VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Haley's Story [v1.1 Pre-Patched] [Viitgames]

well well well...how the hell did i miss this gem? after reading the description it reminded me of another twin bro sis game (my sister my roommate...which is a great game btw)...but i dont want to review something by comparing with something else.
this VN is just beautiful...definitely one of the best i have ever played...excellent renders...excellent writing...story is pretty good...the build up is perfect and very realistic...not a bunch of H scenes but enough for now atleast (animations are well made)...also i loved the detail the dev has put into characters...very believable and unique...well what more can one ask? super hyped for how this turns out...
definitely try this one out if you looking for quality a VN

Tbth, I only DL'd because there just seems a be a real slump in decent games coming out recently... I was just looking for something a bit different-ish with decent-ish art and this game popped up in the "New Releases" section. I almost didn't DL it because I thought Haley looked too much like Lizzy Border from the 80's Metal Band \m/ (in the OP title screen)- Note to Dev: That really isn't a flattering picture of her, considering how stunningly she's rendered throughout the rest of the game. She is absolutely gorgeous!

This game is a hidden gem for many reasons, as I found out, and was pleasantly surprised by- yes, even though it's "that" topic. Lol This game actually does something not a lot of the other ones do- they let things happen. There's no talisman, book, potion, alien, pill, demon, wand, etc.,.- it just happens because...it happens.

It's also really refreshing to see the girl instigate things, while the brother is completely oblivious. It's obvious he cares about her and you're presented with some dialogue options that show you care, and then there are some that show you "care+". I really like the way it played out- you're even given the options like you have no interest in her whatsoever... C'mon though, HOW could you say know to that redhaired beauty?! I know I can't watch "Brave" without sportin' a chub. Lol What can I say? Merida replaced Ariel and I didn't even see it coming.

The art is exceptionally well done and so are the renders. The locations actually look like people live/work in those location. They aren't just randomly filled with generic assets to make it look habitable- it looks like people would live in the places. The ladies, oh the ladies are cute, sexy, adorable, and amazing.
Adriana- She's not holding up too badly for a "mature" woman. I'm still unsure about the pro/con of getting the HJ at dinner...
Sandra- Not normally a fan of sistahs, but I wouldn't mind getting "down with swirl" for some of that dark chocolate.
Alana- Hasn't really been given a whole lot to do yet, but she isn't hard on the eyes.
Lisa- She looks/acts like so much damaged goods, but looks/acts like she's be a whole lot of fun.
Diane- (I'm about to become a blasphemer...) She's attractive, but not really into ginormous fun-bags.
Haley- The crown jewel in this game. Even if she were only a side character, she'd still be the one that I'd have to- have to pursue. I think I'm in Love. Lol Haley is just the cutest li'l thing!

Last, but not least- the story is solid with a decent premise, BUT it's how it's written that really makes it stand out from similar games. The banter and interaction between Haley and MC is done really, really well. They act like a brother and sister, maybe if they were still 7 with larger vocabularies- but their dialogue is and sounds believable. What I love the most about it how playful, teasing, coquettish, shy, and fun Haley seems through her words and the renders- and how that attitude is conveyed. If I were planning on going against accepted, established societal norms with my sibling- there is no one I would rather do it with than Haley.

8/10 Another successful project. From the beginning, it looks like you're going to hit the ctrl key, but not. The story draws you. Ideal, simple and exciting. Perfect processing. Again one of the few games that did. Personally, I would add tears to rendering it to weight. Impression is essential. I'm delighted with this game. Whether she's a sister or a roommate. It does not matter. i wanna 3 things.
Add more corruption (incidents)
Better scene or more passionate
And mainly disappointment.
Otherwise, the perfect work of the developer.

The writing is really phenomenal, which matters more than you might expect. I don't just mean that it's natural rather than forced, although that's part of it. I mean that the writer went above and beyond. The characters are written as characters, and not just as plot devices whose purpose is to move the player along towards a satisfyingly erotic ending. For instance, the main character loves Samurai movies—it's a detail that 99% of erotic games would never include, because it's irrelevant to the plot. But I love it.

Excellent game! First of all we have here a nice choice of models, textures, and overall excellent 3D work (although I think the kisses lack a bit of... something). The thing that makes this game so good for me, though, is the writing. The slow pace is excellent and the tension building works really well. It also helps that the relationship between the MC and Haley starts off as a regular brother/sister thing. Plus, this isn't a game where the women are treated as disposable, interchangeable objects (finally!).

I can't wait for the next installments!

I really like this one.

The characters and the story are both sexy and sweet. The writing is good, getting the story across without any verbal bloat and the art is well done too. Enough characters to be interesting while keeping the story focused on the siblings.

Updates are regular and consistant and no bugs as yet.

I haven't finished it yet but this is already one of my favorites. Twins move to the city for a job and they share an apartment. You live the day-to-day lives and meet a memorable cast of characters, while you two battle the slow-moving feelings you have towards each other.

It's a rom-com slice-of-life VN. It's not extremely dramatic and it makes you feel good.

A brilliant VN so far with a great story and good character building.
+ Renders are gorgeous. Haley's character is just.. wow!
+ The relationship of MC with everyone is interesting and realistic.
+ The slow burn is done perfectly. You can see that the MC and Haley desire each other but they don't push their relationship towards something, nor do they push each other part. They just enjoy the moment.
+ Humor is on point.

- The only cons I could think of is that we're being pushed into a relationship. But I'm willing to accept it as a part of the plot and overlook it.
Thanks for a great game and cheers!

If you like writing in Ptolemy games, then you definitely should play HS. This guy and his team are always trying to bring something new to the table with each game. And from the looks of it we are gonna have another superb adult VN.

This is top notch so far. "So far" is just past the point the dinner with Haley's boss and her cheating husband in v0.10. I had to take a break at this point to show some appreciation for the game. It is brilliantly written, at least compared to the average games here. There are quite few "lewd-games" where I don't get bored by the dialogue and start skipping. This game as me reading it all, often feeling quite amused, and occasionally laughing out loud.

I also like that that the MC isn't instantly (or VERY QUICKLY) sexually interested in his sister. The first scene isn't him spying on her in the shower, or even considering her sexually. At the point that I'm writing this, I sense that there's some tension building up, and there's been some subtle hints. (Subtle to the MC at least. It's impossible to not know where this is heading for the player.)

SO: The writing is very good so far.
The characters have interesting personalities.
There are genuinely funny moments.
The pace feels spot on so far.
The tension is building up, and there's a good foundation for an erotic drama. The art is up to expected standards.
What animation I've seen so far hasn't been impressive, but that's not a deal breaker for me. I'd play it without animation.

So it's a good start, and we'll only have to hope that the creator can keep it up.

I really like this one. good story, renders, characters and all that. Even if it has no sex scenes yet (or minimal), it's already one of my favourite VN's. I hope the following updates will have the same, slow pacing too.

"Okay so, what drew me to try this VN out was the red-head in the preview pictures, but damn they don't do her justice, she's MUCH better in the VN itself, holy crap, can't get enough of her! I actually love every single female model/character in this one, I mean, why they all gotta be so desirable? I can't help but to go and attempt to build a harem, can't say no to any of them, haha!
I'm also actually glad that we finally have a black guy, Victor, who isn't a douchebag like in so many other stories, he's one of the few, so that's another big plus in my book, tired of the stereotypes."
a wise Eerie Entty said about the game.
I personally like the slow but believable and lovely way the love between the MC and Haley grows. There's that bickering sibilings have, but you know very welle, Haley will have your back when you're on your last match, and she knows how to be flirty with just a wink
cudoes to the devs. they mastered the art of facial expressions

The writing is intriguing and just keeps you interested. No sex scenes have happened and yet it's still is one of my favourites. Renders are solid. The relationship between characters nice especially with the brother and sister teasing and making fun each other while still loving and caring still.

Thnak You! I realy like the story, the character and the choices you can make in this game. The graphic is great as well. The only "negative" i can tell are the animations, but thats only becouse of me, and my sky high demands on that department( after Milfy City i question everything sorry). Overall this is one my favorite game. Keep up the good work.

I never reviewed anything in f95zone. but I can't leave this one alone. this game truly gives you a brother/sister love feeling. we haven't seen any sex scene and yet this game is mind blowing. the story is very good. I'm loving it. waiting for the next version.

I found this game today, game feels pretty good, renders look good. There should be more choices tho.

Story of course is just starting but feels Cozy when it comes to relationship with Haley and so far the only thing i dont really, really like about this game is character named Sandra, her character is pretty boring and her model not to my likings, pretty generic i might say..
But you are pretty much forced to be in relationship with this character and well i like to have a choice in games, that's why 3 star rating for now.

Like everyone else so far full star rating...
Excellent quality renders.
Very like able characters and females are super hot, especially Haley so hopefully some action with her.
Reminds me a lot of Life WIth Mary specifically the quick answers and wit.
If the dev keeps this pace up it will become a classic.
Well done dev.

My Rating for Haley's Story [v0.05]:
Pros:

-Great Renders
-Easy Playing
-plenty of Characters
-Different Story path then usual
-Small Size of Package
-Long Playing time
-Sweet Sister
Cons:
-None right now

I love the relationship between the 2 siblings.
It reminds me of Dreaming of Dana and My sister my roommate.
The character designs are great and the dialogue is funny.
It's still very early in the story but I can't wait to see more of it.
It easily became one of my favorite games that are currently in development.

Took a chance on this game, and wow, am I glad I did.

The renders are great, the characters are great and they each have their own distinct personality. The author also nailed the sibling dialogue.

I have huge expectations for the rest of the game, based on the build so far.

5/5
