Ren'Py - Fashion Business [Ep.4 v9.02 Extra] [DecentMonkey]

Game version: [Ep. 2 v0.2]

What a hidden gem. One of the few games that actually feel like a real game without descending into becoming a dumb grind. Though the systems are pretty underused so far, I think there were literally two points in the game where you need to use an item, but it's still early.

The renders are high quality, the characters look unique and interesting. I'm a big fan of this style of game where you see the main character in the scene while walking around and wish more games tried this, it feels a lot more immersive than just jumping from empty room to empty room.

The grammar is kind of bad in some places, but funnily enough it actually works out great when it's in Monica's voice because it makes her more endearing and kind of works with her character because she's supposed to be from another country. I really enjoyed her little comments when you click on background items, especially her irrational fear of candelabras. Not a big fan of the tons of background items that don't really have any interesting reactions and just seem to exist to pad out the playing time though.

I liked that you could kind of steer Monica's character a bit and I actually came to like her while playing in a non-bitchy way. Or as the game says "as much as that's possible for Monica."

The plot isn't very believable, but it serves its function and fairly quickly leads to some interesting situations. The game is still fairly light on sex scenes, with most of them being literal filler that doesn't involve Monica at all, but they are all well done and make me look forward to the next release.

Looking forward to more content, with some more work this could easily be a 5/5 game for me.

Excellent game so far (0.5). A massive quality work. Many CGIs for each moment, interesting plot that evolves differently according to choices, a few grammar mistakes, very good sex scenes. Only annoiance: there could be more saving points, saving is impossible at choice dialogue.

so awesome game i cant wait the next update of her story . maybe need more coruption and blackmail scene in bad ending . need walkthrough and CG too . but i just wanna say i love this game . keep it up bro

Graphics are pretty good with a lot of animations, there are a lot of choices you can make throughout the game that might have consequences though I just couldn't get invested in the game simply because of engrish. Some grammar mistakes, typos here and there. Once it get fixed, I might revisit it.

The lead character is so damn HOT. Those legs!! Dayumm!! Unfortunately this babe's an annoying bitch at times but that's what I like about her. Slow corruption, you also feel sad for her at times. Renders are top notch. The atmosphere is great. You should definitely try this renpy game. I like the fact that she runs a fashion company. Will she stay at the top or not? That's upto you to find out.

The only thing this game can offer is the animation and renders which are pretty good quality, but nothing to write home about. It also dabs into some less prevalent fetishes with rape and supposedly bestiality (which as of now is not in the game). Other than that the game has abysmal writing and paired with broken english it really is a nightmare to get through. MC might be the worst written character in the genre ever, and the others might as well not be there at all. Furthermore, the intro teases you into believing the game plays out differently based on your actions which is not the case at all. No matter your choices story follows the exact same path aside from premature endings that you can reach if you're good/bad enough. The game is a rotten apple in a nice wrapping. Unless you're into the fetishes included in the game and some heavy degradation, I would steer clear of it.

Amazing game, love the various degrading things Monica has to do to survive in the new world (the world she forgot existed).
Happy about the RenPy transformation as well, much more enjoyable.
Can't wait for more content!

This game stands out from most other games. The artwork is top notch. It is well written. I like how the game has a built-in system that allows you to play on the nice/bitch scale. This allows you to do downright nasty things, or be compassionate and kind. The creator also seems to regularly update the game about once every month or so too which means you are not waiting forever for new content. It is better than the old version of this game as it branches out, and uses a better engine. With this version completed (0.5) from here on out we can look forward to 100% fresh content as we have finally have caught up to the RPGM version.

EDIT : Revising rating from 5 stars to 3 due to episode 2 grind fest. I have now lost interest in this game completely, and it seems that the developer has as well.

Old review:
Another amazing version, decentmonkey! The ideas you have are so good and the game is soo funny at times. And the ending, what a masterpiece. You have some amazing skills in story as well as graphics!

Well, where to start?
The idea of the game is really great, it's not the usual "woman has bad luck and is stupid and is transfered to a mindless slut" thing, the MC really has character.
The renderings are just awesome, so is the humor of the dev. Often it's really funny to read the dialogues. He doesn't just write text, you can feel his ideas and the depth of the characters.
Another point is, the dev really is open to positive criticism and feedback and tries to react to that.
Imho, one of the very best games out there. If there was a sixth star, this game would have earned it!

Original game and concept, with a female MC who is acting like a bitch with money and power, which is quite unusual to other games with Female MC, and then, the fall, it's clearly different to common games with Female MC where the girl soon become a sextoy without trying to defend herself. Here it's not the case, Monica has a strong personnality and it's really amazing to see that despite her losing everything, she still doesn't hesitate to flame the males that try to take advantage of her. The renders on models are really good, no exagerated boobs/ass, they're all sexy and natural. Some dialogs are just hilarious, some sex scenes are hot, animations are fluid (and multiple point of view which make them even more interesting), musics are appropriated to each situations, well, a must play !

OK let's give the reviews score some justice by balancing the crap that I had to read in some of those: the way the MC is characterized is one of the reasons the game is a gem (and not the contrary), is fun and hilarious. The art is gorgeous and there are multiple posis for each animated or static scene. Other that that there are a lot of choices and consequences, even if I've yet to understand how far they will go.
