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

I love this game, the renders are excellent, the UI is not complicated and messy. The story is great and the progression has been wonderful to see. I love the concept the game is based on and I cant wait to see more.

Wow a genuine 5 star game. Too many these days get 5 stars even though even in the notes it says it's not perfect SMH. Normally I don't like Netori games, but for some reason the way this is written I like it in this case. Can't wait for the next update.

Edit 11/08/2023 Still a 5 star and if it was possible I would give it even more stars. Keeps getting better and better.

The only thing this game lack is character's voice. At least moaning sound should be there.
Story, Renders and character 5/5 and animations 4/5. Just 2 chapters came out till now and created a good buzz. Also love the use of dark shade as the story is about a so called demon.

I'll count this as one of my favourite games on this platform. The story is actually interesting, the writing is good and most of the characters are really pretty.


Can't wait

This game is genuinely amazing. Between the beautiful renders and the actually fun, intuitive gameplay, I highly recommend giving it a try. If you pay attention to the women's thoughts during the minigame, picking the right options isn't difficult, as their wants / desires line up with their personalities.

An amazing game in the making (as of Chapter 2).
Beautiful renders, great writing, a lot of variation in scenes depending on your choices, with actual "gameplay" mechanics.

I guess adding a couple more songs could really add to the atmosphere, but that's a bit nitpicky at this point.

I love the artistic style, the women are gorgeous but seem more...realistic? I don't know how to describe it. The story so far is great, and the way the scenes have worked has been unbelievable. This is a five-star game through and through. I do wish the MC didn't have the most hot topic style hairdo, hopefully, he loses the mop on his head and he'd be even more attractive, but the amount of choices you have in determining how he reacts is a great way to give him a more personal touch. I am always the most critical of the main character because that is who we see the story in the eyes of, and he is great, 9.9 out of 10, a 10 if he gets a new haircut.

This one blew me away. The romance with Maxime is incredible. I wasn't even 10 minutes into the game and I was already loving Maxime. The progression with Meredith is also incredible. Usually, when I play these games I'm always bracing myself for some ridiculous scenario, totally out of place even in fiction, but this one just kept proving me wrong. The renders, the plot development, the relationships and even the gameplay are on point.

This game is also incredibly sensual and it goes to show that you don't need to create the most unrealistically beautiful goddesses to elicit arousal or interest. The fact that Maxime and Meredith aren't out-of-this-world goddesses only adds to the depth of their interactions.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the interactions with Julia that much. Whilst Julia is a cool character, the interactions with her land on the cilché side of things, what with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl thing she's got going on. The fact that she used that power on MC only detracted from the experience. That would only help if you're looking to get dominated, but that's not what I expected from this game and I really enjoy seeing an assertive and confident MC for once.

Now, if going further, the dev changes the dynamics of the relationship with Julia, then I'd be confident to say this game is near perfect. Although it still has other minor flaws such as some clunky animations and the thing with Julia, I still think this game deserves the 5-stars.

Still early on in development, but what has been shown so far can rival every other game/vn on this site, the renders are absolutely superb, the LI's are all amazing right now focusing on one who is slowly falling for the MC, MC in a superpowered game would normally for me feel like a powetrip but this is just perfect for the MC to grow as a likeable person despite these powers helping him
Excited to see where this goes further

Play this game for yourself, it's a fricking gem resembling a bit to Chains of Pleasure but this is a complete level up. Top notch animations, renders, likable MC. And a VN in which you can find a combo of sex and love which we rarely see. The sex in this game feels so real. If possible I would have rated it more than 5, lol.

Usually, I won't vote. But, this game is different. After 10 mins of gameplay, I knew this will be 1 of the best visual novel game I ever play. I hope the dev can maintain the story quality until the end.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far the game is wonderful.
I really liked the story, it's different and engaging. Milfs are beautiful.
I really hope this game continues, it has a future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Story is only just beginning, but there's already enough fappable content and the developer has set the story up for so many exciting things to happen in the future.

It's really good already and can get so much better.

Immediately it's one of the VNs on here I'm most looking forward to seeing the development.

Also, there is a review on here giving it a 2/5. That is absolutely ridiculous. Even if you don't like it for whatever reason, the quality is undeniable.

Game of Hearts has a lot going for it. Great renders, music, interesting characters that may or may not become more nuanced as the plot progresses.

The first chapter is like 50% sex. So, if you are seeking an arousing time, it certainly fulfills that wish. However, the power dynamics are very one-dimensional at this point. The MC is fully in control due to his powers and the existence of much more powerful beings that could harm his standing and relationships is only hinted at. Some characters (like the purple haired woman) are only shown but their role is not explained yet.

The plot is basically still in its infancy and the main reason is the huge amount of sex scenes compared to actual plot scenes. There is some talk about imminent danger and the need to acquire power (by having lots of sex) and minigames surrounding the sex, that seems to reward healthy buildup to intimacy instead of going to town and abusing the demonic power. But it's still just sex, it's not really driving the plot forward, it explains nothing and the women are all potential damsels in distress, lacking charisma and influence.
I really hope that they become more daring and determined as they gain access to some of the MC's powers and as the actual plot evolves. Right now, the game plays more like a trainer-type of game. The fact that all women agree to sex with the MC cannot quite hide the fact, that they all do this from a position of weakness and desperation, or because they are manipulated by the MC's demonic charm. It's a grey area between genuine affection and abuse of power.

I see lots of potential in Game of Hearts, but also some traps that could lead to lazy storytelling. It would be easy to make the MC a Chad, that is always in full control, to disregard all his followers to sexual zombies with no wishes and ambitions of their own, or to focus too much on sex at the expense of solid storytelling.
But it's way too early to tell. Right now, there is only potential and beautiful wrapping. I will adjust my review as the plot progresses. (I only reviewed Chapter 1 so far)

I just Would Say it's Similar to Chains Pleasure the Dead Game that Broke a Lot Of People Heart and Made them Sad for The BIg Lost But This ONE oh MAN This one Got a Higher Level In everything Models & Start New Light More Ideas Promising So My Word For the Dev Keep Going as for you my friend who Wanna Try this Game I guess you got an Answer

5/5 as of Chapter 1

There is not much to say other than this is a master piece in the making. Renders are genuinely 11/10. Sex scenes are a 9/10 in terms of animation. Characters are all too damn likable, although the MC does come off as your typical edgy loner who's got a golden cock. Dunno what else to say. There is not a crazy amount of content as of Chapter 1 however there's plenty os well built up sex scenes. The game takes about 20 minutes to finish so I'd recommend just experiencing it for yourself.

Well, what can I say, this is one of the best starts to any AVN I have played.
PROs:

• Excellent renders
• Hot women
• Decent story writing
• Supernatural elements

CONs:

• Slow paced.
• Undecided future
• I don't know

thank you dev for making this game
because of my english who isn't really good i will keep it short
The visual are amazing, the girls look hot. It has already a lot of content for just one chapter, good luck dev u got a great game

Updated Review for Ch.4 R1 (4 stars -> 5 stars)

Returning to this after letting some updates build up, I think it's time to sing this games praises a bit. It's turning into something pretty exceptional.

This game is erotic. Truly erotic. You may say "well no shit it's a porn game," but this really fits the true meaning of the word. Sex scenes don't just feel like a single part/aspect of the game, but rather they are very heavily ingrained into it. They're almost the core of the game. It's hard to know where to begin on describing them. Sex scenes are long. Very long. There's so much effort being put into making full on intimate scenes, to a level I have rarely seen done before. From the choreography, dialogue, emotions, variations, and whatever other little details, they are very well thought out. It's impressive.

Now if you're wondering if this is more of a fuckfest given the emphasis on the sex scenes, the answer is yes? Which is usually pretty bad news for me. Thing is, this game is also very competent. The writing and characters have a ton of thought going into them, to a point where they feel realistic. The narrative, though perhaps something you've seen before, is actually pretty compelling thus far. I'm even liking the MC a lot which is a rarity for me.

I'll also be the first to say that in a world full of magical powers and such, I find mind reading to be a pretty lame one in the grand scheme of things. However, this might be the first AVN I've played where I actually enjoy it. The way it gets engrained naturally into the dialogue is working for me. It can be hot in the sex scenes, and works in an interesting way with the sort of minigame that crops up later. It doesn't feel like something that got thrown in so the MC can conveniently use it at random, but rather an actual important part of the game.

The seduction gameplay was something that felt new. The game explains it better than I would, but trying to navigate between raising arousal and love while making sure not to overdo it added a fun element of interactivity to everything. The many variations, though not wildly different, are still pretty impressive. Also appreciate than I can follow love routes. You essentially become a drug for these women, but I like that they are more addicted to you as a person than just your dick (though they may be addicted to both).

Corruption games tend to not be for me more often than not, but this has really surprised me. I think it might be one of the best takes I've seen of the genre. The premise may not be something new, but with how quality the game feels I don't mind that one bit.

If I had a main complaint, its that I want to see more out of the love interests outside of a sexual light. They have personality, but almost all of the game revolves around sex scenes so far. The element that gets me attached to these characters is showing me the romance that not only happens inside the bedroom, but outside as well. There was actually a perfect moment to do it in that flashback dinner with Maxime, but then the game just skips it. Not going to lie, that was disappointing.

Renders are nice, character models are great, effort put into the music/sounds, and again the game just has a very competent feel to it overall. Very easy to tell that there's a lot of thought and effort going into this. I'm pretty invested now. A bit different from my usual cup of tea, but I suppose I like variety. This is a very solid corruption game thus far.

Damn, this game is REALLY fucking good. It's right up my alley in tone and theme. If you are a fan of genuine affection and feeling in your AVNs, and not just random fuckery. If you like sex scenes that actually focus on maximizing the female partner's pleasure, as the actual end goal for why you are enjoying the sex in the first place. If you aren't about degrading your partner, but reveling in stoking their arousal because it's just so damn intoxicating to get them literally quivering with desire, then this game is for you!

Opening scene is with a nice thicc, curvy milf, and the whole thing is built around pleasuring her. Can't speak for anyone else, but I've always found it more fun IRL to focus my attention on getting my lady friend writhing with need for more pleasure, and so far, pretty much all the scenes in this game center around that. You're not playing some immature, incel douchebag, who wants to do nothing but punish the women around him. You're playing a guy who is fairly well adjusted, has a thing for milfs, and enjoys actually taking the time to get his partner hot and bothered before getting to the thrusting. And that's pretty much how this game works.

It feels very familiar to another game that I'm pretty sure was abandoned years ago, even down to the sex scene on tape and stuff. But frankly, I don't care if it is something of a rehash/reboot, because it's a significant fucking improvement let me tell you. The renders are fantastic, the writing feels natural and thoughtful, as in the writer actually took the time/effort to think about the way 2 humans would speak to each other in such a moment, and describe it beautifully. I liked this one enough to go support it on patreon. I'm definitely eager for more of this. Even though it's a supernatural harem game, and those are a dime a dozen, I do like that the premise of how you succeed, is more built around establishing a genuine connection of intimacy with the women. Not just putting the mind whammy on them and turning them into your fucksluts. The magic doesn't work that well UNLESS you establish a strong bond to them. And I like that. The game also doesn't preclude their free will, one of those really icky parts about any Incubus based story. Their bonding to you is still a CHOICE, and they have to freely do it. And to get them to do it you have to *gasp* form true bonds with them! xD So much more enjoyable for me personally.

Now the one negative I have. I'm not a huge fan of the multiple choice stats/game aspect of it. I've never been a huge fan of it. I get having it there, to make it an actual game instead of just a VN. But the reality, for me at least, is if I pick the wrong outcome, I just scroll back and pick the other anyway. So the "game" part isn't really a game for me, it's more of an application of the brakes in a way if that makes sense? Like I get the point is to give people the choice to play someone more dominant and overpowering, versus someone more sensual and alluring, and having the woman have different reactions accordingly. But I personally find that aspect a tad tedious. Now, to be clear, I'M FINE WITH IT. It's hardly the first game to do that, and it's nothing a good WT mod can't fix, or simply just scrolling back and watching the meters I'm observing, move in the ways I want. But still, it is a slight criticism, but it's very very minor in my opinion.

I highly recommend checking this one out. If you like actual passion and intimacy, and empathy, and compassion in your smut, this is a solid entry in that style.

**Edit for ch2r1 release**
Still a high quality entry. Everything I said above still applies, both good and bad (though that bad is a veeery tiny bad IMO). It was really nice having more sexy fun times to play around with. Renders are still top notch, writing is still very good, though there were a handful of grammatical errors in the script that I don't know if they got fixed with the public release. But I can handle typos. Compared to a lot of the "writing" in these AVN's, that seemed to have been put together by a hamster with a cocaine habit, a few misspellings here and there are hardly a big issue. Ladies are gorgeously rendered, lighting is really nice too. You don't really think about that as much until you notice how few AVNs actually get natural lighting right. This one does a MUCH better job than most. Gives the scenes a nice warm, intimate feel to them, further improving the overall appeal of the game.
Still high quality smut, with an actual good plot. It's not super original, like we've seen this basic premise plenty of times in AVNs, but the way it's presented here, is novel in the approach, and with the care and sincerity it gives to the characters, and to the player. Most AVNs I just Unseen Skip past the dialogue, because it's usually utter trash. This one, I actually read it. So yeah, high recommend. Go support the dev on their various sites. This is the kind of AVN that SHOULD get legit support.
