VN - Ren'Py - All Things Change [v0.0.9RP Demo] [ALDOR]

An excellent, but short demo of things to come. Lots of gorgeous women introduced that im sure we will get to know much more intimately in the future, and a *very* promising teaser once you solve the puzzle near the end of the demo.

I love the inclusion of puzzles, but it was a little annoying that I had to guess the right answer for the demo. From what ive heard we dont have all the info we need to solve it right now as of the first version of the demo.

Fun premise overall, tons of promise and a lot of talent on display. Love the diversity of characters too. Petite women, milfs with huge chests, and everything in between. Can't wait to see more. Hopefully the dev doesn't disappear half way through like most first time devs do.

The only good thing about this game is the renders. Everything else is painfully boring. The story feels way off, like it was written under HR supervision, LOL. There is no real excitement, no proper pacing, and nothing that pulls you in.

Overall, if you just want a quick fap, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, you will spend most of your time smashing CTRL to skip through the dull parts.

Review for All Things Change (v0.0.9RP Demo)

All Things Change opens with a surprisingly substantial slice of its prologue, and despite being only a portion of the introduction, it delivers more content than expected. The demo does a commendable job laying the groundwork for its narrative: it offers just enough glimpses into the MC’s past to spark curiosity, while ending on a well-placed note of mystery that encourages you to want more.

From a visual standpoint, the renders are solid and polished, complementing the tone of the scenes well. The music is serviceable for now—nothing distracting—but as the story ramps up, it would be great to see the soundtrack become more tailored to the emotional beats and atmosphere of each moment.

As a harem game, it’s clear that not all potential love interests have been introduced yet. While this aligns with the developer’s vision, it would be refreshing to see a wider range of races and ethnicities represented among the LIs instead of them appearing largely uniform. Greater diversity would only enrich the world and broaden its appeal.

All in all, this demo shows real promise. It’s a strong start with a good balance of story setup, intrigue, and presentation. Hopefully the developer continues to build on this foundation and maintains this level of quality as the game evolves.

The only problem I see with the novel is that I'd like to see more; it left me wanting more. It has mystery and many potential romances; the possibilities are numerous and varied, and I enjoyed the plot. The characters are quite realistic, which I appreciate, and the main character is a DILF, which is a welcome change for older readers like myself. One detail I found curious was the photos. There are photos taken 20 years apart, but the background is very similar, which doesn't seem very logical. But it's a minor and insignificant detail, and it's forgivable because I found it very entertaining and I'm eager to see more of this novel. Congratulations to the artist.

PROS
+ Your choices matter, and you have freedom of choice to whose path you gonna be in or not.
+ The game has it's own ingame walkthrough mod, which is big plus.
+ Main menu music is quite good.
+ Visual quality, and character models are pretty good. Females are cute/beautiful/hot, and MC's model is not soo far off either, he is not one of cliche skinny MC's, and looks kind of muscular, and unique.

CONS
- Story-wise MC is back his old town, where he, and even his family born, and seems like some stuff happened in the past and some people really hates him, like the Sheriff Harry stopped, and told him to ''get the hell out his town'' and that smells like a lot of annoying scenes to come, in fact let alone encounter in this update is already annoying enough with how he keeps talking slick to you, and MC keep saying he deserve the hate, and as a player you have to accept MC's past mistakes, and backage, in fact you even end up in jail if you talk back... BRUH...
- The game starts with ''In memory of those who fell victim to censorship and will never rise again.'' message, and as you can guess some stuff actually feels like should be there is censored, that's alone already bit ''meh'', but like it's not enough the game keeps reminding you stuff it doesn't even need to, and there are a lot of weird emphatic dialogues like ''I'm going to change, and leave you to your perfect not real family.'' which makes things even worse.
- Textbox is bit bad.
- Kara's character is not really likeable, she is way to selfish, stupid, and persistent, MC literally explains her ''why'' multiple times about why he is stopping being writer, yet she don't understand sh*t, selfishly says stuff like ''You can't stop! What about me?!'' meanwhile he literally opening himself to her saying he was in dark places for 3 damn years, and he needs to stop to get better for himself, and Linda, and keeps trying to change his mind.
- Most animations looks bit weird, almost as they are AI, since it's not confirmed I'm not gonna assume they are, but they do look weird, and kind of bad that's for sure.
- The stat notification at top gets bugged sometimes, and half of it still looks visible.

VERDICT
It's just a demo, so not soo much to tell aside from clear PROS & CONS, but seems like worth following, hope they do fix problems, and make improvements. For now it feels average, but I will be editing my review later on with new updates.

Really solid first release, even for a demo. I could go into details, but I am lazy, just go and play it you won't be disappointed. Knowing Aldor this is gonna be another 10/10 coming in no doubt. Godspeed.

Excellent visuals, a unique and compelling start to a story and very sexy girls.

This is little more than a preview right now but this game honestly has potential to be something special. Good stuff.

In my opinion, the art alone deserves 5 stars. The animations look like they were made by A.I but this is probably the best use of A.I I've seen in any game. In other games when the animations are done by A.I the characters look completely different and that is not the case here.
It has a really interasting setting that leaves you very curious to learn more about the MCs past and all the girls so far are beautiful.

This is only a demo? And its not even a finished prologue already? This feels more like a pretty well done prologue.

Lewds are decent, plot and corruption system plus branching looks amazing and what really intrigued me while I started playing. Plus pissing off the sheriff is going to be a hell of a lot of fun!

This is going to be a heavy contender for best new AVN

Looking forward to more!

Great storytelling and Incredible use of visuals.. a almost 'parallel' universe of sorts that is a welcome return of one of the great animators and visual evs out there..
While reviewing this only on a partial prologue I still have to give it its full marks for quality and potential for the future
lets just hope that the dev is able to be allowed to reveal his creative vision this time instead of falling prey to the censorship cretins
Good Luck dev

not bad, insanely short, but straight into things.
Definitely could be longer but that would be the expectation of the first release, most devs don't bother with a beefy release and the game never lasts.

Nice ensemble of characters, nice renders, not too sure about the Ai animations. But its something new that VNs have been trying.

Its currently about 5 mins long for anyone wondering. Goodluck dev
