Ren'Py - Him [v0.2.1] [Kabuki]

Quite the enjoyable game imo. Definitely still in development but so far I am finding it quite enjoyable. The choices make sense and I come back to the game quite a bit. 9/10. Good too since theres many choices for each scene.

Honestly baffled by this one.

Ok so objective dude... be objective...

MC is a complete imbecile twatnugget.
Story is half arsed nonsense.
In a land lacking in men... dev has included a brothel and also focused on it... why the fuck would you do that? It makes no sense and also fuck me is that place gross, like any brothel would be. Pro offers to let you fuck the cum out of her left by the previous bloke as long as you can find him first... I neither understand, nor want to. Deleting that shit right away.
A shame because it has so much potential, wasted on the absolute worst MC I've ever encountered forcing you into playing as an overgrown toddler. So no sense of agency or choice that matters because, he's an arse. And the great characters like Maia are wasted.
It get's 2 stars because of Maia, the rest is awful and needs to be totally redone cos it's just nonsense.

This game is an unrepentant, unapologetic, unpretentious power fantasy. Which makes it great amongst so many VNs trying to make grand tales without the writing ability to match.

It's kind of a harem collector, but the story justifies it around a ridiculous world that makes it work or at least be somewhat plausible. You don't convince people with terribly written cringy romance attempts as you do in a standard isekai, everybody is just kind of crazy by themselves so it's hard to take it seriously. However improbable it is, it genuinely just works. It also helps that at least the starting cast leaves a great first impression, though the additional side characters have been quite disappointing in their writing. Just gotta see how it goes I guess, could be a fluke.

Renders and models are great but animations are your standard daz3d mediocrity. Honestly I'd give it a 5 had the animations just matched the render quality.

All in all, it's great as long as you don't expect a gripping story which this is not especially after the prologue (where the game loses a lot of steam very quickly). And you shouldn't be seeking this in amateur porn VNs anyway.

V0.2.1

why? just why?
4.5 stars rating when i tried this and i cannot fathom why. loading the game shows the word "gallary"!
on top of this, the feed already has some negatives regarding the cat lady, who is clearly moonlighting or just got caught up when they walked onto the wrong set looking for the newest disney flop.
regardless, the rating makes no sense.

it makes even less sense when you spend some time seeing how the sandbox plays out. some locations are there but locked, due to not yet developed, which begs the question as to why they are even there at all, and there is so little content that i was skipping days waiting for some armour.
there really was fuck all else to do.
any other feed with such crap sandbox usage would be getting single stars normally.

the writing is mediocre and there is zero hook early game apart from 'here is some bland sex scenes'. it may be an adult game, but if this site had a walk-in library to browse titles, this one would be in the young adult section.

empty sandbox and lack of early plot make this easily forgettable for me.
just has nothing different or intriguing about it.

VERSION: v0.2.1
SUMMARY: Nice looking game with much potential, that has its quirks but is mostly screwed over being sandbox.
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 4
2. Animations: 4
3. General Visuals: 4
4. Characters: 3
5. Story: 3
6. Writing: 4
7. UI & Gameplay: 3
8. Content (amount): 3
9. Sound & Music: 2
10. Fetish & kinks: 4

Average: 34 of 50 possible points giving a 70% rating i.e. 3-4 stars.

PROS:

1. Very nice looking models, female ones at least.
2. Nice animations and general physics are good albeit sometimes the loop is a bit short.
3. Overall renders and world details and quality is very good.
4. Writing is decent, reads well and is structured well.
5. Seems to have a few decent kinks so that's good.
6. Interactions during lewd scenes are rather good, so thats well done. Only thing that is potentially missing are more angles.
7. Plenty of kinks and fetishes which is NEVER anything to complain about!

CONS:

1. No opacity setting for the dialogue menu or ability to change font colour.
2. Lack of ambient and lewd scene sounds is a bit disappointing considering the quality of everything else. NOTE: I thought there was none but there are some ambient sounds, like the slaps, this is due to the low volume of said sounds. Still no lewd sounds
3. Another MC who seems to have lost all body hair during his "warp" "time jump" whatever...another baby boy MC...
4. Added to point above, the MC is not particularly good looking, if the prostitute's look is anything to go by, he is a downright unattractive little runt.
5. Another "con" and issue I have is kind of a hypocritical one, that is that everything happens too quickly. Read comments below.
6. Story is a more of the same as we have seen before, but added a lot more nonsense and unrealistic aspects to it. Practically all the woman are sex starved fanatics that want the MC to dick them down because there are no men that can?...bullshit...but fun I guess.
7. Furry content is really not my thing im honest, also, these look more like stuffed dolls. If it was more realistic, at least the face not looking like a doll then fine I guess.
8. By far the worst is, Sandbox and stat grinding, I have come to tolerate certain sandbox games, provided you don't make it a chore for the player to grind for stats to unlock more content. This is again that tedious bullshit that requires you to skip time, be in a place at a time to do a think, just go VN proper ffs!
9. Pregnancy timeline, nothing is explained as to timeline and how long the player would want pregnancies to last, additionally, we also can't change this stat later apparently, yet don't know if we like our choice...silly.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• Bit sudden on the tit and rim job so quickly off the bat, especially considering our MC is a clueless (obvious) inter-dimensional traveler and to make it even more crazy, the chick actually says next time to get her knocked up...?Ok...didnt see that coming...Not that I am really complaining, its great, I can only hope things don't get boring later in the game
• Per above point and really the biggest gripe I have with this game is how it all happens so quickly for the MC. The premise is already bullshit i.e. traveling between worlds, but this is a game, still the MC demanding the princess as wife as one of his first words uttered to the queen...I mean...He gets basically everything any perverted twisted dude (most of use on this site) could ever want within the first 10min of gameplay...its just too much and while we love kinky shit, sexy shit, some of us do value all that tied into a decent story...
• I think this VN is meant to be a lighthearted game, the MC is clearly a fool and clown i.e. immature and taking it very lightly that he has been transported to what is arguably a world and time where pretty much everything can kill you and life expectancy was not a hell of a lot more than 40. So consider that during your playthrough.
• I think its a fairly decent game, despite the cons mentioned, I am concerned it will burn itself out quickly though and have little to offer, if the rate its going at is any indicator. That being said, games like Grandma's House have been going on a good while, its all pretty crazy also and there are loads of kinks happening all the time with a completely bullshit premise, so it can work here also I guess.
• My last comment on this is that the way the sandbox was implemented is EXACTLY how I detest it being done. Your mission, go to blacksmiths daughter, have a blow job, now fuckol, go home, sleep, go back to BS daughter and have a different BJ, go home and sleep, go back to BS daughter, more BJ, sleep AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH STUPID ASS SANDBOX. You simply have to grind and go from pillar to post to "unlock" content, its sure as shit not fun...really...and whats compounding this is that when developer make sandbox games, they often don't spread content development in interesting ways, its usually like I explained above, you just end up grinding away at one NPC until all content is done then wait for the next patch and its more of the same, its just...I can't even END RANT.

NIce premise, and fetishes are right up my alley, you are given plenty of oppportunity for lewd stuff, which is cool.
but what really bothers is ren(that furry) why, hse seems so out of place dev should have made an elf or any generic women except that , it really breaks the immersion
also i hope there is no rng for impregnation it really sucks when you have to do the same scene over and over for the desired result
other than that i really loved the fact that you can handle the mission in your way and you get to see it's out come(no i won't be spoiling that, you gotta see it for yourself)
very good game , can't wait to see more (might be the best impregnation game yet)

There is first time for everything, and so is time for my first review.

I've played/watched quite a few VN's by now, but I really like this one, so far. So much, that I decided to drop my review too.
Very promising story-wise, visually it's perfect, dev seems to have spent lot of time designing things, including promising story.
Oh and well.. there is Maia..
5/5 @0.2 version

based on 0.2.0
Great beginning. Game have pretty generic isekai story with some fun twist. It try to introduce lot of domination and slavery themes right from the start - and it fits all mechanics. Story is simple and enjoyable but unfortunately short. It flow uninterrupted by any grind. Characters are also generic but very hot and beautiful. Scenes are exciting, quite long and engaging with lot of options. Sandbox is neither fun nor boring, probably would be better with more interactions if they will be added at some point. Depending on how quickly DEV will add content this could be hidden gem.

wow no thats how you start a game! great so far, renders look stunning and kinky stuff is quite well implemented. Esp. the sections about your slave are really hot and well done. Would be cool to be able to customize the girls intimate hair, feels wrong to have them all clean-shaven in a medieval fantasy world.

The game is amazing, nice graphics, good plot, perfectly implemented prostitution and slavery, animations are simply beyond praise, I haven’t seen such cool games in version 1.0 for a very long time. The developer is really great, there’s not even an unnecessary stupid grind, you just play the scenes They themselves are very varied and cool because of this, I recommend them to everyone.

5/5 for an opening, good story with perfect renders, man every girl is so beautiful. Although i think the furry one can be improved.
I think you can make the story a bit longer, slower and more teasing, render is perfect so just improve on the story.

The renders are nice, attractive, really enjoy the dominance. The getting a slave (hopefully more) aspect etc. Would love to see the depravity grow and getting to make the women expose themselves in public and private. Even wearing some set toys (plugs, leashes etc.)

The story is nothing ground breaking but it also doesn't overly dwell on itself trying to hype up the isekai aspect which I enjoy. All in all I give this a 4 out of 5 as it's good so far and it has potential to be great.

Looking promising. Great renders. Great content already in terms of lewd scenes. Dialogue can be better with regards to the contrast between the MC and the medieval fantasy setting. Not very realistic for a guy living in the Middle Earth to say the word "interstellar". Some typos here and there. But all in all great first release.

Pro: Models look good

Con: The story has a lot of potential, but it tends to move at a very fast pace right from the start. It would benefit from taking its time, especially since the main character is suddenly transported to a fantasy world without any knowledge of how things work. Additionally, the game offers limited choices for the player. For instance, there are situations where you can't explain what happened to the ogre, and you also can't choose to turn down the advances of female characters. Allowing more player agency could enhance the overall experience and make the journey feel more engaging.

I enjoyed this promising first release. I was sad when the content ran out, isn't that all that really matters?
Visually it's fine, no good or bad surprises. The writing is pretty good, I am curious to see what happens next! The choices available are not always completely satisfying to me, but that doesn't bother me much. I believe these games do best when they focus instead of trying to cover every single potential path. In other words: I want to see the next update much more than I'm interested in seeing more choices.

Great job, more please!
