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

This game has potential but only if the MC actually evolves.

The artwork is excellent just like the other finished project. The animation is great too and the choices do add some spice even if they don't have enough range (nothing drastic enough to end game).

The writing is pretty decent and there are multiple character arcs running at the same time. These are interesting in how they intersect but there is one glaring problem which can possibly be fixed with the addition of a real character.

The females in this VN are so vapidly selfish that it boggles the mind. If this was a female MC who had just gone through a 1 year coma and had complete amnesia surrounded by males, they would all be treating her kindly and accommodating her every wish. Perhaps 1 of them would be insensitive, but not every last one of them. The female characters are constantly forgetting that he just lost 1 year of his life and can't remember a damn thing and yet all they do is demand demand demand. The poor MC has literally zero side characters that actually give a shit about him, just what he can do for them.

If this is supposed to be some kind of statement about beautiful women (all of them look like models) then perhaps that would work, but it feels more like an approach at having spicy female characters at the cost of their humanity.

A couple of other concerns are that the MC is a teenager (as is mentioned multiple times) but he goes to work for a female boss who is much older than him lies, drugs, and rapes him in a sex dungeon, then sends him on his merry way in a taxi with a pocketful of cash. The excuse of "well he's just a horny MC so he doesn't really mind" is the same as (if the MC were a girl) "well we all know she's a slut and dresses like it so she didn't mind"... So the only time the MC actually gets any action is from a trespassing psycho who would probably get 20-50 years for all the crimes she committed just to violate him.

The MC's main moral counterpoint character (Alexandra) then praises him for "working extra hours" because Rei lies to her. This issues is never addressed afterwards and we are left with the impression that all is well in the land of the MC "bringing home the bacon". So once again if genders were reversed this game would probably never have been approved at F95 no matter how many tags you threw on it.

I'm not saying the game should be censored I'm just saying the glaring inequity in how male MC's can be treated vs. female couldn't be more stark than here.

Also the characters seem very tunnel vision dominant. I get that this has a "female domination" tag but to have every single female character run over the MC makes it seem like they are all the same with minor differences.

Every single female introduced has this function so the compelling writing (which was done well) starts to become greyed together due to this lack of variety in female personality.

I will be checking on character development to see if more variety or evolvement (of the MC) takes place. This is the main reason I went with an average rating but am happy to update it as time goes on.

Another underated game , with too many negative votes ....
Characters and graphics are top notch ... one of the best i see it . Animations are also verry good , sandbox is verry friendly not grindy at all .
Story is good not the best , but also not the worst , it is authentic and has some personality .
For me is one of the best games on this forum if i can give more then 5 stars , i would gladly do it !

Amnesia [v0.92a]

Pros:
Great Renders
Decent Character Models


Cons:
Quests are confusing and the quest descriptions are terrible
Grindy, where you wander around and get lost just to trigger a scene
Sex Scenes: There are apparently 2 Sex Scenes and I only remember one and that wasn´t even a good one.
Choices don´t seem to matter
Boring Characters
Boring MC
World feels empty
Boring Story that doesn't make any sense
Lack of Content
Big chunks of Russian text when you talk to Elena, Alexandra, and Rei near the end (that's just lazy)
No skip or auto function


Conclusion:

I make it as short as possible, just like the game that has been 3 years in Development and severely lacks content.
This game is a great example of what you can do all wrong with a Sandbox game.
The quest descriptions are so bad, to the point where you have to wander around and waste your time, just to find a boring scene and often times get stuck.
The Story doesn´t make much sense and the Characters are just boring.
I´m blown away that this game is already 3 years old, because it feels so empty and i´ve seen games that were maybe a year in, and had far more content.
I´m stuck at 2 quests, I think, and the rest is marked as not finished yet.
I´ll be totally honest in saying, don´t waste your time and money with this game, because it´s just not worth it.
It´s just a lot of nothing packaged with good renders and that's it.

I give you five stars for the story, the achievement system and the animations, but I'm very upset. Three years of development and still a very low amount of content. Hope next updates will provide us what we are looking for.

Amazing animations and graphics ,story is going in a good way. A lot of improvement in plot with every single update. Keep it interesting and spice, go back and forward,make us play the game ,but dont take down players ability to enjoy. There is a lot of games who tried to input this amnesia plot, yours look unique. It has senses for spice and sexy. Definitely in my top 5 games. Well done, keep smashing it. Dont rush.

This game is fucking terrible.

The story is linear and there aren't really any impactful choices for the player to make. A lot of your time will be spent on tedious fetch quests, or wandering around the same few locations trying to trigger events that are keyed to specific days and times. Of course there is no easy way to figure out when or where an event might occur, so the player has to keep returning to the same place over and over again hoping to get lucky. This is made worse by the fact that the sandbox environment has very little depth. There are only a few npcs you can interact with outside of your "housemates", and the content for these additional characters is quite limited. Lastly, the game currently only contains 2 sex scenes, and one of these involves the MC being drugged and raped.

Not even going to bother typing up a full review, as the dev is definitely making the game to milk the patrons. After all this time in development, the content that is here is few measly scenes, a whole bunch of boring fetch quests and a sandbox complete devoid of anything to do. I understand the game "being slow grind", but this is just making fun of the player at this point.

This game looks good, good renders, good animations, etc. The problem it has is that it promises players the moon at the start but ultimately it goes nowhere. There is barley any CG in the game or explicit scenes, and it has been in development for a long time now. Another problem is that the free roam model and the vague tips guide makes it almost impossible (And I had to download guides and mods) to figure out what to do next. And when you finally do figure it out, the rewards are disappointing. This game had shown a lot of promise but at the sluggish pace its being developed at currently seems like it just going to end up abandoned before its ever finished. Right now its sort of a hot mess and needs miles of work in it.

Ok. Let's start.
First time on this site I saw a game who so good and in other hand so bad.
All 3d, visuals, animation looks wonderful, and you're starting to think it's a decent game. But after u start playing and u see a plot (not sure its even exist) which terrible and don't have any sense and any logic at all. And game interface looks the same, all interactions need unnecessary clicks, interactions and moves which again out of any logic. Then u see updates one in a half a year with barely 5 scenes... and start thinking it's a scam beautiful on the outside and ugly on the inside...

it has really nice renders and really good UI but that's where all stops, it has been long time since it started the story still not going anywhere, sex scenes are basically non excitant. and navigation is mess, trying to figure what to do and what's next is often if not all the time a complete frustrating task.

i had really high hopes for this for as it stands now and how long its been since it started i cant really recommend it.

then again this is my personal opinion and should stop you from trying it on your own

This game is an absolute disgrace. It can't be rated higher than a 1 star in my opinion

I will concede that the models in the game themselves are pretty to look at. And that's the sole reason the game deserves a star. Otherwise they hardly change their facial expressions throughout the duration of...what little gameplay we see

The storyline itself isn't original at all. You live with your mother and two sisters. Inevitably, one hates you...just because. Hell, MC almost dies and had been left comatose and she still hates your guts. A trope that has both been done to absolute death before, and one done far, far better in MUCH better games than this one

Let's talk about the plot overall. There isn't one. That's right. After three, yes, THREE years, all you really have right now is a bare-boned introduction to every single character in the game

This game is three years old and is still a blue-baller with, last I checked, one actual sex scene. The rest involve peeping and...well, nothing else. NOT worthy of even rating in my opinion. Some games have more action in their demo or 0.1 alpha release than this game has accumulated in THREE YEARS

The dev started working on this game alone. And the workload might have been immense, but the result was still disappointing. Now that they've hired a full staff of 7, and still manage to churn out a dismally tiny, irrelevant update, there's absolutely no excuse. It's just excuse after excuse with the dev and a huge part of why this game isn't worthy of a star

So, to sum up, one star. Just because of the models. And even that is being overly generous. I wouldn't recommend this game. Perhaps in 2043, IF the game isn't already abandoned by then, we'll finally see some real progress

You wouldn't order a meal at a restaurant and sit still as they plant the grains of rice which will arrive on your plate in the distant future. I wouldn't recommend playing a game which means waiting the same amount of time to finally start to take off. Assuming the devs actually continue on and not abandon it partway through. Better games than this have been thrown to the wayside, so I have no reason to have faith in the devs of this one

Changed my rating from 3 to 2 stars. While the game has nice renders and girls are hot, the updates are so tiny and the game barely moves anywhere forward. At this point I'm not even sure game will ever feel finished and we'll get any proper sex scenes.

it looks like it could be really great, but everything about the implementation and details here is pretty terrible. the non-mc character models all have the vacant, blank look of mannequins. the story stalls itself out into uninteresting, unsexy tripe. and the cherry on top is that the dev couldn't figure out how to write dialogue so as to make an inc patch (i mean, that's what this game is, no one's playing with a very worried landlady...) almost impossible to autogenerate.

skip this. it isn't worth anyone's time.

"Amnesia" unironically checkmarks all of the 3DCG visual novel tropes:

• MC wakes up in hospital bed with amnesia (but you knew to expect this)
• All-female "housemates"
• Sexy, lonely "landlady"
• Sexy, friendly "housemate" in unhappy relationship
• Sexy, rude "housemate"
• Ex-girlfriend that is definitely not over him
• 99% of the dialogue is the MC thinking to himself.
• 99% of the MC's thoughts are of him thirsting for everyone he sees.
• Under the table crotch peek

I didn't get too far but you get ultimate bingo if you find a shower peeking scene

Empty updates, stalling, stupid game. I've been following the game for more than a year, the quality of visualization immediately pleased me, you don't often see this among similar products. Playing the game to the point where the content ends at the time of the passage is frustrating. Everything is blurred and smeared. In the future, I followed the game and went further as updates were released, which each time were small, practically useless, not moving the plot forward and not giving an impact, only an increase in tension. After so much time, emotionally the game took a toll on me.

i don't speak russian so i cant continue the story . There a mix of english AND russian elena's storyline . This update is out for a week and no fix of language yet . Does the dev care about such a problem ? I don't think so ....

Giving this a 3 star rating.
It's good, but as many already has pointed out - it suffers from a lot of issues!
Making this a VN, removing sandbox mode that is, and chill down on certain clicks, such as the food thing, when you have to click to him to eat, I mean it was a little fun, I would even keep just that part but all others no. Like the ones where there is just a picture and no text, if we want to see the full image we have the "H" key, don't worry!

Do that and this game could easily go above 4 stars, for example if you piss off the nurse in the beginning you won't get a hand job from her later. Now I'm fairly sure that no one of you will want to replay all that clicking, and going here and there just to see that hand job but, if this was a VN with less clicking elements, you probably would or could take some time to explore. In general be pervy but nice seems to be the right way to play this game, but I could be wrong.

Not sure if you need a guide for this as some stated, I played this for a good long while now without it. Now take this with a grain of salt, but to me it gives off an aura of Foot Of the Mountains and Deluca Family. The spying from Foot Of the mountains and I guess the mystery and the family personalities goes kind of hand in hand with Deluca Family, I wouldn't say if those two made a baby, just gives off an aura from those games to me. So again take that with a grain!

The protagonist can be a bit annoying as well, this is just my preference but I never like it when the protagonists are vengeful, hateful, Anger issues (like raging teenagers) and uses the word bitch or slut, especially not in their own minds. I mean if someone pisses you off royally I would understand if the protagonist went out with a bitch word while being in frantic anger mode, but else no, it would have to be really fucking justified for me to approve.
He could also use a bit of balancing, as someone said as well, badass at one point and meek at other points. Sure he is probably a bit of a switch, even his personality. Almost worse worse than I am, and that's bad, trust me!

Of course renders and models and such are nice as hell, some really nice scenes and animations, one of the nicer ones I have seen even, top class! The "Landlady" is really hot, I don't mind the glowing eyes on her either, but that's just me, I can understand if some do.


Tl;dr: Good game, would be so much better if it was a VN - no sandbox, has its issues, and you don't want to replay this game to explore more options, be pervy and kind - is my advice.

I am super mixed about this game. First the positive: I think the mom and sisters are gorgeous. All of the side character LIs are hot too. Sleep groping on Kate is fantastic and I found the dominating Elena character different and fun. I like the premise of the story and that the mom seems to know more than she lets on leaves me eager for the story to develop and resolve. What I dislike: the writing is sometimes aweful but other times done well. It’s probably the translation but it’s inconsistent. The worst part is the sandbox grind. Without BOTH mods, it’s unplayable, in my Opinion. That’s ridiculous. and for all the grind there’s so little action. Almost none with the family members. I won’t be playing it for many updates. maybe I’ll check back in 2 years and hope for better hint system with more action. The renders and story have promise.

This VN I am really mixed about. There are some really good parts but there are some really shit parts too. It's saving grace is that these two polar opposites have somewhat of a balance.
It does kind of read like it's written by someone that has limited experience of woman other than what they have read and seen in shows.
The MC is a mess, at moments he is a fucking champ and the next he is a wimpy cuck fuck.
My favorite parts where the Kate interactions by far, she alone was the reason I persevered through the whole game.
Rei is almost decent but it just felt like a projection of Elena in an Asian package.
Not a game I would play through again without a substantial addition or makeover.

As others have mentioned the game is designed terribly.

After the first few days there is pretty much one event in one location per day.
there are about 15 locations and 3 different times, so that is about 45 clicks (plus another 20 going back) just to progress.

EDIT:
To make things worse the quests are peppered withfetch quests to make you click through all the rooms even more.

Even the completely empty hospital (20 more clicks) and Mall (20 more clicks)

If the world is going to be so empty this should be a VN, honestly one of the worst games gameplay wise i have played.
