VN - Ren'Py - Game of Hearts [Ch.5 R1] [SparkHG]

So far, so good!

I'm interested enough in the narrative and for the most part the writing isn't terrible, but it tends to ramble on and get somewhat repetitious. Y'all could stand to break out a thesaurus, is all I'm saying. Also spelling / grammar errors are fairly abundant.

However the renders are pretty good and I appreciate the balancing act involved in the choices you make during intimate scenes. I don't know if there's actually failure states or alternative routes that might play out if you do things 'wrong' but paying attention to those bars at least made me feel like I was doing something.

Anyway - I enjoyed it and will be keeping an eye out for future updates.

Review Game of Hearts - Ch.4

Art/Graphics/Animations: 5/5
Renders are very good; the body/texture details on every scene are great; the face expressions are done nicely, as well as private parts that are well done. Animations are on point; wasn't disappointed at any time it came.


Story: 4/5
Story is intriguing, but not a lot of story; more like a lot of seducing, but it's ok after all, it has some minors English errors, but who am I to say anything about it?

Models: 5/5
Like i said, texture, body, and private parts are well done and love that it's not the average skinny girl's body; all 3 girls have a different one (for what i could see)

Content: 5/5
It's a VN, choices matter, they impact on how you talk with the girls and how they respond to you. The music is very good, I hadn't seen a game that used music so well.


Cons: Not a lot of story behind it all.

I really enjoyed it, and i think that if yall can, should go support the author. Worth it.

Overall Score: 5/5

Please don't abundant it . Its going great . I am Glued to it. Lol . Each Chapter put me to the edge of my Chair. I am more indulged myself to the story Line Instead of sex parts . Though sex scenes are amazing with those thoughts of MC and others but All in All I find this VN at the best . Keep it up.

On a ten point scale this novel is a 20, it competes in its own league with the very few other titles that have this kind of quality to put out in general, and when it comes to its focus on eroticism there probably is no competition here. Extremely high production value from real artists who know exactly what their product is.

Must say that I only chose to start playing this game for the Meredith pic... Liked the proportioned plump body and innocent clean eyes... Don't like much of the dark story path style but, however, it's very well structured written and the drawings superb! It feels written by a woman, I suppose, considering the knowledge of the feminine feeling and their conflicts with the need of being loved and protected, with caution... Well, loving the paced corruption, but I'm aiming for a final romance with Meredith. Yes, she deserve it and has the potential to gain it. Maybe in a lost island in a middle of the two different worlds with the help of the ever hiding Ruby... Concluding with a BRAVO for your work and expecting that your minds keep producing so much quality. Obrigado.

TL;DR = a nice mix of a romance and a supernatural drama. A lot of sex.

Story: 4/5
Pros:
+ This young dude had an amnesia. He will find out he is secretly demon and he needs to awaken his powers in order to survive. Luckily he can raise his powers by seducing women. Hehe.
+ Story revolves around seducing two MILFs and one younger girl. Especially that young girl is super cute.
+ In addition there is this supernatural drama involved. Although story isnt very deep.
+ If you want some fuckfest and dont care about deeper plot, then this is perfect.
Cons:
- Only downside is the fact, that there is not enough story. So far the story feels like an excuse for MC to seduce women.

Art and Sex stuff: 5/5
Pros:
+ Renders are very good.
+ Girls are hot. Especially that younger female is super hot.
+ Sex scenes are good.
+ Game has good sex animations.
+ Since main story revolves around seducing women and making them sex crazy, you should expect a lot of sex. Yes, majority of gameplay revolves around sex. Kek.

Gameplay: 5/5
Pros:
+ This is typical VN with choices.
+ Choices have an impact on gameplay. They will mostly influence the kind of relationship you have with women. They can either fall madly in love with you or they can become nymphos starved for your touch.
+ English is decent. (only some typo here and there)
+ The game has good soundtrack.
+ Sex scenes also have an interesting minigame involved. You balance various actions so you dont come too early and the girl has multiple orgasms. Or you can fail and continue with some consequences. Very interesting gameplay element.

To sum it up:
I really enjoyed this game. You should definitely check it out.

Fantastic game. Great renders, great writing with only the occasional typo, and a good storyline so far. I really like the way sex scenes are handled as interactive events and puzzles (where you have to manage arousal, attraction, corruption and caution) rather than just slideshows or movies. I finished my playthrough and immediately went to Patreon to support it.

Ch.4 P2 R1

Elaborate dialogues (confrontational and seductive) that combined with the characters and the music (which impressed me) really generate an exciting atmosphere for the reader, thus also the whole story so far very enjoyable to follow.
It is a VN with choices, during the seduction action that, for each individual sexual interaction, end with a score indicating the rating with which MC handled the event.

For me, a rare example here of writing appropriate to a sex novel.
Oddly enough to date only 182 funders and I think it deserves many more when compared to some over-funded projects where the effort of implementation compared to this one is insignificant, but that's just my opinion.

You have to wait a while to get the update but I think it is worth it.

Well, this is probably one of the best, if not the best vn on this site.

Story: fresh, engaging, quite unique
Characters: feel real in a wholesome way.
Renders: simply beautiful with plenty of details
Animations: Really, really good one of the best i´ve seen.
Choices: plenty and they do matter focussing on either attraction or corruption.
Skilltree?: you gain demonic energy and have to decide how to spend then, i like it.

Play this vn, you will not be dissapointed!
Oh, and yeah this dev deserves support and i support him.

I think it is one of the best games out there. I can't believe more people don't talk about it. The renders, bgm, characters everything is magnificent . The story is also really good . I hope they add more content and a gallery option.

The only problem for me is the pacing of the story. It is really slow.


Thanks for creating this game...

There are games that fancy themselves being a slow burn and then there's this. A story that's trying to cook a pot of Raman noodles with a birthday candle. Eventually, most people are going to say fuck it and throw that shit in the microwave. By holding down skip. Some will say this is well-written and I wouldn't necessarily disagree. It doesn't suffer from lack of proofreading, it's HOW it's written that makes it extremely frustrating to play. The writing is VERY wordy and often quite bland. Using words like.. genitals or trying to convey passion but falls flat thanks to the devs being typical porn makers. They have no interest in showing men giving women oral. Thus the MC does little more the finger them while they all suck his dick in every sex scene because of course they do. In essence, this game straddles the line between a softcore erotic novel you'd get from a library because of how pretentiously it's written. And cheesy male centric porn because of how much it revolves around the MC.

Other than that, the sheer amount of MC worship and how anchored the story is to his POV is insipid AF. Even when the women have internal dialog, most of the time it's from the perspective of the MC reading her thoughts. Or it's HIM describing what she's feeling at pivotal moments that could have been used for prime character development material. Instead, it's used to make the MC look omnipotent. Such as a woman being alone, masturbating. You'd better believe he's going to be present somehow, narrating it. Bottom line, there's too much puppeteering going on in this story and it stinks.

very beautiful renders, the girls are unique and it's good to see proper thic characters for once. and the story also is intriguing and well told. good luck with this project and wishing the creator all the very best

This is the best game I know. Renders, dialogue, story... really top notch. The emotional resonance of all the characters is so deep; I admire the writer's perspicacity. I salute the dev, and look forward to their work, in any form. Bravo/a!

This game is amazing. Seriously. I am so excited every time I see a new release and I stop everything I am doing to check it out.

It may just be me and my kinks, but OMG I wish I could give this thing more stars. It's like the dev themselves are demons and reached into my mind to know what kind of VN I wanted.

I would imagine there are people who will not like it, but I will not be one of them. This is so clearly my #1 VN that it is not even close. The space between #1 and #2 is just miles apart. Seriously.

Thank you dev, for an amazing game.

You have to download and at least give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

This one was a great surprise. The LIs look amazing, they're quite unique with the exception of Julia, but she's cool too although I do hope to see more variety on future updates. The story is pretty ok, but it does have a lot of room for improvement. It has a nice and welcome dynamic on sex scenes as well. Just great job overall.

I'm giving this game 5 stars. The visuals are top-notch, especially in the steamy scenes

The corruption gameplay loop adds depth, but the singular focus on one character sidelines the overall narrative

Writing fluctuates slightly, somtimes detracting scenes, but mostly enhancing. Recommended for corruption and neotori fans seeking some nice and engaging gameplay

One of the best animated Games on the Site so far, the Graphics are really well made and the Girls/and Woman in the game stunning good looking .
I think the Quality of the Masterwork will only rise with Time the Developer have to experiment with his/her Skills
I hope at some point we get permanent access to the upgrade Cube,a bit anoying to have to wait for new upgrades when they can help in the next follower Case.
I really would like when MC could get some general Upgrades what work on all Girls/Woman/Demons scince this is about a WAR between Demons some fighting oriented Skills would be cool

This game really churns out the content. The models and animations are in the top tier of current adult games, and the amount of content that has been released during the short time it's been out, would put many other Patreon games to shame.

I'm a big fan of the pacing and character development. The character back stories go deep, but it never feels like an exposition dump since it's all relevant to the main story, and it's told gradually in between the phenomenal scenes.

The influence system is interesting since it's purposeful to the story, but I can never decide which route I want MC to take, so that is frustrating.

3 out of 5.

Has the potential to be much, much more; the visuals are fantastic, the music is decent, and the overall story is a little schlocky and rushed so far but entertaining enough. The sex scenes are actually pretty great- the focus on female pleasure actually makes the game feel erotic. I generally like the characters' personalities and their interactions, too. So what's the problem?

The writing. It's... not good. The prose, the grammar, the syntax; the dev's grasp of English is rough. It's entirely functional, but he doesn't understand past or present tenses (sometimes mixing them up in the middle of a sentence), he uses purple prose in situations that don't call for it, he mixes up words (he said "ravished", but I guarantee he meant "famished"), and he doesn't understand double negatives ("If I left, our money problems would never cease to disappear", meaning that the problems would never stop going away). There's a speedbump in almost every line that keeps me from enjoying the story. Write how people talk, dammit. Sure, people don't use 100% correct grammar when they speak, but they hardly ever make these kinds of mistakes, and they never sound this robotic.

EDIT: I want to add something- the more I think about it, the more I want to emphasize how bad the purple prose is. For those who don't know, "purple prose" is when the writer uses excessively flowery language, thinking it makes their writing look more impressive, intellectual or poetic, or simply in an effort to cover up the prose's faults. The dev is doing all those things here. The writing isn't nearly as smart as it thinks it is; lines like "Perhaps my naivety spoke a few decibels too loud" or "in this distance, every twitch of the muscle, every flutter of her eyelids played on the canvas of my corneas" aren't clever. They're pretentious and irritating. You're not painting a picture with your words- your scrawling with crayon. Pull back. Drop the excessive metaphors. Use more conversational prose; believable dialogue has more impact that overwrought glurge.

The dev desperately needs a competent English proofreader and editor to go over the game. Fix the dialogue, and you've got a real treat.

I have a scar on my face and a veiny penis, but the ladies still love me. If I would have known that, I would have run with scissor more often and deprived my weiner of oxygen. Everything about this game is ok. I can tell the author cares about the novel and I bet this gets better with time. As it stands (Chapter 4), I almost had a fappable moment with the wife, but the weird angles (never see this lady's boobs, vjay, and face in the same shot) left me hanging. COME ON!
