Ren'Py - Abandoned - God & Void [v0.1.6.B1] [Elrath Creations]

The art is the only part that is good but found most of it to be boring and combat is just not my style. Story was kind of all over the place but has potential. Sorry to say won't be keeping up on this games progress though.

The game is insufferable.
The combat is absolutely horrible, and the minigames are more than terrible.

The graphics are subpar despite what the preview lead to believe.
The navigation is horrible, and more than anything, absolutely pointless to both the game and story.

The writing is worthy of a 9 years old. Whoever finds this funny, or good, probably should not be allowed outside without supervision.

Game is trippy but still enjoyed it, laughed a lots. It's take a while to get to the good stuff so if you're looking for something to release the army then this isn't it. Other than that I highly recommend you to give it a try.

This game made me laugh out loud several times, and I'm less than an hour into it. I'm giving it 5 stars and I haven't even gotten to an H-scene yet. This game is retarded, but it's my kind of retarded. I am enjoying it so much I actually went and looked at the author's patreon page. The music choices are excellent as well.

The story is slightly disjointed in some areas and some sections could use polishing and/or more flow. There are a few typos and minor errors here and there. Overall, the pros significantly outweigh the cons.

This game is gr8 m8, I r8 8/8.

Version reviewed: 0.1.4.B3

Playtime: ~9-12 hours.

Story:
+ A lot of mystery and intrigue to keep you wondering what will happen next.
+/- Silly internet humor. I've personally kind of missed it since it has largely died out over the years. That said, the humor doesn't encompass the entire game more like acting as the seasoning of a dish.
+/- The mystery applies to the MC as well as the player. You have no way of telling which characters are telling the truth, misguiding you, or are simply misguided theirselves. This kind of makes me wary as I've found that the unveiling of mysteries is often much less satisfying than you expect when you're trying to unravel them on your own.
I enjoyed the story, but I think it has a rocky start. It is very goofy humor focused in the introduction and I think that might drive some players off.

Characters:
+ Characterization is very strong.
+ Characters intended to be goofy are, in fact, goofy while not blending together.
+ Non-goofy characters have a surprising presence of personality for the amount of screen time they get.

Smut:
Minimal as the game is in its early stages.
- Oh god, there's Japanese AV moaning audio clips.

Overall I enjoyed it, can't say I regret making it the first game I played this year. Definitely deserves more attention than it currently receives.

Do you like memes and funny jokes like JoeMama or PapaShlong as names? If yes, try this game other wise stay far away. I think this forcefully 'haha I'm so funny lol!1!!'-games are just the worst and this seems like a prime example.

My autism expanded more then my dick, which I 100% approve of. I don't understand anything about this world and I fucking love it. There's not much porn right now, 3 scenes in my playthrough; but the worldbuilding, existential dread, and unfiltered autism make it well worth the time investment.

I have some critiques... but it mostly just comes down to polish and the rough edges have a charm of their own, so not worth fixing when the creator could take some more LSD and expand my dong with new scenes.

10/10 will work the rice fields again

This game is nonsense in the best of ways. It uses some common tropes in a very fun manner and subverts them when it can.

That said, it is meme-ey as fuck. The writing is solid but not overburdensom. It will be dark at points, and bright at others. Character designs are solid overall for the style. Some of the minigames are annoying but able to be managed without a horrific amount of difficulty.

Give her a go, she may surprise you.

God & Void, Version 0.15 (BETA)

Aesthetics:
It's Koikatsu and there isn't much that can be done regarding overall style in it, this however doesn't mean the characters are objectively ugly (ugly in this case meaning too deviant from reasonable proportions and or having disfunctional textures). While I can't argue that this game presents outstanding graphics or unforgettable character designs, there is a noticeable effort in making them pleasant to the eyes and they're relatively unique. (4/5)
The environment is certainly above average (though that's not a tall bar, let's be honest here). Some moments the change in visual tone can be jarring if you weren't expecting it, not that it is easy to actually be jarred like that, the game does a good job at keeping you somewhat on your toes and this is a good transition. (3/5)

The Writing:
The leading of the story is solid, the game makes sure you understand this isn't about a power fantasy and the humor doesn't come in moments of actual tension, which is something many great names fail to address. I will refrain from mentioning specifics but I'm sure everyone knows at least one example of jokes being made at the wrong time and thus killing the moment. (4/5)
Humor, now this one is a large hit-or-miss, if you expect a no-nonsense game this surely isn't for you (it may be to your liking but that would kill the no-nonsense narrative, of course). If you enjoy a good amount of easter eggs, I can see you enjoying this game as well. (You may not enjoy it too, I'm a reviewer, not a cop.) (4/5)

The Music:
Some creative choices happened on this front, don't expect the very generic list of royalty-free musics most games use. The mood setting is also quite good and reliable, with this I mean that the game will most of the time nail on the head the combination between music and scene tone. (4/5)

The Combat:
Yes, there is combat here, it isn't Dark Souls by any means but it also isn't Pokémon Sword/Shield, this means that the combat is indeed challenging but not unfair. Don't worry about being crap at it, you can lower the difficulty if you can't win on regular. (4/5)

The Porn:
The game has porn but it isn't the focus as of now, you're as good as a foreigner in an entire world and the game is treating you as such, you gotta know how things work before you can safely and reliably fuck them. There isn't much in this front as of now but it is there, the dev also demonstrated a willingness to change and improve things on behalf of feedback. (3/5)
