VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Milky Touch [Final] [Studio Kuma]

This is the best glimpse into what fantasy Western-style adult visual novels could be if there were more market for it. Unfortunately this one couldn't realize its full potential due to issues in funding during development and developer mishaps (miscommunication?) with their fan base.

It's a shame that that abandoned game, Dual Family, had like 9k a month donation on patreon despite its slow release and complete abandonment while this one couldn't get close to that. Tsk tsk. Perhaps devs could look into better advertising as well for their future games since that's baffling to me how that is possible.

The art is absolutely stunning and the attention to detail is amazing (especially the wetness texture), every women is a treat to the eye as you'd usually expect from these types of games (though they are usually Japanese and drawn in more cartoony style). It's hands down the best part of this game.

Most of the sex scenes are static images transitioning to another static image but some were clearly more loved than others and given the treat of pseudo-animations (probably due to funding issues as well) such as the one with the game's main "heroine" Claudia.

Which also brings me to point out that not all characters are voiced (also due to funding), but the ones that are voiced are absolutely fantastic.

There are some game mishaps like the inconsistency in the dialogue box on who is speaking, as well as the sex scenes not progressing in sync with the text box; and some of the early game lewd scenes were just a tad too long with the texts - though they were well written - juust a tad.

The dialogues/script are also pretty much romanticized, theatricalized, fantasized as I wouldn't expect people irl to talk like that in modern age English, but it goes well with the theme of the game where MC (you) are surrounded by unrealistically beautiful (and troubled) women that are ripe for the problem solver protagonist (who is also very good with his hands).

It's basically a fantasy game - and any guy's wet dream kind of game. Just like how JP's adult VNs are unusually unrealistic with their dialogues and characters, this game is similar to that but toned that down a lot. Overall it's a balance between 'more realistic than the JP anime style' and 'fantasy', with it leaning more towards the 'fantasy' side; you can already see what I mean in the arts itself - they are realistic looking characters, but moreso fantasized and idealized.

Which, again, is fine and is actually great since most people aren't looking for 'realistic' games here, otherwise it wouldn't be a 'wet-dream game'. I also have to say that I personally, absolutely love this Western fantasy style characters more than the Japanese's anime style. Not only do the characters looks way more stunning, but this art style also allows for way more personalisation of characters than the usual JP's of generally Asian anime art style which usually just personalize characters via exaggerated hairstyles and colors to differentiate them.

The choices are diverse, and some characters are more explored than others and you can connect/relate to the characters in some ways. As you play through the game, you might notice that it goes a tad quicker towards the end (and as I'd suspected, it is also due to the funding that the game's story couldn't be fully explored and was cut short, but nonetheless we do get wrap ups).

Which brings me to the ending. I think most of them are fine. The ones with Claudia, and Riley are absolutely amazing and a treat to play through.

As for Octavia (the blonde to the right of the main image), well, she has ONE good ending for the "corruption" route for anyone who wants to go down that route and has that kind of kink. But the good good ending with Octavia (a.k.a romance route) suddenly takes you out of your wet dream and pour cold water over you at the end like it's telling you to wake up and come to terms with reality, which is a shame because she is one of the more explored character in the game and is absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention having a good personality and an empathetic backstory.

Many people hope that Studio Kuma would re-visit this game some time down the line in the future and finish what they had envisioned at the beginning after they are finished with their current, new project. I don't know if that's possible or if it's even on their plate or they have moved on with it completely, but that'd certainly be a good surprise that I'd welcome since this game has a lot of potential to be even better than how good it already is.

Personally, this game will stay on my drive for a long time and I hope it can realize its full potential down the line via new, resumed updates that would expand the story (and please fix Octavia's good ending if that ever happens).

Thanks to all the developers and voice actors, artists, etc that have created this game.

I've rated lesser games with 5* before because 5* to me just means "excellent." Also, I take into some consideration what the devs were intending to do, and whether they achieved their vision.

In that sense, I rate this 4*, only because of the absolutely spectacular, one of a kind masterpiece this could have been had the devs had enough funding to complete the game as they envisioned. Unfortunately, there is a decent, but clearly rushed conclusion to the game.

I will just touch on the 2 main strengths of this game. The art and the voice acting. It wouldn't be a stretch to rate this 5* on just these 2 qualities alone. The art is frankly one of the best I've ever seen in porn, that is including Japanese eroges/hentai, western artists, and even Korean pornhwa artists.

The other standout feature is the excellent voice actresses. There are 3 VAs that they were able to procure. I just have to make a special mention to Claudia's VA, KittenVox. This was the single best English VA performance on a porn game (barring maybe Subverse and their insane budget). VA is rare enough as it is, but VA at this level is almost non-existent on the western scene.

The story, dialogue writing, eroticism in scenes, and basic plot progression were actually quite good as well. I went for the corruption route, but honestly, Claudia (mom) is such a sympathetic character. You can't help but feel something for her. Then there is Riley, the childhood friend. Her and MC's timid high school romance is honestly so cute. And this is coming from some degenerate who goes for the most fucked up and corrupted runs possible in every game.

The devs have a pretty high gross income on patreon (2k currently after completion and 3.5k at peak development), but I can absolutely see how they felt like the full plan for the project was unsustainable even at that level. This anonymous artist must be expensive, and the end credits show multiple writers, background artist, and of course, the 3 VAs.

Still, the game is absolutely worth checking out. It will most likely be a breath of fresh air for those of you who've been getting a bit tired of the same old stuff around here.

I freaking love this game no clue why it only got a 4...the art is great the sex scenes are great the voices are great I mean COME ON MAN.. who ever rated this less than a 5 makes out with his dad the peasant.

(Wish I could vote half stars b/c it'd be 3.5)
Pros

• The art and sex text are pants-shatteringly erotic.
• If you are a man, you will walk away from Milky Touch with a firm understanding of what women must feel like playing through female protag games written by horny men.

Cons

• If you are a man, you will walk away from Milky Touch with a firm understanding of what women must feel like playing through female protag games written by horny men.
• Because holy bejeebus the man to man conversations are horribly written.
• In his master-student relationship the MC flip-flops from dedicated pupil to eye-rolling teenager. It comes from nowhere and it's extremely out of place. Young men are devoted apprentices when learning electronics repair, an apprentice learning ancient asian accupressure panty-soaking superpowers would redefine the word "zealot".

Slow burn, long read, story is good except the m-m conversations. 7/10 check it out.

# The good

• the art is original and really well made, so it's very enjoyable.
• I have muted the music after a while because it felt a bit tiring (it's a matter of taste), but kept the voices and sounds on because they are very well made. I usually don't like voices but in this one, for the first time, I found them very pleasant. Unfortunately the voice dubbing is not complete and does not cover all the females or all their scenes (the final part misses them).
• the story could be fine but lacks coherence in some parts, the dialogues are good but sometimes they don't reflect previous choices. The eroticism in dialogues and lewd scene descriptions is really above average. It's sad that the story is not really completed and polished.

# The bad

• There are several recycled, placeholder images not suited for a scene. For example you see a woman (one of the main characters) with her work suit, block notes and pencil while it's getting a massage from MC. Outside the main girls, the other people have no face (MC's male friend has got an undefined face).
• Too often the images do not follow the flowing of the dialogue, so you'll see a scene before the event actually takes place or much after it has started, or concluded.
• Very few images for each sex scene, with minimal changes among them. Almost all the scenes feel too short.
• the women all look the same, so much that they seem the same person or twin sisters.
• the long dialogues and texts are not a problem itself, but the lack of accompanying images it is. Too often you get an empty background with no human figures accompanying pages of texts.
• the closing come unexpected and really rushed, most relevant characters that should have had more space get cut out in the final part. Some of them are almost not used, their story vanishes.
  It's not just a feeling of incompleteness, when you choose at least an option mid-story you get a dead end: "this route will be updated in the following updates".

# Conclusions
The game is worth playing but the fact it's uncompleted and rushed feels like a missed opportunity and a big fault, because the pictures and some narrative ideas make it standing above the mass.

1: Nice art work !
2: Story is a Okay !
3: The story is pretty short, i hope we can have longer story with this beautiful art work
P.s: I need more type of this art work ! Really appreciate your working !

First of all, I have to say that I really like the game. Thank you to everyone who contributed. Riley is definitely one of my waifu now. For me, the topics that the game is successful are voice acting, animations and very nice art. I also liked that the choices were effective, but I would have liked it more if there were more choices. What I don't like is that the number of days is low (I'm not saying the game is short, but it would be better if it was longer). I feel like it would have been much more successful if more time had been spent on the stories that went on in the background. Since my mother tongue is not English, I had a hard time understanding the language of the game in some parts. I haven't had this problem with various other games but maybe it's just something that happened to me, I don't know. In short, I can say that Milky Touch was a top 10 game for me. I look forward to future games from Studio Kuma.

The game was very good. Enjoyed the story and gameplay. The endings were also good. the characters are voiced. but It would have been more enjoyable if all the characters were voiced. in the ending, there is some voice missing from the characters. otherwise, it was good and enjoyed it. Good work and keep at it.

The game has good production value and it's completed, so you might be asking why I'm giving it only a 2/5...it's not up to my taste.

The female designs are boring and the story/sex scenes are boring af, they feel like they were made by a guy that only watches milf porn every day starring Lisa Ann and other overrated, ugly looking fake milf actors that are somehow popular.

I gave it a 2nd try because the massage bits of the game gave me hope that it's gonna turn around, but it didn't and I dropped the game.

I jumped in lusting after the first milf I saw. But then the story started kicking in and new characters appeared. Honestly I just went for the most wholesome choises at some point. The scenes are nice, but it felt somehow wrong doing it with anyone who is not Riley.
In short, came for porn, stayed for the story.
Very nice.

Easily one of the best games here. All and any complaints for writing are those that are playing the wrong game if all the want to see is immediate sex. Wording is extremely totally damn fine and a lot more should be like it. Stupid as fuck some can say that for this all the while there are crappy japanese VNs that are a horrific nightmare of painfully superfluous text.

Art is easily amongst the the best for any type of Hgames period... Very few contenders come close to similair quality. Setting and characters are tasteful not some cutout tropes. Almost at all times voice acting is a total annoying negative but it is very tastefully done here. Only time I have ever enjoyed or listened to VA in a hgame.

Could this have been better in some ways? Yes of course but that goes for pretty much everything. As is all the standard competition is no competition at all whatsoever. So much I think I can or could say but I'll leave it at that otherwise I'll get all over the place and turn too ranty

A complete triumph of style over substance, You play as a psychopathic young man who has no personality apart from wanting money and hating his dad. He tries to fuck all the women around him by any means necessary with the help of his awful friend. Skip this one.

PROs:

• Nice art, pretty girls
• Voice actor for mother is decent, salvages some of her dialogue

CONs:

• MC is a totally amoral person yet completely lacking self-awareness about it (e.g. rapes his mom when she is passed out drunk and his only concern is getting caught)
• Writing is very bad: not sufficiently proofread, dialogue is awkward and stunted, just sounds weird (not written by a native English speaker)
• Half the females have the exact same face.
• The game is mostly static: there are almost no facial expressions, lewd scenes have 3-4 images, it gets very stale.

An interesting game with a catchy story and a narative to put your mind at work


Story
Nothing too complex here but still enough to keep me going and see if the end is what I expect. I
like the fact that the corruption route was a possibility so that a plus for me. What bothered me is
that some characters were introduces and they were not fully used. That means that for example we never
had the change to go after Riley mother...

Girls
I like the girl as the body used are my type. You do not have diversity and at moments I tought that
two different girls are the same. There is not much of a personality or at least not much is presented
about them and what is their motivation.

Renders and animation
Well there is no animation so I am left to speak only about renders. The cutscenes are amazing and
except few scenes that seems rushed toward the end, I enjoyed seeing the girls. What helped the game
a lot is the audio. The music library and girl audio really helped me emerge in the gamez

The game has good visual. The girls are exciting, without a doubt. And there is a musical background so that is good : you don't feel that the game is just silence for your ears.

But as I start playing I noticed three things I have an issue with:
- the image/picture/scene do not match the text. I think that's perturbing when you have a good visual which is not depicted in words.
- the text.. is very verbose. Too much. A single masturbation scene can length for like 10 minutes. It's too much. Yes the authors seem to like to write, but the pacing of the text on the screen is bad, and some sentences are cut like this: "and she did..." (following text box) "put this in that..." (following text box) "and it made her experience..." (following text box) "pleasure she had never felt!".

Why not just have this in one box, with clicking making each part of the "excited", intersperced sentence, appear in the same one text box?
It would have been a better pacing, and would I think really help with the previous issue.

Second, when the game tries to match text and image, it is okay, but then you shouldn't have image depicting some of the text, but not the other.

Then third, the game as "vocal". But it's onesided (only girls speak) and it's with the classical MC's shortcut name instead of real (chosen by you) name. Obviously it's hard to have the sentence include your name, but when the text say "hey MC" and the vocal say "hey honey"... it's disturbing also a lot.

Also, all side characters and MC are black silhouettes. Comparing this to the greatness of the visual for the girls... it's a shoking contrast.

So i'm quite finding this game as average only despite the really good visuals.

Edit: i'm not a native english speaker so i'm not sure, but to me many sentences are bad english.
Another thing i didn't like is that the ending is incomplete (only mom has a real story end) and rushed (it comes quickly past the moment the dev had no inspiration anymore and just wanted to "complete" their game.

Milky Touch [Final]

i loved the style of the drawing, and some scenes i found really good, and although there is too much to read for my taste i really enjoyed it, but i can't give it 5 stars because there is too much of a gap between the first part, the first two weeks, and the final part in terms of story and also of animations, almost absent in the final part.

fortunately at least the main endings have been completed even if many subplots have been completely abandoned

Plus:
graphic is good, original design, interesting story, some dialogues had voice, beautiful girls. multiple ending, so you need to replay for another scenes.

Minus:
dialogues is too long and boring.

Thanks Studio Kuma

Absolute garbage ending. Loved mostly everything else. One of the title characters didn't even get a sex scene. Showed a lot of promise but I can't understand why it's marked as complete when it's clearly been abandoned. Just leave it abandoned and maybe someone could have extended it down the line, but marking as completed ruins that possiblilty too.

to start with the obvious i guess, the art, drop dead gorgeous. duh. the music is absolutely awesome as well, gets you in good mood, its pleasant to listen to. my first job being to figure out the relationships in the main menu without having idea what the game is about was unintentionally a fun mini game. the 2nd impression i got immediately after starting was "oh no, it has voice acting, time to mute it" but i was surprised it was pretty decent (for Claudia/Mom, which is the first you meet, the other 2 voiced characters arent as good but i still left them on).
i liked the writing, with only critique being that its being fancy and descriptive for the most trivial stuff as well. quite pointless to use 40 words to announce that your friend stepped into the room. when it happens for every basic action it gets annoying.
and the other negative aspect, as countless people have said, it gets rushed towards the end and the quality drops. there is a lot of ambition set at the start that never gets developed, you can clearly see a lot of branches, stories and ideas were cut.
its still a good game worth playing, just could have been a little bit more. i hope the next one of the dev will fix these mistakes and earn a 5/5

When I first played this game when it first came out, there as certainly quite alot of promise to the game, both art/character wise. How ever, as time progressed, and having waited until the game was complete, I have to say this game, which had promise, turned out to be an utter shit show.

The story is bland, long winded, and the "endings" feel rushed and empty. There is huge lack of content and possiblities that the Dev decided to no even bother and apparently slated to half ass it clearly. And the characters, while appealing to the eye, lack content and chances to florish with possible sexual interests and outings.

In short, Milky Touch had much promise, yet like Cyberpunk, failed and crashed in a fiery explosion of failure.

Obviously going to be in the minority here but... I actually didn't think it was that good.

I think the art is beautiful obviously and the story is average imho. But I feel like if you are playing this game for its CG scenes then its really not that great. The scenes themselves are pretty good but there is a massive lack of them to the point it can feel disappointing.

I do think its worth playing though as I can see why it would appeal to a lot of people just wasn't worth the time for me.
