VN Ren'Py Abandoned Back to Life [v0.05.1] [AravaGames]

[sakuyas_mmaster]

Game looks good. The girlfriend is pretty and sweet. Her mom seems a bit slutty, but who is gonna complain about that in a porn game? Her sister seems to be pretty, but a bit stupid for dating a douchebag. MC's mom is hot. Only MC's sister is meh. She says she's 18, but she looks and acts like she's 12. Hopefully we can stay platonic with her and there is content with the other women, because I'm not keen on this loli stuff...

Anyways, the renders are looking nice and the anal scene with the girlfriend was well done.

The visuals are clearly the strong side of the game, models, renders and animations are all good but this is also where the good ends. The English translation is terrible, barely readable sometimes, and where the story is going is completely unclear for now. It could go the harem route or the NTR route , which sadly is likely as the SS page has an NTR tag and on itch the Dev is already dodging the question of harem or not.

I guess we currently have 6 different LIs in the game for now and they even have a nice variety 2 MILFs (MCs mom and his girlfriend's mom), 2 girls at a similar age to the MC (the girlfriend and her sister), and 2 younger ones (MCs younger sister and her best friend).

 

[punisher2099]

The English translation could definitely use some work.
Meg looks like Olivia Wilde.
Emma looks like Elisabeth Hurley.
Dev needs to come clean about the future tags. Already the cliché assholes ready to make a move on the girls now that the mc is out (for how long who knows) I don't even trust the supposed "best friend"

I ask the dev on itch regarding the Tags and for the most part these were his answers, although it seems that the game could be harem, I think he does not have a well defined history (since he says that he has not thought so far yet) or the events that he has planned for it, so it is better not to take those answers as something 100% sure, also the part that says "for now" imo implies that anything can happen ,at the end I don't know if I got rid of my doubts, or if that answer generated more (place your bets )

So the options are:

1. His english is so bad that he has no idea why he put the NTR tag over at Subscribestar.
2. He plans to keep the first few updates kosher and then BAM sucker, dick slap to your face.

If I may be cynical about it, either of the two may lead to some nasty surprises. I have seen both used as reasons a dev adds some shit from out of left field. Most important when a dev answers so ambiguously leaving himself so much room to move, it is suspicious as fuck. Guess I'll refrain for some time before trying this VN.

 

[incest lover m/s]

very promising game I liked it congratulations to the developer it is on the right track

I think it is no. 1... for now, they do seem to be a bit all over the place with genre choice.

Anyway.

To all those with NTR concerns.

I think it was a case of dev not knowing certain tags full meaning.

This was their answer when asked for clarification on itch.io (the language barrier doesn't help).


My guess is, I think they classified MC cheating on the girlfriend as NTR, without realising that tag is only when an MC is cheated on.

Although that for now may mean in the future if they feel like it... but well going off that answer it isn't planned currently at least.

I was just talking shit but if I am to be serious on that subject, I am of the opinion that it has to do more with a cultural difference than a language barrier. That is why me and another user were joking on the first page of this thread that this was another "Russian harem romance" VN. Now I will not talk about this specific dev because I have refrained from playing this VN (for the reasons mentioned in my previous post) and because he has not yet crossed any line even if the groundwork appears to be laid out.

Now for what I have gathered by looking up statistical studies (there are very few about Russia) and reading anecdotal accounts. It appears that fucking around on your spouse/significant other, is somewhat normal in Russia (mostly Moscow) to the point that it is not as frowned upon as in most countries. I am not saying they do it more because it is almost the same proportion as in other countries but it is not as big a taboo there. So for them it is not as big a deal for a partner to fuck around even with the partner knowing about it.

I think some Russian devs are aware of this to some extent but prefer to be ambiguous in their communication, using phrases like "for now" or promising that the harem romance will form at a later time. Their casual view on LIs fucking around is in direct contention with the alpha male harem romance most of us expect.

Damn it I got caught in the harem hypothesis and fucked it up a bit but change it for romance and you get the idea.

hmmmm, I would suspect that is more men fucking around than women. But I see your point.

Well they are fighting for equality in that front too. I mean it's simple mathematics.

OK I'll see myself out.

 

[Qwertyuiop1234567890@#£%&]

It will be good to have harem.

 

[NakkiMuki]

I also went to read those texts and now a little scared. It is clear that DEV does not know anything about any of the tags. That is, a surprise NTR may be in store. This is also because DEV knew nothing about the NTR or many other things related to the game and certainly can’t look at it through the eyes of NTR haters. Even though it said only 1 dick, I dare to be skeptical.

 

[BabooJ1]

Just started with this game and oh my... what a boring game, even the renders are low res, the models are good but the story is the most annoying crap you can find.
Who would play an annoying guy who has an annoying girfriend, an annoying job, who lives an annoying life in an annoying appartment.
And more his girlfriend has an annoying sister who is tempting you with her assets but you as a moron MC you mostly don't dare to look at her because you have a girlfriend !
Who wrote that crap, he must certainly never had a girlfriend or a wife and learned about sex by watching porn and housewife TV shows.
The "Oh my god, she just saw that i was watching her ass, my life is over" is pathetic, grow a pair, be an adult and look at those tits and asses that those girls have prepared for you by wearing almost nothing !
Life is short and if your girfriend gets mad and ditch you after her sister tells her you are a pervert, thank god because it will spare you a married life in hell!
Her beauty, her pussy, her mouth and her butthole are not pure gold and don't deserve a lifelong harsh punishment.

How true is that statement about men would always look. I told me wife a long time ago that it is in a man's nature to look and there is nothing she could do about it. I even told her that it probably works both ways where she is probably looking at other men also. I told her that looking is just natural and taking it further is where the line is drawn and both agreed to this.

 

[Vrijgeest]

The Engrish is horrendous. No wonder many find it boring. Please get a proof reader.

 

[BabooJ1]

There has been talk of NTR and I've been thinking about this and can only conclude that if MC's mom is also an LI and she continues to have sex with her husband (MC's father) then that would count as NTR in my books.

Pity if this happens as one of my biggest kinks is mother and son relationships and if MC's mom does continue to have sex with her husband then I will not pursue a relationship with her.

Yo bro you think exactly the same way I do. If the mother is LI, then the father is also counted as NTR shit.

 

[JohnLewd]

I really liked the game so far, the renders are good enough, the story is interesting for me, love the sexual remarks and tention, that builds up towards the MC by different women around his girlfriend, leading to more seductive sex scenes in the future. Like that the women are not some "womanists" and are showing feminine traits. Hoping for less lesbian stuff, if it's planned to have any to be at minimum, really not my thing, also wish you luck with the game, looks promising, keep it up. Any date for the next version? Thanks

 

[varkatzas666]

Looks promising,waiting for more

 

[Carezam]

I have to say that it looks extremely promising. A game with girlfriend's sister doesn't appear very often. I am looking forward to the future updates. Keep up the good work.

BUGS and PROBLEMS report

If you rewrite over a saved game, frequently the game crashes later on. Fortunately,
there is the option to ignore the error flag and keep going. This is something to look at.

My biggest problem with the game is the limited choices available forcing the game into a linear direction
culminating with the fatal beating at the end.

I do not like the library scene. Yes, there is somejerk offending Mom. For the MC to tell him off and leave it
at that when Mom told him no, is really dumb. The game should have given the MC the choice to decide to do
nothing and simply walk away.

Worse than that is the encounter with somejerk and Michael. Mouthing off somejerk, hitting him, then walking
away because his friend tells him it's a good idea is the dumbest action ever. Plus, who put the MC in charge
to protect his sister Lana? It's like they already are married or lovers. If it were me in the situation I would do
one of two things. 1) Inform Michael of the inappropriate actions somejerk did with Mom and Sister and try to get
Michael to get away from that creep. When that failed, simply walk away to inform the women what happened to
make clear they are total losers. With that, no reason for somejerk to attack the MC later on. 2)You can leave the
initial encounter as is until the point when somejerk threatens to kill the MC. Choice then should be either to walk away
as already done in game or go back. I would go back and beat him until he cracked promising to leave everybody alone.
Somejerk would then go after weaker people as bullying is his nature. OR if somejerk did not crack still vowing hurt
or revenge on the women or the MC, then as the MC I would kill him. If the cops did show up, MC would explain it's a
situation of self-defense. More likely if somejerk's body was simply tossed into a trash bin, nobody would know or care
and he would just be another missing person.

If possible, I would have liked the choice of either having the MC visit his family which already happens in the game OR
allow him to skip it all spending the day with his girlfriend. This would prevent/tone down the romance the MC has with
his sister, increase it with his girlfriend, so later on when the sister complains about the bully somejerk, he would say
it's your problem sis, you deal with it. No encounter then with Michael and the bully somejerk so no fatal beating at
the end.

Regarding the comments earlier about games including this one needing a female main character is unfair to the developer.
The entire storyline of this game is centered around a single MC who is male. Any female MC here would be a whole new game. There are games with female MCs such as Chloe 18. Those wanting to play such games should do so and comment
with them how to improve such games.
