VN - Ren'Py - Android LIFE [v0.4.2 EA] [MateDolce]

Game version: 0.4.2 EA

This game’s writing is the true charm. The game has a lot of personality, and the characters feel distinct and real. The plot and worldbuilding is actually interesting compared to other games I’ve played and feels like more than just set dressing and feels like actual thought has been put into it. I caught myself thinking about the story after I had closed the game, which is rare for most games I play.

The sex scenes are good, but the writing is the best part of the scenes. Each scene plays into the writer’s characterization so far and it improves the scenes so much. This is one of the more common things I see in worse games, but this writer is damn good at it.

When the game starts, the art is good, looking a little bit amateurish, but gets very good as the game goes on. It's clear the author's skills increase with each update. The scenes in the latest update are especially good.

The game so far has about 8 hours of content, sometimes going back and reading other routes and actually reading the dialog and not skipping to scenes, which I think is a fair amount of content given the quality of the writing so far

I can't wait to see what becomes of the game and I hope the author continues, as I think the story is gold, and the writing shows real wit and humor, and I've caught myself laughing a few times at some of the dialog in this game.

Story : 6.5/10
Originality : 7/10
Renders/Art : 6/10
Sound : 6/10
Playability : 6/10
Performance : 9/10
Bugs : almost none on ren'py, very good work.
Animations : 7/10
Voice Acting : none
Grammar : nothing to say.
Amount of content :as of v0.4.2 pathetic amount of content (4 years + in dev)

this game feels more like some random VN you'd download from itch.io or other similar websites than a porn game, also if you skip the dialogue just for the H scenes the game is very very short or tedious and boring if you don't.

You ever play a fap game, and forget to fap?

I don't play these games for the story or the game play, so it took me off guard when I boot up the game expecting bad writing and get smacked in the face with a pretty good story and solid writing. The humor is pretty good, the protagonist isn't a complete pushover, and his reactions are believable in the context of the story and world. Also, the traced koikatsu art style is unique and looks good, H-scenes were pretty good, and the animations that I remember were fairly well done.

There are typos throughout the game, but I didn't find them to be egregious or overly distracting.

The game was good enough for me to subscribe to their patreon.

Story - Plot is really interesting and the dev has really killed it with the Script, Most of the dialogues had me made ROFL LOLing Fr.
Art - Unique is an understatement for the renders it makes, I like this style more than Koikatsu.
Characters - The Main Character is probably one of the best in the site, An unpredictable guy for sure, One time he acts like a autistic goofball and then moves on to be a Master of intuition/deduction/observations The Female characters are really well-written and and are not some basic bimbo sluts like the other games. One of the rare games where I love every female character.
Overall - I had a Extremely fun experience with it and it definitely has a Crazy potential but I wish the dev is quicker with updates. Nonetheless, Its a Must-Try game in this site.

Fucking amazing content so far, love everything about the game i just wish it got updates quicker!

it's pretty rare for me to care or get invested in a smut games story or characters but this game so far is great and i hope it stays as good.

This is one of those games that's so well-made that it makes some other AVNs hard to play. The world is interesting, the characters are interesting, and more than anything, it's genuinely funny (especially if you're 'in-the-know' enough to get the jokes). I have actually used this game as a palate cleanser after trying out some higher rated (and higher earning) games on this site.

The UI is well-done and the art is this great cel-shaded style. The characters designs are great and I'm excited to see some more of the cast.

It's really just a fantastic game.

This is a Hidden Gem right here guys. the art style is so unique and visually pleasing to look at. the renders are clean and smooth. there are some H scenes but your really here for the amazing story, funny humor, and endearing characters. the romance makes it all worth it when we get to the real h scenes. just go and give this game a chance.

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!

A) How would i describe this ?
= Stupendo fantabulously phantasmagorically magical collection of art meant to service your heart AND your crank, to some extent.

B) Who should give a shit?
= You....you should. I have played 200+ AVNs and I have only rated FIVE other AVN in this exact fashion with these exact words. The dev has cooked something for which we ARE NOT ready for. On surface, the game looks like just another isekai fuckery BUT IT'S SO MUCH MORE... Even tho the game is very lighthearted at the core, it doesn't shy away from hinting at deep and dark concepts in a satirical fashion hinting at the writer's strong gasp of the language as well as American humor.

I am a proud handholding, pat-giving, hug seeking fucko that will refuse to play games that only offer porn and no coherent plot or authentic characters. If I want porn I can just go to the orange site or some place....no...I'm not reading it to empty my balls but to rather fill my heart. This is exactly what the game offers.

There are H scenes but it's not a quick fap (you have been warned!!)

Pros:

1. Previews don't do justice. The game looks so much better and renders are clean and sexy.
2. Small Sandox elements and mini games are very intuitive and very very cool UI.
3. Sound effects and music are like fine selection of caviar.
4. WRITING IS ABSOLUTE GOLD (one of the most quirky and extremely witty pieces of humor). It is very heavy on American humor and references and it flows so well. Writer's comedic genius flows with each monolog or quick banters.
5. Animations are decent and hot and music fits here so well!
6. Characters are distinct and very likeable cast. The romance is chef's kiss, where present.
7. Multiple endings and some pretty realistic choices are very well done!

Cons:

1. There's some misspellings but overall phrasing is excellent. They had a great grasp on setting up satire.
2. Gallery would be good addition.

Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely pick this up now!!

Still on the fence?
I found my self giggling so much cuz the game uses satire and prime American humor. Better dead than red? Bittersweet jokes about dystopian society with mega capitalism and intentional targeting of certain people.
The setup and delivery of these jokes put this game on next level.

Don't do yourself disservice by not giving this a go!

Go play it already!

Came for fap, Stayed for story. Usually, I don't engage in story in a porn game, But exceptions happen. This game has a great storyline that has simplicity and great humour (That Jojo stand off was amazing) and Art is the most unique i have seen in a Ren'py game.

Cons

- Slow updates & less 18+ scenes
- No gallery or playback

Pros

- Too many to write and i'm lazy
- This deserves to be in Steam

Great game that I feel took a lot of effort to make, the only downside I see is a lack of time allotted to characters to actually get to know them better. which is something that will probably be addressed in future chapters.

This game took me by surprise.

Was expecting some mindless fun scenarios considering the premise and the initial feel.

But the game ends up really respecting its character and giving them more depth than expected making the interactions with em much more fun.

The game is genuily well written and nail its humour elements also.

This game has no business being this good.

Never have I seen political socio-economic commentary, conspiracy theories, and realistic depictions of capitalist monopolies in a cyberpunk world mixed and intertwined with witty jokes, beautiful romance, and horniness. On top of that, the artstyle is gorgeous and unique. This game is unlike any I've ever played here. If you're just here to fap I wouldn't recommend it, but to literally everyone else here I would.

Laura is bayzed.

Fantastic concept, great humor.
Don't be put off by "femdom" catergory. It's refreshing to have a VN where the protag doesn't have a 12"inch penis and dialogue written by someoen with mental age of 12.

Totally worth check out. They just need to pump out content. It's way to short atm.

Review #69! Objectively, this is a good game. Prose well-written, characterisation decent, art tasteful, layers of irony plentiful. And yet, in the final reckoning I am left somewhat disappointed. I couldn't put my finger on it, as I've never played maledom games, but it ought to be the *maledom elements* in the game that spoil the general impression. Let's look at the characters one by one.

1. Laura and Ruri - both of them have an outright breeding fetish. Of course, it is made to fit the story seamlessly, but its presence does make me feel out of touch because again, I'm not into maledom. In addition, Laura's memes might be funny, but they turn into an overkill, whereas Ruri is somewhat ruined by the gyaru aesthetic (for me).

2. Kana (the library girl) - certainly, really fun dialogue, but for what? For a girl that... wants to be raped? Such things can indeed be possible in a femdom game (that's actually fairly realistic), but when they add up, it's simply not a femdom game anymore.

3. Rea - the foot fetish is nice, I guess. But here are the scenes that made me desperately wish I could control the protagonist's responses - because it felt rather jarring to go along with some of his bratty behaviours (and because it felt like there could be multiple interactions to explore with her).

4. Emily is probably the hottest character (innocent & poor), but there's a dearth of scenes with her (literally none in the latest update).

All in all, it's a maledom harem game in disguise. Sorry, MateDolce. And mind you, I'm not critiquing it for a femdom that's "not harsh enough". I get the general feeling that it's not made with femdom in mind at all. Luna and Cassandra would fit the bill, but the former has had her first scene in the latest update, whereas Cassandra... has no scenes to begin with - even though the bad ending (<end, a typo) was asking for it.

One of the games I'm proud to support on Patreon, highly recommend it.

Not going to lie, I did not think this game would be for me at all when I first saw it, and have been avoiding playing it for months now. Finally pulled the trigger on it though after seeing the other reviews and running out of other games to play, and I'm very glad I did. This game is unique in many ways, from the story, to the art design, to the content.

Starting with the story, the creator does a unique spin on the "Last Man on Earth" narrative with the presence of humanoid androids. It's well written unlike most games on here without taking itself too seriously. Laura's dialogue for example about the duck protein had me cracking up.

I really enjoy the art design and the game has some pretty good animations. The characters as well are well designed and not copy pastes as many other game creators tend to go with. The only thing that bugs me is the way the dialogue box works where a piece of dialogue is broken into multiple different "clicks to progress" at some points and auto scrolling in others which resulted in me having to scroll back to read some of the dialogue, but that's personal preference since I have my text speed on max.

Finally the meat and bones of the game, the content. I really enjoy the way the author provides the player with choices since they're not clear cut "X = Y". Often times it seemed like my choices were just flavor text, whereas others I'd be surprised to find I could get a "Bad End" in the game. It makes the game feel more immersive, since without a clear outcome I feel less obligated to try and min max. I enjoyed the narrative display with Mia more than I thought I would as it gave more depth to her character and the conversation.

Pros:

• Art-style, animation is very good
• Story is quite good
• Straight forward story type VN, very low amount of sandbox.
• Soft Femdom (Depend on your taste this might be a con for you)

Cons:

• Soft Femdom (depend on your taste this might be a pro for you)
• Low amount of H content.
• 3+ years of development, this game still have no walkthrough.
• Low screen time for side characters.
• No gallery or scene replay.
• There are some plot holes, but you are here to fap not for the plot so I am not going to spoil.
• Long dialogues, quite a text heavy VN.

Overall (my opinion): I wish MC would act a bit more like a man tho. MC was threated like shit everyday and he didn't even attempt of thinking how to gain the upper hand or fight back a bit. I know Rea was supposed to be the heroine of this VN, but holy shit she's getting under my skin sometimes. All she does is "I'm a genius" and "make me money." I know it was supposed to be comedic and she's deep character, but after constant line of her bickering I started to get sick of her attitude. I am not going to mention the commie girl.

I have so many complain about the plot, but I remember that this is meant to be a hentai VN lol. Still, this was supposed to be Femdom type VN. Can't really blaming the dev for making MC and characters this way. I wish there was path that let you choose between being Maledom route or Femdom route in the game. A bit disappoint at the lack of content, but I think you should give this game a chance.

It's one of those unappreciated gems. Unique visual style, interesting characters etc. It's no grand design of a game but its certainly a good one.

The way scenes play out its rather cool as well, there will be scenes that have multiple outcomes that is influenced by dialogue and certain choices.

The art is good. The girls are cute. The story is gripping. What Android Life lacks in raw sex it makes up for with solid writing and visuals. the protagonist design is peak edge anime but the female cast all have appeals of their architypes that over shadow the protagonist. The "gameplay" doesn't hold your hand but follows the threads of most peoples common sense and knowledge. In the first half I didn't really care to get invested in the story but as the plot progressed I found m self more inclined to learn all I could about the story and world. While this VN is far from finished I look forward to its continued development and ultimate completion.

SPOILERS!!

WOW, this game is REALLY good, when I looked at the preview pictures I saw cute girls and expected a quick wank, the info about the setting on the page made it sound like some dumb isekai, but man... after the first few days the story gets you really thinking about what is actually happening, are you really just some guy from the past? Maybe you are some super advanced AI with implanted Memories Is any of this even real? What is the mother really looking for, Love or something else entirely?

And then the cliffhanger..... FUUUCK i NEED more!!!!!!!

Version: v0.4.0.1
This game is a real pleasant surprise.

Pros:

- Well developed and interesting story

- Good art direction, it's a change from usual Renpy(Koikatsu,etc,etc)

- H scenes and animations are well done

- The characters are very endearing for the most part and the mix between tsundere and possessive is rather well balanced

- A lot of humor, parody and a lot of meme

Cons:

- Not enough H content (more story than H) for the moment, but I prefer DC to put quality over quantity

- The game is very linear, not much to do even if DC has planned to let more freedom to the players with the addition of the sandbox

- Laura is unbearable, this character is supposed to be the meme girl, but I find that she does too much, that she is too much emphasized and that can spoil the experience if you don't like this character at all

Conclusion

The game has a huge potential, DC does a really good job, the game can seem to be worn quite femdom, but in reality it's very soft on that point and also allows to be a cool guy who doesn't let himself be abused (if you want to <3).
