VN - Ren'Py - Alternate Existence [S2 v2.4.0] [MrKnobb]

Fantastic VN. The characters are very well built. And the story is also good. This VN has lot of potential only one thing the dev should consider is the graphics quality though they are getting better with the updates. Hope this VN will get better and better with everything. Keep up the good work dev .

This game is at best a 3 star. It's just the same thing that has been done countless times before. It's the typical "someone comes back into your life after a decade" story. She even has the protypical daughter who immediately starts calling you a pervert. The writing is mediocre at best and none of the characters are likeable. This will go right into the --please forget you ever read this file in my brain. The renders were the only saving grace of the entire novel and they are the only reason I don't give it a 1 star review.

This is just a fuckfest, the renders are really nice but the plot is very weak; all the LIs have the same personality: sluts that are enchanted by the miraculous MC dick without a bit of romance whatsoever. If you like mindless sex just for...reasons... try it, i wouldn't recommend it.

Got to love all the players review bombing the game because they don't like one thing or don't get choices with some girls. The author states on the OP that the game is very linear. The game is essentially a kinetic visual novel.

The game is excellent from start to finish! The writing is well done and the story is interesting and engaging.

There is lots of sex in the game as well as a compelling story. The sex scenes are animated and done well.

The plot does take a long time to get going as far as the "Alternate Existence" part of the story goes. The player is only given breadcrumbs until the end of version 1.9.0. Until this point, the game plays a lot like a harem with the MC having lots of sex appeal. Due to his alien nature, he gives off a powerful pheromone effect on women. This helps to speed up his sexual relationships and exploits.

I will agree with one common complaint with the game. The MC's real mother abandons him to focus on her career and then says that he is hugely important to his home world and only he can save it. This part of the story makes zero sense! If he is so important why abandon him until he is an adult? Perhaps this will be explained later but the author is going to have to do lots of mental gymnastics in order for this to make any sense.

Overall, I was very impressed with the game and it succeeds on nearly everything as long as you understand that this is a kinetic visual novel.

As long as the lack of choices don't deter you, I highly recommend this game and encourage others to give it a try! I wasn't expecting much based on the recent reviews but I finished the current version and am very grateful that I gave it a try!

====================R E V I E W====================

As per usual, I'm starting this before playing through to current end of content. From what I remember, what little I do, as this game leaves no strong impressions, MC has magic powers that let him heal and is irresistible to women, even through phones? All I know is there's no reason for anyone to like MC, and some lawyer lady, that I don't think is in the story yet, jills off to MC trying to get him to the aunt's(I think?) home. After that all I remember is MC going set piece to set piece getting a bunch of unearned sex. The unfortunate truth is this one is very forgettable. But I guess we'll see as I go through the story. And I know that a lot of the brain dead reviews are people complaining about Samara - A character that not even MC thinks about unless she's on screen - has sex with her boyfriend. And the aunt gets eaten out by a prostitute. Because apparently they can't handle even seeing a girl, that's just pixels on a screen, kissing another girl. Wow. Samara's only claim to fame is she's the first character you meet, and the aunt has androphobia and paid a girl for physical intimacy that she's missing out on. It's probably the best written thing in this forgettable story. I will also say, it's very obvious this was going a completely different direction based on early game dialogue. If memory serves, this was rewritten or something? But yeah, all the terrible "god she's so hot" internal monologuing MC does is telling of how this was supposed to be. And any time there's anything serious or light, you have 18 different camera angles of Anne's(the aunt) body, and a fisheye closeup of her face.(Actually every girl gets the unattractive fisheye) Which is very unflattering. We get it, she has the boob and butt sliders to max, chill. Anyway, it obvious this starts as a mid tier "I have a checklist of all the porn tropes, let's get that patreon money" type game, then rewritten to that,but with a boring story that never returns to whatever they're hinting at.

Usually, I try to sum up the story in the next few paragraphs. But beyond "MC can heal fast and women are attracted to him." The story is "If a girl has a name, you will sleep with her just for existing." Nothing happens, MC travels room to room and girls lick the tip of their finger and want sex. They hint at him being an alien but wow cool, it's usually 3-10 lines out of an entire chapter. So here's the notes as I took them:

Samara supposedly has a history with MC but it isn't elaborated on and she's all but forgotten about later on
You don't even see when MC is attacked and he comments on the girl he "saves" from the train but you're not shown her face until way later
MC tries to turn down Anne's offer essentially to keep something familiar, which is one of the two believable parts of this script
Asami is a bit of a racist japanese stereotype insert and I don't get why she's even in the story
The dialogue is boring and somehow feels a bit clinical. It's just kinda stale.
The clothes Anne buys MC go from orange shirt with jeans... To white shirt with jeans? Wow, such an improvement.
The first "choice" is do you want red head or "...punk" girl. Then go on the same date with both of them. They both even essentially say they're into older guys? Essentially saying, you're not my type but your magic makes me like you. Then give you a reassuring thumbs up.
Then the next choice is the same thing only between a mom and her daughter. They have a fake tech problem and even say the same things to MC.
Honey saying she likes his skin tone when it's green and yellow is laughable
The self deprecating lines the dev puts in to try to placate the player for sub par renders isn't cute. "The scene you're seeing is worthy of a magazine cover" Then all the trees in the back look like cardboard cutouts over a 256x256 texture on the ground is lazy.
All the girls talk about this ethereal feeling when MC is around, you know, something that literally can't be portrayed to the reader? So No one likes him for more than his wizard powers. Cool.
Every girl does this "Don't think I'm a slut but I'm a total slut" thing and I don't care if someone is like that, cool whatever, it's just that ALL of them do it. The only difference is hair color and face shape. I guess the minor difference is big boobs that look fake or massive boobs that look fake. All the food groups represented? Sure.
You meet too many characters too fast. They all act the same, and there's never a point to anything. Meaningless sex and everyone not wanting people to know they're with MC. If it was told well with maybe up to three LI's sure, it could be okay. But there's just so much going on, but nothing's actually happening.
It's an accomplishment to make a sex game this boring. Yes, sex is happening, yes, some of its appealing. But all MC did was say hi. I guess I will say this is one of the few games that have animations at a speed that doesn't look like everyone is stuck in molasses.
The Summer story is dumb too, "Grr, I'm mad you exist because... reasons? Leave." Meanwhile MC, with no agency in anything, had no real choice not to be there and hasn't done anything. That tired old trope. And his argument? How can you be beautiful and annoying? Be abrasive but still compliment her... Okay.
And since posing a face is actual work, she doesn't even look mad, just botoxed to eternity.
Then Danielle and Adrianna, yet again, the same story, randomly met on the street and are in the same class, wow. Really putting those writing skills to work...
"What do you do for fun?" MC's amazing reply: "Nothing." Wow. What a catch.
Dean Anal.. Anel, has fish eyes without the lense...
Andrea "You remind me of asparagus, does that explain it?" "Yes" NO. NO IT DOES NOT. Nevermind the fact she just licked blood out of his nose, but that is the worst line of dialogue I've ever heard.
And Tania's route is almost the same, "Let me help you, we can't hang out long, but let me try on clothes for you." Zero effort. And since DAZ clothing all act like skintight bodysuits, the sex appeal turns into more comedy than anything. And his reaction to everything "Wow." or "You're hot" fun.
Amber: Camgirl that acts weird. Nothing of note to be said.
Magda is the story component but appears for half a conversation after chapter 4 then nothing happens.

So, once again, I'm leaving this game with no impression left on me. I'll take a stab at the story: MC is the son of an alien or interdimensional being and the more sex he has, the stronger he gets. It's why he likes the stars, that was poorly expressed as he only talks about it twice. And he probably has royal blood because being anything less than a king would be too demeaning. The English... Feels weird. I don't know how to put it, there's a bunch of spelling mistakes, and it feels stiff. But there's also something that just rubs me the wrong way, I'm sorry I can't articulate it better. The UI is fully customized, it looks a little "Early 2000s scifi" But it's not bad, though the hidden away buttons don't do any favors. The UX is fine. It's unbroken, nothing great or bad. The Art is good. The stills are well rendered and are probably carrying this snoozefest. The animations are paced well, but grainy and jittery. But they look alright, unless it's a walk cycle, then they're laughable. The dialogue is stale, MC walks into a room, says hi to a girl, then she's in love. The story is nothing. Everything I've said about the story is me inferring what little I can from alien language and trailed off sentences. This one is not for me, if you want a fap, here ya go.

Nothing pisses me off more than forced chemistry with annoying characters and this game does that a lot. And I don't mean annoying in a poorly written way, they are legit written to be unlikeable characters. The aunt and the cousin who are the main focus of the game are both rich entitled assholes who aren't used to taking no as an answer, the cousin is actively a bitch for no reason at all, literally hates MC just for his existence and the aunt abandoned MC (orphan) when he was 5 and never reached out despite having all the money in the world. I could understand her predicament if he was a bit older,like 12 or 13 but abandoning a 5 year old is not the same as abandoning a 12 year old especially the excuse being one as shitty as "I had to focus on my career, I had to climb the corporate ladder", that's makes you an inherently shitty person in my book and you can see why being forced to like such a person can be extremely offputting to players. Also when she finally reaches out it's not because of some guilt or anything but it's because she needed someone to babysit her spoiled little bitch.

Atleast in the beginning of the game MC has some sort of reservations towards the characters but it all goes down the drain within the first 5 minutes of the game when MCs hormones overpower his IQ. MC's thoughts are mostly comprised of how hot every girl he meets is, you as a player are given no choice over it, you are forced to find LIs attractive even when they aren't. There isn't any option to indicate that MC isn't interested in someone, there is only an option to "act respectfully or give in to his feelings"

Also I'm convinced that the writer is a closetted cuck, the most likeable LI in the game is already in a relationship and there are also voyeur scenes of LIs getting dicked down, which you can only opt out of seeing, not avoid them from happening at all. Look, I'm not one of those people who want every LI to be untouched virgins but atleast wait before we as a player decide not to pursue them before watching them being piledrived through the screen. I'm pretty sure if there was an orgy in the game MC would be the last one on the line waiting his turn. Watching others fuck seems to be a common theme in this game.

Coming to the MC, he seems to be a massive pushover, a beta male in all aspects. He has no self confidence or self respect whatsoever. In his first encounter with an LI in University he says something like "beautiful girls never bother with someone like me that's why I didn't say hi", that should tell you all about the MC. Even his superpowers mostly comprised of him taking as much shit as he can until his attackers tire out. Feels like the writer really projected all his insecurities into the character.

The writing is also kinda meh, story is not unique, it's an amalgamation of every "orphan MC turns out to be the chosen one" story, dialogues are cringe, Lis are meh.

Only good thing I can say about the game is that the visuals are good, and they use animation presets which make it kinda bearable.

All in all, trash game, would not recommend.

Great game. If you're delicate and require anything and everything to be completely optional like some people around here, you might not enjoy it entirely, but this game is fantastic for what it is.

This game has extremely hot renders and gorgeous models. The story isn't deep but it's not a story-focused game. You could just download it for the gallery, but you will miss out on some very hot renders.

Renders are good
sex scenes are good
Lot of woman
Story is not bad
sex scenes are with sound
No bugs
Last update was quite a long update Everytime i think the game is gonna end it went further
Looking forward to next chapter

Ok, after trying the game I can finally give my opinion. I admit that I haven't even reached the end of the last update (1.9.0): in this genre, nothing kills the fun more than being forced to have relationships with annoying characters. I don't give a damn that the story requires it, because if it does, the story sucks, and making the scenes skippable but not avoidable is just an excuse to cover up the writer's laziness or incompetence. Some may have no problem empathizing with a slutty protagonist ready to fuck anything that is thrown at him, but others have standards and self-respect. If you belong to the first category and you like playing the bitch in this fuckfest, have fun.
If you belong to the latter, avoid the annoyance and frustration of not having available choices that matter.

I got very bad vibes right from the start - two forced voyeurism scenes (you can only choose watch or not, but it happens anyway).
- Scene in a park is just awful and disgusting. I mean. I can tolerate that LIs have BFs in a game, they are not virgins all the time, I get it. But the way it was put, it ruined her character totally, made me sick, and it really gives some cuckish vibes.
- Second scene (FF) is tolerable, but, unfortunately for me I am not a fan of lesbian content either.
Anyway, what have we got: forced routes and scenes and awful character development.
I think developer made his point right from the start, so yeah...
Peace.

v1.8.0

Can't even bring myself to make a proper review.

Forced routes.
Horrible characters.
Days of our Lives level scenes.

I had to stop before I hit the end of the version it was so annoying. Just download the gallery mod and save yourself the waste of time.

- Kind of broken English. Not terrible but enough to be distracting.
- Some character models look good, others not so much, and Summer looks disgusting
- I wish the text was bigger. Gotta strain my eyes to read it which makes the broken English even more annoying.
- Also just kind of boring. The stale dialogue and ambience make me feel like it's going to be a sandbox and I'll be free to do my own shit at some point like I'm just waiting for the boring preamble to end to actually "play the game". I don't think this is a sandbox so that means the boring preamble IS the game.

Look, I'm not one of those pretentious cunts on this site that say "I just play these kinds of games for the stories". I know what I'm here for at the end of the day and you know what I'm here for at the end of the day.
Sure, I love it when these games actually have a good story that draws me in but if writing isn't your strong suit just don't stress it so much and make it a full-on fap game. Too many devs these days don't want to be called shallow or whatever for doing that but that just ends up with mediocre stories that no one enjoys. If you can't write, that's cool. Focus on your strengths.

This game is underrated and deserves 4+ rating imo. I adjusted my expectations for this game and I was content at the end of 1.8.
The setting is cliche like any other daily-life harem game. The plot is not the focus right now and feels like a side thing, main focus is dating sim and harem build up upto this point in development. MC has supernatural qualities which turns him into a womanizer with a twist of dev's creativity. The standard package for a harem game I should say.
Renders and models are very good.
Girl variety is good though a bit cliche. Though I should mention nearly all of them are attractive and sweet in their own way, like you would include every one of them in your harem. Relationships are a bit shallow though as girls are numerous and dev can't get them all the screen time needed.
Sound is satisfactory, both ambient and lewd.
The dialogue is concise and on point, nothing bloated which is a thing I like for these type of games.

Verdict: It is very likely that you've played games similar to this one before. So don't bother if you crave originality and a good story. But sometimes we want to chill and watch/read something familiar with a decent quality. For its own subcategory of linear harem games, the developer did a good job and added his twist for a better taste. For those who seek what I just described this game offers good time, just like John Wick offers "cliche" but pure quality action. You will get it simple but good.

Big fan. Don't overthink it. Tons of hot Instagram-model tier ladies who are all attracted to your clearly super dick. Very fun romp, a few laughs here and there, doesn't take itself seriously. Pure VN with some branching choices of a few girls (can download a mod to see multiple routes but you might miss some stuff), minimal bugs, but wears its heart on its sleeve.

I personally LOVE a good harem VN/game and the models as of 1.8 look greatly improved since launch (though the launch models are still totally hot and playable, just always great to see a 3d artist improve as time passes). Everyone needs a good escape/power fantasy. That's what you get here. Minimal drama, just fucking in lots of positions.

If you like big tits/asses, seductive hotties drooling over your dick in a harem situation, play this now. Tons of content as of the latest release, you're still constantly getting introduced to more hot ladies, and the dev does what I love and just lets them dress hot as hell in different outfits constantly seducing the living fuck out of MC.

So this is another one of those VNs where the MC is an orphan with a mysterious past and may have powers and comes to live with a va-va-voom MILF in her Manhunter (1986) style house with her bitchy-hot daughter and the MILF notices that the MC has a huge penis and decides to give him a car and a motorcycle and he goes to University and a hot girl teaches him self-defense and there are several scenes in ice-cream parlours, women's clothes shops, and poolside... One of those, you know?

The whole thing is really silly. The dialogue is so mundane, so trivial that you're better off ignoring it entirely, just let it wash over you. There are lots of decisions, basically determining who the MC has sex with, so a mod is recommended to not miss anything. Why the hell am I giving this three stars?

Well, the erotic scenes are really well done, and there are many of them. There are many skilful animations. And there is a kind of garishness to the artwork, the colour and composition, that I find refreshing. With many of these VNs the renders suffer from being too sterile. This is the opposite... if anything, it needs to be hung out in the sun to dry a little. Seriously, everyone has a kind of oily sheen, like touching any of the characters would be like putting your hand in a bowl of freshly extracted watermelon seeds. It's definitely a rare, if not unique feel to the artwork.

Taste time, but I really don't like the look of most of the women. They're not so much ugly as really garish. I mean they are adorned like they're from a Conan novel, piercings, tattoos, elaborate jewellery. It's on the verge of fetishistic. Not my thing at all, but if it's your thing, well then, you will have a lot of fun. The MILF is the most restrained in this, which makes me very happy.

Games like this make me think, "man, if I had the talent and rig I would do so much better." Yeah yeah yeah, devs have heard that all before. Three stars. But the Goth girl with the piercings... I'd be terrified to go to bed with her. It'd be like having sex with a roll of barbed wire.

Beautiful graphics, beautiful girls, nice and original sceneries (except for that place in the park with a tunnel, seen that park in most VN games here), and an interesting back story.

I like the build up of most girls, getting to know them before fucking them.

Only problem I had, was that the end of v1.8, that I need to wait for the next update. The background story is getting more and more interesting.

And now we have to wait for the next update, and no clue yet if he gets his girlfriend back, or why he had to choose, can't we just have them all ?

Underrated game, the renderings and models are very good, there is a nice variety of characters and the story seems interesting so far.
The only thing I don't like is the gallery, it's structured in a weird way, with a scene splitted in several replays.

This is probably one of my favorite games I've played in the last year or two, the story is very interesting, the rendering, models, game quality are perfect, there are a lot of MILF, and the animation art effects inside make it very enjoyable!

Pros.
Excellent rendering
Super high quality graphics
Perfectly smooth animation art effects
Interesting story content
Sexy MILF

Disadvantages.
To be honest there are really not many cons to this game, maybe version 1.7 has some bugs that I am not too happy with

Well done game. COnsidering his previous work, I was a bit... leery about this one. Not that his previous work was bad, just didnt stand out. This is much much better. Yes its harem, so if that bothers you, don't play it. Yes the MC has magic dick syndrome, if that bothers you, don't play it (though to be fair here, there actually seems to be something "magical about the guy").

There is a lack of agency here as many scenes are unavoidable, and many of the LIs have no choices surrounding them, but considering its a harem game and the LIs at issue are all very desirable, i had no issue, but YMMV here depending on how you feel about them.

The renders are generally well done. The animations are extremely ambitious. Most are extremely well done. Some, however, are very "jumpy," some are overly sped up and some have some significant clipping. I give some of this a pass though since what he's trying to do is well beyond the ability or ambitions of other lesser devs. The only real complaint here that i have isnt really a problem per se. Some of his animations have a moving or jittery camera viewpoint. This give me and others with motion sickness issues a bit of nausea. Most are fine with it though.

This is not a perfect VN, but its ambitions push me to give it a 5* rating though its really more a 4.5*. Good job dev

I played many games on this site but this game has the best animations I have seen. Very good renders and a story that is not bad. One of the best games on this site.
A large variety of women, surely everyone will find something for themselves.
