Ren'Py - Club Detention [v0.088] [Yorma86]

It would be a positive review, but the update progress is way too slow and I'm assuming this will never actually be completed or be in a state that is even somewhat worthwhile. At the pace this is going? It's not happening in a single lifetime. Several years worth of updates provided almost no actual content. This is insane to me, considering they get ~$2k per month for this on Patreon.

Sure, you can manage your club, only most girls don't actually have any scenes yet, or only generic ones that don't go anywhere. The few scenes that are there still mostly focus on early corruption. At the pace this is going, you'll have to wait a few more years to see anything.

Sometimes the club log tells you that one of your girls actually did something with a "customer", but you don't get to see it. Same with using your girls as protection payment: the text implies something happened, but the scenes don't actually exist.

The quality of what is actually implemented is good (though the few quests that are there basically need a walkthrough to complete), but it's just not worth your time yet. Comparing the current build to what was there a year ago is pretty sad - it's almost the same game.

Overall: a waste of time, unless something drastic happens and the updates suddenly add heaps of content. Maybe try in a few years? But seriously: throwing money at it seems like a complete waste. The dev doesn't seem to want to put the necessary time and work into the project.

Perfect concept with a good implementation. You can tell the dev took a lot of time figuring out the game mechanics, most of the time on point. (just some elements, for example two of the main girls storylines - the jennifer trial and anna ghost thing - feel a bit random)
The stat system works perfectly with the game and the hostess club (I was sceptical) is becoming better and better.

This game creates a nice immersive school/college atmosphere and is a 10/10 recommendation if you fw the fetishes/genre. I will be back for more.

Progression feels like a chore. Was able to get a peak at the gallery and have to say it is a bit disappointing. Great models but not many great scenes at the moment.

I might peek again in another year if updates are still happening.

Excellent game with a great variety of girls and scenes. I love the selection of lingerie and clothes in general, even tho some of the girls may have a little bit odd designs and proportions, overall excellent.

Great story progression and much to be discovered. I could say much more of the things I like, but I'll just leave it at EXCELLENT! for my tastes

Highly recommended and looking forward to updates.

The premise of this game has a lot of potential! It separates itself from other school setting games, while keeping a similar basis. I love the setting and I'm very curious to see where the final release is headed. Also: The investigation and court room sequence is *chef's kiss*. The humor is great and I have seldom laughed that much in a game on this site!

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
