VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Boho [v1.0] [CabalZ]

v1.0

The beauty of this incest VN is its simplicity.
For a taboo sex focused VN it has quite a substantial plot with a sprinkle of drama and plot twists. Again its simplistic but still decently written. The pacing was just right however i feel it gets to the lewd content too quickly, as in the LIs get bedded too early. It could benefit with more teasing and sexual tension.

The characters are the highlight, very three dimensional with well written personalities and backstories. They carried the narrative. Moreover i love how the mom and aunt actually do look older and behave like a mom/aunt(disregarding the incest).

The models and renders are pretty low res and dated but its fine with me. The older women do actually look their age(not a 40 yr old in a 18yr old body BS we often see in VNs) and overall i won't paint the character models as beautiful. I would say they look realistic.

The sex scenes are a bit of a disappointment. Scenes are too short. Choreograph had potential but unfortunately didn't meet expectations. There were a few opening scenes that were kinky and hot but got shut down(MC & LI didn't want to get caught etc etc), not sure if dev did it deliberately or he didn't know how to translate the kink into renders.

Overall a joy to play.

Didn't really care for this one, which is doubly disappointing, considering how great Solaris was.

Just too much technically bad, to really be able to enjoy it.

Renders are compressed to the point of looking terrible. Very flat and grainy.
Lewd scenes are not much fun. Way too dark, not enough positions or angles, and very basic animations.
No audio at all, and no choices that seem to matter much.
MC is a total dial tone, and the girls are not much different from each other and can be pretty irritating.

Writing and dialogue are not great, and the story is pretty generic incest harem.

I guess my expectations were a bit high, and it's not a total waste of time, it just could have been much better, with a bit more effort.

I loved this. For many reasons.
1. The LI's are not drop dead gorgeous, with massive FF breasts, and impossible asses. They look like they could actually be the MC's family.

2. The progression was a tad fast, but that is what some are looking for. I found it just fine.

3. The renders are quite well done with some minor lighting issues in like a whole two scenes.

4. I disagree about what say about the writing. It seemed natural to me and flowed well.

The only reason that this did not get 5 stars is because it ended rather abruptly and left a lot of loose ends.
I would like to see a sequel to see what happens.
GREAT WORK!

There's a fair bit of good work here. The genuinely worst part is the fourth-wall-breaking "the MC is making this exact game" bits.
Other than that, it has a fairly well-paced story and decent enough renders. Nothing spectacular, but passable. Even as far as your typical incest renpy game goes it wasn't horrid enough to quit before getting all the way though, although it doesn't qualify for any re-plays. A confident "OK" for this game.

Ending was a bit rush, there are some minor irregularities in the story but overall as a porn story it really serves it's perpose I never found myself bored of it. Characters are good, renders and animations are good.
Definitely something to give a try.

[v1.0][CabalZ]
Story: 3.5 (Funny, but a bit cliché and sometimes jumpy)
Originality: 4 (Nice twist to the story, and breaking of the 4th wall)
Renders: 4 (Some errors, but most renders are 'realistic')
Sound: 0, N/A
Playability: 5 (Easy to play)
Bugs: 5 (Haven't found any)
Animations: 3.5 (Few, simple, but well done)
Voice Acting: 0 (None)
Grammar: 4 (A few errors, would have given a bit less... but the errors sometimes matched the characters' education level)
Amount of content: 4 (Good amount)

Had no expectation, find it worth the time I spent on it.

Not really lengthy, but has a decent amount of content.
Models are fine, animation is basic but ok.
There are some lighting issues, but nothing major.
Overall is a decent experience, and it does have some 'soul' of a story, even if not developed to its fullest.

Every H-scene had godawful lighting and was rendered at potato quality. The writing jumped all over the place and was equal parts confusing and redundant. With that being said, it was quick and decently fappable.

This game went from 2-stars to 4-stars for me in the last few pages.

The protagonist is an unremarkable cypher, with inexplicable feelings for his mother, his aunt, his cousin, and a few random girls that he meets along the way. And, of course, he effortlessly breezes into implausible sexual scenarios with every girl who crosses his path. Along the way, the mc spends the evenings working on, apparently, this very game, Boho.

The story is puerile, like what a child might imagine as the plot of a pornographic movie. The writing is mundane and totally unsexy. The renderings are uncanny but ok, made up of a slightly ugly selection of common Daz assets.

As a reader, I kept hoping for a conflict, a consequence, a trace of personality beyond repressed desire for the mc, some interesting love triangle to emerge, but ... nothing? It's not very long, but so perfunctory that I considered stopping several times. Eventually, I got curious about how _long_ the author could possibly stretch this out...

I will not spoil the ending. But, as I said, the ending is well worth the investment. It does not actually address any of my complaints above, it does not add any depth or sexiness whatsoever, but it somehow ramps the plot right past puerile into the sublime.

Totally unfappable, but highly amusing on its own merits.

Absolutely amazing game! Real incest and awesome story! I loved how developer wrote this story and scenes... But everybody i mean EVERYBODY waited for a foursame or at least threesome...

And i loved how characters get upset on their face! They have a different face shape than other games and i liked it. Keep making incest games!

The biggest flaw of this game is that all the animated scenes are way too dark. The game might be completed, but the developer should not leave the game as is. He should remake the animated scenes to have the same lighting as the rest of the game.

Other than that, I like the theme and the females are pretty attractive.

The game itself is a lot of fun. There's no real gameplay, it's a novel about a family. The story is quite peculiar and funny, the animations are very good, not excellent but not bad. I really like the various characters and also the models. The game doesn't last very long but it knows how to do its job well and manages to entertain the player. It's not a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it and I hope the same goes for everyone else.

Imo, this is more of a 3.5 out of 5 game but I'll give it 4 not to bring it down.

It's a good game if you're into that fetish. The story is pretty fucked up as it should be, though it kinda gets to the sex part too quickly. I really like the models, as they look beautiful to me, while being realistic.

The real downside, to me, it's the animations. They are not bad, and there's a lot, but there's a lack a variety. I would have liked more handjobs and blowjobs. There is no cum too, none, which I find pretty weird for that kind of game.

And the end might be a bit abrupt. When you learn the twist and the taboo is at climax, it stops there.

But it's not very long and it's worth playing.

Good enough writing, for a "fast paced" game, even very good at times.
Decent looking human characters, a little uneralistic in case of the "old" ones, but its okei.
Sexual interactions for the most part come out of nwhere without much transition, they just respawn naked and fucking.
For the young lady of the house there is some work, and its like it should be.
Lola character is disturbing how she went from looking 7, to 11 to "18" year old in 4 scenes.

Overall is good enough, and entertaining.

A family gets together and wickedness ensues. Includes a mom, aunt, niece... and more... in a way.

Gameplay wise it's mostly a short novel with decisions that possibly lock out sex (it's pretty obvious which choices lead to what).

Characters are somewhat fleshed out to make them more than sex-dolls. The Lola character on the playground kinda weirded me out, but luckily you're not railroaded into bedding her.

Dialog is fine. It's not going to change any worldviews but thanks to the game's dynamic pace it didn't bore me.

Sex scenes are mostly a single animation, which are smooth enough, and dirty talk which worked pretty well.


Try it out if you like the genres.

This game has a beautiful, exciting, fantastic plot, without grinding. Some events occur even faster than expected, sometimes much faster. The only remark is the girls' models. They, like real girls and women, are ordinary, and not all beauties, as in most such games. But it adds "reality" to this unreal story.

this short review refers to Boho version 1.0 (the complete version)

I guess Boho’s strongest merit lies on its authenticity. It's essentially a linear novel with few choices (most of them leading only to scenes’ jumping) describing what seems to be an actual and personal experience.
In such sense, the plot evolves rather naturally — even though a bit too “anxious” (too fast) for my taste —, with credible character interactions and dialogues. Further: Boho is a porn novel, thus one shouldn’t expect it to be a (theatre or screen) play. There are also some [storylines’] twists that grab the player’s attention.

There’s a bit of a logical circularity when the Writer/Dev decides to write and release Boho inside the game itself; yet, s/he/they do/es it fairly well by keeping both universes distinct and barely breaking the 4th-Wall.

The graphics overall are fine; yet, I do find the space to be a bit too empty (decors’ subtilization) and the renderings’ luminosity could be improved at some points.

There’s always room for amelioration; yet, I deem Boho as an honest project that delivers a nice experience for those who play it.

Good job, CabalZ.

Decent mid length visual novel. Nearly kinetic but there were some yes/no options here and there.

Story: 2/5
Not much of a story realy. Some effort was put in but that is about it.

Writing: 4/5
It is written in english without much error and well enough dialogue to be somewhat believable.

Art: 4/5
With the tools used, it was well made. A little on the darker side of color/lighting.

Models: 3/5
Main issues for me were how the mom and aunt bodies were like a teenagers while their faces were older looking. very odd.
The only other gripe I have is the Lola girl going from looking 5 to like 14 or so. If she had the same model both times (either one) I'd have not found it so jarring.

Characters: 3/5
They feel kinda samey to me. The cousin had some life to her but the rest felt bland to me.

Enjoyment: 4/5
I liked it. Fix the models and maybe develop a better ending, or add to the ending like a time skip or something and it would have felt like a better experience overall.

This wasn't quite the straight forward story line I first thought. It was surprisingly enjoyable.

I like that the models were made with realistic proportions. If the loli tag referred to Riley I don't really consider her a loli, just petite which is fine, I'm not big on lolis anyway.

The main critique I have was with some of the writing. The Dev (assuming he did the writing) was awful big on characters replying with "K". That got old quickly. The writer should have mixed it up some with other replies not just "K" constantly.

Also the constant baby boy, big boy, good boy, etc. would get on my nerves. The MC was also a bit old to call mom, mommy. It sounded unnatural.

All in all, not bad.

Short But Sweet.
renders - 3.5/5
story - 4/5
Engagement with character is pretty good.
Nice job writer and developers .. .. Ending can be improved. if rework on ending it will be pretty good.
