VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Kindread: The Redburns [Ch. 5] [Inkalicious]

Great game in development.

Well written story with thought through character development an d very nice graphics and animations.

Plenty of options for the story to develop in many different ways.

I am looking forward to future releases.

Well I wrote my heartfelt review & failed to finish posting it so I'll keep this short & sweet.
This game is easily in my top 5 for Most Entertaining. Its comical,contains a balanced mixture of lewdness bottled with refreshing suspense.
I hope the dev continues to share his gift/art with the world. Thanks~

I don't know why but whenever i'm playing this game i can't help but feel like i'm 'playing' a comic book. I think that's really cool.

I feel like the dev has been setting up a nice little story here and biggger things are coming our way, and i just can't wait to see what he's planned for us.

Give it a shot and you will not regret.

My God this game is dull. Its all handjobs or bjs, the female characters are going to end up with arthritis. Point being there is ZERO variety in the game, its tedious & repetitive have pretty much the same scene play out with zero options.

Pros & Cons
Cool Premise/Badly Implemented
Good animations/Dull unlikable Characters

That's pretty much all I have to say about the game

Review as of Ch5.

Personally I don't like playing as a pervy voyeurstic MC, its just sooo nasty imo. And you play as that type of character here. Fortunately this character(mc) and the rest of the main cast do have some kind of character development. And this pervy style of mc DOES fit into the plot of the game! Story wise, its not that original, most if not all type of zombie game/movie have the same plot, except in here there is an incest IF you played the "family edition" if your not into that there is a standard edition so kudos for adding something like that officially.

Character models, what can i say. its honey select, not much you can do to make it more customizable/better looking. Fortunately this game has, if im not mistaken, original models that I havent seen yet in other games.

Choices: you get to pick your romance route, or dominating route or don't pursue route, but i believe the last one only applies to a 3rd character.(NOT 100%sure)

overall I like the pacing, story even if I've seen it countless of times, the ride itself is entertaining! I would add 1 more star if there is a plan for a harem ending. cheers!

I like the story and character development. Minor cons would be some scenes are lack lighting, Megan has piercing on her tits but dats just my personal preference, no sounds like ambient music or voice of character which would make the game more alive. Good game

The game is a visual novel style game set in a postapocalyptic world.

The game has already great adult content and manages to start it of fast, while providing enough build up to make it much less stagering (or dumb) than many other games, and ramp up its quality over time. Short timeskips and backstory are used smartly.
The graphics, which are good enough, but shine because of the good art direction,

Whats there is great, though later in the game (when the implemented sexy times reached their high) it gets rather choppy and characters get just a little more reckless than i think is reasonable. This might be ironed out with further chapters.
A personal luxery problem: The starter cast is so appealing that later lover interests seem less interesting, though the last you meet, just before the game ends, might bring something interesting to the table.

As soon as the game started, I was hooked. The character renders are beautiful and plentiful. The bleak setting is a refreshing change of pace from the more common slice of life games that I'm used to. Very sexy models.

I felt as though the models/renders need work. None of the modlels seem finished. The depth of field was very good and there need to be some work done on the "lawns" in this release. The story was decent, though i'm not really a zombie fan, it was a decent story line. I would recommend a playthrough.

So many games i've played but this one just tops the chart, especially the story writing, i am actually invested and read through all the scenes word by word due to how engaging and captivating the story is, the slow seduction and all, even your choices matter and changes the story.

If every game had a story writer like this i would be so damn happy, also bonus is mom looks super hot

I saw the game show up on the forum for a year or so and honestly it just didn't appeal to me with the models it had, didn't like the art style though the post-apocalypse survival really appealed to me. After a year of not wanting to play it I decided to just give it a shot because I was bored out of my mind and holy shit, the game is amazing. Writing is top notch in regards to sister mc relationship and how it suddenly escalates in a natural manner. Just love it. Hope the author includes some heavy impreg dirty talk and content but otherwise 10 out of 10 must play

This game didn't make me skip through any dialogue. This is a super rare feat nowadays, only about 5% of adult games I've played has ever managed this and it's a huge testament to the writing skills of the dev. The characters and dialogues feel natural and real despite the kinda weird setting for this game and is oftentimes quite funny. The sex scenes feel real and not just put in there for fap material. Well, some of it is a bit far-fetched, but it's not too out there.

The girls are really hot but if I were to nitpick anything it would be the kinda low resolution grainy renders. I guess this is because the dev does not have the top-of-the-line graphics cards the other high-end devs use. I don't really mind, I just feel like a review should contain both positives and negatives. It's still a solid 5/5 overall.

If you enjoy games with good writing, then this is definitely for you!

Version CH-4
Ah, yes a post apocalyptic game...

Story 8.5/10
Now, I'm someone who can't really, for lack of a better word, get off to anything that's written poorly. I'm a snob when it comes to literature, despite messing up my grammar 78% of the time...
I digress, that's enough about moi, time to get into the bread and butter that is "Kindread: The Redburns'" story.
For a post-apocalyptic game it's somewhat unique. There isn't a lot of emphasis on the whole Fuck Fuck Fuck (Well there is, but... Well it's kind of hard to describe) the game chooses to build relationships and to practice the art that is Character Development! Thank god, it's about time games tried this! The writing itself is flawless when it comes to use of english and prose. It often comes across as witty and humorous (Well, I'd rate the humor as 6/10) and this is very refreshing. At times the story does seem predictable and somewhat cringy. However, I would say that it's well written story makes up for its faults.
To conclude: I would rate this: (Perhaps you should try writing books, I'm sure you'd sell more than that shitty J.K Rowling!"

Renders 7/10:
They're crisp and well made. They do not feel as if they have been half-arsed by some amateur, which instantly sets it apart from the rest. I'll be honest with you; there's not much you can say really when commenting in the renders of anything... I would say, however, that they are good (URGH, my own writing is giving me an migraine, how hypocritical!)
To conclude: I would rate the still images as: "Crisp, like mother's bacon!"

Animations: 5/10: Talk about building something up just to let it crash and burn...
Now, if you haven't already guessed, I'm also a snob when it comes to animation; despite not being a graphics designer or even passing ICT with an A*. Now, the animation is that pseudo 3 stills back and forth and they don't seem to run very graciously, at all. However, that can all be forgotten. What really pisses the mighty God3333 off is that one scene the MC's cock phases into the chicks skin, and you can see it! I swear I expect better from a game that has as good writing as this! Utterly disgraceful... Yurusarenai!
To conclude: I would rate the animations in this game as: "Are you True Geordie? Because I think he just took a massive shit on the chest of Mrs. Animations!"

Community Interaction 8/10:
Ah yes, who was the last one to win (Yes of course, my feedback is a reward... I am Kami after all) this title was "Sir Dammed" the creator of Polarity : The dev was very active within the games forum which is something I love to see. It reminds us idiots that the people that make these games are just like us, thirsty, disgusting twats that should be shot...
Anyway... I would say that after doing a brief check (5 clicks in total!) that this Dev seems to be active within the community. On a side note (Community) I noticed that the Dev posts directly to F95Zone and also does not raise money for this project. Now yes, It pisses all of us off when a game creator is penalized for making content that is not PC enough or goes against patreon's rules (Yes, I'm looking at you, those that have played rape day!). It's nice to see that this dev goes about it in a different way!
To Conclude: I would rate the community interaction of this game as "I HaD An ErRoR wItH mY gAmE, aNd He HeLpEd mE"

Personal views:
First things foremost, I want to apologize for posting such a badly written review. I'm tired okay! "No sleep for the wicked" or some shit like that!

I would say that this game is rather refreshing and lends itself well to its post-apocalyptic niche rather well! I'm not only intrigued by the story but am impressed by the writing that I got to consume (You're not at Robert Muchamore's level yet...".
I do believe that this game has a chance (Deus does see potential as he does with all most every other game he has reviewed) to become something great. It's just the animations that really ruin this game!

However, as I have said before I am a man of improvement, therefor I will give the game a chance! One cha- three, three I said three chances!

Good luck with this game "Inkalicious" and I wish you good luck in thy future endeavors!

To conclude: God shall bestow upon this game a rating of 7/10 (But damm, that bacon smells good!)

As of Ch.4 Part 1 with incest patch and love paths

Awesome. Just Awesome. And here’s why:

Story: Don’t expect walls of expository text, you’re dumped right into the middle of the action and it is only through the conversations between the characters and your observation of what is going on in the background that you gradually understand. It is many months after the contagion hits and although zombies still wander the city streets there are other threats which have forced this tight family unit to strike out on their own. But while survival is important, the focus is on the relationships between the son, mother, and sister; how they deal with the crushing trauma they have undergone and how they find healing, comfort, and relief in each other’s company. This may change as future updates unfold, as we’ve already encountered one other character, and more are on the way.

Characters: Meagan--the mother—has kept this family together and is a tough woman who would do anything to keep them alive and to help them cope with their situation. But she also has need for comforting and healing, and her radical solution to a family crisis exposes her need. Sam—the sister—is coping as best she can but is keeping something hidden that will change things forever. (Insert your name here)—the MC—is a hormonal teenage male, but he also carries his weight in the struggle for survival and the conflict between familial love and hormonal lust may lead to something much more powerful and fulfilling (if you make the right choices).

Character Design: Redheads. Freckles. Green Eyes. Gorgeous. But also realistic body proportions (the MC’s equipment is on the large size, but not outrageously so). Inkalicious has taken the time to make minute changes from frame to frame to show subtle emotions, so it’s worth your while to look for a raised eyebrow or a shallow smile to try and understand how your responses and actions are impacting the other characters.

Sex: A bit of a slow burn up to chapter 3, with both teasing and hanky panky going on, but chapter four starts with a bang and we’ve been foreshadowed that a lot more action is on the way. The sex is hot, but often loving, and the two separate moments when you deeply kiss your mother and sister, stare into their lambent green eyes, and tell them you love them too, are incredibly intense.

Visuals: It’s a zombie apocalypse in a ruined city. Everything is dirty. The only light in the evening is from candles or a crank flashlight. And the most recently introduced character, Maria, has to beg water to wash herself clean since she’s so grimy she actually resembles the undead. The renders are done well, but fit into the setting.

Gameplay: It’s a VN but your choices do matter. There is no cellphone or walkthrough to guide you, so listen closely to what the characters are saying and look closely at their reactions, because it may be the only clue to whether you are on the right path (one major decision point in chapter 3, but some relatively minor decisions early on can have a big impact on other characters attitudes towards you). Inkalicious is very active in the forums and sometimes will provide mini-guides for a particular image.

The Creator: This is totally a labour of love. Inkalicious is not collecting any revenue for this and is posting it directly to F95. This has freed them to create a work of art that is not bound by Patreon’s restrictive rules and we thank them for it.

TLDR; download it and play it, you won’t regret it

The game has four chapters so far and it's not very long (about 2-3 hours of content) despite that it has a decent amount of scenes.

It would be nice to have more choices, events just seem to happen regardless of what you chose

Also the mom and sis are really hot, especially the mom.

version ch4-p1
story is fairly simple VN about a guy with two women who consider him a perv and now he's trying to be less thirsty to win them over. as the story progresses the plot stays the same but the characters start showing depth and personality that make you grow some feels for them individually. the sex scenes are slow and vanilla at first but are starting to pick up quickly. and the new girl marie is fantastic. visually and personality wise i hope she gets a lot more screen time cuz she should be the main. the experience is quick right now. maybe an hour and a half. definite potential both as a story and as a game. looking forward to this and future games from inkalicious

About me

I have to start this review by presenting how exceptional this game is, for me, at least.

I'm not one for romance in porn. I've played quite a few "dating sims" in the far past and that was enough. For the most part these days, I play hardcore games (the really nasty stuff). The mildest thing that I go for is Incest, and that's how I landed on this game.

The game

This has very quickly become one of my favorite games on the site. If you skip the whole incest thing, then this is my absolute favorite vanilla game.

What pushes this game far beyond it's peers is the writing. It's smart, witty, funny, and believable (well except the whole "your mom just started stroking your cock" thing). But the relationships feel real, the bond with your sister feels real.

The porn is great, the situations are great, the renders are - above average.

I hope to remember and update this review. Make it all proper-like. But I couldn't wait to give the game a 10/10.

Enjoyable game. Unique setting, somewhat interesting story. The characters seem cool enough and renders are pretty nice. This game didn't blow me away but it has potential. Hopefully choices end up having some impact and the updates are well done. Definitely can be an awesome game given more time.

No doubt worth a shot and I imagine there is a good chance you will enjoy it.

This game is very Good indeed. I still can't believe it was made using HS. The renders are very good, almost perfect. Some of them the skin of character seems to be made of plastic, but this is almost imperceptible. The effects of liquids are good too, and the environment beautifully made.

The plot is good and interesting. Specially the sex scenes. There're a lot of dirty talk during scenes that makes everything much more exciting.

PROS
- Good Plot
- Good Dialogs
- Good scenes and sex scenes
- Interesting characters

CONS
- Some choices don't change the story development. For example, i tried to stay away from Sam (the younger one), but no matter what i choose i started a relationship with her.

Updated for chapter 5:
Still the best game on this site (and there some good ones). Playing on love or dominant routes are both awesome - I haven't seen any game on here handle facial reactions in such a subtle, but impactful way. It adds so much to each encounter.

Original review:
This might be the best game on this site. The writing is fantastic, and the artwork is amazing. The subtle variations in the looks that you get from the other characters really ups the intensity of each encounter. It's a bit of a slow burn, but I think that's part of what makes it so good - each new milestone feels earned and believable within the context of the story.
