VN - Ren'Py - College of Mysteria [v0.61] [HappySteveGames]

[Review about v0.61]
Cindy: The best wingman.

Surprisingly good for an AI-cg game. The consistency was better than I was expecting. The plot, if a bit silly at times, was interesting enough for me to want to know what comes next.

That being said, I think a line should be drawn between the netori and netorase/swinging content/route. I went through all choices in the game (though there's not much netorase content yet) and it's not very clear which direction the game wanna go. It's all a bit mixed up and it doesn't feel natural.
You simple don't go from being a dominant, possessive man one moment, then in the other, you make your girl go topless in front of dozens of strangers during a night party.

And that comes to the point of: Unsolicited netorase. During the normal (netori) route, that little dorm punishment "tease" crossed the line a bit. In this scenario, Cindy is basically shared regardless of you having entered the netorase route or not. In a way.

And that ties to the next point: Cindy's... "wildness". I really like her character, but she goes from 0 to 100 too fast. You have to decide if she's this faithful childhood friend who waited patiently for you to make a move without ever entertaining the thought of any other man or if she's a little slut who's ready to jump on any dick as long as you give the go ahead. Cindy was none too eager to suck the dorm master's dick to get rid of the punishment.

On another topic: Exploration. There's not a lot and when there is, you only get one choice. I'm a believer of "only one choice equals no choice". Not to mention that half way in the game, they just cease to exist. So I'd just get rid of all those moments where you have to click on the map to go to places and make it all VN-like for a smoother experience.

Overall, objectively speaking, there's quite a lot to fix until this game is in a good place. So I'm giving it a 2/5.
Personally, though, it was quite enjoyable. So my subjective rating is a 3.5/5.

It was nice seeing the result of all the training the MC and Cindy had by the end of the current update and I'm hoping we get more of this "action" as well in future updates.

I'm not really sure why this game is so highly rated. The 4.5 star rating is the only reason I tried it and I was disappointed right away.

The MC is a moron. There's no nice way to put it. He's an imbecile. I know he's supposed to be a simple farmer and a peasant that's illiterate, but just because someone doesn't have a proper education doesn't automatically make them an abject idiot like this MC is. He's so clueless that apparently his hot childhood friend is a nympho and he wasn't aware of it. Now that they got their ticket out of town, she sheds her facade of innocence and goes full blown slut overnight? That's pretty unrealistic and hard to believe. Then, she's supposedly still a virgin? Really?

Women just throwing themselves at the MC when he's dirty and wearing filthy clothes is also unbelievable. Again, being poor doesn't equate to being unclean. Netori is only fun when you have to work for it. Having married women throw themselves at the MC simply for H scene's sake is not only unrealistic but it makes the gameplay boring. There's no sense of accomplishment if, as a player, we are rewarded with little effort or choice.

The inconsistencies of the LIs was also a disappointment with the tutor chick gaining forty pounds of curves in some of the scenes. I know it's AI, but there has to be a little more effort to be consistent, especially with the appearances of the LIs.

The story seems to be building up to something big but unfortunately I found myself becoming bored with Cindy trying to serve every female in the game to me on a silver platter and with the MC being an idiot.

The models were hot (it's AI) yet one of the things I don't like about AI is the characters tend to look the same, especially the females. Put dark hair, red eyes and make her skin more pale and Cindy suddenly looks a lot like the Mistress Vampire. Not the Dev's fault of course, it's just something that always sticks out to me. I do appreciate the Dev having a variety of body shapes. The fact that every female isn't ridiculously curved and endowed with massive tits is a plus for me.

Maybe I'm being unfair with my criticisms. I don't want to discourage the Dev from continuing to work on this game at all. I just want to voice my opinions on problems that I believe need to be addressed now in early development before they wind up ruining a potentially great game down the road. I will watch the progression with hopes of improvement. Fingers crossed. I believe in you, Dev!

Very well done cant wait for more. Will keep checking in hope we don't have to wait very long between updates. Wish there more more animated scenes but so far so good guess could be something more for future.

0.6

I've really been enjoying this one. I think the art is nice. The scenarios are hot. The story is ok.

I think my only issue is lack of choice. There aren't that many choices and MC is required to bang every girl. What if I don't find that girl attractive? Or just don't like her personality. Dev really dropped the ball on this part.

Other than that, it's a pretty sexy game.

Ugh, one of my biggest pet peeves is in this game─lazy editing. It's not hard to capitalize letters at the beginning of sentences. The way this is presented, with missing capital letters every few lines, reminds me of a smiling drunkard with missing teeth. There are a few grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues as well. Those I can forgive, assuming the Dev's first language isn't English. But even non-English speakers still know how to capitalize the beginning of sentences. I also find it truly ironic that the two main characters are illiterate and are being taught to read and write. Pro tip─run the dialogue through a spell check. It's free.

On the plus side, I love the imagery and art style. I'm an artist, but unlike many, I don't mind AI art if it's presented well and has a good consistency. Although there is one bedroom scene that contains a desk lamp and a cell phone on a stand charger. Things that shouldn't exist in a medieval/magical fantasy setting.

I find the story to be compelling enough to retain my interest. It's piqued my curiosity to the point I want to see where it ends up going. I love NTS/NTR and look forward to seeing where that's going as well. So, I'll give this 4/5 stars for now.

It's a very straightforward AI-slop, quite competent and, If you do not mind the general style, pretty for this category. The main selling point is Netori content, but the narrative is so bare-bones, that it hardly feels like a Netori game. It is not so fun to fuck formulas instead of somewhat believable characters.

As of 0.5, there is enough content for a quick fap or two. I think you can try it out if screenshots do not turn your off and kinks are to your liking.

No hate to the developer. He knows what he's doing.

Brooo what a find, what a gem being hide behind the poor main menu (lmao, I hope we can have an update on that xD).

Absolutely outstanding! I just rushed the game rn, I was lured by the story and the immersion kicked in. Talking about being immersed, the +18 content is presented to us with perfect timing.

Clearly signs of a good game, art, writing, story telling, timing, immersion.

Keep up dev! ♥

(I'll make a longer review as I'm used to when the game is more developed)

3/4/25 Editing my previous lengthy review. An early five stars downgraded to two stars. Writing is getting worse. Art's getting worse. The game's no longer funny. The game's no longer sexy. Animations were both few and shitty from the beginning and still are. It was very clear from the beginning that neither NTR nor NTS would be required. Now they're both required. MC started out a sharp guy. Now he's the dumbest jackass in multiple universes. Everything's getting worse. Don't bother playing. This game is trash.

Its so good already but it has so much potential with the NTR route in the future, also the art is consistent.

If you are a fan of NTS you will love this.

I really hope to see more updates soon, this is really good.

The good:

1. Multiple paths that you can choose with different girls. The flexibility is nice and being able to avoid certain scenes is also a nice touch.
2. Game gets regular updates.
3. Developer seem nice and listens to the community.

The bad:

1. Too many AI Art inconsistencies. I do see an improvement as the game grows, so I hope the developer keeps it up.
2. The story or plot is a bit all over the place.
3. The "naughty" scenes or "sex" scenes are way too short.

Overall: Decent game with potential. Definitely needs some more time to cook. I will revisit in the future!

Cindy is so hoott!!!

The scenes that take place behind closed doors with her are incredibly exciting and intriguing! I think this is the first time I've seen these kinds of scenes implemented so effectively in a game. These are definitely my favourite parts of the game! Congrats to the developer for that.

Overall the story and the cg is really great and consistent.

I'm sure this will compete with other very popular ai cg games at some point.

and

I hope we will see many more scenes with NTR content including Cindy.

You are doing a really good job, dev. I hope you keep it up!

Gosh, that's what I was looking for! The game itself is very entertaining, has beautiful models, and has an interesting history that made me excited for more. It was definitely a great start!
Keep up the good work!

A really interesting game! But it looks solid! The plot is ready, and the girls have been introduced to us.

Speaking of girls... They're super hot, with interesting dynamics between them. The renderers are on par with the best in this game genre. All in all, it's just a very addictive game that I'll be watching closely.

TL;DR = interesting porn game. It can be summed up with "a guy starts dating crazy nympho girl".

Story: 3/5
Pros:
+ You follow Main Character who has recently started dating crazy sex starved nympho girlfriend. She enjoy any sort of depravity and doesnt have any shame. She will push MC so they explore depths of depravity together.
+ There is also this whole plot backstory of magic and fighting against forces of evil. It is interesting and gives the game some plot. But this plot is mostly background and game clearly focuses on sex primarily.
Cons:
- Sadly plot isnt very deep. There are some inconsistencies in story. Moments that dont make much sense. They feel like they have been added only because they are porn tropes or story tropes.

Art: 5/5
Pros:
+ Renders are good. Renders are much better than other AI games.
+ Girls are hot.
+ Sex scenes are hot.
+ You can encounter sexy scenes often in this game.
+ You can go full depravity NTR or just lighter "cuck-queen" route.
Cons:
- This is AI art and it has some downsides. But downsides are pretty minor (like when faces of different girls look similar ... or when there are inconsistencies in body types).

Gameplay and rest: 4/5
Pros:
+ This is typical VN with choices.
+ Choices have some impact on the gameplay. They will influence what scenes you will see.
+ English is decent.
+ Game has soundtrack. Nothing extraordinary but it gives the game nice ambience.
+ Game has sex sounds.
Cons:
- Current version of the game isnt very long.

To sum it up:
This is ambitious game early in development.
If you want a game that mostly focuses on sex and you dont mind lack of deep plot, then it is good idea to follow this game's development.

Would be really good, if it wasnt for all the extra sausage in the game. I don't like Swinging and Sharing, but thats just my personal tastes and in no way reflects on the quality of the game.

Graphics are good, AI generated of course, but fairly consistent. Models are nice with a nice range of body types and hair, although facial shapes are mostly identical with only slight variations in eyebrow type.

Personalities are just.. meh. Girlfriend is your childhood friend who for some reason wants to experiment with other guys and loves helping you "conquer" other women. And lots of other guys there are, with more showing up all the time.

I would suggest to the dev a switch at the beginning of the game or in the options menu that allows you to turn off swinging, and netori, or any other content that some players might not like.

Otherwise great game.

Finally, Ai cg game that stands out!

Really liked the plot, characters and dialogues. Maybe the only thing that looks strange is that MC quickly turns from shy and unaware guy into some alpha-sigma male, but it's fine to me. Art is good, not so much of artifacts and characters are looking hot.

I am glad that we have an Ai NTR game with some kind of original and interesting plot, and not another copy of the first Ai ntr game on this website, which we have seen like in 10 games already.
Good luck, dev!

Dang!

For once an AI CG game that isn't your cookie cutter interracial cucking crapfest.

The change in MC from oblivious to deviously horny from the p[rologue to chapter 1 was pretty jarring but other than that it's been a blast.

Phenomenal start Cindy is such an excellent heroine and the netori focus is refreshing. A lot of fun potential with this one. I would perhaps suggest a hard ntr filter if you do make that content so both anti ntr pro netori and the ntr fans can be happy if doable.

This NSFW game blends captivating netori storytelling with stunning AI-generated art, creating an immersive and titillating experience. The narrative dives into the complexities of seduction, betrayal, and forbidden desires, keeping players engaged through its well-written dialogue and evolving relationships.

The AI art is a standout feature, presenting breathtakingly detailed characters and settings. Each scene feels dynamic and visually appealing, enhancing the overall immersion. However, some players may find that the AI-generated style occasionally lacks consistency in finer details.

The gameplay mechanics are straightforward but effective, prioritizing the story and character development over complex systems. While the game delivers an engaging experience, adding more branching paths could improve replayability.

Overall, this game is a must-try for fans of netori themes and erotic visual novels. It’s a bold mix of provocative storytelling and cutting-edge visuals, even if there’s room for polish.

Looking great, not much content yet but I'm already loving what's here. There are already too few 'good' Netori on this site. It doesn't even have a tag of its own and it's painful sifting through netorare just for the sliver of a chance you'd find netori. Most of the cg has been consistent so far too.

The writing is good and the story well paced.


Aside from that, best of luck to the dev since you'll be fighting an uphill battle with using AI cg. I know some people have some aversion to that. I'm personally don't mind as long as the scenes are well written and the story makes sense . Keep it up, you're doing great.
