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

Things I liked:
1. The story kept me engaged for four days. At first I thought it'd be typical "it's the end of the world so let's fuck"-type VN but I was surprised to find how well written it was.
2. Some of the best renders and animations I've seen .
3. Loveable characters, each of them has well defined personality.
4. Even though there is not much gameplay, still whatever it offers is well balanced. Didn't need to grind at all.

Thing's that could be improved:
1. The writing had a little inconsistency at certain points but that would be nitpicking.

Best girl : MIA <3

The "gaming" part of the game is totally pontless, story and characters are not so engaging, the art is peculiar, characters look somewhat like dolls but you can get used to it, the fetishes and animations are on pont.
Not a bad game but there's definitely better.
The "loli" tag is probably not appropriate.

Amazing game, I've played a lot of games on this website and the only game story wise I've liked more than this one is being a dik, but that game story wise is one of my fav of all time and not just for adult games.

This game emotionally compels you to care about the characters rather than them just being horny holes to fill. The level of detail of the world and even the combat for an adult game is impressive.

The only downside is the grapics of the characters you are fucking is pretty low compaired to some of the other games out there which is the only reason I haven't given it 5 stars.

It's been ages since a games story and visuals sucked me in
I really can't wait to see what this amazing developer is doing in this next game , which already looks amazing .

Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
enjoyable engrossing dialogue that made me care about each character
Characters : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The 3D models are shapely alluring and unique which really set the game apart from boring DAZ models and ripped game assets

3D cutscenes and sprites done well for once! Along with a compelling concept and interesting story, fun characters, gameplay that's sufficiently involved and engaging without being grindy, this game was a pleasure to play from start to finish.

This was a whole lot better than I was expecting it to be, to be honest. This game is also pretty long which I very much enjoy.

Graphics
I really liked the visuals of this game. The art style of the ladies is unique to these sorts of games and has become something that I enjoy. Each love interest had her own style and each was unique and stood out from the others. A very good amount of variety to the ladies. A lot of these VN's can have women that are very similar in game but also similar when compared to women in other games. I'm glad that 395 chose a distinct art style to differentiate this VN from others.

Gameplay
Pretty complex as far as VN's go. The bulk of the game play is clicking through dialogue and making choices but the stuff that isn't normal VN conventions are pretty well done. The combat is engaging enough and lasts about as long as it needs to. When combat seems to be dragging on and taking a while, you will then soon become stronger and be able to progress faster. It was pretty interesting too. I enjoyed the choice aspect of combat and weighing different outcomes. Just enough complexity to keep from being stale but still simple enough that it never became frustrating.

Story
Pretty good I think. A few VN cliches do come up but those are now kind of ubiquitous to VN's. MC gets stranded and is a chosen one. Women show up after a set amount of time and the MC grows closer to them. An over simplification but the meat of the story sets this apart from most other games. Each character has a distinct personality and treats the MC in a manner believable to their character. Some sweet moments to be had. There's a lot of character and humanity in the different people you will meet.

9/10
very good visuals. Animations are very good.
Story is sweet and meaningful.
Not boring. Keeps you engaged.

From the beginning it didn't catch my attention, I mean the cover and the images I saw I thought I wouldn't like it, but after playing it I must say it was excellent

THE GOOD
At first I thought it was a boring story, but as I progressed I liked the plot much more. The characters are good too, their personalities are different, so it doesn't feel repetitive. the map is fine. The +18 scenes seem good to me and it has a considerable number of scenes for the content it has. The plot of the story, its development/enemies/goals all seem good to me.

THE BAD

There are certain +18 scenes, which I think are unjustified, that is, I particularly like that a +18 scene has a background and justifies why that scene came, but here are some that do not have a justification for their scene . On the other hand, I think I'm not sure, there is 1 character whose sprite seems to be unfinished compared to the others that look more detailed. I feel that certain abilities that some characters have are not justified due to their past, that is, just because 1 person knew someone who was a nuclear physicist, suddenly they have all the knowledge about physics... Well, they are negative things that are more related to the plot line than anything else in the game.

Summary:
o Character Design/Visual: 4.5/5
o Background music/sound: 5/5
o Plot: 4.7/5
o Animation: 5/5
o +18 Scenes: 4/5
o Gameplay: 5/5
Interface: 5/5

I think it's a game worth playing and that I would recommend, the plot hooks you and it has a good amount of +18 content (which is the most important thing in this type of game) equivalent to what it has in text. It's entertaining, in many ways.

A survival game with a fun gameplay-loop, a thematic story, slick animations and more.


Gameplay is a big attraction here. You set out on adventures by clicking on the map in your room. In these adventures you'll earn EXP, hunt and explore. It's elegantly and thematically done without feeling like a grind.

Story is some Lovecraft/Resident Evil craziness (in a good way). Without spoiling too much, you'll huddle up in a cabin which acts as your headquarters from which you try to deal with the mystery mist.

Dialog gets my only criticism (but it's not bad to the point it affects scoring). Grammar is fine, but at times it has a simple forwardness while also overexplaining things.

Sex is as well animated as the story bits. Yes, a lot in the game is animated and its buttery smooth too!


All things together I see why this has received all its praise. The production value is so high that it doesn't even need the porn to earn a recommendation.

i have followed this game since 0.7 and this is easily the best erotic game i have played, the story was 10/10, the sex was 10/10, the action was 10/10, the setting was 10/10. this was the best game it can be and i am excited for the next game

Wow, what a ride this was, there is nothing that I can write that isn't already mentioned in other reviews but I'll do it anyways cause this deserves more than only 5 stars, this deserves a certificate framed and hanged in the devs room.

Renders: 5/5 ⭐
Very unique, not sure what is used to render this but it looks very refreshing and different from any other game.

Animations: 6/5 ⭐
What the hell is this, it goes above and beyond some triple A games, super smooth and insane attention to detail, no clipping or anything that looks weird.

Story: 5/5 ⭐
Interesting story, I know few games already went with the stranded in a forest style story, but this still felt unique and amazing in it's own way, the whole animations and art style of the game just fits perfectly for a fantasy horror world.

Gameplay: 5/5 ⭐
A bit of open world exploration kind of game, has all quest logs in one page unlike some other games where you have to click 10 times to know what to do next, the combat is very new and special it does not feel like a renpy game at all.

Sounds: 5/5 ⭐
This is almost like watching a movie, everything has sounds, footsteps, monsters, both action music and calm music...etc

This wraps up my review, I hope to see more from the dev in the future and I'll be looking forward to it.

one of the best quality games on the site, really great videos, and girls with different personalities, not varied fetishes, and not varied sexual scenes as i the last few scenes kind of disappointed me that we this exact same thing already.
its not a game you play for incest content, the sister is cute and all, but it just added flavor to the game that's all.
The girls belong to 4 different body types so you will get the loli and you will get the milf and two inbetweeners.
My Favorite was the goddess of course.

Version: 1.0.3[Completed]

What an excellent game!!!

Pros:

- The story is well brought and developed, even if it does not revolutionize its genre at all

- The sandbox is very simple to use but effective

- The gameplay is really nice, with some cool QTE

- The characters are almost all charming, the main antagonist is missing something, but the rest is really good

- H-scenes and animations were very correct in the first versions of the game, but in these last versions the content is top quality

- The content is proportional to the life of the game, nice balance on this side

Cons:

- The exploration is a bit too linear, except for the grind and the story there is not much to see

- We would have liked to have more, the game is so good

- No avoidable content for some fetish(pregrant sex, incest), it's really details, but I know that some people are not too fond of this kind of content and maybe would have liked to avoid it. Personally, it doesn't bother me more than that

- Harem made of 4 beautiful women, a 5th or 6th would not be refused

Conclusion

A game of a rare quality that kept all its promises, a good post-apocalyptic story, a harem of great quality, a solid gameplay, scenes and very erotic moments, what to say more, the game has a very correct duration with only 3 years of development.
A quality work that did not drag on like many projects on this forum.

A big thank you to 395games_Rathieu and all those who contributed to the project (developer, donors, musician, all people who worked on it) <3

A game of rare quality, featuring unique and custom graphics, and a gameplay rhythm that feels more or less unique to Mist.

Mist is one of the rare games on this site that manages to carve a unique identity for itself. First and foremost is the graphics, the first thing you see. Mist has unique models and art style, such as the ever present Mist. Hah. But seriously. The model's themselves have a unique texture/gloss to them that somehow looks like pores, sweat, and playdough at the same time. It sounds like a criticism, but it's actually pretty hot and I spend a lot of time looking at how the characters sort of glow in the renders.

The gameplay loop is pretty unique too, stretching out the limits of what Renpy can realistically do. I'd say my criticism is that things in Mist can feel rather slow, such as transitions, and animations, where you can be rapidly clicking and then all of a sudden it stops for 3 seconds, goes to a scripted animation, and then stops for 3 seconds before it returns. Maybe the loading is due to Renpy but it can sort of stop the game flow.

Compared to the other games that I rate 5/5, the story and characters are slightly weaker here. Characters establish themselves a bit worse, and at times where you'd expect to look into the Mist for more mystery and details, it can come up more hollow than expected, but it's not enough to be a large criticism.

What I say for other games holds true for Mist. The developer of Mist should be proud that from the start of the game, they had a vision in mind, and was able to execute their rather ambitious vision without losing track, and without falling into feature creep, or just burnout.

A bonus advantage to Mist is that while I feel that there are some things that can improved upon, the dev nailed the unique style and look that they are going for, which could carry them across several games, such as the previews released for their next project.

I for one am ready to jack off to more girls made of wet playdough.

This game is honestly awesome and easily one of my favourites, if not my favourite when it comes to Adult Visual Novels. The story is simple, yet quite entertaining, and what shines the most are the characters. All of them are compelling and quite appealing, with each one having distinct personalities and body types. And, of course, when it comes to art direction this game comes out on top out of all the rest in my humble opinion. If I were to add anything, it would be different fetishes, maybe, without going too wild, seeing that this game remains quite vanilla.

Edit: still one of my favourites due to the art style and the scenes, but definitely not the best as I have tried many more that are superior in every aspect to this game. It's still a really good game, but my review definitely showed how unexperienced I was with AVNs.

Honestly on of the best hentai games i ever played. The story was really well planed and intresting. All the girls were cute beliveable and sexy. I enjoyed all the sex scenes and and fireplace events. If you have some time to kill and are looking for not only a good fap but also a good story i highly recommend you to give this game a try.

not perfect but closer to 5 than 4 stars, has the same problems that many games with animations have, the corruption or romance is faster, but is understandable, what annoyed me the most was kissing only at the end of the game, also felt repetitive after leaving the house

The quality of this game was outstanding. The well-written story was a pleasant surprise to me as I had no idea what road the game was going to go down before I played it. There are too many good things to say about this VN, but what I will say that when they credits rolled I was happy with the experience the game provided. From character interactions to the combat to the environments the story sprawled in, everything was just what it needed to be, not too much and not too little, just right. Thank you for going above and beyond making an experience that I will remember whenever I think about reading a visual novel again.

absolute banger, story is great, everything is great, although if I had to nitpick, the english is a little awkward at times, but I believe that is just due to translation. 95% of the time it's perfect though and you wouldn't even notice.

Mist is a really interesting game with a nice different 3D style and a lot of scenes. The gameplay consists of a point and click story progression and some basic combat/rpg mechanics. It is very refreshing compared to the usual WEG visual novels. The author goes really deep into the story, with plenty of lore and explanations about everything. It really seems he enjoys the apocalypse theme and supernatural creepiness. The problem is that there is just too much of it, you will get tired with the hundreds of lines about the very complex situation that caused the scenario. And not only is the story too heavy, but it gets in the way of the scenes. Multiple scenes just feel weird to have, despite being interesting, because some catastrophe suddenly happens. A very odd mix of feelings in such a short time span. A more light take on the story would have been better, not trespassing the specific moments nor tiring you over its longness.
Personally I disliked the big change sections. I feel they overstay their presence and did a bit of damage in the enjoyment of the game. But you can soldier on considering how much care there is for the relationship and character growth. This game has the bliss to be focused on quality over quantity, a plague in WEGs, here you have four characters that you will spend a lot of time with, have many different scenes, and actually grow to care for them.
It is not only a very well made game of its genre, but I would consider it one of the top western ones.

This game is original, survival and turn based combat in a renpy game is not that common, but it is cool that dev a least offers the choice to avoid the survival aspect because it can get tedious and the plot might feel cringe at times but it solves the logic issue of harem games. Good scenes overall but girls are bit one dimensional. Doesnt keep me from giving 5 stars tho.
