Ren'Py - Dragon Incarnate [v0.1.4a] [Agent Nova]

sorta fun.

on the bright side, the girls (other than the catgirl) are pretty cute, and the option to completely avoid undesired content is great.

the plot and story... may be leading somewhere? time will tell.

other than that, it's an FRPG sandbox (implemented well, but still a sandbox) with a total of 6 lewd scenes plus whatever you see with the futa option. that's it for now.

looking forward to seeing more, but for now there isn't that much to see.

Theres really not enough content to truely make a decent review of the game, but as for story it seems alright but to early to really say much about it.

What i can say is that game promiss that relationships aka sex scenes are 100% optional so your never forced into something you dont want and for a sandbox thats pretty rare, but a very good thing in my eyes.

The sandbox it self is pretty standard, a shitload of clicking but atleast moving around is mostly done by map so that part is not bad.
Alot of things is in development and you run into that straight from the start.

Quest log needs a bit of work since not all quest shows up in it, like the delivery quest you can pick up at the start of the game, i delivered 2 out of 3 items and got 0 freaking clue where last one was supposed to go...

The relationship build-up is pure shit though atleast for Ivy which is the first girl you meet, you talk with her once or twice do single quest and it goes stright to a handjob, so theres pretty much 0 build-up which makes relationships quite boring and with 0 debt or feelings, also MC is half a sleep and ends up falling a sleep while getting the handjob, its pretty weird if you ask me.
Heres another fact of how shallow the relationships are, you get a catgirl quest, you catch her, bring her to your camp for whatever reasons, her only "quest" is to make alot of babies, so you click "make babies" and you fuck her, hows that for a build-up rofl.

Animations and sex scenes right now atleast feels a bit below average, its short, its single position and atlest for catgirl you can only see her back so even though shes pregnant its not really pregnant sex when you dont see the belly, i guess this might change at some point.

Also when you click chat with a girl you dont really do any talking you just get a boring message "you chat with x about nothing" so whats the point.

Girls look nice enough but it feels quite outdated for a 2025 game.

As for content im not really sure why it has so many tags right now, i saw no virgins, no romance(stright to fucking is 0 romance sorry....)

In any case game has a little potential but it needs alot of work, more talk, more romance, music since silent is just boring, better animations with more positions it is an adult game after all, more could proberly be done but that would be a good start.

I was close to giving it 3 stars but the lack of romance aka build-up really makes things boring.

A solid adventure game, that should only get better if developed with care.
In a game like this it's important to not overcomplicate, things like the worldbuilding and game mechanics need to be simple enough to not feel like a chore, and so far I like what I'm seeing, even the sandbox is simple enough to not get in the way of overall enjoyment of the game.
The writing is good and the characters are mostly written well (save one catgirl who sticks out like a sore thumb even in a supernatural game like this).
Sometimes it's easy to read the potential of a game, and this game promises an interesting time, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

VERSION:0.1.2a

4. Writing and structure are good and reads well.
5. Animation and general render quality is fairly good also.
6. Kinks like pregnancy are present and not shied away from.

CONS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Very short, not much content and quests are not fleshed out or very interesting. Some can't even be completed.
2. Some dialogue like the cat-burglar is something silly and nonsensical.
3. Not much going on to really even rate or get a firm grasp of whats going on at all.
4. Quest are silly and short and really have no substance.
5. Pregnancy is a kink but not present in current game version as its not been implemented.
6. Interactions with any LIs are VERY limited and really nothing much here to play.
7. No sounds, lewd, ambient or interactive at all, which is a damn shame.
8. Animations, the one that there is is good, but short, has no angles or anything really remarkable to it save its quality looks good.
9. I am not a fan of sandbox, but this seems OKish enough.

OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't)

• AVN mostly consists of a framework now and not much actual content to really play and enjoy IMO.
• I detest sandbox most of the time, but as long as no grinding is involved that slows the player down or locks you out of content until certain conditions are met I am fine enough to entertain it. This AVN seems ok so far, but its too early to give a clear indication.
• Per above point, sandbox forces the player to click all option again again in the hope that there is new content in each update, where normal AVN i.e. novel type flow linear and usually don't have dead ends and "under development" Hence why I say this is more framework than anything else. Its also the reason I shy away from sandbox games, as they only really start getting good when they almost near the end where you can play until a line of content is complete, but throughout you often run into dead ends or slow progression because the developer is spread out too far.

TLDR:

Not bad, looks good and has some decent potential, but not much here to enjoy really and I would opt to wait for a few updates before trying again. Something tells me it will take a good long time to develop as quests and the main plot will spread development out probably more in a branching style than linear one, so progression could be very slow.

I will keep an eye on this one, but there isn't enough here to give much of a review, I will however update it as it develops. Good luck dev.
