VN - Ren'Py - Blacked House [v0.1] [Mandy ☆]

Best case scenario is a 2 star, maybe it would be worth 1 star directly (0.1 version). Thing is, the plot is aweful, it goes beyond porn logic directly into illogical. Everything is normal until a day randomly your sister starts masturbating you for no reason... and that's just the first scene. Characters are uninteresting and predictable to a point that it just takes away any leftover interest you could have. Bully comes about, and just gets to kick you until your "flatmate" shows her titties. If he's the bully, why the hell did the MC even go near him if he knows he'll beat him? And so on. Gameplay is non existant so far, with no choices to be made and just the show of a generic sandbox at the end.

Render quality isn't bad, not particularly great either. Animations present are pretty basic. Sound is quite annoying. At least there are no bugs, but there is also very little content in this version.

So, all in all, I'd skip this game with its blatant and unneeded racism, the uninteresting characters and uninspired everything.

Okay, the character of MC is very good
The fact that the mc isn't a loser/obnoxious/donkey/stupid is a strong point for this game. also, he isn't a alpha(biring)
The rendering, writing, sound, atmosphere, story, tension, and personality(mc,sis,etc) are all very good
it deserves a five-star review

I just hope this porn star isn't MC's mom because we'll miss out on the corruption process and its excitement

For now you play as a horny soy boy that loves black dicks in a linear VN but transitions to a sandbox game at the end. So far this game would deserve a rating of 1-Star.

But hear me out dev:
Instead of making the MC a cuck, let us witness a "rags to riches" story, whilst the player becomes a Chad sex machine so that the mother (and sister) renounce other dicks bit by bit.
Cancel the point and click sandbox and focus on few but meaningful choices.
Don't overstay your welcome by introducing more and more love interests but rather tell a short to medium length personal story about the family members and hot situations.

Just my two cents but I think this way you would have an original game and your own niche in an otherwise overused story and in an oversaturated genre.

Review for v0.1 [initial release]

TLDR: Currently barebones, like most v0.1s. The bones it does have seem very good, though. What you call the landlady is changeable. Good animation, great renders, little to no grammatical errors, and best of all: It has custom, non-default text boxes, AKA the single biggest indicator of whether a Ren'py dev cares about their game. Blatantly racist premise.

Story
Pretty obvious; you play as a white guy who will very soon see his..."landlady" and "roommate" have sex with black guys. Currently contains the mom fucking some guy, the mom in the shower, and the sister flashing some guy.

Originality
Ever been on r/bangmybully? It's like that, if the posters put in actual effort.

Renders
Great quality! Better than average, and above par for typical Ren'py games.

Sound
I dunno. I turn off music and voice volume off before playing, and sound volume is set to 30%. I do not recall hearing audio from the game, but I could be wrong.

Playability
No issues.

Performance
No issues.

Final thoughts

Amount of content: As of v0.1, minimal. I went from New Game to "That's it for this version" within ten minutes.

Mechanical design: Surprisingly great. Everything works well. This version has an empty sandbox at the end of the content which shows what will likely be the main loop of the gameplay. It's reminiscent of Power Vacuum or Big Brother in design, which I consider to be a good thing.

Personal opinion: +5 stars for design, renders, UI design, and future potential.

-1 star for blatantly racist premise. Sorry, not sorry. There's interracial as a fetish, and then there's "immigrants are coming into town in droves and they're all black and they will live in your house for free against your will and we are now non-racist and black people are stronger and fuck better and..."
This is the second one.

I will still play future releases, because I'm both interested in the premise, and I am a hypocrite. But I would much rather see a game that didn't include racist ideas that cause real-life harm.

Also, if the dev is reading this, you should switch to SubscribeStar or some other alternative funding platform now, before you grow a following on Patre0n. Big P will take this game down sooner or later, as they do with all games that include content like this, so you're only shooting yourself in the foot by risking future paychecks.
