VN - Ren'Py - My Dorm [v0.28.4 S4 Ch.1] [Tropecita Games]

The game is decent, but I want to give 4 stars just for how great the dev is, listens to feedback, posts consistent updates and has demonstrated their talent.

Now coming back to the game, this is the type of game a lot of people will like, good diversity of characters and even looks. Somewhat of a slow burn but with good pacing. Nice renders and decent animations. The scene writing is also very good, and has just the right length to engage you. It seems to have almost everything.

My issue is that there really is no hook apart from the girls and their looks. There is no stakes anywhere. I am generally not a big fan of slice of life, but I can appreciate it if I have something to look forward to. Here I have nothing to hook me on the game except for the fact that I might get to bang some of the girls in the future. And the girls are not so amazing for that to be enough.

Good game for those that look for something lighthearted with good visuals and scenes and a harem, but not for me.

I would rate that 3 1/2 if I could. It is not bad, and I believe many people would like it, but it doesn't work very well for me. There are a lot of pretty women and there's the not-so-rare issue of everyone wanting the MC for a long time and all. The quality of the images and animations is good and there's enough spicy content coming regularly.

So, why it doesn't work that well for me? In short, the game tries to do too much and often fails.
- Too many characters = too much going on and I struggle to remember who is who. There are half a dozen women interested about the MC in the prologue. I find myself skipping parts of the dialogue of less interesting girls often because the cast is big.
- The changelong at some point rights: More words than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yeah, that's another problem. The game is too wordy. In HP the plot and characters move much faster.

And yet, the art is good, the developer updates often and I like many of the girls. So 4/5 from me.

I've been enjoying this game. The story line though not the most captivating has given the player enough choices to keep things lively and entertaining. The ladies and graphics look good and the discipline of the MC is on par for a character that most guys wish they could be. Looking forward to future updates.

It's a generally good game. Dialogs drag out sometimes, gotta beat that dead horse into the ground, eh. But what killed this for me was the stiff, unnatural animations. Pivoting on ridiculous pivot points, parts of the body waving around that make NO sense, either aesthetically OR from a standpoint of physics. Bodies don't move that way. Combine that with the fact I find foreskins revolting, and this thing focuses on it All the Fucking Time, skipping forward to miss it just means I'm missing most of the game anyway, so I'm out. Though is was the disjointed and stiff animations that put me off more, thatt was just the skin-icing on the cake. Most will like this, I suspect. Even moreso if he can deal with the jankass animations.

Another harem / incest game, nothing too special about it. Looks and performs okay. The renders need a lot more polish and so do the animations, there are times that you can see the granulation in the renders, I think that's maybe because they are compressed, so a higher resolution version would improve this. The story is not at all that interesting. The only girl I liked was the aunt, the others don't look as good sadly. Couldn't really fap to this.

However I wish the dev good luck with the future of the game.

In this game you end in a big house with a bunch of hotties of different couleur, having an intimate relationship with every single of them + some girls outside of it. (Literally. So far i didn't found a female NPC that hasn't sooner or later the UI overlay asking you for adding them to your harem over them)
I don't think, that's a bad concept, however. Even if it's not that much innovative, it checks out. It's lighthearted and makes fun to play.

What's really, really well done is the pacing. It's more a slow-burner, but with definitive results down the road. But most of the females don't be a fuck-on-sight-event and also important, don't always accept the harem position instantly (but shortly later).

Also a big pro are the visuals. It's not perfect, but the female characters have believable proportions, are pretty/hot and half of the time, their faces are looking natural (the other half, they do grimaces out of a horror movie).
The backgrounds/environment are well done and good detailed, which improves everything. And it's one of the rare games, where you sometimes sleep with a blanket. So far great compliment for the details.
On the other hand, it's unfortunately another one of those games, where the creator couldn't resist to make MCs package as huge and long as the polygons allow. *Sigh*, i don't get it. Not only it looks just weird and like a satirical joke this way, also you practically destroy so much options for renders and animations, which is likely the reason why the author manically tries to avoid blowjob scenes. However how the girls react to the big schlong is maybe a quarter of the plot.

That leads to the more annoying part: the character, you're playing and how the creator decided the sex shall be orchestrated. MC is basically the absolute white knight, the born satfizer, always ready to help. Even if he cheats on one of the girls or seduces his stepmother or -aunt, it's done only with the best in mind ("to make them happy") and so on. I mean it's not that bad as a baseline for an adult game and I cannot put directly a finger on it, but somehow it feels a too much.
Like MC always goes full cunni on every women he can find (leading to really much closeup pussy scenes, where you find out, that every cunt looks like the others), but if they want to return the favor, he be like "Oh no! Don't do that please. I don't want you to do this."
I can't count how often one of the girls comes around trying to get finally fucked by you and you basically tell them everytime, "that they're not ready yet".

Anyway. The sex scenes are okay overall. The girls cum alot, the player sometimes. The animations are ... there and besides being always simple boomerang effects, it's better than having none.
Also big compliment for the buildup of the intimate scenes. There is no sexual content, without the characters getting in the right atmosphere beforehand and the sex itself contains the right length. This is really well done in the most cases.

Overall, i would say it's a good game, which lets not much to complain about. Except the MC, that is a complete facepalm, if you ask me. From the design of his tool up to the way too much caring attitude.

I rarely give reviews, probably being too lazy, but a few games are so good that I sometimes do, and this one definitely deserve the attention. The story seems simple but is very well developed to captivate the players, and extremely well served by high quality renders. Some may say that there may be some grinding, but it does build up the flesh of the story with a large variety of characters, all very attractive and sexy in one form or another. As I write this review I have played 3 nights in a row, reaching day 6, and eager to progress in the game. Thank you and well done for the development team.

Rating: 4 - Version: 0.8.1

I really enjoyed this game so far. The animations could be better but there is a lot of quality content in this version already. I'm really excited to see where some of these paths go.

I've seen some people suggest this is a kinetic novel which just isn't true. Your choices DO MATTER. You can definitely close off certain avenues if you don't play your cards right, but this game is definitely best played as a harem in my opinion (which I believe it was intended). Overall, a lot of potential and a good start.

Can't fault anything else here except the amount of sillyness, for what it's worth the models are unique and hella gorgeous & inclusive of every spectrum out there. The story however hints about cleaning the mess his father/step created also setting along his career with freshly outta graduation. MC does feels odd though look wise, but animations are slick, hopefully story picks up the speed, i think the problem with silly interactions is that if the story occupies good chunk of an update wrt dialogues and interactions same amount of sillyness will come down.
Incest vn slaps different when emotions and that uneasy yet most comforting feeling between the said characters palpates as one continue to play also without need of having to read if anyone had any prior things et al every time they interact, that's really not needed tbh. Cheers, i have faith in you guys.

One of my top 3 fav AVNs. Great storytelling and excellent graphics. Updates have been released regularly as promised. It has one of the hottest and most realistic MILF in any game. Yes, I'm a big Martha fan. Not one of those bimbo-fied MILFs you see in most games. Definitely worth trying for anyone who has not yet.

Interesting story with some funny aspects, well written. Not too much typos and misspelling. Good work in my opinion. You also can rename the characters, a function which I love.
And really nice, beautiful, cute and lovely girls too !
IMO Worth a try !
I'm really looking forward to the next update.

this "game" isnt a game, it is kinetic novel masked as a visual novel.

mc does have some choices here or there (peep on her, knock on the door or not etc) yet where it matters the most (choice of ladies) he has no choices at all.
it is kinda like "here we go lads, you see this "hottie" (obviously all chicks in porn games have to be hot, and mc has to say or think that, obviously), now we have to fuck her, include her into our harem-to-be, and she is perfectly fine, because she (and every other chick in this game) like to share me".

if you are up for harem power fantasy (as (too) many other games with similar concept have) you will enjoy this project, no doubt, as many of those reviews are already pointing that out.

otherwise if you are for a meaningful story and mcs/players right to choose or not chicks he wanna to engage with, you will be disappointed and you should look elsewhere.

two stars is about right rating, perhaps even too generous - it has some hot chicks, while it lacks decent story, choices and almost everything else.

I really liked it

The characters, the story, the animations, everything has been incredible.

I wish I could enjoy the updates very soon

The plot and the mystery are on the right track, there is still much to discover

So far it's interesting (day 7 content)
It reminds me of the "Grandma's House" but with less content and a some sсi-fi back story, that was not developed yet ,
As pluses I should mention dialogs and graphics, renders look really god. Also the number of the girls involved, till this moment it's around 10 and according to the story the developer can introduce around 10 easily.
As a minor minus - its a straight visual novel, there are few choices, most of them are to prompt if you want to pursue a relationships with a girl or not.
From my point of view it's a solid 4.5/5 plus 0.5 for frequent updates.
A separate thanks to the author of the thread for mentioning the date of the update in the change log.
Definitely will wait for the next update to se how the story develops.

I love this, was genuinely disappointed when I reached the end of the update cos I wanted more lol, one of the very few VN where I actually like every single character and MC is no pussy.
Story is kind of mediocre but if you read through it certain interesting plot points turn up. Renders are amazing but animation could use a bit more fluidity, but no real complaints in that department.
Sex scenes are pretty vanilla and no forced kinks or anything like that, something I'm thankful for
All in all I'm going to see this one through to the end

I like the game,

the story writing is quite good. sometimes its a bit frustrating how the girls are just desperate to drop on him but still dont

Graphics 4/5: they are good enough.
Writing 5/5:
Story 4/5: I would expect the Mc to be more active, maybe allow for a more evil path, and harem path where he is more in control

Looking out for the next update!

[Rev @ My Dorm v0.7A]

Nice~

Art's nice. Bit of taterface but nothing horrible.

Writing is fine; narrative wanders quite a bit but I'm all for wandering if it means more romance. Fluency is well done and readable. Scenario is Yet Another Mom + 2 Hot Sisters section 12b: Plenty of Others, but that hasn't ever stopped me from partaking.

Nothing in the porn squicked me. Tags are promising, but as of this release nothing goes far enough yet.

TLDR: Yep, watched~

I love this game. I can say that along with "Grandma's House" is one of my favorites. They are similar in many things,but yet very different.
Pretty often updates,light story,no big dramas. A lot of different personalities,girls (with students arriving).
Plenty of humor(everybody saw MC's dick already,lol),story unique.
Renders are great,both milfs attractive,younger ones not so much for my taste,but plenty on the way.
With harem picking up the numbers already,the future is bright.
I wish MC is moving around more,discovering more new different girls,but what he has in house,can't blame him. They all see heroe and savior in him and they won't let him breathe,haha. Wondering how pregnancy will be affecting the story and relations.
Keep up the great work, Tropecita Games

I really like how this is one of the few games where the MC says "fuck it I'm gonna do my harem like it or not" and the girls are in a battle royale, unlike most harems where the MC is a pussy that takes up to 75% of the history to realize the shit he's doing and all the women accept each other instantly

Game itself needs to work on overlay and menu issues, apart on some animations being on loop instead of being an actual fluid animation but this is mostly due to being a partially new game, so it's alright for now, props for not giving all the girls the bread and butter models, funny story, overall pretty good game so far.

Renders are very good, there is a storyline emerging and the MC has to work hard to get the girls as they don't just flop onto their backs with their legs open. At time a little too much text but then again, he is taking the trouble to explain the plot. Looking out for the next update!
