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

[v0.3 p2.1 review]

What it is:
A pick-your-path story VN with excellent writing and hot models. It's funny, it's cute, it's hot. It's everything I look for in an adult VN/game.

Character portrayals is this dev's strong suit and every character is distinct and believable. I really like the varied facial expressions during conversations. The characters feel real in a way I'm not used to, playing these kinds of VN's. The crazy chick pulling a knife on me and then later breaking down in tears had me smiling ear to ear. Very well done!

Renders and character models are excellent, though maybe not spectacular.

I'll keep this review short and sweet because normally I'd find a lot to nitpick on, but not so this time. Caramba has a very complete skillset and leaves nothing to nitpick on!

The only real negative (and it's barely a negative) is the sex scenes. I feel they slightly lack eroticism and are a bit short. Still easy 4.5/5 scenes though, I just feel a good review should contain some negatives to make it fair.

I definitely recommend this game.

Back Home (v 0.3 p1.1)

Although this VN is in an early state of development it is currently a little gem for me - with much potential to shine...
hopefully with much more support and attention in the near future!

At its current state it's (only) the beginning of an odyssey of a stranded young man in the end of his vaccation to his home town . Due to a general strike (and having missed his only flight back) he has to find ways, opportunities and people (mostly girls of course!) to return to his place and his potential love (a sweet girl he has just met on the last day of that vaccation).

The start of the story

The graphics

The girls so far
MC is no dumb teeny pervert or bad guy and the girls don't jump his ridiculously oversized d*ck instantly. Wow, a relief!

Choices (there aren't too much yet)

So, nothing really to complain though (except you're extremely finical or much into kinks, which aren't there yet).

You may ask now: why only 4 stars instead of 5?
Well, see it as an encouragement and motivation for the dev - Caramba Games If he continues like that, creatively spirited and with many nice updates following, I'd be more than glad to add the one star to make it round!

I love the start... and would really like to love the end as well.
And I'll cross my fingers for the dev's great success in progress and much more support - cause that's deserved up to now!

I dont like giving 5 stars, i always find something that is annoying or just bad.

This game has different girls who dont look like dolls. Dolores looks good, she looks pretty normal girl and she is hot. The Mc dick is not out of this world and there are sex scenes without that tier bullshit.

Rnders look good, and clothes for the most part also look good. I can not find anything that i dislike and the game seems good without any specific kink.
This was a surprise to keep tabs on.

The designs of the girls are a little bit too 'pointy' around some areas for my taste, and some of the models stand out a bit (like Victoria) - in a way that gives the impression that they're imported from completely different game (minus 1 star).
But the story is engaging and relatable even thou it's a porn setup, the characters are well written and likeable, choices matter, and overall you get a 'fresh' feeling from the whole game. I like it.

Very nice writing.
The intro part really hit close to home.
/It's full of fantasy elements like going to the shop without a mask, going out with friends without a mask and so on./
Beautiful renders.
Choices having some impact on the story is a nice touch.

I don't give 5 stars easily. But this game deserves to get 5 stars. The gameplay is very nice. The renders are very good. The story is very realistic, apart from the high porn ratio. There's no grinding involved, which I find very important. Bust most important, although there isn't a lot of content, yet, the developer very well knows how to build up the story towards the erotic scenes. He somehow manages to get your hopes up and tease you just enough to be wanting to get to the erotic content. Unlike many other developers, he doesn't keep you hanging and doesn't leave you blueballed. @Caramba Games, very well done! Please keep it up! In Dutch (as the developer is Dutch, just like me): goed gedaan, man. Klasse! Ga zo door!

I really liked this one.

- First of all, the story is fresh and engaging. It makes me want to read the dialogs, instead of skipping for a quick fap.
- Characters are nice, and, form the 1st chapter, you can tell each has its own personality.
- Renders are good enough. Not the best, but good. I like that there´s a bit of animation here and there, like a motorcycle passing by, or the police car driving off. Jackies´ nipples are really small when naked, but really big when clothed, like the scne form the phone call.

All in all, it´s a game worth playing.
Hope we get frequent updates.

A great start
Realistic plot line
Liked it how you narrated the story
Nice renders
Liked the attention to details
Hope you capitalize on the potential and deliver a great story
Keep up the good work Goodluck
