Ren'Py - AVA Velanox [v1.1] [AVA Velanox]

There are truths in the other reviews, but I believe that because the developer is very communicative, with interesting presets and characters. There is a lot of grinding in the game and the spacing between scenes is a bit wide, with some annoying mini-games, it could safely be a 4 star game

this review is for 1.0 version. i say it frankly unless you see its on 1.2 or 2.0 or something else, with some reworks to some H scenes and the quest systems dont bother. hours can get wasted for nothing. i genuinely think it can get a 3.5 or 4 from me if the game was not grindy like this and wish the dev the best.

I get what the dev was trying to do, but the problem is this game doesn’t really have any strengths of its own. That alone kills my interest in following it. The story started with some cool setup about being hunted by the mother of a girl tied to the MC, and then—boom—completely dropped. Never mentioned again. On top of that, there are way too many characters, and the dev clearly couldn’t give everyone proper screen time.

Even if I ignore the half-assed story, the rest of the game is just as bad:

• The UI is a cluttered mess, and sometimes it blends so hard into the background it’s a pain to even look at.
• The H-scenes take forever to unlock, and when you finally get them, they’re short as hell. Low quality, weak dialogue, zero emotion. Feels like a complete waste of time grinding quests just for a few seconds of disappointment.
• Way too much repetitive bullshit. You spend weeks of in-game time just to finish a quest, and sometimes there’s not even an H-scene at the end of it. Some quests demand stats like “affection 15,” but you can only talk to the girl once or twice a week. That means you’re stuck wasting 15 goddamn in-game weeks just to move forward, only for her to spit out two lines and tell you to fuck off until next week.

this is a game for people who have way too much free time and can bust a nut to H-scenes that last all of ten seconds. If that’s you, maybe you’ll enjoy it. But if you’re hoping to actually spend time with a girl you like, don’t bother. With how many characters there are, odds are the one you like won’t even have proper scenes or content. Total waste of time."

I don't even know what to say.
Spent several hours just grinding through quests and still haven't unlocked a single proper h-scene.
The girl, that you would expect to have the most events (because you literally live with her), has pretty much none, about 4 quests and that's it, again zero h-scenes.
Some girls require to have over 15 affection to progress but you only have 3 actions per day, excluding midnight, and not every part of the day a girl would be available. Which means you need to spend over a week in game just talking to one girl.
At the start I was trying to read what the dialogs are even about but then i just stopped, because most quests don't even have proper scenes.
I see a lot of potential, but its a complete mess.

Oh and of course. You walk into your naked sister in the shower and the best thing you can do is give her a fucking bar of soap?
I mean, come on...
