Ren'Py - Him [v0.3.3 Fix] [Kabuki]

Wow, I just played this adventure game, and it's so good! From the very start, it just pulled me right in. The places you visit in the game? They look amazing! Every new area was like a picture, full of cool little things to see. It felt so real, whether I was running through old ruins, green forests, or busy towns. The feeling of the game was always just right.

What also made the game stand out was its characters – the game has a lot of visually appealing female characters, which definitely added to the overall style and appeal for me. Beyond that, the story was really well told, with awesome characters and surprises all the time. I always wanted to know what would happen next, and what secrets I could find. And the puzzles? They were super clever! Hard enough to make you think, but not so hard that you get stuck and just want to quit. it felt smooth and fun, not too much, just enough to keep things exciting. This game just got everything right. It was such a great time, and now I just want to play more!

(Version 0.3.0)

Pretty good especially with the sexual scenes actual good renders with animations in this cesspool of the trash on here a miracle indeed. Dialogue checks are not that annoying to me? Seems pretty easy to just be consistent with being a bad guy and all or the other way around. With the bad guy path like the way you are getting increasingly worse morally. Seems like this one offers more sex scenes especially with the prisoner at first but the rest doesn't seem to restrict that only the restriction it seems is on the morality of the actions you take. Other thing I like with this is the story author says he's not a writer but hell seems like more of a damn writer then a shit load of the things on here that might have good renders and animations but oh man the damn writing not good or truly bad just boring plain ass boring. This story reaches a golden standard on this site for an actual interesting novel to read with damn good porn scenes which should be the standard but unfortunately it is not.

Like the Disco Elysium voices but will they play a further role or is there purpose just to provide extra dialogue to the actions the player makes? Its not a negative just wondering if there's going be an greater role for them. Main character not that much of an idiot I would say since I feel like he would die fast regardless of intelligence since this seemingly is an fantasy world with realistic standards seemingly there's magic but vast amount of people do not have it and the vast majority of people seemingly do not have the physical capabilities to take down an ogre expect maybe the armored dude Gaius no superhuman people yet. So an average guy in that world? Yeah I would die pretty fast obstacles to me seem believable hell this guy is abnormal with the zero hesitation on risking his life.

Only thing not realistic is getting to that sex but hey porn games got to have porn and for me I like a quick fuck. Don't care nor hate the Isekai stuff but I did enjoy the way that came about with Alex when the main character was sleeping.

- In total like the plot and sheer variety of sex scenes especially the plots around them.
- Emphasizing once again on the amount of good ass sex scenes.
- Main wife cute as hell especially with the freckles on her face and the way she acts.

I don't think this game has reached 5 stars yet, but it is pretty good. There are still some logical inconsistencies as outlined by other reviewers based on your choices that need addressed (as well as a few grammar mistakes), but the graphics and story are pretty great. I'm less annoyed by the dialogue checks as I previously was, but it's still possible to miss things so I think it still needs a toggleable walkthrough/hint system just in case. At least a few hours of content and a couple of different paths here and overall worth it.

Liking this game so far. I dig the fantasy setting and the girls look good. Unfortunately I can't count how many promising starts I've seen on this site that never went anywhere, so here's hoping this game is one of the exceptions.

[v0.2.3] [v0.3.2]

Why is captain of the guard strolling through an open fiend in solitude?
Why would he want to reward the protagonist even if he confesses that he had nothing to do with ogre's demise?
Why would the captain want to setup a queen audience with some random hobo?
Why would he babysit our MC, does he have nothing better to do?
Why would a prostitute want to be impregnated by some stranger that she sees for the first time?
If the ogre was such a big threat, why there was no militia or military companies hunting it?
Why would queen gift a lowly peasant palace quarters and wed him into her family?
Why would she sleep with you right away? She can't be that down bad, right?
A vendor wants you, complete nobody, to breed her because she has to produce breast milk for her business?
Why did the blacksmith's daughter get a sudden urge to marry protagonist after seeing his penis?

The latest update managed to fix most logical inconsistencies with the plot yet not all:

1. dev rewritten Dariuses remarks about a passing by elf to be as mild and inoffensive as possible, but MC still calls him out for racism later on.
2. if you choose to go straight to your room instead of conversing with Darius in the tavern (brothel), Diana comes in and still says "I overheard your conversation with sir Darius" even though it didn't happen. And then asks "Changed your mind?" when you suggest sex as if she had offered before.
3. Somehow queen found out from the guild girl that MC let the witch go, even tho he told her that she escaped.
4. Dev moved the queen scene farther down the narrative, which is good. Unfortunately he did not bother to rewrite it, which is sad.
5. The game does not acknowledge some of your choices, when it comes to refusing or ignoring love interests.
6. At times the game still feels like a porn parody rather than a compelling story, but those moments are relatively rare.

⠀⠀⠀Most choices let you be either honest or liar and kind or sadist, turn down or engage in sexual activities and some other misc. decisions. Sometimes you can even roleplay as a murderous psycho.
⠀⠀⠀Dev put a disclaimer saying "be careful not to stray in one direction" in regards to the "Honor" (karma) system, yet the game actively punishes you for being neutral by having stat checks for certain action/dialogue options.
⠀⠀⠀Some stat-related choices seem to be quite arbitrary, e.g. if you grab your "wife's" breast, you lose "Honor" even tho she's not really being forced or against the idea.
⠀⠀⠀Game still has a bug many months later, where it can't remember which value in "mcname" variable belongs to which playthrough, so my protagonist changes names on the fly.
⠀⠀⠀Visuals are good: textures are high-res, objects throw shadows, ambient occlusion is present and lighting fees more or less natural. Character models look pretty, most have big booba.
⠀⠀⠀Animations range from mid to fine: there is no momentum, no passion, bodies have stiff movement, camera angles aren't the best. Sex scenes are too short, have very little dialogue and have no sound effects. Also I hate this 'change speed/pose/POV' animation selector instead of proper human-directed sex scenes. Overall I'm sort of disappointed by sexual content.
⠀⠀⠀Mostly VN with some free-roam sections. These sections still feel like an afterthought, not adding any depth of value to the game. There is already a framework for what I assume will be a proper sandbox in the future, but for now it's a visual novel.
⠀⠀⠀Crystal Castles enjoying cute GF/femboy

Dev actually listens to player feedback and fixes their game? They also put a lot of time and effort into the updates? Wow, rare.

High quality game so far. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, but does keep things interesting. The game is a bit quick in throwing out sex scenes, but I can't fault it too much when the scenes are both hot and well animated. Also, for a game that's been out for less than a year, it has tons content already. Overall, I recommend the game and hope the dev sticks with it as it could end up being something special.

This game has a great medieval fantasy feel. The writing is clear and easy to follow without being too simple.

I don't mind sandbox games when they’re done well or have a strong foundation. Some people complain these games don’t have deep characters or enough detail to be a masterpiece. But making something like that is extremely hard, even for big studios. It’s easy to talk about what’s missing, but creating all of it, especially as one person, is another story. Just making a sandbox game that feels fun is already a big achievement.

So far, there’s no real grinding in this game, and the story and gameplay parts work well together. I do wish there was a little more freedom in the story sections, but it’s still enjoyable. The animations and visuals are great. You can tell a lot of effort went into them. The game is still a big WIP, but if the developer keeps it up, it could turn into something really great.


Overall, it's a relaxing and fun game with a lot of potential.

Some devs need to understand that in adult games there is games, and in adult visual novel there is a visual novel.


The game is basically nothing more then a porn slideshow, none of the character is believable or has even any normal behavior, the story is also non existant and just a pretext to push porn scenes, you are "knocking up" women before even knowing them.


The game cannot be more empty and shallow, having a lot of meaningless scenes is useless even if the renders are good.

Ton of content for a game thats only been out half a year. Well written, not too many mistakes/poor language usage (few spelling mistakes).

Interesting plot and decent amount of choices so far. Will definitely follow this one

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! The storyline got me hooked, especially because the characters were so interesting. All the girls stood out; they were so beautiful.

The visuals in the game are impressive. Although the animations are limited, it doesn't make the overall experience any worse.

Renderings: 9/10
Characters: 10/10
Storyline: 8/10

Overall, Him is an incredible game!
Rating: 9/10

Great game so far. Good setting, diversity of choices characters and roles (dominating, women actually get to do some light femdom instead of the dude just taking over) the pregnancy mechanic has potential to be a 10/10 which is very hard to find.

Animations are great

I've been waiting for a long time because this game has my favorite sexual activities, especially the queen theme... If you know of any games where we have sex with a queen and make her our own, please feel free to suggest it. I wanted it not to be a sandbox mode from the beginning, and that's what happened, maybe if I had wished for something else it would have happened. lol! Many thanks to the developer.

One of the most promising stars right now. It's basically a power fantasy isekai where you fuck every women you come across.

Stunning models and fluid animations.

A lot of content for a new game.

Dev listens to feedback and changes stuff for the better.

Great feet shots.

The story isn't the greatest but it's serviceable. Overall the gameplay is decent. All it's needs is to be fleshed out. And judging by the time frame it probably will.

Not a fan of the feet stuff but hey it's there for the people that do like it. Great start imo.

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.

Updated as the Dev made major changes

Like removing most of the sandbox, now just has focused moments instead of spending ages not knowing where you are or where you're going. Much better there.

It feels a little more coherant, not so out of place now.

The MC has been vastly improved, you still have the option of being an arsehole MC, but you also have the option of being nice. This still needs cleaning up as there's random lines which are still just straight up arsehole which need to be edited but overall it feels more like he's a confused Isekei character.

Onto the whole Isekei thing... it's still just a cop out, it's the laziest way of telling a story. I still stand by that. Isekei isn't great, it does allow you to project your own personality onto the MC but frankly I'd rather just have someone of that world to project myself onto. The Isekei is annoying as it's always a thing which either never gets explained or does and it's just bad, lets just be in the world we're in.

I'm still not keen on the character model for the MC, he's like an actual ghost he's so pasty white. He looks seriously ill. But the cook model has been vastly updated and that's much better, now in keeping, it does all feel much more of the same world now which is good.

Other characters are a little more interesting than they were, enough that I'm interested but still the LI's are all either a slave (call it a maid but it's a slave) or they're just automatically way too interested in a pasty white guy who looks like he drank way too much white lightning and might need to go to hospital. That's not particularly believable yet.

I actually stopped at the point where you have to break Maia's cute little heart to continue the Harem route, or commit to staying with her, and considering this is meant to be a Harem game and has so many different LI's I know I'd be missing most of the content by choosing just her, not sure if you even can choose just Maia or the game will force you into other routes.

Also Diana at the Brothel, looks great and there's an option for a scene there, that I didn't take as for me prostitution has no place in a Harem game. Again more content that I would be deliberately missing out on, you can revisit so I presume she'll be getting more screentime so that's still a minus.

So my rating has gone up by one star, but this still is something I'm quitting early as it just doesn't work for me. I don’t always want to play as a goody two shoes, I do actually enjoy ravager at moments for it's insanity and obscene power trip qualities. But in this setting, with a human character and these characters, especially Maia, breaking her little heart is a no go zone, so I will not go in this zone.

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.

Edit: The game got rewritten to be so much more serious, which inevitably made it terrible because the author does not have anywhere near the talent to back it up.

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 - EDIT: 2.2 - EDIT 3.3
SUMMARY: Nice looking game with much potential, that has its quirks but is mostly screwed over being sandbox. Much improved since launch.
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!
8. Sandbox removed/adjusted for more VN style game is a strong positive and shows the developer does listen and improve, that alone is worth a star.
9. Developer is actively monitoring feedback and improving, that alone warrants a star.

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 if 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.
10. New VN and free roam approach needs some TLC like a map or selection menu for the locations that can be explored or visited. Needing to go back 2, forward right then back 3 left 4 is almost as annoying as sandbox and will need a faster navigation menu.
11. Still not true VN as some sandbox elements still remain.

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.
• The dev has opted to remove the sandbox for a more linear approach that has some free roam elements to it. However this system, while it works, will need more work on the interface and implementation.
• The navigation arrows on screen work as intended, however a nicer way to implement it is to create maybe a less obvious arrow? Also maybe highlighting intractables?
• The dev most likely spent time revamping the game and thus not much content was added to the most recent release, that said, the dev should try and tie events in to remove even more sandbox elements. Waiting till tomorrow to see the next scene with the blacksmiths daughter is still sandboxy and pointless. Consider letting events unfold more natural and give one day some free roam with random elements (unless missed by the player) or even consider having the player pick e.g., either slave girl or cow girl which sets creates its own chain of events necessitating playing the game again and picking the other. Elements like that require much more work, but you can get much more support and replay value.

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)
