VN Ren'Py Healslut [v0.99f3] [Davie Zwei]

[sam1545654]

Great game.. but right now the game seems to be spreading away in way too many directions. I have no doubts about the dev's (Davie Zwei) talents at this point, but they're going to hit a major wall if they don't control the branching options. There are well written books on branching game narratives (Writing IF in Twine by Melissa Ford is one of my favorites). At some point they have to make a decision about what kind of fetishes their core audience has and fully develop the game in that direction before coming back to hit the other boxes. That way, there will be a highly satisfied core audience and then the success should draw others in as well as you hit more varied fetishes/storylines/body types/visuals. I hope this comment is taken in the right spirit, or not (they don't owe me anything). In any case I'll be looking forward to more of this shit.

I kinda get the "to may directions" vibe to. It's getting kinda hard to keep track. Awesome game though. By far one of my all time favorites. The writing is Excellent. Art is beautifull. But i can see it kinda going off the rails if there are to many branching paths. However, i am in this case willing to suffer that cause the game is so damn awesome.

BTW..... is anyone else finding it impossible to kick Wejit to the curb. I keep intending to try that route out.... but when it comes down to it, I just cant do it.... I mean its WEJIT for gods sake.

Oh and Davie Zwei
This for you



You earned it.

Is there a guide to get each direction/ending? Its hard to tell what decisions will impact the store you follow

How does one find the pregnancy path exactly?

There's some other conditional to that as well. I know you have to be female (in game), i also think you can't have roopah making choices for you. I'd have to check scripts to know for certain all the conditions.

Edit: So the other condition is not having Roopah creampie you in the inn during the 2nd night.

I started a new game and... wow, i've found a lot of new things! New small scenes, new renders... It's so cool!

It still worked for me even with Roopah decisions and futa Sparkle (which might be a bug, it just turned her back into the female model without explanation).

Small walktrough for the murder investigation. Warning - read it only if you dont mind spoilers or if you have problem finding the endings.

So far the consequences (game endings included ) from the murder investigation i found are:

That's almost certainly a bug just by reading the code. If you're not female it's supposed to tell you to find another and you get the fisher lady (im drawing a blank on the name). This is also the same sequence (different dialogue) that happens when you've let Roopah wreck you on the night you get to start a relationship.

What are these endings? The game isn't complete yet, what are you talking about?

What are these endings? The game isn't complete yet, what are you talking about?

Take the blame for the murder and you get an ending (when the game says end of beta, keep hitting space/enter/left click) and you get one of two ending, dependent on whether you let Jane stay the night or not.

Don't take the blame and the game continues until the end of available content for those routes.

Yes the game isnt complete -these are just early endings.

 

[Hmm...]

I got to agree with this, Healslut is a kink where the sub only thinks about healing one person in a fight, while taking degradation and abuse, then having sex with the dom afterwards/during.

You must be registered to see the links

I think that story summarizes it.

See, the thing is that it works better as a kink. Let me try to explain what I mean. As other people have pointed out, the MC can be rather abrasive. This is treated as the default personality, so we get that regardless of what choices we the player make. Constantly being berated can have various different tones depending on the situation, how it is said, and the reactions to it. If someone insults someone else and they take offense, then it is just an insult. If someone insults someone else and the other responds in kind with a laugh, then that is two abrasive characters that get along with each other, likely as old friends that know each other's boundaries. If someone insults someone else and they get off on it, that is a sub getting their kink fulfilled.

Sparkle, in every path I've played at least, does not get off on being mistreated. We are not playing a masochist/sub nor do we have the option to act like one while not being a pack mule (just about the only path I haven't played). If Sparkle enjoyed the treatment, it would change the situation entirely, but as of now it just feels like a decent chunk of the group are a bunch of unlikable assholes without any real payoff for that detail (unless you choose to stick with the best girls Panki and Lel, in which case Panki stands up for you).

So these endings are dead ends for the player?

There's an entire statement in the original post about how the endings work. They're only dead ends in the sense that it ends the game, but it's not a dead end in the sense that it has a real resolution and reasoning why the beta test is over for you.

 

[lemonfreak]

So these endings are dead ends for the player?

What ending isn't, ultimately? But no, the one I saw, where Jane stayed over night, is very much a happy ending (I only watched the variation with Simon turning into a futa though, there should be 5 alternatives based on starting gender and the Wendy scene where you pick what you turn into)

I assume that if Jane doesn't stay over it's a sad end but haven't played it.

 

[Grinch008]

Can how offer Wejit relief after the investigation

This gets interrupted by Lel.

 

[Sangan]

If weijit doesn't get a love path by the end of this i'm going to make a dozen accounts just to give this game 1 star.

Really happy to see some Kayden hate. On one playthrough, he thanked me for my help with Leigh, then for doing the fish task well, then told me to wear a gag and accept punishments as a looter. Yes Sparkle asks a lot of questions but it seems like the more she tries to help the worse things get for her. Especially Lel, initially liked her so tried to help her as much as possible but now I have suspicions...
And damn straight, Wejit is MVP, I really want a Sparkle/Wejit/Harmony happy ever after ending.

But the MC being coerced into this is the entire point.
