VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - My New Memories [v0.4] [Killer7]

Very good start for just the second release of a game. I played it when it first came out, but held off on reviewing it until the second release.

The models are very good, but the character animations could use some work. They are not bad by any means, but there are better.

The story is engaging and actually wants to be a novel. A lot of games focus on the visual aspect more than the scripting, but this is not like that. If you want something that's worth reading you should check this game out. Very much enjoyed it so far!

I finally found the time to enjoy this game....
It felt like the first contact with MNF for me, which is very, very positive.

But this one feels even more intense, more soulful. The calm and soft background music together with the beautiful images creates an extremely atmospheric, slightly melancholic mood for me.
Of course, I have been able to take just about all the characters shown so far into my heart, especially the daughters I just have to love!
In addition, the rousing and very detailed writing style just fits perfectly.
All thoughts and backgrounds of the respective characters are brought closer so very detailed and "credible".

Of course, one should not necessarily apply realistic standards to the story, but take it as it is: a beautiful, emotional story.
Of course, I sincerely hope that there doesn't have to be any real heartbreak or worse drama to make the story more "interesting".

Absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoys a lot of well written writing and appreciates an equally great love/life story.

Definitely looking forward to the updates to come!!!

I'm really enjoying this game. Not because of its realism (obviously), but because it's a nice bit of escapism. We're surrounded by some very dodgy characters and events all the time in "real life", so escaping into this world is a fun diversion.

Of course, the fantastic artwork helps a lot, too. I've virtually fallen in love with almost every character in the story (again, unrealistic, but hella nice... ). They're a great cross-section of delightfully sexy and huggably adorable characters, and I wish I really knew folks like this in "real life". The soft background music is pleasant, too, and fitting for the situations depicted. And the writing is also excellent - quite engaging and able to draw us into these folks' lives in a very complete and interesting manner.

I'm looking very much forward to more in this game and sincerely hope that any heartbreak won't be too devastating. Overall, this is a great title, and I heartily recommend this to anyone looking for a good story featuring good people, some hotness, and a nice escape from the crap the world constantly seems to want to hurl our way. A tip of the hat to all involved, and a donation is in the works. Cheers!

I like the game a lot, (as I do My New Family) but it does have the same problem as the other one , it's a bit too wordy. It could do with a good editor.

It's ok that it's a story/novel and not just a porn game, I prefer it that way. However you could easily trim 25-30% off the texts and still miss nothing of the story or the character development.

The renders are great, everyone is good looking with charming features.
Great amount of content already, even though it's only 0.2

As of v0.2
Well damn if this isn't a really good start to a AVN!!

I am impressed with the depth of the story and really all of the characters. That is something I did not expect and only a handful of AVNs do it to this level and this well. Probably the reason they are all among my favorites.

The base story is not really as generic as the description made it sound. Sure simple base of amnesia, but it goes so much further in how the story unfolds and the characters around with each of their own substories that fit into the narrative.

Not a FAP-a-minute AVN, which is perfect for me. I love the stories around the erotic parts as much as the erotic parts. Makes it feel more real.

The graphics are really solid. I have seen better, but these are really well done over all and do the story justice. Same with the animations.

Very much looking for to future releases!

One of the rare games where I don't mind reading so much because the story is really well written. A big step up from My New Family where I stopped reading the text after a while because it just became too much.

The graphics are well made and diverse and the sex scenes are pretty good although a bit too few at this point. Still, this went immediately to my Patreon list.

Normally, I skip games that are v0.2 or lower since they typically don't have a lot of content. I would have done the same for this one as well if I hadn't noticed the 4+ rating. That made me curious, so I figured I'd download it and give it a shot to see what it was all about.

I'm glad I did. I was really impressed by the amount of game play it had, it felt more inline with what I typically attribute to v0.6+. The story is an interesting spin from most of the games I've played before & I look forward to seeing the direction it takes. Killer7's other title, My New Family, is already in my top 10. I suspect this game will end up being in my top 5 when more of the game is released.

Wow - Killer7 really knows how to write a story! I thought that My New Family (MNF) was a great game, but this is a lot better! I do love the references in the game to MNF, just my type of sick humour . I enjoyed that the sex scenes in this VN were nicely spaced! Although no we have a bit more info, about the MC and his family, I hope we at least a few threesomes or moresomes. Keep up the great work on both projects, I am anxiously waiting for an update on this story. Thank you

Not gonna lie, at the start of the story I felt like the MC, not knowing anything about what was happening around and knowing that something was off about the family. Then I understood everything, it was weird at the start, but the story and the characters try to convince you that it's normal, not gonna spoil anything though.
It is a good slow burn story, and if you don't like reading then this is not for you. Also the animations are really well done, the renders also very high quality. Each updates adds a lot of content to the story and I am eagerly waiting for more.

I found the whole thing silly and, after a while, rather tedious.

(Spoilers ahead)

MC is just incredibly wealthy, fit, rich, attractive, generous, wonderful person, who lived with a bizarre happy family/harem and now rediscovers this after the usual tired accident/amnesia story, this time by conversations with (his image of? spirit of?) his wife who still is in a coma. Apart from this one narrative trick, the story has nothing interesting to show, it is just annoying and silly: MC is so wonderful that every female character in 10km radius, in particular his (all female?) family, were happily fucking / sharing him (without any interest in any other male of course), with kinky wife as sexual mastermind. Without any real tension or problems (apart ridiculous crap as the one "bitch" sister who did not want to share but will come around now).

Writing is average. *Lots* of conversation, which I usually like, but here it is never interesting or funny or witty, just boring. Models and renderings are nothing special. Lots of contents. Probably no meaningful choices(but did not try more than one route).

Well written story with no idea wtf is going on, in regards to how Anna is communicating with the PC (and I love it). Not a quick fap VN but a well written out slow burn plot with intense storyline, ended on a cliffhanger I'd already guessed, now I just want to be wrong about who I think tried to kill the PC.

I swear to god if the dev kills Anna I'm changing my 5* to a 1*

Got the game on Steam but had to register here after I discovered this rabbit hole of adult vns. The Steam page also says it's a slow burn with a lot of reading and I saw people complain there as well which doesn't really make sense in my opinion. If the game tells you that story is the focus, not lewds, and you don't like to read a lot, I would just skip it ( the game, not the story ). Anyway, enough of the rant.

I didn't enjoy the prologue that much, I was pissed because of all the things that your family didn't tell you. But holy cow, Chapter I immediately took a turn in the other direction and I freakin' love it. This was superb story telling and now I can't wait to see where the story is heading. Definetely thinking about joining patreon or subscribestar to get betas.

5/5, easy.

Well, to be honest. Way to much unneeded conversation between characters. There is no much interesting triggering decisions. Animation could be better. Story is so, so. Don't put it so boring, there is a lot of games with amnesia problem. I skiped all conversations mostly, to long, takes time to much. I would take a book to read instead of playing. Specialy pay attention to that, most players language is not English native. It's exostiing to read that long.

for v0.2... The renders are not the top of the line but they are more than good enough. The story is well written and interesting. The dialogue feels almost natural. The sex scene animations were good. There are no weird typos or funky engrish that feels out of place. I also like how the dev has some characters speaking in german and has the exact sentence right underneath it in english to make it easy to read and understand.

I just picked this up today and haven't played it through yet. Still, it's been plenty long enough to recognise quality work.

The models are good and not ones I've seen a hundred times before, which is a huge plus. The animations are very decent too.

Where it shines -and shines pretty brightly - is in the most important area: the writing. The story is way more involved than the typical "This dude lost his memory, goes home, spends 5 minutes getting to know everyone again and then fucks them all".

The dialogue is superbly written and flows very naturally, allowing the story to feel real and a real sense of the personalities involved to develop. Not an easy thing to do, but the author handles it with aplomb. Not to mention that it feels realistic and not juvenile or downright stupid, as is so very often the case.

I'll certainly be following this and look forward to the continuation.

As a huge fan of K7's works, this was perhaps the best update of any of his work. The painstaking time he's taken with this update has been well worth the content he's put out. The animations and renders were top tier, and the feels that come with the story was impeccable. There was absolutely no negatives this update, if anything I could complain about it's just that I want more. But that's not a negative, that just means I crave his work more. The fact he could do all this in 5 months says volumes about the passion of his work. I can only hope we'll get more soon enough.

*REVIEW v0.2)

This is my first review on this site. I have downloaded and played a fair few games from this site and this is the first developer that i have decided to support officially (so far) .

I had the pleasure of already playing (and really enjoying) this version via the official pre-release.

I enjoy playing Killer7's other game (MNF), however this game is a step above.

Engaging story, very nice renders, good quality animations.

Dev also provides regular updates.

Highly Recommended.

Incredible boring game, boring dialouge, boring chars... Meaning It's all just too bland, no fun, not very creative and everything gets dragged out and the story keeps getting interrupted by boring memories, but If you like a game where they talk about nothing meaningful over half the time, but maybe thats the point of It I don't know?
The game could easy be cut down to 2/3 of what It Is now.

I would only have giving this 2 stars, but the art and animations are pretty good, so It would not be fair to call It poor, even tho everything else Is.

This is one of those rare VNs that I would read for the story even without the H scenes. The lewd bits and graphics are great too, but the story and the characters are really what makes it. Looking forward to how it unfolds.

Another great story from one of my favorite creators with the same soul and love as My New Family. It's still early on but I'm already enjoying the mystery and the individual characters. The amount of content for an initial release is insane and I'm eagerly awaiting the next drop whenever it arrives.

Areas of Improvement

• Sabrina feels like a very important piece of this so she probably shouldn't be the ugliest of the bunch. I think it might just be the hair makes her look scraggly?
• Sophie's eyes look unnatural compared to everyone else
