VN - Ren'Py - Ajestremia [v1.0] [Maidz]

Amazingly well done art, going in I didn't know how much I would like the art until now, seriously great job, the story was a little hard to follow though, and the dialogue confused me a little but besides that the game was great, and a lot of content on the first release, keep it up

A very cute game. The artstyle took some time to grow on me. It must have been the characters' proportions, but I wasn't a fan initially, even if I'm glad to see a more unique artstyle when most VNs nowadays look like carbon copies of each other.

My only complaint is that the romance takes quite a while to really kick off. It's obvious from the start that the main characters have the hots for each other, but the beginning of the story kind of drags on. There's a strange choice of sound effects during dialogue, that sometimes emphasizes the wrong sentences, like that wierd hit sound when characters talk from time to time. There's also a very brief gameplay sequence thrown in there, where the game tries to be an RPG-like turn-based combat system, but in my opinion, it's very unecessary and pretty worthless. I think the dev should rather remove it and focus exclusively on the romance in a traditional VN format.

But once you get to the sequence in the tavern, it's really good until the very end. I really like Mouton and Ours, and the theme the story conveys through them, like "You only make bad decisions in life once you stop endorsing them", and "don't dwell on the past, be happy with what you have and what you experienced in life". From that point on, the romance between Ajestremia and the MC becomes pretty sweet, and you can really feel the passion between these two characters. It's short-lived, and would have benefitted from a longer duration to flesh things out even more, but it's credible and it works. And the sex scene is really well-drawn, managing to be both cute and alluring at the same time.

Give it a shot, it's short, but it's good.
