VN - Ren'Py - In for a Penny [v0.64] [Moist Sponge Productions]

Funny game. Enough lewd scenes to make it worth the read. Dev has a strong sense of where he wants to take the story. Just needs some typo fixes. But I've offered help with that. Hopefully the dev is willing to accept the help.

Wasn´t so dissapointed in a long time.

The game has a perfect concept for a good sandbox game, fuck 40 woman because the aliens chose you for it. But sadly this game isn´t a sandbox it´s a linear kinetic novel with a annoyingly passiv MC and girls who I didn´t care about because I can´t remember 40+ character which randomly appear in a sandbox this would be solved because you could chose which girls story you want to follow.

But even without a sandbox or a good MC it could have been good but the story gets worse and worse, the sex scenes are far too little and when there is one they are boring and have bad animation.

The models also look just boring, I don´t mind the massive dick or breasts because it is explained in the story with the body alteration (even if the veins on the dick look very ugly).

There is no music except in the menu which makes everything feel even more boring.

The dialogue is very badly written and sometimes hard to read because there is no black background or anything behind the text which is just bad for the eyes.


It had a lot of potential but instead became a game which I will soon forget.

The action takes place in a science fiction setting. There would be nothing wrong with that, if it weren't for the plot. The plot is frankly boring, it is not able to captivate, to interest the reader (yes, this is not a game, it is a visual novel). I spent about two hours on this VN. And those two hours were cut out of my life.
Aside from the plot, the main flaws for me are:
- Lack of gameplay;
- prohibitively giant breasts on the women. BBW is not my fetish, I don't mind when one to two characters with large breasts are glimpsed in a game or VN, but here the author just lost touch with reality. It only leads to having to fight a strong sense of disgust when viewing the renders of this VN. Yes, I remember it's SF, but some unfortunate assumptions turn the developer's labor into ashes.
However, the same applies to outrageously large penises. At times, the suspicion that the artist (or the developer) never saw big-breasted women in real life creeps in, throwing up some body physics issues.
In my humble opinion, this VN by its level can only interest teenagers suffering from spermotoxicosis.
What are the good points? For me, there are none. Alas, my assessment of this VN is one point + aimlessly wasted time.

v.0.42

off the bat i have to say...er...write that i like the plot. i do not come for the sex. i know, mad right?

to be honest massive boobs and genitals, regardless of plot, just not my thing. if it floats ya boat good on ya. so the art i am half yes and half no.

the plot is the hook for me and is great, sadly it does not have the best writer and has never been proof read. even now with sizable content there are still writing errors from the get go. it is now at a point where a spell-checker may actually blow up.
BUT, the story as a whole i like so plot yes, but dialogue no.

the only other thing that really pulls this down is that it is a kinetic novel on renpy and it STILL has errors. i have not ever seen that before. one whole choice playing from beginning to current end yet twice it hit an error due to poor programming, and not at all during the choice. the mind boggles

so i have given this a slightly inflated 3 star due to the novle side of things (yes that was intentional) because i like it, i just wish the dev would give it a bit more respect

I had fun with this one, am really what more can ask? The story is rediculous, but in a good way. Characters find themselves in a weird situation and for the most part act accordingly, and the story sticks through from beginning to end. People being pissed about their situation, power struggles, small things, big things.

Renders are good but not the latest and greatest, and there are some typo's here and there but nothing game breaking.

So all in all, get in with and open mind and definitely would recommend.

The concept is great but the execution is horrendously poor. The game is riddled with grammar and spelling errors, causing lots of confusing and frustrating dialogue. More so than this, the concept is ruined by the developers reluctance to simply stop, reasses, and do what's necessary to figure out how they want the story to go. It's a shame, too. A lot of the models are fairly good, which makes a lot of the scenes really hot. But...a lot of this really is wasted effort.

This first part is for the Trolls out there. This is a Kinetic Novel as it's clearly stated in the Tags and the Main Picture of Women with giant Breasts should be a good indicator of what's in this Novel.

However, if you're willing to play the game for more than 30 minutes you'll find a large group of natural looking Women cloistered at the Church. The leader of the group is Sister anne who is a bit militant and refers to the Towns Women as "Balloon Bimbos". An added bonus is that the Sisters are not Celibate for it's not that kind of Church. Later the MC will visit there most days for our enjoyment.

At the beginning the MC is frustrating. He is pissed off at being abducted and forced to play the lead on some kind of Adult Reality TV Porn Show for a bunch of purvey aliens. While dragging his feet the MC will get dragged/tricked/fall into sexual situations with the more willing. Eventually the MC will embrace his role with the knowledge that everyone will benefit if the show does well. But just because he's now willing doesn't mean it will be easy, for everyone knows why he's there and not all are happy (example: Man Hating Lesbian).

I think the renders are great. While I'm not a fan of the giant oversized Breasts nor find some of the girls to be sexy I do find them to be beautiful. The Dev seemed to have put in some effort on facial design with varied expressions for each girl ranging from humorous to adorable. After reading the posts I went back and saw that some early renders were indeed grainy but they were the exception not the rule.

The sex scenes varied from girl to girl with lots of renders and fun dialogue. Enjoy.

Started out OK - the size of the women's boobs was absurd and not the best renders but decent enough game. However, a while back it started getting sillier. Worst of all, there stopped being choices and it moved from a game to a kinetic novel. That was a dick move changing it like that. I hate kinetic novels and it didn't start that way.

Some of the writing is ok, but the renders are very ugly. Every single woman has monstrous breasts that hang in an unrealistic way. They are not just big, but cartoonishly big. And when everyone's big, no one is. There's a lack of variety of boobs shapes and sizes. Everyone's just the same, with the exception of one "small" boobed lady and one whose breasts are extra big.

Quite a meaty story for those like myself just jumping on board now. The setting and concept are pretty hot and wildly underutilized amongst horny games. But the absurd body sliders are mostly a turn off, with the "flat chested" characters having larger tits than the big breasted characters from more realistic VNs.

Also while I do enjoy the pulpy story, there are a lot of things to complain about. For having been written by an English speaker, it often reads like something that's gone through an online translator. For example I would really like this dialogue explained:
[handing the MC a drink]
"Here you go. Want to know what it is?"
"Not really... So long as it stings." [so far so good]
"So, what are you thinking dearie? Tell auntie Jane."
"An agony aunt!?!"
"Young ones these days. Always running around not thinking."
^What does that mean? Why did the MC shout agony aunt? Why did Jane reply with a seeming non-sequitur? Stuff like that pops up all the time. Genuinely though if this is a reference I simply don't understand, anyone can DM me to explain and I'll amend my review.
EDIT: someone explained what this meant, it actually tracks! Might add a different quote in later though, cuz there's definitely still dialogue that doesn't make much sense.

Also there are a surprising amount of bugs, especially given how long this game seems to have been out. The MC's name changes to default occasionally, and every sex scene with animations has bugged out with the Ren'Py "An exception has occurred." error message. No matter how good the story is, you're gonna get pushback when you get the sex scenes wrong.

Last two main complaints, one is easy to fix and one is a more significant issue. The former is that oftentimes two characters will be in a scene with the MC, and when one speaks, the camera focuses on the other. It's unnatural and especially confusing when you're starting out. If it's a conscious creative choice made by the creators, they should know that it's wrong and they should stop doing it. The latter complaint is that the MC keeps having interesting conversations and dates with compelling characters... and then has sex with a rando. Every sex scene with a Sister so far has been disappointing, because I don't know them. I'm champing at the bit to have some fun with Crystal, or Sally, or hell even Maddie or Molly, because I am invested in them as characters. Meanwhile I've boned Irina, Emma, and Gina, and they've shown up elsewhere in the story practically zero times. While I disagree with the MC's general reluctance to have sex, I understand his narrative purpose for acting so, and am further confounded by these instant sex side quests where others would be way more fulfilling.

Sorry, got a bit rambly there, but I'll wrap it up. Despite all my complaints, the story is a lot of pulpy fun (looking at you, Alice), the characters are cumpelling , and while I wish there was a game like this where I had more choice as to who I pursued and when, I'm having fun in this domed holodeck fantasy.

(also all my complaints aside, if you fix the animations and stop Ren'py from giving me error messages, I'll bump my rating up)

This is a fun game with frequent updates. I'm not particularly a fan of the ENORMOUS breasts, but there is a lighthearted story line that keeps it all moving. I really like the handful of quirky characters (like Red and Blue) that break things up now and then.

For those who have seen my ratings, they know that I don't give 5 stars often. In fact, it has only been done one time before.
I like games with choices. The ones where your choice dictates what ending you get are my favorite of all. I love trying for the different endings. When I first heard about this game, I thought it was one of those. I was sadly mistaken.
There are no choices at all. Secondly, I like a good story. So I was pleasantly surprised when this one hooked me. The story is my second favorite thing.

So, even though this is a straight forward game, I love the twists and turns it takes. And can't wait to find out what happens next. This Dev has my gratitude for a job well done.

A kinetic novel. Super advanced Xenos with clarktech kidnap the MC and 50 women from earth and throw them in a small town sized space zoo to produce space porn. They also used their clarktech to bodysculpt the MC and the women. Some of the women are over 100 years old and have been returned to prime youth, most had their boobs enlarged massively, MC was given a fit body and an oversized bitchbreaker.

It sounds good on paper... but the execution is rather meh.
MC is some sort of wet noodle pretending to be a man, who is actively fighting against getting laid. In particular it was cringy how the BDSM nuns are trying to make him act like their master and he hemming and hewing about using "degrading" language like they want him to.
They also keep on making fun of the MC for being a moron which... they are not wrong, but that doesn't make for fun game.

Honestly something like this would have been ideal as a sandbox, but for some reason it is a kinetic novel.
This is actually a very serious problem not just a personal preference.
With over 50 women to fuck I can't even remember who is who. If this was a sandbox I could focus on a few girls. Get to know them by following their path to completion.
Since it is a KN instead I am going round robin. So I can have easily 10 thousands lines of (pretty weak) dialog between each time I meet a specific woman. And by the time I meet her again I don't remember who she is anymore.

The women themselves are mostly caricatures. You have the overly serious drill sargeant and her daughters whom she forces to play act as soldiers. You have the overly diligent scientist (TM) and her daughters whom she forces to play act as scientists. You have the cherleaders and her daughters whom she forces to play act a cheer squad. etc. It is supposedly just something they do out of boredom, but I am not really seeing much more depth to them.

3d art is ok, but only that, I am not impressed.
The pussies in particular look gross in whatever render engine they are using.

Version .25

I came for the giant boobs but stayed due to the amusing story and characters. The pacing between lewd and story are good. The different scenarios are interesting and varied. A hidden gem.

I had fun playing this game, the writing is good, renders are average, though Im hoping that would improve with this game getting more recognition, if I could suggest something, please add the music, really make the playing more fun. the best, to me, of this game, is the story and how the author chooses to develop the characters, special when the MC is surrounded with 60+? women, youd think this would be pretty much monotonous mindless fuck-fest where MC getting all of the 60+ pussies falling directly onto his dick, it isnt. MC has some presonality and the game is much more than that

Sub par renders and scenes, some I wondered why they just didn't replace everything but the character(s) and had a static image as a background.
Some of them were grainy as well.
+1 For not using the animation tag as most other VNs/Games do which has 5 or 6 images in a sequence.
They weren't lying about big tits, also pregnancy One scene, I hope for more later
The game also contains fisting One scene, I hope for more later which is rarely seen in VNs/games.

Hopefully this game gets a remake which addresses the renders and scenes.

Perhaps harsh to rate 2/5 but one get spoiled with marvellous renders in other games and it's definitely not worth 5/5

Rated: 2/5
Based on: v0.25

yes the game is stupid, but it is fun (what more can you ask of a game?) the dev has a good sense of humor great characters and a solid premise. I think since it is what it is being a different reality than we are living in he should get some smols there too. not saying he should plow them but they should be there teasing him as it would generate ratings as "will he or won't he" we know the aliens propagate too fast for that question but its nice they do tend to tap their fathers if blue is average. he does need to engage his faux family members too rather than avoiding them. overall its a fun romp already and a yes for d/l next ep.

This game without any exaggeration is a hidden gem. The story is one of the best I ever found in a porn game. The character development is pretty decent. And a likable MC, if you can believe it. The biggest downside is the animations. I wouldn't lie, they are bad, but it doesn't deduct from the enjoyment of the game. There are more than a few spelling mistakes, but nothing major . And don't let the initial looks deceive you, it has women of different shapes and sizes.

All in all, a superb game

Review is of v0.22.

After a promising start, this game lost its way for a couple of updates and seemed to be meandering, with the story not really progressing in any interesting way.

However things have got back on track with the last couple of updates and the story line and characters are progressing well, with a good mixture of entertaining scenes and dramatic tension.

One caution is that the constant introduction of new characters might end up overwhelming the writer - there are so many to keep track of, and many have not made any appearances for several updates.

A related issue is that I for one have forgotten who many of them are, and there is no easy way to identify them without going back to an early save. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, as there is a stub of a character information page - it is really needed.

A final plea - please get someone to proofread, as there are far too many simple errors, mostly incorrect use of homophonic words like "knew" for "new", etc.

TL;DR
is if you love GIANT TIDZ this is for you

What can I say, I was hooked from day one with this. It's like one of my top ideal VN's, MC (you) get's to go round fucking various breast sides girls, I do love me some gigantic breats and this VN fills that void as there isn't many out there.
I honestly think the story is written well as well as the development of the charectors, MoistSponge is doing a great job on this. I only hope after this he makes more giant breast games in the future. With a dash of breast expansion (personnal hope).
