Ren'Py - Bindr: Kink Dating [v0.22.1] [bindr]

Renders with good to high quality.
Polished UI
No major bugs encountered.

Overall, the dev seems to know their business well, technically.

However, the story is lackluster to nonexistent.
Also, for a game called Bindr, the bondage is very uninspired, using very few props - handcuffs, simple rope and scarf bindings, and no finesse in how they are used.
Simply put, the game does not feel kinky or fetish-y at all to me.

As such,the overall game experience is poor.
There's nothing that would motivate me to keep playing this.

This one is not terrible, but definitely not good. The story makes no sense, not only is it poorly told but the characters themselves lack most of any kind of credibility or personality. It's also boring. So, skip the plot, move on to the sex? Well, I don't work well with that, if there's no real plot or connection to the characters, for me it doesn't work. So this one doesn't work for me at all. I like that it asks at the beginning your dominant/switch/submissive preference, but the dominant path seems to be rather sudden and without any buildup (the scene with the reporter for example) for it to feel like real domination outside the generic acts of tying and so on.

Render quality is pretty decent, character models are good, and animations (as far as I got) are fine but a bit basic. I turned off the music and there didn't seem to be any sound. And I did have some bugs with saving and loading, which was strange.

All in all, not the worst use of your time if you're not like me, but either way there are probably better choices out there.

Really cool game, with very beautiful graphics, a lot of characters. different types of relationship. Hope you finish it, wish you good luck. an a lot of patrons) Don't understand those who put less than five stars))

The story is non-existent, but I’d already read the reviews before playing, so no surprise there. The game is basically a collection of disconnected sex scenes, needlessly complicated by a terrible sandbox.

I wouldn’t mind if the sex scenes were good, but they’re short, badly written, and bland.

With a game with as little frills as this some may ask, why 5 stars?

The short answer is quality and its exactly what it says it is. There's no narrative besides a guy using an app to get kink sexual encounters. This is pure fap material and I can respect that. Especially because that fap material is beautiful. If you wanna just get off and your tastes are of less the vanilla variety then this is as promised. Though if this dev wanted to make an actual narrative one day, I'd be happy to check it out.

This game has the most realistic and beautiful models. UI is also simple and modern which makes the game feel premium. Love the Fettish and Femdom content. Excited so see what nee content developer adds to the game.

If this one gets rescued from the abandoned tag, that would be great...
Tremendous potential left in this one...

Pretty good content, worth a look if bdsm, dom/sub is your thing.
It's more on the comfortably mild side, not too hard core and that's fine by me...lol
I like the concept, there seemed to be a few story lines developing that were intriguing. Haven't run across another game like this one really, similar, but not quite like this. Would probably give this 5* if it weren't tagged abandoned...

I played v0.9.1.0 – sandbox game with a male mc and about a dozen heroines. I played it because of the bdsm, male domination, spanking and humiliation tags. The game is about a man hooking up with various women over bdsm-tinder. Most women have both sub and dom scenes depending on the mc’s preferences. The framing device is fresh – you have sex first and then develop a relationship/start a woman’s storyline (so far the only girl who has hints of a storyline is Farah with her escaped serial killer).

I wanted to like this game so bad… Sadly despite the interesting premise and kinks, the decent writing style and the pretty women the game feels rather lifeless. Sex scenes feel rather similar to the point that it feels like you played 90% of all sex scenes after your first. Most of them have some light bondage, light domination, oral, vaginal and anal – Most of them are built after the same pattern, that repeats over and over. And while I generally don’t care about the quality of animations the constant identical hip thrusts in every single scene kinda annoyed me.

Maybe less would have been more – fewer scenes, that are more interesting and unique and fewer women with stronger storylines.
There’s also some spanking/whipping and it seems like the creator has a heels-fetish.
The game’s big gimmick (ai-voiced characters) kinda missed its mark with me because I’m not a fan of it, so I can’t comment on it, since I disabled that option.
If you’re into bdsm you might want to give it a shot and play one or two scenes – if they bore you, drop it – it’s just more of the same. If you love it you’ll probably like the rest of the game.
I personally found it just forgettable despite it matching my fetishes and taste in women. (which is plain sad )

I don't comment on games very much, but I really liked this game and wanted to write a review to support it.I'm enjoying playing it and waiting for the continuation of the game. For me, the only thing missing is the lack of scene replays, and I think that will come in the future.Other than this gameplay,renders... everything is almost perfect.

The renders are really good but I found the scenes lacking. Out of the 3 I went through, before giving up, I found them too short and they lacked eroticism. I didn't get into the depth of the game but the three girls the MC met all felt unique and had their own character.

This game is acually really promising. If AI is able to be used in Voiceline generation like this I can't wait for what future brings . Good luck to the creator - I enjoyed the scenese so far. All the game lacks is more content.

The renders are good, weirdly grainy though, though the faces they make are most often really really bad. Like we're talking the worst example of stereotypical O face. There is literally no reason to read any of the dialogue. Seriously, just click through and enjoy the visuals. scroll back if you need some context on a choice, but otherwise don't bother reading. There is no story here at all, just mild pretense for lewd scenes, and the dirty talk is the palest example of the genre.

You can get through everything pretty quick if you're not bothering to read. So, if you want to spend ~30 looking at some decent renders its worth a shot.

Great game, great renders, great sound fx, GREAT!!! Iwould love to see more foot fetish scenes, dominant women are awesome. i love the whipping scene also, please make more. I hope this game will develop more and quick.

"How to suck fun out of BDSM/Fetish scene"

The tags should tick many of the boxes for me. I really expected to like it.

Unfortunately it is incredibly boring.

I am not even entirely sure why, perhaps it is what other reviewers who gave low-score, say. But I didn't even finish all the content...

Overall: (A.K.A - "I'm not reading all that shit below")
- It's not bad. It's just something I wouldn't really look forward to for the updates.
- The concept sounds hot on paper but in practice it's just so dry and only further fuels my depression.
- At the same time, if it wasn't for the interesting concept then this would go straight into my "Mediocre" pile.
- Just skip all the dialogue and actual story but just enough for some context for the scenes. Uninspired at worst and a boner killer at best.
- Honestly, if this really is written by AI then I'd give it a 5 as a good proof of concept for what it can do. It's not good for human standards but it means we're closer to just making our own VNs and not having to wait around for checked out/arrogant devs who take a year nowadays to update.

Positives:
- Render quality seems to be improving and updates roll out pretty frequently
- And uh ... it's a new concept. Don't think a game based solely around a dating app has been done before. They're usually just side features in other games that don't get a lot of attention.
- Oh, yea. Duh. It's kinky-themed as well. That's an interesting spin on it as well.


Negatives:
- For something that's supposed to be "kinky", the scenes feel oddly vanilla. I'm not sure why. Just kind of boring.
- The AI voice acting's awkward as fuck. I turned that shit off immediately.
- The writing almost seems like it's also AI. It definitely feels realistic in a sense that I could imagine people in real life saying it but that's also why I kind of hate it.
I'm not talking about safety and consent because that's just a fucking given for this type of concept. Let's get that out of the way.
It's more like the way the characters talk just really has a way of sucking all the fun and sexiness out of everything. It's depressing how close to reality that dialogue is but at the same time, more like how a hack writer who writes the next box office flop thinks conversations go down (and probably how they talk in their own social circles).
The more the characters speak, the more I just dislike all of them and it's like they're hinting that we're supposed see them as long-term love interests. Lol. No.
I can't really find the words to properly grasp what the hell this dialogue is. Dry but at same time superficial. Too realistic but also not quite. Nothing really worth reading through. Just some generic "blah blah, accomplished girl boss" and "blah blah men who only like vanilla stuff are insecure".

Eh, whatever. Anyone who will understand is going to actually read this. Anyone who won't will just ignore this.

I'm not much of a reviewer, but... this game managed to capture my attention because there is actually an interesting factor for each choice, and it's not about right or wrong, you don't even need a guide, the logic itself The game gives you rewards for your choices, the characters were very well created in each of their personalities, the game is still in a very early stage of development, but of all the ones I've tried in recent months, it's the most promising, I really want it see the development of this development, and the appearance of new characters

A really interesting concept that shows a lot of sexual fetishes, beautiful visuals and attractive models, I would gladly give the game 5 stars, but there is a problem, it is unplayable and buggy, the message script works incredibly crookedly, some replies just don’t come, girls just don’t respond or they answer in 4-5 minutes, I understand that they added realism to the game, I’m glad that you took as a basis the concept of a dating site, where they answer you in a couple of hours or don’t answer at all, but you can somehow fix the communication script that breaks the game

A very enjoyable game even at this early stage of development. High-quality, natural, beautiful models without ridiculous and unhealthy giant breasts and asses.

Elegant shoes, high heels, beautiful nylon - all this looks nice and tasteful. The game does its job. Perhaps there are very modest animations here, but this does not interfere much considering how laborious and costly it is, it’s better for the author to focus on filling the content for now, the rest can then be finished, as in the same Dream of Desire.

I would add more fetishes and poses, the possibility of changing them independently or otherwise managing / participating in the process, adding screenshots (the shoes on the models look very nice)). It's like an extra feature. Well, the main content -stories, individuality, girls.

As a result, the game still requires a lot of attention, effort and time, for now I would call it a good prologue to a possibly good game, if the author has enough strength, desire and motivation for this, which many here doubt, there were many such examples. In any case, The idea looks pretty ambitious, and that's why these fears exist.

I want to wish the author success in the future.

The main thing to mention about this game is the structure. You meet LI's on an app, say the right things and unlock a date where the characters get down to it right away. It's very simple but I really like it and would like to see more games that use this approach.

The downside here is if you're gonna keep it simple, the scenes need to carry extra weight and these ones feel like a bit of a let down.

It's not the quality of visuals but the setup that bugs me.

• You text someone about a kink,
• LI: I'm after an extreme bondage session on top of a tranqed up tiger in a stadium full of redheads. I expect to leave missing a limb or 2.
• MC: "I'm your man"
• MC: Proceeds to have vanilla sex with a hand tied

Now I can appreciate the events need to ramp up a bit but theses girls are getting let down all over town and then act like the MC is some kind of god.

Overally, feeling very good about this one. The game is pretty to the point, consisting of sex scenes with matched girls.

Scene amounts are a few per character, casting a wide net across several girls. Very high quality renders, and individual girl paths seem isolated at this point, outside of the fantasies.

Femdom content seems a bit stronger than the maledom side of things, but that lines up with my preferences just fine.

There is a lower level of interactivity, but this seems to be within the dev's stated scope. Longer term decisions are starting to show up, and primarily impact a dom/switch/sub tendency slider.

Update schedule seems pretty frequent, so I'm interested in following the development at this point.
