VN - Ren'Py - I Was a Teenage Vampire Rebuild [v0.7.1] [FatalMasterpiece]

A nice game. Not a bad story, original visual style, well-written characters and situations. Definitely worth a look. The only downside is a certain lack of real choice, hopefully for now. You can watch a scene, you can skip it, but it doesn't really affect the story yet.

Excellent art and visuals. Compared to majority of games here. This kinda feels like art if you just compared it visually.

Honestly, my only complain so far is the sex scenes. I like that we have sex scenes this early but I can't help but be annoyed for giving choices during the intercourses only for those choices to be practically useless and weird. Like it was supposed to be just camera angles but it just feels out of place ngl. I wish the choices were reserved for potential other scenes or positions instead but oh well.

I will be looking forward for more

I love characters - they are good, each has its own problems and history, they're believable. I also love setting - 80s is one of my favorite. I like the story - its good. Can't say I like sex scenes a lot - they are short and there are lots of text between them. So they do not feel like a main dish, but rather a cherry on top.

This was a surprising discovery for me. The setting, time period, art style and overall story was very enjoyable.

The sex scenes were hot on paper, but the animations didn't run smoothly and were lacking. Honestly, for me, the sex scenes don't have to be technically advanced, as long as they're hot.

I approve of the remake into Ren'Py. I didn't play the Unity version, but Ren'Py is a better choice. Visual novels, on average, are better experiences than sandbox games, and honestly, the game still had a pleasant amount of choice and different orders in which you could do things.

I look forward to the next update.

Thoughts on v0.7.1

Decided to take a chance on this one based on the unique art style. This was my first time playing the game; I had never played the Unity version.

Off the bat I really enjoyed the tone and setup of the game. Classic 80s cheesy horror/vampire movie vibes with a good set of characters and design. I am a big fan of this art style: its refreshing and has quality, despite the retro look. At first glance it seems like things might be too blurry, but after playing the current build I had no trouble with it.

I am not exactly sure why the game got ported to Ren'Py. However that's usually that's a good thing, and it probably made sense here. Gameplay is very standard visual novel with choice-based exploration, and all scenes/routes seem to be fully optional too, which is a plus.

The story so far is simple and intriguing. There's the main plot slowly building that has something to do with vampires (shocker), but there are a fairly good amount of character related subplots and stories as well. It is a bit run of the mill in terms of high school plots that this site gets flooded with, but I'm hoping things take a twist as the vampire stuff starts ramping up.

The characters in the game are well-written, albeit following classic tropes again. I give it a pass considering this is supposed to be a parody of those 80s flicks. The LIs are varied and all have their own charm/persona, so I'm sure many will have a character or two to enjoy.

In terms of adult content, this rebuild has a good chunk. I'd say the quality is slightly above average: certainly not mind blowing, but pretty decent with a variety of angles. There is room for improvement definitely, but I think even in this rebuild the increase in animation quality was noticeable as the game progressed. Also future scenes could definitely use more variety, something to keep in mind.

Overall, I am very excited to see where this game goes. There is a lot of quality stuff in here with a lot of potential, but also some room for growth. I definitely want more people experiencing and becoming fans of this game, so while I am giving this 4 stars, my fantano-style score is a strong 4 to light 5. Good luck dev! (Also Clarissa best girl)
