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

CAUTION - SPOILERS
A very good game which could be an exellent one.
The beginning of the game was the most promising start I have ever seen for a project period. Original but beatiful art, simple(if a bit flat) yet attractive characters, and the best part of the story - mystery elemens that elevated the game from a porn to an exciting game in itself. But as the time passed and the story developed, I believe that the quality of the mystery in the story dropped significantly, and this decreased the quality of the experience. You start of in a familiar world suddenly turned alien because of the strange mist, where strange and dangerous monsters roam, and this ends with you brawling it one-on-one with a disney villain with a personality of a cardboard. Why is he evil? Why do they want to take over the world?
And the ending was not what I expected as well. Seriously, you just stay in your cabin? What the hell happened to the rest of the world? Is the humanity doomed? Why is nobody addressing it? Hey, at least you have a pregnant harem I guess. Shame you five are the literally only remaining humans on the planet!
So in the end, a good game, but the main element of the story, mystery, didn't have a satisfying payoff.

Final Version - No Spoilers

This was a great game. It took a little while to get into at first because there didn't seem to be harmony between the serious story being told and the lighthearted interactions with the first female character. Everything settles into place eventually, and for the majority of the game, the tone is more serious - thus, the story is more believable - than not.

The gameplay combined with the storytelling to make a surprisingly enthralling experience. Not all of your time will be spent advancing the story, but I disagree with other reviewers who call this a grindy game. I went out of my way to overpower my character because I always wanted to be prepared for the next event to come, but the game is designed so that you can slowly progress through the story while simultaneously pursuing other events in the main hub. Those events include things like romantic events and conversations with the characters to learn more about their backgrounds.

The girls themselves were pretty good characters individually, but once the harem was fully assembled, they all behaved too similarly. Like someone else remarked, I also began to speed through their sex scenes in the latter half of the game.

Overall, this is a fun game with an engrossing story. The visuals are remarkable all throughout, and it's clear that so much time was spent on making interesting maps for exploration. The pacing towards the end is screwed up, and the final events don't live up to the excitement from earlier on, but this is still a game worth playing and finishing.

Well, my expectations were pretty high and it delivered... kind of.

At first, I was fascinated by the setting. The development was good and the gameplay was quite fun, but it turned a bit repetitive and sometimes grindy.
The story turned up way deeper and more emotion thatn I thought of, which was a huge surprise.
The art style is very unique and enjoyable, but I will have a complain about it later on.

However, sadly there isn't as much horror as I thought there was going to.
The lewd was the biggest disappointment though. It was very boring and simple on 90% of the times, and made worse by the art style, which didn't quite become a turn on for me.

I hope the devs will develop further on this idea, and hopefully we will see more horror games in the AVN world. And also, hopefully more devs will take gameplay/world building mechanics like these and push forward with them.

Gameplay: 5/5, the combat was interesting and even the stealth mechanics were done really well. while it's not my favorite gameplay loop within the sandbox genre, it's the best within it's own self contained world and makes thematic sense. I did get lost when the tunnels came up a bit but that's due to exhaustion more than anything.

Story: 5/5. I came here to fap and was pleasantly suprised by the stories depth and dark themes. sometimes I felt that it was being dragged on but the payoff was always and I mean this with my soul, always worth it. the moments where it drags out a bit long fit thematically and work so well once you get to the payoff that it's incredible.

Art: 5/5, phenomenal art style. reminds me of overwatch mixed with it's own unique spin. the best part is that the quality is consistent, the models don't suddenly become 4k out of nowhere, the animations don't suddenly get way better they are consistently good. the only thing that did irk me was the cum animations being a little inconsistent, the curse overlay seeming flat and the male model not fitting the style.

Characters: 5/5, I'm not going to go into each individual character since theres 600+ other reviews that probably do. Long story short, phenomenal characters, with most of them having great development. I wish we got a little more depth and exploration into 2 girls but I still absolutely enjoyed them all and feel additional scenes would've hurt the games pacing.

Overall: 5/5, the world, story, characters developments is all so well done. the story even closes so well I'm actually shocked since I expected some Ren'Py trash and got gold. This is the H-Game that everyone should experience if even slightly interested.

Excellent plot and dialogues, good graphics and usability and to put a small downside, little to do at the beginning of the story.
I would have liked if all the human girls had ended up with some kind of scar for the final fight.

Close to perfect porn game for me. i wish i can support you for making a lot of games like this. Gameplay was fun for a time so next game you will make have to be diffren or more advance. More surving elements could be good i think. Thanks for the game.

Gameplay 4/5 Story 3/5 Writing 4/5 Animation 5/5..

Good game mechanics, but they become very repetitive early in the game and there's no change while you progress with the story. Very engaging story, unique and captivating, but a little bit too extensive. The game felt just a little bit too big, story-wise. The design choice for the characters and the game is quite unique, with some flaws where and there it may be a little difficult for some to get used to it, but once you do, you'll enjoy it even more. Sex scenes are well paced with good art and details and, most important, super lewd.

[After playing v.1.0.3]

Overall is a good game and that includes it's one of those that actually have some gaming elements there that are not just story choices (getting food, tools, fighting...) while still being mostly a VN.

The graphics are good, the gaming elements are mostly right, the feeling of darkness and the awe for discovering new places and abilities, and the characters are nice too. I just think storywise I got a bit tired of it (it easily won't happen to you and it happened to me quite late in the game
I still highly recommend it and think is one of the best, I'm completely looking forward for the next project of 395games and I hope you don't get the same problem I got there, I just thought it was honest to tell it as it is a really high-scored game (totally deserved) so in case you didn't get the same feeling you don't think you're alone there.

Its a good mostly vanilla-ish harem game, love the paranormal/supernatural aspect of it.

BUT, it is basically a kinetic novel, it would be cool if there were different endings, or some of the girls and also being able to pick your wife.

The Girls:

Noreia is the most interesting girl here and the one with the hottest body, I wished she wouldve gotten more scenes with more kinks though, she is mostly a vanilla girl. <----- Best Girl

Robin is up there with Noreia and probably the most beautiful girl out ouf the 4, if the game let you pick what girl to romance and what not, she and Noreia would probably be the "canon" ones.

Lily is okay, but the whole dynamic between the brothers, is kinda just.... not that deep?, it goes from I shouldnt be thinking about her like this to doing sexual stuff with her without giving MC an option or have him work for it, afterall, she shouldve beeen the hardest girl to romance being that she is literally MC's sister and an awkward girl.

Mia.... I.... didn't really like her, she is really useful almost to the point of seeming like a mary sue character and overshadowing the other girls both in scenes and doing things for the group, leaving that aside she is also not that good looking compared to the other girls. (Sorry Mia fans)


Overall the game would have been better if it let the player have a choice in everything, girls, scenes, consequences for doing something wrong without a game over, and of course, having multiple endings.

good:
unique art style instead of the same model packs you see everywhere

bad:
the grind. oh the grind. even if playing in "feast" mode where you do not need to worry about food, you will be grinding constantly. annoying fights without much difference. lots of waiting for tasks to complete.

just so grindy

No perverted or illegal stuff, good graphics and animations, GREAT story and character development. It is not perfect, like s, but will be a while until another one this good comes out.

Story is pretty decent but it lacks choices, its just the standard shitty 100% linear sandox type wth no freedom, your forced to follow the set questlines and you dont even have an option in what MC does with the girls, i had hoped you could skip shit with girls if you dont like em but no, first girl MC meets and he turns into a pervert, first thing he comes up with "you can sleep with me in my bed" i mean really? like 20 seconds after meeting her? then he gets her shirt wet and MC starts touching her? what is this a b-porn movie? its idiotic.


For me the story and the writing means everything for a game, its what makes or breaks a game.

I did like the sandbox part and staying alive idea.

But i am not a fan of how MC acts mostly around the girls, he turns into a 15 year old virgin in hes thoughts, i mean he gets a hug from hes sister who has all her clothes on while hes sitting in a torture room waiting to get hes balls smashed with a hammer and yet he gets a boner, gimme a break....its to stupid.
He also tries to be a male dom which absolutly fails and dosent suit him at all compared to how he normaly acts.

For me it just ruins the game when the text is so cringy, when its leading up to a sex scene and doing the scene, its like there is no passion or feelings, it might as well be a visit to the local brothel...it gets so bad that when it starts i can only think "oh not again" and want to fast skip past it.
Its also bad that the so called first virgin scene still shows up every now and then and MC still say "isent this your first time" even after you fucked her 50 times, should have been a one time scene not a repeat.

The hole sister crap i also find pretty stupid, i mean MC constantly thinks he dont want to fuck her, then he wants to, then not....same over and over, even when she is about to suck hes dick he tells her no bad idea and to stop it multiple times but she refuse to, which in its own right is a form for rape, no means no....of cause MC could just stop her if he really wanted to, which makes it even more stupid that he constantly thinks it a bad idea and illigal and so on....just goes on for waaay to long, all the way back to where he found her first, also you have to use incest patch or it simply just dosent make sense in the text with the sister.

Story 2/5
Main was fine but gets ruined by poor writing when leading up to sex scenes and doing sex scenes its just to cringy and the lack of choices and freedom kills it as well.

Sandbox 2/5
I enjoyed the sanbox aspect of the game or should say the survival part of it, since i dident like the linear part one bit, it ruins the game.

Graphics: 4/5
I am not really into the cartoon like style of the faces, but that a side the rest looks good.

Animations: 5/5
I really liked the animations both in sex scenes and the small ones doing story, some of the best ive seen in a long time if you remove the crazy sound effects, but dident like when MC cums since it looks like glue coming out of a bottle, it just looks very worng.

Music/effects: 2/5
It just dident do much for me, its not all bad but it also could have been better to create moods in scenes, doing sex scenes its just really bad it sounds like your fucking a pool of slime its just way to much.

Played version, 1.0.3 to the end and with all content, but without the I-patch.

Summary (With a few soft spoilers?): An apocalyptic event befalls the world following a series of mixed scientific and occult experiments. This is however unknown to us for most of the games duration. Clearly inspired by its movie namesake, a mist suddenly appears and changes the order of the world. MC is joined by a single girl in his mountainside cabin, where they now enter a phase of simple resource based apocalyptic survival. New heroines join the cast and the resource gathering takes a back seat to the exploration of what happened to the world and the increasingly active conflict with a hostile otherworldy entity. MC also learns to use the magic that is now part of the world order. The aphrodisiac effect of certain enviromental objects and MCs status as the allegedly last male alive are the driving force behind the H content. The positive counterpart of the hostile being joins our group of survivors as a “divine” demi-human woman and shortly after the cabin is abandoned in a big battle. After some hiding out in the upper mountains, our group takes the fight to the big bad after which we get our epilogue content.

Pros:
- A narrative that is moderately complex but handled well and with good pacing. Likely the result of using a small tight cast and simply prioritizing story and narrative over “lewd content at any cost”.
- Characters that are good or at least decent on their own and react sensibly to the situation they are in.
- Most 3D environments feel alive and not barren or cheap, with a few exceptions. We occasionally get short sequences with the camera flying around and showing things in real-time and not just standstills.
- H scene animations are very smooth; the loops have a completely natural flow and good transitions. “Liquids” look decent. Most climaxes have muscle spasms that look realistic and not over the top. Very hot.

Mehs or Hit/Miss:

- Dialogue during H scenes are somewhat mixed. Generally speaking, I would say they are mostly good or great in the first half of the game, but become predominantly porny or cringe in the latter half. Enough so that they belong in the MEH category.
- While not as bad as the text during the actual H scenes, the dialogue leading up to them sometimes have this uncanny feeling about them. Maybe a result of being writing by a non-anglophone who is good at grammar, but still lacks the ability to make speech sound natural during more “sensitive” scenes.
- A few inconsistencies or just unanswered questions left by the end.
Should the mist disappear at some point? Can it be reversed somehow? If females didn’t turn in the initial mist wave, then why did all the lights that Noriera saw get extinguished? Did it only show males for some reason? If the 3 human girls survived, why did Noriera only see 1 light (MC) when she woke up? And a few other questions.
- Not the most interesting MC to be honest, but not offensive on any fronts except for the cringy dialogue in the late-game H scenes.
- Some people have named the style of the 3D models used as a their personal dealbreaker. The faces in particular seems to be the issue. I personally found the style a little grating in the very beginning, but later on I liked it for being something different from the usual HS, KK and Daz assets seen elsewhere. For me, it’s a pro, but I admit that it will be a turnoff for many, thus categorizing it as Hit/Miss.

Cons:
- I didn’t like the level design in the more urban sections. Didn’t seem at all like the major city that was described in the text.
- The cabin was the central hub for the duration of the game, yet the interior and exterior assets were highly inconsistent with one another.
- The raft construction at the end didn’t make a lot of sense to me. Why not just scout along the creek on foot? It should have been a waste because going upstream in an upper mountain creek should be impossible using an improvised raft and just paddles.
- Without the I-patch the development of the relationship with Lily didn’t make much sense. MC in particular was way to adamant about not progressing things because they were childhood friends.

Great story
Unique model design, which takes some getting used to but is really hot after 1-2hours.
Combat is somewhat unnecessary, you should just play on easy and enjoy the story
Still overall one of the best games on here

An interesting game with good survival mechanics. It's amazing how the developer was able to execute it on such a game engine. Models of female characters are made above all praise. Thanks to the developer for the game and success in the new project.

Played it about a year ago, finally came back to go through and finish off the completed version. Well worth it.

Sexy survival horror is the best way to put it. You play as the last man on Earth and begin by stumbling upon what might be the last woman. Your goal is to survive long enough to enjoy that, and maybe find some other survivors...

This is very much a plot and character based game. We don't choose how the characters develop but we do play out tasks in order to develop the relationship. While your woman stays to tend to the home, you head out into the unknown to do turn-based combat, explore, and gather food.

The need to explore typically sets the pace for the stat growth and so there's little need to ever do a pure grind: your stats will comfortably get to where you need them through a playthrough so long as you aren't attempted to speedrun it, and the availability of food is enough even if you don't choose the starting option to begin the game with a huge supply.

Without spoiling anything non-obvious, you'll meet a handful of people along the way that add to your home in the apocalypse. Each one has a unique character, an actual background, and their differing attitudes add flavour to both the game and the smut. There are no passive-actors and they all play a key role in the story.

As for the plot itself, it's not too light, not too dense. There's happenings, there's a clear quest line, and the goal is always survival. My only caveat here would be that the sex is something that develops, and this isn't a game focused all on the action. If you're someone who just likes to hit skip and get to the good stuff then this isn't the game for you. More like the game is light-hearted but wants you to have some investment in the girls.

As for criticism, if I were speaking personally then the sex is a bit vanilla and too "nicey nice" but it's pretty good. The characters overall are a bit too nice in fact. There's never any real tension between them in spite of the severity of their situation. I won't spoil the ending, but I would've liked a bit more of a victory lap. The game allows you to continue in case you missed any minor scenes but it would've been nice if there were maybe a new conversation or two. I also think the cum animations were pretty meh.

Overall though, I like to give positive reviews to games that get completed and never show a dip in quality. You're not going to get to the end and feel like the dev started to phone it in or stretch the game out. Equal parts sexy and charming, with a hint of horror.

This game has a post-apocalypic setting, but its characters are quite cheerful and likable. That, along with the lite-RPG game mechanics made for a fun playthrough.

I liked the art for being somewhat cartoonish despite being 3D. It's definitely much better than the awful Daz3D models that most 3DCG games use. On top of that, the animations are of great quality.

Although the game is obviously good, for some reason I had to force myself to finish it. Maybe it's the artstyle or just a lot of talking... But objectively the plot is interesting, original, and non-trivial, which is why I was hooked. The gameplay is ok, but I advise to play on the lowest game difficulty. The graphics is not my cup of tee, but is original and quite good, even with animations. All in all, a good game, try it out for yourself.

Great characters and story, and the progression is straight forward. It plays like the old Mist games, basically explore until you run out of energy/fight to many enemies. There's quality animations and different focuses for each character you get with so it works really well.

Very few sexual visual novel type of games grab me but this one I was hooked from the start right to the very end. I felt the progression was well executed and never felt too grindy.

Good story and graphics. I was very immersed. There's few grammar and typo mistakes in the dialogue but it was never too distracting but far, far better than a lot of other games out there.

Great sex scenes too - all animated!
