Ren'Py - Harmony Girls [v0.4.75] [Osirian]

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.
