    ShamusForSmut

    Shambling through the streets of smut alley sometimes you happen upon those dull gems that you think nothing of, but sometimes something curious catches your attention. Maybe the way it reflected? Maybe the old adage to not judge ever book by it's cover, or every relationship by your ex.

    Well this certainly caught my attention in a way I thought it wouldn't, which ties into my main biases you can keep in mind before going forward. This game in a lot of ways reminds me of sandbox sims that plague many a 2 to 3 star title that I tend to avoid. Not a lot of character at first, slight grinding to a jarring snowball effect of lewd that feels disproportionately paced, and an utter vanilla veneer to top it off. Except, the more you play the more it really isn't sickingly sweet vanilla, there's a couple nuts in there, and the more you play the more you feel as though the dev started to have way more fun than the original premise.

    That was my initial expectations, and with that in mind I'll try and say why I gave it five stars.

    MWNeus, which in it's strange almost media-like titlings, is a game about your mom calling and stating that you're needing grandchildren. You internalize that immediately and luckily, in a perfect world, you've been living with your childhood friend for quite some time, which seems like the perfect way to start a family.

    You try and convince her and she says no, you randomly find a book of spells that can help your tactics of pursasion and go from there. Except is it really your tactics? Or is there maybe more at hand that's guiding your actions? Without spoiling too much sometimes magic goes both ways. Anywho, a lot of these workarounds are occurring due to your friend being a tsundere, but one that is bested by the D you have packing as is the callings of true love.

    Now, for the gameplay, it is pretty cookie cutter. It's your stereotypical renpy sandbox game (damn near mythical to get right); there's very little amount of grind that almost gets forgotten about the more you progress and the game more so turns into a scene grabber alongside personality simulator, as it lends itself to mechanics such as how do you want your childhood friend to be? And this includes the aforementioned power of said spells that almost reminds me of potion game sims where you can have fantastical scenarios suddenly introduced that completely changes the nature of the game. This, even though at first feels like your standard vanilla grind experience that's reminiscent of 2016-18 sandbox sims (sans the grind) has that type of structure. Do this get sex, have repeatables to up variables and unlock further story. What the game does different is the aforementioned spells and changing the entire dynamic of how the sandbox even presents itself, as scenes will get shifted, the home situation as to what locations you have available and it's once repeatable scenes completely changes, and you even have a level up or down spell as to what tier of corruption tier you wanted your friend to be at.

    Not that the corruption in itself feels very well paced, but it's there and has a wide view of where to take it. It's strange, this game at times feels as though it wants you to get past it's boring presentation of progressing through early tier corruption so that you can hit the end tier corruption while basically stretching said end tier a game's worth, as most of the best and longest arcs are basically past all that early tier grinding. And perhaps that's my only quip with this game.

    It's almost like it's trying to trick you in how generic it comes off in the first quarter of the game until you finally unlock the true potential of spells and suddenly it changes drastically in introducing some true esoteric debauchery. You just have to make it past that to actually get what the game is going for, if you end up hating the latter half then you might a well chaulk it. It's hard to explain more without spoiling what is to come and how this game opens up, but think of a very very interactive VN scene grabber. Something I almost shun playing but damn does this game make it work.

    So in that, I feel as though it deserves it a five. It's simple in it's premise but it works so well in exploring where you can take it. So many times many of those long arcs can just end where they are but it really is just stating that yeah, you did it, you made it to the final corruption tier but lets make that corruption ending that actual game now. Hence, the plot justifying all of this serves its purpose, the characters involved are rather endearing, the scenarios hot and somewhat well thought out, and this game truly surprised me in what it's capable of providing.

    5/5, sometimes simple but entertaining is what a evening needs.

    Great model, fine animation.

    The story could be very interesting as the premise of the whole thing is original and unique. The problem is the execution, most likely, due to its length.

    The writing and pacing feels really weird and off, you are just dragged towards the conclusion without any regard to the coherence of the story.

    But again, to end on a good note, all in all, great little game and I would love to see more of that creator.

    Excellent game, good and fluid animations, multi-language, that's a big plus, thanks for that developer.

    Overall, a job well done, without being unnecessarily long, I would always like more from Neus, but it's a good ending.

    I look forward to your next developer project.

    The art is decent, but it's also the only thing that really makes it average. I'm not sure why there's even a story considering how barebones and meh it is.

    Anyways, if you want some scenes to fap to, it's great.If you're looking for any more depth, look further.

    The story and writing while not as good or bad as some say imo, its a bit rough. The theme and concepts behind it are interesting, and it's not some copypasta sandbox.

    I can understand why some give it the high rating, (yandere) but the writing, pacing, and at times some of it feels a "huh... okay" feeling rather than pulling me in, where the pacing is definitely a bit rushed.

    I wouldn't say the game is bad. So I'll drop a 3 star, with the caveat that I'd probably have enjoyed playing several other games on my "to play" list more.

    I love every bit of this little game. 5/5 would recommend.

    When you think it ends there are extra split endings to ending. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

    I hope dev will make a bigger game next time (more girls, places etc) with same quality of crazy story and nice animations.

    Terrible writing. It felt like the developer have never heard how people talk and coexist in real life. If this is how he feels people interact and behave themselves, i pity him.

    Pacing is poor. There is some hidden story that the game simply drops on you in the end with no buildup or hints to it. There is no game to speak of: you click on location and you get two lines of text. Mini-games are actually insulting to a player. The only somewhat redeeming thing are visuals.

    Damn that was good. I loved how there were different paths and you could change path to another so easily. Also was great you could downgrade relationship level. Also really loved how much pregnancy content there was. Hope to see more games like this.

    Loved it! I'm not very good with constructive criticism so i will leave that to those that can! Thank you for creating an amazing game with an interesting story! I look forward to seeing any future projects you get yourself into!

    For those in search of a game containing a main love interest with a big ass and small breasts this is a must try.

    It's also refreshing to see proper pregnancy content instead of just a single frame at the end of the story.

    This game will satisfy anyone on the hunt for proper breeding/pregnancy content and those in support of the itty bitty tittie committee!

    surprised that a complete game just drops here.

    great game.

    completed.
    good model, imo.
    short, simple plot.
    feels like playing one of those dounjinshi plots, which isn't bad in and of itself.
    pretty good imo.

    would recommend, if you like a complete story, good 3d model, childhood friend and ero-manga troupes.

    5 stars imo.

    it's not Fate and it's not trying to be.

    but it's pretty damn good at what it is presenting.

    edit: noticed the steam link. thanks for adding it.
    bought it to support the dev.

    please make more good vn ero games.

    Excellent game. Not excessively long, but a large amount of content. Endings make a difference and content is great quality. I liked the story and enjoyed the surprise toward the end of the main part of the game prior to the endings. One of the best games on the site.

    This is the fantasy, of what a person wants to happen when they stick their dick in crazy. I highly reccomend playing through, even the sandbox. I highly reccomend you remember this won't play out in real life. If she is crazy, run away, like Hermoine from Hogwarts erasing her existence from her parents memory, and be prepared to change your identity multiple times as well as possibly moving into the woods forever.

    One of the better games on this website. Not much corruption in this game per say, but the Quality of the H-scenes are amazing. My only complaint is that this game needs to be longer with more drawn out corruption. Other than that I would give this game a solid 4.5/5.

    Greatest-Produce

    Probably one of my favorite games on this site. It doesn't try to over complicate things with a story and the grinding is minimal. It's just a straight up sex game with a lot of content. Things get very weird in one of the endings but it's well worth it for even more great content. It's a shame we probably won't get more content in this game as it's complete but I hope we get similar content from the author in the future.

    I'm going to keep this update brief since I'm still trying to cope with the schizophrenia this game gave me...

    The Good
    • The plot has some level of structure and tries to tell a rather serious story - that being one of split-personality disorder. Overall, the author does a good enough job with leaving just enough clues for the audience to make an assumption as to what the "twist" is going to be.
    • While some might see this as a negative, I find it highly refreshing the pace at which the dev progresses from one lewd/story scene to the next. Not everything has to be a 10-20 chapter novel to be enjoyable, and in that aspect I feel the dev has succeeded.
    • The lewd scenes are enjoyable enough with properly looped animations. Additionally, the dev also put in the time and effort to differentiate scenes with alternate outfits when he could have easily recycled previous animations.
    • Spoilers ahead for this one...
      • Neus is one of the more in-depth characters I've come across, and it's all the more impressive when the dev manages to implement Lyra - a variation of Neus - who also has similar levels of depth despite essentially being a copy. Not much can be said about Sylvia until she's given more screen time, but it'll be interesting to see how she's developed over time.
      • It was also genuinely surprising seeing that the conlcusion to the story resulted in 4 split paths, 3 of which you can interact with to varying degrees. I will say that the "Normal" ending was a bit of a heartbreak despite the short bit of narration, but with the main theme dealing with personalities and their associated disorders it's unsurprising that this was included as an ending. Thankfully, for those who love Neus, it doesn't seemed to be considered one of the "true" endings as those are reserved for the "obsession" arcs.
    Now onto...

    The Bad
    • The lack of any coherent hair style for Neus genuinely irritated me as she went from medium length hair w/ bangs straight to a super long ponytail. Even more egregious is that fact that the hairstyles change multiple times DURING THE SAME DAY... If you're reading this CLL, I beg of you to just stick with one hairstyle...
    • Despite praising the dev for the generally fast pacing of the story, there are moments where the pace is a bit too fast and you skip the necessary transition dialogue to get from point A to point B. Thankfully there isn't any time travel shenanigans at play here, but it can be a bit disorienting for anyone who fails to make it far enough into the story for all of the intro stuff to make a bit more sense.

    Conclusion
    MWNeus is a textbook example of a "diamond in the rough". There are several areas where it does better than the competition, and just as many where it falls much shorter. However, given the content that's there, it's not hard to understand why it ranks high in most people's opinions despite the shortcomings.



    Who is the target audience?
    Anyone with a pregnancy fetish, or loves the whole split-personality dynamics.


    What is the average length of content?
    I'd say that the whole story and it's endings can rack upwards to 12 hours of actual playtime. It's a ridiclously short VN.

    Is it worth purchasing on Steam?
    Only if it's listed at $5 USD. It's a great first project, but lacks the necessary skill and polish that would justify a listing price of $20 USD (which is where most of these projects seem to fall).



    To CLL directly: You've done a great job with your first project, and I really hope to see you stick around in the AVN scene. I think with a bit more practice and experience that you could quickly rise the ranks of most renowned devs on this site.

    Brainrot: the game

    There's an embarrassingly low bar when it comes to writing for adult games, this one manages to miss it by a mile.

    "I want to have 11 children before your egg factory expires"
    "Mmmm, I don't think i can have that many."
    "I believe in you..."
    "Hmm.."
    It keeps going like that as the brain rot sets in.
    The gameplay mechanics are meaningless, the story makes no sense and the dialogue moves between utter gibberish to weird imitation of humans, and the scenes other reviews kept going on about aren't even good.

    The fact this is rated 4/5 at the time of me writing this is mind boggling.
