VN - Ren'Py - Defending Lydia Collier [v0.17.0.2] [White Phantom Games]

Well this was a very pleasant surprise! For me the story drives everything in any game/VN. This is a wonderfully presented VN with a great story, excellent writing, interesting characters and stunning renders_ there is no down side. Excellent work Dev. Great from start to finish; can't wait to see where the story goes next.

My Rating for this game is:

Pros:
+ Great Story
+ Story makes Sense
+ Lots of Different Sex Scenes (No Boring Spells)
+ Fantastic Renders
+ Crime Story

Cons:
- Nothing whatsoever

Conclusion:
Overall I fell in love with this Game,and i,m burning for the Next update,and that doesn't happen often....
Nice Story like Law & Order.

tried version 0.3
Yes, this game has a very promising start for the story.
Of course it's too early to make a final recommendation, even animations are missing completely, but as for the story it might be a game worth to play in future. As for my part i will wait several updates from now and start a new replay once there is more story content. As this game's most interesting part is the story itself, i can't fully recommend it to play right now and maybe wait until a later version.
Would have given 5 stars when there would be some animations, but this is the only reason not to give full 5 stars right now.
Nevertheless i recommend to keep this game on watch - at least i will do so.

Didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, the story telling is amazing. For the sexual side, not much yet though that's understandable as it's a story based game. Wouldn't mind having some fun with Fluair though.

Second game of my favorite dev.His first game had some flaws; third person narrative scenes, too many routes so little content each update for each save etc.
With this game first game's weaknesses are fixed and it's good parts stayed so this is a great start.Girls looks great, there is a real story and in 0.2 there is already two different approach to the case.
Now the wait for v0.3 starts, can't wait to see what's going to happen in court and start dating these hot women!
Edit: There is 3 different approach to investigation, that's really nice even if it wouldn't matter much later on.That's one of strong points of his games, you see a new scene each time you replay.

I really enjoyed Shadows over Manston so was disappointed to hear it is on hold. So I was delighted to see White Phantom Games had released his latest endeavour. Although relatively short atm (being a first release) the story looks excellent, graphics (especially the girls) are fantastic as well. I thoroughly recommend you check this one out. Especially as one of the characters in the game shares my passion for a certain North London Football club COYS. TTID

Overall this is a very impressive start to a story and I cannot wait for more

PROS:

The models aren't just copied and pasted from other games
This game has a unique premise with interesting characters
This game contains (for the most part) good English with a few mistakes in there
It's a option/consequence game which I personally like more than games where excessive clicking is necessary to accomplish goals
It's a rather long 0.1 version, which is nice

CONS:

There aren't any sex scenes in 0.1, but this is probably because the developer is trying to build up relationships instead of going straight to sex
I do not know how good the Ren'Py will be in this game as there are no scenes containing it

CONCLUSION: 5/5 This game looks really promising. Hopefully the developer puts a lot of time into it. And also because there is a dog in it, which usually helps bring up the rating. (If the dog continues to be in the story, I'll rate this game a 6/5)
