VN - Ren'Py - Innocent Witches [v0.11 Alpha] [Sad Crab]

I've been following its since 2017 and I gotta say: it wasn't a fun ride. I mean, it WAS fun for the first couple of months, perhaps for the first year. Art is amazing, plot is lacking and delivery is nowhere near what one expects. Unfortunately it is a case of wasted potential.

The game itself is a bit too grindy but the gorgeous artwork more than makes up for it. HP universe has plenty of milage for all sorts of kinky stuff.

The 4 main girls are amazing and so are the side chicks + the assistant to boot with.

Some minigames are a bit too boring and repetitive. I also wish there was an option so skip WAY ahead in time. If you miss a weekend event then sometimes you're stuck with weekdays with nothing to do.

I do really enjoy the game personally.
The art is great, I like the fact they did a lot of work on the mini games and mechanims. And it is different from classical trainer like akabur or other games.

Characters are interesting and surprisely, I read the text times to times.

I played it a longtime a ago and when I came back, It was great to see the evolutions event if it is a bit slow.

Hermione for the win !

Too many text for very little sex content, even if you force skip all the dialog you will waste at least 10 hours to get 3,4 scenes, however the art is realy good and it looks like the developer is starting to add more content for the girls so its worth a look at least, just wait 5~6 months for any real changes

Just...just dont bother. By far the most frustrating game i saw on here. The worst pace and balance between fapping/playing. The art is very good which is a real shame. If you want, just download the persistent files and see the memories but i warn you, dont even bother with playing this...chores i can do home.

I had a little disappointment with this game, there were many in fact. I've never seen a trainer game be as long and tiring as this, that's why trainer games don't end up attracting so much attention. I had to look for a way to be able to activate the cheat commands of this game thanks to the community, because the grind is extremely high. Speaking of grinding, another thing that is also tiring, it took me a long time, a long time, to move from acts and chapters. Without a walkthrough it is a little impossible to guess what the next step will be, what to do during the story. The story was one of the things that left me a little disappointed. We spend a lot of time on a little scene, you have no idea how many minutes, hours, it takes to finish one task and go to the next. And to think that we would already interact with the girls, at least one HJ, BJ, but that only happens after many hours and of course accompanying a walkthrough. I'm about to finish the content of the game, there is at least one HJ, BJ, cunniling, sex and only that, and not with all the girls, which is disappointing. I thought the graphics of this game incredible, the gameplay good, but the time you spend playing it, having to keep grinding and instead of going to the point, being more direct, it doesn't happen and it takes time. The game has an excellent quality, the sex scenes are good but for fuck sake, why so much grind man? It is difficult for you to have a feeling that is really corrupting the girls, because everything happens very slowly, I know that the developer wants something more attractive, but it ends up discouraging a lot.
A game that for a long time was a great promise and that nowadays it was being developed slowly, very slowly. I wish there was more content with the girls instead of grind, grind and more grind.

Very nice drawings, and the idea is great. But unfortunately there are a lot of bugs, and it's not intuitive what to do in some situations. In general, I liked the game, I wish the developer to bring the project to the end

10/10

Graphics.-
Perfect. With the own, clean and professional style that this team has us used to. Care down to the smallest detail

Plot.-
One of the best parodies I have seen on the subject. Fine and elegant. The sense of humor continually overflows.
The missions are sometimes complicated, but the hint system helps a lot. And a game is a game!

GUI
Impeccable. Everything is in its place. The configuration system makes the handling very user-friendly.

Contras.-
(if not, someone will think I'm part of the development team!) In the screenshots window, the "open folder" button doesn't work. And the captures must be downloaded one by one ... I would prefer a button to "download them all", or else, as in many other games, when taking a capture it would be saved automatically.

You can be very proud of your work, congratulations.

Edit.-
Pseudo contra:
I don't understand well why the developer team decided to protect the console... This is a games forum, and for a lot of people, break a code is as amusing or more that to play the game.

Awesome pro.-
I didn't tried the animation pack before. I have no words. Perfect. Simply perfect. Understand me well, this is animation. Real animation. Frame to frame. You will find this kind of work in so so few games.

Amazing art, but that's pretty much it

I stuck with this for 3 hours despite the terrible gameplay, because the art was so good. After about 2.5 hours in I had only seen the sex scene from the prologue, waaaay too long, and tedious.

However, even with a walkthrough this game is absurdly convoluted. It's tedious and boring.

I should mention I don't like click adventure games.

Some inconsistencies with the bonus scenes (doesn't make sense in terms of what chapter they're in), and some text with the runes task that is not translated properly. It would be nice if it was possible to select the day of the week you jump to when using the time turner. Else it is a nice game with nice graphics and a good story

Pros:
Graphics and design. Lovely background scenery and models.
The basic UI. It works well and looks nice.
The story.

Cons:
Quests/Minigames. Certain quests, in particular the one with the panties, is nothing but a pain. Quite a few of the quests and minigames are about failing over and over until you realize what the correct pattern/solution is.

Degree of lewdness. While standard progression can be a bit boring, it's quite weird to have a full-on sex scene, while the same girl is unwilling to show herself in underwear during the next quest.

The engine. It seems to perform relatively poorly, even on a modern gen PC. Especially in the "Sonya" menu.

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!
