VN - Ren'Py - Holly Smiles at the End [3/5] [DiscipleofVirginia]

Meh. So this game has / had potential... it feels like there was a really cool strong concept there. The monster.. thing is creepy in a sexy way, like that game with the investigator with a cat somewhere in a winter city. I like creepy horror games mixed with erotica, I like things that make me uncomfortable. But... This game suffers from three issues (at least for my tastes).

First, it seems to forget the erotica. There's a few gropes (which, for some weird reason, really upset the MC well beyond what would be normal), some sexy bimbo creature... after a half hour of slow and fast clicking there's a bj... maybe there's more later, I have no idea and I will not find out. Its not that its a slow burn, its that there's almost no burn. Even if wanting to focus on hypno bimbofication, there's a lot of content that can be worked in way earlier to foreshadow, to in-media-res, etc. And just showing some hot women isn't erotica, its just.. wrapping I guess.

Which leads to the second issue, why does it take so long to see anything? Because there is a LOT of filler meaningless text. Some of it is interesting philosophically maybe, some of it is interesting mathematically... but minutes and minutes and minutes could be summed up with "and they talked about stuff" with no meaningful change to the game.

And maybe all the empty text could be a little more interesting if.... there were any choices in the game. Maybe somewhere something will become an interesting choice, but I haven't run across any choices. Its totally a non-interactive VN. And if you are going to build a non-interactive VN then the writing has to be Solid and quick. There's a reason spider man doesn't spend 10 pages discussing how imaginary numbers work.

So... meh. I like the art, the characters are probably interesting... but unless all the writing gets tightened up and condensed a LOT I don't imagine a lot of people will get to what is probably a really cool reveal later. Which is a shame.

Really good Visual Novel, reaaly awesome. Great renders, great characters, great atmosphere, great story. For those who are familiar with the dev and like the tags its a no brainer to play. For those in doubt, of course some ppl will not like the fetishs or the style due to personal taste, but I do advice giving it a try

fucking awesome, loved the sissification plot. The dominant futa demon, mind washing hypnosis. All is cool. Well, I'll type some more, cause review requires 200 characters). Still not 200, ok maybe now.

The game seems interesting enough but as with most 3dcg it gives off uncanny valley vibes and I honestly cannot stand it.

There are really only 3 things that made me rate the game so poorly, its English and visuals.

DoV is their own person and they make AVNs they like and they tell a story they like and they don't really care what others think. This dev has a loyal following and for good reason. NOBODY does weird AVNs like DoV and this one is no exception.

While this particular story is not my kinda thing, it does not take away from the production. Compare this to Autumn Blvd and you can see their growth as a developer, plus no one can do a butt slap like DoV.

To be fair, DoV has always struggled with writing in English and their stories and dialogue can be difficult to follow and this one is no exception. Despite that, I always look forward to the next release of all of theirAVNs.

If you a looking for different, weird and scary, then download it today. I can promise you there are no other devs out there like this one.

The visuals are really not for me - some kind of psychodelia.
Animations are rare and the writing is too hard to comprehend. Reviewed version 2/5 and there is not much content at that time.
There is no gameplay, just VN where you have to make some choices sometimes that affect your stats.

If you played their previous games, you need no review. If you haven't, this might be a good one to start with, given it's bug free and easy to get into. They have really gotten a lot better with time.

As always, it's a whacky horror bimbo show with all sorts of weird stuff happening. This is about as weird as it'll get on F95zone. If you want to play the 154.532 iteration of "vanilla harem game (TM)" to soothe your tortured incel soul, it might be best to walk away.

I love it though.

I'm a really big fan of all of DoV's projects, and this one is no different. Compared to both Autumn Boulevard and OBAB it's pretty easy to follow and in true DoV fashion somehow connected to the overarching lore. I always look forward to these games and the premise of this one is SUPER unique and interesting. in a genre where pretty much every game is poorly-written nonsense this is a very nice change of pace. Gee-Dee is also definitely my favorite villain(?) in the DoV-iverse.

Like all things DoV makes I love the mix of horror and sex appeal, GeeDee is easily my favorite character out the game although I am only going off of part 1. Writing wise I like it, many times while I enjoy DoV's games they do get hard to follow for me personally. Like I couldn't tell you what was going on on Autumn Boulevard at one point, lol. Of Birds and Bees is still my favorite game made by DoV though, I replay each update there.

Now let's see any criticism I had of this game...Well I feel the pacing is a bit quick sadly, and the story feels on the shallow side. Like the foundation is there, and it could have more depth, but just doesn't do it. Like going by the summary Gadreel's background would have been nice to see in the game itself so far, you know even if it was more hinted upon. It's one thing I appreciate in Of Birds and Bees of trying to fit in lore with the story telling, something this game so far is missing. Personally I just feel like the limitations of a four part plan is holding the potential of the game back that even background characters are shallow and don't matter currently. Like all the women are attractive, but outside that and the groping they might as well be planks of wood for me on my feels for them.

Next I didn't like the lack of choices for Part 1, but I saw that will be fixed in Part 2, so yay! GeeDee absolutely love, and I'm all for the kinks as a fan of MtF stuff. I'm curious of the long term change of the bimbo, like in Autumn Boulevard, Bianca? I think that was her bimbo name, she felt just meh to me and then there was times she felt perfect. Personal tastes being different on her upgrade looks I guess, but I do hope for some sexy full on mega bimbo body if it's a choice.

Anyways I love the start and look forward to where it goes like all your games DoV. I gave this a four stars because I do like the visuals, kinks, (especially future tags like Romance, Slave and Futa in one game!?) and GeeDee herself, all hail mommy doms.

This is totally interesting, and have not seen anything similar! keep it up please! I would really love to see how it involves, and most importantly that you provide updates i really hope you dont stop update this game. The quality so far is just excellet!
