Ren'Py - Abandoned - Hidden Games [v0.018E Test] [VNorth]

Great game, everything is go the quality and the body type of the characters..Why did you abandon this game .Carry on with what you are doing and make more games like this and don't forget to update this current game ..Will be waiting...

Ver: v0.018E

A game striving towards brilliance but trips on itself.

I'd say at its current build its a medium paced game which has a similarities to the Big Brother genre type game.
Doesn't jump straight to sex scenes but gives you a few dream sequences so you don't feel left out.
It starts out as you a pervert housemate (brother) who's objective is to spy/corrupt/trick housemates to seeing the goods.
There's alot to love about the game in terms of scenes, models and humorous writing, but just as much to hate in terms of grind, difficulty to progress and a terrible quest hint system.

Before i reached the halfway mark for the content, i had almost quit/uninstalled game three times thinking i probably finished. Thankfully some help was found in the thread from other people.

++Pros
+Great Character Models
+Whitty writing (for a translated game)
+Great teasing/corruption pacing
+Easy to forward time

--Cons
-Feels slow paced/grindy when not knowing what to do
-Defaults in Russian, even after changing to English you still need use phone to change names of girls
-Getting to the next story content is crazy hard to follow
-Menu's look very cheap
-Quest hints on phone, don't really help and even make it more confusing at times

TL;DR - Very promising and fun if you like the voyeur/corrupt fam genre; but needs alot of love specially when it comes to quest / quest help.

Definitely recommended, but you will probably have to navigate through the discussion thread to go forward in game at some parts.

Good game ! Who does not understand this game - pass by, bye, bye!
This game has a very subtle humor. I like ))
My favorite is Laura. This is from the time of the Second Happiness))). I'm waiting - I can't wait when I can go with Laura to active actions))))

Game is slow and the English is bad. The phone mechanics were troublesome to click on anything. The only good thing about the game are the graphics. Get someone to rewrite the script and smooth out the mechanics of the game, then this could be a good game.

Reviewing version 0.17:

Cute girls, but that's about it. The MC in the story is afraid of his own shadow. The dev reinvented the wheel on the user interface for the sandbox and succeeded in making a wheel more like a box. There just isn't anything in the game that really stands out as being great. On the downside, there's grind stupidity, unhelpful hints, bad translations, and minimal content. If there was a lot of content, then maybe I'd be enthused about playing it more but as it is, the game is just boring. Unless you're looking for a sleep-aide, the game won't be worth playing for AT LEAST another year based on the current development pace.

Would be a 2 min gameplay without sandbox.. Click here than here than this that that again here aah here it is.. a render.. rinse and repeat.. Also models are like paper dolls. Too generic, depthless, lifeless dolls. It was not enjoyable at all. Sandbox games are only fun when it has tons of quests in it. Hope something comes out of this one, but it has really nothing special. 2 stars is max I could rate this one.

great game. good graphics. great evolution on the last game. fun mechanics. looking fwd to next update. dev stays active. how many more characters do I need. game deserves more than 3 stars. 5 stars for me

Version: v0.016c

Review:
It could have been a good start, something that showed the game would be promising. But it wasn't, from my point of view. I like to play sandbox games as long as it has content, but at other times, there are sandbox games that make gameplay boring, as is the case with this game. I know it's in the first version, under development, but something needs to be changed.

Gameplay:
The game has several places and rooms for you to check, but for the most part there aren't many interactions to do. So, all that happens are characters in certain places so that you can activate a certain event and thus trigger dialogue and progression. I have to say, the gameplay at the moment isn't satisfying or comfortable, it's just another grind like any other. Spend the hours, see if there are any girls in a room to interact with, make the progression and go back to sleep. There is nothing new or interesting. Nothing that might show anything of interest to the player, but of course the game is still in development and things can change and improve I hope. Anyway, the gameplay is still empty because of the few characters, of course for a sandbox game to have a lot of characters is bad, but there are two other characters that could be included in the game frequently. I hope it happens in the future, but it's better to leave things as they are.
Graphics & Sexual Content:
The graphics and renders are decent, the animations although there are no animations yet in sex scenes, they seem to be reasonable, something I can congratulate is that there are small animations of models in scenarios, like for example, the wind hitting the girl's dress and the fabric moving, I think that these types of minimal animations are lacking in games to make them more attractive. There's not a lot of sexual content in the game, so I don't have what to say.

Why I did gave 1 star?
Don't get me wrong, I was wrong to write a review in advance, but there are games that already show their proposals to the player. This game looks like any other game you already have on the market, what you will need is some improvements, some story that appeals to the player and a gameplay that is comfortable and easy. There are many people running away from sandbox content, because of having to grind and this is true. So I'm just tweaking this, I messed up by writing a nut review, but even if the game has a beginning, I didn't like it, I felt like it looked like the same game out there, with nothing new or interesting. What I have to say is that the game needs to improve, have a focus on the story, have characters with personalities, know how to calculate well the distance of how everything will be projected. Because in the game everything is very generic for me, the MC sleeps on a couch in the living room, in the mornings the girls go to this couch to relax, you have to keep grinding to make progress in events, you are wasting your time on something that will be a waste of time. Then, the interest starts to lose itself little by little. I wish you luck and keep believing. The girls' renders are good it just needs to improve the gameplay.

I really liked the opening sequence but then the sandbox feature kicked in. If the Dev should ever come up with a 'story mode' option, I am on board. As it is now, I couldn't bring myself to keep playing. It just felt too annoying for me.

This is a review of v.0.014.

The good:

This is an slow buildup game where a shy MC gets progressively more daring. It is similar to his previous game Second Happiness which I enjoyed a lot. And this one has better graphics.

The bad:

They game can be a bit confusing as it is not really handholding people through the progression.

Conclusion:

I am giving it a 5 because this is just the kind of game I like.

+ Real physics of bodies (i'm sculptor, big thanks dev)
+Ladies do not act like idiots from porn films, but like real women
+personality of character and behaviour
+hot models
+easy puzzle (iq 30 +
+humor
- not much cUntEnt

I like the good things this dev does, but i hate the bad things this dev does.

And this dev does a lot of stuf that does not affect the plot, only the "reward level" or "lewd tier", one of those things, in this aprticular game is what i hate the most, the dreams.

And for this demo, there are 2 dreams as rewards for completing the first quests. DREAMS, FUCKING DREAMS.

So this MC is scared of women, nice formula btw, a plot device to prevent you from advacing, very clever, but the arc for that, compared to others like regular character development, and drugs, or superpowers and mind control games, is exactly the same "reward tier" done by the book.

I mean there are sommany types of woen with different visions in the matters of sex, and most games keep making all the girls do the same things in the same sequenced order.

The base is solid. Decent looking girls, a sandbox type with no many places to visit, so its less demanding, so far, way better translation than previous game, now text is readable, i mean look good from the outside.
BUT DREAMS? there is stripchat and chaturbate to watch random scenes without plot and is equaly free, no need to read.

Again, another game that maybe will improve in a 3 year period, hoping doesnt become inception, a dream inside a dream that maybe its not a dream.
11 Months afet the release and:
The MC is stil literally a 10 year old. Or the betest Beta in the world that everybody makes fun of. Still no light at the end of the tunnel, still afraid of "sex" which is the worst formula for a porn game, a Mc rejecting what the player wants.

I dont think im wrong when i say this might be the worst sandbox ever. Gameplay is boring and MC rejects even looking at girls. Plot is as if didint exist, so there is no reason to play this one.
a 0 stars. I SAD ZERO.

I'll give this one a 3 1/2 stars.

Game is a family life "comedy" with MC as son. The context is a standard household of females with son and physically abscent father. MC is kinda timid and the player is privy to his thoughts. Narrative style is Russian with alot of individual character idiosyncracies. Girls are hot.

The prologue is kinetic novel style and thereafter the game becomes a sandbox. The latter sounds crap but the dev gives the MC readable thoughts which guide the player to the next event. At this point version 0.1 doesn't have any next events yet.

The prologue was kinda amusing. Won't be everyone's taste. Situational comedy of an kid stuck in a family with well defined dynamics between the members. No sex yet. That may take awhile since MC hasn't got much of a clue. And none of the females except one show any directed sexuality. But, the models are hot and I hope there may be sudden breakthroughs with MC's otherwise oblivious siblings.
