VN - Ren'Py - Bad Memories [v0.9.1] [recreation]

Good game! Interesting characters and Rachel is hot! Grammar could use a clean up but a good game nonetheless. The story is entertaining. Not sure about 'molesting' Katie. This could have been handled better. Perhaps press forward on a hunch or something of the sort. Still it is a game and I was entertained!

The concept and story has potential, but the dialogue needs a lot of work. There are problems with grammar, and even when the grammar is technically correct, it feels really awkward and unnatural. A good editor fluent in English could probably improve things immensely.

This is probably one of the best games I've played on here (v0.6). The renders are amazing. The writing is really good and keeps some mystery that intrigues you further. The pace is pretty good. You don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops and play the 'what time do I have to be in what place' game that other games suffer from. I've really enjoyed this game.

The dialogue and characters in this game are terrible. No one acts like a functioning human. Sounds like it was written by someone who has never had a conversation with another person before. the story I guess is cool but none of the characters are relatable in any way. I played as a guy only but i feel like the game would still be worse if the MC was a girl. The only reason to play this game is to fuck the silent little sister. But the graphics are not good enough to play the game just for that reason. In conclusion this game is not fun, realistic, hot, or at all worth playing.

The only Bad Memories this left are the ones on me.

Firstly this vn expects you to molest your sister's therapist Katherine, you have the option to say no but the vn registers that you did. I found this out after having confronted Katherine (after she knocked out her ex) and the scene plays exactly the same regardless if you chose to molest her on either occasions or not (the dialogue mentions you molesting her even when you haven't etc etc).

Later on you realise that Katherine was the girl you saved from being raped. So not only does this girl feel indebted to you, but most probably infatuated and explains why she didn't knock you the fuck out when you molested her. That didn't make me feel crappy at all.

Another great thing happens when you wake up to being sexually assaulted by your sister but should you tell her to stop you receive a game over because you hurt her feelings... OK.

So your father's ex Rachel is taking an experimental drug that has a side effect of making her very susceptible to suggestions while also not being able to remember anything the next day. Obviously, the mc will use this to their advantage but you find out you're not the only one as its implied your sisters best friend Jada has also been abusing her (she knows about the drugs and finding her leaving Rachel's bedroom during the hour she's drugged up... ). Glad I convinced Rachel to let her stay at the house for a while.

I could go on but I think I made my point.

Katherine and Rachel are hot so I'll give this 2 stars for them.

Edit: after playing a plethora of awful vn's since this review (many highly rated), I think it's only fair to add an extra star.

I gonna try my best to rate this game according to my review.

Story 3/5 - It is not very intresting and not many intresting choices but it does keep you going. Sometimes the dialogues are different regarding the choices you made which doesnt mention in the next dialogue from your choice.

Renders/animations = 4/5 - they are better and ejoyable looks decent.

The only reason the I gave this game 4 star is because of the character Ellie she is the best and because of the animations. Animations are awesome too

Good luck for your next update.

There's something about Bad Memories that keeps me coming back to it again and again. If I had some money coming in I'd be passing some of it along to the dev. But I don't, so I can't. Sorry.

You can play as a male or female with appropriate changes to the scenes and dialogue, though it doesn't seem to change the actual story a great deal. The characters are all interesting and quite beautiful (especially Ellie who has the virtue of being almost totally silent!) I don't think there's a single character in the game that I didn't like after the first playthrough when the story had progressed a little.

A lot of effort has been put into this one, I think. From the character's expressions to their posing and the backgrounds and the individual stories for the characters. All looks good to me. Very good, in fact.

Bad Memories v0.6 Story is decent, action scenes are pretty good. Only negative is that it seems to be a bit "on rails" as far as decisions. Still excited to see where it all gets to in the end. Lots of hot girls to explore.

Animations 5/5
Story 4/5
Characters 5/5

Incest aside, this is a solid game, and one of two games that I ignore said tag and keep playing; Bone Tales The Manor is the other game. The story is decent and does a good job of hooking the player, my opinion. The characters are interesting, likeable, and well written. The animations are very smooth and fluid with just the right angles. The MC can be a bit annoying at times, but that doesn't hurt the rating in the least.

Fun game, worth a playthrough.

Review is based on 4.1, haven't played in a couple of updates, but will be playing the recent 0.6.

Absolutely amazing!
Intriguing story, interesting characters, perfect rhythm, great visuals, thoughtful and funny interactions...
Ellie is the sexiest and loveliest being I can imagine, and the other girls are super hot too.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece, my dude! Keep up the great work!

This is a really good and cute game. Story is fit for the plot. Renders and girls are beautiful. Sandbox part of the game is comfortable. Seems like choices are matters. Lewd scenes are hot and arousing.

This is a legit review. Please don't false flag!

This game is an odd one, on one hand it has a relatable protagonist with family strife with his not mother (Racheal) on the other hand it has some of the worst supproting characters I have ever seen in one of these games, from the weird mute Chucky looking girl. (I do mean girl, she looks like she is 14 years old tops, Its creepy) to the most unlikable character of all her b!tchy tutor, who is just permanently on the rag & you're supposed to want to do this awful woman, with her resting b!tch face?

Crazy thing is I find myself drawn into the story with the Racheal character, she seems more layered than the rest, obviously she's more interesting than the jailbait mute living with you, but she actually has a lot of character depth compared to all of them even the protagonist himself.

Pros
-Great animations (At least for the Racheal character anyway)
-Good Story
-Protagonist has depth

Cons
-Bulk of the supporting NPC's are unlikable save for 2 (Protag & Racheal)
-TOO MUCH emphasis is placed on Ellie & her creepy dead eyes lusting for the protagonist
-There is some borderline assault scenes in the game that ain't my cup of tea

One of the most interesting stories I've seen in any of these games! The reluctant prodigal return, the slow unveiling of the story behind it, the trauma of his, well, what is she? still to be determined, the slow build of lust, trust, the ravages of desire withheld & the attendant anticipation, the promises of action beyond the original intimate group, but I will come back to the most important factor, the story, character building & development, always a mystery in the background waiting to be discovered. Uncompleted it is too short, but I suspect that even the full game will leave its advocates panting for more.

Bad Memmories is absolutely one of my favorite games I have found via f95zone, I have been both playing and backing this title since it first dropped. Its odd that I have not until now reviewed the title, or is it? In fact I only just figured out how to review titles on f95 so there is that.

Anyway Rec has created a fantastic story here, the game mixes well Narrative and Sandbox aspects. With stunning renders done in Daz studio, with lots of custom hand made content.



Game Play:

Really good, as said above the game mixes narrative driven and sandbox play in a nice way. The Sandbox aspect never leaves you feeling lost but also doesn’t feel like your choices in sandbox really drive anything so its more an illusion of control. for the most part the game feels like an interactive story game with Sandboxy elements.

Story:

The story is both original and compelling. With the characters being interesting, and the plot has me waiting for each new release to find out what’s going to happen next. So far there are a lot of unanswered questions, and many questions with their answers only hinted at.

Renders;

A++ Rec’s girls are lovely and beautify lit, and range from slightly loli to milf. Scene framing is excellent. Animated segments are outstanding, however there are no secondary animations during dialog

H Scenes:

Are for the most apart non-interactive, but hot and stunningly rendered. The Characters and story really push my buttons.

Backing:

Ok I have been backing this one since it began, it’s the only title I have done so for. Though Rec’s release rate is sometimes slow and or chaotic. When rec drops, it’s usually it has been worth the wait.

Disclaimer: This review is opinion-based and not a technical review.
This game is awesome, the story so far is really great, the characters are fun, the renders are amazing, the only bad thing is that the Dev can't become 4 people and have 4 supercomputers to make both their games faster, but for real Rec, so far this game is really good, I do have some questions that maybe will change this rating in the future, but so far this is one of my favorites, and I'll be following its progress.

I've played a few versions of this game and am disappointed in the overall direction the game and writing are going. There's no build up of relationship with the younger sister and goes straight to a sexual relationship with her. The "mom" is basically a drug addict that likes to lie and keep secrets from the "MC". The models used are actually pretty good compared to a lot of games that I've played, but the overall dynamics of the game are flat.

The dev tries to pull you in with the cute models and sex, but that's it. The storyline is the same as 90% of the "family" games out there that doesn't really make it stand out. Overall progression of the game seems to be drawn out and stagnant over the last 6 months or more since I started playing it.

I know it's a porn game and players are expecting to see the sex, but with no development of characters it seems that's just it. If I was looking for straight up adult material I could find it on quite a few adult sites online. Another game on here that I won't mention because of the rules makes you get drawn into the game and actually care about the characters. The sex part is a secondary part of the game that comes after the development of the storyline and characters.

This game could have a lot of potential with a major overhaul of the storyline and character behavior. Making a connection with the characters is almost more important to me than the "adult" stuff.

Excellent game. Interesting characters. The story is good enough to follow. Render quality is exceptional as well.

We can choose to play as male or female protagonist. Not many game have this option. So, this is an interesting features as well.

From reading the thread.. it is clear that players have their own favorites. Some like Rachel, some like Katherine, some like Ellie, Jada, Hanna etc. This is a proof that the game has many interesting characters. And this is good.

This game has so much potential and if feels like there's so much story dev still wants to tell i just can't help but get excited to see whats coming our way every update. The characters are likeable, the models are gorgeous, the story is good, and the renders are beautiful! What is not like about this game?! Just give it a try. Now!

As a lurker I try to never engage in any type of communication with other humans, even on the internet. However, this game is just too good not to review.

Best/Unique things: Female protagonist, characters are extremely interesting and relatively complex, renders are incredible, naughty scenes are fantastic, story for the most part actually makes sense, Ellie, and... and... well overall it's just so good.

Just forgot to rate the game ,the game is about the mc and his difficult childhood. During the early releases it was only available as a male but now there are 2 options. The plot is intresting the renders are good and the dilemma whether she is our sister or not is also very interesting.
A solid 10/10
Edit 0.6 v
So the game did progressed more than what i thought from last time katie, elle, rachel all got some of their back story and the cliffhanger that elle is normal in last that katie told is also there. So far i m satisfied by the story only part missing is Rachel's part like not a significant content in her storyline or it seems for me only i guess nonetheless rating remains same
