VN - Ren'Py - Kate [S2 v0.5.1] [WetMelonPlay]

Story/Character:
The story resolves around you playing as a female protagonist named Kate whom you have a boyfriend called Adrian wanting to start a brand new life in a growing city. However she faces challenges (mostly cocks and guys wanting to get in her pants).

Kate is somewhat of a strong willed character, she does not delve into sucking every man cock’s in her sight or by slight peer pressure. A character that has morales that slowly begins to fade as you make more questionable decisions. Regardless she still has morales that she stands upon, however those Morales are a bit contradictory in season 2. The supporting characters of her slutty friends also fan the flame of NTR, encouraging to become more sexually vulnerable and adventurous. Adding spice and more context to the NTR.

However upon Season 2, the tone of the story changes after an incident. I won’t spoil the plot, but she goes WILDDDD. It appears that many people did not like this change of pace. I myself initially loved the change of pace at first, but then you quickly realised that Kate becomes a different person too quickly. She becomes more of an object than a person succumbing to corruption in season 1. I feel like the incident that cause the pace of season 2 should of not changed Kate that dramatically. You could say it was a whirl wind of emotions caused it but had I would say poor character development was the culprit here.

Content:
Happy to comment, there is a decent amount of NTR content in the game. It stems across 2 seasons. Having a great variety of corruption arcs/stories that will cater to most NTR fans. There’s a rich guy who wants to blackmail your boyfriend. Your neighbourhood fat boss. Classic gym bro. Nerdy guy whos rich. As well as little brother whom is clearly 18. Each corruption arc is done adequately and tastefully. But as above changes in season 2. Season 1 is mostly of the slow burn corruption, whilst Season 2 is more of a fuck the consquences and let’s go scenes.

To my pleasant surprise as well there is swinging content that was done very well. The swinging content was actually one of my favourite scenes throughout the game.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is just your typical NTR AVN at the moment. There will be scenarios where you obviously can either pick no or pick yes where you succumb to hands of NTR dudes, It’s pretty standard of the mill and does it’s job well.

I do wish that we could transfer the choices from Season 1 to Season 2, instead of trying to remember the choices.

Visuals:
The visuals are absolutely beautiful. Arguably some of the best I’ve seen in a NTR game. The visuals alone are worth playing this game, if you’re looking for eye candy. All the models even the guy models are done well, except Amanda (you’ll see why, it’s probably on purpose). Kate, the female protagonist is a brunette bombshell. She has a great face and a great body to match as well.

Sex animations are solid and at times very well.. Sex scenes and NTR scenes are thought out, but at times are very oblivious. Some of the sex scenes were so beautiful, they were almost photo-realistic!

The overall feel of the HUD and UI feels very clean. It adds a level of professionalism and polish to the game that makes it feel more premium.

Sound:
The sound design is great! Great music selection in the game. It’s not just one constant background music through the whole game. The music is fitting and catering to each scenario. Moans and sex noise are also great as well.


This was still an great NTR game, that I thoroughly enjoyed and had an immense fappable experience whilst playing it. I rarely play NTR with a main female protagonist, just because I do love the experience of being jealous as a male protagonist. But just the change of pacing and character of Kate season 2 did throw me off. It honestly did lower down to a 4 star because of that. But the sheer quality of the render and sex scenes in season 2 were just so phenomenal alone make the game worthy play even if you're not a fan of NTR.

I just love this girl. She's so cute and at the same time SOOOOO sexy! I really like stories seen from the female side. It's more interesting and it's a real turn-on to read about her feelings and the way she gets horny. It's much more exciting than when it's a guy as MC. Then it's just fuck, fuck, fuck without any deeper emotions.
So I give this Dev 5 stars and he has earned it with his story and excellent graphics.

The graphics are great. Character designs fantastic. But season one as of this post is a mess. The dev rearranged a lot of content but didn't fix the dialogue so you get a lot of references to stuff that hasn't happened. Supposedly he is in the process of fixing that so we shall see. Get that fixed and season one would be a 4 star, with more content for season one it could have been 5 stars. It felt rushed. Season two has me done with the game. Its the reason for a 2 star. If it wasnt for the graphics it would be a 1 star. The friends from season one who seemed like great support characters for Kate have been written into the ground. Kira is increasingly becoming shadier with every scene, Lisa just fucked Archie a day after Kate and him went on break after Kate caught him cheating in the act. Meanwhile Kate is still refusing to get dicked down because "archie deserves better". We are in season 2, and the only guy she has fucked, is her shitty boyfriend who isnt even a her boyfriend anymore? It seems the only intent of season 2 is to ruin characters who you grow fond of in season one and to watch Kates life implode around her and to watch her, do what, complain about a bikini 13 years olds where without any issues in our society and yet Kate says "its too revealing"? Hell na. This dev is wack. Whatever he is doing in season two, he needs to second guess the fuck out of it because he is destroying a game that could have been very good.

This one is on the line for me. The first season is a slow burn but doesn't have a story that's good enough for such a rythm. The choices in it matter so little it feels completely railroaded and they seem not to impact at all on season 2. And then on s2 it flips completely, seems everything suddenly moves up to 1000 and characters take a 180º flip on their personalities.

But render quality is pretty decent to be honest. Animations are a bit basic and clumsy but are improving. Sound doesn't add much, a few things are present but meh.

So, all in all, in the line for me. Probably will drop it but maybe will give it a few more updates to make sure.

S2 V.03

There is some things to like about this one, but quite a bit to not like.

Pros.
1. MC is s.okong hot.
2. Some scenarios are decently thought out and hot.

Cons.
1. Game is almost entirely NPC driven. A NPC suggests something and you the player are given a single Yes/No question, and then then entire scene plays like kinetic novel or you get no scene.

2. MC is very bland and boring in most cases. Most of it leads back to first problem I mentioned. Way to many missed chances to add decisions for the player that are just made indirectly by another NPC or over looked entirely. No chance to actually build Kate's character. Some people quote the writing, I think this is what they actually mean. I Would have much rather seen the NPC's take a step back and let me the player as Kate choose how I want play.. bitchy/stubborn attitude, shy/submissive tybe, or just a cheating slut. Lol, but all these decisions are just completely taken our of your hands.

Some Examples:

1. Harry route. Instead of Kate getting to choose how to react to Harry, maybe dumping coffee on his, or just ignoring it, or egging him on.. Instead no decision is given and Archie shows up and just beats the crap out of him. Which now completely makes no sense that we've gone from just one date of being blackmailed into, to a second date and having love fantasies about.

2. Lisa And Kira. Basically both are shameless whores who will just throw themselves at every guy they come into contact with, and Kate is just left watching, going well I guess this is just how people act. I myself would have liked to see a complete 360 degree reversal where Lisa and Kira were a little more normal and Kate being the being the one given the decision to act out and how. Like at the gym with Lisa.. Instead of Lisa doing all the slutty teasing, Kate should have been the one to get to decide how she wants to act, remain loyal, light teasing, or leaning into the whole situation, and then Lisa being the one to kinda question Kate later on her behavior and mentioning Archie.

3. Office with Oscar. At the beginning it was fun learning that there was some competition for the position with Oscar. Once again I was hoping Rose was just kinda of a regular bland character and maybe have the possibility to either legitimately out perform her for the position or play the shy submissive style do anything he wants just to get the postion, or slut herself out to win... but once again, doesn't take long to figure Rose is just a other shameless whore where if Oscar wanted to he could strip her naked, put a collar and leash on her and walk her around the office and show off his little per and she would do it. So now what... Kate's just supposed to out whore the whore. Once again Kate is just in the back seat watching going "Well, I guess that's just how people act."

4. Poker with Alex. The whole thing comes down to witch outfit you choose weather you win or lose. The rest just plays like a KN. Once again Kate should have been given decisions at the game to determine what the outcome was, Does she stop Archie from drinking? Does she Tease the the others to distract them? Does she take the bet for the lower to do whatever the winner says? Does she actually want to win? The whole thing could have been smoking hot and way better, but none of that ever happens.

I could name more but those are just some examples of events where I envisioned more and just didn't get it.

Conclusion:
I can see how the game has many ranging ratings. It's mostly hit yes to see scenes or no to not. If you like the scenes as they are then you'll prolly like the game, but if you're like me and saw so manny more chances for more depth and character building. Then you probably won't be to impressed with it.

Kate is a VN featuring a very pretty girl named Kate, her boyfriend Archie, and a supporting cast of characters interested in corrupting or otherwise utilizing her to their own ends.

The game is extremely pretty, both the characters and the environments. Absolutely no complaints in that regard. The animations are fairly short and a little awkward to navigate around given how they're linked with the text, but still a positive.

The story and characters are rather lacking however. While the story might be about Kate, she has very little agency despite being the protagonist. There is a hidden corruption stat that locks or unlocks certain story options, but the overall path of the story is set in stone, or at least part one is. While not innately awful, it's more than a little annoying because of the illusion of choice. There are a lot of big choices that should change things and don't.

And even beyond the choices themselves, Kate has little in the way of agency. Throughout the story, Kate is constantly and consistently acted upon, never the actor herself. While Kate might choose how she reacts to other characters, choosing her own fate is completely beyond her. Her job wants to put her in a maid outfit, her friends want to go to the beach, Archie wants to go to poker night, her boss wants her to attend a dinner party; notice how all these actions follow the desires of other characters and not Kate. The only time we see what Kate wants in this story is through her thoughts, never her actions. The story would be greatly improved if Kate were progressing towards a goal or vision of her choosing rather than those around her.

There are some strong scenes in the story, particularly of the sexy variety, but they frequently feel like unrelated one shots rather than an over arching plot. While having a sporadic beach trip or vacation is fine, I feel like the game stretched unnecessarily when it gave Kate two jobs with two different storylines rather than focusing entirely on one. It would have made everything feel more cohesive.

Overall, Kate is a very well presented game that lacks the story and characters to really take it to the next level. While the art and some of the scenes are very worthwhile, there is a whole lot of mainly tedious story to work your way through to get to them. Nevertheless, the game is really pretty enough to make your efforts worthwhile.

One of the best female protagonist games out there!Great renders, I like the scenario and Kate’s choices are always realistic. The last scene of the first season is a masterpiece! I am looking forward for season 2! Well done!

Absolutely shocking, the game fell off a cliff this season. Pointless writing, no direction in the plot, horrible lewd scenes and to top it off less and less content. No point of playing a Kinetic Novel portrayed as a VN.

beautiful characters and 3D graphics. Good story, I especially like that there are swingers here. There are few games like this where both the graphics and the plot are at a high level. There are also animations, which is also nice. I like it, I'm waiting for the update.

The renders are decent and over all it is not that bad.

During S1 it felt quite nice, but choices seem to be disconnected to the story and that became evident with S2. Your choices dont matter at all. The story is linear and you only get short term "consequences". So you have no impact at all and that is a no go for me. I dont like kinetic novels for that reason and this doesnt feel that different.

For ppl that dont care about choices ... add 1-1,5 stars.

Edit:
Previously gave this game 4 stars for the content provided in Season 1, but everything turned to shit from Season 2 onward.

The code is an absolute nightmare, the English translation is so bad that it's almost comical, bugs left and right, story is getting worse, lots of scenes don't make any sense in terms of dialogue and the choices you've made previously.

The transition from Season 1 to Season 2 in regards to the choices is a nightmare aswell as you literally have to remember every choice you've made since the game does not transfer anything over to Season 2. You are getting prompts during scenes asking you for what choice you picked previously, which is bad for many obvious reasons.

As it currently stands, this is a 1 star game for me as it's borderline unplayable and the parts that are playable are so terribly written that you get second hand embarrassment out of it.

The developer might want to play his own game for once to see the mess he's made.

The story is, frankly speaking, boring. The writer certainly didn't bother enough to create anything unique. Just a usual story about slow and gradual corruption of a female MC. Which is rather rare nowadays, to be honest. They usually go from total innocence to the city biggest slut in a matter of a few in-game minutes. Still, the story can't be called interesting.

The renders are good, even very good sometimes. Characters look rather unique and memorable, Kira is my personal favourite.

The reason I gave this game a 4/5 is the fact that the developer is actually doing their job, I stumbled upon the game a long time ago and it was a total mess. There were plot holes all over the place, as if some parts of the game were omitted or removed for some reason. The writing was a total disaster as well, the game was either translated from some language by a total amateur or even auto-translated. Now, it's obviously written by someone who actually knows the language.

Overall, a mediocre game but the degree of changes in development is admirable. Keep it up!

Kate [S1 Beta]

Pros:
Decent Renders
Decent Character Models

Neutral:
sex scenes are ok

Cons:
Image errors
Story feels dull
writing
Bugs?

I think this game looks fairly decent and has some scenes I enjoyed.
But sadly, that´s pretty much it. The Story is nothing to write home about.
The plot feels way too copied and pasted, and reminds me of dozen other games.
The writing is pretty poor and you lose connection to the story pretty quickly.
I´m not sure if it´s a bug or bad game design, but I had to repeat certain scenes, like the massage scene, multiple times to get ahead.
There were at least 5-6 image errors, and if you choose to skip, you won´t see the dialogues.
To me, the game feels too uninspired and uninteresting.

Great game so far... wish the sex scenes were a little bit longer. Kate is the sexiest character of any game I've played, in my opinion. Looking forward to see how her story unfolds. The innocent sweetheart that she is along with her curiosity and craving for more experiences will make for a interesting adventure.

One of the better female protag games out there. The english isnt the best but its certainly understandable and the slow corruption of Kate is just getting better and better. I highly recommend it for people that love the genre of slow corruption.

Not sure why its only got 3.3 average I guess a few mistakes in an unfinished *free*game are too much for some people...its a solid corruption game, or will be when finished. The Art is good and the writing is a lot better than some of the higher rated games on F95 imho. Kate is beautiful as as well and Kira. Thumbs up from me I'll be watching this. 4 out of 5...we need more like this please.

v0.8 played it all the way
copied story, barely any choices, flawed to terrible english, nonsensical towards the end. Has some potential but it needs some more effort.

It seemed to have good potential at first, because i like that kind of female mc corruption/cheating story and the main character looks great, but honestly it's not worth playing in it's current state.

The story is mostly copied from Anna: Exciting Affection, which is not entirely bad, but it's hard to tell if the dev is capable of making something good on his own.

The story gives you barely any choices, it's mostly kinetic. The writing won't win any prices, there are quite a few empty phrases and repetition, though rarely any big irrelevant paragraphs like in lots of other VNs, so i would say it's about average.
The english on the other hand is bad. There are lots of mistakes. For the most part it's still easy to understand, but it can get annoying. Towards the end of this version, it gets worse.

The story gets worse towards the end too. It does get more original and i like the idea of a lot, but it also feels like there is a time skip or some missing scenes, as characters reference stuff that didn't happen and the relationship between the bf and one of his coworkers just seems to be bad because the dev wants it to be (show, don't tell!)

might be worth playing once it's further in development

So far, everything is great, though, I would like, more erotic content (H-Scenes), I hope that they will appear soon.
You have a great game, only remains to improve it. If you think about the concept of sandbox, I think you get only one pluses.
1) Repetitive H-Scenes, you can go to maximum, satisfying many preferences of the players - Old Men, Incest, young boys (schoolboy), drunks, gangsters, dark alleys, beach, solicitation in the subway / bus / park / cafe, glory hole, showers in the gym, cleaning house, babysitting.
2) Development of relations with the character of interest to get points for the opening of new H-Scenes (this is an erotic game, and we are all here for that , dating, movies, cafes / restaurants, walks in the park. You can collect scenes from these places and just change the characters and dialogue with them, this will expand the content and give extra time to develop something else.

+ A certain grind for the development of relationships (the main thing to keep the line), it will allow players to linger in the game a little longer than the classic version with 200-300 pictures. You'll have more time to develop new versions of the game.

The premise is solid, the renders are decent, the animations are definitely on the weak side... but what kills this game is the absolute ton of unnecessary dialogue. There's just sooo many meaningless conversations that lag on forever that it quickly becomes painful to try and read everything.

When you stop really reading and just click like a madman to try and find something more interesting, you'll really be blown away about how little there is to actually see in this game.

The female MC with a corruption twist is exactly my genera, but the writing makes this game borderline unplayable.

The game starts being good even if the plot being washed and used over many games but it's still attractive for a porn game, renders are good sex scenes are meeh, corruption is not bad, but once you reach a certain point in the game the text becomes gibberish, like a japanese game MTL peotry, sentences are not making any scenes and character sometimes talk about events you never seen, its a complete mess, i dropped the game midways since i can't follow the story anymore and it became incoherent gibberish.
I think all the good reviews were coming from the earlier versions where only the "good" lines were available, as i said once you pass them the game is unplayable (unreadable since there isn't gameplay to begin with).
My advice for the dev is to get a proper translator or a story writer that speak fluent english, VN have no game play only erotic scenes and story to follow. If the story isn't making any sense then what's the point at looking at silly mid quality porn 3d renders.
