VN - Unity - Finding Buddies [v0.5.02] [FindingBuddies]

it's actually kinda wild how good this was for it's duration? I'll go ahead and concur with some other reviewers that the dialogue can be kinda clunky in some spots, especially if you're venturing through the first half of the game, but the voice acting take as WILD step up in the right direction when you get towards chapter 2-3, and feels very authentic and realistic (even if the subtitles aren't one to one reflections of that). honestly, playing this felt like I was just going through a much smuttier, male-focused Life Is Strange at some parts- and that's not a diss, it's glowing praise. the slice of life, indie based vibe with a measured yet still captivating pace is very rare to see in an adult centered game, and while porn can still be found with exceptional animation and implementation, it's really odd to sit here and say that even if the scenes themselves were gone I would still be having a good time?? i was legitimately distraught when the game ended in it's 5th chapter and hadn't noticed that my time was up, and I rarely find myself in the position to mourn a steamy game's limits in a good and anticipatory way. all in all, this is to say that this is a very very promising start of something that has a lot of potential to be great, and if the game had a bit more meat or robustness in it's UI and transitioned to full animation I could honestly see this making a splash on Steam for 39.99, easy, that's how quality it is right now. very very eager to see where this goes and how it shapes out to be, because honestly even in it's current form, it stands leagues above other m/m focused games- and I'm excited to stick with the developer as they make it.

Wonderful story, some times some part a bit not so clear, but great rendering of the 3D character.

The characters are also very interesting. Would be great if there is a way to check and see the quest or options easier. The timer for response is a good touch.

I absolutely loved this game; it's perfect. It's been a long time since I've played a game with such a great theme. The graphics are excellent, and the voice acting is fantastic. I hope they can include more languages in the future, even if it's just in the subtitles. I also hope the updates remain frequent.

Best gay Game that I played in a long time
hope it will get consistent updates
I like the graphics. Also really like the setting and character models

Good as hell! the visual renders, voice acting, and romantic scenes collectively create an immersive and engaging experience that stands out in the genre. The graphical renders are stunning, with high-quality textures and meticulous attention to detail that bring the game world to life. Characters are beautifully designed, their expressions and movements fluid and natural, enhancing the emotional depth of the storyline. The environments, from lush landscapes to intricate interiors, are rendered with exceptional realism, drawing players deeper into the game’s universe.

Voice acting in the game is another highlight. The actors deliver their lines with conviction and nuance, bringing each character’s personality and emotions to the forefront. Their performances add layers of authenticity to the dialogue, making interactions more believable and engaging. Whether conveying heartfelt confessions or heated arguments, the voice acting ensures that players are emotionally invested in the characters' journeys.

The romantic scenes are handled with great sensitivity and finesse. They are well-integrated into the narrative, building up naturally through character development and plot progression. These scenes are crafted to evoke genuine emotions, ranging from sweet and tender moments to passionate and intense encounters. The combination of evocative dialogue, expressive voice acting, and visually appealing renders makes these romantic interactions feel authentic and deeply satisfying.

Overall, the game excels in delivering a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience. The exceptional quality of the renders, coupled with outstanding voice acting and thoughtfully crafted romantic scenes, ensures that players are fully immersed and emotionally connected to the story and its characters.

Honestly the only gay game I've seen with such high quality animations, the story is pretty good too, just the translations needs a lot of work.

Hope it doesn't just focus on vanilla content though because it will just fade in with the rest if that's the case

The english is kinda funky, but if you know brazilian portuguese, this game has one of the most realistic dialogues on here.
The characters actually have personalities, and the animations are top notch.
The only things I wish would be better are the choices menu (it is very clunky and the timer to pick one doesn't help), and the ability to skip or loop a scene would be a good addition.
A good surprise is that the game is not bottom focused like most on here, so it is good for all tastes.
Overall a very promising game and already have a good quantity of scenes.
Good luck to the dev.

This isn't my usual preferred genre, but it was a pleasant surprise: Story is original, dialogues don't sound as if they were made by AI, renders are gorgeous and detailed and cinematics are smooth as hell. I also give it my personal stamp of approval that I give to AVNs that have good looking MCs and that resemble the age they're supposed to be.

The only thing that needs fixing are some typos. I'm personally not a fan of the time limit to choose a dialogue, too, but besides that, the AVN had a solid start. Best of luck to the dev and gratz.
