Ren'Py - My Fluffy Neighbor [v1.5.1] [Invisible Cactus]

Models are good. Some of the dialogue is a bit.. meandering. But the story is well told, and pretty hot. It basically delivers a huge amount of variety, loads of anthro characters of all types and sizes getting fucked.

Would be nice to see a bit more variation in the sex scenes, but I really like the design overall.

Also the village, while lovely, always seems empty when you walk around.

I apologize in advance for my poor knowledge of English.

This is my first comment, I really liked this game, it has a seasoned visual style, a good musical atmosphere, and detailed scenes.

But the Russian localization is slightly incorrect, sometimes when talking to the main character, you can address him as a woman, and in a couple of dialogues, the ending of words is incorrect.

There is a slight error after talking to Hazel in the church, when we talk to Amber, her dialog box may change to Hazel

well i will give same criticism as before with Hazel scene in her laboratory, there is no need for 3 options when the image we get is the same, i know AI is tough in making exactly what you want it to make but i would appreciate more if there would be some different variations even if different from each other than just options with text

the title feels wrong, instead of "neighbor" it should be "neighbors" or just make change the title to "Oakridge" because we are allowed to fuck every girl in the game, it would feel better as harem game not romance game where u wanna focus ur feelings on one girl, it feels like cactus cant decide in between do we wanna experience true love of our life and stay loyal to her or do we wanna to fuck whole village? neither romance players will like that or harem players
Lily telling us we are special to her and then allowing to fuck everyone else feels wrong, girlfriend my ass thats just fuck buddy like Amber, no delusional name calling will ever change who you are when you know the person more from what they do not what they say they do

the story is still too much sugar, including Bree in story was out of place and feels like mistake, her getting kicked to Amber house on second night is sole proof, fucking homeless girl after taking her in... in the story that should be sweet and lovely but it just feels wrong... idk, she dont have option to turn down sex either like other characters

i hoped cactus will do some changes but he is moving with the game as the previous updates, which is fine artist should have creative freedom but players have freedom of liking or disliking

Some nice images ruined by a total overload of useless dialogue, the narrator telling you the floor is cobbled while showing you a literal image of it.

The writing could be cut down to 1/4 and it might still be too much.

Too much reading per nude; the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

A decent chunk of the story and visuals is AI generated with some touching up, its also extremely railroady while I get a game like this with a story and choices could be annoying nothing is more annoying than having to sleep with twelve randoms before reaching the character you want. Most romance scenes happen so quickly you can meet someone, and already be clapping them. The backgrounds are overly vibrant think teletubbies through the eyes of a beatles album cover. The primary redeeming quality is the story is funny with some obviously not AI details, but beyond this game is more or less what we can expect spamming sites in the future whether we like it or not. I mean is AI better or worse than the visual novels that use free character programs? Me personally I rather not play either.

Presently surprised. Although I don't particularly like the use of ai art, it is unusually well done in this case and I didn't personally spot much of the usual weirdness that tends to pop up with its use. The real place this game excels though is its writing, and that alone is what is prompting this good review. I consider escapism to be essentially its own genre of media at this point with its own tropes and themes and an entire collection of works falling well within them. This right here is a perfectly written escapist work. The isolated setting, idealist society, and incorporation of fantasy elements are all well done elements of escapism, and here in particular they are written into the story perfectly both in the worldbuilding and how characters act within the story with no inconsistencies. This allows for the most important aspect of am escapist work, it conveys that warm fuzzy feeling to the reader the entire time, allowing you to slip into the story in such a way as to forget the real world for the time you are reading without being pulled out of the narrative at all. That is what makes this game worth a play, if you need a break from it all there's not many games here that will provide a more relaxing experience than this. I played it in one sitting for a reason Afterall.

Pleasantly surprised by this one.

The AI art isn't my favorite, but it works well enough, and the dev utilizes it well for the limitations it has. The writing is entertaining and I'm enjoying that fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously, but isn't over the top with trying to shoehorn humor into everything. The characters that we've been introduced to so far all feel different, with well setup personalities that feel unique to each of them, and put a bit of focus on the species specific dialogue and interests.

Glad to have a game in this genre without some of the usual tags that often accompany them.

I love the wholesomeness of this VN. Everything is colourful, friendly and playful. The renders are all really nice, and the story actually has some meat. I especially like the whole discovery part of it, where the MC is trying to figure out what is going on in town, and how to find his place among the citizens.

A pretty good straight furry game, story's a bit wordy but nothing too bad, the art is actually decent for being AI (dunno what exactly is AI if not all of it, definitely a lot better than most AI slop). I enjoy it's just a nice slice of life wholesome story with some spicy H scenes sprinkled in and hope they keep working on this more since (I know I must be a broken record with my reviews about this point, but still needs to be said) it's a good STRAIGHT furry game that isn't about vore, just some nice straight furry vanilla sex which is my favorite.

Quick review for an equally quick game.

The premise is pretty much just standard isekai stuff. You play as hopeless random real life loser no.5 named Marcus, no job, no money, in huge debts, and in all seriousness might as well start digging his own grave. You find a letter from an old grandma who gives you a map made for hopeless people on earth. You visit said location and find yourself in a world filled with naive, sex-crazed anthros. Its not stunning, but hey it fulfills the need for context.

Gameplay is VN, in other words there isnt any. Just progress the story by relentlessly spacebarring until the wall of text finally clears up. Oh, and I suppose I might as well say it, this game is taking loads of piss with the word count. To say that characters talk in this game is a massive understatement: they basically recite their life history as you stare up at the ceiling imagining how nice and tight that noose must be. But I suppose in canon, the protag must be cool about this because he does the same shit himself, describing every nonsensical thing around him in pointless detail. I wish devs would just give you an option to skip the crap, but in lieu of that at least we can just spam the left ctrl button to do it.

Characters are fine to a point. Its hard to pay much attention when youre trying to spacebar the text away, but for the few brief moments where I paid more attention to the dialogue, its okay. The only downside is perhaps that theyre just not relatable because every fucking character in this place is just so...well, unnervingly nice. Especially given that youre basically the first human there for years. Its like imagining a twist on the current state of the US where instead of deporting immigrants, everyone just wanna have sex with them.

Not much else can be said about the artwork because its obviously AI. Dont have any problem with AI art, especially when theyre handled with finesse. I cannot easily spot consistency problems, nor any obvious anatomical disasters, so that's one gold star. Its a fairly pretty game, praiseworthy because regardless of how you feel about AI, it cant be easy to assemble it neatly.


So in Conclusion...

Its a game with furries that isnt about homosexuals, which for some reason is less common than you think among the furry community. Unfortunately, there's not much here for me to recommend either. Its just another one of those games where its 90% text and 10% artwork, and not very well written, evident by my finger creeping towards the left ctrl button so often.

If youre gonna make us read war and peace in your game, at very least leverage on the artwork to keep us normies interested enough to read it. Make the characters actually move more than their lips and eyes, make them feel what theyre actually talking, instead of having them just stand there like a plank of wood. Especially since the artwork is basically sub-contracted to an unpaid AI tool, there's just no reason not to make full use of it.

Recommended only for those who can bear walls of text, have loads of time to kill, or for those who absolutely need to have a furry fix.

I think this has a great foundation. I really like the different characters and it's a fun concept. Anthro x Human games are also pretty uncommon so its nice to see a new one.

I thought the characters we've seen so far have been really gun, the cow girl especially. Would be nice to have some 'unique' cocks in this game one way or another but so far it seems quite vanilla.

Certainly worth a play and I think with updates it'll only get better
