VN - Ren'Py - Back Home [v0.4.p4.3] [Caramba Games]

Story 3/5
Story was pretty good and even fun at times, but also had some points where MC feels brainless but i guess thats normal and this story isent one to take serious either, atleast i dont think it was ever ment to be taken seriously, so take it for what it is and you will most likely enjoy this one.

It has a light bulb in the top right conor that sometimes pops up to give you a pointer on what to do and when its a good idea to save or just add some kind of funny comment to a scene, its a nice little thing.

Where it fails tough is the adult part which is a pretty big thing in an adult novel, the sex scenes are just really poor and not something you can really enjoy.

Girls 3/5
I mean most arent that pretty and the face is reused on 8/10 girls, theres a little diversity in builds but main focus seems to be smols, which is just what i like so im not complaining about that but others might.

Animations 1/5
They just arent good, sure there are alot of them but its alot of the same and they are always very short and jumpy/chopy, dont play this for animations.

Choices 4/5
I think most if not all can be turned down if you wish, so cant really ask for more then that.

Game is quite a bit overrated considering it fails on the adult part with pretty poor and short animations, also while story is decent due to being more on the fun side then serious and thats proberly the flaw the story never came first and same goes for animations, so nothing will really blow your mind since it dosent excel in anything really.

But still i think its worth a playthrough just dont expect to much of anything.

I played through v0.4.p4.3 in an evening or two. This is a comedic VN, that managed to keep me fairly amused with its ridiculous plot twists. The graphics are so-so, sex animations are barely present (there seems to be more attention paid to non-sex animations). There is a built-in walk-through that can be consulted for advice at branching points.

Overall it feels rather disjointed: a series of random events strung together by the plot device of a road trip, with some of them on alternate branches, so you will have to make the road trip more than once to see them all (though the dev has gone to some lengths to make it easy to explore the side branches).

If comedy is high on your list of desirable features in a VN, I suggest you check it out: you might rate it higher than I have.

It's another "that game doesn't make sense but we have okayish and lots of love interests" game.

Nothing really make sense from story to sound, decisions to graphics. Waste of time if you read all of those things.

Short summary:


Game is lame and boring. Sex scenes suck, renders are flat, girls are not very hot, story and writing didn't do anything for me.



Good Things

• The setting is new, and approach to the game differs from the other AVNs here

Bad points

• Low quality renders
• Models are dated with low details
• Animations are bad
• Navigation and choices are bad
• I didn’t get the story

TLDR: Boring and uninspired with choices that don't matter.

The dialog could have been written by a horny 13 year old. Nothing the characters say or the way they respond makes any sense. You can "Snap at" a girl multiple times and still end up at her apartment. Because guess what, they only wrote 1 story line. So you end up in her apartment no matter what.

That goes for all the options in this game. You get 2 or 3 options but all the options are fake. Or you choose to reject a girl but then another girl tells you to accept her offer anyway and you do. Because again, you are not given a real choice. There is a part where you are on the road and asked whether you want to go left or right and the MC says: "Left or right... maybe it doesn't really matter". Lazy, lazy writing.

Lastly but not unimportant, the characters are BORING. They have nothing going for them except the fact that they are all horny and were written by a horny 13 year old.

Edit: 30 minutes in and I'm already at episode 4. Bro what?? Seriously how is this a 4.5 star game with glowing reviews?

Lot of moving parts to this one but it certainly fits into the 'fun and fappable' category. Characters are cute, renders are hot, and it touches on some niche fetishes. Story is a bit hectic but not in a way that detracts from the overall experience.

This is a game I almost gave up on, but have continued to play mostly because the female characters are very hot and the story is compelling and varied enough to offer lots of variety.

Technically, it improves as it goes along (as of version 0.4 p2.2), so don't be put off with the few wonky animations or renders early on.

The story is not complicated, but is also not exactly realistic. It starts off mostly as you would expect, but certain routes do become rather ridiculous, in terms of plot. It was not a problem for me as I adjusted my expectations accordingly.

As porn, there is much to commend it. The early game doesn't offer much, but there is a lot of very nice fappable material as you go along. I quite enjoyed it.

I hope this game will get more attention. It's not best in class, but I would say better than average for what is available on this site.

This is a really nice game. The characters are very cute and the visuals in general are pretty good.

I wouldn't say the story is anything terribly unique on the surface, but the way it flows and feels actually isn't quite like anything I've played on here. The story isn't very serious or deep, but the characters feel authentic and everything moves along nicely to where it stays exciting. It actually seems focused on setting up interesting sexual situations, which in a lot of these games seems like an afterthought to telling their boring story.

I think its a fine line to make something lighthearted and fun while not being completely stupid, and this game does that pretty well. I'll take this any day over a story bogged down with endless paragraphs of boring drama, fake unnatural characters and pointless, arbitrary sex scenes.

You can't describe this game - but you have to play it...
The idea for that is simple - but the work itself is totally crazy and just brilliantly staged. You walk in a lust maze and you feel like Alice in Wonderland.
Rendering is of the finest - animations as well.
The girls just normal and very sexy and their tits - a feast for the eyes.

CARAMBA!

Totally meh. Nothing is special about this game. Everything is kinda okay except the story/writing: the whole thing is uninteresting and dumb unfortunately, that's why the low rating. There're hundreds of better games out there, even for just fapping.

(This review submitted when the game was v0.4 p2.2)

If you like easy bimbos and you couldn't care less about the story, this VN might be for you. The MC is inexplicably a ladies man. Every woman you come across seems to have great difficulty keeping their tits in their shirts in loose clothing or they are in skin tight spandex for some reason. I don't like this game, but I know that there is a fanbase for these types of VNs, so it's difficult for me to be impartial and review this fairly. Please keep this in mind during this review.

Pros:

• Original concept for the setting
• Renders are not bad
• With the acceptance that every female in this game is a horny airhead, the dialogue is not bad
• The story flows well from chapter to chapter
• Open-ended

Cons:

• Over the top ridiculousness
• Unable to avoid all sex scenes
• Not very much deviation in character personalities
• Everyone is hornier than rabbits and there is no intelligent life on this planet

Plausible explanation for this story: This is post-apocalyptic; Humanity rebuilt the world upon the ashes of the old one, but with the blueprints of modern society already laid out for them. As the demand for higher education dwindled, the demand for repopulating the human race skyrocketed, resulting in an evolution of hyper-aroused individuals with a greatly decreased IQ, and the abolishment of bras.

The story is very interesting and well written. It has several branches, so you can play it several times.
The story of the characters is also interesting and well written.
The character models, background renders and animations are ok.

Overall 4/5 stars

The made the MC a skinny dork but besides that the game is a blast and has a great story well worth the play. The female models are petty unique too not one of those VNs where all the women are massive boob super models.. im serious guys dont pass it up..........DONT PASS IT UP!!!!!

Quite interesting piece of Ren'py game. Lots of choices to be made. the only prob i had with it is the lack of direction. You arent able to decide the course you want to take and you need multiple reruns.

Enjoyed the majority of the content. Definitely worth a playthrough or two if you want to see all the paths. Will be looking forward to all future updates. Nice to see a half decent game with a mixture of petite to voluptuous. Will be more up the alley of the petite fans.

Excellent game so far, I particularly enjoyed the explanations for major choices. Hoping the developer will include more kinky sex stuff in future updates. Sex scenes are great but a little vanilla for my tastes.

Wow, just wow! I love this game! The characters are all lovable and have very different personalities. The plot is interesting and I love the humor in between. I can see that the developer really put a lot of effort to refine the game. Can't wait to see more contents in the future

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This reminds me of the movie Europtrip but in a game so many different choices and options to get with different charactes. The character development and plot is top notch I cannot wait to see what comes next great job dev!

What a brilliant game! I'm surprised I didn't notice it so far but I just downloaded it and so far it has been very good. Graphics are ok, there are a lot of animations, but that's not really important. Character models are realistic, which is a nice touch, the writing is good, dialogues feel natural and the plot is fresh and that's its strong point IMO. There is the right amount of humour, without it becoming annoying as it happens in other games and the game doesn't take itself too seriously, but the plot remains pretty consistent and the suspension of disbelief is always kept in check, which is so rare.
Unfortunately there aren't enough games which feature nipple piercing, and the character here gets quickly left behind (such a nice character though, I really appreciated how it was written).

Anyway, fantastic job.
