VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Lustful Actions [v0.43 Extra] [Mai]

review based on 0.43 version
PRO:
- good cg
- not bad code
CONS:
- there no "sandbox" tag, but game actualy 100% sandbox.
- grindy gameplay. i like some grind, but in that case grind/content ratio is very bad.
- "strange" gameplay. looks like mc grounded or under home arrest(i mean almost zero content outside house)... another strange thing- smartphone robbery- for what purpose that?
- no animations here. i mean- zero animations and many slideshows(its looks rly bad).
- some gameplay elements like strength, intelect not implemented in game, but players may lose time to that activity .
- version like 0.43 may trick players- "wow there near 40% game done", but actualy here is near 12-20% content done even w/o animations...

its not worst game, but there also nothing good in current state- too few content, to much grind for no reason...

5 STARS GRAPHICS
4 STARS STORY
0 star gameplay

As I say in comment , definition of insanity is , doing the same shit over and over again...
Repeatable scenes and MUST DO things to see another animation or thing makes it boring and unplayable.

Better solution for other scenes will be hidden objects that you need to find around house or around city, or complete every day different event to trigger next week another things. This grinding shit is like insanity.
Only in first 2 days of play, I have seen mom same yoga, same kitchen, same for job preparation scenes...and I already deleted.

Smart man once said :
'' If you don't listen suggestions from costumers you are doomed to fail due to own ego or stupidity ''

Just find better way to trigger new scenes, cause story and graphics are already there.

An illogical game where you can grind til you die without result.

Example; You get robbed after 10 minutes and your phone is gone and there goes the game. You have no idea if lustfactor with mom is to hogh or to low, or your own...
You dont know if one action is bad for you or good.. Pure guesswork all the time.
I ditched it. Its a waist of time. There are better games out there.

Version 0.35.
This game has about a total of 10 minutes of different scenes/interactions. To collect points you need to grind for like 60 minutes to reach slightly different options for the interactions, but those options don't have any sort of pay-off, and it just ends with you getting some different points, and the character becoming upset because you said something perverted (For some choices, it's not written what you said to her, but she's upset and says "I am your landlady!". While some other more specific decisions have your dialogue as well.).
No porn content at all, you can peek on the landlady naked, and apparently she masturbated once (Apparently, because you couldn't actually see her doing it).

Severe lack of content, a majority of the activities that your "landlady" is supposed to be doing is coming up with a "WIP" line. There are a total of 7 different activities where you are able to interact with the character in the house. 1 scene in the cafe as well, but other than that, nothing else.

The reason for the low score is due to the severe lack of content, models are good but the scenes are mostly pointless with each of the 7 scenes that are available lasting for about 1 minute (And I am just talking about the scenes where you talk with the landlady, as nothing else is currently available). No proper chemistry between the characters either.
Only the intro is well done, the rest of the game isn't really there yet. Feels far more like a 0.1 alpha (or 0.01). Nothing to do in town either.

This is the rating for the Game in Version [v0.30] from me:

Pros:
+ Very easy to understand
+ Great Renders
+ Nice Story
+ Women Hot as Hell
+ Choice between Novel and Sandbox

Cons:
- Needs some Proofreading (errors).

Conclusion:
Great ladies are here in the game,damn hot I must say.
What is also great in this game is the players choice between Visual Novel or Sandbox Gameplay, you dont see that alot.
Played the Visual Novel and Loved it,also tried the Sandbox version,that was also pretty good, but dont have the patience for it I guess, but great for fans of both worlds.
As soon as the typing errors are fewer,then this game is worth 4 Stars in my Book.

Recommendation:
Worth the download
Lots of fun Playing.

review for v.25 - Visual novel mode only

Note: this game has both a visual novel mode and sandbox mode. I didn't bother playing the sandbox mode because I figure the fact that it's optional probably means it's an annoying time-sink.

If you don't want to read the rest of this review just know that everything is average. Like super average. except for the English, which is slightly bad, but not unreadable.

Readability: 2.3/5 - You can 100% understand the writer's intent for every sentence written. But it seems like every other sentence has a weird word choice or bad grammar structure. So it's slightly annoying to read, but it's not gibberish at least. YMMV depending on your tollerance for non-perfect English.

Story: 2.4/5 Asside from the opening where you get dumped and swear revenge, it's a complete copy paste of every incest ren'py game you've ever played. You have to find a job, you spy on your mom, she sees your dick and catches you masterbating. She wacks you off while you're sleeping. I've just spoiled the whole game and yet I've spoiled absolutely nothing.

Also, I find it weird that we never see a single mention of the girl who dumped you after the opening scenes, but I guess this still early days for this game. The writing style is also very bland, partially because of the readability issues stated above.

Renders: 3/5 - serviceable. The girls are hot enough. The Mom is who you see the most of and she gets the job done. I wasn't wowed by anything, but the visuals are good enough for me, and I've certainly fapped to worse.

Gameplay: 3.5/5 - It's annoying and kind of pointless that you have the option to switch between rooms when the only thing happening in the room is a message saying "You have no reason to be here right now". If you're going to actually make a VN mode then there should either be some indication of where you have to go, or there should be no choice at all and the game should just take you from scene to scene.

Interestingly enough, later scenes in the story do stop forcing you to guess where you're supposed to go and just take you to the next scene directly. So I think the dev is already aware of this and may get rid of this issue completely in the future. (which Is why I give a 3.5 instead of something lower. I have hope that they've learned better)

Overall enjoyment: 2.7/5 - It's okay. I don't regret the time I spent with it, but I will be waiting for many more updates before I try to play it again. There's not enough here storywise or content wise to hook me, but I didn't actively hate it or feel like it was wasting my time too much.
