VN - Ren'Py - Alternate Existence [S2 v2.5.0] [MrKnobb]

Version: Season 2, v2.5.0
Score: 2/5

Notes:
I usually dislike AVNs with mandatory love interests but won't take this into account due to the developer's transparency.
The 2/5 score reflects the underwhelming mess this AVN is. There's only one word I can describe it with, and it's “gratuitous”.

TL;DR:
Alternate Existence’s gritty premise and supernatural intrigue (alien portals, lust effect) drown in gratuitous fan service (every LI’s curves trump their personality) and a static MC who’s a manipulative, lustful moron. Superficial dialogue, dropped conflicts, and incoherent scenes make it a slog. Fans of the "big tits" genre might endure, but the unlikable LIs and draft-like writing are soul-crushing.

Gameplay:
Gameplay is standard visual novel fare, with dialogue choices crippled by the kinetic structure. Options like rejecting a cougar’s advances or choosing to respect (or ogle) LIs are overridden by the MC’s scripted perversion, like gawking at every chest despite player input. Choices (peeking at changing rooms, fawning over someone tanning) force fan service, rendering the MC a mindless pawn in his own story.

General:
Alternate Existence follows a 22-year-old MC roped into his aunt Anna’s plan to monitor her party-girl daughter, Summer, for a university education. Supernatural hints (lust effect, alien portals, teleportation) and Anna’s scheming had promise, but the game's writing is a train wreck. Sudden plot points (university medical exam and nonsensical legal excuses) lack setup, and all LIs are one-dimensional sex objects. The MC’s vile objectification (perving on every woman with a cleavage, even after he dislikes their personalities or history) and empty scenes (fashion shows, sunscreen slathering) combine in a tasteless and meaningless experience. Marie’s alien reveal, Ja’den’s prophecy, and unresolved plots (Anne & Gigi’s role, Marie/Maggie telling the MC he's homeless) tease intrigue but are buried by unscientific nonsense, racial typecasting (when Summer gets harassed in public, twice), and mystery box overuse. This game's content could be cut by 80%, and nothing of value would be lost.

Adult:
Lewd Interactions:
There's no shortage of lewd scenes and interactions. Nothing too kinky yet. Vaginal, anal, foreplay, threesomes ...
The LIs usually fall into one of two age categories. Either they're about the MC's age, or they're 40+. The story will force you to be with both, so be warned if that's not your thing.
Some scenes have dubious consent, even without taking the MC's inherent lust "echo" into account. There are several instances of women touching the MC while he sleeps when he hasn't been intimate with them yet. And the scene with Marie at the hospital left me disgusted because of how easily the MC gets manipulated just because he gets to stare at big tits. This is a constant, and more on that later.

Other Adult Themes:
Violence (subway beatdown, university scuffle, Summer’s assault) and a suicide attempt add grit but don't amount to anything. Netori hints (Samara's kiss, cinema couple) and predatory LIs (Gabi, Honey, Marie, Anne) can be gross if you're not into that. Every LI’s promiscuous portrayal (Summer’s teasing, Anne's perceived manipulation) reduces them to unlikable objects, with MILFs treating the MC like meat.

Visual:
UI:
Clean but flawed, with pointless sliding behavior of the main menu. The Extras menu (galleries, bios, shoutouts) is solid. The handwritten font (Anna as “Bnne”) is difficult to read.

Characters:
Designs prioritize oversized chests over personality. Summer’s masculine face clashes with her 22-year-old role, and Marie, in her role as a doctor, looks like she's a drag queen. Less exaggerated LIs (like RedLolliPop69 in some scenes) offer some variety, but their chests are still considered large. Again, this is great if that's the thing that gets you off. Personally, I like more variety.
The same can be said for the MC, who sports a monstrous cock. Just not my thing.

Scenes/Renders:
The game's settings (diner, spaceship, pool) are detailed with good environments and posing, but relentless panning shots to LI bodies just get boring.

Animations:
Animations show good body movement but are ruined by poor camera work and ignored physics (sped-up motions look uncanny). Oversized proportions (MC’s penis, LI's breasts) cause clipping, undermining quality. Cartoonish sound effects (slurping) during sex scenes cheapen the experience.

Sound:
Music:
Moody but forgettable, fitting without impact because the dialogue fails to carry the scenes.

SFX:
Basic effects (shower water, cartoonish slurping) are functional but cheap, especially during sex scenes.

Ambient:
Subtle ambient sounds (shower, gym, spaceship) add atmosphere and are well-executed.

Novel:
Synopsis:
The MC, a struggling 22-year-old, is offered a deal by his aunt Anna: she’ll fund his university education if he watches over her troubled daughter, Summer, who’s spiraling into a party-girl lifestyle. After a brutal subway beatdown and saving a girl from a suicide attempt, the MC’s supernatural traits (fast reflexes, rapid healing) emerge. Initially rejecting Anna’s manipulative offer, he’s forced to reconsider when his apartment building is sold, hinting at her orchestrating his predicament.

Narrative:
The game's writing reads like the writer's wish fulfillment fantasy. The MC is a "good guy", he's the knight in shining armor. He's there to help all women. Except... This isn't how it plays out. This guy is the white knight who gets saved by the damsel. The kind of guy who stares at women from a distance because he's too afraid to speak to them. This is a guy who pats himself on the back for not abusing Summer when she's black-out drunk.
Of course, whenever the plot wants him to be something else, then he can rise to any occasion. He'll introduce himself just fine and even manages to give meaningful compliments to complete strangers. His constant objectification of everyone around him makes him a one-note and exhausting character.
The story also demands its characters to be dumb whenever the plot needs to screech to a halt. Anne, an experienced businesswoman with a lawyer on retainer, won't follow up on the MC's legal issues. And the MC becomes clinically retarded whenever a pair of boobs is in front of him (almost constantly). He doesn't wonder why the university needs a medical checkup and why this checkup would include a sperm test. He's just happy he got a blowjob out of it from a hot MILF who later turns out to be the mother he hates. Or 'hated,' she has big tits, so he has to forgive her, or he couldn't fuck her otherwise. Meanwhile, the narrative makes it apparent that something fishy is going on, which the audience notices. We're witnessing the MC walking blindly into a trap because he gets to follow a juicy ass into it, and all we can do is facepalm.
It would've been fine if the MC started off this way and grew into a more balanced person, but this never happens. Worse, everything the MC achieves is because of WHAT he is, not because of WHO he is. His high pain tolerance, rapid healing, and an effect that makes women lust for him are all ingrained. It doesn't require any effort or betterment on his part. He lusts after women and pulls them in without effort. This is a good setup for a game that's unapologetically about porn, but Alternate Existence wants to be more. It also aims to tell an epic sci-fi tale with plot twists and intrigue... And it fails miserably at it.

Quality of Writing:
Dialogue is superficial, mirroring the MC’s thoughts, prioritizing titillation over substance. Inconsistencies (Anne’s backstory, Marie’s lies, Gigi's involvement) and unmotivated actions (MC’s blind trust) read like a draft. Early conflicts (Summer’s protection) are just dropped... With characters being so one-dimensional, they aren't enough to keep me hooked on the overarching story. We're spending time on reading tons of meaningless dialogue. We go on dates and witness sex scenes that add nothing to the story or the MC's growth as a person. We're constantly treading in place until the writer decides that the plot needs to move forward.

Going by AVN standards it does justice to giving the audience what they want; erotic scenes..... in short, a scene viewer. However, for someone looking for game that's immersive and gives you agency over the story it fully fails on that aspect. At some point when the game went on a full 20 min of gameplay without giving me a simple choice, even though the choices are placebo (an illusion of choice), I just couldn't be bothered to care about what happens. The dialogue is so poorly written and funny at the same time. The dialogue of the asian LI (love interest) was more like Jackie Chan from Rush Hour trying to speak English.

Plot wise everything went into a spiral downward.

Don't get me wrong, the start had an interesting premise which got me hooked. More of like a rags to riches story with school elements. However, when you realize that every female throws themselves at you without consequence they all just started to look and feel the same and the story becomes nonsensical. Plus, with a major plot reveal to satisfy the sci fi elements, it strongly pushes you away from caring about the story anymore. I can't recommend this game even though the game features different and a variety Daz Models that other games lack or reuse.

This game has by far the largest number and variety of gorgeous women of any AVN I've played (and I've played all the big ones). AVNs always seem to have MCs with dicks that are comically large, but this game takes it to another level of insanity.

Also, none of the characters are particularly likable. However, the story is pretty interesting and the renders are great. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

TL;DR: Game has an interesting rags to riches, Sci-Fi alien-esq story that will draw you in then decides its not really fond of its own identity and turns into a harem slice of life simulator while the rest of the themes take a backseat. MC is a gigachad, every girl fawns for him, he broods constantly, even though everyones smitten over him and he has everything he could ever want. Speaks like a virgin everytime he sees a nude girl with some corny exclamation even though he swims in pussy, characters randomly get changed physically and personality, and its just mostly spam of seemingly asset animations.

I'm gonna comment on S2 cause I dont feel like making a whole review of S1 + S2, and welp. Beginning of S1 was good, then weird, then alright/goodish. Then S2 start I'm just like "when did the MC become such a bitch?" lol.

Still havent really changed my opinion on that. MC gets way better looking, different model entirely, but for whatever reason we needed his already 18 inch penis to grow to 24 inches. Then even though MC looks better now some of the girls on the new world are just kinda botched looking, it is what it is I guess, but jesus they're rough.

So WHATS WRONG that its a 3 star review. Firstly, Danielle was the shy one, and now she's the most open and free one... Okay, thats different. Next Adrianna was the more open-ish one, less possessive seeming one and she immediately went more conservative and way more possessive even outright jealous. Okay, thats also different. Then MC, oh boy, MC becomes the biggest, cry baby, bitch of a person I've ever seen. He ignores all the old personality he had, he's very selfish to an extent now, he also seems to really brood all the time too. He complains way way more, he's even more dense and its like someone took his balls and ripped them off. IDK WHY.

He got to go to space, his dream, no excitement. He found his mother, just raw hatred towards her, he finds out he has the ultimate thing he obsessed over on earth "Fucking Women" at his disposal, nah he dont really wanna do that either, he wants to be emo as shit instead. He's told about his powers, and how much they can do and what hes capable of. Nah dont really care about that either. He just cares about "losing control" over his life.

Yes the MC that lived under a rich lawyers house that spoiled him rotten, is worried about losing control of his life.... now.... of all times.... Okay.

I almost feel like the MC shoulda been killed in part 1, and "revived" or a new character comes into the picture, or something because it feels like dev took all the structure of the old character, and tried to change it. Old MC was obsessed with Pussy, and that was pretty much it. New MC gets a little bit of responsibility and turns into an edgy emo loser and broods the entire time. Idk man. It's thrown me off so hard. First two episodes are just genuinely bad, in every way to me. All the build up, ended up digging downwards instead. It takes so long to get anything moving too, I dont understand what the purpose of it is. Are we moving forward on the supernatural stuff, or are we staying true to like a harem-bangem-all game. It felt like it stagnated super hard out of nowhere and hardly any progress is being made. Also the Lie the MC tells everyone about where he's been, just absolutely awful. "A cop was after me for a murder I committed when I was a kid that I got cleared on, so I ran to an old friends place to hide from the cop that was trying to re-open the case and question me".... why? Why not "There was a corrupt cop that was involved with the guy I ended up killing in self-defense as a child and I had to go into a protection program until they sorted it out" lol. Just such a slight variation but way more realistic and believable. I hate nitpicking but it is a really bad scripted lie lol.

Theres a lot going for this title, but dev needs to shape it up, massively, we would need some bogus reason for why MC randomly had this change of heart in attitude especially. The first part wasn't the best, dont get me wrong, but it wasn't that bad either. It was a little goofy at times, but still it had its moments. S2 hasn't had really any moments at all, it just feels bland, theres no excitement. Also sigh, I just cant stand when the writing when MC see's a hot girl is like "MOTHER OF GOD, HOLY SHIT!!!!!, WOWW!!!!!, FUCKING HELL!!!!!" for lack of a better word it comes off very virgin lol. For an MC that gets pussy like its on clearance sale, zero game with women just full on cringe speak in the writing. Always makes me die a little inside tbh. All these girls dont question it and have a thing for wanted fugitives I guess lmao.

Its more along the lines of a 2.5/5 than a 3/5, average really is the best way to sum it all up. Characters are forgotten about and randomly re-introduced (Charmane basically didn't exist for practically 95% of the story after being introduced lmao, forgot who Park Girl was too entirely by the time we seen her again) Same with others like Gabriella, god knows what happened to her, or Samara which i think only the NTR guys would be fond of anyhow but she's hardly got screen time either. Too many characters, not enough screen time, especially with how slow the plot is, how long the adult scenes are, etc. Adult scenes are VERY long, and not in the good way its more like still renders for 60-80 scenes with like 4-6 animations mixed in and boatloads of dirty talk. Takes up a lot of the runtime unironically, which most people would be fine with, but the fact theres so many "stills" kinda ruins the experience imo. That about does it anyway. Think I got my reasoning across by now haha.

September update:
God that new update too, lol. Just sex marathons with every main girl I guess. Still almost all the same complaints I had before, some of the scenes were atleast better, but all in all, but still has the cringe virgin speak, still broods, still just really awkward, 3 minutes of actual story progression, 45 minutes of just banging everyone for 18 hours straight until they would be legitimately paralyzed with a bucket of cum all over them, but walking around fine next day. I feel like we're living someone elses fantasy in this story, and not in the "good" way. What in gods name happened dev? lol. First run was actually decent, this new run is just a complete trainwreck. Characters also changing on the fly, Anne looks worse for some reason, Gabrielle has a random "hormone" drug that increases her bust size by a decent amount, idk. It's just so whacked at this point lol.

Unironically too I said I feel MC shoulda been killed and switched out, and the story seems to be heading in that direction. I can only pray LOL.

Another loser-MC game bobbing like a ripe turd in the endless ocean of loser-MC games. We've seen hundreds of games like this and they never get any less terrible. Domineering older woman, bitchy younger one, loathsome pussy MC whining about his boners and generally being a waste of oxygen. It's like these games are written by an AI trained exclusively on biographies of reddit mods. ShitGPT. Don't waste your time.

don't understand how this isn't at least a 4 star game. I love the characters the younger women are hot with a variety of body types and personalities from athletic and toned to tattooed and goth. the milfs actually look like milfs instead of a mid 20s woman with large breasts we are simply told is a milf. I swear in most games milf=big boobs not actually middle aged. I like how the relationship between characters evolve with there being some tension at the beginning then slowly softening. or some relationships will run into trouble later on like when MC's GF finds out he's been sleeping around. I love the sci-fi setting. the animations are good not the best but better than average the sex scenes are a little too zoomed in sometimes which is my only complaint really

The game's story is actually good, but at times you can tell that the writing gets lost, some things don't make sense. Another problem is the lack of choices that really influence the story, since there are few and I feel like they don't change much. For example, in the case of the maid in the game, I don't like her and I didn't want her as a romantic partner, but until now I haven't understood why the relationship with her was forced, since she's just any maid, not even a relative or someone close to the protagonist, and yet you're forced to stay with her. In the second season, we have more choices that seem to influence relationships, but there are still few. If there were to be more choices, there could have been in the first season too. Anyway, the game has some problems, but it's one that makes you pass the time.

Found this game the other day and started playing it yesterday and just couldn't stop playing it. The story drew me in and I just love the different character's personality and mixed in with Sci Fi made it better.

The models for all the charters I just thought was great and I like how the MC doesn't look like a teenager. I can't wait for the next update.

A primitive, ill-conceived plot, which is unacceptable for a kinetic novel, because if you decided to provide only one path, try to at least make it readable. In general, this cannot even be called a novel, but rather a collection of decent animations with nonsense in the text box. Regarding the "romantic" part, the main character's dialogues with women are a series of looped dry, most often irritating phrases. I don't even see the point in mentioning the illogicality of the main character's decisions, which you cannot influence. 1 point for the visual component, nothing else to be found here. It's a pity for the time spent on this.

It is really hard to find anything good to say about this game because even the well done things are completely let down by the rest of it.

I would say the biggest problem is just how bad the women are, a wealthy drunk that plays with the MC like a pet, a bitch, a tease, cheerleader embarrassed to be seen with you, a milf that wants a boy toy and a stripper, are just some of the main date-able characters and there personalities are horrible making them an incredibly unlikable and untrustworthy group and because of that the really good art and animations are mostly wasted.

A close second on the problem list is the MC who is very poorly written, he feels the need to constantly and a do mean constantly comment on how pretty the women are and say what they are wearing is nice to the point it gets really really annoying, he tells a parent he wants a committed relationship with her daughter while dating and having sex with other women, has the magical ability to know who hates him and who hates him but is just putting on a front with no evidence to the contrary for either, at the start he was sensible but quickly turns into a pervert, then a simp, after that a playboy and finally an idiot who makes the dumbest decisions possible,

None of the story really makes any sense and what does is just thrown away as if it was nothing,
Choices are see scene or not, they have zero impact on the story, even when not picked the scene is still referenced as if it was seen which gets confusing, this is a completely choice-less game no story or relationship ones do anything.

Lots of repeated events just with a different girl, fashion shows, caught staring, women falling on MC, rubbing suntan oil etc...

So in a nut shell, dumb simp scumbag MC, unlikable girls, no choices, minor NTR, bad story and forced relationships.

Story 1/5 (pointless)
Sex 2/5 (visually good but not with women you hate)
Characters 0/5 (really bad)
Art 4/5 (great)
Choices 0/5 (don't do anything)
Kinks 1/5 (none that i noticed)

Features many unattractive or even downright ugly women (especially the MILFs, who make up at least half the large cast) and three or four chicks who don’t quite make it all the way to drop-dead gorgeous but come pretty close. I’m talking about faces here (most of the bodies are, of course, incredible), and the beauty of those few girls is dependent upon “camera” angles and facial expressions; generally, with neutral expressions and from a certain range of angles, they’re knockouts.

Animation quality is wildly inconsistent, running the gamut from pretty great all the way down to atrocious. I think the handful of pretty great animations (one of which, an animation that’s just a hand job from a plain-faced woman, is probably the best and hottest animation I’ve seen in one of these games) were probably acquired from or farmed out to external sources, and the rest were created by the developer. Most of the latter are terrible-to-average.

The first season has very little plot and is pretty much wall-to-wall fucking. When the animations aren’t bad and the participating girls are actually attractive, more than a few scenes are quite hot and had me grinding my John Thomas against the underside of my laptop. At the time of this writing, Season 2 is only up to Episode 3 (Season 1 contains 9 episodes), and an actual plot has kicked in, but it’s pretty silly, which is seemingly inevitable in a harem game. Aside from that, it’s more of the same—although, they’ve finally introduced a MILF who doesn’t look like roadkill. She’s pretty hot, in fact.

And watch out for that dialogue—much of the time it’s acceptable, but when it descends into relentless, bantering sexual innuendo, it’s insufferable. Like Beavis and Butthead in smoking jackets with their IQs halved.

So, a very mixed bag, difficult to rate. I’m giving it a generous 7/10, mostly because it managed to arouse me a reasonable number of times.

This game is truly a gem. I really enjoyed the story and I can't wait for more!
This game has really hot models, great characters with great/different personalities, hot scenes, and a interesting/mysterious adventure.
Good luck in the future dev!

This game is honestly hilariously bad. One of the worst example of mindless fuck fest.

Let's be honest for a second, I don't buy the came for the porn, stay for the story saying. When I try a game, If I don't find any girls attractive, I'd honestly wouldn't even bother to wait for the next update but the main difference with traditional porn and most of AVNs remain the interractivity and the attachment to the characters.

It's not the case here. All the characters can't decently be called characters, they're just a bunch of attractive models ( and saying all is generous, some of them like the doctor have nightmarish faces ) with no distinctive shred of personality.

Sure thanks to porn logic, all the main characters are meant to be pussy magnet but here it's beyond ridiculous. You'll honestly have a hard time remembering half of the chick names ( their complete lack of personnality doesn't help either ).

Usually, I've got nothing against a couple of forced sex scene or even a forced girlfriend/sexfriend but since the game has zero balance, you're forced to bang at least 6 different girls no matter what. And I'm not talking about casual hook ups, you're forced to be in relationship with the aunt, the cousin, the asian maid, the goth girl and the blonde even if you don't want to.

But it's not even the worst part. The game let you pick a girlfriend then forces you to cheat on her with multiple women ( forced and unavoidable scenes like I mentioned ) and finally you're forced to confess that you cheated on her with everything that moves and you dump her ??? What was even the point of picking a girlfriend in the first place

The game forced you to do some stuff and then punish you for it ? Why ? It's even more frustrating than doing a kinetic novel.

Speaking of choices, don't expect meaningful ones or even a lot of dialogues to pick. 90 % of the dialogues options are just peeking/not peeking.

Don't expect any meaningful story or deep relationship either. The game does have pretty nice animations but after 6 or 7 bland scenes with no build up or sense or erotism, it's just boring.

3 stars tell the wrong story, but I have to take the middle here. In a more complex rating I would give 5 stars for the models, posing and scenes, and zero to 1 stars for the story.
I really don't get why we have so many devs with really good skills in producing lewd content, that all think they have to tell us some world changing conspiracy space opera to entertain us.
No! Just no! No no no!
These are fapping games, I play them one-handed or at least with literally growing excitement. Give me some hot girls, a light-hearted background story, do some build-up with the characters and their relationship to the MC and then get into action! I don't want Rambo or Matrix or Star Wars retold, only with some tiddies added. I don't care for ancient gods or mythic bloodlines thrown at me to start an asset parade.
A few hot girls in hot clothes doing lewd things is all I want. And goddamn KrKnobb knows how to do this!
Every time Summer or Anne are walking into a scene, their tanned bodies barely covered, kinky heels at their feet, every wheel in my lewd brain starts turning - brilliant! Poses, mimic, even most of the kinky dialogs are top notch, bravo Sir!
...
...
... But why the space stuff? why the mysteries, the aliens... nothing of these things add anything relevant to this game. If you start with a sci-fi story, your player know what to expect. But turning a perfectly fine orphan kid story into a sci-fi world rescue mission is just disappointing. And yes I know, the foreshadowing was always there with MC's special features and his dreams, but honestly... I couldn't care less and constantly hoped that MrKnobb would drop the idea and go with the hot babe flow...a flow he definitely mastered. But now? Doesn't look promising at all...

Alternate Existence has good points and bad ones. My main gripe with the game is the story, it loses interest because it is quickly moronic and all the girls just throw themselves at the MC without thinking or anything, except the main ones which drag it out without much sense. And once you get close to season 2 then it just decides to switch the plot completely and go in a totally unwelcome direction which is really offputting. Choices are mostly limited to which girls you prefer or if you want to skip some content, which is also a downside.

Render quality varies, especially in the early stages of the game, but it ends up being pretty decent. There are lots of animations as well, some a bit clunky but in general they do their job very well. And girls are different and have different body types which is nice as well, and also different ages which can be easily identified. Sound is very limited though.

So, all in all, this one I'm going to drop. Just can't find it interesting enough for my time once I started going through season 2.

i am actually speechless of this one. all i can say is that i really enjoyed this avn. there is a lot of story, tons of great characters, and all in all pretty wrecking choiced you make. the mc first a loser at the beginning, getting more and more involved with tons of girls. its the high of his life basically. then the story going in a completely different direction than i expected in season 2. giving me the biggest plot twist of my life. mind is blown.
anyway i am always up for a good harem game, but this one overtriumphs most of them .

recommended 5/5 Stars

There are far too many LIs in this game relative to the number of renders. With the exception of family basically all of them are underdeveloped.

There is no variety or routes for any of them. The writing has potential; you find the secret of an annoying camgirl who follows you around everywhere. Seems like a good character to have a blackmail path with. Nope, instead the game effectively forces you into the path of performing a cam show with her.

Annoying cousin who is a total bitch to you for no reason? Nice, we can have a route where we break her will down? Nope, instead we are supposed to empathize with her for some reason and the game forces you into forgiving her.

Oh, also one of the most attractive models in the game is constantly teased as a character who is interested in you. You can see her thoughts that she wants you to ask her out. We see MCs thoughts that he thinks she is cute. But the player never gets an option to take initiative with her, and the MC, as is typical does nothing. As this is one of the only women in the game who never throws herself at MC, nothing happens. One of the other most attractive models is just given to your obnoxious comic relief friend character (who is a whole different issue with the game, given his randomly showing up in scenes and saying bizarre dialogue that is counter to the tone. I think this is an attempt at comic relief. If this is an effort to develop a normal friend character, oh boy). Why would you write a game this way?

Props for having a variety of models, some of whom aren't that attractive and some who are. But the variety isn't worth much when they are all underdeveloped, barely have any scenes, and their lust for the MC makes minimal sense but we're just bounced around from sex scene to sex scene.

Equally annoying is how passive the MC is. The only choices to make are whether you want to see the scenes of these various random women who meet you and then throw themselves at you. The MC being pathetic would be interesting if it was part of his character arc and he develops from that start, but instead we are stuck watching him stumble around inept in everything while women just throw themselves at him because of a stupid plot point. He's totally passive in everything and the lack of choices to be made renders you passive as a player too.

Oh, and the game effectively railroads you both into accepting a character as your girlfriend with no input and then also railroads you into cheating on her repeatedly? And then with no input from the player, MC reveals this to her? How is this effective game design?

As far as the writing goes, your relationship with one character improves by virtue of you stopping men from raping her. Repeatedly. There is more than one scene with this premise. Why?

The concept is ok here, and there is potential with some of these characters, but it is totally unfulfilled. On the other hand, there is one goth character who is very unique relative to other visual novels and also attractively rendered so that has some merit for uniqueness.

Edit: Season 2 has drastically better renders but the story is somehow even dumber.

I found this game on the weekend, and I can only say that it was a Saturday well spent on this. I wonder how I didn't notice it before, but at the same time I'm glad that I found with all the content there is now.

At multiple points in this story, my expectations were subverted. The story seems simple at first: Young, normal guy who's an orphan and down on his luck working at a cheap diner gets a call that changes his life. So after some convincing he goes and lives with Anne, a friend of his late mother's and her daughter and we get a pseudo-incest, standard college-themed game, right?

Nah, far from that. But that's all I can say, because I don't want to spoil the story.

What I can say is that I encountered a fuckton of lively, likable characters who all have their own raisons d'ètres, motivations, kinks, backgrounds and personalities, and I'm hard pressed to find a love interest I didn't like. (Samara and Daniella are the best though!)

MrKnobb does an absolutely fantastic job at weaving in little hints here and there that later on make you feel like "Ahh, that makes sense, he did do this or that, after all." or "Damn, that's what it was all about." I love when foreshadowing happens, it's a stylistic means that devs rarely use.

The sex scenes are fucking hot. They have a healthy amount of buildup and good angles and animations.

If I had to criticise something, it would be that the MC in some renders has a complexion that looks slightly unhealthy and that the first LI that is introduced is still waiting for her spotlight. I also don't find one or two women not appealing visually, but I realize that this might be a "me" thing.

All in all, it's a super solid, well rounded game that ticks all the boxes in my book that it needs to be rated at 5 stars.

Cannot wait for the next update. Good luck to the dev!

This was a tough one to rate. I fluctuated between 2 or 3 stars.

I thought the plot was pretty good and the writing wasn't bad except for some of the sex talk, especially the MC. How many times are you going to tell a girl she's tight or wet and you know you're hitting the bottom of the barrel for sex talk when you break out the " Take it, take it all. Also at one point when aunt was hesitant about crossing the sex line with her nephew understandably the MC threw an over the top hissy fit that was embarrassing. Weird since he was cool with other girls who wanted to wait.

The models are a mixed bag. Most have body proportions on the extreme side, no variety in breast size, they're all big to even bigger. The Dev also seems to like women who are a bit rough looking meaning tats and piercings. A tat here or there is okay as long as not too many. Piercings outside of ears or bellybutton are a big turn off for me. Also at times they have green skin color and sometimes zombie grey.

The MC has a kind of creepy look to him, every time I see him I hear a voice saying " It puts the lotion in the basket." His physique looks a bit odd and some times skin tone is off. He starts off with a ridiculous over sized dick which in season 2 it becomes stupidly supersized. This is a pattern for this Dev given the previous V/N. Someone has a fetish for supersized penises. The BJ scenes look more strange than sexy.

The animations are a mixed bag also. Sometimes they look really good and sometimes less so. For one at times the Dev use that technique where the scene wobbles or bounces ( I forget what it's called ) which is a distraction. The lewd sounds are pretty decent.

This V/N could be so much better if the women looked less extreme and had more variety and if the MC looked better. Also if the Dev reigned in the comical dick thing and if the MC spoke less during sex scenes.

Version: Season 2 - 2.1.0 + Season 1 - 1.9.1



I was really hesitiant to play this game due to the 1 or 2 voyeur scenes at the start and the presence of a previous game's MC's LI. After a few updates, I decided to bite the bullet and just try it. I wasn't disappointed; in fact, I loved the game. The renders, the girls, and the sex scenes were all good. Of all the AVNs I played, this is one of the most erotic games I have played.


All girls have their own unique outfits (lewd outfits for scenes and normal ones). The girls are all pretty endearing in their ways (the experienced ones, the "tsundere" innocent ones, etc.).


As someone who hates games that reeks of NTR, this ain't one of them. Just give it a go; you won't be disappointed.

Renders
