Ren'Py - Bindr: Kink Dating [v0.25HF] [bindr]

Ok, I notice numerous glowing reviews, so I decide to give the game a shot, fire it up and I'm greeted with a complete a letdown.

The monetization scheme is blatant and excessive right from the beginning. Hiding content behind payments in an already threadbare experience? That's a warning sign immediately.

Meet with first character... visuals are honestly below average, approaching beginner-level quality. Poor illumination throughout, unnatural positioning, dead-eyed stares. The dialogue is painfully awkward - it reads like someone programmed a bot using the worst online dating exchanges imaginable. The synthetic voices begin poorly and deteriorate further. The laughable performance during intimate moments is so uncomfortable it's genuinely mortifying and I'm left wondering "Seriously? THIS is what everyone was raving about?!"

I anticipated quality animated intimate sequences - those are baseline expectations in respectable titles today. What did I get? Still frames that appear processed on outdated hardware. The expressions range from bland to awkward and unappealing. Revisiting confirmed it was even more disappointing than initially thought. The handful of seconds of "motion" sprinkled in are a mockery of actual animation.

There's an inescapable emphasis on male submission with minimal options to circumvent it, which comes across as shoehorned and clumsily handled.

This title is deeply flawed. No narrative, no engagement, no connection, no justification to invest in anything presented. It's an empty, lifeless ordeal that resembles a money grab disguised as entertainment. Emphasizing profit over delivering something worthwhile. Avoiding it doesn't adequately describe my recommendation, this is a waste of both time and disk space.

DISCLAIMER: This review is made for 0.24.1 v and its provisional until the game is completed or atleast changes significantly in the meantime so it requires a new review to adress changes or additions,so take it as such,the review as such will also be much softer because its not complete.

I like to see on one hand how a game takes shape,especially since it seems that the dev has a vision and is following it,we will see how it is implemented but im happy to say this is a good game,lacking in story,character development and actually having meaningful choices and challanges,im personally not a fan of just picking up any girl just like that and not knowing more about them.

- Music is a minus,a minor part of the game as is but it doesnt have to be,I would say that music is quite important,it is the same over and over again and its the elevator kind which sucks badly,I wish there to be more variety and based on the moment,not just randomly.

+I like the variety of kinks and women,that this game unlike many doesnt neglet swiches,Im one myself and its great to be able to do both at the same time or one based on the feeling of the moment.

-I dislike how the sub part is treated tho,like its a loser,with things such as no sex for the sub in many cases or being treated like dirt or a loser,I get that some people are into it or that this si the general view of the dynamic fo D/S but its not like that for all,I know plenty of kind/soft dommes and it can also be positive domination. I should know,I had a dominatrix gf.

-As I said above,theres no challange at all,you just meet them and they up and about meet you then straight to sex,I does happen,I should know since it did to me but its not realistic for the most part and I would like if you had like a relationship meter or smt,to like gauge how compatible you are,to do this the dev would also have to give them more personality,persoanlly I would have liked to see them interact with the player beyond bdsm,that is also a fun part.

=I like the initial story and that you can make a app and see the rise of his life but its going way too good to be true and story isnt complete,after it it goes out the window,I would like there to be more story than that.

+ scenes with multiple women like a crossover,should be more interaction or options to introduce one to others.

-Lack of real gameplay elements

-Lack of character for many of them

-Popups go very fast and cant be read whole but I do like that he puts some dev comentary in the game at certain points.

=Although as of now being a dom or switch or sub doesnt matter so much,its still incomplete but I would like this to matter in the future.

-No way to toggle certain fetishes on,off or to have like a list of favorites that might influence interactions or make it easier to get those you pick.

-Very confusing way to progress and there were many issues atleast in the past

-Too many coincidences like meeting a girl in the street when arriving from Japan or other known ones in the app,statistically and from exp,very few people are into bdsm and you probably wont meet known people there ever.

-chat in the app feels off alot,its not how conversations would go at all,dialogue in scenes or otherwise is okish,would like to see it improve in the future.

I gave it a 4 star for the effort and to encourage the dev to do better,this could be quite something if done right. My real score for this is 6,5/10 I dont like the star system,its not accurate.

FlightBoy: Manwhore Edition Aka The Fuckboy Service. Anyway 10/5 because of Goddess Hélène, nothing else matters.
Anyway I played v0.24.1, 2 char need manually type phone numbers. Dunno if missed any. Farah, Jessica, Natalie also nice. Imagine: Hélène fucks Natalie when MC is already fucking Hélène.

TL;DR = trash story, terrible sandbox, decent renders.

Story: 0/5
Pros:
+ Only good thing about story is the fact that you can skip it (by holding CTRL).
Cons:
- Story is terrible.
- Only thing I can remember about plot is the fact, that MC is trying to make money by developing an app. That is all. Story is pretty much nonexistent.
- Side characters dont have any personality. They just deliver few lines of text and then you are back to sandbox.
- Whole gameplay is pretty much random sex scenes with random side characters, that are connected with annoying sandbox.
- I think even AI can make better story than this garbage.

Art and Sex stuff: 3/5
Pros:
+ Renders are good.
+ Girls are sexy.
+ Some sex scenes are hot.
+ Renders are only saving grace of this game.
Cons:
- Sex scenes are kinda short.
- Sex scenes are usually kinda bland.
- Camera during sex scenes often focuses on boring details. Seriously who the hell wants to watch close up of dude's face??!!!
- Sex scenes dont have big variety. After playing few sex scenes, it will feel like you have played them all.

Gameplay: 0/5
Pros:
- This game has soundtrack. It is very basic, but better than nothing, I guess.
Cons:
- Whole game is needlesly annoying and complicated sandbox.
- Problem with the sandbox is the fact, that you have a lot of locations, but there is nothing to do there. You have to follow your Quest Journal step-by-step or you are stuck. It is empty sandbox.
- Also the game engine only supports 8 save slots !!! That is small amount.
- Sometimes there are really unusual bugs. Like with saves.
- English isnt very good. Some sentences wont make much sense.

To sum it up:
I find this game very boring. I suggest you go play something else.

Bind K.D. – Quick Thoughts
Personal Rating: 4/5
What Means to be Rating: 5/5


Bind K.D. doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not—and that’s what makes it work so well.


It offers a huge variety of models, top-tier graphics, and covers a wide range of kinks. There’s not much story here, just short, well-crafted scenes that get straight to the point.


If you’re looking for something quick, visually stunning, and packed with fetish content, this one nails it. Personally, I give it a 4 out of 5, mostly because it hits several of my favorite kinks and looks amazing doing it.

The variety and number of girls is awesome. They are all so hot. The kinks are great, especially the footjobs. I like the locations and the game loop is really different from what is out there. I personally never used dating apps so it's a fun aspect to the game for me.

I look forward to how this game shapes up as it evolves and the dev has what seems like a creative mind in expanding how the game will operate. I like how the Asian women vs the European women vs the American women vs Latin America aren't all the same.

Very nice renders, the characters seem interesting, the setting could lead to some cool branches, but all of this kinda fails since I don't feel the game gives you meaningful ways to interact with both the characters and the story itself, the choices feel meaningless and you're restricted to choosing which sex scene you wanna see (dom or sub).

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.
