Ren'Py - My Girlfriend's Friends [v2.0b2] [Kyle Mercury]

Really like the art and writing on this one. Also, it's surprisingly hard to find a game with a story that centers around cheating AND features a straight male main character AND doesn't just drop the plot halfway through in favor of becoming a giant harem clusterfuck. Maybe there is a game or two like that out there, but I haven't found one yet that's the same level of quality as this.

I'm kind of of surprised this doesn't have more reviews considering how good it is.

first of all the story of the game. Its basically about the main character getting together with his girlfriends friends. As you could probably guess by the title of the game.... Now what makes the premise so good is the fact that every characters path is unique with their own situations that lead to sexual tension, between our main character and his girlfriends group of friends.

as for the characters. you know the shows where the main female protagonist believes in the power of friendship and has a group of friend's who are all unique and yet they all surround her, that's these group of friends. As described by our main character.
which only adds to sexual tension!!!

Good story until now, good girls to cheat your girldfriend and good MC, not the common nerdy. The game does not have too much grind, which I like a lot. Also you need to play it several times to get all the girls scenes (its ok, does not get lazy).

Look forward to updates, enjoy the art style. Keep doing u and I'm sure this game will be noticed by a good amount of people. Right now there isn't much to do yet but i already enjoyed it so I can't wait to see what else will be added.

Really Cool premise for a game. Love the setting and the art
+ dev is hilarious. Really shows quite a bit of promise for a new game, love the dynamic of the girls and our main protagonist. So... good luck my man, hope for more content in the future.

Fair warning: Don't let the 'v0.5' fool you, this is only a first demo version. Being a first release makes it somewhat difficult to review but I'll give it a try anyway. The rating is based on the game's potential and not on its current content.

The setup of this game is that of a standard dating sim, with the important exception that you start the game with a girlfriend. It's up to you to decide whether you want to spend time with your gf or maybe have some 'side-adventures' with her friends (and let's be honest, if you chose to play this game we all know which path you will take!).

Some general info:

• Dating sim.
• Standard sandbox town setting with locations like school, gym, home, library, etc. and three time zones (morning, afternoon, evening).
• So far there are 8 potential love interests: your gf, her mom and little sister, and her five friends. For now you can only have sex with your gf. The other characters are just more or less extensively introduced.
• Keep in mind that since this is a first release many things will be added or improved and thus the pros and cons below might not be relevant for future releases.

Positive:

• Really nice and unique art style.
• The characters look good and have various different personalities. On the other hand, their personalities are also very cliche (shy gamer girl, sporty good looking girl, loud popular girl, etc.)
• Conversations are smooth and English is flawless.

Less positive:

• At this point the game and the city still feel a bit empty. There are many locations where you can't do anything. I think that's one of the main disadvantages of a sandbox game in development. Also it's not always clear what you need to do to progress the story, which makes that you're just clicking different locations at different times of the day hoping that something new will happen.
• You only have a limited amount of days before a chapter ends, which implies that you won't have enough time to see everything in one playthrough.
• There are no animations and some scenes could use some extra renders. Also characters have often just one facial expression. These things might be improved in future releases though.
