Girls are cute and animation is really good although I would like a little bit more but stuff. Also for something that's on 3.5v it has a lot of content, although the map fast travel could use some more locations! Keep up the good work!

I will be honest this game I fall in love. It has everything and the comedy Isekai's style kills me from laughter I have not been able And interesting stories became my second favorite game I have to play more to know what will happen. I hope a lot about this game and with how little I have played I can tell you that it is incredible how beautiful the new world is your characters are very interesting each one has their own way of being is from that world where you want to be and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and know more and more and see what happens in its history and it is like starting an anime and wanting to see how far their characters will come that will become words to describe this game just an incredible. -

Written by an uber sage weaboo and it shows. The game has it's good parts (THE PORN) but the cliche story, characters and dialogue are so unbelievably cringe it makes them hard to reach.
This is the type of stuff going on with a girl he's known for ~3 days:
"Without being able to utter a single word, I try to explain to her that everything will be alright." "Ryoko, letting out a sob, just clung to my hand."
Talk about dramatic. Second hand embarassment is through the roof in this. -

The visuals and animation are very well done, not a lot of animators put as much attention to detail to entire body movement and angles. This is especially nice during H-scenes were you can see the characters' pussies pussies spread out and in during the animation. Only detail I'd like is if there were scenes of the characters cumming instead of a still image at the end but it isn't a huge gripe.
Story-wise there isn't anything super interesting that sets it apart from other isekai/game mechanic story but it is still pretty early on considering only a fraction of what I assume will be a big map is accessible so far. The characters are cute and each have pretty distinct personalities from one another discounting the unnamed NPCs who are all just horny for the MC. (But being an H game, why not?)
Overall I am looking forward to following to seeing how it goes from here story-wise and hoping for continued consistent updates. -

I'm not very far into the story yet, but I'll update as I go. So far I've unlocked like 8 girls, and have spent most of the time going for their events instead of zooming through the main quest.
Story goes you're a regular guy who's crazy good at kendo and get isekai'd by goddesses, since they find you interesting. From there, you're pretty much going with the on-rails isekai tropes of being unexpectedly strong and everyone is down bad for you. The story tries to like, make you interested in like multiple flashback sequences to his SUPPOSEDLY dead mom. But if you've ever read any manga or watched any anime ever, you'll probably see the twist from a mile away. The game is better when it's just being a slice of life rom-com, and it succeeds at that for the most part. You should NOT go into this expecting a serious or deep story. That's clearly not what they're going for.
The MC is just alright. Some people think he's cringe, some people think he's silly, some people think he's chill. I think he's a an alright balance of the three. The setting is less isekai and more like MC got transported to some rural japanese village imo, everything from the music to the scenery so far seems to reinforce the fact at least. So imo, it makes sense he's a little cringe.
The girls are pretty distinct from one another. You got typical town knight, milf doctor and her clumsy assistant, slave who loves you, and etc. They all have really nice designs and their personalities overlap sometimes, but for the most part - everyone is pretty unique in their own way. My favorites so far are Hana, Ryoko, and Charlotte, all characters that feel a little more deeply involved with the MC. Mayu is the super hyper and silly blacksmith - I thought she was really cute for a side character, since she plays on the more comedic aspect of the game.
H-scenes are pretty hot and the models are really detailed for KK game. On par with other HQ works using them. I think the grind associated is pretty meh. Like, there have been worse grinds - people act like there isn't a big skip button and will complain, but it's really not that bad. And the amount of pretty unique content so far, considering I haven't even touched the main quest that much is pretty amazing, since lots of Devs will take almost half a year to consistently pump out scenes. Just a tad disappointed there's not really any sound effects/voices during them, but if you play alot of renpy games, that's not a huge surprise anyways and you're mostly there for eyecandy.
I do think my main gripe with the game is the dialogue. You don't need to be an english major to understand that the translation is pretty mid. It's very stilted at times and doesn't flow naturally from sentence to sentence. What I've chosen to do, to alleviate this clunkiness, is make it my head-canon that since the MC is in some kind of rural Japan setting, everyone speaks in a weird way, resulting in the weird dialogue. But really, it's not too bad - you can understand what the characters are saying. Most of the time I take out the somewhat garbled mess on screen and reword it in my head so that it flows better anyways with these sorts of games.
Solid 3.5/5 so far, if the quality of more LIs' and their scenes keep up as I go on, it'd be like a 4/5 for me, once it hit the current update. If you're going into games like these, it's better to keep expectations somewhat low and just enjoy the lax ride. Surprisingly, it's better than most renpy-KK games on the site, with more polish put into it. -

The art is surprisingly well done - characters aren't flat, scenes look good. I just can't stand the writing. Not only is it just so incredibly cliche, it's riddled with translation errors between the author's original language and English (I can only assume). I didn't really get too far into it because I was so bored, but the assets looked good enough to at least give it average.
If you can stand sub-par writing and story for above average models, then you'll probably like this. -

Favorite KK game on the site hands down. the animations are so well done, you can really tell the dev puts a lot of effort into the details.
Story isn't bad and it seems to be getting better as updates continue. Highly recommend. -

I'm not really good reviewer, so let's make it simple :
Character : 4/5 (very expressive, especially the main girls)
Story : 3.5/5 (it's good and has nice comedy in it)
Scene : 5/5 (no comment. Just play it and you would like it)
Overall : 4.5/5 (this is one of the best koikatsu based game you probably ever play.. imo, it's golden experience) -
Joey's Conscience
Story:
You take the role of a modern-day teenager, who tries to save a girl and ends up dying in the process. In the afterlife he meets a goddess who gives him the opportunity to be reborn on a medieval world.
Yes, the premise is a carbon copy of a isekai anime, but the game plays is out like a homage, rather than plagiarism. It makes clear references, and the dialogue is written as anime as possible, complete with expressions like “fufu”, “oi”, “ara ara” and so on. Theres no shortage of headpats, pouting, blushing and cat/dragon girls. If you dislike this style of cutesy anime characters, this won’t be a game for you. If you are used to that, however, you will find a story that despite the generic premise, still manages to carve its identity as it unfolds, and has no shortage of likable characters (even if they are fairly one-note). The script is lighthearted and pretty funny at times.
Design:
I won’t beat around the bush, this is a sandbox game through and through, where you must build relationship points, acquire money, resources and so on. Once again, if you are one of those people who goes into every thread complaining about sandbox, even when its clearly labled (you know who you are), then don’t bother.
With that out of the way, some grinding is required, but it’s not too excessive. The early girls need you to interact a handful of times before you can see new events, but that seems to have been dialed back substantially for the later girls, which is a plus for me. There are minigames for fishing and wood cutting. The map is user friendly enough, and you can teleport to a girl’s location from the menu if you’re on the correct time period, which is a nice feature. The tips are always clear about what you need to do.
Visuals:
Visually, this game is fantastic in several ways. The renders are great, the UI is pleasant, and the animations are some of the best out there (as you can tell from the previews). The one caveat I have with the presentation is the perspective of the sex scenes. Most scenes are shown though first person or a closed-in camera. One advice I’d give the dev is to also present the scenes from a pulled back camera for those who prefer to see the whole picture.
Conclusion:
Goddesses Whim is one of those games that isn’t for everyone, given its overly anime and sandbox nature, but it’s hard to deny the quality and effort. The story so far won’t be winning any awards, but it does get more interesting as you play, and I’m curious to see what comes next. -

This is my Review of v 0.3.2. Public (Goddesses' Whim)
Made by the developer (NCrow)
There is a possibility that this Review will change when a new update comes later on since this game isn't finished yet.
Spoilers alert BTW!
The Story-line: 4.3/5
The thing about this storyline I liked is that it's straightforward to understand the main character's goal. From one boring life to a second chance with a new life after giving up his life for another without hesitating. (But there is more to the story than what we think)
Now the story is pretty easy to follow since there is a main log of events you can do for each girl you meet in the game and a main storyline. Let's just take the part I (Didn't like first) like most games, you are forced to do everything with everyone or you can't continue the main storyline. So if there are any types of girls you don't like, but want to continue the main storyline you're forced to do it...
(My very own opinion) For me, if there is one girl I like (Ryoko), I like having the choice of whether I want to go after others or not. I don't mind been around any of these beautiful Girls/Women, but I would have liked it more if I had a choice to take the relationship a step further or not. That's the only main thing I didn't like, so far.
The best part of the story is that everything makes sense, is not hard to understand what every character feels. Easy to see it right away in the text, the facial expressions, the music, and the humor in this game have made me break into laughter several times. Well done!
Every character in this game has their own personality and story to tell which ends up in several hours of gameplay of content. Some parts have made me laugh, feel excited, cry, and even scared my pants off... (Damn you Shika!)
Animations and Art: 3.7/5
The game is Anime-3D, I do love Anime-2D more when it comes to the art style, but the creator/creators have done an amazing job on the characters here so far. So I didn't mind it at all.
For most people (Even myself) if there are some types of girls you don't find attractive, they are still lovely in their own ways. The more time you spend with the characters, there could be a higher possibility of finding other types of things you find attractive, so it's pretty much recommended to spend time with everyone.
There are almost nothing of animations in the game when you walk around. The only part that moved was Shika when she was standing outside of the Doctor's house sweeping (Animation video that repeats itself every 2 seconds) Tomoe in the shop and Mayu in her shop It's not bad or anything like that, the only bad part is just those three animations. BESIDES from the Ara~Ara parts... That's where the game shines when it comes to animations.
The part that almost broke me was at the last event part for this version when you watch Ryoko and the main character training and she falls back on the grass. The grass didn't move at all, either Ryoko is light as a feather, or the grass was made of metal. Maybe some magic was involved here... idk
Lack of shade, flat texture, repeat texture, and some blurry color here and there.
But the characters are almost flawless and the world part looks average good for now.
Level of difficulty: 3.1/5
The game has mini-games like fishing, rock-paper-scissors, and chopping wood. And a few fighting scenes, I didn't know what would happen if you failed fighting scenes so I went back to the game to find out... Nothing will change the outcome of the story, just that you have to (Try Again) and take it from there.
There are no lewd difficulties, no Story challenges, and no decision challenges which makes the rewards worth less. So it's just go to the next event and see what happens. My hope if there will be (Multiple Endings) when the game is finished. It's not an expectation, just a hope. Can give the game more reasons why one should play it again later on.
The sounds & Music parts: 3.7/5
The game has both sounds and music. But it still lacks sounds here and there (Even for the lewd part. That part came as a shock, to be honest) Some parts of the game really hit the right spot when a sound was needed for the humor, and others like hitting and magic were good.
There were enough sounds to enjoy the story, but it would have been great with more. There were also some sound effects I didn't expect. That laughter coming from the frog at the Mayu event was terrifying. You have to hear it to believe it...
Overall: 3.7/5 - F95Zone Star 4 "Good"
The game is not a final version, and it has a great start. With many types of events. I didn't detect errors or bugs as I discovered. The girls in this game are amazing. Love their story, personality, and their looks.
If I had to pick the top 5 out of the list that I loved the most.
The list would have been 1: Ryoko, 2: Charlotte, 3: Natsuki, 4: Akane, 5: Shika
It took me hours to get through all the events and it has been an incredibly good story that I would really like to continue to see through for future updates. Oh god, I love the humor in this game! Keep up the great work!
