Ren'Py - Completed - Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1] [Belle]

Came for the boobs. Stayed for the story.

Honestly, this game is much better than it deserves to be. It already has some amount of "Content" but at this point, I'm more hooked on the story, so much so that at one point I was a little bit irritated when it started focusing on boobs again. Only a little though because the renders are fantastic and everyone looks amazing.

This game deserves a lot more attention than it's getting right now.

EDIT: Should add, review as of v0.9

(OhBoyHereGoes...) Uh, Long-timeLurker,Newest-ishMember,FirstTimeGameOpinionPoster(?) *Phew* That wasn't so bad.

This is my first game opinion post/review thingie here (had an unrelated one about a game title question that went horribly wrong)- AND the last time actually using a Forum was to post something on a B.L.S. site about a decade ago. So please be kind. If I'm going to "get my feet wet", it may as well be with one of my Top 10 favorite games. (Okay, to be fair it's #1- I just didn't want the Dev to think I was gushing over it [i.e., Belle] like a li'l schoolgirl). This game narrowly beat out The Coceter Chronicles, just so you know the competition.

Anyway, Absolutely LOVE this game! The art, the story, the characters, the premise, the...everything.

I found/downloaded this game several months ago on another web-site just because of the Belle thumbnail. After playing the 3.1 Version, I immediately fell in Love with her. She's so adorable! It was been said many times before, but I want one (or rather want one to want me). You don't get to pick- she does. Please keep her the way she is- I guess you could say that I have something of a "Tinkerbell Complex" or a "Pixie Perversion". She is so cute and sassy- like Tink's surly older sister...

I Love this game and the direction(s) that it's heading, but there are a few things that would just improve it more (IMHO),
-MORE Belle!
-More "interactions" with Belle.
-More repeatable night scenes with Belle. (Who doesn't want more "Willie Rodeo"?)
-A window/button inset used to talk to or get hints from Belle.
-More close-ups of Belle, instead of leaving her relegated to the tiny spot in the corner of the dialogue box.
-A Belle wallpaper for your desktop.
-And lastly, more Belle! <3
-And more scenes/interactions with Nell and Primrose.

Oh, and huge Thank You Belle (both on them) for this game it is absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to see what the content is for future releases. Hopefully a little more Belle, maybe? Also, thank you for not giving any of the female characters "flotation devices", they look more real, natural, and much more believable.

Anyway, Belle (both) Thank you for such an outstanding game and wish you nothing but continued success!

Don't judge a book by its cover.
My first impression about the game was meh after looking at the pictures. After a couple of minutes I really enjoyed it. There's a bit of grind to it and I missed some scenes and opportunities. After some approaches I had the majority of scenes.
As far as I have realized, there is a "Time Limit" and thus far I am ok with it. But my second thoughts are, that you'll miss lot of things while rushing through the game and if multiple playthroughs will be worth the time.

Stylwise the game is really cool. Some of the images and renders do look indeed awkward and "unnatural", however, the game doesn't look like a asset flip and you can definitely see that the creator is putting some work in it.

The models are looking really good and are matching their personas.

How about the setting? First of all I was surprised that this isn't a GoT knockoff. Medieval isn't my preferred time period but in this case it suits perfectly.

Gameplay? Is there any? Imho, yes! And it is really good. The "interrogation" sequences are really good, well planned and sometimes challenging.

Enjoying the story so far? Hell yeah! It's pretty wicked and bonkers but the story is so good written that you really want to know what will happen next. But the highlight of the game is for sure Belle. The highlights and the conversations between her and the MC are pretty damn hilarious and made me laugh a couple of times.

I just wanted to give this game 4 stars because of the time limit which seems to be a little strict and part of the story, but the game isn't completed yet and maybe it will change.

So far, you can enjoy the story, the art style and the funny moments whithout regretting it.

Let's see what the future updates will bring us.

This game is around a 5 star rating game the story is really well done and the characters are very sexy with different races of girls and types of girls. I hope it keeps going this good and adds more sex scenes the ending is gonna matter a lot in this game, so i hope it is done good!

Art 8.5/10
Characters 9.5/10
Sex 9/10 needs some rimjob's and or threesomes
Story 10/10

Great story so far. The character interactions with the protag (mainly Belle) Are genuinely funny. The sex scenes are well done. Can't wait to see where this is going, as well as the implementation of the "New Game+" Hopefully we'll see a life sized Belle and also the actual princess later on. Give this a go, you won't be disappointed.

Relatively new here, i look a lot of games. This one is the best so far, imho. The plot is intersting enough and the characters are very good. With a very special mention to Belle teh funiest pixie in the world.

Well crafted story, no dumb dialogues and you can see Belle cares about the background.
Nice fantasy setting.
Beautiful girls.
Feels open word-ish.
You have to your brain for the puzzles.
Definitely one of my favourite games, dont know why it is not higher on the list.

v0.81: Interesting story and characters. The game even has some stats to take into account for progression in scenes. The models and renders are quite divers and unique compared to all the other Ren'py games out there which makes it a nice change of pace. Haven't noticed any bugs either so that is good as well. I recommend keeping an eye on this one.

Best writing of any game on here I've seen so far! Excellent job, mate! Even though this is fantasy, I feel the characters are more real than some of the other fare. And the renderings are fabulous. Can't wait to see more from this title!

Brilliantly put together quality game. Lots of content, was written story, great visuals!
Constantly and regularly updated with new versions, an active developer who interacts with customers, this is how all games should be developed and I'm looking forward to the next release!

Really neat game.

The characters come across as unique with plausible motives and vices. The tinker bell character is by far my favorite one. Breaks the stereotypes of tinker-bell hard.

Magic system mini game is actually fun, not like many others that are tedious. (This game uses more of a clue system, opposed to beat to death your keyboard schemes other games use.)

Training skills is also actually fun. Again the 'grind' for training is actually something to look forward to.

Spelling/grammar Didn't see any mistakes, so if they exist they are passable.

Lastly:

I really am looking forward to the next update. I want to see how the various characters progress and the effects they have on the main protagonist.

First of all ( Sorry about my English. I'm from Brazil >.< )
This game has a lot of potential. I really like the "reset" system idea. I liked all the characters except the fighter,i think it's because the character are too easy(maybe her plot will have more work) All models are nice in general. There is a lot of work to do in this game. Good job and Good Luck.
I liked a lot the truthsaying. Did you get that from some book ?!?! (which book ?)

Good CG, good pace (doesn't drag on), not repetitive or tedious. No mandatory choice order but all actions can eventually be done. Very well made, actually enjoyable and not just fappable.
The only negative is it's incomplete, can't wait for the next update

very good game. Its a fantasy game where the MC has to learn skills to save the princess. This game is decent and also has a decent storyline in it. There is a lot of room for improvement in this game. Every charecter in this game has unique role and they behave accordingly.

There's a lot of good stuff in this game and it improves steadily, I hadn't played a few versions and was positively surprised about the amount of new content.

It has great renders, characters that are actually different from each other, including different body types, it has humour and sometimes moves in ways I didn't expect.

Who would have guessed living with Thaddeus pawing of Evelyn would actually pay off in the end AND feel satisfying when I watched him squirm?

From the first time I played this a lot has improved content-wise and control-wise, but the renders were great from the start.

Edited: I had to remove one Point from my rating, because really, the updates are just way, way too short.

One new Level of corruption/ one Story-part finished, that should at least happen. And it doesn't.
This is a really good game, but if it continues development at this snail-pace it won't be finished until 2025.
Edit to the edit: Lol. I was off by two years. it seems.
Great that the game is finally done and a huge achievement for the dev.
I will stick by my 4 stars until I replayed the game again, not because of the development speed of course, but because there was a lot of needless grinding and waste of time when I last played it and before I can play the finished version, it would be wrong to just go to five stars automatically.
4 Stars are very deserved though.

Game has good writing and great renders. Lots of content, small size. renpy too. Fast progress. Linear but feels very sandboxy. Good mechanics. Simple and fun detective minigame. Few if any bugs. Seeing a lot of untapped potential still.

This game is very good. History is well-developed and several good aspects of well-know games can be seen in the game. The developer is very ambitious in his idea of game and since the idea is so good, this is a positive point.

This game does not receive the attention it deserves. Love the variety in females, in hair and body. While the built in replay+ can be seen as annoying, looking forward to catching missed opportunities. Great renders, even the out of focus with he pixie and croon scene, focusing on the speaker.
Some minor complaints, (namely sisters top seem off, like it should be more form fitting) Looking forward to continuation and more skills, spell unlocks.

Most games on this site are porn games that aspire to have a story, and you know what? That's great. That's what I came here for.

This, however, is a story that happens to include porn (and delivered by a very clever mechanic!). If you haven't been persuaded by the other reviews already, stop reading and download this game. I'm on my way to pledge on the Patreon now.

The story is engaging and well-crafted, the writing is excellent, the characters have depth, and the gameplay mechanics are compelling. I have enjoyed a lot of games on this site, but this is the first I've actually taken time to review. I just felt it was necessary to highlight that something very innovative and interesting seems to be happening here. The mystery mechanic with the spells forces the player to engage with the (excellent) plot, and for once, my finger never wandered towards the control key. You know you do it. On just about every game. Admit it. This game, however? You'll get sucked in harder than Thaddeus did (just go play it already and you'll get that). Read the dialogue. It's good, and it's actually important.

Phenomenal game with great potential. Eagerly awaiting the next versions, and believe it or not, it's so I can get more of the story.

Great Game with a great Story... I like the look of the Girls and i love Belle, she is the Best and She makes me laugh...
I hope and look forward to further action with Belle, Nell and Primose. and of course with the other Girls, but the 3 are my Favorits.
