VN - Ren'Py - Innocent Witches [v0.11.2 Beta Fix3] [Sad Crab]

This is a typical sandbox game that is parodying a popular novel and grinding horrible. It contains stylish 2D arts and models. Story is about corrupting 4 female students in the same magic school setting. But dev made it uninteresting somehow.

I like slow-burn but I am not sure that this dev even knows how to tease people sexually. All sexual activities felt generic and childish. Its strange story progression and organization made me uninterested and bored quickly. The game has two plots (old and new) but their stories are basically the same boring ones. Not sure why dev needed to create two similar ones. The game is unnecessarily click-hogging and in-game hint system didn't help much so I had to read the walkthrough guide for every single task. And I have to question dev's planning skills because game saves don't work even among the same versions (e.g., v0.8 alpha and v0.8 beta).

Another grinding game with unworthy rewards.

Art is great but I do not understand their decision to create new plot instead of expanding the old one - waste of time for both dev team and players as new and old plots exist at the same time and none of them contains full content of the game. Old plot seems also well thought out in comparison to the new one too.

Pick it up in a few years when it's actually stable.


The game's pretty good and I actually like the slow boil/teasing content. But saves don't transfer over between updates, and the Dev keeps changing older content which means that keeping up involves replaying the same shit over and over again.

The dev needs to set up a better checkpoint system, and make it so you can skip text even without having read what you're skipping. Then maybe it'll be worth picking up before the game is totally done.

Long time no see such a shitty game. Hints which say you nothing, unwinable minigames. Bugs and crushes. Story which often makes no sense. Overall frustrating and annoying. Most of it can be fixed, but as can be seen from comments there is no signs of improvement for ages.

Grind type of game. There are 2 sex scenes for an entire game. Animations are good, but creators are not interested in sexual content, so it's a more erotic type of game. Every scene opens in a kind of grind way.

Amazing art, lots of cool details! Good quests! Funny! Cool minigames! A bit grindy making the progress slow (which is good, rewards taste better)! But overall a really nice game!

Already played it a few times and plan to keep doing it

Pretty dope.
Played the latest public version as of 23/09/2021 (non US-date) and the latest additions (2d animations) make the game feel more alive and give a somewhat uncanny yet pleasent feel to whats happening. The drawings themselves are cool, with a nice stylistic feeling to them.
The version that is currently available on Patreon seems to connect the chapters even more, which is nice, as I feel there is a certain lack of continuity between parts. Can't wait for the full release

Excellent art and animation. Intriguing story with multiple concurrent lines. Looking forward to the future of this, although I think the animation they are making now is a negative direction of their artwork.

Inevitably, some of you may be asking why I am only giving this game 2 stars? Let's discuss pros first. The writing is pretty solid. I found myself engaged with the story and found it relatively compelling. Moreover, this game, hands down, has some of the best art in any pornographic game.

And that brings me to my main criticism. There is hardly any lewd content. Despite years of development, this game only has a handful of lewd scenes sparsely placed throughout a relatively long and grindy story. It isn't always intuitive what you need to do next (I initially played without a guide). Moreover, certain tasks that you need to complete feel tediously long in order to draw out the game play.

And it's really a damn shame. I remember how optimistic I was when this game was initially released years ago when I was still in college. It had so much promise, but it is such a grind to get to that good content, and even then, it is a short scene with few options.

To the creator of the game, if you read this, please know that I am not attacking you directly. There are plenty of other games that follow a similar format such as Bad Manners. What it is a reflection of is that I wouldn't recommend this game for someone unless they specifically asked for "a humorous and engaging story with good art without too much of a concern for pornographic content."

I certainly hope that these comments are taken to heart, but this game is already successful with it's established fan base so I know that is incredibly unlikely.

The game play just wastes too much time - the swimsuit task was just full of pointless clincking, then forced waiting, then clicking some more, then forced waiting again... and this pattern repeats it self. Even the sex scenes are just full of pointless time wasters. I know the creator probably wanted to make things 'real'. But I feel the dev didnt get the balance right - immersion is one thing, wasting time while not advancing plot or game experience is another.

The game is VERY slow filled with tens if not hundreds of tedious minigames, still there is something that draws you back again and again.

The artwork is fantastic, I just cant get enough of it. The story is pretty interesting, I find the jokes funny. I like the very slow burn of the story, you get closer and closer to the characters and get to know them. I think the characters other than the MC are very well written and as I said the main story is also pretty good.

I have two main problems with the game.
First are the minigames which are absolutely tedious and the game is filled with hundreds of rounds. Good luck playing them without any guides or walkthroughs.

Second is the MC. His personality is all over the place. No matter what route you choose it just feels strange. I chose the Light path and for some time it felt like he was actually a good guy he shared some moments with the waifu (Daphne best girl dont at me) then he just started talking like a literal psychopath about how the plan is all coming together. Then he switches back to the self redeeming good guy.

One thing to note is that the porn part of the game is almost non-existent so if you are looking for that, this might not be your game.

TL;DR
+Art
+Story
+Characters
+ Funny

-Grindy minigames
-MC's personality
(-Lack of porn content)

Overall if you like HP and you can get over the lack of porn content and the tedious minigames, the game can be pretty fun. I think the positives outweigh the negatives and the game is well above avarage. I hope the next update will bring some good content.

English/Español

I think unfortunately this game has the plan to take all the time necessary to earn a lot of money thanks to sponsors, I am not against sponsorship (patrons), but lately this theme has become very common among developers, they release updates from time to time with little content and they add unnecessary things or deviate from the objective, in this case porn, more than two years and the scenes are scarce, few things H, and the missions and objectives are long and the prizes are not very satisfactory like a new scene sex (and there is little sex), something like a simple image of a girl in a bikini for doing many things is really very tedious, if we removed all the H from this game we would only be removing between 20% to 30% of the entire game, most of the time you will spend doing missions. Two years is a lot for so little porn that it is the goal of a porn game! Even so, I love art so I hope they finish it and that it is not two more years.

Creo que lastimosamente este juego, tiene el plan de llevarse todo el tiempo necesario para ganar mucho dinero gracias a los patrocinadores, no estoy en contra del patrocinio, pero últimamente esta temática se ha vuelto muy común entre los desarrolladores, sacan actualizaciones cada cierto tiempo con poco contenido y agregan cosas innecesarias o se desvían del objetivo, en este caso el porno, más de dos años y las escenas son escasas, pocas cosas H, y las misiones y objetivos son largas y los premios no son muy satisfactorios como una nueva escena de sexo(y hay poco sexo), algo como una simple imagen de una chica en bikini por hacer muchas cosas realmente es muy tedioso, si quitáramos todo el H de este juego solo estuviéramos quitando entre un 20% a 30% de todo el juego, pues en la mayoría del tiempo pasaras haciendo misiones. Dos años es mucho para tan poco porno que es el objetivo de un !juego porno!, aun así tengo me encanta el arte asique espero lo terminen y que no sea es dos años más.

Since this game came out, I have been playing it every once in a while. I like the premise of the game and the story has improved quite a while, but the game has too much grind and not much scenes The mini-games are very annoying and also grindy to do.

The writing is well done, yet sometimes too much. It's interesting and has some humor, but the main thing that saves this game is the art. The available art is stunning and very well done.

It starts slow and continues slow, but I liked the pacing and the slow buildup. It made the characters more believable.

One critique I have is that the game was too grindy. I ended up skipping a lot of days just to grind stats and I didn't enjoy that.

The further into the development the less sence.Each time then game suffer major rework it`s lose something. Game of relationship shifted to corrupiton. Corruption shifted to mind control. MC become slut harem. On top of that more and more plot spots changed to minigames.

Play it for the art, not for the fap.

This game has a relentless amount of mini-games, waiting and clicking. All for 1 Penetration scene, maybe 2 (3?) blowjobs and just lots of teasing.

Only worth if you're a real Harry potter fan and just want to look at the extremely nice looking art.

(Also where tf is the girl we meet at the start)

overall: updates are slow but fantastic game

content is also slow but very rewarding, beautiful art and well-paced
minigames can be finicky but are ways around it. similar to Akaburs Witch Trainer but honestly has potential to be better than it

This game is a wall of text with minimal sex content. You will see the first sex scene in prologue and then spend hours drinking and reading some meaningless conversations with Snape or your own portrait. The game itself is unplayable without guide, because you always have to guess the right time, place and items to do something meaningful. It took me 8 hours and I havent seen any 18+ content since prologue. It feels like a scam and a waste of time.

The only good thing is the artwork, but again, I dont know how long it would take to get to any 18+ content after prologue.

Game story is good enough for play-for-the-plot guys, but for others who want to fap the game is extremely slow (the whole act 1 dont have a single big porn scene) bt the dev is working to renew the plot and adding more juicy contents throughout the game so look foward what can they do
Art, music, character design is fucking delicious for me. I'm so bored at 3D char so 2D art like this game is amazing. Main reason for voting this 5 stars is the displaying . Hermione, Luna, Susans and Daphne is fucking hot, i'm looking forward for more Hogwart character would be introduced.
Inconclusion, juicy art, good plot and interesting gameplay is what im going to say about the game

Some games for this fetish are paced too fast, which ruins the corruption/slave trainer arc by making it seem fake. This game has the opposite problem, being that it is sooo. Fucking. Slooooow. It legitimately took me multiple IRL days to get my in-game dick wet. The game part is really well done though. I would give 5 stars, but the pacing is enough to dock one or two. I ended up going with 4 stars, since I would end up recommending it if you're into the slave trainer kinda genre.
