Ren'Py - Abandoned - Corrupted World [v0.2.0] [Keny]

Playing through this game feels like going through a revolving door. A new girl appears, a quick event, unlock scene, move on...

The story isn't particularly original and although there are many characters, all are quite generic and none of them feels properly developed.

I really love the setting and the characters even if that is quite common an nothing unique. The content is massive, did not expect this for the version number.
As already mentioned there is massive grind involved, fortunately there is no time limit and the mini games can also be skipped in a second try. Still might be a good idea to reduce the bar and the grind.
Would be a clear 5 star if there weren't quite a lot of bugs and some more clear hints. For example there are events missing in the gallery that I clearly remember and that are also shown in the stats (photo of older sister). I started a new game with the current v0.2.0 so that should not be a continuity problem as I have seen all too often.

Grindy. Not much progression for a good deal of effort. Played about 2 hours, most progression I got was a BJ. Models are OK. Seems this one is suffering from dispersion of effort. It'd be nice if the dev put some time into one NPC instead of marginal improvements across the board.

Right now, I don't feel like a kid with erotic magical powers, I feel like a kid stuck in a rut.

Very uneven game.
Models are varied, but in general not that pretty.
Some characters progress by simple interaction with them/with minimal requirements. You'll quickly unlock new scenes with them and advance the story. Their corruption is gradual and there is no overnight transformation into a broken slut.

And then there're those that have statchecks. Two stats can be raised by 1 point per day and you can raise int by 2-3 if you use all actions of the day on it. And the threshold for several characters is "raise your grades to 7", which is achieved by grinding your int to *70*. 20+ in-game days of clicking on the same options over and over. And then one of the characters doesn't even register condition clearing, while others have 1-2 scenes.

All in all - meeeeh.

Game version: 0.1.7

It all started quite well.
The story is boring/ nothing new, though. (family of 3: mother and 2 daughters; 1 is young and friendly, the other one is older and a btch- this formula has been used too many times already..)
The MC is generic and boring, too. At least he's not stupid (thank God for that!),
The animation quality is mediocre, the standard quality of the engine/ set.

The worst part of the game and the reason I stopped playing it was the change from a pure VN to a free-roam kind of game. Like always, there are too many places, there is too much grind and too little help for progression.

All in all, it is another generic game with nothing special to catch my attention long enough. Pass.

version 0.1.6
non patreon version

it is a decent game but what killed it for me was the grind and the lack of content in general. finished the game in a couple hours. story feels rushed and the navigation feels clumsy but can be tolerated. too many side character that have no interactions. It is also pretty buggy at the end of the game i couldn't access mia profile page as it would display an error. one of the characters profile page didn't appear until after most of the scenes became accessible.

If i had the patreon version or if there were no bugs and less grind it would easily go to a 4 star.

Has potential with decent characters, animations, etc., but depends too much on grind, which really gets worse and worse as the game goes on, to the detriment of the plot and everything else.

There's not much else to say, except that the grind needs to be reduced severely, and if I have to attempt something multiple times, the dialogue needs to be distinct each time, so I know I'm doing what I am supposed to, instead of repeating the same mistakes.

Never thought I would give a game 2 stars. Here goes: all the paths are locked and you can't seem to complete a single one of them. They are entangled with each other like hell and you need to complete all of them together one step at a time. But you need energy for all of them and guess what there's never enough energy. Have played my fair share of sandbox and no doubt this is the worst of them all. Dev please at least remove the ridiculous energy requirement.

I like the game. Characters are good looking and it has a lot of sex scenes.

Some people maybe do not like the sandbox or griendier aspects of the game. But overall it is a good game.

Content is regularely added.

This review is done on jan.22 2022, version 0.1.3. The game is interesting, an improvement upon "Corruption" by Mr.C . I would recommend this game, the progress tracking of this game is the highlight. The game is better designed so you could revisit old scenes, unlike "Corruption".

Honestly, this game is kind of lacking in almost all aspects compared to others here in f95.
Pros:
- Good art, most girls are really cute.
Cons:
- Story isn't really captivating (although it's something comom on this genre);
- Dialogs are poor, feel rushed;
- Camera changes every single time a character speaks, anoying;
- The grinding, omg... it's really hard to think of a more frustrating sandbox game... to farm stats point by point (inteligence goes to 100), farm money, and the worst: the club's renovation. It takes weeks where you probably will have nothing more to do than replay scenes and farm money because there is still very little content... And when you finish a room, you can't start the other right away, because a brief conversation takes 4 hours and the contractor is only avaliable during mornings.....

Overalll, it's a frustrating game without a amazing story or sex scenes to motivate. I think 2/5 is completely fair.
Perhaps 3/5 for those who sponsor it on patreon and get cheats, to avoid some of the grinding

Disclaimer! I have only played the provided game, version 0.1.3 and not the patreon vesion so i can't say anything about the experience playing that version.

To start with my playing experience has been riddled with frustration. It feels like there is a lot of cut or unfinished content. Almost all of the "minor" or random characters have one repeatable line with either a "I have nothing to say" or "I might get high enough stats to do something later here". The problem, to me, lies in the fact that some actions wich the MC refers to doing to being able to progress/interact with them is either impossible or unlocked at a much later time than the character is encountered. It doesn't tell wich. So off you go grinding stats, wich still might not give you anything. This is the annoying/bad.
Otherwise is a fairly standard affair. You get powers, complications arise from said powers, you solve said problem with said powers.
Renders/animations are decent, spread of personalities are good. The in game walkthrough seems to work (most of the time) and is split between major events and character events.
So in conclusion, if you can get over the fact that some of the events are locked behind a (presumed) paywall and the standard sandbox ordeal this game might be for you! If you don't i would not recomend it as the frustration of seeing the things (presumably) locked away will destroy all enjoyment you'll get from it.

Great game with sandbox features. Lately the story has been poor on many games here, but this one has a great story line. Also, the animations are amongst the best on here!

II was a little disappointed that the friend that is introduced in the beginning doesn't go anywhere but am excited for future content!

nice game , nice art, i love horney select game but if you are not patreon then you just play a half of game
so much content but if you want to unlock to play you much be the patreon
this so suck

Needless to say this is a review so there will be spoilers so if you haven't played up to v0.1.0 and/or don't want to read spoilers leave now.

Ok so here goes. In a nutshell this is AVERAGE. 3/5 stars. Nothing bad, nothing great. The MC looks like he just got shat out of a Japanese psycho thriller and takes some getting used to. I keep thinking he looks like he could be straight up the MC of FFXV with his emo outfit and moody hair. The game mechanics are lame, it has all the looks and feel of a first attempt at putting together a game and it shows. If you are going to do a sandbox, you have to keep the girl routes separate so that there are no inconsistencies where you get scenes with one before you have "unlocked" it.

Art: typical HS2. nothing great, but still pretty and pleasing to the eye. Some of the models don't really feel like they "fit" as far as some sport tattoos when they are the typical "pure" girl, others are "bad girls" but they suck... lolipops??

Story: Great idea where its going, if not a little basic. Nothing was overly interesting, nor was it too boring. the sex scenes feel very forced, I don't really feel like any of the girls are really into the mc, they just fuck because all of a sudden they feel horny and they don't know why, which leaves them vulnerable to the darker side of the porn game genres. At the moment the MC has obtained a "club" (a high school student owning/managing a club, yeah nothing strange about that at all), what could possibly go wrong? I hope the dev treads lightly here, the minute my girls start stripping/prostituting I am gone.

Would like to see some more main story advance, perhaps meet the queen that wants our MC and his "succubus" dead, or exploring her world and gradually corrupting key figures against her. But at the moment it seems the dev has his hands full just with the handful of chars the game already has.

for a 0.1.0 version, im impressed with the content.

my BIGGEST complaint for the game so far is that the way in which you progress with certain plot points are conflicting and/or lead to non-existant "dead ends," by which you'll do the thing to progress, but it wont budge. the way to get past that is to basically go around and do anything that hasnt been actively done.

Beyond that, it feels grindy in spots, but is really well done story-wise. Nothing feels forced, the animations are smooth, and the models are pleasing to the eyes.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one... it shows promise!

Very good animations
Story is good (if comparing to other h games, veery good)
Every character has her personality well-made
Choices don't change much but good enough
Gameplay good enough
10/10, if you can try, try it, I highly recommend it

[v0.0.9]

This comes off as an incredibly lazy product. Not saying the dev is lazy or anything, but the game is just incredibly basic in all aspects with nothing to make it stand out.

First of all, I understand that it's very hard to make male characters on HS or something, but come on. The MC is just the exact default HS2 character that we see in all the low effort games. The best friend is the same exact model with a slightly smoother hair and different eye color. The dad that we see for a brief second is also the same fucking model with a beard.

Females look good, but that's just the byproduct of HS models being almost impossible mess up. It's basically a potato quality HS2 without any touch up or post processing.

The characters are the exact caricatures we've seen a thousand times. The deluded perv MC who immediately pervs out on all the family. The big titty mom. The bitchy older sis that hates the MC. The cute younger sis that likes the MC. The shy female childhood friend who is in love with the MC. The horny fucker of a best friend. The "succubus" character that gives you horny powers.

After a brief intro, comes the shitty sandbox that makes the weak story telling even worse. You go to school and talk to people who have nothing to say and have no interactions. You study in class to raise intellect or something, but it seems to be random. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down. but it's always capped at a certain amount and the girls that require intellect to proceed always tells me it's not enough.

The only other place that does anything is the part time job. Here is the stupid grind where you have to slowly use the horny powers and advance through the "corruption" steps. There is almost no thought put into the progression and the payoff is basically a generic default HS animation that we've seen in all the games like this.

Add in the Engrish and we got ourselves a massive waste of time. Inceest + male dom + mind control is like one of my favorite combinations, so it's not like I didn't give this a chance.

I wanted to give it 5 stars from the beggining cause the approach it makes, with the animations and stuff was ver interesting, and we should reward people who goes a step forward.
But this game has an issue with sex scenes, they feel kind of ridiculous most of the time, or the text and the image is out of sync, or one scene where the MC says: "your panties are getting wetter" when he is fingering the girl and panties were moved to the side.

There are a couple of confusing scenes or out of place, like after visiting Bonnies room, and scenes ends abrutly and you wake up in your own room, and you dont know if what happened was a dream or what.

Or during the last event with the elder sister when she returns the keys, and you makeout with all the girls, inclusing the mom, even if you havent achieved that stage with her yet.

It needs time to fix all this stuff, and add more events,some of them are half baked, otheres seem disconnected. Its s decent game but still in the oven.

Really solid experience, not too many 0.8s have this much content. Excited to find out where this one goes!

Models are some of the best ive seen out of honey select, e.g the onewhite haired girl at the shop (forget her name).
