VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Derketo Lewd Housemates [v0.9] [DerketoGames]

Oh dear, I just finished this "game" (forced myself out of morbid curiosity to see if it improved over time, in short, no) and now my brain hurts from all of the IQ I lost.
This is the Dev's 5th "game" (and the only one that's finished, and finished abruptly), I'd have really thought that after four previous attempts his skills would have improved. If that's the case then the others must be dreadful.
I'm usually a "if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything" kinda guy but this is, IMO, garbage. Sure, the Engrish is strong in this one, and I understand that English isn't everyone's first language, but this is just sloppy with no signs of effort especially with the gender fluid he/her changing mid sentence.
The story is zzzzzz, animations are arghhhh and the girls are average at best.
In a nutshell, save yourself and run for the hills.

Basically a kinetic novel, but with minigames. So the only part that isn't a kinetic novel is something bad. Not only that the minigames have at parts a 50% chance no matter what you do it will be wrong. This just wastes your time.

Loads of nice models. Plot is a bit fanciful but who cares There is a bit where you wander about lost in the woods but read the hints to bet past it. It's not too difficult. Looking forward to the next updates

Well the "halloween special" sucks after getting through that the games goes into the plot and its well lame, not really worth playing. Kinda sad to waste an interesting porn game on atrocious plot even discounting some people not managing to get through the annoying useless area that really should have a skip prompt in front of it as its mostly useless, doesnt even work well for establishing the plot dump that comes later and made me quit.

TLDR: Renders and character are alright, ruined by "plot" and terrible interactive moments.

Interesting game, at first -- okay plot, cute girls,reasonable amount of sexy content. The Engrish is pretty rough, but I can endure that much.
Then comes the whole forest thing. This section is a game-breaker. The game gives no hints as to what the player should even be doing, just leaves you wandering around a forest with two sets of directional choices. No matter what choices I made or in what order, I always ended up back at the start point. That's where I gave up on the game, because going in circles indefinitely just isn't entertaining.
Overall takeaway for the part I did get to play:
Characters: 3. The girls are cute, for the most part, and have at least an average level of effort spent on their personalities.
Story: 3. Average, not exceptional but not terrible either.
Gameplay: 2. Standard Ren'py game but with endless grind. Couldn't get past the forest... minigame? event? ... whatever it was. That section completely breaks immersion.
Replay Value: 0. None. Game deleted before I got anywhere close to finishing the available content due to excessive frustration and boredom.
Overall rating: 2. Barely. Mostly because the girls actually are cute and have personalities.

The plot is somehow both clichéd and nonsensical at the same time. The generic models are always shown in bad, unflattering lighting and in visually unappealing environs. The animation is absolutely horrific; completely unfappable. No bells and whistles: no gallery, no good gameplay elements (though there are some bad ones), can't set anyone's ages, and so on.

All in all an uncreative waste of what little effort has been put in it. Just skip it.

Story 2/5
Cant say theres much worth while in the story, MC moves into a house full of girls and fucks em all, theres no romance, no relationship build up, just a mindless fuckfest with 0 emotions which makes for a really boring game.

Which also means its an all out kinetic novel and not taged as such, so expect forced LIs, Forces Sex scenes, Forced Fetishes, Forced anal and so on you get the idea.

To make it even more idiotic its full of fake choices that just leads to game-over its pointless and only annoying.
Also has some i guess you can call it mini games? or maze shit that can make you quite the game since theres no logic just spam click shit and hope to progress, it adds no value other then more annoyance.

Girls 4/5
Well my favorits are smols and this game has alot of them, theres even a bit of diversity in builds but not much most are smols.

Animations 3/5
Pretty average animations.

Music 0/5
Silent game so it gets a bit boring.

Choices 0/5
Fake choices and everything is forced, think of this as a pure kinetic novel.

Game would need to improve alot to make it any good or even remade with real choices and no stupid maze stuff either, ill give it 2 stars just for having alot of smols but thats about it.
