VN - Ren'Py - Corporate Culture [v0.6] [sqwl]

One of the best Visual Novels I've had the pleasure of playing.

Every VN tries to have some kind of hook in their synopsis to pull in audience but the banality of Corporate Culture's synopsis intrigued me. And I'm glad that I decided to give it a chance.

The MC of the story feels way too real, like a reflection of me. I'm currently in the position the MC is at in the beginning of this VN - stuck in a status quo with no movement or motivation. The fact that the creator managed to express this so well in this work is a testament to his skill.

And the motivation and obsession of the MC feels real too. I've known several people who mistook obsession for motivation and destroyed their lives, and the creator calls attention to it.
The visuals and dialogues are also very good.

And man, I would give anything for an assertive woman like Elsa to take control of my life.

Corporate Culture v0.4

I stopped watching this VN because I felt I needed to express my admiration for Crazygamer43 and their surprisingly magnificent project. Why surprising? The word surprise is generally over-used, an almost banal term these days; but that is not the case with Corporate Culture.

Firstly it has made me laugh, a lot. CC delivers visual and narrative one-liners in unexpected ways... surprising. The writing is imaginative and the dialogue incredibly impactful in so many ways... surprising. The settings and renders are well constructed and beautifully realised, making it one of the stand out Ren'Py works on this forum... again, surprising.

I am struggling to find the words adequate to describe my reaction to the bar scene when the MC and Tommy go out for the night... no spoilers BUT...

I would have already given CC a 5 star rating without there being the "bar/pub night" scene, but it blew me away. I love emotionally-driven stories and Crazygamer43 has produced something exceptional and compelling, but also unique and wonderfully twisted. Hmmm, well, very fucking surprising.

So 5/5 and my heartfelt appreciation for the characters, the story, the dialogue, the renders, and that simply magical bar scene. Thank you.

A story about MC trying to be chad. The story kinda remind me of one of my favourite adult manhwa A Wonderfull New World, there are some similiarities like MC an office worker trying to change his life being a chad in his corp because of a woman and planning something to his milf superior.

Some people said it have boring dialogue, but for me I really like the dialogue and a lot of close up face shot, love it. I hope it will have blackmailing in the future update, it'll be interesting if you can blackmailing MC superior.

Game started slow but quickly turned into one where I did not use the skip scene button. Great dialogue, strong characters and development. Excited to see where it goes. MC has a lot more depth than most games and really progresses.

Really great game. One of the very few western style 3d vns on here that have a unique plot-line with actual character development. Also, the renders are above average too. Just wished it were updated more frequently

[v0.4]

A refreshing game that has an actually well crafted story and characters with depth. If you are only looking for some game to stroke your ego with girls throwing themselves at the MC with little to no thought, this will probably not appeal to you. If you want stories where the MC is a super chad or some Mr. Nice guy with some women living their lives entirely in his orbit, this might not be the game for you. If you want a game with a flawed MC that is trying to take his life by the reins and grow as a character with some help from a mysterious friend, you are in the right place.

The game has really convincing characters. Everyone you interact with has quite a bit of depth. No one is some flat caricature that can't live without the MC. They feel real.

The writing is extremely competent. The banter doesn't seem forced. The humor is subtle yet effective. The heavier themes are handled quite well. You see real growth in the MC already. You don't get bogged down with useless chatter.

The main subject of MC's desires is this unreachable girl that seems so far above his league. That is the main driving point for the MC's motivations and the story as a whole. What kind of person will he become when he finally achieves his dream? What type of relationships would he form with various people along the way? Would it even be worth it? Would she be everything he's made her out to be in his mind when he gets to know her?

The visuals are spot on. Great renders. Great models that really fit their character. Lucy is portrayed as the "easier" conquest and her model reflects this. She isn't a 10/10 bombshell, but looks like a "normal" woman for DAZ. Alice, the one that MC dreams about is a total hottie with a nice rich girl vibe. Elsa, the mysterious friend that is helping us has the cold and commanding look that fits her personality. Proportions are on the realistic side. Plus, we have people with actual wardrobes. We have some good clothing that looks like there was some effort put into fixing the dreaded boob sockets we see all the time. The camera angles and lighting is great. I can't complain about anything on the visual side.

Last but not least, this game has some amazing sex scenes. It's very well crafted with hot build up and spicy context to the scenes. Most of the scenes are with just one of the "easier" character so far, but what we can see is that the dev absolutely knows how to create a fappable scene.

Scimming through the latest reviews, it seems clear that this game will not appeal to certain people. Those who are looking for a feel good harem or dating sim type of deal with a "likeable" MC might not enjoy this story. If you are willing to dive into a more mature story, I don't think you will be disappointed.

PROS

+ The models and the graphics in general are pretty good
+ The writing is incredibly well done, it has funny moments, dramatic moments, all of them managed masterfully.
+ The music is great and is used perfectly to craft beautiful scenes.

CONS
- If you care more about fapping than reading a cool story this game will disappoint you, because it doesn't have too much sexual content yet.


It's been a while since I found a game I wanted to support on Patreon as this one, the story is amazing, and I really want to see were it goes, overall an amazing experience and I encourage everybody to give it a shot.

This is honestly a really good game. I wouldn't say this game is one of those you look for in a quick fap, this game has an actual good story so you probably shouldn't go in looking for one.

And if I could just throw money at the creator, I would do just that. Everyone should try this game.

I love it
The renders are good and the story is interesting
Dialogues are well done and characters are compelling
Really rooting for this one
Hope is going to get some more attention and love
Give it a try

Enjoyed playing this game. Slow burn game. You can understand story from the title.
Don't think MC is a sore loser, he just lost at a stage of his life and became a loser. But you can see an interesting character development. If you are looking for more lewd part this is not the game for you. You will only get lewd part with one girl other than that you won't even get to see other girls naked.

PROS

* GOOD RENDERS
* WRITING IS NOT BAD
* GOOD MODELS

A very good story and decent graphics... The character models look good (the MC looks purposefully tried and sad though in my opinion)... The characters are interesting and make sense not being stereotypical horny fucks all the time... The story is deep and seems meaningful... The MC is interesting not because he fucks every thing he sees but because the character seems to be well thought... All in all a good game... Would recommend to all...

This one is a slow burn with very little H scenes, and no animations. It's mostly an exploration into a person's mind.

This a decent introspection on the concept of an individual who was betrayed and then disconnected from his ego.

The very emotions this person feels is definitely something that happens to people.

Yet, there is an underlying issue to what's going on.

He's building his ego for someone else. The very foundation what this person is doing is a grave mistake, and it's 90% of the story so far.

Given how early this game is in development, it's hard to say where it's going to go.

Regardless of that, the few characters with decent screen time feel believable. I would say that Elsa is a strange one, but her motivations and who she is something she keeps under guard.

The remaining friend is just someone who wants to have a good time.

Leaving the MC as someone who's constantly assessing a situation, almost never actually being completely part of anything.

This game has potential in exploring what relationships actually are beyond some the fragile egotistical need to control the flow of everything.

And it very well could go the other route where being aggressive gets you everything, despite how crude that would be.

It has the potential to be either pretty interesting, or dreadfully cynical.

Great and intriguing Storytelling of a well thought out plot line and not just some random office dating sim. All the characters have unique and ejoyable personalities and there is enogh time given for realtionship developement to feel genuine. I can't wait for more.

It's an amazing game! I love the psychology, the slow but believable development, and the gradual change of character of MC. Not to mention that the girls are beautiful and unique, and top notch renders.
There is a lot of text but not a lot of lewd stuff yet, so it's not for the ones wanting a quick fap. But if you want some real story, and characters that you can put feeling on, then I think you should give this game a try.

The author is very skilled and intelligent.

He has great attention to detail and finds delightfully subtle ways to present the characters.

Although in many cases it would be hypocritical, the MC would be considered a complete loser by the vast majority of people in society. Despite the comments and reviews, a lot of people here can likely relate to him all too well, as uncomfortable as that is since the author doesn't hold back too much when it comes to the ugly emotions like vanity, bitterness, jealousy, self-loathing and desperation that the MC has difficulties concealing.

The story is shown from his perspective, and there is a gloomy, depressing atmosphere, with sprinkles of humor and joy that come from simple human interaction.

The characters are definitely interesting and mostly believable (at the very least, they all think and behave in a logical manner). The scenes are interesting enough, and usually believable. For the scenes that struggle to suspend the reader's disbelief the author usually tries to incorporate humor with relative success. The story is paced well and coherent. The dialogue is good.

If you ever wanted to embody an Incel then this is the game for you, otherwise save yourself the time and move on.

The MC is a pathetic nobody who can barely string a sentence together around women until he meets his pedastal woman, who after saying a total of perhaps 7 words to, decides she is the one and will turn his life around for her. Constantly spouting crap about how 'she might be off dating, kissing, maybe even fucking some other man' while he works on himself. He is right up there with the least likeable MC's on the site.

The most unbelievable part of the writing is that anybody else would give him the time of day. He actively tells his newly found female companion about his grand plans to make this millionaire heiress fall for him despite having absolutely nothing going for him and god knows why she tries to help him instead of telling him what a fucked up little creeper he is for half the things he says.

There simply isn't anything redeeming to find in this game for me, the only reason I gave it a 2 star instead of 1 is that the renders are reasonably well done and the creator has put some effot into curating the experience with proper music cues.

It's not a broken game, the writing itself isn't poorly done it simply has terrible subject matter and believability of the narrative, there is virutally no action to be found, the girls are fairly plain with your run of the mill blondes with supermodel bodies.
There is nothing of value to be found that isn't already in massive supply here so save yourself the time and play something where you won't despise inhabiting the MC.

If I had to describe this game in 3 words, they would: Depressing (intentionally), boring and slow (in terms of action, or lack thereof). Most of the game consist of the player reading MC's thoughts, which are pretty one dimensional. At times, it seems like instead of playing a lewd game I'm watching a psycological thriller that has an unhappy beginning, middle and probably an unhappy ending. The game feels like going through motions, and choice matters very little - MC does things that seems really dumb from the get go and you (at least I) don't want him to do.

" Corporate Culture " has a very interesting Story... when I play the " Corporate Culture " It just makes me wonder how deeply I lost myself in the main character's ideology...It really feels like each of the characters has a mind of their own with a conscience on how to act with the main character ...Those renders express the realistic behavior of every character(also very smooth & beautiful)...really hope that this development will continue.......

I love this game. It's just the 0.4 update had so little content for the time that it took (around 6 months!) that I can't put more than 1 star. The story is beautiful, and the renders are nice, and I was so excited for this update and my expectations were very high and then I get this... not even 10 mins gameplay after 6 months.

I like that the story is set in the UK, first time encountering that in a lewd game. Anyway, the plot is about a depressed middle-class white guy seeing the light when he simultaneously meets two rich white girls.

I guess if you're a young white dude currently suffering from depression (and a lot of em are these days), you might be interested. But it deals with that subject very poorly. The setting up of the protag's depression is unrealistic for one thing. "The PC had a great life, but his gf cheating on him with his best friend fucked it all up."

Which brings me to the other big fault of the depression narrative here. PC gets out of depression through this Manichaean shift from the shitty gf & best friend to a pair of new mommies girlfriends who are just kinda awesome on every conceivable level and unaccountably give two shits about him. And PC himself transforms into a completely different person.

People recover from depression when they reach out to people they already know, break bad habits and find meaningful stuff to do while learning to live with the same constraints and losses which were causing the depression.

Don't improve yourself for a fairy tale, it won't work. Do it for the people who care about you right now, or the ones who might care if you weren't taking life advice from social media influencers and "alpha motivation" youtube vids. In other words do it for the kind of people who'd be right beside you on the road to recovery, and not the pristine goddess you imagine awaits you at the end of it.

This is a porno so it's not like any of this matters, but the story is 95% of the content so it probably needed to be said. Unless you're only here for the h-scenes (like me!), in which case I'd say the 3 I saw were decent and if (unlike me) you're not a sucker for animations then wth, go for it.
