Ren'Py - Furry Chronicles: The Beginning [v0.1] [Growth Guru]

4/5 Stars. Really enjoyed it especially for being an early (v0.1) version.

However to see the bulk of the content, it can be easily considered to be overly grindy. (It required bringing up a wiki for it to find recipes. I've only ever actually bothered to look at a game's wiki 2 times out of all the games I've tried off f95... ever.)

That being said, the mini-games didn't actually make me feel like I was wasting my time, but more that I rarely found myself actually bothering to spend the time checking a wiki versus simply Alt-F4'ing and giving up on a game.

Ultimately a little less grind, at least until more story/ero/etc content makes it's way into the game, as I feel time spent grinding has a limited reward via new content currently.

DISCLAIMER: As of writing this the version on f95 is quite out of date, go to the developers itch.io to get a more up to date version.

While there isn't a whole lot here at the current moment for an early alpha I see some potential here. I also applaud the us of AI art as placeholders while the developers feel out the style they want to go with and commission artists accordingly. In the more up to date version several characters have manual art for them rather than AI but it makes more sense at this point to just roll forward.

The worst thing I'll say for this game is that it's not very directed and doesn't explain much to the player, entire gameplay sections like cooking being cimpletely unexplained in the game proper.
