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

Version played: v1.0.3

First of all I was kind of debating with myself what score I should give this VN. While it definitely brings unique models and a good story but where I was hyped for every update at the start this I became less enthusiastic towards the end.

To me the story is just a bit too long whole cave saga felt a bit redundant. At some point you have seen the only so many positions on the for characters and it becomes stale. It's a porn game after all.

Another thing is the animations especially at the start were very slow and it all felt quite clay-like.

This changed near the end but still not for the majority of it.

Still considering the landscape out there I would have to give it the 5 star score it deserved, even if I was no longer looking forward to the last version near the end. I will admit that the last act was a good way to finish things off, just before that there was quite a boring drop

This game is fantastic. The story is one of the bests I've seen in an H-game, I really like the characters, and the H-scenes are pretty hot as well. It's like comfort food for the heart. Having finished it now, I feel a strong sense of loss. The same you feel after reading a good book or watching a good show. Hopefully the creator will make more marbles like this in the future.

The entirety of the game was great, the only annoying bit was 'grinding' the correct paths in some areas, but even then everything gave something for the effort. and oh boy, was it ever worth it! recommend 10/10. plus its one of the few actually finished games that is amazing.

This game is S tier. Good story, top tier unique animation that doesn't stop on orgasm with lame still frames and blinking lights, no copy characters like most games I've seen so far. Overall just a really well made games with some of the best animation I've seen so far.

Just cant see it deserving such high praise when even maker knows he made a mess of story more and more.

-2.5
Granted I know most don't care about such things but for me it totally ruined it .
Especially since this game also makes that giant flaw of pretend choice where you get a choice at times but it does nothing besides change 1 thing she says next sort of deal and then just continues on with whatever he wants to say (typical o f ya you my toy or fuck we will yes or fuck ya fuck everyone we going to fuck fuck or w/e ).
--
Had he maybe just put a bigger focus on the plants corrupting them and not them apparently being a bunch of horny bimbos more and more themselves that would have saved it but fact they go from innocent - horny as f with fetishes - breed me bimbo just hea...


Great in many the other areas, though I am 1 to see the gameplay as not needed to be quite so grindy even with the added method to reduce it greatly as due to above, it just felt it didn't contribute much outside here something to do before next sex scene ("story" segment) and in those then ie eroge I feel it best to minimize or remove the unneeded and focus on it just being the porn it is.

+ Distinctive models: none of that typical DAZ or HoneySelect looks
+ Spicy sex: expression and writing on point
+ Actually complete: how many of your favorite H games have been in development forever?
+ Atmospheric: not many H games take place in an apocalyptic world, even fewer manage the horror vibe so well

- honestly I'm not all that about the gameplay, ymmv
- plot is not the most exciting

Overall recommend everyone to give the game a try. Polished, complete games are rare these days.

Good storyline and atmosphere. The soundtrack of the game fits perfectly into the setting. Funny and lively characters. Well written dialogues. The scenes are pretty good. I haven't seen the ending yet, but I'm really hoping for a twist and a happy ending. Definitely one of the best non-Japanese visual novels.

Hands down one of the very best H-Games I've ever played. The overall graphics are pretty, the animations are amazing, nice character writing, an intriguing story, not even the gameplay loop was lame.
10/10

Version: v1.0.3

Review:
It's hard to describe it, it has great sex scenes but it also has bad gameplay, not bad but boring. I was disappointed because I had a progress that was at the end, the game savefile didn't recognize it and I had to start all over again.
I say nothing has changed, just the option to skip cutscenes because the progress I was on was the same, just a small change at the end. Anyway, this game has a lot of good and some bad things, it's something that in my thought the game could be much more than he should be.

History:
I always appreciate for original stories, here the dev was smart to take a Mist movie and series idea and create his own adult game version, this is gratifying to see, something you always see in games an absurd copy/paste or worse clones than the original game. But unfortunately it was not a story that held me, some boring and irritating things,

Gameplay:
It's the bad part of this game. Point-n-click with a lightness blend of Rambo: The Game (style) with resource management that imo only delays the player's gameplay. Yeah, it makes the player level up to move forward, manage food, improve their skills, find items in the scenario, this is not for me. It got bad, you know? It was of no use, just to waste time. It's a different style of play, it's actually a playable game, but I don't see the need to impose so much, lots of resources to spend hours playing, it becomes tiring. I hope in the next game, think about it, if I didn't spend so much time creating cutscenes of moving scenarios, I could have more slutty content as I said about the story, there is no constructive relationship, but it's not boring, it's fast and confortable, however, there could be more content but something tells me that the game was great with what it was presented. My problem was the exaggeration of the cutscenes, (only after the full version did you have the option to skip) and some resource management that just make the player waste their time. However, I congratulate it for the originality, it was a great job even though I didn't like it very much.

Graphics & Sexual Content:
The graphics are ok, but the renders of the girls could be a little better, because the difference between the MC model and the girls, it seems that the MC is better rendered, in many games it's the opposite, but the girl renders look great too. What stands out the most in this game are the animations, great, excellent, not all are perfect but with qualities (it's weird to see the MC dropping cow's milk from his dick /it's a joke). The content is satisfactory, excellent sex scenes, enjoyable and hot. Very appreciable.

PROS:
- Great renders of female models
- Great animations
- Creative story

CONS:
- Point-n-click w/ resource management
- Motion cutscenes (skippable)
- Tiring gameplay (use cheats)

Why I did gave 3 stars?
As much as I found the story creative I found the story silly too. I prefer a more adult story but otherwise it's not bad, it's just taste. I had my problem on my old save that I was at the end and I had to play it all over again, after two updates (this counts as the second and last one) I was disappointed with the completed content, could have a little more but the ending is at least acceptable and pleasant. So, the gameplay is tiring, the motion cutscenes are too and i hope devs don't imitate that, because I played this without the option to skip at the time and I was angry to have to watch it. It's a job well done by the dev but not everyone will enjoy it. I know a 3 star rating is not fair, but there are things in the game that are annoying.

One of my favorites!
- Gorgeous girls
- Smooth animations
- Interesting story
- Lots of lewd content

The lewd scenes are really explicit - it is pure pleasure to watch!
Yes there is some grinding - yet it is easy to bypass.
I hope to see more from this dev!

Top tier game. Having played through the full game, this game is an amazing cinematic porn game with some rpg elements. There are few, if none, games that rival this game and the quality that this developer puts out. I recommend this game.
Scenes: 10/10
Renders: 10/10
Story: 9.99/10
Porn: 69/69

Such a damn good game. Amazing story, awesome dialogue, great scenes, awesome sex, ...It's just SO GOOD! I will be eagerly awaiting any new games that even attempt to come close to this great game. WELL DONE!

Great story, writing, art style, and sex scenes! Followed this game from the very first build on F95, and became a Patron somewhere along the way. I really can't wait to see what this creator has in store for us next!

Now that the game is completed I will put my review of it, I have played through the whole game and it is quite the experience, I definitely recommend playing this without much knowledge of the game itself.
The atmosphere it creates, the sounds, music, design of everything makes up for this unique game on the site, especially in regards of 3D, the dev nailed with the look of the game but also and most importantly he nailed the story, I was entertained with the plot, the jokes were for the most part good and overall the writing was on point.
As for the gameplay, honestly while I am more of a VN type of guy, the game elements of this were good, not to difficult and had a very simple combat system that keeps you focused and lets you do a bit of strategy.
In conclusion, I recommend this game and wish all the best to the dev for his future games and I can't wait to play them.

This is a fantastic game, fun, erotic and enough of a story hook to keep you interested. The art is different than the usual fare, but it definitely grew on me and I found myself liking it by the end. Definitely play this. Thank you to the devs for all the hard work put into this game. It shows <3

Excellent all round package with tons of playtime.

Has plenty of flaws, but every flaw is outweighed by a strength. Gameplay is fundamentally simple and repetitive, but the pacing and progression keep it engaging. Visually, there's no particularly strong sense of style or direction, yet it has a ton of top notch 3d models and animations. The premise initially seems to be a simple fanservicey fantasy-mystery, but the game puts in the time and effort to develop the characters and story. The result is above average dialog, some very effective atmosphere (alternating between cosy, playful, and tense) and a genuinely engaging mystery. The sex scenes are plentiful and well done, though the music often doesn't match the mood too well, and honestly they stop being the main draw after a while.

Overall, come for the impressive graphics, stay for the lengthy and engaging journey.

I think could be a solid 4 even 4.5.

Great things about the game:
- Art, uncommon for me, but incredibly well made backgrounds, characters and H-scenes. Honestly the H scenes are nearly without comparison in the genre! You can tell it was a labor of love.
- Music, incredibly well crafted soundtrack that really add to the atmosphere. I found myself not changing frames at times to enjoy the gloomy eeriness of the atmosphere. Kudos!
- Story, this is a story that is amongst the best in the genre. It is compelling and "scary", actually made me want to hear more about the world and how our heroes fit in this world. Finally, even though the ending was a little bit out of "tone" with the rest of the story, it was incredibly endearing and sweet.

Bad things about the game:
- MC's narration: this game could have 30% of it's text removed and it would actually improve the end product without impacting the game at all. "Show it don't say it". The art is so fantastically good that there is really no good reason for MC to describe absolutely everything, twice over most times, in painstaking details.
- Dialogues: particularly during the H scenes, the dialogue is essentially the same for every single scene. Worse, most of these read like weird Japanese manga translation.... Honestly the world building is so good and the characters (for the most part) are so well fleshed-out and then during H scene they devolve to manga-tier retardation. Also incredibly repetitive, the author shouldn't be afraid to push the envelope on dialogue and kinks IMO. Again "Show it, don't say it".
- Weird relationship dynamics. Another user mentioned the lack of human contact between characters and he was right. However, my biggest peeve is how MC is supposedly "owning" these girls that discover their own submissiveness (hot), but then they proceed to walk all over him and humiliate him without any coherent reaction (cringe)...
- MC is an autistic retard with no ability to react appropriately to situations or infer about other characters mood/desire even when they ham-fistedly telegraph their feelings to him. In an other review I read was the best description: "retarded doormat".
- Mia is annoying as shit. Still, I get it's part of her character and I think that without the other issue with narration/dialogue it would actually be bearable and possible even enjoyable.
- Playing without the taboo patch makes the Lily story arc absolutely head-through-the-wall frustrating (see MC being a retard point). With the appropriate relationships however, it makes a lot more sense (still a bit frustrating though).

While there seems to be a lot more bad then good, it's not actually the case. The good parts of this game outweigh the negatives for sure. And I think the tweaks to make the experience better on all levels would be fairly simple to implement. Which won't happen because the game is completed. Ultimately, if the game ever makes it on Steam, I'll buy it because I want to support the developer. Looking forward to see what they plan to do next.

P.S.: Dev, if you read this, I really enjoyed your game, but you can definitely do much better dialogue-wise.

I just finished playing the game and i've got to say easily it's one of the best games on this site the work and love of the dev on this game is shown in every way the gameplay is unique and fun and skipable for those who want to play for the story original apocaliptic story and lovable characters GREAT sex scenes and animations really unique game highly recommend this <3

While I preferred the earlier version of the beginning of this game that doesn't mean I didn't really enjoy my full playthrough in the end. Enjoyable characters, a compelling plot and well done H scenes that keep in pace with the story and your relationships with the women. One of my favorites on the site and should be checked out by anyone looking for something new to try.

I'm so conflicted.

I love the artstyle, I generally like the story, the gameplay is just good enough to be engaging but not detract from this being at heart a porn game, I like the characters. The spacing between H-scenes and filler is perfect for long game sessions. I am sometimes mildly annoyed by the trope of "MC is clueless" but that point passes. If this was where the review ends, this game would have gotten 4 stars and maybe 5. Sadly it's not where the review ends.

The game is so overproduced it's very laggy, anticipate about a second of input lag per input. Normally this wouldn't be a problem in a RenPy VN, but this isn't a VN, you'll be doing a lot of menuing, and you'll get annoyed with the slowness after around 30 minutes of gameplay.

Speaking of menus, here's a hint I wish I was told - the hitbox for the excursions, the button you probably click the most often, is probably about 5 pixels wide at the very top of the table. Good pixel-hunting, hope your hands are steady.

While I generally like the story, sometimes I wish the writer were thrown into prison and never given a pencil, so that they aren't able to write anything ever again cause the writing is that nonsensical (all the constant passing out for days upon days, the whole "your sister is mind controlled by the bad guy and manages to kidnap you with two enemies you can easily defeat" sequence, the early sequence of Mia being rescued is a casualty too, there's also what currently passes for an ending...) - thankfully, these moments are rare, but you will want to rip your eyeballs out when they happen.

Although the hints system is pretty exhaustive (thanks hints system!), you will still be faced with sometimes getting lost with what you have to do, sometimes getting lost in the labyrinth of levels, and sometimes having to pixel hunt the entire map to find the thing that you're looking for. Exploration is fun, puzzles are fun, being given directions that don't work, labyrinth traversal and pixel hunting is not.

Combine these two and you get a very engaging, very hot, but very annoying experience with episodes of rage. I really want to like the game, but I just...can't.
