Starting Version RedFalls-Ep6-pc

Feels like the only reason the girlfriend scene is even in the game was to satisfy the players need for a sex scene early on. The players conflict with "Paul" is immediately irritating and the fact that his father, who never breaks his promises, does not bother to explain why he did so, either on the phone or once MC arrives home is setting the "No one respects the MC as a human being worth consideration." that every other character follows, LI or not.

The twist basically makes it seem like the reason Dad wants his son home is because he cannot use his lovely daughters prancing around as a motivating force if he's got a camp full of women. No, he needs his son there to motivate these campers. A move just as creepy and unethical as it was when he was using his daughters in a similar fashion.

And typical of games where the MC is the one picked on by everyone in his family, he stumbles into sexual situations that just get thrown his way instead of having any agency.

What this game offers is 80% peeping related stuff, some touching here and there, an almost blowjob, and an MC raped blowjob, and 2 sex scenes, one in the tutorial and one in the end of CH5

I really thought this game had more for 1.5 GB, but apparently the X-ray fanservice eats up a lot of renders. I guess the non cannon patreon gallery also eats up renders and Filesize.

I wouldnt mind peeping if girls were real, but these 3d girls dont look good enough for peeping. This game is not even half baked.
This review reflects the state of the game, there is nothing to talk about really. Most of the characters have nothing, barely teasing or masturbating.
Navigation is slow, i dont know what to say, its pretty bad.

I would rate the renders, but, thats it, the scenes I watched are not even good, so the renders are just that, renders.

Excellent game! Very nice game graphics. The girls are all beautiful. The setting of the action is very good. You can empathize with the player very well. The story is very good. It is among the best games in this genre.

I'm excited to see how it goes and can't wait!

Soooo 5 episodes into this game and I can honestly say that what started as a promising candidate, devolved into a shit show.

First off, choosing sandbox was the devs first mistake I believe.
It is so annoying wandering around looking for the next trigger and pulls you out the story. "Go find an axe" or "Go get bucket"...really?
It would be better as a VN. What advantage does sandbox have? Yeah.

The MC starts off okay but then becomes a retarded little bitch boi.
His Stepfather Paul (or whatever he is) treats him like shit, even pinning him against a wall and MC takes it like a little bitch. Fuck that, K.O. him son!

Even the girls take the piss out of him and blueball him while getting into each other. All he moans about is his hot but psycho gf...

The only reason I give it 3 stars is the renders. The girls are stunning.
Emily, Naomi and the gf especially. Fuck Belle though, shs's a nympho skank. I had no interest in her whatsoever. I lost it with Stacy too when she admits she wants Belle. The dev just delights in cucking the MC.

The story plot is just nonexistent bollocks too.

What a shame as the renders are really nice for the most part.

The devs are just dragging this out and laughing at their blueballed bitch boi MC.

Yeah, no. Hard pass.

There isn't much to enjoy with this game. The only saving grace is that the models are pretty good

Out MC started out as an engaging character, with a troubled past, who managed to get a girl he loves. Good stuff

The trouble is, once the story starts, everything just kind of goes stale. The MC becomes unlikeable. Virtually none of the decisions he makes seem to matter, and he's incredibly robotic. You'd think after five episodes we'd see some character development, but so far we have nothing. MC grumbles but accepts Paul's ridiculous orders. The girls tease him but...not many real sex scenes, and I'd say of the few we see, the MC isn't even a part of them!

None of the other characters are particularly engaging, either, because despite some backstory on the girls, they're all just one-dimensional. The girls show up to tease MC. Paul shows up to humiliate him, rinse and repeat

I really wish the story would actually go SOMEWHERE, but unfortunately this is just TOO slowly-building for a fifth episode, and you're left wondering how many episodes between now and something noteworthy happening

I'll give it an extra star because it has nice renders, and the 2 sex scenes in the game so far are not terrible. But the game is a mess.
The Good
Renders are pretty nice, a fair variety of attractive women, and though its mostly teasing animations are pretty decent. That's about all it has to offer.
The Not So Good
Spineless Beta Cuck MC.
Guy is supposed to be a grown up well into college but acts like he is 10 and never saw boobies before. Also lets his step douche push him around like trash, even though he could probably whup his ass in a fight. Bows down to all the ladies like a good Sub, and gets 1 pity fuck, where there should be lots of banging of the babes by now.
Backstory Family/Staff relationships not defined.
You can name a few relations, but they don't flag or trigger any incest/family dialogue or events. Naming the MILF Mum does nothing but change her name, and even then, half the time MC calls her by her first name. Same with Sister, and none of the other staff/family can be named. Which would be OK if we had some default backstory in place but there is nothing. MC might as well be working with a bunch of social workers who treat him like crap. And he eats shit like a pro.
Interactions with camp girls are boring and predictable.
Not much else to say her. Have your default selection of crazy bitches, that MC pervs on and like to tease him. One is crazy enough to screw the Beta. Writing needs help, especially in the dialogue.
Other dudes bang the ladies.
Not sure if Mum/landlady is a potential love interest, as like most girls here, she just does a lot of teasing, but she acts like she will be. If she is, watching her bang the Step-douche is really shitty. Also seems the younger sister/roommate is, or will be also banging the step-douche at some point, and we know she want to jump the MC. If the focus of the game is not NTR, please just remove it.
With the technical skill shown this game, it still can be decent if the relationship tool gets fixed. We know this Dev can do it, it worked fine in Lewd Island. And maybe have the MC grow a pair and kick the step-douche in the daddy bags next time he gets froggy. Would be pretty good.
Also, for the love of God, put music and sexy sounds in the game. Music in the trailer tricked a lot of Steam players into thinking the game has a soundtrack, and it does not.

Great game.

- Beautiful female characters. Every character is believable with a distinct personality.

- The pacing is great, with an initial focus on character development rather than just a mindless torrent of sex scenes.

Not a ton of b/g content as of 0.4 but still a recommended play.

One of the best adult games that I have ever played. Nice graphics of characters, very pleasant gameplay. Emily the best girl - can't wait to see what happens next beetween her and MC. Game version Ep.5

Renders are good... But a lot of content is locked who aren't patreon... Too sad

I don't like the fact that the MC is a little wimp who is a cuck + coward of everything.... What is this story, a magical fantasy, if he confront his mom or what ever is is to him... She would beat the shit out of him....

I don't even know if Eve is his mom or he is adopted.... In Episode 5 I guess she gave an explanation that she and Paul i guess( or his stepdad) are experimenting or something, I didn't even played ep. 5 till now, I don't know if I m gonna play... I just saw a walkthrough on YouTube.... The story is so fcked up....

Well its just my opinion...

OR MAYBE I M NOT MATURED ENOUGH.... IF IT IS MY BAD

Good girls, good story, nice quality! The characters are lovable and memorable! There is no grinding to do and you don't have to run around on a map too much (just a small complex). Some may like that but for me, it takes too much time from what's important. All of that to say that I'm impressed! Can't wait to play the new episodes and I will buy it on Steam to encourage the devs!

Review for Version 4
Art: I really like the art. The renders are beautiful and subtly animated breathing life throughout. All of the models are attractive.

Story & Setting: This is a huge missed opportunity. The setting is perfect for a porn game. A secluded place with a lot of beautiful women. But everything appears to be linear and choices are implemented badly as they are designed to make you miss lewd scenes, not to let you go on specific character routes. Now it doesn't appear as there will be separate routes, just a bunch of horny girls who will do anything with anyone.

Characters: Decent not great, some of the girls are pretty good, but the mc is very annoying and we have too little control over him. This stand outs most in a scene where a girl literally asks the MC to put it in, yet he doesn't and we are not offered control.

Gameplay: Linear sandbox, I hope they will introduce multiple routes soon because as things are it is pointless. You can't even go spy on the girls unless it is part of the story. This type of sandbox begs for repeatable scenes but it has none. This would also be perfect to allow the choice between a love and more authoritarian route, but again missed opportunity.

So why 4 stars? More on it's potential I guess, since I really think this can still be turned into a good game if they add some stuff to earlier chapters and introduce different character routes. Also I'm looking forward to whatever happens once we're passed the blueballing.

Game version: Ep. 4

The preview pics of the game looked very good so I decided to give this one a chance.
Unfortunately, the game turned out to be very boring, both in terms of storytelling and lewd scenes/ content.
The ones I managed to see so far were VERY well animated and rendered, you can even watch some of them in different angles - top!

The really BAD things start by giving you blue balls most of the time by teasing you again and again without actually anything HAPPENING at all.

One of the reasons that nothing happens is because the MC is a giant CUCK and keeps acting passively all the time.


What annoyed me the most is the forced and completely redundant free roam. You can always just pick ONE route at a time, which means you can only choose a pre-defined path to get to your next objective.
It's straight up linear but tries to give you the illusion of freedom
I got bored very quickly and just kept hitting the "skip" button most of the time.

No recommendation from me for this game.

Renders are good (models are nothing new), but the MC is a limp-wristed puss-boy, one of the LI (the mom) almost immediately has her asshole turned into a windsock by some rando and to top it off the game is a sandbox.

Pros:
+ Good renders and decent looking girls

Meh:
The story itself isn't super engaging. It isn't bad by any means but I haven't really felt gripped or hooked reading through it. Maybe it's due to an unnecessary sandbox that doesn't contribute anything to a linear story.

Cons:
- I hate forced sex scenes and this game is full of them.
- missing facial expressions
- I hate playing as a spineless wimp ( MC )
- I hate all of those pointless choices in this game

Yeah, it's safe to say that I don't like this game at all.
One star for the visual but the rest of the game is below average in my eyes.

Sprain-inducing 20-hour long horrible intro without auto-skip or options, dear god what a pile of trash. Maybe there's a good game in there somewhere, if you survive the carpal-tunnel from getting to it, but I gave up long before then.

For as much as sexual stuff that we see in the content so far and for as much as we get blueballed from the endless of opportunities of smut content, there is a surprising amount of character development. Everyone comes from a very....unique...setting but through their own ways are able to mesh well enough and become friendly enough with each other.

The render quality goes without saying - it's outstanding and a very large part of the overall appeal of this game. Not a single character here looks poorly made or even the slightest bit off-putting. Animation fluidity is as smooth as you'd expect from the top tier games so kudos there

A very enjoyable game altogether

(ep. 3)

The renders are shining. They're quite perfect. The models are perfect (except the fire girl)

Not much of a story im afraid, but while playing, I didn't really care about the story of the game. Because you know, models are just perfect !

Animations are very good.

The woman that supposed to be our mother, is really a big slut. I didn't expect that really. You can even witness her affair with very good animation. You can leave her alone and go away without witness her 'hard' affair but you know that she'll do it. I knew this game has NTR but i didn't expect that much actually. As you can imagine, I hate NTR. I hope the dev will give us the chance to 'NTR: off' option, this way we can erase the whole NTR content for ourselves. I realized i complained a bit too much haha Don't hate me, I just want something very small )

The game is really good. I'm looking forward to the updates...

This game could be a perfect 5 stars if it wasnt for the pathetic mc who rejects beutiful girls for a girlfriend who never would find out if he cheats on her
And a girlfriend who gets mad at him if he's not awnsering her messages
Renders are perfect
Story is good Would have been perfect if only mc would stop using the "I got a girlfriend excuse "
Please dev for episode 4 add a option to break up with the girlfriend
The girls in the camp have a way better story then the girlfriend who just seems to only love sex and not mc

Oh there was another thing that i almost forgot The opening was annoying Not able to skip the thunder

Great game, great premise, great renders, great characters, great animations. Once the story professes a bit more and we get more content, this could be one of the better games. Could maybe use a better map tool to move around, but otherwise perfect. Looking forward to the upcoming updates!
