Ren'Py - Gameverse Adventures [v1.8.1 SE] [Dragonimator]

V1.8.1

Overall, an unfinished porn game made on a VN engine that has more porn than game and more vore than every other featured fetish and sex. some detailed 3D renders and animations, simple characters, simple stories, simple world, though very eclectic. clearly not a plot-first visual novel with thematic depth here, but some à la carte, inconsequential dating and affection grinding; the romance and dialogues were 100% written by a sentient penis.

Some characters are cool in the idea, but they have like 3 lines, and mc feels more like an NPC than your average 5-star ranking low-standard glazer.
Still, the offered quality residing for the most part in the visuals and the way it's put together, for a vore game that includes a high amount of unbirth, is rare and highly appreciated.

negative points:
• many features like the hygiene mechanic or money or the pda etc. feels pointless: nothing to buy beside food which is a shit mechanic that only forces you to go on the same dialogues every day with no variations or surprises or you starve and die, beside for one character, hygiene has no interactions at all, pda only offers a completely useless menu in the end and so on..
• the black screen endings when you die feels very lazy and anticlimactic, for a vore game you'd expect a visual or an animation, or at least some short epilogue text, which brings me to the last point.
• Dialogues/stories/personalities are quite simple in writing and lacks depth and development, and those characters are... very eclectic, unrelated, disconnected, no main plot in sight. you got it all: anime, cartoonish, realistic, furies, gay/femboy, monster-girls... A universe-multiverse thing that makes 0 sense. though all of that non-sense's goal is to engage the great visuals which compensate in lewdness the shallowness. classic porn. wish there were more!

Very bare bones at the moment, but the animations are pretty great, and any and all vore content on here is much appreciated with how rare it is. The vore content here is definitely some of the best I've seen in a game so far.

The stuff that is there is very enjoyable, there just isnt a whole lot of it yet. I can definitely see this turning into something very impressive eventually. Looking forward to seeing more from this

Good:
I think for what it offers, the game does fetish content pretty well (extremely well if you're into vore and UB). Rogue has a number of first person animations that I think are done pretty well, but I'd like to see improvements in the future (specifically, less of a cut if you transition from the base movement into one that pushes her to climax.) Additionally, I'd like to see an Auto feature added where it will go through the motions on its own without the need for a manual transmission. Usually I do not like games that include random anime/game/show characters, but this one has strong fetish content that's done well enough to bypass all of that.

Issues:
Now let's talk about a few issues I've seen. Resting is a consistent cause of crashes. If you're eaten, UB, or in the anal track (Tested the most with Rogue), if you choose to rest it will often throw an exception. You have a chance to use the rollback feature, however, it rolls back to right when you started resting creating an infinite loop which crashed the game in the same manner (it's when you choose to Act after resting specifically). There were a few game over screens that did not render correctly. One of which being if you allow Rogue to "have some fun" she generally chains each of her vore scenes before giving you an unfortunate ending. Once this occurs, the screen goes black and no game over screen pops up. You can still right click to open the menu and load from a previous save, but I found this to be odd.

In a few instances, I even got to the "Mission Completed" screen, but clicking continue just left the screen black. In a few of Rogue's "endings", the aftermath summary that pops up during the game over screen isn't rendered correctly. Specifically, some text goes out of the bottom of the screen and it's impossible to read the remaining dialogue (to my knowledge, there is no scrolling). Additionally, although not an issue in my case, some people like to skip dialogue and/or not read/explore things/areas. The direct result of this is one of the other reviews where the player seems to be unable to find the security door code (which, in my opinion, shouldn't take longer than 1-2 minutes at the most). The PDA should keep notes when important information/details are found within the area. This would easily solve the issue of players forgetting/not realizing they found the door code. I'm unsure if you can re-find the code after finding it once.

Suggestions/Desires (if feasible and you decide to do it):
- PDA should take notes of important information found in the area. I.E if you find the security door code, it should appear on the right side of the screen (maybe) so you don't have to memorize it.
- There are options for some characters to massage them when inside them, but not for all. I'd like to see more options universally for each character.
- When UB'd I'd like there to me more of a "mess" so to speak when a character climaxes particularly while you're inside them (sticky?). I feel like the Hygiene meter doesn't really reflect this well currently. Additionally, characters when climaxing can't seem to climax you out either (would be nice to see as an option). The struggle option currently seems to be the only thing that reduces hygiene, health, and energy.
- Reading and Discovery aren't everyone's strong suit. While I did personally enjoy figuring out where people were and how to interact with them by exploring, other people may not like to do so. I know you created a guide, but I have an even easier solution. Just make a "Hint" button that gives in game information for how to find/interact with each character.


Summary/Final Say:
While I don't consider myself a furry, I did play this game and "It's a Gluttonous Life". Currently I think Gluttonous Life has better interactivity with the characters (for now), but this game has 10x better animations and, in my opinion, fetish appeal. I purchased the $5 version of the game after testing the producer version to show support and also the fact that I was really blown away by how solid the game was. If you can fix the bugs and add more interactivity with the characters (I.E having the option where manually licking someone when they're facesitting you 20-30 times makes them transition into the climax or similarly when struggling in their vagina/womb) I think this game can get a really solid following. I'm interested to see where it goes in the future and will be watching to determine how much more support I should give. Overall, nice job.

They got something cooking for sure. The characters aren't super special but they're unique enough between each other in terms of writing.

The animations are done well but the character models are spotty in quality. Rouge the bat is fairly detailed but Gwen Stacy is pretty low on the resolution. Also, that one guy with the frizzy hair is fairly unattractive to me. Death was more interesting but I'm kina bi when it comes to furries.

The other thing is some of the choices are vague. Some characters will Digest you while others will "Digest" you. The first one is the typical (If you have the others disabled) "soft vore." The charter still dies but nothing shown and it's not focused on. While other times you basically go down the digestive tract like a slip and slide (Which I find far more interesting/arousing).

The game is still in it's early stages and I hope they keep working on it. I threw them $5 because it was entertaining enough for me and I wanted to see the other characters. I think I got my $5 worth personally but I'm not gonna be supporting long term.

It's important to understand that, though its fetish toggles exist, this game still has a focus on shrinking and vore. As of right now, if those two things aren't your cup of tea, it's best to leave this one alone.

Starting with the negatives, the animations are a bit stiff, but won't break your immersion. That said, my biggest criticism actually has to do with these animations, specifically where they are placed. There are a number of activities in the game, such as the shower, where an unskippable animation plays and causes a menial repeatable activity to take much longer than it should. Additionally, as a smaller gripe, sometimes the translation can confuse objectives or things you are meant to do. In general, the game doesn't explain some of its mechanics very well. For example, when you are swallowed, some preds won't let you out if you ask. Sometimes you need to use the Talk menu, or even purposely run out of stamina for them to let you ogo. The Rouge puzzle is where this is at its worst; It contains a code you need to find in a randomized location to open a vault, but letting her eat you and keep you in her belly ends the mission prematurely.

As for the positives, this game does appeal to its fetishes well. The vore is done in fun and unique scenarios, and they allow you to play in the pred's belly to a limited degree. The game also includes vore subgenres like anal vore, unbirth, and cock vore. The POV animations are fun and decently-done, though I hope they implement a player body in a future release.

This game is awful
full of fetishes even if you turn them OFF

i spend eternity looking for access code for the doors
just so my character could not get the code at all automatically
so i started checking a lot of combinations

Guide don't list codes

Rogue the bat crashed my skull with her ass despite me having this all turned OFF!
i don't even know if you can progress in this game at all
i seem stuck at 1st floor with level 0 PTA cards
and academy have no lessons at all

this game is barely just a skeleton of the game and i do not recommend it
