    Years of being a lurker and I come out of my hole just to give this one 5 stars. Great story and game. Characters are entertaining and have actual personalities instead of your usual brainless slut. The writing was entertaining and you will feel an actual connection to the characters

    Review for v1.0.3

    Take Resident Evil-esque horror and combine it with an almost juvenile level of dialogue (plus a hint of anime) and you have Mist.

    I'm going to mention that I held the skip button for the last 4th of the game because I found the dialogue to be kind of awful and just wanted to see the ending after a point. Take that how you will.

    First, credit where credit is due. Mist has some nice renders, unique models, and really good animations. Some saving graces for sure. I'm glad this wasn't afraid to put in some threesomes and lesbian stuff. The story was actually really interesting to me as well when it focused on the horror and mystery elements. I didn't expect it to get as dark as it did. Also a very rare completed game, which I give props for despite my overall mixed feelings.

    Now without a doubt, the worst thing in Mist was the MC. I feel like a broken record at this point with how many AVNs have this issue for me, but I couldn't connect with him in the slightest. A bit of a creep in the beginning and by the end I was holding the skip button whenever he spoke. The sex dialogue made me cringe with the blunt attempts at maledom. More than anything, he just really doesn't fit the role I suppose. It feels like he gets saved by plot armor more than being a competent individual.

    The love interests looked good enough despite all having the same body type, but they all fell flat personality wise. Not very memorable for me. Robin could honestly be removed from the game and not much would change. It felt like the dev kinda forgot about her halfway through and only made her relevant for sex scenes. Props for a pseudo monster girl though, but even she ended up being a little underwhelming for me. I would also feel confident in saying incest was probably thrown in purely to get the attention of people who like it, because speaking as a guy who's into it, it was not done well at all. Your sister is down to fuck just as quick as all the other girls.

    I typically like sandboxes, but this game did not need to be one. It puts you on rails, offers no real choices, and does very little to make the sandbox interesting. So much more could have been done with it.

    I won't spoil the ending, but as I said I think plot armor carried the MC more than anything. I didn't really care for how the final confrontation was handled. The ending scenes after it were alright though. People who liked the game will probably be fine with it, but since I wasn't that invested in the characters it was whatever for me.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    I think Mist's strength was that more mature and serious tone that presented itself with the plot. If more of that had been encompassed into the characters and events I think I would have liked the game more. I do think I'm in the minority with not enjoying the game as much as others, and I still think it's worth a play regardless of my issues with it. You don't get a completed experience often on this site.

    Ok, this is quality. I must say I didn't want this kind of game nor did I expect one, but playing it feels great. Excellent work. Very unique and lovely style.

    Who knows how many hours of gameplay, I played it for days and still haven't reached the end of the story. And there's no need to rush it. THE GAME AMTOSPHERE IS JUST ON POINT, it's perfect and it makes the game, the plot is captivating as well.

    There is a li-i-ttle grind part involved, but it's like nothing, the game is really not about the grind, but the moments in between and the story in general.

    And by the way, the game sound is awesome!.. H-Scenes too, they are animated, they are real good. Even if I'm kinda sad on... idk, 'interactive' part of them. Sometimes I wish there were more dialogue choices to rule out some situations (and it's kinda not good to make a choice where everything leads to one exact answer). But... doesn't really matter, now I'm just nagging.

    Dev is extremely skilled and the VN is extremely good. Not sure about the 'musthave' part since it's also sort of time consuming... But yeah, I love it. Solid 5/5. Remarkable content on this site (yup, good luck finding something that's COMPLETE without a filter!).

    p.s. must add, MC is really a "nice guy" (as said in other reviews), maybe not to any extreme extend though. Bearable, and remember - it's just a game =) everything will be ok for their relationships, you can always make your fantasy as well.

    This story, women, and gameplay of this game are all good and keep this game from being a one star game. There is one thing about this game that made playing it such a bore and really hard to get through, and that is the MC himself. He is such a boring, stupid little bitch. I mean there's a "nice guy" MC and then there's this little pushover. Like always telling the girls it's not fair when they just want to give him a quick BJ or something cause they wouldn't be pleasured as well. Dude, grow some balls. Not every time is both parties going to be pleasured. Sometimes the man pleasures the woman and then sometimes it's the reverse. That's not a bad thing, but he's always crying and whining about how it's not fair for him to receive any kind of pleasure. He is also surprisingly arrogant and condescending in his thoughts. The women are giving him clear signals that they are into him like touching him, coming on to him, or acting nervous around him and all he can think is that they can't be into him and there's no wiggle room until they basically have to spell it out for him or jump him. Also he's really uncomfortable with even talking about sex, even after already starting relationships with the girls and them all knowing that they are having sex. You want to play a game with a prude, stupid, pushover MC that's constantly asking permission for every little movement, then this is the game for you. This game also has the double standard of it being wrong for the MC to do anything to the girls during sleep, but it being ok for the girls to touch and suck him off in sleep. I hate when devs put this in. Either it's ok to do sleep stuff or it's not. There's no difference if the guy or girls do it. I cannot stress how annoying and exaggerated the MC is in the nice guy persona.

    Very well-made game, but with some low points that really drag it down.

    Great character models and animations here. Refreshing change of pace from the usual DAZ models. It's a completely linear VN and dialog choices are pure flavor text, and I think that's a positive. You won't miss out and scenes, and almost nobody would want to retread branching paths in a game this size. Story starts out interesting but it kind of falls off and drags on for too long. There's a sandbox-like exploration and looting gameplay loop, which starts out fairly fun and is one of the better ones I've seen in RenPy games, even if it gets re-used a bit much. Hits that sweet spot between giving you some actual gameplay while not being annoying and bumping into engine limitations, like RenPy minigames often do.

    Still, by the end, I had been ready for the game to end for a while. Think it would have been better if it had been compressed to half the size, honestly. Sure there is lots of content, but much of it is repetitive as hell and in terms of sex acts, you will have seen pretty much everything within a couple of hours..

    Skip button got a workout.

    The main negative for me, though, is the writing. I can't stand the harem game trope of two-dimensional worshipful females in general, but it feels particularly bad here, with cringy almost icky dialog. Maybe it's extra noticeable because of how good the game is otherwise. It isn't all bad, and some of the story beats and casual talk is funny at times. But the sex talk was consistently awful and robbed the scenes of much hotness.

    PROS
    - Pretty good plot
    - Great characters (BEST GIRL MIA) and decent character design
    - Smooth and buttery animations
    - Average playtime (~10-15hrs) with decent amount of content

    CONS
    - Drags around a bit toward the end.
    - Personally, didn't like the artistic choice.
    - Felt more like a VN(Visual Novel) rather than a sandbox , which was implied in the tags.
    - Kinda felt grindy and annoying throughout the playtime

    One of the best games out there! Fantastic story, smooth animation with sound. Beautiful 3D girl models and best thing is - you don't need to make hard decisions! Linear storyline with tons of porn - made for fapping through the night!

    Its a linear VN, pretending to be sandbox. Seems like it has gameplay mechanics, but you always have only one possible action.

    I hate reading instead of playing. And even more I hate reading about what I already see on the screen, or about "remembering" something that just happened a minute ago.

    The plot is good, but overall volume of text could be 2 times smaller without loosing any important details. Also, most animations are like 2-3 times slower than they sould be. This game pretends to be long with cheap tricks like these.

    The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of good execution and art.

    Not a bad game, but i think its a bit too slow paced and the story isnt too interesting. The character art is OK, but im not a huge fan of the style. Exploration is somehwat interesting. in general, just an OK game. 6.5/10

    Better story than I expected, great graphics and gameplay

    Game was also longer than I expected but that is a good thing, it has a lot of content and not too much grinding. If you feel that it is difficult, use the cheat mod to fastforward to the "good" parts xD

    Completed great games are kind of rare things and I have to give kudos to the developer, this was surely a lot of work but it completely pays off with a final result of this calibre

    Great overall game with a different visual style which caught my attention. Some points about the game:

    - Average but original story. The game story starts really well with mysteries and questions but at the end almost all answer are magic. The game try to justify why the MC has to f*** all time and in my opinion it's a mistake.

    - H-scenes great. I was very suprised about how hot and well done are the scenes, even the first ones, with this visual style. Really really good.

    - Good animation. In this game you have animation in H-scenes and out of them. Both are good enough for the time of the game. It especially shines in creampies, no animations or poor ones in cumshots.

    - The pace of the scenes are a bit high. The game justify it with the girls horniness but it's too much for me (I mean, it's a porn game I know, but if you want to have a harem with 1 scene every 5 min, don't create a complex or serious story)

    - Character design is really good. The girls are so hot and there is much variety.

    - Good sound. Ambient sounds, battle sounds, attacks sounds, moans... nice.

    - Maybe too long. Or the final part of the game (post Norelia) wasn't as good or interesting as the rest of the game.

    From someone who mostly uses the skip button a lot, I didn't even considered it. The story was interesting and it made me care for the characters. Not every one plays adult games like this one for the nut but because if this medium is used right it can create a masterpiece. Not trying to appeal to the woke twitter user or sugar coat anything gives the creator a chance to achieve what AAA games fail at, a true masterpiece like this one.

    Truly sorry for not being able to support you via patreon right now but hopefully by the time "Children of morn" gets completed I will be able to.

    Thank you for showing people what this medium can do if used right!

    MIST is a game that breaks through the average loop of porn games which just have the flimsiest plot as a premise for the porn. While having a poor plot isn't necessarily a bad thing in porn games, ones that break through that mold deserve to be praised. MIST is one of those gems that has an engaging mystery surrounding the crisis that the characters go through as well as great animations for the characters. The story has two modes, one that allows you to basically have infinite food to allow you to focus on the story and girls, with the second having you balance your resource gathering on top of peeling back the mystery. MIST is a great game that should be played by anyone interested in both story and good sex scenes.

    Interesting zombie apocalypse meets cabin in the woods scenario.

    Gameplay: It's a Ren'Py visual novel with survival elements and a toned down horror story premise. The choices are non-existant and often just give a different reply, quests need completion to progress with them and the only thing one could miss is the sex scenes, which might be okay for a pure porn game, but the linearity of it takes a bit off a perfect score. At the beginning it asks if one wants to scavenge or not care about food, yet the option barely matters since without scavenging one cannot progress enough to survive the enemies and bosses. But as such, the poor implementation of map searching and adventure game features actually prevent one from simply skipping the whole game until a sex scene is found, which is always good in my book. (There's porn movies if you simply want to watch animations) All in all, it succeeded at not being grindy and mixing the novel with the genre standard gameplay without taking away from either. 0.8
    Music and Voice Acting: The music is appropriate and it's complete with sound. There's no voice acting but girl appropriate noises and moans are added in scenes. Haven't gotten too much into how royalty free or generic the music is or tried to track their sources since it's good enough I didn't notice much repetition... well, except possibly one track. Due to lack of actual voice acting it gets a 0.8
    Story:
    Interesting story although it becomes a bit over the top towards the end. I kinda dislike there's no hints if the whole world is like that or simply the local area and the fact the girls don't question the harem effect for only a moment to make a joke, yet the lightheartedness works. Considering it's a visual novel and it was made in parts, the fact there's mentions of the early and mid parts and their locations up to the end, helps with consistency. The villain and explanation kinda felt rushed though, so it gets a 0.9
    Graphics: Top of the line though a bit Pixar cartoonish style, but with full animations. Even when talking the the girls actually do have a few movements and facial expressions. Every porn scene is completely animated and for those who dislike waiting, there's always a skip button too, so, can't go above 1.0
    Enjoyment and Scenes: It's difficult to comment more specifically the few flaws it has that I haven't already mentioned, but I did enjoy it all in one hard long sitting. After a few hours, the transitioning animations do start becoming bothersome but the skip button really prevents that from turning into an issue.Even the whipped cream from a huge cock MC syndrome didn't detract after the roughly 10 hours of continuous game-play, and after that long, it didn't feel un-realistic either. 0.9

    Overall Score: 4.4/5 Thus getting a 5 star (1 is minimum, after all, unlike my 0 to 5 score). It has little replayability value but the fact it's fully animated gives this a full on naked seal of approval. The girls a lovable, even though inspired by some popular tropes and the game lighthearted.

    TL;DR: Mist is a beautiful game with an interesting concept. But all that effort is ruined by the terrible writing and the absence of player agency.

    PROS:
    • Nice animations during sex scenes
    • 3D models are refreshing. They are a bit too cartoonish for my taste but it's refreshing
    • Interesting gameplay loop about base-building/survival
    • Interesting setting and sense of mystery
    CONS
    • The writing. Oh my god this is bad. Nothing feels natural, the characters sound like robots, the interactions make no sense. The dev should hire a writer and work on this. The sex scenes are absolutely not exciting because of this.
    • No meaningful choices. I dislike that. I don't want to play a kinetic novel, especially one that's so badly written.

    The game is not so bad but MC is totally stupid!
    He act all the time like a victim not like a guy who have responsability of his house and for the persons they live.
    It has no personality, say yes of all the women saying. Even when the MC can cut a tree in one shot, the woodworker are Mia...

    The game is full of details like this that make me lose the willing suspension of disbelief.

    But the thing that made me give up the game is, when I got to save Lily, the latter comes out with this bullshit of "The world of science can be cruel to... To girls"...

    Ok enough of this feminist nonsense. Bye bye the game.

    ** This review probably has a shitload of things that would be considered spoilers and I don't know exactly what qualifies or how do do the tag thing so don't read if you don't want a few details**

    I wanted to love this game as much as everyone else. I gave it 4 stars because for what it is, it is top tier. I think it was just personally not for me but it was very well crafted.

    The good:
    Beautiful renders. The females are interesting and not repetitive
    The story is really intriguing and the world is well drawn
    The sex scenes are plentiful and graphic.

    The Bad:
    The gameplay is a flimsy excuse to avoid calling this what it is: visual novel. There are no real choices, no real exploration of the environment, no real options and no real gameplay. For example: there is a little mini "fishing" thing you can do. It's literally like "time the arrow to line up with the right spot to catch a fish." Fine, at least there's fun little mini games, right? WRONG. A dyslexic toddler with no fingers could easily click the right timing spot because it takes up half the screen and the arrow moves slowly. And its like that for any type of timing thing. QUICK SHOOT YOUR WEAPON....here's a huge circle on the screen where you have to click but don't worry you have like 10 seconds to click it. Dumb. Missed opportunities all over the place to make this a truly interactive experience. That's what was lacking. The interactive portion was just extra clicks and required no thought. Why even include it? Its like they purposely dumbed everything down to avoid any possibility of failing ANY event. Why? Do people want to play a game where there's no chance to fail? It would be like pac-man without ghosts. What's the point? It removes any meaning to the interactivity and ultimately made me feel very disconnected from the environment and bored. Looking for that code? Don't worry, you don't even need to write it down when you find it. Actually, you don't even need to look for it. Just keep clicking. Make sure you grow crops and go fishing to get food for everyone. Actually, we're just gonna do that for you forget it. I dunno. I expected much more actual gameplay from the way this game was described.

    The Lewdness
    I couldn't get into it. Every girl in this game wants to be demoralized and called names during sex. Its not my thing really. There are a few interactions that are less crass, but a lot of it felt weird. "its my first time, call me a filthy whore and abuse my virgin pussy" just doesn't feel realistic at all. Also...the fact that they kept talking about how his dick smelled was fucking creepy. Don't get me wrong, the animations were very hot but I had to completely ignore the dialogue to enjoy it. He actually uses the term "swampy pussy" at one point. Cringe.

    If you want a visual novel with stunning graphics, a unique apocalypse story, and bunch of (POV ONLY) sex....this is done perfectly. You'll like this if its what you're into.

    One of the best game i've ever played.
    Really good models , the right amount of scenes and great story.
    I recommend this game to everyone who wants somthing entertaining with a good plot and very well written characters in a vast map which really feels like you are into the game. A lot of underground renders are not static but animated which makes this game a lot better than the most of other games

    This is a game that is style over substance, but the style is really amazing and distinctive. If one were to look at the plot on a piece of paper, it doesn't really make any sense, and the details are not exactly clear. However, the presentation is where it stands out. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous and distinctive, especially the sex scenes, and the audio complements the visuals pretty well. The screenshots give a good idea, but it is another thing to see them in-game with the lighting and smooth animations. This game tends to be very good at what it is presenting, with erotic moments having a unique quality that really makes this game stand out, and the tense moments can be quite affecting as well.

    I would recommend playing the game in Feast mode, where you don't have to worry about resource management as much, because the resource gathering's random nature can be frustrating, especially with the restrictions to stamina that affects how much you can do before you have to go home. The gameplay is otherwise pretty good, although it does take getting used to. There seems to be a real effort to make this an actual game, rather than just a visual novel, and it does seem to work for the most part. There are some moments that were greatly frustrating, like having to find and click on a certain part or parts of the screen in order to advance the story, and I was stuck until I did (like having to find certain green plants amongst other green plants, some of which seemed to be at least partially hidden behind the HUD). Otherwise, the gameplay was pretty good, although I recommend saving before the mini-games, in case you can't scroll back.

    If you can be patient through some annoying parts, and can enjoy this game for its parts, it is a gorgeous game that really stands out among the other Ren'Py games that tend to have the same typical visual and game designs.

    I am very pleasantly surprised by Mist.
    I admit I was hesitant about playing this game as the preview artwork did not appeal to me. But it was a slow week and I noticed it was just completed so I decided to give it a try.
    Very good and engaging story. I spent hours playing the game straight thru.
    It's a sandbox but not grindy. The quests were not too difficult (I admit, I cheated). The H scenes were good too.
