VN - Ren'Py - Call of Nature [Ch.2 P2 v0.7] [Hyperbolic Flower]

An interesting and eye-catching game that tries to develop a darker and more serious story but so far is missing the mark.

Reviewing as of 0.7

Pros:

• Gallery is included
• Around 1-2 hours to complete
• The character models are decent, it's a Koikatsu game after all
• Animations and H-scenes are above average
• There's a point system that influences you getting certain scenes
• There is a guide

Cons:

• I personally dislike most of the characters, there's nothing redeeming from most of them
• The story tries to be dark and serious but it just doesn't work with the H-scenes and the characters made in the story
• Confused on the point system and why some actions gain points and others lose points. The correct options don't make sense sometimes.

Conclusion:

The game is fine, but that's all it really is. I'm really confused with the writing and the story of this game and most of the characters in the game are just mean, weird or make no sense. I'm indifferent about this game and I'm not recommending it right now, but maybe in a few updates it could change.

I don't usually do these kinds of things, but I highly recommend this game because everything is based on morality and how many points you can accumulate throughout the story. There are some things that haven't come out yet, but analyzing the plot of getting to know other places, living like they do, and the protagonist not knowing which side to choose, and combining how he lived or what he was told since he was a child, it hooks you, and of course, apart from the scenes... I recommend it, and for a Koikatsu game, it's not bad at all.

I tried this for the second time and got, again, bored and frustrated.

Bored because the story is quite generic and not interesting enough. It tries to be mysterious by not giving you information, but it fails at that. So there are some fighting clubs in the high school that "everybody knows about" yet no one tells the MC for one reason or another ( "you have to go to class!") and, at the same time, these clubs seem interested in him and attack and antagonize him out of nowhere... ok. For that to work, the characters should be interesting but.... they are not. They are generic and you have seen them all already in a million VNs.

And frustrated because of two things:
1) Nearly every single female character is rude to the MC for no reason, they are all too edgy and have a "bad girl" or "slut" or "too cold" attitude cranked to 11. The sluts are uber sluts, the bad girls are rude to you all the time and the rest are all cold and distant with you and do not want to be distracted in their studies. We are supposed to chase after these girls, but I find that annoying and frustrating. I would just ignore/reject like 95% of the LIs.

2) The game mechanics.... so there is this good/bad system.... do you want to flirt and nearly fuck the wife of the man in whose house you are living? well, that doesn't make you bad.... but be rude in a conversation and that gives you +1 to bad. Also, stand for yourself against the abuse of one of the bad girls and.... yeah, +1 to bad. Now, be polite and normal in conversation, and that gives you +1 to good, eliminating your "bad" points.... which you actually need to then have sex scenes in several occasions (because we all know that unless you are a bad person, you won't accept to have your dick sucked by a slutty bimbo that jumps you... we all know that no man ever would let his dick be sucked unless he was completely evil..... )

Other than that... the design of the women is boring and clearly shows a type. It is Koikatsu so there is probably not a lot of options (dunno) but every single girl has huge tits, thin wasp-like belly and a massive ass.

So generic story, annoying characters, silly and getting in the way relationship / karma system.... it is only missing a poorly thought out sandbox. Give this a pass.

I loved it.
Very good animations, hot (and busty) girls, and an intriguing story with a certain visual beauty. The game is a visual novel with two paths: a good one and an evil one. A little bit anotying but decisions are simple and there is a walkthrough to guide you. The scenes have a dozen animations linked with images and multiple positions. And the story is the typical new-boy-in-school tale. Nothing particularly original, but with good suspense and some innocent humor. The music accompanies the different scenes well.
It's one of the best Koikatsu games I've played on this site.
The only thing I didn't like is that the MC hasn't had a chance to come inside any of the girls yet. More impregnation would be nice.

Amazing experiencie for just a 0.2
Great characters and the writing is not lazy, i love it.
There are a lot of games in the platform that tries to do this but fail horrendously.
I am really hoping to get the whole story of these big bazongas, will support, thank you

So far, I enjoy the set-up of the story.
There's an interesting twist which makes it worth playing.
Curious to see how it will develop with the updates.

The renders are good quality, no weird poses or stuff like that.
I like the character's look, but that's mostly a matter of taste anyway.
The game is clearly being proofread, as the mistakes are minor and few, which I appreciate.

Considering that it's a new dev, I'm hopeful for this game.

not a fan.

to anyone reading this review during the current release (0.2) both of the sex scenes are dreams. yep.

firstly, does the story make up for it? uh.. idk? it's just.. generic. when it comes to generic, i expect lots of nsfw to make up for it and turn it into a good jerkgame. this is neither. the story is generic, and the "sex scenes" are your average "this game has content!!" bait when it actually doesn't. the game is very clearly miles away from having any meaningful content with the characters you're close with and yet it portrays itself as having those scenes when it really doesn't. i mean, if you like dreams, go ahead...

secondly, EVERY single dialogue choice impacts your relationship with the characters, no matter how minute. and they are COMMON. is this a bad thing in well done games? no. is this a bad thing in generic koikatsu slop games? yes.

overall, i REALLY hate the fact that the dev baits people into believing it has sex scenes when it really doesn't (fuck dream sequences) and i really hate the fact that there is such an elaborate relationship system where there really shouldn't be one. this game would work well as a fap game. it has decent girls, you know to write a quick-flowing story well, just give us content. make them easily accessible. give up the whole indepth relationship story thing for your next game, this is not it.

edit: i didn't really mention much else (music, scenes, etc) for a good reason. it's all very, VERY generic. if you play it, you'll understand.

I loved it. It is still a first version but I am willing to give it a vote of confidence. The story is warm and catching. The girls are sexy and well "developed", the scenes are hot. The gameplay is simple, and it comes with its own walkthrough. Good music and sound effects.
Hope to see more.
