Ren'Py - Forgotten Cove [v0.080] [Passion Pixels Games]

Honestly, I don’t get the hate here. Yeah, earlier versions were rough, but the recent updates completely changed the vibe of the game. The dev actually listens and you can feel it. The island finally feels alive — tasks make more sense, scenes are smoother, and the new UI changes are a huge upgrade.


The atmosphere, the tension, the sandbox loops… it all finally clicks. And the renders? Way better now. Characters look like they actually belong to the same world instead of random assets mashed together.


I’m also seeing people whining about relationships or customization screens, but at least the dev gives you options? I’d rather set things the way I want than be forced into some cringe premade setup.


Anyway, I can see this becoming one of the better island-survival adult games if the dev keeps the pace. For the first time, the project feels like it found its direction.
Definitely worth checking out now.

absolute bullshit. I usually dont review games but this game pisses me off/ Mofo went to 0.06 by 3 updates. played at 0.06 shit only has bamboo cutting and stone collecting. Unnecessary bullshit but nothing else. Has a peek scene at the start of the game, and that's it. Even I can make this shit in 2 hrs but better.

V 0.080:
Okay, hear me out. The game actually improved a lot. There are still some improvements and bug fixes needed like error of missing images, but pretty sure they will solve that.

I am not really a fan of how your task list looks like. Somehow I had tasks visible which I couldnt even do, so why not hiding those. Then there is a task to light candle before the night. Simple task but why do I have to do that since there is not action causing it? Like as example "Light the candle before night and maybe you will see some actions" Like a girl is touching herself or something. I also feel like the tasks should cause more actions, like the watching bath one, you let players click or catch the green part and then it says "more updates soon". Like this is a red flag times 1000. Like give us something, without the cheats, I wouldnt even see tits or something. And one more thing about tasks. Lock those, if we still have to do other things, like the night at the fire place scene triggered once and I build a house. Why so quick? Let us have some fun at the fire.

V 0.060:
Well, the game reminds more of Stranded Dick tbh.
Anyways if you use the code and change all the relations and then change the name of yourself after, then its reverting your changes lol
Then the game closes after like 5-10 mins without any errors.

Seems promising but its really early state I would say.

Played 0.20, excessive number of confusing relationship customization screens. Mediocre characters, abysmal writing with a MC that only thinks with his genitals. Not recommended.

For more detail: I don't think you should need to define EACH INDIVIDUAL member that has the same relationship (example, I should only have to define sister once, father once, etc., plus each screen should say to the effect of John Doe is Jane Doe's fill-in-the-blank? Also I shouldn't be asked to define their relationship until I meet them in game. The characters look like they're out of central casting. And it is possible to write a story where the player does get content without the MC thinking only with his genitals. Most egregiously when the MC has to perform CPR on someone he claims to care about deeply, and his first thought is BOOBS! And while it isn't part of the review of the game itself, I do think the developers' questionable marketing choices (to put it nicely) does bear some scrutiny as well. Overall as it stands now I can not recommend this game.

No real story
To short
Renders are good
version 0.020

no bugs
Wouldn't recommend it for now
there is no story
you getting shot your dad or whatever you name him ask you wake up your family
you ride the car to the plain
the plain get's shot down you end up on a island
you choose who to save you help the person you save
The end
that's literally where the game ends
can already see the game is gonna suffer from to many characters

(Review of v0.020)

So this is a sandbox where you basically escape the mafia and end up stranded in an island with your family, if you redefine the relationships that is: two sisters, mom and a friend of your father, who died along the way.

For now this is a demo that lasts about 10 mins. The writing needs to be improved as the situations and behaviour of the MC don't make sense (perving on a girl who he just rescued from drowning, running after being shot three times, etc.). Visuals are very vanilla and there's some decent sound F/X. There isn't much else worth mentioning.

Not worth the download for the time being, it needs more content.
