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

I must say that the story hooked me more than I expected, pity that ends with that filthy cliphanger, I like that it has animations, they are very good, the only "bad" thing or that I do not like is Robin's face, I see it very rare but they are small, now to wait for it to advance to play it again

Someone else called this a "waifu simulator" so I downloaded to try it out. Turns out he was exaggerating for the most part, it's not much of a simulator of anything - the story is perfectly linear and it's basically a "grind a bit to unlock it all" type of game design.

Which isn't necessarily bad, the graphics are unusual and cute-looking in their own cartoon way, the story is ok. Not much content was ready yet in the version I played, but I did find myself looking forward to when more is released.

4/5, and it's not a waifu simulator at all, that's for sure. But I feel like the game wasn't trying to be a simulator, it simply wants to be a cute story on rails with some grinding in there - which is fine in its own right, just a lot less ambitious than being any kind of simulation.

A fictional woman in a videogame feels more human and charming than any real woman I've interacted with in real life. I'm not sure whether that's depressing, or invigorating. Either way, peak waifu simulation.

Version 0.3 update

This game has improved from the 0.1.1 version, enough so that it earned its fifth star IMHO. The MC's dialog is far more natural now which was my biggest complaint with the original. There's a garden you can grow with makes the survival parts less of a hassle. And the storyline is good enough to actually read. It doesn't hit you with moon logic puzzles either, everything thus far has made sense. Despite only being a couple of updates the amount of new content is sizeable which bodes well for the game continuing.

Version reviewed: 0.1.1

This is a combination Survival Horror/Porn game. You are a generic porn game male MC trapped in a cabin in the woods with a young highly corruptible girl. Your basic gameplay loop is to collect food and find components to craft into tools that help you collect even more food and tools. The woods are full of monsters so each trip is perilous but also necessary for your survival.

The renders are somewhat cartoony but they look good. There are a few fairly stiff animations that work alright. The storyline isn't much, basically boom there are monsters, here is a girl, grind some stats and go.

There is one fairly serious flaw that robs this game of one star for me. The MC is a rapey douchenozzle. I'm not usually bothered so much by rape in these games but this guy is just the absolute worst. It's like you're playing one of those games where you have dialog options (this game does not) and you choose the "bad" choice each time.

Girl: Thank you for rescuing me.
Guy: Those monsters were scary.
Girl: I hope we don't run into any more of them.
Guy: I MUST TOUCH YOUR BOOBIES!

The worst part is the girl seems kinda into him before he goes all creepy weirdo on her. This happens repeatedly and it's absolute cringe every time.

Porn content is fairly regular but also very low at this point (it's 0.1.1). Some peeping and bit of light BDSM. Some of the scenes are so mild it's hard to believe you're still playing a porno game. Like she takes off her jacket and shows off the cleavage you could already see.

There are pretty strong hints that there will be more girls in the future which could be interesting. There might even be a bit of resource management--assigning girls to different tasks. None of that is in the game yet, and it's closer to a VN than a sim style game. You're pretty much railroaded down the one and only path with only some side quests to gather a bit more food or something. There's no branching plotlines and only very minimal (and capped) stat grinds.

I'm intrigued enough to try out the next version, but if the MC continues to act like a total asshat I'll probably have to drop it. Shame too because there's a lot of promise in the theme and overall quality.

I really enjoyed this game. I like the art style, it's quite a bit different than most visual novels. The animations are decently fluid. I enjoy a little bit of grind for a reward . Overall I think the dev has something good started. Good luck in your game sir.

Okay first off I think the art style of the character are unique and different from your typical Daz models. The intro of the game really pique my interest. The gameplay or navigation menu are different from your typical VN novel.

Yet the only thing that bothers me is how immature the MC is. Even the girl is unrealitic in her willingness to be passive and please the mc. At first I thought the game was going to have a good story, but it quickly dissolves that with the mc acting like a 5th grader.

Sometimes I feel that people who make these games really need to take a class in writing. Learn character development. A girl who was being chased from a monster in the woods would not just flash a stranger her tits, because he asked out loud the next day.

There are other things in the writing that steer me the wrong way in the way the mc behaves. Example is Robin the blonde girl from the pictures is in the kitchen making food with the food in the pantry. The mc scolds her and berates her to make her seem stupid. That she wasn't thinking about food supplies. It sort of makes a cute game into a cringefest. Almost you just want to skip the dialog.

I give it a four because I love the art style and music, gameplay mechanics. Yet the writing can be improved a lot to make the mc not so much of a douchebag. And the girls not turn into mindless drones that they only serve one purpose and that is to please the mc.

Pretty Good Game so far, nice animations for both scenes and moving around the house also creative scene replay. The idea is also super creative and from what i understood there will be more girls which is always NOICE. I dont know what engine the DEV used to create the game and then implement it into Ren'Py but its a nice one, everything looks good in my opinion, nice models and visuals, they look Like a Cartoon (Nice).

A good start,hot girl ,also nice that she is kinda kinky from the beginning ,nice dialog,gotta love the zombie scenario,the animations are well done,especially the sweat effect.Really looking forward to what this will grow into.

My humble Review for version v.01
The background music is great I enjoyed listening to the music.

The sound effects are simple and do the job it matches perfectly with the art and in-game interactions.

The Girl (Robbin) looks kinda weird like her face is missing something, but she's hot.

the mechanics on getting food are repetitive and sometimes annoying but the game is too early and new, that being said the mechanics are great and cool.

The images (art) are pretty nice, not realistic like other games but nice and clean, it feels like a grinding game with action/adventure, you get the feeling of a reward for every completed action.

The story feels like some teenage horny "every young dream" novel book.

The animations are ok I guess, laggy but ok

Game is managed by one dev(i think) and waw, what a beast to manage a game on your own.

5 Stars.
