Ren'Py - Camp Klondike [Night Six Part Two] [Swimsoot]

First things first: don't get turned off by the artwork style. I promise it will grow on you (pun intended).
The idea and the setting are great, but what really makes this a fantastic Game/VN is the writing, which is really top notch.
Also, you must avoid if you are just looking for a quick FAP, because this is a relatively slow burning story.
I don't know why I only discovered this gem now, but I'm here for it!

This game is one of a kind.
super gentle and all about consent , which is great, yet super naughty and kinky/ BDSMish . very cerebral and super well written. i felt like i was a teenager once again.
the artwork is quite unique as well. i wouldn't say it the hottest but its refreshing and totally fits the vibe of the game. sometimes it looks a bit like a mix of Bill Sienkiewicz and Mad's covers !
Now that it comes to an end the length is very good. there isn't many paths to explore, a little gameplay here and there (which is welcomed) and it's definitly more on the VN side of the spectrum but that's all right.
again the greatness of the game isn't in the gamplay or technical elements:
this game is a coherent, kind, kinky artistic creation. it's one of a kind, it clever and outside of the common cannons of what non japanese lewd games are nowadays and its super cool.
i am sure that overtime it's gonna become a classic such a many indie movies which we not box office success but became great references.

Excellent Plot. Amazing Characters. Wonderful vibe. And deep emotional content.
The MC having multiple relationships at the same time doesn't feel weird like it can in some games.
The setting seems like it is one of the characters.

Oh man, it feels so liberating to have women with independent sexual agency, a sexual past (!) and their own goals and desires. If more porn games were like this, women would be so much more into them.

The scenes are incredibly sexy and it's not because some Alpha male sticks his dick into a faceless vagina, but rather because the build up is incredibly strong and the characters feel like people with wants and needs. No other game here is like this.

Yes, it's over the top at times. Yes, all the women are sorta depraved and act like horny teenagers 100% of the time, but then this is about discovering your own sexuality, so it needs to be condensed that way.

Really great game with women you can relate to. Please play it and support it if you can.

Played Night six part two - Has both the spanking and the bdsm tag. It's also rated rather highly, but the unusual artstyle kept me from trying it. Finally had some time to try it and have to say - the ratings are completely deserved.
It's mostly a kinetic novel - the options only give an illusion of choice and only change how a sex-scene plays out or whether you want to see certain content (or how extreme you like your content). You can't influence the plotline at all.
The art style is unusual and while it looks weird at first glance, you get used to it rather quickly and in the end I found it quite charming - it also fits the stories style and themes pretty well.
The game is about a group of teenagers spending a week together in a summer-camp in the woods while exploring their sexuality and relationships. It deals with accepting yourself and others, dealing in a mature way with fetishes, consent and growing up. The story and the characters are rather well written and pretty memorable.
It also stays rather realistic and grounded - sweet, wholesome and the drama feels like something that could actually happen with a bunch of teenagers rather than drama for drama's sake. The sex-scenes are well written and have a beautiful build up with a lot of teasing and fantasizing. You feel like you're really in the characters' head.
Bdsm-wise several of the characters have an interest that they explore during the story - nothing too extreme, but it's nice watching young, enthusiastic people exploring their fetishes in a realistic manner with all the stumbling that implies.
Has bondage, spanking, domination, clamps, gags and some role-play.
Also has some sharing/swinging/voyeurism, there are also two other boys who have relationships of their own (one of which can have a sexual encounter with the MC's girlfriend) - the creator generally warns the player when it's about to happen and you can abort it, but if you're easily upset by such story-beats, you might be offended. I personally thought that it fit the story pretty well, because it's part of the theme of living true to yourself without being bound by others expectations or demands.
Definitely worth trying. It's also pretty close to its climax - night number six is almost finished with most plotlines resolved, and it's implied that the game will have seven days.

The plot is straight forward, you play as a camp counselor spending a 1 week vacation with your fellow coworkers.

Pros:
- Good writing, good lengthy erotic scenes.
- Great music and sound effects.
- Some great art.

Cons:
- Lack of a narrative. You mostly spend 1 week stumbling around occasionally engaging in voyeurism or sex.
- Lack of characterization. The girls quickly meld together, use the same turn of phrases, are into the same kinks and most of them want to fuck you.
- Some downright bad art, like mushroom dicks.

Holllllyyyy molllley that was hawt

The art has a certain charm and this is one of the few games where the sex audio actually reeaallllyyy realy adds to the scene and makes it hot. Headphones on for sure most other games usually I play muted.

Despite sending me directly to horny jail this game does approach kink/consent & double standards very well.

I wonder how serious it's going to be for an ending is this going to be just a one off fuck fest or does something come out of this for MC & one of the girls?


Dude the roleplay though hot as fuck.
All around funny sexy romp 5 stars

What a GEM!
Graphics are a little weird, but faces (and nipples) are done really well and there is a lot of attention on small details which I loved. Also the animations are nicely done.
Story is interesting and well written, sometimes it rides a thin line of quirkiness but never oversteps.
Characters are great, interesting and kinda memorable. The two main girls are amazing, love 'em.
The scenes are extremely sexy, it's a great mix of slow burn but at the same time very naughty, really greatly done. My only complaints would be about the deepthroats not going deeper, and that there is a little too much happening on the past instead of the present. And the fact that it's almost over.. I want more Hayden and Merit!

Wow, the small "yeah"s are sooo hot. Could this be a kink of some sort? The interactions make my imagination run wild with anticipation. Excellent story telling and unique renders. I think a kinetic novel route could also be nice since freeroam and decisions doesn't seem to play a big role. I'll just hand the dev full control and enjoy the ride.

Camp Klondke is easily the best-written erotica available with fantastic employment as a visual novel. The chance to see the hidden side of an all-girls summer camp after the campers leave and the counselors are left to their own secret fantasies.

The minigames are kept to a minimum and are easy point-and-click to investigate each area. The characters, particularly the women, are insanely attractive. And the sex scenes are the best written I have seen in a visual novel.

Fantastic work, Swimsoot. An easy Patreon addition!

First things first, this is a great VN, up there with the best among the indie content on this site, and the definitive biggest reason for that, IMO, is the writing.

Most stories here have an obviously porn-y bend, often incorporating high fantasy/sci-fi as well. Camp Klondike is a rarer one which, while incredibly smutty, accomplishes everything in a realistic setting and realistic characters, without any fancy frills. It's a bunch of horny camp counselors figuring out life and sex. There's no mind control, no magic cock, no fame and glory, no incest or pseudo-incest (except one teaser), just young adults flirting and exploring kinks. Characters are developed well - in proportion to their role in the story - and the relationship dynamics are done incredibly well. That means, of course, the dialogue and build up are all engaging and believable.

One thing to note - in contrast to some other notable games here, there isn't any derogatory treatment of women, or any other class of person. Many other stories either rely on absurd stereotypes, or push some weird personal narrative of the dev. Camp Klondike is what I would consider very women-centric; all the girls have their own motives, and want to be sexually liberated and empowered, but simultaneously also have a genuine struggle with being hurt or objectified as a result of that. If you're not into that, this probably isn't the one for you.

One weird thing about that is that the camp has a huge purity culture, and there's even a certain religious building in the story... but every mention of why sex is bad in the story is basically "because morals." I mean literally - not a specific moral being called out, just "morality." I'm not sure if that's because the dev has mostly seen that mindset, or if they're avoiding calling out any specific ideology. Considering this is, like, the central theme of the story, I would've expected a discussion that really goes deeper into why this is a social norm, and at least one character that can thoughtfully articulate why it's stupid. Maybe this is being reserved for later but it's getting close to the end already.

OK, besides the writing itself, the game is actually more of a kinetic novel, there aren't many alternative choices at all, you just kind of get the option to not see some things. (Many bad choices result in an immediate redo, which feels a bit pointless, unless the dev plans to build those out later.) There are a few "interactive" scenes, which to be honest the interactivity was unnecessary, and given that they felt a bit clunky, probably burned an unreasonable amount of the dev's time. On the plus side, however, there are some basic animations and SFX which are used to great effect.

The art is obviously, immediately controversial. If nothing else, it definitely has its own style, and it seems totally hand drawn (well, digitally). I think it's a bit of an acquired taste, however, it's a bit... amateurish? Occasionally it's distracting to see incorrectly drawn hands or feet, that sort of thing. Mostly, it serves its purpose: it executes on a specific look and portrays sexiness. I can see that not being enough for a lot of people, which is unfortunate.

Overall a great, well-written VN, but one for a particular audience. Try it for half an hour. You'll probably love it or hate it.

Extremely unique game, I can't quite think of something like it because of the art style, but also how the characters interact with each other. It's well-written.

I will admit the author definitely seems to have a thing for pubic hair but I don't mind it, they give players a choice later on about the subject, but I definitely see two end-game characters, and while I think the author is pushing players towards one character based on childhood friendship (even their Patreon has their highest level be based on Merit), I think Hayden is my end game choice if I had to right now. She has embraced being kinky and vulnerable with the MC.

Maybe there is no end game, and when camp is over people will move on, which is also a realistic ending, but I hope it doesn't happen.

Also, the humor in this game has been mentioned by other reviewers but it still deserves a shout-out, the characters say some of the funniest stuff imaginable in situations.

Do yourself a favor and play this game. It's going to be better than you expected.

Yes, the art style is unique, but so is this game. Rather than just being a background for some text, the art is almost like another character. Thr animations aren't just some mechanical movements (okay, *some* of them are...) but they actually add depth, tension, and tone to the story in a way that I've not really seen. Especially as you get to the later days and dive into the fantasies. There are moments with the dialog is in the artwork, not a text box, and adds another level of immersion.

The setting is somewhat cliché - camp counselors closing up shop at the end of the summer, but the story unfolds in a mostly-realistic way. Different characters are more into different things, and not everyone just wants to jump MCs bones. Everyone is depressed and horny, but not going to fuck just because they can. There's still some suspension of disbelief, but if you've ever been a camp counselor, you know it's not so far fetched. And if you wanted something totally realistic, you'd be playing Farming Simulator.

Where this game shines the most, for me, is in how the story unfolds and the kinks explored. There a lot of tension and taboo, but it comes from internal struggles and trying to accept or balance what you want with what is expected of you. To that note, the game even takes a pro-woman bend, acknowledging that it can and should be an empowering thing for a woman to explore her desires. So if your thing is abusing power and degrading women, this won't scratch that itch. MC is by no means a cuck and has plenty of kinky fun, it's just with strong women who understand - and desire - the things they're consenting to.

As the game goes on, some of the biggest themes include exhibitionism, voyeurism, and control, with (female) characters watching and directing the actions of other (also female) characters with MC. Obviously MC has relations with more than one girl, but it's not just separate threads that eventually allow a cliché threescore. It's clear the author is writing kinks they enjoy, not just things they've heard about.

Last thing I'll mention is the humor. Occasionally you see the one-liner coming, but even then, it's still good. The characters roast each other at times. They act like camp counselors would act with each other after spending a summer together.

Overall, one of my favorite adult games I've played and even though I'm disappointed that the end is near, I have high hopes for the finale and will definitely be watching for Swimsoot's future projects.

Version Reviewed: Night Six Part One

Overview: Talk dirty to me.

Story: You are a not too bright and somewhat oblivious guy who finds himself in a formerly all girls camp with a large number of horny campers who are all into a variety of fetishes. Ok, this is not the most original story, but what makes this game stand out is the quality of the writing. In what is far too rare for porno VNs this developer knows how to write very hot sex scenes. It's hard to overstate just how much better the writing is in this game compared to almost any other game on this site. Every character is fully realized and each has their own fetish to explore. One nice thing is that this game knows it is a porno game so it doesn't spend too long on non-porn plots. There's just enough to make the characters more than a bag of fetishes and boobs, but you'll never get bored clicking through some endless backstory and mundane daily dialogs.

Graphics: You're probably looking at the screenshots dubiously aren't you? Honestly, the art leaves a lot to the imagination, and especially early in the game it's rough. The artist really loves huge bucktooth smiles so I hope that doesn't turn you off. While the game has quite a bit of animation, it never looks great. The game has sound effects and music, but nothing to write home about.

Fapability: This is a real standout of the game. Despite the art being a bit hard to make out at times the writing will keep you fully engaged. I find it works best to take the game about 1 day at a time.

Conclusion: Although it would be easy to overlook this game if you're just looking at the screenshots, you shouldn't because it has about the best writing of any game on this site. I'd rate the game 3/5 on graphics, and 7/5 on writing, averaging out to a perfect five star game.

Legit funny. Not "funny for a semi-amateur porn game" funny, but laugh-out-loud, why-didn't-I-think-of-that-joke funny. I got to day 2 and signed up on Patreon. The art style is quirky and takes some getting used to, but I bet you've never seen another game that looks like it. I haven't even gotten to a real sex scene yet, and I still love it. Well done. 5/5

Writing is detailed, humorous, and erotic, story and plot is interesting and well concieved, art is unique... you will begin to like it the longer you play, not every girl will be into you in this story but the hottest ones are and thats whats important, the game is 70% teasing which would throw some people off but the exceptional dialogue and pacing makes it work. The only reason why this is 4 stars is because of that fucking scene with Merit and the fat kid I mean... just why? Just imagine that that scene doesnt exist and you'll be good the rest of the game.

The graphics aren't the best, but this game has literally the best erotic writing I've ever come across, period. This includes actual published novels and such. It manages to build incredible sexual tension and delivers incredibly erotic scenes.

Seriously, just play it.

That aside, there are some weak points, but they don't detract from the >5 star experience this is:

- The graphics require some getting used to. The developer clearly spent a lot of time building and animating scenes, which is great, but graphics that are tighter and more polished would elevate the experience

- While it doesn't say [VN] on the tin, this is very much a story-oriented "game" that follows a mostly linear path. You can make some choices, but I'd definitely call it more "interactive story" than "video game". Being essentially a VN isn't bad, because it's probably required to tell a story of this caliber without the resources of an A-class studio, but still, this might turn some people off.

TL/DR: I can see why someone might really like this title- but it wasn't for me. It is quirky and well written...but I only got 3 days into this title before I deleted it from my hard-drive with a feeling of disgust. Almost every character is an unabashed slut, including the "innocent childhood friend." After you start sexual content with her- she basically forced some lil fat dude to masturbate in front of her...eww. Very little content is avoidable and the stuff that is avoidable is not well telegraphed so you have no fucking idea what you are getting yourself into. I would not rec this title to anyone who has aversion to sharing kinks.

+Writing is good.
+ Game is a bit quirky in a lot of good ways.
+ Art has a unique style.
+Sprite art and non sex or teasing art is great
+Had some content I loved. Like the Maledom BDSM bits, and some of the parts where the girls egg the MC on verbally in ways that didn't involve other men or talking about getting off on imagining other men watching them...
+The scenes that I did enjoy were written exceptionally. The pacing of the erotic scene description is sublime.
+Bush
+Freckles
+Very consent positive

- The main kink in this game is voyeurism.
-Game needs to be tagged better. Tags like cheating, bukake, and some ntr adjacent content really ruined this title for me and I felt deceived by the developer's preview pics, game description, and tag portfolio. It didn't really tell the full story of what the game was as a sex game.
- Very little of sexual content was avoidable. Since there were things I *really* didn't like / things I found gross; this was a huge deal-breaker and negative for me. Practically completely ruining my possibility of enjoying this title.
-Lack of choices in general was an issue. You can choose which order you visit the various buildings within a given day- but generally when you are given a dialogue choice it is either a binary set of choices with one choice leading to a bad end OR just there for flavor.
-Art for the sexual content is a little hit or miss

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!

A) How would i describe this ?
= Stupendo fantabulously phantasmagorically magical collection of art meant to service your heart AND your crank.

B) Who should give a shit?
= You....you should. I have played 100+ AVNs and I have only rated ONE other AVN in this exact fashion with these exact words. The dev has cooked something for which we ARE NOT ready for.

On surface, the game is about a group of counselors blowing steam off after camp ends and it's about exploration of their naughty side. BUT IT'S SO MUCH MORE...
Even tho the game is very lighthearted at the core, it doesn't shy away from hinting at deep concepts related to self image, repression, and regrets.

I am a proud handholding, pat-giving, hug seeking fucko that will refuse to play games that only offer porn and no coherent plot or authentic characters. If I want porn I can just go to the orange site or some place....no...I'm not reading it to empty my balls but to rather fill my heart. Even tho the game is very heavy on sex and Kink exploration, it's done in such a perfect fashion that it doesn't even come off as porn...it comes off as genuine and authentic story about people coming to terms with what they want and who they are. It doesn't have a crazy plot since it's lighthearted but there is a plot and it ties so well with the H scenes that I just want to hug this game for making me feel good.

Warning:
Not everyone is jumping on MCs dick and not everyone is a virgin waiting just for MC to defile them......AND this is what makes the game realistic. So if you are offended by girls talking about their past experiences or seeing those scenes, then you might not enjoy it. Game is NOT about you, it's about Kink exploration of camp counselors and you are a part of it rather than being the whole.

Pros: HAND-FUCKING-DRAWN art that's unique and original (art style really grows on you), sound effects and music are like fine selection of caviar, WRITING IS ABSOLUTE GOLD (one of the most quirky and extremely witty pieces of humor), animations are decent, and characters are deep.

Cons: NONE.

Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely pick this up now!!

Still on the fence?
Ever thought a dish might not taste good cuz of how it looked but once you got the taste you couldn't believe how good it was.....that's this game. Not convinced? Ok...how about ever come across a game (pun intended) that has jokes about about mosquitoes getting herpes, possibility of a wet nightmare, smelling the logs that would be burned for sauna, jedi nip trick, bowling ball with three holes and simping after the weather savior of our generation?? The setup and delivery of these jokes put this game on next level.

Don't do yourself disservice by not giving this a go!

Go play it already!
