Ren'Py - Completed - Confined with Goddesses [v1.0 Premium + Legacy] [ERONIVERSE]

Review for 0.2

A great blend of S&M content where the MC is acting as both a dom and a sub. And whilst I definitely prefer the S content since that's what I like, the M content doesn't bother me, I thank the dev for not putting any footjob scenes, I also enjoy pussy eating in various positions and don't mind being an M (as long as it doesn't go too far out of my comfort zone) for a girl as long as I can be the S too.

Anyways the fetish content is great as it's powered by the wonderful art and animation, yeah this game is properly animated and deserves the tag 100% unlike some other games. I would personally like to see more girls get inducted into the harem, but making that work into the plot that the dev has crafted, would be difficult. So I thought of a scenario, Isabella and Berry are friends now and they both like dominating innocent boys, why not team them up against MC ?

I know that the review is kind of all over the place, but we have enough structural reviews where people just copy and paste a formula over and over and I didn't want to do that, even though I know the dev won't read this since he already has like 50 reviews.

But I wanted to say that whilst I'm enjoying the plot as a filler, it makes sense that the MC has some M tendencies due to the prologue, how some of the girls treated him and how his GF treats him before the main game begins, what's the explanation for his S tendencies ? He never displays them in the prologue, he first develops them when going through either Emma's or Valerie's route, I guess I just would have expected something to happen for him to get those tendencies, I mean technically his time spent training with Sarena could have caused him to become more confident as her confidence (and more ) rubbed on him....and it's not even that big a issue even though I wrote like a whole paragraph, I might have even answered my own question.

The gameplay isn't too grindy and money collection is easy peasy, a thing that would ruin the game would be if the saves become incompatible, hopefully that doesn't happen since I already grinded ahead for future updates.

Amazing art, great scenes, clear objectives, this game is shaping up pretty nicely. Unlike most renpy games where you have take a lot of time trying to figure out how to progress. This game tells you what you need to do clearly. I had no problems progressing through the story. Animations are really well done too. Looking forward to more from this dev.

This game desperately needs the "Male Domination" tag added to it, since HALF of the love interests are "girl who is mean to you, so you have to put them in their place". The other two love interests are super sweet lovey doms.

Game would have had a more diverse set of interactions if you let one of the mean girls dom you, and you dommed one of the nice girls. (Not to mention more up my alley.)

Anyway, despite my disappointment, the game is still very good. Art is great and features animations.

Writing is pretty good, though it's definitely off in a few areas.

The game unfortunately is *completely* devoid of choice outside of who do you want to go after first. Seriously, not even meaningless dialogue options. Let alone anything meaningful. The game asks if you're going to cheat on your GF. It also answers it, you will, you have no choice in that regard, you have no choice in any regard.

Anyway, despite the things I disliked about the game, it was honestly pretty good. I believe my review is extra harsh because of how close the game is to great for me.

I hope the Dev goes back and adds more choice, as well as more choice going forward, but I wouldn't count on it.

Update: The new art 3d art isn't bad but, how best to describe... maybe 25% of the new 3d art is better than the old 2d art (the teachers tits in the new start of day scene are niiiiiiice), about 25% is close enough, an about 50% of it is just plain worse. The game also still tends to have game ending or forced exit to main menu bugs every other release or so. Despite the dev now making a fair amount off it. I'll leave it at a 4, it's still got so much goodness it's above average, but not sure I see it ever being 5 now.

Amazing custom drawn art, regular enough updates, the game plays well, it's rapidly become one of the rising stars of adult games to donate towards, it's a locked in solid 4 with more potential to... hehe, cum.
What keeps this from 5 stars?
It's got no actual full sex and that could be a while still. When this occurs, it will probably-highly likely-almost assuredly be 5 star but, can't really give a 5th star to a game that hasn't let me go all the way down the adult game rabbit hole by, well, letting me go down the various female characters holes.
The other issue, and it's minor, while there is a gallery, I'm unclear if it tracks everything. Raising one of the women's levels opens up all new stuff to do with them across the house but, I was left a little less clear by the in game guide what all I could do. Hate to think I'm missing something. I wish the game had perhaps some minor way to track what side scenes I can get after leveling them, so I can be sure to not miss anything before they level up again and it changes again.

This game wouldn't normally be on my radar. Its not even my kink. But I wanted something that could be played on android and...
Wow. Quality work bro.
Great artwork. Fantastic animation. And the writing isn't absolutely cringe.
Overall, I approve, and not for nothin but I rarely comment or rate

Review Version 0.1.8.1 (Pro's are marked + and Con's marked -)

Story/Writing/Characters:
+ Most of the scenario's are written very well
+ Most of the H-Content in particular is written in a manner that is very enjoyable for the reader
+ Widely free of grammatical and spelling errors
+ Characters are all decently well developed
- The plot is absurd and in a way that just feels like a BS excuse to get all the girls together with you in one home.
- "Odd" grammatical/spelling errors like the repeated use of "photograph" when the context clearly indicates you mean "photographer"

Audio:
+ Solid sound effects
+ Voice acting!
- Its not full-on voice acting, just occasional words and moans (better than nothing, and definitely improves scenes, but not what i was expecting when i read "voiced")
- Music was meh, i muted it and played my own music, kept the rest of the sound on though

Art/H-Content:
+ All of the girls look great! and Personally, i think the art style is very nice
+ Animated H-Content, and they are high quality animations at that!
+ A surprising amount of content (definitely a lot more than i thought considering the file size)
- All girls have basically the exact same body type

Notes/Suggestions:
> It'd be nice if their was an option to say no when Zoe asked you out, I'd prefer not to date her hahaha (it really doesn't seem like it would heavily impact the story at this point)
> Not sure why this isn't tagged with "cheating", but it definitely should be because literally every character is cheating

I'd highly recommend this game, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Confined with Goddesses (0.2.4 version) doesn't take itself too seriously and at first that seems fresh and interesting but then it starts losing such interest. The story plays with the coronavirus pandemic with a small twist and from then on builds a gameplay loop in which you use the different time frames to do different activities with girls, like it happens in other games. This means there are no choices to make actually, as every quest advances when you follow the instructions of the next step and complete the requisites.

Drawings are surprisingly good to be honest, and same goes with the animations. Music is a tad meh, but it's nice to hear some voice acting for the girls, even if so far they mostly just say a few words sometimes.

So, all in all, can't say it's a great game, but in my eyes, as the game progresses it has already lost the 4 star rating I first gave it and is going down to 3. And if the direction keeps like this, with so little interaction and a senseless story (and I don't think that'll change) it will probably drop to 2.

Amazing fun. The Plot is absurd, but the character and interactions make up for it quite well. The Art is also fantastic, and just on the edge of believable fantasy without getting absurd. The MC is likable, and the way the story develops is a lot of fun. Great game, looking forward to further progress in content

This game certainly deserves its high rating. The art and animation is better than the vast majority of VN's out there, and personally it fits my preference of hilariously large-breasted women.

The writing is not great, however it gets the job done. But the main factor that makes the mediocre writing bearable is the fact that this game is paced perfectly. It doesn't take forever to encounter a sex scene, but it also isn't just non-stop sex slideshow - many games struggle with this balance. But remember that preference for pacing isn't the same for everyone.

The main reason this isn't a 5-star rating for me is that it's still pretty early in development. There's enough content here to enjoy playing it in its current state, but I expect that it won't be finished for a while. This game has been almost a year in development and there still isn't a real penetration scene, so just keep that in mind. I know that good games take time to make, and I'm necessarily criticizing the developer; I'm just saying there isn't a ton of content yet.

In summary: absolutely phenomenal art and animation, sub-par writing, perfect pacing, and not much content will land this one at 4/5 stars for me. I hope the dev keeps up the good work!

Excellent game.

Very simple and efficient scenario, good looking characters, Stud MC, good graphisms and animations. The development is smooth and you don't need 100 hours of gameplay and thousands of lines of dialogue to have your first porn scene. Gameplay is simple and in-game hints are plenty enough to sort things out (no need of walkthrough).And you don't have to make choices between female characters which is a huge plus for me.

This game has great potential in my opinion. Love the art style and characters. Plot is kind of funny, "government send robots from movie Oblivion to ensure you stay at home because of pandemic (COVID?)" . Hope there will be more corruption of these sluts, group orgys and even knock up option in future.

Very fun and easy experience. Art sound animations are all very good quality. Writing could use a touch up but nothing that i couldnt outright understand .
Each character is their own archetype and it feeds well into the narrative. Each time a progression point is earcned it unlocks longer scenes in the smaller repeatable events. Very intuitive to show growth in all activities not just the main story. Cast is small so animations , small details can be refined and better explored

Highly Recommend

ver. 0.1.8.1
Hands down, by far the best 2d game on here. Writing incredible, Artwork Incredible, Sound effects & music Incredible, Coding incredible.

I have played this when it was first released and now again with this version.
I was hesitant seeing how much work gose into the artwork that i suspected little to no extra content.
However, i was surpriseingly wrong. Dont get me wrong, you wont be playing for hours, but for the amount of scences drawn, you will have enough.

Not really much more i can say about it, i hope the Dev keeps at this pace and quaility.
I usually only give games on here 5 stars to balance out unfair reviews, but this is defintely a 5 star game at the current projection.

TL;DR: Must play!

OVERALL 9/10: it's fantastic. it does a lot really well and doesn't have any drastic mistakes overall

VISUALS 9/10: there's some inconsistency that is "for the course" of amateur work but it's not too extreme. it always looks pretty good but you can tell there is some inconsistency. some scenes look fantastic. others look good but different. i think this is something that'll improve as the artist continues to draw but it is there. i think even in the prologue the game looked more on the amateurish side but by the time of the main story, a lot of the scenes look like the artist starting to gear into a stride that i imagine the rest of the game (and hopefully in whatever game they do next) will be improved on both in terms of quality and consistency but it's already good and ultimately, is it sexy? does it look good? yes. (the designs really help with this too). i'd also like to point out for anyone who might look at the sceenshots and think "this doesn't that good. it's deceptively better than it looks. it kinda seems like maybe the artist doesn't really check how their stuff looks from far away but up close it really shines. something the artist does that adds a lot to the effect that some 2d games don't do, is there's actually a render layer that brings out dimension. and the important part is that the artist seems to really understand anatomy and where to shade. i would like to see maybe in future games or even future releases of confined with goddesses, the render layer be a touch more dramatic, like really bring out the 3dimensionality of their work (i think it being more on the subtle side is why it kinda looks like amateurish shading zoomed out). it could be the artist doesn't really feel so confident yet in their decisions of where to shade and so that's why it's not so dramatic but it looks damn good. i think with time, this'll naturally come about too, especially if it's something the artist keeps in mind.
-Design 9.5/10 - love the designs of the girls, the dick also looks erotic and large without being ridiculous or distracting (in a bad/fake way)
-Animation 8.5/10 - it's quite good.
-VFX/fluids 7/10 - the cum/sex juices do some things right distinctly from other games like having a coated appearance on the dick. but there's also a more dramatic inconsistency of the fluids from different scenes. in some scenes the cum/sex fluids/etc. look pretty good, in others they look pretty bad but never really that great (or absolutely garbage). the scenes where it looks pretty bad it just looks like it primarily makes the same mistake most other games do which is it doesn't look like the artist is just winging it completely from their head and not looking at any reference images while doing it. this is something where i think the artist could definitely use more attention/practice on because it is an important part of erotic content and i think they can if they just observe reference images/videos of ejaculations/creampies/etc. they clearly have the talent for it when it comes to drawing and rendering the forms/anatomy and unlike 3d, i think in 2d the skill for drawing forms/anatomy translates much better to doing appearances of fluids.

AUDIO 8/10: music is a nice touch. nothing special but nothing distracting and it adds to the experience. some inconsistency with some scenes not having any music at all but overall, even at its current state, it's good. adds to the experience.
-Voices 8.5/10: the voice acting is good overall. they feel like they match the characters and they all sound attractive. sometimes it feels a little awkwardly-amateurishly acted but i mean it's not like the standard is high among erotic games. maybe it'd benefit from pushing it in a more stylized character voices directions though since the game itself isn't exactly going for realistic but immersion is still key either way. at the end of the day, is it attractive? does it match the characters? yes. is it so "acted" it feels as fake as a bad porn? no.

STORY 8/10: really like the premise. initially in the prologue, the game felt a bit like a generic porno and not very erotic but once the main story started, i think the premise did a really good job of feeling more like a sex fantasy than a generic porno.
-Scene Ideas 9/10: these are pretty good and pretty creative. they're both effective and have a lot of ideas that aren't so cliche. they definitely make for excellent content.
-Characters 8/10: they each feel distinct and have pretty clear appeals. love the teacher and red hair girl. black haired girl and purple hair woman's story are surprisingly pretty good too.
-Pacing 7.5/10: i had some concerns about pacing in the prologue but once the actual main story started, i think the pacing has been quite good so far. so over all, pretty good pacing.
-Dialogue 6/10: the character dynamics are good and the english is good enough/understandable, but the specific dialogue just doesn't feel that great. it does have some errors especially towards the more recent releases but it doesn't have huge mistakes. it's not like it's especially bloated or anything like that. it just feels okay and it gets the job done in the important scenes.

OTHER NOTES: i would've liked to have seen the crunches scene with the kind strong girl be animated where you have POV of her chest. the other little thing that really kinda stuck out to me which is a lot easier to change is when you see the teacher's breasts in the massage scene, her left breast looks like it has kind of a corner or like there's something in her breast that makes a lump. i think it's just where 2 lines of the drawing met but with breasts i think it's pretty important to get the outline curve smoothed out when it comes to something like that because it's going to be more noticeable than most places.

anyway, it's really worth the play and it's really better than it looks. i think i read somewhere the artist expressing how they're just starting or something like trying to get better which is promising because it's already really effective but it's good the artist isn't complacent. i think the best creators in anything are the ones that are always eager to find how to get better especially when they're already making really good stuff. eager to see future updates, and future games too!


REVIEW OF LATEST UPDATE: kinda short but really good quality overall. it seems like visually, it's improving like i thought it might so that's really promising. there was one frame where berry is jerking off the MC before the blowjob that looked kinda off but it kinda seems like the artist is trying to challenge themselves into doing different angles/poses which i highly encourage because even though it's not really up to quality, if they do get to the point where they can do any angle with the quality of the good scenes, i think this game (and future games) are really going to be fantastic. a lot of the little things have improved from past releases and consistency is also getting better too. i also like the berry being kinda "yandere". i think it's a pretty hot personality fetish when done well. so far it seems like an okay take on yandere, nothing really super erotic but not mediocre either. looking forward to the other characters too and really like that each character has a distinct personality eroticism to them.

I usually can't stand sandbox-style games but this one does so well at everything else that... well it's just amazing.

The protag looks great, is interesting, and has shown growth both physically and mentally.

The main women are all 10/10's appearance-wise and have distinct personalities. They're all amazing... wish more VN's had women that looked this good. Well... except Zoe. Fuck that bitch(Not literally). She's a trash tier and will be dumped ASAP in my playthrough.

It's still early in development so content is pretty limited adult scene-wise... but the stuff that is there is top-notch. No penetrative stuff yet... but there is multiple hot high-quality HJ, BJ, TJ animations.

I definitely recommend this game. This has the potential to be one of the best games on this site if it's able to update consistently and maintain this level of quality.

The story is absurd, and a couple of the characters are really unlikeable, but the art is fantastic, and the rest of the characters are very endearing. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the art and animation in particular, and look forward to seeing much more in the future

Actually fun writing with funny quips here and there, it's got a good sense of self-awareness/meta humour. I think it's also the first of these kinda games I've come across where the mc actually puts on some muscle after working out lol

A pleasant game, entirely deserving of 5 stars. As long as development continues, I can see this becoming one of the best games on the site. There are some minor issues, such as an occasional feeling of not knowing what to do to progress, but these issues aren't dealbreakers and could likely be ironed out in later updates.

A funny and hot game. Nice art and animations. It's great how each female character has their own personality and MC manage differently with each one. And a great, transparent dev who honors his word and delivery regular content. Deserve a try. And support, if possible

EARLY, BUT PROMISING

Art is consistent & great
Characters act with defined personality (there was care put into this)

Still early state but im giving 5 stars, because youve knocked almost everything else out of the park.
