VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Going Rogue [Ch.7 Deluxe] [Ker]

The entire package is nice.

The story actually pulled me in, and I enjoyed reading it. The renders are decent, animations are o.k.
The one thing missing is that the sex scenes are quite uninteresting. They are not bad, just passionless, I got a by-the-numbers feeling from them.

That being said, if you like the story of Sleeping Dogs, this game has enough to pull you in, and good potential.

So, I was looking specifically for a game that contains ntr. For me good ntr is first and foremost a process, it contains choices that result in believable outcomes. Secondly, good ntr happens as the result of a story that is not centered around the ntr outcome. It's basically fallout, the loss of trust, it's the punishment for being a dick, being too much of a nice guy or neglecting what is important in life. Third, it makes these choices attractive so that you don't have to force the outcome but feel that "it makes sense to take that risk right now". Going Rogue offers all that is necessary to pull ntr off, it got a believable and compelling story, interesting characters with which you can build intimate relationships, lots of tension and moral dilemma that is difficult to solve on your own. Everything that is required of both a great ntr experience but also an outstanding AVN in general.

Review for chapter 4
PROS -
Decent renders and some good looking female characters but most lack personality .
CONS -
Story is kind of parody? copy of a movie or tv series and it lacks originality and it feels boring to play .
Writing is meh and choices feels dull . Main character is not interesting to play .
Useless point and click gameplay .
2 stars - 1 for the renders and the girls apart from it the game story and writing needs some improvements but it is terrible at this a stage .

Version played : Ch.4

Game says choices matter - but there was no player agency in the "first real" choice and it was done so poorly.

Spoilers for the first ~10 minutes incoming.

You are given 2 POVs at the start ; MC and some random bad guy named James. The MC isn't present but James' vile plot of provoking our MC to punch him is showed to us, the player, and our MC doesn't know about it. Fast forward, James provokes our MC, and instead of actually being able to choose how to respond, is, essentially forced to punch him - and that's where I stopped playing.

I was promised impact but I got railroaded into a sequence of events. Being given that other POV makes it even worse.

It would've been much better if:

1) We didn't see the other POV
2) Weren't given false choices or the situation was presented better
3) Author actually wrote and planned for a way to progress the plot if I CHOSE differently (and there was no choice).

So I can't comment on the entirety of the current release, but based on what I played it's not good at all, the renders looked good tho, music was generic.

Overall a fantastic game in my opinion.

While its pacing may seem off at times (especially so at the beginning), the story, characters and visuals more than make up for its shortcomings. The characters seemingly have realistic and believable motivations behind their actions and the whole undercover story without a doubt does have a certain intrigue to it. Not to mention, the choices have a real impact on the story as well and aren't just there for namesake.

Paired up with the visuals which keep getting better over the duration of the VN, it definitely has the potential to be something really great and as a result, I'm looking forward to see what comes next for the VN.

I really love it.

All characters are kinda interesting with their own agenda and problems to be solved.
The female character models are well to my liking and the overall plot is interesting.
Not too many games out there where I don't use the skip-button on occasion

Don't let yourself be swayed by whiners regarding game content, I like where the game is going and when you stay true to your interests and add whatever you like yourself it will stay a great game for sure

Thank you!

Good stuff
1) Women are all beautiful. Easily some of the best on this site.
2) Characters all have distinct believable personalities.
3) Really enjoying most of the story so far.
4) Likable competent protag.
5) Meaningful choices.

Meh stuff
1) Story teases a few things that have the potential to annoy me.

Bad stuff
1) Protag doesn't look like a fresh graduate in his early 20's.

Solid 5/5.

Don't waste your time. The renders are average at best. The plot is moving at about 3 times the speed of light,and is an illogical mess. And mostof the LI's the MC has interacted with have genuinely unpleasant personalities.

This VN may be something someday,but right now it's just a mess.

The overall story is quite intriguing, however the pacing is quite bad.

This game needs a severe rework to the pacing.

The MC is presented as this calm and calculating guy, who does not get along well with people, yet within a span of a few days he meets a girl, falls in love(or not), punches a guy who insults her, gets thrown off the police force and goes undercover on the behalf of the woman who got him thrown out of the police force.
Then goes on to go undercover, befriends mobsters and makes nice with a lot of people.

Again all within the span of a few days.


Not to go into to many details and spoil everything, but the pacing really takes away from the immersion.

the game excludes my favorite incest tag, but I hope for anal tag at least

that feeling when the text is not bad. I really didn't want to read all these stories today for some reason, and they stole it from some movie (plot beginning), but the game absolutely deserves a recommendation.
the graphics are excellent, some screenshots are directly impressive. and not only graphics, but also music. the girls in the game are very beautiful, the sex themes are good.

From the mire of games with dead land lords and the umpteenth landlady LI, this game peeks out like a lotus. Even if it was absolute dogshit it'd still get 3 starts at the very least just for not creating another game with the same flogged out premise.

Now about the game. If you thought damn I wish I was Leo while watching departed, congrats. You're in luck. The main character in the game is, for the time being, is very similar to Leo. What the departed didn't have tho is a lot of babes. Which this game more than makes up for. There's optional ntr in the game but if you play it you'll find out that it wouldn't make sense if there wasn't any. And you'll want to protect the girl from it even at the cost of your own safety as you'll find out. To me, that adds a thrill to the game that nothing else does. It's like a Greek tragedy in the making. I love it.

All in all, I would highly recommend trying the game atleast once. If you don't like it, you can always put it down. But if you do, I think this game is a fine addition to the handful of games in the crime genre on this site. And I'm all for it.

This one solid game, both story wise and option wise. The choices have different outcome everytime, which so rare to find in games. Render quality and content size is decent considering it's still kinda new. Best wishes dev, keep up the great job with regular updates. Thank you again.

Terrible from the graphics to the ridiculousness of the characters, their actions and dialogues, the story is embarrassing to others, bad as a Sunday movie, nor to say about how bad it is to have multiple protagonists, the truth is terrible, I do not recommend it to my worst enemy.

High quality game unlike 95% of games in this site. Good renders, good story. Ladies look beautiful. I would give 4 stars but optional kinks in this game made me give that 5th star too. I am always for inclusivity when it comes to kinks especially if they are optional.

I like the visuals and most of the girls look really good but that's about it. Story is pretty basic even though unique for this kind of game. And apparently this got reworked from 2 protagonists to only 1 but it still feels like 2 so I don't really understand what that rework has done. Also as I said, I like how the girls look but I actually don't like any of the girls personalitywise, 2 are whores, 1 is a bitch and 1 is meh.

Just started this game with Chapter 3 and I think it's amazing so far and has great potential. The women are hot, especially Grace and that dress she wore . My only complaint is there are some sentences that don't really make sense in english but the game is still being developed so i'll let it slide. I look forward to more updates from this game and hopefully soon.

Chapters 1-3

It's a great game that's being downvoted by virgin idiots who can't stand that a virtual, fictional character can fuck someone else other than MC. Seriously, grow up and stop acting like kids. It shouldn't be surprising that a personal whore is whoring around or that other women might be interested in other men (especially when they're not in a relationship).

With that out of the way let me tell you why I've rated this game so high.

1) Renders are great and female models (well, male too but who cares about male models) are one of the best.

2) Sex scenes are great also and I really like that we have the option to either give in to our carnal instincts or try to develop something more with characters and that will bare even better fruits later on.

3) Plot is unique for an erotic game and makes it stand out among dozens of highschool/college/houses with landladies and roommates.

4) Dialogues are very competently written and characters are fleshed out well enough so after a while we can estimate what their reaction should be after certain response without resorting to reloading/going back. They behave logically/in-character which isn't that obvious for an erotic game.

5) Game has some meaningful choices, not virtual ones and there is no 1-option "choice" here which annoys me more than anything in erotic games (but is unfortunately common).

All in all I rate this game 9/10 so far with potential to go even higher.

CH 2 review -
Good things in this game are girl models are stunning and the story is good - a parody of tv series / movie which I loved watching . Game has nice animations and music . Chapter summary was nice . Had Some unnecessary point and click type of gameplay .
Is this a Male protagonist game or Multiple protagonist game ?
In the first chapter you are able to make choices for them both and in the next chapter you don't ? and able to see scenes from his perspective ?
It would have been better game if we are able to play as two of them given individual romantic options or one of them with romantic partners or an option to choose a character which we would like to play . In this game it is a mixture of both and totally kills the game at least for me .

I think this game has tons of potential. First off, yes, the story is largely based off of the movie "The Departed" but I don't think that's a bad thing, it's a great movie and the story for this game follows it very loosely. The renders are great. I don't enjoy following the other character but I also realize that he's crucial to the plot of the story and the developer does a good job at making you dislike him. I look forward to more updates, especially more Miranda content.

Visuals and models look very good so far, and story and c&c is still early, but promising to be more interesting than your average harem/highschool/home incest game.
With dual protagonist it can go both ways, and it depends of how actions from either side can affects main story events. ( but it is not a negative on it's own...people who don't 100% identify with one MC can find this approach more interesting than having singular set of motivations)
