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

One of the best games I've played in a long time. Story, animations, gameplay were all solid. Can't really think of any cons. The game could use a few improvements, like a second proofreader to catch anything the first guy missed. The models could look better, at least in the faces, but I kinda like the unique art style and the fluidity of the animations. Oh I did have one con, moneyshots were lacking in most scenes, for someone packing serious heat, you'd expect Peter North caliber cumshots and that just wasn't the case. Aside from the aftermath scenes, which were great, when the mc busts, it's like the shameful dribbles of an amateur pre-ejaculator, with a bad prostate.

All in all a great game

I'm not sure how to put this into words really so I'm just going to stick with the core thoughts I've got on this one.

1. This is a damn good game.
2. Myst was the first game I love the styling that the devs have gone with.
3. Dear lord is the scenario wonderfully written.
4. One of the best post apocalypse games I've played even outside the smut category.
5. Can't wait for the next update.

The most cinematic game made with ren'py to date. Super atmospheric, the story is compelling and the sex is great. The gameplay elements are also fairly engaging, so far I haven't felt like anything is too grindy at all. The content is fed at a consistent pace, render quality is amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

This game is better than it should be.

The story is original, well laid out and engaging. The dialogue is solid, clear, straightforward and -when it needs to be- sexy. The art, setting, and animations are unique and very well done. As the game has moved along, the gameplay and UI have improved tremendously, and the plot is actually driven forward by the setting rather than the women.

The story really drives this game if you're into that. These devs know what the fuck they're doing. Give this game a chance and support these guys.

PROS:

+Superb characters and design. There are only three main characters in the version (v0.4a) i played in so far, yet their depth and genuineness already put other games' characters to shame. Beautifully designed characters both in terms of characteristics and design.
+Incredible storytelling. In the game, your objective is very straightforward... Survive. The story only revolves on this very direct objective, and yet you will find yourself indulging on it. The premise is simple but the problems and encounters you will face make the story exciting and intriguing.
+Good soundtrack. There's only a handful of BGM and SFX but it's enough to make the experience thrilling.
+Adult scenes are UNBELIEVABLE. Let's be honest, this is what we're all after... ALL ADULT SCENES ARE ANIMATED. And i mean all of it. Even the "pulling-out" . I cannot bring into words what the developer has made, so i highly suggest you play the game and see it for yourself. Easily one of the best 3D animations for an adult game out there.
+Amazing gameplay. This isn't your generic Ren'Py adult game where you just click between Choice A or Choice B... The game has combat!
+If you're looking for a well-deserved awaited wank, after investing time in story/characters playing, this game is for you

CONS:

-The game is a grindy, but ONLY at the start. It gets easier later on. (This point is only here just so people will know that there will be a bit of grinding)
-Exploring places can be tiresome. There's only an interactive map for the house. There's none when you're exploring. There will be a lot of clicking on arrows to navigate around; and the game being focused on gathering and exploring, it makes the exploration a chore to deal with.
-If you're looking for a quick wank, this game isn't for you

This game keeps on deflecting cliches. I expect the game to be generic on many aspects, but it keeps shutting those expectations down. At first i thought the MC will be your generic lucky harem protagonist with a pinch of magic dust, 5 grams of wimpy bratty attitude, and a tablespoon of rape-y behavior; but instead i got a fairly competent albeit still virgin-like MC who just got pushed into a situation out of his capabilities (?) and now are forced to deal with it. Then i thought the first girl will be your generic bimbo who will deny your advances for 7 lines of dialogue and will then proceed to suck your dick just because of m'story; but instead i got a sassy yet capable girl who later on becomes integral on the survival of the party.

Expectation subversion aside, we're all here because it is an adult game. And boy oh boy... It is JUST that. It's not a visual novel, its an actual game; and the adult scenes are really SUPERB.

10/10 Will overlook the smell of iron just to play this game. You should play it, don't you MIST the chance

I`ve played this game for a few hors now, and I`m really intrigued!

Love the characters, love how the story progresses, and love the general goofyness of the game

Well balanced and easily enjoyed on "normal"

It is easily one of the best titles I have played this year. At first I feared the comic style head models would turn me off but the overall graphic quality and animations is very good and has a nice balance to it.

The game also has a great balance between grind and progress and the overall progression speed is quiet enjoyable. I had only minor "I wish I had known that before" moments and they were not game breaking at all.

The story is nothing revolutionary new and seems to borrow from different movies/games/genres but it is solid in its own way. It kept me interested without skipping too much. As for the two existing main characters: They are as interesting and fun. At least as much as you can expect from the genre.

There is already a lot of scenes and animations in version v0.4a and a lot to come.

review as for V0.4a
One of the few games that has a legit good premise, intrigue, character and world building right from the start. Creator managed to set the tone and atmosphere right from the main menu. From warm hearth in your small cottage to dread and dreary of the forest, each area of the map managed to capture it's distinct feel.

Resource management seem to be more simple and stream line as you progress more, it becomes more easy to manage.

unlike other games where players gets bombarded with tutorials mist takes its time to teach each of its mechanics making players easy to retain all the information in due time.

Despite their cartoonish looks girls seems to have character depth and personality than most of the Hollywood movies as of late. very few adult games that made me care for the characters in their stories and this game managed to make player care for them greatly.

If i have any gripe that would be in some angles characters seem to have this uncanny valley dead eye effect . but its a minor gripe nonetheless.

Highly recommended game !!

Great game so far.

Characters are interesting - decent dialogue, relationships don't seem forced, models are pretty solid.

Gameplay is good. Combat/foraging/levelup mechanics are simple, it was a good call to introduce them one at a time instead of throwing the player through a single tutorial showcasing all of them. The sex scenes are well done too, not over the top (or clearly made by someone who doesn't really know much about how sex works).

The story is what makes this game memorable compared to the dozens of games with shitty stories on here. The plot is fun, the goal of making it a mystery/thriller style game is really cool and the level of suspense is managed really well.

Only bug I encountered with the game was that while training stamina, the keyboard controls don't work. I'm playing on a chromebook but it didn't recognize the key inputs.

In future updates I hope to see the casual dialogue change as character relationships progress (the chat option when interacting with them). It was kind of weird that the option to chat about college gave the same dialogue at the start of the game as the end.

Believe it or not I am old enough to remember playing Myst...I think it was the first game I ever played. This game is similar in how you move around and it is also similar in other ways. There is a mystery to be solved (though no real puzzles like Myst had), and there are gorgeous, willing girls to have sex with just like in Myst (just kidding). I played v0.4a through to the stopping point. Here are my positives and negatives.

Positives:

1. Once you get used to the mechanics it is very nicely streamlined and easy to use.
2. If you don't mind the somewhat "cartoon" look of the females (and I didn't) they are nicely rendered.
3. The sound is done well overall.
4. The relationship building with the girls is nicely done, as is the evolution of intimacy.
5. The mystery plot is interesting.

Negatives:

1. Sex talk. This is the opposite of romantic, and I just think with the quality story and the well crafted personalities of the characters it is disappointing that the dialogue during sex is straight out of a bad porn vid. Don't make me care about these girls and then during sex talk to them like objects or cheap whores. You can still have sexy dialogue without sounding so degrading.
2. Money shots. Again, like a porn vid where we have to watch cum pouring out of pussies...even zooming in and focusing on the cum dribbling out. I'd much prefer sexy eroticism to these gynecological closeups.
3. Obvious typos like life/live etc. There are not too many but they really stand out because most other dialogue is well done.

Just my opinion, but I feel that this has the potential to be a great erotic game. The mystery story, the quality renders, and the sexy companions really appeal to me. I just could do without the debasing dialogue during the sex scenes.

Damn Great game. Especilly so with somewhat deep and original plot and funny moments. All packed without bugs and nice story. Start is slow but after some time it picks up a pace. Besides that in renp'y save editor you can change your stats like energy and life. So it will be even faster start without breaking the game. Which is something nice to know about.

Best parts of this game in my taste?

Original style and characters. Fully animated sex scenes which are really nice to see.
One part that could be better is that we should be able to choose positions and actions in said animations. For now we got linear action without much to choose from.

What it lacks the most? Updates and patreons. Let the dev do his work in peace without worrying about bills to pay.

Yeah so I thought this was just gonna be a generic zombie porn game but the more I play it, the more I'm really enjoying it. The story is actually gripping and I forget its a porn game sometimes. 0.4 was probably the best update so far and I think it only gets better from here

WOW Simply wow!

This game is really awesome!

For a 0.4 it's already good with a lot of content.

For the rating:

- The story is amazing, the author didn't fall for the zombie apo classic but a full mystery story. That's a really good setup and the progression is slow but steady! I love it.

- The gameplay: Exploration, little grind, strategy and planning... all is my kind of stuff and that's pretty "easy" to manage and quite well done. May be some things to improve here and here but that's really not a bother or an hinder!

- The graphics (and sex part): Yeah that's a little mix for me. Altogether, great stuff especially the movies; the forest, the scenes! BUT there's always a but ^^ The girls are cartoonish yeah... all the rest is pretty realist and they are not but really not... I'm not concerned personally but people can and i saw reviews that pointed out. But when you are accustomed to the style, you appreciate it. Btw the moral thing and the setup for harem is really really well though! Congrats, it's not simple sex but clever one, cause you need to. And for the harem stuff is too quick for me to come up but it is quite well written.

So a 5 stars for people like me who enjoy that "sims" like characters and probably a 4 star for people that don't.

Only slight suggestions of non-native writing / proofreading slips, but an interesting and well-realized setting with writing that really comes together after the intro. There's a bit of RNG in the forest exploration encounters, but not overly much, and it has good direction of what to do next. The graphics, as well as animations, are more supplementary than the story, but they're consistent. A very solid option!

A hidden gem in this site. Has tremendous potential. But it's also one of those games that have clear pros and cons.

Pros: The story is very well written (clearly inspired from Stephen King novel) but the execution is really well done. The animations are also fluid especially the environment interactions. Has good amount of content with reasonable grind.

Cons: The only reason I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 are the sex scenes and character models. The character models are good but appear really fake against the realistic background (still doesn't hamper the overall experience). And the sex scenes are not versatile and don't match the narration. The build up to the sex scenes are immense while the scenes themselves fade in comparison. For example, the MC and FMC get really horny and plan to fuck all night (quote-pound really hard-unquote).They have been planning for this all day. The scene ends up with a single pose at slow pace. Even if the later sex scenes (after the initial animations) are just still images but are shown in alternative poses, that will greatly contribute to the narration and the experience. Also replayability could greatly enhance the game. Some of the one time scenes are really good and could be set up as random encounters in bedroom or in the garden, eg. Robin blindfolded waiting for MC in his room or Robin horny after working in the garden. Just a few lines of codes but small things like that are what makes a good game great.

My biggest review so far only because of how good the game is. Good luck to the dev!

My type of game, i really like it. Great quality renders, the girls are cuties, i loved the animations, and im intrigued about the story, the mist and its "monsters".

I kinda found it "easy" for me, but what can i say, i play alot of RPG's and MOBAS like league etc so it makes easier.

Easily one of the best porn games I've ever played.
Animations are incredible.
Renders are good and the art style is unique.
The actual gameplay is fun.
The story is interesting.
This is how a sandbox/rpg should be done.
Dev isn't a native English speaker so my only real gripe is some dialogue just doesn't sound like how a native English speaker would speak, but it really doesn't take away from the overall experience.

The dev also works his ass off and is constantly improving/listening to feedback. You guys should support 395, he's a solid dude.

First of all, this game has the best story line and graphics(of Ren'py games) that i've seen! Awesome job dev!
The only bad thing for me is the fact that Robin has no other expression than perverse smile while being fucked for the 1st time? Pls make it so we can see her pleasure during intercourse, it would make the game very life-like and even more amazing!

Really impressive game, nice job! Well written, but not overwritten. Better than most games calling themselves visual novels in fact. Characters with actual personalities and backstories. The photos on here don't do the game art justice by the way. Looks way better in the actual game. The way the story progresses is believable and the 'interactions' with the characters fit them well. This is the biggest compliment I can give - the women actually act like women, not just some teenage fantasy of what men wish women were like. They actually have turn ons that women in the real world have. And this is the first time I've played a game like this where the creator understands that women can want to be treated one way during sex, but not all the damn time. It's a refreshing change from just ridiculous things like "Oh I'm not like most girls, I never really talk about myself, I'm really turned on by guys that play video games and don't respect me tee hee". In fact I feel like that stereotype gets turned on its head a little, without giving anything away. It feels lazy to me when games just arrange events so that women characters who "aren't that kind of girl" usually just end up "giving in" based on circumstances because secretly they wanted it all along despite being adamant they didn't at first . The mythical woman that is prepared to change their entire personality to fit what the man wants them to be. Always struck me as kind of lazy, and part of the whole "rape myth" thing in stories that I find super uncomfortable. I'd rather games just made it clear it was non-consensual. That grey area bothers me way more because it implies its okay. . It feels like you're actively trying to show that for what it is here. There's a point where the story kind of says "yeah, you're aware of how that would make a woman feel right? Are you sure that's what you want? ". It's fits in nicely with the MC being young and inexperienced. All you have at that point is what you see on TV, and hear from (equally inexperienced) friends that pretty much amounts to " just choose any woman and convince her to like you, even if you have to pretend to be something you're not". You end up acting like a real jerk sometimes, because you think it's how you're supposed to act. So for me anyway, the way the MC's character develops totally makes sense. Hopefully it gets people to question if that's really what they want, or how they would act IRL. I know the arguement is usually "but this is supposed to be a fantasy!". I dunno, personally i don't subscribe to the whole "man, I wish I was the sort of douchebag that treated women like garbage, then I would get all the ass I want!" fantasy.

It's clear to me that it was made by someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but respects their audience. Really impressed and looking forward to more. On that topic, I like the way you're doing updates so it's finished up to the point in the story you're up to, like chapters. No "content coming soon", which is really appreciated.

I know it sounds like I'm reviewing a novel here, but I figure since you clearly take this seriously I may as well show you the same courtesy.

Bit of constructive feedback: I noticed a couple of people complaining about the food grind. I think that's kind of unfair personally, as it's really only like that at the start, and it makes the payoff from finding better sources of food better anyway. A lot of it is solved by exploring, which is kind of what I expect from this kind of game. But I did get a bit frustrated at one point, because it felt like I'd done everything I could but couldn't progress. Eventually realised it was because I (trying to avoid spoilers here) got a better weapon, but didn't realise I needed to equip it. That might just be me being dense, I kind of just assumed I would use the new one automatically. Maybe you could add a "do you want to equip it now?" dialogue, or telegraph that you need to equip it before you can use it. It isn't obvious from the icons during battles that you're still using the old one. Also one of the weapons (think you know which one) I assumed I needed to find ammo for, didn't realise it was available straight away. Might even be worth making it clear that you can use it once per expedition. I assumed but I did wonder if I could only use it once, period. But those are minor criticisms and I got there in the end!

Please keep those updates coming!

[v0.3.2 review]

It's a nice game. Unique and hot art. Compelling story.

Positives:
Unique and quite hot art style. Good writing. The mystery and exploration elements are handled really well. A lot of it reminds me of a sexier version of the TV series "Lost". Decently challenging combat.

Negatives:
Gathering food can get a little repetitive at times. There's quite a lot of going through the same cycles every day, but not enough to be really off-putting.
It also feels kinda wrong that the first sexual encounters with the blonde are a bit coerced. It's like she'd rather not do those things at all, but does them anyway out of obligation or gratitude to the MC. It gets better later but coercing/pressuring girls into doing things they don't want to do feels really wrong to me and isn't hot at all. Is it really that hard to write a story about real attraction that springs up naturally? The author seems otherwise capable so I don't really get this at all.

All in all it's still a really nice little gem of a game and I do recommend you try it!
