VN - Ren'Py - Echoes of 2990 [Ch.2 0.2.1] [AADev]

Have you ever played a game so good that it made you reevaluate your own decisions? I am working on my own game right now and seeing how high quality this release is has made me reconsider a lot about my approach.

The character designs are so, very hot. The render quality is phenomenal. The story is unique. The mechanics seem rock solid. THE POLISH IS ABSURD. Tiny little things like the 3D model viewer and the UI are just insane.

Best new game of 2025 no question.

My only slight bit of feedback, and it is slight, is that the number of characters is bordering on too much. The 7 featured in this page's art are all great, well written and distinct. But there are also other potential LIs alluded to in the margins and the game's bios section (again the polish is SO good) has space for many more. I just hope this does not become an over ambitious game with 20+ LIs who do not get time to breathe or develop. I am more than happy enough with the core 7 we have and I hope they do not get their spotlight taken.

Review as of Ch.1

This game looks incredible on just about every front. The 3D rendering of the girls is some of the most impressive I think I've seen on this website. Details such as the UI and sound design add to the great sci-fi atmosphere that this game is going for.

On top of the visuals, the game seems to have great foundations when it comes to progression. The game has a number of variables and decisions which will apparently affect future events. It remains to be seen how the story will diverge or change as a result of these choices but it is intriguing.

Honestly, my only complaint is that one of the characters' dialogue can be a little unbearable at times but she looks hot so it can be forgiven. This is a great first release and honestly, this game looks to have all the makings of a slam dunk success.

I'm giving this five stars for the render quality alone, and the animations, they are amazing. There are some blemishes with the plot and honestly how the MC dresses, "absolute douche-core" would be how I describe his outfit, but that's okay, because this game does something that a lot of games fail to do, allow the choices to dictate the MC's personality, you can be dominant and arrogant, submissive and humble, a mix of both, it's really cool to see how different decisions impact the character and hopefully that will be even more prevalent in future updates. All in all, great start, please change the outfit.

i'm into sci-fi so i just like stuff in that genre, this is really nothing new and its a bit over the top, the story so far is entertaining and the models used for renders are nothing short of amazing, proportions too

While the setting isn't anything new and the gameplay isn't exactly fresh, it does it extremely well. There's a lot of branching choices and variations in what you can do. Multiple ways of approaching each girl and there's even a sub/dom system which is refreshing. There's even an IQ tracker so I guess you could roleplay as a dumbass if you really wanted to. I also really like the graphics, the space looks good, the ship looks sleek and the girls look great. I think the final cherry on top is that for the first chapter, it is extremely generous with the amount of content you get. There's well above the usual amount of content for the first chapter or demo. Overall, if you're a fan of space harem games definitely keep an eye on this one.

The first update is quite large, just enough to get some idea of the plot

The visuals are great, I also like how you have a variety of LI models with different personalities and looks

Although there is an in-game gallery, I hope you can also provide it in the menu in future updates

I know that this is only the first chapter. But this is absolutely the peak of adult visual novels.

The visuals are out of this world. The lightning in this game is stunning. The environments look beautiful. There is music that adds to the ambiance. All the female LIs are sculpted like goddesses. Additionally, the characters have depth; they feel like people and not dolls.

ALSO, this game has some really EROTIC scenes, like all the lewd scenes have the perfect angle, lighting, setup, and flow. The animations are very fluid.

The story is also interesting; there seems to be a time travel/future premonition plot setup. Also, there is the classic trope of the MC and his ragtag crew travelling in space and visiting different places. There is also some humor sprinkled in.

If you are into harem and romance games, then this is it.

My main feedback (if the dev(s) see this review) is that you should keep the momentum going, and you will have a masterpiece.

Definitely a fking 11/10. OMG, the renders are absolutely gorgeous, every shot looks like it belongs in an art gallery. The story is actually engaging as hell, not just filler between scenes. And the sex scenes? Holy sh*t, they’re insanely well-made, more than I’ve seen in most AVNs. . What a mind-blowing debut. These renders are pure eye candy, every single frame. Waifus are god-tier. This man deserve every support he can get with this project

i hardly ever write reviews after first release. However this game has the makings of being a top tier game i am talking page 1 on rankings.

However, this could go bad if they add NTR to the game, i know it is your game but research shows you lose far more potential players with the NTR tag as you do without it. More people click past the game if the Netorare tag is present, avoidable or not it is there and the game suffers for it because the DEV has to write more content otherwise updates are short as trying to pander to everyone.

Stick to Harem no NTR honestly you really do have an awesome game potentially. Episode 1 was awesome, great renders, gorgeous models and the story was fun and interesting to read as well.

Again just my opinion DEV

Just gonna copy comment from the thread - EP1 so far:

EP1 is fantastic. Music is fire, girls are freaking hot as hell, graphically its extremely impressive. Writing is solid, even though it is extremely dumb at times, but I also think its fitting.
