Ren'Py - Eternal Storm [v0.08] [StefJonson]

The MC has lost his memory while saving the daughter of a tribal chieftain. The grateful father gifts him Imry, one of his harem girls, as a token of his appreciation.

That's pretty much it for this demo.

Pros:
1- Imry is adorable.
2- Decent renders and adequate sex animations.

Cons"
1- Writing was iffy, so I assume it's an English translation.
2- MC looks like a white kid. What is he doing in the desert? Would have made more sense if he was older and of middle eastern decent.
3- Game is too dark. I realize most scenes take place in a tent, but the lighting should still be better. It's an adult novel and we want to see the goods.

Way too early to really tell how this will play out. But I really liked Imry and hope this develops into something good.

This is interesting and I really like the girl design
but it's still very short demo so I'm not get much of it
but I like to see how's this going

I not care that this gonna be ntr or not just hope it not forced and make it choice and the replay gallery will be nice too

Let's see where this new sandbox gonna take us

Devs please don't abandon this and thanks a lot for the game

For a demo it's not bad.
The sandbox tag is something that scares a lot of people because it usually means that the games are super grindy so we will have to wait for future releases to see how it will play out.
Visually it's a decent game, we only got one animations but it was well done. The music really fits the vibe of the game.
I think my main issue with it right now it's the english. It's not super bad engrish like I've seen in other games but you can tell that the dev is not a native speaker.

Overall I would say it's a 3.5/5 right now.

VERSION: v.0.08
SUMMARY: Sub-standard game at best most fronts bogged down by typical sandbox issues.
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 2
2. Animations: 3
3. General Visuals: 3
4. Characters: 2
5. Story: 2
6. Writing: 3
7. UI & Gameplay: 3
8. Content (amount): 2
9. Sound & Music: 3
10. Fetish & kinks: 2

Average: 25 of 50 possible points giving a 50% rating i.e. 2-3 stars.

PROS:

1. Not much really, game music seems fitting to the area/culture and scene.
2. Writing is semi-decent but not great.
3. Animations are not bad, at least from the one that was shown.

CONS:

1. Models are not good looking at all in my opinion, MC particularly looking like a child that was lost in the snow, let alone desert.
2. Sandbox, annoying system most of the time, RPGM is the only place "sandbox" type elements kinda work.
3. Story is boring and uninteresting at best.
4. Characters are not interesting either and the world and the people, there motivations, even their relationship to the MC is obscure and makes no sense to the player.
5. Writing is generally not bad, but not good either, clearly the developer did not proof read and check grammar.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• I found myself wanting to skip through this as soon as possible, its not interesting to me in the slightest.
• The first (assuming first) LI has vitiligo or some skin disorder, and while I don't discriminate, its not my cup of tea and I find it silly of the developer to go for what is really a niche kind of LI to start with. It would be best to go for a generic all round initial LI, especially when you have little if any choice in the LI's, so pick something most would like and find appealing and leave the more unique LIs as optional. The way its done gives me a lot of red light warnings to a certain "wokeness" which I am also not interested in at all.
• I maintain that sandbox games are probably best when they done, as they try and create an open world which they take ages to populate with meaningful content. Here VNs are better where they have a more linear approach and create "chapters" that the player can play. IMO best VNs give you a full chapter in an update that has good content and ends with the player wanting more. Sandbox hardly gets this right and creates busy work for the player to have to do something with someone at a particular time and place else you miss the content or need to come back next day, weekend or whatever. Highly annoying IMO.
• I think this game is half baked at best and is really not worth the time and effort to get through what little content there is.
