VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Karacan [v0.31] [GrumpyGranny]

+ The renders are good.
+ The general premise could be interesting.

This could have been a light and fun game, but ...

- The story and dialogues are simply stupid.
- The choices are terrible and stupid.
- Annoying.
- Misogynic.
- Unsexy.
- Not entertaining.

Conclusion:
If you need a game to express your hate of Greta Thunberg, this may be your game.

[v0.31]

After playing the dev's other game, Cure for Madness, I was eager to try this out too. Cure for Madness was a definite 5/5 female protag VN. This one... didn't quite get there.

I could place this anywhere between 3 or 4 stars, but went with 3 due to personal preferences. This game doesn't take itself seriously. That is intentional. It's goofy and the tone is nonsensical. Some people might like that, but it really takes me out of the story, personally.

There is still an underlying story that is quite interesting. The dev is definitely a good writer and knows how to build up the corruption and cheating aspects. Compared to his other game, the characters here are definitely more porny on average. That said, there flashes of legit character development, especially for the boyfriend.

Personally, I think the purpose of this project is for the dev to let loose and unwind with a silly story in between updates of the more serious Cure for Madness.

This isn't a bad game at all. I could even say it's pretty good. If you like the more porny and silly scenarios, this might entertain you more. If you like stories that take itself seriously, you might find it lacking.

The best thing the dev did with this game is switching to Renpy from RPGM engine. I think very few devs managed to do that and it deserves a special mention along other pros this game has.
9/10 MC: Very beautiful and determined just like how you'd want your female mcs to be.
9/10 Graphics: Scenes are made with attention to lightning and small details which is the best, the only problem is quality and i think its devs rig to blame.
10/10 Plot and setting: Its something new and good enough to keep things interesting.
7/10 Corruption: There's something going on but its nothing special.

+ good looking fmc
+ self-aware humor
+ simple premise
+ big potential

if from time to time the shot of en island would make this game even better
( deeper immersion into the world of the game )
PS. wanted to give 4.5/5 but couldn't

I was wobbling between 4 and 5 stars, it shows so much promise that I'll bump it to 5, even though the content isn't quite there yet.
This is worth a play, almost already at v.0.1 which I rarely ever play. The story and corruption has been seen before in other games, but it is done rather nicely in this one. Another reviewer found the story and dialogue stupid, I think it's pretty tongue in cheek, and not close to as stupid as 90% of the stuff posted to F95.
You'll like this game if you like female POV with lots of possibilites of corruption by perverts and the likes.

+ The MC and her boyfriend are likeable.
+ The renders are good.
+ The general premise of investigating a shady business is interesting.

- The story and dialogues are stupid. I find that rather annoying than funny.
- Annoying perverts.

Conclusion:
This game invokes feelings of resentment. I can understand why people create such stuff, but it doesn't mean I would like it.

[v0.1]

My Rating of [v0.11] is:

Pros:
+ Nice Renders
+ Active Play
+ Nice characters

Cons:
- Not much happening yet

Conclusion:

The Game is Nice.
Not much going on right now,but I like the characters in the Game.
The renders are good,and I love the Info widow on the rop right, letting the player know what he has to do next,without getting lost.
will keep an eye out on this game and will rate it as it moves on.
Interesting Game......Keep it UP.

My Advisory:
Damn worth the Download

Version played 0.11

At first I was going to give this an average rating, because there's not a lot of content yet and I don't know which way this is going to proceed.
But I liked it so far and the dev could always use a headsup to I'm adding a star.

The things I liked:
- Humor and an overall lighthearted tone, combined with apropriate music
- MC is likeable. Knows what she wants and goes for it, but is at the same time rather naive
- This is the first RPGM game I come across where you can save at choices. Nice!

Things I didn't like:
- Well it's RPGM so there's a lot of running around (go home, go to that building, go to your bed, etc...)

Concluding: I really like the other two games of the dev (too bad one is on hold), so I'm rather positive about this one.
