Ren'Py - Abandoned - Bloody Passion [v0.7b Beta] [NymphoPol]

Just played v0.7b beta and have played 0.6 before..

I like the game. The graphics are great, and there's great quality animations too.. Sexy ladies and some kinks..

The sandbox is a bit tiresome, but with the quest log helping out what's next it's not that bad..

All in all I found this enjoyable, and the biggest downside is that it still isn't done and I want there to be more content Very nice that the quests tags next part as coming in future update though, so it is easy to see you have to delay it..

Saves from 0.6 didn't work on 0.7b.. Hope that the saves don't stop working too often, so I don't have to play sandbox from start too often..

Found a bug in the latest content.

Too bad this is one of those games where the MC goes on his "landlady" in the first minute of the game and every girl jumps at him literally seconds after they meet. Otherwise this is a quality game, beautiful girls (even though without much expression), high end renders, nice animations. Also easy to navigate with a useful questlog.
Rating based on v0.7b Beta

Every-Fucking-Time-The-Save-Files-For-This-Game-Are-Broken, After-The-Update.

Need another explanation for this one star? I can't help but wonder. The graphics are top notch, but the fucking amateur coder doesn't make the game work with any previous version. There is no need to change so much every time that the save files are ruined.

All three stars are for the artwork. Seriously, the renders are amazing, some of the best I've seen (if I were to quibble, I'd want them to be less dark for the night scenes). The animations are excellent too - they are really well-integrated into the flow. There is a lot of talent and skill in the artwork.

But the other trivial details (plot, characters, writing) are... ahem.... somewhat lacking in quality.
And I'm not sure it can be fixed.

The plot is... listen up and tell me if you've heard this one before: MC living with his mot-er - landlady and roommates. Landlady is horny angel (she gets my vote for most beautiful CG babe on this site), Roomie A is nerd, Roomie B is badgirl. There's a femme fatale who may be evil, and a sleek, ice-queen. And a gorgeous nurse still to, er, come. Oh, did I mention demons? There are demons. And everything is kinda dark and neon-lit. Yeah, it's another one of those.
I personally find the occult kinda boring - especially when you've also got drug dealers and stuff like that - real life menace is always better. Updates are slow and spare for this game - totally understandable given the render quality. So I would keep the focus just on one mcguffin (not the demons), and ramp up the threat.

Writing is pretty clunky. A lot of it reminds me of bad kung fu movie dubs from the 70s. People say things like "I see you want to f--k me hard," and you just know that's not what they actually said in their native language. I know it can be hard for non-native English speaking devs, so here are my suggestions for improving dialogue:
1. Have people say less when they talk.
2. Always ask yourself, is this really necessary if you're going to write what a person is thinking? Nine times out of ten, it isn't. If you need to have someone think "I wonder who's at the door?" don't write it. Just use a montage of two images: closeup of door, closeup of person's frownie face.
3. Don't have people describe what they're doing while they're doing it "Holy f--k, I'm in so deep..."
4. And never, ever, ever use narration.

The MC is all over the place. Is he 12? He acts like he is when he's at school (university? seriously?) Is he a confident sexmeister? Well, according to the car dealer's wife he is. Or is he a pathetic, lurking pre-vert who creeps around bedrooms at night? Yes, that too. Night creeping is so stupid. But if you want to spice it up, reverse the roles. Have the girls check on him. Why do devs never realize that if you want to promote your MC as a stud, night creeping is exactly what he wouldn't do?
Let's just decide who the MC is, and keep him like that.

(Sigh). We're at V0.6, so it may be too late. I just feel kinda... sad, y'know, when you have such outstanding rendering ability weighed down by such mediocre, derivative writing. The girls are gorgeous, the sex scenes are erotic AF and if you wanna fap you will fap. Use your non-dominant hand, and pretend that it's a really badly dubbed foreign movie if that helps.

It gets better with version 6. It would be better if there were more bedroom scenes at night. Footjob was added for Veronica in the final version and it was beautiful. I would like to see more of Eva. The renders are gorgeous.

Don't understand how such a game has such a low rating.

Apart from the scenario being a bit too simplistic, everything else is top notch.
Female characters are very hot, MC is a stud, animations are good, graphism are excellent, graphical interface is very good.

Very eager to see what's next : 4.5/5

Oh boy...where to begin with?
First let's start about the good parts, although there aren't many, i like the style of the game menu, it's pretty nice and looks cool but it doesn't even make up for all the shitness this game is overall.
The next good-ish part are the renders and character models which looks fine and decent.
That's it, this are the good parts, now the bad parts which makes 90% of the game unfortunately.
-The writing is so extremely boring, amateurish and cringe, it gave me goosebumps some lines, that's how horrendous the writing is, it doesn't make much sense some times because of the rush.
The dialogues are so blunt and doesn't attract me in any way on playing the game further on, there are also several typos i noticed and it baffles me how you didn't noticed them at all after all this time but i'm more inclined to think you were too lazy to fix them.
-The story is fucking boring even more boring than the writing itself, it's too generic already, like seriously? some random student who rents a house with 3 other roommates? there are like hundreds of games with this story based on, couldn't you be more original at all?
Also who's the third student that MC rents the house with? i thought is only MC, Jennifer and Monique, does another one appears later on or did you referred to the landlady as roommate too? if you did then that's weird and doesn't make sense, you should fix that.
-Just like the writing and the dialogue, the characters themselves are very blunt and they don't inspire any personality presence in general.
If there wasn't any models, i wouldn't even know who are the characters since there's no difference between them, that's how soulless they feel when reading their lines, like some robots programming to talk.
-The renders/models of the game, i said they are decent because all the female models have big kardashian ass and tits, you could have diversify a little more by not making all the models have the same body types.
Overall the game is pretty bad in my opinion, not even average, just another typical porn game with uninterested story and shitty writing who provides fap material and that's it, clearly you didn't had more ambition on making it something more.
Also for a game who's nearly 5 years in development, it should have much more content, hell it should have been already completed by now and only 1.81 GB memory after all this years? what the fuck? that isn't even nearly enough for how much time this game exists.
Can't believe you dragged this dead ass game for so much time instead of making new games and improve yourself as developer, you must love milking this, no wonder i never heard of this game up until now.

I'll come back later once this game progresses more. But my goodness, the scenes and renders really make this game shine. I don't think the story is anything special, but honestly, this is an early build. It looks good so far and I wish the Dev all the best.

Another game in which the MC is a lame "beta" that is not able to seduce directly a women, and prefers to grope them when they are sleeping and to spy and blackmail them, in spite of having a classic "magic cock" that, at the end, makes all women fall for him. Another game in which female characters are mostly unbearable bitches and/or more or less repressed sluts. Another game that uses the trick of "roommates" and "landlady" instead "family" to avoid the term "incest" in Patreon. Another game with stupid, unrealistic quests. Another repetitive, time consumer sandbox. And another game with decent renders and 3D models, the reason for the second star.

pros
Nice renders
Nice animations
Hot girls
Gives choices of sex option while Mc fucking
Smooth game play
Cons
I was debating whether or not to review this since it's still technically a "demo". However as it's now here on this site and the review option is open then I say it's Fair Game.

Gloves are coming off. By the time I'm done this may come off as a burial, but I want to go for the Brutally Honest approach. So to the Dev that may be reading this sorry. Just not that sorry. Time to elaborate why I feel this way.

This game has a lot of red flags. Enough to reach one end of the football field to the other. It definitely came off as rushed.
The story has improved quite a bit since the last update, but it’s still riddled with plotholes. Somehow they keep trying this patchwork-approach instead of the rewrite they announced for the past three updates.
And also where is sleepsex
Just some groping and you call is a sleepsex
I mean come on dude there is not even oral
So if you add sleepsex bring penetration and then we accept it is sleepsex
So don't give false tags bcoz it gives false hope and frustration

The best animation i've seen so far on f95zone, cant wait to see more. Too bad the story is short at the moment, and its very typical. I would like some twist added to the story, but so far, i like what i see.

This game has to things that stands out:

• Graphics
• Writing

Let's start with the graphics: It is simply OUTSTANDING! The best one I saw. All visuals, including UI is superb. Now character design is not completely to my liking, but this is a matter of taste.

"But why did you gave it just three stars, then?" - you would ask.
Because writing is f#$king AUTISTIC, to say the least. Even a four year old, playing with dolls, have a better understanding of their characters and motivations. And basic human interactions. Here people do things out of nowhere, in a least believable way, just for the sake of plot.
But author shouldn't take this as an insult, writing is a hard skill to develop. It literally takes years to get any good. So devs best course of action is to hire someone good. Or "appropriate" some top quality porn story or even a novel, from literotica, for example. Such AMAZING visuals with some good writing can easily make this game one of the best. But as it is now, it's just a pretty pictures to look at.

Also, all who say that they still referred to as MC — you should choose " Define Names" or go to MC's room/PC/Setting. There you can define the way you referred to by each girl you live with. Still it is a bit weird that it is not set to the name you enter. Also the way you call them/they call you isn't worked that well into the writing, so you better use mom/sis or just name. I tried coming up with some cute family nicknames, but it makes those poor dialogues and inner monologues even more autistic. And character relationships, no matter how you'll call them, aren't there at all. They don't feel like family, they don't feel like roommates. They're just… I don't know… Acquaintances, I guess. Pretty autistic acquaintances with all kind of social and personality disorders and mood swings.

Review of version 0.4b

• The game is still buggy. Maybe is due to early beta. Your name selection is not relected in dialogues. Other characters still calls you MC. The black jack screen can sometimes get stuck together with shop screen
• Renders are average but good enough
• Music/sound effect selection are average but could be improved
• Still very early in the story and not much world building is done
• The intro started well but my interest in the game slowly fizzle as the more generic quests start. The dev should go more into the world building first and establish some characters before starting the sandbox routes
• So far nothing stand out yet for the this VN from the rest but it is still early in development. My opinion may change as it progress. Not a must play game but worth a try

One of the better games in this style. Story is pretty solid, looking forward to updates for sure.
If you are a fan of the whole paranormal aspect, you will love this, I hope this takes an even bigger role in future versions of this, for example more dreams and whatnot while going through the story and maybe even random ones that trigger just from sleeping. Overall, a great experience thus far, excited to see where it goes!

Outside of having pretty solid renders and animations, it's overall kinda average.

Whole thing screams Echoes of Lust with the interface and setup and everything in between. Dialogue and writing can sometimes be pretty hilarious not because of some of the grammar errors, but just by how notoriously blunt and shallow and short-term memory they all are. And on that note, despite typing in your name, everyone still refers to you as the MC and everything goes back to the landlady/tenant dynamic that I honestly find quite annoying nowadays.

I dont mind sandbox games (to a certain degree) but I just didn't find it all too engaging. Also, if you're going to introduce a haphazard event of a book about demons to fall onto the MC's head, probably try to build on that plot point. Otherwise, it just seems out of place and you forget that it happened by the time you finish all the content

I'll continue playing just for the sake of it and the renders/animations but this needs some life injected into it

Another bland sandbox that would have been much better off as a VN.
While the renders are pretty decent and the females attractive that's about the only positive at this stage.
Sandbox games are really getting old and just time consuming so unless you have a really engaging and original approach to it you more often then not just end up making a game that's more a chore to play raghter then a fun experience.
It's pretty early so it might improve slightly but I already lost my interest and wont be keeping an eye open for updates.
Wish the developer the best and good luck.

Review Bloody Passion [v0.4a Beta]
This is your average sandbox - check your phones for next step sandbox. Not the Worst but not really good either. It looks like the Game startet 2018 and for this Timespan there is really not a lot of content. After maybe 20min i found myself in my Room and clicking the bed for a nap to find the last content until i got a message that i could do the next step. I normaly would say to wait but given the time of over 2 years and whats there i cannot recomend it. It looks like the Dev wanted to tell a story and make a game like Dreams of Desire (just a feeling from the beginning), but then never had the time to go trough with it.
Graphic and Animations are good and i cannot say that this game has no potential to become something well liked.
I still hope for the Dev and the People who like this Game that this becomes a Game to recomend in the Future

Full transparency, I've only played 0.1 to test out on mac before going through the trouble of making the pc port work on my mac.

This game is.... extraordinarily bland. BDSM? Like, a little bit i guess? But thats what the games opening scene is. Have you played "My Cute Roommate" or "Girl House" or "Man of the house" or "Indecent Desires" or... well I could keep going but I won't. It's not unique. It's the annoying kind of open world where at some point you just click around and look for stuff to happen. There is a tip system/quest log, but it only populates once you've done the task. The lighting is always so dramatic; light rays and lens flares everywhere. I like the Miami Vice UI scheme though.

The MC is a massive simp with no real personality aside from "Must see boobs, must have PP touched". The *totally not your sisters and mom* girls are nicely modeled, the mom is ageless of course. But they always look wet, like they just ran a marathon or something.

Playing this made me want to focus on my homework instead of playing a porn game. The writing isn't bad, but English isn't the devs first language. Recruiting the help of an interpreter will never hurt. The grammar is painful at times.

I probably won't come back to this. Maybe once its finished IF it's ever finished. But it's just another drop in the bucket, and not even the best one. Eh.

Another (soon to be abandoned) early release (but has already gotten old), sandbox type, time-management RenPy game with no-brainer "young guy lives in a house full of women (roommates)" story and some convoluted free roam around the house (door opening simulator) to cover lack of content. It is still in very early stages (just 2 updates since its launch in 2018) which is just lazy. This game is so generic, unoriginal and cliche that it hurts. It even hurts the devs to update it and soon it will be abandoned. A waste of time.
