VN - Ren'Py - Healslut [v0.99b] [Davie Zwei]

Planki/lel path was lovely. BUT it should have "no sexual content" tag, like 1 scene/10k words or something.

Built in walkthrough is just bad, and this game is needs a GOOD walkthrough for all the paths.

Gave up after ~10hours of pain and just played it as "skip unseen text simulator" to try and trigger the content.

Healslut 0.99b

I am not a fan of such fetishes as futa, bimbo, etc. but I really liked the character Lel, the path of the marauder and everything connected with it + the atmosphere of the group's adventures in the raid on the dungeon (Roles in the group, relationships, etc.)

BUT... But unfortunately this only applies to the first half of the game before boarding the ship, after boarding the ship the game quickly goes to the final and nothing remains from the atmosphere of the first half, which I REALLY liked

I understand that the game is primarily about virtual immersion and the plot associated with this world, but the first half of the game with a group adventure for me turned out to be much better than the second half, in addition, it feels like there should be at least 3-4 more chapters before boarding the ship (my personal opinion) because everything is moving too quickly to the final

Liked

+ The music and sounds are memorable

+ Characters - although I didn't like all of them, fortunately some of them definitely stuck in my soul like Lel or Panki

+ The Marauder's Path - There is very little of it, but it is there and it is done well.

The game is still in development and the ending is currently being finalized, but I hope that after the ending is finished, Davie Zwei will go back to the best part of the game and expand the first half, or at least release a DLC about Lel or something like that later.

Flat out boring and fails to meet the 'Healslut' title.

No lewd animations. Sex scenes are sparse and really boring. At best, lewd interactions and nudity, but it just goes nowhere.

The story is boring and also goes nowhere, with random distractions here and there. Too much exposition.

Hmm, an interesting and unique game with plenty of weaknesses.

Healslut is basically a lighthearted story with lots of side stories. The side stories are used so often that they slow the main story down to a crawl! It's a slow burn game that is light on H content.

There's lots of nudity in the game but very little sex, most of which is handjobs and blowjobs. The game is heavily story focused with sex being a small afterthought. No sex animations and the sex events that are there are short and mostly disappointing.

The game doesn't deliver on the "heal" or the "slut" parts as neither take place very frequently. Sparkle is basically led around throughout the story (as if she was on a leash), contributing very little to her adventuring party. If she was just there as a fuck doll and plaything (slut) I could live with that, but that isn't what happens. I just feel like I'm watching a movie and am not an active participant in the story or what is going on around me.

On the plus side, the game has good humor and is fairly unique. The writing is good although long winded. The game is several years old and I wish the author listened more to player feedback as opposed to pushing more of the same with the game losing focus during the second half.

Conclusion

If you're here for a lighthearted and somewhat fun humorous story (slow burn that gets sidetracked frequently) then I can recommend it. If you're here to fap or for the adult content then you'll be very disappointed (lots of nudity, very little sex).

Lots of re-playability, good flow to the story, great renders, updates frequently, and it flows well as a game/feels like you can go down more than one route pretty easily. Honestly it covers a lot of this directly that other games miss.

When I started playing this, I simply fell out of my life for a couple of days. It's been a long time since a game has been this addictive. The idea of a game world that takes on a life of its own, ceasing to be a game, is really good. The plot, in some places, is really deep, but is gently diluted with unobtrusive humor and comical situations. I especially liked the fact that the main character has, in a way, his own route (more precisely, several routes), which does not have a critical impact on the main plot (does not distort the final goal), but seems to run in parallel, touching in some places. (I can’t stand stories where the peculiarities of the hero’s personal life turn, for example, a heroic campaign against evil into a trip to the nearest brothel or drug den as the final goal of the story.)
Although the sex scenes do not have animations, they are written very colorfully and juicily. Plus, they don't appear at every turn. Each of these scenes has a logic that fits well with the world around us and the situations taking place.
The characters are really interesting and logical. They, like real people, are in no hurry to dump all the details of their lives on the MC. To really reveal any character, the MC needs to work hard to earn his trust and friendship. It is impossible to do everything at once with all of them in one playthrough. Another plus for replay value.
Overall, there is only one bad thing about this game for me. It has an end. )) Well, I'll wait for updates...

It could use much more heal and slut. I would prefer significantly less side story as well, but overall a good game. In general, it is getting better over time as well. The updates are a bit slow as well. I used to like it enough to support the author though.

Story 1/5
I really found this game boring as hell, a shitload of choices and dialogs but no action and when you finaly see a sex scenes its nothing, no animations even though it has animated tag so if you expect animated sex scenes just forget this one.

Also the male protag is pretty much a lie since you just play a male nerd which you rarely ever see since its all about playing an online game where MC plays as a female? which can be turned into a futa but fuck that shit.

Playing a game where all the content takes place inside an online game never did anything for me it just kills it since nothing feels real knowing that so what ever happens in the online game dosent matter since its just a game, its like playing a AVN where theres only content when MC is sleeping and dreaming it just feels absolutly pointless.

And this being an adult game and fails as much as this does i just cant understand how it has been rated so highly, it just makes no sense to me when theres just 0 adult content worth anything, not even a single animation and scenes are just boring and bad.

Cant rename the MC either but it dosent really matter since hes not really part of the game.

Girls 3/5
There are good looking and bad looking girls, ok diversity but still feel the quality lacks overall

Animations 0/5
Not a single animated sex scene in my playthrough which seems to be the norm for other players as well.

Music 2/5
Dident really do much for me

Choices 2/5
Its just to many and impossible without having to read hint/guide thing that you can turn on, if you dont you will have no chance of knowing what goes on, should have spend time on animations instend of a million choices.

This game has absolutely no gameplay. A piece of history is presented that leads the narrative to the weak side of the plot. The advantage of the game is the possibility of transformation MC. The interaction with other characters is poorly developed...

2/5 but honestly I liked it less than that, more of a 1 or 1.5 but went with a full 2 stars cuz there is quite a bit of effort put into this imo
v0.88
I have not played the entirety of this, haven't seen every path, choice, and scene But I did make it to an ending which is enough for me. Only notes/thoughts while playing were that It felt like a lot was happening but the story wasnt getting anywhere! Sometimes I dont mind a good reading, especially when it's fairly easy to follow along as it was here (spelling, grammar, structure wise) but this one tested me. Other Noted thing was I cant really think of Anything that was Animated, non of the h-scenes I encountered were at least. Maybe a spell effect at some point had an animation but I cant remember even though I have just been playing.

+Interesting setting
+Interesting story premise
+Attractive characters (ones meant to be so)
+Cant think of any issues with spelling or grammar

-Where's the animation?
-Story Pacing, it some how felt like a fast paced high intensity Slow Burn story. Struggling to describe it... I think a lot happened but I really dont know how much actually mattered
-Absolute shit-sack of an MC, Like seems to have there own deal going on but not an entertaining person to have to hear about, let alone fucking "play" as

I know I've only got a few negatives listed so 2 stars might seem rough, but I just couldn't get into this. Several times while playing I felt like I was so close to really vibing with what was going on but then either new BS would happen or there was just no actual "hook" to catch my interest.
2/5! 1 star for how much I enjoyed it and 1 star for the amount of effort I feel like has been put into this project, I can appreciate that

It's a good premise but not great execution. There's only 15 H scenes in the gallery and they're not very long or detailed. The story is very long and you might encounter an H scene maybe once every half hour if you're reading everything. This isn't a game that you can get off to.

The MC is also extremely unlikable. They are just an absolute toxic piece of shit. Just a whiny, argumentative, garbage human being. The most unrealistic thing is any of the other characters tolerating her/him for even a second.

I started skipping through the copious amounts of dialogues and just relying on the in game prompts to make decisions. Which eventually took me to a "milkslut" bit which sounded good but without any warning shaved my characters head into some ugly looking dike bitch, making me lose the last reason to keep playing.

All I'm gonna say is the game really jumped the shark just before getting off the boat. That flashback sequence for the tiny black girl near the end of the boat-ride was the start of it (pure cheesiness. Had to keep eyes from rolling out of sockets). And it didn't get much better from there.

This Dev is clearly good at comedy & at light-hearted + kinky story-lines. But he's working beyond his means trying to create something deeper. The game has been a convoluted drag ever since. It's all over the place, flailing. When really it just needed clear focus on where it was going next. Very bad second act. It just drags now, with one detour after another that have all grown tiring. Truly a shame, since this was a fun & funny story at one point in time.

Got baited by people prasing the"free-use" aspect.
only few scenes(less than 10) of free-use is in the game and in those scene isn't exactly freee-use. The premise is that you're "free to use" as in anybody can fuck you akin more to sex-slave. Those two are somewhat intersect but what seperate free-use from sex-slave is that you still have your own agency living your life while getting pounded as if it's nothing or bothered by it. This game got thepremise for free-use right but failed in it's execution.

give me some credit here. I replayed the game multiple times trying every possible path. 20+ hours of playtime and I want so much more. at 0.85q I fear its nearing the end but holy shit its such a damn good read

Lootpup is possibly some of the best content ive had in a long time but I want it to be more feature rich i.e. less talking back to the group and more gagged gameplay.

bimbo gameplay needs to stay consistent. it seems that after a point after introduction of mind alterations the player character reverts back to their normal selves until someone points out they need to behave or be dumb.

I love being talked down to like my opinion means nothing <3

A large portion of the content in this game is Kayden being an abusive piece of crap to literally everyone who wants to work with him, and when he's not doing that, to the main character, and when we finally even got a check that let us stand up to the fact that he's a stupid prick that doesn't even really deserve to be alive let alone the leader

He immediately goes back to insulting you minutes later, then we're forced to live out his stupid AI backstory that contradicts the one that was less than 5 minutes of actual content ago and if you continue to stand up to him he just kills you for not going back to status quo

Everything after landing the boat was already testing my patience story wise and right when things started looking up it just got worse

This game is absolutely fantastic, especially in the under-represented free-use genre. (It has more genres then that, but that's the one that is least-common). The art is incredible, the story is actually fun to read through, choices feel impactful, characters are unique, and - most importantly - the sex scenes get really hot. Love it! More!

While the game is presented correctly as an on-rails VN, the play is distinctive enough to qualify as gameplay. There's a good level of design put into this, as well as just quality writing. It's the sheer quantity, its breadth & depth but also flow which set this game apart. A lot of games on this site really show their modular/batch-update development cycles, but Healslut has been so well developed that all content generally flows quite well into the wider game seamlessly-ish.

Art is great, too. Costume design in this game is phenomenal, and I can't wait to see what dev has planned going forwards. Would love to see more of NPCs commenting on what MC wears, and maybe sometimes having repercussions or some scene varieties. The game already does this a lot by the way, which makes replays still feel valuably different from previous play. A game that manages to keep itself fresh automatically is a gift indeed.

I hate my son, but I love this game. Can't wait to see what's coming next, both in continuation of the story as well as fleshing out of existing content. It's a definite play if any of the tags interest you, and again since the branches are so well interwoven you can generally avoid whatever you want to. They even let you abandon the only two twinks in the entire world, if you want. Now that's freedom.

11/10, would let Sparkle be gaslit by the entire group again.

surprised how much fun this VN is. lil goblin dude is the best!

a good gender bender VN that has a Sword Art Online feel to it (characters getting stuck in a game).

Looking forward to more updates!

the game is super fun never have i played a game from the start after my first run/stopping point. i love how options actually matter and come effect you later on in the game. it has so much content and i have so much hope for it cant wait for it to get more updates^^ keep at it!!❤

I wanted to like it but I just couldn´t.


I really liked the concept of the game and I also like that you can chose between a boy or girl nerd. But everything else is just kinda boring and feels outdated.
I hate that the character are just sprites in a background that works in japanes VN´s but not when the character look realistic , here it just looks cheap. The sex scenes had some good idead but they were really boring.
The story you play, all the character and dialogue are also uninteresting.



I just found everything underwhelming I can´t recommend it.
