VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Deliverance [Final] [1Thousand]

5* just for Katherine...vanilla or sharing route.
Don't want to play any others that involve cheating on her...
And it was a bit difficult to share her on that path, but damn was she hot.
Katherine is a vixen goddess among mere mortals in this genre...

Overall, difficult to rate. I tend to agree with many other reviews/comments, the good and not so good, but this one is greater than the sum of it's parts.
If you look at each piece individually, average to really good.
But, all those pieces together, turned out to be a really excellent VN/story.

If the tags and overview catch your interest, this one is definitely worth a read...

Best game ever in monster/ devil like games. Everyone must try it . Great females models(mainly Sarah my darling).Great story and visuals. This is one of the unique games present right now . Play this and you get greater experience apart from the sex scene. The sex scene are also great(specially Anal scenes) give a try to this game

I think the concept with this game is great, it has some amazing action and some really great tough deciosns, though a lot of the LIs did not work for me and i really felt the game dragged and started to get stale, it is still very good, but could have been shorter and more fleshing out of the LIs and it would have been great for me

This is a tough one to rate. As it has a lot of positives and negatives.

Keep in mind that I played this game mainly for the swinging / sharing content

Positives:
- Visuals: The visuals are great, it includes animations that are well done and feels high quality.
- Has an interesting story: The story has good spelling and grammar and is good conceptually.
- Has good pacing. Good mix of sex scenes and story.
- Has a lot of different options
- Long story line with a lot of content
- Realistic proportions for the women
- A variety of women to have sex with

Negatives:

- The biggest negative for me was that the sex scenes are not well written and rely on the visuals. The author of this game seems to be decent at writing a storyline, but does not know how to effectively write sexy dialogue or create scenes with high levels of sexual tension.

- A lot of the sex scenes have very little build up and tension so it's mainly the visuals for stimulation. I vastly prefer games where the text of the sex scenes is written very well and the visuals are just extra.

- I mainly followed a loyal husband sharing route and there are some issues with this route if you take it.

1. Some scenes in the game will have characters react to you as if you're fucking them / cheating on your wife, when you aren't.

2. The game kinda slowly builds some sharing content through exhibition at first, which was promising, and then the first sharing scene is your wife full blown sucking a random gross guy off in a dirty alleyway... I personally prefer when games slowly build the sharing tension and ease their way into it, or at least start sharing with a person or couple they have built a relationship. I guess technically you can tell her not to do it, but its still odd to have that as the first option.

For me, what ended up happening is that once i realized this game is mainly meant to be played cheating husband I just stopped reading and fast forwarded as it's not for me.

Story was ok to start with but changes into something totaly diffrent which should be explained on the front page since it sure as fuck wasent what i expected it to be, you play a cop that gets kicked off the force and starts up as a private investergator, so pretty standard cop story and that part i liked..

You start out with being married which im not really a fan of but thats mostly due to personal taste since i dident really like the wife in any way and not being into cheating the game becomes pretty bad since the freedom to pick who you want has been taken from you on day one and playing faithfull route with someone you dont really like is not the most fun, also you cant say no to your wife so plenty of forced sex that i dident care about, i get that its hes wife but some games does it right and let the player deside if they want to fuck the wife or not, this game dosent to that and why dont they pick one of the hot girls to be the wife like the redhead or cop friend...why always the most boring one....also the wife dosent really have a reason to be there she has nothing to do with the main story shes just there...which makes it even more pointless to have her from the start.

Also to me the game dosent really make any sense, MC is hired to follow someones wife to find out if shes cheating which she is, then MC makes contact with the wife? why? theres just no point since job is done and he should go back to he client and give him the news, but instend game turns into an idiotic b-porn movie so MC can now get some slobby seconds fucking her right after hes just watched another dude fuck her....i mean what the fuck...but the good news is you can just stop right away and choose to end the case...but to me it should never have been an option to presure her to sex, MCs is married and by the looks of it hes in a happy marriage so it just dosent make sense for him to start cheating or becoming a pervert and fuck whores and prosttues, atleast its optional.

When it starts changing to vampire/superpower stuff it just gets more weird and not in a good way, Shara the cop friend just lets a murdere walk after he killed somoeone, it makes absoutly no sense, she has her gun pointed on him but lets him go? ....yeah its that weird MC even tells her it was the right thing to do rofl....great cops eh....maybe time to quit their jobs...

You can share the wife? but not MC? this is really makes it a shitty adult game, i cant even dump the wife untill the very end when game is pretty much done and at that point its way to late to start up a relationship with the one you do want to be with.

To make game an even bigger fail is the lack of pregnancy, it has the tag but i never saw a single girl pregnant, i heard Andrea is the only one that can get pregnant out of so many girls, not even your fucking wife can become pregnant so that pregnancy tag seriouesly shouldent even be there, cant play a faithfull route to get content and only one LI which i dident like has the option.....its awfull.

Renders are good quality but way to dark in alot of scenes.

As for the girls i dident really like the art style or atleast i dident think any the girls where all that hot, but atleast theres a little diversity in builds.

Animations are a bit meh, dont really see much and its pretty short, dialogs are alright, but theres also forced kinks/fetishes like licking ass, anal which im not into.

Choices are somewhat decent, you can pretty much deside who to fuck or not so thats a plus.

Endings are a bit meh and can feel rushed atleast with some, i dident see all the endings though, did see a cliffhanger one which is never a good thing.

If your into all the superpower shit this game might be for you, if your expecting a cop story forget about it, ill give it 3 stars since some of it was pretty good but most stuff i found to be average at best and story less then that not being into the hole superpower thing.

In short: A game worth playing since the setting is kind of fresh and unusual, it brings a lot to the table and can be played very satisfying. The optics are a little dated, but the story makes up for it. The sexual fantasies are broad, from vanilla-faithful over optional little kinks like to optional NTR (or more netorase). There are many endings that are linked to your decisions, even if I would say the link is sometimes weak or even not noticable.
You can also see that the developer improved a lot from the beginning to the end: The visual quality got better as the presentation of the plot and some other minor flaws vanished.

Approximated playtime if you read all of it about 16 hours. If you replay with skipping the seen parts, maybe 20 hours.

What I don't like:
The text lines or scenes are sometimes (mostly in the beginning; not too often) not that connected. There are leaps from one thread to the other. The characters talking about their day and then jumping into another scene without interlude.

The girls are optically different but they are (almost) all sexually very open and characterly not that different.

Sharing (Netorase) is only possible with your wife.

It is sometimes hard to understand how the game is meant to be played. For example there is a female officer working with the MC. You can get closer to her or not. But can you be a good friend to her and not cheat on your wife? What actions lead to cheating - ? Also you have to spend some times with other girls in order to get to certain (non sexually related) story scenes as the girls can for example be your source of information.
This means a lot of freedom, you can play this game really in various ways that really differ from each other. I also like this ways not to be that clear. But as I am trying to reach all ends by repeatedly playing it, I still manages to only reach not only half of them, not knowing what I chose "wrong".
I think this point is between the good and the bad as it really brings some "open world" feeling.


What I like:
- The story is not that foreseeable.
- The sex scenes are rewarding and well written. Not too much text, no repetition, but hot text, good build up and quite nice fetishes.
- The topic of the game is not overused but quite refreshing
- The story is in most parts logical. The ending might be a little rushed, but not too much to spoil the fun. There is an explaination for everything important and no open threads
- The game is varied and changes the main theme more than once.

If the author would bring himself to create a directors cut of the game, it could be one of the greatest games here. Simply just add some more hints to the results of your choices (just a little), straighten the plot a little in the second third of the game (maybe put some things from the endgame into this part) and add some more NTR-scenes with other ladies. There were some possiblities were it would have felt natural.

It's great.Someone is swearing at the plot, but damn, I liked everything.A large number of scenes with different variations.It's a great story in my opinion.A super hot wife that you can share.And yes, this is probably the best game with NTS, no humiliation and other shit.Only the expansion of the sexual horizons of a couple who loves each other.I definitely didn't regret taking the time to do it.

Played Deliverance for around 8 hours, just wasn't digging it after a while, and didn't finish it as a result. Too many things felt off: story was meandering, sharing was only MC's wife (why the hell not sharing the MC as well?), scene transitions and pacing were jarring and abrupt, sex scenes themselves weren't engaging or hot.

Felt more like the game was being developed without any planning or thought behind what happens next. And it felt like the entire sharing mechanic was a pseudo-NTR cuck for the MC only; it never allowed the MC's wife to share him with other women, which is unbelievably lame and short-sighted.

Not going to go too into-depth with this one, as it just left a bad taste in my mouth playing it. Didn't feel enticing, or rewarding, or pleasing at all.. either reading or viewing scenes.

Result is a 2.8 from me on it. It's not really as good a game as the overall rating would lead you to believe - there are far better options out there now.

Sto apprezzando particolarmente questo gioco lo trovo bello riesce a tenerti attaccato allo schermo i menu sono gradevoli e ordinati la storia e veramente particolare e profonda piuttosto insolita ma buona non e la solita zuppa con lo stesso contesto anche i rendering e le animazioni sono fantastici i modelli dei personaggi con inquadrature sublimi offrono veramente uno scorcio da panorami mozzafiato avvolte mi sento un po in colpa nel tradire kat ma cazzo ragazzi ma quanto adoro il culo di sarah un'altr cosa che ho apprezzato e la fisica credibile complimenti allo sviluppatore e grazie per aver condiviso questa piccola opera d'arte che finirebbe senz altro di meritare un posto su steam

Loved the story, and the women. The characters were beautiful and loved the animation. For me the sharing was really fun and the way different characters were interacting together was well flushed out. I replay the sharing scenes pretty often, it's very well thought out.

Although I had high hopes for the game at first and played it to the end,this game suffers from what many low effort and low bugget or otherwise VNs and other porn games: a coherent and well written story that makes the player invested and to care about the characters and relate even if a little with the protagonist or his companions or antagonists,in short it lacks substance and nuance,everything is oversimplified or at a very mediocre level of though like the black and white mentality or anyone who opposes the protag is "evil" pr that every "villain" is someone in pain and the protag can fix them and bring them to light,themes and tropes that are not only absurd but overused to the point of being expired from 70s or earlier onwards till recently when some nuance was added,this game is unfortunatly quite old by porn game standards and that is very noticeable from the way it is made and works out,compare it to a game made in 2024 or even 2022 and the difference is big,it is a general trend.

Some scenes are good,others are mediocre (most of them),the endings are terrible and contain cliffhangers like the sanguis regis ending which I find the best,music is ok-ish and the choices are so irrelevant that make telltale games look interactive.
Overall a 4,5/10 as I hate the innacurate star system.

SANGUIS VITA EST!!!1

After 23h of playtime, I finally finished this behemoth of a game. It’s passable, but not all good. Since it took so damn long to complete this thing, not holding back on the review either. 3.5/5, but 4 because I believe the dev really tried the best he or she could.

TL;DR: Eye-Catching supernatural religious VN with OCD sex loop that runs waaay too long. Brilliant in flashes, but often misguided and tone deaf. Only play for time to kill or if you fancy having unconnected porn intermissions pop up every 10 minutes.

Good

• Hours of content
• Renders are nice quality
• Lots of sex scenes
• Supernatural angle
• Backstory explored in game

Meh

• Female overload
• Weak antagonist
• Detective bait story
• Supernatural angle unexplained until very late

Bad

• Chaotic, shallow storytelling over a deep storyline
• Music to unplug your speakers for

Blood is the spice of life. No idea who actually said that, but it's definitely what deliverance is all about. This game is long - too long - but it makes for an epic supernatural experience. Or an abysmal detective experience. It all depends on how you look at things. There's a great game hidden underneath a pile of blood.

STORY
Let me be clear - THIS IS NOT A DETECTIVE GAME. Baited into playing this and about 3 hours in, the whole detective angle is completed. When things go supernatural, it seems like there is no end in sight. I quit playing and came back at least 4 times. Took 23h for a playthrough and that could easily have been reduced to 10 - 12 hours if the game’s quality had been increased. That said, if you're into story just for passing time you'll get more than enough of it.

The overall story has potential and you feel the developer took time out to research cults, symbolism and supernatural powers. Not exactly my preference when it comes to subjects, but at times the level of detail is commendable. Sadly, writing is at times flat and uninspiring. Has high moments, but also tonedeaf ones that make your guts turn around. It's precisely a mixed bag.

Characters help sell a couple dozen moments, most notably MC’s wife. But even waifu is subject to occasional weird poses, incorrect facial expressions and behavior devoid of reasoning. It all stems from the amount of content - with thousands of renders, I feel quality often sacrificed quantity. The second half of the game especially feels too cluttered with filler content, for the dev to ultimately speedfeed explanations in the final chapter. Pacing seems a bit off because of it.

Although I like the game’s idea of blurring the line between bad and good, it’s often hard to tell due to stereotypical responses. Wifey is a bit of an exhibitionist, your case partner is focused on anal (because she’s got a big ass), dinner girl has nice feet and is into leg fetish. The main sidekicks have a few plot points that arcs their character appropriately, but the moment sex kicks in, all development is halted. The main threat isn’t explained until the final, final moments which doesn’t allow you to build a feeling around it.

GRAPHICS
It truly feels like two different games - a VN about supernatural powers and one about sex-crazed friends - forcefully combined. One moment you’re grieving about a senseless death and the immediate next your wife asks you to pull your dick out for kicks. When taken as two separate games, they work better - but together it’s a chaos that lessens the experience.

If you’re here for sex encounters and funsies however, there are a lot of sex scenes in this game. From random quickies to fetishes and even sharing and swapping - I’ve had at least 30 scenes in my playthrough and I took the ‘wifey first’ route. Imagine what the other routes are like. It’s a sex circus, but somehow they refrained from ‘supernatural’ sex scenes.

GAMEPLAY
There are a lot of choices to make in this game and while not all impactful, it mainly breaks down into a ‘hero’ and ‘villain’ tree. Other reviews reveal that the villain path would actually be more fun, but I think the hero arc is the original story. I had Ending 6 of 8, so that tells you how much of a paragon I was. A perfect life.

OVERALL
This game could really benefit from a remaster. There’s diamond level material in there if you look for it, but it’s hidden under piles and piles of monotonous cycles. Glad I experienced it, but if you’re looking for a killer story - please look elsewhere or find some let’s plays.



3.5 / 5

I mean, it's not the worst game ever, but it was completely unrewarding.
Most of the girls are strange looking, with impossible proportions. It's not good. The sex scenes are good, but nothing special. That's if they're according to your fetish. This game appears to be specifically written for a public sex fetish, and a swinging fetish, neither of which are my thing. You can opt out of the swinging, but the public sex is required.
For some fucked up reason, breast implants are treated as normal and not at all suspect. One of the characters brags about her fake boobs, another says she's thinking about fake boobs, and nobody says to her "your boobs are great" (they're not, but they're not tiny, and even if they were, boobjobs are ugly, and perpetuate the cycle of unconfidence.)
Then, there's the story. The writing itself is decent, but the plot is, umm, bad. There's some stuff about a demon, the protagonist and their team don't get to make any meaningful choices , the plot ending is a weird mix of deus ex machina and just incomplete concepts.
The epilogues/endings are horrific. The one I got was challenging Game of fucking Thrones; the shit that happened wasn't based on the characters' decisions or characters. The other two endings I looked at weren't good either. One was a trite, emotionless, happyish ending, and the other one was the writer forcing Ugh. I am not glad I played this. Not in the slightest.
It would probably be 2 stars but for the boobjob thing. Encouraging women to get cosmetic surgery isn't good. This shit matters. Why do you think that like 80% of female pornstars end up getting boobjobs? Shit like this. It's not the worst boob-image-health-stuff game, but it's certainly a fucking problem.

When you ask on a random forum for VNs recomendations, Deliverance always makes an appearance, but does it really stands out to be "one of the best"?

Story: 3 Almost-Hard Bananas out of 5
Deliverance begins like a good detective fiction but it goes really overboard when supernatural elements are forced into the narrative, this happens really abruptly and the detective fiction is thrown through the window not long after when you realize you have to fight to prevent the apocalypse...Or making it happen, depending on your actions.
The story is told directly and too quickly, leaving you feeling like you missed something for clicking too fast.
To sumarize: The story is too ambitious for its own good.

Characters: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
The girls look good overall, Dahlia and Katherine look reaaaally similar, but it doesnt matter. They all have their charm.
Depending on your actions, some characters may behave accordingly, this is really good, your decisions matter on this VN.
This apartment received 4/5 exclusively for Rose, whose destiny seems to be written in stone, regardless of your decisions.
MC is a Gary Stu, but we all realize that just by reading the overview.

Mechanics: 5 Adamant-Hard Bananas out of 5
There's no minigames, Really good decision from Dev part.
Your decisions matter, and you have plenty of decisions to make.

Content: 5 Adamant-Hard Bananas out of 5
There's a lot of scenes, you can share your wife if that floats your boat for some reason, or dont.
Some scenes may be hero or villain path related, so depending on your decisions you may lock yourself from some content on your current run.

Ending: 2 Resting Bananas out of 5
There's 8 endings in total, but only 3 of them feel original and the rest are just variations.
At the end I can say that being a Hero doesnt feel rewarding at all, while being a Villain you can keep literally everyone on your harem...Again, everyone except Rose.

Deliverance has content to offer is true, but storywise it fails to deliver a consistent narrative when this should be its main strong point, so on this department It's a bit overrated and it fails to leave a memorable experience.

It's probably the best game with the perfect reveal of NTR and Swinging! NTR is not in the Japanese sense, where the MC is constantly humiliated, but an adequate MC, not a wimp, without humiliation. The sex scenes are top notch, the MC's wife is perfectly written, and looks good. There are slight problems with the story, it concerns more the final part, but nevertheless, this is a story, not a simple point and click and fuck everyone!
It's a pity that the developer in his next game went slightly into another genre, also great, even better will be, but there is not such a great disclosure of characters, and disclosure of such tags.

I gotta admit straight up that I feel this game is pretty overrated. Story is pretty decent in the beginning, but it starts to feel very draggy after some time. Found myself having the urge to skip some dialogues half-way through. Characters are pretty one dimensional, and the flow of story gets interrupted from time to time. There's also a lot of night time scenes which makes the game very dark. I did however manage to finish this game still.

Pros:
-Great HUD
-Good renders and animation
-Good variety and design of models
-Dahlia!!
-Plenty of intimate scenes
-Avoidable NTR scene
-Multiple endings for experimenting

Cons:
-Mediocre and hard to follow plot
-Repetitive and annoying poses (Katherine's airplane pose)
-Moral choices are weak
-Not the best scenes used during intimacy
-Decisions can be pretty confusing at times

This AVN has a semi-linear story with multiple endings. The models are extremely sexy and the romance options range from staying with MC's wife to moving on with one of a handful of very sexy women. Lots of sexual content. IMO, the writing was subpar and the story may have been overly ambitious. There are many serious/sexual relationships that simply cease at various points in the story - no story or dialog explanation. The flow of the story gets frequently interrupted. Overall, the ideas/concepts of the story are interesting and unraveling the mystery of what's happening is something I found myself getting invested in. If you're not overly worried about the story, this AVN has more than enough hot renders and scenes to be worth checking out.

I suppose the easiest way to start would be to mention how bad the writing is. Everything is written to just be so straight forward and cookie cutter. All the characters are one dimensional and they all talk so basic. There is no sophisticated dialogue here, and I doubt any word with more than 6 letters was ever used. This means that all the different characters, with their own unique "personalities" are all just the same basic thing but with different kinks attached to them. The writing also causes serious problems because scenes seem to jump all over the place and there aren't any filler scenes or explanations in the writing to how people got to certain places or how characters learned information. It feels very disconnected from itself. There are scenes where I genuinely thought I had accidentally double clicked or something because it would go from a scene of the MC saying yeah we could do that and then just bam, he's in a totally different location with different characters. What the hell happened? This is all really unfortunate because the girls are pretty hot, even if they do all look like they are in their late 30's early 40's for some reason. I do like the availability of the different kinks in the game but there's of course a big problem with it. Unless you go down the be an asshole route, you're going to miss almost everything. If you want to be nice and be the "hero" as the game says, you are not going to see a LOT of the kinks. Only after using a gallery mod did I truly see just how many different kinks and scenes were in the game but locked out from me because I didn't want to be a comic book villain. Some of the kinks I was forced to see even though I wasn't interested in them in the slightest, like exhibitionism for example. Want to bang your wife? Well there's exhibitionism and you don't get to avoid that unless you want to not bang your wife. Also, there's no way to get with all of the other women unless you want to be a cheating asshole, which again blends in with the whole hero and villain thing. Later on in the game there are also new variables introduced randomly like control and trust and again it's locked to this whole hero or villain thing. What if I do want to dominate some girl but I don't want to be a comic book villain asshole? Well too bad you can't. Ultimately, I think I could keep going on and on about the serious flaws in this game such as the mediocre story or the strong pushing of certain kinks even though you avoid those options, but I believe I have made the point I've wanted to make. The game is just mediocre and locks too much content behind different routes which are again locked behind being an asshole or being nice. A sad conclusion for a promising title.

This is an odd game.

Katherine is a beautiful and loveable character, though very one dimensional. Sarah is much deeper even if her personality seems to be based entirely around her ass. Katherine's sharing scenes were done extremely well and we easily the best made scenes for me. Rose was good too but got much less screentime than the others.

However the LIs all had weird poses happening all the time. You would be talking about something random like work and the LIs, especially Katherine, would cycle through an airplane pose, a sexy hands on head pose, a hands against the wall ass out pose, and a weird body contortionist pose. It was extremely jaring and took me out of the conversation a lot because they didn't fit the tone at all.

The dialogue was jaring too. Topics would change abruptly from one sentence to the next with no transition and I found myself using the back button several times because I thought that I skipped over something. This was prevalent throughout and really took away from being able to view characters as real people, especially combined with the random dance poses they would switch through.

Lastly, there were a lot of nighttime scenes where the brightness was so low that it was hard to make them out. I would say a good 50% of the game was like this and I had to check my brightness settings several times because I thought that my tablet had switched it down.

Simply put, there were several choices which deliberately pulled me out of the game and made it hard for me to follow or get into the story. I couldn't take the girls seriously with their random poses, I couldn't follow the plot with constant topic changes, and I couldn't see the game with the overly dark backgrounds. It took away from what was otherwise a decent game.

I give 5 stars solely for Sarah's ass. One of the best I've seen in VN.
I found the relationships to move quite quickly, this game lacks the slowness. The animation, camera angles and rendering are decent. Definitely worth playing!
