VN - Ren'Py - Halfway House [Ep.11 - Bonus 7-8] [Az]

Honestly one of the best looking VN games made in Ren'Py right now.

-Story is super engaging
-all the characters feel real.
-One of the best, if not THE BEST, looking Ren'Py-made game. Skins on the characters all have natural shine (if you've been around this site for a while you know that there are plenty of others games that have characters that looks plasticky like a doll or looked oiled up). And while it feels weird to say this, but this game also has one of the most realistic looking cum (none of that complete opague white looking half solid that's trying to pass as fluid)

-if there's any take away I'd say the dialogue can use some more proof reading. There's some typos here and there and some awkward phrasing imo but nothing that breaks the immersion
-if eventually this game can adopt actual animation for select sex scenes that'll be fucking rad

Honestly this game has an unbelievable quality for being a rookie project. I can say that this is probably one of the few games that'll definitely be worth supporting if the dev keeps up the quality. I can't wait for the next episode!

This game is one of the most unexpected games so far this year, and is practically a hidden gem so far. The renders are practically god like and the nude scenes are perfect.

Art Style 10/10
Renders 10/10
Story 8/10
Writing 9/10
Characters 9/10

Why are you still looking at this review? Go "play" the game.

For a first release this is very well done.

Story- The characters make sense., the situation makes sense and it's decently written. The 3 women are all hot (Ashley in particular) and all in different ways, they also all have different personalities. It also looks like choices are actually going to matter. The fact the dev has limited it to 3 main women also means I'm not too worried about this spiraling out of control to the point the dev loses control of it all. I do hope there is other women later on in minor fuck scenes though.

Scenes- There's not many yet but what is here is good, the fact the scene has different camera angles the player can toggle is a nice touch. My overall feeling was wanting to see more.

Overall for a very first release you have something that's high quality, has 3 sexy women and is well written. Literally the only criticism I can bring is the relative lack of scenes. That said I cannot wait to see more. When/If the dev releases a 3rd episode if it's of similar quality I'm backing them straight away.

Rob Review: Halfway House: ren'py daz3d ,choices that matter ,content avoidable through choices,beautiful renders, good humourous renders for scenes,some yumyum scenes but no penetration scenes yet.intelligent legible writing with a great premise and story telling to back it up..you see the MC(usually a nono for me ) but he's cool looking adult looking and not scrawny..good variation in the dames..a sassy milf who likes the attention you give her..a wild out of control party girl with too much experience who wants to control you..will you let her or turn the tables? and a sweet cuddly waif who acts all feisty and tough but you know is desperate for a warm cuddle and to just be held by someone who cares...all in all it flows very well ..does not deviate into WTFery and keeps me immersed and enthralled..4.5/5 (i had to select 5 because half stars not allowed..HAHAA)

Gotta say i wasn't expecting this to be good, this is your generic episode story progression and multi-choice option however this game has place itself at high in its game play and story:

Game play: typical multi choice and for once a statues review for every episode when it ends, nothing out of the ordinary but doesn't displace itself when using originality. 5/5

Story: The main character doesn't look nineteen in my opinion but still enough to understand the protagonist perspective, for once i never actually skip dialog when progressing through the game, perhaps what captivated me the most was the characters, at first i didn't like the 3D models at first but i felt digressed by learning how interesting the their story are, not just the girls presented to the player but the npc as well. 4/5

Progression: ill try making this spoiler free but starting off the bat meeting how an npc react towards a girl will automatically tell the players that she is romance-able and done so humorously and the other introduction of the fellow house mates felt smooth for an introduction unlike other games where you meet them, they come to you with an impression of their personality, judging them by THEIR actions instead of what they mean to you as a player is very important to a character development and this game has done it well. 5/5

In conclusion i doubt anyone is gonna read all of what the fuck i typed so here is a short summary, try this game you will not regret it and i know this game will prosper so stick around for future updates.
-Justapervert ^_^

This game has to be quite literally one of the very best on the site. Astounding and intricate graphics with an equally impressive script/story to back it up. Even at this early stage, the game has decent content and no. of pictures.I am loving all characters revealed so far ( especially Samantha .) and am simply at a loss for word at the level of CG this game has. I am absolutely certain if the developer stays consistent this game will easily become a fan favourite.

For me, I can already see this becoming one of my favorite games because of great renders, good story (seems kinda original to me, which is always a plus), pacing is also good, it has a little bit of everything. It's only episode 2, so too early to tell how the story will progress, however, as I said, there seems to be a bit of everything for everyone in this game.

Overall:

Renders 5/5
Story 4/5 (might change depending on the future episodes)
Pacing 5/5 (Exactly how I like it)
