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

Pros

Some sexy models (police colleague with big ass), novel genre, nice renders,

Cons

'Dazified' unoriginal art style , unnatural sex poses, bad jiggle physics, mostly unnapealing models, meandering and silly story, supernatural element feels unbelievable

How game could be better

More emphasise on 'good' and 'evil' choices.

Animations: 7/10 - Sometimes it's 5 sometimes 10
Graphics: 7/10 - Little bit dark and genital details not good
Story: 7/10 - For me it was hard to understand and follow story. I mean when your other hand on your penis, your brain not working xD
NTR: 7/10 - I'm myself NTR lover, i like to corrupt my wife, but in this game wife already crazy I would give 10 if Wife was Naive.

I give 4 stars for this game. It's average game.

actual engaging story good chars & scenes, quite long, different types of scenes, weird stuff in it is good, and optional for those who don't like weird stuff

nearly every dialogue line is a new render which is as cool as it is excessive and the wife is awesome

"Meh" renders coupled with Engrish and some fairly tropetastic writing makes for an incredibly average, if lengthy, game. Couple that with the assets stolen from other properties (I don't know how I'm the only one who noticed the Vampire: the Requiem symbols in this), this game is distractingly laughable.

I don't know if it's just that the community is desperate for content, or if people really do have ridiculously low standards, but this game is not particularly good. It isn't terrible; there are plenty worse out there, but for its popularity and the reviews it's already received, this is not a solid game. Deceptively bad.

Such an underrated game. One of the best VNs on this site
Great renders and Good animations
Well written story and writing
A lot of lewd scenes and they are well done
Female models are beautiful and hot.
a solid 4/5

Although the supernatural theme is not really my cup of tea, the other parts of the story are great. Characters and story impact is in a good spot, the actions you take feel like they have impact. . Personally i think the game would be better in a realistic setting . Still a great game well worth a try.

The user interface is good, the characters are somewhat good.
But
The MC talks about how the police chief suspended him, and there was a connection with the murder case involving the MC's mother. This is where I lost all interest in anything to come in this strange, and irrelevant story.
The dialogue is just too erratic.

Very good !

Nice supernatural setting, cool characters (not an empty brainless shells). There's not too many background tracks, but still we ha some. Good/bad guy route. Sharing/non sharing route. Some different choices.

Ladies looks very good. I'd really like longer scenes with some options tho.

For me 3 things in plot felt off:

Idk what to add. It's a good game and worth trying for sure ! Didnt skip single dialogue. Have fun, guys ! Can't wait for next chapters !

A 4,5 for me.
A Great game, with a marvelous story, hot women and great sex scenes.
Only one flaw, for me, those animation, time by time, who are not so great and don't add a lot to the atmosphere or the game.
But exept that, it's really good.

Absolutely sexy game. The various love interests are super hot, and have personalities and depth. There are also so many possible scenes with great rendering and variety. The story is a little wild but I do enjoy it, and I like the little interludes where you get to play detective.

Still relatively early in my playthrough but it is overall still a good game. Interesting and realistic story line with a very clean interface. There are plenty of sexual options available to choose from. The writing is also above average

If there are several things to point out, the first aspect would be the model(s), namely Catherine. There's a frame or two in the beginning of the game where her eyes become extremely large and creeped me out a bit. Her facial structure is also a bit skeletal but I guess it's just drawing from the base model that I've seen around the site. Sarah's face is a bit skeletal as well, maybe even more so. There are also several frames with a random NPC being completely 2D which I think should at least be mentioned. Finally, in one of the sex scenes with Katherine in the alley, only two parts of the frame were moving: MC's lower body and her ass literally just being pushed up. Kinda took away from the scene for me with just how mechanical it looked

None of these are enough to keep me from playing. These are just the things that I feel can be easily modified. Still a solid game

EDIT: Progressing further, the animations have vastly improved, almost up to City of Broken Dreamers level, and the plot continues to be incredibly interesting and enticing. Completely surprised at how the overall quality improved this much in such a short span

Excuse me for being a little bit honest here, but -WOW-, just W.O.WWW! What the, pardon my language, HECK did i just play?! I am not 100% finished with ch. X, but i can honestly admit that i am thoroughly enjoying this game! Let me try to elaborate -why- this game struck me as much as it did and does, without spoiling too much:
- Realistic models! The models chosen for this game are so....real. Not in terms of the 3d or so, but their personalities -and- their looks! Sarah.... probably one of the hottest and most well-made renders i have come across them many 3-400+ games i have played! And Kath.... her personality really strikes me as someone dear and meaningful to me. I seriously had to raise my eyes a lot whenever she does the "happy adventurous flying"-pose! Love her character! The resemblance is uncanny, despite they look different (Kath and this woman i know). but even the looks struck me of a person i knew. And Sarah... her face... her visible undies... her teases.... she's just too lustrous, teasy, adventurous and intriguing. Difficult to not trigger her events, for sure. I also gotta give a shoutout to our villain and how he's designed. Very curious about what he plots and so on. And Andrea... so forward, appealing and playful. And then there's Rose. As a villager living in the city (while also being a native), her backstory and how she is connected to her entire family tree is kinda how i feel things. Ohh, and i also gotta hand it to you for choosing nice outfits for the girls! I wish the guys too would've had changes to their outfits, but i guess they're not as noticeable as the girls' outfits..
- How you managed to fill this much content into a roughly 2GB package -with- animations, is beyond my understanding! I love the content that's packed into this game. Contains a little bit of everything i find appealing and intriguing, so well done with that. Whenever i look for a game, i love it when the content is not just "clicking and viewing". I love that i am given different choices here and there. I also always measure a game by its content. Like, when i check a game, i first check how big in terms of MB/GB the game is. So, when i d/l this game, i wasn't expecting it to be filled with this much content -and- with some animations too! LOVED that neat surprise, yes.
- I love the fact that you have added intense music and other fitting tunes to certain locations, just to blend in with the excitement of the scene at hand. I also love the fact that you've avoided to use voices, especially for sex scenes. Gets too cheesy and cringy to hear the typical voices you hear across many other games. Plus there as well.
- I also gotta hand it to this game for keeping me stuck playing the game. It's too...exciting, intriguing, appealing and interesting for me to just play it a little bit and that's it. If it's not for the hot scenes, it's the development of the story. Making me curious what they'll plan on next and such. Kinda like being a part of a thriller movie this, it feels like. I like that kind of excitement, for sure.

Ok, i realize this is all too fanboy-talk from me about this game, but i cannot help the fact that i really, really enjoy this game as much as i do. Normally, i am more fond of RPGMs, but this went directly to my all-time top 3 list, absolutely. Definitely worthy of a patreon-signup from me this, yes. I wish i would've written some negative things about this game, but it gets swallowed whole by the sheer amount of good things i reckon about this game. Sorry for that, people who are into critics. Well, one quick thing i -can- say... Those who are into fake/big boobs, like myself, will not find that in this game. Well, a little bit, but not much. If you're into asses, well, that's a different story. This is definitely a game i highly recommend, and believe me, i have tried quite a few of these type of games, and so far, i reckon this is one of -the- best out there, along with BaDIK, DMD, Deluca etc.

Review based on Ch. 10:

First of so do I want to say that this game does swinging right! This game has both the looks and story to deserve the 5 star rating. Super nice models, all though I wish we could have had some with smaller boobs too, but eh. Sex scenes are hot and have a lot of good animations. Story is very interesting and different. Good amount of choices that actually give you different outcomes. Oh and about the swinging, it is TOTALLY optional for those that don't like that type of content, but I highly recommend checking it out at least, since the scenes are really good.

All in all a really good game!

I thought Deliverance was fantastic. The characters are gorgeous, the renders are creative and varied, the story is unique and mysterious, there are a number of different choices and paths, and the music isn't half bad either. And the wife...wow...frankly, I'm a little surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention.

Brilliant game!

When the author makes you care for the characters he wrote, you know he is doing something very right there.

The renders and animations in the first couple of chapters are not that great but improves greatly later on in the game.

That story is great - i could definitely see it being adapted to any other form of media and being successful due to how good the story is and how well the charaters are written - it's hard no to get engaged with the story.

After is finished, sell it to netflix mate (maybe some comic publisher? it looks like something right up boom!'s alley)

This is a quality game. Especially the renders and the girls are all perfect I found so detailed the faces and other parts too. Animations are ok not so good not so bad. Detective story is exciting theres a superpower thing too so not an average detective story. Choices seems really matters.

The overall plot is a slow burn, kinda meandering and mysterious. This would be okay if each individual episode or subplot had interesting stuff going on while it teases us, which it didn't. The plot writing takes a large relative percent of gametime, the character writing is much weaker than most other highly rated VNs. The sex is not the best, the writers wasn't able to hit the heights of eroticism in this one. The faces/expressions/animations look kinda awkward too, though the graphics overall are good. The UI is missing the "skip transitions" option which made it really annoying to read. This would be a 2/5 if not for the fact that it's a good implementation of the "VN" concept without shitty grind or commutes as found in other VNs, so +1 for that.

Don't know why all the high ratings on this game, i've already tried to play it 3 times and couldn't play for longer than 30 min. The thing that most annoys me in this game are the transitions to every render, it aint direct, instantanious, it takes some time, in some ways it smooth but for me is just annoying, the other fact is the MC, my god he looks horrible, it seems that he uses blue lens, what makes he look weird, like a vampire, second it's his facial expression, often you see him making some weird non-human facial expressions, what brings you direct to the uncanny valley. The dialogues isn't really good either, it's very vague and seems kinda of rushed, the several amount of sex scenes it's a turn down for me, i mean, i know i am playing a erotic game, but it's different when u play a game with good story with sexual content in it, when it develops naturally and doesn't seem rushed, then playing a sexual game with some story here and there, where the sexual content seems pushed just for fap material.

Based on the (as yet) unfinished V.9.

My usual disclaimers when writing reviews on here are that A. I am here for the "plot" not the plot and B. I generally dislike visual novels. So take both of those into consideration for my review when thinking about this game.

Pros

• Plenty of sexual scenes - For me this is always requirement number 1 and so it's a big old check mark that the game will regularly get smutty. The game never forgets that its a porn game and is capable of throwing in the odd sexy scene even between the more intense moments of the plot. Not to the extent that it throws the pacing completely off, but enough so that the pervert inside is rarely unsatisfied for long.
• Lots of different kinks - In line with the above, it's pretty refreshing to see a decent variety in the different sexual encounters and even between girls. One likes it up the butt, one is the blowjob queen, the odd elements of proper dom/sub. It's good stuff. Even some of the sharing content (which is generally a big no for me) was actually surprisingly hot and fun.
• Illusion of choice - All important for me in story games of any description, I need to feel that my choices are actually impactful and here they are (to a degree). In that at least it feels like there are a few different options and routes you can go through for the girls.
• Katherine - The character of your wife in-game. I've seen at least one reviewer call her model "creepy" so perhaps she's somewhat polarising, but I actually think she might have one of the outright best character models in just about any game. She's super cute, loving, sexual, has a banging body and a unique, angular face which makes her stand out. She is possibly the highlight for me and I'm only disappointed there isn't the option of knocking her up!

Mehs

• ALL the other Character models - Both of the other girls you can bang are less visually interesting than Katherine and they, along with you are all edging a bit towards the uncanny valley. They all have features which are just slightly too exaggerated to seem real, such as too wide hips, a too big jaw, a too big butt.
• Sex scene length - Overall a tad too short and uninspired. For all the variety I mentioned earlier, only a few of the scenes felt like the writer was really trying to MAKE them hot. The rest are "here are a few sexy visuals, now go jack off". Not exactly bad, but certainly not ideal.
• Animations - Relatively rare but also always a bit odd, they never really flow and seem to be a tad janky or awkward. Even smaller ones, like a girl jiggling her tits around, often don't look that great.

Cons

• Story and writing - The dialogue is often overly wordy and so gradually as time grew on I started skipping through it faster and faster. I was never really engaged with much of the plot, not because it was uninteresting but because it spent far too long belabouring every single point before advancing. For a detective story there are often rather unfathomable leaps of logic made which make the actual "mystery" very, very bizarre. Not to mention the presence of a weird, totally separate, sort of religious society that lives on this fictional island. It's just weird and doesn't gel. Not BAD, but unfortunately kinda boring and difficult to get into.
• Introduction - In line with the above, the intro feels SUPER out of place. Thankfully you get through the confusing bit quickly, but it's a weird mixture of flashback and non and the results from it are extremely weird. We don't know why it happened, what prompted it and even the response seems bizarre.
• Police behaviour - In line with the above, even someone with less knowledge of police activity than myself (and I'm not an expert by any means) will likely find it a bit weird how a guy will get fired, becomes a PI and gets almost immediately taken back on as like a weird advisor. Not to mention detectives constantly doing things on their own or jumping to conclusions and a whole raft of things which break suspension of disbelief.

Deliverance doesn't exactly do anything extremely wrong. For all that I've listed a bunch of negatives above, they all come back to one pretty central issue: the writing isn't great.

The vast majority of the time it feels like the dev would write a bit, have an idea and then explain how the characters justify carrying out their idea. Then they come up with the next idea. It doesn't feel coherent and like a cohesive story.

I said above that the sexual scenes don't kill the pacing and that's likely largely because the pacing is actually pretty bad all on its own. Dialogue is often janky and stilted and things will one moment seem really drawn out and slow and then seem to go way to quickly the next. It eventually got to the point where I was starting to skip through a lot of what was happening just to get to the next sex scene and that's when you know something has gone wrong with the story.

Combine the rather frustrating pacing issues with regular difficulties in suspending disbelief and the game's story starts to drag.

I've said before, I'm here for the porn and so a good story is the icing on the cake. And at the very least the characters are all distinct, have their own motivations and are fun to interact with. And even more fun to fuck. So because the game is good enough for porn purposes, it raises it up to a decent standard. It simply can't reach that much higher.

An interesting story and a varied amount of kinks makes this one I always like to see updated. I'm surprised how fun the sharing scenes are and hope more games empower the secondary characters in the same way. Great renders for the most part and I'm really hoping things get especially depraved by the end.
