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

Lets start by stating how awesome the animations and models in this game, for me it was even better because I really like the stylized type of characters. This was the strong anchor for me throughout the game and what made me finish this lengthy piece.

The story started pretty strong with the mystery, drawing you in and makes you intrigued to find what is going on. On the other hand, sadly, I would say that the writing was mediocre plus.
The characters were introduced one by one, so you had what to wait for which is nice and keeps your retention, but I never saw the character development in the game. As they were introduced, such they were left throughout the game, no new motivations or growth (yea, they took task on themselves etc. but no inner grows or struggles or nothing). The only character I could say went through something was Mia.
There were many cringe moments starting in the last third of the game. I think this is because the game was a success and the developer wanted to keep going so the game was prolonged and needed to be filled with a lot of additional dialogue somehow.

This is another point which I think hurt the game. Its length. At some point, there is no mystery anymore. It is all out there and you are just doing task after task after task to get to some finish line. No new story threads.
In my opinion, 30% of the game could be cut.
Overall the game is pretty good with even somewhat game-play elements to it that contribute to it being more than a bland VN.

An excellent game. The models took a little getting used to, but were still very sexy. Throughout the early-mid game, the storyline is engaging and the cheat mod removes the grind. I confess to losing interest in the later part of the game when it started to really heavily into the fantasy stuff, but considering I normally hate any fantasy/sci-fi in these games it's a testament to how well done this one was that had multiple hours of playtime before I hit that wall.

At first I wasn't exactly sure if I wanted to play this game because of the art. After finishing it I am extremely glad I did. It grew on me and now I am genuinely impressed and also sad because there were a few things I really missed in the game...first thing would be an actual Milf character with huge tits and a truly mature body and face...with this art it would've been very nice. And another thing...well bunch of them and that feels like a huge missed opportunity were more scenes of sex with the enlarged dick. Fucking Mia's asshole with that would've been...godtier.

Otherwise I really enjoyed the game. Just the right ammount of work I had to do before getting to the scenes the scenes were insanely hot characters were interesting and truly diverse...the story was actually worth reading which is at least for me rather rare in porn games. The graphics as I said surprised me and surpassed my expectations. Few grammatical errors but nothing too bad.

All in all absolutely top tier game very few that come at least close to this one and even fewer that are on par on this site. If you can please support the author and definitely check the new project. Thanks for a great game! And I really hope the next one will be as good or even better.

Well written story. Excellent animations. Compelling characters. The only thing that irked me was the amount of time I spent fishing. But the story was so well done I couldn't take off a star for that.

This game has an amazing level of animation, the models are well made with really varied body shapes and each character managed to feel distinct in some way or another. The writing is also good the premise and the way the story advances managed to keep me interested in seeing how it actually resolved and at no point did it felt like a chore to read what the characters where saying.
As for criticism I have to say the game gets grindy at times even when food it's not a problem and combat gets repetitive after a while. At times searching for the right thing to click reminds me of pixel hunting in adventure games. That being said moments like the final battle as well as the base attacks where pretty fun particularly towards the end where you really feel the tension of the situation

This is solid good game for me. Nothing to say anymore just hands down. Since I need to type 200 characters I just write anything to rate this game deserving 5/5 stars.
Characters 5/5
Story 5/5
Models 5/5
Good Game Overall 5/5

First of all, I don't say things like "it was good for a porn game." Don't lower expectations, folks. It doesn't do devs any favors, nor the market.

Alright so the game was good enough to buy it.
Artwork - not bad. I prefer more realism, but this was servicable.
Animations - very good. When married with the art style, probably lowered a notch.
Writing - basic but serviceable.
Characters - none are stand out like some in a Bioware game, but they are cute and you don't mind forming a little game harem with them.
Setting - I like end of world stuff, so this was up my alley.
Combat - very basic. Game would have been the same without it.
Exploration - very basic. Game would have been the same without it. Didn't really add anything.
UI - a bit clunky, but it didn't take forever to figure it out.
Choices... well fairly linear in my experience with regards to story. With regards to sex and the girls, I could have used more choice to be able to avoid things I'm not interested in, like anal and girl-on-girl content.

Overall a good power fantasy with a harem setup. Devs, shoot for this quality as the bare minimum or starting point, in my humble opinion.

Ok, I think all the reviewer before me speak for themselves. this game is good, very good.
This is a VN with few choices that have no impact on the outcome of the game. but I liked it a lot for that reason.
The Dev has a story they wanted to tell and told it, and it was good.
Play it! you won't be disappointed. XXX

Very good game. Graphics wise, story and enviroment! And its kinda of diferente from what everyone else is doing which is a same cause i really like this kind of graphics. I just hope that this developer and eventually others kept producing games like this one and not robot woman faces like 90% of the games out there..Good Job!

You can fish and hunt in the game. Automatic five stars. No, but seriously, I can tell a lot of love and care went into this game and it definitely pays off. On the surface, Mist rubs off as one of those games where sex takes priority over a well-developed plot and characters, but surprisingly it is somewhat able to manage all three pretty well. Just don't expect a Nolan or Scorsese level plot!

This game have potential the character feel alive and story very interesting, very good quality scene and option to choose , combat and leveling quite simple , and i was hope i can F the boss lol , definitely will buy game on steam

really fun game and very well made, gotta congratulate whoever made this because I dont write ratings and this one me write one, congratulations, not only is it a good porngame, it is a good game in general

This game is... something special all right. Just astounding levels of quality across the board. The atmosphere alone is oozing with mysticism and creepiness, and in some places can get really dark, but never crossing that faint line into the territory of amateurish cheesiness.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: The art-style. I didn't have any problems with it at first, it is, in my opinion, very unique and vibrant, and fits the game like a glove. The first girl, Robin, looks very cute and detailed: She is rendered extremely well, her expressions are lively, her skin is of a pleasant warm color, she has adorable freckles, gorgeous blue eyes, though the hair can look plasticky at times, but the feeling fades really quick. All in all, i really like how the author made her look, big fan. My problems with the art start with a second heroine, Mia.
Mia's appearance is... well, it almost looks like she came from a different game, if you put her and Robin side-to-side. The art-style felt that varied. She is a lot more pale, she looks like she was rendered in a rush, with a bit of blurriness around her, where Robin is very sharp and defined. Mia's facial structure and expressions also clash with the first heroine, leaving a constant feeling of not quite belonging here. Her hair looks more realistic than Robin as well - still a bit plastic, but it's part of the style i already embraced by that point. Her body is detailed well enough and is pleasing to the eye, no problems there, but the overall look felt a bit off. It was jarring for the first few hours, i got used to it and it stopped bothering me, but first impression was not that great. I won't dive deep into other girls (not on this site, at least, wink-wink), but there is nothing to worry about in terms of their looks.

As for the writing, while i wouldn't call it stellar, is way, way above a porn game. There were some moments where it falls a bit flat or short, but they are few and far in-between. As i said, the atmosphere is phenomenal, horror segments are written and presented expertly, and the world itself just pulls you in, making the player want to explore it and learn about it by himself , which is an incredible feat to pull off.
I have a little bit less praise for the writing of characters, some of the conflicts and transformations resolve and happen way too quickly. Honestly, I'd prefer if the heroines were less horny, at least at the start, because the way some events transpire got a good ol'l chuckle out of me, and made me go "Ah, right. It's a porn game, i forgot". But it's just a sign of how well the rest of the game is made, i can count on fingers of one hand when an adult game made me forgot that there is, in fact, porn in it, and not just the plot and deep character development and interactions.

Now, since we are on the topic of porn, how is it? Well, i was amazed, right from the first scenes. Animations are smooth and done incredibly well, some of them felt really sensual, which is not something i feel very often. The dialogue and inner thoughts of participants do get a bit corny, but in this game it somehow works and serves as a great fuel for those who appreciate verbal stimulation. Variety and the amount of sex scenes is great, though i miss the really expressive and intricately animated cumming scenes present in the very first ones. Those are just top-shelf stuff I've never seen anywhere else.

Now, the gameplay. I was worried that the game will be a "hard survival" game, but it really isn't. I played on scavenge mode, and never, ever had any trouble. Fighting is simple, hunger has a very generous deadline, resource scavenging can be a bit tedious though, but luckily you always have something to do while it happens.
Also cannot praise the quest journal enough, more games should have such straightforward and clear instructions in case the player is lost.

To put my review to a close - I'd say that this is one of the best adult games i've ever played, and the first one i wrote a decent-sized review on. I was just that much impressed. Never heard about the developer before, but now will eagerly follow their work whenever i can. After all, i want to know what else these magicians can conjure up, because their first show i saw left me completely enchanted and eager for more.

Amazing game!

First of all, the animation might not be for all, but i loved it and it was a nice change.

The girls look amazing and natural! The didnt have a huge weird tits or ass, but a more common and so beautiful build. The characters had enough changes between them- small boobs (its so rare in games, seriously!), big boobs, small ass, big ass. eye colors and so on.

As a bit of a coward this game was fine for me horror wise, so take into consideration.

I loved the balance between the horny, the plot, the horror, and the grinding which was really good. BTW you can choose from the beginning how much of surviving you would want.

The plot was interesting with a few surprises and i didnt even feel the time passing.


The animation of the sex stuff was also great.
First, even after cumming you can keep on watching.
There are enough angles and lots of different sex stuff (hj,bj,missionary,doggy,anal) from the loving and curious to the hard-brutal stuff but in a good way.

Gotta say the boobs and pussy art is exactly my taste and the girls were so beautiful!

So to conclude- Excellent!!!
Thank you developer for sharing this gem and i hope for the best for you in the future.

The best porn game ive ever played. The gameplay was simple but good, the story was very well written especially in comparison to other porn games, the animations and sound design was/were on spot and the music was absolutely perfect.

MIST was a massive surprise for me. The mystery aspect of the game persists throughout. I was on edge until the very end, well after all the lore had been discovered. The characters and the relationships they form also really endeared me. I loved the way they would banter with each other, much effort was put into making them believable. The fantastic writing is also what made the sex scenes much more pleasant than they would have been otherwise. Congratulations to the developer for making one of the best 3D-style games in the genre.

Alot better than I expected. The art style took a while for me to get around but I love the game overall. Great characters and excellent atmosphere. Really helped me feel the tension and the stakes which in turn made me surprisingly invested in the characters and story.

I seriously wanted to enjoy this game but GOD the writing is just awful. This game is clearly trying to be more than a standard visual novel and I commend that but the writing is just so laughably bad, the main character is a weirdo, the first girl you meet has practically no character, the way sex comes up is extremely forced, the characters reacting to the Mist is so underwhelming, and the writing itself is so stilted and unnatural that its hard to even view the characters as humans sometimes.

The only reason this is average for me is that the dev is clearly trying for something unique (and god knows the H game genre is full of cookie-cutter shit). To start, the models are different, not necessarily great but it's a welcome change of pace from the usual. Then there's the gameplay loop where you start the day, do an expedition for food/resources/story, come home, and progress a relationship. This is honestly kinda refreshing because the grind isn't too bad and its a nice change of pace from talking with your cardboard roommates. Another thing I thought was cool was that the dev actually put in cutscenes and transitions that, while a little wonky sometimes are at least cool and do a good job of differentiating the game from other static visual novel experiences.

Finally, I would say that there really isn't much in the way of choices in the game, it's pretty linear and your character isn't very customizable.


TLDR: I think Mist is a game with a lot of ambition and unique qualities. It should be given a shot if you don't care much about writing quality, but dear lord if you want good writing then just skip this, the presentation doesn't make up for it, it just reminds you of the potential the game had.

(Version reviewed: 1.0.3 Completed)

The "back of the box" blurb from me would probably read something along the lines of "A very varied and compelling game with a captivating story, heavily recommended."

But let's see what we have here: you are on your way to an old abandoned family hut when a strange weather phenomenon (kind of a mist, who'd have thought) occurs, but you make it to the hut. Shortly thereafter you hear a scream and find a girl outside, trying to fend off some human-shaped but inhuman creature. You help her and take her in. Together, you are trying to find out what happened, how to take down the strange creatures (not too far removed in behavior from zombies, but through all kinds of species) which appeared, how to create a sustainable life at least for the moment. You explore your surroundings, collect food and other resources, find more survivors and so forth.

Let's start with the stuff that is easy to explain: the graphics you see in the preview pictures. It surely is a rare style on these pages, not entirely unique but not seen that often, which you need to like. I happen to do so. The animations during the game are of great quality, smooth and long, and not only used for some (inevitable) sexy time but also to set the mood while exploring, a big plus making the whole experience pretty rounded. There will obviously be horror elements, so if you do not like blood on your screen, that might be a problem - the game however will warn you before jump scares or similar happen and allow you to skip. A small break in your entrancement but certainly worth it for many.

The music is pretty good in supporting the different moods and unobtrusive, which is how it should be during gameplay.

The writing is to be commended as well, the overall story is interesting - and I like if there is something that keeps you going apart from hunting down skirts - the flow of sentences is generally good (a hiccup here and there), and typos or wrong homophones are few and far between.

The UI is very workable for me in general, the quest log is good enough that you will not need an external walkthrough or mods here, mini games are mostly well explained or intuitive. At critical points with a possible to likely game over the game will also warn you to save.

Some minor quibbles though: the exploring part in many places gives you different options on where to go next, but is always oriented away from your point of origin, not from where you just came from. So when you take three steps out, then turn back, you need to hit the "back" button further instead of going the new forward. Which might be the intuitive way for some but wasn't for me. However it is nothing major, and soon you will know your forest well enough to quickly get to where you want to (except for some encounters you'll have to settle while doing so). The second quibble would be the equipment screen which is overblown, offering a gazillion slots for weapons which you will not even use to 10%. The third is the - otherwise very comfortable - gallery unfortunately giving a story plot twist away - not the exact twist but that something will happen during "the last mission", since there are way too many still locked scenes.

Now for the most complex part, the gameplay. While using a basic sandbox setup (with two phases, day and evening/night only) I would argue it isn't a real box. There is not much variation in how you can approach tasks in different ways, day will always be exploring and resources, night will continue the girls stories. It however has strong management elements in that you need to sometimes keep the main story on a backseat so you can gather needed resources, what people call "grind" but it never felt "grindy" to me.

There is a simple turn based combat element when you encounter the creatures called "shadows" but interesting enough, you'll have to manage your health, your stamina (ability to do certain actions), your ammunition, and your "corruption by the mist" (technically the last part is different but this way it probably is more understandable if you haven't played the game). After a bit you'll know your moves well enough, and surprise, surprise, once you got good gear and have leveled up your stats, it will become easy peasy and you'll CTRL skip through it.

There are a couple of different mini games for fishing, sneaking past enemies, climbing a slippery surface and so forth. This might be a problem for some, however I found them to be very fairly explained and easy enough. As actually the whole difficulty is pretty easy in my eyes, so don't be afraid of "management", "mini games" and so forth, even if it's not your forte you will probably manage pretty well. One of the sneaking minigames however is quite lengthy - not a problem as such, since I was completely immersed in the athmosphere, but when I failed the boss battle afterwards, I had to redo it and it was a bit too long then. So save often, guys. Though it was only this one (and final) battle I really struggled with, the difficulty spike was pretty heavy here, admittedly also because the best strategy was very different from how I normally handle such situations in games, so I had to rethink what I did.

The lewds as such are nicely done, a bit of variation, good dirty talk, as already said high quality animations. Everything is a bit heavy on showing your load blown, especially creampie lovers will have a field day, however even though I am one myself I thought it was a bit too much at times.

So basically a compelling story, a very adapt handling, and a nice variability of gameplay styles (though it has to be mentioned that in parts it feels like a kinetic novel, even if you click certain actions there are no alternatives for you to do). I had a blast with this game and can only recommend it. And no, I am generally not a fan of horror/zombie genre stuff.

Some issues I personally had are for one that during the last phase of the game - way after I turned all available girls into my happy harem - I wanted to see how the story continues but all the "unnecessary sex scenes" got a bit in the way, since they didn't really offer anything new. Another thing is that part of the girls' stories are told by meeting up with them in specific places in the evening (bath, living room, outside stargazing) however without any prompt when new ones appear, making you check regularily. They are not required to complete the game or watch the scenes but somewhat important for the whole mood so this can be a bit annoying. The last thing bothering me is the ending - to be fair that may be very personal. After the one twist the ending was pretty much what I expected but also feared, since I see a couple of logical problems with it. I have to admit however that it is very well made and I enjoyed and appreciated the fun and love that went into it, it certainly isn't just another "and they did fuck until they died". Just the content wasn't what I hoped for. But I invite everybody to check out for themselves whether they agree or disagree, at least the road there is rewarding enough.

Surprisingly good doesn't do it justice

Many times games that try to integrate grinding mechanics, they do it to extend the playtime, this is surprisingly well paced so that the scaling of your abilities and resource collection is more or less synchronized with the time that you are out of content. It has a pretty good gameplay loop outside of the smut, if it was a non-H game it would be at least an interesting experiment

The 3D models are pleasing and have an interesting and distinctive look. Much more than the models themselves the game excels with its animations especially during the sex scenes. Sex scenes have subtle variations during the same scene that make it much more interesting, bodies deform and interact in realistic ways and there are many small touches, the kind of which you know were not necessary but make the scenes much more satisfying

5/5 you should play it
