VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Dating Joyce: a Deckbuilding Game [v2025-02-07] [Omshinwa18]

The gameplay was different for me from all other renpy games. I played this because of the female domination tag and the male domination part to the last wasn't something I was expecting. Still liked the ending and enjoyed it overall.

Another diamond in the rough kind of game, what starts off as a seemingly basic dating story turns into something way more wild by the end. Even though there's only 1 character in the story, she gets all the love with pretty good scenes. The artwork is nice too, nothing I can complain about.

Once you get the hang of it, the deckbuilding aspect is fun too. There's two different aspects of the deckbuilding you have the manage, one regarding the date and the H scenes themselves. Overall, well made game 5/5.

Very good game. In terms of fun, this is by far the best lewd game I've played. The story is amazing too and the lewd scenes are very well done, but if anything are a bonus to an already fun to play card game.

One of the best of all time. It feels too small because of good it is. It dwarfs most because of how captivating the plot it. The animation and scenes are amazing. It's fun to play too.

I was skeptical of the high rating but I quickly got very surprise of how fun the game was, and the scenes are very good too.

it was surprisingly fun, I finished the game without even masturbating
didn't mean that as a negative, it's just that the game mechanics were quite alright for a porn game that is
if you enjoy deckbuilders (think slay the spire) and wanna look at erotic art at the same time, this is the game for you
the story's twist and turn were kinda funny as well

4/5 I guess, would have preferred a free mode without the card game part after clearing the game

Overall this is an excellent game. It manages to both balance the deckbuilding mechanics, story and of course sex scenes.

It starts slow, like a dating game, but further on you'll be amazed how situation changes in Act 2. And then again in Act 3. Thus requiring from the player to change strategies and deck for each act so there is no meta to finish the game with some op deck.

The graphics are not that great, but the art style is pretty neat.
Highly recommend.

This game is great!

Incredibly well implemented deck building mechanic. Even tough the concept is simple and has only 3 basic states, the mechanics go deep and keep it intrestring.

Unlike most Ren'Py games, who are usually boring, this game keept me on my toes. One of the best Ren'py games out there.

Covers a range of fetishes. But nothing too extreme.

What a fantastic little game.
The idea of deck building is very fun for a dating sim and it challenges you to do re runs to try new strategies.
Also the story is very nice, unpredictable and with lots of twist. I was it was longer and with new situations to put the two mcs in.

The game combines deck-building, erotica, and strategy. Unexpected twists and turns in the game are a joy. The mechanics in the game are simple but enjoyable. Drawing is the reason why I initially paid attention to the game. But after playing a little I realized that it attracts me with everything. So people who like cards, a little thought and spicy situations - I advise.

This is a fantastic breath of fresh air as far as AVNs go, I cannot hype this game enough! Fun elements, Kinky storyline; with twists! Adorable graphics. Joyce is total Waifu material. A really great break from the average VN Slog due to the fun card game nature. I look forward to future work from this author!

Amazing and innovative gameplay! The deck building system actually works, and requirements are well balanced. The character is likeable as well with good writing for dialogue and overall flow. Keep up the great work and look forward to future updates!

Just play it , the game is not as grindy as you might think , and the last "dates" are worth all the grind IMO

Now i need to write some more words so i can post this , so ...

Love the art , it does wonders for games like this
make sure to upgrade your cards sleeping in the couch and using the pc

good luck !
10/10 wanted to keep on grinding

Not a deck building game, a deck grinding game instead (game is won via adding more cards to the deck, rather than building a smart deck). As a consequence, really boring, repetitive gameplay loop. Quite short; given the repetitiveness, this is almost a plus. Almost.

Not much else to say. There's no story beyond some really basic premise, no notable characterization. Art is meh.

Not bad enough to warrant one star, but definitely not good to earn three.

Overall, pretty underwhelming.

Great game it really does deliver on the whole being a Deckbuilding lewd game.

The art was really good to me. I liked the style it was drawn in or however it was made.

The story and build up threw me for a loop in a good way. There aren't any fail states really it just might take you longer but eventually you will get to the end.

I'm looking forward to what comes of this game.

What is this game?
: A deckbuilding game that stimulates BOTH your heads. The game gets hot as your progress BUT it gets more harder...part of the reason it gets harder is because your blood is not going to the right head and it's making the game and something else harder

Pros: a genuine deckbuilding H game that has awesome twists, cards, and strategies. Art is pretty easy on the eyes. There's not a back and forth words but whatever it has its decent cuz the focus is on cards. Sound effects and animations are pretty nice. Plot moves forward as you progress thru levels and it has awesome twists.

Cons: Honestly for what it's meant to be its very well executed. There's no music so I just used lofi which fits pretty well.

Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely play it! It hooks you in once you start forming strategies to progress thru different portions of game. Hope more kinks are added down the line but so far it's awesome for first release!

Fuck yeah play it!

It's really good. An inventive and fun deck building game. The art is subjective, but I like it an the animation is pretty good and more than 2 frames per second. I'm looking forward to seeing this game develop over time.

Like the storyprogress. A bit tedious but still doable. Has femdom in it at the later part.
The art could be more polished tho.
Iam not a review writer tho, i am rather short in text. But still somehow i need 200 something.

First comment / review after lurking here for more than a year.
This is an insanely good game even without the sex, and with them it's even better.
Nice writting / build up / sex scenes / gameplay.
Honestly the best game I've ever played on this website, would have probably played it if it didn't have any H element and was a standard deck building game (like inscryption / slay the spire)

[v0.5]

The rare adult game where the sum of the content is greater than the individual elements.

The sketch-like art style blends into the background as you think through your playing cards. Yet, when the game takes your agency away for the few cutscenes, you immediately appreciate its stylized features.

The simple card mechanics provide just enough of a challenge to the horny-minded to sometimes stop, think, and act, as suppose to just playing it one handed as a glorified galley.

Last but definitely not least, the existing narrative, which would likely be played for laughs as a side quest in many other titles. Here is shown sincerely and it 100% lands the twist, making the second half of the game all the more engaging.

A fantastic one hour adult story, with a devilishly teasing card game, and an eye catching art style. If future updates build upon these, then this game has a great future among other fantastic adult games.

This is not just a good smut game, but it's a pretty decent little card game too! It's surprisingly tricky to get a combination of cards to beat Joyce, especially at the later levels, and it feels really rewarding once you do. I love the twist mid-game, and the artwork is lovely. I look forward to the full release!
