Ren'Py - Depravity [v0.62 Public] [Dante]

In this "game", there are hardly distinguishable girls with tits larger than their heads, that's it. I cannot relate to the MC, there's no development, you either grind endlessly or get a bland sex scene all of a sudden, with no involvement on your side, everyone just wants to fuck you. There are so many other games with actual story progression and character bonding, don't waste your time on this. Also, the males here are so damn irritating, if you've ever played a HS game, you've seen these ugly mugs a couple dozen times and by now they make you throw up. One star for female models, the rest just sucks.

I really don't see anything really unique about this game. The art style is a little bit different than most 3D VNs, but imo, in a bad way. Story is your usual VN story involving incest and the main character is not very well written.

first game i ever found background music with someone sing it.
and it might be good for native English speaker.
but it not work for me. when I play VN I need concentration.
i need to translate it to my mother language in my head.
and this game music make it harder to concentrate.

The story is great so far, the character models looks very beautiful (the ladies atleast for me).
What needs improvement for me probably is that the expression lacks something. Maybe add more body poses and not just facial expressions. Perhaps on the next games or as this game progresses on.

Review:

Music: 10/10
The music is a Banger, his skills are Real.

Graphics: 10/10
Has one of the most beautiful graphics on this site.

Storyline: 7.5/10
It's neat. (Better than most games Story on this site, imho)

Gameplay: 8.5/10
Unique, the Navigation is intuitive.

Characters: 9/10
They are qualitative on the high side.


Overall:
9/10
This game is top and the dev does everything himself for now
(This includes most of the music (except for pop songs), as far as i know); thus he has full artistic control over his game.


TLDR:
This game is up there with games like A House In The Rift, so go play it!

I'll be honest.
I only got the game because I'm searching by the "trap" tag.

And I GOT THIS. what a hidden gem.

I'm seriously don't know how this game isn't on top trending.
I've played so many AVN games before, this game has massive potential.

RATE

Graphics: 10/10
One of the best right here.

Storyline: 6/10
It's okay. Could do better.

Gameplay: 7/10
A little bit hard to gain money. But overall is unique. I could see this gameplay inspired from some popular games.

Characters: 8/10
So beautifully made! Their personality could do some "realistic" aspect tho.

Kinks: 9/10
Great. Loved how sensual they are! Also, so bold to include trap in this. It would be good to add some more fetishes.

Music: 9/10
One of the aspect that many developers tend to forget. The music build the momentum. Although some music is desync with the story but overall it's great.

Overall:
8.9/10
This game is unique. But definitely a top trending contender.
Pretty surprised it's not yet there.

Gonna keep this game as my 2nd favorite in this forum at the moment.
As I'll keep watching the progression.
Good work Dante! Keep it up!

Review as of version 0.56c

Pros:
+ Overall visually appealing
+ Some of the best HS characters among the games based on it
+ Decent writing

Cons:
- Music. Oh god, it's the worst.
- UI definitely needs more work
- VERY short for a game that's according to its current version halfway done

In-Depth:
This was an interesting experience to say the least. More so in a good way than not. But let's start with the things I didn't like.

First, the music is atrocious. I honestly don't remember the last time I turned it off in a game, so this was a first in a looong time. Usually even if the music is bad, it's just a background noise, but here it's actually distracting. I hate it so much. And even when you turn it off, it starts playing when you open your BCC app on a phone.

Which brings me to the second point: UI.
It's serviceable, but far from good. Huge text, but in contrast - tiny icons. The text on the phone sometimes doesn't fit the borders. The interactable objects aren't immediately obvious until you realize that it's only doors and PC, so it's more of a new game problem, but still.

And of course there's a lack of content. But I don't count it as a serious minus until I see the full game, so... meh... but so far it's very short. I think the girls have maybe 3 quests until it's over. So if it is a halfway point as the version number as of writing this review suggests, then it will be an incredibly short experience. But like I said, we'll see when it's done.

Other than that, I loved this game.
I don't think I need to tell you that it looks great, you can see the screenshots.
Some of the best HS characters I've seen in these types of games. And the backgrounds are also nice, crisp and don't feel like an afterthought.
The animations aren't too imaginative, but you can't expect every developer to go through the pain of making them unique. And the animation quality is drastically worse compared to the rest of the game. But personally, I don't see animations as a necessary part of the game, so it doesn't bother me much as long as static images are pretty. And they are.

The story is... idunno... I actually have no idea what it's about. So far it doesn't seem too interesting. But it is well written, so I have fun reading dialogues and descriptions.

The fact that MC gets corrupted more so than corrupting others, and not in a femdom way, is actually rather refreshing. I'm not sure I'd call it enjoyable, I like having more control over the characters I play, but refreshing nonetheless.
The other characters are... hmm... I guess they aren't necessarily unique, but have interesting twists here and there that make them memorable. Just as an example, when you have a mother character in these games, she's usually either a housewife or working in some unknown office job. Here she's a model. It's a little thing, but little things are exactly what makes characters stand out.
Kaira and Caroline are great of course. And Veronica and Olivia have my kind of stories, so I love them too. But what I didn't expect is to like Nicole. She is still far from being my favourite, but in any other game I'd just ignore her and move on, because so much about her is a turn-off for me. And yet, not here.
In the same vein, I have to say, while it's usually not my thing in the slightest, to the point of being one of the very few complete turn-offs, I really enjoy Camille so far and want to see where it goes eventually. So congratulations, this is only the second game that made me not outright say no to this type of character. I'd say it's an achievement.
Both Nicole and Camille are a proof that good writing and pretty models can overwrite personal limitations. Because here I enjoy them, where somewhere else would hate.

Overall, I'd say that this game is worth trying. The gripes I have with it are fairly insignificant when compared to enjoyment I got. So yeah, it's an easy recommendation.

Great game, stellar work on the characters, one of the best games out there graphically speaking.

Was expecting a straight-up incest story but I got surprised how much I liked the "side" characters - especially Caroline and Nicole.

Story-wise is my only "negative", only because I think that everything is wrapped in a big mistery - and it seems Nicole is aware of everything. I hope that eventually we'll be able to discover some points.

Congratz danteworks for this great game of yours, can't wait for the next updates!

I have played a lot of games like Depravity and I have to say that it is one of my personal favorites. Depravity is a graphically beautiful game with a memorable story. It is very unique and separate from other titles of its genre. I was very impressed upon playing it and immediately fell for it. I found myself playing it for hours. Depravity felt like a fresh breath of air in a populated genre.

Depravity may be a more story-focused game however that is not inherently bad. I found myself absorbed in the story within minutes. This shows that there has been a lot of time put into the storyline and sadly that is a rarity with these kinds of games. Its story is what makes it memorable and sets it apart from other games. It is not just the same porn game cliches over and over again. Instead, Depravity piques your interest and grabs your attention. However, it is not afraid to tangent and attempt to crack a good laugh out of the player.

Characters are well written and have unique personas that make them seem more "real". I find it quite weird, but I found them quite convincing, for a game of this type. Some of them were almost relatable.

The UI part of the game is quite simple but isn't an eyesore. It is very minimalistic and not very invasive. This helps with keeping the immersion which nicely complements both the story and the atmosphere.

Aside from the amazing story and art, the music is alright. I believe that it is well picked and helps with building the atmosphere. It is way better than having absolute silence for sure. However, it could use a bit more variety. I understand that this is hard to accomplish though.

Additionally, I like the fact that there are published books about the game. I have not really encountered this with any other games that I have played. It is really nice to get a different perspective and behind the scenes look as well as being able to further read into details.

Take this review with a grain of salt as this is my very first serious review of a game. However, despite this, I really wanted to make one and try to analyze the different aspects on a deeper level.

If you are still unsure of whether the game is worth your time or not, I encourage you to give it a try. It all comes down to personal preference in the end.

Even though this game takes time to be worked on the Developer really is working on this game and just for that I just say a big gg to Dante but even though the game itself is amazing i've seen game with more people working on it at a 0.5-ish version that were badder had bad graphics less content and a bad story while this game is just only 0.55.1 (at this time) and already has alot of content with girl that are all interesting and there is pretty much a girl for anyone you really have the choice and even if you don't like the main characters the side characters are really good and there is even one of the only Cons of the game is the update Frequency that is not always every 2 months but i know that the developer is working his hardest on the game yes for people who doesn't like Incest you might be deceived and yet i'm not into incest or step siblings fetish but i am still having pleasure out of this game because you don't even need to think that these are your Family members because you can just rename them but yes there will always be talk about your relation with different character Mom/Landlady and Sister/Roommate but after all it isn't too annoying and the game is truly a pleasure to play 5/5

This game is exceptional and sits firmly in my top 10 VN games.

The Good:
- Some of the best artwork and animations you will see in any game.
- The girls are just beautiful, words don't do them justice.
- Fun story, really hot scenes and snappy dialogue.

The Bad:
- It has the usual sandbox limitations and drawbacks. Skipping parts of the day to get to the next activity etc.

The Ugly:
- Some people seem to struggle with money making which I had no problem with. However danteworks has given plenty of help or 'cheats' in game to help those who need it.

This is a must play game. There is true talent in the artwork and animations. It's a real joy to play and super hot as well!

Good Points
+ We have hot-looking girls/women.
+ We have well-made sex scenes and animations for them.
+ We have good music/songs.

Bad Points
- While the story seems interesting it's not that original or well-written.
- The development style makes no sense, you romance or ''romance'' with the girls, talk about coffee, some stuff about life, etc, yet in the end, paths become depravity paths and girls become depraved with zero progress with the ''depravity'' part... Which is quite weird along with making no sense at all.
- The game lacks diversity and real love interests, there is only corruption (depravity) content, and even as a player you try to make non-depraved choices you still face with same content in the end and can't get any non-depraved path with the girls.
- The depravity stat makes no sense at all, literally, everything aside from being a coward and acting as an angel counts as being depraved, and even if you do nothing considered depraved by the game and have negative depravity in the end things end up the same and you see depraved actions done by girls, Kaira's striptease or Amanda's going all out option, etc.
- Update v0.60 was terrible and the content (updates, versions) we got after that were the same as well. Like what's up with we are getting long-awaited Kaira content and the whole content is based around turning her into another cheap girl with all that naked striptease scene in the club full of men? Or again long-awaited Amanda content being about her going all out to cheap women route? I'm not even gonna talk about how terrible and nonsense Amy's content is or how shallow the side girls contents are. And the game didn't become bad just content and story-wise either, we even lost some basic features like having decent translation, and after v0.60 dialogues started feeling kind of separate from each other and meaningless. Most of the scenes and the game's current storytelling/dialogues don't make any sense now.
- Most choices don't matter at all and the game forces you to remake your choice in one way or another. Amanda's final route choice is one of them, the game literally forces you to choose the ''going all out'' route over and over again... So what's the point of having that choice if the game is going to force your choice to Depravity choice even if you try to choose the non-depravity one? Having no choice over big route changes like this and they are being unavoidable makes no sense at all.
- Updates take too much time and bring disappointing content with it.
- It's full of bugs, render bugs, and some choices leading other paths (like choosing something in the Cyber Club menu and the game sending you Olivia's content, etc) or numbers (money, etc) showing wrong or not getting spent when you spent it.

For The End
Honestly, there was a time when this game had great potential, and I even gave this game 4 star rate, but things have changed, currently this game is terrible and only good for quick release just because of girls/women looking hot and sex scenes and animations being good, but wouldn't call this thing game at all.

amazing game all characters are well made great story characters all have great personalities amazing bodies to i really enjoyed Saffron it was really hard to pick my favorite character i love them all one of my top games i highly recommend this game to everyone

It is a great game since in terms of the diversity of characters it is very bariated and the content of these is very good also that it does not exclude content for the main characters since these receive a good amount of content the story is interesting I kept you waiting for what is happening and conganas to know more, the only thing that could be requested from me is a little more interaction at night with the main characters but otherwise it is excellent

Very pogchamp game, loved the story, great characters and character interactions. Side characters have a good amount of content and not neglected in favor of main characters. Music choice is also excellent and fits the different moods of the game well.

Depravity - A Masterclass in Lewd Storytelling

In a seemingly endless sea of cut paste lewd games, Depravity is a shining beacon of lust on the horizon, Danteworks has skillfully crafted a world of pure lewd fantasy & populated it with lovable incredibly well fleshed out characters, expertly modeled well endowed beautiful women & tied them all together with a rich tapestry of interwoven believable stories that not only demonstrate a love for the genre but also a depth of knowledge & talent that can only yield further greatness down the road.

Experience one of the games that will establish the gold standard by which all other lewd games are measured.

Great concept about the game and the animation have no flaws, a little bit grindy in gameplay but if you learn the trick in buy and sell the bc you have no problems in money and the soundtrack is the best part i discover many great song because of you. Keep up the good work

Well, what can i say? Camille is just so lovely. It's hard to find a game with this type of content, even so when it's well done like in here.
But i just can't bring myself to not roll my eyes at the way over done incest cliché. "Landlady" is smoking hot, a model, and never managed to find a new partner after her husband died? Bullshit. She catches her "tenant" fucking in the living room and just can't stop thinking about his dick after? BULLSHIT. Just wwwwwaaaaayyyyy out of touch with reality. I'm tired of the same thing every game, you know? But if you like this kind of thing well this game is a full course meal i guess.
But Dante did a really good job with the trap, such a rare kink to find in a game like this.

Depravity is a nice game, that i enjoy very much
The models in the game are really nice.
Story is FeelsGoodMan and isn't (too) drama loaded, which is nice.

Game is made well, didn't find any bugs(or if i did i can't remember, so it wasn't anything bad^^).

Give it a try you won't regret it
