RPGM - Ren'Py - Completed - Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris [1.18 + Ren'py DLC] [Heaven Studios]

I love the art and script, mostly to its cheating or NTR in the game , It has also a lot of content, usually I Don't like RPGM because it focus on fighting and stuff, but this focus on story and sex scenes.

I like freedom in games but not when it comes with a grindy gameplay. This game was never really on my list. I despise cartoonish characters so I never really considered playing this. The banner led me to this conclusion, which was a wrong one.

Ayame feels real to me. She can be a sweet innocent girl or a nymphomaniac. Both roles are written very good and I am pleased to say that this game is one of my favorites. Maybe even my favorite but it doesn't matter. A great game is a great game. And this one certainly is.

Full disclosure, this game branches significantly for certain big decisions, but otherwise it's almost entirely on 'rails'. So many times I thought to myself: Why is there a huge open world? Why am I wasting time running from spot A to B day after day when I'm just following a single scripted line of events? This game makes limited to no use of the RPGM engine, no battles, limited items, limited sense of exploration. This would have been a story better told in Ren'Py.

HOWEVER. There is a great story told here. It's a rare breed, a Western corruption plot from the female MC POV. The biggest strength of this game: the logical progression of the corruption narrative. There are some hiccups where I say "really, she did that?", but overall I can forgive because the female MC overall makes sensible decisions and the corruption comes along gradually and wonderfully. The writing is to the point and brief, and I say that as a good thing.

Good images to compliment the action as well.

Overall this is a great play. But again, just know that you'll have to spend a little additional time navigating the RPGM nature of it.. for no real benefit.

The best corruption game out there! The MC doesn't just turn into a turbo slut instantly which makes this game actually live up to the 'corruption' tag. Also has some of the best 2D art out of any game I've seen on this site.

I honestly didn't like Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris too much, but I can understand those who like it as well. Generally, I like when I have a choice, several paths to progress on and where I choose to either play a strong independent character or if I'd rather like to play a weak character. This game ends if you choose the first and leads to linear paths if you choose the latter.

The writing in the game is pretty good, and so is the CGI. However, the game is rather slow paced, loads of text which at times also just seems over the top.

Now, the main gripe I have with the story is the lack of choice. Now, some may say that you do have a choice. Well, in a sense you do. You initially start out by working at a restaurant with the manager harassing you. Here you can choose to stand up for yourself. You can make Ayame into this brave woman who knows what that old pig is up to. It's actually quite awesome to play like that and I was quite thrilled about it. Unfortunately it turned out that this path simply just let to the good ending in no time.

But it quickly turns out that you basically have 4 or so paths to go down on. These paths are very linear - like think train rails or something like that. Especially the family line is extremely linear and its basically just a porn turned into a game. You have minimal control of what you want to do and when.

Basically, the initial upstanding character is turned into what is probably the dumbest girl you've ever met. That just turned the game frustrating to me.

So:
The good

1. Good CGI
2. Well written
3. Various branches to go through

The bad

1. Extremely linear, few choices aside from the initial branch choice.
2. Too much text
3. A lack of choice sometimes means that the scenes are extremely long to the point where you basically watch a porn but just in a game instead.
4. Traveling around the town is extremely slow.

Had this game had a mixture of you trying to withstand the pressure from various characters while also the choice be coerced etc, then it would've been better.

incredible game with good scenes and story with several endings where in most of the paths include elements of blackmail NTR and mind break is in my top 3 games in the forum I have a crush on Miss Sawada.

If you are just looking for a quick fap then this game isn't for you. It's a game about corruption of a pure and somewhat naive girl, and that is the main focus of the game. Having her go full slut within 5 minutes wouldn't make for a very interesting game with that premise. So yeah, it takes some time until the story starts to unfold.

If you don't like NTR then you should skip this game as well I guess. I mean you CAN go down the route where she stays true to her future hubby, but the game basically lives from her being led astray from that path.

Is it the best story ever written? Nah, but it serves its purpose well enough. For the most part it is consistent, and I've definitely come across way worse.

It's also refreshing to see a creator actually using handdrawn characters and not relying on the same 10 3d-models with minor adjustments like 80% of the games here. There's actual effort put in this game. I also dig the artstyle, but that is just personal preference.

But not all is rainbows and unicorns.

Traveling around the city can get tedious over time, especially when you keep traveling the same route again and again. I'd suggest to either implement a way for point-to-point quicktravel that actually deserves the moniker (the bus/subway system is IMHO still tedious, and you have to get there first) or to sprinkle in some random events.

There are multiple routes one can follow in the beginning, but at some point, dependent on how far you progress in each route, they become exclusive and you get railroaded into the development of that route. For me that is neither a pro nor a con, that's just the way the game is designed. However, finishing a specific route can also become somewhat tedious as you usually follow the same steps for the most part
1) Go to work/place (literally walk)
2) Do stuff
3) Go home
4) goto 1

A minor gripe I have is the world building. For whatever reason the world this takes place is ours except it isn't. The game clearly is meant to take place in LA, but it doesn't, its in "Freedom city" (I think). And the heroine is clearly meant to be japanese, but she isn't, she's from some made up country that sounds very japanese. I'm not sure why, but to me that makes no sense. As I said, a minor gripe, but I just find it silly.

The biggest issue I have, however, is that I don't think that this game really needes to be a RPGM-game. You could convert this into a Ren'py game with very little effort and without loosing anything except maybe that one minigame, but that is something I can live with. The map only stretches the game time, but it doesn't actually add anything relevant to the game.

But overall it's definitely one of the better games, and for all its shortcomings it kind of grew on me.

This has to be one of the worst paced games I've seen on this site. I'm in shock at all the positive reviews because I was bored out of my mind playing through the intro. I think in an hour I've seen 2 pictures of content.

Pacing 1/10 - slow, painfully slow. I expect a person to need over a dozen hours of gameplay here to unlock a respectable amount of content. Other games find a way to get this done in under an hour. I've spent over 80% of my game time walking between the characters home and places in town. That's not how I want to spend my time in this kind of game.

Art 5/10 - mediocre. It's not bad, but it's not especially good.

Replayability 1/10 - not because of the story value of replaying it, because I DON'T WANT TO. This game is so slow and boring that I'd never subject myself to another 10-20 hours of it.

Playthrough Value 1/10 - can I get everything in a single playthrough? No. That's a huge strike for me. I don't care about realism, think of the players time. That's more valuable than forcibly subjecting a person to the same shit over and over.

Story - I don't care. I'm not giving it a rating because that's not what I'm here for. The characters seem interesting but I don't play these games for their award winning writing.

That's it honestly. I wish I had more to say but my only takeaway here has been boredom. If you scaled the city down by 80%, cut the writing in half, and gave the player a sense of agency early on, I wouldn't hate this game. But I do, oh god do I ever.

This is a really ambitious game with a huge map that has a widescale potential. The reason, however, I hesitate to give it 5 stars is because it stops short at delivering on that potential. And instead we are given a bland NTR story with not much freedom on whatever route the player chooses. The impressive option to explore the entire city ends up not being that relevant to the main story. That is not to say the game is not entertaining. I had a lot of fun with it; especially if you're into the trope of an inexperienced woman getting sexually corrupted, you'll likely enjoy it too.

This is a very simple game: there are no battles and you can only travel and explore the city, progressing the story. There are different routes, some of them will be locked based on your choices and be very restrictive, but you can can progress some of them together, until some heavy story choices that will lead you to an ending. The city to explore is huge, but in the last patch they locked it up a bit, to help new players: new areas will now open progressing the story, so players will not lose themself exploring.
That said many encounters in the free roam section are still in developing, and will be added after the main story conclusion.

Art and writing are really good, one of the best around in my opinion. CGs are unique ( only 2 scenes in secondary events are re-used), and the game has almost 200 different CGs at the moment. The story is simple, but every route has some unexpected events that will make you replay the game to experience them all. Characters are well portrayed (MC is quite naive, but that's a common trait in these games) and will surely charm you.

This has to be the most complete experience for an NTR game of this style, and I have played many of those. Let me tell you, if you're into this type of shit, you're gonna love it, it's pretty straightforward to get most of the scenes and the main routes. The map feels complicated at first so if that is a problem to you, you can always grab the teleportation ring at the Reminiscing Room, makes traveling to your workplaces a lot faster.

As for the scenes themselves, they are all fantastic, none of them are reutilized and that is a gigantic plus on my books since there are so many already, and there are still more coming in the future so that's insane.

So, quality scenes? Check. Decent NTR story? Check. Quantity of scenes? Check. That's really all you need for these type of H games honestly. 5/5

One of the best NTR games out there. Despite the slowish updates, the devs actually deliver what they promise. Very creative with interesting paths, wich for a NTR fan is a breath of fresh air. Its a must play!

__________________________

• May be too slow-paced for some.
• Minor story inconsistencies.

Consensus: A fun game with a lot of places to visit, characters to meet, and people to bang. Doesn't offer anything outside the tags, so you know what you'll be getting into.

Very good game. Worldbuilding, story&character development and art design are all great.

It might lack more content on the sister's storyline, and also with the patient she attends to at the hospital. But overall, it's a 5-star game.

This game is fucking terrible, but I still recommend you try and play it. You might like it. You might be more patient than me, but I cannot tolerate 45 minutes of mundane conversations.

Here is the walk through: http://hrpgheaven.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=3830 , have it ready, you're gonna need it. Oh, and the fucking maps. There's a folder in the main directory with giant fucking maps in it, they expect you to alt tab to look at that fucking map constantly, lol.

Story & writing - 1/5 - Extremely boring. The game starts with the most mundane conversations imaginable, like typical, everyday casual life stuff, boring as hell. Imagine a boring conversation between a couple, now imagine sitting through that over & over. I don't mind a little bit of setup, but my god it's so boring.

CGS - 4/5 - The CG's LOOK GREAT! Too bad unlocking all the content is too difficult and complex.

Porn NTR - 1/5 - After 45 minutes of game play of just going to work, she ends up acting like a total prude. I only had one dialogue choice to let her get groped by the pub boss. After that all the decisions were gone and she just turned into a prude.

Walkthrough - 1/5 - The walk through is complicated as hell. Any game that forces you to constantly alt tab to a walk through has fucking failed. The game has a quest system, but it doesn't give you guidance on where to go for side quests.

MAP SIZE: -5/5 - The map is too fucking big.

After 45 minutes the game is slow, boring, shit. The CG's look good, but who knows how the fuck to unlock those CG's. The walk through has like 10 different routes. We should just be able to experience all the NTR ones with the quest system guiding you where to go, but developers can't understand this basic fucking concept.

SIMPLE CONCEPT: If player wants NTR, guide them on the NTR path with the quest system. If they don't want NTR, guide them on the non NTR path.

I tried exploring around a bit,but all the npcs just say stupid shit.

The game world is too fucking big. He needs to shrink the entire map by 10 times.

To make everything worse, the game works on a complicated day system, where you have to do X before Day X in order to get Y, but with condition Z.... jesus fucking christ.

The game had the right idea with the quest system, but they need to make a quests for ALL the content in the game.

So now the game wants Ayame to get a new job? wtf? ... It's been 45 minutes, where's the porn content? lol

This game have some of the best 2D art ever in a game. Way ahead of its time, and competing with the top of the 2D games out there imo. The story is great, and the writing is really good and fun. Can recommend to try it out!

It is a nice game. Overall similiar to stories from japanese adult videos. But not more.

Even less. Most of the time the sex scenes are blocked by a 2 blue text areas. One for the name and one for the story. Sometimes, but only very short it is transparent. So my question is, why not always transparent? Pressing Q removes it and shows only the picture, but hides also the text, so you can't proceed.
There are nearly no animation and if there is animation it is so short and stops faster as you can look.

For me it is not clear why I can't start the route with the neighbours, why it stops the other routes. But Sato and Melvin together are possible.

I have problems with the time management.
1. for example Sato and Melvin are in the same timeframe. It makes no sense that you do Sato for 2 weeks and go back to Melvin and it is like you where never gone several days. With more timeframes it could have been better done without colliding.
I mean why it is not possible to work and weekends or in the evening? Or enter the Gym from 6am till 12pm?
2. At the weekend and later in the evening, there is nothing to do. It is not possible to visit college as she suggested or use the library or Gym or getting the driver license. And I see no reason why.
3. What time do we have? In the park you get told that you could get at 11pm to meet someone in the toilets, but it is not possible. There is nobody. How do do I get 11pm?
4. Which day do we have? You can get it from you equipment. Which is in my opinion far to many windows to open just for getting the information what day we have.

The game is sometimes not helpful to find locations. I could not find 7/11 for a long time. Only with the teleport ring I got there. And it helps also not to find free roaming quests.

The adult streaming would have been better if she used a mask. Typical Clark Kent / Superman problem.

Often it is not possible to save the game before an event starts. Sometimes an event starts directly after another event. I think this is one reason why most prefer Ren'py for a game.

The blackmails are very weak. Especially with her twin-sister around and knowing that Sato and her are assholes. It would have been better she didn't met her at the beginning. Same with wallet in the locker. There is no proof she ever touched it and those lockers are normally not very safe. Also did Melvin this not the first time. So he can't be save anymore that some of the previous waitresses would not talk if she try to find them. Ok, let her be very naive, she should be easy to get. These are 08/15 JAV stories.

To other players: Try the game and if it get boring do the same you maybe would do with not-subtilted-JAV. Forward to the interesting parts with the hidden room.

played 0.94. Just play it, if your waiting for it to be completed, just dont wait, go ahead and dive in.

its more COMPLETE game than i expected. Moderate amount of path has ENDING already. and its satisfying.

NO REPEAT CG. i'm so suprize at the NO REPEAT part. Plenty of expression variation during CG.

well written MULTIPATH script. (NTR, loyal, corruption, your choice)

The music is SICK in the scene collection room. Sooo good.

probably one of the best game iv played so far with a lot of content and great art! the route iv prefer for the moment is with Jack the Sato and garcia follow just behind. The one iv not enjoy played was the melvin route due to is look (Fat, old and ugly) the infernal combo for me

I consider this one of the golden RPGM games. The options and paths will take you quite a bit of time to explore and are the core of the game.

That being said - without a walkthrough it is a bit hard to shape her exactly how you want because it locks her into "paths" that seem to exclude all others. I also wouldn't mind a teleporter of sorts for her work commutes considering you have to memorize locations and the map is huge.

Gameplay - 8/10 (without the sea of choices it would be 5/10)
Art/Scenes - 9/10
Future Promise N/A it is pretty much finished
(I consider an average game 5/10)
