Others - Goodbye Eternity [v0.10.0] [RNGeusEX]

Extra Life [v0.4.3] review

This is very, very good!

Backgrounds are amazing, the characters are cute and funny and the writing is fantastic.

So far it's quite short, think of this more like a tech demo. But that's fine, because what's in here is really really promising.

I would give this a super easy 5 if it wasn't for some really egregious game design choices:
- No map icon. This means that to go from your room to work there's a shitload of unnecessary clicks. Like a lot of them.
- No option to progress time other than napping in your room. This means that if you go to a location you need to be at in the wrong timeslot, you'll have to go back home again to nap. And since there's no fast way to get to your room, there's a bunch of unnecessary clicks yet again. Progressing time in a multiple-timeslot game and having a map is just basic common sense! It's hard to forgive this kind of basic oversight when the rest of the game feels so professional.

I can understand the Dev's need to pad the game out a little, because it's kinda short at the moment, but forcing unnecessary clicks is not the way to go and a dev of this caliber should definitely understand this.

- And lastly, the game is linear. There's no point in having an open world map and a million clicks to go between places if the story is on rails. Maybe the Dev will decide to give players a proper chance at branching progression later, but as it stands right now, there's none of it. Open world game with linear progression = bad game design.

All in all though, the game is extremely promising. The writing is really top notch, something I rarely see in H-games these days. And the art is amazing. Gonna keep a close eye on this one going forward.

5 out of 5, not gonna lie , this game has all the potential to succeed and stand out on top. The graphics are exquisite , the story foundation is well made and the animations are as fluid and astonishing as they should be . I see that this game has a lot of "out of the box" ideas and concepts , this keeps it fresh and exciting and holds a little ambiguity to the storyline for the player to try and reshape his former past .

Hell yeah!
I decided to give this game a try after the Vaginal sex tag was added. Oh, boi! I was in for a surprise!

Pros:

• Great visuals
• Interesting storytelling and plots
• Nice UI
• Smooth use of music and SFX
• A likable MC
• Nice looking characters
• Good character design (Variety of personality and well designed)
• Good animations
• Very well written
• Amazing sex scenes

Between good and bad:
Sex scenes could be improved I think
Cons:
There is some grinding

Overall the game has very little content but It is quality content and there are some good variances in the game.

Among so many games that try to bring the same concept and appeal this game stands his grounds.
Not only does it have a well founded story that keeps you reading and playing it also implements a developed and mature UI that makes playing a walk in the park.

+Story
+UI clear and simple
+Graphics
+Characters that have dept and are compelling.
+The way you collect your needed income.
+Hints
+Funny

Download Enjoy and support if you can.

Amazing art and good animations but gampley/writing really suck

The gamplay loop sucks, not the find the random spot for free money gimmick that was kind of amusing, the click a bunch to navigate the map just to repeat the same thing everyday in order to grind gimmick.

Writingwise the sex scenes are fine but the story and basically all of the characters/dialogue suck, it's the stereotypical m'lady/fedora guy stereotype played straight, somehow it turned out surprisingly better than how it tends to turn out when stumbled on unintentionally but it's still fairly terrible. Basically all guys are assholes that lead to the death of the women they're connected to(the only real exception being weird exercise dude that wants to stick stuff up the mc's ass) but luckily for them you're an asshole loser from the future that now attracts women through the power of plot convenience and poor writing(the developments aren't inherently bad but the execution tends to be fairly bad ) that intends to change the future.

Tldr;
The game has a weird obsession with trying to make the mc out to be a tragic hero and a strange need to make sure there's always a villain to pin the blame on for the misfortunes that transpire so that there's never a need for deeper thinking or more fleshed out writing than "that person sucks let's get revenge/make them pay". The game would legitimately be much better if just bad luck/unfortunate circumstances or just events that could've been resolved via hindsight were more common instead of generic male villain number 666 was behind everything bad that happened in regards to this! and gasp!! I remember that other villain was responsible for what happened in this unrelated event!!!

Damn amazing overall. First time i wasnt skipping dialogues, even trough i wanted just a quick relief, not diving into the story. Hoping this game would live for a long time, with frequent and decent updates. Exellent.

This game is amazing, cant wait for futur update, art is beautiful and girl lovely ! Really good job ! one of my favorite game, for a first game it's really good ! Some option for the story, realy good thing hope this game will be never abandonned. When this game will be complete it will amazing game

After trying the game in its most recent version (v0.4.2) I can say that I like the game a lot, I like the design of all the characters so far, perhaps the only bad thing I see is that it is a lot of grinding for little" action", maybe there should be a little more scenes in between since many times it's just work and going to the park and home
the other bad thing is that there is no button to advance time, you have to go to the MC's bed and maybe the house is poorly distributed and it makes me a little tired, and finally this is more personal taste but I would like a patch or an option to enable incest as such
apart from that, great game, I love the 5 animations that are currently and Noriko, she's a bi*ch but I love her

Good game and anime style high quality art. Sandbox style 2DCG game. With nice sound effects and humor. Game play is not boring but it's short. You don't have to work in other places to earn money. You can find money simply by clicking surroundings. Because game is not implemented yet. If you like sandbox style 2DCG games give this one a try. Artstyle is the biggest plus point of this game other than that there is nothing much. But I liked the game looking forward to next updates

Version : 0.3.91 [PC]
Time Played : 2-3 hours

Extra Life is a game where the MC is sent back into the past to relive his life. The plot isn't utterly groundbreaking or unique but it has potential to be a good story. You can influence the MC's actions to a variety and has a feeling akin to that of a VN.

Pros ( + ) :-

• Great Art. Pretty Unique Artstyle. The backgrounds are colourful and detailed, look stunning in different time settings and even have animations.
• Fantastic UI. This is the best UI in any game I have played on this site. The buttons slide into place, highlight when you move your cursor over them, and are not static.
• Realistic proportions of body shapes.
• Money is provided via alternative routes unlike doing the same activity over and over.
• There is a CG screen as well where you can view the characters in different emotions and different settings as well.
• There is no need for a walkthrough as the game is pretty simple in its storyline and instructions. The UI really helps here as hints/ directions are integrated very well.
• Grammar and use of language seems correct.
• Has some animated scenes.

Cons ( - ) :-

• Since its still in early development there's not a lot of content.
• There's not a lot of sex scenes.
• It is a sandbox and as a result, shares one of the most common problems of these type of games - Go there , talk to X, Go back , talk to Y and repeat .

May Affect your choice ( ~) :-

• The art style sometimes is inconsistent compared to the sprite.
• Not really a lot of kinks exposed so far.
• The corruption may be a bit cliché.
• MC can come off as a bit of a dick.

It may be noted that a lot of the negatives and other parts of my review focuses on aspects which has not yet been expanded upon by the Dev right now. As of the the update mentioned in the review, the game shows a lot of potential - Very unique Art and UI, Decent story and classic sandbox gameplay mechanics . The game is still in early development and it shows. If I was basing this review on solely the potential of it - it would be a perfect score right now. However, at this moment, there is just not enough content to warrant 5/5 so I'm giving a 4/5, with the intention to review it as the game gets updated.

In conclusion, great game in early development and I wish all the best to the Developer and I will be playing the game after every update.

This game is quite promising great art and a top tier story i normally don't care about visual novel storylines but this one is actually interesting and i really hope to see more.

really my biggest complaint right now is that this isn't a "dating sim" as it has been tagged but i can see a great groundwork for a dating sim and i hope they fully make it one with multiple routes dating just one girl or multiple girls etc.

Great game, I really like the game mechaniques and the story(even it's a sad city)
Plus: what an amazing thing: the game is in FRENCH. How can you reject it?
(I suppose an alternative title: "Chad rising" if you follow my mind ^^)

A good "anime style" games. The story is the same of lot of games here, but well done in this game. Pics are great ant the whole game is a good entertainment. Cant wait for the next updates ; it's promising !

I had originally given a rating of 4/5, but at this point it definitely deserves a 5/5.

Original review in 2021:
"The art is pretty. It is really clean and everything has a nice aesthetic.
Story is somewhat interesting. There are parts that don't make sense. Why does the sister go from hating the MC's guts to be in a sexual relationship in 1 day?"
Honestly I still think there is some minor pacing issues, but everything else works so well it's not worth mentioning.

Original comment: "Performance wasn't great for me, which is particularly concerning because there's not even that many features in the game and I never have performance issues with visual novels."
Performance is now fine, plus there's also an option for low end PCs. Can't believe this issue got addressed lol.

Original comment: "Very little content - I really don't care if the game doesn't have a massive assortment of CG, but the story has barely progressed anywhere."
Lot's more content at this point, the story can be cliche but it just works.

Original comment: "I recommend trying the game out for yourself, it will take less than 30 mins for one run."
The length of play through vastly improved, so has the breadth of meaningful options. Also, have I mentioned the art looks astonishingly good?

Art is fantastic, 11/10. Though, the MC looks like he's in his 30's and the sister's, half-sister's, cousin's, whatever she is, disgusted face looks like a blob.

Story: So far, I liked it, 8.5/10. I have nothing to say about it. Maybe MC can become a businessman in the future and make bank.

Setting: 8/10. I also like it, but it feels confined. I'm not sure why as I've played games with a similar setting to this and liked them. I know this game is new, so it's expected, however, maybe in the future it'll get better.

Characters: 8.5/10. Sister is annoying, though hopefully, maybe, as the story progresses, she gets friendlier and kinder as she realizes the MC is actually trying to help. I loved the mom; kind, beautiful, not too massive breasts, and did I mention kind? Though, she feels too naïve for a woman who has a daughter. She feels mature, but when it comes to sexual content, she feels naïve. Like she easily slept with MC even with very little progression. It would be better if you had to try harder, but not too hard, to make her be sexual, though IDK if this story has incest or not. The best friend: Didn't like him. He's kind, but sometimes outrages for no reason, and is suspicious as hell. Everyone else I have no problem against. I liked macho man, or mancuman I think. I think he should have a nickname like 'Macho Man' when the relationship between the MC and macho man develops.

Cheat: I tries to collect all the random cash drops, but game said I didn't find all of them. Not sure why, I even tried to forcefully change the script externally, though I couldn't find the cheat script.

Audio: 9/10 Liked the audio. Especially the moaning, though I'm not sure if it's a different game as I played a game right after this one. Most games have horrible moaning sounds but I liked this moan. The environmental sound feel ambient. I really liked the environmental sound.

Overall: A high rating, but not over the room. I calculated it and the average was a 9/10. But since I didn't like the dom portion and the bad money grinding system, it'll be lower. Maybe 8.5/10. The money also currently, 3.91, has no use so it feels pointless. And the sister dom thing was uhhh, I was ok with but I don't want it to continue for long as I would like some wholesome moments.

At the end of the day, I come to this site to masturbate. Since this didn't do anything for me, it's a failure.

Still, it's a very, very pretty failure.

I mean, props where they are due, this game looks good. The UI, backgrounds, character designs, and unique CGs are all very tasteful. The style and attention to detail here are on point -- the three people working on it are really putting in their best effort to give it all the right stylistic touches.

In fact, this game might eventually become one of the best on this site based solely on the art and writing. I don't recall specific grammar or spelling mistakes, although I vaguely recall a couple, but they didn't distract from the dialogue or intention of the characters. Despite the lack of content, I think the pacing here is also good, and I look forward to seeing the ongoing character development as it has been going on so far.

This game is working really hard to not become another generically bad Ren'Py dating sim, and it deserves recognition for that. This site has way, way too many of those games.

However, since it has been posted here, I have to rate it commiserate with what people can expect from it at this very moment, not what people think they can expect from it in the future. On that note, I doubt there's very many people who can climax from anything released so far. One female masturbation scene, and one under-clothes groping scene, are not enough for me, anyways. I'm here to jerk off, not to critique the artistic talents of the devs.

I'll keep an eye on this one, as should anyone reading this, but don't bother downloading it yet. Let it cook in the developer's kitchen for a while longer.

This game is very high quality. The story is pretty decent, the art is really well done and has massive attention to detail. The game is full of tiny little features that make it feel really polished. Looking forward to what else is in store for this game.

Saw 30+ high reviews and expected it to have some actual content. It doesn't, people are just fucking insane. Leaving this here so others don't make that same mistake. This is .1 first release amount of content. It's a prologue, an intro, it introduces a few characters and that's it. There's 1 single masturbation scene and nothing else sexual. Not even remotely worth downloading. Even if you're completely in love with the art and you've never seen anything so amazing in your entire life, bookmark it and check back in 2 years with this pace.

Excellent Game good balance between grind and content, great job dev.

I have to add extra characters to reach the 200 minimum so I'll additionally say that I like the art style as well as the pacing, not going straight into lewd stuff but making you build up some relationships first.

It's still very much early days but so far this is looking like a potential gem. Very well drawn and has a good mix of drama/humour without going overboard.

Only complaint so far is the first domination scene with Noriko. It's a fairly important scene but ends up being too fast and not detailed enough. I'm worried future scenes that should get preferential treatment will instead get the same quick, boring treatment but that said the first Noriko animated scene (on the same path) almost makes up for it so maybe that problem won't come up again.
