Ren'Py - An Unconventional School [v0.4.0] [LulluDev]

A really weird game with decent sex scenes and great and unique Koikatsu models. There is no "player" character or protagonist. The whole game is more like you choosing a character to watch their story through a god's lens.

The strange part is the game seems like it expects you to already know the characters and the established relationships because it does very little in the way of introductions, and kinda just throws dozens of characters at you and you will likely forget all their names.

It seems like you can get a better grasp of the story if you have knowledge from playing the dev's other game since they seem to share the same characters, but I have not played the other game so this greatly affects my enjoyment.

If you are looking for NTR it's more like cheating but not on you, nor is it Netori where you are stealing someone else away. They're characters in their own story cheating on each other. You aren't a part of the story, you're just watching things happen. And thats probably the biggest reason I wouldn't recommend this game. Not only is it hard to follow for newcomers due to too many characters established relationships, but it's not immersive or engaging for any player because you aren't participating or interacting with these characters in any way. I really like the Koikatsu models, and I think they're a step above move Koikatsu games in the indie avn space, but it feels wasted on poor writing and no real game direction.

Great girls and great scenes. Swimsuits are always great. If you're not much of a story guy this is a really great game. The dev is consistently good with scene selection also. Would prefer if it had a gallery because there are many scenes worth replaying. Getting to the scenes is no slog at all, no grinding needed.

Nope. Sorry. The mechanics of this game make it a huge miss. You play a sort of railroaded sandbox with no agency and no idea what you see and what you miss.

As such the characters become shallow, because there's hardly any build up and then they... fuck. For some reason.

There's hardly any story and no point to any of these. Not even the art makes it worthwhile.

So, no. This just isn't a good way to present your game. I am sorry.

i just don't like it. i've played a lot of sandboxes, some do it well, some do it bad, and this unfortunately falls into the latter group.

you start off the game with the dev saying "it's okay if you haven't played my other games, it doesn't matter!" but then it immediately goes to explain the changes to the characters from the previous game. and their relationships to other characters. okay.. like what? you either have an option that explains the connections/differences to your last game or you completely re-introduce the characters from scratch. you don't mix both. it just feels so weird.

onto the main game.. some of the girls are very hot. that's where the 2 stars are from. but that's it. i love the idea of different perspectives and so on, but the days are quick, there are so many different characters, idk.. it's hard to remember them in any meaningful way. there isn't enough time with any of them individually to actually remember what they're like. everything's just thrown together into a big mosh pit and then you're asked to select the next POV 4 dialogue boxes after.

to give credit to the developer, i love the idea of different POV's, playing different characters and their stories each day. but i think it's just too much. it's so hard to keep track of what's going on as someone who's just tried your new game. i don't feel connected or intrigued by any of them because none o them get more than 2 boxes of dialogue before the next character. does it get better later? maybe. will i play it far enough until it gets better? no. i just don't think it's worth playing a game if your first reaction to it is like "what the fuck is going on!"

edit: if i had to give my proper 2 seconds of criticism instead of just ranting, i'd say that this game, and the idea as a whole. would benefit from a MUCH smaller cast at the start of the game that slowly expands as updates roll out. give us time to learn about the characters and what their POV's feel like.

this feels like an attempt to make a meaningful story with a large cast that also features a unique mechanic. there are good porn sandboxes that are just for porn with loads of characters, there are good story-based games with smaller casts, this is an odd outlier inbetween the two. maybe i'm the odd one out, but, it just doesn't mesh well.

anyways, small rant over. good idea, horrid execution. i genuinely i hope to eat my words someday because the idea itself is amazing. prove me wrong, dev!

Nice game so far. I like how the narrative shift between multiple characters. It's a very cool idea that i don't really see other VNs doing. The characters' models are very nice, but there's no design that really stands out.

As for the writting, I really like the cafe girls and the swimming club president, but the consistency is almost unexistent. One time a character is this innocent, virgin, and the next they're fucking some guy. One moment a girl wants to take her relantionship seriously, and the other she is flirting with some dude in public. Of course I expect the characters to change in a game focused on corruption, but i hope it's more natural, and we actually get to see the growth of the character before the climax (no pun intended).

I think the elephant in the room with this game is the idea that "all content is avoidable", as in, NTR and corruption can be avoided for certain characters, but it doesn't work like this. The cheating and corruption will still happen and can even be mentioned in other routes, you just can skip the parts of it. I'm not saying, I'm against it, I am into NTR after all, but it would be good if the dev would be more open about how this work. Is specially annoying when it seems like one of the few vanilla, wholesome couples introduced in the game is going towards a ntr story as well. Again, I'm a fan of ntr, but I'm not a fan of false advertisment. As it is, the game already have few vanilla routes, and if one of the few ones gets turned into ntr/corruption, it would hard to get invested into any other couples after it.

In conclusion, I think the game is fun and have some really hot scenes and dynamics, but it's kind of hard to really be invested in the story as it is currently. Worth playing, but could get better.

It's something ambitious with way too many moving pieces, and the writing suffers. There's a number of concurrent storylines with unique characters each, all for a bunch of various anime tropes that start to blur together. The renders have their ups and downs. It also comes with a rather useless world map, given each daily storyline (there's three, at least typically) only has a few places to trigger.

There are no choices, but that's fine. I never got the bugbear about that.

Currently, this should be labeled as a kinetic novel. There is no choice here.

The best part of the game are the models and the animations. In my opinion, the creator clearly makes the most of these assets. Kudos for that.


Why that rating? I play a game for not just the hot pictures and some hot moving pictures. If that's all I wanted, I would go for a porno, hentai or a live show. A game needs a story, characters and all that includes. Sadly, that is the problem here.

In my mind, one of the biggest issue is the pacing. It starts with the corruption and carries over into every other element that the pacing just feels wrong.

Normally, corruption starts at 0% and goes from there in an escalating manner till you reach 100%. Here it starts at like 70 and jumps quickly to 100. That's not good corruption.
NTR is the same, you jump to 100% as quickly as you can possibly imagine. The relationship is barely established when the NTR happens near instantly with nothing held back. That's not good NTR.

The characters vary in look, but feel nearly all the same underneath. It feels like everyone just waits for their awakening moment to jump towards 100% horny bitch. Worst of all, this process always feels like a switch is flipped and that's it.

Character development is near totally bait and switch style. Meaning, we have a character established as A and then learn that they were actually always B. Once something like that is okay. Twice...kinda problematic. Thrice...really not good.
The worst thing is that you don't need it to be that way. As an example, I use Satomi, which was like the third or fourth case of it happening. She is established as liking pretty boys, then revealed to be a simple slut. Why? You can get the same by staying inside the established framework. She likes pretty boys and gets one as a boyfriend. All she needs is then to see another of her pretty boy targets watching her and her boyfriend doing something nasty. Her greed for pretty boys leads to her trying to get her claws into the next one and so on. The NTR would still be there, but the character would remain as established, instead of having been an utter fake.

A game with an ensemble cast lives from their diversity and variance, not just in looks. Every girl feels like just a horny slut but with different looks.

So that's why I rate it poorly. It feels more like a scene viewer with the most barebones porn plot behind it. And I'm talking "Why is there straw?" level.

The underlying idea and plan doesn't seem to be that bad, but the execution feels too hasty and more focused on delivering as many sex scenes as quickly as possible instead of making the whole thing an enjoyable experience.

This game suffers from an overwhelming lack of depth, rendering it a repetitive and uninspired experience that fails to engage the player on any meaningful level. At its core, the gameplay revolves around aimlessly clicking through every single area of the school multiple times a day across different character perspectives. Unfortunately, this mechanic, rather than adding layers or intrigue, only serves to amplify the monotony and frustration. Below, I’ll break down the critical aspects of the game and explain why it struggles to deliver any redeeming qualities:

### Story: **1/5**
The game is devoid of any compelling narrative. There are no clear goals, no overarching plot, and no character development to drive player engagement. Instead, players are left wandering the school with no purpose or direction, hoping to stumble upon something of interest. This lack of storytelling depth makes the experience feel shallow and unmotivated, leaving players detached from the game world.

### Gameplay: **1/5**
The gameplay loop is tedious and infuriating. Players must wander aimlessly through every room in the school, searching for any interaction or event. To make matters worse, this process must be repeated multiple times a day for different characters, turning what could have been a creative use of multiple perspectives into a mind-numbing chore. The absence of meaningful objectives, mission tracking, or any form of guidance exacerbates the problem, making the gameplay feel like a complete waste of time.

### Audio: **2/5**
While the game does feature background music, it offers little to elevate the experience. The audio feels generic and uninspired, doing nothing to enhance the atmosphere or immerse the player in the game’s setting. It's a functional inclusion, but far from memorable or impactful.

### User Interface: **1/5**
The UI is a disaster. There are no indicators or visual cues to inform players if a character is in a particular room. Instead, you are forced to click through every room in the school, only to encounter either empty spaces or trivial, meaningless interactions. This design choice feels lazy and disrespectful to the player's time, making the exploration process feel more like a punishment than a feature.

### Overall Impressions:
The entirety of the game boils down to wandering aimlessly around the school, hoping to trigger brief, unremarkable dialogues. There is no sense of accomplishment, no engaging objectives, and no fun to be had. The lack of goals, tracking, or missions makes it one of the dullest and most unfulfilling dating simulation experiences available.

If the game insists on making players repeat these tedious actions every single day for every character, it desperately needs tools to make the process bearable, such as clear indicators or a more intuitive navigation system. As it stands, the gameplay design feels thoughtless and clunky, offering nothing but frustration and disappointment.

In conclusion, this game is a textbook example of how not to design a dating simulation or sandbox experience. It lacks substance, polish, and consideration for the player’s enjoyment, leaving it as a forgettable and unenjoyable title in its genre.

10/10 so far Amazing Game, Amazing Story, Amazing Plot, Fantastic Characters with a huge Diversity.
All the Characters seem realy interesting so far, many Waifus even the male side characters seem really good, which most games just do a horrible job at.

Would recommend to Create a Ingame Hub ( so tou can see the characters profiles is a really good feature that most games with a lot of charaters should 100% have)

Cant wait for more will follow this series very closely ,
Hope you can produce the story that you have in vision.

This seems like a pretty average game however that has potential to become a good game. I love having a plethora of characters, however it seems like this game has way too many. Honestly it's hard to keep track of who is who. Albeit most of the character do have personality and unique to their own. The dialogue is quite good as well as the writing is engaging. The NTR content is a bit lacking but looking promising. Corruption content is also okay, pretty average blackmail corruption. It's not a bad game at all, but it's not a good game by the stretch of the means. However it's still a fun game with unique and different perspectives that you can play in each day.

The game shows great potential, and I’ve been really enjoying it so far. The characters are well-developed, and the writing keeps me engaged. The artwork is also fantastic, and the pacing feels just right. Overall, I think this is the kind of ntr games we need to see more of.

Game is looking good so far I've enjoyed it. Right now there is content for an hour of playing if you want to see everything. In the first half, game let's you view different events from multiple perspectives but then it shifts to linear storytelling. I prefer the former so I hope there will be more of that. Dialogue looks good, no grammar mistakes, no cringe.
Animations are nothing special, models are your classic koikatsu style.
It seems like there will be a lot of pressure on corruption and NTR and less on romance which is great for me personally. Though right now there is no NTR content at all, gotta wait for that a little bit more.
Maid club looks really promising and hot, I hope it will lean more towards exhibitionism that would be great.

Overall 4/5, can't really give 5 right now since I'm not a big fan of koikatsu games but maybe in the future with more content and all.


#Edit
Game started decently but dev decided to make everyone have sex within a single update for some reason. You'd be better off watching rule34 sfm videos than playing this, I'm pretty sure there is more logic and story in them as well.

0.3 Review

For now it's an alright game for about an hour of gameplay if you read dialogues.
The Dev claims that NTR is avoidable, but from what I have seen the game is so much focused on it that "avoiding" the scenes will cut you off from about 1/3 of the CGI. Yeah, it's strictly "avoiding" those scenes, meaning they still will happened in the background. I seriously advise against playing this game for people wanting to see just romance content.
But that's not the reason I rated this game as "Average."

The game allows you to choose one of the characters at the beginning of the day and walk around the school. For the most part however the character has just one dialogue that he does not want to enter the room for whatever reason, making this "freedom" just an illusion. In the whole game I stumbled upon maybe 2 events that were somewhat relevant, but for the most part you just want to go into the club where character belongs to in order to continue with the story.

The CGI's are nothing out of the ordinary. They aren't bad, but it's just your typical "Koikatu" style of art with very simple animations and models. I can see why people like this kind of art, but for me personally it's nothing special.

The story seems very shallow. It's just your typical (hentai) high school drama filled with affairs, thugs and Ugly DILF. Yeah, I don't think it would be the solely reason anybody would download this game.

In conclusion I'd recommend this game only for people into this kind of art, NTR and Corruption fans. For everyone else I doubt it will be worth your time.

ngl, this game is way more promising compared to the first two games. Aside from NTR, I hope this game will also have NTS (perhaps with Momo x Jin/ Alice x Jin) without the cuck being humiliated but is always in control. Kinda like Sergil x Cynthia from Secret Care Cafe but LulluDev style. Really good start.

edit: Welp, it was fun until the updates started pouring

The game shows great promise, even this early on!The models and animation quality of the lewd scenes are high-quality even if there aren't that many scenes yet since we're still in the intro.

The first 3 days are a bit slowpaced because of all the character introductions, but the game really starts picing up on day 4 onwards.

There are a few bugs , but Lulludev has stated on their discord that they'll all be fixed in 0.3 so no need to worry there.

Overall the game is great so far and I'm looking forward to later versions!

Prologue is really great and it introduce you many characters with different look and personality. My personal favourite are Konomi and Kagura. I hope in future updates there will be more choices so people could see NTR or normal romance routes depend on their own preferences. I tried previous game from this creator but for me this one build tension much better and doesn't speed up the process of coruption female characters

I really enjoy this game! Way too good compare to the first Lullu's project. Story for now is very interesting like seeing not just one POV but several and is really cool to know what each person is thinking and doing, grammar I think is good (I'm not from a country that speak english as primary language), renders are great and there is no bugs ( at least for me).

If you didn't like the first game I just say: give a chance for this one and if you're new and never played the previus games play too because this and the others games are totally diferent story and same chracters with some modification about their personality
