Ren'Py - Love and Evil Things [v0.2.5] [Petals]

It has a good script, fun characters that made me laugh several times, and each character feels unique.
The choices can feel like an illusion from time to time, and there isn't as much porn content as one would like, but at least it's an interesting story that builds slowly.

Pacing is very good and the characters are very intriguing and each has her own personality. Also the story is only hinting at the evil which makes it interesting. The only negative points I have is that sometimes the backgrounds are very sterile and have room for improvement. Furthermore the junk of the MC is like with other games ..... way overboard. A "normal" big dick instead of this monstrosity would be better & realistic in my opinion.

First impression very good i think the developers are doing a very good job in any field, to character personality to their desing and let's not forget about the dialogues, every one off them feel natural and i love this part of the game.

This has the makings to be an all-time favorite.

Visual Quality:
- Great animations (slightly jerky at times, but the cuteness factor outweighs any rough edges)
- Fantastic models
- Fantastic character design (clothing + aesthetic which suits personality)

Writing:
- Protag can be a bit...annoying, at times, but there's a strong implication that it is part of the narrative and will be developed and explored later. I can see a good path forwards
- Each character has a very distinct personality and you can see how carefully the balance on the edge of sincerity and masking. They have passions, they have flaws, they have confidence, they have insecurity. I genuinely want to get to know them better
- The interactions with MC and the LI are well-written and ease into any lewd scenes and sexual dynamics. It's a bit of a slow burn, but IMO if you don't want a well-written slow burn, go to pornhub.

i want to note something that i think is fantastic about this, i love how often things that happen in 1 on 1 events are referenced, what i mean by that is that is often in sandbox games 'events' often have stuff that's never referenced again, except by the character who's event it was, but seeing so much be talked about between characters in other events and scenes made it feel much more natural compared to a lot of sandbox games, (also the skip button is genuinely amazing for when i was nearing the end of the current version) characters are all great so far too

all in all, fantastic so far, look forward to the next version, loving the small drops of the main story you've thrown in too

I love the game so far. I love the models and the characters of this game. The MC is okay. I am looking forward to seeing how the game develops with future updates I think this game has a lot of potential.

Much better than I expected going in. Lots of good scenes, and characters are interesting and engaging.

Will have to deal with random Japanese romaji (english text of japanese words) sprinkled in. I understood it so it didn't bother me but I could see it being weird if you don't know what those words mean.

Pacing is good and slow burn but also understanding that it's a game with explicit content so some characters pacing is more dramatic that it could be which is understandable.

Animations have been top notch and can tell there was a lot of effect and love that went into them which I always appreciate.

Main character has the general protagonist personality and some forth wall breaks which were funny as well.

Overall a very enjoyable read from start to finish so far and would happy engage with more after I finished which is usually the mark of a good series.

Great job so far. Lots of content for a first chapter being put out, it's great that our time isn't wasted hunting for events as well. A few criticisms in that the random Japanese phrases being thrown out are a bit odd and jarring if you don't understand what they mean (and I didn't) but the quality of the characters and renders are fantastic for a first pass. There are obviously some similarities between this and That One Harem School Game, especially with the cafe girl and the class nerd tropes, but otherwise great job so far. Looking forward to the second chapter.

i played the 0.1.4 and it was really funny, the horny and "goofy" animations are really good, the chapter´s 1 cliffanger let me "wtf?" in a good sense hahaha
my favorite girl was Suki, i hope she has more content soon.
Good game, its really promising

The game starts with you as a disembodied being taking over the life of a recently deceased young executive at an all-women's office. You are informed that you will either help or destroy them (likely leading to a choose-your-ending cinematic at the conclusion of this probably never-finished work). The game is intended to include horror and comedy elements, but the 'horror' aspect feels cliché , while the comedy comes across as the overly confident, try-hard style often seen in online forums.
The love interests in the game follow typical tropes, such as the inexperienced, energetic friend falling in love, the horny bisexual girl, the sporty girl, the rich girl with a good heart, and so on. The main character (MC) lacks a distinct personality beyond pondering multiple times about their body's past. This lack of personality might not be an issue if there were ample choices for players to role-play, but such choices are lacking. Player input is limited to deciding whether to pursue a romantic interest. The story itself is vague, with the MC going to work on multiple days and interacting with one-dimensional love interests. Occasionally, you witness the love interests interacting without the MC in an unsuccessful attempt to flesh them out as characters. Essentially, this game feels like an e-hentai gallery implemented in Ren'Py, with a location selection menu added to extend the gameplay.

The start of one of the great Koikatsu games if this keeps getting updates. No complaints from me, the amount of content in the release was so much as well. I really enjoyed the story elements and can see that this opening is just the start to something that will truly be great.

I don't remember laughing so much at a game lately. humor alone can elevate a game to a very high level. apart from that, I also liked the renders very much. I think there is no reason to deduct points.

(Review of version 0.1.1)

It's new and just getting started, but what they have released so far is simply incredible.

This game has some of the best dialogue and humor that I have ever seen in an indie adult game. The amount of hilarious situations and scenes that they manage to weave together is amazing. There is no "oh this is boring let me click click click through this scene" content - at all. I enjoyed every word of it. The pacing is perfect - it's not instant gratification where you meet girls and they want to bang you 30 seconds later, but it's also not an extreme slowburn where the devs are just milking you for aeons slowly building up to the actual sexual content.

The graphics are really impressive; this is by far the best use of Koikatsu I have ever seen. It puts other previous Koikatsu games to shame.

The game has high quality sound and music as well, a level of detail that is often skipped on new adult game releases and then maybe (and usually shoddily) added in later.

Really just an A+ title all around. Dying to see the next update!!!

Bruh the comedy is top tier
kinda confusing the start, maybe changing it could help the start of the game like showing the accident and going back in the time to show what happened and how the mf ended in that body

I enjoyed the game.

Yes, the story is quite banal (school setting, chad-sensei, cute niece, schoolgirls in love, mystical secrets, etc.), but it is done at a very high level.
There are great characters, good renders, dialogues and humour.
I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of animation here.

In my opinion, the author has done an excellent job and I look forward to continuing.
