Here’s my first review ever of Come Home (Chapter 8) by R.J. Rhodes
Story [Grade B]
The main plot is decent enough and it’s about the MC coming home to discover the mysterious events surrounding his father’s disappearance. It’s hard to say at this point what satisfying conclusions the main story will provide. The only gripe I can say about the story is that the MC isn’t very interesting all by himself. However, it’s the 20 love interests that make this game exciting and carry the overall story in my opinion.
Playability [Grade A]
The main reason this VN is so much fun is that you can play at your own pace. No need to jump heavy into the main story if you don’t want to. There’s plenty of quality love routes to play through and explore. I like that there aren’t any consequences of dating multiple characters. And you can even get extra dialogue options if the girl you are on a date with is seen by other girls you know. The 7 day system makes it easy to hangout with the characters you want to at your own convenience.
Writing [Grade A]
I may not be completely in love with the main story line just yet, but there’s a lot to like from the writing in general. Each of the 20 love interests have a story of their own to tell and it’s written in a very easy to understand way. The dialogue you get from dates and phone conversations can tell you many things about a person including their likes, dislikes, main goals and motivations. I can’t really think of any other VN that the player can ask the characters what they are afraid of or what’s their biggest disappointment in life. Overall, you can tell the dev handles each character with care and nothing is rushed in the writing department.
Amount of Content [Grade A]
The amount of content here is plenty as it took me several days to play through it all. When it comes to sex there’s plenty of blowjobs, handjobs, and titjobs here. Most characters don’t have full sex scenes yet, but the animation quality of the scenes here are decent and pleasing to the eye. So even though this VN doesn’t have the highest quality of renders, what’s here is certainly above average to say the least. Also the look of the characters are made well enough to be unique and not be off-putting to the causal player.
Performance and Sound [Grade A]
I’ve played a ton of VNs and when it comes to performance many of them have bugs you just have to play around with. Fortunately this game is well polished and I didn’t encounter any game breaking bugs in my playthrough. The sound is decent for a game like this where the music tracks played match the setting and places the MC can go. As a person that usually likes to listen to his own music while playing a VN, I didn’t feel the need to do so as the song selection here is pretty solid.
In conclusion, I give Come Home 5 stars out of 5. There’s plenty of content to enjoy and I look forward to more.
