VN - Ren'Py - Driven by Desire [v0.15 Public] [KloppStyle]

Review as of v0.15: Overall I liked the game and want to see how it continues, but there were a couple things that annoyed me enough to drop it down to a 3 star review.

The point and click portions that didn't seem to do much.
As well as the in a village except the village is half modern half rural af, like they have phones, but not an in house toilet? They have signal for said phones as well...
Some other things that don't seem to make sense like the girls leaving Elsa alone.
And how a couple of the "mc's thoughts" scenes seem to drag on or be about nothing.

Apart from those however, the visuals were good enough, the story was good enough, and the sound was good.

The game made no sens its just sex scene out of nowhere with people for some that you havent meet (sagasa i think) come from a dream or not clearly too confusing.
You do not feel like the game have any stories at all totally empty on that side even the synopis seem to been badly made.
It make you think or you go to the city or you rest at the farm.But no you have no choice
You kill someone for no reason clearly an idiotic games for people that love games than make sens forget this one.

The pace is very moderate, not too fast and not too slow

The designed scenes are also very attractive

The appearance of potential LIs is also a highlight in this 1.5 update

You are doing very well with the update rate, just keep it up and everything will be successful

Review for v0.1
Well this quite an interesting game. There is a lot to unpack here so lets get to it. The game has an interesting concept which I have not seen often before. The MC is from a very rural area and is slowely but surely finding out that he needs adventure and then moves to the city.

In the beginning of the game, the focus is mostly on his friend and his environment. I guess I can understand, it helps you relate to the MC a bit more and you become acquinted with the kinda boring life MC has been leading up to this point in his life. When he eventually went to the city he was immediately met with rude and toxic people, which is not the most realistic but okay. Up to this point I'm still very much into the story. But then... the MC randomly takes the gun of an innocent man (MC calls him a thug, but the guy was just standing there) and shoots him in the head. Whaaaaat???? That made literally no sense at all, like none. The so-called thug also was just standing there and did not provoke anyone.

The graphics are quite nice though, the sex scenes in the game are really good, like really really good. But that storyline though, its still early beginnings but that complete 180 does not make me optimistic about the future.

I do also feel like a bit more time could have been invested in the Li's. The focus in the rural area was mainly on his friends. Thats not necessarily bad, but the romances either escalated way too quickly (Patricia) or nothing really happened (Zoe).
Even after that weird 180 in the storyline, Im still invested in this game for some reason. So 3 stars seems like the right rating at the moment.

I’ve gotta give props to this game. It’s packed with potential and clearly shows the developer's dedication. You can tell he genuinely hopes the AVN community will appreciate what he’s built.

PROS:
1. For an HS2 game, the creator invested a lot of time into custom maps instead of sticking to stock options. He’s going the extra mile to make this game stand out.
2. The game has some solid interactivity and mini-games for anyone who enjoys that; if you’re not one of them, the “skip minigame” button’s right there for you.
3. The music and sound effects are pretty solid. While it’s not necessarily the best I’ve ever heard in an AVN, it’s definitely better than a lot of what’s out there. Bottom line: it’s good, it fits, and it doesn’t get annoying.
4. The render quality is top-notch. Every shot, whether it’s scenery or staged scenes, shows the effort put in; the creator definitely prioritized quality over quantity here.
5. The models look pretty good, though I didn’t spot the girls from the promo banner in the game yet. I assume they’re coming in future updates - can’t wait, honestly, they’re the reason I downloaded this in the first place!

NEUTRAL:
1. There’s limited 18+ content so far, but that’s understandable given this is only version 0.1. Still, gotta say, the scene with Patricia was on point.
2. The developer’s first language isn’t English, and it shows a bit, but it’s improving with each update. (0.05 -> 0.1)

CONS:
1. I wish the dev would spend more time on the LIs already in the game instead of focusing on the MC and his friends. I get that the backstory’s important, but I'd love to see more focus on the girls. Here’s hoping that’s where future updates are headed and we will see more boobs.

And as a side note, I don’t get why so many people think the first scene somehow makes the protagonist a cuckold. If you actually read the tags, it’s clearly voyeurism, not NTR or cuckoldry. Learn to use Google if you don't know a term!

I'd like to give it 4.5/5 but since this is dev's first game I will give it 5/5 for now.
Pros:
- Simple and easy to understand prologue
- Renders and animation is good enough
- Some nice friendship with the boys, that one prank really freaked me out

Cons:
- Too much minigames for this early in the story, I appreciate if you have the choice to skip those
- The LI doesn't feel like one (Zoe), I don't know maybe dev will develop her more because she doesn't interest me right now. Since dev is clearly a fan of a certain game in this site, I suggest he takes a look at how that game made some really cute loveable LI
- Yo What in the heavens name was that cliffhanger?! Did that really happened? Didn't expect that at all

the gameplay itself is very good and it's nice to read the musical component is a very pleasant atmosphere of music and plot wonderfully made characters in general very atmospheric and pleasant emotions the game evokes in you that the game further wants to play it

V 0.1

Good models, but: Engrish, poor attempts at comedy, minigames for everything to cover the lack of a plot, only 2 h-scenes: first is a (non ?) LI having sex with MC's father and the second scene is a forced one with the town bycicle.

This is it for me, good luck to the dev, you're gonna need it.

Another one foor the Ignore List.

10/10 so far Amazing Game

For me this Game doesnt have the most Creative Plot, there are a lot of games with the same premisse (most of them unfortanelly get droped), But it absolutely delivers in its Flawless Execution.
Being: Art; Animantion; Designs; Humor; (Shows a lot of Passion/Creator Personality)

Fantastic Game UI; Having a Hub to see the Characters Profiles is a Must Feature, for me in this types of games with a lot of charcteres.

Cant wait for more will follow this series very closely ,
Hope you can produce the story that you have in vision.

Gosh, that's what I was looking for! The game itself is very entertaining, has beautiful models, and has an interesting history that made me excited for more. It was definitely a great start!
Keep up the good work!

very good game. interesting story. interesting characters. beautiful female models. good quality overall, from the artwork itself to the animation, which is well done. good soundtrack. nothing to complain about really.

overall a very good game. thematically interesting and well executed so far.

good luck to the developer.

A very great and solid start. Funny moments, super pretty girls and top quality renders and animations. So good when we find an AVN where the dev is clearly putting in so much effort since the beginning. Can't wait for the next update!

And so, what can I say about it, in general, as for the first release, the game came pretty good, cool animations, not bad renders, as for the plot, it is relatively simple. But the characters are well written, if it wasn't for one moment with the parents, it would be super.
4 stars, but for the first release, 5 - with the hope that the notes of NTR will not appear in the future.

Pros:
The renders are well done.
Interesting mini games
The plot is in a good clinch
Attention to detail is pleasing, as are the memes.
Good audio accompaniment.
Beautiful characters
Cons:
Small amount of content.
Lack of sex scenes in the first chapter.

The game is definitely worth watching. Since this is the author's first game and it turned out pretty good, I'll give it 5 stars and wait for chapter 2.

Good Points
+ Visually the game looks good.

Bad Points
- DEV's main language is not English, therefore we have lots of typos and mistakes, even first dialogues you read are full of mistakes for example like this one: ''My name is MC, I'm 18 years old. When I was 10 years old my mom died. It's been 10 years now...'' etc.
- The content is inconsistent and DEV don't know what he is doing, biggest example for this he saying Amalia (MC's father's girlfriend) is not love interest, yet making MC spy on her, show us her naked body, etc, then while these scenes gives impression of she being love interest, then he showing us she is having sex with the MC's father, which is again unnecesarry thin to do, gives mixed signals and don't make any sense at all to have that kind of scene in the game, especially considering that's literally only real content first release has and MC has no content with the girls at all.
- Content-wise the game has nearly nothing, if you don't count sex happening between Amalia & MC's father, which shouldn't count since it has nothing to do with the MC.
- From things we can see animation quality and physics are average at best, considering high quality pictures/renders the game has they need some improvements for sure.
- The game don't has gallery, adding with upcoming updates would be good idea.

For The End
The game seems have potential, but DEV needs to made up his mind first for sequeze that potential, and profreading is needed for sure as well, normaly I would give 2 stars, but since it's first release I will be giving 3 stars instead.

I liked the menu, music and sound effects in general. It's great when developers pay attention to the atmosphere of the game. The renders are quite high quality. And, apparently, here we will be able to see not only the default HS animation, but also the author's. The plot is interesting. I will wait for the sequel (according to the author, it will be released within a month).

The plot's a bit on the short side, but that's to be expected for a first draft. The renders are great, and there are some cool minigames and references. The story's shaping up nicely. I was going to give it a 4, but I'm giving it a 5 up front
