VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Game of Hearts [Ch.5 R2] [SparkHG]

It has plenty of sex scenes, a nice mini game of corruption/affection while doing so, and a story that keeps you captivating. The LIs are set, you can't avoid them, and you can only lose them if you try really hard! Can't wait for the sequel, this story is definitely going places!

I'll state up front that when it comes to these AVN games, the sex scenes are the most important part to me. A good story and character development is nice to have, and can enhance a scene, but ultimately, I'm looking for sex scenes that are...satisfying.

What is good about the scenes in this game:

• Great build up to and during a scene. The writing was done well.
• The opportunity to have many scenes with Julia.
• The sex mechanic led to many orgasm scenes. I did find those hot.

Unfortunately, I had many more cons:

• Sex scenes featured very few and short animated (i.e., motion) loops.
• No sound effects or sounds of pleasure from your partners (would have been amazing given the orgasm pro above).
• No camera control during scenes.
• No option to select positions to revisit before ending scene.
• No speed control to emulate romantic versus aggressive sex.
• The MCs focus on an unattractive candidate for his harem.

This last bullet has been mentioned in other reviews and is the most baffling thing to me. The developer made the creative decision to make the focus of the MC on a 40-year-old, overweight, relatively plain looking, housewife. The MC is very young and handsome, with the power to win any woman over in the world...and he selects her. I question the wisdom of that choice if you are a developer trying to solicit Patreon subscriptions and plan to sell your game on Steam. I would think you'd want to hook people with an attractive character (even if she were meek and not flashy) to get the support to allow you to do this full time (as the developer states in their final thoughts after the game finishes). The game goes on sale on Steam next week, and I fear reviewers won't be as kind as F95 users who played this game for free. For the developer's sake, I do hope I'm wrong.

That said, I did find the story interesting. It was a good way to explain your goal to build a harem. By the end of the game, I was less interested in the "big reveals" and more interested in who I would win next. Sadly, you are shown another older, only mildly attractive woman as a possible candidate so I don't know if things will improve in House of Hearts.

If you are looking to relieve a little sexual tension with a porn game, this is not it. The lackluster scenes and main unattractive character were barriers for me. However, if you want an interesting story with eye-candy sprinkled throughout, you may enjoy this game as so many other reviewers have.

This is the best writing and story of any adult game I've played, it truly is on par with narrative stories of the medium. The renders are some of the best there are. The thing that makes this one stand out, on top of the excellent quality of the renders and the story, is how perfectly it hits on the feeling of corrupting the women in the game. If the corruption kink is your thing then this is the best your going to get. If you just like great adult games, or honestly just great visual novels, this one is for you.

Interesting decision to make the main girl so much less attractive than the male lead. A 4 main girl with a 9 male... he wouldn't even need mind control to do all that stuff.

Great graphics.

The writing is incredibly bad. Just because it lingers a bit on their incredibly boring pensive expressions doesn't make the character writing any better than a bottom-tier Miel game.

The plot is also thoroughly uninteresting, but I'll forgive that since apparently it's just the very beginning to a long series, maybe it'll pay off at some point, but so far it doesn't.

Amazing writing and story, great renders. The overall narrative is just beginning. I can see this being a great series with half a dozen or even more games in the main storyline, not to mention spinoffs. Excited for the sequel.

This is definitely a good game, but it is not for everyone, at least it was not for me. I found there was just too much of forced interactions to have any space left for joy, romance, and sexiness. Otherwise it is done really well and can be enjoyed by people less sensitive to that.

While I'm not in love with ntr, when its an awesome woman in a underwhelming situation, then I'm in. I can not overstate how amazing this game is. Waiting for updates was beyond painful. I could do a pro and con thing but honestly doing that would be a waste since the only real con is that it's on hiatus.


The set up while not mindblowing is interesting, you're a demon and your dad needs you to gain power. To gain power you need to pretty much get a harem of followers aka women. Again this story isn't amazing but what takes it to the sky is the dialogue (excluding plot heavy scenes). The interactions even in plot heavy scenes is really well done. Every character has an interesting personality and being able to be in their heads when you aren't and are around them is interesting to read. The sex omg the sex, chefs kiss. The tension in scenes that matter and even in ones that are just sex are a feast to watch and read. It's not one of those games where they do a few pumps and done, its almost like a game in itself. The scenes where you need to make shit go well is even more engaging. I swear more games need to do something akin to this game where the entire act of sex is a game in and of itself so you aren't just sitting there watching 2 models slap against eachother. Giving you options makes doing the do even more entertaining and keeps you there a bit longer than you normally would because not only is the sex hot to watch but you also wanna go back and see what minute changes you could and could've got. While the MC's model is pretty basic, he looks good enough and is unique looking in a see of reused models you continually see (since devs don't wanna try anything new like idk using some of the nice black guy models i see everywhere) but i digress, he's a decent mc to steer.

THE WOMEN again i say , chefs kiss. The woman you start the game with already bedding is gorgeous and mature (i love it). She is your first official follower and I personally have no issue with that. She doesn't get much of the spotlight but when she doe's pop up, I was happy to see her and the scene's she partakes in are a amazing. Your new pursuit is on that elusive list of beautifully mundane women in vn games. I don't say this as an insult but as a medal of honor. She looks like a a woman you could imagine seeing on the street going to get groceries. She is one that goes out and doesn't expect any attention to be given to her. a woman that has settled into married life. She is shy, timid and starting out, against all of this. This is what makes engaging with her so interesting. You get to see her inner thoughts, see (though text) her trembling or nervousness, you can see her trying to resist and get it over with. Which is why getting her to open up is such a treat. You get to engage with her multiple times and each time is a treat.

I will say and this is personal but I couldn't make myself get attached the demon girl because she's dark skin and i've (as a black man) grown beyond tired of only being able to engage with black/dark skin women in games like this in a white/pale shell. Again i know this is a personal thing but i suppose i had to come up with a legit gripe even if it is personal.

I'm saying all of this months after playing this which is why im so vague but even so, this game is a masterclass in the genre. I cannot wait to play the next game/chapter/version.

Not going to lie to game is good, the writing, the renders, the outfits. Meredith is very well written, Maxine also, but we don't get to see how their love developed at the start. Really the only thing this game lacks is closure and more content, but that's why there's a second game.

Renders are good, writing is pretty good, story is very good but also very slow. There's a lot of content... a lot. And plenty of it is lewd, the game doesn't bore with lore dumps, but it does weave the story and character arcs through nicely. Lots of mystery, cliffhanger ending and more to explore in future chapters.

There are gameplay elements with selecting dialogue and actions, which I think mostly determine the type of ending you get. It's not very difficult to lose though, which is fine. There doesn't seem to be any new game plus or easy way to try out different endings, but the personally the journey is more entertaining than the final cutscene ending.

I have not played a game that got me hooked in awhile. This is a great game. Loved everything about it. my only complaint like all good things they must come to an end. That you could have superpowers you're a demon Everything about it was perfect

Story is well written, unique and captivating despite the grammar.
Renders and Animations are high quality.
Audio is a bit lacking.
Worth playing, and worthy of the high ratings.
Character's are well written with depth.
My main issue during whole story is that i find both Meredith and Maxime super UNattractive. Basically skipped through most of the early sex scenes and romance 1 on 1's with them.

This game is so incredibly well done. The renders are beautiful, the characters are... alive, interesting, complex, lovely. The story got me hooked from the start. The theme is so well done, the world crafting. This is easily one of the best games I've played in years. The choices you make matter... And the sex, is also part of the gameplay. So instead of mindlessly clicking through heaps of renders during a H-scene, it actually matters, what choices you make. Truly unique. Well done. Well done. This game and the creator, deserve so much praise.

Great storytelling. The NSFW parts didn't get in the way of the plot and the characters, which had wonderful thoughts and stories of their own. Emotional and meaningful moments.

My only personal gripe is that I didn't really like the emphasis on the MC cucking one of the LI's husbands. To me, it actually took away from the experience, instead of enhancing it. But that's just me.

Great game. Can't wait for the sequel to be finished.

This game has great characters, a great story and some of the best graphics I've seen in the genre. The mechanics are fun too, integrating the gameplay into the sex scenes is a rare treat. It really is a top notch game. Plenty more of this sort of thing in the future please!

It's so hard to find a good game with all the slop you have to get through, this game is amazing. One of the best AVNs I've played, the scenes are hot, the dialogue is not cringey but the grammar could be better it wasn't a deal breaker for me.

The protagonist is actually conventionally attractive and the choices we have to make feel good.

Just wow. Over the last two years, I've seen some remarkable AVN's by now. This one is definitively taking a place in my personal top 3. I need to have a good storyline and this is given in this novel. In the meantime I really skip novels, when they do not have the quality in the drawing of the characters or the animation. Both is really excellent here. I only know one or two creators, who might have even been doing a better job. Really looking forward to the next version, house of hearts and will support this developer/creator from now onwards.

Honestly amazing from start to finish, It deserves 5 stars but I'm giving it 4 simply due to the fact of how abrupt the ending is. It's a serious 10/10 and one of the best VN's I ever played (5+ years of playing, at least 60+ played). Everything ranging from the choices, to characters and their development, to even the small things. Overall the best thing is the character optimization, having the choice of how you want to build your character is amazing, especially for a VN. But the game's abrupt ending makes it feel like a waste as you're only able to upgrade a few times in total.

In conclusion, this game is a 10/10 but I believe that instead of rushing an ending, the developer(s) should have kept updating this game, so we could continue with our choices, upgrades, etc. Sequels tend to be worse, greatly due to the high expectations left by the first.

Looking forward to the sequel, and greatly hoping for it not to be a let down, this game was 10/10!

This game is absolutely phenomenal. Now I'm a sucker for a good corruption game, so this is already right up my alley. The way each scene is done though? bloody master class. The variety of choices both in and out of scenes is wonderful, and the way each scene is written? Played out? Gold standard.

This is without a doubt one of the best games on the site for the h scenes alone. I'm having a good time with the story as well, but frankly even if this was nothing but sex scenes it'd be worth a download.

Amazing game. Very good story, incredible animations and renders.

The cherry on top for me would've been if you had the option to select outfits for the girls for the scenes.

I'm definitely playing the sequel.
