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

Plus:
Interesting story, beautiful girls, multiple ending, the FMC is pretty sassy

Minus:
The girls from supporting role don't had many scenes

Big thanks for , can't wait for your next game

Not worth starting. The writing quality falls off a cliff and explodes into cliches and a classically rushed ending. I didn't play with the incest patch but I doubt that finishes the storylines. Admittedly, the animations are good though.

"Haley's Story" is a sweet, funny, and sexy VN, one very much worth playing for those who enjoy the brother-sister taboo (with the incest patch) or the forbidden roommate angle (without the patch). This is not a VN for those looking to fap right out of the gate. The relationship between Haley and the MC builds slowly, in a way that felt deliciously real to me.

There are other love interests (LIs), but as the title makes clear, it is Haley's story, so if you're looking for a harem or hoping to be with only another character, you should look elsewhere. Having said that, Haley is...uh, open minded, so your MC won't feel lonely.

I really enjoyed the whole story, though were some plot elements I wish had been fleshed out more. Unfortunately, I get the impression that the dev was getting bored or hoping to move on to something else, because the ending seems quite rushed, and the last third or so of the VN contains no player choices.

The artwork is fine. Not the best available, but Haley is gorgeous and very sexy. The animations are a bit janky, but get the job done.

Ya I would have to echo what another poster said in their review that this game was one I really enjoyed up until the point (spoiler) you find out some history of Haley that was "questionable consent" at best and rape at worst. From that point in the game, things just felt really unpleasant due to the subject matter and I stopped playing the game.

Review as of v1.1 Final (some spoilers)

I'm really not into incest type stories, but this game caught my eye for a few reasons - it is highly rated and marked complete, a rarity in itself. Additionally the impression I got was that it is an in-depth exploration of the MC-Haley relationship, which was a welcome break I was looking for, coming from myriad harem style games. And finally, Haley's appearance from the screenshots just stuck with me and I had to get to know her.

Haley's character model has to be one of the most attractive to my eyes across the many AVNs I have played. She is a cute red-head with an impossibly slim body, but still possessing attractive curves. The piece de resistance is of course her hairstyle, and that long luscious braid that seems to have a mind of its own across scenes, flying from one position to another, but rarely just resting passively. Her face itself might not be the prettiest across AVNs, but I absolutely fell in love with Haley's overall look.

You can pursue other LIs with Haley alongside, or Haley solo. As soon as Haley's relationship started developing further, I went with her solo route as she was the main attraction for me in the VN. The Sandra character got dumped by MC organically, which I didn't mind as she was kind of boring anyway. Didn't pursue any other LI either, except a brief FWB fling (one scene really) with Diane, which I reverted back to only friends when presented with the choice.

The story and dialog develops well organically for the first 50-60% of the game. The crude banter between Haley and MC does not get grating till the latter half of the game, and successfully communicates the fact that Haley is using it as a defense mechanism. However, this kind of banter has a tendency to overstay its welcome if overused, although it was mostly tolerable here even towards the end.

The biggest weakness of this game is that it loses steam in the last 30-40% (atleast on the Haley solo route) after a very strong first half. MC inexplicably started to act like an asshole to Haley for no apparent reason, before suddenly going back to his normal caring self in the last few scenes. The second half is clearly rushed with some typos and wrong character names for dialogs as well.

In the latter half, MC-Haley scenes seem to get stuck in a groundhog day type repetitive cycle, and all other characters just seem to disappear. Towards the end, you just never get to see the reactions of characters like the two bosses, Diane, Lisa etc. to the MC-Haley relationship. After some heaving and hawing, with the dad character becoming a persistent annoying presence in the last section of the game, the story just ends on an average note.

Still, I really do like a lot of the relationship building with Haley for the first half of the game, and she is also just really very hot imho, so I do recommend this game.

I enjoyed this game a lot. Dialogue was great, story good.

The girls looked good with their "resting faces", but the facial expressions often need a lot of work.

Animation technique was not bad but the choreography and camera angles were too bland for me. Penetration art needs some work. I would say the strongest point of the animator were the blowjobs.

Nice funny game and nice animated scenes and ah well. I enjoyed the game and might play it at a later time to go for another ending but the things aren't too clear while playing. Of course, I always play with walkthroughs and mods as much as possible to get the perfect endings. Don't have enough time for multiple playthroughs. Do give this one a chance another benefit is that it's a completed game so there's that.

First of all I'm pretty sure the corruption tag is misplaced.

Other than that, Haley is probably the best sister you gonna find in any of these sister incest games. She's cute, she's fun, though some people might find her excessive clinginess to be annoying. I personally like Adriana, so the ending feels very half-baked to me. The trauma portion of the story comes out of nowhere and goes nowhere. Nevertheless, Haley is great enough of a character to guarantee a 5 star for this game.

This story is simultaneously one of my favorite, and least favorite games I have played in a while, basically it was a good game that was ruined by a "surprise the main LI was raped" plot.

Its annoying because it wasn't in the tags, and as someone who does not like when an LI is raped in a game it came out of nowhere and dropped my enjoyment from wow this game is 4-5/5 to 1/5 immediately.

Basically Haley was "raped" in the past (she liked it, but since its student-teacher it is technically rape) and basically uses you as a surrogate of her teacher, IE constantly calls you "daddy" pretends that you are the same as the teacher who did it to her, and talks about how she "loves" the guy/ has kinks involving BDSM because of him. Basically he corrupted her and turned her into a psuedo-nympho, and she almost treats you as a replacement for him and thinks about him every time you guys have sex. It ruined the story for me , every time she calls you "daddy" it just disturbed the fuck outa me, but I hate stories with the LI being raped so maybe that's just me.

Fundamentally it should have been in the tags or planned tags so that people have information on what they are going to be playing before they get invested in the story and characters.

Loved the game. The expression on the characters' faces was especially appreciated. The dialogues' were very funny and seemed quite natural.
One thing though, it's really hard to get all the endings, a button to skip to the next choice if there is nothing new in-between would be very nice.
Thanks for your effort.

A VN focused on a brother & sister romance.

You play as the brother of Haley, whom you basically share your life with. She's quirky with a dose of sarcasm, and a pivotal character so your enjoyment hinges on taking a liking to her.

There are several story paths. All of which involve Haley as far as I'm aware. It's either Haley, or Haley plus one other love interest of your choice.

What one might fault it for is that there is lots of day-to-day banter. It comes down to taste whether that is an issue or not. For some it makes things more down-to-earth and relatable, and others might feel like there's too much filler to pad the game's length.


I'd recommend this if you're into (or can overlook) the brother & sister thing; as it's renowned as one of the best in the genre.

Haley's Story is a very nice game focused on brother-sister relationship. There are other love interests in the game but neither of them are as fleshed out and interesting as Haley, the sister. But that doesn't mean they're all expelicity bad. The story is fairly well written and relationship between main character and his sister feels very natural and progresses in a believable way. Game forces you into two different relationships; with your sister and with one of the other girls. Being forced into a relationship with your sister in sister incest game is kinda understandable but second forced relationship is with one of the most generic and bland girls ever. It serves some story purposes i guess but still, being forced into anything against players will is not a good thing. Generally speaking, the game structure and how it handles different girls routes and endings is kinda confusing. For example, if you want to achieve an ending with "girl 3" even if you do everything right with her, you will be not able to do that without forcefully ending "girls 1 and 2" routes first. Its kinda messy because game never tells you anything about this.

Renders are quite solid. Nothing spectacular of course but they're not bad. Animations are solid, they are not 2 frame loops so that's a good thing. Mostly during a scene there is only one animation with different speeds so it wouldn't hurt to have some more diversity, different camera angles etc. Sex scenes themselves are kinda short but at the same time rather rewarding, hot and happening in a realistic way. Characters looks ok, some better than the others. All girls looks fairly realistic and believable. Very nice music.

Overall Haley's Story is a good game and enjoyable experience. It's not amazing or anything but the story and writing are good, relationship between brother and sister is really well done and renders are quite nice. Reaching one ending took me around 12 hours.

This VN really hits me good.
First, i found the renders really good and with the girls having many outfits. So already a good point.

Then i really liked Haley's personality. I quite was fond of her and would have loved a girl like her.
Then even if there are moments where i would have loved a less "unidirectionnal" story, i was quite into it, and could relate to the issue presented by the MC's girlfriend and sister.
So for me, it's a clear 5 stars.

Now i understand that using the world of psychology like dealing with past trauma will add spiciness to the story. That Haley became bitter, hostile, and clingy because she was broken etc etc. I get it really, but i'm having a hard time relating to the story because: just because you're in pain, it won't give you the privilege of being an asshole to everyone all the time. In short, i found Haley's character is annoying and unappealing most of the times, except when she asks to be punished because she's been naughty, i'll give you that.

Her character is like being caught between two sides and she can't get out of it, which is confusing, twisted, and manipulative. Not nice. I'd imagine she is actually a kind hearted girl but you can't be a victim and a perpetrator at the same time. It just too much. In the end she had to make a choice, with or without her brother which she couldn't do. It was very selfish and childish, and also cowardish.

I appreciate the witty banter between these 2 siblings, however i'm sick of hearing it after about a quarter of the story. Haley's real motive there was just asking for reassurance, it was just her voice screaming in pain and wrapped in comedy because she didn't dare to be with her own emotions. So, it's not actually funny and it's very sad.

That is all i have to say, after wondering when all these stories will end for days

I loved this game. The dynamic between the main character and Haley was fun and entertaining. The other potential LIs all felt unique and interesting in their own ways. Great game! Good luck to the Dev on his future games, I'll be looking forward to them.

This game looks good, is well written and is all around a great time! I was initially a tad frustrated by the fact that I didn't really get to choose whether I wanted a certain relationship or not, but it all worked out eventually and I got to pursue the titular character. What this game excels at are the cute moments in-between. The nose biting, the refusal to let the other go after sex, the adorable co-dependency. I've never seen any game nail those like this one!

In summary: This game warms my heart and swells my chub!

My only complaint is that there isn't more! The story is great, the characters are attractive and compelling, the h-scenes are good. Haley in particular is just lovely, though I like redheads so maybe I'm biased. Highest possible recommendation.

It's such a game that any of the individual details that I single out and evaluate are particularly good in none of them, but overall they are very interesting and enjoyable. Because of this I could not say anything special, and if the author intends to create another such game in the future, I think it should be borne in mind that this game is a sex game and therefore the sex scenes should be varied and long.

brief: long and boring, graphics as bad as they look in preview

I tried this game early on and was disappointed at the lack of content. Assuming this was a story-centric slow burner I left it and came back to play the full version.

This game is not a psychological attitude-driven slow-burner, it is a content-lean and mostly boring game. The graphics are not fantastic, but you can probably figure that out from the previews. The animations are mediocre or less. I tried to stick with the story but half way through I just couldn't cut it. The whole thing made no sense with zero progression.

The first love interest kept "saving herself" and it is safe to say that the whole game kept doing the same with a heavy and loooooong game but no real end product to be proud of.

First things first.

If you are into brother/sister kinda thing, i HIGHLY reccomend this one. Please dont forget to use the incest patch!!!

I really wish we had a 10 star rating instead of 5 stars ...

I dont play these games for the porn. I like a good story, i like likeable characters, i like relatable characters and (mostly) believable stories, good renders and pleasing models.
Not saying i dont enjoy the porn but its not my main focus.

There were VN's that i stopped playing because of bad writing, even if the renders were pretty good and models were good. Other games had decent story but bad models and simply ugly faces ... the porn was never a major point in rating games.

Also, spoilers ahead. Oh and dont play this without the incest patch.

Oh and its my first ever review on anything. This review will probably be all over the place.

And as a last thing, at the time of writing this review, i've only played the Haley path twice. I havent seen the other paths/endings

Anyway.

Ill start with the good.

I fkn loved this VN. I, like most people here, have a fetish. For me its brother/sister type of thing (so maybe im a bit biased?)

Haley's story ticked most of the boxes for me.

I really enjoyed the story, i both laughed my ass off and teared through it.
I really liked how the relationship between the MC and Haley evolved. I loved all the teasing and banter between them.

How their relationship evolved was a very positive thing for me. It didnt felt rushed, it happened naturally.
That being said, i think MC was a bit slow on this. She clearly shown signs that she was into him for a long time. It took MC quite a lont time to figure this one out ... (this is not a thing that impacted the score tho, its just an observation)

This VN reminded me of Avalon (you'll know why if you ever played that one) which is a good thing. I enjoyed Avalon.

The renders were decent to good. Nothing to write home about but they were decent enough not to impact my score too much.

Animations were mediocre but believable (no GIANORMOUS dick on MC for instance) as long as they are not horrible, i dont care.

Models were good to very good. I really liked how Haley looks.
That being said, some of the facial expressions were a bit off


So far i would give a 5 star rating (7 or 8 out of 10 if we had 10 stars) but there are some issues with this VN.
As with any other VN, this is not perfect


The not so good things

Story. A few problems here.

Keep i mind, i only played Haley only route so far. I intend to check out the other routes soon.

THE ENDING!!!!!! Come one guys. Why did you have to do this .... Its obviously rushed. Very rushed. The game was so fkn good all the way until the end where you just rushed the crap out of it.

This is the major flaw in the game. The ending was rushed ... such a good ride until the ending ...

Then there's the fact that the story forces you to date Sandra, there is no way around it, even if you dont care for her (i really didnt like her ... )

If you, like me, stick to Haley route (which i will consider canon), the other characters kinda vanish at some point. If you dont pursue their routes, they simply dissapear. Its only you and Haley.
Thats just strange and weird. Its like they dont have friends anymore.

Also, i decided to follow Diane path as well (she is a side character and doesnt matter what you do with her, it wont affect the ending).
It kinda ended abruptly. Like, one day we were talking on doing some more things togheter and the next day she dissapeared. There was no more Diane ... your next door neighboor which you had sex with .... i mean ... wtf

Same goes with the other characters, even the "main ones", they simply dissapear (haley is obvously the main LI). Still, if you dont follow their paths towards a different ending, they vanish.

Oh and btw, story related, what happened to Klaus? I mean sure i can guess but really? There is no explanation, Haley doesnt confront you about it ... What happened with the other Haley?
Is Klaus dead? what happened?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

All in all, i would give this game a 7-8 out of 10 stars but since we dont have that, its 4 out of 5.

I would give 5 out of 5 if it wasnt for the rushed ending and the seemingly vanishing characters depending on the route you go for.
