Ren'Py - Completed - Eve's Story [v1.2 Vip] [Drakus]

Okay, finally got around to playing this and here is what I think. I love corruption games and not exactly for normal reasons, that kind of goes for H games in general. They don't "excite" me in the way they are supposed to I think, but run or rape, corruption and true choice consequence games I enjoy for the challenge of going against the grain so to speak. I never use WT or mods because that would leave me no reason to play and I think you learn more about the developer this way. My first goal is usually to get on the "pure" path, so Eve's story was... disappointing in that way most of all for me, because nothing matters. I was in a groundhog day loop for hours, trying to find a pure path of some sort, going to school, work, eating, showers even found time for naps. The problem is I was doing great, the only SE I had was a HJ to a teacher for bad grades, but after the collectors made the first visit life was ok. I was making plenty of money to pay rent(I guess food and utilities are free) so no worries. The only way to move forward was corruption... very sad, so I did and that was funny. The game is defiantly surreal, and not much more than an H chase, that is ok though, it is a H game after all, just no challenge and not enough for me. BTW I only did the one playthrough but didn't see a reason for a second. If I could have given it two and a half stars I would.

Positive points :
- Loli
- Exhibitionism to some point
- Blackmail is somewhat okay

Negative points :
- I've had grindy games before. This one take the top 3 without much problems.
- This is supposed to be a sandbox, but after next to 2 hours of game, the choices you have are only illusions.
- Suuuuuuuuper sloooooooooooow
- Sometimes it's not even grinding a stat you can track, sometime it's "repeat the same day for 2 weeks and something may happen at some point. Maybe."

tl;dr : I think the game is good if you're doing something mainly and playing that game on the side. It will suck the life out of you if you focus on this game. Distract yourself if you have to play it.

In order to make this as clear as possible, I am going to pretend that it is not a porn game. I am going to review this game entirely from the perspective of it being a "wake up, go to school, and take a shower simulator." Ready? Here we go...

I'm not sure if anybody was asking for " Wake Up, Go To School, And Take A Shower Simulator 2022" to be made, but even those few who were must be disappointed by this. There's no challenge to waking up, going to school constitutes occasionally having a conversation with a friend about an old man on a bench, and taking a shower is just one or two clicks. Also, how can a game about waking up, going to school, and showering be so damn grindy?

This game was made to destroy your mouse. Because every...every action is repeated so many times without changes. There are just a few locations but you'll need to visit them dozens times till the story continues. Add that most males look the same (copy paste from his other games).

This game...
Where should I start?
It is grindy. Very grindy.
The story and the corruption is realy good, but the game mechanic is really bad. The more I played the more desperate I got.
There was a bug, which prevented me form going further into the story. Thanks to this forum a got a save, so I could go on. After going on I am not sure, if I should have deleted this game and played something else.

In short:
Story good
Pictures and very short animation also good
game mechanics terrible

I would only recommend it, if you like corruption games and there is nothing better out there.

Ive never seen a game as much as terrible like this one. Playing it is just waste of time. Every in-game tasks are heavily repetitive. Such as you need to work at east 30 times to get 200$ to unlock the next step. This is freaking rediculous.

v0.91
The game is horrible in general...
BUT the girl is so cute and her corruption is... mmm oh yeah!
Despite grind, bad mechanics and poor script it deserves to be played. I hope the next game from this dev will be same kinky but have better quality.

(written for v0.91)
Story: writing is weak, and the bad translation doesn't help much.

Art: the two main girls are pretty cute, but almost everything else is unbearably ugly. At one point the MC has sex with a dog that is literally a png on your screen.

Ero: the game is delivering its events by means of corruption, and it is done shockingly well. The gradual escalation, as well as the pacing of these events is shockingly wonderful. You learn a new "skill" and you are willing to accept much more to be done to you by your teacher, by your boss, etc. Every small event that doesn't advance the story and just solidifies the current norm is wonderful.
After a while the progress just stops though. Despite doing insane corruption advancements, you get 0 new interactions with boss very early on. Your teacher has more events but also stops rather abruptly.
At one point your character starts wearing makeup and contact lenses, and even gets new outfits, but these can never be seen outside of like 2 story events.

Mechanics:
As a player, you must manage your time, of which you have 0 indication for where you are in the day.
You must take showers, which only have story meaning in the first hour in the game and never again. Showers can be ignored but the MC complains and it can be annoying.
You must eat at least every few days. You are stopped through your progress if you don't eat in time. So far in my 6 hours or so, there was exactly 1 kitchen event, and not even that was tied to her eating. There may have been plans for it before, but the whole mechanic currently is a waste of time.
You must grind for money. Grinding is slow and exhausting, which fits the story well. But even as you get better at sex, you still never get job improvements (except for a meager 50 bucks a week bonus). It just feels like a wasted opportunity.
Sometimes you get a deadline to do something. Grandpa gives you a month to gather 300 bucks. Even if you have the money ready the next day, you cannot progress the story until that deadline is actually reached. So you just sit there skipping time.
Another mechanic is corruption points. These should just be removed. At the early game these are pointlessly grindy. At the midgame you just rack them up normally with no effort just from playing the game. This also stops being a requirement, so by late game you really cannot tell if these points even do anything.
The final badly designed mechanic is grades. It is simple, you study or go to school to maintain your grade, or else you get in trouble. You spend tons of effort to keep your grade up, until suddenly you are required to fail, until you are required to have high grades... Both raising and lowering the grade is excruciatingly slow. You also have to balance your mornings between making money and going to school, it is mitigated by doing favors for the teacher. Your favors become more and more corrupted, but despite doing bigger favors, you don't get any more points.
Studying is just broken, if you leave your room once, you cannot study anymore for the day. Your grades also decay over weekend, even though you cannot go to school on those days.

The game is best at the midway, when you don't jsut grind for one thing, but unlock more events every week. At one point I had walks with dad, training with grandpa, random assaults by teacher, all in the same day. That was the only time when gameplay didn't feel soulsuckingly exhausting.
It is a shockingly good corruption game, crippled by badly designed game mechanics.

Girl's cute and this kind of premise is my guilty pleasure, but the grind is unreal enough to ruin the experience.

Also, as far as I can tell, eating is completely useless and yet you have to do it before sleeping for whatever reason.

Not bad at all, the main girl is really cute, and I'm a sucker for corruption games.
Sex scenes are kinda eh, the animation is pretty janky, either have sex scenes or still images, not this half assed shit..
This experience of this game is enhanced by cheats so use them if things get grindy.

Old guy is definitely the most interesting character, not really a fan of the dad.
I really hope this gets more updates

The premise of this game and main character model are pretty good but that's all this VN has going for it. The writing is terrible and made worse by the terrible English. Not only that but the lack of content is laughable. Each update has about 30 seconds of content that is stretched out over days and days of sandbox grind until something happens. Don't waste your time on this.

I am not into this type of games exactly but this one is not bad. Before v.0.61 it is kind of tedious and repeatable but v.0.61 changed everything - very good content and felt like zero grinding.
I have a problem with full screen mode - while you have it as an option the screen remains much smaller than my "full screen". Not sure if it's just me and how to fix it.

I would rate this 3.5 stars as it would definitely benefit from better images but it certainly doesn't deserve all the negative reviews. Have you seen how many "games" on here have brilliant images and then absolute dribble for dialogue or no story of merit at all just "hello, sex, hello, sex.... and no character development at all". Very few get it perfect so give this game credit for a credible pace to Eve's corruption. And personally I found the grind OK as it is easy to skim and is far less than in plenty of the games. I nearly didn't play the game because of all the negative reviews, but I found it engaging and very enjoyable. Well worth a play through.
Looking forward to the next update

review based on 0.61

This game is one of these where i wish you would be able to give 0 stars.
NOTHING good around this crap.
Renders are even too bad to be compared to those 10 years ago.
Storytelling is possibly the worst i've ever seen on this site.
"sex scenes" are mostly 3 random put images which don't even match together.
I don't want to speak about the horrible style of writing itself.
On top of that, it's a needless horrible grind for being "rewarded" with crap.
I suggest to better go read a book where you can at least imagine the scenes and flesh them out the way you like rather than being forced to watch this shit.
Save your bandwidth and your time for downloading it - just skip - it's not even worth to complain about in thread.

Sorry but this game is probably the worst in the site. First of all the "sex" scenes are 1 2 or 3 lopped frames gif, thats it, if you clic the scene is over, not that there was much to see anyway.

And then the game is grindy as fuck, and for the little to nothing that offers, its a total and absolute waste of time. Theere is not a single transistion to anything, cum just appears in the girls body, and most of the times you dont know how it ended there.

The English is horrible, and i have watched quite a decent amount of chinese animations with horrible translations, thi is of the same level, fo rinstance pronouns are broken, and it seems eveyrbody talkd thr same way, it looks kind of MTL.

The plot is stupid, and characters are stupid as rocks. Color palete for eveything is too bright, so, you will need certain settings in your monitor if you want to see the girl covered in cum, cause is barely visible.

Sriously this is a disaster, dont make the same mistake i did, dont play it.

It has an interesting concept, but then it does everything wrong in terms of developing it into a believable or interesting story. Bad English translation. Grindy as fuck to boot. Gave up after a while.

I want to like this game more than I do.

The premise holds a lot of appeal, and I like that the MC doesn't immediately turn into a slut like a lot of the corruption games out there.

At the stage the game is at she still doesn't like what she's forced to do a lot of times. The exception being the scenes with her father, that she actually drives.

Still, it has absolutely horrible design. You have to shower and eat regularly. Why? It doesn't cost anything. It doesn't have any actual effect. Its just kind of there.

And it is gindalicious. SO much grind.

And lastly the translation (if it is translated and not just horribly written) is atrocious. Given the sparse nature of the dialogue it should only take someone about 30 minutes, tops, to edit all of it. A single native english speaker could raise the quality of the writing ten fold on a single pass.

Its that bad.


Despite the negatives, though, the premise alone keeps me playing, thus far.

Uh, the graphics are really rough, the game play repetitive, not really a VN as there's no actual story.

But it is addictive. I played it for about 30 minutes. Which is a lot longer than I thought I would.

Currently nearly unplayable. The grind is both atrocious and poorly explained, and there are tons of QOL things (like listing the time of day or explaining some of the odder stats) that are simply missing.

2* and not one because the story is good in concept, and because the MC's model is pretty cute. This has the potential to be a pretty good game once there's either a cheat mod or a systems rework.

@ bigdog_69

maybe you meant this review for antoher game (ok its kinda ridiculous to even call that a review) but how in the world could you give this thing 5 stars?

There is just NOTHING good about this game... ok besides the girl looks cute, but thats it... no dialogues with any sense, terrible writing overall, no story, no nothing... its just garbage. And there is zero potential to this game, this cant be any good in the future... just dont download, its a waste of time... if you find the girl cute, watch the screnshots from the starting post, its all you need and you will not get any more out of this game.

But Drakus has made some games now.. they are all terrible, and really bad quality. So no surprise here...
