Ren'Py - Harmony Girls [v0.4.25 Public] [Osirian]

The Good:

• Animations - all scenes animated (but often repeated)

The Mid:

• Visuals - not good, not bad
• Kinks - Some kinks, but nothing special
• UI - it is there but it is ugly

The Meh:

• Story - Boring dialogue, no intro into the world and in consequence no connection to the characters.
• grindy & clicky gameplay loop

Conclusion:
Feels like a test build for the core gameplay-loop, where the story is layed out but isn't implemented yet. I almost never skip dialogue, but this one made me speedread/skip after just a few minutes in hope of finding an engaging management/gameplay loop but I did not find it.

2.5 rounded to 3 *

I think this is a 5-star plot, idea, and execution, so why is it only 4 stars?

Even with cheats, this game is just too much of a grind. It's fun at first until you've seen the same animations 1000 times, but the MC is beautiful and you enjoy going on this journey of self-discovery with her. Overall, this would be a 5-star game if it was more VN focused instead of grinding experience-focused.

It'S a very good game. The whole idea of a circle of friends becomimg active on a online platform and working on and "researching" in theire kinks and preferences it's funy and nice. Thank you for the work!

Animations and scenes are absolutely fantastic but the ui is rather bad. Gameplay is so-so, 'sandbox' (on rails) with a rather uninspiring minigame during the scenes. The story is simple, predictable, and mostly dialogue.

Tldr; five star graphics with 2-3 star everything else.

I recently played this game, and I must say, the animations are nothing short of amazing! As someone who works with animation and is a game developer myself, I truly appreciate the level of effort and skill that went into creating these smooth and captivating motions. The character movements are fluid, the expressions are on point, and the overall feel of the animations adds so much to the experience.

The game is off to a fantastic start

Very good porn game. Also contains a lot of lesbian and urination and foot worship. I like it. And a good story. I can't wait for other updates from this game. It's really good.

Mabey in the future also add scat... ;-).

But definitely recommended to download and play. Really worth it.

What an awesome game. It actually avoids the usual traps of the genre and provides a believable perspective on the topic (Sex Work). It's unique in that sense here, where 99.999% of games seem to be written by horny teenage boys.

The progression is great, the characters have agency and their road to SW is different and interesting. It might come a little close to being preachy when it comes to kinks and sex in general, but it's leagues better than anything you normally find here.

I can't wait to see more of this!

Really cool concept, nice feeling of progression through this take on corruption games, here you really feel that your character progresses organically through her sexualisation. The anal discovery is especially well done.

This game is just breezy fun.

It's unique. Surprisingly adult. It's about a girl who gets wrapped up in camming and later prostitution and the writing is impressively mature about it. The cast is great, I like the characters. It doesn't try to say anything too significant; it's very clear that the developer is just here to have a good time and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're looking for melodrama, this definitely ain't it.

The game looks pretty neat too. I've never really seen character designs like this before, the animations look unique, nobody's ugly but nobody's a supermodel either and that actually adds to the attraction for me. These are people you could meet at the bar.

The sex system and character leveling is a bit obtuse. That's my only complaint. Eventually you get used to it, but honestly, that might be part of the game's charm. There's just nothing else really like it out there. It's something new. And my respect for that cannot be understated.

The main selling point of this game is the porn minigame and the whole RPG system connected to it. Otherwise it's really nothing special, story is almost non-existent, characters, dialogues, art is meh.

The minigame/RPG mechanics are interesting and are well done, but I'll be honest, I don't think it's a good idea. I mean in a porn game porn should be the reward for doing stuff, not the vehicle for grinding (more) stats/points. It tooks away the the fun quickly, the lewd parts become a boring chore after a while (you'll select the actions that bring more points instead of selecting the actions you personally find interesting).

This is just my opinion though, my rating is based on the uninteresting story/characters/etc. The game is more like a demo for the mechanics.

The first time I tried this game, I thought it was bad, and I even ignored the thread... But, I guess it's a game, and not a VN, so reading helps the immersion, so I tried it again and it is excellent. The graphics and girls are excellent.
I just wish there would be some events, maybe when meeting some random prize winner to spice up the story, but It's still early in development so lets see where dev is bringing us.

Good game. Amy is hot and some of the actions is nice. The mechanics is a bit complicated but the tips is helping out. I also like the frequence of new releases. Since I like watersports, I am curious if the other girls also will develop that fetish. Now it is just Amy who offer that.

Well, what can I say...this game is refreshingly uncomplicated, has adorable characters - nicely animated ;o) - and I got really aroused while playing it. I´m curious, where that goes...congrats for developing and thank You for sharing this little "jewel" Best regards...

Surprisingly pleasant debut as of now (v. 0.2).

The characters are decent and believable, also visually, if you like it more on the realistic side.

You have to gain stats while having sexy times to access more... expanded sexy times. Can't think of a more pleasant way to integrate a grinding mechanic and the amount is quite well balanced to keep you occupied.

So far the story as well as the animations are nice and hopefully there will be a lot more of it, can't wait!

Extremely good effort for a 0.2 release.

Art is very good
Story is interesting and avoids a lot of the usual corruption cliches
The girls actually have distinct personalities and appearances and don't look like impossibly perfect supermodels
The one guy in it so far is interesting and not the usual massive dicked massive dick
Gameplay is fun as satisfying with progress feeling earned but not grindy

Very promising game with beautiful renders, for future updates it would be good to separate the skill between hands and feet, and propose different positions for each sexual act (anal, footjob, blowjob…).
For now, it’s a 5/5 for me, hoping there will be more footjobs and foot fetish scenes in the next updates

Super early to be doing a review on this, but a really good start.

This is a throwback to some of the original Adult VNs out there and it is done pretty well. There are challenges, but for the most part, it is a really good start. Basically, you help direct Lily through the life of a camgirl. It starts off with her willing to do it so there is no corruption or anything but anything new she tries is just a new experience. There are skill or perk points, stress levels, an income system, relationship statuses, etc and a very basic sandbox system. It is pretty good, but it does need some tweaking.

For example, she can make a lot of money pretty easily. I think it should be harder to earn perk/skill points, and at one point you can set it up so the MC can essentially fuck a fan. So she can fuck a fan and do a cam show every day. Personally, I think the FAF should be weekly or twice a week and she should not be able to do both on the same day.

Regardless, the gamification needs to be balanced a bit more but it is something the dev can do as the game progresses.

Anyway, it worth a look. I hope to see this one continue for a while.

Review as of v0.1

TLDR; Pretty good fem protagonist games with some minigames and a stat management style game play loop

Story: Pretty basic story about a young girl in need of money, It seems to be taking less of a damsel in destress route and more around sextual exploration which is refreshing for a female protagonist game.

Game play: Its a standbox vn with some stat framing and time\money management mechanics, the mini game during cam streams is interesting using card game mechanics to maximize cash\stat earning. Grind is minimal

Characters: MC is likeable and the characters around mostly female with nice if somewhat generic personality traits.

Visual: Characters have a more realistic\'ordinary' look to them which I like. Particularly the main character her room mates. The animations are very smooth.

HOPIUM Section(this makes up 50% of the review.... kidding... or am i??!) : Hopefully the dev will build on the gameplay loop and introduce more elements that use the stat in interesting ways to avoid any grinding that might come into play with the additions of more animations\jobs\events.
