VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Behind The Walls [S01E03 TEST] [LStudio]

graphics actually are terrible no back ground focus at all for detail just looks like bought the body texture pre-made and didn't bother filling in rest of detail ...serious the son looks like something that walked out as a 12 year old and never matured except for a ridiculous out of proportion big dick, plot line if you wnt to call it that shallow at best dumb junk like what seems to be flooding the releases lately

I absolutely want to rate it better than average, but I just can't.

There is so much useless dialogue. The MC must be gay or something. He is surrounded by hot women, yet he insists on spending time with his fat male friend Sam.

The scenes where that same friend watches some TV shows are a complete waste of time.

I really tried to read the story, but I couldn't help myself skipping dialogue out of boredom. In the current state of the game, the story is getting nowhere.

The game was first released in december 2018, yet the poor MC still didn't even get to kiss a woman. So yeah, he must be gay.

On the plus side, the women in this game look awesome.
On the other hand, the MC looks like a 14 year old kid, even after his mysterious grow spurt in chapter 2.

Maybe I'll check this game again in a couple of years after the MC aged a bit and actually managed to get laid.

now i have played through the Game, i will try to evaluate the whole.......

EP1....
catches great Story so far so well, after all it's only the Beginning you don't expect a lot.

EP2...
Yes, unfortunately, totally disappointing .... I wonder why you waste so much time with a fat sack "Sam '' when you have such Beautiful Female Characters ....? .... I can't figure it out....

EP3....

It will be a little better but also here Yes it is "Sam" Why ...? ... Why only ...? ... I mean here the plot increases a bit more in Sexual Nature, too unfortunately something too little.

Conclusion:

what I like...

- Great Graphics (only the Normal Resolution)
- Great Renders
- Beautiful Female Character Models
- Good interface

what's not possible.....

these senseless long Dialogues with Sam I mean come on because you have Beautiful Ladies around you I shit on Samy Boy, I wound up most of the Dialogues because I didn't feel like ...

...then these different Graphical possibilities 3D, Cinema I think the Normal is enough looks Perfect Everything else is superfluous, but that's just my opinion.

my good Advice to the Dev....

Nobody cares about senseless Interactions and miserably long Dialogues, we want to see Animations (there were none in any of the 3 EP), a good story, you have Beautiful Women's use their potential and do a really cool Game, the Potential does not ruin it...!

PLEASE less Sam in the Future........otherwise you'll ruin your Game.!


I Rate the Game with Max. because I believe in the Potential of the Game and in the Dev......

I have hopes for this game. In the first episode the main character looked way too young and it almost made me just quit and delete the game entirely.

However, I caught it at episode three, I figured I could deal with it enough to give the game a chance. Maybe episode one was just the set up and we were going to time jump. Well that wasn't the case for episode two, but the creator did listen to all of the complaints and aged the MC a little bit. Now I might be able to buy them as 18, just not what Hollywood thinks 18 looks like.

The part that isn't fully explained and I had to figure out is that this game is set up like a reality show, think The Truman Show. But it's almost a parody of many adult VNs and it calls out a lot of tropes or patterns that we see in VNs, especially Ren'Py ones.

For example a scene early on in episode two, when we see the MC and Sam peeping on the neighbor lady. A similar thing I've seen in many other VNs that you don't really think about. But latter the player finds out that neighbor lady is a paid actress who is forced to be there so the boys can peep on her in the earlier scene so that the story can take place.

The "Director" is the man behind the scenes, pulling the strings in the lives of the main cast so that their story plays out as he sees fit. Almost like content creators forcing their characters to do what they want them to. It is honestly an interesting way of seeing things.

I am giving this game four stars, they are a hopeful four stars that I believe this story has the potential to live up to. Still being relatively early in it's life and short I'm not sure we can say for sure what it's worth is or will be in the future. But this is what I predict.

There's nothing I could add that hasn't been said but two star might even be a stretch.
It's had a slow development period, it's a grind to deal with the text, the renders are 'okay' but generic, the adult content feels low for how long the game has been out, the game would need a dedicated walkthrough and text fast forward just to make it bearable.
I give it the second star only because the multiple mode idea was interesting even if it was a bust, to be clear the star isn't for it being better for it just that the attempt was interesting.
Right now though the industry is saturated and this is a two (at best)

I just couldn't get past the uninteresting characters and the bad script. Coupled with the fact the game does not have and auto advance and I had to click past some very boring text. When I play these games I like my finger being tired for another reason than clicking the mouse.

This game is pretty pathetic, regardless of render quality (which is good), or story (which is bad) the amount of content is ridiculous.

1.5 years of development and there similar amount of content to what most games have on initial release.

In my opinion models/renders are great. Non conventionals, unique style.

Story a bit short for a re-release but still let me expect for more in the future.

I played as 'cinematic mode'. Hope the game will develop further.

The MC looks like a 12 year old rather than an adult. Actually a plastic version type doll of what some person imagined a child looks like. He acts like a child hiding behind chairs. People talk to him like a child. One adult even bends over like they are talking to a child. He actually gets grounded for a week at one point, no joke, pure silly. The renders are god awful. The MC sometimes has a douche bag expression which is what I can best describe it as, for extended periods of time. He acts like a brat. He is referred to as a pervert.

Dialogue is not the best and coupled with terrible renders. Just something feels off with them and some positioning of models feels odd while looking at them, unnatural in a sense. O and the beginning is trying to hint that it knows it is terrible by alluding to the fact it knows it is a porn game but because it is highlighting it you should now think of it as funny and enjoy it. Enjoyment is earned not by you highlighting you know you are a game, but through actions and world building. I don't need a game to highlight it knows what it is to cover for how bad it is in some aspects. You can't use these types of things as a shield to excuse the writing and world by playing off you are a parody of games.

I don't really know what to say, your 12 year old looking character hangs out with his friend and looks at women with binoculars.

If you enjoy it cool, everyone has different tastes. I didn't, not much more to say.

Another terrible game where the main girls have HUGE boobs but here they also look freaking anorexic.

This is the reason I deleted the game after the games first choice "hide erection", I literally cannot get past it. I am not even willing to get past this for other characters. Both female characters looks at least 30-40 years old.

I give a second star because Dev allows 3 different styles of CG which is very cool.

S01E02

Its a mixed bag. The render quality is good, the models look a but weird ... but maybe better than just the basic models from Daz.

The "story" is barebones. At the end there is a hint of more, but currently its just 2 boys bantering - and that is my biggest problem.

Yes the slonique part was fun and true and entertaining, when you know the "games" and what they stand for. For everybody else its just more pointless banter like the rest 90% of dialog.

And the 2 boys ... wow. So unlikable and gross.
I dont get that "fetish" with child-like MCs of some games. I prefer a more adult approach to the MC. I dont need a marine soldier or bodybuilder. Yes there are yound looking 18 years our there, but I am not 18 anymore and even with a young MC I want something that works for me ^^

For the future, I hope the dev will reduce that pointless (as far as I can understand it until now) dialog. I am all for build up and stuff, but all that banter between the boys is to much. You can probably cut 50+% and still get the same feel for their relationship.

In theory there is a lot of potential. "Mom" with her "boss" (for whatever reason the boss is always in quotes) and/or the workers - the option to watch and/or prevent that stuff. The sister and her dude - the same. Perfect opportunity for avoidable NTR content.

I will keep an eye on this, currently its an annoying amount of text you can safely skip and just some teasing. There is no real adult content in the game - nothing you cant see in any showergel ad in TV.

So after a year in development we have a game that constitutes 95% of the content being two dudes engaging in mediocre banter. I think I got carpal tunnel just trying to click through the dry waffling.

The models are weirdly proportioned and the mother and daughter have anorexic faces for some reason. The skin textures are also super strange, like they're covered in mud. The CG has potential but there's still a long way to go.

Other than a few nude poses there's isn't really any other interesting content.

A whole lot more content needs to be added for this game to be worthwhile. If this is chapter 2, we'll have to wait till chapter 10 before anything meaningful happens.

The game is clearly focused on milking under the shell of something better, different, innovative. We are trying to push the elongated plot to limit the possibilities and reportedly talked to move our brains is a porn game and not a lecture on philosophical topics so probably the developer has mistaken industries

This is very early at the moment but it has some good potential. The story is well written and is not just ''boom sex scene'' . The problem is the build up to the sex scene can be slow for those who dont really like to read a lot and the updates are a little slow tho but in the future this game will probably be a 5 star one

Almost a year of waiting for the update and we got ... I don't know what was the talk of two guys? one big joke as the developer intends to develop the game this 6 episode will be in 6 years defeat total waste of time wasted everything that could.

I see that after the next update(S01E03), I wasn't a little wrong about these 6 years
Damn I was wrong the game is canceled after 3 years

Happy to see Episode 2 out now and was really looking forward to play it today. Have been a patron since the initial release. Loved the visuals (now cinematic is my fav), intro and the humour. With Ep.2 I found the ironic references to the porn game world especially enjoyable and support LStudio's pledge at the end. On the downside, I'm struggling with strong antipathy for the MC's best friend, appears an abusive relation at times, and the body models of mom and older sister appear too similar (if not identical aside from texture). Ep.2 was a good continuation of the initial release and I'm curious to see the storyline further unfold.

Graphics - I think its so sharp, bright and blurry, maybe they will change that if not still not bad
Characters Appearance - Milfs are nice -always - i prefer realistic appearence, not huge penis, not massive boobs so on n so on
Story - Not bad, not boring or not funny.

Okey, here we go; with realistic appearance, ordinary n slow story - no need to speed, we dont want pieced storyline- they should mix innocent and lust, it always works, above all the game has a different consept and a perfect milf, if devs can use those cleverly, they can create a game like dual family.

Now average, in future can be good.

Behind The Walls [S01E01]
Pro
+the women look fantastic, defintely potential to become a great game base don those designs.
+mother and sister are very loving; really nice to see.
+story line is cliche but i like most of. Sister is nice and has a decent life, mother has a abusive work, but te MC could fix that and a nerd friend with a hot family.

Con
-why does the MC got to be a freaking dickhead, i dont care about the age, but you get to add a path where the mc doesnt get to be an asshole.
-also language; i get that he is jung but why does he have to bet hat vulgar, it really downs the gameplay.
-choices; for example you get to choice not to pick money from moms purse; not even 2 scenes later and the MC force fully chooses money over a kiss from the hottest mom; like for real?

What i would like to see is some rewriting purely for the mc; plz dont make him a snotty dumb kid, make this game enjoyable..
If the game gets nicer probably 4 stars; now it just barely gets 2,


Sorry,
~ a potential fan

The game opens with a double-whammy of bad signs: a douchey intro featuring a (possibly ironic, possibly not) meta-narrative and a litany of spelling and grammatical errors. [For the record, a word ending in "S" doesn't require an apostrophe unless you're implying ownership. "Marriage's" is never correct.]

Then follows a fairly standard incest story cliche opening with above average renders of a family. The protagonist is, as always, a snotty-looking boy of indeterminate youth. Unfortunately, the mother and sister characters both look the same age, somewhere in their mid-forties. In-game text implies the sister is only slightly older than the protagonist, so this is confusing.

The short amount of plot we're allotted is bloated with "humorous" dialogue between the protagonist and his friend, mostly consisting of insults and name-calling.

At the moment (Version Alpha) there isn't anything here I'd recommend.

Though the storyline is a bit cliched, the absolutely beautiful renders more than make up for it. Looking forward to seeing more. I've since become a supporter on Patreon and hoping that the dev continues to push out regular updates.
