Ren'Py - Amity Park [v1.1.1] [GZone]

This game is so much fun to play! The graphics are unique and engaging, coupled with a fresh take on an old story line. First tasted this about four months back and then knew I had to support this on Patreon. Each update comes out regularly and really is a treat. I highly reccomend this game.

At present, the game is not very large in any capacity. There are five episodes, four of which contain as many non-optional story missions while the last, episode five, contains two. There are eight locations officially available to explore (not counting Paulina's house), and the majority are less than two rooms large. For most games I would count these as negatives, since they would likely leave it feeling like a sex-fest of unearned orgies between characters who feel insubstantial and unreal in a world the size of a matchbox.

Given the rating, you can probably tell that's not the case. Amity Park stands out as a game that recognizes pacing as important. While the early game does include nudity, non-penetrative sex and masturbation, it is sparser than expected and probably not what you'll remember (that's not a jab; I loved the animations and other art, but the dialogue is far more memorable). I came to really enjoy certain characters (I already enjoyed most of them in the show, so maybe I'm biased) and loved every moment they were featured. Jack, in particular, is great, and he is not the focus of any sexual scenes (he is in one briefly, but it's the one scene where you probably won't be paying any attention to him, at least until it's over). It's a bundle of laughs at its best, and thoroughly enjoyable.

I mentioned the animations, so I'll type about them and the art a bit, even though I know as much about this as a goldfish knows quantum mechanics. I've seen some animations in 2D games that essentially look like someone's dragging sections of the image out and back again in an infinite cycle until you click to advance, or like the characters are digital puppets with a fixed range of motion and no souls. That's not the case here. While these characters still don't have souls, they do at least look alive. Not only that, they're crisp, quite fluid and enjoyable to watch, besides the obvious sex appeal. There is care put into these animations, and it shows. Every time one came up I became just that little bit happier. As for the environment, I was skeptical about integrating CG backgrounds into a game with 2D character stills and pictures, but they work together surprisingly well. The CG provides a consistent sense of space while retaining the feel of a digitally drawn background. As for the aforementioned character stills, they're a faithful recreation of Butch Hartman's style. Love it, you'll love them. Hate it, you'll want to douse yourself in gasoline in a fire pit before ten minutes is up, because there is not much deviation from that style aside from sexual differences.

The actual "game" portion of the game is currently so basic it's hardly worth mentioning, so I'll just say that it works as it should. It's a bit of back-and-forth punching and blocks, with the occasional ghost power or augmentation thrown in.

Before I move on to the cons, let me just say this: you can court a ghost. It gets five stars for that alone. I find it hard to accept just how rare (semi-)friendly, romantic ghosts are in fiction. If that rather specific interest appeals to you, this game does not disappoint.

Moving on: if I were to look for negatives, I would have to say (as I mentioned at the beginning) that it feels constrained. There are nine locations (one of which doesn't seem to be available at present), each with a few doorways to go through and about two characters at most you can interact with regularly, and even then it's meaningless, repeatable expository dialogue. Most locations lack interaction entirely, leaving them feeling empty and far too small (since there isn't really anywhere to go once you've arrived). Aside from story there isn't much to do, so once you've finished the game you can mess around with Desiree (the best female character in the game the only character with repeatable sex scenes in real time, as far as I know) until you get bored, then accumulate millions of dollars in minimum wage fast food work.

Still, it's a work in progress, so berating it for lacking in features that take substantial planning and development time would be unfair and an inaccurate representation of the fun to be had. Based on what is here, there is great potential for it to blossom into something worth telling your grandchildren about, even though you'll immediately be thrown in a home for doing so. The story is fun, the characters are entertaining and the sex is great. Plus, again, you can court a ghost.

Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect from this. After playing the 0.4.1 version I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Really good content - good writing, quality artwork, and all around really hot. Definitely something I'll be supporting on Patreon in the future. The creators did a really great job with this.

this game have a really good art and based on the animation danny phamtom make this great to see in a game 10/10 because art and the gameplay and also the scenes you get are easy to get you don't need a walkthrough to play the game and that a really good point to this game i really recommend.

The Art is on point. The Pacing is good. Animations are excellent. I really enjoyed the reworked Game. There isn't too much content yet, but whats there is great.

Never really watched the show but I don't think it's really necssary to enjoy this VN.

The art adaptation and story roots are great. I don't think I've tapped all the content but navigation, layout and art are top notch. There do seem to be a few glitches but I'll be watching excitedly for further development.

The current content in the game is pretty good. Being based off a show with so many attractive characters, this game has so much potential to be great. The present issue with it is simply a lack of updates/content in general. I can't wait to see how this project shapes up in the future, when it can hopefully provide more than a few minutes' worth of gameplay.

Only 3 whole episodes right now, but it has very solid content. It is well written in plot detail. Obviously the art is very superb. For the small amount of content it has right now as a fledgling project, it is good. The interactive interfaces and all of the game play is pretty good too. I do hope they implement more sexual content with all of the characters later on and that it isn't neglected because of patreon rules about incest

It was very good in version 0.6.. then it all went to sh*t. Took out the best scenes, remade the game, took FOREVER to update, excuse after excuse after excuse for a BS Update. Had more gameplay/content before the update, game was done in less than 50 clicks, even the battles got nerfed. GZone will probably blame the computers he used or say he was too busy making live feeds instead of focusing on the game. Usually I don't usually care and am patient with updates, but after pledging for several months and getting this kind of update, I was left with a dislike for the game. Don't Promise Content If You CAN'T Deliver.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.06...


This is a parody visual novel/game based off of the show Danny Phantom... It is another VN/game with the over used Family Sex stuff, again...

The visuals are 2D hand drawn, and look spot on... It is obvious that it is poking fun at the show it's a parody of... The backdrops fit the story well, and are drawn very good... There are some animations as well, not super smooth, but animations none the less... The blinking of each character when they speak can appear odd sometimes, especially when the characters blink into existence during a scene and then blink right away to speak... Looks odd when that happens...

The script is pretty good as I didn't run into hardly any spelling/grammar errors... The plot revolves around a male protagonist who gains ghost powers and the ability to become a ghost... The premise is that the protagonist must gain experience with his abilities in order to combat ghosts and become more powerful... During this time he still needs to go to school, socialize with his friends, deal with bullies, peep in on characters doing sexual things, perhaps work for money, and the list goes on... There is a turn based combat system for combating ghosts, which is alright, as you just need to get used to it...

The days are broken up into 3 segments, even though there is nothing on the UI to really tell you what segment you are in... Only certain activities can be performed during certain parts of the day... To determine if you've seen all the content, open up his computer at home, and select Amity Park to see if all the picture spots are filled in... If they are, then you've seen all there is to see of the events, so no real reason to keep playing... Most of the mechanics are in place, and there does appear to be a quest system, but could not figure out how to see a quest list (only 1 quest exists in this content)...

Overall, this VN/game is not too bad, as it's easy enough to figure out how the game operates from it's current content... The erotic/sexual scenes do come on very rapidly near the end, which was a little disconcerting... Mostly because since this game is still early into it's production, having that much erotica clumped together in a short period of time, may mean this VN/game will become more of a porn show... It seemed rather balanced with story and erotica up to that point... Have to wait and see if it just become nothing but sex scenes from this point forward, or if it will go back to a more balanced aproach...

The description claims it is a visual novel/dating sim, but thus far I've seen nothing to show any dating sim features (beyond the social status panel), and the visual novel stuff sort of ended after capturing a ghost boss, and it went more porn showy after that... Guess we'll need to wait and see how further development goes... Will I revisit this one? Yeah, I can see checking back on this one, as it does show promise... I just hope it stays balanced with the story and erotica, and I'ld like to see more of the dating sim feature the description claims for this VN/game...
