VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Corrupting Everwood [v1.5] [AJLee7385]

Bad writing, stock photos, confusing plot, just awful, awful music, and minimal player interaction. This game fails on almost every conceivable level and should not have seen the light of day. One suggestion: at the very least, stop using the term "transgender features" so much; half the audience thinks its vaguely transphobic and the other half has no clue what you're referring to.

Not great start! Story is too rushed not enough character development. Photos poorly executed. Story jumped way to fast and not impressed. Good concept just needs more work on current content and better quality moving forward.

Reviewing: Ver 1.0
Let's start with the positive... the creator let's you play as a Trans character if you want. So... inclusion is cool and all.

Now for the bad.

For a game that makes such use of images, the quality of those images is all over the place. Some are excellent, and others seem like they came of the internet of the 1990s. Cropping is all over the place, and pixilation is a problem.

The story is far too quick, we barely have a chance to understand one plot point, before something else happens and we have to adapt again. And here, the grammar is a major problem, never mind the spelling.

Ran into a game crash within the first 5 minutes of play.

I could barely make it 10 minutes, the music was cringe, the plot was all over the place. It felt like the creator took like 30 ideas, threw them in a blender and poured it out. Its just...not fun....

No story, just a complex maze if random ideas. As if author decuded to include as many tags as possible. Of course it did not turn out well. Errors, unfinished paths is the least of the problems. The main one is poor story telling, soap opera style, visuals not matching the text by meaning or repeating same visual many many times. Huge amount of dialogues with zero choices. As if he/she took a folder of random pictures and connected them with some text.

My advice to the author would be to start with something simple, polish it till it works good and then start adding more branches, episodes, etc. This is too complex both as ideas, visuals, writing, etc for a first release.
