VN - Ren'Py - Getting Intimate [Ch.2 Part A] [MangoWorks]

Well. You had many work to rebuilt. However, I stand still. Nice story. A little "blindness" for the MC... Of course, Daphne is gorgeous and remembered about all. She's just standing there and wanting to be certain for his feelings... Also, Melinda and Cassandra, are top "notch". Waiting for the development of that sensitive love story.

This game is still new but we can get a glimpse of how the story will unfold and imo it's really nice. The visuals are nice, the characters are likable and realistic. They used a very common model to play the MC which is a bit disappointing. It is the same guy as in many other avns.

The Pros:

Melinda and Valerie are great love interests. I like them older so... Melinda has the edge for my heart. The renders and vibrant colors are beautiful.

I really enjoyed being a MC from humble beginnings. He's not spoiled, entitled and most importantly he's not a idiotic loser. He knows when to stand up for himself and for people around him. He also has a moral compass. Seeing him work his self to the bone to take care of his dying mother garnered my respect.

The other ladies we meet aren't bad, you're not shoehorned into relationships with them. I even like that the content with the overly cliche bro character can be skipped as well.

The Cons:

Make sure that the choices aren't just for show. Not saying that it's a big deal but it happens in VNs.


I'm glad I found this bad boy. There's a lot more positives than negatives so let's keep this one from getting abandoned.

Wow! This game is really very beautiful and high quality!
I would call it something like a life story, where in reality some people have a past. truly a rare gem.

Renders are really inspiring, Mc also looks like a completely grown up guy who is looking for his path and wants to get his past back. and also around the story there are a lot of beautiful girls and hot women's!

Story: slowly developing. But, very smoothly and with a little intrigue!

Plot: calm and at the same time there are a lot of secrets on the part of some girls.

Animations: new game, and the animations look like quality, truly amazing work!

Girls: There are many different girls, such as milfs, such as hot girls, as well as rich women and their development

The interactions and conversations are completely removed from reality. This feels as though it is AI written. The "setup" for sexual encounters are all absurd. On top of that a lot of the language used makes zero sense. For instance "I have to clean the bathroom or the fish will have my bones for dinner". WHAT? The story is quite basic and largely propelled by the characters acting in an idiotic fashion. The only reason I am giving this 2 stars is the renders are quite good, but that is basically all this has going for it.

I'd say this is average if you want to see naked women and easy sex, and more on the bad side if you want a good story with likeable and interesting characters. This VN is full of cliches and all the sex scenes so far are very unreal; feel so fake and porn-like. Most girls are nymphomaniacs who want to fuck MC just because he is good looking. I understand the dev might not want to offer a realistic experience but damn, when all you gotta do to have sex is exist, it feels pretty pointless and 0 satisfying. Also, I feel like somehow, most girls look the same. As if the same original model was used for most of them, just with some alterations. The MC is also pretty boring and plain, like an emo all the time. I get that he has had a difficult life and all but damn, you can be sad and miserable and still charismatic and interesting (e.g MC from Artemis). I find most interactions and convos super generic, almost robot-like and not interesting at all, but that might just be me.

There are many situations that are just so silly. The boyfriend of a girl looking for a fight after almost running over the MC with his car: "my girlfriend looked at you strangely yesterday. Who are you!?". Even if you ended things in 'good terms' with her at the boutique. Or he almost having an attack at the art exhibition and instead of checking the details of the painting and the author or looking for the artist in the exhibition, he goes to the super sexy teacher who of course, agrees to help him in exchange for sex hahahah ahhhhhhhh!!! Seriously, it feels like the only sexual experience the devs of 99% of VNs have is porn.

Valerie is the best girl, just wanted to get that out of my system.

Story:

A more realistic kind of story to follow. Plenty of weigh on the MC's shoulders, he lost his mother, worked countless jobs to try and care for her while missing out on others things people tend to take for granted. He reunites with his childhood friends and her mom all while trying to find his first love, Lilly.

I enjoyed this a lot. Likable characters all around and the perfect balance of steamy content. Again, Valerie stole my heart, then there's bombshells like Melinda and Cassandra.(Normally don't care for cheating scenarios but what hell) The dialogue was sour a few times but overall I can't complain. The characters aren't annoying and most of them seem well written as of Chapter 2. This is a one of those stories that seem to get it right and makes you want to follow along.

Renders:

Great.

Animations:
Well done. The Assjob by Cassandra was so hot.

Dialogue:
Good.

Characters:

I mean... there's a lot of ass...
Not a bad thing at all.

Overall:

This Devs deserves way more support than this. Empty out your pockets like you've most likely emptied your balls while playing this.

What the hell? This game is a banger! The description for this game sounded pretty generic ngl, but the good dialogue, renders, and unique characters definitely kept me hooked and the few lewd scenes and animations that are there are wonderful. I do wish though there's more sound effects and music added though. Overall, this is probably a contender for best new game of the year for me unless I missed something.

So far, a ~2 hour experience as of Ch.2 Part A with hopefully future updates taking a reasonable amount of time. Keep up the good work Mango!

Probably more in the 4 star range so far, but its well polished.

The first chapter introduces all but one of the main LI, for the most part the characters are well written and have distinct voices. The Beth and Erica characters are practically identical outside of model differences though. Could use more dialogue in general.

I hope the developer does not add more characters.. there are already 7 or 8 LI introduced in the first chapter which is a tall order to build paths for.

wow.... fantastic writing/every character is wonderful. Left wanting more and more, actually read each line instead of scanning through like most VN's. Renders are high quality...only one chapter in...if I had to choose one dev to support and want to see through the end, it'd be these guys.

This is a good game, the only real gripe I have with the game is the variance in how dialogue is delivered, and I think it's because the first language of the dev is not English, if that is not the case I am sorry. The message and meaning of the words are delivered, but the way they say it is, roundabout would be the best way to describe it. They don't talk like how people would actually talk to each other.

Obviously English is a weird weird language and very difficult to learn, so the dev is doing a great job of delivering a good story, good characters, and great models, I just think if the dialogue can be touched up it can be a true five-star game.

I'm giving this 4 stars, but with a lot of caveats. I think this only deserves 3-stars as it is, but since it's still too early, I think we can cut the dev some lack. That said, here's my review:

Great renders and nothing too offensive to put you off, but it doesn't have a lot going for it. There is a plot, which I honestly think could be great, but it has barely advanced, it mostly focuses on slice of life things, which is completely fine, but there has to be some hook and the characters aren't it.

First, the MC has a strong backstory and it kind of shows, so props for that, but for some strange reason, he seems to stutter at every corner and sometimes he's just straight up confident. I'd suggest just sticking with the confident MC since it fits his backstory of being a reliable dude that's been there for those who need him.

We haven't seen much of the LIs, so it's too early to judge but they're too bland so far, except for Beth, however, the whole scenario with Beth was just straight up incomprehensible. It just doesn't make sense and I honestly didn't want to continue putting up with that scenario so I simply rejected her at first. I went back and played her scene before I made this review and unfortunately, it didn't get better.

It's fine to not reveal everything at the start, but you gotta give the player some reason to say "yes, I wanna see what's up with this girl" other than literally just for the sake of watching the scene.

The scene with Beth could've been a lot more interesting if we had more choices, like, I would've liked the chance to just straight up leave and force Beth to stop being such a weirdo. The dialogue could've been longer, too, we could've been given the option to ask her questions as well and not have it feel like Beth is interrogating us.


That said, the whole cast has potential to interact in meaningful ways and spice things up, in my opinion and the main plot is interesting. I think what would help this the most is more conflict and more choices. I always appreciate the ability to decide what the hell the MC will do or how he will react.

Overall a solid VN. Pulls off the everyday lifestyle setting well with a good plot.

Pros:
1) Great renders. The girls aren't DAZ copy paste characters, which is beyond refreshing.
2) Great writing. The plot has a believable story and is interesting at the same time.
3) Most of the girls have personalities and depth to them.
4) MC isn't a fresh 18yo creep.

Cons:
1) Some of the girl's storylines are too predictable. But let's see how the plot develops.

I'm usually very critical in my approach to the games and kinetic novels that appear here.
It's really nice to find an exception to the rule.
But I'll make a disclaimer right away - I have difficulty with definitions. It's not really a game and it's not really a kinetic novel.
The plot (with all the disclaimers in relation to porn) is a 10 out of 10.
Graphics - 10 out of 10.
Character development - 8 out of 10.
And it should be said at once - fans of porn and only porn will be disappointed.
But a normal mature person will find this story interesting. After all, both erotica and porn - these are variants of urban fantasy, in the world of which is so nice to dive into at the end of a hard day's work, to distract from problems and worries. Nota Bene: I don't mean to say that the world of the game has a place for the supernatural, no, it's our everyday world.
And in conclusion I would like to wish the developers success in their work on this project. Good luck in all your creative endeavors!

Too early to judge this game but from what I've seen so far looks promising.
So far the story is interesting enough that I cant wait for the next updates cause i'm sucker for reunions especially when they are childhood friends. I just hope dont have to wait to long for it.

Most games I don't care about the sex sounds during lewd scenes, but the sounds in this game does make it better and more immersive. Will have to see if I still feel about this when it's not just a HJ, BJ , tit fuck.

For 1 chapter there is a good amount of content and playtime. It took me alot longer than I thought to finish it.

Also there is a nice arrange of girls with different kinds of personalities. Even the ones I kind of hate I like at the same time because the way they are portrayed makes me think there is more to them that what meets the eye.

All in all a very good start and I look forward to more updates.

There is no doubt that my first impression of this game was a pleasant surprise, both the models, the story, the dialog, the rendering, it feels very good, it's a good start, however, I've met too many very good games before that ended up being abandoned, so being able to stick with the updates is the most important thing!

I hope this game will be a success, I really hate it when I fall in love with a game and am determined to sponsor and support it, only to have the game abandoned, it's a really bad feeling!

Got the potential to be a top game. Great visuals and nice story even though you kinda seen this kind of story in other games. Game started as normal a little bit dull it got interesting later. Game's pace changed with the introduction of Satoshi and his sister Sayuri that encounter was funny. Models are well polished loved the renders it's top notch. Sayuri is the best girl so far followed by Valerie. Waiting for Lilliana's entry. If you like playing nice story game with good visuals try this one.

Keep up the good work dev looking forward to next updates.

I liked the game very well, great rendering, good animations, good environment, good story, fun girls, the game's 3D is great, looking forward to the next updates

Good luck to the developer with his project

Finally new gem appeared on F95 which is worth your time. Great MC both with looks and characters. Rare too see both this qualities in games lately.. Even with just chapter one lots going on. Pacing and Storytelling is well done. Everything feels just right. Hope it will have more then just MC lazing around, some personal goal except finding his childhood friend. LIs are interesting to say a least. Each with their personalities and story, cannot say much more because there is not enough content yet... One minor downside of game would be not having many OSTs.

Wish dev good luck

Review for Ch.1 Upd.1&2

Getting intimate is a very slice-of-life romance style game. Being a bit blunt, the overview makes this sound very generic. Truthfully it kind of is. It's a setup you've likely seen a hundred times before with other AVNs (I sure have), but when it works it works. The writing is usually what really makes or breaks games like this for me, and fortunately, it's working enough to where I can say I enjoyed it overall.

The game, as stated by the devs, really wants to capture that feeling of love and intimacy. I think that gives you a good idea of what this is and will try to do. While it has yet delve into that aspect given its slower pace (mostly, more on that later), the writing feels competent enough that I think it has the potential to do so. Though a little tropey, most of the characters at least have some aspect drawing me into them. The spoiled rich girl subverted my expectations a bit, Daphne feels refreshingly realistic in ways, and even the bro character (who's name escapes me) grew on me a lot despite not liking him at first.

The overall atmosphere feels pretty chill more than anything. Again, very slice-of-life with most of the events. An art gallery section, getting coffee, visiting the library, gaming sessions, you get the idea. The MC is thankfully a normal guy who isn't constantly perving out and dumb as rocks, so playing as him going through all these events has been fun. There hasn't been much drama or "spice" yet, and truth be told I have no idea how that might change. I do kind of feel like the MC lacks a proper goal or motivation, but that I would expect to come later.

There is one blemish in this whole thing though: Erika. She feels like a character who has been created purely for sex scenes. Both times I said yes to her scenes to see what would happen, and both times I went back and denied her. There's nothing really going on with her besides her wanting to sleep with you, a complete stranger more or less, at the drop of a hat. Especially considering this wants to be a slower romance building game, it just feels out of place. Jarringly so. My theory was that it was done to appease people wanting quick sex, and I think that was a very bad move if so. I could very well be proved wrong and her character may end up being more, but the game didn't do a good job of displaying that if so. Currently she's the only character I plan on ignoring if that doesn't change.

There are some rough edges as well. Ambient noises are desperately needed, it could use more music, the transitions could be better, some of the dialogue is a bit stiff, and I think some of the events could have played out more before moving away from them.

I don't think this is an AVN everyone will enjoy, and if you thought it was too mundane I would get it. But I think it will be a nice enough experience for people who like these kinds of romance games. There are certainly improvements that can be made, but this was a pleasant first chapter.
