VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Between Two Worlds [Ch. 10] [Drooskati]

High quality visuals and decent characters, but glacial pacing and very little interactivity.

Gave up on this after several hours. The content I saw was generally decent, and the setup had the potential to become something more. But after several hours of reading, nothing had grabbed my interest.

I appreciate that most of the characters, including the MC, are relatively grounded and reasonable. A refreshing change compared to most games in the genre. And the graphics are technically very high quality - lots of unique characters, environments, poses, etc.

Unfortunately, neither of these strengths really accomplish much by themselves. Without skillful build up and direction, the high quality nude models aren't particularly sexy. And decent character writing alone isn't enough to justify hours and hours of meandering plot.

My review may not fit everyone as I did not play the whole game.
I just could not put up with it. The initial build up is so bland and mundane that it could not hook me to it. I played the first chapter and half naturally but the story was poor and thought to skim some to see how it is and yet nothing good to be found.
The most annoying thing about this VN is, all the models are ugly as fuck... The renders make me feel like it's pre-2020 era.

I could not find a single thing about this VN attractive. Even the SFX is garbage. I wonder how a VN like this get this well rating.

Well written script, with few to no grammatical errors. Good renders and videos. Paths didn't feel as varied as I expected them to, so it kinda felt like a waste to replay. On the good path there is a LI that is avoided on the evil path, but the "replacement" character is only supporting on the evil path. Ironically the replacement supporting character becomes an LI off-screen between last scene and mini-epilogue on the good path, which felt out of nowhere considering she felt ignored on that path.

There is 2 parts to this game.
One is the relationship between this group of friends that start in our world and their adventure after they are transported to a fantasy world.

The fantasy story is not very unique and their adventures and people they meet there (other than dealing with the main atagonist) are quite random and do not play a big role.
It didn't make any sense that MC supposedly had this huge power, but he could never do anything useful with it, except for the final fight.
All in all this isekai story could have been much better.

The more interesting part and why the game is on this site, is the relationship between members of this group of friends. I went witht he harem route and really liked how Skylar and Emily joined in. I'd have liked to see much more of that, whether separately or all together. I'd have loved to see their kinks to be explored a bit more.

Could have been a 4, but that ending knocked AT LEAST an entire point off.

There's a lot of talent on display from the devs, but it's pretty obvious that they just got lazy towards the end. Visuals are good, the characters are (mostly) good, though there's only like a scene or two with a few of them. There was so much potential here, but tbh it was pretty unfulfilled. I'm not sure running off to make the sequel was the best choice when this game's sudden, jarring conclusion doesn't make me want to play a sequel.

Spoiler free: go play it, although the reviews overrate it a little bit

SPOILERS!!
It's not bad but I think it could've been great and it just isn't, which is frustrating. The ending is really rushed and there is not much development of the romance part of the harem, with Kaylee being totally sidelined, some sex scenes post final battle would've been nice as well as some explaining of why some characters kept their powers and the relationship between the protagonist and the other world.

Talking about the final battle, it felt quite bland. At no point of it you feel that there is something at stake nor any kind of challenge. The battle develops with the party knowing they will win and without many difficulties, which is a bummer considering the anticipation built around it.

Some of the side story lines (specially the pirate one) end in quite an anticlimactic way, and the whole story of Chad and Hannah connected to the other world is quite literally unresolved, even when the story tells you it will resolve it.

Despite all of this the story is quite nice and the relationship between the characters and their banter is fun to read. It also has cool animations.

I really love this game!
The story, while nothing groundbreaking, is enjoyable, the characters likeable and well written, and there is a good amount of scenes. I also love how the Devs included DND and general fantasy tropes into the story itself, it's very well done. Gonna buy it on steam and wishlist the next part too.

Looking forward to the next game.
Keep it up!

A great game with a great plot, excellent characters and a wide array of sex scenes and sexy stuff to keep you going right up until the incredibly disappointing ending.

You can really tell the devs got bored at the last hurdle. Game just goes "Yay, you won. 6 months later you marry your girlfriend and here's some sequel bait."
No explanation for anything that happens after you complete your quest [if you play the game you'll know how daft that is], no explanation about the very obvious changes in attitudes some of the girls have (at least in the good harem ending I got), and several plot points just never get resolved or even acknowledged, like the devs couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

Still worth playing and a far better game than most, but the ending just balls it up.

I gave it a 5 though the game is not perfect, 4.5 is the right overall rating imho.

The overall fantasy plot is interesting. There is a lot of D&D roleplay.
The game is long overall, I think at some points the pacing might be a bit off.

The characters look good, they have different personalities and there is character development. The scenes also look good.

You can go on two different paths, after completing the game with one I still have a bunch of scenes which I haven't seen, though I will take a look at them with the gallery mod instead of replaying.

The epilogue feels a bit rushed, which is weird considering the lenght of other sections in the game. They should've shortened those and give a few more scenes to the ending imho.

Overall it's a high quality product that I recommend.

I like the harem. You can play the protag as a likeable boyfriend / or don't if you go the evil route. Very adult like perspective on developing the relationship between the girls, and not giga horny teenager mindset, it was a refreshing game.

Sucks that the models don't look really appealing though

Between Two Worlds combines two of the most boring things I can imagine, a slice of life story and listening to someone tell you about their painfully generic D&D game. To top it off, the writing is trope-y and the dialogue is unnatural. I appreciate a story where the MC already has a girlfriend from the start, but unfortunately the author doesn't seem as lucky, because they have no idea how couples act.

The artwork starts out pretty bad with blurry renders, bad lighting, and characters that just look uncanny. I didn't even make it to the part where they get isekai'd or whatever, but I peeked at some of the later images, and they do get a lot better. Unfortunately, after the artist improved, they didn't bother to go back and redo the earlier scenes. It's painfully obvious that these devs, and many others, just work front to back and don't both editing or updating the beginning of their game, even though first impressions should be the most important aspect to focus on.

Since there is nothing between 3 and 4, I am giving it a 3. This game is better than 3 but just not 4 imo.

The game is pretty long, and generally I have no issue with that, infact I prefer long games. But the pacing is so off here, specially the first half, most of the first half feels very filler and redundant.

Character designs are good (I like that everyone does not looks like super models or pornstars)
Lewd scenes are okay imo (have not encountered anything truely hardcore)
Character development is there
Story is good and fun, though nothing super unique and feels like there is something missing from making it very good

I played it once, but don't feel like going through it again to explore the other path. I also think the DnD RPG element could have been a bit more interactive, I have seen some other games doing it better. Some of the jokes are really funny, so good job with the humor.

It's good, but is lacking that special something to make it great.
The girls are good looking, but nothing special. They have good personalities. The plot is a group Isekai, but nothing special, and everything feels kind of inevitably going to work out. The sex is solid, but nothing special. It's not without emotion, but it's nothing special.
I enjoyed it, but there was nothing that I loved about it, but I am looking forward to their next game.
I always feel bad leaving a 4 star review, since it could dissuade people from playing a game I liked. I don't want to dissuade people - I'd recommend this over the vast majority of adult games - but I wouldn't call it a "must play," or anything like that.

I started to read some of the reviews but decided against it because they were pissing me off, so here is my $0.02.

Synopsis : I primarily started this game because I saw that it was Completed. I get tired of playing a tiny portion of a game and having to wait months before the next update, so it was a relief to find a fantasy game that was whole. As I started playing I noticed many things that I liked about it and nothing that I did not like.

Story: On the face of it, it seemed to have been one that had been used before, but once the plot got underway, it had enough novelty to escape cliche and actually move on in a quite interesting manner. The dilemma itself was different from most "thrust into a world" scenarios. I saw some bellyaching about the end, but an end is just that. The End. Fine. I thought the end that I was led into (good/harem) was excellent.

Characters: I thought the characters were well-thought out. Each had a unique personality, even the younger sisters. The renders were excellent throughout. Even the NPCs had life. The monsters were also pretty cool, as well as the non-human NPC races.

Art: The scenes were interesting and often never seen before. The magic effects were very well done.

Extras: I love that the dev included references to two very excellent games and especially loved how the MC went from playing Love of Magic to actually knowing some of the main characters. Also, the insertion of classic horror films added to the immersion.

One more thing I would like to comment on is the fact that the dialogue was very clean with regard to grammar and spelling and was extremely witty throughout. I often laughed out loud at the exchanges between the characters.

I am looking forward to the next work by Drooskati with great anticipation. Thanks to the team for developing and presenting Between Two Worlds.

It’s quite hard to give this AVN a very good score because while it has its great moments, it also has a lot of flaws and boring moments.

Well, let’s start with the boring ones, the first 5 chapters in fact, where literally nothing happens, the MC finds a strange book, him and his friends play a role-playing game once a week (you can skip those parts, they add nothing to the story) and that’s it. This is also when you can choose to start a harem or stay monogamous. Don’t worry about all the little points you can gain in the first chapters (sub/dom/share/love/etc), they will never be used, like NEVER.

Then comes chapter 6 and the real fun in a fantasy world, the one from the game you were playing with your friends. A lot of adventures and discoveries where you meet pirates, mermaids, orcs, fairies, and more. This is the best part of this AVN, where each choice finally matters, but it has some flaws too, mostly incoherences in the script, no big deal though.

Then comes the 2 endings, good and evil. Well, the evil ending is cut short, no epilogue, the MC takes the decision to stay in this world and... THE END. The good ending has a very short epilogue showing the MC marrying his pregnant girlfriend and… THE END. It’s a real shame that after spending 4 years on this VN, the developer did not care more for its endings, as if he wanted to move onto his next VN already.

Spoilers ahead:
I don't have much to say about this game. The story was interesting and I'm a nerd so I love the fantasy setting. Apart from that, the game was kind of bland. I feel like the MC never really bonds with any of the girls in the game, you start with a girlfriend and the other women are just kind of there until the end where you marry them all (at least in the ending I got). There was so much effort put into the story and animations that I think the relationships were overlooked a bit, the only girl the MC really got to bond with was Skylar and of course Hannah because she is already your girlfriend. I hope the next game from this dev can expand on relationships while keeping the same quality of writing and animations.

I love the overall game. It was intriguing, kinky, mysterious and the LIs were pretty hot. I only had a problem with two and the first was Bailey's render. Her head was much too large for her body. She was one of the cutest characters whose charm was foiled by looking like a bobblehead. The second was Emily. Yeah her snark was fun and appreciated at first, but it got old fast. I don't understand anyone who would actually hang around someone that ran her cock-holster so much. Emily was just over the top at times.

That being said, the visuals were stunning. Some of the NPC were excellent but I have to agree with some of the other reviews: There were a lot of unanswered questions at the end. To me it seems like the Dev rushed to end it due to moving on to a bigger and better project. Take the sisters for example. Both are knocked up by the MC, their children are going to be cousins/siblings but the only thing addressed is whether the MC can have multiple wives?

The pros outweigh the cons IMHO. Again, I really liked the game and at first it was a slow burn, establishing all the characters which at first annoyed me, but then later I realized why. It was for later on in the game so that certain things and characters necessary to the storyline would fall together. Excellent job except the character development may not have needed to be SO long. Some scenes could have definitely been trimmed out without affecting the story.

Please Dev, pay attention to the models, trim some unnecessary filler and curve the annoying cracks from one loudmouth and you'd have a real gem here. I eagerly await further works from this Dev. Well done!

A really nice game, can give it a try just for the story. A good story with a likeable cast. Really liked how Hannah's character was written. When you are forced with a girlfriend at the start of the game itself, the writing needs to be really good to make sure that the people like that GF character.

I like harem games but this was maybe my first game where I went for a solo ending instead of a harem one. Eagerly waiting for the dev's next game

I just finished re-playing Between Two Worlds (Ch. 10 version) and it is a great piece of story telling, with really good graohics and animations, coupled with a good amount of lewd.

Now it is a harem story and I usually prefer it when I can't get all the girls in one playthrough and maybe with a bit of sharing content as well. However the quality of the story makes it a 5 out of 5 VN anyway, and I truly recommend you try it out if you haven't already.
