VN - Ren'Py - Law of Attraction [S1 Ep. 1-6] [Cherrylicious Studios]

Good game, mostly slice of life but has a general aim of where its going. Setting is a fresh twist of most AVNs. Writing is also solid, there are some spelling mistakes but not many.

There are too many characters though, there is a good amount of content for how long this has been out (2 years) but for most of the characters there is not much there because there is a dozen of them.

There are a great variety of women, with different personalities and realistic characters.I like that several of them are flawed and bad people. Writing is great, law firm stuff is realistically written but also provides sexy scenes, good humour, and genuine tension with respect to career prospects.

The Brianna path is particularly great.

Second best game on the site. Keep up this great work,

@SteelyDan14 makes a valid point about some of the choices being illusionary but the game is great regardless of this. And while free-roam events are railroaded for the most part, they do give a sense of freedom and there are only a couple of games that handle it better.

Pros:
+ Great, original story with unique setting.
+ Really well written dialogues and characters.
+ Exquisite sex scenes.
+ Plethora of women to choose from.

Cons:
- Some choices are illusionary but it's nothing egregious and there are only a few games that do it better (and many that do it worse). Either way it's not worth reducing the rating by more than half a star IMO

10/10 game, definitely the top of the top.

The game is attractive and I like the underlying story, but there is gamification in there just for the sake of having it. None of it moves the story forward. If nothing else, it just gets in the way.

For example, why have a menu of choices when you have to go through each of them to get to the next scene. Just make it regular dialogue and move the scene forward. I have never understood choices when they have zero meaning.

I had my MC be completely professional with the secretary and yet, at the end of the party, he is forced to have some kind of interaction with her. Same with Blake. I could not stand her and I had the MC do everything I could to get her to not be interested and yet, they still fool around in the bathroom. There is no way around it. I have seen this in other games and it's like... if the dev wants the interactions to happen then don't give the player the illusion of choices. What's the point?

I mean the coffee thing was okay and finding the document for the client was fine, but still, you had to make sure you did everything. You could not cut any corners. You had to do everything to be able to advance the story. So again... what is the point? Just make it part of the story. The bar scene was the same way.

To be fair, the dev is very talented and there is a whole lot to like, but I just wish they would cut the extra crap that has no bearing or impact on the story and just get on with it.

Excellent game..
Took me a while to come to reading this one but i'm glad i did..
Characters are well designed (even if Blake seems a little out of the render continuity) The story is well written and the characters are likeable and the ones your meant to hate are just that..
The game treads a fine line on what some class the ntr aspects but depending on your definitions it keeps the story enjoyable.. and tbh it was good playing a title where the mc wasn't gods gift to everyone he meets.. Having characters already in established relationships (even if mc ends up with the female in them) was good to see..
I'm hoping that at some point there will be a chance to leave the current RPG law firm in one route as it doesn't fit the nice guy character route and even if MMO firm isn't the alternate route id like to see other possibilities such as Joining the band as a drummer and finding his true path or some other as yet unseen route.. hell even a porn star route if the current update had any hints to it..
Currently there isn't a massive difference between the 'good guy' or scoundrel routes choices but i'm looking forward to seeing where this title goes in the future as its gonna be a hit..
Animations are of a decent quality and only visual note i'll add is some of the characters noses seem a bit squished into their faces..

I struggled to give this two stars, the renders are amazing and the story is interesting enough to stick with the game. ALMOST all the characters are great, except a gold digging ex that cock blocks you, that you text with instead of blocking her number, cause who knows why? I cant even call the first three "episodes" as such because they are short, and little to no content or options, four and five are the only ones with substance.

The free roam will kill your game, I don't like sandbox or free roams in general and this is the PERFECT example as too why. There are times you can't progress because you have too see/respond to a text, that at no time do you get notified of. I nearly quit the game at one point, where you are on a scavenger hunt for a paper, because despite seeing it, I couldn't click it until I went from the window display, to full screen. I don't mind free roam in games, or sandbox games when done right. However this game is not an example of that, you can easily navigate the story without the free roam bit and save everyone the headache from how bad it is in this game.

This game has potential to be a very good, fun, and interesting game. It has what a lot of people want, a good deep story, beautiful love interest, and really great renders. I would heavily consider taking out free roam or seriously fixing it, scraping content with the gold digging ex, and just keep it simple.

The interactions between the characters is good, and feels like real interactions between colleagues and friends, not simply waifu interactions were the girls fawn over the MC. Characters are cut throat and are looking after their own interests.

Genuinely hard to talk about this game because a lot of the problems people mention are valid. This game just also has to be one of the few of its type I haven't been bored playing, and that's because the writing carries it very hard. The plot isn't super complex(porn game lmao) but the characters all feel distinct, the prose is nice to read and there's actual antagonists that drive the plot. The renders are hit and miss, and the sandbox is sometimes confusing. If jank doesn't bother you try this, I thought it was quite good

I am only giving an extra star for the render's quality, which are fairly decent.

The freeroam bit was annoying at the best of times, but then again, I'm biased on that, since it's usually more of a pain than anything else.

I can't say I feel any attraction to any of the females in there either.
So far, there seems to be nothing in that game that would make it stand out from any other. Time might tell a different story, but as it stands, neither the story, the women or the sex scenes are making it worth of anyone's time.

[Ep. 5]
This game is an already very good one, with possibilities to become great later on in the story.

While I don't usually put story elements too much into consideration when I write a review as I don't play such games because of it, I must say the storytelling and setting are very well made and also original, the dialogues are not too wordy and get to the point without wasting reader's time with pointless chit-chat.

Regarding the free-roam elements, there's not much of it and it is also pretty straightforward, meaning you won't lose yourself in an intricate labyrinth full of doors and hallways. So far it solely serves to give the player a choice on who to talk first and how to move the story forward (without the risk of missing on events), and I like it, as it gives the right amount of freedom for a game like this imo.

Regarding the spicy scenes, I would rate them pretty high: the animations are not something out of this world, but the situations, dialogue and choices during the act are great. So, it's thumbs up for me .

Overall, this game already offers a lot of story elements, as well a sexy scenes, and in my opinion it is already well worth to play.

2 * for graphics and a somewhat good story
forced sex is always a downer you can sometimes chose to have sex or not then the next one is forced on you (and with the most hated girl blake) without a choice doesn´t matter if you are mean to her or not
You feel like a toy most of the time

It looks one of the games with good story so far which make it promising. I hope the updates will be on regular basis. I am looking forward how MC can survive. It is dynamic story which can have many twists in the coming updates

This looks like a pretty cool game so far, the first three episodes were a little short tho, but still fun to play. The Girls are good looking and the story seems to be interesting.The game claims that your choices matter but we will have to wait and see how much that is really the case. I think it would be nice to if the people you speak to would have diffrent reactions to your choices, so far they say what they were going to say regardless what choice to make. It would be nice to have some tool to get a little insight in what the girls may like or dislike. Overall its a fun game to play and worth checking out.

Good work with the animations & I really like how the sex scenes are longer than in most games out here. The design of the girls didn't quite work for me though. Good QOL with a nice UI and easy to replay and unlockable scenes if you use the patch.

The game is interesting nice renders see a great future for this game just need to keep up the great work

I would have loved if its not a sandbox game then it would be allot better.

Cant wait to see update what going to happen next in the game

I liked it.

First 3 chapters felt like they could have just been 1 chapter, but clearly setting the story up for future plots and introducing a lot of characters took some time.

MC has a "home" game and a "work" game and its sort of that the two parts of his life are separate so both stories are moving along and haven't met yet. Because there are two stories sometimes felt like there was too much story and not enough sex, but made up for it with a big finale in episode 3.

Have at least met all of the 6 LIs (if they are the OP banner image) so not sure if one of them is a "step cousin something" or not.

Renders were nice, lots of facial expressions where other games only have 1 or two expressions per conversation.

Very promising start ! There already is a fair amount of content and plenty of hot ladies for our mc. Very good renders, animations and writing overall. Usually Im avoiding to rate first releases, yet aside for this one having a lot of content in comparisons to 99% of similar projects, those two first reviews need to be balanced out a little.

If the game continues, fingers crossed, im sure it could become one of the best ones in its category.

What I liked about V1
Good renders, nice animations
Ok to good story
Good setup with big cast
Good writing - no engrish

What I didn't like about V1
Too much time talking
Too much time talking to best friend
Nav arrows disappear into background - patched now
Didn't get to have sex with secretary

I'll play the next chapter.
