VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Hot Springs Academy [v0.4a] [Mirgosoft Games]

Played v0.2b game looks beautiful and its noticeable the dev put some hard work on it but it needs some proofreading, grammar its quite bad and half of the time cant understand whats happening.

It looks like this one will have quite a lot of LIs, most of them looks nice and with unique personalities. Its a little heavy on dialogues and it looks like its quite engaging but grammar its so bad that cant give a proper opinion on dialogues and story, you can get a general idea of whats happening but that's it. I recommend also reworking the choices, there's currently 2 scenes on the game and no choice prior to them (i would have liked to be able to reject the pink hair LI).

TL;DR: I would rate this one a 6.5/10, proper grammar would bump it up to an 8 so it has ton of potential, i will keep an eye on it and will revisit when it gets a proofreader .

nice game to play, graphics is ok, interesting plot but nothing out of the curve, characters as normal as you find in other games I like a brozenadas, gal etc.. I just think that the prota's sister who is out of line overall game mode curve with good potential 8.5/10

The same idea as in the Waifu Academy, but if there are only a few girls who were god tier, here I can easily rate most of them like that. Very good job with that.
However, protagonist act like he is hero of harem anime most of the time. C'mon, it's adult hentai game, not vanila tv show. But at the end he act cool, so let's hope it was made just for space for future character development.

Whole lot of potential with this one so far. Really impressed with the quality on display here. If, like me, you enjoy Waifu Academy, but don't like waiting ages between updates, try this out. It has the potential to be significantly better than WA. Cannot wait to see more.

v0.2b
+incest patch

This was really good. But too good in some aspects imo.

I loved the art style. And the quality. However, with this much attention to small detail like a character looking around... I imagine this one will take a long time to develop.

This game does teasing very well. But, it currently has no intercourse scenes. Personally don't like a mile long tease for the grand entry, but that's me.

The "sisters" are great and I liked the humor with the teasing. Looking forward to more of that. I get the feeling that this MCwon't do darker stuff intentionally so the night scene probly won't go more than peaking content I'd guess.

Anyway, tldr

Great art
Good teasing
No intercourse
Not that long yet.
A bit too much internal thought dialogue.

Worth a look.

For a game on F95zone, and an HS based one at that, HSA is really good. As of .2 we already were introduced to several characters, a couple mysteries and for those who don't want to read a book before you hold hands with a girl, fret not for there is erotica already as well. Though probably not to the degree some other games do; but to me that's a plus since it gives time to actually build on some of the characters.

Like most harem games though, the weakest link seems to be the MC himself. Though the 'First Day' is left open for later interpretation on purpose, we're told that the MC is actually a pretty capable guy. He doesn't really show it though. He's forgetful (Not including Day 1), meek and kind of a wimp. He scores high on a test, but that's all we're 'shown' so far. Kind of nitpicky since obviously nothing wrong with that kind of MC, but being told he's so great but seeing none of it is something that got my attention.

That said, I see a lot of reviews saying this takes some inspiration from certain other great games on this site. For a new project, I'm pledging for now and hoping to see great things going forward. Hoping though that they don't get 'too' inspired from said other game, or else we won't see .3 until 2023 ... :/

The game is well done in drawing all the characters are drawn normally fine details are done normally the plot is interesting, it can be seen that the developer is very good at making the game that even a little bit puts his soul into the game, I really respect such games that are made on the conscience and not just what to earn money and close the game

Definitely inspired by Waifu Academy, but there is nothing wrong with that and while Waifu Academy has deeper story, this game has better porn and better... flow? Because story is not overcomplicated (like in WA, the dev seems to be in a really though spot because of that right now) everything just works and i have no complains... ok there are stupid comedy-like sound effects sometimes, but they are rare enough to let it slide.

Story: 4/5
Art: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Porn: 5/5
Writing: 4/5

Overall at v0.2b the game is already great, writing and characters are enjoyable, art is good and porn is hot. It has everything i wanted and expected.

It's ok.

I believe HS Academy is inspired by Waifu Academy, with the obvious difference however being in the writing and dialogues, where the latter is excellent but the former is rather mediocre. Graphics are good, animations are decent enough, but I simply can't get over how unnatural the dialogues are. Will probably revisit someday.

This has some real potential and if development is stable, it could become one of the bigger games of the site.

Animations, writing and character designs are all good or even great.
There were a couple of typos here and there but it wasn't that distracting.
Excited for the future of this game and it's developer.

For now this is the most promising game to me. full of potential
Renders 5/5 great quality
Characters 5/5 Tone of hot characters. already more than twenty girls. I can't even remember each name of them all.
Lewd Scene 5/5 Animated Scenes are quite well-made.
Story 4/5 a school harem story with some humor and mysteries(?) I'm really looking forward to how the story goes on.

Totally in love with the game since the first release
The game is beautiful ! The scenery and landscapes are beautiful and warm, the buildings and rooms are logically arranged and filled with immersive details ! There is also a good work on the shadows and lights. But, what catches the eye (and the players) the most, are obviously the girls. If you like Harem, Japanese animes and school settings, you'll be served. More than 30 girls are waiting for you in Hot Springs Academy and they are all gorgeous from head to toe. Hair, faces, breasts, hands, pussies, asses and legs, outfits and accessories, nothing has been forgotten

Moreover, all these girls have a story, preferences, passions, and secrets. There is something for every taste and colour. The story is engaging, there are many mysteries and intrigues. There are many joyful, wholesome, stressful and lewd situations waiting for you. Speaking of lewd, there are quite a few at this point in the story and you won't be disappointed by what you see

Lots of sound effects and visuals, it adds dynamism to the whole thing. Animations are smooth, it's a real pleasure for the eyes There are nearly none clipping textures, the game is made with care.

Only the English translation isn't perfect, but if you're not looking to read Shakespeare and aren't picky, the dialogues are always understandable.

The developers are kind and very devoted to their game. They always want to do better to deliver the best quality game possible. I can assure you that they won't abandon it in the middle

If you like Japanese/Anime vibes, colourful characters and anime/manga situations, don't hesitate anymore, go play it now !

I really enjoyed the setup but near the end of the this version (0.1) it definitely felt rushed. While the girls seem promising, the cast is huge and I fear many of them just seem to be the same stereotype. Also I kind of had whiplas when the 2nd sister showed up.
Translations is readable, renders are really well done, no meaningfully choices as far as I could tell in this version.

On par on waifu academy in terms of art style and story setting. I doubt it will be better story wise, although i don't really like the latter as well.

I honestly love this and i'll keep my eyes on updates and will change my review based on how it goes. The only thing i dislike is that some side characters are so fucking horny and will just fuck the MC even on their first meeting, i love sex scenes, but this kind of trigger ain't have immersion and ruins it. Hoping for the developer's success on this one, and does not end up like the dude of the other game that was said above.

EDIT: From 4* to 2*because of slow updates

And so, what personally hooked me in this game.
A very ambitious project with great potential. Every picture is made with love!
1: Girls - Incredibly beautiful Waifu, a large cast of distinctly unique girls, all dressed according to their character, and thanks to the hot weather. Best of all there are as many as "5" hot "Gyarus" in the game, I just love it!!!!
2: Characters - Great variety of characters. All girls have their own character, some dislike guys, some love their presence, everyone has their own cockroaches in their head.
2: Whole locations (especially the school and the big city) and most importantly, there are a lot of them, I was especially thrilled when I saw the outdoor pool, mmm...girls in swimsuits under the open sky.
3: Quality elaboration of the scenes, (Perfectly tuned fingers, Skirts do not enter the body, No hovering in the air objects, Prodobnye backdrops, all done with taste).
4: Graphics - very nice picture, lighting with shadows looks great! Even though it's not Daz3D, the character models look much better than most games with scary faces.
5: Plot - A story with a mystery and anime bias that is fun to follow. Everywhere the MC goes constant moments and events keep the MC on his toes. He's already seen his life start to change, and those halcyon days he spent with his buddies at the School for Boys seem to be behind him now!
The home atmosphere is wonderful, his mom and sisters, I'm already looking forward to the naughty scenes with his mom.
And as far as I'm concerned, the Japanese atmosphere of what's going on complements everything perfectly.
In general, everything looks very lively and colorful, a lively city, cars, pedestrians.
6: Game Features: Animated Smooth Scenes, Sound Effects, Screen Effects.
The animated scenes look very fluid, I liked them a lot, would have liked to see more obscenity.
The sound effects are immersive, there is no doubt that you are out of the game.
I recommend this wonderful game to everyone, I am sure you won't be disappointed, you won't be bored.

The developers have gone to great lengths to make us enjoy this wonderful creation!
It's definitely worth every star.
Can't wait for the next updates!

I enjoyed this demo a lot. It does a good job of showing what the game is going to be about, and along with the devs notes (which are great, and very welcome always) help the player to get a grip on what to expect.

PROS:

-The graphics and renders are very solid. The girls are all hot and the scenes are sexy. Even though there's very little nudity to this point, there are still a lot of scenes that are super hot.

-The MC, despite being a youth, is fully grown and fit (this is a very big deal to me).

-Despite the large cast of characters, they are all well done and unique, and I'm very excited to see more.

-It seems to have the layout to make it into a very fun game with a lot of potential.

CONS: (not many)

-To this point, the game is a hallway VN, with minimal player choice. That actually makes a lot of sense, given how its set up as an intro. However, I'm hoping that it soon expands to be at least a semi-sandbox where the player can choose where he wants to go and which girl he wants to interact with, and isn't just purely a continuous story being told. Otherwise it will likely end up being more of a sexy anime than a game, IMO.

-There are several different mysteries going on in the brief story so far that the player needs/wants to figure out, and I hope that they don't pull themselves too far in different directions because of that.

-I'm hopeful that the dev eventually adds in some sort of character cards for the girls and/or a points system so that the player can see how he's progressing with each one. Otherwise, it would be easy to forget with so many.

Its off to a great start with beautiful models, interesting setup, intriguing story, and great animations. I agree that there are some odd things for english like random words between << >>, but apart from that its something to keep your eye on.

The game greets player with a standard cliche MC monologue. Sooo meh, around 80% of renpy VNs starts with MC complaining about things. I'm getting really tired of reading those again and again and all over again.
And then again, look at this: "Every girl here looks very nice!" — it's a damn coercion, why you guys always keep doing this? I, as a player, can decide for myself whether a girl looks nice or not, no need to guess for me.

Generally speaking about the girls in the game, their models do not vary much from the standard presets Honey Select, they all wear the same clothes, their faces are similar to each other, differing for the most part only hair color.
So we have 30 girls with "different" personalities. Thirty! That sounds cool, doesn't it? The only problem is that the more girls in the game, the less detailed each of them. So we have 30 clichéd characters whose lines are not difficult to predict. It's the bane of the fashionable trend of making harem games with filler characters. Like, every scene here I've seen a lot of times before.
Seriously, I can't fap to what I can't talk to.

Yet, I have to notice the quality and elaboration of the animation. Even scenes where you could have done without it, like the cum dripping from the nurse's hand, are animated. This is a large amount of not-so-nessesary work, and it feels great.

The visuals of the game are very good but I don't like the zoom effects constantly used.

The English translation is not good it ranges from simple typos to WTF is the Dev trying to say.

The game is coded in Russian, so it's not possible for me to look for variables in the script.

The worst part of the game is how the MC is written, starting from having him faint so he can be drugged and used by the nurse, to him forgetting the first day of school, to him being a useless virgin wimp shown in the conversation at the start of day two with Akane.

So overall a good-looking game but the way it is written I don't have fun reading it.

I say 5/5 for potential, and the girls are gorgeous. I really like that they all have their own personalities, and dress accordingly to suit that. The only issue is the translation, which you said in the discussion that you were going to look in to.

I really look forward to future updates, and will continue supporting you on Patreon as long as they happen! Good luck!
