VN - Ren'Py - Alternate Existence [S2 v2.2.1] [MrKnobb]

    I went into this pretty biased.
    Mr. Knobb's last game became a huge letdown for me.
    The endless filler dialogue, the inane ridiculous and juvenile behaviour of the grown man Jensen, who is also a horrible Mary Sue, the concentration on side plots you could have cut from the game, without losing anything (no, the game would have been so much better without them).

    I was sure that this would just be more of the same, just endless droning on and perving out.
    And I admit, it did start out a bit that way, but it really became less annoying as the story went. You can't really fault a guy for staring at women, when they so completely throw their assets at him. You'd have to be dead, completely asexual or gay to not react to what the MC is exposed to.
    For now, I think there is a real improvement in dialogue and writing, it's not in any way fantastic, but it also isn't a huge distraction to the game any longer.

    The girls are often insanely hot. Knobb's has always been great at that, but some of them... just yummy.
    The only negative thing I can say about them is that a) some of them look older than they are supposed to be, and b) while it looks great, obviously, it is kind of jarring that they all dress insanely sexy. Blouses open up to almost midriff, shorts and skirts that show every thing, micro-bikinis...
    There's nothing wrong with dressing sexy, especially in a porn game, but it really is a bit much here. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes showing only a tantalizing bit of skin is way hotter than plain near-nudity.

    The story is by now pretty standard, young guy gets taken in by a "landlord" and her family, all the women he encounters are insanely hot and openly or secretly lust after him.
    Nothing innovative, but you know, if done hot, if done sexy, it doesn't need to be.
    As I find myself constantly wanting these women, what do I care about the story being nothing new, right?

    What I must applaud is the huge variety in type, sure, they all have killer bodies, but the many different haircuts, hair colours and styles, that's great.
    It's not just 15 times the same face and body, with a different wig. :)
    And I love Charmaine, I absolutely love her. And I want her mom as well.

    I am very much looking forward to more, and I have only one fear for now.
    The previous game started out way better than it ended as well. It was just the MC having lots of fun with lots of hot girls.
    Then all that went away, and we were stuck with three love interests (one of which was completely out of left field) and all the other girls were blocked.
    This could still happen here, I hope it doesn't, but I admit, I am a bit wary of it.

    Mr Knobb is a bit polarizing.. that's the only way I can figure out why there are 1 star reviews.. Even if it were written in Engrish the renders and animations alone should give this one two or three stars.. With that being said I really like this.. it's bookmarked and when it gets updated it goes to the top of the que. A decent story that reveals more information as it goes on.. couple with those gorgeous renders makes this one a must read/watch. Hell the car the MC drives is worth one star.. In a nutshell just a good body of work coupled with some of the best renders on site.

    I started playing again after a long time and I must say that starting over, I was able to better appreciate the story.
    The animations are great, I have to say they are way above the average of other games of the same type.
    The images especially of the milfs are appropriate and you can see the age differences between the various models especially the younger ones. Definitely to play. Good luck for the rest ;-)

    Review EP6

    I really wanted to like this game, but i cant.
    The story is just bad, if you skip it and want a fap game. it decent. but If i wanted that i would watch porn.

    What's wrong with the story:
    Your(caretaker) leaves you and you get the worst start at life and are now in a dead-end job, trying to save for college. oke so far so good. Now she comes back and wants you in her life, she will pay for your college but she wants you to babysit her spoiled princes. Fine, it pays your college bills and you don't have to have a relationship with a really shitty caretaker.
    NO. you need to live with them and interact positively with them. (where are my choices in this).
    Now in the last episode(6) it gets even worse for some reason the dev decided for you that you should not only forgive and be friendly but have a (sexual) relationship with her! No choice if you wanted to sleep with her or not! sorry if you're doing a game like this, I would like the kinetic tag. because your choices don't feel like they matter at all. It's more do you want some more scenes with girl A or girl B., not really a choice-driven game here.

    For what concerns the side girls, so far you can choose if you want to visit them or not. so they are not forced on you, for the most part.

    But be aware, if you choose to go for one and you see something you don't like then you will be forced to go that route.
    For example: Charmane, you see her at shool and she feels too good to talk to you out in public. In the closet scene, I was done with her and let her leave. A few episodes later the mc visits her and says, oke I don't mind (i would never do that in a million years) and a sex scene if you wanted it or not, you are on her path for good or bad.

    So in conclusion: this game may not have the kinetic tag but every meaningful choice is already made for you and a bad story leaves me with a nasty taste.
    So 1 star, good skip fap material you get 1 start for it.

    Fantastic game! Excellent animations which just keep getting better and better as you progress through the game. Gameplay is quite straightforward with some choices to be made here and there. Art is top-notch with some very hot girls. Definitely worth playing.

    Unexpected Error

    Pros +
    Good Renders,and that's where it ends.

    Cons - everything else.

    The writing is horrible and serves every cliché you can think of. Mc finds every woman hot no matter her age, size or IQ, as long as it has tits, it's fine and the MC makes sure to get on your nerves with his thoughts about that. "She is so hot and sexy" ect. - well, please let me decide for myself if someone is hot or not.

    2/5
    If you just want to fap, go on could be fun for you.
    if you want a good read (or a meaningfull read) search somewhere else.
    I lost interest after 5 minutes into the "story".

    Cheers

    One of the best AVNs that I've played so far.

    Normally I prefer incest impregnation/corruption themes. But this one is like actually going to an immersive theater and LIVING through this guy's life!

    Renders and Graphics are all 100%!!! Beautiful girls and women. Not always to my preference, but most ARE. Gorgeous redheads throughout.

    Also nice to have a semi-linear plot with some branches. Most choices are trivial, but they either advance the story, or skip over parts, depending upon your timing of when to assert yourself.

    Plenty of sex from early on. But not overwhelming amounts, just the right ratio to plot to keep us interested, without becoming an endless orgy. Lots of "can you help me pick a sexy outfit" scenes with various women. They even fight over you. :cool:

    A few odd twists. Also, not the way that I would have approached the Intro, but still great writing and drama. It helps build the foundation for the "Big Reveal" that really is kind of a flop.

    MC doesn't really care, even though Aunt is heavily emotionally invested. It makes the beginning of their story seem odd with her aloof coldness toward MC. But is a plausible twist in the story, IF you chose correctly up until then...

    Also, GREAT animations and backstories to explain the girls' preferences and personalities, and how to approach them in the choices which you are offered. Who to push, who to allow to take the lead, etc.

    This game has the prettiest, most well done women of all games I have played with. Story is ok, I realy like the MC, unlike Jensen in the previous game. Although not many crucial choices still the game has quite a bit of branching for the different characters. It is a solid game and thatxcomes from someone who did not like RTP. I am really sorry that so many people write bad reviews or this, because it is there on the top with all other AAA NSFW games. The animations are on the best, comparable NLT Media quality, really don't understand how people could say they are average...I really hope this games gets finished as well, sincerely rooting for the dev. Oh, and MrKnobb, don't take the crap you get from members here to heart, you do a great job.

    So far so good.

    Story and dialog are a bit conventional.

    But omg, awesome job made on renders and animations.

    The mystery on MC's(super)nature is kinda exciting (we are in chapter 4).

    The MC's look is still kinda disappointing, I mean, he's not ugly, but omg these glass are really bad on him.

    In the end, if not perfect, but it's still a diamond and you make huge and awesome job on renders and animated scenes.

    Keep the good work, one of the best animations we found in a game here on f95.

    Good Points
    + Art/Render quality and style looks good.
    + We have animations and they are average.

    Bad Points
    - Font looks awfull, i have to look character screen for reading some of characters name because they are not readable via normal font! LMAO
    - General quality can use some work, they just looks little bit better than average but they can be lot better.
    - Animations needs a lot of work. Better physics (there is even scenes MC's head goes another women head texture while we are watching sex animation and its looks weird) is most important improvement we lack i gues and secondly quality improve could be good. While renders looks good animations looks little bit worse than them.
    - Some of girls/women looks pretty unattaractive and espacily their face can use some change.
    - This game have one of worse main menu design's i have ever seen in my life... And oh god... What is wrong with that sound when you click and menu? LMAO
    - There is a lot of scene dont make any sense at all and literaly poorly writed like no tomorrow. Best example is Samara's kissing scene and what happened just couple seconds before i gues?
    - Useage of MC's potencial love interests in story and their character development is awful...

    For The End
    Oh well... I was waiting average game but it turns out terrible... What can i say? While it looks like have potencial our game executes that potencialy poorly... Which results this thing...

    Great renders, models, sexy scenes (the scenes are really, really sexy), and a good supernatural story .


    I was initially weary of this game because of the presence of voyeur scenes and the LI who's in love with MC but is in a relationship with another guy and on top of that, flaunting that relationship in front of MC, etc.


    If you look past that and don't need all girls to be dick virgins(there are some), this is a gem of a game.


    I wish the game didn't have the questionable stuff, as it's being overlooked by a lot of people because of this.


    I'd say give the game a try, even if you hate some of the things in it. The rest of the game makes it worth your time.

    Otherguy2012

    It is a great game. The first 5 minutes might throw you off a bit(based on some of the thread talking about the game),but it the intro to the MC's shitty life. Not the story being told about how it all changes for the better.
    It is a harem game to be sure. If you like MILF's you will love it,if you do not you will love it. How? Because skipping out on a milf usually means you are going to bang someone else(most often not a milf but a fellow college student)....
    The story. We are not that far into it. We have learned the MC travels between dimensions of space time and certainly has "powers",but the MC himself is only now starting to understand even a little. The MC is unaware,but he is being hunted for sure.

    Great setup(my opinion),fun game,fantastic renders and sound. I will be playing this again and following it through development. Thank you dev

    Spoiler warning: MC is biggest creep and sexual predator in any VN I've played so far.
    Seriously, if there's a woman in front of him, doesn't matter where, store, train station, school, church, space station, coffee bar or somewhere else, he'll stare like a complete freak with no regards for privacy, respect or anything.

    Anyone's a fair game. A woman in a shower. Respect option is to peak and stare. Don't even want to think what actual "Look" option would do.

    The reason it's 3 stars and not lower is because the models are good looking and SOME of the conversations are actually interesting. The rest is just MC staring at any woman he sees and blindly accepting whatever is told to him.

    I expect this guy to end up in prison on sexual charges sooner or later, probably sooner.

    SirAlexander111

    Great renders with everything else below par. Some of the characters behaving unlike their personality, okayish animations. Sci fi story involving a 22yr old dude invited or forced to stay with her previous adopter, a sexually frustrated middle aged women, who has a daughter and a gorgeous asian maid (one of the only few likeable characters). You can skip the story and stop at any random scene you'll get the idea of what has happened so it's pretty bland.
    Seems like voyeuristic scenes are going to plague this one, which by the way are skippable so there's that. I'm looking forward to see how the mc is gonna shape his future.

    I want to start off by saying that I really enjoyed the previous DEV game, unfortunately, it forced us to have to choose between 3 beautiful and lovely girls. But the evaluation is about EA, not RtP.

    So let's start with the bad part, let's criticize the game that is many, but somehow they are still not something that prevents me from considering the game as a good game... with the potential to be excellent... (If those two opening scenes didn't exist... hahaha it was already 5 stars.... play)

    1- As many have commented the dialogues between the characters are often terrible, sometimes I caught myself pressing the Ctrl, I mean it seems that whenever he will talk to a new person starts " has that woman..." and that's annoying, better to skip to not be so repetitive like I know the person there does not know his story and such, but we as "readers" we already know and we've heard him tell that story other times.

    2- Still kind of about dialogues, is it true that every time he is going to have something with someone he has to ask why him? Face I know the MC is ugly as fuck the way it is now and that glasses do not help at all (perhaps in myopia), stop for the love of God to be stupid, as they say, given horse does not look at the teeth.

    3- The evolution of this guy is really slow, we are already on the fourth episode and the guy is still a fucking coward, in some moments we see some glimpses of a Man inside him, but most of the time he behaves like a coward and pervert who has never seen a girl, despite the many beautiful women around him (further down I will talk about this), he still always seems to go into robot mode repeating those annoying pervert monologues "oh my god, an ass, what a girl like, oh how I would like to touch it". Hoping that at some point he gains some dough and improves both visually and this personality coward perverted shit (fingers crossed).

    EDIT: 4- I forgot to mention the main factor of me walking away from the game on the first release of this game. VOYER, these scenes turned me away from this game because they are the bad kind of Voyer, where we see some of our main girls having sex with other people, Samata who would be one of the best girls for love interest ends up being ruined by this scene in the alley, like not only the fact that she is having sex but like, she even ends up with a big face ahegao which says that she loved it and is very happy with her boyfriend, although in the bio it says that she doesn't see him as a future husband and has a "secret love". that probably is the MC, and soon after all this (her fucking madly with her boyfriend) she offers a kiss on the mouth of the MC, which for me completely killed her there, but then we still see that she dresses like a slut because her boyfriend likes her to walk like that which ended up covering the coffin, for me the DEV can leave her like this now, friend and nothing more. The other scene, the scene of the aunt (Anne) is more acceptable, at least this one had a message to pass (that she doesn't have sex with men and doesn't accept that they touch her in sexual relations). Although DEV has improved the second one by making it optional to watch or not and now if we avoid watching we don't have to bump into BBC, the first one still happens the same way being optional to watch or not plus it still happens and Samata still offers the "kissy" pos sex to MC, and I couldn't see any message there but that she despite looking like a sweet and nice girl is a slut that is willing to fuck anywhere and the whole kissing thing I kind of take for cuckold thing and such (of course MC is nothing of her nor feel anything loving for her and is more something friendly between them, but the whole thing of fucking a guy and after finishing want to kiss another, leaves me all that NTR thing, like fuck the bull and go kiss the cuckold). The result, Samata died as a love interest for me, Anne is still ok.


    5- I want to make it clear that this point is kind of questionable and I can edit it in the future. I don't know why Andrea and Tania are the two girls (according to DEV) who might be the only ones considered LI here, like, seriously, are girls taken from another game somehow more interesting than the ones in this game? Like, my favorite girl right now is Adriana, beautiful, hot, and sweet. If it was the case of RtP where it was necessary to choose one for the end, at that moment for sure she was my choice without thinking too much. Tania, on the other hand, is our beloved Jensen's leftover the highest point this MC can reach? I played RtP and she to me was the girl more supporting possible, besides not being so beautiful against the others still weighs the fact that it is... as they say... second sloppy, where we already saw her fucking and know her love for Jensen (at least those who played RtP know), so for me she was not interested in the other game, this is even worse, Andrea is still acceptable since besides her being much prettier (of course it goes with the person's taste) there is still the fact that she was not sexually exploited in the last game (at least that I remember), she also confesses that she had a crush on Jensen, but it was also less explicit than Tania. So if these two girls are the pinnacle of this MC where these two can be considered "girlfriends" even if he is having fun with the others, if, in the end, we end up with only one of those two, I give up on this DEV, for good.

    I believe that these are the points that most drew my attention negatively, now let's go to the good things.

    1- My heavenly father, what a hot woman is this? Anne and Gabriela rose in my rank of milfs with inflation here in the country where I "survive"... hahaha... Adriana, Daniela, Summer, and my dear Asami (I love this naughty girl), in short, it is a juicy menu of beautiful girls. Too bad some of them were burned in some moments like Samata, who seemed like a nice girl, sweet and worried with the MC, but she was "burned". In that alley scene where she was fucked relentlessly by her boyfriend ending with ahegão, which implies that she loved it, so she's fine as a friend, but I lost all interest in her, unfortunately, because she was pretty and looked like she really liked the MC (in her bio it's said that she has a secret love for someone and I'd bet all my chips on the MC). But ta good, has many other tasty to harness still, fingers crossed for DEV not destroy any more of my delights.

    2- The sex scenes are incredible, sometimes the MC and the girls go into Flash mode, but they are still very good quality.

    3- The graphics alone are incredible, so I'm just mentioning it for the record.

    4- The story is something that struck me, all the mystery behind the "abilities" of the MC (we already know this is the same universe as RtP, so we know people can have some incredible gifts), like who the MC's mother is, why she abandoned him because "she was different" (last sentence from MC's father to Anne, before the accident), sometimes the DEV forges too much of MC's story and wastes too much time on things like oiling and choosing clothes, but I understand that he wants to gain some time so the game doesn't finish quickly, after all, he has a good story here and can earn some money with it, so...



    5- This point is about DEV itself and not precisely about EA, but it's worth pointing out here. I like when DEV interacts with his fans, followers, supporters, and such, of course, some comments have nothing to add and are destructive criticism without anything to add and not present something for DEV can improve your game, but the constructive criticism should be taken into account, YES, and that's why I want to praise @MrKnobb for listening, even if he does not agree with these criticisms, but at least he listens and answers why he disagrees. And when I say that constructive criticism should be considered I always remember the acknowledgments of George R.'s books. R. Martin when he thanks his editors, where he refers to the "details" as demons and their editors and proofreaders as guardian angels, I see many "guardian angels" here on this forum, showing some point where DEV got lost and how he could do better, pity some DEV are very ignorant and unwilling like MrKnobb, so this is a big point for this guy and consequently for the game.


    Hopefully, at some point (an update or two), I will come back here to add the next star and delete some negative reviews and add some more positive ones. The game is very good and is still walking... so I highly recommend this game.

    And disregard the English mistakes, do not speak English, and use a translator to communicate on this forum.

    This game is average at best. It could be a premium game but no...

    1: The MC is F ridiculous. How are we supposed to recognize ourselves in him? Lack of confidence but girls are just dropping like flies for him... come on that's not females that's males behavior. Sometimes he makes move that are interesting and fun but that's very rare.

    2: The girls are really beautiful and animations are greats. This is a very high level of work. My only remark will be i wish we had some diversity on body build. They are always very big butt and very big breasts. Personally i like it but i know for facts there is people out there who despise bimbos!

    3: The story is the weak point of this game there is none. We see a very little thin glimpse of something perhaps weird and unexpected but that's it. A part of the relation between the caregiver and the MC , and the daughter everything is bland and dull. You met a girl, you speak 1 or 2 word and hop! Already a date in your pocket! Same, you show your dick and hop! A sex scene! WOW that's some impressive script! The story is a 1 star quality...

    4: Sounds are ok but the have the merit to exist so that's good!

    5: Not really a whole point but i think the skin texture is really great in this game, i whish more game has this quality of graphics! There is some effort to make good liquid texture but that's more delicate...

    That's all for me. If the story is reworked and the dialogues, this game has potential for high end tier. But actually i was pretty bored and stayed only for the graphic quality.

    I’ve really enjoyed the game so far. The characters and renders all look amazing and I feel that the story has a whole lot of potential. But do have a few complaints. Being the MCs skin tone. He looks yellow and add on the fact that he’s a twig, he looks like he has some sort of terminal illness. Maybe make the MCs skin and body look more healthy since it looks like he’s been lacking the proper nutrition for years and is sick due to it. Hopefully from the training the MC does with Andi will help him look more lean, healthy and not like a twig - hopefully the MCs appearance will change the more he trains with Andi. I also think the MCs height should be remembered. He tells the doctor he’s 6’6, but then a bunch of male and female characters all are at eye level with him when being 6'6 is much taller than the average man and woman. When we meet Rob, he looks to be taller than the MC, but Robs bio says that he’s 6’4 so he should be shorter than the MC.

    I’m not 100% sure if the game is based in the US, another country or its own world, but if it’s based off the US, the meeting with the cop lady wouldn’t make much sense legally. Double jeopardy prohibits anyone from being held on trial for the same crime twice aka the 5th amendment of the US constitution. I’m not sure if it is the US or not, but this could have been just to introduce a new character, to tell a story from the MCs past about how got the scar, or the game is its own world and double jeopardy has no validity and we will see the cop again harassing the MC.

    I’m looking forward to what the fantasy tag will lead to. So far we know that the MC heals quickly and doesn’t really feel any pain. We also saw early on when the MC gets a call from a lady to tell him his apartment is being sold and he has to move out, she said that “even over the phone his pull is so strong”. We see this reoccurring throughout the story where everyone seems interested in the MC kinda like he produces some sort of pheromones that attracts people to him without him knowing. We also see how when he went to help summer with Brad and he gets headhunted, he licks the blood off of his lip and his eyes flash red. We see this again after visiting Gabi. He falls asleep and again, his eyes flash red and then we see a dream with a woman who tells the MC she is his. And finally at the end of the current update, we see the MC spread out his arms, his eyes and mouth glow red while it sounds like some ancient power takes over his body and yells. I’m really interested in what this leads to and would like to see the story focus more on this and how the MC develops who he is.

    I read mention of how the MC is a doormat to be walked over by people but I don’t see it that way. He stood up for Summer and got back up after he was knocked down. If he was just some pansy he would’ve ran away after getting hit to the ground but he got back up and later started taking lessons from Andi for self defense. Ive also read mention of how the MC starts questioning the woman around him about why they’re with him and how that makes him a beta. Listen to what the MC says. He has never had any female attention so now with amazing looking characters suddenly dropped in his lap like a gift from god, he’s confused as hell but he still takes advantage of the situation instead of ignoring the woman around him and starts relationships with them. People also think this because Rob stepped in when the MC was corned by Brad and his friend. I think that this was just for the story to introduce an ally for the MC that from reading Robs bio, is a very loyal and trustworthy friend to have so maybe in later chapters he will play a big part.

    The game can definitely go to 5 stars if there’s just minor problems. I want to see the MC become less of a twig that looks like he’s constantly sick and look more lean and muscular from the training with Andi. A game that did something like this is “Love of Magic” where the MC has been doing physical training and Droid (the dev) updated the MC to look more muscular due to the training. I think this would make a lot of people happy since the MC really does look like he has some kind of terminal illness. We know that something paranormal/fantasy aspect is going on with the MC. I hope we learn a lot more about what that is and the MC starts to learn the power he has since no normal person starts levitating with a glowing mouth and eyes. We know something is up with him from the phone call regarding his apartment so there’s background characters who know something we don’t but I hope that the story starts focusing more on the fantasy aspect.

    :love: I love this game it has a great story Renders and animations and music at times but not all the time and I think well placed. Also, the big plus for me is that it has sex sound effects such as moaning still waiting for butt slapping sounds or did I miss that slurping is ok, not great but hey I love having sex sound effects so huge plus for me. I wish the patch would make the girls you live with Mom and Sister instead of Aunt and cousin but it will do soz for being fussy. I will when I can support this game as it has almost everything I want in a game. The only thing missing for me but I don't think will be added is Transgender but I know it's not for the vast majority so I doubt it will become a thing even so I love the game.
