VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Helping the Hotties [v1.04.10.6] [xRed Games]

0.6
Bonerific. I genuinely applaud the devs on being able to get the "lone MC surrounded by hot babes" setting without the omnipresent high school/college scenario. They also concocted a way to introduce sister & mother incest via a patch (not sure if it exists though) without resorting to "roommate" and "land lady" tropes.
The MC being in a position of authority over the girls provide enough inappropriateness to satisfy the average F95 weirdo.
Girls are hot, though fairly standard Daz gallery
Art is hot
Dialogue good
Game's name change was a good choice, though I would've have gone with "Slut Camp"
As a guy looking to get his rocks off, maybe have a chuckle, maybe pause for a moment out of tenderness, but NOT expecting this to be a life changing event, it works great. Keep up the good work.
Edit: I should note I played compressed because 9 GB is too large, and always play any adult game with sound turned off so I can't comment on that.

So, this dev team it appears are responsible for a few works on this site. They have a distinctive look and feel, and if you like the look (and I do, for the most part) then you will enjoy this.
It's a VN with some choices, but most of the time you're running around from place to place in a little sandbox. There is a guide to help you along, and I appreciate that.
We're not supposed to compare with other works when we write reviews, but it is interesting to consider that this is - I believe - the latest by this dev team, and if so, it implies that they've applied what they've learned so far.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I don't think they learned the right things.

Now, this is a porn game...
So let's talk about plot.
It's... kinda broken. You got these beautiful girls who dress like they're going clubbing in one of the more liberal Eastern European capitals, and they are supposed to be at-risk youth, undergoing a kind of rehabilitation retreat. Seriously, you have to suspend disbelief so hard you're at risk of auto-asphyxiation.
And I don't get why sticking round pegs into such a square hole was necessary. Why not make then wanna-be models, doing the pre-screening for some kind of survival TV show? That explains why the camp is so glam, why they look sooo fabulous, and you still get to keep the pseudo-psychology. It's just, so weirdly forced, this way.
Btw, speaking of pseudo, there are two psychologists, and, guess what, they act kinda sus, like they might be - gasp - crazy. Wow, whatta twist.

The story is so artificial. Is this what an erotic VN generated by AI will be like? Is that what this is, a trial run of the ERO-PRN 3000? There's all sorts of forced weirdness and cliches, the totally unreasonable father-figure, the closet-kinky milf, two gorgeous daughters, and all the contrivances of the four inmates. And the MC prowls around, spying, muttering to himself like someone living at a bus station, tripping over his erection...

Plus, there's narration, which is the worst. Seriously. Don't do it. You got loads of your typical nonsense like an image of the MC looking at the door, and the narrator says, "you turn to the door." Thanks, Einstein.

Going from the ridiculous, the artwork is sublime, I think. But all the Daz-tropes are here in full force. The incredibly hot girl who wonders, "am I hot?' The perfectly proportioned model who gets called "fatty." The exquisite older woman who envies the younger women. I'm not arguing for verisimilitude - I want my VN women to be gorgeous, but still, you could at least make a gesture to differentiate them a little. There are eight beautiful women in this story, and I have a hard time telling them apart.

So after dumping all over this I give 3 stars, because the women are beautifully rendered. I guess that's my bias.

Welp, that was a letdown.\

You take a normal looking MC give him a horse dick, which he's almost never used through whole game (f vouyer) and create a family that treats him like a little bitch baby, and a narrator that doesn't know when to shut the hell up and you'll get this instant classic. The only redeeming feature about this game is its models, that's it. Writing is bland, and interisting premise was ruined instantly.

linear plot
another harem story (VN) vs sandbox tag
it's not sandbox - it is point and click visual novel
good graphics, bad content, simple plot
there are no choices - you have to follow author's kinetic story.

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
