Ren'Py - Latin Bizarre Adventure's [v0.3 Public] [Waifu Soft]

The game is not good. 2-3 stars is a more appropriate rating for the current state of it. It's puzzling why people rated it as 5.

It's always somewhat interesting to check out these projects not for the goon content, but rather to see a bit of the inside world of the creator. A level of self-insertion is present both in a straight-forward sense as well as through the actual game design/writing. With that being said, from what I see as a person the game Dev seems to actually be a decent human being, so I bear no hostility towards his persona, this opinion is only about the product.

1) Visuals
The GUI is very subpar, practically non-existent. The most basic shapes and interaction lights that are easily missed.
Regarding the characters, I'll start with the girls. I haven't seen all, but from what I can tell it's basic models possibly taken from somewhere else. There are some drawn images of them and I can't put my finger, but if my artist career is anything to go by, that looks like AI. Maybe modified, but AI. Just look at some clothes and compare them to any other drawn object, you'll see what I mean.
But the MC is the weirdest model of them all. I don't even know how to describe it - even in a porn game of this quality he breaks immersion completely, that should tell you how much he stands out. A towering 2-3 meter + 150kg of pure muscle (and a freaking forest of body hair) high schooler that wears the most eye popping saturated color you can find on a color wheel. Honestly, who sees that absolute shade of pink-purple and think it's a good idea to have the whole outfit in this color? He looks like he wears those Garris Mod error cubes as an outfit. Although considering his physique, he might as well, dude makes Jotaro look average.

2) Writing
I'll give credit where credit is due, at the very least the dialogue from MC is somewhat "realistic", meaning that the dialogue is not some random mess of porn quotes and anime tropes, but at least attempts to be reminiscent of how humans talk. The choices/actions presented through the dialogue supports the idea of self-insertion and in that sense it reflects that the author is an actual human being with a decent grasp on how people communicate and is probably a good person. I might be looking too much into this, but that was my impression. I didn't feel disgust from the dialogue, which can't be said for majority of the things on this website.
However, the writing of the MC is all over the place. He behaves very randomly and with no clear character developed for him, so there is no substance or any semblance of a persona in him, because one scene he acts as the biggest badass farming aura points, the other scene he's twiddling his thumbs as an MC of a seasonal romcom anime.

3) Gameplay
Biggest issue is with the gameplay. There is no structure to the game events, they happen randomly, you sometimes get events that talk about things you haven't seen/done, there is no quest log/goal set or any resemblance of attempting to control player's experience, you just randomly click on things, they might result in some scenes but half of the time those scenes just randomly pop in existence clearly indicating that you missed some other scene before.
"Playing" this I felt as a participant in a chinese room thought experiment.

Overall, the game is very raw. A lot of clicking, a lot of inconsistent slice of life dialogues, no clear story progression or gameplay experience. I haven't seen any scenes aside from a couple of naked pics, so this is clearly intended to be more than just a shell for pre-rendered basic scenes with famous characters and a self-insert.

[v0.3 Public] review

I completely regret playing this game at this point, not because it's bad, or is skim on content, but because I really liked it and wanted way more.

The main character's personality is very different from what I expected, and he can be a very mild mannered person that just wants to make a life for himself. The LIs are exactly what you'd expect from their perspective series', to the point where it's almost cheating, and the artwork for them is great. The humor is kind of stupid (my kind of humor), and the Dragon Ball references always got a chuckle from me. The map and the world feel big, but aren't confusing nightmares to get around, and selectable objects/places/people are obvious. There's also quite few typos and untranslated parts, but I didn't mind much and know enough street spanish to get by.

Only thing I'd ask for is a "go to school" option from in the player character's room to save me a couple clicks and more content overall.

Great and fun game. No tedious gameplay mechanics. Really hard to ask for anything more from something like this.

Very interesting game. I played many similar games, where most were copies of each other with minor changes. I see my own charm in this game, which distinguishes it from others. Waiting for updates.
P.S. - It's a pity that there is no translation into Russian. At least automatic. English is difficult for me.

A game full of passion.

One of the best 3D games with multiple waifus I've seen, it creates a very entertaining story with a character with a lot of personality.

While the game features many Latin American references, it captures the essence of a fish out of water and manages to showcase a charismatic protagonist who is distinct enough to create a new experience compared to a bunch of similar games.

10/10, I can't wait for more updates.

this is definitely a game with a lot of potential, I am supporting the project, because it is one that finally does good justice to the anime and waifus that the community likes so much, not just a simple harem game, there's humor, good plots and of course the nsfw is the order of the day, I know it will take a long time to add more and more waifus but it is worth supporting the time it takes, I invite you to try it and support the project.

The game have much potential, the writing seem fun, characters possibility are huge, art and models are pretty good and not boring.
Still got bugs and a clear direction to objectives and end of content but is going in the right direction.
Great hope for the future of this game.

At first I didn't put much faith in the beginning. But I really liked the idea that we got involved with characters from different animes both romantically and purely as a friendship, for example Naoto, that we became friends not only for the benefit.

That's why I had some bugs in the judo fights. And I think the ero scenes could be improved by removing the buttons and putting them straight into the action. Unless you have more shares.

I loved the 3D and 2D parts and Mari Kitagawa's plot. I expected something from Nagatora but it was pretty ok.

I'm back with some points from the latest update. The improvements that were made in 5/6 months were great.

Izanagi with more content was well expected because her route was a bit short in the last update.

The map became much more dynamic with the appearance of Japanese game navigation. Few disappointments but details that impressed me like the modeling of the skin in relation to the clothes.

I hope this game has a lot more content. Thanks for reading.

Im stuck mate, after yanagi and playing on the roof with her i have nothing else to do. Is there any guide or anything to fix? Marin, Gamo and Sakura are on Hold, need to wait to contact them but nothing is changing. I ran out of ideas on what to do

Esta muy bien hecho, le falta un poco de tiempo para que sea un juego gama alta, pero al equipo de trabajo se les ve muy interesados en darle seguimiento al juego y si siguen por ese camino seguro sera uno de los mejores del estilo

i didnt want to waste my time writing a review for this, but seeing those fake 5 star reviews posted before, i guessed someone should write the truth.

The game is garbage. It has some weird sandbox where you have keep roaming around to find something to click on. No predefined quests, no notification indicating if you can start a quest.

Then there is the MC. Yeah potray him American or whatever but in the end he just turns to be a simp like any manga MC. He meets all of these bitch characters and the dev doesnt even give us an option to clap back at those bitches. Just take the insults and move on.

So all in all, this is a cheap manga copy and if you dont like clunky sandbox and a simp MC, just avoid it.

5/5 Very good game. Currently it has very little content, but you can already tell it is not the usual dating sim, would love to see where the developer will be heading with this one.

Please keep it up!

10/10 So far this game is way better than it's it's other contenders of the style I really do like the character interactions and so far the plot's been pretty good out as well highly recommend for anybody can't wait to see how this person does in the future

It is a good demo, it shows us what is in store for us in future updates.

From what I have seen, you plan to introduce multiple girls from different animes, something I would like to see is them interacting with each other. Example: Marin inviting Komi to do cosplay.

mucha suerte

The game has potential if it continues to break the tropes of a shy boy who doesn't know how to talk to a girl, my only problem is how slow it is at first, not knowing where to go or who to talk to, and of course, it shows that there is a lot of content missing, still, animos y suerte
