VN - Ren'Py - Fractured Realms [v0.3] [Virt Studios]

I'm really enjoying the exposition of the story on this one. I suppose it takes a while between updates, but I've always like the characters and their interactions: the models are cute, and their personalities are well varied and reasonably complex. The devs are doing a good job of handling the gradual transition of the MC from cluelessness to some degree of understanding his situation and abilities as he is faced with new surprising situations. I look forward to continuing to follow this one.

Closer to a 2.5 star atm..

Good enough looking characters. Two have hairstyles that make them look mentally challenged. Would be nicer to just not see the MC. Characters tend to not look directly at the MC while having conversations.
Some backgrounds are the same as in most other games, such as the park.

The 'animations' are really jerky and made me feel a bit nauseous.
The scenes are very poorly lit. The cafe was nice and bright, but other scenes all looked dark and washed out which made me not want to read much further.

It would really be nice if they put more than 1 word in a text box and more than 1 sentence....
Giggle... click
Oh... click
and short 3 or 4 word sentences.... 1 at a time.....

The story is a bit boring, BUT, it's early. Having minimal choices and no actions has a lot to do that that more like a kinetic novel.

Poor writing decisions such as meeting a waitress then having her want to immediately give you her virginity. Other girls are similar such as within 24 hours they have a crush on the mc and so forth...

Would be nicer if there was a lead in to the magic part rather than just all of the sudden being there and the mc going along with it.

I'd almost give it a 2 star as it is, but I'm betting with just a few changes this will be a Great umm kinetic/vn/whatever. Would be really nice if it were a game.

Another pleasant surprise here!
As is often the case with this type of game, I look at them carefully, and I don't know why it took me so long to get into this one.
The basis of the story here seems really excellent, and gets off to a good start.
However, I'm having more trouble with the writing, some things don't feel natural, there's a lack of information or sometimes it's too childish, the example that comes to mind straight away is that of the maid who kisses him on the mouth with the MC and a very young teenage girl's dialogue follows.
I have a bit of trouble with the MC's face, I don't know why, it makes me want to slap him, but that's not a problem because we don't see it all the time either.
Anyway, I like the story and can't wait to see what happens next.

Not sure about this one yet, its still very early but i do see some potential for it to become great but also much worse, it all comes down to how the story evolve, kinda get the feeling the magic stuff will go to crazy and ruin the game alltogether and it will become the only thing game will be about, since relationships with LIs wont be a big part other then "fuck her yes/no" like explained below.

Its already showing signs of being boring when it comes to relationships, there seems to be close to no relationship build-up with the LIs, take the maid that you have seen only once before, MC goes with her to a bar and get a HJ after knowning each other for maybe a total of 5 mins and knowing absolutly noting about each other, it dosent make it any better that she is a virgin, it just makes no sense for her to move that fast, and it makes her feel like shes the town whore or something, i guess game tries to blame it on her being super drunk after a single drink.....even though she drinks atleast once a week with her friend but apprently one is enough for her to become super drunk, i dunno it feels more stupid then anything else.

You also meet a female orc and its the same like before you saved her but know nothing about her and she trows her self at MC giving him a BJ and they talked for like a min before that.

This could mean the game will just be yet another fuckfest game where you devolop 0 feelings for any LIs and they just trow them selfs onto the MCs dick, making game meaningless and pointless and boring, and just a porn game with no real story or content.

I am also a bit split on the LIs, some look nice, some are pretty ugly, but their builds seems to be focused on big tits which is just a big turn-off to me, there was really only one i care a little about and thats the maid/Emily, and maybe a little about Callie but so tierd of looking at big tits....

Atleast game promiss you can pick and choice who you want or dont want to be part of your harem, this is a huge plus that might make the game playable so you can say no to the LIs that arent in your taste.

Animations are about average so far, you can enjoy them but not anywhere close to the best.

Music is ok, i would say around average since i have heard alot better in other games, but it ofc it beats being silent by miles.

This might have been a little hard review for a game in an early stage, but its my experince so far, i will review this game again once it has had a few more updates and change it for better or worse depending on how it goes, but for now i rounded it up to 3 stars due to being in early stage.

Version 0.1
Good Graphics, the writting is well done and I haven't spotted any mistakes so far. There is about 1 hour of content. Right now there are no really big choices which is to be expected of such an early release.I
I think this game has potential and am eager to see how it develops.

Version 0.2.2
So far the story continoues to be interesting and there is a lot more content now. Not many choices really just do you want to add this girl or not. But I personally don't mind that there is a lot of lore told each update and the graphics still are good.

I like the "youngish but developing" maturity of the MC. The LI's so far seem cute, lovable, and unique. The story pacing is good. The girls fall for the MC almost immediately but, it's a harem story so, I give it a pass. The introduction of the magical elements are both decent and a little bit rushed but, again not enough to take off points. Renders are a tiny bit on the dark side and the animations are probably the weakest attribute so far but, not bad.

All in all, I'm stuck at about a 4.5 but, since some... body gave an obviously slanted and biased one star review with essentially no justification... I have no problem giving the benefit of the doubt and calling this a 5 star VN.

Hard to believe this one got a 1 on a review tbh.. I found it to be well written with great renders and an interesting beginnings of a story. The ladies met so far were diverse and good looking. Definitely can see this one taking hold and bringing in a crowd of followers. Everything about this says quality.. The only issue I had.. and it was minor.. was the animation quality wasn't quite up to the rest of the work.. something that I can see improving as time goes on.

It looks great, and I dig the synth music that I heard for most of my time with this playthrough, but I glazed over pretty quickly. I feel like this script really needs to be cut down severely, because the pacing makes this unplayable.

The game looks very good for demo and And the story is good now I hope there is more And the characters look very hot Except for a hairstyle of MC everything looks great Thanks for sharing this game I am waiting for the update impatiently

What a fun little demo. Really enjoyed the art, animations and story. Cheeky little cliffhanger as well. My only recommendations to any developer is always double, triple check your translations (trust me I know English is hard however I do not let it deter me from the overall experience) and just a personal preference, allow the readers to adjust the text box opacity. I will definitely keep an eye out as I look forward to further updates and thanks for sharing.
