VN - Ren'Py - FR34KS [v0.3] [Bliss]

5/5 easily for the story, writing, and how it's all packaged together.

I can honestly say this is the only visual novel that I can remember that I've played off of f95 that has had writing/story good enough to make me laugh out loud. The way the game doesn't take itself too seriously but at the same time weaves in complicated / sensitive topics is done great.

While it does have it's ero nature to it, there's not very much content dedicated to full "ero-scenes". That's not to say there aren't a few, but if that's what your purely looking for, I'd say to adjust your expectations for this one.

Also, this one does have content that you can make the wrong choice and get locked out of. If you're worried about that, check the phone icon (top left) and if you've made a choice like that, then the option to click and view scenes for that character won't be clickable. This was a really nice feature, but I wish it was made clear as for a while I thought it meant there just wasn't any additional content for that character.

Easily a definite recommend for me with the caveat of don't be expecting a ton of full ero scenes.

⠀⠀Author goes for classic anime trope of presenting you with initially repulsive/unlikable characters and then gradually expand upon them with tragic backstory or unfortunate life circumstances, to force us to start feeling sympathy for these characters. And he kinda succeeds, at least with the repulsive part.
⠀⠀At first, this novel is mental asylum simulator. Sort of like a mix of funny anime loonies with 8th grader syndrome and nutjobs, each interaction with whom leave you with a sense of annoyance and confusion. And the main character instead of expressing his frustrations, just goes along with all of it. And you know what's the most efficient way of making your mental facility trip to be the most miserable experience? It's when the chief medical officer is the biggest psycho of them all, who's the camp curator here. None of what she does makes sense. Dividing camp into two teams one of which is guaranteed to be expelled from their colleges no matter how well they behave? MC gets sanctioned for getting boners? Organizing paintball competition, where the losers clean the school for two weeks in stead of absent janitor? Hot spring trip? If her goal is to give these "kids" a memorable summer experience then fine, but if this is an actual rehabilitation facility then none of it makes sense. Season all of this nonsense with cringe-inducing comedy and you get a total clown fiesta. Oh, and the lewd scenes are pretty bad btw.

Not sure how to feel about this one. Maybe it gets better sometime in the future, but for now 3/5.

This game is such a steaming pile of crap that it’s almost funny enough to excuse its existence. I don’t usually mind subjecting myself to these cringe-inducing disasters because, sure, I’m a fan of HS2 games, but this one? This one’s so godawful it’s beyond redemption. My brain didn’t just quit; it slit its own wrists after choking down this garbage.

So, the “plot” —if you can even call it that without gagging— is you getting shipped off to some special summer school because you banged two of the principal’s daughters? Wow, edgy. Sounds less like a storyline and more like a sleazy power-trip fantasy cooked up by some basement-dwelling loser with a humiliation kink. And get this: you’re not even the weirdest freak in the room compared to the parade of misfits they call a cast. The writing is so abysmally dogshit it’s humiliating to witness—characters flatter than a pancake run over by a truck and a story so dull it could make a coma patient yawn. The only thing that doesn’t make me want to claw my eyes out is the character design, and even that’s just barely passable—not good, not great, just not total trash.

In short, play it if you hate yourself.

Just.... not good.

The plot if you can even call it that is so convulated and off base it's like its trying to be funny by not taking itself seriously but it just falls so flat it makes it cringe. You will start to CTRL skip through everything hoping maybe i'll just get some good H scenes but theres not even that lol. It's like it wants to be a wacky non serious adventure with no plot but also no H scenes. not for me.

On the plus side... some effort was put into this project. Visually, while it could be better, this HS2 game for once has decent lighting (not something often seen from the very beginning of a project), and attention was paid to the girl models.

...only, the writing is so painfully mid, and the pacing is downright atrocious. An attempt was made to show a bit of the supposed sad backstories of the characters, but the presentation and lack of good pace absolutely ruins them and are not nearly as impactful as the dev likely imagines they are.

With that being said, writing is both the easiest (technically wise) and most difficult (creativity and wordsmithing wise) to fix, and I hope the dev does improve it.

Should it improve, so will the rating.

Let's contribute to the rating of this game for its first release.

More than 1GB to start, that seems wrong because you'd expect less than that for a 0.1, but truth be told this is a very good start.

Sure some images are not correctly compressed but hey that's not why you clicked on this game, right?

You play as a MC who happened to have fucked the principal's daughter, and got transferred into a camp... a summer camp. And boy oh boy is it convenient that you and another shrimp are the only boys in the whole campus, having to team up with other women who are also weirdos.

In this first release, you'll get to know more about the girls, some teasing and some spicy scenes, I didn't skip the dialogues so that means they're not boring, the humour is on point, and we end with cliffhanger, hoping to know more.

Graphically the girls are hot, not the best graphics in the world (I mean beauty is subjective and I prefer a realistic style but this game is good nonetheless), and the audio is pretty good.

I was about to give 4 stars but Blair convinced me to give 5 stars. (Please help me, this yandere will kidnap me)

Alright, a very solid start for the game. You are a student who get punished for fucking around with the wrong person (or people), As a result, you were send to a summer camp where the one who fail will be dispelled from the school.
Character: 8/10, a diverse cast of LIs, about 6-7 so not too many, each has their own secrets and darkness, some made me want to wait for the next update to find out. Main character are alright.
Animation: 8/10, better than average Honey Select
Render: 8/10, once again better than average Honey Select
I think this game has potential so keep up, Dev
