Ren'Py - Crossing the Lines [Day4.5] [Temptales Studio]

Really pretty art and interesting story. I like the choices you can make, and I hope stats will not totally decide the options you will have when the story progresses. I like the romance option, which contains the possibility of betrayal. So many fetishes can be included in the game with the freedom of avoidance. Promising start, hope the best for this project!

I really cool FMC 2d game with cute art. I love that there are multiple paths already and you can have several options. The fact that other characters are having sex with others just makes it more realistic in my opinion.

So far, so bad.

The good:
I really like the art style. Beautiful and unique.

The MC is nice. She looks good and the player has opportunities to shape her to their tastes. So far we couldn't see too much because it's an early version, but what there is is good.

So far the story is simple but enjoyable. Student moves in with her best friend, has to manage her work/studie/love life. Nothing ground breaking, but good nonetheless.

The bad: You play a female cuck.
All other characters (so far).
We have
- the party whore
- the two best friends fucking each other
- "Mother" fucking her "son"
- "Sister" leeching after old guys
- "Brother" that is the biggest arsehole yet
- Cuck "Father" who simps after his "Son"
Some of them are surely LIs, too early to say which ones. Both best friends are, so you already have unavoidable NTR in the game.
The other friend fucks every dick and pussy from the club you can work in, as long as they don't push for commitment.
Not interested in the guy you meet in the club, but since said party girl is instantly all over him, it's obvious where he ends.

At this point there is no point for me to play the game. I have zero interest in any relationship with any of those characters, and can't for the life of say why the author decided to ruin every single one of them. The most interesting character so far was the teacher, but she has very little content so far. And given the early revelations about everyone else, she's probably married and searches for a cleanup slave.

It is salvagable. Give the player actual interaction.
- Let them flirt with someone BEFORE they fuck half the city
- If we're in the flat with the best friends, let MC interrupt them BEFORE they fuck all night long.

V4.5
The stats are a plus, showing that it will have several routes, and having submission as one of the stats opens a door to female/male domination. The AVN, for now, is focusing on stealing other dudes from other girls or being a full-fledged lesbian. The FMC is an official step-something in her family, hard to patch that.

It's a really promising start. The art style is fun and different from most of the games being put out at the moment. A female protag who seems to have actual agency and isn't naive and swept up into corruption is refreshing too. It's also nice to see a game that has attractive male characters and isn't solely focused on making hot women and bland men.

0) Unpretty main character. Art should show more beautiful people than in life, not less.
1) Poor sound work. The sound of the phone in the game made me spill tea all over my dress.
You can't make that ugly, harsh, loud sound. It's also disgusting because it's almost
almost the only sound in the game.
2) Cowardly storytelling. Instead of a normal family, it's that foster parent cliché again,
to raise as much money for Patreon as possible. If I was interested in money,
I'd find something more profitable than making short stories.
3) Mediocre art. The art style is devoid of light and shadow and the correct laws
of color combination. Anatomical proportions don't always look natural. In the era of
DAZ and AI it looks like a sabotage against your own work. A deliberate degradation.
4) Vistagram? Probably the author thinks so highly of himself that he is sure that
NATO will send a DELTA SWAT team to bring him before an international tribunal for a crime
of nightmarish gravity: writing the word Instagram in a porn game. And for the production
pornography (!) won't even be prosecuted.
5) Compulsive lesbianism. The first exit from the house and already available option to choose - lesbian.
In real life, such a delicate relationship requires the most complicated etiquette. You can't just admit,
even to your best friend, that you're a lesbian. The author of this game must be a boy from a non-Western country.
and believes that if politicians promote LGBT, it's normal for ordinary people to be LGBT.
He would be quite surprised to find out how wrong it is.
6) Excessive mechanics. The author seems to think of women as some kind of robots that
have functions - depravity, lust, submissiveness - and these functions have a scale like an
an ancient barometer. This view of women is typical only of teenage boys.
7) The setting is realism, and that's great. Good thing it's not another stinking fantasy.
But that's about it. We don't see a woman's extraordinary fate, we see another typical college girl
with the same boring problems we've seen a thousand times before.

Very good start, good luck to the dev! There was a bit too much narration in the beginning, but it got better as it was day two and beyond. Scene composition could use some work (for example one night stand with a guy from the bar, having sex on the sofa - the entire scene looked a bit off). Hopefully as the game gets more traction and some donations, the author will invest more into the art assets. But so far great stuff! Looking forward for more.

Very promising game with a unique story that can lead to many outcomes, can't wait to see what the dev has us in the future and where the story will lead us into.
The main character is engaging and can be very interesting seeing her achieve her goals or be corrupted

A very good start. I really like 2D games, they have a soul that I find lacking in 3D games, which all look the same. And for once, it's not a manga style.
I feel a vibe of Eva Kiss' games, and I think it's the inspiration even if the game goes out of the track. I really like that even with just this beginning, which is quite short, there are a lot of choices and options.
Even just having different work, each with a storyline, seems great. I hope the content will expand.

I give it 5 to encourage development and I will revise it depending on what happens next.

Far from being bad, but there are some corrections that I think should be made: very little content, at the moment it is closer to being a VN than a standard game (this feeling will probably change with more content), the content that is available would be better if it had some different options, so far everything is very linear.
It is worth testing and I will revisit in the future to see if it has improved, it has potential.

A banging start to what I hope develops into a fabulous uninhibited adventure. Kudos to the dev! I admit I am partial towards fem MC games as there is something alluring about watching a woman voluntarily fall into corruption. This game has got a good start and I hope it keeps up the momentum.
