VN - Ren'Py - Aihvala [v0.5] [MaterTuaGames]

Superb. Love the model of the mom. One of the better games around now. Hope it reaches a proper conclusion and not get abandoned and put on hold like most other games on this website. Amount of content is good for now. Dev can also try and explore further in the netorare, could be suitable for the game.

Lot of spelling mistakes and generally poor english (but you can easily tell what the dev is trying to convey). Not a super serious AVN, yet somehow it works. Characters are pretty well done, and there is a somewhat of a story (but not centered around it, at least so far)

Would play

[v0.5]
Good wish-fulfillment story with porn logic cranked to 9 at times.
Nice custom models.
Variety of body types.
Light-hearted story.
No sound, SFXes, game is pretty short, 2-3H at most.
Gameplay-wise, 2 distinct paths, dom and cuck.
Will gladly recheck it after a while.

PROS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Models look fine, not bad looking and proportions are decent. Characters look their ages also, in as much that you can tell the older, mature and young apart.
2. Writing is structured and reads well enough.
3. Animations are good, AI CG from the looks, not that its an issue, though they often short.
4. World interaction is not bad, the icons are easy to see and self explanatory which is good.
5. Some audio which is good, but very limited.
6. Nice kinks, many from the tags and fine during the gameplay.

CONS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Visuals are not really good, renders are grainy and low quality in many scenes.
2. Short H-scenes in that they have no angles, no different options or choices.
3. Per choices point, the choices in the game don't really amount to much, often just locking you out of lewd content.
4. Audio is very much lacking and make little sense, a sex scene would start with some audio for 2 slides then nothing for the entire of rest scene.
5. Plot has been done countless times before, but here it feels like zero attempt was made to keep it interesting or even put a slightly different spin on it.
6. Dialogue is often silly and nonsensical, almost like watching and reading a dialogue of impulsive children, in this case just mostly impulsive perverts.
7. Scenes and situations make little sense, and often are just made to fuel the perversions see comments below.
8. Not really much content, especially for an AVN that came out a year and a half ago.

OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't)

• The developer focuses or drives the lewd and perverted scenes in very direct and tactless ways that make no sense logically thus you end up with porn logical scenes, like the little sister running around showing her vag off or the MCs mother sitting naked in the cart with him yet his shirt is too small for her? Rubbish, its too blatant/deliberate in its perversion making it stupid. Another scene is the brothers girlfriend, she easily without reservation pulls the MC in to screw her to teach his brother her boyfriend a lesson then also wants the MC to knock her up...no big deal.
• Regarding the above point, I love the perverted stuff also, but sometimes a bit more finesse and effort to put together the scenes makes for much better result, this sadly cannot be said about this AVN.
• Regarding kinks, while there are many tags, I hope the dev makes them worthwhile like pregnancy shouldnt just be a scene followed by "knocked up" or something simple, the knocked up character should start showing and actually look pregnant also. Same with other kinks, they should be plenty in various situations, one event/scene of a kink is not good enough.

TLDR:

Porn logic fantasy setting AVN that has little logical flow and events, but makes up for some of that with kinky situations. Visually its not bad looking but really not good either. This is mediocre at best and really nowhere near 4 and definetly not 5 stars.

Ahvila is an excellent +18 game with polished visuals and engaging gameplay. The experience feels confident and fun, and I hope the developer keeps expanding content, especially with the blonde girl
good stuff

more!!!! i was so sad when this version ended. not sure why some of the imagine images were not showing either but overall a great start to a game. definitely wanna bang mom and sis. when can we expect to see more?

The only good thing about this game is the CG renders/characters.

Writing is shallow on about every scene, dialogues are short and uninteresting, does it go for full NTR? Harem? who knows, choices doesn't matter much.

I thought my headphones broke but there were just no sounds up until the very last part (as of 0.4). The silence is deafening.

I don't know where all the glazing is coming from but this is bad even by the new releases/Early Access standards. You're better off to sit on the game for a few months (maybe a year, based on last updated) and not get baited by the preview images like me.

There is a missing image error every few minutes playing this game. I'd probably give it 4 stars without this as it's a good game overall. Good story, characters, scenes. The errors are just so annoying though as I keep missing out on content.

Good medieval setting, pretty common of a setting but the characters are attractive in their own ways and diverse in the niche they provide, milf, the gilf, brother's girlfriend, slutty blonde, etc, I didn't go for the little sister because I'm not into loli characters and I am thrilled the author didn't force a romantic relationship.

The problems with this game are the grammar, the overall English, and the absolute rush of a plot that lowered a star. You go from meeting all these characters in the village, culminating in a festival. The game moves well, and then raiders attack. You turn out to be the bastard son of the king, and you suddenly are in a castle. There definitely needed to be more between the points of the story; it's like we went from Point A to Point D, missing points B and C on the way. I also didn't appreciate that we couldn't save more people from the village, they might still be alive and in the village still, I don't know, we got rushed to a castle with no payoff there.

It's an alright game, but it is VERY obvious that English is not the author's first language, and the plot is very very very rushed. Slow down, you can advance the main plot slowly and focus more on character moments to make a better story, I was enjoying the village part until the story got rushed.

Worth a try, especially the medival age setting and the characters are arousing so is the story devlopment. Experience the taboo and thrill of being the prince or king.
You can be the alpha or the beta in the game depends on your own choices, still not much to offer. Its at development stage hope gets updated soon

medieval milfs , Giilfs and their long dresses with Huge cleavages.

Aihvala is RIGHT on my interests but it's very early in dev.
The renders are good, The writingh especially repeated use of ZFroiend is a bit weird and coinfusing hope the dev Proof read their script.
The great thing about this AVN is the situations it create for the interaction.

There is much left to be done, But the game excels at focusing on its competency, but keeping enough variety in settings and girls so that it doesn't become stale.
The future stuff that neded improvemnets require BGM, more clean Female Models , that are not of older generationa dn agian wonky writing that need proof read.

Overall I enjoyed my time
Will recommend for all who come here to it as a sandbox game.
Overall 3.8/5

(Review as of v0.4)

Overall comments:

Decent potential so far. Good character models, a promising plot (albeit there is not much to the plot in the current version), and I love the whole premise of the medieval setting in which the game takes place in.

The overall harem vibes I'm getting from the game are quite nice, to say the least. I just wish there was more content to advance the plot further as not much of the overarching story has been revealed just yet. Hence, content wise there is not a whole lot in the game for the current version (i.e., v0.4).

Regardless, the plot, character development, and setting of the game is quite good. I'm interested in seeing future updates and where the story will progress from here on out, and how the MC will grow his harem as well.

This game has tremendous potential!
Not much content atm but if some serious work is put into it, I can see this becoming one of the greater games on here.
It cateres to many fetishes that can be avoided if you don't want to engage in that and I am really exited to see where the story goes from here. A game where you want to read the story is kinda rare so please keep this gem going.

The world needs more game like this, the graphics are not good as the top 5 games, but they are good enough to be one of the top games in the future. About the story... well is captivating. The characters and how they were made(the models) are good, the decitions you could make, have an impact in the outcome. It's a good game, not the best but with the potential to be one of them.

Version 0.4

Early version is fairly short but has a lot of potential

• Good natural models
  • Big, small and medium curves
  • Old, young and in between
    • Might not be for everyone but scenes are optional
  • Hairy and non-hairy versions, but hairy seems the way to go
  • Nice expressions
• Pretty decent animations
  • Most sexual content has some animation
  • However, almost half of pure sexual content is extra and non-story relevant, kept in a Patreon exclusive version(but this isn't mentioned at the beginning of the game(and probably should be) so most players think the game is broken or missing content)
    • But there is still plenty of sexual content in the regular version(so far)
• Writing is fine
  • But there are frequent errors where the wrong character name is displayed over the text box
• UI and interactivity
  • Neither bad nor good, but the UI is simple and effective, there are occasional clicking quick time event minigames that work fine
    • There are 'travel' sections where one has a background and must find the appropriate characters or doorways to progress, but can not necessarily intuitively tell which are optional and which will progress the story. Though this can be easily solved on the player's end by reloads.

Overall I think its pretty good for what it is, story moves at a fast pace and regularly provides sexual content without completely ignoring narrative. Fairly short for now but has lots of potential and dev promises comparatively frequent updates, just hope they don't overextend with all the planned tags and setting, where too many characters, diverging storylines, or catering to too many genres will detract from the central content.

Looking forward to more, hope for all the best in the continuation of Aihvala!

A lot of promise here. I'm a sucker for a good upskirt. The writing is reasonably good, and I like the character designs for the ladies. The only quibble I have at the moment is that there are some capitalization errors in the text, which isn't really that bothersome. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop.

(Review of v0.4)

This could be the beginning of a nice story but it requires some polishing, starting with the writing as it is too rough to be called just decent. The models are OK but look weird from certain angles, for instance that first time the woman at your house bends over.

The story is also a bit sketchy at this early stage, it feels like everything happens too fast. Some music would also help making the game more enjoyable.

I wish the developer good luck!

I try to review (or even play) games too early in their dev cycle. But this one (v0.4) deserves a shout-out. It is fantastic! Slightly linear (but with enough choice to be called a 'game', even if choices are just 'see content or don't'). The graphics aren't AAA but they are really hot and fitting for what they want to be. The content pushes the edges of taboo and doesn't try to sugar-coat things (old people are old, unpleasant things are unpleasant) which is incredibly refreshing. And yet it feels 'chill' and none-stressful - like you can just have fun and be bad (or good) and enjoy the journey. I can't wait to see more.

Fantastic models, very reasonable amount of dialogue!
Love the variety, and the peach fuzz was a great detail. I'm looking forward to the rest of the game, especially because I'm not falling asleep skipping hours of pointless, poorly written test.

Not bad. Some typos here and there but those can be fixed. Also, there are some instances of it labeling the MC as Catherine, probably a typo of a variable in the code or something. But it's easily readable and understandable and it seems like if there is a tag you don't like it will be avoidable which is always appreciated. The story and lewd content is fun so far. I will be keeping my eye on this one's development and i wish the dev the best of luck in designing and making his game.
