Ren'Py - Amnesia [v0.100b] [Super Alex]

One would assume that Super Alex gained valuable insights from his previous project, wouldn't you? Too bad it seems that's not the case.

Renders 4/5 Firstly, let's begin with the good stuff, the Renders are quite impressive, that's the area where Super Alex improved the most compared to his previous project. The animations would be splendid if the developer wasn't so adamant about showcasing them, forcing players to endure several seconds of character introductions every single blooming time someone enters the frame. One could understand this for a character's initial appearance, but it happens incessantly, and even with all the "skip" options enabled, you're still compelled to sit through it. Blimey.

Plot: 0/5 There's another game out here in F95 that completely plagiarises this storyline. Comatose patient, mum/sisters, family debts, and so on. This is one of those rare instances where the imitation surpasses the original as this game is dreadfully slow, it redefines the meaning of slow burn to a glacial age. Nothing transpires! You're confined to a predetermined path for 98% of the game, with the 'choices' I encountered being "to peep or not to peep", or "to grope or not". News flash, developer: that's not a decision that impacts the narrative! Moreover, the 'missions' are utterly nonsensical. Say you wish to bypass the tedious and poorly written 'interactions' and get on with the ruddy game. My mission log states "Satisfy your hunger" with an OPTIONAL task of "cleanse your face". So I navigate the rubbish sandbox to reach the kitchen and, whoops! The game informs me I can't progress until the character washes his face! So by "optional", the developer means "mandatory". Roger that, understood.

Gameplay: 0/5 This is bottom-of-the-barrel sandbox material. I almost rage-quitted at the section where the mission log says 'Investigate the hospital'. So I waste 30 minutes clicking about, trying to suss out what on earth I'm meant to find. I seldom managed to figure it out. It baffles me why any game developer would pair a narrative devoid of choices and entirely linear with 'figure it out yourself' sandbox mechanics. Absolute worst of both worlds.

Characters: 1/5 The only remotely plausible aspect of the characters' behaviour in this game is that everyone treats the main character as if he's mentally challenged. That genuinely felt appropriate, given it seems the coma the main character was in completely obliterated concepts like 'basic human interaction' from his mind.

Started strong , but seemed to have lost the plot at one point. Feels even like the game is made by different people than the ones starting the game, since it's later part feel so different than the start.

Have to add that I tried the game because of it's femdom tag and the comment section actually confirmed it has femdom. Even good femdom. Soon after the first time something like a sub/dom path is seemingly introduced it vanishes completely though. Instead it turns more or less into a kinetic novel, where you have to solve some annoying time wasting puzzles but have no control over any action. The MC also by default takes on the persona of an annoying, rude, bitchy, comically dominant guy.

So yeah game had potential but ultimately it's lack of any meaningful choice and incoherent character progression makes it a failure for me.

Except eva (this character story is stupid)Eva (MC girlfriend)is two timing not only that what worse she actually love both of them. The other person she love is male btw. .All the characters story are good Even elena ( I just think of her as tsundere) . The art style and animation are good. There some music (sometime it only silence)

It's not good, like 4 years of dev and nothing to show so far. It's, unfortunately, one of those devs that MILKS their supporters, or whatever remains, or even on steam. There is nothing to like about this game, like nothing at all. This is made for Gooners and simps that haven't touched grass, that aside nothing about any of the characters is engaging and it seems it was made by someone trying to act cool and edgy. I'd say skip this game for far better ones.

terrible updates and update frequency. 3 months of wait and downtime for 5 minutes of gamplay. just another cashgrab that wants to prolong as long as possible milking the supporters. Animations are good and characters are okey but no real content after years and years. Will not be expecting anything else from now on

nice graphics, decent characters and a not too deep story, (thankfully) no animations, but too small updates for the extraordinary long time between them

Sometimes it's hard to understand the next story points as the ingame handbook is buggy in some updates

pro decent renders (looks like we will have NTR in the future like Lucky Mark)

cons 4 years in development and not much content, buggy at that

story- doesn't make much sense, yet

cast:
mc- he's a pushover and likes being dominated/ jerks himself off

MOM (Alex)- not much story there (my guess is she does BDSM work, lesbian sex with friends/ others being MC was in como). If MC and she were something special and still care about him but you go have fun with a lesbian shows how little you care, unless the story says elsewhere

Kate- looks okay, but her story is not much there. I didn't enjoy how Dev talked about how she enjoys giving her BJ to her ex.

Elena: her story points out she does onlyfans type content also, believe her story continues with going to work for her aunt and doing some kink stuff. feel like she is whore in the future, or works at the club

Eva- she seemed like whore even first saw her and found out she was sleeping with an ugly guy because felt depressed? really other ways but instead guy hangs out with her and does sexual stuff, then tells her to break up with Mc in a letter. then the same day they have sex?
She tells mc she loves him but she does this shit? so you are saying is when mc is depressed at all he should go sleep around.

I have a feeling the game will at some point have NTR, have NTR-forced lesbian scenes. just how so many NTR-type comments from girls saying they love some dude and are willing to do anything for them.
overall I guess okay games haven't been abandoned almost 5 years in development with little content is somewhat positive

I'll come back after a few years to see if we have anything worth it

The latest update is only 2 minutes with a handjob really?

It's a great game, and I'm always looking forward to the next update. The art is amazing. The only downside is that updates are small, and there is still a bug from the very beginning with washing your face at a sink, apart from that Excellent game and writing! Also, sooo long without actual sex for almost all the characters.

This game is called Amnesia which is ironic because after getting to the end of the latest update you'll wish you could forget you'd ever played it.

4 years in and with the latest update you whack off, watch someone else whack off and spend 3 seconds whacking them off; it should change it's name to Edging Simulator.

This game is not trash but it is far from good. Everything works and the renders are very attractive. The art team is doing a great job.

The bad about this game is easy. The STORY is so boring and so dull and is going nowhere very fast. It's just a tedious slog of bad dialogue to try and get through. It's a shame because the premise of the game is very good.

Also the MC is just so damned unlikable as his character is written. Now that I think about it every single character in this game as they are written are just plain unlikeable with the exception of Iris and maybe Kate.

It's a shame because you can tell a lot of work has gone into this game but the writing team needs to add someone who can tell a story much better than this.

All over the place adding silly revelations that ruin the characters the game was trying to sell you from the beginning, even if there were hints it is a shit decision.
Writing is trash, like absolutely terrible, the actions of certain characters dont make any fucking sense. Like some woman will say she loves some dude and yet doesn't give a fuck about him lmao, and theres no reason why she would love him either. Its like the story got made with an outdated version of ChatGPT, dialogs are stupid and extremely cringe, renders rather outdated and theres not even any action with the supposed main LI, just boring stuff and no progress, on the contrary actually. Also MC is such an unlikeable lil shit, but tbh, thats most of the characters here.
Not worth playing at all, I wish I hadnt wasted my time with this.

Fantastic renders, but everything else is bad.

Awful story. Terrible dialogue. The characters repeat themselves several times, even in the same scenes. Way too much dialogue. The MC gets raped out of nowhere, there's surprise NTR, it's almost version 1.0 and the actual sex in the game is basically non-existent except with 1 random side character, not even a handy or blowjob from the main girls. Ridiculous lack of progress anywhere. One if the biggest letdowns I've ever played.

4 years in development :/
we still don't know anything about the Main characters
annoying MC
almost zero content with the important characters. (except all that jerkoff we're jerkoff to an mc that is fapping to some photos)
the only good thing about this game is the renders and at this point, it is not a good enough reason to play it, because there is a lot of another game that has this level of renders if not better.
(Btw, sorry for the bad English.)

Although the pace of this game is a bit slow and the erotic relationships with female characters are relatively basic, the excellent animation rendering shows the potential for the future, and the modeling of the female protagonist is very attractive!

Review of 0.98 (spoiler tag added, but idk why I bother)

My mind boggles that I spent 45 minutes playing this game. There are plenty of games where I can say "not for me, but I see the effort the dev put in". Here? It legitimately feels like this was meant to be an exercise in frustration.

Decent Renders and a fair share of different women. The freeroam is ok for the most part and the story itself is intriguing.
The poor review has two components:
1. MC is quite unlikeable. Even when given a choice, he acts like a 14 year old horny creepy teenager in every available option.
2. Girlfriend cheats on him and admits it to him. MC has now two options, rape her or forgive her and have conventional sex with her. The option to just leave her and never touch her again is not available. That's what most people would do after being cheated on. That scene alone made me delete the game and regret to have ever given money to the dev...
So it's another NTR game without the NTR tag. If the developer is so eager to let one of the main li cheat on the mc, why not being honest about it and add the proper tag. 2 Stars for the girls and the idea of the story. The rest is just bait with hidden NTR halfway through the story and a horrible written mc.

Well, what can i say. This game is a rare gem, one of the very few instances, that provides some kind of subtlety in its approach to the erotic content. I love the slow tempo and i wish it would drag on forever, with hundred different scenes for every tiny step of progression.

I've been backing this game on Patreon sporadically, and I believe it's underrated. I've had my frustrations with it too. Initially, updates were slow, then there was a lengthy hiatus while Alex revamped the code and introduced the sandbox feature. As a Russian developer, events in Europe caused more slowdowns, but with a newly formed team and move to another country, updates are now consistent every 2-3 months.

I prefer waiting for at least 3 updates, which translates to a six to nine-month interval. Alex seems to follow cycles with the LIs; if you're waiting for scenes with a particular LI, expect to wait a year. Alex recently mentioned that the supporting character arcs have completed for now, so maybe the LI cycle will be faster.

While there are full penetration scenes with secondary characters, the main LIs have none. Plenty of other really erotic, detailed, and steamy scenes with the LIs, but it's definitely a slow walk with them.

The storyline is gripping, with an intriguing mystery surrounding the MC's memory loss and coma. Each LI has a distinct personality and relationship dynamic with the MC.

The game has the best renders and animations I've seen, they're clearly talented.

Navigating the sandbox and completing quests can be challenging, but nothing a quick forum search will won't solve (though I worry about some of you with your search abilities.)

In summary, despite past frustrations, I've grown to appreciate the game's progress over the last year. It offers an engaging story, satisfying fetishes, and as an intermittent paying supporter, it's a full 5 stars from me.

I usually rate games while keeping in mind 'amount of time worked on game/content available'.

In "Amnesia"'s case, development has been active for 4 whole years.

4 whole years, and the only actual sex the MC has, isn't even sex, but a rape scene.

Now, the animation is above most of the games out there, I'll give the game that. But 4 years for the content the game has right now is a no no. Because that means that the game, at this rate, won't be completed for the next 10 years.

Now, another thing I actually like, and I find this weird that more people didn't notice this; both roommates have psychological issues, that are actually well represented. One has depression, and the other, whilst not exactly mentionned in game, is clearly bipolar.


But yeah, all the game has for itself right now, is the amazing animation. For the rest, it's empty. And after 4 years, again, no bueno...

Just became a Patreon of Super Alex after a single play of this game. It's excellent, particularly the "Free Roam" sections, which are brilliantly done.

The graphics and animations are pure hotness, and the character, dialog are great and witty. The story isn't super-compelling, however -- it's more of a sequence of events and tasks to unlock progressively lewder scenes and bakcstory exposition. Without fixing the relationships between the MC and his "landlady" and "friend" properly to make them what they're obviously are, "mother" and "sister", the game doesn't make any sense at all. Unfortunately there are lots of mistakes in the dialog -- I haven't tried the incest patch, having rolled my own (fixing the numerous places where the relationship is hard-coded wrongly). After doing that, I could get into the game a lot better.
I play pretty much exclusively femdom games, and despite the MC's pretty dominant behaviour, the few femdom aspects of the game were so good that I enjoyed it a lot.

There's not much branching narrative in this game -- the DOMINANCE flag is basically unused. That's a shame, because I'd like to be able to steer the MC into submission (like in Karlsson's Gambit or Boring Days, for example).

The MC doesn't really have much character transformation, you're basically just solving puzzles and unlocking scenes (amazingly hot scenes). So, althougheven though there's a risk of combinatorial explosion, I think making a dom and sub path for the game would have improved it a lot for me. I'd actually prefer it if scenes were determined more by the DOMINANCE flag.
