Ren'Py - Club Detention [v0.0873] [Yorma86]

Love the game, thank you for your work. It's really refreshing just hope we get more scenes with Lauren she's really cute. I really like the management system you've done a realy good job with it. This game really deserves more visibility. Can't wait for the next update.

Excellent sandbox, good graphics, good UI.

I am looking forward to more actual sex scenes and depraved stuff.

This game should be rated higher than only 4. Maybe more frequent updates can help.

Grind can be skipped by built in cheats.

With the latest upgrade, this game is really starting to get interesting. There's a fine element of management in running the club, and some interesting storylines for the individual girls. There's still room for development, but seeing how much the game improved from 0.6 to 0.8, I'm really looking to following it, and upgrading my rating as time passes.

The renders are good but the gameplay is confusing. What do we have to do? With no gallery yo can't even know you miss scenes or not. The story is even more chaotic and confusing. Multiple characters feel redundant and blot the game the sake of increasing playtime.

Club Detention has the exact same problem as some other hostess cabaret AVNs where the mini-game itself is quite shallow and exists separately from the rest of the game.

You will receive notifications about sexual activities that transpired during your girls' work hours which will not be acknowledged by the game in any way other than a tiny line of text in a very busy day transition screen most people won't bother to read.
You can build a dancing facility and assign whoever you want and they'll work alright unless you willingly start a "generic event" where all of a sudden they're all shocked about being assigned to work as a stripper and try to get out of it.
And, of course, it has plenty of generic placeholder-y replies in the club minigame due to a pointlessly bloated cast.

The game's main influence can also be thanked for the inclusion of the same stupid little sharing 'toggle' for each individual girl that bypasses narrative progression in favor of clicking one button so there's no build up, hesitation, testing the waters, tug of war or really anything else that would make the non-monogamy content actually exciting. Though, frankly, this part of the game just doesn't seem to have any content at all so maybe that's the problem.

As far as the story goes, there is no story past the admittedly cute if a bit contrived premise of a delinquent school-cabaret and entirely pointless inclusion of a corruption magic wielding succubus character that just shouldn't have been in the game at all.
Now, the main story line in an expansive game like this usually just serves as a way to structure side content. Alas the side content, delivered through character subplots, is sparse and extremely unfocused:

1) Jennifer - initially one of the more fun characters except she gets turned into a completely different person after 10 minutes of playtime for no reason. Even swaps her hair color symbolizing the change and bringing a million bugs with it. Has, like, no content except there's for some reason a big ass random ass murder mystery (during which she'll give you a blowjob completely out of the blue annihilating any immersion you could've had like it's one of those stupid meme pornos where pizza delivery guy opens the box and it's his dick there) and an Ace Attorney style court minigame.
Just puzzling and disappointing all-around.

2) Anna - the beginning of her arc is inexplicably locked behind HOURS of playtime and once you finally get to it you're greeted with an obnoxious, fairly long doki-doki/miside-esque 4th wall breaking subversive yada-yada AVN parody that pokes fun at landlady incest games... okay? If only all this effort was put into actually developing her character.
NTS/NTR content is represented by a groping scene at the church that quickly progresses into oral and a beach scene where she can be convinced to show off which summons a stranger out of nowhere who can then be allowed to mess around with her. The first one progresses way too quickly while the second one is written in a very bland way where it doesn't take any of her actual characterization into account so she could be swapped out for literally any other girl.

3) Natalie - presented through various different cutscenes as a dominant boss bitch which doesn't go anywhere as most of her content is random sex scenes with no build up, tension or pay off delivered through a bizarre gimmick that works as a substitute for real plot (her being a witch???).
NTS content is frankly just not good and is represented so far by a single beach scene where, if chosen to tell her you're okay with her messing around with other people, she'll promptly fuck a stranger while acting like a porn star which is basically an even worse version of an already meh scene with Anna.

The rest are either fairly bland/gimmicky, have no content or both. The inclusion of Olivia, for example, is a completely pointless patreon ban bait.

The review might seem harsh as I did overall have an okay time with the game and I really want to believe that as more content gets added the good starts to outweigh the bad but after some of the stuff like the shallow, completely uninteresting later content with Natalie or how poorly designed the club thing still is I just don't know if I'm excited anymore.

loved it. the mechanics took some time to getting used too, but overall the game is so enjoyable that i cant really consider it a flaw. Love the renders and the personalities of the girls. One of the best games on this site right now.

This one is the best game around here now; and, when I write "game," I mean it literally — this one, differently from others that are mostly stories with some branching, is actually a game. It's a management game where you manage both a school and a brothel — and the students and the hostesses are the same! It's a sandbox, but it couldn't be otherwise — as I said, it's a game! But it's not something to be terrified — there's an in-game walkthrough in the journal.
Besides being an actual game, there's also a story which is, of course, not a literature magnus opus (because you won't find any of this kind around here unless you're deluded), but it's entertaining. The characters are well developed, having each girl their personality, and the models, though not unique, being many of them either quite known (like Emma, who's Teen Josie 8) or renditions of celebrities (you'll find Hermione and Chloe Moretz). The reference to Suckerpunch is also strong.
There are other gems, like the trial sequence that's a tribute to the Ace Attorney games. This is, though, only one of its many surprises that I won't spoil here.

The game has great potential and I'm looking forward to see what will come up.
Its not perfect, but which one is?
It has great graphic and events. The history is like in any porn movie: an unrealistic fantasy which satisfy your desires. Give it try

Great game with the background, mechanics, setup and even graphics.
So why only 3 star ? Because the gameplay is completely f*cked up, there's no way to have proper progression, orientation, freedom of choice. The game lacks vision and clarity for the player to evolve. Some characters progresson are stuck, we unlock their inhibition for custumers and not ourserves, the lewed content are too short and tasteless.
Need A structural rework on progression and lewd scenes to make them more interesting and immersive. Then, it could be one of the greatest game out there.

Awesome game!

Generally, I despise sandboxes, but if they are done well, they can be really enjoyable and can draw me in. This one is done well.

There are A LOT of appealing possible paths lined up, and quite a few fetishes are involved. There are a lot of differently appealing girls- this one is fairly unusual for me, as typically, I'm only drawn to one or two, and don't care about the rest. But this one is the opposite- there are only one or two girls here that don't do anything for me, and that's probably because of the lack of content for them compared to other girls.

This game does what many games aspire to do, but struggle to pull off- it is fun as a game, and the erotic material is compelling enough to continue playing, despite the slower pace compared to a VN. The game design is addictive, and feels fun instead of like an annoying grind.

My only concern about this game is the same as a lot of really good games- can the developer continue working on it at a good pace?

Dull and boring gameplay, unnecessary grindy for "relationship" stats without any indication how much is needed for progress. Lack of any good scenes.

I am mixed about this game, it is definitely not a masterpiece some claim it to be. The core of the game, from stats to research is well thought. Rich and spoiled, high school.

The beginning of the story also seemed, good, I was almost certain, I will put 5 stars after first 15 minutes. After the prologue and opening the club, the game gets worse. For some reason girls cannot work more than 4 days in same position and need to be swapped out regularly. You can save 10,000gold and research "auto rotation", but it seems bugged, and leaves half of the spots empty.

Same pointless thing happens with grades and tuition. Btw, the game softlocks you from many achievements when "Lilith" is added to the class. As she has no knowledge, I got full class of A+ scores, with Lilith sitting at D/F.

There are significant issues in game and from design standpoint that would turn me away from checking it for the future updates. I don't give 5* to a game where I would not be interested in playing once every other update.

In a core, this game is a brothel simulator, and you get random events/updates during sleep, on what is happening with the girls. The problem is that is really all you get, just few text lines, sometimes ambiguous about what is really happening down there. You can even build surveilance room, and add 3 cameras, that do exactly what? Nothing. Why add a placeholder content in the game?

Other part of the game is school simulator, with gradual corruption and policies that make school go into debauchery, this is an overall a solid path for the game development. Make HHS+ but better?

Although, I liked the lilith model, I feel like succubus is totally unnecessary here. If you have such powerful brainwashing "mystical" powers from ancient devil why even bother corrupting?

There is an inspector who comes every week, but we hear and see nothing about what he does with the girls. It is like a completely filler event wherever you let him pick a girl, or give him money. He also does not request more and more as the club grows. It feels like he has no weight at all.

Another reason, why I would not be checking for future updates is lack of straighforward gameflow, and lack of gallery. It is almost impossible to tell if you are missing any scenes or if there is nothing to open left. At this point even if new content is added, it won't make much impact.

The grind without cheats sometimes makes no sense, there should be a more gradual rather than steep progression in relationships, with more obvious breakpoints. Even if you cheat, you don't know how situation changes with a stat being at 10/15/30/50/100/999.

I am putting 3/5 as I think this game has a potential, but it needs a lot of work, and various elements may need a complete overhaul.

One of my favorite games on F95ZONE! The art is very good, it's got plenty of choice and paths to take and very interesting and unique mechanics as well! The characters have diverse personalities and can be shaped according to your desires, the MC as well. Keep up the great work dev!

Loved the game! Great writing, beautiful girls, Natalie definitely needs her own series if the developer wants to create more games
The game is fun enough to not make you want to skip the dialogs. The only partI found difficult (not intuitive) was the trial

It's a great sandbox game,In particular, almost all of its labels are my favorites. The characters are also beautiful and varied. This gentle femdom style is hoped to be applied to the guests.
At last, I hope the developers stick with it, I'm looking forward to it, and I wish the developers better and better

Great game with a wide range of fetishes and well-modeled characters. The scripts are perfect for a porngame, leading to situations that make anyone hard, the scenes are very well done and with each update the game becomes more interesting. I hope gangbang and bukkake are added in the future

I give up on this game. I've spent way to much time on it and its a sandbox clickfest mostly. CLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITYCLICKITY

Over and Over and Over again, The story is not great, the renders are MEH, the controls and UI are trash, Teach X Class or Teach Y Class and it really isn't clicking at all for me. It's way to complicated and convoluted to be enjoyable. The Point system makes no sense as to what they mean overall
and so many damn different points systems for example you have Corruption, Charisma, Affection. Dominant the lists just goes on and on with no real indication what they do.

There is NO Gallery at least if there was you would be able to see if anything you are doing is going to get interesting. After a few hours of play I just find this VN annoying and way to complicated for what it is.

I just spent...way too many hours playing this haha. Excellent start to it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses! The renders are fabulous, and while it's a tad grindy, once you start getting things moving, it's actually not too bad.
My only real complaint so far (other than wanting ALL the content lol) is that figuring out which girls have special events at the club, in what room is a bit tedious. I'm assuming that will change with content updates, so I'm not really complaining, just pointing it out.
The court process was interesting, but long, and if you're moving a little too fast, you wind up accidentally skipping over the divergence points you need to hit in order to win the case (even with the walkthrough).

Actual bug: Clicking on the calendar tab of the journal (which I'm assuming hasn't been implemented) causes a Ren'py error that can't be backed out of.

This game has some fantastic women. They all have personality and great models. All the scenes are excellently rendered and very hot. I usually don't like the sandbox elements in games, but the dev has made a lot of updates to improve user experience and add a lot of hot sandbox events.

Cons: I want to see more from the girls who have gotten storylines. Right now their quests all end in a similiar point, but I fear because of how many characters there are it may take a while for the dev to circle back and finish the routes already started.

The game's sandbox system is quite easy once you understand its mechanics. It doesn't interrupt the story or restrict scenes in a frustrating way. Additionally, when you master the use of the sandbox, you never run out of money, and your stats are always in great shape. Although the models are of good quality, unfortunately, there are no animations available.

Story 3/5
Story is pretty decent but a bit borring at times, main story might become fun but girls stories are a bit meh for now.
MC gets hired at a college that ends up making a hostess club using the students, theres a share/prostitute route or no sharing keeping them all for him self.
It will be the share/hooker route that will get worked on first so it will be a long time untill you can play good guy in this one.

Since its optional what you make the girls do and its up to MC if they are allowed to have sex with someone other then MC its not NTR, there are maybe one scene that does push the line a bit with the an actor in the teater that you can have sex with and next day see her get fucked by two other dudes which is not something you have controle over like the girls.
So just keep in mind that you can run into such things in this game.

Game is a sandbox and it is to much of a grind for my taste, all girls has multiple stats that needs work, MC has a ton of stats as well and theres a big money grind which gets better later in game when club improves but that takes a long time, if you want to enjoy this one you will want to use cheats.

Girls 3/5
There are a pretty decent number of girls and a good diversity in builds, i just felt like quality of renders arent that best and most girls dident really do much for me personaly.

Animations 0/0
It does hurt the game that it dosent have animated H-scenes.

Music 3/5
Average background stuff that atleast changes every now and then but not much, so pretty standard stuff.

Choices 4/5
When it comes to choices with girls its really good, but it also has some scenes where you have no choices like the teater one.

Sandbox 1/5
Its simply just to big a grind for very little reward, almost unplayable without cheats untill you like using hours on just a grind.

Content 2/5
Progress is a bit slow but it is a one man avn that does this as a hobby so that explains alot, still dosent change the long wait for this get to get complete.

Its not a bad game but also not a great game so i landed on 3 stars/average.
