VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Deadlocked in Time [Final] [Neko-Hime]

It's hard to even begin with what is wrong with this one. In short, pretty much everything.

It has pointless conversation and choices. The relationship progress is all over the place; on one hand everyone is hopelessly in love with you and ready to make babies with you and not shy about it, but at the same time they refuse to have penetrative sex. This includes almost every character in the game, no matter if they are a virgin relative or experienced cougar. They even offer first time anal instead of vaginal sex('cus they love Jesus, I guess?), because "it's not the right time". Overall it becomes painfully obvious that the creator considers vaginal sex as some mythical sacred act that only few people experience in their lives.

There are more masturbation scenes than in all other adult games I've played this year combined. Seriously, why would you make a VN with so many handjobs? Handjobs can be erotic if the situation is public or it includes some other stimulating factors and in the real world it certainly feels different when somebody else does it, but that doesn't translate to visual novels at all. You are with your own hand, watching a handy...

Seriously, I'm certain I would find even witty dialogue more arousing than watching these scenes. Which brings me to the next point, the dialogue is not witty, it is poor and very juvenile for the most parts. The traumatic past angle feels very out of place and shallow, and it completely fails to stir any emotions. And maybe it's just me as a heterosexual guy, but the trauma dreams seem homo-erotic, of course the tag is there but I'd prefer not to watch them at all.

Speaking of homosexuality, this game toggles futanari content behind a choice that includes a transgender character. Might just be misunderstanding the word but I always thought it means hermaphrodite in weeb-speak, which means having both sexual organs, but the main "futa" in this game looks like a girl but only has a penis and is referred as 'he'. Most trans-women I have known refer to themselves as 'she' so this is a bit confusing, perhaps I misunderstood the character completely and he is a homosexual trans-man instead? Either way I believe he is locked in a wrong fetish toggle.

The visuals aren't great, but I'm not too fussy about them if the story is good. In this case, the story is not good enough to save the day. In fact it is hard to tell what the story tries to be. It seems like a joke without any punch lines, but it also tries to be dark and engaging with the violent abuse portion. The mixture of the two create a very confusing experience that fails in both angles.

I give it two stars because it is clear there is effort behind this creation and I want to encourage any attempts even if they don't succeed that particular time.

PS. This is all based on the positive karma path. As far as I could tell by quick test, the "negative karma dark path" is not a choice between content but rather a choice to avoid content. Seems entirely pointless.

Poor content at it's best and the animations is is lacking when compared to many other games that are out there. I fail to see how this game has the rating it does...this game is not for me. I hope the developer finds a better path or starts a new project with better content and storyline.

Childish writing with lame pacing. Bloated with side characters most players will not give a fuck about. Graphics are below average, faces are on the weird side. Interactions are cringe at best.

Two stars because the author tries to put content in and there's effort in the menus/layout even though it doesn't really fits the game.

And what's up with the stupid notion that blocking rollback choices are somehow favorable for the playing experience? I can load autosaves you know? It just takes me 3 more clicks to get to the same basic function already built in the engine you chose! Besides, your choices lead to nowhere, so it's twice as dumb.

One of the worst i've played. Models are horrific, like adults shrunk and given bad baby faces. Graphics are bad. UI is bad. Story is bad. Animations are awful.

Possibly the only good thing would be the length, but given how bad it is that just makes it even worse. Also, currently doesn't really lead anywhere, just sex with some sidechars.

Stay away from this if you want any kind of quality.

Suppose some people would enjoy it as a niche thing, and can overlook these things.

Graphics are pretty bad. Most of the faces look terrible. Every person in the game looks ready to jump you yet all that happens is light petting. There is no build up, it's instant grinding / petting and nothing else.

I got a better impresion the first time i played. Like many games it starts decent with good prospects. Decentísh graphics if the loli thing is your kink, cause many girls look like dolls (mostly creepy if its not your thing), but a strong support if it is.

The game starts simple, a family household, and one girlfriend. As the chapter 2 unfolds it becomes evident that the game turns into a porn loop, the harem puts a lot of pressure, and that game that promised no blueballs, clearly delivers them. The MC does nothing on his own, he seems to be receiving all the time.
So far, MCs choices lead to nowhere most of the time.

He promises time with his sister, he forgets about her, then he speaks 2 lines with her and thats it.
He promises a journey back with his jealous sister, but there is no such journey back.
He is about to get a blowjob from his mother, he is interested (but is his mother taking the initiative, and she falls asleep. After this he goes to his sister but i guess he is not horny since he barely touches his sister, she bascially has to implore him to do it. And he stops.
Later he is with her and she is naked, he tells her to put clothes on.
He is with another naked sister, one kiss and goodnight.
Is like he is not interested. How do you intend to build up interest if the MC doesnt seem to care?
Dev Is desperately trying to stall progression with main characters, and its too obvious, and in the process the game is looking more stupid.


Writing and plot planning and all that stuff is really bad, there are so many pieces but fails to put them together. Is trying to add more and more options to the harem, and relationships are remaining shallow as fuck and sexual interaction remain in the handjob blowjob peting blowjob handjob tier.

Im hoping chapter 3 will improve, but will not be because of relationship development but because of tier unlocking. EDIT:

Nah, no improvements at all, still trapped in the porn loop, searching for more and more girls that do exactly the same things the others do, still in the peting /light handjob. I has become predictable and frustrating. It will be better once is completed, around the year 2024. When the time comes i will give it 4.

Great game so far! Love the options around how who you want to date. Wish there was a bit more content but will keep tracking to see how it develops. My one comment is that there may be too much going on in parallel (bit hypocritical since I love all of it) and developing all the storylines in parallel will slow down development.

I had this game on ignore decided to replay to again

Lot of incest scenes seems to be removed even with the patch to make room for new girls scenes
Renders are good
story is not good
No bugs
not really a orginal story mou sama does the same kind of

Holy ****!

Played the game like 10 minutes till i started skipping text to the point where i saw the first sex scenes and then i started skipping them too in hope they would get better.... fast... but they didnt.

Scenes are a stuttering of 3 movements at best while graphic is overall terrible and around 5 years old.

Cant recommend the game at all and couldnt find even one aspect which was good or even ok.

The game is nice. The plot is good. What I do not like at all are the images of the women in this game. The family look totally strange not related at all with each other. The mother looks only a few years older then the MC. The faces are disproportional like they are some kind of puppets. I think the graphic needs some serious overwork, the game itself have potential to become good.

The UI is kind of a mess but the game is very promising. A lot of the common tropes required for incest to work are present but there are some fresh ideas too and the time stopping mentioned in the description sounds interesting, though none of it is present in 0.1. Hoping for more soon.

Version Reviewed: v0.1

Overview: An intensely desirable guy has to navigate life despite every woman he meets trying to seduce him.

Story: Honestly, I just finished the current game and I can't remember most of the details. I normally try to read everything in these VNs, but I just couldn't bring myself to care that much. It's mostly high school drama or ladies trying to seduce you. There is a short bit in the beginning with a spaceship and hints about a time stopping power, but it never comes up again.

Gameplay: It's a VN, but there are choices you can make along the way that increase or decrease your karma score. I tried both a full positive karma route and a mostly negative karma route and didn't have too much difference as of this very early version. It may diverge more later. One thing that is very annoying is when you make a choice the game remembers and locks out the other choice if you rollback the dialog. It's not always clear which choice will result in a karma up vs. karma down either. I had to savescum quite a bit to do the playthrough. I also discovered that some choices result in Karma up no matter which option you choose. I'm not sure if that is a bug or not. There are some scenes with the parapalegic loli sister that are rather crudely excised from the game. Presumably they can be added back in with a patch if that's your thing, the patch on this site however only changes back the clunky "landlady" stuff back without adding the loli content, so it's fairly safe.

Graphics: There are custom characters with sometimes iffy proportions, but for once not just in the boobs. The faces are vary with some looking quite unusual by pornogame standards. There are no boobmonsters or beyond rediculous asses. There are a number of animations, but they're simple wooden loops as usual. I tend to think that most of these devs kind of waste their time and download size with animations like this. One thing I will give this game credits for is not making you wait for the fap material. Even before they're putting out (with very little effort) everybody dresses like the concept of shame has never been invented. Boobs just hang out, asses are on display, they couldn't care less (or are happy) if you're blatantly peeping on them. At the end of version 0.1 you already have 3 harem points, by telling various ladies that you'll fuck them.

There is some futa content in the game, but it's completely optional.

Conclusion: This is a game that's great for fapping, even in its very first version. Most games make you grind a lot longer before they give up the goods, but this one is right up front with the porn and it never lets up. There is also something like 1,700 images already in this game. It's totally worth the download unless you're the kind of person who can't get off without a lengthy grind. I only take a star off because I think VNs need a strong (or at least interesting) story to get all 5 stars.

love it.
- needs a bit work on the English translation.
- Some graphics are a bit off (like the skin looking like hair)
+ really good story
+ made me empathies with the main charater.

? why do you get good karma to barge in to your moms room ?

The story and start of the game may seem kind of weird but is paranormal so is supposed to be like that. There is enough content to get a grasp of what is going on though it may need a few more updates for us to completely understand it.
Most of the content is avoidable so don't be concerned if you see some tag or kink you don't like, like in her previous game you can choose what girl/s you want.
The game has all the choices based on good or bad karma, dunno how that is going to affect future content since you have to reject the girls to get bad karma and be a coward... or do the contrary to get good karma.
The girls are cute, the animations are good enough and there is a Harem route so I recommend giving this a go and see for yourself if this game suits you.

Interface is extremely clunky. The transitions when you save take too long and you can't quickly get back to the game when you save. If you make a choice and then decide to go back, you are locked into your choice. You have to save prior to making a decision in order to see if it's the "right" choice. Couple this with the previous delays mentioned and it's constant saving at nearly every choice rather than just critical ones. This seriously disrupts the gameplay.

Only two characters in the entire cast look decent (Landlady and Older Roommate). While the clothing is ridiculous and unrealistic, they do look good. Loli character is disturbing, as is the first love interest (? The chubby one with purple hair?) Thankfully, the trap content is avoidable and clearly marked.

I didn't enjoy this at all, despite the Landlady and Older Roommate being great models. I'll be adding this to my No list for the future.

The game is exactly like good old neko hime game but there is a room for improvement, like the scripts and the sex scenes, I would love to see sex scenes from different angles or perspectives and you can definately add some droids or sexy robots

What can I say? I'm' a fan of Neko-Hime's work. She makes all her own models, and they're sexy as all get-out. This game is a little slower-paced that Maou-Sama, and that gives more of a sense of realism. The MC's problems with his landlady and roommates follow sensibly from his terrible treatment by the landlord, but his friends stand by him, even when he decides to try reconciling with his landlady and roommates (except for one of them). The fascinating thing so far is what the heck is going to happen that takes us from an ordinary story of a regular life to the futuristic scenarios hinted at by the name, the opening scenes, and the weird people who are secretly testing the MC.

For a V 0.1 this isn't bad. There is room for improvement. The writing is off and I can't put my finger on it. I can't go into details with out spoiling things, but the story contradicts itself. It starts off one way, and then BAM! It's a complete 180. Maybe the opening should be a backstory instead of being in the story. I'll still come back and check on the next update. Good luck to the dev with this project.
