VN - Ren'Py - Beyond The Game [Ch.1] [Waifuz Studio]

Looks promising, good quality, models, music and menu, i like the amount of characters with the combination of good expressions and postures, because that makes all the scenes more alive, the plot is a common slice of life for now.

What needs more work are the dialogs, like the novel could be really immersive but in some scenes the dialogs are pretty bad.
This was like an introductory chapter so there is not much bonding with other characters or love interest aside from those closest to him.

I don't complain about the MC because him being like this weak guy might be part of the plot so we will have to wait to see it.

This reminds me when Summer's gone began because the dialogs and some scenes killed me of cringe but i saw future in it specially when the dev start remaking it, i sense something similar here like an improvement for the future.
Overall i like it, im like in 3,5 - 4 stars. Good job Waifuz Studio

Omg this has to be one of the games with more wasted potential I have ever come across. It is absolutely insane how they can put so much effort and quality into the renders but jus botcher pretty much everything else, it is kind of sad.

MC is just cringe, pathetic excuse of a man. Hell, he doesn't even look like one, if you tell me it had a cunt under those pants I'd believe you without a second thought. And I am not talking only about his sissy appearance but how he acts, his character and personality is so pathetic, such a wimp, it is incredible how much effort they put in making him as bad as possible. With thia kind of MC there is no way this game could be an enjoyable experience for anyone that isn't into humiliation or something like that.
The story is mediocre, dialogs boring, and the rest of the characters are not likeable either, no charisma at all, they just look good, but that's it.

Maybe the visuals alone should earn it a 2 but the rest is so bad that I cant give it more than 1.

MC is absolutely pathetic.

He is a sniveling wimp who absolutely panics and stutters at seeing his sister in underwear that covers more than any swimwear. He is controlled like a cuck because he is completely afraid of all women, who are then the ones to drive every decision, which means everyone throws themselves at him.

The MC is an unfamiliar model and looks reasonable although he looks more like a lesbian than a man. The female models are very well done, but as is way too common, suffer from ugly, unrealistic bloated boobs. the renders are first class.

The writing is fairly good, grammatically, but the story is wasted since the mc is so absolutely pathetic, there's not much you can do with it

The Pros:

- The renders
- Opening music

The Cons:

- Copy and paste story from another poorly written game.
- Bad sentence structuring, bad grammar and overall badly translated.
- Same type of MC from a game I sworn I've played before... Wimpy and feminine.
- The characters except for some of the male models all look similar.


I could've sworn I played a similar story... Anyway, the MC is a classic spineless wimp. The butt of everyone's joke sort of deal. He also looks like a woman which is triggering my memory as if I played this exact story before. The problem with devs that fancy a certain vendor is that certain vendors tend to have models that look similar. In this story most of the main ladies look very similar with the exception of different hairstyles and textures. But it's definitely the same face. Even the MC has the same face. It's one thing if this game was a family based game where they were all related but this isn't the case.

Aside from those issues I couldn't drive too deep into the story because of the constant badly worded sentences and misspellings of the simplest things.

Hire a writer, translator, editor or whatever you need to polish this project. Good luck.

Visually, one of the best gams out. Amazing renders and animations. I like the idea behind all of the characters too, but the dialogue is definitely lacking. Clear to tell English isn't the dev's first language, pronouns are incorrect pretty often, and presumable Calep and Brain are simply misspelt common names. Despite all of this the game is enjoyable, but if they were to be fixed, this could be a top tier game.

Beautiful graphics, I'm looking forward to the story expanding and becoming longer. Beautiful graphics, I'm looking forward to the story expanding and becoming longer. Beautiful graphics, I'm looking forward to the story expanding and becoming longer

A really great game, one that motivates me to write a review.

You immediately feel part of the story thanks to the animations and images.
The MC is really great, perfect body, beautiful young face which fits the university and he gains experience with sex there.

The female characters are also very well done.

I really want more of this awesome game, so dear devs stay with the project, don't let yourselves be put off and continue to deliver such great quality.

This release has a lot of potential. The visuals, with their impressive renders and animations, are a highlight. The main concern right now is the English, which suggests that the developer isn't a native speaker. Although it's not a significant problem, addressing it in future updates would be helpful. All in all, it’s a promising start

This is just a first chapter release, but although the graphics are solid and the animations flow nicely (minus the ridiculous ass impact shiver) it does not save this game.

Language errors (many times doing things that Grammarly would not fix, because it works grammatically but goes against what the render shows - like calling a shower a bath, using the wrong pronoun or name or misspelling simple names, calling an ankle wrist etc.) and The Room quality dialogue (so bad it is funny) and a story that seems poorly paced in that it feels extremely rushed. Unless significant improvement is made to the quality of the writing, I cannot see myself returning to this train wreck.

Side note - there already seems to be some attempt at rating bolstering as the 5* review posted discusses Wi-Fi in the Philippines.

TLDR - Graphics are good, but if you read an AVN for the pictures you might as well go look at porn

I think the other reviews sum it up well, it's a visually solid game with attractive girls and a unique-looking MC that I believe has potential. The English definitely could use some work. Brian being spelled Brain the whole time, Caleb being spelled Calep, and the extremely formal way some of the characters speak even in casual situations throws you off. However, as English is not the native language of the developer, it's still pretty solid.

I would suggest running the dialogue through Grammarly or something similar for English, it can help with the easy misses.

Reviewing this as of Ch.1 (first release).

It's a really promising game with both good renders and animations. I will say the previews are misleading, as far as I'm aware there is only one lewd scene in this release. The only thing holding it back for me is the writing, it just feels stale and unnatural at times, also it moves way faster than it needs to. I couldn't help but play the game and think about how I would change what's being said, but also add more dialogue just to flesh the game out more. Also just a side note, some the characters names are "Brain" and "Calep" ???, maybe this is just my normie American brain but those are some weird names.

Anyways, I hope this game doesn't get too much hate because I would really like to see where it goes in the future

I usually don't review first releases but this one has a lot of potential. Visually, the renders and animations are really good but the main issue with the game right now is the english. You can clearly tell that the dev is not a native english speaker. It's not too bad, but it's something that should be fixed in the next releases. Other than that, it's a solid first release.
