VN - Ren'Py - Luke's Way [v0.16 Rework] [Evil User]

V0.16 rework

i return to this after sitting it on the back burner for a couple of years to find it being reworked.
'rework' is a very loose term for undergoing mild adjustments rather than any actual rework. not gotten far yet, maybe an hour of slow reading, yet there is no signs of any visual rework and certainly the immature dialogue is still immature.
do you remember reading those foreign language introduction manuals at school around 11 years old? the stilted massively unnatural conversations that have natives looking at you like you are some organ grinder's dancing monkey? yes that is how the dialogue is written.
it gets the point across but is unstructured in delivering the story. it reads like the writer has an idea but is unsure of what shape it is or what it will look like in it's final form. almost eight years in development is now a giant negative for me, especially considering the crap delivery.

the shame of it, is that this really does need a rework, even now. already looking dated visually and the writer requires replacing with someone who knows how to write dialogue like someone whose age includes "ty".
as it is, it's still just a skip button slideshow. as forgettable now as it was years ago.

Luke’s Way was a wild ride while it lasted—packed with steamy scenes, taboo choices, and enough MILFs to stock a luxury cougar cruise. The story leaned hard into sexual power plays and partner-sharing dynamics, and honestly? It worked. Some of the partner-swapping content ranks among the hottest in the genre, and one particular MILF (Michelle) practically carries the whole game on her voluptuous back.


It offered a big cast, loads of sex, and a buffet of kinks: incest, NTR, group fun—you name it. But the visuals didn’t age well. The character art is stuck in Ren’Py 2016 vibes, and there’s not much scene variety once you’ve seen the basics.

Final score: 4/5. Outdated and unfinished—but hot enough to still haunt your save folder.

You can definitely tell the dev was new in the early game, and you can see the progression of skills as you play through. It doesn't get great, but it is good.

Most of the girls are pretty attractive, and get better as the chapters progress. Some for sure do not. Animations eventually come into play and are decent. It starts out with a decent mix of story and lewd/relationship stuff, though the relationship stuff is a bit on lightspeed. The longer you play the more it devolves into just light pretense from sex scene to sex scene.

If you're looking for a fuck fest, this is the game for you. If you're looking for intricate/interesting story this is definitely not for you.

3/5 - Renders
3/5 - Sex scenes
4/5 - Story, i like it
2/5 - Animations (not much of them)
5/5 - LI's (Moar MILFs and GILFs please )
3/5 - MC (would prefer more chadlike mc, MC have weak stamina and its too insecure, give us CHAD with big dick and godlike stamina)
3/5 - Sex scenes
No music, no sound.

I hate forced BI/Les stuff, would be nice to give player choice. Im not fan of sharing even with other girls.

Overall average/good game if you are fan of harem games, like me.
I would like to see more animations, longer sex scenes, more kinks and better facial expressions.
Looking forward for more.

Review of Lukes way as of v0.36a

The story is okay, it services the game well enough. Lots of girls, lots of scenes. I enjoyed my time with this game. I like the characters for the most part. And the Developer tries very hard to accommodate peoples comments.

This was one of the first games I've played from this community and one of the reasons I've stuck around! Gr8 work, love the renders, a simple (in a verry good way) and enjoyable story, just a very good game in general! Keep up the good work Mr. Dev... yours truly... Luke!

I must admit I didn't advance too far before dropping this, so my opinion on the game is based on the beginning. And what I saw there was certainly not interesting or motivating or anything. The plot is completely boring, uninteresting and a simple excuse for sex scenes, with little interest or development in the characters involved. Decisions were always (using the hint system) either benefit/nothing (so there is a clear "correct" choice) or benefit with a/benefit with b (so there is a choice, but no wrong one, just basing on which you are more interested in). This makes the decisions themselves be pretty pointless.

Render quality and characters are quite mediocre, I get it that at the beginning it was a game from a few years ago and probably the end would be better, but it just looked too bad at first to make up for the terrible story. Sex has no animations, at least until the point I reached. No sound either. At least no bugs, which is nice.

All in all, maybe the game gets to be incredible if you advance and I'm missing out on a gem. I doubt it, even if renders and girls get better, I doubt you can actually make something of interest with this story.

v0.35
Pros:

• Very wide cast size
• H content is easily accessible
• Built-in hint system

Cons:

• Sizeable amount of time dedicated to the company/workplace theme, but nothing plot relevant ever happens
• Majority of characters have zero development, time spent introducing and building up characters feels wasted when they are still essentially stranger hookups.
• Character models are... visibly unequal at the amount of care received, which is an issue given the fuckfest nature of the game, they are meant to be part of the main appeal, skipping out just results in lack of content.
• Repeated confirmations of redundant choices. Do you want to get her pregnant? Would you like to impregnate her? Tell her to take a plan-B now? You can opt out of the pregnancy route would you like to do that? I would understand the repetitions if there was a heavy narrative focus and the plot develops in situations that would result in players changing their mind, but none of that ever happens at any point in the story, if anything the extra choice points only makes it harder to backtrack in Renpy to change our decisions if desired.

The game has one style and story before 2020, and another after that .
It was one of the first RenPy games ever developed ,
The overall style and story of the early RPGS were not as good as those of those years , but the graphics and story quality have taken a huge leap since 2020 .
Now every time this game is updated, I will download the first time, because the progress of the author is visible to the naked eye .
The adjustment of MC's identity as a mother and the change of her image impressed me so much that I remember opening the game almost every day and rewatching it that days .

Español/Spanish
Los renders están muy bien hechos, como dicen siempre se puede mejorar pero tal y como está, está muy bien, respecto a los modelos, el único que me incomoda es el de Rachel, su cara es algo rara aunque puede pasarse por alto (Termino siendo mi Favorita junto a Michelle) y para añadir, quizás podrían añadir un poco más de conflicto en la vida de las otras chicas, aunque no creo que sea la dirección que quieren dar al juego. (Esto está traducido por DeepL por si hay algún error gramatical xd) 10/10 Tomates Podridos :v

Ingles/English
The renders are very well done, as they say there is always room for improvement but as it is, it is very good, regarding the models, the only one that makes me uncomfortable is Rachel's, her face is a little weird but it can be overlooked (She ends up being my favorite next to Michelle) and to add, maybe they could add a little more conflict in the lives of the other girls, although I do not think it is the direction your want to give to the game. (This is translated by DeepL in case there is any grammatical error xd) 10/10 Rotten Tomatoes :v

I really like this game, even if the story is not that original. The girls are super-hot and the situations are very sexy.

But I do have a couple of issues with it, although I know this is a WIP and can be solved at a later stage:

1. There are no sounds or music, which is a pity;
2. The renders of the buildings (houses and office spaces) are too "naked": some paintings and/or pictures on the wall would contribute for a cozier and more realistic environment;
3. There is no gallery and, because of that, no way to revisit hot scenes (unless you do a lot of saving, of course).

I will change the score to 5* if these are solved in the future.

This game is average, for some reasons.
- no music... again in a game.
- fixed name for a MC is always not cool in this kind of game. I want to be able to change it to one of my liking
- why does it have so easy sex? there needs to have some setup to gain interest.
- the (first met) girl are not especially good looking and seem pretty random. Maybe it's the fact that the dev was starting in the job but the models could have used a bit more work.
- the game starts with a non interesting story "MC joins company which is into sex business" and has sex with one future colleague on day 1.
- (edit) after the start, there are good interactions and the "porn industry" plot is growing and interesting/sexy.
- some character got a visual reskin but ingame it's hard to believe it. So why not just update the visual from start?

I'm not convinced the game sees itself as a porn game (which is okay! porn games can see themselves as they want) but then the target is missed because if it wanted to be seen as a deep story, it would need more world building.
And if he wanted to be seen as pure porn game, it should have been way better on sex scenes and excitment of player.

Edit: playing further it's a game which suffer from the "everyone who meets MC is a girl, hot and willing to be in a sex relationship at first sight" syndrom. That means, sex becomes the only thing going in the game, and the plot disappears between sex scenes.
EG: MC and his mother (who are in a triple relationship with MC's girlfriend officially) are in the restaurant. Of course it's a restaurant offering prostitutes waitresses... Why was I not surprised? because that's the case for EVERY girl in the game.

So if you want porn scenes, go for this games. But porn is very average : blowjob, cunnilingus, some anal, vaginal, add a girl or two to the mix, repeat.

There is no tension, no stake, no risk, no "normality".

So the game could have been good. It's finally bad.

There is ZERO hot girl met by MC with whom he will not have sex.

And since every girl is hot, you will have sex with EVERY girl met.

Variable model quality from great to weird skin textures to barby doll. An overly convoluted story and worst of all boring sex scenes. Besides the fact that it's a corporate harem the sex is just a few images of moving back and forth for honestly too long. If you want to fall asleep play this game.

the game is pretty good, it's long but with a lot of scenes, easy fap, story is ok, some girls are a like "meh", there are a lot of girls and if you like harem style games this is for you.
all things considered is a good game

The mc is a total p***k and even though I realize this is only a story, I couldn't help but hate every second I felt I had to play him in order to be able to justify this criticism.

The women in this do the female sex a sordid disservice, they are shallow and subservient and to add insult to injury the whole cult-like harem setup seems to be the brainchild of the main female character.

Totally and utterly, in my opinion, bizarre and seemingly designed for a specific type of "connoisseur", of which I am thankfully not nor ever shall be one.

This review is obviously based on my personal preferences so keep that in mind.

I'd like to start off with saying that forced relationships and sharing is a big no for me, I thought I could get over the relationship aspect but even with no sharing tag you have to share most girls with one or more characters.

And having to fuck everybody must be great right?
Not really, especually when raghter then a bunch of hotties, 9/10 girls belong in monsters inc, not a porn game.

The dialogue is all over the place sometimes and it can get pretty confusing, but this is probably still the one good quality I found in the game due to the fact that the level of English this was translated/written in is above average here.

The story is what I'd expect from a porn game with this type of "fuck everybody" premise.

I feel if more effort went into having choices raghter then being forced, and the wimen not looking like crack hoes this could have been a decent porn game.
Nothing can be done about the story I belive but that's probably not what this game was developed to show off anyhow.

I follow this game since the beginning and it developed into a really good game so far. You meet a lot of different characters which you can interact. The idea of the plot is unusual and interesting. The graphic of the game is really nice, you don*t see these girls in other games so often. The countless opportunities to change the storyline after your like makes this game really good. Last but not least I do like that the game maker keep on developing this game further and further. Looking forward to see many more updates. From my side 5 of 5 stars for this hot game!

The game just didn't grab me for some reason. The story is okay, nothing special in my opinion, the pacing is a bit jumbled and fast for my taste. Renders are quite grainy and outdated, sex scenes don't have any animations, so that doesn't help either.

What makes a good story? I think it all depends on what each person is looking for. This story has a open/random feel allowing the feel that you are going with the flow of the life you are experiancing for fiction it is a 9/10 i found it to be entertaining and enjoyable. While some characters have very little depth you can still find personalities that you can fall in love with if you pay attention 7/10. I am excited to see where this goes and feel it is worth a look. For a extra note get the name change mod it helps create a personal attachment to the story and makes you feel less like a outsider.

"Every story, every game, is just another reality for me to hide in"

The story dosent make much sense, it starts out with MC finding his "dream job" but apparently he has no idea what the job is and the people at the job desperately want him to work there but have no idea if he even can do the job(company prostitute) so why bother with interviews, bribes and setting up a whole work environment before even finding out if MC can physically do the job? it would have been better, faster and made more sense to just say MC has a magic dick and all the women at his new job want it.

Lots of love interests but most of them are very one dimensional, pretty much all the same body type and don't stay consistent, as for the MC well he must struggle to breathe with so few brain cells but he like some of the other characters do get better during the 2nd half of the game.

The writing does lack emotion at the start but like most things in this game it gets way better later into it.

There are no real choices in the game just relationship point choices and it even offers you an in game guide to pick the right one which is nice and while you cant avoid sex for the first time you do get the option not to continue with some of them later.

Art is above average with some nice animations, the sex scenes are good visually but they have some mood killers:

There is lots of talk during the sex scenes about boundaries, yes its good to know where they are but its porn we don't need the characters asking for permission before every position change because when they say no it makes the whole scene really awkward spoiling the mood and also its the same with the the talk of STDs its good to know they don't have to worry about it but talking about it over and over again hurts the mood.

On a personal note a huge turn off for me is pubic hair and the main love interest has it the whole game so consider yourself warned if its not you thing.

The game is still well worth a play because it does have a lot of positives, the story does pick up after awhile, lots of fetishes(preg, threesomes, incest and some great situations), loads of content and it looks to be setting up some good endings.
