RPGM - Ren'Py - Completed - Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris [v1.0.5 Renpy] [Heaven Studios]

Absolutely not for me.

I hate visual novels as they are just glorified enter button clickers, and this one is honestly no exception except for the fact that you also have to use your mouse to click on the map. Which wouldn't really be THAT bad if the map backgrounds weren't AI GENERATED. The use of AI generated "artwork" should NOT exist in a 7 GB game even if it's something small like a map background, or a button. Shit, when was this posted, 2016? And in this EIGHT years, NOBODY bothered to draw up some quick map backgrounds? You can use the "indie studio with low staff count" excuse all you want... until you see every indie game that made it without using AI generated trash.

The artist has absolutely no idea how to draw skinny men, or well, just non muscular men in general. The faces are all completely fine, but the arms are just... not working out. Of course nobody comes here to look at men, but I have to look at them when I spend 20 minutes reading dialogue. I haven't gotten too far into the story before uninstalling, but so far only the women looked good in terms of art. I mean, shit, look at fucking Melvin. The guy's eyes look absolutely fucking soulless, it's not even like an "evil vibe", it's just like they ripped out the eyeballs from Rick and Morty. And did he seriously have to have such a massive beer belly? I mean I have nothing against old, balding fat guys, but Melvin's design completely misses the mark. It's like they wanted to make him grotesque, but decided not to halfway. It doesn't work. And then there's Robert. CIA agent? He looks like a pansy. I mean, you could've added like a scar on his face or something, and that would have fixed his design, but nope, he looks like a pussy.

The story feels restrictive. I can't go to the west side because Ayame will get lost? She's 23 and has a phone. Just fucking use google maps or some shit. The writing in the story is not that great. A lot of lines feel forced and slightly unnatural. And some situations are just completely wank. Like that celeb couple revealing their swinging tendencies, on the second time we meet. It was... a moment that I had to spend a bit processing, because it was cringe. The characters are all detestable as well. Robert's son is a fucking weirdo, Sato is a fucking weirdo, and Marvin is a fucking weirdo. That bartendender guy is a fucking shill as well. So yeah, GG, 30 minutes into the game and I do not like any of the characters. Oh and for the record, Ayame is like, 5/10 MAX.

SEVEN gigabytes. SEVEN.

i don't understand how could anyone give this game rating below a 5 star, the art is pretty hot and female MC is sexy Asf and there are so many routes to play with, although one can play a route at the time, well this seems like a cons to me but meanwhile it also offer the story to be focused on only one direction at a time, so it's not a big deal, and those route have been developed very well, even though this is a hentai game but i love the scenario and the emotions of character develop while we play through.they somehow feel real and logical, i still haven't finished the full game but i played like 4 routes and they all were superb.

Very hot characters lured me in, but in the end, you're playing as a female MC so it gets boring very fast. Most scenes are of the same girl with no animation either (no, two stagnant scenes alternating back & forth is not animation).
The "choices" are really not choices - if you don't want to be a ho, the game dies a few hours in when you can progress to another event due to lack of corruption points. Might as well be a linear novel at this point.
The organization of the quests is also bizarre and requires a lot of saving. In the end, I couldn't even endure finishing it.

. Back then, I found myself slogging through long stretches of monotonous gameplay, hoping the payoff would justify the effort. Unfortunately, it never did. Fast forward to 2023, and despite its longevity and the developers’ pride in its scale, the game remains as tedious and uninspired as it felt back then.

To be fair, Fleeting Iris does have its merits. The artwork is genuinely good—competent and appealing, though far from groundbreaking. The sexual content is decent, leaning toward the vanilla side but still enjoyable for what it is. However, the game's core systems, particularly its much-touted corruption mechanics, leave much to be desired. While the corruption system exists, it feels superficial and lacks the depth or creativity needed to make it engaging. What’s more, the sheer amount of busywork required to unlock specific scenes—navigating back and forth across the map, meeting arbitrary stat thresholds at precise moments—renders the entire experience unnecessarily cumbersome.
The game’s self-proclaimed status as "the largest hentai game ever" might hold water in terms of raw content, but its substance doesn’t live up to its scope. The phrase “as wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle” fits perfectly here. While there are plenty of routes to explore, only a handful feel remotely fleshed out, with satisfying conclusions being the exception rather than the rule. The rest feel like underdeveloped tangents that fail to reward the time invested in them.
Comparing Fleeting Iris to newer games within the genre highlights its shortcomings even further. Take, for example, the upcoming game MY, which embraces similar themes and tropes while utilizing the same RPG Maker framework. Even in its demo stage, MY offers a far more dynamic and engaging experience. Features like multiple outfit choices, diverse seduction paths, easily accessible H-scenes that enrich the world, and thoughtfully designed systems such as mental health and meaningful corruption mechanics demonstrate how much the genre has evolved. It’s a stark contrast to Fleeting Iris, which feels stagnant and out of touch with modern expectations.
Perhaps the most glaring issue with Fleeting Iris is how little it respects the player's time. If this game had been released a decade ago, its flaws might have been easier to overlook. But as the hentai gaming scene has matured and raised its standards, the lack of innovation in Fleeting Iris becomes increasingly evident. The game’s long development cycle seems to have resulted in more content without addressing its core issues, leaving players to wonder if the payoff is truly worth the effort.
In the end, Fleeting Iris is a relic of a bygone era—functional but uninspired, bloated with content yet shallow in execution. While it might still appeal to some for its art and sheer size, it fails to stand out in a market that continues to push boundaries. I sincerely hope Heaven Studios takes these lessons to heart in their future projects and delivers a game that not only captures players’ attention but also respects their time and investment.

I am writing this review after playing the version of 1.0.5 renpy.

Surely, there are lots of contents where a girl going to marry a man is having sex with the other men in various events of the city. If you like a series of quick sex actions, this game may satisfy you with modest grinding although many CGs are reused, and dialogues and animations are not that great.

But the weakest aspect of the game is that its stories rarely use anticipation. And those sex actions felt like a cheap and shallow quickie without satisfaction. Accordingly, this game is not a real corruption game but a series of quick NTR events unlike the dev's claim.

The fact that the main routes were consecutive (close/ignore one to open up the next) instead of parallel was very jarring for me.

Otherwise, art and narration during sex scenes are good, at least good enough to keep the suspension of disbelief going for a... quite weird plot, to be honest.

Overall, you can spend an afternoon without guilt on this one.

Meh.
Hard to say that this game is corruption. It's more like the mc is a hidden/repressed nympho and then awaken with the story.
To put it simply, This game is ntr first and corruption just bi-product.
So if you're aficionado of corruption I'd say pass. Thecorruption progression literally goes from
- I don't like being molest -*-
- Ah! Why again ?! - -
-Guess I have to suck u off huh -8-
-Hey I didn't say you can put it in but ohh that feel good keep pounding me. HARDER!
that's a general gist of every route untill you are fallen.
The game has this useless "Fallen" popup and said basically that your mc now a total nympho when in actuality she already been for dozen of scene. The difference is after tihs threshold onward the mc just skip the reluctant partof getting molested. Her enthusiatic nympho-like attitude still remain the same.
The art is good , I wound't call it outsantading. but scenes are few and quite vanilla.
Still worth the play if you're not expect the corruption.

I specially waited until the Renpi version to play the game. And unfortunately I was very disappointed.

There may be a lot of content, but as everyone knows, quantity does not equal quality. So yes, there are hundreds of CG in the game, but they are all very vanilla (even rapes). Almost all forced scenes work according to the classic scenario - I don't want to, but I'm wet anyway. Corruption is poorly done, the transition from a blushing virgin to a whore has no middle ground. I also don't like art - mostly because I'm not a fan of watermelon-sized assets, but I guess I'm in the minority here.

If you still want to give it a try, I want to note that the renpi port is good. Even some mini-games have been adapted for new engine. Be sure to play it, as the game requires a lot of playthroughs and you need skip button.

P.S. And yes, for the "biggest h game", they don't even have a dedicated lesbian route (only some scenes here and there).

i don't understand how could anyone give this game rating below a 5 star, the art is pretty hot and female MC is sexy Asf and there are so many routes to play with, although one can play a route at the time, well this seems like a cons to me but meanwhile it also offer the story to be focused on only one direction at a time, so it's not a big deal, and those route have been developed very well, even though this is a hentai game but i love the scenario and the emotions of character develop while we play through.they somehow feel real and logical, i still haven't finished the full game but i played like 4 routes and they all were superb.

Good but definitely drowning in excessive routes and roleplay-esque mechanics.
As such, it works, but to jerk off, you probably just play one route through and you're done with the game, thinking about the time invested in that alone.
Should've been less branched, more defined and voiced sounds on top, it would've been perfect.

Well here we are, one of the games that has been an icon in the world of esoteric niche hentai games, Fleeting Iris. And boy it sure is... underwhelming!

I played this game through years ago sometime around 2016/2017, and I remember thinking at the time what a boring slog the game was for a large portion of it's run time. They pride themselves on being one of the largest hentai games ever! And having so much content to play through! And with all the hype surrounding this game you'd think it was the next Violated Heroine. But it's not, and today in 2024 it's still a boring slog.

Don't get me wrong. The art is good. Not amazing but it is genuinely good. The sex scenes are vanilla at times, but still good. The corruption system in my opinion is severely lacking, but it's there. But the amount of effort you'll have to put in, walking back and forth, doing this then that, making sure your stats are at this number at this time before you can view this scene... it's just not up to snuff with the modern Hentai game scene.

And their claim of being the largest hentai game ever, may be true, (Tho by what metric and by who's judgement idk)the phrase "As wide as an ocean as deep as a puddle" comes to mind. The routes in this game are plentiful, but none of them besides maybe 2 are really fully realized or with any real satisfying conclusions.

I think a modern game in 2024 to compare this to would be something like the upcoming game MY... A game that fundamentally follows a lot of the same themes/tropes, and utilizes the RPG maker medium as well, but to much greater effect. The game is currently only in demo form, but even there you can see a plethora of options you have to do things in the game besides just walking back and forth. Multiple clothing options, multiple characters to seduce or not, and easily accessible random H scenes that fill out the world by your own choice, and a corruption system with actual substance as well as an mental health system. Oh and stellar art direction as well!

Fleeting Iris comes off as dated, and not respecting of the players time. It would be understandable if this game came out 5-10 years ago, but the genre has continued to improve while this game never seemed to get the memo throughout it's very long dev time. You can and will cum while playing this game, but you'll probably find yourself asking "was that really worth the time?" afterwards. A shame, but I'm hoping Heaven Studios can show us they are capable of making a modern experience with their next effort.

GOOOD, It is an excellent game, but I have no idea if the steam version is updated to support the creator, good CG, good drawing and excellent story, It has different routes, it probably has about 20 hours of gameplay, I can dare even more, it is easy to play and I highly recommend saving often before making decisions because you may not like the path you are taking.

The game just got a Ren'Py release and I honestly don't know which version I like more. The RPGM feels a lot more immersive while the Ren'Py version feels like a VN and it's much easier to access the content. Regardless, in both cases, it's a huge game with amazing art, amazing soundtrack, great story, a little too fast paced for me since I like slowly corrupting the characters but some people seem to feel the opposite about the game. Easily in the conversation for the best hentai game ever.

Ayame Sawada is a very perverted woman with a very powerful sex drive. The problem is though, that she really does not want to be that kind of woman. This is the key conflict throughout the 20 different endings for Fleeting Iris.

While many people look at these kinds of games and just see fap material (which is understandable) I think Fleeting Iris is more then that. Don't get me wrong I did find many of the H-scenes to be very arousing. Ayame herself is an absolute bombshell babe of course. So I bet people will love seeing all the different scenes she finds herself in. The art took some getting used to for me since its not a style I usually look for, but it is well done, and I came to enjoy it very much.

With that said, what really stands out in this game for me is the stories and characters. Ayame's struggle is framed very well as a struggle about denying who you are. Several people Ayame meets continue to challenge her notions of what kind of person she should be. About if she really wants to be the prudish puritan that society says she should be. There are even scenes where she speaks to a therapist about these kinds of struggles and the game gives a pretty thoughtful answer to them.

Fleeting Iris is a fairly open game that gives the player many choices to decide what path Ayame's life will take. The 20 different endings in 10 different routes that all happen based on the things the player chooses to do. All of these are very well written and cover a wide range of what to expect. Ayame can stay focused on her love of her new fiance who constantly works over time and leaves her alone and unsatisfied, or she can find ways to indulge her desires and eventually come to terms with herself. Some routes will actually feel quite wholesome, while others will take you on such a roller coaster of emotions that you will feel completely overwhelmed by what just happened.

There is a morality system that goes down as you find more ways for Ayame to sate her desires, lower morality can unlock more scenes and more endings.

If I had to pick one complaint it would likely just be that there are a few times where Ayame seems a bit too naive. Though it is expected since not only is Ayame trying to be the nicest most forgiving person she can be, but also she has the whole country girl in the big city vibes. So the naivety could be excused, especially since many situations just wouldn't happen if she didn't have that naive side. It all still plays out very well and rather believable I think.

All and all this is quite the experience that really spoke to me about how much we should or should not value the traditional ideals of what relationships and sexual encounters should be like. Its worth playing through for anyone that cares more about a h-game with a deeper story and meaning to it.

All the people crying that the game "locks you out" of stuff give me the impression they're all playing old versions of the game. The latest version has two paths that are locked and that's about it. Everything else sends you back to where you were before the lock when you finish it.

People are way too used to games where the routes have no sort of segue and the characters are sluts in some route and pure in other but they probably like that better for the sake of "freedom".

Won't ever be able to please everyone.

This game is almost 10 years later still the best NTR RPG game that ever came out and their latest stuff makes me believe the sequels will be out of this world.

10/10 Game.

I wanted to like this game, and stuck through the long ass routes just to try and see where it would go. I ended up dropping the game when I found out I got locked out of a series of free-roam events because I didnt do a certain thing at a certain time with a certain level of morality... Are you fking kidding me? 3 precise factors needed to kickstart the classic corruption trope of train molestation? Fuck outta here. There are guides but they consist of really cursed flowcharts that you're better off printing out on a A0 paper to make heads or tails of.
Honestly, this game should've just been a VN, it has no business masquerading as a RPGM when all you're doing is running around just trying to find events that could have been sequentially added within a VN. The route locking takes away your player agency anyway.

A unique take on Corruption tag, the Corruption on the female lead happens but it's kinda Ambiguous and Self inflicted. She basically turns into a Vindictive bitch more so than a Horny slut, which in a way is more closer to reality than fiction.

I mean this is probably a 10/10 game for someone who is looking for a rather Strong female lead who is also slutty af, but that isn't what I was looking for. I am more interested in Corruption game where someone else slowly breaks her Mind and turns her slutty against her own will, whereas in this one she turns Slutty and Corrupted by herself, which is not a turn on for me unfortunately, however if you are into that sort of thing, you will probably like this game.

To be totally honest with you this is the best female protagonist game I've played to date. The art is comparable to Erahunter(sadly abandoned) and the multiple available endings check all the boxes for an NTR game. and the fact Robert gets his happy ending too in some of those is awesome.

Definite advantages: Dialogues - the guy who wrote the dialogues for this game does not eat his bread in vain. The visual component - the artist's style is pleasant and harmonious. Interactive options with tracking the heroine’s condition, examining her appearance in the mirror, the option of various types of tanning, interactive indicators of the heroine’s condition. A huge amount of content in the game. Cons: in erotic scenes there is usually only one illustration without much development of the scene itself visually.

Great story, not to difficult to progress, and hot scenes, especially with the gallery unlock and bonus dlc make this game a must play for fans that enjoy cheating, pregnancy, ect. The sprite animation is clean and one would be pressed to find a bug in game. The abilty to view prior scenes is great especially if you really want to see one ending specifially.
