Ren'Py - Completed - Complex Society [v1.00.1c] [AbrokenA]

this game is absolute ass to play and i lost my patience after an hour of 0 lewds
you are constantly tasked with meaningless chores
you can't leave school once you get there
its very hard to find where to go
when you go anywhere EXITS are in different places to wherre they should be
Arrows pointing directions are semi-transparent and you can't change it
some of the places dont have arrows so you just need to know that you can or can't go there

i don't like it and i don't recommend it
i had to check walkthru after each and every small step to correct area

So, I tried out Complex Society and honestly, it was better than I expected. It’s an adult visual novel with a mix of romance, drama, and some pretty well-done lewd scenes. Dev tried to make it less grindy as much as he can as compare to when he started.
The lewd content is actually pretty good. Scenes are well-drawn, and there’s a decent variety. It doesn’t feel forced or out of place like some other VNs where you just click through to get to the H-scenes. It builds up naturally, making it more satisfying.

This is actually a surprisingly nice little harem story, it's main issue being that it never surpasses being just "nice". But if you are here looking for harems with not an asshole protagonist, this is definitely a game worth experiencing.

Essentially the story is a pure slice of life situation, there is no real main plot and never will be, if you are fine with not having any central narrative thread, it's a pretty good time. Writing also suffers from some bloat issues and repeating stuff that kinda get on your nerves, but there is geniune care and passion behind it and it shows. There is an issue of an abrupt ending but i will get to it later.

All 5 love interests are very much fine and adorable in their own way, however there are some weird missed opportunities like Cadence, modelling agency woman and others. I understand that focus was on main 5, but there are no secondary love interests here.

Adult content is kind of an issue since it's a mostly very slow burn, and there is a very small amount of scenes for each girl, moreso with 3 out of 5 you have penetration only by the ending, which is kind of wild for this type of game, definitely wasn't a fan of this approach.

The biggest detractor from enjoying the game, however, was an overall mess left by the developer. There are entire locations and rooms that are never used even once, money is pointless since you use it only several times in the game, entire gaming scene and a whole giant pile of gaming stats do absolutely nothing so why are they here is a mystery, some things just get dropped and never get explained or resolved, there are some instances where developer simply just inject himself to explain something and it's very jarring, and the game overall leaves you with a feeling that you are playing something unfinished and very rough around the edges. And i wish it didn't detract so much but a lot of mechanics and places are so pointless it distracts from the good parts.

And the cherry on top was an extremely rushed and sudden ending, and while epilogue does a satisfying job at concluding the story, it felt like there should be so much more of the game and it just cuts to black with "the end" pretty much.

All that said, if you are looking for a very simple but generally nice harem story this is very much a nice read. It unlikely will become your favorite or you will remember it for a long time fondly, but it is nice to experience despite all it's flaws.

Graphics are bad, MC literally looks like a girl, writing is terrible. Dialogue is a waste of time reading, characters are forgettable, and there's no development before getting to the good stuff, making it completely boring.

For the dev's first game, it was pretty decent. The major turnoff was the default koikatsu which felt incredibly plain and simple. The plot is also a bit decent since it adds a twist to the typical "mc wants to fuck everyone in his house and town" but it felt weird with the je- I mean secret society which controls everything. A unique concept but the execution could be better. The ending also felt a bit rushed. The dialogue was very plot-dense, which seemed like filler for the lack of other content. Also, there aren't any sandbox sex scenes, just ones related to the story. But it is a good start for the dev. I wish him luck in his next endeavor.

Excellent, I really liked it, a lot of love and passion. The plot is good and interesting. I really liked the characters, some made me think about how Lucille was (Lucille is a cute pervert, one might even say completely, but very beloved)))) but anything can happen in life, and even more so in a game))) But I liked absolutely all the girls, they all have its own story. There are also cool arts, some even perverted and crazy).
There is only one minus: There is quite a lot of action before the real sex scenes, and it’s a shame that after finally collecting the harem after one scene, it’s already the end of the game))) I would like more scenes with them.

First and foremost. Holy MOTHER with the text. It's not that it's bad, but it is bothersome.

It tries to have a good story, and I did enjoyed it, but it was far too much text for a single conversation. The serious ones were understandable, but then, every conversation is as lengthy, or just a little less.

It feels like a lot of content was left out, for at least 2 reasons. Either because everyone knows money works, and fearing your patreons leaving because of ONE character not being vanilla as fuck as originally intended, or another perhaps (teacher). Or because of simply burning out. The ending is axed, you just fuck everyone once and done, ready to go. It has less content than 1 gb games of similar design I've played, that's a bit sad.

Still, I do think this was worth it. It's just... so much without content. There's nothing wrong with a girl being so slutty, with the real definition coming to play, as long as you can just avoid it and that vanilla story is good. I rather enjoy vanilla, but this case, it's my first time feeling like too much content was lost because of it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this game, so much so, that for 10 days I did not even play anything else. Inspite its negatives.

Negatives

• The writing quality isn't that good (grammar, duplicate words, etc.)
• Sometimes scenes don't really connect properly to one another
• Which later on, extends to outfit changes too, for some scenes
• There are certain scenes, where the writing feels off, possibly due to the story being writen from an incest angle first
• Some backgrounds can feel really empty. However, they never felt off to me.
• In some angles, the waifus' proportions can seem weird, or pretty extreme
• Money is effectively useless in this game, after roughly 2 or 3 scenes
• Helping the neighbor and not charging him, doesn't trigger any extra scenes
• Some characters have less content than others, one is even missing a date event, with the statement, that it's not available in this version...
• Not really good music selection, nor variety

Some of these and others are mentioned in the intro, which I highly recommend checking out, in order to adjust your expectations.
Also... the "voiced" tag, is probably just about the moans in the H scenes..

Positives

• Characters and waifus
• Waifu scenes and their writing (content)
• H scenes' animations with multiple angles
• Lovely Koikatsu models
• Developer notes

In conclusion
Where this game shined for me, was the writing (content) and the characters themselves. Especially the sweet waifu scenes, their writing and how some of them moved things forward. However, I liked the repeating ones as well.

All in all, if you like the Koikatsu models and the overall look and premise of the game, I can recommend it. However, read the intro, it helps with adjusting expectations.

It has the potential to be a great game but I think that in the process they had to force an ending before abandoning it, only the scenes with Luciel were done thoroughly. The rest is forced and "incomplete". I really became disappointed as it progressed but I have respect for the creator for at least finishing it. as other games end up abandoned or they make a remake for slow the progres.

When I first started Complex Society, I thought I was going to hate it. The artstyle is certainly an acquired taste and some characters look silly even in the context of the style (*cough* Jenkins *cough*), but the game really makes a poor first impression with it's navigation scheme. There's something about the main character's house and school that feels labyrinthian at first, since all you have to guide you are yellow arrow icons and the camera angles between locations aren't always consistent with your previous orientation.

But when I gave it more of a chance, I found a lot to love in this slow-burn taboo story. Sure, I didn't like that a well-funded clandestine operation was introduced to support something no well-funded clandestine operation would ever touch, but it didn't have as much bearing as I was afraid it would on the relationships that develop in the MC's household.

That said, the further I got into Complex Society, the more another problem stuck out. The dialogue can be downright superfluous at times. It's not bad and often quite believable, but characters speak in such roundabout ways that there were scenes where I skipped ten lines of dialogue and didn't feel like I missed a single relevant point.

Overall though, it's a charming story with wholesome moments and a main character who doesn't come across as a manipulative sociopath. which is hard to find in these games.

Personally - I cannot handle the jank. I might have played every eurojank out there, but this one has bested me. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but some triggers and logic sequences are so confusing, and situations are just plainout weird. I know the dev already apologizes for some of it in the intro, but goddamn. I broke the game on the first 5 minutes by just exploring the house. It has pretty good scenes but the game I find to be just too janky.

Love the Fernet reference! Maybe dev is one of us but who knows.

The game had much more content planned and was abandoned to its rushed/wholly unsatisfying ending, I do not recommend this game to others in its iteration of 1.00.1b, and I recommend taking in stride that this is incomplete writing before picking this up

Was more heartwarming and wholesome than expected. Was totally worth the 7 hours to play the story in one go. The sories about helping the girls are things i would really try to do (sans the extra H of course) and the way it can wrap up at the end if you do it right it awsome. Always good to see a 'happily ever after in these stories

This game was successfully completed which I feel like is a win for the developer.

Now, the reason for 3 stars is that while the game isn't bad, it also isn't particularly unique (in terms of gameplay/story), hot, pretty or fun, but it also isn't bad.

Pros:
- The storyline wasn't bad.
- Character models (while proportions are wrong) look unique compared to other games on this site.
- The sex scenes do have a few animations and do look decent.

Cons:
- The amount of content is minimal in terms of sex scenes for each character. It felt like each woman had like 3-4 scenes at most.
- The story and its ending was abrupt, didn't make that much sense, and all of the characters could've used a lot more relationship building.
- The proportions of the models don't make too much sense.
- The sex scenes felt kinda rudimentary, could've used a bit more love and postions.
- If the story is that story-driven and you need to do the stories in a specific order then there was no point in the open-world for this game. You are working for the same ending and you constantly have a "To proceed with this character, please progress X's story".

Otherwise it's a pretty decent game, could've used more time in the cooker, but the content that it has makes it in the "average" range for me. Though a completed game's average and an uncompleted game's average are different, so a game staying as average once it's completed is a honest praise I can give.

3/5 stars.

The scenes are good and the history of the game is new and refreshing, however the game "choices" are a joke, this game gives you the illusion of a choice, the choices are pretty much useless they don't change the story, it only grants an extra scene or picture.

Also the tutorial is pretty useless, you almost never have to check for such small items on the map/place.

This game is frustratingly bland. The writer has some good ideas and seems interested in exploring different sorts of relationships, but it just never really comes together and suddenly nosedives right into what I call "stupid porno logic." As an example, for the vast majority of the game, the MC is not your stereotypical magic-dick-haver that every woman on the planet is immediately attracted to. Until the end, where he suddenly becomes one. For the vast majority of the game, your love interests struggle at least somewhat with breaking taboos. Until the end, where they just all throw themselves on MC's cock over and over again. Also, why make a sandbox game where you don't really have any choices of where to go or what to do? This is a visual novel in a sandbox costume.

The fact that this review reads kind of harsh but I gave it 4 stars is a testament to how good this game almost was, or how good it could have been, if the dev hadn't lost interest and wrapped everything up with such an ill-fitting ending.

Great game, 4/5 stars for me.

Beautiful graphics, beautiful girls, fun dialogue.

The reason I didn’t give it 5/5 is that the ending felt… rushed. I was honestly expecting many more updates before completion, and was very surprised when I saw the finished tag. There were side characters left out, some quests left unfinished, and the ending, while fleshed out, had so much potential to be fleshed out throughout the game.

All-in-all, it was a fun ride for the dev’s first game, but I definitely feel like there was so much more potential here.

Pretty standard harem animu sandbox game... it plays straightforwardly enough, although it seems like the dev just kinda stopped developing at some point and decided to just wrap everything up a harem end that's sorta out of nowhere. Not very satisfying but it beats abandoning the game, I guess.

Top 5 favorite games on my list, the characters are the best, and I'm just starting the game, the story is also very good and the protagonist is one of the best in this type of game.

UPDATE: It's a shame it didn't end the way you'd expect, but it's still a good game.

Complex Society is a harem VN about the incestuous love a boy has for his mother and sister and the secret Illuminati-like society dedicated to seeing it come to fruition.

It's exactly as absurd as it sounds, but the incest Illuminati doesn't cause any problems for the story. The real problems spring from the massive incel energy that the main character channels and its abrupt ending.

The incel bit isn't immediately apparent, but it really shows itself as the story progresses. The main character's defining characteristic is that he's a nice guy. He's 22 and going to school, but doesn't appear to have anything in mind for the future as far as a college major or job prospects go. His focus is on competitive video gaming, but frankly that content could have been cut from the story for as much focus as it receives. He never actually pursues any of the love interests, allowing dumb luck, the Complex Society, or the girls themselves to bring them closer.

A lot of this is typical harem protagonist style shit, but it's the nice guy thing that's glaringly brutal. The main character's plan to romance the love interests appears to be simply be close by while the love interests live out their lives and hope they realize how nice a guy he is. Fortunately for him, four out of the five love interests in the story were used by men and discarded in some form or fashion, so they're apparently vulnerable to this plan. We're frequently shown their internal monologues and it's frankly nauseating the way they harp about how nice he is when they're not sex drunk from his multi-orgasmic dick.

Speaking of that multi-orgasmic dick, the story ends It's brutally abrupt, absurd, and solves all the story's remaining problems with the subtly of a sawed-off shotgun.

While I might loathe the main character, the love interests are decent outside of their terrible taste in men. You've got the mom with intense mommy energy, the sister who's a huge bro-con, the slutty(?) best friend of the sis, the lonely teacher who can't get a man to save her life, and the classmate with a dark past. As seen in the images, they're all titty monsters, which is a little boring but acceptable. Their stories might actually be pretty good if they didn't all share the same note of "look at this beautiful woman misused by terrible men just waiting for a nice guy to save them."

The gameplay consists of a time-management scaffold where you scene hunt through a linear story. There's the set up for a lot of focus on the professional gaming scene the main character is involved in, but outside of a single scene for the teacher's story, it appears to have been completely cut. Don't bother grinding your stats once you win the local tournament. Also, pick a high-tier character because popularity doesn't matter. I think you need like $300 to complete the entire game's content.

Overall, Complex Society is a mess. There were a handful of scenes I enjoyed throughout the game, but they mostly involved the side characters, as big mommy energy does next to nothing for me and received a lot of focus. I like Koikatsu models, but I can't recommend this game to anyone save the most dedicated incest fanatics.
