Ren'Py - Innocence or Money [S2 E1 Fix1] [MarcialART]

This is a well written game that really impressed me. I still haven't finished season 1 and I'm very excited that there's much gameplay left.

In most games with a female main character there's a lack of realism that annoys me. Often the woman is a total slut, or she goes from virgin to slut within a very short time. This story gives us the option to decide for ourselves how fast and to what degree Jennifer will be corrupted. This allows people like me the chance to progress the story in a pace that I feel is realistic and doesn't make me lose all respect for the character. At the same time those who want Jennifer to be a whore can lead her down that path.

At the beginning I felt that the game creator was trying to lead my down the "Let's make Jennifer a slut" path. She doesn't have money and there's very little to do. You want to do more than eat, clean, take a shower and sleep. When you're forced repeat that several days in a row then you start to become a little curious what kind of scenes you can open up if you just let the landlord touch you a little bit.

Thankfully I didn't do that, and slowly new opportunities opened up. She gets job opportunities, she gets herself friends, a smartphone and membership at a gym. From being boring and repetitive, this game slowly opens up and we're in a game filled with opportunities and interesting people.

Slowly is a keyword (At least the way I'm playing it). The pacing is great an I love that the developer takes his time when he tells the story. Jennifer tries to be loyal in her long-distance sexless relationship, but the temptations are many and they feel realistic.



Even if many of the people she meets are manipulative assholes who tries to take advantage of this young naive girl, they feel realistic. The developer takes his time when he introduces new characters and they're all believable. The games get bigger and bigger. There's a lot to do and Jennifer isn't stuck with 1 or 2 love interests. That means that you don't feel forced into any relationship, and you can let Jennifer keep some dignity. However, many of the people she meets are great manipulators and the temptations she is facing feel realistic.

There's a couple of things that I dislike for my personal preferences:

- I wish I didn't have to read what everyone was thinking. I think that it would have been even more fun if I had to figure out who I could trust and who I couldn't trust. When you know right away that the guy (or woman) is a manipulative asshole then it's less likely that you allow Jennifer to flirt or lead that character on in any way.

- There are actually too many pictures in every scene. This leads to me left clicking way to fast. That means that I don't read all the text either. I think with less pictures in every scene I would have taken the time to read all the text and appreciate all the pictures.

But overall: This is a great game if you enjoy playing as a young naive girl in a world where everyone wants to take advantage of you.

Season 1 remastered

It looked promising, but there were a lot of things I didn't like.

The story of the protagonist and her sister are interesting, while everything else is less so.

Animations developed well but too long and cumbersome, I also found the various transitions between one scene and another superfluous and useless (frustrating how the "skip" button is not very effective in these cases).

The sandbox is also quite simple and not very functional.

A real shame because everything could have been done in a much more fluid way.

Maybe the second season will be better.

Based on Season 1 remastered
Not worth the time.
You play as a junkie slut who's eating pills and going out of control. That pretty much sums up the entire "story". Forced content. Some stuff can be declined by the player, but not all.
Unnecessary sandbox - linear story, which makes sandbox just an annoyance and puts you through a bunch of unnecessary clicks.
Horrific animations which can't be skipped. If you're not interested in a particular scene, you can let 'em run, go grab some lunch, do laundry, grab a drink or two, when you come back they might be over and let you continue playing.
Models - MC is indeed nice looking, other models not so much. Most male NPCs are "unappealing" when it comes to looks, which is a major turn off for me.
Season 2
Forced sex content from the start.
Would not recommend it to others.

Worth a try if the general idea is interesting for you.

My gripes:

Sandbox tag -> not really. You can't really choose multiple directions to go, etc. You must do what the quest log does (sometimes choosing a specific choice, or rather no game progress for you!).
The hunger and hygiene were, after hours, mostly something to remember one time per day. Like it is there just because it should be a sandbox.
Too late to change this now, but should be something to consider in a next game.

Unskipable SLOW animations -> seriously. If it were to be used in specific moments... Like, ok, new characters? Alright. I can live with that. Even better if it were just like 3-5 seconds.
But there is just TOO MUCH random animations "locks" all over the game. Man, some are even transitions like bringing the camera from another character in the gym to the protagonist. Why does it need to take 10 seconds??
Or, not interested in the scene of a random/other character? Well, good luck. You're stuck waiting for the lock to be released. Removing this would be a major Quality of Life improvement...

For a corruption game, I usually like it better when the character chooses willingly and kinda corrupts itself, with the help of external forces. This is mostly lacking here. Progress is always from external source, the character can only react to external influence. I don't mean to say this aspect is terrible, just that great.

While animations are overall ok, they are fairly simple, sometimes a bit uncanny. Mostly because the movement are pretty basic and you never shook off the feeling of seeing mannequins moving. It is not bad, to be clear.

There are some very interesting scenes and scenarios. They in itself make the game at least worth to try.
Female characters are pretty.
Male characters tend to be ugly/weird.
There are music to choose.
There are moaning sounds in the H-scenes.
The renders are good.

Sadly, didn't stand out much, hence the average tag. Nothing it offered justifies to be above the average experience so far, specially with the downsides I pointed above.
But at least if the tags interests you (not counting sandbox), I'd say it is worth a try. If you can ignore the unskippable scenes everywhere, might even be a good/great game for you.

Very nice AVN corruption. FMC is super hot and the game is pretty easy for a sandy AVN. For me the grind is minimal and the story progression is at a good pace. There are multiple paths to follow and it's not linear as you choose different options. Have fun corrupting Jen, but if the path is dark, you can always have options to decline some of the options.

Played everything until S2 E1. The girls all look pretty good for the most part, but a lot of the guys are kind of ugly bastards. The story is pretty good but the gameplay can be a little grindy in the beginning until you get the phone, but after that there isn't any more reason to grind. There are some annoying sandbox elements like needing to shower and eat which don't really help the game at all.

The two biggest problems however are the unskippable movies and how poorly the game ran sometimes. So for the former, there's literally a short, unskipable movie every time a new location or a new character gets introduced to the story. It also happens a lot in random scenes like the gym where you can't just skip past it. There's also a bunch of scenes where rather than simply animating a back and forth, you have to click for the movement. It would've been much better to have the scene simply alternate the two images for some thrusting animation while the dialog ran independently. The latter problem however is another major problem. The game is outrageously demanding on your system. For some reason it bogged down my computer like all hell while playing it and it got so bad that some of the animations where dropping frames and just looked bad in general. There's no reason for it to have been so demanding of a game to run, so I can only conclude it's because of poor programming.

Overall, it's a great game with some really hot scenes. I only played the money path under the assumption that I'd basically just be skipping content if I didn't. It could really use a few improvements in the programming to make it all run much smoother, but other than that it's a great game and I hate that I can't give it a higher rating, but those two issues are really bad.

This one heavily depends on your expectations.

If you are looking for an interesting sandbox with meaningful decisions, as could have been expected from the tags and description, this is clearly a 0-star-game. The sandbox offers no real choices, it's not even a visual novel. At it's core it is a mostly kinetic story about a naive and horny country girl going to the city and getting fucked. everything else are dead ends or is simply non-existent.

But if you are looking for a mostly kinetic story about a girl getting fucked, you are in for a really pleasant ride! Yes, the sandbox takes a few ingame-days of grind to get the story started, but afterwards you simply click through the stations to continue the story, no grind neccessary. After you paid the phone and the gym membership, the sandbox is done! Yes, you need to go to the gym for your fitness level, but you will go there to continue the story, so it doesn't matter.

That's the part where the action begins! Jennifer is gorgeous and gets hornier every day. And of course every dick in the city tries to get his share of her. She gets accompanied by her sister, who is even hornier than her and arrives in the city with Jennifers boyfriend Mike (the only guy that don't want to fuck her) and Mike's dad, a shady priest. Marcial is pretty good at staging his scenes, giving us slowly more and more lewdness. The animations are plentifull, although a lot of them don't add to the sex scenes (but give us more immersion), the dialogs are fine and mostly on point.

Would Marcial present this as a VN with only minor decisions, I would gladly give 5 stars, because it is really well made and Jennifers ongoing corruption is a party I don't want to miss. Hopefully we will have a lot of lewd content beginning in chapter 2, especially when our innocent boyfriend will get cheated and NTR'ed.

In-game walkthrough: Robust hint system

While they often paint a very bleak picture of the fairer sex, FeMC games are probably my favorite second only to sharing games. While MC Jennifer is a cock hungry harlot at heart like most women, (/s for the dense misogynists) her internal struggle is fairly well-portrayed, and importantly for many players, seemingly left up to the player. This appears to even allow for an entirely pure playthrough, though my own was mainly trying to get her a first class ticket to Slutsville asap. This aspect of player-control is also important since a lot of the dudes Jennifer can become entangled with aren't exactly Adonis-tier. Naturally, if you do want to keep her more pure or avoid some of the more grody looking dudes, you won't get certain scenes. Thankfully, there are a healthy amount of other women (including Jennifer's smoking hot lil' sis) who you will also get down and dirty and most of those scenes don't have any element of choice.

Speaking of choice, aside from your decisions on how much to slut Jen up, the game plays out mainly linearly making the pseudo-sandbox map, hygiene, food and fitness meters and earning money a chore -- particularly in the early game where you need to grind money to buy a phone. Maybe these systems will be expanded upon in the future, but for now, they just add a layer of busywork that doesn't do the game any favors.

Positives
+ Smoking hot FeMC whose corruption is entirely up to the player
+ Other lovely ladies who you can also enjoy getting boned
+ Simple, yet sensible narrative with a hint of mystery

Neutral
= Male characters are mostly pretty gross-looking. (Honestly, that adds to the hotness for me, but I could see some people really being turned off by it.)
= English, while entirely serviceable, isn't exceptional causing some conversations to feel like they are lasting too long.
= Not a lot of penetrative content yet, but the build-up is hot, so I enjoyed it.

Negatives
- Long, drawn out, non-sex animations that are tough to skip through. I really don't need an animation sequence of Jennifer doing leg lifts that I can't just entirely skip
- Sandbox system and various other parameters feel unnecessary and can be a chore

Overall, I really enjoyed the game. A lot of work clearly went into it and it does some pretty cool things with camera cuts and the music also isn't half bad.
If you dig FeMC corruption and don't mind a small grind, you'll find a lot to enjoy here.

Note to Dev: I've really enjoyed this one! Please consider making the animations more skip friendly -- particularly for mundane things like the gym workouts.

Not really a sandbox, should actually be a VN because it's actually pretty linear. Check the quest and just do that 1-2 things everyday on repeat. Reason for 1 star? Fake reviews that are one para long, they got lazy and even posted 2 back to back... You've been warned.

Renders are good, some scenes are rather nicely done, however it gets repetitive really fast to see the same models from multiple angles. Also, the plot and dialogue kinda sucks because dev decided this must be in many languages.

If you run out of things to play, you can give it a go to pass the time. Pro-tip: DO NOT BUY THE GYM MEMBERSHIP before you buy the phone.

A really nice corruption AVN. The FMC is super hot and the gameplay is rather easy for a sandbox AVN. For me the grind is minimal and the story progress is at a good pace. There are multiple paths to go with and it is not linear if you choose different options. Have fun corrupting Jen.

The slow corruption is really good, the only thing that are kinda bad is the tedious grind, I get that it's the "core" mechanic since the mc need money. But once you got the scene from it, it just feel like dragging out, I just wish there is a skip daily chore thing after you got to certain point.

Grind. Grind grind grind. Soulless, unintersting grind. Music can't carry a game alone. It really doesn't require two hundred characters to explain where this game falls flat. Five characters covered it nicely. G-R-I-N-D.

The plot itself excels. I found this game to have one of the most intriguing storylines. However the game demands lots of clicks to proceed through animations(especially if there's the scene you're not interested in this clicks become irritating). Even though I strongly recommend this game.

Well the story was good, but what makes me wonder are the MC is a women, but the side character mostly women/girl too and too many lesbian than the normal one.

All the females in the game looks great, but not for the males, mostly are ugly, overweight, have skin disease. It will be better and a lot better if all the males good looking too like all the females, you can replace the old ugly character with sugar daddy just like game called "Hunky City" and the normal males just like "beauty and the thug, or the copy cat or Hornstown" to be honest all the males looks like old guy from japanese game, and the penises are bad, nothing special no veins no detail or interesting shape, and yes it really turn off because people barely watch porn ugly actor to be honest

almost half the game is basically you watching scenes of other characters that are totally forgettable and unnecessary, a waste of time and resources that could be invested in the character that matters, the main one. the developer didn't even bother to make the scenes optional.

about the work in the cafe, at the beginning everything was flowing normally, interesting scenes, good progression, but as the game went on the developer had the "brilliant" idea of adding a second character to work with the MC, why the hell did he do that? lots and lots of scenes focused on the secondary character with the owner that could be focused on the MC, a waste of time and resources.

the scenes at the gym, the vast majority of scenes are pointless because they focus on secondary characters that nobody cares about, again a waste of time and resources.

another thing that bothers me, at certain moments you have scenes that you can't skip, very annoying.

it's a shame. this game could have been a great game if the developer had focused more on the main character and left out secondary characters that nobody cares about.

I really really enjoyed it, very hot MC! But it desperately needs to allow you to skip scenes you don't wanna see, like panning over that gross monster silvia or whatever her/it's name is at the Gym lol. You can skip almost every scene like normal games, but certain slow panning scenes you can not and it just feels boring staring at Gym equipment or a double take of a model I have no interest in. I just pulled up my phone and watched videos every scene with that monster in it hahaha, seriously though a real mood killer and time waster

Save yourselves the download and play something else.

On the plus side, the renders are very well done and the MC is also displayed well. Unfortunately, that's about it...

I really tried to like the game, but the game and the story are so bogged down in stupid dialogues that I don't feel like following the story anymore. MC is portrayed as stupid, very backward and extremely naive. How am I supposed to identify with such a character if she doesn't know the simplest things ... An absolute turn-off. Also, MC only wants money and has no other goals or hobbies in life. Which is totally stupid.

Another big negative point: the side characters are absolutely shit, toxic and just want to take advantage of MC. She's constantly put down or sexually propositioned or told to let herself be sexually exploited... Yes, I know it's about corruption, but as a player I still expect something different.

The game structure is just boring and I have nothing to do as a player... Why do I have to wait a week at the beginning of the game and just clean my host family's house... Apart from that, you have nothing to do as a player... When you get the map after a week, the story picks up a bit, but it gets to a certain point and you're back to a point where I'm just working, showering and sleeping.
It makes absolutely NO sense!!!

This could have been a better game if the developer had taken a more time for the dialogues, character development, game structure and not made MC so stupid and superficial that I think she has a mental disability...

Truly the best corruption with cheating game I've ever played. The slow start so makes it worth it in the end.

If down the line we also go into transformation, with hair, nails, increase lips and breasts via surgery to become more of a bimbo, it will probably be the best game on this site.

This game starts out great. It has a sandbox and a little grinding but properly implemented so it is not really annoying.

Then half-way through the 3D artist (probably also the author) discovered panning and then throws in one unskippable panning animation after another to the point of annoyance.
Why do I have to watch 10s panning of a reception area?
Why do I have to watch 20s of panning animation of the MC on a treadmill?
Why do I have to watch 30s of panning animation of the MC using gym equipment?
