Ren'Py - Abandoned - False Hero [v0.39.1 Beta] [Enyo Eerie]

I don't know what happened with this game but as of v0.37, this game is going in a wrong direction.

Its story doesn't have any unexpectedness nor progress in relationships. As a result, it became so boring.

Renders with warm color temperature and dark theme looked cool at first. Most of renders are same renders, for example, with actor's head little twisted and mouth opened more. Many groups of 20-30 renders were made in that manner.

As for game mechanism, I don't understand why I have to click location buttons so many times. It's just requesting unnecessary user actions. Dev made a VN into a clicking game without a good reason.

Conclusion: boring stories, repeated renders, and unnecessary game mechanisms.

Ver 0.37

Beautiful art and models.. good story.. As game story is still under development let's hope we will get good ammount of content to play.. Sandbox mechanism is simple to play..
Not recommended for quick fappers..
Good luck DEV

Review for 0.37

Over all a fun game to try out. The renders are beautiful and the story is mostly intriguing. The story with the MC's childhood friend and the twins are the most interesting for me. The one negative in this game is the grammar. HOWEVER, it isn't horrible. There were a few time that the grammar was bad off, but that was only in a series of stories featuring the twins. If I'm not mistaken, the developer warned about this at the beginning the game. Like I said, it isn't bad. I managed to get through the story with no issue. I look forward to the next update!

I recommend taking this game for a spin.

Good game with nice renders but holy hell is the writing terrible. Quite a shame because otherwise it would be pretty much a stellar game. But I cant help to laugh at how bad it's written.

Otherwise, great renders and characters.

Renders: 5/5
Man the girls look incredible. Tiffany looks so god damn beautiful! Nothing I can add to that.

Story: 3/5
I get our part is the calm psychopath with the goal to corrupt many women but sometimes I skip some parts because I just didn't see the purpose of doing so.
Also I feel like the story has been changed three times now, so it really is weird to understand what the path we go actually is, even though it's obvious we're going for corruption as in means of revenge because of a trauma we received.

Absolutely terrific. What a Gem, and only improving as it updates, Really loved the slow pace and genuine natural interaction of characters, and it truly felt like a story to be invested into. Great work.

The art in this game is FANTASTIC. Really really good. Scenes dont have animation but the great art makes up for that. The issue here is how grindy progression feels. You have to keep going to the same places at certain times of the day in order to progress with each girl. That gets a bit boring quite fast.

The weirdest thing is that the game has so little content and it has been in development since 2018. Not sure if the development got paused for a while, but that's a bit concerning.

v035

This game provided me with the ultimate NTR experience. Not only can you forbid a married woman from having sex with her husband making him sexually frustrated, not only can you forbid that same woman from touching herself turning her into a sexually frusted, submissive, easily exploitable mess, but the game also cuts off RIGHT BEFORE things finally started to get sexy, so I, the player, can't get off either.
I never before played a game that so perfectly blueballed everyone involved. 10/10 game, well done dev.

My eyes were blessed, but there's still some room for improvements.
We must know our mistakes if we want to improve.
-Renders are godlike but sometimes the facial expressions could be livelier, especially if the situation escalates.

-The timing of events could need a bit more planning. Currently at v0.35
Earl morning ~ Great time for work, but money is not problem; a feature is not fun without a clear purpose.
Noon ~ Jane literally solo this time but Melanie also occupied this time. This gave me a choice to prioritize one the girls, but that also means one of the girls would be left behind thus resulting in a lot of time skipping just to get to noon again to be able to finish their routes. IMO Melanie could be change to a different time.
Late night & Morning were fun until Lucy run out of events

-Some grammatical errors which could be annoying for some players, but the idea is still there which is good, but it could be better!

Great game for an early development. Thanks for creating this game ∠(^ー^)

"The best corruption game you will ever play"...my ass it is!

This is one of the driest, most long-winded VN's on this site. Imagine staring at the the same image for a few minutes as you read some of the most boring texts imaginable...now imagine doing that repeatedly because it's a sandbox game where you repeat the same action day after day to achieve the desirable result. How is that fun?

Pros:
- The description didn't lie about this one thing, it's one of the most beautiful games out there. Renders and character models are stunning.
- Characters are fine. I like that the MC is manipulative and that you have a choice in how good or bad he can be. The female cast however are just mundane and lifeless. They all look so depressed and they always have the same resting bitch face like it's some edgy drama. I do like the twins tho because their interactions with the MC makes him feel a bit caring if you choose to be.

Cons:
- Long winded and repetitive. Seriously there are dialogue segments which repeat day after day after day ("but you want this...no I don't...but you do...but I don't...but you...okay I do")
- Sandbox gameplay. Now it works to a degree here because it feels like you're living day to day but it's just time padding. Mixed with the repetitive day to day activities, it gives the illusion of content size.
- The pay-offs aren't worth the effort. NGL, the sex scenes are dreadful. Some of them feel like it's SFW. The angles at which some shots are taken would make a random passer-by think it's abstract art...it's awkward and not explicit. Many times sexual organs are hidden and/or obscure. Maybe it's to be sensual, erotic and mysterious but after all the reading and clicking you have to do just to get to a scene, no...just no...gimme the porn!
- No animations...seriously? It's 2021...it's time to step it up. Don't make me look at a still frame, have me read out what's happening and make me create a mental sex scene.

This game requires patience to play. I like reading but at the end of the day, I'm here for a sex game and if the pay-off isn't worth my investment then it's a waste of time that I could've spent elsewhere.

Really beautiful, quality work! It was a hard start but hope you will have an easier time from now. I think choices are really important. Games with a lack of choices or meaningless choices are damn boring. Thankfully we don't have this problem here. Don't forget to put nice avoidable NTR in the game.

Fantastic game so far. But I really hope the Dev now focus on story progression and content. At some point you gotta start doing what you gotta start doing. So please. Some may like the changes some may not, still everybody loves the characters and what this game is about so please stop rewriting every thing. Really looking forward what the future of this great corruption/dominance/NTR game brings... still one of the best. But also got a big premise! - its going to take a lot of work to keep the high level of detail concerning so many different characters. Hope the dev stays tru to his/her dreams!

This game is frustratingly disappointing.

Long story short - If you don't like hours of wandering aimlessly and getting teased to the point your balls turn blue, this game isn't for you

It has so much promise:
- Great renders
- Interesting and somewhat unique characters
- Decent dialogue (For the most part)

But it is just lacking in so many ways:
- It's crazy how many hours of gameplay there are with so little happening (the game has been in development for a couple years at this point and you have to really grind through hours upon hours of dialogue for some barely sexual content)
- There is no quest log / nothing directing where to go or when (with few locations and characters you just get used to it)
- No idea as to the impact of your choices (is being a nice guy the right call or are you just being set up to get cucked?)
- MC is often a rapey asshole and you just decide to what degree

The game grabs your attention with these characters and some interesting dynamics and then proceeds to just try and bore you to death.

When this is finished (in likely 5 years time) I'm sure it will be amazing, but it really should be so much better at this stage.

This one is a slow burnish one, but shows promises.

The gameplay is a bit annoying at first, but somehow, you kinda get used to it.

There's a bit of grinding in some fashion, but it remains pretty damn tolerable.
The renders are very decent, and while some choices do not make a whole lot of sense (considering the MC is basically an asshole), the game does remain quite enjoyable for what it is.

This was a huge dissapointment, stray away from this game, unless you like getting blueballed

Love the idea and the girls, hate the execution, the half finished story approach, and the utter lack of content

[As of v0.35]

This work may have the best models and renderings, and a story with expansion potential. But it's more of a pure visual novel than a game. I personally love the characters and their stories, but the game itself is not interesting enough. I'll still be looking forward to subsequent updates though.

[Based on ver 0.35]

So this game has the weirdest development strategy with regards to content that i have seen.

You activate story "events" by going to a specific place and time to activate the story element. So far not strange at all, but instead of finishing up each story element in a character's timeline before going on to the next the developer adds to the next story "event" in the timeline which you have to MANUALLY activate before the previous one is done. So these are not random events but planned structured story elements. i don't know how many times I got a notice of a future event planned for right here. And yet there is multiple manually activated events still to go along the story's timeline.

Here is an idea finish a bloody story element BEFORE moving on to the next. Just to be clear I am not talking about finishing a story but the actual portion of the story you have to activate isn't finished the dev tells you there is an event to be added. But they had time to add multiple other story elements passed the missing content. WTF? This means that some story elements early in the timeline have content intended to be added but there is content on this characters' story that leads you further down the games timeline ensuring you miss said content when it is finished, unless you start again.

I don't want to have to keep fucking replaying the game because the dev keeps adding content earlier in the timeline I already passed. I don't know how many there are but i counted over three so far and it kills the game. I know i am not getting the full story up to a given point, I know I will have to redo the game multiple times because of this and to be honest the story and MC are not that interesting that I want to spend replaying the game.

What is so hard about creating the content linearly? When a story element is FULLY complete move on to the next don't give me 7 partially completed story elements give me 2 or 3 fully completed story elements. So I know when the next update comes out I wont have to restart . After over a dozen releases why are so many of these planned events been ignored while situations further on in time are complete? makes no bloody sense.

I am not impressed with pretty pictures. Games in 2021 with great renders are too common for that to be a PRO in the pros and cons of a game. Sure crappy renders are a con for sure but so many games have great renders that it doesn't mean much in 2021, and they keep getting better so this becomes less and less of a draw for me with each passing year.

I can't recommend this game as one to return to with each update or every other update because of the way the developer approaches adding content. maybe the game will be worth it when completed but who's to say. Unless you like repeating non sex events over and over again with each new release to see if the event to be added was added, but that isn't MY idea of fun.

This is the game with undoubtedly the best graphics. But nothing much else then that. Dialogues are unnecessarily long, sometimes boring with lots of grammatical mistakes. Gameplay too is not very satisfying. Till now the control isn't in players hand because there is hardly any difference whichever choice you choose. MC revolves only around female characters nothing else. Many images are repetitive. Had it been 2018 I would have given it 5 stars but not right now. But still developer is working hard and that's really good. I think there is a lack in story making skills. It's not about the story is bad or nice but one should stick to one story for better or worse instead of keep on changing over two years.

the most non-user-friendly game I've ever played. spent more time finding shortcut keys to play backward and auto-forward than playing the game. you have to click dialogue by dialogue to the end. personally, I hate it. this is a porn game. those games must be as easy and user-friendly as possible. gameplay shouldn't look like some kind of a military mission

This game has some of the best looking models and renders on the site, but then it has some of the worst storytelling, it changes the gameplay/story constantly with updates, so forget trying to use a save game. Without animations it isn't really as good as it could be. It hurts because it looks so good and could be great with a competent writer and a game developer with a plan.
