Ren'Py - Innocence or Money [S2 E2] [MarcialART]

Innocence or Money (at least up to S2E2) is the definition of an average game. Not particularly good or bad in any way. The story like all the rest is average, a good deal of corruption (if you take the innocence path there is very little content, so there are no real choices beyond who do you corrupt her with) specially in season 1 with a more direct set of payoffs from the ending of it. Characters are not great and the writing is meh, but it gets the job done. I did dislike Bruce's introduction into the story, it comes out of the blue, in a drug plot that hadn't been part of Jennifer's story and ends up resorting to blackmail... al the while he goes around like he's such a dom and strong and he's going to break her and all he does is fuck her in a pretty soft vanilla way. The sandbox shouldn't be there, first of all because it's full of repetitive things you have to do with no real gameplay in them, and second because you don't even get the usual benefit of sandbox (doing things in the order you want) you have to follow the quests in a specific order or it just keeps giving you the same dialogues and scenes. So, if it is so straightforward and in Ren'py, it should have been just a VN, even though maybe the development in season 2 is hinting at maybe developing a bit more of a gaming side (I doubt it but...).

Render quality is pretty decent and Jennifer's model is great (the others are more irregular). Animations are plenty if a bit brief and I don't like how he forces us to watch certain of them for a while when they are really just pretty short loops. There is music but I turned it off so can't say, and there are moans and things like that for sound. And as far as bugs go, I only got a minor one and was able to solve it myself.

So, all in all, worth your while for some decent faps, won't change your life or make porn game of the year, but it's nice.

Lack of choice ruins another game.

I could see where the story was headed. Wasn't sure I would ultimately continue because there would come a time where you'd be forced to do something you didn't want to. I figured it'd be in the massage parlor.

Spoiler.......
Instead you're forced to make out with two men. One of which you've already turned down multiple times.

Not personally interested in an "innocence" run. Was instead looking to see if you could move through the game by ultimately rejecting the boyfriend and ending up as a lesbian.

My understanding is that the game dev doesn't tag their games, but the "lesbian" tag for this game seems to be entirely contingent on one scene.

Ultimately I feel as if I've wasted my time. Lack of character agency ruins another supposedly choice based game.

This is a solid corruption game that doesn't try to pass itself off as something it isn't. It also, perhaps, has one of the best hot sequences you will see in a corruption game at the end of Season 1 (if you make a certain choice.) There is a sandbox, but it really is not grindy at all (especially compared to most sandboxes.) The Dev is constantly improving the game with features and seems generally enthusiastic about the project.

Ok, for specifics: the MC is hot. Yes, that is subjective, but the model is a mix of cute/smoking that is very appealing. The corruption is well done for the most part (yes, some porn logic, but nothing outrageous.) The animation is well done with a variety of positions, angles and speeds. UI makes sense and easy to use.

Be warned, there is an old guy in this VN. Depending on choices he may be involved with the MC. There is an innocent path - however - why are you playing a corruption game to be innocent? No fun for you.

So, you want good renders, animations and a smoking MC? This is your jam. There are one or two other chicks around, but the MC is the main heat generator. She is enough. Try it out at least until the end of season 1.

I like the concept but i couldent get past the forced sex scenes where you look at old fat ugly dudes, why that is even a thing i will never understand.

But thats almost the main thing in this game, watching others have sex or play with them selfs.....and yeah you cant skip any of the shit if you hate it, same for other boring shit like watching MC try clothes...waste of time.
The sex scenes is forced constantly, how game is rated so highly when 95% of the sex scenes is watching other people then MC having sex? might as well just hit a porn site, faster and easiere......and you wouldent have to watch a million training animations that is also unskipable...ffs....

Also the hole controling other characters like the little sister, whats the point of a game if you controle everyone around ya? makes no sense, but then again your barely in controle of the MC either.......
And why dosent it have multiple protagonist tag? you controle Adam and the little sister as well.....

And dont even get me started on why she took the drugs or dident just trow the shit or flushed it out the second she got them, its just such a poor way of trying to make some weird corruption thing or make the little sister a drug user..... its just to stupid and when she notice theres alot of pills missing she dosent stop the sister either? how does that make sense? she claims to love her sister but let her become hooked on drugs? instend of going after her to get those pills away from her? i just cant stand stories this stupid.

Same for story even if someone tries to rape your ass you cant do a thing about it, cant get pissed, cant call the cops, you just bow down and lick the boots of your bitch boss? and accept it, i mean really? and next day you just go back to work as nothing has happened lol its a joke.

I was hoping there would be some kind of lesbian route but clearly thats not the case, sure you can be with prostitutes but thats not my kind of fun and for unknown reasons the hot red head in the gym has nothing to do with MC and you also controle the red head for some weird reason......

The sandbox part makes 0 sense, its extremly repetitive and all you do is follow a single quest at a time making it 100% linear gameplay with 0 freedom, why its even there i have no clue.

As for girls its proberly 95% bimbos and not many look all that good either.

Animations are pretty average and all forced and unskipable and mostly has nothing to do with MC....

Music is pretty decent.

Choices are pretty pointless, you controle some characters but they still do whatever they want so no real point in that, you only controle a little with MC to stay good or go bad, but in both cases MC is still brainless.

Then theres the season one cant be transfered to season 2? how stupid is that.....

The Game started of good but it's just a joke now. And the updates are a few
risen a repeat lewd stuff not worth mentioning lol! I actually thought about becoming a sub as I enjoy the first few chapters but thank god I didn't
I should know better with these sand box type games. For the most part I usually skip these types of games so my bad!

I quite like this game. Even though it was slow at first, it kept me looking out for this game. Gameplay is fine, little grinding, which is fine and daring scences. Of course it's cheating genre, so it's not for everyone, but lovers of it will like this game. Even more so now, where there's actual sex in it.

I plan to Talk about the lack of representation in the game. I hope this situation changes in the future, but it's one of those games where you're limited to the author's narrative. The female character treats the main character disrespectfully, and the protagonist seems to agree with her, perhaps because the author directed him that way. As a player, you're confined to this point of view; you can't disagree with the character. In fact, regardless of the situation, you can't have any opinion because you're restricted to how the author wants the protagonist to think. Besides that, the game seems promising

saison 1

You play as a girl who is literaly a slave, you are forced to clean a house for a few coin and she have no choice out because story made her stupid as fuck.

We add that everybody are rapist or mega douche so from the start the story is frankly unappealing

Add to that the unecessary sandbox and, i will repeat, that the mc is written as a mentally challenged person.

The visual are uneven it go from awesome to motly broken and the sex scene are a bit of meh. Oh wait ! did i told you the mc is stupid....? in case of you forgot.... she is..

the grind, oh good lord, the grind. the unskippable animation . the choice who aren't choice, wtf is wrong with u dev ?

Ps : the mc is really really dumb

+ game is focused on MC corruption. I fucking love how slutty she become
+ hot FMC
+ renders/animations
+ nice music
+ you love straight content? That's great! Thankfully it's main focus here
+ possible real action in the future, like: gangbang/MMF/DP... and much more.. i can't wait!
+ sandbox is not that bad, imo is well done compared to other avns i played

- not many lewd scenes, but what we already got it's good and satisfying
- sometimes characters keep repeating the same thing too many times during conversations or inner thoughts. It's become annoying when you heard and heard "how he will fuck her tonight" for example..

5 stars from me. I really enjoy this game and in the end - this is the most important thing, right?

The first real game I ever played on Ren'Py. The protagonist was spectacular, the story both interesting and captivating. It left a lasting impression and will always have a special place in my heart.

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.
