Ren'Py - Hazelnut Latte [v0.13.3 Patreon] [Rad Lord]

I got baited at first and kept on following the game but it is time to put an end to it: This isn't a trap game, this is a woke game.

The characters in this game are either boys or trans with only one girl in the bag, which have almost no exposition.
The point here is that there is maybe one boy that can pass as a trap, others are completely boys.
The whole reason behind this is that the drawing lacks more and more of details the more the game have content. If you do know a bit about drawing or have just a keen eye, you do know that the difference between a girl and a guy in those are the body shape and the face. The body being curvier and the face having bigger eyes or/and eyelashes for the women.
In Hazelnut Latte, the guy have guy's bodies and their eyes are small without eyelashes. Those are guys.

Originally, trap were supposed to be cuter than women. There was the saying "a girl can't be this cute". Because those were traps, as such, there were supposed to trap you (well in Japanese it's not the term trap but whatever) in making you believe that you were chasing the cutest girl and not a guy.
This aspect is completely ruined with nowadays traps that don't understand a thing about what they are supposed to be picturing.

Back onto Hazelnut, at first the main Li was actually cute. Not as much as it should be, but as much as trap are nowadays. But with the let-down of the drawing level, it took a blow and the only thing I see is a guy with middle hair.
The others guys aren't better, making it actually a gay game. And trap isn't supposed to be gay.

The woke part appeared later in game, the more characters were presented. People being trans without any reason, calling guys "they" at first contact. There was a really mundane dialogue with an apparent woman, saying that she is trans and would rather be referred she/her in the most subtle way existing. All the men asked the Mc if he is okay with their sex too, which felt normal at first but since the Mc is just going after men all the time, it finished by feeling wrong.
At this point, the dev should have done the world of Hazelnut of such as these practices usual rather than making the Mc a degenerate only going on guys and trans people while pretending to be straight.
I should add that the game gives you a choice asking if trans bother you and just kick you out if you say that it does indeed. You do feel that your opinion really matter at such instance.
What about the acceptance speech?

Honestly, I do not think that the game was supposed to be this big originally. The others characters, the empty sandbox, the debt system, all being added way too late into the game. If it was supposed to be that open, then the first whole episode wouldn't be a one on one with the guy that have almost no exposure in the latest update.
The following 2 episodes widen the world through the first character but halfway, he stopped being important, unveiling the change of direction. That is the moment the trans rush began but having a straight guy being interested in two cute boys and having a straight guy going suddenly after boys and trans only, are two completely different set of mind. It shows a lack of care in the world building.
Again.

Now, if it does was fun, I wouldn't complain.
But the whole original idea being about meeting a trap, you can understand that the story isn't the strong point of the game, and having me complaining about woke, is a proof that the dialogue/lore/character building are lacking the subtlety to make such characters actual peoples and not representant of an idea that the dev wanted in his game.

Hazelnut Latte is a niche on this site in so many ways. Not only does it have some rare casting, being almost exclusively femboys and transgender women, but so much of it has this cutesy, feel-good tone to it that made me want to keep reading. It's a fun mix of sappy and sexy.

The art has a homegrown feeling to it, but it doesn't come across as amateurish. Scenes are animated and accompanied by sex sounds. The gameplay is initially kinetic, but then transitions into a sandbox once you meet most of the cast and reach the objective of the game.--Some people apparently disliked this, but I personally enjoyed when the game opened up to allow me more agency over the story.

One thing I'd almost ding this game on is that it feels incomplete in places. I'm not referring to how the game is in development still. Rather, some of the characters and plots in this game seem to come out of nowhere. It almost feels like the game was originally going to be much shorter, and then expanded suddenly with a bigger cast and a more complex story. But if that is what happened, that's cool with me, because I'm really enjoying the story.

This game really went downhill.

It feels like whenever a visual novel shifts to a sandbox format, actual development stalls, and creators start drip-feeding content to stretch Patreon support.

The visual novel part of this game is great but short. I think it's worth playing through once but isn't a game worth following at this point.

[v0.12.4 Patreon]
i think this is good game but im did not enjoyed the game at all

art 3/5
story 3/5
character design 3/5
characters 4/5
sex scenes 3/5
vibe 1/5

overall 2.8/5

i like the frist part or ep but it wasnt good it got better in other part but still did not liked

i think best part about this game is the art but some times it get bad

story is not bad but nothing special

im not about character design but i think is based on real ppl they look like i seen em before

personality of character are good not weird and random

sex scenes are okay but the animation is so lazy

i did not vibe with game i force myself to finish it only maybe get better and it not get better

Man, I loved this game, Dave, he was my favorite character and I was hoping he would come back in the future. I don't like NTR or sharing, I always look for lighter VN games. I found your game amazing, good story and character too, but after seeing that the game I love so much simply turns my favorite character into a fat old man's dick sucker, I cried and thought, why did he need this? Someone asked for this, people were interested in this character and could leave him out. There's no need for this scene to show how happy they are. What a disappointment.

This game was great prior to this last update, a game with some cool LI's and some other characters to fool around in a VN mode... Just to turn out in to a grind fest game. Really fucked up from following the story to click around just to unlock some dialogues at best.

An amazing entry. Story hits the right note with the awkwardness and nervousness you feel when you start dating someone and the plot is hits the right strings with you trying to help out a community of people .

Also the h scenes are made with love.

Whenever I can say I'm here for the story and the fapping, I leave a review! play the game if tis your flavor!

For a RenPy game the content comes pretty quickly and is easy to access. Looking forward to more. I also like the portrayal of different kinds of femboys. It's pretty short, but the writing is decent, and the scenes themselves are pretty good if you like femboys.

Great game, lots of potential.

10/10 artstyle
Excellent dialogue
Great characters
Decisions matter, and combined with the dialogue it makes a very interesting combo
Needs time to cook more content but, right now its worth a couple of good faps

The art is incredible and the characters are absolutely charming and lovable!! And now that the story and cast are opening up more and more, this game has flown up to one of my top games! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!

Wow, I'm searching for a game like this for a long time.
I love that the MC is a guy unlike most games involving this theme were the MC is a crossdresser.
This game has a wholesome vibe to it and has the right amount of naughtiness and cuteness, the NSFW scenes are extremely hot and cute at the same time which is a very good departure from pure rough sex ones.
I'm waiting eagerly for more time servicing Vera in future updates ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A charming VN with romance and erotica for every flavour of femboy! Most scenes are animated. The current content isn't that big nor small at the moment of this post, but really looking forward to its future development and continuation!

To be honest it is the best game about femboys I've ever played. Hazel is absolutely fire dude. His hands ,foot, hia ass, his dick looks mind-blowing. There're a lot of things i wanna mention but if i have to describe this game with one word it'd be adorable.

I played 0.11.2, the game is really good. It has a good mix of story and h scenes, the story is nice and wholesome with interesting characters throughout. It has lots of nice references to real life media like better call saul, evil dead, lotr, even a 1.5hr YouTube video about some creepy doom mod and it links to the video when they discuss it. The main love interest is super hot and the art is great, lots of other hot characters you can choose to get busy with. Will be following the progress of this, I'm excited for more to come.

Overall - 8.5/10
Highly recommend - decent story with very good characters
Wholesome femboy game

Small amount of characters in a good way - more character depth
Game is short - not completed
Sound 8/10

Good amount of choices
Solid Hscenes + good amount of them -> VN to Hscenes ratio is good

Insanely good game. Realistic characters and hot sences with femboys, trans mommy, and girls.

Bruh, this game surprisedme with how good the story is. I thought some very detailed interactions was a bit unrealistic, but it ended up being intentional, which is not mentioned a lot.

This game is amazing, the story is so much more amazing than than I thought in the beginning.

If I were to be extremely picky, the only thing is that sometimes characters would talk about trans-right or self identification one too many sentences, making it a tiny bit forced. However, it didn't bother me too much, and I am a conservative.

i normally dont like VNs. they're wordy, yet the writing isn't good. a lot of dialogue that is often senseless. characters as wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. in short, they feel like a waste.

i'm really glad i still tried out this game. the writing is great. it has heart, it is smart, it is witty, it has a charming, nerdy character that betrays how much fun the creator had. the characters are distinct, endearing, feel real - and they're sexy of course. the story itself so far is quite intriguing as well and i'm actually looking forward to seeing the plot move along. the art style is great, well executed and greatly animated. the tone is wholesome, but neither overly soft (quite mature in its wholesomeness actually) or flat.
tldr: 5/5, looking forward to more.

Excellent game, good art, good animation have a lot of potrntial for futur updates what can i say the sissy's are on point with big asses an plump thighs beautifull trans maybe the one thing that i miss is that game can be a cool sanbox with more gameplay mechanics but overall it's pretty noice

First game that was good enough that I felt compelled to write a review. There's a good amount of H-scenes in the game as of writing but this game offers so much more. The characters are great and compelling with their own very real issues and reasons to care about them. The music always fitting for the scenes happening. I am overall excited to see where this story goes next as I am absolutely hooked!

Lovely art and great characters. A good futa/trans game that got better when the big dick lady got added and scenes with her were implemented. Hope it will get more updates and that more people notice the game.
