VN - Ren'Py - How to Fix the Future [v0.4] [mr.moonmi]

Honestly, this one hooked me from the very start, way more than I expected. I’ve been playing since the intro dropped, and it just keeps getting better with every update. It starts painfully ordinary: retail job, late-night gaming, same old grind. Then mysterious game disks start showing up around the world, and two strange agents from the future basically kick down the door to your boring life. One minute you’re just some guy stocking shelves, the next you’re tangled in time travel, conspiracies, and stakes so huge your old problems feel like a bad joke.

From there, it ramps into a wild, time-bending adventure that somehow stays grounded because the characters feel real. It’s not your generic “save the world” plot, there are clever twists, a fresh spin on time travel, and actual consequences to your choices. Tiny decisions ripple through the story in ways that make you want to replay just to see the differences. It’s not a “click and watch” VN; you’re actually shaping how scenes play out, how people react to you, and how the whole thing unfolds.

The balance is great too, yeah, there’s adult content, but it never drowns out the plot. The sci-fi and character interactions are what keep you wanting more. The pacing leans toward slow-burn worldbuilding, which makes the payoffs hit harder.

Visually, it’s stunning. The renders are top-tier, the animations get smoother every update, and some scenes are cinematic enough to make you pause just to appreciate the lighting. Every character feels distinct, with their own quirks and style. The dev clearly cares about polish: the UI overhaul, replay gallery with hidden-scene checkboxes, lore glossary, save naming, and even little details like customizing pet names in intimate scenes, all of it shows how much love is going into the game.

Some people say the pacing is slow, but I think that’s the point. The build-up gives weight to the story, and the dialogue feels natural instead of filler. The romance options are varied, with plenty of different paths and personalities to explore, keeping things fresh.

If you’re into story-driven games with meaningful choices, high production value, and a mix of sci-fi stakes with character-driven moments, this one’s a must-play. I’m already impatient for the next update, it’s shaping up to be something special.

Interesting early story line misdirect that makes it even more interesting the story premise, customizable kinks, excellent character design (some are a bit generic but good) and excellent animations. Totally Worth playing especially if you are into sci-fi with adult twists, really liked the nice spread story line that is long, but it felt worth the time spent, some kinks are a bit off, but easily avoidable by choices that are taken.

Hope the continue this great work, wish them the best. 10/10

One of the best . Looks amazing
One of the best Graphics of any VN i ever played.
Good story.
I like that you can choose non vanila stuff.
Finaly a scene with Daisy.
Curios about next update.
I recomand this.

An excellent story that will appeal to a wide audience with its kinks.

Starting with the smut, this game hits all of the beats. You have the childhood friend option, the bad bitch, the wholesome new girl, and more. Characters in the game will also ask you some pretty obvious questions that will define how they interact with you—whether you’re submissive, dominant, versatile, okay with trans or lesbian content, hate a character even while you’re fucking them, etc. The dialogue forking in this game is very ambitious and allows you a lot of control over the main character's personality and relationships.

In terms of the overarching story, I’m loving How To Fix The Future. It’s a twist on a classic save-the-world time travel story. Where the game is at right now (v0.4), we’re only just getting into the juicy bits of it, and I’m excited and hopeful that we're seeing the future tech play a bigger part in the story. The storytelling offers an engaging balance of thrill, sexiness, and gravitas in a dystopian setting. The pacing is solid with very little filler, and the graphics that accompany the story are all stunning and high quality.

The only complaint I can even think of for this game is that its production quality means it takes so long between updates while I'm always left wanting more. When that’s the only negative I can think of, I have no choice but to give a game a well-deserved 5 stars.

v0.4

There is a reason so few stories have premise like this. It takes huge amount of work to build world lore, fitting story and make it all work on coherent order. In this kind of stories, the idea that the story jumps wherever author likes this time, just does not work.
Story does end up going everywhere and nowhere. It is missing a central thread to follow. Something that makes reader have somewhat of an idea of what could happen next.

There are few moments here and there when you feel that "there might be a good story here". But sadly there is also way too many awkward, weird and immature conversations to take you out of it. Top of all this, writing on the sex scenes was extra awkward. The game just looks so good... So I really did try to get absorbed in the story. But in the end, there was always next retarded line, just behind the corner to take me out of it. Adults just don´t talk like this.

Only thing this game has really going on is the visuals and good sex scenes. Sadly i didn´t care about the characters and the dialogue quality on sex scenes was too bad to read. So only thing left is the visual quality.
Nice bonus is that the game has lots of extreme fetishes. Could be worth playing just for those.

This game is like an idea of a gay dude that wants so bad to make a straight protagonist to become submissive piece of shit, straight up loser or just an asshole in general.

Good thing in this game is renders, very nice skin tone and palette, from dark skin tone to fair skin, not blurry or grainy, the dev did a good job on this one. While this game got good renders the sex animation is lacking in fluidity, it feels like I'm watching two robot fucking each other, it is gradually improving by each chapter but not enough in my opinion, the sex animation does not match up with this high quality of render.

Story is somewhat good to bad, there is some tropes that is been recycled like a character being annoying to having crush on the other character or character being a sex hungry maniac that no need of dialogue to fuck her. Another bad thing is MC feels like I'm on a POV of him and watching other characters that outshine him.

Characters and LI's is nicely done and their model is good too but I got a problem with some of them.

1. First one is I don't know why Dahlia's character is just "trans" whole personality, in the world that all humans is on brink of extinction, there is transphobe problem but no racist which is imperfect storytelling, like how can you make a story that the only flaws of the remaining of the world is only a crazy dude that will shout faggot but they got no problem with different people color with different ethnic background with different culture, and in real life not all culture accepts trans, story is too damn ridiculous that I only laugh at this point. Dev wants to highlight a real life problem while pretending that there is no other problem exist.
2. Octavia, for a game that deals discrimination, Octavia is the best representation of discriminatory character, because for a human with knowledge like her, she is sexist and misandrist, not only she plays a effective leader but behind her mask is a hypocrite fascist power hungry elite that we've seen in today's politicians, she's a hypocrite for getting help from a man which is the MC then shout nonsense like women is the best/strongest yada yada etc etc. For a "smart" leader like her she doesn't know why men and women compliment each other weaknesses.
3. Lastly is BJ, sorry to say this but BJ is just a token character that I feel like a white person is behind of this character design, looking at BJ feels like "oh the dev got white savior mentality".

Game got wasted nice premise, not a fuckfest but cringefest of long dialogue and slowburn story. You can remove the sex part of this game and it just become average visual novel.

I give this game maximum points. Graphic quality is very good. Game play is excellent. Story is amazing. Girls are so sexy. I am looking for the next part of this game. Unfortunately the update of the good games come after long delays.
EXCELLENT GAME.

Yet another Engrish game. I don't get why devs take all this time and effort to make a game, then ruin it with terrible writing and grammar. AI would do a better job than this, and there are also so many tools these days, free grammar checkers, as well as people willing to proofread content. It's a shame really because the premise for the story is pretty good. The models are ok , MCs penis even has a decent model and doesn't look like a stepped on sausage.

Now back to the story. Why say 10 words when you can say 100 or maybe 500? Just read the overview on the main page and you'll get a rough idea what I am talking about. And there is a lot of story, and it goes on and on, often repeating the same substance, in a different way, over and over.

Sex scenes that I saw early on are 4/10 at best, very wooden. They might get better later but I got bored trying to read the story and gave up. Probably a decent game hidden somewhere in all the rubbish, or if you don't mind skipping just to get to the sex scenes.

I didn't play through all of this but it just wasn't working for me. I found the premise and setting kind of silly and didn't like any of the characters (including the MC) very much. Ultimately I decided that I didn't particularly want to save *this* world enough to keep going. The art is good and the Lis are pretty, and other people really seem to enjoy it but in the end, all I wanted was for the MC to abandon the mission and go back home.

One of top tier games

Pros:
Great Art
Nice story
Good character writing
Verious fetishes

Cons:
No INCEST (this one thing made the game lose 2 stars

I mean if it was some normal games that's fine but it was teased(atleast I felt it) that there will be incest and bam, it's gone.

This is one excellent game in every way you want to measure it. The story is interesting, with well built characters, an interesting take on the world building, and choices that seem to matter in the right places. There are lots of characters but I like the way in which they are all built to have something interesting to add to the overall story. English is pretty decent even though it has some minor mistakes here and there.

Render quality and character models are great, and there are even some pretty good angles and poses that make it a compelling visual storytelling game. Animations are very well done as well, even the complicated ones (like dancing). There is music but I turned it off, and I don't recall there being sounds. And so far I haven't run into any bugs.

So, all in all, it's definitely a game worth your time.

I really like it! Everything is there even if it is not finished it will be a 5.
Impressed by the image quality, the aesthetics, the humor, the theme.
Honestly everything is there (a little more choice in the scenes and the replays).
I am not asking for a Harem at all but maybe a little more possibilities because in the end he is the Chosen One ^^
The girls are very successful, Evangeline's lookalike Lyllie Bravo!
This game has everything to make a SAGA that lasts and lasts and deserves sequels. The MC is not a pure idiot at all
THE mix of genres is there and frankly the ergonomics are interesting.
Beautiful ambitious game.
Personally I am very attached to the quality of the characters because an AVN must allow the reader to become attached to the characters and immerse themselves in the story. Undeniably successful choice including in the details: hairiness, humor, orientations, deviances ....., genres: MILF, trans, girls ...
It's been a long time since I was so carried away since BADIK, Artemis, Chasing Sunset ...
I hear the criticisms but if we want more we have to transform this AVN into an MMO and there I am ready! On the other hand I do not know that we can give a score of 1/2 or 3 to an AVN like this one!
It is without problem in my watchlist for 2025.

Well, this will be my first review on this site because i'm really impressed with this game.
-Quality renders
-Interesting characters
-Plenty of fetishes
-Plenty of action
-Doesnt force you to play 10 times to unlock everything
Cant think of anything bad tbh. A decent written harem route would make this 11/10.

Extremely promising game. Great interesting characters (including an MC with an actual personality), loads of fetishes for anyone into it, and not to mention insanely high-quality renders and animations. I appreciate that the story has not devolved into a fuckfest, and we get real depth among some of the girls and their backstories.

Absolutely worth playing!

Excellent, I have played hundreds of games and without a doubt it is one of the best, the plot is interesting and different, the characters are well written and with personality, maybe sometimes they seem to be all bipolar but only that. Incredible animations, one of the best I've seen and improving as the game progresses.

10/10

This is such an amazing game, it has quickly become one of my favorites on this website. The art is perfect, the world building very well thought out, the storyline is kind of mysterious right now but it's looking interesting and the characters are very interesting.

Hope even more fetishes keep appearing, especially femdom related, I'd love to see the MC rimming those girls asses!

So far, the game looks good.

- Story: It seems that we're half way (apparently), but, so far, it's interesting enough to keep me engaged. The writing was good as well.

- Characters: Loved the girls, Cathy was my favourite, but they're all great. Also they look good, nice designs (especially Liu, Chloe and Daisy xD). About MC, he's ok, nothing great but good enough.

- Renders: Overall they're great. Game looks beautiful.

- Animations: Great as well. Especially in late episodes.

- Music: Nice tunes.

- Others: I like that we can choose whether we want to see or not certain fetishes content.

So, this game looks great, however, I think it has two main issues. First, the story is progressing a bit too slow which makes me think that we probably will never see its end (not that this is important for my rating since I rate for what I have played, it's just a fear). Second, the game was designed with a
"Points System", however, when starting the game the developer himself mentions in a screen about "how to play the game" that they don't matter and I was like "What!?", that's not a good sign. Anyway, I'd give it an 8/10, I had fun so far and it's worth checking out.

I was quite surprised at the virulence of some of the recent bad reviews for this game. Personally, I think the art is excellent, the models are hot (even the differently proportioned and characterized ones, like Olga and Octavia) , and the story is wonderfully immersive-- quirky, different, erotic.

I mean, you've got what, 8 or so females of varying degrees of hotness cooped up with the MC (imperfectly human but quite bearable), one of the girls' brother and a black man in a wheelchair. The fact that they have intricate intimacy puzzles is a plus!!

Dystopian sci-fi story to bind it all together: I am truly stumped at those who trashed it. Maybe because there's a believable trans character? Who knows.
But anyway -- It's really good! Thanks, dev!

How to Fix the Future [v0.3.2] (by mr.moonmi)

Okay, I'm not one to criticize VNs critically, but this one became controversial after this update which I completely understand. Now the reason why I'm not giving this game a 1/5 is because I feel that's quite too critical. I like to look at these games from all perspectives and what I believe is the intended audience. I'll get the good points out first...

THE GOOD:

- This game has a somewhat unique story compared to most other games out there. The protagonist traveling to a dystopian future and he's the chosen one. Some games did that plot already and only a minuscule has done it really well. But, what does set this one apart is that it seems the protagonist has two main ways of dealing with the enemy. He can be heroic or a take more sadistic route. Will it evolve further? We'll see.

- The Character designs are really well done and have a diverse cast. Each have a unique personality with there own nuances on the way they speak. That's really tough to do.

- The Ambience is also a highlight of the game. I can tell that the developer has paid careful attention on the assets and the lighting. The lighting is usually a make or break for developers. You can have beautiful characters but if the lighting is non-existent, everything falls flat. This developer did a great job.

Now... this is the tough part...

THE BAD: SPOILERS AHEAD


FINAL WORDS:

I just want to clarify that I respect every creator's story. I don't want Mr. Moonmi to deviate from his original vision, but the reason why I decided to review this game so critically is to advise others and for the developer to take note from this incident. The lesson? When people see "NO NTR" in the description; They believe that there's absolutely no attraction between anyone other than the MC and his potential love interests. In other words, only the MC can be paired off with someone and the others are forever alone.

The game is good overall, I just personally feel that THE sensitive topic wasn't delt with proficiently for the audience I believe it was intended for.

{3.5/5 stars}
- It's not quite a 4 in my eyes, but it can get there.

This game is awful,

Good quality renders with decent skin quality. Terrible writing - not engrish but like a preteen came up with the lines, terrible plot and badly tagged. This is thinly veiled gay porn with no feminine straight women, tags dont reflect that. Can't avoid bad fetishes. Animations are super disjointed since they stop on a modal window to choose action and everything is mercifully covered

I'm very suspicious about a number of the other reviews giving fake 5 star ratings - even the ones saying it's bad give 5 stars?
