Ren'Py - Evelyn's Story [v0.33.6] [Rabbit Haven]

This game has a very bad rating, huh? Why is that? I rated it bad because the game doesn't have a tutorial to explain the story and what you should do in the game. It just starts and throws you onto the map. You're like an idiot looking for what to do. That's why I don't like map games, since most of them are poorly made.

Game is super terrible. You would spend all the time just clicking, clicking and clicking. UI is super bad. The developer is trying to fit so many functions and features all at once even though the game is still in an early stage. Map is all over the place, when the content was just one single place only. The game becomes a chore, you know? A chore! Listen to your critics! Do something about it! The idea is great, but the UI and mechanics are super terrible! Wasting time! Did you play and test your own game?! You like what you've created?

Extreme Clickfest. One of the worse UI's I have ever seen in a title. Anything and I mean Anything you want to do requires an insane amount of clicks.

Want to go to the Gym after work? First you have to click back to the world map 3 times, then when you are on the world map, you would think ok click on the Gym...Right? WRONG! What you actually have to do is
Click Home - Click the front door - Click into the Bedroom - Click on the Closet - Click on Gym Clothes -then- Click the back arrow Once, Click the back Arrow twice - Click the back Arrow a third times to get back to the world map!! Then you Click on the Gym!

So am I nitpicking lets look at sleeping, If you want to sleep you MUST put on Sleep Wear every time. Most games have an option to "Sleep until Morning" but not here! Evelyn's Story gives you a sleep for 2 hours or a sleep for 4 hours option ONLY. So you need to click two to three times to get to morning. You say screw it let's go out at night and explore the city... WRONG, It's to late and you can't leave your house until you finish sleeping!

QUEST - most of the time when you see a QUEST button, you click on it and it gives you at least a clue what to do next and/or it keep track of what quests your on... NOT here! You get a list or Friends, Family and Others and at least initially no damn information as to what to do next. So you repeat days randomly until something changes.

Did I mention the horrible CLICKFEST you go to work, Click on you Desk, the Click to WORK, the Click again to Work, then repeat Clicking on WORK a few more time until the work day ends.

The Dev should pay us for this for wasting our time.

They need to hire someone to work on the user interface ASAP.

- translation's quality
- navigation and travel
Possible improvements
adding locker at the gym to change clothes
auto change of clothes when going to bed

+- events feel bit forced, not enough tease and temptation

+ Cute Asian model

My firsth thought about this game was...what another game from Drakus....because it looks so much alike.
And I must confess, after playing several VN and than this .....well I quit playing VN anymore.
This game is boring. There is the grinding effect. Endless doing the same in the hope that something new pops up. Add that the graphics are rather bland (the reason for my first thought). The story is oh, so many time done before that even the beard of Dumbledore looks short in comparison.
The gameplay....at first you'll not know what to do. Most locations on the map are just placeholder. Of course I know that this is just v0.27.1. but why don't devs can't wait till their game has some flesh before posting it?

Exactly the kinda game I like, high quality 3d and corruption. Hopefully it focuses less on lesbian content in the future as I have no interest at all in it, and it really makes or breaks it. Of course very unfinished but has potential to become something like tomie wants to get married.

Version 02.

Not ready for release. There is a map, but it isn't at all clear how to use it. The MC will go to various unlabelled places and it's unclear whether anything should happen or its just filler. It takes a lot of clicking around just to discover where the MC's apartment is. There's a quest button but I never saw anything listed as a quest.

Visuals are totally average. Story seems non-existent. Gameplay is confusing and irritating. The dev needs to decide what they want to players to have fun doing in this game, and then make it possible for them to do so.
