VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Depth's Revival [Extended Harem finale] [Seacth]

Overall 2 star game.Just models are average.story is just bullshit of talking with this imaginary voice in head .no closeup creampie scenes .Need to work on these areas to make it way better .Dev needs to clean his brain and work on skills to develop better games than this one.

this game was on its way to becoming a classic must-play for anyone who is a Harem Fan great LIs, Drama in the story came mostly from outside the family, and choices to tailor kinky side content to the player's wants.

Sure it had some hick ups along the way programming-wise, but which game hasn't.
Renders are clean, and the Lis are diverse and beautiful.

It was an all-around enjoyable Harem romp. Even one without any girl-on-girl stuff from the main cast. I would have given it 5 starts. Like I said in the beginning it was underway to be a must-play.

But then Neil Druckmann's ghost, curse upon his soul, somehow possessed the Dev and gave us this finale. (No idea how Neil does it he's still alive for god's sake)

The Final update is akin to a kid flipping the table after someone is close to a kid who has to leave soccer to go home, stabbing the ball so the others can't play anymore. Or casually walking into the room and flipping the table while the rest of the family sits at dinner.

the game still gets 2 stars because despite my massive disappointment I can't bring myself to give the game 1 star even if that's how I feel about it now.

The girls are interesting visually, but are not very different each one from another. And they are a lot, but not too much. All girls are either in the main harem, side girls, or late additions to the harem, except one which is totally written for the main story events, but happens too late in the story.


What is "lacking" is :
- the harem: it's good but there is no tension. At the moment it appears, it is easy and accepted by every girl. That's missing the point of a harem. And it's too bad because at the very start of the harem, two girls (mother and teacher) were competing. That tension should have been explored a lot more and used to create some interesting stakes.
- Sex scenes. Numerous, they are, sure. But all the scenes are blowjob/titjob/vaginal/handjob, except one so it's lacking diversity/originality and there are only a few number of scenes where it's more than 1 girl at the time.

Otherwise, the game goes directly for its purpose, and avoid slow and uninteresting scenes. It's a quality in itself, but would need more refining for a better score.

Ive been following the game for a while it was never great or special, it was just a typical harem game with HS graphics like there are hundreds around, those you just need to turn off your brain a bit to actually enjoy and can't really take seriously.
The game was decent at delivering that for a while, there are some plots and women that make it a bit interesting but taking into consideration all the renders/writing/dialogs/ story, it was just a decent 3* game or maybe 4* if you are a harem fan.
Now, after so many years the game is finally over, with one of the worst, badly implemented and no build up/ out of nowhere endings I've seen. Honestly it doesn't even fell real, like its a joke, but its not, that's the ending.
I can't, in good conscience, recommend anyone to invest their time in a story that is going to end like that, specially when the rest isn't even that great either. Id say just ctrl skip and jack off to the sex scenes if you like the women in the preview pics but dont bother with the rest, it's not worth it.

I was hooked at the begining of the game by the materialisation of the unconsiousness of the MC. I endured the poor script quality hoping it would improve over time. But it doesn't and become more and more ridiculous with time.

Only thing improving are the visuals, a lot of animations and sex scenes improve too, that's it. It becomes unbearable.

2 stars for the visuals and some good FAP materials after chapter 3. You can simply skip all content between sex animation and only enjoy it

TL/DR: Decent game overall, but pregnancy choices are fake. Play if you enjoy harem and pregnancy. Play halfway if you enjoy harem, but not pregnancy. Don't play at all if you dislike both, or enjoy harem but not leaving a game unfinished.

It's a pretty decent harem game that is just barely above average in most aspects. If you like maledomesque harem, definitely give it a try.

The actual content I believe is worth 4 stars, but I'm making it three, because in the first few chapters, the game offers options about cumming inside or outside with flavour text that suggests it will make the difference between pregnancy or not.
Suffice it to say, that it does not.

Now, I'm not a fan of pregnancy content, but let it be clear that I'm subtracting a star for the fake choices, not the fetish.

That said, let this be a warning for those of you who enjoy the harem genre, but do not have a pregnancy fetish: I suggest you stop playing after the six month timeskip, or simply not play at all.

There's plenty of content to enjoy before that timeskip, but afterwards it's all pregnancy, all the time. With every single woman in the game.
And that's kind of a shame, because after skipping through all those scenes I saw some pretty good ones that, for me, were simply ruined by the massive baby bellies

This is a solid average game. Renders are decent, story starts off more interesting but loses steam as the interactions with the girls take over, a lot of sex scenes with meh quality.

Where the game shines is it's genuine commitment to harem content. It tries to build a harem somewhat realistically (for harem porn game standards) and it gives you a whole story of harem. None of that BS where the harem is only for a short period around and including the ending.

For harem fans 100% jump in and enjoy. For anyone else? Eh. There's worse games on here for sure.

I had to lower this a star since i just replayed it and found out that you if you dont pick ALL girls game will have no ending, it says no more content wth xxx solo path yet but issue is game is complete so dev desided to fuck the fans leaving them hanging without finishing the game for solo paths.

Normaly i like most harem games, but i want to be able to build my harem as i see fit, problem with this one is you cant pick freely and if you dont pick all you wont have a harem game but a single LI game.

The story is about average, no real twist just the standard incest and girls trowing them selfs at MC, so a bit boring but the pregnancy and decent virgin scenes could make up for that.

I hate big or huge tits, its just a huge turn-off to me personaly so i would never pick those types ever, so this game is more for those that like young and old, big and small, ugly and saggy and i am just not into everything dont think many is but who knows, thats why i want to pick who joins the harem.

I also hate when LIs are forced on you as the player and it feels even more stupid in this one since some that are forced can be dumped later, which can only make you wonder why they where forced in the first place, but dumping them later just wont fix anything, by that time ive already lost interrest in the game from the forced scenes.

Normaly i never go above 2 stars with games that forces LIs or kinks on the player but this one is one of the few, if not the first ill go above 2.

Reason for this is that it has a really nice pregnancy part in the game, but at the same time it has the problem with the forced harem if you want a harem and when you dont want a forced one you wont see much to it.

Animations are pretty good, even has virgin/deflower scene with a bit of blood, its pretty rare and also one of the reason i went 1 star up.

Theres a good amount of content as well.

I would proberly have given this 5 stars if you could build a harem of your choice and if no one was forced on you.

Ch.X

A really great Harem game for those who prefer a lot of lewd scenes rather than the story. Because this game surely has a very simple plot and is mainly focused on the lewd scenes and the harem aspect more.

There are a lot of LI's who are really cute and beautiful and all of them are optional. You can either have a single girl or a harem, simple as that.

The amount of content till now is really high, if anyone likes to play games for lewd content alone, without really giving any thought about story this is for them since we get a scene very frequently.

Overall a really good game for Harem lovers who love a game with simple heartwarming story, beautiful LI's and a lot of lewd scenes.

This is straigtht up the best harem game on the site. This is also the one if you are looking for a good pregnancy fetish game.

I generally tend to dislike harem stories because they tend to never go all the way where all the girls actually want to be the MCs harem. But this one takes it all the way. You can even get all of the pregnant. It is good in every other aspect too, so you can enjoy the harem aspect without getting distacted.

This is not an all around great VN, but if you want one that mainly focuses on harem while also having other "taboo" fetishes, this is the one to play.

v.CH.X

at best this game is a 3 star but for me just a two.
downloaded this for the N side of VN and found both lacking.

no plot beyond a basic harem/incest story. as run-of-the-mill as it gets.

the art is HS which means if you have played one before with this art you will see nothing new. HS lacks imagination and variety. cosmetics can be changed but scenes are cut and paste. played many so has zero appeal for me.

the writing/dialogue is not great but not bad either. with no plot to build on it does a serviceable job in delivery. no hook so just comes across as a bit dull.

no coding errors so that was a plus.

Depth's Revival [Ch. 9 Part 3] [Seacth]

I finally managed to catch up on this game.

This game has everything I like

Harem + incest + romance + pregnancy

There are of course a few things that could be way better.

The dev should really hire a proof reader.
Another one would be that the three side girls have not enough content.

Otherwise very good.
MC cares alot about his girls and genuinely loves them.

Just another subpar game in a sea of similar titles. Harem, incest (with the patch, of course), making everyone pregnant, MC is a Gary Stu that has women falling at his feet and never fails, so on and so forth. You know the deal.

Much like other games of this ilk the writing is incredibly stilted, the sex is boring, the characters are one-dimensional, and the grammar is shaky at best.

Also, and this is entirely a nit-pick on my part, the MC's dick looks weird. The shaft is weirdly narrow and the head is disproportionately big compared to the rest. The scenes where you can see it from the side are particularly nightmare-inducing.

In conclusion, I don't think it's worth the read. Other games have done what this one attempts better.

So many things could have done better and made more sense.
This game by design is fucked beyond repair.
If dev decides to do a 180 one some of the writing decisions it is salvageable.
My suggestion is just remove the whole fucking "i aM yOuR SuBcoNsCioUs HURR DURR!!" thing. You dont even need to remove Serena. Just make her a demon or succubus or some shit, that can read your mind and give you minor superpowers. I guarantee you that would be less cringe than this.
Having said that. Oh boy where do i start with this game.
First time i played one of the earlier versions, it made me so mad, I was instantly gonna rate this 1/5 and throw it into trash.
I was like hey lets not be that harsh.
Lets wait couple more updates. let it marinate.
"Let him cook", if you will. But holy fuck it got worse.

I was hoping this new update would fix some of the most basic grammar errors. Mainly "your""you are""yourrearer!!!!!". And i had a dream, where some of the dumbest fucking plot points were re-written. But its was a long shot. who the fuck wrote this shit.
I remember trying it out just for the pregnancy content and gritting my teeth, just powering through painfully cringe writing. Then i remembered, why did i stop playing it in the first place. Even if you overlook all the stupid shit, the writing , the pacing,the characters, the character models, boring ass plot line. even if you forgive all of that. game feels so unfinished.
Now before you say "Duh, it is v0.00something ofcourse its unfinished"
What im trying to say by unfinished,
if the game had chapters. And lets say chapter one was from start - till MC got hit by Lera's car. Even the supposed finished "chapter one" feels half baked. It looks still under construction.
Thats why i stopped playing before;
-Hoping they would re-visit and polish early game.
-3-4 updates later, I try it out again.
-I see nothing fucking changed. Even the immersion breaking backpack glich from earliest version still there.
-fuckthisshitimout.jpeg

For all of its worth, there was an attempt. This almost looked like a great game from its cover. Taking care of your pregnant ladies and such..
Being a good responsible father etc..
But nah.
To even reach to that point you are constantly wrestling with shit plot.
Well thats life i guess.
I wish it was worth the effort,time and money.
With some polish here and there this game can make 3/5 tops.
Not more, not less.
When that happens i will change my rating.
Will it happen? I don't know.
Maybe next year.

Review for version [Ch. 9 Part 2]
(incest patch enabled)
(all girls harem impregnation route)

Disclaimer: I play games with the full intent of enjoying the games for what they are so I try to stay away from hard suggestions and do my best to appreciate what is given. Deeper dive into aspects I like was too long and contain minor spoilers so I tagged them "minor spoiler".

TL;DR: Not that deep, English decent up until more recent content where it's a bit rough, like 3/4ths of the game is sex scenes, mostly light hearted and simple, good models, great harem and impregnation. Play with that in mind and it should be enjoyable unless you're expecting much more.

With that said, this is absolutely a porn logic fantasy (as in wish fulfillment) harem game. Most choices are reserved to whether you want to pursue a girl or not and whether you will impregnate them along with some minor visual changes and sex scene options such as if/who will participate and watch and what hole you're using. Choices seem developed, but I can't speak too much on it since I didn't deviate from my desired route for very long before reloading a save as it's not my interest. If you're looking for a deep story and realism then you seriously won't get it here, it's mostly a fuck fest and it does it very well. You fuck A LOT in this version and though I didn't have a speedrun time splitter, it felt like watching sex scenes most of the time and that's great if that's what you'd like to see. I definitely enjoyed it when that's what I decided to focus on. The start felt very rough and tense and I can't say I was the biggest fan, but it wasn't egregious and getting through it was well worth it for what came later, BUT if you mainly care about the sex scenes then it's easy enough to breeze by it as it isn't that deep and there is A LOT of porn worth seeing if you fundamentally like honey select models. Even if you generally dislike honey select, I'd still recommend it as they feel a lot more unique and well made than most others I've seen that have this lingering feeling of nostalgia because they have the same face of main girls from like 6 other games I've played (I like them anyways but that ain't an issue here).There's not much more to it than that, but there are three things that stood out to me and made me want to review it.




I may be looking into things way more than necessary, but I enjoyed it regardless. If you go into the game with tempered expectations and the right mindset for this kind of game then I hope you'll feel the same way.

One of the best harem games out there.

Pros:
Love Interests: The love interests are varies, and all of them are likable. Their models are well done.

Sex Scenes: This game has fantastic sex scenes. They are hot and intimate to the LI and MC. Additionally, this game has some of the best group scenes (it is extremely rare for group scenes not to go into a bi-fest, but this game pulls it off extremely well).

Renders: For a HS game, the renders are well done.

Neutral:
Choices: As of right now, there is only a harem path, so there is not much in terms of choices for LIs. However, for different things (lesbian, eye color, weight, etc.), the game respects the choice you choose, which is great.

Cons:
Story: The story is weakest part of this game. There is just little bits of drama thrown here and there that are quickly resolved (sometimes too quickly that it does not too much sense i.e. drug addiction). It is not bad as the story is not the main attraction.


Overall, one of the best harem games out there. The story is the weaker side but makes up with the harem side of things.

The renders are nice and most of the LI's are attractive. Unfortunately, there are several forced lewd scenes with characters I had no interest in. For the most part, actually, I didn't have any interest in a lot of the LI's for one reason or another. The forced scenes are with; a sex dream with Serena where she transforms into the mom, Sarah, and the teacher, Imogen where you can choose to be a dom or sub, and the teacher while Sarah watches. Besides Serena, I had no interest in the rest.

Honestly, I didn't make it that far after one more forced scene with Imogen and some other chick. You do get choices to reject the ones you are forced with later on, but at that point the story was already ruined for me.

Getting friends and family in a harem and pregnant, what's not to like? Models are decent if not great but the story is neat if straightforward. Having the option of LIs is there too for those who don't want to go full harem I guess.

One if not THE BEST game i've played. It has everything i want in a game Awesome graphics great sex scenes great dialog. The story is great it keep you intrested. I'm will to support the dev in any way i can to keep going. If there is a patreon i'm going to support. Need more games like this one.

[ Review subject to change. Review for Version 8.5 ]



TL;DR: I’ve really enjoyed my experience with Depth’s Revival so far and while it isn’t complete what is there so far is really promising! It is a beautifully presented Harem game that is honest about its intention. As a result our romantic interests very much throw themselves into the harem with little difficulty. It ticks the goody-goody fetish boxes well and it gets to the good stuff early.

The Good: (If you patch it) Incest! And the mother is both beautiful and has a great personality. The harem aspect is sprinkled with both love and lust which I really appreciate. There is pregnancy as well which I look forward to seeing develop. I do feel like there is genuine care between the characters involved.

The Average: The dialogue, especially regarding bringing people into the harem, leaves some to be desired. Only some occasional friction occurs, but it is quickly solved. Some of the plot points are not very well explored and are over before I get my head around what happened or why.

The Bad: So far in development the game is very strict on getting you down the harem route which I was a little disappointed by. The game so-far has much less content if you try to go down the non-harem routes. The creator has said he intends to finish the Harem routes first before developing single character routes.



Thorough Review:

Story: Competent

This is a typical male protagonist discovers he has powers and uses them to get women sort of deal. Except he doesn’t use his powers to corrupt or enslave people, but instead to help him say the right things to make women fall in love with him, and even accept that he has other lovers. There is also a sub-plot about why the vision of the woman who appeared and gave him these powers look the same as another woman we meet later in the story, but that is not finished yet. Other than that, this is a story about a boy who builds a harem. The creator has been clear from the start that this is the game isn’t really about much more than that, which is fine.

Characters: Great*

*but still needs a lot of development! The MC isn’t a complete asshole which is a massive plus. All the characters are beautiful and have distinct personalities. There is still room for growth here, so I hope to see more of them blossoming into fully realised characters as the game develops. Other than that, only really three characters have any substantial character-changing development in the game so far, the rest are more mild developments from not wanting to have sex with the MC into wanting to have sex with the MC. I am hoping for more on this front. I have a particular love for the characters Jane, Imogen and Freya and hope they all get more content, especially together.

Gameplay: Competent

It is a visual novel in the truest sense. You don’t have much choice of what happens or where, but some limited control within the scenes of what you want to do. This mostly boils down to ‘do you want to pursue this person romantically/sexually?’ or ‘do you want to have sex now?’. It works but isn’t anything new.

Visuals: Amazing!

I really love the character renders and the animations in this game. This style of character design, that is a mix of the anime style and more realistic humans, is one that I feel clicks just right. Some story scenario scenes however are somewhat stiff because during story the game is very much a slideshow like most VNs. During sex scenes, however, it is beautiful mix of still image transitions and animated lovemaking!

Summary: Great!
This game has great potential and I think it is well worth playing through once or twice to set your expectation for the future of the game's development. It is hands down one of the more visually beautiful games I've played on here so far, and with time it will probably look even better.

Wishlist:

> More Jane!

> More Imogen, especially lovey-lovey femdom!

> More Freya!

> More of the above but together!

> The game has extremely cute cuddling and sensual kissing scenes. I want more of that. A LOT more of that!
