VN - Ren'Py - Drive to Nowhere [v1.0] [VisualNovels]

It's a fairly short intro but packs quite a punch really. Seemingly setting up for a great story line and already has me drawn in wanting to read/discover more. Renders are quite good and best part apart about them is the character models and appearance all visually fit their roles quite nicely. Reiterating what was said by another reviewer, realistic looking. Also, as stated already, loving the in-game option to change relationships, names and ages.

Only potential negative - Game hints a bit at possible NTR paths, with the only erotic scene in first release not even involving the MC. However, I wouldn't judge too early. (NTR doesn't personally bother me but there seems to be a hate trend on F95 towards anything NTR)

Overall, definitely an excellent start and definitely looking forward to further releases. Not enough here and far too early for me to consider financial support but might be a good one for those that don't mind getting in and helping out early on a promising VN.

This review is of the first release.

Pros:
1. The game features a gritty atmosphere that's nicely realized and immersive. It sets the tone both physically and emotionally.
2. The female MC is a realistic depiction of a woman of her age. No gigantic tits or disgustingly huge ass. This is a woman you can imagine living next door to you. More devs should learn what this one knows: realism is hot.
3. Names and relationships between the male MC and the female MC are fully customizable, as is the male MC's age. No phony step-cest here if you don't want it.
4. The one other character we get to know is convincingly disgusting and sleazy, which adds to the overall atmosphere.

Cons
1. The only real con so far is that the English used, while serviceable, isn't great. I get it, English is a difficult language to learn and use properly. Still, the dev might wish to get some native-speaking help to make an editorial pass and smooth out some rough spots.

Conclusion:
This is a very good start. This is a demo, so the lack of content isn't a negative. The content around the motel owner is unsettling, but it's meant to be, and furthermore it effectively adds to the tone of degradation that the game is going for; however, it might be a bit much for squeamish players. Overall, this is one of the better demos I've played recently and I very much look forward to seeing where things go from here.

This game is excellent and clearly crafted with care. It has strong potential to become something truly great. I highly recommend it to serious players who value quality, depth, and a well-made experience.

A first chapter that will want you to find out more about this odd mother son couple and the low lives they encounter on their road trip to nowhere. Unusual characters and style, intriguing and atmospheric indeed. Reminiscent of the abandoned Gates Motel game.

Very short at the moment. The four stars are to encourage the Dev. He is talented and his models are well done. In fact, technically, I'd say the Dev is above average. The issue with his stuff, apparently, is that he seems to jump around a lot between stories. He has two ongoing and a history of simply just "abandoning" projects...you know, technically still ongoing, but then he begins a new story.

So, interesting start on this one. Realistic female forms as usual for this Dev (refreshing.) Hopefully, the Dev will stick to it. Plenty of possibilities of smexy inzest and other shenanigans. Nice touch for allowing relationships to be modified.
