VN - Ren'Py - Corrupted Hearts [v0.6 Part B] [Sinful Studios]

If you like schlocky spy thrillers I think you will enjoy this game. It follows a law enforcement team working undercover to infiltrate a shadowy company.

But the real drama comes from the relationships of the team members, which includes a married couple (the MCs), a female subordinate who has a crush on the husband, and a cocky new guy from the husband's past.

Watching these characters interact should keep you invested, even if the wider spy plot doesn't grab you. I particularly liked that the main characters don't follow the usual tropes. For example, the wife is a force to be reckoned with rather than the usual bimbo who gets corrupted. And the guy from the husband's past isn't just a dumb jock bully. There's a lot more going on beneath the surface.

On the downside, the plot can get bogged down with a lot of text. This can be a slog to get through. Also, the choices are pretty limited (around 15 total so far) but most of them are meaningful at least.

Short summary:


This is a terrible game, if you can call it that.

The story is a mess and the writing is bad. I have no idea how other reviewers could see this as a good story. Imagine a sweaty teenager trying to write a suspenseful thriller - that's the story here. Maybe because of inner thoughts spelled out?
Plus half of it is just long infodumps in blocks of text over the screen. Ever heard of "show don't tell"? Well, the "writer" thinks this means showing a page of the book on the screen. Renders are bad, sex scene is not good.



Good Things

• Struggling to find anything

Bad points

• Bad writing
• Low-quality renders
• Bad sex scene
• Infodumps in pure walls of text
• No choices
• Low-effort trash

This game is awesome, it is top 3 best game for me The story is best mc Not stupid like other game
In the future I hope Mc use condoms. At least it adds realism. It will definitely be fun.
I like clara with Harrison the best femdom
Thx for best game 100/100

[v0.35]

A rare western dev that truly understands the slow corruption netorare progression. I'm talking about real NTR, not netorase or cuckoldry which is much more common outside of Japan.

A lot of attention has been given to flesh out the character personalities, relationships, and motivations, as well as the main plot set up which will form the basis of the stressor that gives the wife a reason to go behind the male MC's back for 'his own protection.' There is also an obsessed tertiary protagonist whose role remains to be seen. She would most likely get her own NTR route, but it's within the realm of possibilites that she gets a good route with the MC, maybe. It just depends on how many branches the dev is prepared to write. The NTR routes will be the core, from what I've read about the dev statements.

There is a bit of repetition at the beginning as we cycle through the same conversation from the three different points of view at the beginning. After some feedback, the dev has adjusted the narrative style going forward, minimizing showing the same conversations from different POVs unless it's really necessary.

The renders are on the sparse side. The render to text ratio is quite low. That said, the models are hot and the writing is quite good. Don't get me wrong, as with most NTR, better communication between the leads would probably stop the whole thing from happening, but the dev does a better job than most in making their decisions plausible enough.

Just remember that this is a slow corruption NTR. It will take some time until things get really juicy.

The main idea in the story is not the professional activity of the characters, but a long-standing personal dislike! Leon is a smart guy who skillfully uses his official position to study the weaknesses of Clara and her husband in order to achieve his goal! The goal may be not only sex with Clara, but also something scary. Clara was reminded of the specifics of her work and forced to have intimate contacts with a nasty young and elderly character, and both caused her not only disgust, but also unhealthy excitement! As a result, Leon heard important information that Clara had not yet experienced an orgasm! So the first one who brings her to orgasm will get control. All feelings and experiences are shown on a very intimate and delicate level and it is fascinating! I wonder with whom and how this will happen? I am looking forward to the development of events...

V0.35

Any game that starts with a "game over" choice gets permanent -1 on my score list.
What is up with that lately?
"Oh, you picked a choice? SUCKER!"

Moving on, the good are 2 decently looking ladies.
The good is also that dev said choices will make difference later on.

The bad, unfortunately, is everything else.
Story is a mess. Big mess. Could sort of be excused, it's NTR after all, but it's just...presentation and introduction was one thing, then NTR has to happen and it happens for most cliched and stupid reasons.

There's boy with problems in sex life, girl that loves him, girl that's obsessed with him, someone that boy had issues with back in college...you know the drill.

Characters are acting in absolutely dumbest way possible to have story progress. Again, comes with NTR territory, but still makes me roll eyes while reading their reasoning for being idiots.

Few more choices were added in last update, and they do give slightly different dialogue. Will they eventually make routes different or have different outcomes? Remains to be seen.
I'll give it one more star if they do. For now, it's just promises.

No sex to talk about just yet, but game is barely few months old, so not a problem.

It can definitely be good, but needs a lot of polishing.

As a fan of NTR games, it will stay on my watch list.
And even if it burns, I've got opinion dev will get only better and better while working on this one, so next one will be great (assuming there is another one after this).

This game looks amazing so far and has a lot potential of beeing one of the few better ren'py 3DCG NTR games. The female main character looks absolutely hot and is a women with a strong personality (my favourite NTR target). I do hope there wont be too many different antagonists and the devs focus on no more then two or three different routes to keep the level of detail. This way they could flesh things out really well and show a great chrachter development and corruption progress. So far things do look really good - so keept it going and good luck!

Looks like a very good game.

The art is nice, the tension and eroticism is there, the plot is ok.

I hope the Dev carry on this route, despite the usual zealots of add-more-choices, etc..
The first part of the game is a proper good start, hope we can see more characters development and a better and sophisticated corruption.

The sex scenes hopefully will be long and well described and represented

UPDATE Corrupted Hearts [v0.6]
The dev went down to the route of million different choices that will make you lose half of the content.
Pro-choice zealots again pushed the dev to destroy a decent game, making losing plot credibility and waste a lot of dev effort in developing things that most of the audience will never see.... madness

A fascinating game that goes its own way. The plot is extremely suspenseful and seems to be cleverly thought out. I like the characters. A game of corruption that gets along with naturally beautiful people without physical oversize and without family ties!

The plot towers over the graphics! I'm sure there are better things here.

A game that will probably polarize and is certainly not for fans of simple messages. The plot is highly emotional and can get under your skin.

The music is harmonious, the lyrics have a harmonious tone of voice and are pleasant to read. From my point of view, this game deserves its 5 stars.

Always enjoyed the "secret agent" trope and MC sacrifices that might go with it.

I really liked it so far and im hoping for more choices down the way and whatever Clara will have to do, i hope there will be still this "resent" to what she has to be a part of, still feeling guilt for her actions and not being okay with everything very quickly.

I recommend it to people that like female protagonist corruption games, clara is pretty hot. although don't expect a lot of content as of now, game just got us introduced to the main story part that will be a main "dish" for the future.

You have unquestionably played this game before. The names might be slightly different, the models might be switched out with that one over there or maybe this one here but. You. Have. Played. This. Before,

Potency issues? Check
Meaningless choices (but dev says wont be kinetic)? Check
Dubious promises made in overview? Check
A bully that somehow bullied their way to right on your level? Check
Dick size only existing on either side of the spectrum? Check

Nobody should have to scrounge because they prefer one particular fetish over another, Readers you can do better this in every way a VN matters (renders, story, character interaction etc)

Out of 5:-
Renders: 3. It is nothing noteworthy but good enough. So, I gave it mid rating.
Story: 5. The story is fresh enough in the VN category and the Ren'py engine. The story has depth to it and seems to make sense. Good enough to be real and not look blatantly look unbelievable. The scene of 0.3 actually makes sense and looked perfectly written. Loved the scene if you know what I am talking about.
Corruption: 5. The corruption so far reminds me of A perfect marriage but the stage is setup in such a platform that it is easy for the writer to increase the range of corruption based on FMC's mission. The corruption for me makes sense and the range of corruption looks believable.
Dialogue: 4. The dialogue is not boring and if you read patiently can see how the reluctance is so far. The inner thoughts of the characters are fun to read. However, the huge texts with solid background can easily be improved with a cg of the thinker and in dialogue boxes which makes it much more easy to read.
Scenes: 4. Not animated so 4 but the scene for the "actions" are perfectly executed and the characters did exactly what you think they would do.

In short, fanfuckingtastic game. Love the premise, corruption and scenes. Along with all that if I am not wrong the time between each updates doesn't seem to be more than 1-2 months. Go on dev and best of luck. Finally, always remember to take the suggestions and constructive criticisms of the fans coz if you do we will also have your back.

Editing my review aftr 0.6B update

Game turned into a shit show. Cant stress how fucked this is. Seriously, first 4 updates are decent. Went down hill afterwards. Still somewhat bearable but fuck. Just see it for yourself.

From 4 stars now to 2. It is what it is

There is nothing to even evaluate here. This is not even an introduction, not a prologue, these are just opening movie credits to something. I would be ashamed to post this and call it a “version of the game”. It's like turning on the lights on a movie set and calling it an early cut of the film and releasing it.
However, this does not prevent the author from even asking for money for it by indicating his Patreon. In the reviews, people “admire” nothing , but I see only hopes and advances, and for some reason everyone thinks that the game will be exactly what he wants to see, and this is very funny.
At the end of 2023, there are very mediocre celluloid models from 2019, textures and renders, there are no animations of any kind, there are no sex scenes here, the locations are superficial and simple, no mechanics are laid down, and it’s difficult for me to understand the reason for the admiration of some participants other than hopes

It's nice to see new breath games in the market. For a very long time, the NTR genre was almost non-existent. Now the NTR genre should multiply. There were many in the old times. But in recent periods, it started to be non-existent. I hope your game continues. Because we need it.

pretty great start.
.
story is fabulous.
.
well written characters.
.
graphic design of female character are perfect.
.
update is pretty short but still it manages to get in my top 3 list.
.
hopefully the updates are regular and dev shouldn't loss the fire.
.

Really nice renders, I think both Clara and Anna are gorgeous. Their looks suit the roles given to them. Clara as your beautiful shapely wife, and Anna as the cute, innocent subordinate.

Will feel good to have the chance to see them both corrupted and lose them both. Or maybe just 1 of them and you get the other. I wonder if there will be a route for each.

Story wise, the written is good and the premise is unique and rarely used. V0.1 setups the story and mission. No choices or sex scenes yet, although I would prefer if MC gets to sleep with wife 1 time first to show the naked renders.

Still a solid 5/5 overall. Although my main concern for this game would be the slow burn coming too slow and audience lose interest overtime before things get steamy. Only time will tell.

Good start to this, I am a sucker for Undercover cuckoldery, though apart from a few erotic novels the genre doesn't seem to flourish , comics too are dearth, thought Garth Ennis' Jeniffer Blood might produce some thrills but to no avail.
Back to the game, it's well written, no sex, even alluded to as yet but the Dev is developing the MCs and their relationships to each other, there are 3 MCs atm if you wish to follow all the narratives, or just one if you want a little mystery in your NTR adventure.
Artwork is okay and there are no animations as yet. Overall a short but workman like start. Looking forward to seeing this one develop.
