VN - Ren'Py - Hooked! [v0.4.5] [BlenderKnight]

BlenderKnight is the G.O.A.T and i am HOOKED on this game. Excited to see more

All of the girls are fun to see and read. BlenderKnight's Art style is iconic and the story is comedic and well written and i just want more., especially from Helen and Alex since they have a lot less scenes so far Hannah in episode 2? that was fucking hot and i feel like this is just a teaser.

Gimmie more!!!

Never gave a thumbs up or rating for years. I enjoy playing from time to time and I know a lot of developers put effort into their work, but this one just seems different. Great UI, story, and animations. I just had to login and pay my minimum respect. 5 stars!!

Good premise, a great unique art style, with hot girls, my biggest gripe with this game, and the reason why it's not 5 stars, is how much of a ween the MC is, and it's fine to be nerdy and like anime and all the stuff they mention in the game, it's his god damn insufferable internal monologue that is completely lacking common sense that is doing it for me. Everything else about the game is great, but having a "weak" MC definitely hurts this game, and again I don't mean strong as in muscles. Maybe he will grow into a more confident character but for now, it's a 4 out of 5 star game because I struggled with his internal monologue.

Finally a game with an art style that's different. This one has a lot of potential and am looking forward to future updates. The writing is solid and so are the renders. Every daz and HS game seem to just blend together. Keep up the good work!

[Reviewed v0.2.0]

The art style and general set-up is refreshing, but the story seems a bit trope-y. Our "fish out of water" MC is likeable and the love interests offer some divergent personalities and body types. A good start so far -- I'll be happy to follow the game's development.

The Good ()

• Interesting cell-shaded / rotoscope art direction
• MC is likeable
• Story is whimsical and humorous -- found myself chuckling along a few times
• Good h-scenes and animations (if limited)

The Not-So-Good ()

• Feels like we can already predict where certain aspects of the story will go
• Relatively short -- not much to judge on so far

Hooked, I can openly say that it fulfills its objective because it left me "hooked" (Ba Bum Thesss ), joking aside, it fulfills everything it says and mostly I feel the immersion of a character with little experience in that era where it is located, giving a unique experience complemented by his art and that filter that makes you feel as if you were in a series from the 2000s, highlighting those small details where you appreciate or want to see where we are and are like a love letter to those times, for If I had money, Hooked would definitely receive my financing.

Updating my review from 4 to 5 stars after playing 3.0 because we are witnessing the making a great VN. The girls and sexual content in this game so far are top notch. I love this art style a lot. The writing can be cheesy and the main character is a typical moron virgin type, but it still made me chuckle multiple times so I won't let that bring this review down. Really looking forward to future updates.

Story is pretty good up to now and its well written, MC is a bit on the brainless side but its playable atleast, the thing is the story hasent really started yet or gotten anywhere, but it proberly goes without saying that it will be a mindless fuckfest game without much choices in that area, but even though im really not a fan of that type of game it does suit this story since its all about making a porn video with 3 girls and maybe there will be a side girl or two at some point as well, like the girl from the clothing shop.

It did take a bit of getting used to this art type but after a little time i got used to it and what can i say i like it, its well made and animations looks very nice as well even though theres not that many yet and no real sex scenes yet, just a handjob/boobjob and a MC thouching a girls pussy for a second, but looking forward to see more once this game gets more content, right now its very short and not really worth playing yet.

It has some voice stuff but its not really voiced as in its more just a word every now and then.

Game surely has potential but for now ill give it 4 stars and revisit once theres alot more content and then take it from there, i got to say i dident really belive the high ratings what so ever, expected most of them to just be fakes, so it did supprise me that it was this good.

WOW, this game is unique, i read the reviews and thought they are just hyping up their favorite creator or something and played it, right from the start aka the menu, you get the feeling of something new and fresh, and i gotta say that the name of the game is bang on, I'm hooked!

While playing i already knew i will get the feeling of wanting more once this ends and man the dev didn't disappoint.

5/5 on everything so far, the dialogue, visuals, sound, music, the whole vibe of it, it's just fantastic!

Only play if you are ready to get hooked and begin the excruciating wait for more, please don't disappoint us dev!

Well, this is a damn good start. I've seen Blenderknight's stuff before, and his style is unmistakable. Nothing else really looks like this game, and the girls are fucking gorgeous. Max's design is the most unusual, but in a good way, and I'm interested to see what he does with her.
The sexual tension is on point, and the NSFW is pretty great. Two sex scenes so far, and there was a lot of care put into them. Seriously, unless you're totally turned off by the art style, they are hot as fuck. Blenderknight likes putting subtle touches into his animations, particularly in his handjobs and blowjobs, and you can really tell that an actual animator is making this game. This probably means that updates will not be fast, but the quality will likely be worth it.
Also, the basic premise of the game is pretty fresh. It's set in the early 00's (given his surprisingly hot Kanker Sister animations, you can tell the man has a fondness for the cartoons of the time) and involves a small group trying to start their own porn studio. It's really nice to see something different.
If there's a weakness here, and YMMV, it's the humor. It's really not bad, but it's very silly and the MC is a certified dipshit. You might find his naivete and dweebishness charming, or annoying. Again, YMMV. I'm somewhere in the middle. I occasionally want to strangle him while demanding to know if he was exposed to a gas leak as a child, but only occasionally, and the overall tone of the game works well for me.
I should also note that the dialogue, despite the brainlessness of the MC, is great. It flows, it's funny, it ISN'T repetitive or redundant, and all the characters have a distinctive voice. You know you've done dialogue right if you removed the names and pics and can still tell who's talking. Hooked is just a nice place to be, and damn, do I want more.

One of the craziest first impressions I ever had. Saying that the game looks incredible is an understatement. The UI, the characters, the style, the animation, the dialogue, everything has so much work, flair and personality put into it. This game has all the makings of a true masterpiece, I can't wait to see how it will develop!

Didn't really had high hopes because I'm not a fan of 3d hentai games , but its actually pretty good. Looking forward to chapter 3. Pass this point of the sentence is useless so id stop reading if I were you. If you're still reading and wondering why this guy is still going I don't know either. Anyways Good game would play again.

what an amazing start, the characters are fun and sexy and the models are gorgeous. i'd normally take issue with the amount of wacky references and memes, but the presentation of them is so good i don't even care. this game is so good i want to kill myself

Not enough game yet to say for sure, but this has huge potential. Only two sex scenes so far, both of which are super hot.

The dev is really good at simulating intimacy and horniness. Not only are the characters attractive, they're attractive to each other, if you get what I mean? It really heightens the experience! So if the sex scenes keep being of this quallity, it'll be one of the greats.

Really like the animation style. It looks great in general, but expressions and cumshots stand out. Its rare for them to look this good!

The humor of the game is on point as well. I can only speak for myself, but I enjoy the MC being a bit dumb. It leads to funny moments. Im here to be entertained, not to read shakespeare

I'll update this review as more comes out!

This game has some of the best porn game art I've ever seen. Definitely a few cuts above the average.

I'm generally not a fan of straightforward Visual Novels, but I won't hold it against a game for being what it is. And for what it is it's grand, the women so far are great fun personalities and will probably lead to nice content (also, sweet Jesus hallelujah some variety in looks!)

The big sticking point for me is the MC. Playing as someone who is dumb as a brick just isn't fun and it also isn't as funny as the writer thinks it is.

I'm a huge fan of the art style and the CGs and scenes in general. It's very well done, and it's nice to see variety in the models (even though they're not my favourite body shapes really)

I'm taking a star off because I can't STAND MCs that are fucking stupid. Like there's goofy characters, and then ones that sound like they spent their childhood huffing paint. I want to engage with the MC, not have my eyes roll out of my head at how simple they sound.

Great game, the art is beautiful and the set up of the sotry is very refreshing. It is good when is not the same old plot that you see so often in this type of game.
The dialogue feels like a real conversation aswell another thing that very often the games fail to do.
One to keep an eye on for sure!

The main menu is really well done, the writing is fleshed out and comical (which I like), good use of SFX and BGM, and the renders are amazing. The best part so far are the animations in the game - it really makes it stand out from the rest. Really hope this gets the attention it deserves.

This game has insane potential and will soon be on the top list for F95. I just know.

If you don't know Blenderknight, the developer, the dude is originally an animator. He was one of the first to take up Blender for making animation porn back when everybody was just starting up on source filmmaker for porn. This was before all the Yeeros and Fpsblycks and Exgas and Vgeroticas and whatnot. The dude is an OG of the porn animation scene.

This is his attempt at making a porn VN, guess he saw the potential in the budding industry. And he nailed it. The game has art and animation quality that shits on the vast vast majority of renpy and daz games on this site. Not even closely comparable to the vast majority of the shit here.

And the story itself ain't half bad. See, blenderknight started out animating the kanker sisters, and you can definitely see the influence here. The characters are like a love letter to them. The UI, the dialogue, everything is purposefully nostalgic for the early 2000s. It's great.

The sole flaw of the game is that the protagonist is a complete loser. Deliberately so. He is meant to be a weaboo in the early 2000s, back when anime wasn't mainstream. So the dev desigend the protag to hit every single trope and cliche for a bullied otaku. It's funny for the first 2 seconds but becomes unbearable very soon. Our main character genuinely sucks to read.

Everything else is brilliant. Definitely give it a try.

The truth is that I was pleasantly surprised by this game.
The quality and artistic beauty of the characters and animation is notable, it also stands out for its originality. I like how the script develops, where the sensual situations flow in a natural and pleasant way. Hopefully development maintains this level because games like this raise the level.
