VN - Ren'Py - Dreamland [v0.4.0p] [Dokiden]

Great renders, ok girls, terrrible everything else

The game does a great job of making the li's look very pretty and rendering them well, in good lighting

The girls/models chosen are good, very feminine but all with huge boobs

The game it'self is crap - there is bad writing with toilet humour and forced fetishes with fake choices. There's annoying af transition animations (like a child making a home video) and it even makes things like going to the menu to save ultra tedious with the slow low quality ui transitions

Constant unavoidable dirty footjobs - everyone in this game definitely has infections - and girls thoughtlessly throwing themselves at mc every 2 seconds

The worst most assholish part of the game is completely disabled rollbacks. Gives such a self important vibe. Ironically there's even a rollback-side setting still, that does nothign of course

Im actually also playing these type of games for at least a bit of story to feel involved in the game and this one does it very good. Excellent visuals, story kinda hard to understand, but still great overall atmosphere and renders.

girls (renders): 4,5/5
animations (sex scenes): 2,5/5
gameplay (tension building): 1/5

girls are great, maybe their bodies are a little bit too similar to each other
animations are as basic as they can be, maybe 3-4 repeating frames
there is no gameplay, it's pure visual novel
there is almost no content between scenes, which are so frequent and easily accessible that it quickly becomes boring

In my opinion this is a top three game, currently. That opinion takes renders, graphics and story in to consideration. While the story and playtime is short, and to some extent "basic", it gives the opportunity for the player to immerse him/herself into how events in life can play out. The graphics speak for themselves, while the story is simple yet well thought out, with twists and mysteries here and there. My only critique would be, that the updates are too "shallow". I understand that the game is divided into episodes, but let the episodes be longer or vary in length, so that the player does not feel as if he/she is awaiting the end after having just begun. But all in all, a fantastic game in my opinion

Everything that a good adult VN should be! Impeccable renders, decent and different story, smoking chicks and nice presentation overall.
And Lea and Alice are just....god damn!

I just hope in the future I can f around with more than one girl, because from what I played, I don't get the impression that I can.

Pros:
- Incredible production quality of stills and animations.
- Very nice, proportionate character models.

Cons:
- Incredibly dumb, out of nowhere events.
- Sometimes very painful dialogue.
- Sex scenes feel rushed.

I just knew it how it will go when i saw another guys other than MC stays in the whole story. and the stories turn out the exact what i predicted.

The whole story is terriblely written with so many unnecessary plot, Tommy
peeping other girls. Guy name Alex even cuckold MC after u choosed Lea. Yeah not very long she tells u its all fake, she doing it all for u, but she and Alex did had Sex because she want to make up for him? Like what this suppose to mean, story writter? Most girls are act like they don't care any man just meet see their exposed body too. The whole charcters for most girls is lusty in general.

Not to mention the ex boyfriend thing where most game just adds to the girl's past for no reason, in reality yes, many girl did have a ex, but its a visual novel, all settings should serve the main story make it more stand out. Not to mention MC just acts like he is cool with all this after what Lea has done.

I know there is a rule that against people writing review against specific tag, but there should be a rule for the post like this too, if u have some controversial content, u should definity mention it in post and put the tag on. So both the tag lover and haters won't waste time to download it or finding it.Some games even dodge the main point and trying to be edge on the story of multiple controversial tag and quibble its not what it looks like.

Got so pissed by Lea's story path and some other girls's event, the game got a outstanding rendering in both girls and enviroment, but the story writting is horrible ruined it all, If the render and the script writting its made by the same person, can only say u are been both blessed and cursed in each talents.

Overall review:
Render 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Girls variety 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Story 1/5 ⭐

Excellent storyline and nice renders and hot chicks. Story is reasonable without too much grind. Would like to see more boob emphasis, but otherwise nice intimate scenes. Looking forward to the next chapter

The game has a lot of potential, but also a lot of room for improvements (from my perspective, of course).

The visuals and quality of the renders is pretty good. Some look quite blurry and low quality for some reason but it's just a few. The girls are all beautiful and aren't the usual basic models you see in every VN.

The characters seem shallow and stereotypical at the beginning but start showing hints of actually having a personality and depth later on. It's still too early but so far, I like what I've seen (even though it's not much). The story is quite interesting, somewhat mysterious and intriguing, although there were some type of revelations in the last eposides that I found confusing, but maybe it all will be explained in future updates.

The sex scenes and interactions are very meh. Good enough if what you want is to see a pussy, tits and ass but they lack realism and naturality? Like, you kiss the girl in one render, and then the next one is you two having sex. Where is the foreplay and all? It is funny cause there is a part where two characters talk about adult VNs and make fun of how unreal and silly they are sometimes and this VN makes the exact same mistakes as the rest.

I also dislike that there doesn't seem to be any points system. All the girls want you because you are good looking and have a huge dick. Just like in real life, right? Cause women are as superficial and stupid as men, mhmm. I also dislike the fact that you're kinda pushed to choose one of the girls from the beginning. Bruh, its a bunch of college students going to a crazy festival after COVID. Why do you want me to marry one of the girls from the outset? Let experimentand enjoy life a little and maybe later on force me to make a choice but seriously, if I want Mei I have to become his GF in the first night together? (of course I'm unsure if that will change in future releases but for now that's how it seems to be).

Overall, the VN is definitely worth playing and experiencing and hopefully it will continue to get better.

not a bad game. Both in terms of the graphics and the realization of the story. Only ... over two years of development ... it's a little short on substance. Maybe another 10 years until it's finished ... or 14 ... too long for me to wait but it was quite nice nothing more

This is probably the best looking AVN I've ever played.
The level of detail in every render is amazing, from moving of heads, woods passing by while driving, small animations like bouncing etc. It really is leaps ahead of other games at this moment.

The characters looks really good too.

Impressive considering this is the first project of an inexperienced dev, all done in his free time while he has a full time job. This game deserves way more attention. I wish the dev the best, maybe he can go full time on this one day.

Gorgeous animation and renders, the ladies in this are fantastic. A really interesting UI, "I like the horror in the woods" mystery. overall this is a very crisp and well produced game, excited to see where it goes.

Very good game. Super hot girls, amazing sex scenes and animations. The story sound interesting and is unique, as far as I can tell. A lot of information is missing about the main story. I would love to read the story, even alone, without the game. I am looking forward for the next version.

Great game. Even better animations and they are among the best. It must take a lot of time to make quality animations and that is what I like most about these games.
- beautiful and hot animations
- great lighting and angles
- good atmosphere doesn't feel empty
- hot poses, great POV and immersive (lot of devs miss on great pov angles)

I don't like games where the devs spend most of their time on million renders and story but then the actual sex scenes are meh. For story you go play a real game not something on F95. So for me it's among top. And there is just very few games with this quality.

The girls are very cute also face expressions. Lea could loose the tattoos though.

thanks

CAVEAT: I’m giving Dreamland 5 stars solely on the basis of the game as it is, but personally I am doubtful this game will ever be completed… It does not inspire confidence when we have only 70 - 80 minutes of game time after two years of development.

Other than that, Dreamland offers an interesting premise filled with mystery and potentially deep interpersonal relationships. The character designs and animations are also one of the most gorgeous I have seen in Daz3D.

Story
MC and his friends go on a summer vacation to attend an annual party / festival at Dreamland. However, the people around him are not what they seem and the place holds unsolved mysteries including a girl who went missing 5 years ago.

The setup certainly arouses interest, but it’s hard to comment much as progress is limited despite having being in development for quite a while. It is also rather unexpected because one of the central mysteries surrounding the game is unveiled to players very early in the game if you choose a particular path.

I’m not sure if it’s a red herring subjected to a further plot twist in the future, but I would hope so. Besides that, not much to be said as of V0.27, MC and his friends are still on the way and have not even reached Dreamland.

Game Mechanics
You get to make choices which affects the availability of scenes and also the story to a significant extent

Background / Character Renders
So far there are only a couple of scenes at home and during the car trip, the rest of them are at a camp site. Not much opportunity to comment on the backgrounds except they are decently rendered and do their job well.

Character designs on the other hand are very well rendered - this game has some of the hottest models I have seen in Daz3D especially Lea, Danielle and Summer.

The game also features micro animations such as hair and eye movements, moving backgrounds and slight camera panning during the course of the story to create a more movie like experience.

Character Development
So far there hasn’t been many opportunities for character development, but one can certainly detect some underlying tension and unknown secrets hidden between many of the characters underneath a facade of casual friendliness.

This has the potential to be very interesting if the developer is able to play his cards right and execute them correctly with good pacing and script writing.

Sex Scenes
So far the scenes are very limited comprising of a few teasing ones and a full blown fuck with one of the LIs. The well designed LIs mixed with good animation and dialogue makes the scenes a sight to behold. The quality is already there, now we just need more quantity through updates.

BGM and Sound Effects
Basic BGMs that complement the experience and no / minimal sound effects.

Conclusion
Dreamland is a high quality and high potential piece of work - it has a promising story, characters are chili pepper hot while the sex scenes are well done.

The challenge is updates are way too slow compared to the competition. The developer will need to increase productivity without compromising quality if he wants to have a decent chance to complete this project.

Gorgeous girls and great animations. Can't wait to see where this goes. Great job to the developer. Gorgeous girls and great animations. Can't wait to see where this goes. Great job to the developer.

Some of the best renders and girl designs that you will ever find on this website. It's genuinely unreal - every frame looks like a wallpaper.

The story is OK. It's unique in the sense that there's a lot of backstabbing and just shitty behavior among the characters (including pretty much every girl.

Still, it's too early to judge story-wise, but this game is 1000% worth playing just for the visuals alone

The story is a little odd, there are lots of things that don’t really make sense (yet?), and I don’t really know what type of story I’m going to end up with.

The visuals are great, but this is a game that just won’t stay still. Pretty much every frame involves movement, so even if it’s a static render, you’re still panning or zooming. You get a lot of little scenes as well where the group is in a car, for instance, and you see the scenery rushing past through a window, and a pair of boobs bouncing slightly as the car moves. While these animations may look good, you have to wonder if they are necessary, especially with the long development times between updates for these games.

The girls are definitely a high point though. I don’t really have a favourite in terms of love interests yet, as I haven’t had the opportunity to get to know them, but of the six we’ve been introduced to so far, four have had lewd scenes with the MC and a fifth a solo lewd scene, so we’re reasonably well served there, for the size of the game so far. In my opinion though, these lewds haven’t been the best.

The typical way they play out is that you’ll go through the scene, then get the options, which are to repeat the positions you’ve just had, or cum (or fuck, for a couple of the not-already-fucking scenes). A good percentage of them are cut short as well, so there’s plenty of blue-balling going on. I’d also prefer to see more of the girls in these scenes, rather than just focusing on body shots.

In terms of characters, I think we have a mixed bag here. The MC is largely forgettable (other than the fact it’s your POV, of course), and his best friend doesn’t really seem like much of a friend (plus there are rather sinister elements there later on – although this does make him a bit interesting, at least). Mei’s story is similarly strange, or at least how it ends the current update is strange, and I have literally no idea why Katherine is an actual character and not just someone on the MC’s computer.

Needless to say, we are still early in the game, so all of these points should be addressed in time. I just personally feel that the story should have given us a bit more to go on rather than just throwing out a bunch of mysteries in the first day. Maybe once we get to Dreamland things will start to become a little clearer…

Loved the premises, it's still in its early stages so the plot is only starting to be revealed. But the quality of the renders in itself warrants a high rating. I strongly encourage players to give it a try and to support Dokiden. All in all the cast has been set up, it has not yet however expanded past it
