VN - Ren'Py - Onhold - In a Scent [Ep. 4 Part 1 v1.035] [Domiek]

Freakin Amazing!
Its been a while since I've played something that has such good humor filled writing and yet doesn't make the story obselete while doing that. The characters all have their own persona and the overall plot is something that has great potential.
On the technical note, the models look amazing, there was no need for animations but they are there as well, and overall the flow of the story makes me not want to pause and experience it all.
Loved every minute of this one, Good Stuff!

I think that, in addition to the scenes, dialogues, situations and the entire narrative in general being extremely high quality and captivating to play, a very important fact that made me come here and give 5 stars to this game is the that the protagonist is extremely fun. The facial expressions, jokes, the way he handles things, brought me an honest laugh in several situations, which is a very welcome uniqueness compared to many other games that leave the protagonist's personality aside.

Reviewing In a Scent v1.03b

The core of the premise is pretty solid, but a few minutes into this game I was tempted to close it and forget about it. The MC isn't a character I typically enjoy; however the art is very impressive, so I stuck with it. I'm glad I did.
I'm not sure if I became desensitized to the idiocy of the protagonist and unrealistic reactions of the other characters, or if the MC became a little bit less of a douche occassionally as the story moves forward, but it was probably both. He's basically a spoiled NEET incubus, so he's not really supposed to be likeable or very relatable, so I give the dev credit for writing such a bitch-ass loser as an unlikeable character, but not totally detestable. It gives him room for character growth. That said, the characters responses to his outlandish, stupid, selfish, and creepy behavior is harder to understand, particularly early in the story. If there was a touch more realism to other characters' reactions, I would have been able to suspend my disbelief a little better, even though the writer gave himself a crutch with the whole incubus magic plot device. Still not sure if that explains the shared-hallucination candles, but at least that was a creative tool for introducing some new scenery with minimal overhead.
The writing is very good with almost no noticeable grammar mistakes and good pacing. The dialogue shows that that it's clearly written by someone who knows how native English speakers talk (probably American), so you won't feel like the characters should be named Мам, Ра́я, Селена, and Игорь. If you're an English learner, that probably doesn't matter to you, but for me, it's always nice. Now, I can't say I'm a big fan of the sense of humor in the game, but there is humor that probably a lot of people enjoy, more so if you're under 25 years old. And I won't lie and pretend that I didn't laugh out loud a couple times, and puffed air out of my nose a few more. If someone told me that Domiek had previously been head writer on Two and a Half Men, I'd not bat an eye. It's much better writing than AVN readers are used to, but it's mostly low-brow stuff with rare hints at realism and depth.
Back to the graphics, the game looks damn good. There's a little bit of variety of body types, but big beautiful asses are the focus, and they're *chef's kiss*. I was impressed how the MILF characters managed to look their age and still look good. Many devs that want to make a MILF, create a curvy 27 year old and just insinuate that she's in her 40's, but these girls are believably MILFs. The man of the house looks (and acts) like the middle-aged suburban schlub that he's meant to be. The "half-sister" character is undoubtedly my favorite in both personality and model, and I'm generally anti-redhead (blasphemy, I know). The facial expressions of the characters are consistent with the emotion that's conveyed in the dialogue and are only over-the-top when played for laughs. I loved that the characters and environments are new and unique, not something I've seen recycled in a dozen other games before. The animations are very good. Seriously, some of the best animations you'll find in an AVN. They're smooth and enticing with better consideration to physics than most.
The strangest thing I found with the visuals in the game is the MC himself, but I don't think it was a bad thing. I don't know how and I'm not even sure if it's just in my head, but in different scenes he shifts between looking almost fit or having a fairly doughy physique. Again, it might have been my imagination, but in scenes where he was being an ass or an idiot failing at everything, he looked like he should lose 15 pounds. When he was making progress with the girls, he looked rather fit. It was something that made me compare images, but I couldn't find anything definitive. Either the dev did a great job with a model that's easy to perceive as more or less competent in different scenes, or he made incredibly subtle changes and carefully posed him in scenes to make sure he appeared that way. I'm impressed either way.

I'd give this a 4.5 if possible because the humor wasn't really up my alley most of the time and the reactions to the moronic and/or perverted behavior of the MC felt a little too unbelievable, even in the context of seduction magic. It gets a 5 because the writing is quite a lot better than most and the artwork is top tier.

Pretty nice animations and models. MC its annoying af but the game keeps rolling and getting better. Also has some interesting "long" videos with smooth movements. Even the music is good. Recommended.

The renders are very good, and some of the animations look like they took a huge amount of effort.

The story is ridiculous and requires significant suspension of disbelief. The premise could have been used in a better way in my view. The basic issue is that the main character is absolutely clueless and no actual human being would react to him in the way that the character do in this. But you can probably overlook that, especially if you have a sense of humour that meshes with this.

This game may not have the best story, but what makes this game good is the beautiful renders, animations, music and most importantly.. it is funny as hell! This game cured me of depression. My favorite character so far is Selene. She is a naughty pervert and I love it. If you wanna laugh and grow a 6-pack in no time because of the laughs, then I can recommend this game!

There are a lot of VN's on this site, but this one shows the effort behind it.
Great looking models, the MC has a cheat code but the story is paced well because of it - but it's a porn game so I don't care about it too much.
There are animations and multiple camera angles during the sex scenes. Well done Dev (Please go and sponsor them, this kind of effort needs to be rewarded).
The story builds up tensions and breaks them with ease but never feels rushed. There are a few things hinted at in the story that I am waiting for - perhaps in future updates.
I will change the review based on future playthroughs.

Story:

You play spoiled and lazy incubus, who is kicked out of his house by his father who tasks him to seduce women to prove his worth. You meet a random family, and somehow convince them that you’re a long lost son and move in.

The premise is nonsensical, as is the entire plot really, but that’s by choice. The game tries to play out like an absurd comedy, and your enjoyment will largely depend on how much that lands for you. Comedy is highly subjective so its entirely possible that the game will crack you up. For me, it just didn’t do enough to justify what it gives up to be funny.

For the sake of humor, the protagonist is a complete and utter moron, as everything revolves around him being an incapable man-child. For me, that not only made me dislike the MC, but hurt any attempts at chemistry with the LIs. I’ve always thought magic powers were a cheap substitute for actual relationship development and it’s no different here. The MC can act like an idiot that no sane women would ever fall for, but we’re supposed to accept they all do because he’s an incubus.

Gameplay:

It’s a choice driven VN where the choices seem to matter very little. You get a couple different outcomes immediately after some choices, but everything seems to play out mostly the same. I enjoy games like this personally, but don’t expect a game of actual consequence, at least so far.

Presentation:

This is where the game shines, the renders are very good, and the animations are some of the best you’ll find. Ma’s big ol ass gets a special shoutout. The music doesn’t stand out too much, but it does its job at setting the mood just fine.

Conclusion:

Like I said in the beginning, your enjoyment will probably depend on how much you like this style of comedy. But regardless, this is a great looking game with a whole lot of ass, so you can’t go too wrong with it.

This game is for sure one in a million. The writing is fun , not tedious and actually enjoyable. The character models are hot as fuck, and the scenes have everything. Juicy buildup and some high quality animations, definitely worth the play.

The game has got some very good humor and lots of laughing moments. The MC is peak of self love and confidence . The writing is good and so are the renders and animations. The pace of story has been perfect .

It's best

I'm not exaggerating

First of all, the character design and rendering are great
It has great body details such as pimples, skin tone, and blemishes

I wonder if there is a professional animator
The animation inserted is of very good quality.

This game even has humor
I'm really looking forward to the future

5 out of 5. Game has so much potential. Coming from a creator that has already completed a game in the past which may seem like nothing but is very rare with creators. I will be subscribing on Patreon asap.

really impressed with this update. Renders are high quality and a great style. The animations in my opinion far surpass anything I’ve seen so far on F95zone. Humor is there, storyline there game has everything it needs.

please keep up with it Domiek I think you will become very popular, very soon if you stick at it, especially after this update.

the most beautiful game that i have played ever yet, please do the future updates as soon as possible im eagerly waiting for this wonderful games updates, the graphics and animations are extremely perfect and has good going storyline. all the character workers are extremely good. i have become a diehard fan of the creator, kudos to the creator, a well executed animation, story and characters....... lots of love to the game.

The writing is a bit too over the top for me, but still bearable and the rest of the game is top notch. Especially the models as they dont look like the stock models ripped from the blender store like you find in so many other games.

From each and eveyone update it get bigger and better , mostly think it the most beautiful renders i ever seen after The Visit . The humor was good, some situation make me laugh hard ( absolutely rare thing for that kind of games) . Just keep it up !

Well wouldn't say these are best renders I have ever seen on this site. They look a bit like faded photographs, but it is a unique style.
The female models are nice though and there is something for everyone - unless you are into blondes (until now at least).
About the music, it is there, it is mostly stuff you don't hear everywhere, a bit on the rudimentary side and most of the time it is fitting.

So is it my favourite porn game here? Naw, porn wise it is a bit underwhelming to be honest.
But hell this story and those dialogues. I am constantly laughing - hard. This is easy the funniest thing I have ever played here - no kidding. If there are any woke or easily offended people here (Even on a pirate site mostly for porn games, I know) some jokes would be considered insulting by some snowflakes - just a fair warning.
I don't know it the choices really matter, but who cares as long as you have fun, right?

I absolutely love it. Give this one a try!

I give five out of five. Very good graphics, excellent animation, I hope the authors will not abandon this project and will release updates more often. I would like to see a more branched plot and more varied and lengthy explicit scenes.

Damn this game is good. When I started playing, was a bit apprehensive with the jerk MC , but I am glad I didn't give up.
It got so much better soon!! Great story, hilarious dialogues and top characters (even Gary )
This is a gem and after playing I just realized that the same dev made Personal trainer, so quality is expected.
Sure shot 5 stars and I am subscribing on Patreon.

One of the best game i've ever played.
The story is simple but interesting, top tier model, good animation, characters with a bit of deep feelings and personality.
The best part is that the game is funny, you can enjoy it also in non-hot moments. A must play

Came looking for copper and I foudn gold!
This game is really hilarious!
For a moment I was weirded by the looks of the main character, or the fact that he is messing with a family and there is the cheating as well; but it's all done really well and I lost the count of laughs I gave playing this.
