VN - Ren'Py - Enchanted Hearts [Ch.3] [Hot Stone Studios]

- The story might be "decent" if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of the text can't even be read at all.
- The MC's equipment looks like its been through a meat grinder
- Apparently the dev said it wasn't going the Harem route but all sights point towards it.

I did a replay since it's been awhile since the last update. I know many AVN devs' first language is not English, however, the translation is not good and at times makes it difficult to read through the story. Also, while the visuals are good, at times there are artifact pixles bleeding through transparents areas of the hair on some characters and it just looks weird. I'm not sure if this dev does this full time or in their spare time, but almost 10 months for a rather short update will be difficult for me to keep up with this story.

7/16/25 [Ch.3]
I'm amending my rating for the game. The dialogue is much improved.
I was off about the renders, they are very good, and the use of POV shots adds to the story. The story is progressing nicely.
The characters are likeable.
I'm giving 4+ stars for the vast improvement. More work on dialogue is recommended.

The game's rating is due to the garbled, poorly translated dialogue. With more effort to make the dialogue presentable for English players, this could be a very good game.
There is an attempt at character development, and the renders are decent.
But one scene was so unnecessary that I almost stopped playing, but I didn't. I played to the bitter end. I wouldn't recommend the game at this point. Please put more effort into translation.

Romance huh?

Story:

It starts off with you being gaslighted into having feelings for Sara, she comes on hella strong and even kisses you before inviting you to party. At the party the barrage of bad dialogue ambushes you along with the forced fake "romance" build up between you and Sara. She asks you who you like and if you reply like you enjoy freedom of choice... you get made to feel like a total dick. Romantic enough yet?

If you do choose Sara you get a lackluster blowjob all while showing off the MC's stale, expired, overcooked penis. Back home the MC's demeanor changes as he goes from this naive, clueless guy to Sherlock Holmes. All of a sudden he's commanding and wants his father who is apparently into some illegal activities to come clean. Fast forward to a car explosion followed by amnesia and a timeskip.

The Mc hangs with a random and it's unclear who this guy is other than the name Daniel. He invites you to the club, random blowjob from a random chick. Feeling the romance already. Next day you meet a shady guy that probably your father whacked, he threaten you, you get a BJ from Kate and run into Sara at cafe. The end.

Choices don't really matter as if you don't pick the "right" options you miss a good bit of content.

Dialogue:

At this point I almost expect games to have poor grammar or to be badly translated. This was no different.

Renders:
So-so

Characters:
So far everyone woman has the hots for the MC. Kinda drains you after a while.

Overall:

Good luck.

There has been a lot of talk about spelling mistakes, but I can't evaluate this because I use a translation tool. Otherwise, it has potential and could succeed if the developer removes some quirks and develops more logically.

(When you meet an old friend again, it makes no sense for him to give you a mouth job after 1 minute. Don't do sex scenes just for the sake of doing it, do it when it makes sense)

If you think about downloading this game based on the pretty thumbnail - don't. This isn't a game. This is a tribute to the MC, who graces everyone with their presence regardless of where he goes. I haven't been this disappointed in a long time, so I am just going to give you bullet points of what is wrong with the game (there will be no pros. When the game is terrible. I usually still give it extra star for graphics or music, in here graphics are average and music is absent)

• terrible English writing. Past tense where it supposed to be present, present tense where it supposed to be past tense; him when talking about a woman; third person verbs in relation to the first person and first person verbs in relation to the third person
• Dialogues. I only once saw as bad writing. It was in the game written by the man (kid probably) called KArabinek (I forgot the name of the game - thank Goodness). The whole aim of the dialogues is to make the player feel like a king. Everyone is kneeling before him. Apart from that, they don't bring anything else to the table
• Storyline. 'My father is doing vey dangerous business... I am scared something bad will happen' Then boom.. the car explodes. Who would expect this... Seriously, this is worse than the 90's TV series
• Animations. What the hell is wrong with transitions. Sometimes you see a black screen for few seconds before it moves to the actual renders

Summary: avoid. Let the dev sit in the corner and grow up before touching the AVNs again
