Ren'Py - Abandoned - Apartment Building [v0.21] [Anton]

I've been looking for a game like this for several months... The real P ones? I skip them quickly—I don't find them interesting or fun, except for one exception. But I kept hope, and I stumbled upon this one… but abandoned?? Nooo! It had so much potential to be ultimate.

Well, there were some flaws for me. First, in the beginning, it's very unclear—the hints aren't clear, and sometimes you have to click randomly to find a girl who isn't even displayed. But if you stick with it and don't give up in the first half-hour, once you get going, the hide-and-seek gameplay becomes interesting. And from the first interaction, the hints improve, even though thankfully, you don't need them as much later on.

The sandbox is the kind of sandbox I appreciate, which isn't always done this well. Right from the start, the world feels huge, even though there aren't that many locations—that part is well done. But since it's incomplete, you're afraid it'll end abruptly… When you're fully immersed in the experience, all that's missing are better excuses for the X scenes to keep you engaged. At first, there's a bit of story, but very quickly, it turns into: "Come to my place, I have a surprise for you." That's a shame because there was potential.

Honestly, the videos chosen, the characters—everything fits together well. The lack of a proper story isn't a huge problem, but they could have at least come up with better justifications. Sometimes, it just feels like clicking to get to the next scene, and the video game aspect, which was solid at first, gets lost.

It's disappointing that it's been abandoned. There are tons of girls, tons of possibilities, and zero exploitation of them, despite the game being five years old. That said, there are still several hours of gameplay, which is great, but the lack of polish really stands out—it could have been an amazing AVN.

In terms of quality, there are still quite a few good aspects, hence the well-deserved 4 stars. First, the cast and its size, the well-made sandbox—though to improve it, there should be shortcuts to access the map without going through the room… You can progress in any order you want, the scenes are repeatable, and that’s a luxury—awesome! In short, everything else is great.

Real Porn games arn't usually my thing, but gave this a go and have to admit to find it one of the better ones.

There is no money or stat grind, however there is a girl status/scene grind which can be confusing without using both the ingame hints and the WT.

It has it's bugs and faults, but the Dev shows to take great care in choosing, editting scenes, so the visuals reflect the story/conversation, especially in the scenes without sound where you see a girl talking and read the text of what she says. Here the sound has been removed because in the real porn movie she says something very different!

Otherwise scenes has sound, sometimes too low though and that's a shame.

Some of my favorite porn stars are among the girls, that's a plus, and I got introduced to a few new ones to enjoy browsing for

Starting from beginning to end of contents will give a lot of playing hours, so there is a lot in it.

Could wish for a better detailed in game hint system at times, so we didn't need a text WT to look at on the side.

Final note: All girls appear to have bonus content after you've completed their story. Easiest to find out if going to the places where you didn't get a scene with them before, just a talk or whatever.. after their story is completed, you get a bonus scene instead in those locations.
This is an extra positive touch I like a lot!

Would have given 3-3½ stars, but chose 4 to show my love

Just straight up nothing to do, boring af. No instructions, no directions, just moving between rooms hoping for the best...

At least have some intro text or choose mc name. You'd have a more interesting time just going to watch normal porn

I can't comprehend why anyone would even think to rate this above one star. This is the most poorly coded, generic shovelware, "my first renpy sandbox" garbage I've seen in a long time. Not only is there less than zero story, but there's nothing to do AT ALL. You click thought the boring open sandbox to get +1 a day to every girl you bother to find until a scene happens. And on top of nothing to do, once you do "advance" to the next section of the girl's "story," it's timed and padded so you have to pass ANOTHER week of in-game time to do the next event. You have to click on tiny buttons to get to any location, most locations are empty 99% of the time, and the English isn't even decent. And one funny thing is if you miss a button, since this is made so poorly, it refreshes the entire screen. But if you are stuck in one of the menus, you have to click the tiny OK button because this was made to be as tedious as possible. There are even two girls that have names so similar, the Dev gets confused and gives you points for the WRONG GIRL. I knew when I clicked on this thread that it'd be yet another boring empty sandbox with nothing to do, but my GOD, even the things to do are boring. You're better off just finding the stolen porn videos this uses. At least then you don't have to do 357 extra clicks to get to the content. You get to look at the default frame background, default font, and stock apartment photos with poorly scrapbooked cut-outs of the same 20 porn actresses you see all the time and are rewarded with the same videos you've seen 100 more times.

Very difficult to work out what to do without some kind of hint system- only realised that you could exit the building by clicking on the map at the end of day three, for example. The hints around the girls seem to be very vague at the moment.

Most of the scenes look to have been used in other games (Tale of One City especially).

There's quite a lot of grind, which isn't really helped by time and location specific requirements. The grind seems to be being used to pad the story out.

I know its early days at the moment, and the bones of the game are there, but the dev will need to do something pretty special to make this game anything above average for a sandbox city game.

one of my favorite real porn games. if you want good sex scenes w sound then this is a must play. the only downside is that there isn't much of story but still really fun and enjoyable. He also recently put in a hint system which is good.

sorry for my english, it's very bad.

I love this game, straight to the point bluntly.. the scenes are hot, and worth it! games with real porn are scarce.. THIS IS WORTH IT.. I hope you continue with this project, I will be here waiting for every update.. Thank you very much!

Last updates take out the whole fun from the game. You have no idea what to do, you have to go to the forum and ask other people as randomly clicking around in different days and time of the day is not kind of a thing that you want to see in game that type

Good videos, nice that they have sound, pretty good story progression, a little hard to find where to activate things at times, not clear where people will be found for their next events.
Some people you have to wait weeks to work up their rating and they only show up the same time as other people which takes you out of the game as you just have to skip weeks forward to make progress then.

Its barely functional.
terrible UI
annoying navigation
All the game is is repeat action 10 times to see new scene rinse / repeat.
You only get 4 actions a day and then you have to navigate back to your apartment, navigate back to your room and then go to sleep. Ending the day feel like its 30% of the game time .Seriously Dev just add an end day button thats available in every navigation window.

You have ten times the same interaction and then see a progress scene and maybe unlock a new place for ten times the same interaction. The writing is incredible basic it kinda ruins my mood, because it's an chore. It's just not worth it over just looking at the videos online.

I had not much expectation with this game and it has the usual weaknesses of HTML pseudo sandbox real porn games. But the author was very efficient in handling his assets and the game is clean and almost bug free (except the current one with Madison-Adrianna as of 0.6). The good point for the game is a well chosen clip sequencing with coherent scenery. The weakest point is the dubious logic for the progression of relationships, this triggers some bad grinding while for most girls it is easily avoidable. For instance I was slown down by my hyperactivity... you have to wait at home sometimes which is counter-intuitive in this type of game. But in the end the game is quite coherent and it made me happy for a few hours, which is not an easy task . The language translation could be polished (but is not detrimental to the progression), some porn stars, while quite professional are too old for my taste (there is no arguing here, it could be a strong point for some), sex action is good but rather tame by 2022 standards (7 on 10 on my hardcore rating). The author seems very capable and willing to improve his game so he deserves some praise. My opinion is that if you accept its inherent limits you can have some fun, even if no miracle is to be expected. So keep up the work and send more students to this empty high school and on the beach...

This game is dumb. Also, I love it. I don't know what that says about me.

There's barely any story, it's just a mostly interactive porn delivery system on a scheduler. The scenes are selected well, the coding seems solid... I'd argue about the typos and remaining Russian language script but honestly, who cares? It's coded well, balanced pretty well... yeah. As simplistic as it is, this one's a keeper.

Scenes are nice, but the gameplay is a boring "talk to this person 10 times at the exact same spot to unlock a scene" slog. Mediocre game at best, lazy design at worst. You're better off just looking at the scenes in the game files.

Aparment Building v0.2 is an amazing game. This game makes use of real porn genre in a new perspective, unlike many games which utilizes html platform. Visual screening and how the videos are played are also very satisfying in terms of its size relevant to the game screen. Hopefully more storyline can be integrated to make the flow of the game more natural and character development reasonably believable. Some tweaks to game mechanics may also be great for QoL purposes (like having to go back to your apartment at the end of the day is a bit of a hassle).

I find this format of the game to be very refreshing, and immersive and would like to see further development in near future!

Current version: 0.2

I like this game so far.

Pro:
- alot of content
- content is matching with surroundings
- good models
- simple gameplay
- no need to farm cash or grind too much

Cons:
- a button to forward time should be in every location on the map or in UI
- there are no tips when clicking on the models so u have to search where to go next
- some grammar/spelling fails (and I am not a native English)
- the filesize gonna be a problem in future updates. maybe shrink those clips a bit

To sum this up: It is a game which is really fun to play and lots of content with a few minor disadvantages which aren´t worth reducing a star yet.

As of 0.1, this game has a lot of great potential. There is already a ton of content and all of the scenes have a steady level of progression and escalation. There is minimal grind, though it is sometimes a little unclear as to what to do next (even if you have repeated some scenes, they will sometimes have a new path once you have progressed with certain characters).
It's definitely worth playing through at the moment and I'm interested to watch how the game develops.

Decent enough game. Tentative recommendation.

Pros:
Alot of content as of v0.1.
Porn scenes are hot and robust.

Cons:
Not alot of story here.
Not alot of text, like only a sentence for each scene.
This game is just clicking to get more stats to get to the next porn scene.

If you're looking for a game to mindlessly click through and fck some hot babes, then this game is your jam. Or elses there's nothing very special here.
