VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Kimberly's Life [v0.13] [SpaceBall1]

It's nice to see a developer so passionate about his project. That always bodes well for reader satisfaction, unless of course, you're one of those who can't understand that not everyone has a Disney budget and retiree time on their hands.

The premise is simple, dark, and fun. It's a "what if..." story that allows one's imagination to run wild with possibilities. The characters are either beautiful, or beautifully wretched. MC is a bombshell who stubbornly persists in her naivete despite every red flag warning that bad people with bad intentions are at hand.

This VN is about a gorgeous gal trying to just get through life, unaware of the fires that she's setting in the hearts, minds, and loins of every man she encounters. SpaceBall1 goes into all those places and pulls that story out and presents it here for everyone to see and enjoy.

The corruption and debauchery is rampant and juicy. One had best be prepared for that upon entry. There are other VN's on this site that take a more realistic look at the subject, but this is intended to be more of a fantasy as one should be able to easily see by the caricatures of the old men. In other words, if you're willing to go in looking for that odd couple of fun and degradation you'll find it here.

3 stars for me cause:

pros:
+ many creepy old man which is very welcome
+ a female mc which has a solid not too doll like face
+ solid renders
+ good english and good visible text
+ not too confusing or too long till some action happens

cons:
- all girls especially the mc could be much curvier (reference here are girls like daval3d girls for example)
- she gives in a bit too easy with no choices and a few choices would make it more spicy
- not a big fan of her haircut even its okay
- not the biggest fan of the other girls faces - but if mc gets improved i wouldn't mind at all


hot kinky idea with a hot kinky direction in solid quality but lacks the final for me personally important touch to be not only content to being able to jerk off to

Let's give it some time. I really wouldn't rate it more than 3 stars right now, but I liked its first iteration (hometown trap) and I don't want to lower the average too much being the first ratings. But honestly I think some things need to be improved.
The renders are correct, but with nothing that stands out today. Pretty simple and flat actually. But they work. Female models are good. The masculine ones are very ugly, but it is something sought after and it seems fine to me.
The story is very similar to Hometown Trap. It's basic and not too original, but I don't expect anything dazzling from a porn game either. Correct for me.
Gameplay is non-existent. I'm already getting used to that, even though I still think it's a waste. Why not make a comic if there is no gameplay?

In general, as I have already mentioned, it is a correct game without anything that stands out. It really does not deserve more than 3 stars because it is there, in the middle, in the basics. Comply without further ado. But we will give it 4 since it is starting.

I don't ordinarily review a first release, especially with five stars, but I want to balance out the other reviewer(s) giving one-star just because they don't like the genre.

This is a game about a bunch of old/ugly guys harassing the female protagonist. There are lots of games in the genre, and fans will approve. It's bleaker than most, maybe even more than the dev's other game -- the protagonist is definitely motivated by blackmail/etc. rather than lust, like most games in the genre -- but personally I think it's refreshing compared to other games that try to work outrageously illegal harassment into real life storylines, not to mention make the woman LIKE it.

The writing is not subtle, but it's written by someone fluent in English, which is a big improvement over many other games.

Personally I think this and the dev's other game could have still worked in the same story -- have the old guys plot against both to add them to their prior conquests as one big town harem -- but devs are their game's most important fan and they should do what keeps them going.
