VN - Ren'Py - It Was Raining That Night [v0.12] [VeronicaPerv]

[v0.3]
I have to be honest here, i was way too hesitant to try another game from Deafpervs due to some obvious reasons like if i remember correctly his another vn was total disappointment for me. I was expecting this to be his half hearted effort to make it up after that fuck up; but I swear i don't know why but i feel strangely satisfied to be proven wrong.

Roller-coaster of a ride this was. Started with a bang like no other vn out there or which i played, something refreshing to see when a girl is trying to hit on mc rather than mc himself, she experienced what people call that, oh yeah 'love at first sight'... And why not she was clear in what she wanted and desired so was mc, hesitant a bit at the start but that's expected. I liked her character, Emma.

Perfect male friend who respects your comfort space, is there whenever you need him, ready to sacrifice whatever he can just for that friendship, and vice versa.

Another little thing which i liked here was light hearted humor even from dare i say father in law. Were clever & to the point.

I literally felt helpless when he was lying in the hospital bed, unconscious and all that secrecy behind health condition of Emma wasn't helping either, i just skipped every renders which didn't had them after accident because i wanted to know are they alive and alright, am i going to find that out in this episode itself or is that going to be worst cliffhanger ever. Anxiety man, worst feeling that is. Popped some benzoD just in case.

Writing and story direction were pretty impressive, not many options to choose from so might come later updates, great renders and animations, i always thought Deafpervs doing injustice to himself more than anyone. Can't wait man.
Little warning for you guys in disguise of friendly reminder, i mean I'm one kind soul, Emma better be OK or else I'm going to see you in hell and that meeting won't be as pretty as Emma.

I tried this game for the first time today. I'm gonna say this was much better than their other game. The story is great and it's entertaining. The characters are pretty likable. The women are hot and sexy especially Analia, Carol and Lexi. The animations are great as well. Looking forward to more content soon!

This was kinetical there is one choice you can make that will branch the story. Even though there is not that much difference in both paths. You can choose between Lexi and Carol that's it. But the story is good and girls are beautiful. It's short. As long as the story is good I don't worry about the kinetical part. Writing is not bad. But this not the Dev's main game. But this one is surely worth playing. If you are looking for good story game try this. That being said story is not fresh we have seen this kinda plot in many movies. But it's fresh in the game category. Looking forward to next updates

Let me start with one thing. A rating of three is not a bad game for me.
It is either an average game or a game with serious flaws but with potential to be really good.
For me, giving a game that you like five stars just because you like it, while completely ignoring the weaknesses or even if there is barely enough game to make any form of judgement; anything like that is simply wrong.

That's why, in all fairness, even though I like it, I can't give the game more than 3 stars.
The artwork for the game is okay, the models are mostly fine, if nothing sensational.
The story isn't anything special, but that doesn't matter if it is done well.
In this case here, however, the writing has significant flaws.
It's never unreadable, but there are way too many typos, especially since running the text through spellchecker could get rid of most of them.
There are a lot of very awkward sentences, some are just plain and simple wrong.
Especially the dialogue and thoughts of the characters are way too simple, often they seem outright childish.

Another problem is the pacing, while on one hand we have lots of dialogue that seems too extensive, on the other hand the story just rushes along, so much so that I felt left behind at times. That doesn't mean I don't understand what's happening, I think it is happening too fast or with not enough explanation for WHY and HOW it is happening.

Okay, that was a lot of criticism, but it's not a bad game. It could be a great game, if the flaws were fixed.

The simplest one to fix is the typos. Just run a spellcheck and have someone who does alright with grammar read through the result to fix instances where a similar sounding word is used, that means something completely different.
The writing is harder to fix, but in their other game the devs seem to handle it much better, so maybe work together on the writing or whoever is editing "Seducing the devil" should be asked to do the same here.

As for pacing, I don't know, for me this also shouldn't be that hard. Read through the game as if it wasn't yours, and whenever it seems to rush or to stall, change it. Don't be afraid to rework the timeline of events, or at least show more of why and how things are developing like this.
Right now, for example, the main love story seems completely like Emma is an infatuated teenager. There's simply no reason why she should love the MC, apart from initially finding him cute and nice. And the MC on the other hand has no reason to love Emma, it seems way more as if he feels it is his duty to love her, due to her feelings appearing to be so strong (which is ironic, because like I wrote it seems more like infatuation than real love from her).

This game has potential, I will definitely check out the next few versions to see if it uses that potential to grow.

Interesting story with an intriguing plot
Great renders with hot models the animations are smooth too
Good writing so it's engaging

All in all it's has great potential to be a great VN with a good story and something to look forward to see how the plot unravels
Goodluck dev keep up the good work.

It's not quite a perfect game yet but that's not to say this isn't a good game.

It's a diamond in the rough. For as much and time and effort the devs have gone through with COVID, their own work schedules, and overall funding for the game, this game truly does have a ton of quality renders and animations on display for us to enjoy.

Aside from some slight typos and Engrish, the dialogue is pretty fluid and believable. Characters all have some depth to them and set the table for nice development in the future.

Pacing is the only thing I'll really have to nitpick on as we have already had more than a few high scale conflicts within the first two versions of this chapter. It's a lot to spring on users all at once before getting a chance to get to know everyone all that well. I personally think there should be a bit more focus on the family and getting the MC settled in rather than jumping into the thick of things

All that said, I still enjoyed it. @DeafPervs I know the going is tough but you have done a great job all things considered. Keep it up and guys - support him!

What a little gem of a VN, i can already see that i am going to enjoy this one, i love it when a VN pops up in the update section and turns out to be really good.

Loving the story, its already covered a real nail biter event that came slightly by surprise. The renders are very well done and the girls are beautiful, and not ones i have seen before (i dont think).

Having this and their other vn shows a dev with a real talent for story telling and creating great visuals.

@ the dev, thank you and i can wait for the next update

One of my favorite VNs.
★ IT WAS RAINING THAT NIGHT REVIEW
I'm writing this review after playing Version: 0.1. Here's what I liked and did not like so far.

+ THE STORY:
The story is amazing. I have got to say it’s one of the best on the site. 0.1 ended with a cliffhanger and has me waiting for more.
+ WRITING:
The writing is top tier and the pacing is good. Dialogues are interesting enough to keep you engaged. Didn’t find any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors either.
+ MC:
Handsome, likeable and relatable!
+ CHARACTERS:
We have met 3 Love Interests as of 0.1. All of them are beautiful. It’s hard to make a game where every single character is likeable, this is one of the rare ones. Every single character has a distinct personality and feel very realistic. Even the overprotective father has a soft side.
+ VISUALS:
Beautiful Renders. Even the animation is top tier.
+ GAMEPLAY:
It won’t be a sandbox from what I can tell so that’s a plus.
+ CHOICES?
Good number of choices for a first release. Has two different routes you can follow and improve your relationship with one of the two love interests of your choice.

+/- THE SEX SCENES:
Fappability - 2/5 One animated defloration scene as of 0.1. It was kind of short for a sex scene but very well made.

VERDICT:
Highly Recommend! Very rarely do I come across a game where I can’t find any flaws, there’s always either the story, writing, MC, characters or something wrong but not this, this game is perfect to me but maybe not for everyone.

Version Played: v0.2

Time to Complete: 1 hour.

TL;DR: A VN in the strongest sense, with minimal choices but an intriguing story.

[3.5/5] Story: This is a VN in the strongest sense. The story, as said in OP, is clearly set in stone and choices (probably) won't have much, if any, effect on the wider story or on future events. I do think the underlying story, while still early in development, may in the end turn out to be quite interesting.

[2/5] Writing: I do not like this game's writing style. It's very brief and to the point, leading to rapid pacing which makes it difficult to get attached to the characters. Additionally, it occasionally feels as if some important information may have been left out when writing.

[3.5/5] Renders: While this game does have beautiful characters and great overall renders, not all are perfect. Although a lot of work has clearly been done into making the scenes the best that they can, there are a few points that the dev needs to work on. Namely, character expressions and depth of field. Some expressions look unnatural and there are a few renders where depth of field is much stronger than it should be, with everything being out of focus, even the characters.

i can 't say enough Good things about this. i sucked me and held me close. despite the 'time' jumps i was able to follow fine. i played this right away.. unlike many others that sit in que for weeks. and i was blown away!!! first release and it is almost a whole story, makes me wonder what comes next. i haven't played 'StD' so know nothig of 'forced' content in the comments but i didn't see that here. and the V stands for Veteran vn.reader. i have read hundreds of these things and there is a LOT of crap out there that get high praise from small dick rich kids, but if you want a real story and real hotties... this is a GREAT one. i just hope the DEV can continue this.

The very first impression or the first think that came to mind when I think if this game is the expression. They are really well rendered and each face represents the feeling shown int dialogues below. Story is good, just a perfect blend of everything. Renders as mentioned are really good and a bit unique. Facial details are top notch and agreeably one of the best. Game ends at a very unique moment to leave you hanging what's gonna happen next and to wonder why role will the third cover character will play. I know it would be a lot of work but I would like to see a Lexi and a Carol path too where MC is just a bodyguard. I read on th OP that the story is already ready so I won't mind. To sum it up, it's a brilliant game. Keep up the good work .

The story is interesting, and really makes you wonder what will happened next.
The dialogue is very well written and the top cherry of the game, all the characters have their own personality including MC.
The models looks great and different from what i seen before which adds a fresh air to the game.

My rating for v0.1 is..

Pros:
-Nice action
-No boring moments
-no hard game Play
-Fantastic Graphics

Cons:
-waiting for the next release.

Love this game,pretty long for a first release,hope to see more of this game,and that it doesn't take to long, game stops when the suspense is the highest....
Worth the download.

MC is dense but hopefully won't become intolerable. That cliffhanger ... Interesting to see where this goes.

Visuals are average to good. Has some animations. So far the game is focusing on story but has a couple scenes.

Hoping for more choices as this goes on but solid first episode. Good start!

Superb game man. I really loved the story. Can't wait for the next update.
And what about the other game seducing the devil when can we expect the next update. I feel a bit sad for not hitting on any other girls other than Emma . But the ending gave shock man.
