VN - Ren'Py - Hooked! [v0.5.4] [BlenderKnight]

Absolute masterpiece so far. You really can feel that it is being made with lots of love. The creator is not just some gooner programmer with some 3dcg knowledge (like most on the site) - the game wasn't made, it was crafted. By someone who cared. There are so many lovely details, needlessly elaborate animations, creativity is literally pouring out of the screen. The matrix sequence, oh my god, so good!

The game is funny, charming and very, very sexy.

I'm sending a virtual fist bump to the person who made this. You, sir, are an artist.

One of the best on this site. Art style is unique. Animations are solid. Girls feel like real humans.

I don't normally read story much but I read everything in this game. Great job to the devs. I'll be following this closely.

What really makes this game stand out is the girls. They actually feel like real people instead of the usual VN stereotypes. They joke around, tease each other, get awkward, etc. The dialogue feels pretty normal (not that I ever talk to girls IRL, so I don't have a lot to compare to) and not super forced, which honestly is rare for games like this. I ended up caring about them way more than I expected.

The sex scenes work better because of that, they don’t feel random or slapped in just to be there. Animations are smooth, and the art looks great. It’s not super long right now, but what’s there feels polished and well thought out. Definitely worth playing and keeping an eye on.

I love the art style, the attention to detail, the vibe and the humour. It made me chuckle quite a bit. Even though it's a bit cringe at times, I'd give it 10/10. The scenes are also really good, will be back for Ch. 6.

I've gotten banger after bangers playing games from the "weighted rating" filter, and this one is undoubtebly another BANGER.

Artstyle is unique and beautiful, animations are gorgeous, the settings and story is also interesting, there really isn't anything bad regarding this VN, I suppose my smallest gripe with it is just the MC being a little too much of a wimp and unrealistically so, I mean, a slightly muscular sailor with a huge penis would probably not be such a prude regarding sex, at least not ones i could imagine, I don't personally know of any, but I met ship hands and the one thing they want after being at a sea for weeks and months is prostitutes...

Anyway, give this a play! It's sadly quite short as of my review but there is enough content and no blueballing!!

92/100

Really well written characters and I liked the animation the characters were all great. They really had me hooked . The dialogue is very interesting and diverse. The theme that was set really added to the story itself. It's an interseting idea and the humor of it all really added onto it. I personally was amused. The girls are all pretty hot aswell nice designs. Great personalities

I do not leave reviews, because i don't feel like it. But this one deserve it. Animations are perfect, camera angle makes me thinks i'd do the same. The story is great and characters are, unlike many VN, well written. Great great work. You deserve your 5 stars

The easiest 5-star review I'll ever give.

Characters are diverse and at least somewhat realistic compared to many other games with a similar themes. Animations are art are top tier. Story is good, and the 90s backdrop of 'early internet' is a great setup for girls trying to enter the industry with no idea what they're doing.

MC bromance with Nighthawk is top tier.

One of the best, incredible art and character design. Very likeable girls and super hot. Nice scenario, simple and good. Also, crazy to be rawdogging Blender for this, instead of another DAZ copy of the same girls iwth minor alterations. Mad props!

Masterpiece.

I love everything about this game, from every Nitehawk message to the tarcups logo. I dont think i’ve really enjoyed an adult visual novel video game so much ever since Girl in the Shell.

Hope there will be much more content and more mini games.

The most frustrating part is that this game had clear potential that was completely wasted. The initial premise promised more but ended up bogged down by poorly polished graphics, a shallow protagonist, and a story that falls back on the genre's worst clichés. A missed opportunity in every way.

[v. 0.5.4]
Cool authentic vn.
Not gonna say much about it's unique style cause it's already said enough and you can see it yourself in preview screens. It's a breath of fresh air, tribute to the memory of good ol' days. I like it's vibe, vivid characters and lightness but it's too short and many untold things you should wait in the next episodes or to think out.
Mini-game looks like fifth leg and it's more annoying than interesting. Better spend time on story telling and fill episodes with more events. For the first 5 episodes you can see clear pattern that at the start of episode you watch some action then near the end you get sex scene with new girl in the list.
I believe that the final version of this game can surprise with it's fullness and interesting ending.

I downloaded this only because I saw Blenderknight's name, but good lord it was even better than I thought. If there's one word to describe this VN, it would be; Charming.

Everything about this is charming. Perfectly so. The characters are lovable, the MC is a well-meaning goofball, the dialogue is relatable and humourous, and the sex is so. Fucking. Sensual. This isn't some sloppy-toppy fuckfest, no. Its feels like a romantic retelling of someone's life. You know those rose-tinted memories you have of someone you loved with all your heart? This feels like it. Made me warm and fuzzy inside. I really don't know what to say.

Normally for reviews, I would break down the pros and cons, but I can't with this one. Its just perfect imho. Almost like it was catered to ME specifically. Everything about this is tailored so well, especially around Knight's art-style with his 3D character models. And when I say the sex is sensual, it really is. The angles, the pacing, the detailed yet smooth animation, and the music, all blends together like a masterclass in visual/audio design.

I have not felt love in/for a porn novel in years. This one...yes, I do.

All the girls are sexy, the animation quality is peak, and the writing doesn't make me regret learning to read like most LN games. It's also cool that the choices have actual influence on the progression, I know its more work, but it does add to the re-playability. Really looking forward to how the story progresses.

crazy good. I would love to find a non-porn game like this too. Whoever is discovering this 5 years down the line when there's a bunch more content, you're in for a treat. Really great, unique visual style. As great as this is, I hope the dev branches out of porn games some day

Too good. Some of the best scenes I've seen in a game. Renders are smooth and nice to watch unlike a lot of VNs. Content is fairly vanilla, but that's not really an issue. The characters are also pretty stereotypical, but that's obviously intentional/leaned into. Can't wait to see more.

Fun, Charming game with great characters, great models, great vibes and a goofy likeable protagonist. The overall quality of this project is through the roof, with stellar animations and all done in Blender. The only downside is that is a little short, but it makes up for it big time.
When it will be completed, i will surely be a top 3 of the entire site

I rarely make reviews, but this one deserves one.
It's amazing! Great writing with a good amount of humor mixed in. Each character has their own personality and flaws. The animations are top tear it makes me wonder if the creator has a degree in animation. Their is a good mix of story and spicy scenes too. It doesn't take 2 hours just to get some action, but it still has breaks in between to get to know the characters. 100/10

A 3D ren'py game that doesn't look like shit? Impossible!
Great art style, love the ealry 2000s main menu especially. Characters feel like real people thanks to the great writing. Quite a few really great scenes so far, and the game doesn't make you wait too long to get them. Exited to see this get updated. 5/5.

Thats it?
Here i m walking 3 star review, checking the promissing game
Version 0.5.4 dedicated android port

Game have like 3 sex scenes and 2 of them give you some space to play with the girl

Done, end of content get dropped to menu
At least there is galery with scenes

Pros:
good and unique graphics
interesting premise for the game
nice chemistry between characters
Solid performance
fishing minigame is not awful, please don't change it into worse

Cons
blant, kind of boring sex scenes
very little playable content
uninteresting dialogue slops

Suggestion:
give player some statistic to gain from dialogues:
Confidence, Shyness or something and unique options for having them
(my monkey rpg brain feels better when number goes bigger)

Turn sex interactions into more player-control with a meters sandbox minigames instead of this semi-slop/semi-control autoscrollers
(i think game would be much better if goal for video shoot would be to make the girl cum or get simultaneous orgasm or others)

ADD end of content Screen that let player save and thanks for playing and version number + info where to find new version or whatever (its a tasteful way to plug yourself after you showed people the project)
