture]

This game had a lot of promise. The writing is competent, the art style is unique, and the storyline isn't "You have a giant penis, everyone wants to fuck you." I also appreciate a good slow burn.

However, the game has no real content right now aside from your teacher, and the Linux build is pretty broken with entire screens just being black, which makes it pretty hard to find the things to click on when you can't see anything.

this is the only game that made me genuinely sad when abandoned, if it didn't by now we would have some lewd content with the MC "landlady"
every once in a while i check in hoping that the dev resume this, and each time i leave with more sadness.

I've played a large amount of games on this site, and this game is severely underrated. First of all, the low ratings come from the dislike of the slow burn story and the admitedly huge delay because the development team had to change from Unity to Renpy. Therefore the updates to this game has been slow.
However i cannot understate how good the models are if they are the type of art style that you prefer, there is a huge selection of mature women in this game, and a few other side girls, to interact with according to your tastes. The main 'landlady' has one of the best developed slow burn storylines, and the build up is realistic and high tension. Along the way, now that the Renpy engine is currently used, there are plenty of side girls with developed storylines to interact with so that there is entertainment whilst waiting for the main storyline.
I am part of the games discord, it has constant interaction and updates from the developers.

Now that the engine change has been finished to Renpy. I expect the long delayed wait was worth it, and the next updates to be amazing, thats why i am giving this game the deserved 5 stars so far based off the content that has been released. However, if the next updates are a disappointment, i will lower it to 4. As these first 3 chapters are good enough to play on its own even if the rest of the game is a disappointment.

I think it's a pretty good game in it's way. I think it could be a four star game if it was polished a bit though. The map is not very good for one. I think that can be fixed though. The art style is good even if the women look a lot alike. The game play mechanics are pretty typical sandbox and maybe a bit more irritating. Basically there is nothing to do except wait for the right time to start the event to move things forward. If you have played sandbox games you'll know what to expect.

My main critiques are aimed at the shrimpy MC. By making him so small it makes it a bit unbelievable that these amazon bodied women would give him the time of day. He looks like a kid rather than a teen and so when the teacher starts breaking it off immediately after they start dating it makes sense because how can you go out with someone who looks like that? He could easily be a foot taller and still look like a young man and it would make the game better. The kid doesn't even come up to his mom's shoulder so it feels kind of silly that any woman would look at him in a romantic way. He does nice things for them and somehow they forget he looks about eight years old. Yeah.

There isn't a ton of content yet so again the game can get worse or better. So far the only real action was with his teacher who got cold feet immediately after starting to date him. In a way it's crappy because you basically get dumped after doing all this stuff which makes it feel like a waste of time. Again I think the dev should rework the MC to be taller so it doesn't feel like every woman will have to deal with the babysitter questions.

A few changes would make this a four star game but three is where it's at for now.

One of the very worst implementations I've seen in possibly forever.
Game map wont work so you can't fix the bike and get past day 1.

And NO, using someone else's save file defeats the purpose and is a deal breaker for me

Edit/update. Restarted the game and got past the firstday bug but almost wish I hadn't. Played 7 hours straight of clicking locations without a single sex scene (other than the small bits from his partial dreams). The Grind is strong on this one.

Love the game till now, Solid writing(it is a little slow but great build up). I like the 'down to earth' approach i.e. - mc is just a normal dude, and not some extremely handsome stud packing a huge cock who was basically a looser virgin up until the game starts (or finds some demonic book/entity) and now gets laid 5 times a day.
There are some issues with the game and also the story(nothing major) but I think it has potential.

Also, love the artstyle. I really hope this one gets completed.

Didn't hate it and the move to Ren'Py is solid and should be commended for this game style. The art is nicely unique as well. Unfortunately the game felt slow and grindy. The game style of 'wake up, repeat same action for multiple days to get any change' in a sandbox'ish world, I got bored long before I got interested in furthering the story or turned on. Not bad, and the render style is great, but the game play badly needs streamlining.

This game has great story with proper build-up and unique art style. Devs had troubles with former coder, but now situation seems to normalize. I wish them the best of luck and looking for next update!

great game lewd and romantic, characters are very well designed and likeable hope for animated scenes in near future. Its a bit slow with the updates but overall i really enjoyed it. The gameplay isnt too confusing however i would like if there was a better guide in game because the current one doesnt alway tell you what to do.

almost 2 years in dev, only 1 sex scene that I could found while the main milf not even a slightl glimpse.
Constant teasing and teasing while they use the excuse that they moved from unity to renpy (which I honestly saw no difference)
If it was done in the first 6 months then it would had been OK but after all these years and still here it might as well get an abandonded tag

I like all the characters. We need more stuff like this on the site and just around in general to be honest. Artsytle is appealing, the dialogue is engaging enough and I like what I got. Granted I wish there was more but I read up that the coder bailed leaving the main guy high and dry. I will monitarily support the creator if I can because I think this game looks good.

Ridiculous teasing and blueballing. This shit will make you reach Nirvana because of how much abstinence it will put you through.

There have been more than two years since the first release of the game, and nothing has happened in it. Except for some bad dreams and more teasing, there has been no progress with any of the characters. More than a slow burn, this game is just stalled.

The art is really good, but it’s just been wasted if nothing happens in the story, and the sandbox is far from the worst, but without a good reward for the player's time, very few people will stay.

If you want to waste your time in a porn game that only teases you, go ahead and try it.

The game is a broken bug, at some point you will hit a black screen and the game will stop there and autosave, I mean you will have to restart the whole thing, just after the date.
There are tons of games that work in unity but this dev blames the engine for this broken mess and also has no rollback again for the same reason.

liked the game, although the update messed up my previous saves, and left a sour taste in my mouth, there are a few glitches here and there but nothing game breaking. my favorite part is the art style. though am not so sure about the story

Starts off slow but I first noticed how hot all the characters are. I am a fan of the art and the style, especially the bit tits and ass which everyone can appreciate. I have a great urge to bone every single female in the game, maybe that is just my personal taste but just take a look at them! Story is very interesting especially the stuff going on with the players mom, this VN is not like many others I was expecting the mother to immediately begin sucking off the MC. But then... she got pissed off, disgusted, and bewildered like any mother would if her son had the hots for her... of course I want her and the son to bang multiple times over and over. But I greatly enjoy that the devs didn't take the easy way out and just had the mother straight out accept it at the start. These are interesting dynamics that you don't see in most games here, there are no easy fucks you'll have to put a bit of time in... but if you look at the art and you're into it I highly recommend checking it out right now. Claims of there not being enough content are false in my opinion, the current version has a good enough of screens of hot babes,,, big boobs... and ass! Of course I expect much much more to come but for the size of the game I have got much much entertainment out of it. But that's not to say there are no problems, the engine (unity?) is very unstable at least at the start for me, which is the most important part of any game. Maybe I made a mistake but when I started maybe I clicked too fast but the game broke 3 times I believe until I was able to get going, other than that the game is stable haven't had any problems after the start of the game. The devs are switching to Ren'Py I believe, yes well that will sort out most of the problems so it would be nice to see that some time soon. Well at the end if you like the previews on page 1 of the thread, I can say you'll like the game very much lots of love going into this game from the devs and it's just getting started... I hope at least.

This game honestly has some great writing and build-up. I've got a lot of patience for it because of that but the neverending game-breaking bugs are taking it out on me. It's not like I can just go back and use a different older save because those are also just as broken. Shame really.

This game has a lot of beauty, but what stands out the most is the art style. Very original renderings and a different interpretation of a tired narrative. Monroe has a lot of talent and this game shows it, I just wish he had released the games a little quicker as his production stopped for a while. With further development, this could be one of the big ones.

Gave up after my 5th soft lock due to bugs. Art style is all this game has, which is unfortunate for a game that's been in (admittedly varying levels of) development for years. Nothing is animated, takes forever for anything interesting to happen, writing is nothing special, and theres plenty of weird logic and dialogue that you would expect but hope not to find in these kinds of games. Hard pass from me.

Gameplay wise: Mediocre borderline garbage, saved by the beautiful art tho

Story wise:
This is one of the best stories I've seen in a porn game. Actual emotional conflict instead of Noooo you're my sister but anyway let's fuck. We've got tension, confession, rejection, angst everything.

Game uses "Unity Analytics of deltaDNA". Offline or blocked in firewall it just refuses to continue at random places.
For this alone I would like to give negative stars.

"Unity has collected device information, like IP address and device identifiers, as well as events completed or actions taken within the game, including level, number of credits, time it took you to earn them, metadata about in-game communications and the value and details of purchases.
