Ren'Py - Altered Destiny [v0.12c] [ICCreations]

First I would just like to shit on this dev for having a weird height thing, I'm assuming he himself is also real short. Why are the women the same height as MC when they're all 18 but much taller in their late thirties? I'm no doctor but I know for a fact that's not how that works.

Anyways, to the meat of this review. Besides the weird height fetish the dev has this story is fuckin great. The sexy time scenes are phenomenal. The mini games are actually fun and not frustrating. You can even turn them off if you want.
Time travel, college, wincest, and amnesia VNs are abundant and a bit overplayed. So it's really nice when someone can come along and tell a genuinely fun and entertaining story that keeps the player hooked. I've had this one on my list for a while but just got around to it and I'm so glad I did.
MC discovers an artifact that let's himself go back in time and adjust things, not for himself, but for the betterment of those that he loves. He also fucks most of those loved ones, past and present. Juicy story and great renders. I would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for the height thing.

The game has really nice looking models with really exciting story. The game has variety of characters with quirks and personality of their own which I really liked very much. Unlike other sandbox games the story is linear and not confusing. It has really good animated scenes. Keep up the good work.

After a long time, finally, a story hooked me. It's goofy, weird, as well as serious and enjoyable. The LI's are all good-looking and have an appeal of their own. Nice personality and lovable character. Sandbox is not grindy and properly conveys important tips. This is the kind of sandbox I like. No pontless grinding.
Excluding the model for the MC, I have nothing major to complain about.
But I can ignore the MC model as well. I know how hard and rare it is to get a good-looking male model in DAZ.
Loved the story progression. Eagerly waiting for the next update.

Its an very nice game. It has a very interesting concept of time traveling, renders are also very good looking plus dev is improving his skills by each passing day. You should also play his other games. In this one as of 06/04/2025 has lots of content already. I like all of the characters and the story. Don't be too hard on dev what he is creating is based on his imagination and from that imagination how much perfectly he could create something for us. Just enjoy it ^^

The story is a really interesting premise and I like all of the characters.. except the MC. He is... just a fucking asshole. a reactionary whiny, stupid, lazy, uninteresting, snarky with no right to be... dickhead. Rewrite him and the game would quadruple in quality.

The girl models are excellent with nice models for the most part, but there are downsides.

It's laggy as heck so you end up NEEDING to press skip to counter it, but then you end up missing stuff.

The main thing that makes this drop from ok to poor - asshole minigames all over the place. There's even a setting for this because obviously it is well known how much people hate this crap - yet the setting does NOTHING

There's a bunch of monster scenes. I think content like that is trash but I guess some like it. Wasn't bad enough to affect my rating, but worth mentioning.

Youre forced into absolutely vile scenes especially at porn studio with nasty women

Think I've gotten to the end of the content at this moment. Sooo right now, i like the premise. The idea of an mc jumping back and forth through time to interact mainly with his family is really neat, along with seeing other adults (mainly the females of course) younger.

Pros
The premise is really really interesting
Incest (with the patch) that is all
Mc isn't a shota/child
You arent railroaded into trying to get with the best(girl)friend
The female models for the older and younger women look good

Cons:
While not the worse, I hate the MC's model. His face looks like he's 50 while he's got the body of a 15 yr old but is 19.
Alot of the facial expressions can look kinda bad.
I'm up for slow burns but the story overshadows the sexual content quite a bit
Game is a little too dialogue heavy and not engaging enough to keep me interested (personally)
While im cool with a game with free roam, alot of it seems pointless as of yet.
Features are allowed before they have an actual point like interacting with your family before there's really any reason for it.

VERSION: v0.11c
SUMMARY: Pretty good game overall, but has a very long development time and not enough content to justify it IMO.
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 5
2. Animations: 5
3. General Visuals: 4
4. Characters: 4
5. Story: 4
6. Writing: 4
7. Pacing: 3
8. Content (amount): 2
9. UI & Sounds: 3
10. Fetish & kinks: 2

Average: 36 of 50 possible points giving a 72% rating i.e. 4>5 stars.

PROS:

1. Very good looking models overall and a decent looking MC that actually looks like a young man and not some baby face.
2. Written quite well, good over structure.
3. Story is not entirely new, the Timestamps games did this kind of thing before and in a way also better, that being subjective though. Overall its always fun to see a story that fucks with time and the cause and effect.
4. Visually the game looks damn good, some sexual renders are better than other, some look a bit washed out, too bright and others better. This however is not often but something I did see once or twice.
5. Sounds are not bad, music is better than rest of the sounds,
6. UI and interactions with the world are surprisingly not bad, I hate sandbox however and find it a waste of time but I get why its done this way. It is done well. I do appreciate the efforts gone into it.
7. Animations are great,I also like the small animations of characters and the world like the speakers from radio, small things but nice and great effort.

CONS:

1. While sounds are decent there are not much when it comes to sexual lewd content which is a bit disappointing.
2. The MCs best friend is highly annoying and only detracts from the MCs real goal and that is to save his family.
3. At the same time the MC also is annoying with his ability to cockblock himself.
4. Frustrating having some characters in free roam world still have no dialogue options and they only act as placeholders...
5. Amount of content I feel is OK, but should be more, hell the game should be completed by now.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• The MCs "best friend" is not exactly an interesting character or a character I would regard a friend at all, I believe her intentions are mostly self serving and she clings to the MC out of her own insecurities and other bullshit. Her actions are highly annoying as much as she is and she is overbearing and selfish in that, that her actions while they seem noble/altruistic always play to her advantage like some long game she is playing and using the MC, that is my impression of her at the moment, it may change but I personally don't like her at all and she kinda kills the mood of the game for me.
• As per above point, while I generally approve of the MC and he is trying to do the right thing most of the time, it can cut both ways when he prevents himself from actually getting much action. This is after all an adult VN, so it does get frustrating when the MC gets cold feet despite being obviously some pervert with kinks too. This was my experience, however I have not completed the current version so it may change.
• While I feel overall very positive of the game, I am frustrated that the game has some much missing still considering its original launch date. Yes I can appreciate that people build and develop these games with much less than a normal studio, I do feel that these games become overly ambitious and never gets done or end abruptly. Perhaps it would be best to split these kinds of games into several games rather than drag one game out but never get to experience much. Its as if this game keeps on wanting to become more and better but never gets there and when it finally does its pretty much done. I hope I am mistaken in this instance, but this is my opinion and im sticking to it.
• A decent quest log or system that indicates there is still content to play and what would be nice instead of jumping from timelines and fast forwarding time to unlock new events, another bullshit thing about sandbox.
• This game has a HUGE amount of potential but again, it needs more content to fill into the potential place holders and the rate that content has been released is IMO very slow. Great game, great way to introduce and play it despite sandbox, but just worries me that it takes so long to develop. Unfortunate...

This is bad. The worst of sandboxing blue balls. Aged renders. Some really unlikable characters. Honestly its like the overall thought is when in doubt lesbian scene. Not solved plot points, not MC gets some.....just lesbians. I don't hate lesbians.....I hate the constant stream of tease or lesbians. Either way the premise was interesting if not for it being a let down for lack of follow through.

Shitty games, with shitty renders and, and point and click sys that is not instinctive.
More over the ration of h-scenes is poor, which is worsened by lot of blue balling and the executiion of its concept of time travel done very poorly.
Not recommended. I hope I can recover my time I wasted in this game.

Animations are so good. Character renders are okey. Story is about time travelling between two timelines. (20 years ago and present). Choices dont matter much. So far so good. I hope developer continues this project. This promises much.

This game surprised me. Sure, it has some obvious tropes (i.e. helping sister with homework, lusty friend's mom, etc.), but the main plot line (think Back to the Future) is great. The writing is serviceable and the lewd animations have some bounce to them. It is not completed, so you get that, 'this route will be in future update' junk and the sandbox setting causes some reruns, but I am certainly going to bookmark this game and follow to completion. If the developer finishes it by the end of 2025, I'll even buy a copy to show my appreciation.

One of the greatest porn games I've ever played.

I had it put aside because I didn't like the appearance of the MC and her best (female) fried, Kim.

But I tried it out of boredom, and it has gone directly to one of my top ten. Maybe even top 5, I don't have them rated.


I like the MC and Kim. They are likeable. The MC is not a hateful person that only wants to fulfill his lust as in many games. He cares about the people he loves and understands that something must not happen, so it's slow burn.

Of course, he will do it will all the female cast, but in a tasteful way. He even put on a condom to have sex with one of the LI.

Netorare (NTR): Per definition "one character, often a man, is romantically or sexually involved with a woman, but she is seduced or forced into a sexual relationship with another man, leading to feelings of betrayal, jealousy, and emotional distress for the original partner.", there is no NTR in this game.

But if you are the part of the f95 NTR hater group and feels betrayed if your female friend pecks your mother, or gets hurts when a LI married to another LI have (out of screen) sex, this game is not for you. Avoid it.

Bro i don't know why this game is so underrated. I mean I get it sandboxes are very annoying when you want to bust that nut but this game is too good to be avoided just because of that . The characters were well designed, the story writing is good, the animations are good.. well. I mean there is very little to complain in this game. I mean being a dik, treasure of nadia,summertime saga(og) all are grind centered game. but theese games as a whole are too good to overlook , the same can be said in its case. I don't know of your opinions but this game is a solid A tier game.

I absolutely loved the characters, the story line and the look of the characters. The characters were well developed, and you can actually see them growing and still staying true to some form of moral code. The MC really does try to be a good and moral person, but his moral code of making sure that those he loves are happy and fulfilled over rides that sometimes. It actually becomes a rather endearing trait.

Good story so far, and really good renders/animations. I just wish there was an IC patch, since his "roommate" calls him "bro". Other than that, really liking this so far. The game mechanics are pretty fun as well. Having to upgrade your transportation to reach further out spots gives it a challenge.

This game has really interesting and emotional story, in a good way and i love it! Characters are hot, with different personalities, a there is a type for everyone.
Animations are really good, so are the scenes in general, with good writing in whole game. Great work as always from this dev, wish you all the luck!

Just a fantastic game. The women are varied, there's fun shenanigans, time travel had fun implications, and it's got enjoyable humor. I enjoy these games where it's pretty linear, but you're given a world and you can go and focus on who you want

Good story so far, left me wanting way more lol .09c so far. The game does a good balance of the time travel feature (i think i missed the part were since he messed with the past why the mc doesn't disappear also) The ladies are hot though the fortune teller is meh (in terms of looks) and could be a possible way to guide players if they are lost.

I am very confused by some of the negative reviews for this game.
Some people are saying the story is too hard to follow or that it doesn't make sense. I can only assume these people do not understand English very well.
Some of the character criticisms (one character in particular) are based on an older version of the game.

The story in my opinion is quite good; traveling back in time and forward again and seeing how what your character did in the past effects the present is executed quite well. But this is not a jump into the R rated scenes kind of game, it is very much narrative driven first and foremost.

The characters over all are great, they are very believable in a R-rated incest game sort of way. They all have distinct personalities without entering caricature territory.

Kim's character in particular is heavily criticised; but to me it looks as if her critics have missed something that, if intended, seems very obvious. I would encourage people to play the game rather than read this next part
