VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Alexandra [v1.0] [PTOLEMY]

I was hoping to be with Alexandra but as soon as she turned out to be already involved with someone else (her friend Izzy or whatever) that was off the table. Without MC and Alexandra (and only those two) having a thing, the story just wasn't strong enough to hold my interest. I had zero interest in Izzy and there were no choices - I even went back and tried to kill her and that's where they game ended for me. Waste of time.

Outdated renders, bad animations, vanilla sex - no kinks (aside from cheating), there are a lot of girls but always the same, bj, vaginal missionary, and doggystyle, and that's it with some rare variations. The game is obviously not focused on sex. So why this AVN is so damn good? It's a well-written and engaging thriller with horror. The simplicity of the dialogue is the strong point with no endless blah blah blah followed by thoughts and narrative. There are lots of choices and it is all pivotal. It's a very straightforward AVN.

This one got a nice charm at start but lost it along the way. It started to get boring when it nears the ending. Ending could have been made better. It was a nice Mafia story at start now it felt like usual Mafia story. Alex and Izzy are nice. Sadly didn't get that much scenes with Narissa. Along the way dev dropped other girls story arc. I started skipping to get ending faster. Ptolemy peaked here and his peak ended before this game's ending.

You can try this one and judge for yourself

At first I was skeptical but this one of the best I have played. I only got 1-2 game overs intentionally and played through it one time but the amount of choices kept the game alive. I didn't have any issues with the MC and the story continuously had me hooked. Also pregnancy all the way.

The game starts out good, with MC and Alex slowly building something and Alex stopping to be with her girlfriend atleast infront of MC making us belive she wants to be with him, i enjoyed everything up to that point.

Then Alex and Isabella starts to be a couple infront of MC, at one point Alex ask if he minds it and you have no options to say no which is a bit of a let down, making it feel NTR since you want Alex but shes with someone else, what is even worse is Isabella tries to kill MC but backs out and you have the option to kill her, buts its a fake option that just ends the game.
Also MC sits around in an appartment sleeping on the couch while Alex and Isabella goes to the bed room to have sex, dont really get why it dosent have the NTR tag since game is all about Alex and most of the game MC is just watching the two girls play and kiss with one anoter and have sex without MC, he is just standing on the sideline looking stupid which make the game feel boring, pointless and very long.

What more is your forced to be with Isabella, you get a choice "do you want to get closer to her" even when you pick NO, and try to stay clear of her you she still ends up in your bed and you fuck her, i am not a fan of forced sex and you cant leave Alex either its all forced on you and a kenitic story line.

Game is more kinetic then anything else, options dont really matter and your forced to be with Alex even if you dont want a 3 some with two lesbians.

If the game had options that mattered it could have been a good game, but it really just falls short over all, even though the story is decent the lack of action and options makes the game more annoying then good.

Graphics arent that great either, theres no sounds or music so it gets boring fast.

The description of the game also makes you think its a one girl romance and nothing about shareing Alex with someone else.

Also this is more of a VN and not a AVN, there is so much text and very long between sex scenes which i wouldent mind if the story was worth it, but i really dont feel like it is since i dont like that your only option is to join a lesbian couple relationship.

Not sure if i missed something but at some point you find out the two girls are half sisters but never found out the point of it since you never tell them about it, made no real sense to me.

This game has awfully huge amount of nonsexual story content. I don't mind if there is some story behind it, but here it is just simply too much. Also the graphics is really bad. Your penis looks like the worst rubber dildo.
Graphics: 2/5
Renders: 3/5
Hot female: 3/5
Fetish: 1/5
Clothes&Lingerie: 1/5
Animations: 2/5
Story: 2/5
Gameflow: 1/5

This is a story based game and not like "lets fuck as much as we can every 1-2 scenes!", i think its an advantage, and dont worry, there is still enough sex.

Why to play:
- Storyline: realistic, interesting, and kinda unique (you are part of the mob). also the characters actually behaving like you would expect from them, like their jobs and characteristics. I seriously could play the game for the plot only.
- Women: beautiful and sexy and realistic- not huge huge asses and tits everywhere you look, also the MC penis is normal+ size and not a horse cock(thank you!!!). also, love the personality of the main girls and also most of the side girls. again, a good story!
- Sex: you have meaningful sex but also more of a one night stands, also some in between sex and no sex.
- Animation: although it can be improved to look more believable, its not that common to have animations at all and it is done well enough.
- Not all women just fall in love with you on first sight, most of them need time and some actually have a curve from nothing to more.
- Male characters actually exists and shown (not like alot of other games where it feels like guys just disappeared).

cons:
- the supernatural thing not ending good enough and leaves you with alot of questions. you can actually just not put any supernatural things in this game and the story will remain 11/10.
- no girl with small breast size
- with some girls you cannot advance too much sexually. though the game name is "Alexandra" so you know...
- seriously, as a guy who likes incest, dont put this tag there, its just dont belong here. still enjoyed the game though.
- if you want a break from the usual RenPy look of women.


Thank you dev for making this game! I hope you are well and will bless us with more games amazing as this one! Goodluck!

Loose ends galore.

If you enjoy a game where at the end you go "wtf, thats it??!! What about xxxxxx or xxx and why did xxxxxx happen?!!!"
This game is for you. If not, avoid it.

Pros: Good plot line and story.
Cons: Not very good lewd scenes, renders and ending.

This is basically a story involving the mob with some supernatural stuff thrown in. The mob elements of the story was quite good.
In the build up the supernatural stuff seem to play a big part in the MC'S and one LI's characters; strength, aggression etc. There was even a side character that hinted at what the supernatural powers may come from.
Unfortunately none of it was expanded upon or even explained.
The game ends with a time jump with a whole bunch of loose ends and character arcs that were teased but went nowhere.

This isn't the typical lewd game, the first sex scene comes after a lot of gameplay. If you are not into the story, this game has very little to offer.

Pro: Writing

Cons: Models, renders, animation, typos

I did not care for the models in the game. Didn't really enjoy the sex scenes either. When thats the case I generally stop playing. But in this case, I continued playing becuase the writing was very good specially in the early part of the game.

The game tries to set up a big event in the second half of the game that is when the writing takes a hit. The Alex and izzy characters can be very naggy and annoying, personally would have preferred a route without them (IK the game is literally called Alexandra). At one point, Alex becomes some mastermind but makes very questionable/laughable decisions which made very little sense in terms of the story. The MC has real Will Smith energy. Also plenty of typos, wrong characters delivering dialogues etc. Some of the storylines are left unresolved.

I wished the game only focused on alexandra
Normally i don't mind mc having multiple girls
But in this game alexandra herself is a really good character
Not someone who jumps on the mc on the first moment
The other girls ruined the story for me
No bugs

I got mixed feelings while playing this game. From joy till frustration.

First half of the game - interesting and logic plot, good dialogues, characters have logic motivation.
There is annoying try to force you into threesome with main Li and her very annoying and imposing friend (lover). But you kinda have opportunity to reject, in fact you have to reject her multiple times. And during first half your choices kinda matter - I mean MC doesn't like Izzy (Alexandra's friend) and behaves towards her accordingly to your previous choices.

The most interesting starts in second half of the game, somehow, despite previous decisions, MC abruptly falls for Izzy, dialogues become unlogic. It kinda ruined the whole atmosphere in a game. But It was bearable because despite missbehaviour from MC he didn't fuck Izzy at least... till the ending and final scene.
In final scene MC fucks both girls and ends up in threesome life. That was absolutely unlogic, frustrating and disappointing.

So, long story short: at the start game kinda tricks you, making you to think that your choices matter and you play the game (not short game I must say). So, you spend your time and play until in the end - bamm. So, apparently, whatever you do during the game, whichever decisions you make - you eventually end up in forced threesome freakshow.

I don't mean to insult developer here, obviously he spent a lot of time and efforts while creating it, like i said, the game is not short. Also i am sure that a lot of players are into harems, threesomes, foursomes and other kinky stuff, so we can say it is a matter of taste. But would it kill author to, at a very least, make a note in description of the game that
1) choices don't matter
2) you are forced to end up in a threesome path in any way.

I started this game because I wanted to play some romance solo game, and considering it's name and description it was supposed to be like that((

Well, that was painful at the end, what can I say. Peace and good luck.

Listen the art isnt great nor is the animations. However, I'm thoroughly impressed with the writing while playing this vn. What makes this game such a gem from other ones is the characters and dialogue. The banter, the dialogue the conversations all are realistic with a sense of personality. This doesn't feel like a book or a movie with a professor in sociology who wrote the scripts and inputted it but someone who actually has human emotions and actual experience. I recommend playing this 100 percent, give it a try you wont regret it.

The story is not good. It has supernatural stuff which feels out of place and unnecessary. There is never any explanation given for the supernatural stuff. Towards the end the story starts to feel rushed. The ending is not satisfying.
Side characters are underdeveloped. Animations are bad and seems kinda mechanical. The character models were very good. The models seem to fit the personality of the characters.

It's unfortunate that I can't rate this game higher because the main story is actually pretty good. The issues spring up all around it though.

The main detractor is the complete lack of polish. You have about two trillion spelling and grammar mistakes, words missing, words appearing twice, the text being assigned to wrong characters etc etc etc. It stretches from the beginning to the end of the game which is a big shame.
Then there are lose ends which never get resolved, like a character saying he will call the MC but that never happening (and that's just a small one). The (female) side characters are unfortunately just that: side characters which get too little screen presence. They are there to get the MC going on the main story and potentially offer some side sex, but (unfortunately) nothing really beyond that. Of course, it's also a bit weird that they are all wanting to have sex with the MC but I guess since it's a porn game, it's mostly expected.
The supernatural element...I honestly think it wasn't necessary, especially when it got other people involved. The time spent on that could have been used for polish, fleshing out the other characters or avoiding loose ends.

Apart from the main story, I really liked the changing relationship of Boris and the MC. In general, the MC, Alexandra, Isabella and Boris are basically the main characters in the story and I'm a bit sad that Isabella fell by the wayside near the end. Then again, the game IS called "Alexandra" after all...but still, a bit of a shame.

So, as I said, the core is pretty good (and it keeps you going) but what's around it is unfortunately not nearly baked enough.

This is a great game, one of the best adult games I have played, but if you want to play it, you should know that this is not a porn game and that it is more focused on story than mindless sex.

Alexandra is a game with a compelling story, focused on a gangster family with some supernatural elements. The gangster story is one of the best I have played (most gangster stories make me cringe a bit but not this one), it is believable and the characters behave in ways that I would expect gangsters to behave.

The supernatural aspects to the game are also well done and add to the story.

The characters are well written and have distinct personalities, the sex scenes are good enough, with good writing but the animations are a bit awkward or stiff at times (and despite that I still think the game is an easy 5/5, the story is that good).

So finished the game, honestly i don't feel like giving it less than 3 stars because the writing is good, but This is just ridicilous honestly reading 1 and half hours worth of story for 2 scenes !!!
the story is good, but at the end the big choice become full creature or resist, it doesn't effect the story at all, just dima is did and about 5 lines are changed to indicate that he disappeared, no scenes for being full creature so don't waste your time, just let poor dima live the guy is harmless.
the scenes animations are very poor
the girls and story make the game fly and worth playing
but if you are not willing to read this much, just give this game a pass, you will die of boredom, and the scenes are not even long to warrant such length between them.
overall the game delivers a good story but not much else, a poor imagination when it comes to making porn scenes, imagine making a game where the guy becomes intimate with a lesbian couple, and the lesbian couple never ever have sex together again !? i mean if he was afraid of incest why even make them sisters, when you didn't even tell the girls they were sisters, it was a detail in the story that made no sense and had no effect on anything !

There's a bit of reading in this game but the story, writing, and characters are actually good enough to make this an enjoyable game to play and experience, for the most part. Perhaps my only gripes would be that it did feel a little stretched out at points and that some of the paranormal/supernatural themes didn't really fit the plot but still a great game regardless.

The story starts off reasonably well. Alexandra does come across as rather naive as she goes straight home with the MC when he has just killed two men, but it is mosly good at the beginning. Furthermore, the story has its funny moments, for example I can really appreciate the dialogue with Mr. Boris about his daughter. For example when he asks you if you want to be tucked in by him, hilarious.

The mc however is not really interesting, it's not believable that they start to like him more and more while he doesn't really add anything. The story also drags on too long while not much important actually happens. The end of the story is very well done and made me really want to read the dialogue again, the way the story ended was perhaps the best element of this game.

However, it did feel like the story ended a bit quickly with some of the side characters. For example, with the gun girl (who I really liked) there was a dialogue in which she asks the mc if he will contact her when all the chaos is over. She is not contacted again until six months later or so, when Alex's pregnancy has been going on for some time. It's a shame that the dev didn't get something more out of these side romances. The sex scenes were also of very poor quality unfortunately. That's why I actually wanted to give it 2 stars, but the finish of the story just lifted it to 3 stars.

A promising game left as an uncut gem.

Story
It is a mafia game so some of the elements present here were encounter in other few games, but still I liked how thing were going. The dev try to create a second layer, a layer of misticism but failed to impress when he game up on closing this arc. Without the dark force being present in the story everything happens more or less the same...
There are some interesting plots that are started but never finished (Izzy father, Izzy mother going for an institution, the money that were stolen)

Characters
This is where the game make itseft known but with a 80% effor. For once the main interest of the MC does not start salivating when she see a cock. Alexandra is a well written character: an educated lady, witty and with a scope in mind. She knows what she wants and is going for it. Even so her having some brain up there means less sex scenes for us to enjoy. We also have a realistical depiction of her (girl snoring, burping, without energy for sex, grumpy, etc)
Beside Alexandra we have Izzy which come with a story of herself and for which we could root.

Gameplay
It would have been nice if we could made more impactful decision leading to diverse outcome (bad boss who killed everyone, bad boss surrounded only by sluts, good boss with only one girl etc, giving up on mafia and going with a secondary girl). Sex renders are fine, but nothing impressive.

If all those points would have been ratified this game would have been a solid 5, but like this, a 3.5...

Undoubtedly, and many will agree, the author has a lot of work on this project, it would not be so popular. He has described each case in such detail that it undoubtedly required a lot of work. The main girls are so perfectly beautiful and cute that I would like to meet them again. The story is also built on a very interesting theme, which makes it more attractive. (The story would be better not to be so stretched with trifles). And I have to touch on the most sensitive issue in this game - sex scenes. Sex scenes are very, very bad both in terms of description and animation. I think that sex scenes are the most important here and the author should have paid more attention to them. Thanks to the author and good luck.
