VN - Ren'Py - Anita's Internship [v0.40] [Pigeon Pleasure]

Time Played: About 5 hours. Reached the end of content.
In-game walkthrough?: No, but there are minor (practically unnecessary) hints to let you know when you're gaining favor with a character
Gallery mode: No

I love me some FMC corruption and, while I'm not particularly enamored with Anita's model, she's cute enough and the situations are fairly hot.

In short, Anita needs to get a good recommendation after a two week internship and she'll do whatever it takes to get that. As expected, Anita is put into a variety of steamy situations that need her to shed her dignity and gradually(?) be turned to the dark side as Darth Slutter, but...she doesn't seem to have any conflict about any of it. The game kind of portrays her as just naturally horny, but even characters who you would expect her to be a little more hesitant to fool around she seems to not mind...nor does she seem to even register it entirely.

Positives
+ Anita is a petite cutie with realistic proportions
+ Some of the situations, while cliched, are hot
+ Player has agency in who Anita plays around with
+ Generally decent sense of story and progression with actual characterizations and narrative flow
+ English usage serviceable

Neutral
= Anita's random trans friend who is entirely too verbose with their own little side adventures. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of trans content, but this character and their story feels wholly irrelevant to the plot.
= Puzzle mini-game. Whenever Anita needs to "work," you have to assemble a simple jigsaw puzzle. I actually kind of like them and you get a mildly sexy image when you complete one. You can also skip them entirely.

Negatives
- Presumably due to wanting to keep the amount of variables in the conversations down, Anita never seems to have any thoughts or feelings about what transpires. In just about every situation, including one path where she basically gets scammed, she seems to have absolutely no feelings on it. She either just disassociates while slutting it up or has memory issues and it's jarring and really brings down the hotness.
- Not too many other women
- Scant bush

Overall, I did enjoy my time with the game. It's easygoing and I really liked some of the scenes. There currently isn't a ton of penetrative content, but what's there is up my alley. The main issue is that I'm not sold on Anita's enjoyment or even lack thereof of anything. Part of the joy of the MC corruption genre is, you know, seeing them corrupted. There's nothing wrong with a slut from the start approach, but the game does a poor job of that as well since Anita isn't presented as super horny. Among female MC games, this one ranks among the lower ones, but it does have enough going for it and no glaring flaws to merit a 2.5 rounded up to a 3.

Note to devs: Please give us more insight into Anita's thoughts and feelings during and after things happening. If she's turned on and enjoying it, show us. If she's disgusted, make it plain. If she's conflicted, portray that. It will make her characterization that much better.

Great game! I like the story, and showing how each option affects temper or intrigue is a plus- no need to second guess the choices. The family story is also nice.................gdhhajajfjanajjdhanajdhajjdhah

This AVN's smart writings and events are hilarious, mixing utopia and disturbing ongoing—a blend of surrealism with reality. The art is beautiful. The cute skinny FMC with pale blue eyes and messy hair is refreshing to the super-curvy stereotype usually created for FMC AVNs. I enjoyed every second of this game.

Great game, good story, good renders, I like the models. I particularly like the many choices, meaning that the various paths can be followed undisturbed. You rarely (probably never, even) get forced into doing something you don't want and I just appreciate that in a game.

So, i enjoy this game so far.
Anita's expression are goods.
Renders are goods, and character in story are different, even they are all kinda perv, but that's the goal in this kind of game.
Anita is perv too.
So there's a lot of tease/kinky situations.
I'm not that sure about the "slowly corrupt" cause like i said, anita is hot and clearly not innocent so, she involve herself easily in kinky situations.

Game is not boring, characters are interesting, story is correct.

Gg!

And it's cool to see some Daz character with realistic face expression, and no plastic face.
Keep going!

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.21...

Warning, there might be a few spoilers ahead...

Visuals are mostly decent, outside of a few exceptions... One of the characters, I'm guessing, is supposed to have had a bunch of plastic surgery, but how the models face looks in comparison to all other characters, looks like a plastic blow up dolls face... I think it could have been done far better then it was... Beyond that, most characters as well as backgrounds looked decent... There were a few backgrounds that I recognized from lots of other AVN's, so you can tell they were basic public assets... Same with a few of the character models... There are no actual animations, but instead the developer opted to use a series of still images played in sequence to give the illusion of animation... But for me animations do not necessarily make or break a AVN/Adult Game...

The developer/s include some actual puzzles (shapes and all) for certain grind type situations with the option to skip them if desired... Honestly the puzzles seemed more like useless busy work, and since the option to skip them was present, I don't see why they needed to exist... Perhaps the developer is just experimenting with RenPy based mini-games?

The script and story are where I ran into the most trouble... While not entirely unreadable, the script is a mix match of occasional broken English, grammar errors, and a messy writing style... Some of this could be due to poor translation and interpretation into English... But there were moments where the writer would throw poem style prose into the mix, for no good reason, and while it might be creative, it made no literary sense during the few moments it occurs, and it made a hard read... Even simple things like drinking various beverages are over dramatic in their presentation...

The way the characters are presented along with the sometimes, odd writing style, and descriptions of situations/thoughts/etc, most of the characters are rather hollow... The female protagonist is presented in one of two ways; either she can completely play along with a given situation/s, liking/promoting a given situation with no shame (only seeming clueless a tiny handful of times or perhaps she wasn't?), or you get the option to avoid/alter the situation she's presented with... Her personality is a bit all over the place... She's sometimes knowingly slutty, right off the bat, or sometimes she's presented as slightly naive... The way this AVN/Game flows, is like your typical corruption story where the female protagonist is constantly presented with ludicrous sexual situations, and yet it felt like she's already corrupted with few inhibitions...

When it comes to overall story, it jumps around a bit too much... And the plot is super simple, a female protagonist who's just trying to get a letter of recommendation from a company internship, in order to get into college in two-weeks time... Beyond that, it is typical porn style fare of being presented with varying sexual situations, none of which feel realistic... Throw in a slight amount of, sometimes, meaningless and/or strange filler dialogue/monologue here and there, followed by a new situation... Rinse and repeat...

As to the gameplay, it is your typical choice based AVN, accumulating various points, that most likely will gate content... The scores you gain are a mix of character focused scores, and stats for the protagonist... The stats are labeled as Intrigue, which seems like it was intended to represent the protagonists Corruption level, even though it sounds like a wrong word choice... And the second stat being labeled Temper, which I'm guessing is supposed to represent the opposite of corruption, but again it might be a wrong word choice... In either case, even though they threw me off, I'm sure the developer/s have something particular in mind with selected those labels...

Overall, it does seem as though the developer/s are slightly new at story telling, but mostly decent with visuals... It's early in this AVN/Games development, but you can definitely tell it is way more Porn focused over good story telling... While not completely riddled with broken English, it is hard to read sometimes, due to the bizarre writing style... Again, that could be due to poor translation/interpretation, but I think it's also a mix of amateur writing experience... Will this AVN/Game get better over time? It's possible, but I would highly recommend the developer/s re-visit the text, if anything...

TL;DR = a game about a girl slowly getting corrupted.

Story: 5/5
+ This game has decent plot.
+ Main heroine needs to have an intership for her college. Unfortunately she is trying to enter corporate world full of office politics and perverted males. Others wil try to take an adventage of her.
+ Nice thing about a game is the fact, that you have a choice. You can decide whether heroine will turn into office slut or an independent strong woman.
+ Another big plus of the game is the fact, that it is a continuation (a sequel) to 2 previous games.

Art and Sex stuff: 4/5
+ Renders are good.
+ Heroine is sexy.
+ Sex scenes are hot.
- Only downside of the game is the fact, that the game is still in early development and there is only small amount of content.

Gameplay: 4/5
+ This is typical VN with choices.
+ Choices have impact on gameplay. Anita can have different stats and different relationship with different people.
+ Game contains puzzle minigame. Reward for solving puzzles are some bonus renders. But you can freely skip minigames if you dont like those.
+ Game has some okayish soundtrack. Nothing extraordinary, but slightly above average.
+ English is decent.
- Like I have mentioned earlier: only downside of the game is its early development. There isnt much content at this point. I think around 1 hour of gameplay.

To sum it up:
I really liked this game. I am giving it 5 stars due to potencial.
You should definitely check this game. Maybe after next update when there is more contect.
