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

Great game with a lot of content, some minor bugs though. Sometimes characters stay in your screen when they seem to be in a location that they shouldnt. Overall I really like this game and hope to see more

Wow, this game is a gem in the rough!

The scenes are so hot! if I had to rate the game honestly as it is now I would give it 3 stars out of 5 because it has no sounds, but the drawing and story is so good that the author deserves to make his game more known, get more patreons and finish developing it as it deserves.

The game is kind of bad, the art is fine even though i'm not a big fan of it, on other hand the sandbox is very unnecessary and i don't see the point of it.

But the biggest minus of the game i'd say it's the writing, it's pretty bad, very mediocre which makes me avoiding it playing it.

This is honestly 5/5 game in all aspects, but the current state prevents me from rating it like that.
Pros:
- basically everything is great...
Cons:
- ...assuming you like the cheating theme
Stuff that needs to be fixed:
- time limits
- bugs
- navigation/UI - just add some kind of marker where and who is or a way to skip time period without going back and forth through locations back to the room
- more content (duh)

Overall an amazing game everywhere except coding/game design where it's mediocre. 4/5 definitely worth playing.

The time limit fucking ruins it.
Not only that but if you progress too far with Charlotte you literally cannot complete the phone quest for Mia because she isn't in the library anymore which then locks the arcade, the mall and the park because you try to search for the fucking phone every time.
Done with this game until these are fixed, this had so much potential but it's just so buggy, what a waste.

Good game overall with incredible art.The only problem is the lack of content for some characters(like Ava and mia sister) and some bugs but all of this will change in the future.I will keep an eye on this game and other futur games from the dev

Simplistic in nature, the game sets out with it attempts to do - to create a atmosphere of the MC flirting and cheating on his girlfriend with her friends.

I dislike sandbox games but the experience was pleasant enough, it works like all other sandboxes - pick girl, grind her story for sex. The journey there was satisfying with the characters - while obviously attracted to MC with little reason - being nuanced enough. They often go into internal monologue mode which grants an important glimpse in their state of mind.

It's not a deep game but it's not trying to be one either. It's just straight up fun charming the panties off the girlfriends friends.

I like the concept, it has a decent enough story. Nothing spectacular, and the girls are pretty damn open to you cheating with them despite dating their friend.

The art is good (but a bit inconsistent like some scenes look great and other look like it was very hastily drawn and lacking in details and shading).

Biggest downside and major annoyance is how buggy it is. Sometimes options can become unavailable because choosing that option randomly teleports you to an entirely different area where you interact with an entirely different character (girlfriend's mom needing help in the kitchen). Or if you'd like to visit the arcade you might notice it mentioning something about what a big house this is (as if you clicked the mansion which is right next to the arcade).

I'd wait for the devs to figure out the bugs before trying this, unless you're really appealed by the art.

At first I thought what's the big deal after reading some reviews before playing but after playing it, it's pretty damn good. The character dynamics and writing is what really makes this hot and also, if you're thinking "looks alright" visually like I did when I looked at the screenshots, there's some quality change in the art between the inbetween dialogue scenes and some of the important content scenes which are done in a more 3d-dimensional level of quality and in those scenes, the art is fantastic. It still looks like the same person. I think it might even be hand drawn not 3d models rotoscoped or anything like that. It just looks noticeably more high quality. If this was a development choice by the devs to cut down on dev time for the inbetween stuff, I think it's a smart decision. The content scenes are what's important and there's some fantastic one.

Tone of dialogue could be better but the story/character development and dynamics are really some of the best that actually play into the eroticism of the content scenes. Really like Mia and Julie the most, and Katie and Charlotte are good too. I also thought Mia doesn't have that large of boobs like the dialogue says in the beginning but after some way thru the game I didn't mind. She's just a really hot personality/character and her design looks good.

Please let there be much more in the works. the game is so much more enjoyable than i expected.

Even ignoring the whole cheating theme if that's not your thing. The art is absolutely top tier (cannot praise this enough, goddamn i love the art), and there's alot of variety in the characters to make each one unique.

-10/10 would cheat on my ditzy girlfriend again-

Great game I really enjoyed the story and the choices and the different personalitys. Any news on update for
My Girlfriend's Friends? I can't wait to play more. Look forwards to playing more in the future.

v1.0

Let's be real, this game has very good potential, right now can be basically anything and it has a girl for every fetish.

PROs:
-Beautiful art,
-Lots of different girls
-Multiple routes for each girl,

CONs:
-It's short (duh it's 1.0),
-Pretty buggy,

I really hope in the future you could do multiple routes at the same time and even have some of them cross and have some sort of harem ending. I wouldn't mind some ntr too, you are cheating on her seems reasonable that something happens the other way too, it could lead to some interesting scenes or even a breakup that allows you to end with one of the other girls.

I'll be back as soon as an update come up.

A very promising start to what will hopefully be an extensive project.

Right off the bat, this game gives you plenty of sex scenes - they aren't gated behind an hour of careful choices like some games that I might mention. What's more, the characters themselves are very entertaining, although a few do come across a bit flat (No, not like Charlotte, but also yes, exactly like Charlotte). But this is an easy problem to solve in future updates.


Even if you aren't into cheating, I can give this one a solid recommend. There's a lot here to enjoy.

Whilst not the best anime styled VN amongst the ones I've played, it is a worthwhile addition to your list. My Girlfriend's Friends is currently a short run that even without speedruns might take you 2-3 hours (or less to finish).

Regarding the length there's not much to do, but it progress quite fast in terms of the story and its characters, not too big, expansive or small and dragged. It's inflatable with the options you could pine for, but it's almost as if there's nothing to choose from with the choices so far, ranging from wholesome stuff/single partner/one true love, cheating/NTR vibes or a full on harem. Art is amazing and lives up to its name, pretty good designs as well.

The approach towards what I've seen others talk about the timeframe gameplay aspect is not what I'm not biased about, I find it interesting that you can only do so much within what's in that day. Your route as of now (v1.0) is as flexible as far as it goes, sex remains with your love interest and your best friend who has a crush on you, no matter if you try pursuing other girls, best to go back and repeat (though there is no affection in that, it won't lead to any sex but only interactions).

A solid VN piece, has its merits of vanilla as some people say it is, but it's just too early to determine post-demo version and how it goes---more to come.

Characters are good, interactions are good (and even though mostly vanilla, but they are fairly creative!), art is nice too. My only problem with the game atm that it's too short, more like a demo. But hopefully this will change in the future, this is a very promising project.

The other reviewers mentioned that they didn't like the limited in-game timeframe. I don't think it's an issue, you can always start again and focus on a different set of girls. It's more realistic this way than your usual generic harem fuckfest. I fully respect the choice of the game creator in this regard.

One of the better cheating-centered games on the site with the potential to be the very best, like no cheating game ever was.

I really like the art style, the chicks are all really cute. Especially Emily, whom is hiding some serious cake underneath her skirt, apparently, oof.

The dialogue is solid, but really shines during lewd scenes, where there appears to be a few different paths the MC can take with his respective LI, Romantic, or Dominant. I thought that was really neat.

As of now, there isn't a ton of content, but what is there is really good.

My only nitpick is how restrictive the game feels (most likely because of said lack of content) you have like, two weeks in-game time to get your LI of choice's "ending", so you pretty much have to focus on her entirely or you might not get it.

When that "end of content" point is reached, you have to either reload a save or restart the game to pursue another girl. Rinse and repeat.

As a whole, big fan of this game, and I love the concept. Looking forward to more content in the future.

Edit: Do wanna mention to the dev that there are a lot of grammar issues later in the game incase they slipped past him. Small typos and such.

It would get 5 stars, if it weren't for the fact that you only have a very limited amount of time each 'run' and you can't even come close to completing every girls path in one game.

The art is great, and the writing is as well, but this huge time constraint just makes it annoying because if you want to see a certain path, you have to start the entire game over again. I mean, I suppose I understand what the dev is going for in a narrative sense, but when it comes to game design, mechanics always have to come first before anything else, and this is no exception.

The time constraint makes it a pain to play and needs to be removed.

Very promising! Can't wait for the next update. It has great characters and a simply story that allows you to move quickly. The only downside I can think of is that you cannot advance with multiple girls at the same time.

My Girlfriend's Friends

Version reviewed: 0.9B

Positives

• girlfriend's friend group is large and varied, girls have funny dynamics with MC
• good art
• a good bit of content as of 0.9B (till day 10)

YMMV

• the game is on the lighter side, doesn't take itself too seriously
• MC has better chemistry with pretty every other girl compared to his actual girlfriend

Negatives

• quite often there isn't anything to do - the content is spread across many girls which you cannot pursue all at once, and there aren't many things to do otherwise (like randomly texting the other girls, some more gameplay elements)
• pretty much no sound

All in all, it's a solid game and I'm looking forward to future versions!

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.
