Ren'Py - Another Chance [v1.43] [TimeWizardStudios]

This has a ton of potential and I am looking forward to updates for this in the future. The plot has intrigued me and at first I didn't know if I would enjoy it but I was entertained and "you know" the whole time.

Honestly the game was pretty good, i just could'nt get into most of the characters because their to PC, felt forced and over all just didnt like the characters for the most part which is sad because it started off great.

The game is good, the story is fun to read, also the artstyle is amazing.
The minus is still ongoing and not finished yet. I hope this game project will continue until end.
Sorry i cant help much and sorry for bad english, but i hope this review will make this game be better on the future.

Another Chance while having features similar to other games sets itself apart due to the cute and sexy art style and the well made precise dialogue. The dialogue has neither too much exposition nor ridden with grammar flaws. it finds a nice balance in this regard. While the game has little sex scenes in its current state it builds up the world and characters very well and makes one wait eagerly for the next updates. it shows great potential and could easily be one of the top games on the site.
the one small criticism i have is that the mini games, albeit less in number, is almost entirely dependent on the hint system. It makes it easy yes, but there is little told on how to progress in the dialogue. Using the hints felt immersion-breaking for me . i hope the developer finds a way to incorporate the mini-games in a better way.

This game is awesome and visually stunning. Time Wizard Studios was inspired to create their own point and click, dating sim video game. Time Wizard Studios released Another Chance a year ago with monthly updates. The newest update, version 1.4 has rectified all the minor flaws within the previous version and added much more great features. Update 1.4 is the best Another Chance currently has to offer. The unique anime art of Another Chance, the art of the characters, and their facial expressions along with the very smooth transitions between each setting are some of the best adult game features I've ever seen. The sound in the game through my laptop speakers has ambience and is cheerful. The visual novel aspect, balance of story and adult themes delivers an experience like no other in Another Chance. This game stands out due to it's very diverse characters of different stereotypes who each have an extremely different personality, allowing the player to replay the game as many times as they would like and giving the opportunity to interact in many different ways with each character. Besides the characters from the previous release, this update has two new characters introduced. Maxine and Bob the beaver. Maxine has yet to be explored, but she is very cute and fun to socialize with. Bob the beaver is is hilarious and the comedian of Another Chance. You play as the main character, a 20 something year old who has no girlfriend and nothing going for his life, but through currently unknown means he is given a second chance of living out his dream to get a girlfriend or multiple. The most prevalent character is Flora, the main character's step sister. She is a sexy, feisty, intelligent, caring, ambitious, and loving woman. Different interactions are done through point and click such as engaging with objects in different locations, completing quests, and socializing with the women. I recommend this game but I do have 2 problems with it. The only problems I have with this game are that sometimes the puzzles are difficult and that their is not much story in the game yet.

Great art, good writing/dialogue. The problem is that there really isn't any substance right now. The sex scenes are few and far between and the game is being updated VERY slowly. At the current pace, honestly I'd wait a year or two and come back, because right now there's not a lot of meat to this game yet. It has a lot of potential though.

Version 1.20.1 EDIT: So, a year and a half later from my original review, where are we now? Well, there’s definitely a lot more substance and quests. The problem is that there’s been so much time put into slowly developing the girls’ relationship with MC that there still isn’t a whole lot of lewd activity. And there’s nothing wrong with that, I see what the creator is going for with the slow burn, but unfortunately that means that while there is a decent amount of scenes now, the problem I had with it before is still there: they’re so far between that it’s hard to really call this a game you can get off to (unless you plan on unlocking the whole gallery and coming back later). And that’s a shame because the art is so damn good.

Another thing I have an issue with unfortunately lies in the general structure/foundation of the gameplay: I get when games have choices that have major consequences to the story, but I don’t know if I necessarily support it for an adult game like this. I’m not saying the game needs to go full harem route or anything, but being locked out of entire routes/lewd scenes and being forced to make a completely separate save file for alternate decisions isn’t fun or innovative; it’s just frustrating. I hate having to pick between characters (for example, Flora and Jacklyn or Isabelle and Kate) because I want to be able to see what they both have to offer without being forced to go through 2 or more different saves every time both characters get updated routes. And it’s especially annoying considering that characters seemingly only react to the decisions you make in other routes when the developers want them to. It’s a porn game, it doesn’t have to be hyper-realistic and logical; can’t we just act like every route is separate and MC isn’t actually cheating to save a lot of time and headache?

Same thing for Love/Lust. Why not be able to develop both routes in one playthrough? It would make more sense that way in my opinion. Love and Lust (as general feelings) are not usually mutually exclusive in romantic relationships, especially the ones being portrayed in this game; they’re two sides of the same coin. One side of the coin may develop faster than the other, but they can coexist and be explored without ruining one another. For example (if you have both stats high enough), maybe one in-game day that you replay a scene, the girl is feeling romantic and wholesome so it’s the Love version. Then, the next day, the girl is feeling horny and pent-up, so it’s the Lust version. Or maybe you can just choose between them whenever you want. I don’t know how difficult it would be to implement something like that, but getting rid of at least most of the major exclusive choices in the game would make for a much more enjoyable and streamlined experience, in my opinion. I feel like it’d also make development speed faster because there would be less independent variables to worry about when coding; but that’s just a guess considering I don’t have any experience with that kind of thing.

That aside, I do think that eventually, the game will reach a point where most characters have a fully established relationship with MC depending on your choices and then the lewd scenes will start flying out like crazy. But until then, maybe skip this one if you’re looking for a good fap. But if you just want a dating sim with likeable, multi-dimensional characters (that don’t want MC’s dick immediately), some entertaining dialogue and fun point-and-click shenanigans, I’d say it’s worth a download at its current state. I’m bumping my rating from 3 stars to 4.

I do hope that every update starts to have a bit more substance. At the rate this is going, the game will probably be completely finished in like 3 years lol. I wish the devs the best of luck! This could end up being something really special.

also flora is best girl

Excellent. Very much appreciate the dev message to the effect of 'there are no events dependent upon you being in the right place at the right time - so don't worry!' Love the art style, and beyond this all I can say is wow. Great job - looking forward to the end product!

The game is excellent and the humor is great-the game is a bit difficult, especially when it comes to stats in both girls and the player, the quest is hard, but the guide helps. Nice art, but it rarely has sex scenes, especially the force blowjob but then again it was just a drea,
Good potential-Good game

I like the over all art of the game its sexy . I like how the game requires you to find parts and put the puzzle together to get rewards. but right now I feel like the rewards are small and not good enough . as well as I don't like how the x ray works. It would be better if the x ray was a level up thing were the more you leveled it up the more you saw and instead of having to navigate through the body to see nudity you just saw the whole thing. my final opinion of this game it that is well made I like the art I hope there will be a harem feature and no ntr or other men and my only complaint is the x ray and lack of rewards. I would recommend this game for anyone that wants a good game to pay.

Well written and arousing. Interesting characters. Beautiful art. Wish it had more content but there is enough already that it's worth playing.

It reminds me of Summertime Saga in a lot of ways which is a huge compliment because that game is fantastic.

Great has it is, and still have so much potential, well made history with branch options and many endings, i can clearly see they put so much love, personality and work in all of this. I just wish a good work and support that i plan to give

Art is good but no real substance. Quite boring and long text that lead to no where. Its a type of game that you play and finish and leave unsatisfied at its current state. As of its current state, i do not recommend it, try back in a year or so.

So the game is beautiful and the girls are hot. Art is the best point in this one. The problem is the gameplay itself, it is full of things going nowhere and all kind of junk that makes you get bored while playing. Long dialogs with very little payoff. I want to like this game but right now i just feel i dont want to waste time with it, i hope it get better with the time

Story 9/10
Girls models 10/10
Gameplay 3/10

Arts of girls wooo hoo very hot, and making 5-6 girls with nudes/ different pose take a lot of works on drawing, and everyone of it is niceeeee. Story is kinda kinky school teacher/classmate and u are running around helping them out lol. Gameplay is for people like to chill and not think too much, and play like whatever u want, got stuck - built in walkthorugh it. Nothing satisfying to play through because it's doesn't feel like I earned the nudes/scene I hope there is more content to it and more grinding. Good job devs esp the arts +++ top arts

This could have been a great game unfortunately the dialogue is overly pandering and has way too much fluff. A lot of the interactions don't move the plot forward and make the game very tedious to play. Also the sexual interactions do not make sense. It just happens out of nowhere.

This game has some amazing potential, and I really hope that the devs keep with it. So far I have absolutely loved what I have seen, and considering it is a RenPy (mac compatibility too!) game, it is incredibly impressive, and feels like it was made in a completely different engine. The art is increndible and I love the art style.

The quests can feel drawn out at times but if you don't want to put much thought into the game, there is the tips system that works well. It is pretty short for what there is right now, and I cannot wait to see even more.

This is a good game but with some caveats. Just like every day night cycle game, there is a sense of grinding out quests, trying to figure out the next step. The environments are extremely rich with detail, HOWEVER that makes the grind somewhat tougher, trying to figure out what to click. In defense of this game, there is an amazing hint system that removes a lot of this.

But man this game is largely pros. This game thrives off its intuitive gameplay dynamic, excellent interface, and several key features. It's really early, but this is a game that is worth trying just for the cool features.

You're a guy in high school trying to get laid. There are some narrative twists but the goal remains similar to other games. There are a handful of girls to target and only a few have fleshed out lewd content as of writing this review..but there's a lot of promise.

What really sets this game apart is several key features that are completely unique. The hint system, I've mentioned. There is an X-Ray mode which allows you to see through clothes..this is kind of worth playing the game on its own, just to see that. This is probably the best technical implementation of a point and click adventure I've ever played, for what it's worth.

Combine this with excellent graphics, a nice 'dry wit' writing style, some interesting branching choices accompanied by a stats system that rewards replay, and a lot more content being teased..this is one to try and keep an eye on.

Pleasantly surprised at how well made this game is. Character interactions are fun, the plot (and the game) doesn't take itself seriously, and the artworks are great. Aside from the annoying thing with finding the location to get money, I have no complaint about the game.
Also, this game has X-RAY FREAKING GLASSES MODE! Kudos to whoever came up with the idea.

Quite a good start. The writing is pretty fun and engaging, the art is great and each girl has a distinct personality, and as everyone mentioned, body type.
Feels really comfy to just play without the lewd parts even, I enjoyed it. I probably haven't found/completed everything, so while it doesn't have too much content at the moment I can't wait for what's to come.
Definitely something to keep an eye on

This game is truly amazing. The writing is commercial game good (that's meant as a compliment) - think of the Leisure Suit Larry Games of the '80s.

The sex scenes are good and the drawings are excellent. I really like the models and all the girls are a turn on (even the MILFs, which is unusual for me).

This is a throwback to the old adventure games that I loved as a kid, but turned into a real (high quality) porn game.

Clever, inventive, and funny. It's a winner.
