VN - Ren'Py - Clutch Time [v0.2] [Ionnis VN]

Clutch Time [v0.2]

Okay -ish porn game with okayish story, chill vibe, usual cliches and passable ~1.5D characters, nothing to write home about and nothing to be distraught over. Trauma tryharding/dumping can be cringe at times (like, "I'm 14 and this is deep" kind), but it doesn't bother me that much.
Turn off your brain and just go with the flow. Check it if you have time, it's not too bad. I'm not regretting reading it.

Story - 1-2,7/5. Eh. it's okay.
Characters - ~1.9/5. Average AVN chars, they do their job for a VN like this.
Models/animations - ~2.8/5. Pretty good and scenes are ~okay. HS2, ffs.
Grammar - 3/5. Good, whatever.
MC - eh, good enough.

For the most part it's meh so far. However, one major downside is that it follows a trend I've noticed on this site, which is trauma bombing. Now there's nothing wrong with trauma in a story itself, but with so much of what's going on in the story it kind of just throws it there at you and you're kind of left unimpressed by the story. In fact the more the other characters wanted me to take an action the more I found myself thinking fuck off and not wanting to cooperate with them and their decisions. We shall see how it addresses the story later on, but so far my reaction is that of meh.

Review for v0.2

It's a pretty inoffensive harem game where the girls are all over you and things come easy. Doesn't really do anything awful, doesn't do a lot that would surprise you either. If you're looking for something mindless with a lighthearted cute vibe and quick sex this seems alright for that.

From what I can gather it seems the MC was good at basketball when he was younger but somehow some nefarious origination was involved (betting I think) and his parents got killed(?) due to the MC messing up. It's only been teaser flashbacks, but essentially the MC has now been living with this foster family (?) for five years now and has an aversion to sports. A plot where you suspend belief if I have indeed guessed it right. The game doesn't really tell you much about it or how you came to live with this family to be fair. It just kind of throws you in.

There's very little in the way of actual basketball so far, and I have a feeling this is going to be another sports AVN that doesn't have much sports. Wouldn't mind being proved wrong though. Most of it is just random events with the family girls, lots of teasing, and then jumping to handjobs and blowjobs pretty quickly. The love interests are cute personality wise, but as you might guess nothing is very deep.

The translation gets a bit weird in spots, animations are alright, and the scenes are just fine. Some cute moments, some really cheesy almost cringe ones with the MCs flirting (mainly during that little family game they played). My real nitpick is that Darcy, the mom character, looks like just another school girl/sister. Not in a "wow she looks young for her age way" but literally her design just doesn't really work for the mom character imo. If you look at the title banner featuring the girls and didn't already know who it was, I'd bet you couldn't tell who the mom is supposed to be. Throws me off a little.

Admittedly I do like cute shit so I could see myself checking this out again one day, but I can't say it does enough to really draw me in that I'm itching for more.

Short review since 0.1 wasn't really that long.

Pretty good with lots of potential. I liked the girls although Darcy's face looks a bit weird in some frames, but besides that they're good. We also get a lot of choices even though it's still so early in development, which is always appreciated.

I love sports anime and wish this has some good scenes with the MC demolishing everyone on the court.

One thing that I've noticed being commented before and that I agree is that the MC's face looks very childish. The freckles look good on the girls but it looks a bit off on him, as well as the hair, so I hope he gets a haircut before his classes start.

The game felt very short to me; I hope it doesn't take too long to develop.
But the quality looks great, you have all my support!
I hope the next update focuses a bit more on the story, I feel like I've learned very little.

pretty good for ur first VN.

The graphics are decent, the flashback effects were pretty cool i wont give spoilers on what happened but I enjoyed it.

Really did feel too short I feel like you should have added more content maybe some basketball practice at least where he goes outisde at night and practices or something because it is a basketball game after all.

Not gonna complain about no sex scene in first update since It doesn't work for all games I understand that.

If your project earns u enough money it would be cool to see custom maps, clothing maybe and items.

the english was good but i feel like it was not very smooth at times.



I kinda disliked the intro I think everyone would rather see a hot girl explain the game to them than some guy with a goatee lol but thats not very important.

Also if nothing is entered as the name I suggest you give a default name for the player, u can google that code it will come up
