Ren'Py - House of Shinobi [v0.21_Tavern] [CutePercentage]

The art is great, and it starts off really strong. But after a while, it feels like you’re just constantly being blue-balled, which I guess is kind of the point. Definitely leans into that gooning vibe.

Wow, nice work.
A well-developed plot and vibrant art. Even though it's AI.
I like the author's style and the way he tells the story. You can really be just a normal guy, or a medium-rare asshole. If you want, you can be a well-done asshole.

First of all, this game started with one of the biggest potential on this site imo. Now people are complaining about paywal which is fine, it's business after all but the dev shifted his direction and lost his passion for the game. Instead he spends his all energy on formulating the scenes and milking the subs. I am not talking about grinding, grinding is good but progress starts to feel more unnatural since last few updates. Dont get me wrong I have no problem with being blue balled(maybe I am even enjoying it, idk) but it just stopped being hot. I literally witnessed this whole transformation. I hope dev changes his focus, it had so huge potential at initial phase and it is so sad to see such wasted opportunity.

It's a massive dumpster, charging money for everything, and I'm disappointed with the latest update. I want to mention that he initially promoted the game well, but considering the numerous blocks, he's wrong.

There is much to say, but I'll put it in short: just walk away.

This game is a just dead grindy and doesn't worth playing the amount of time I spend on it (hours and hours, exploring all the routes). Deserves a walkthrough BTW. The artwork is ok when you're into AI generated CG, but honestly it can be made by anybody in 10 minutes on a free online generator.

And that is the problem. Spending hours grinding for a stat or a repeatable event to get to the final event, that you can't see unless you pay. It's free to play, pay to win access to someting less average than a few sexy pics.

So unless you're into masochist stuff and you like being edged all the time for nothing, just keep walking, truely. It'a massive tease that leads nowhere. It's actually the best thing it does to you : teasing. Huge tease.

As for the content, I don't understand the tags, mostly the preg tag (unless we count the 3 intro CGs), but it certainly would have deserved a grind tag.

It could be a good game, but a choice must be made otherwise it'll stay an endless intro to a game that doesn't exist (unless you pay). Either we get free access, either it's a paying from the beginning, but right now it's just a deception.

The best AI game I've ever played. Definitely give it a try. As someone who loves Hinata and Ino, I'm looking forward to the sequel. I hope we don't have to wait too long. Regards and love to the producer.

This one is kind of a letdown. The quality is decent for an AI project. Not amazing, but solid enough. The game design and interface work fine, and at first glance it seems promising. But once you start playing, it quickly becomes frustrating. Everything feels like a tease with no real payoff.

After a year, almost nothing meaningful has happened. The only standout moment for me was the shower scene with Hinata and Boruto, which I genuinely liked. Let’s be real, Hinata is the main draw here. In a game built around NTR and corruption in the Naruto setting, she's the character people show up for. But that's the only scene I can remember, and it came early. Since then, the updates have been underwhelming.

The writing leans too hard into edgy territory, and when combined with AI-generated art that often exaggerates everything, it ends up looking tacky instead of intense. It feels like the game is trying to be darker and more shocking than it actually earns. The story feels hollow, the gameplay is forgettable, and most scenes lack any weight or momentum. The Hinata and Boruto path had potential, but it hasn’t progressed in a meaningful way in over a year.

Right now, this just feels like a polished tease with okay use of AI. It constantly hints at something deeper or more exciting, but never delivers. Maybe it will evolve into something worthwhile after a couple more years of updates, but so far, I haven’t enjoyed a single update since that first promising impression.

This is by far the best AI cg game I've ever played. Usually AI cg games tend to be flat, with similar art and angles every time. This game manages to make dynamic angles that make me forget that it's AI sometimes.

It does have some little quirks in animations, but I felt like they got better over time. The story is okay, with two branching paths of love/evil. Lots of foot fetish content which is nice.

the game isnt much fun, just a tease show imo, paths are entangled, you often dont know what needs to be done to unlock scenes, their discord punishes people who ask about new release so they actually gave me solid reason not to support on SS even if i wanted to, well im happy to oblige, all images are AI generated some of them are good but its normal when you using so much of them they will differ from each other and wont correlate with clothing for example
sometimes you will see locked options as ??? and sometimes you wont so it forces you to replay everything to check if you checked everything twice, the options you took dont change colors
walkthru is so messy i dont even want to read it
massive blueballing except for NTR lovers thats the only group that is getting good content all others are just being teased

Lot of nice ai pictures but also a lot of WIP and some paywall.

There are games that would work even without h-content, this game wouldn't.

The characters are nice and thats the strong part.
If you like the art you will like the game, because the art is the game.
Story is bland and points system is somewhat useless right now.
Respect and Love do pretty much the same.
Dominance and Hatred do pretty much the same.

Using a tool to edit the values to give yourself stats/money is highly recommended.

The writing is fine but since its all AI art most of the h-scenes feel like scrolling trough a r34 page and reading one of the fantasizing essays in the comments.
The common theme is there but the puzzle pieces dont fit together.


Would recommend to download and check out as much content as possible for a short while to see whether its your cup of tea. And after that wait for the final/completed/abandoned version to avoid all the dead ends.

tldr:
Great ai art gallery of beloved characters
decent writing,
questionable developmentprocess

Ai CG is used well usually not a fan but they did a good job keeping it looking consistent and the content is very enjoyable. Only downside is lack of content (not as in there isn't Alot already) just as in Alot of the content currently in the game is teasing and some nudity. You get to flash a girl here a handjob there but it's lacking the next level up above that but once it's added there will be few complaints besides grinding out money

House of Shinobi [v0.18j]

Usually hate sandbox stuff and avoid projects with them like the plague. Don't really watch anime (had my short-lived phase long ago), have absolutely no real knowledge of Naruto and never watched it so know nothing of the lore and characters...yet this game slaps, I love it.

If you're after something with darker fetishes/kinks, this is a must play. The AI CG art is actually really good too, looks super legit. It's made me realize to get off my high horse and not immediately dismiss a project with AI CG, now.

- Not a single bad looking female character in this game, they are all super sexy. Baruto, (son of Naruto) the MC has quite a fair amount of agency to him, theres plenty of choices and paths to take which I am a massive fan of.

- I love when you, as the player, are given a fair amount of input and control on how the MC reacts to scenarios/character interactions. Especially when someone is being a complete cunt (looking at the younger sis of Baruto, because of course she is) and you can actually call them out on it. Seems there will be some promising punishment options for her in the future which gets me quite excited for. I am not interested in pushover protagonists in the slightest, which thankfully there's none of that in House of Shinobi if you so choose.

- The music and sound is quite nice and adds atmosphere to the world and story.

- Writing, dialogue and grammar is all pretty well done which is still sadly quite rare to see.


Only cons for me really, would be - the big amount of WIP stuff you can't do yet, as well as the grindy sandbox shit. This game would be top tier for me personally if it just scrapped the grindy sandbox elements all together, because the characters and story are really good but that shit just always gets in the way. I want a visual NOVEL, not a grindy porn game where I see repeated content over, and over and over. Personal preference of course, it's not the worst sandbox I've experienced to it's credit.

Super excited to follow this project and wish the developer best of luck. Please don't abandon....

You play as Naruto’s son Boruto in this excellent porn parody. While I was never a huge fan of Naruto, I found the narratives very well crafted and executed regardless of your knowledge of the source material. (The blind food tasting with Himawari is fucking genius!) The artwork (AI generated or not) is excellent.

The game lets you take at least two different paths with very different types of content: Hatred (full demon mode, which is really, really dark) or Love. There is also a third path, or at least, a variation of Love, which is Dominance (the way I played.) It might also be possible to play ”submissive” (negative Dominance), at least vs certain chicks.

I was very impressed by the game and will follow the development with great interest! It really only has two (maybe three) flaws in my book;

• Since it’s quite early in development, it feels more like a very lengthy demo than a full game. Just like a really good striptease it leaves you frustrated and annoyed at the end.
• It is too plot driven for my tastes (I’m a ”Lab Rats 2” guy.) The ”free roam” feature does not get a chance to shine, perhaps due to the lack of content at this point.
• The third ”flaw” is purely speculative; I doubt that pregnancy can become a satisfying (and repeatable) feature considering the way the game is structured. However, with the power of AI image generation, perhaps…

Of course, it could become even better if there were dogs involved too. Oh, and I turned off ”optional netorare”; NTR is not my thing.

Anyway, I became a subscriber on SubscribeStar. Keep it up now!

House of shinobi [v0.17d]

Those preview pics don't do the justice to the game. I thought this one's a half baked parody ai cg game of Naruto. This one proved me wrong. Visuals are good. You can say dev crafted it well with suitable music and sound effects. This one's not a vanilla game don't worry NTR is optional and you can turn it off in the beginning. ( I'm writing this review before completely playing this. I'm at the point after first tsunade scene). Scenes are steamy. You play as Boruto you can change name if you want. You can dominate all the women and do totally pervy shits. You can increase hatred towards them and do more darker things. If you are looking for a vanilla game. This one's not for you. Can't say anything about the romance path. Probably that will be a shorter path I think. I will update this after completely playing this. If you are tired of playing vanilla games and looking for a game where you can be totally evil and dominating this one's for you.

Keep up the good work dev looking forward to next updates. May be it would be much better if you post more preview pics

It is rare to find such a good game made with AI CG.
The renders style are not all different from each other (except for Ino at the beginning)
The minigames are okay, but

• The sports one is kinda hard with a trackpad, the mouse tend to run away and click things it shouldn't be clicking (buttons at the bottom of the screen or the close button
• The cooking one takes a lot of time. Instead of Shift timer power-ups, having a power up that lowers the maximum amount of arrows in a sequence and/or augmenting the number of lives would be better

Code change:
Concerning the money gained from the cooking minigames would be a better way to calculate it, in case someone has a score of more than 10k (which will become necessary when more expensive items will come out)

nice game. unlike most renpy games, this actually has relevant choices as you decide how manipulative or evil you want the mc to be. there's a free roam aspect where you can train, work part time, and just look for scenes. there's a few simple minigames to tie in with the training and part time job aspect. even if you're an AI art hater, I'd still give this one a chance. Just don't be dissuaded by some of the earlier scenes as the dev even acknowledges they're not up to par with the rest of the game and will need to be redone or scrapped at some point.

One of the very few games i actually enjoy the story and art style. Very engaging and keep coming back for more.

I thought ai cg would put me off from it but its done correctly. Im enjoying it a lot.

It's great just minus early production stage of ai cg art thingy, this is the first ai cg tag game i do really enjoy, because it's like Goodbye eternity where choices really matter or has effect on your future progress at least that's what i experienced when playing it. Love it, and highly reccommend to play it even though it's still early.

So the high rating for this game got me intrigued to try. AI art and a Naruto game with a high rating are both rarities so my interest was peaked. It sadly did not live up to its rating.
Now the positives are quite simply the sex scenes they are animated well and give some variation to how you play boruto. So that is a huge positive and the other positive would be that the open world is easy to navigate and not to complicated.

The negatives
There are many

The First negative that screams out is the "parody" aspect. Nothing is a parody of any of the charchters in this game non of the Naruto shinbo act anything like there counter parts, it is a really weird decison to do a parody of something but keep nothing alike to the charchters except their looks. Like why not just do original charchters than or is it really just that shallow as to they look like the charchters so fuck it.

The second negative is the grindy minigames, minigames are fine in a porn game if they aren't to annoying both of the minigames are annoying. being paid 30 bucks for work when most shit cost at least 100 is retarded.
Having me workout 10 to achieve one level of strenght is not fun and will never be fun.

The third negative is similar to the first negative, the dialogue feels off mainly because its so random. Like having boruto be like hey you fat piece of shit to a guy he wants a job with is so strange. and more of this dialogue persist through the game.

Lastly the allusion of choice is quiet annoying when it comes to avoidable ntr. No one who wants to avoid should have the quest thrown in there face every 7th day. but that's the problem with doing ntr and non ntr game in one it becomes a constant balancing act.

So ultimately I was disappointed.

has truly great potential.

i am not usually into AI art.. but this game has a solid story, different characters, several branching paths, i loved it!

however, it needs ALOT of time to cook. cause theres no sex past the intro.. which sucks. as i wanna actually progress on the hatred path and fuck as many asses as i can, eat em, breed em xD

i hope the developers speed with updates is faster, considering AI is used. this could be a great game. just need repeatable scenes thats none reliant of a gallery, only through gameplay. and tons of variety, some being ass play and anal stuff
