VN - Ren'Py - Maid to Please [v0.15.5] [Tutbork]

An average one.

I skipped the story because the setting seems uninteresting to me, additionally the characters look a bit dull, not worth spending much time with em.

But it seems to have a story at least.
The scenes with the girls are enjoyable and well done. You can skip the ones you don't like.
Pacing seems good and you get decent content (sex and story).

If just the models were looking a bit more natural....
The "younger" or "smaller" ones have relative big heads, and the faces look like they were 20 and 50 years old at the same time?! I don't know what that is...

All in all: nothing special, nothing bad either.

Could possibly be a 4* with a bit refinement and polishing here and there.

loved the game so far (v0.15)
lots of content, of good quality, both animations* and scenes ; and good storyline** with plot twists. Ah, and cute girls with clear and distinct personalities ranging form smoking hot, model-worthy to loli, what else can we ask?!

the footnotes:
* quality of animations grow with the updates. Last animation, the belly dances, is amazing.
** yes, the storyline is mostly filled with the mc working on his relationships with his girls - which would be very fine on its own given the girls and their own unique characters... but there is an actual plot here, with the pleasant twists, and it does not progress much. Although mc is on holidays so that's understandable, especially with those distractions...
The lack of Jessica, before her plain and simple removal, is sad... but at least it will be company for dear old dad!

PS: I almost skipped the game because the title made it looked like the whole thing was resting on maid fetish, while almost none were showed in the preview pics. But yes, there is at least one maid, the cutest.
The title pic did nothing to entice me to play the title either.

This is one of the best games I have played in a long time and I really don't understand (or care) about some of the more negative ratings because most of them seem a little nitpicky IMHO.

To me, yes, the storyline isn't perfect, but not many are. If I wanted to play a game for more perfect storylines, then I wouldn't play H games.

The LIs are beautiful, well diverse and all have their own backstories, motivations and interests. Their interest in the MC might be a tad overboard but at least it's not forced where every girl in the game seems to throw themselves boringly at the MC and I credit the Dev for slowly and sometimes painstakingly establishing this interest. I especially love the different Submissive/Affection paths. Well done!

The LI models are really well done (especially Elisabeth) and are a healthy mix of different body types. This is much better than EVERY female in the game being a barbie doll that's a foot taller than the male MC and has beach ball sized tits. I've actually avoided playing games because of this. It is not natural or realistic for every female to be perfectly sculpted, chesty Amazons that all look the same with only different skin tones and hairstyles separating them. I LOVE the fact that some of the girls are short and petite. On average, women are 5 to 6 inches shorter than men and a lot of Devs seem to forget that. I cannot praise the Dev enough for getting it right. I wish more Devs did!

I am hooked and very interested in where the game is going and eagerly wait for more content. I applaud the Dev for the amount of content so far!

This wasn't easy for me to rate. I share many of the negative points mentioned in other reviews, especially the huge Gary Stu protagonist who can do anything and always knows ehat's best and, especially annoying, also knows what's best for everyone else.
I get it, it's a power fantasy, almost every video game is, there's nothing wrong with it, and I actually like playing a confident and capable MC, but come on, make him a bit more interesting and relatable and less of a know-it-all. To be fair though, I played many games on this site with worse MCs.

Still, I like the game overall, mainly for two things.

1. All LIs have two different paths, affection and dominance. I love it when games let you influence what kind of sexual content you can see instead of just giving you the choice to see sex or nothing at all. It's also pretty forgiving, so you can actually balance these paths a bit and aren't forced to always take the same option if you don't want to.
You might have to permanently pick a path at some point but that would just be reasonable.

2. I actually really liked the development of the relationships. Like previously mentioned, the MC is a huge babe magnet, but the game successfully avoids the trap of other harem games where most LIs are offensively boring and one dimensional.
The relationships actually feel kind of believable and natural for a porn game, they have a good buildup but don't blueball and the sex scenes feel pretty rewarding for that reason. Something that cannot be said for many games.

In the end I had fun with the game. I didn't really care about the story aside from what is important for the erotic content, it wasn't that interesting to be honest, but I did enjoy most of the scenes with the LIs and that is reason enough for me to give it a good rating.

The good things.
Overall it's probably to be considered a good game.
There is a lot of content already
The concept is interesting enout
The sex scenes are slowly cooked which is a plus to me. The games where al the girls istantly fall for MC with no apparent reason are somewhat lame. Here it feels more natural.
The MC is likeable and so is the rest of the cast.

I really wanted to like this game. So why don't i?

Good question. While i really liked and got invested by the early plot twist of the story, unfortunately everything feels dumb.

Dialogs feel dumb
The ledies feel dumb
The situations feel dumb
The reactions are always kinda weird.
The characted always behave in a plot convenient way rather then in an expectable way.
Overall playing through feels boring and the sex scenes are short, not very stimulating, sometimes bizzare and, you guessed, they feel dumb. Totally unrewarding.

That's unfortunate. As i said i wanted to like this game and i think it's a genuine good will project.

I think this game is alright. Elizabeth almost raises it to a 4, but honestly, you can tell the author has a type and it's plastered throughout the game. Lots of small, tiny, almost underdeveloped women, so Elizabeth and Ashley by extension almost pop out in difference.

I think the author definitely made too much of a Gary Stu, like I almost hate the MC and his internal monologues. I get it, it's a power fantasy, but like jesus christ dude, he just preaches bullshit all the time, and every girl loves him. If this game did not have the relationship between him and Elizabeth I might rate it a 2.

It stays a three because the author puts in the work, he updates pretty consistently, and I think he has a clear vision for the game, I just wish the girls were hotter besides Elizabeth, and the MC wasn't such a douche. But seriously, he sucks, and no woman should go near him.

Pros:

Elizabeth
Effort

Cons:

Literally anything else, Elizabeth somehow makes this a playable game though, I wish the author would have modeled more girls like her.

Well, this is a game that gets better with time. The story is not worth mentioning, but the development of the corruption, especially Elizabeth, is really well done. The domination/submission aspect is interesting and makes sense even from a sub perspective here, which is rare.

Also, you deserve 5 stars for the best BJ scene in ANY game I have played so far. It is so outrageously well done that I have no words. If you are undecided, play it for that scene alone.

Hey, that was one of the best, if not the best VN around !
For one MC is an alpha male, but not over the top, and just pervy enough to be cool
Great LIs, of different types (in body and mind) with nice buildup, it's a rather slow burn but every step has its reward (as in you won't get laid in 5 minutes but you'll have a lot to look at or feel)
Story actually makes sense and is interesting, and well written
Only criticism is some of the LI faces that may look a bit like Chucky lol
Renders are good, with some animations

Solid game with a great story and well developed characters. Not just cookie cutter big boob bimbos. Sure, I would not label this a fap-fest, its a slow burn type game that when you finally do get to those points you feel it. Also, in terms of BDSM i would consider this far more realistic and not over the top. I can think of other games where you are just constantly tying up women or doing whatever you want with them. This is more corruption than diving into the deep end of that.

If I have one point of beef, the MC's face... good lord did he get hit with a frying pan? lol. I can see now why a lot of games go to great lengths to avoid showing their MCs face lol

This game strays away from your average Ren'py VN, mostly in a good way. This is the kind of VN you stay for the story and the scenes are more of a bonus.

Reviewing v0.14.5

Pros:

• An interesting plot with a lot of tension in the air
• Characters are fleshed out with flaws and personality traits and not just a hunk of meat
• There's a mod that helps out a lot, highly recommend
• There are different routes you can take for each character (sub, dom, love, etc)
• The main character is actually likable

Cons:

• Not a whole lot of scenes as of now
• Gallery is built into the game but doesn't work for me at least, I had to use the mod's gallery
• There is a whooooleeeee lot of dialogue which can be off-putting for some
• You need to save often if you wanna collect every scene as some scenes require you to be in a certain route

Conclusion:

The developer clearly wants to create a game with a story that will leave the player satisfied and fulfilled, but it isn't quite there yet. The lack of scenes as well may be underwhelming for players as well. I think as updates go on, this game will be fleshed out more and has potential.

Can't wait to see what's coming next.

This one is somewhere on the line for me, with a lot of good but also a lot of bad. Let's start with the story as it is a perfect example: it's well written but it's a bad story. Characters are somewhat interesting, but a lot of plots and developments aren't. Choices next. There's quite a lot of them, but they all seem to only affect the domination/affection path with each girl, or if you want to skip some content or girl.

Moving on to render quality, it's pretty high. But even though it says all characters are adults, for me there are too many with childlike looks. Animations are numerous but not the highest quality and all are a bit stiff. I took away the sounds as I usually do, so can't say anything about them. And there is no gallery, which is a common feature now a days.

So, all in all, not sure where this one will end. So far, half-and-half and I don't see it improving.

Definitely one of the best romance games on the website. Interesting love interests, the proper amount of teasing (not too little and not too much), an MC that isn't just yet another cardboard simp niceguy, and a background plot behind it all that doesn't dominate the story. Best of all, you get to be a "bull" without it coming off as cringe. This dev definitely knows what they're doing. Beth is easily one of the hottest love interests I've ever seen. One of those rare games where I have absolutely nothing to criticize or nitpick over. I wish the dev all the success they deserve.

I'm not sure why this game is suddenly getting bad reviews. Sure, the story is unrealistic and filled with porn logic, but so what? It's good ole pervy fun, with competent dialogue, some humor, most of the LIs are great and very different from each other. The MC is a manipulative jerk sometimes, but other times is a complete bro. Good kinks, some good gradual development of d/s relationships. Just fun all around..

ps - the end of the last update (the walk through the house with Catalina) couldn't be better *chef's kiss*

This game is decent but has many cliches and probably tries to do too much. The writing is fairly good and the dialogue will usually keep you interested with the women. MC is returning home where his Dad has a new young partner living with him. She is the main woman of the game. She's fastidious with cleaning and wants to implement these ideals on the new maid. There is sub-plots involving gangsters and secret agent style storyline. This is not that well told & doesn't feel like it connects to the rest of the game cohesively.

The MC looks like a sleazeball, which the model has been used many times in other games. He is a master of manipulating women, has super human strength, able to lift men in the air with one hand around their throat, can take out gigantic boss men with one punch, save and carry women from a burning building and is a super spy who always gets his target. Seems like the Dev has some fantasy about being a hero and making women fall in love with him in an instant, as if he is Superman... yes MC literally dresses up as him! lol.

The choices of picking a submissive or affectionate relationship for all the women is pretty good. I think all the scenes and the writing around them is quite strong. Theres no quick sex, which shows restraint and makes it feel earned when it does happen. The tease scenes with the female characters (other than Beth) don't seem to be that sexy, although good but not great. Occasionally the dialogue doesn't reflect if you have chosen to ignore certain women. If they have a strong role in the story, sometimes it will take you along for the ride, without caring what has been said previously. There are scenes where different choices bring about the exact same outcome, with no change in variables. As if Dev put it in there only to make it look less kinetic, as there weren't choices for quite a while.

The music is some of the worst I've heard in a game. Although it is varied and often, it felt so out of place for most songs during the scene. Quite mismatched and annoying. I usually like background music but to me this was really bad. The comedy is poor, I didn't even chuckle once during gameplay. It usually comes across as cringe and unfunny.

The character models in this game are definitely not the best. Very strange looks to basically everyone, like they are almost unfinished. They still have their own charm and uniqueness though. Renders are slick and mostly have filled out areas with props making believable environments. Bodies are highly detailed but faces leave a lot to be desired. The animations are some of the best I've seen in a game. A couple of real standout scenes!

If the Dev kept the sub-plot of being a superhero, trying to get rid of the crime in the city and get revenge for past events to a minimum. This would have been a much more sleek game. I do like a plot but to me this felt way over the top and not that well written compared to the much more fleshed out relationships. Most of the scenes are well written with the women and is the strong point of this VN. The spying and action storyline feels tacked on. The unnatural, plastic looking models don't help engage you into the game, which is a shame as the dialogue is written well between characters. This probably sounds like a one star review but it is 3/5. Theres just a lot of crap to wade through to get to the good stuff. The good stuff is very good. Shows that writing for the most part is the strongest contributor.

I am as cynical and impatient as they come. I play h-games for the h rather than the game. MtP doesn't even have all that many dirty scenes, per se. But there is a proper story. There are differentiated characters. Choices that mean something without locking you out of too much content. Most of all, there is writing, for anyone who cares about this stuff. Too much writing, perhaps, for some of the inner monologue. I'm not talking about number of words here. After a slow-ish start, these characters begin to take form. What happens to them seems to matter. The corruption and domination elements belong to the story and to the MC. I think I'm going to chuck him some money. I want to know what happens next, and that's as rare as gold sovereigns around here, right?

In my opinion, the game is very well done,
the scenes look very good.
The graphics are also nice.
The gameplay was a pleasure to play, quite a good feeling.
The main character (gg), in my opinion, looks beautiful.
The story of the main character was well written
.

This game is a steaming pile of garbage and I do not understand the high ratings... I gave a shot on this because of the high ratings, and there is a screen shot of two women in front of Beth wearing spanking skirts, and that is high up on my list of fetishes. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it that far...

First off, the MC is a sexist pig, there is being sexually dominate and degrading in a sexual way, then there is being sexist just to be comically evil stupid and MC is the latter. There is a running joke of HUR DUR women can't drive, how fucking original...

Then there is the main story of revenge for his mother who got ran over, and Cat keeps trying to tell him something, but he won't let her talk, I know you were there that night and have firsthand knowledge of what happened, but don't worry your pretty head about it, let the men do the thinking... Now let me eat you out.

I'm pretty sure Cat was the one driving the fucking car, because that would just continue the running joke about women not being able to drive... But I'll never know, because really, I just don't care.

Thene there is the whole side story of the MC being a secret agent (because of fucking course). What kind of secret agent you might ask? Who the fuck knows, because these scenes are so boring and tiresome I skipped past most of them. Oh look, here comes an awesome scene with Beth and the maid chick, I can't wait! NOPE! Gotta go meet cousin dumb fuck steroid testicles, because he's really my secret agent boss, or some shit... Ugh

Then of course the MC despite being the definition of alpha male (dumb and sexist) is wearing more makeup than most the female characters. Seriously it looks like he's wearing lipstick in most scenes, and he is definitely wearing eyeliner...

This whole thing reads like a vanity film translated to a porn game.

Oh yeah, the gang that controls the cities is called The Testies...

The Testies.

Fuck.

The MC looks like he is looks maxing, and it only seems to get worse with time. The girls are all sub-Gen-8, and look terrible. The lighting effects are amateur at best and the story is boring. The execution of mechanics in the form of requisite "sub" or "love" arbitrary points is abysmal and ancient in terms of design. There's just not much to love here. I would say the writing is readable and the envs looks decent. That's about it really.

It is an alright game, was thinking between 3 and 4 score.

It is simple VN so I would hardly give a 5, plus I can't say there are any memorable scenes in this one to this date.

The writing seemed okayish, but I have skipped a bunch of text, where it was overbearing. The pacing feels off, you have interaction with one girl, only to be cut abruptly and move to the next girl in just the next frame.

The core concept of the storyline about maids in the house seems to be decent. Overall, there is nothing too bad in this game, and nothing great to speak about. Models/faces could be a little better.

3.5/5

Really liking this one so far. Good story well done characters, nice artwork. This one pushes most of the right buttons.
There is plenty of plot to develop here and the characters are interesting(mostly) with nice art work.
So far updates have kept me interested.

Another fine example of a skilled dev. Worth supporting.
