VN - Ren'Py - Matrix Hearts [v0.3.4] [Blue Otter Games]

Just… Wow! Where do I start?! What a debut this is!

Firstly, if you’re looking for a VN where all the characters are flat and boring or you’re hoping to spam your mouse to get to the “bewbz n fagine”, your simple ass mind gon get chased outta here.

Now, if you want a VN that’s captivating, funny and visually distinct from anything I’ve ever played before (and I’ve played A LOT), assume your look of superiority and get stuck in.

Characters
The girls. Look. Amazing!! Massive thumbs up for not giving the smallest girl the biggest tits that have no effect on her posture… shit really bugs me and instantly makes me abandon the game.

Variety of the girls are bang on and caters to most tastes with some actual thought put into it. I have no idea what base model these guys (or girls) used for the characters which in itself is an achievement.

Dialogue
Dialogue is great. Some really funny lines and perfectly matching images. It feels natural to read and flows well. Not clunky in the slightest and not written using Google translate…

The story as a whole and visuals work so well together to really grab you and immerse yourself in the world.

Renders & Animations
As I mentioned earlier, they are so distinctive and unique. Would easily pick them out of a lineup against other games that use DAZ assets. There are some new assets in there too which I don’t recognise. Again, actual thought gone into this rather than a rehash of existing shit. No crazy skin textures that make them look like a three year old orange skin either. News flash, visible skin pores from across the room is not sexy!

Conclusion
A refreshing change to the games being released at the moment which are becoming boring and tired cliches. I’ll be hitting up Patreon to get me some sweet sweet Rylee between updates. High high hopes for this. A few updates and these guys (or girls) will set a new standard.

Very promising start, well done to the developers for creating something other than "I left home for a few years, had to come back, and now I bang literally everything that has tits and a vagina." And on that same note, the ladies look amazing, much more appealing than the overused, overexaggerated ginormous tits and waste/ass that are the size of the main character. Only reason I couldn't give a perfect 5 stars thus far, maybe I'm being nitpicky, but there were some things that could've been proofread, and some things that could've been double checked. One scene in particular, when the MC is introducing himself to Rylee, and the camera angle is below the MC's waste from behind him, looking at Rylee, the knee brace was now on his right leg, instead of the left. Anyway, like i said, just being nitpicky, and none of this tarnished the experience in any way. Great job so far, seeing as this is your first project. Looking forward to future updates, and maybe if this high level of content continues in the next couple of updates or so, I'll consider supporting via Patreon. Good luck!

Seriously disliked what kind of a dick the mc was early on though... Nonetheless, the concept is interesting and it seems to have a lot of potential... The girls look great and I'm curious as to how this will go. Looking forward to this game good luck!

An engaging and enjoyable story driven VN

A nice plot with great story elements that has interesting characters with different personalities
Great writing and the humors makes it all the better and engaging
Neatly organized and depicted scenes and there were choices of being a dick or getting on with life as a new you
Great renders with nice amount of details and new assets along with hawt new hotties but the lighting is a bit too bright
Nice animations too
Good choice of music goes with the situations pretty well
A great start to something to look forward to can't wait for the updates

Goodluck dev keep up the goodwork

After the little update v0.1.1 the sex scenes are much better, but it could still be a little more fluid, I know I'm hard to please But i'll still give it 5 stars, cause of the story, the art and the dialouge being pretty damn funny.
So the game pretty much got it all now and look forward to seeing more. Nice work!

v0.1a (Current Version):
The latest update brings with it improved quality renders and bug fixes. I personally didn't see the need to update the renders, thought they were amazing to begin with. However, seeing the new images, the Otters have taken the level of quality even further than what they'd already achieved. Excellent stuff. Bring on Chapter 2!!


v0.1:
A fantastic start to what promises to be a truly remarkable game.

The renders are brilliant. DAZ renders can look very much the same after playing countless games, so it's nice to see they've done something slightly different than the norm whilst retaining familiarity.

There's plenty of content for the first release but it's the characters that really set this apart from anything else. They feel like real people, rather than two dimensional beings created just to show some skin. Not many attempt this, and even fewer can pull it off. Coupled with the originality of an interesting premise, these guys have got a winner on their hands.

It's only going up from here. Very very well done!

#TeamRylee

Looking REALLY good. Great start. Nice models, nice start. Girls fresh and different from normal and it's a interesting story so far. I'll be eager to see update to this one.

Didn't take too long to get into some interesting stuff, but there was at least a little work to get into it. The perfect rate for me at least.

I made all the choices present in the game in its current version (0.1)

95% of the choices have little impact in the course of situations, this makes me question, developer Why put a choice if the final result of situations will always be the same? This disappointed me a lot, since the words of the developer choices would have impact and in this question he did not fulfill the word at least initially. The graphics are beautiful, I play with zero volume, so I have nothing to talk about the sound effects ... As the girls: Rylee is ... different ... Gemma did not arouse interest, Xia is who probably the protagonist will make sex First among the main girls, Chrysta is a bit assholes, Layla is by far my favorite girl, in summary all of them has different personalities, some more peculiars than others and this is very good. The protagonist has an interesting background.

Below will be my notes for each category (10 is the maximum note):
Graphics: 10;
Character Development: 8.5;
History: 9;
Plot: 8.5;

Verdict: I will surely follow the next updates and I tell you that it's worth taking a look at this project.

Difficult to rate this first version.

Art: On the plus side the girls look good and distinct. That being said as the devs mention in game it is their first experience in creating something like this and it shows. They overuse certain movements such as winks and the renders look sometimes pretty grainy. Also the body hair looks strange on the MC. The animations are pretty well done but appear to be in low resolution reducing their appeal.

Story: It appears to be a decent harem set up with a healthy amount of humor, which is usually a plus in adult games imo.

Don't take my feedback as criticism but as areas for improvement, I'm looking forward to future updates because this does look promising.
