VN - Ren'Py - Aihvala [v0.3 Prologue Final] [MaterTuaGames]

Review for v0.3
Well this was not the best game experience I had. I feel like this is kinda your typical eye-candy game without much depth. Immediately, you start of with a cliché scene where one of the LI's flashes her private parts on accident. Not because something interesting or exciting happened, no just because she was wearing an extremely short dress (which does not make sense for the medieval period of time). Yeah... not the most original of events.

As expected after this scene, the romances are not really great. All love interests like the MC for no reason, they just do. Some even have sex with him in broad daylight while being at work the first time we get introduced to them. There are no wholesome or complex romances developing unfortunately.

Also the dialogue doesnt flow very well. The word 'Friend' is just used way too much. In some conversations it feels like the word is used in every sentence, it honestly kinda disrupts the flow of the conversation and is a bit annoying actually.

As for the overlapping story, its pretty non-existant. You spend the whole time just meeting people and f*cking/groping them straight away and then all of a sudden at the end 'You are to be king'??? There is no build up to this moment, its feels so all over the place. Like what is the background of the MC, does he have any special capabilities which makes us curious if the MC is more than a mere commonner. No.. just nothing. So you find yourself not really caring about why the MC is to be king, there is just so much information missing.

Then the visuals, sometime this could salvage the lack of depth in story and romance. But honestly in this game it doesn't really. The graphics in general are maybe even below average. One plus is that the animations are quite smooth. so I guess thats that. I doubted if I could give the game 2 stars for the animations, but I do not think that this game has enough to be more than a one star for now.

v0.3

Wonderful game so far!

The story is interesting and immersive, with a perfect pace.
Fine-looking girls.
Lots of incest - mom isn't shy, and the little sister is naughty.

I recommend playing this game together with "Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Music of Landscapes and Atmospheres."

This is a great game. The story quite interesting.

Graphics:
The models are gorgeous, and the environments are nice as well. For me 8/10

Animations:
The animation is smoothFor me 8/10

Story:
The story is good For me 10/10

Characters:
Characters are beautiful For me 8/10

Overall 8.5/10 For me
Aihvala is a game worth playing in my opinion.

Overall nice character, a lot of potential MILFS, new settings in medieval era not some modern suburb family cliche, nice prologue, can't wait for further story to unfold, I'm intrigued whether it will be revenging story or the MC will take refugee on the other town.

Great start for the game in my opinion, i liked a lot about the choice of theme and the graphics over all, very unique story-line so far, really looking forward for more of this one in the future!!!!!

Okay having played through the "Prologue" I will stay with my original statement, I made when the game first came out, "the game has potential". I still believe it, however the "pay to win" patches aren't necessary I understand it from a marketing view point, to get people to join your Patreon, but I think you are going about it the wrong way, "the imagination scene's" would do better off in the base game, so you would only need to do one patch instead of two, then you could start putting in some of the "Tags" you mentioned in the game, to use /advertise for your game and slowly put some in the game one at a time. instead of the "the imagination scene's". Because the only thing that I can think of at this point in time, that could hurt the game more, is not coming through with some of the "Tags" you said you'd put in the game. Other than that hopefully the game will stick around, looking forward to seeing what else in store and I am currently waiting for your Subscribestar page to finalize, so I can support you on your journey Take care everyone ^_^

This story is innovative, the character conflicts are handled very well, and the plot is also very beautiful. I really like it and hope future updates will be released more quickly.
I like stories like this that involve the whole family. I like GILK; it's a very good game. I hope it continues to be updated and that the updates come out a bit faster.

Review for v0.2

It's a little early for a real review, but I fell about right in the middle with how I feel about this so far. It's not awful but it didn't it really capture me either. I think the game feels a little more on the porn-y side so far and that's typically a negative for me, but it also doesn't feel like some fuckfesty mess at the same time. Very split opinions here.

Like the overview pokes fun at, the game so far really is pretty standard for these types of fantasy AVNs. Couple hints at things getting deeper and potential twists, but right now not much sticks out. I kind of feel that way about most aspects of this really.

The renders themselves are on the lower quality side, but I do like the environments. Characters are hit or miss in regards to their models for me. I avoided the little sister and old lady, the two village girls are a little bland, but the mom/milf is pretty hot. I can't say anyone was very memorable personality wise, but at least the MC doesn't feel like the village idiot. No sound whatsoever, but it had surprisingly decent animations.

Honestly just too early to say much more though. It seems like the dev has a lot of plans and directions they want to take this, so time will tell if that ends up going in a more positive direction for me. I wouldn't say to avoid this game, but I would recommended letting a few more updates roll out to see where this goes.

Review for [v0.2 Prologue P2]
Honestly, for the scope of the project, it's pretty damn good. As long as your expectations are accurate for what's being delivered, you should absolutely enjoy your experience (for the current build at least)

Visually, it's not the best, but honestly for the scope I didn't expect it to be? It looks good, and good is what's desired, and honestly for F95 and AVN's in general that's an accomplishment. Lighting is natural, water glistens are good, models are hot, the hair isn't atrocious (both up and down).

Storywise there's very little build-up, but I think the does a good job doing a decent porn setup. What they've done smartly is set up each woman with a correlating supporting character (some aren't currently shown I imagine, such as your not-sister's friends. It not only makes the game world larger, but justifies conversations with them AND their individual motivations. This means that even with limited set-up and backstory, we understand their place in the world, as well as the role they serve. They may be immediately horny, but they're known to the character beforehand and aren't just blowup dolls like some games.

I hope there's actually an evolving story in the game, I'd like to see the not-sister's friend group and more of the village to flesh it out, because I've seen some AVN's that start off well then absolutely bloat out from scope creep and dev's eyes being bigger than their mouths. Either way, great work!

It's a very exciting game:

Pro:

I love the models. Finally older women who actually look more mature. In many games (or films) you can't tell the difference between daughter and mother, but here you can't.

The game is still at a very early stage, but it looks very promising.

Cons:
The mini-game is too difficult and a bit nerdy in my opinion.

I loved the so far.
Great to have a Milf who looks like one and the interactions were very good.
It's remarkable that you decided to make a hairy version too and the setting is pretty amazing too.
I hope that you can continue updating this game till completion.

This one somehow slipped past me when it first came out But I found it now and really enjoyed it. Visuals and story tell are both good, the scene at the start with, um.. landlady? Was really good, love when games go straight into flirting. I think this game is one to watch.

the game itself is good the plot seems to be normal the world is cool the game itself is about mom and son I liked the game I'm waiting for the next version from you I liked that you made 2 versions of the intimate part good luck with the game

Aihvala [v0.1 prologue P1]

Played the hairy version, wish some girls got hairy armpit too.

This build is short but I enjoyed it. But there's nothing fresh so far. In this build it's only MC who gets action that's a plus for me.

Good

+ Hairy ( hoping to see hairy armpits in the future. We don't have many hairy games here )
+ Mom's a good milf
+ Dana is pretty to even though she is a basic model

Neutral

* Renders
* Fetishes [ some fetishes are upto my liking but some are not. I'm not a big fan of NTR, bestiality( centaur well I don't mind if it's centaur girls )these kind of fetishes. But I do love to see Netori : MC stealing others girls. From the looks of it there will be netori too. Good thing about the game so everything is avoidable So if there is NTR in the future. I think it will depend on the player's decision. That's a good thing. ]

Bad

- brother's wife model is too basic
- Annoying mini game it's too fast you need to win that mini game to get a scene with Dana ( I do win the game by roll backing then hitting the target -> save -> load the save -> placed the pointer on the area where target next appears then click and hit the target -> repeated the whole process. I don't mind mini games but this one's too fast )
- planned sandbox and rpg ( mini game present in this build is annoying. So please don't add sandbox and rpg. If possible make it a simple VN )

Main reason I enjoyed the game is because I played the hairy version. Mom is pretty sexy too. Enjoyed the scene with GILF too. If possible please add hairy armpit for some girls too.

Three star for now cause it's too early to judge and content is shorter. Will change its rating according to future updates
