VN - Ren'Py - Her Heart's Desire - Harem Ever After: Remake [v1.6 Beta] [Big Chungus Productions]

The music is a dissonant, nonsensical ensemble of different genres spanning a century.

The writing style is so contrived, it fits so poorly to a story this simplistic, it feels like I'm reading the script of an episode of some inane puppet show for children, as if it were written by a horny Chaucer. With words like ardor and unscrutable that's not even a stretch, those are archaic words straight lifted from middle-english poetry. Then you keep repeating them instead of using synonyms as if you were proud to have discovered this strange exotic word, so you take every opportunity to use it, which would explain your reluctance to use normal words like 'excitement' or 'indecipherable' instead...

Then we get to the visuals... There is enough attention to detail that the characters blink and breathe... but then have clothes clip, have the main character stand right in front of a reflective surface without having the character model in the scene, so he's just a ghost, don't have the table set when the dialogue says it's set, and don't have the toilet lid up when someone's puking their guts out hunched over it. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I think wildly inconsistent scene staging ranging from low-effort to exceptional effort is worse than consistently average staging.

All in all this entire thing is so all over the place, elements deserving 1 star and elements deserving 5 stars just average out to 2.5, so I'm giving it a 3, because unlike other games that try to pretend they're more sophisticated than they are actually able to appear, this one is able, it just completely lacks consistency.

I hated this game...but for a very specific reason that may not apply to you, reading this.

The issue at hand: I write professionally as a novelist. Therefore, as I read the premise of this game, I was very excited to give it a shot. However, the grammar and word choice used by the Dev was so poor that it totally ripped me out of any sense of immersion I might have enjoyed. After about a half-hour of excruciatingly painful gameplay, I literally couldn’t take it anymore.

If that’s not a problem for you, you may really enjoy the game. The renders and sex scenes aren’t bad at all (though the plot is flimsier than dollar store toilet paper).

If you’re like me, however...this one isn’t for you.

The plot of this VN is pretty much in line with a cheesy 80's porno, which is really just saying - the plot is just there for filler to facilitate sex scenes.
The story and characters are about as deep as a kids coloring book.

Here is the thing with the games and VN's on F95 - sometimes you really want to get immersed in the characters and the story, other times you can be entertained with a MC that just goes around screwing everyone he sees.
This VN is the latter.

So whether you enjoy playing this VN really comes down to managing your expectations - if you play this expecting it to be some epic love story, then you will probably think it sucks and be disappointed. If you go into it with a light hearted mindset and don't try to overanalyze the plausibility of the plot, then it can be enjoyable.

I definitely wouldn't say I loved this VN, but i also didn't hate it.

Again just think - cheesy 80's porno. Even though the story didn't make sense and the acting was horrible, you still like watching them because you wanted to see a lot of hot women getting railed on. This VN has hot looking models getting railed on.

A very interesting game with good renders and great characters.

The author's attitude to the creation of the game and the constant desire to improve various aspects of it is very captivating.

The only drawback, for myself personally, is the lack of purpose for the MC in the plot, some kind of intrigue, and so on.
It's too early to judge, as these are only the first updates.

But now, the character does not need to fight and seduce girls, he has no problems, he does not strive for anything.
He just sits in the back seat of the car and enjoys the ride.

Although, perhaps for many, this will seem positive, since judging by the first updates, the trip promises to be very hot.

Really nice game.I liked the animations and models, I hope dev will continue down this path. There seems to be a lot of content for the early stage of the game so good work dev.
edit: got worse, sex scenes are boring plus story isnt that good too.

A paint-by-numbers totally-not-incest-honest-mr-patreon game.

You're living on your own wondering how to pay the mortgage on a house with too many bedrooms when out of the blue your totally-not-daughter turns up out of nowhere to rent a room, and immediately turns out to be a cock-starved slut desperate to jump you.

The next day her two absolutely-not-sisters show up to rent your other rooms, and guess what, they're cock-starved sluts desperate to jump you too.

Hijinks ensue.

The only potential amusement comes from refusing to reconfigure the character relationships from the defaults, so you get the main character agonising over whether it's right to want to fuck this legal adult who desperately wants him to fuck her, because she's his... house-guest?

Anyway, the writing is at least not painful, the plotting is "I am here to clean the pool" levels of porn, the girls' faces and posing regularly fall into the uncanny valley, and the animations look like someone banging together dolls that don't bend in all the right places.

It was OK for a laugh and a quick fap, but I can't really see myself downloading the next update.

This game looked kinda "meh" to me, based on the OP. But having played it, the dialogue , story, renders and lewds, turned out WAY better than expected. Dev delivers, and quickly.

I highly recommend a play through.

The game is just starting but I like the perspective of you being a landlord taking care of your house guests. This seems really promissing, hope this evolves into a great game. The models could be better and there's the lack of animations but i think that is coming in next updates
