VN - Ren'Py - Between Worlds [v0.1.9 PI BETA] [RolePlayer]

Easily one of the best games I have played on this site based on the characters models. Have played a lot of games and can definitely say that this one has a lot of potential. Story and dialogues are okay and can be improved but overall this game works pretty well.
STORY: 8/10
CHARACTERS MODELS: 10/10
Do try this once.

The main character calls the shots, leading to an interactive storyline with stunning love interests. Choices truly matter, shaping the story's direction. It's a game that even non-fantasy fans can't resist.

First off, the only good thing i can say is characters look good but besides that only choice you really have is to having sharing or not but to many conversations make it feel like it's just a sharing game especially Vica just randomly mentioning she has seen bigger cocks when the mc never even inquired about it and the other choices is skip a scene or watch it.

Also, mc acts so passive in parts like he honestly just lets vica tell him what to do and you also can't choose who you have sex with first mc just comes off as awkward and passive.

Brilliant. Renders are stunning. by far one of my favourite games that i have played. if you are into ntr/swinging this is a MUST play. Cant wait for more. Ill be supporting this dev as i think it warrants it.

Seriously good ntr contents! Allowing player to have the freedom to choose between vanila, openr and cuckoldry is what make a great netorase harem games. Mc is quite likeable, gf is gorgeous, but sis could use better hairstyle tbh.
Judging from current story progression, I think dev will let MC have the option to choose giving up the rights of taking the virginity of his two love interests, which would very perverted, I love it. It's a pity mc is forced to lose his virginity to another woman, a lost opportunity to cuck the mc even deeper, haha.

+Text is good and doesn't feel low quality like some of the other games,
+Renders are amazing, highly detailed, and unique.
+NTR is done very well, probably the best i've seen.
+Choices are meaningful and lead to different scenes.
-The development of relationship between the protagonist and Freya, the girl he lives with, into a sexual/romantic one, progresses very suddenly and seems rushed, especially since they've been like siblings for a long time. You'd expect a lot more resistance to this change.
-The fact that the protagonist is a rogue type of character doesn't seem to have much or any, impact on the story or the choices yet, but may be explored later.

Beautiful renders, an excellent looking main female character and good storytelling. And the most important thing is, all this comes with good paced NTR content! It's hard to find a game that has it all nowadays.

So this game has everything I'm looking for. I hope the developer will add even more content on the NTR side. Keep up the good work DEV! Can't wait for more!

Didn't know people were expecting Tolkien levels of prose in their porn games. Are there a few examples of purple prose in Between Worlds? Sure. Are they front-loaded into the prologue of the game, where a hook might be better suited? Inexplicably, yes. Does this at all impact my appreciation and rating for this incredibly high-quality VN?

I'd have to be an utterly insufferable pedant to say yes to that.

All that said, I'll be upfront in revealing that I enjoy quality NTR/NTS, and that this VN is probably better suited for those who share my predilections.

Between Worlds combines beautiful renders and clever sex scenes with compelling (and creative!) worldbuilding where society acts differently than the one you might be shunned from. If it's disturbing that fantasy worlds follow unfamiliar traditions and practice social etiquette that a sheltered tub of grease living in their mother's basement isn't used to, it might be wise to turn back now. Otherwise, it's my recommendation that you give this story a shot.

5*. To the author: give the hook another pass and you got yourself a 5.1*

The girls are very attractive. That's the good part.
As the game's description implies, the writing is bad. It is an inexplicable mixture of poor purple prose, difficult to understand lines, and unidiomatic English. It's hard to understand much of the time, and never satisfying to read. It's not just a translation thing, and it's not just a style thing. It's just bad. The overall authorship isn't much better...
The girls aren't all just sex-craved sluts, but many aren't far off at all. Then, the two main girls work as tavern wenches, basically getting paid to be ogled and harassed. That's not fun to watch, or think about. And the tavern has a semi-brothel in the back. It's not the kind of place most people would want their girl to work. If you're into that, that's fine, but I'm not, and it's unpleasant to watch.
This game seems to be NTR-ish, but the role and quantity of NTR isn't explicitly explained. I think there are both NTR and non-NTR options - I'm not into NTR at all - but I'm not 100% sure.
You don't have a choice about whom to have sex with. It just happens. Likewise, you don't have a choice but to get a girlfriend, then go behind her back and do sex stuff with other people. Including your best friend. Who demanded you ask out your new girlfriend. Who then asks if it's ok to be doing sexual stuff behind your girlfriend's back, to which the protagonist says, something along the lines of "yeah, because you and I have always belonged together," as if that makes it ok to cheat. The world seems to be more polygamous than ours, but then why would she be asking if it's ok to do stuff behind your girlfriend's back?
The story is, so far, nonexistent. There's some otherworldly stuff going on, involving a weird myriapodian monster. That's all that's happened.

There are good aspects here, but the author needs, at minimum, a whole lot of work, practice, learning, and experience before they're ready to make a good visual novel.

Never think about review the game, but the latest version (0.1.6 II) renders make me have to make a review for it. The render quality is an AAA grade (Especially, Evelyn shows around the end of 0.1.6 II for me. Her body is so perfect and detailed).
The story is very good and hit the spot for NTR fans, so naturally this game gets a 5 star from NTR fans, but low score from another fetish that may not appreciate NTR. If the game is set-up from NTR in mind, may be dev should consider focus on it and make some statement to prevent NTR-hater to accidentally play it hope that they can enjoy other route, but not.

IN SUMARY, if you're NTR fans, this is an AAA grade for you, can't miss it. If you're not, you may be disappointed (I don't know about other route, but judge from many `not ntr fan` 's review).

Renders are top notch and the story is just keep getting better and better. It really makes you wait for the next update and will be one of the best ntr games in the platform, probably. Well done devs!

The story is fine, the renders are fine, but it does what almost every other 50/50 game does - it sets up the scene for NTR/Sharing and if you are on the vanilla route the MC doesn't stop it until the last second.

You're still watching the set up go far enough that you're not sure if you're even going to have a choice to stop it. So the vanilla path doesn't truly feel vanilla because the the non-vanilla leads the scene to begin with.

If you can deal with skirting that line, then give it a shot. The story was interesting enough that I stuck with it this long. But if you don't want to constantly deal with other characters' advances towards your LI's, maybe skip this one.

This game got a lot of slack when it began due to seeming overly-ambitious, but the results speak for themselves. There's plenty of meaningful choices, plenty of event branches, and plenty of world building that make this game well worth a 5 star rating.

The artwork is gorgeous. Every female character has her own background and personality that draw you to them. Every male character has a quirk as well, like Randolf the panty sniffer. But the beauty of the experience is that you can keep your ladies to yourself if you so choose to. Although sharing-ntr is possible, the developer makes clear that this content is optional and not at all pushed upon you.

With a unique fantasy theme and slow paced build-up, this game is truly among the most underrated in the visual novel genre. Given a few years, its sure to turn heads as being one of the best for its novel approach to event variations while still maintaining a strong main plot and main character. I hope this developer keeps up the good work!

Some of the best sharing content I've ever seen. Doesn't force the netorase content on the player, and proper choices are given. Nobody is forced to anything they don't want to. The shy girlfriend character who is secretly an exhibitionist is a breath of fresh air.

Between Worlds is a fantasy VN set in a medieval world following the exploits of the village chad and his adopted sister.

It does a lot of things fairly well. I like the setting a great deal with the corsets, peasant blouses, and medieval environments. The overall art and aesthete is quite good.

I'm a big fan of sharing as opposed to hard NTR and this game hits that fairly on the nose. The girls are yours first and only entertain other lovers if you okay it. I wish the girls were a little more invested about their own romantic decision making rather than to bow before an idle suggestion from the MC, but you can't have everything. There's also a no-NTR path for the haters which is mostly the same with a few scenes turning down the peanut gallery instead of playing for the crowd.

The story is... not so great. A lot of the MC's background and exploits feel very important to developing him as a character and his relationships to others. Unfortunately, we only ever get to hear about it in snapshots or infodumps. This is the reason that so many stories truck-kun or use a drifter for their MC to smooth things along. It allows you to have a competent and pre-developed character without hanging a bunch of local baggage that the reader doesn't understand.

It's particularly unfortunate, because the dev is actually good at developing characters and writing interaction. There are a lot of scenes between the MC and others that show the type of person he is and how he interacts with others. It would all be so much better if it wasn't built on a foundation of "remember our relationship?" and started fresh.

The story also has a strong feeling of just shit happening between sex scenes. Between the pretty good character interaction, the main plot seems to consist of otherworldly invaders/connection causing problems between the realms, but it's so obviously on the backburner that it's mostly just a distraction. I think the story would have benefited from a more directly horny storyline focusing on the town and maybe corrupting it or otherwise defending it directly. It's implied that the main character is going to be pulled away into a bullshit fantasy mcguffin quest in the future. Given that there's already three and a bit love interests and a handful of male frenemies, adding a host of other people and taking the MC away from the rest of the cast for a so far unhorny main plot could stretch the story to a breaking point.

As the game stands currently, it's worth a look. I'm worried about where the game will head in the future for the reasons immediately above, but where it is right now is solidly decent. I'd recommend it if you're into sharing, peasant blouses, and naive girls getting to know themselves. Payoffs are a bit sparse at the moment though.

Game contain different fetishes, players who like those fetishes will love this game and peoples who don't like these fetish will give 1 star to this game! specially NTR-Haters
my jaw dropped from quality of renders and animation
wish dev is consistent on updates...

Right down the middle on this one.

Graphics: Some LI seem great, some not, usually because of facial expressions.
Writing: It’s a weird combo of flowery… and written by AI/Google translate.
Tags: Vanilla/NTR routes.

Personally, even as an NTR hater, I think this one would benefit to being a full NTR game (?!). It's just how I see it, though...

Since we can’t comment on other games (unlike movie reviewers, Site Mods…Wtf? Your site though…), this game is no exception for split games. It FEELS like each side (NTR/Vanilla) only get half an update per update.

I say bite the bullet, take the hit, make it pure NTR and you can now focus up… and... again... that's from an NTR hater... just saying...

putting 5 stars to encourage working on this, great great potential for NTS enjoyers.
Not much yet but a few satisfying choices already.
Can't wait to see where this leads.

Also thanks for bringing a variety of female bodies, always good to have more.

If the reviews were worse, I would've stopped playing within 10 minutes. The prose is so overwrought and pretentious that it's almost painful to read. And since most of the text is MC's inner monologue, makes him seem like an utter twat. To top it off, the dev has added timings to the text, so one can't even click through at one's own pace.

Will keep playing in the hopes that the writing gets less awful. Will edit the review if it gets better. (Still three stars since not everyone will be as bothered by the prose and otherwise the game doesn't seem bad.)

Good game so far. The characters are being built up well and are interesting to follow. The world of the game is not boring either. It has a good mix of hot scenes and story.
Girls are hot and have different characters, which makes it fun to play. DIfferent pathes to follow with the girls makes it also playable for many types of players.
