Ren'Py - Completed - Mist [v1.0.3] [395games]

Mist had a strong start - pretty tense survival, solid atmosphere, and an intriguing setup. It actually pulled me in at first. But the deeper I got, the more it lost me. The plot takes a bunch of weird-ass turns, like the dev just threw in random twists for the sake of being quirky. The characters aren’t totally one-dimensional, but they still feel kinda bland.
Visually? Meh. The models look average at best. And for an adult game, there’s barely any actual scenes. On top of that, there’s an absurd amount of text, and like 70% of it is pointless small talk that adds nothing to the story, the world, or the characters.
I pushed through until the MC’s sister got saved, but at that point, I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. It had potential, but it ends up feeling bland, unpolished, and unfinished. A decent start that fizzles out hard.

Art style is amazing for a 3d game but the Dev needs to talk to a woman. So many scenes just took me out of it cause no woman would willingly be that chill with the anime incel teir MC. Yeah dog you and this chick who is trapped in here are gunna get along real well when you sexually harass her all the time whens shes clearly uncomfortable and scared about the monsters killing people, She'll see what a nice guy you are lmao.

So.. I'm usually kinda biased against this kind of graphics and prefer DAZ (or similar) models, I sometimes play one of those. Well this definitelly was good choice.

Nice story, and I couldn't believe how long it took me to finish it (in a good sense I mean). It may be worth mentioning that I took easier route and did not went full sandbox on it. That means I had more resources and almost didn't need to spent time grinding(only little bit for levelling). For the real sandbox fans, it will be even longer adventure. I'd say you can easily spent like 30 hours to get to the end.

The riddle parts also weren't that hard, I'd say for my casual approach difficulty level felt just right.

Sex scenes were nicely made and plentiful. If I want to pick one bad thing about it tho, it would be cum renders/animations. I mean I know the whole game does not exactly look like "real life" style, but the spunk was particularly bothersome. It looks like some kind of swollen slime, and everytime I saw this at the end of sex scene, it felt just wrong, unnatural. I won't lower overall score for this one thing, but I have to admit that for me it was just gross.

I usually prefer 2D games, but this one had a lot of tags I was looking for and avoided the bimbo faces of other 3D games, so I gave it a shot, and I was not disappointed. The game plays more like an interactive novel in my opinion (the story is pretty linear but the order/timing you do things is player driven), going from one scene/interaction to the next, with some minor resource management and simplistic combat and a couple scavenging minigames. Overall it's uncomplicated, no real difficulty or grinding needed unless you're bad at managing your time, in which case it is very forgiving. It does not hold back on the sex scenes if that's what you're here for, and they definitely get arguably better as the game goes. In fact there are a few fetishes that I generally avoid (like pregnancy) that actually managed to be fairly sweet and endearing here. And that's the real beauty of the game, you get immersed into it and everything just sort of gels well and makes sense. So I'm saying, play this game for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Survival Horror loving harem romance it is, and enjoy the scenes and the comedy and progression as they come. The grammar/spelling can be questionable, but it's forgivable and not really jarring unless you're looking for problems. In my opinion, a must play if you like story driven ero games.

Side thought, I can actually understand why there is an incest mod for one of the later-game love interests introduced. I am not an incest fan, and arguably people like me are why it's not part of the main game, but I can put aside my own fetish-aversion and acknowledge that an incest sub plot would actually enhance the character interactions. It would increase the drama and further emphasize why the player and the love interest of note are struggling with their situation. Basically, I am further emphasizing that the game is immersive with an enjoyable plot, that withstands fetishes with its compelling storytelling.

Lots of content, great quality renders (even if the animation style takes some getting used to) and really fun story/atmosphere. You can soak a lot of time into this one, so maybe not one for a very casual player with a short attention span

It took me a while to finish this game, it's definitely a different genre than what I've tried so far and I liked it. This review was made after completing the game 100%. The story is really cute, it grabbed me right away and I really enjoyed the campaign, the only part where I got a little more bored was the cave, I found it a little empty and repetitive but maybe it's because it was a "temporary" situation. In terms of originality we are there, the plot is really cute and also the structure that it has undertaken is enticing. The character renderings are cute even if particular, they have their own style but playing the game completely you get attached to them. The sounds are perfect and also the soundtracks, they are well positioned in the various moments, especially the important ones. In terms of gameplay I found myself well, I had no difficulties along the way and I managed to complete everything without problems. As for performance issues I have not had any, the only issues I have encountered several times during gameplay are bugs with error codes from renpy, both during long and short sessions and when starting the game, but nothing that can disturb the gameplay, I ignored the errors and went back a few texts and I had no problems. The animations are very well done and immerse you completely. I recommend everyone to try this game because it is absolutely worth it!

Fun game to play. There are some grinding elements to it that seem to drag about mid part of the game but it becomes a lot easier as the game progresses. Lots of scenes to enjoy with a pretty fun story.

I finished the game. 5/5 !!
what can i say?
fancy animations.
the graphics are fancy.
great story.
funny moments.
great survival mechanic.
great combat mechanic.
good resource management.
all those things in an adult game.
5/5.

Great game! I loved the atmosphere, the character writing, and the mechanics. I wish there were more games that included the same post apocalyptic mechanics with great stories. Looking forward to more from this developer.

The worldbuilding in Mist makes it an easy recommendation

The animated renders help create a convincing world from there it's easy to get invested in the story + characters then binge the game to completion.

Playtime was 13hr 30mins as a fast reader/skipping repeat scenes

I think more than anything else, it was a joy to play this game as it was developing and see the creator come into their own. This is someone who learned quick and learned well, and the person who finished making this game was far more refined than the person who started it.

It's a great game, well written and brilliant about using its gameplay mechanics to tell a story better, with a lot of thought and consideration into every element.

The story is interesting. The "gameplay" is not hard, but still I find it interesting. I don't get why you would need "feast mode" as the resources are abundant and it's one of the few aspects of this story that makes it a "game". Otherwise pretty linear story.
I've enjoyed it very much despite the ridiculous heads

The renders look good and the story sounds interesting, but the gameplay is too repetitive and the progression is too slow. I've been playing for a couple of hours and I've still only met one girl and I haven't had sex with her properly. On the other hand, the game moves like a kinetic novel. So everything is very linear and you can't choose anything. That bothered me a bit because I would have liked to be able to choose the main character's personality and his approach to girls. In short, Mist's story is linear and slow-paced, and if you don't turn on feast mode at the beginning, the game becomes very repetitive due to the constant need for food. I'm not sure it's worth going to the end and finishing it. I've already lost interest for these reasons.

This is a perfect example when everything is in moderation. A simple but fascinating story. Cute girls and hot scenes. And I'm not even tired of grinding.
There aren't many girls, but this is a normal harem, not when there are more than a dozen of them and by the end of the game you get tired of them.
Play it, you won't regret it.

Finished the game. what a great story with smooth erotic animation. I cannot wait for more from this creator.
The leveling system is balanced so well with the Attack and Stamina having the perfect cap at just enough to want more but not too little to be a burden.

Awesome game. I am really not a fan of horror, so i delayed playing this for a long time. But it was just great. Somehow despite there being horror elements in this game, it still manages to be wholesome. And that is mainly because the great writing when it comes to character development and chemistry between these characters.

The art style, i remember not liking it when i started playing, but it really grew on me.

The sex scenes are great too in my opinion, expeccially appreciate the cum dripping endings in the scenes. Unfortunately so many games cheap out and don't show the cum at all. This one.... uhm sticks the landing!

If i would have to give a negative, it's that the ending is pretty rushed after the..... CLIMAX

Seriously though! While i would have loved to see some more of the squad rebuilding their lovely dovely family, the exclusion of that is nowhere near enough for me to subtract a star.

Full marks in my book!

Great game! Good story line, likeable characters, and a lot of adventure mini-game exploring that made the game continually interesting. So many games get mundane, too repetitive, and lose you with the story. This didn't disappoint at all. The only sad part is that it ended.

This game offers solid gameplay and engaging mechanics, though it doesn’t quite rank among the best in the adult gaming genre. Despite that, it remains captivating throughout its entirety. That said, I would have appreciated more challenging combat, especially in the later stages. As the game progressed, the combat felt more drawn-out than progressively complex or difficult. Additionally, I only realized the limitations of certain features, like level caps for some skills, much later in the game—this happened after I had already spent considerable time leveling up HP. Consequently, maxing out other skills felt delayed and less rewarding.

One major highlight of the game is its story. While not fully explained, it remains intriguing due to its blend of mystery and complexity. However, I would have loved more elaboration on the scientist’s backstory. For instance, including readable documents or deeper lore would have been a fantastic addition. The current reading segments sometimes felt oversimplified or distorted, and I wanted a stronger sense that the game had its facts straight before interpreting or twisting them creatively.

As for the graphics, I found the character designs somewhat unappealing; the models seemed overly simplified in comparison to the rest of the game’s visual aesthetic. However, the game as a whole is stunning. The mist, in particular, lends the visuals an almost acrylic-like vibe, beautifully emphasizing the melancholic atmosphere of the narrative.

When it comes to characters, I deeply appreciated the individuality of each one. The ability to distinguish between the LIs through more than just their visual design is always a major plus. This distinction became even more crucial here, given my earlier comments on the character models’ lack of appeal.

Overall, my experience with the game was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

I don't usually review but I had to. This is hands down the best game I have ever played in this genre. I'm a fair portion through the story and can't put it down. Can't wait to see the end.

Art, gameplay mechanics, story, animation and sound!, all fantastic.

Full 10/10 (the only critique i can give is i would have enjoyed a nice bush on Lily!)

Masterpiece of a Ren'Py game. Very atmospheric, felt the tension at times. A few minor bugs, but can circumvent them and doesn't affect game.

Art - 5/5
Music - 5/5
Story - 5/5
Gameplay - 5/5

Definitely worth playing. Personal top 3 Ren'Py games.
