VN - Ren'Py - My Dorm [v0.24.0 S3 Ch.4] [Tropecita Games]

The story is pretty good and fairly original as well. Most of the models are alright, when they don't have any particular facial expression at least, when they try to look a certain way they become grotesque. The biggest problem I have is the language used. I'll provide some examples to illustrate my point:

The lack of gracility in the impalement... (the word gracility does not mean what the dev/translator think it does).

I want to eat your lipstick (who in their right mind want to eat lipstick?)

This time I can undress you, with calm (Slowly or taking my time would be how a normal human would say it).

There are A LOT of instances where the English just feels so unnatural imo.

If you don't mind something that is written like it's an AI trying to impersonate a human, this is the game for you. With better writing I would have given this game 3.5/5, now it's more like 2.5/5.

Kind of a definite 3 star game, if you ask me. I don't have a lot to say about it, because there isn't a lot that stands out. Girls: ok. Girl diversity: good. sex scenes: ok. plot: not good. number of girls: waay too high. There isn't anything terribly wrong with it, but there isn't anything that would make me want to finish the game.

Beautiful game. It quickly became one of my favorites. I like the models and also the fact that there is a little bit of everything. The skinny and the fat, the busty and the flat, the young and the old, etc. The story is not particularly heavy. There is no exaggerated drama. There's a little bit of everything--a little bit of drama, a little bit of mystery, a little bit of adventure, etc., but no one aspect becomes predominant. The really predominant thing is the interpersonal relationships between the various characters, and these are very nice and result in a lot of exciting if not overwhelming moments. The thing I liked least about this game are the animations, which I find adequate but nothing more. The two things I liked best were the soundtrack, especially in the first season (maybe in the other two there were copyright issues?) and especially the gallery. I have never seen a gallery like that. It doesn't point to the animations. It's not just a collection of videos. The gallery points to the beginning of the exciting situations I mentioned earlier. Truly outstanding.

A pretty good harem game, very attractive women, some nice romantic moments, virgin girls, incest, it has it all while letting you avoid kinks you might not like, such as lesbianism.

I got to say I didnt particularly like the last women that were introduced and even though I could reject them it really losing on so much content with 4 was a bit disappointing, but I guess it is better than being forced into it.

Anyway, it is 4.5 Id say, great for harem fans

i m not sure if i can leave review
i played S1 long time ago and S2 recently
Honestly this game is pretty solid
There is a walkthru mode that let you know what you are even selecting
3D models looks okey, at least you can tell girl A from girl B eventually
Game is a bit disconnected from reality, you can kind of cheat on the girls, but also can't at the same time, i m not exactly sure how being seen sexing other girl affect the story
you can chose to be dominant in some interactions and avoid stupid kinks that are not for me

Game is finite (this is mostly a plus)
and replaying it feels very stale (this is mostly a minus)
Honestly i had some fun with it, would prefer girl customization beyond cheat menu asking if i get girl A pregnant or told her about girl B or told her i wanna fuck her... solid 8/10 mostly bcs its big game with a lot of things

Up to MyDorm-v0.20.1-S2C8-pc

Its the try to compensate lack of lewd and sexual fantasy/imagination with loads of characters thrown at the MC to fuck. And when I say fuck, its all plain vanilla! It gets so boring very fast. The teasing of anal and the 2 anal (plug) scenes is not realy worth mentioning. Lactation is merely teased. The squirting ist passing by fast and the cream looks like plastic. It feels all so dead and atifical never natural, the lewd scenes are mostly repetative and all screams lack of a perverts imagination but of the pope lecturing about sexual intercourse in a harem.

What I liked was the incest or the family relationships, wich in the end I realized kept me going because of expectations to see them realy realy come to life but never do, because - lack of imaginative writing skill and sexual perversion - .
It becomes a huge dissapointment at the start of Chapter 2 as one finaly realizes: there will never be more than what were already there in C1. And C1 was only a tease. This VN nowhere in the lewd scenes goes all the way, its so boring!

And yes there was a plot, I lost because I got to remember who was who and what/why 20 woman ...

Still I recommend it... as it is a tease to waste your time.

Graphics: 4/5
Writing: 3/5
Plot: 1/5
Lewd: 1/5
Audio: yes

Final verdict: not fuckable if your in for kink; but vanilla

One of the best VN's I've played in the last twelve month The story line is a bit of a push, but few if any are "believable" renders are very well done and refreshing to actually see a vast selection of body types

Cute girls, each one with her own personality, tastes and fears. It may not be the game with the deepest story but I like the situations around each girl and the interactions between them.
So, as I said, it may not be the deepest game, but if you want a cute game with a well written story to enjoy and pass the time, I think this game is great

Honestly the scenes and the renders are top notch. If you're looking for something to fap to then this is a 5/5 guaranteed.
It's a fuck fest. MC fucks literally all of the girls. If they show a hint of jealousy he tells them if they don't like it then they can bounce. Then they proceed to bounce on his dick anyways.
While there is a somewhat interesting background story involving mega corporations and elite assassin ass kicking clones, which MC also fucks, the updates are pretty constant but also very small.
I've become very bored with this story because it takes forever to progress. All of the girls are either pregnant or trying to become so. Maybe I'm just tired of the same old tired ass incest stories. But this is one of the better ones. The animations also improve drastically as the updates move forward so that's fuel for the fappers.

Just Completed Season 1 - Overall I like the My Dorm setup of Girls and (2) Mothers in particularly. I have enjoy getting to know each of the Girls

Pros:
1. BEAUTIFUL Renders of the Girls and Enviroments including the Stills Rendering of Lewd Scenes.
2. I like the Story about getting to know the Girls and Helping them in Various Situations they encounter and being A Loving Big Brother to all of them
3. The Different Women that we Meet in the Game all have varied backgrounds and different stories. I found them to be Very Belivable and Genuine
4. Fun Parties, Opportunities to play the Hero and The Over-Arching Story is a bit of mystery as well.
5. I LOVE the New Students (Particullarly, Debbie) in the house at the End of Season 1 really added to the enjoyment (and MC's Juggling Ability...lol)
6. Currently recording and playing for 2nd Time, Season 1 is really Shining now

Cons
1. Animations
A. Too Short in duration with 2 Second loops - They need to be lengthen to at least 10 - 15 Second Loops and Slower, More Sensual
B. Have Glitches in the the actual Animations some Uncanny Valley feeling.

2. Too Many Words - Dev You need to reduce the number of words significantly and move the ACTION Along. A Lot less talk and More Action!
3. MC lectures TOO much and is too Prudish at times. Too many times he is pointing is finger at girls.
4. More Player Agency by adding more choices and Less of the MC making Choices for Us.

I hope you will look at this and implement them because I have Overall enjoyed the Story and Premise of "My Dorm"

Thank you for Your Hard Work Tropecita and Keep Going! 5/5

SEASON 2 REVIEW (COMPLETED)

LOVING It and the evolution of the Main Story is VERY Good and integration of the many Girls is WELL Done!
Fun times on the Beach.

An AMAZING Nite-Out with One of My Favorite and Most Incrediblly Intelligent of the Girls. Delicious and HOT Scene with Her that was Really Well Done from Start to Finish.

Fantastic fun with D&D Session and some HOT Hot Tub action ;P

Looking forward to more of Season 3
5/5

I started this game by chance, I had mixed feelings at first because some things bothered me morally. In fact for a while I had the unpleasant impression of having an MC acting like a former Ayatollah and building a harem as was done in the past. Fortunately, by continuing the game this feeling went away.

Unlike others I must say that I appreciated this AVN more from the end of season 1. The third part being a little too short.

I wonder if at some point the Family will run out of space because there are so many girls but I must say that I am now impatient to see the rest.

The characters are good, the MC's direct family is very well done and we get attached to the LI because they are really well done. Special mention for Eileen who is magnificent, and Maddison who I also find superb. Grand prize for ZEUS BRAVO! by far one of the best moments and I really hope to see her again in the rest of this AVN

4.8/5 stars, rounded up since 4 is too low.
Character designs are actually REALLY good and also varied which i find important.
This is one of maybe 5 games that I've played from here that actually made me literally laugh out loud at some of the funny parts.
The character writing is solid with decent variety to personalities.
I am sincerely looking forward to updates and will likely find my way to the paid method to support the dev.
Most of the time I can say "X is best girl, Y is second best" type thing. Not here! I have like a 6 way tie because each of my favs are there for different reasons.

tldr; top tier game, play immediately.

Finally finished Season 2. I loved it, more character bonding. Hope to see more Kim content.

Each character has a unique thing about them, its sweet. I say there's something for almost everyone.

Looking forward to starting Season 3 and more content moving forward.

So much fun! Can't wait for new content. Can't decide my favorite between the sister or goth cousin... I'm a little worried that we'll get so few scenes with the "main" girls with a whole load of new ones coming soon. But I'm curious to see how wide a variety the girls could be.

[SPOILER FREE]

You know, I was THIS close to give this game five stars. But updates after updates, I had to lower it to three because of some reasons. Before that, I’m going to give some positivity of this game. It has good graphics, not the best but they’re still good to look at. Sex animations are not that janky and robotic, it’s actually pretty great and almost flawless. The story is also quite interesting, even if there’s a little nonsense here and there. There’s also plenty of girls you can chase around, this might sounds like a plus for some people, but to me it’s like a double edge sword.

Alright, here comes the negative ones. My Dorm is perhaps one of those very rare games where sandbox actually would’ve worked better instead of using a typical VN progression. Remember what I said about “multiple girls”? yeah since this game isn’t a sandbox, it lacks of personal progression of each girls because you need to keep the main story going and going, and what makes it worse, it lacks of intimate moments with them. Season 1 was GOATed, Season 2 was alright, until midway of the season. Since that, it just goes downhill. If this game was a sandbox, it wouldn’t be much of a problem at all.

Another problem is the MC’s age. He should’ve been around 24 when it comes to his face, so using a mature model would justify the whole thing. Graduating from college at 24 isn’t that uncommon in real life, you know?

Last but not least, playing this game with the incest patch is a MUST. Not because I love incest or something, but without it the main story doesn’t make any sense. Also, Emma is one of the most beautiful girls I've seen in any adult games so it's a huge point and kudos to Tropecita.

EDIT: One more thing that I forgot to add in my initial review. Trope95 if you see this, please add more quality times with the girls instead of going around back and forth about acquiring the company. It's getting more and more tiresome since it's been the main topic for a few episodes.

very nice realization, no unnecessary drama or padding / lengths. amazing redheads, and a few nice lingerie/glamour scenes.
original 'family relations' take, one can play as vanilla or as... alabama as one want. all girls are optional too.
good amount of content, numerous animations increasing immersion - even if the foreground ones are often playing too fast for my taste, making it impossible to appreciate all the details of the renders.

I loved the game when it started, the girls look great, there's barely any unattractive women at all (except for those older ones, just not my cup of tea).

Problem is, there's too many of them.
First, six relatives and a friend.
Then there's two in his friend's family, exgf, singer, salesgirl, cop, and two more who are watching this building. Fifteen total.
Then there arrive four students, the fifth person and grandma. Twenty.
And then there are some more girls I have no idea who they are since I got tired of trying to play and just checked the pictures.

To make the matters worse, now there's long talking with barely any plot movement or hot scenes at all. At this point there are so many women and the game is so diluted that now the content for specific girls is added in homeopathic doses.
I really liked Emma, but after it started raining women, there were how many scenes with her in Season 2 (eight updates)? One or two? Can't remember.

Also, the number of renders/still images in each updates is a joke. Wow, 1937 still images in the update! You can just divide it by three, because there are so many pictures that are just variations of the same:
1) Person with eyes open (*a.jpg),
2) Person with eyes half-closed (*b.jpg),
3) Person with eyes closed (*c.jpg).

UPD: Since the offended dev calls me a liar with bad maths, here's the maths:
Update 17: 1168 blinking images (*b.*, *c.*) out of total 1599 still images. 1168/1599=0.616 (62% of junk renders)
Update 18: 789 out of total 1293. 789/1293=0.61 (61%)
Update 19: 1168 out of total 1915. 1168/1915=0.61 (61%)
Update 20: 908 out of total 1532. 908/1532=0.593 (59%)
Update 21: 1015 out of total 1690. 1015/1690=0.601 (60%)
Dividing by three equals to removal of 66.6%, which is pretty close to the results.

The game is quite good, the animation are really good. There are a lot of characters and most of them are quite attractive. There are good choices of kinks and general corruption of the girls is as well really good. Big dislike is about horible long conversation and too much side story. Maybe someone like it, but this just calls for skipping.

I do love this game. It has excellent graphics and really beautiful girls. Nice animations. No need to think too much how realistic it is - a harem of 15+ girls and growing - but the story is at least stringent and the characters have their unique habits.
Only boring part was the extensive DnD-session without connection to the story. But all in all excellent.
