Ren'Py - Amnesia [v0.104 Patreon] [Super Alex]

Quit the game when the MC stole Elena's gift certificate...There's just so much BS I can tolerate till I'm done. This happens rarely.
What is the other BS you ask?
Complete inconsistency in the whole game. Every god damn step.
The MC wakes up from a coma. Surprise, surprise! He doesn't remember a thing! Turns out he was a complete creep before that. Molested his family and everything. Till someone gave him a whack on the head. Now he can redeem himself for the hardships his family had to go through, because of him...Except he goes back to being a complete creep again...

-The first few days he behaves like a complete mute, not knowing anything and being reserved towards everybody...Except instantly he behaves like the biggest asshole towards Elena. I mean IMMEDIATELY, STRAIGHT OF THE BAT. He turns from a recluse to being a bigger bitch then Elena herself! "I will have my revenge on Elena! mwahahaha!" Who the hell talks like that!! ?Seriously!! The mentality of a 12 year old!!!
Ask yourself, is that normal for a person who just woke up, after one year from a coma?

-Too much repeating dialog. the dev keeps repeating himself. Most of the sentences carry the same message. How the MC wants to help the family, how Kate is so sad, how the mom is over worked, why Elena is being the way she is...bla bla bla...
+The chemistry between MC and Elena during the laptop repair was kinda positive.
-The decision to go from VN to sandbox is questionable. Instantly the game turns into a skip button simulator. The flow of the game is then decided by events that happen only during a specific day of the week. During that time the MC doesn't do anything. He doesn't work, learn, go to the gym, he doesn't even clean his god damn room. Instead he guilt trips Kate into it...WTF

-For all our deranged behavior the dev gifts us with this UI on the mobile phone. What I found surprising is the lack of the conditions we have to meet in order to unlock those...Hello? Then the only content we unlock is for the nurse?! WHY?! Why would you do that!! The whole game you make is about the mom and two sisters, yet you give us the nurse?! Bruh...
THEN!!! ON TOP OF THAT!!! The content for them is limited to just two or three lackluster unlocks! Talk about inconsistency!!! we unlock the garter which we can't even see!
-I don't condone the Rei content...This is a fantasy game...Yet when we got the 500$ and bought the drier and wash machine...We don't see it. We don't get the reward...The game deflates itself immediately after the best scene so far which was the BDSM scene with Rei.
-Then we start the Kate and Elena content. Rei scene happened after just five days, but everything else takes too long. I understand establishing the relationship in the family, yet when I look in the gallery screen I think the dev has his priorities wrong....

-I think the biggest downside is the writing. Especially the oblivious MC. He is just too dumb. That's the reality...Stealing the gift certificate is one of the most incompetent developer decisions I have seen in a patreon sex game. Why the hell just not find a job, work and buy a new gift for Kate?! Like everybody else does! After all the whining we had to read, about the over worked mom and sad sisters, he steals something?! The MC keeps contradicting himself.

-I managed to spot what discourages me the most in the game. The MC actually revels in thinking like a creep. He wants to perv on his sisters and mom, and enjoys plotting what he will do to them...The more I delved into the game the more repulsive it felt...

-The story takes too long. Keep in mind four years have passed. Now compare the game to any other.
+The idea behind the game is interesting, but the dev focused on the wrong things. Incest, sleep creep, molesting. Those aren't in demand anymore.
Midnight Paradise just got nuked from Patreon for such content.
The MC could have made initiatives towards fixing the bad atmosphere in his household. Fixing his relationship with Eva. Becoming a photographer and helping Elena. Earn money to put Kate through college. He could've unlocked evil memories of the past as sex scenes. Build guilt and work towards bettering himself. Then the girls would reward him in all honesty with new good sex scenes. Instead the MC steals things and keeps being a perv.
- By the way...What the hell was that scene in the hospital. Our mom and some ugly old perv watched the nurse jerking the MC "Move over nurse. Let me show you how it's done." as the old men grips the young man's cock, mom's smile just gets brighter. While looking into the doctor's lecherous eyes, the gaming community just whispers in terror..."four years of waiting for that"...

there is ONLY ONE good thing about this game and that is the models. the rest is just point and click for find how to start differnet events. i will not recomend this game. there is alot more better game out there.

Followed this game for a while, this is update of a review as of v. 0.100

I do not believe the dev is honest in making or developing this game.
The last update that took 3-4 months, had < 45 seconds of playtime and zero "sex" scenes.

After 5 years of development, this game has less content than others after 4-6 months.

The art that was seemingly good 5 years ago, now feels outdated for a game.
The story progression is not untuitive as you need to check your "diary" all the time for the next step, as the right event to progress happens only on a certain day and time in a certain location.

After 5 years of development there are roughly 3 scenes that could be considered "sexual.
As someone called it, this is a simulator of blueballing and those who support this dev for years, are getting scammed.

Da fuq?

Meaningless banter and picking on the MC, conversations that have nothing to do with story development, a couple of peeping scenes. Familygiving the MC nothing but depressions and only making excuses instead of helping him uncover his past.
But that does not keep them from guilt tripping him about being responsible for his "accident".

24 (in game) days and the ONLY sex scene is the MCs drink getting spiked by his office boss and him getting raped by her in a BDSM dungeon?

This is the most unsattisfying and boring game I´ve encountered till now.
Like a real train wreck. You know, nothing´s gonna happen, but you still can´t look away. Somehow reminds me of that trash movie "Mr. Stitch". Ruttger Hauer really needed that money back then.

Animations are decent, though.

Still nothing I want to try a second go on.

Amnesia is a VN disguised as a sandbox.

This game has all of the hallmark features of a sandbox game without any of the content you would expect it to have. There are virtually no open-world activities to complete, every single update pushes the story along and neglects everything that makes sandbox's fun. All of the characters forget about what happens in the story and go back to treating the MC like they did at the start of the game.

I just finished Amnesia [v0.95b Extended].

+ I like the female renders as they are all attractive.

> I would prefer some variety in the female renders.
More than just Alexandra has somewhat larger breasts than others. Basically all the models have the exact same supermodel, big tit, body...except for one, the clothing store chick. Thus not much variety.

+ The different girls do have different personalities.

+ I think the story is interesting enough.

> This is a SLOW burn...no sex till v0.95b.
But there are plenty of teasing and small steps in that direction before that, that it made it bearable.

+ Some nice animations, even subtle ones.
For instance there are scenes where the girl is breathing deep and her tits are moving with each breath that adds a nice bit of eroticism.

> A bit of a grind, as you have to get the specific day and time of day for some events to trigger. Thank the VN gods for the walkthrough!! The hint/task system isn't enough to know how to trigger somethings, which unfortunately makes the walkthrough a must have in order to keep the grind down to a minimum.

OVERALL:
Would definitely play through again once the story has progressed some.

This is a weird one, i did like some of the story and how MC was a dom vs Elena which was proberly the best part.
But then MC gets raped by Rei or whats her name, and when he finaly catch her later he goes total sub, hes not even pissed what so ever and ends out with him accepting a small gift to forgive her for raping him......
That hole thing just made no sense to me, and killed the hole wibe of a decent MC.

There isent even all that much content in the game even thought its close to 4 years old now, all main quests get stuck with in development very fast, most side quest is the same.

Also not really a fan of a virgins fucking them selfs with dildos, but thats just a personal taste, i would rather have MCs to fuck her before they do anything like that.

When i got forced to do sexual stuff with the "mother" thats when i quit playing, when your not into milfs or mothers and game has choices you expect to be able to atleast contrle who you have sex with unless its rape, but MC does it freely even when you pick all bad choices to go against it, making story line kinetic and full of fake choices that means nothing.

Story 2/5
Its a bit vanilla and boring, MC was decent up to the point where he got raped then i lost all respect for him.

Girls 2/5
There arent many girls but the look somewhat decent, nothing great for my taste but decent, same for animations they are decent but not great.

Animations 3/5
As to sex scenes well there really arent much 2 maybe? where one is a rape scene.

Muisc 3/5
Its decent but not mood setting just background stuff but better then nothing.

Choices 1/5
Hate when a game has choices but forces you to to sexual things with people you dont want to do it with, i am not into moters or milfs and even when i click every single choice to work against it, it still happens 100% kinetic story line with fake choices.

Sandbox 3/5
It isent that bad, its mostly just clicking around on maps to where you want to go, so nothing special about that.
The in-game guide is pretty good.

Updates 2/5
Well for a allmost 4 year old game there is barely any content, so if this will ever get finished i dont know, it would take alot of years more at this speed.

Game is a buggy mess, love the renders, love the characters, but it is impossible to progress to the more interesting parts. Gonna wait till game is finished and try again. I recommend others do the same.

Animation: Very well crafted, don't see this kind of animation very much.
Story: Very early at this point, everything happens slowly. That said I am interested to see how it pans out.
Scripting: Not bad, characters have some personalization and quirks.
Overall loved playing this game but it's a bit of a slow burn. I might wait to see how often this updates before investing anything further. That said there is a sizeable amount of content out right now.

Quite poor story, not reliable, all the participates are flat and dull.
The tasks are ridiculous and without logic.
I wanted to give it a chance so I played a few hours, but I had to stop.
Now I need to make sure that my review contains at least two hundred characters ...

The female characters are super hot and some scenes are extremely erotic but the game itself is an absolute waste of top level art. There is no cohesiveness and the whole story after so many years of development goes nowhere. Especially the useless sandbox element without scrappy's mod would have made the majority of us not to ever play the game. Deliberate delays in sexual activities and the MC to be somewhere between a retard and a complete idiot probably because of a prolonged stay in a rehabilitation facility.

All in all the game concept is pretty good from storytelling (apart from those unnecessary dreams) to the mechanics and graphics. If it wasn't so much teasing only years after the game launched it would be a straight 5 Stars but unfortunately it seems this is all this game is about, Teasing and foreplay...

I can recommend it, from my monitoring I can say that the update is faster than the other Episodes and the story has a direction that will make you curious as to what else the author can show. The render is top notch, the update is consistent, it's not that big since I think it's 2 months per update, the story is just ok not just some normal story of incest, Better to try it out before reading on here.

Fake tags, no vaginal sex after years of dev, no rape either
Great renders, but should focus on single sex scenes and story instead of trying to get 24K LED LCD Google prototype renders every update for 5mins of content without skip.

Real good game with interesting plot. Amazing characters which have good background stories even more interesting that MC rsrs . The renders are excelent as well and there are constant updates (2 - 3 months avg)

I didn't want to rate this game with such a low and negative rating but it can't be avoided. The game has great renders, but why insist on a point-n-click sandbox? besides, why insist on "mini-games"? it's very tiring to have to keep doing X things and Y things like that, look for this, do it in a certain time, progress with the story X of that character to advance with the rest, all of this ends up being quite annoying and also i bet it's tiring for the developer to create these kinds of things, my question is, why do it?

Game progress is already bad, you spend the most time doing this and that and then you find a bug in the game that prevents you from advancing in the story, do developers not realize that this kind of thing can happen? the worst thing is that you depend on the character's "story" to be able to move forward with the rest, if a bug occurs, you've wasted your time.

The game should have a focus but the dev prefers to stalling with this tedious game that bad has a relatively good scene. Unfortunately the game has a horrible proposal and honestly I wasted my time playing this.
Moving to recycle bin.

Will just say this was my 3rd vn I played 1.5 years ago and at that time it was 4/5 but as of now it's 0.5/5. The story hasn't progressed at all like really at all. The updates are very slow and contain literally nothing even though the changelog says something. It's clear the dev is just milking now. Also the sandbox part is a mess sometimes.

UPDATE: Amazing renders and animations, but poor story, writing and lack of content
VERSION: 0.99a

PROS:

1. Very nice looking models and renders.
2. Some of the best animations you will find on this site that allow the player to have interaction to progress with. Clear effort was made here.

CONS:

1. The developer hardly produces content and updates are sparse.
2. The content that is provided in updates is tiny and is IMO, clearly a ploy to retain paying supporters.
3. The game doesn't seem to know what its about, the developer has little plan if any and if he did we have still no idea what it is because of the points above (this game has years of development with very very little to show for it)
4. There is just no structure or point to any of it, there are no chapters with any real revelations providing intrigue to the MC past, reasons for being in coma or anything remotely interesting or heaven forbid profound.
5. While characters look good and the method of design, play and interaction with characters is good there is no substance to characters and the MC is a clueless beta (and no, the amnesia is just no excuse)
6. Quest progress is tedious and frustrating, the player never knows if he is facing a bug or simply came to the end of the content.
7. The writing, spelling, grammar and overall message the developer wants to convey often gets lost in translation. I get if you not English, but after years of development and support, at least one decent English proof reader can't be so hard to come by.

SUMMARY: The developer has been at this game for a long time, never really had a clue what he was making, just had an idea and spat out a bunch of random events and figured it out as he went, which he clearly still has not figured out. Renders are good and that is it, the game is click bait, time and money sink (more so than any other game IMO)

The game is called Amnesia, and after a couple hours of playing I wish I had amnesia. It’s that bad. Gorgeous renders and decent music can’t make up for awful repetitive dialogue, confusing and repetitive grind, and unlikable characters.


Let us start with the good points. The women are gorgeous. Mom, sisters, ex-girlfriend, etc. Virtually every woman you meet is a knockout model.


…crap. That was it. It’s all downhill from here.


While the renders are gorgeous, the personalities attached to them are anything but. The tags for the game failed to mention that the MC is a pathetic beta-male with no redeeming qualities who has the sexual maturity of a 14yr old boy. Even when he’s supposedly being dominant, such as an early scene with his pointlessly cruel and bitter younger sister, he still ends up impotently cleaning up her room for her to avoid upsetting his mother. Seriously just… WOW. Worse still, there’s no way to avoid this scene, nor the free roaming pixel hunt where you hunt down every piece of clothing and garbage, all of which requires a pointless internal monologue from the MC, “Oh god, these are her panties. Should I sniff em? Maybe I can touch her leg, OMG I might cum in my pants!” The MC is so hopelessly cringe that it was honestly difficult just finishing the first hour or two of gameplay. This is the opposite of what I’m looking for in an in-game avatar.


Beyond the MC, we have the mother who wanders around at night in sexy lingerie and visits her amnesiac son in the middle of the night to ask, for the fifty-thousandth time, “are you doing alright?” Well, I was before you woke me up dressed like a stripper, mom. I get that this is an incest focused game, but there’s a thing called pacing which this game sorely lacks. On top of that, every interaction with your mom or sisters includes a “click here to perv on them” option where you look at their legs, their cleavage, neckline, you name it. Again, sexual maturity of a 14yr old boy, “OMG BOOBIES!”


It feels odd writing this, but the first few chapters should have story focused. The instant-perving, and worse still, the endless internal monologuing about what we’re perving on, felt completely out of place when the main focus should have been, “I just woke up from a coma after over a year. This is going to take some adjusting.” Sadly, the authors idea of adjusting is going over the same dialogue over and over and over again with each family member multiple times.

“So, coma huh? That sucks.”
“Yeah it sucks, cause of the coma. No memories either.”
“No memories huh? So you don’t remember me?”
“Yeah dumbass, because that’s what no memories means. Did you eat paint chips for breakfast?”
“Well, I must have, because I’m about to ask you twelve more times if you really really really don’t remember me or if you only sorta remember me! So do ya? Remember me?”
“Nope.”
“Well that’s too bad. So anyway, how are you doing? Remember anything yet?”
“I will fucking stab you.”
“Oh, so no memories yet? Sucks. Coma huh? So how are you doing?”
“…”


Repeat this for every character he meets, coupled with endless internal monologues about the exact same topic over and over again and you’ll understand what I mean when I say that the dialogue is tedious. Tedious is an understatement. Even while fast-forwarding the dialogue, the time it took to fast-forward felt long, and every time I let go of the control key, the tediousness started up again. Every conversation is boring small talk or going over the same “OMG COMA” issue over and over and over again.


Oh, but it could be saved if the adult content is good, right? You’d think that, but the adult content is garbage. Yet again, 14yr old sexual maturity, so “sexy” is having your mother use a fleshlight on you for ridiculous reasons, or jerking off in front of a nurse because that’s totally a thing a nurse will ask you to do. Seriously, if the tags for this game were listed honestly I wouldn’t be here writing this thoroughly scathing review. “This game is about an amnesiac beta-cuck who is treated like a child or like dogshit by everyone in his life, who can do little more fail to get hard while masturbating in front of a nurse who’s demeaning him.” It doesn’t help that his character design is of someone who spends 90% of his time looking at his shoes sheepishly to avoid eye contact with his betters.


So we’ve got gorgeous renders and nothing else. A beta-cuck whiney impotent MC whose idea of an exciting night is touching his sisters leg with all the glee of someone who just hit puberty, a cast of female characters around him who either tread all over him or treat him like he’s a baby who needs to burped, dialogue that bounces between overwhelmingly tedious and sickeningly cringe, and did I mention the pointless free roams and grinding? Did I also mention that the quest log is beyond confusing resulting in having to click through every room available followed by laboriously hunting for the one pixel that may or may not be in that room that will continue the story? There are worse games out there… and this one belongs right alongside them.

Wow for such a great looking game it is sadly very disappointing to play.

First, its not a tiny download so you think great it actually has some content. Then you play it to find it actually does not indeed have a lot of content at all. There is very little content, There are just 3 locations that I maged to have unlocked on my decent sized map in 5 hours of non stop playing. Most of the content outside of the home was played out in the first hour. Some of the boring stuff (non sexual) is repeatable as many times as you care to visit but why bother.

Like Teasing. Well you better. They say there is sex in this game but I have only encountered one scene. The MC gets drugged, tied up to a rack, and raped by a complete bitch of a boss character. But unrealistically he just seems to be "whatever, she paid me for it" after. WTF?

This game is grindy as hell. There will be multiple events going on simultaneously yet you can only manage to convince one of them to fire off usually in a day, Not always but most of the time. Fun part is when all four are at the same time of the day but different locations.

You can't skip through conversations at all. So if its one that you are repeating you will be repeating it again every time you fire it up.

Supposedly you can make money (other than the fake boss who raped you while squatting in a job site) but never saw it. I cheated in some money. Spent the money I earned on a washer and dryer set that never appears in the basement despite being crossed off as done. Supposedly you buy furniture but I quit playing angry at the non content and drag ass gameplay. A lot of the story objectives are marked as not implemented yet on the quest list. So there is material but apparently just not yet.

Maybe next year I might take a fresh play at this nad maybe by then there might actually be something here. Sadly I was not impressed by this otherwise good looking game.
