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

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.

its a renpy 3d vn game played extremely straight with a super basic story and character writing, but the renders are nice, the animations are nice, and the character designs are nice.
the character proportions in particular are in this middle ground between human being and hips the size of several trucks, which is interesting. definitely worth a try if you broadly like the genre

The animation and renders are exceptionally well-executed, showcasing a high level of cleanliness. I particularly appreciate the character designs, finding the girls to be stunning, and the main character (MC) is portrayed as quite attractive—I also enjoy his design. The writing is of good quality, with a compelling hook that has captured my interest. I eagerly anticipate discovering the direction the story takes in future updates. Cheers!

I really liked the start to this game. It has lots of potential. Firstly, the renders are fantastic. All the girls have different fashion and figures that keep you visually entertained. I especially love the Mom, the Asian, and the redhead.

Writing is good and most of the dialogue is charming. The only thing that was off was the setup for many of the characters that are introduced. Its just very random and very out of place. Like if one day you were walking around the city and kept meeting 10/10 girls over and over again and also got there numbers. Its very random lol.

I quite enjoyed the sex scenes. The main character is also quite hot and as a bi man its awesome. Definitely interested in seeing how this game updates.

Three stars (would be two stars, but +1 for render quality)


Summary: Generic and average. I probably won’t come back for Chapter 2


Writing of plot: Slow soap opera. Some good scenes, some unbelievable scenes, some utterly mundane.


Writing of dialog: Lots of stilted, unnatural speech (eg, lines like “Can I ask how did you meet her?”). It really needs a native speaker to edit it. Also, half the dialog was completely predictable and could have been skipped or implied. I ended up skipping in some scenes, which is a bad sign.


Writing of characters: The lust interests have distinct personalities, but fall into predicable tropes (the shy one, the nympho, the bad girl, etc). We can hope for character development, but I’m not holding my breath. MC is bland: inoffensive but uninteresting.


Grammar/Typos: Grammar is all correct, but language is awkward


Still images: Render quality is high. Characters all have distinctive faces and looks. Sadly the women all have similar bodies (the only variety being that some boobs are big and others are bigger). The MC is pretty hunky and well-modeled. Backgrounds are often stock, but well used. Good variety of framing and focus.


Animation: Some animation, but not as much, or as good, as you would expect given the still image quality.


Sound/Music: No music, some sound effects

This is a game with potential. Even though the setup is quite bland. MC is going back to the city he used to live in when he was a young boy. Parents are both gone and he moves in with his Mom's friend, who has a daughter that he used to play videogames with when they were children. He meets a few different people on his first day out (A lot of beautiful women!) the problem is even though the women are gorgeous there's no real distinct characters or story. The Brother & Sister duo is a fun scene. Other than that it's a bit average for the dialogue between MC & the people he meets. It's not bad it's just ok. The good thing about it is, you don't need much to expand the characters personalities. Stella should be the ultimate bitch, even if MC somehow hooks up with her. Keep her bitchy even then. Sayuri could be the cute sweet girl but with a quick temper, which can bring in more comedy when it happens at innapropriate times. Erika is obviously the slut but maybe give her an ulterior motive in the future for why she's being that way? MC is bland & that's fine but only if the other characters around him can be distinctive and memorable. Satori looks to be the comedy relief and new best friend. Which is done very well! Shame the other characters weren't treated with as much care.

Game does need some sort of narrative to have a purpose. Have MC need to achieve or fix something, maybe have the friends join him in some sort of mystery. If you don't have a purpose in the game or have an end goal the game won't be as popular. It's still worth a play and has enough so far to keep your interest. But you can see it could be great if Dev can work on the story & dialogue. There is a couple of lewd scenes & it's only new (Chapter 1) so that's more than I expected. Renders are fantastic with great backgrounds and detail. The ratio of images to dialogue is really good. Models are great. Want to give this 4 stars but will only do 3 right now. As I can see its still very early in development & can be better with the right changes

Very clean and well done animation and renders, really enjoy the character designs, the girls are all gorgeous! The MC is a hunk, really enjoy his design too.
Writing is good, It has a nice hook. I'm very excited to see where this goes in future updates. Cheers!

First, the art is absolutely gorgeous. Not the same old character models, several spectacular beauties to choose from. I can't wait for more chapters. The story is interesting enough but the english script needs to be re-worked and the animations are (hopefully) just placeholders for something better down the road. All in all, Chapter 1 is a big thumbs up.

Very good story. Interesting and compelling. You can get into the characters pretty good. English is not the strong point of the Dev. But to be honest even then it's not terribly noticeable or game breaking. All in all well worth my time spent playing it. Not much sex scenes but then it is very early still. What is there does not come across as just jump right into it either. There are certain characters that you can have some light fun encounters with. Don't want to ruin the surprises for anyone else.

I look forward to future updates for this one to see where the story is going to take me. I highly recommend this one is given a try.

Ignore the people giving this fours and fives. This game is the definition of average. Be prepared for long stretches of generic soap-opera level dialogue, without any of the drama that somewhat justifies those shows existence. Our protagonist, Generic Young Man, had a mother who caught Generic Terminal Illness and died. Generic Young Man goes to live with his... aunt? A family friend? The relationship seems unclear. Or maybe I nodded off during that part of the dialogue. What matters is that she has big tits and feels guilty for not visiting Generic Dying Mother in the hospital.

Generic Young Man talks about how sad he feels. He takes a book to the library. He buys unspecified gifts from a clothing store to give to aunt/family friend. He meets a few young women and behaves towards them in a manner that could be best described as "present". Generic Young Man has almost no personality beyond being kinda sad that his mother died. I don't know what he wants or what he is trying to achieve. He doesn't seem to have a goal or be working towards anything, which makes it impossible to get behind his actions. He's just kinda... there. Getting hit on by girls because he's blandly handsome, I guess. Maybe this city experiences an unusually high rate of small cooking fires so all its women are naturally attracted to wet blankets.

Don't get me wrong - this game isn't badly written. It just isn't well written either. The story being told is dull and there isn't enough character or drama to justify paying attention to it. I stuck with it for longer than most will, I imagine, before skipping through to the spank content, which takes far too long to arrive. And much like the story, it's just kinda there. Not terrible, and the models are good, but there's nothing particularly sexy or erotic or creative about it either.

I do want to mention the positives though because I can see where the dev has put in effort. A few scenes where MC and another character are having a conversation in the city, the dev has actually rendered the images so that the characters appear to be walking down the street with cars and pedestrians in the background also going their own way. It would have been easier to just have them standing still or use the same static backdrop but instead the dev put in the effort and it makes the city feel more real. But that effort unfortunately is in service of a bland MC and uninteresting writing.

I'll make a suggestion to this dev and to anyone else thinking about making a game. You need to establish a clear goal for your MC and you need to do it soon into your story. Otherwise your audience has nothing to root for and they will get bored and switch off. It's hard to get behind a character who just goes around doing mundane stuff with no overarching purpose. We need to know what that character wants and their plan for how they hope to get it. Then over the course of the story we see them try, fail, and try again. They discard their initial plan and create a new one, encounter obstacles, undergo setbacks, but ultimately either achieve their goal or realise what they really wanted was something else all along. This is story writing 101 for getting an audience invested in your main character.* If the audience knows what the MC wants to achieve we can get behind their struggle. But if you don't establish that early on then your audience will stop caring very quickly.

(*because I know someone will cry but not all stories are like that - yeah, you're right. Really really talented writers can defy conventional storytelling. But those people are all writing literary-fiction, not spank games. And though their novels get all the awards, they don't sell a fraction of what competently written genre-fiction does. If you can tell a basic story well then you'll be immediately ahead of 99% of games on this site)

Pretty solid so far. It seems like this can be added to the huge pile of standard pure harem games. MC will probably just sleep with every woman that shows up lol so don't expect anything genre defining or amazing. However, if you like that then you will definitely like this. Render quality is great. Story is decent. Overall solid and would recommend.

Impressive for sure,
Pros:

1. Very nice models and decent animations, though not too many one animations that are "long"
2. Story seems interesting enough, nothing earth shattering though.
3. Not just some simple quick fix lewd material, there is significant enough story and character development in this.
4. Written, structured and thought out well regarding the dialogue and characters. They are not simple minded, there is complexity to characters, at least the MC (who we have the most info on)

Cons:

1. Not a hell of a lot going on, this can lead to frustration for some people, myself included. I know why the dev is stretching the story though.
2. Updates are taking a while and the amount of content is not that much either. Good quality sure, but too long to justify imo.

Still has some work in some areas but the dev is up front about that, this is definitely one to look out for

Why this is 5 star-
Great renders
Easy to read and catchy story which doesn't seem stressed
Not a typical porn game which lack logic(ok it doesn't have some logic, cause some girls are throwing themselves at you)
Proper Introduction(Introduced every character with their back story, started off with a theme, and ended on a cliffhanger related to the same theme)
Great, well planned and well executed game

Well it's just the first update but I find it very promising

Content, Milf and LI look very beautiful =))

The content is short but seems quite interesting, I will wait for more reviews and content from NV
