Ren'Py - Doors [v0.1 P3] [The Neuron Project]

Very nice game

The game evolves mostly around 2 families. With diverse personalities and unique quirks. Some side characters does make an appearance every now and again but never overstay their welcome.

I like that your choices actually make a difference, especially in the Part 1 of the game (But also later on)

The game is currently divided in three sections.

Part 1:
Graphics are a bit dated (But still sexy)
There are a lot of choices in the game that leads to different paths.
The downside of the choices is you can lock yourself out of a certain path very easily. (However, using the mod helps with that and also, I would recommend using the new instead of import save function when starting part 2. This will ensure that all the imported choices are to your liking.

Part 2:
The graphics are a lot better and character designs are improved as well (Very slight changes, so it does not detract). Having said that, the GF LI changes were a bit too much for me. Even though technically she still has the same features, the changes in her design made her look like a different person to me. But all the other characters were 10/10

Part 3 is only an intro, so too early to comment.

In general, I love everything about this game. The LI (Especially Gina!) are fantastic. The pacing is very good. The characters are realistic.
The scenarios are also more realistic then normal. (You are not the only male in the universe). There is a tone of options, and the sex scenes are pretty good and sexy. Then there is a whole Sci-fi part of the game that is very intriguing and mysterious.

The game is not without it's flaws. My main gripes is the extreme locking of paths in Part 1 and the change in design (And personality.... a bit) of one of the characters. In part 2 the game is the opposite of part 1 and maybe too few choices and variations.

In terms of NTR... Not really

Still, its a highly enjoyable for me and despite its flaws still gets an easy 5.

Recommended for people that does not mind other dicks in the game (Even though I think it's optional/minimal. There is a bi (gay) option as well, but that is not my cup of tea, so I disabled it)

I tried to get into this game, I really did. However, the writing is simply flat out awful. I don't see how people can wax poetic about the writing here, even games that focus more on the sex than the story can tell a better story than this game. It's filled with grammatical and spelling errors, that completely take away from the story. The story goes from sounding like a child wrote it, to something halfway decent, just to plummet back down like a child wrote it. The renders are decent, but most of the models look a little weird. The biggest offender is Riley, she just looks off. The brother does too, but the fact that he has a disease kind of explains it a little bit. The start of the story was actually written pretty well, but as soon as you leave the institute, it plummets right off a cliff. I didn't get that far before I closed the game to write this review. The continuity errors in the game really threw me off as well. Such as talking about a girl with horns, who it talks about, before it even glimpses you a single render of what the MC is even talking about. Overall, I gave this a two, because you can tell that there is effort being put into the game. Despite the fact that I couldn't bring myself to care enough to experience it.

I'm typically not into sharing games because it's not typically my cup of tea. But I still check them out because I don't want to be one of those assholes that just casts judgement without base knowledge.
This one hits the marks though. Not real big on the bisexuality or homosexuality routes so I didn't check those out. But I did play through all of the other available content and I was very happy with what I saw.
MC goes into a coma for 4 years then spends a couple years recovering away from family. Well while he's away the sister is up to sinister and sexy shenanigans. It's pretty hot. But in the background there is also a paranormal storyline that delves into a dimensional world. I really look forward to see where that's going.
Anyways, if you are a harem only person than this won't be your cup of tea. By the time this game reaches is conclusion everyone is gonna be diddling each other in this free for all VN.

The premise of the game offers an intriguing and emotionally heavy narrative, where the main character (MC) wakes up from an extended coma only to realize that, during his absence, his family has essentially forgotten about him. This core concept, while potentially compelling, is consistently undercut by the way it is handled within the game. The MC's repeated reminders of being forgotten feel almost tragic, but they fail to fully resonate due to the lack of depth and development in the writing.

One aspect that detracts from the emotional impact is the way the love interests are written. While it's understandable that the characters would share past experiences and exploits, the focus on detailing their sexual encounters, particularly the mention of multiple orgasms, often feels disconnected and lacks the nuance needed to make it meaningful. It detracts from the emotional core of the narrative and instead feels like a series of shallow anecdotes that don’t add much to character development or the plot. This becomes especially disheartening as the game leans heavily on these revelations, almost as if to shock or titillate rather than to serve a deeper story purpose.

The gameplay itself can be perplexing at times. There are moments where scenes loop unnecessarily, or fragments of previous scenes inexplicably resurface later. This not only disrupts the flow but also creates a sense of confusion that detracts from the overall immersion. The game’s structure feels unfinished, with several issues that compromise its overall experience. The inconsistent progression of scenes—sometimes appearing out of order—further diminishes the sense of coherence, as characters will often show up without being properly introduced, behaving as though they have known the MC for much longer than they actually have.

In terms of technical aspects, the game is plagued with numerous spelling and grammatical errors. While some of these mistakes can be overlooked, others make certain lines difficult to decipher, which adds unnecessary frustration to the experience. The choice of white text on a white background for sections like the save menu and preferences is another poor design decision that makes the text hard to read, hindering the user experience.

Another noteworthy issue is the inability to change the names of certain characters. For example, despite my attempts to rename the MC's mother, the game stubbornly kept using the name "Scarlett," which led to a sense of inconsistency. Additionally, the way the MC refers to his parents by their first names feels unnatural and detracts from the immersion. These inconsistencies are further compounded by the sudden appearance of characters in scenes, as well as the absence of logical progression or explanation for their behavior.

While the game is filled with potential, especially in terms of its plot, the execution leaves much to be desired. The slow development cycle, with over four years since the initial release and only a few content updates, speaks to a lack of attention to detail and polish. The game's flaws—ranging from narrative issues to technical errors—prevent it from reaching its full potential. With proper editing, proofreading, and attention to continuity, this could easily be a five-star game. However, as it stands, it feels incomplete and rushed, with a great deal of untapped potential.

Ultimately, while there are moments where the game shows promise, the lack of polish and careful attention to detail makes it hard to fully invest in the story or its characters. It’s a game that, with more time and care, could have been a truly memorable experience, but for now, it falls short of its potential.

To be honest, this one didn't work for me but it's mostly a matter of personal taste, not necesarily a bad game. First things first, the story is pretty decently written and the narration is quite nice... but it's also terribly lengthy and bloated. The whole introduction, before your character even wakes up, is terrible long, full of exposition and with very little interest. And once the story starts moving it's a bit all over the place, combining in a not great way the supernatural with the daily and common. There are choices, but since I ended skipping through most of the text from a point on, can't say how much they impact on the results.

Renders are decent, but I don't like the character models and some of the facial expressions in this. It's a taste thing of course, but they don't work well for me. I didn't get to see any animations so can't talk about those. Music is kinda meh and there seem to be no other sounds. And I found no bugs or problems while playing.

So, all in all, this one is not for me.

It is all over the place. There is no story, no world to follow, characters pop-up out of nowhere, every moving thing is horny and DWF. It all feels like the imagination of a very horny teenager. It was ok at the very beginning of the game and it managed to become progressively bad. Now it feels like watching a plane crushing down. I wish the dev success in the next project and I hope he understands that you need a plot to create tension.

The language has a very emo vibe You know the way awkward kids think they are being deep and different by wearing black makeup and talking down like they are teaching something. That vibe.

Theres a big lack of freedom. The sex come overly easy because of the whole 14yo emo look-im-an-adult thing. The freedom is missing because EVERY choice has at least one *Route locked*. It's an all-or-nothing scenario where if you dont say the cringy thing the dev wants you to say, then future choices are locked

The renders and models are excellent. Models are varied, only a couple of btba ones, so you can avoid. The skin is detailed in closeups. Sex scenes are awkward though and the quality in those renders can vary.

I've played the game up to Part 2 version 0.3.3, including Part 1, and I'm partially disappointed.

Let me start with the good things. The graphics are simply stunningly good, even a little more so in part 2 than in part 1. The story is understandable, for a sex story, and is logical and well thought out.
However, at the beginning I thought very hard about whether I should play the game because I wanted to play as gay as possible. Many comments said that there was a lot of gay content, so I gave it a try. I also used the walkthrough mod to make it easier to get to the gay content and skip the straight content. Unfortunately, the gay content is almost non-existent. Of course there were a lot of hot pictures of naked or almost naked men, but that's not enough for a game of this size. The only "gay" scene was a mutual jerk-off scene at the end of part 0.3.3. Maybe I made wrong decisions from time to time, despite the mod, and there are more gay scenes, who knows. Each time I tried to get the brother, stepfather, Joe, the bartender or Gallard with more affection, but with little success.
All in all, it's a nice, heterosexual game, but I probably won't pursue it any further. As nice as the graphics and story are, it doesn't suit my taste. Nevertheless, everyone else has fun following the further development of the game.

I'm sorry but I don't think I even made it out of the intro.

The writing has a lot of 'I am 14 and this is deep' kinda energy. Don't get me wrong - I don't inherently mind some philosophic wankery, in fact I'm all for it.

But if you wanna get someone hooked on your story maybe you don't open by pontificating on the importance of frickin' doors of all things. Especially when your game is called Doors, which makes the whole thing extra intolerably on the nose.

In any event maybe if you can bring yourself to play more than I could, you might find a good game. I suppose I'll never know and that'll be my loss.

Version Played: v. 0.3.3 part 2
Time Played: 4 or 5 hours across both parts
Gallery mode?: No (No mod either)

I'm sure that I must have passed this game by many times as I scrolled through the new game updates on the site, but what finally got me to check it out was probably a rec for somewhere that highlighted sharing games. While I can enjoy a good harem game here and there, I think that my biggest kink has to be sharing, and this game delivers it really well. I think it's worth noting that as my playthrough focused mainly only on those routes (when I could unlock them, more on that later). I'm also happy to report that the overall characterizations are really good and that includes fully fleshed out male characters as well!

Positives
+ Attractive LIs of all genders and several (though body types mainly focus on fit people with little to no aging present)
+ Tons of content types to gay, bi, trans and sharing (yay)
+ Story is engaging and interesting
+ Characterizations are on point

Neutral
= Tons of variables and branches means it can be difficult to pin down and know what route you're on and thus get the scenes you want to see

Negative
- Writing can be wordy past the point of engagement

To address the neutral point first, this is actually a negative for me since I like to know what routes I'm on and how to get certain scenes. Case in point, I could have sworn I was on a route to get a certain sharing scene, but when I got there, it said "route locked" so I restarted, choosing not to import my data, and managed to get it, taking me slightly out of the moment since I had to ffwd. To the dev's credit, the scene was totally worth it (fuckin' buckets, bro), but it was irritating that I had to jettison my old save data to get it. The reason this stays simply neutral is that I think some people enjoy puzzling out how to get scenes and I'm an impatient fapper, so my bug may be your feature. Note, I did use the mod and *still* had trouble getting the routes I wanted.

For the writing, it's generally good, but it definitely shows the writer isn't a native speaker and some conversations last long after the initial point is made (for example the conversation with Aiko). Furthermore a lot of the character dialog is very "quippy" and this is very YMMV; less would be a lot more in this case.

Warts aside, this game gets an easy 4 from me (more like a 4.5) simply because of how it treats sex and sexuality as something to be shared and explored. If any of the tags get your motor going, I can almost guarantee you'll find something or someone to cum to here.

Not to devs: Nothing to say but fantastic work! I'm really loving what you have here! To nitpick, it would be nice to have a gallery mode and somewhere that showed relationship values/routes you're on. It would be nice if at least a couple of the girls had some bush, but by and large, please keep doing what you're doing!

Dude, there's two parts to this game already and almost no content. Not only that but the choice system at first seems great, but in the end just leads you into seeing no content at all, or very little unless you pick exactly the right path for w/e kink you're into. So it just ends up locking you out of more content than it allows you to potentially enjoy. Which I guess is great if you want to do numerous walkthroughs to see it all. But the writing and extremely rough character models is definitely not good enough for me to care.

Though the sci-fi/fantasy elements help this game to stand out. I do find the more "normal" character interactions to be much more interesting. There are a few things that I wish were different in this game. I would love to give this game 5 stars because I did enjoy it and am really looking forward to new updates. But, I will go with a 4 because there are a bunch of things that could be done better. I am very glad that this game has a "bi-route". We all have our preferences and without this option I probably would have no interest in this game. So I just want to say that it is greatly appreciated. Some things that I think could be improved on are; grammar/text, gateway decision that opens the "bi-path", and character labels. I'm not sure if there is a patch that helps with that. One I haven't seen, I have already installed the EL patch and the walkthrough patch and the character labels still seem to change throughout the game. For example, a character being referred to as an adopted father, then friend, then I think flatmate? A bit off-putting and weird to me. There is also the issue with custom character names causing an error which I experienced in part 2. Quite a few spelling and grammatical errors throughout the game. I completely missed the "bi-route" during my first and maybe second playthrough. I only realized what choices I needed to make after viewing the guide. It's somewhat easy to miss in my opinion and I think there are other easier ways to introduce that path other than seeing a girl with a strapon. Also, to get to that point you would have had to make certain decisions that I don't believe even relate to or give the hint of the path that is hidden behind them. Like must accept shower blowjob, must say you are dating which was pretty uncertain at that point of the story, must decline plane blowjob, etc. Though I doubt this would or could change. I just thought that I would bring it up since this is a review. Even for those who would never be interested in seeing bi or gay content. I doubt access to that route being easier or more accessible would be bad for anyone. Since it is just a yes or no thing. Still, I did enjoy this game a great deal and have pretty much been able to overlook the negatives. Also, game looks great, music fits quite well and is really nice to have as games that have no audio feel a bit more lifeless. I am looking forward to future updates.

Amazing so far with a really interesting and unique story that I haven't seen done like this in other similar games. The different branching paths definitely have a lot more impact on the story than ninty percent of all other games on this site that try something along the same lines.

The renders are good but nothing special in Part 1, but once you get to Part 2 you see a noticable improvement. I would go as far as to say that they can hang with the best of any game. The family members are the highlights but the supporting characters get shown love too.

The sex scenes while limited in their animation are absolutely CARRIED by the writing and dialogue. Characters know exactly what to say at any given moment and the result is great.

The MC is not the best I've ever seen but he's definitely leaps and bounds better than most of the dumb muppets that you find in the majority of other games here. But the absolute pinnacle of intrigue for me atleast HAS to be the older sister.

She has the best scenes in the entire game by far and it's not even the ones with the MC that impressed me the most, instead
I really hope this game continuous to improve and can manage to achieve its full potential. I will be eagerly awaiting each and every update.

This is kind of slow burn story, there is some BJ and HJ but mostly story with a setup. The renders of Part 2 are very much improved over Part 1. The one thing I didn't like was the whole route locked which locks out certain actions and dialog between the MC and the other people. I got to point where I got finally have some dialog with the mother only to find it was locked and then I had to figure out where I went wrong and try to fix it so I could improve the relationship with her. A viewable point system would probably be better to at least give us an idea of where we are with each character instead of just blocking us completely out. Overall I thought the whole thing was really good.

Well, kudos for equal opportunity seducing. You wanna seduce your mom? Give it a shot. Dad? Sure. Older sister? Sure. Younger sister? Sure. Younger brother? Sure. The gay relationships aren't my bag, so I don't pursue them, but it's interesting to see it as an option.

On the other hand the narrative is not as open. The older sister it guides you to has a fun relationship with you, playing with the incestual flirting, but - there is NTR whether you like it or not.
So, I'm torn. On the one hand good job for writing a character I wanted to pursue a relationship in the older sis. On the other, I feel a kick in the nuts for realizing doesn't work for me. I don't need the MC to be Power Dick Who Slays All but this is too much the other way for me.

It presents a family that does appear dysfunctional, like sits around talking through things as a family, which is unusual in these games. So, ok, good.

Like other reviews said the paths are complicated and there are a lot of variables to watch, even with a walkthrough, and it's hard to know where it's going to lead. If you need a walkthrough, no matter what, for a decision-based game, it's probably too complicated.

Good renders, good writing. Frustrating experience.

Edit: grammar

The story is a bit too goofy for my taste, but why not. While you are constantly confronted with route altering decicions, you mainly move the plot, there is not much action going on.

Already in Pt.2 (0.3) and the game still fiddles around a lot with vanilla wanking and blowjobs, which is quite funny, because everyone is always horny a.f.
Doesn't make sense to me. To be fair, a bit of standard boinking also happend, but not a lot of it.

The amount of stats one is juggling is overboarding. Would be ok if there already were deeply developed relations, but everything still feels like it just started (and the game is from what, 2019?). A more streamlined approach would be appreciated.

The caracter models are okay if you can stomach mouths and breasts that look like fresh out from the claws of the most drunk Russian plastic surgeon imaginable. I know, tastes differ, but this is just off putting if you would like your romantic encounters to somewhat resemble human beings.

Play it if you like to read a silly story from time to time, or if you have a pointy silcicone breasts and botox lips fetisch. Otherwise, better search elsewhere.

Sorry for my bad English, I'm a naive speaker, not a native speaker.

ok story, GREAT dialogues, GREAT characters, GREAT situations and GREAT renders, really looking foward to part 2

just wish we got even more sexy scenes but thats fine, this has lots of routes, and besides, it even has BIsexual routes which more games should do, the guys in this game look amazing

This is a very solid game. I can't understand why there's a rating under 4/5 stars here. It's got a bit of everything. Lot of ways to play the game and of course A LOT of different routes. It's very difficult to play without the walkthrough mods on because it makes it difficult to get the perfect route you're interested in.

Looking at the PDF walkthrough for example shows how a single decision which on the moment doesn't make a huge difference will make you miss a complete amazing scene. This - IMO - is easy to overcome with the walkthrough mods which some people feels like it's cheating, but here it's more about viewing the other options.

I feel the base game should offer the opportunity to play with the walkthrough mod and it would be a quality increase for most people who may be complaining. The truth to the matter is each game you play needs to be extremely focus on a route or 2 at most to enjoy the full content of that character.

Having a larger Harem overall route could be fun but I feel the direction of this game is mostly about MC discovering his sexuality with some of the character route you may choose.

If I had some other feedback, I wish there would be more explicit scene (full penetration) . It's kind of slow pace with (i would say) 75% of Routes. And I can think of maybe 3 people goes over the blow job/cunnilingus as of yet. I wish some route were more hardcore, especially the horny characters. Anyway that's just a minor detail.

Note; all Bi/Gay or even future not currently implemented Futa/Trans scene are 100% optional. Cutting those scenes from your Route will significantly increase the speed at which a game is played.

one of the best game ever keep it good work its a masterpiece specially the brother content sharing content its remarkeable
please update quickly and more contant it will be the ,ost popular game it will cross 10 million veiws in no time
thanks for updating

The images are great as far as I'm concerned.
The characters all vary quite a bit which is nice, even when it doesn't fit the story too well.

I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say,
the MC was in an extended coma and during that time his family forgot about him. There's more to it than that but still...it's sad that the MC is reminded often that he was forgotten.

The love interests spend quite a bit of time telling the MC about their past sexual encounters, multiple orgasms, and exploits. Sad again.

Gameplay can be weird as sometimes scenes loop for no reason, or even part of a scene will flash back up later. Makes no sense.

The spelling and grammer are extremely bad. Some of the lines are hard to read but most can be sussed out.

White lettering on a white background is really a poor choice, such as parts of the save menu and under preferences.

Scenes will pop up out of order. I've played this twice and both times a character wan't introduced but showed up talking/acting like they had met the MC before.

The names won't change. For example, I changed the Mother's name a couple times but it still uses the name Scarlett. The mc calls his parents by their first names which is odd.

I didn't pursue the sister yet there was a morning scene with her suddenly.

Seems like most the women are ending up sleeping around a lot.

Many other things, but mainly.... This could very easily be a 5 star game if they would have somebody else do the final written version as well as have someone proofread and check for continuity errors. The extreme slow development time doesn't help either... I mean, over 4 years since the first release with only a handful of content updates and still this many errors?
