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

Artwork (even for backgrounds) and atmosphere is 10/10
Game is grindy and has problems (some mini games easy, some pretty hard) especially in the early parts. So that's like 4/10 for fun.
overall if ANY of these screenshots look amazing to you GIVE IT A SHOT WITH A WALK THROUGH

I feel like I need to make my first review in this site, and OH BOY! WHAT A CLUSTERFUCK OF A GAME IT WAS! I started playing this game about 2 years ago and I have never, ever got so flustrated, infuriated and enraged by this game.

Reasons to hate this game.
1: Main Character is by far the most retarded, zeta male i have ever had the displeasure to know (beta is an insult for the beta males)
2: The grind system (My God! You have literally to print the walkthrough to be able to do it)
3: Swimsuits quest (I literally got stuck for a month to be able to finish it)
4: Just look at the faces the main character does when he is doing some lewd scene with the girls (He looks like a retarded sexual harasser)
5: You will need to write down lots of things in a paper to be able to remember everything cause not even the best gamer can keep up with everything this game throws at you.

And finally what got me at maximum rage was the fact that EVERY SINGLE BUILD MADE HAD TO BE STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING! (This bullshit was for the ones who doesn't have a way to pay for the game to have to be forced to pay or have to start with nothing (new game without achievements) And if you DARE trying to mod the game so the save works, the game purposely crashes on you.

I really wanted that was possible to rate negative stars so I could put -5 Stars.

This is the only game i look forward to being done on f95zone, it's pretty slow going but I'm sure that's because yall are taking your time getting it done to get it right , don't listen to the haters

I got to say that the art is amazing and one of the greatest I've seen in games on this site. As for the pace of the game yes, it takes a lot of effort to get to the scenes, but it increases their value.

Never has a porn game made me so irrationally mad before. The art style is phenomenal and the scenes are brilliant, but fuck my life this game needs to seriously overhaul it's shitty mini games and grindy progression system. it took me 5 hours to finish Act 2 ch 1 as well as a act 2 ch 2, and 4 hours and 58 minutes of that was grind. The most egregious mini game is Hermione's wheel of fortune, I mean holy fuck I got the drink once and got to see the glorious scene that accompanied it, then tried it again for an hour straight lost my mind in a fit of rage because every time it spun it would land on kiss, without fail.

A lot of small shit as well, like when you want to skip ahead to the next week (because most of the game is waiting for something to happen) so you just sleep until next morning every time you wake up. BUT NOPE, it works the first time, but for some reason that is beyond even god, some brain dead monkey though it would be a good idea to make it so you have to skip ahead with the clock menu to the evening or later so your character can fall asleep, because for some reason "He can't sleep all the time... He needs to do something useful."

CUNT YOU'RE WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT 10 WEEKLY STIPENDS SO YOU CAN SAVE UP 2000 GOLD TO HAGGLE INFORMATION FROM THE OLD GREMLIN MAN FILCH. BTW SOZ BUT YOU ONLY NEEDED 700 AT MOST CAUSE YOU CAN JUST PICK THE LOWEST PRICE EVERY TIME AND HE'LL GIVE YOU THE LOWEST PRICE.

The drawing are really nice, the game has decent amount of content(though the games 4+ years old)
The story and questing is pretty bad and makes you guess what to do next or have to look at a guide constantly because the writer doesn't seem to do a good job.
If he would just clean up the story and quest it could be a great game instead of one that's a headache to play

Updates only 2 -3 times a year,
content progresses slowly, but if they add something its usually good.
Some of the minigames are anoying, but they give you the option to cheat on some of them.
They just added Save migration from older versions, so might be less of a pain in the future.

First things first, I am not in any case being objective in my review. I am only writing this down because there have been some bad review recently that I believe are not fair to the game.
So, innocent witches. Is it a shining Diamond? Probably not. But then, these are porn games we are talking about, not literature or movies or even games with deeper meanings. What it is however is an experience worth your time.
It has a familiar feeling thanks to the renpy engine, but it is quite different than most renpy games. The art is quite on point, the writing is witty and the story is actually beautiful in its own corruptive way. The devs have even taken it one step further by working on live2d scenes! The most important thing however, the reason that you need to play this game, are the Girls. Oh the girls.. One better than the other. I'm not gonna spoil their names of course, but lets Just say that there is a certain mature Lady in the game that I would very much like to experiment with. And so do you.
Have fun everyone and support your favorite games!

This game one could (and should argue) had great potential. The important word here is "had," great art, a fleshed out map and some solid mechanics, the issue is execution (or lack there of) a H game needs some H and this one has none (that shit scene with McGonagall doesn't count).

I think all here has been said.
Good graphics. That's all.
Even without fap content it's still a failure as a game.
You can't skip a day. You have to farm the skills by doing the same things again and again(use the console). Everything is sloooooooooooow.
And without saying at each update you have to start from the beginning.

In my opinion the game has great art and overall is very charming. the content takes very long to be updated but I think that the quality checks that out. Real Sex is barely existent at this moment but i think it's worth waiting.

I think its a great game. It's been going very slowly so far but I'm very excited for what this game holds. There are practically no H scenes, and also confused on how we should know the names of the Hogwarts text books, but beyond that I love all the mini games, and the art style is great!

this is basically a con. they lure you in with great art and a promise to return to the lewd version of Hogwarts we all so love. but then nothing happens. played for an hour and i don't even know where should i look for content.
the perplexing thing is that they obviously put a lot of work into it, its almost impressive. Hogwarts is huge and feels detailed, I looked for the quidditch field for way too long. i would wager they poured a lot more effort and talent into it than half the games on this site, they just forgot to
a. make it a game and
b. make it an h game.
for example the panty matching mini-game has great art and fine enough gameplay that it could have been awesome if it led to something or was a part of the story.

Needs more lewdity and a bit less grind starting out, specifically the bathing suit quest needs to be streamlined, but otherwise stellar progression game and the atmosphere is top notch! I'm actually quite invested in the story as well, which was a bit of a shock. Gameplay is rewarding without being overly challenging. Don't come into it looking for a wankfest, play it as an actual game with teasing being the reward and you'll be pleasantly surprised a long the way!

This game has had a tremendously long development period, with long periods of what seems to be creative frustration in between major releases. Bouts of perfectionist's dread and inter-collaborative issues seem to arise and subdue as the game is developed.
That being said, the reason I placed it as a good quality game as opposed to poor or great stands in the minor gameplay details. The art and environs are superb and full of life and referential set-pieces.

The teasing and hunt is what this game, I feel, had going for it when I started playing some updates ago. There really was no sexual content aside from mini-games at the time, and what was left over was a constant and increasingly lewd play style that shows the transition from genuine disgust to horny fooling around in explicit and gorgeous detail. I hate games that throw fifty nameless bitches at you and give each of them a sub-par, barely co-ordinated sex scene.

That's not to say things like Heroes Harem Guild, What A Legend, or Corrupted Kingdoms, the three excellent games which I argue directly compete with this one are handling anything poorly. They all have excellent pacing for their expected genre and idea. Their scenes are well co-ordinated and express some serious heat. It's not comparable in that light.

What I'm saying is that slowly corrupting these four girls is fun for me! Watching Daphne squirm after she gets tricked, or watching Hermione reluctantly show off her amazing tits really sells the trainer aspect of this game. Slowly getting them to dress sluttier for you, to want to be treated sexually and break down their professional and emotional barriers. This is the essence of this genre. This is why I play this game- a hard fought, sexually charged but ultimately rewarding victory.

The writing and story are long-winded, but the payoff at the end is having felt like you really pushed these girls over the edge and knocked them head over heels using magic and your sometimes clearly misguided words.

The sense of humor, art, and love for the source material and others are top notch. The absurdity of it all even had me giggling like a kid at some points. were all wonderful little tidbits that I appreciated very much.

This all being said, the real life pace is also worrying to a degree. Some things, like the mentioned lewd scenes, which are a constantly requested addition, are released at a snail's pace because they won't release anything that they haven't run through a hundred times in search of errors or mistakes. The small team running it struggles to keep pace with their massive workload and often exhaustive taste in artistic detail.

Returning, and editing, and taking feedback, and returning, and animating, and debugging, and coding. Exhaustive, excellent, but time consuming emotional struggle. If given enough time and faith, this will turn out amazing, but first it just seems like they're cleaning out their closet until it's perfect.

I genuinely hope they succeed in their goal. I don't really have much else to say.

Cumbersome story and mechanics get in the way of great art. Unfortunately the number of art assets has stalled and there is very little H content. If the developer would clean up the game's story and cut down the grind it would easily be a much better game. Art is 5/5.

Way to slow and tedious. The game is neither fun nor fappable in the pace it's going. The start is so boring, been playing for 3 hours or something, the only thing that gets hard are my veins in my forehead. This game needs better design and even better a cheat option to skip the crappy quests.

pluses: beautiful art, funny dialogues, tease (very)
cons: in four years of development, we still didn't get to hermione (keep waiting)
result: for the right mood
if you wont just f*p, return after next 4 years.

Extremely grindy and buggy at the moment, but there's fantastic art and there's potential in here. At the very least it's not another Unity game with borrowed assets and music. If they ever complete the polish on this game and wrap it, it'll probably be one of my favorites.
