Ren'Py - My New Neighbors [v1.83] [Rmaximus]

[v 0.5]

I've been reading the other reviews (part of the reason I've played the game) and I have to say, either I'm way too jaded with porn games or some people are much more tolerant to the lack of quality shown here.

Yes, the game is a game, of sorts, in that you have some choice on what the next scene will be. The grinding is negligible, with the hint system you can pretty much aim for the girl you want to pursue and go wild. Also the humor is somewhat welcome, albeit in a stunted "english is my third language sort of way". I've seen worse (Corruption comes to mind).

That's about the only good things I can say about this mess. The characters I've seen in about a baker's dozen of games already, the writing's more elaborate in the random non-sex scenes, while the sex scenes get at most two-three cookie cutter sentences ("Harder! I'm about to cum!, etc.").

The story's banking on the suspension of disbelief on the part of the player so much it's not even funny. Coming back to Corruption, even that game's plot is more believable than this.

And to top off this ugly cake, the bugs are many and annoying. Click anywhere in the room you're not supposed to click and you're magically teleported to a place of the game's choosing. It might be a different room, it may be the threesome event with mom and the twins you don't meet the requirements for yet. That actually happened to me. Funny to see the whole harem naked at breakfast and then have to grind stats for the first kiss with one of the twins.

So yeah, that's it in a nutshell. If you've seen better (and playing games on this site for any time at all, I'm willing to bet you did), don't bother with this. I'd like to say there's room for improvement here, but it feels like the game started as a cash grab and now it's going forward due to inertia. Not expecting to ever feel the need to play this again, not even after 5+ years of development.

Like the art; I'm a breast guy so those of us who aren't may find some of the assets overlarge.

Like the writing; voice is serviceable, scenario's done well, reading is fluent and characterization is good enough.

Porn is good, but I like corruption, harem, and bi girls. Wish there were more random scenes of girls interacting after they're turned to flesh out the harem aspect, but it's an early dev version so I get it.

My main gripe is the progression; near as I can tell it's strictly linear even though the presentation fakes a sandbox and that annoys me greatly. The game turns into a lackluster VN/puzzle game hybrid that relies too much on room-by-room ADV trawling looking for the next trigger.

TLDR: I like it quite a bit, rework the progression and the score will shoot up to match.

My Neighbors !

What caught my eye is the front picture ( especially Mary xD )

Anyway...

Its a great and fresh game in a way, i hope after it's done the creator will continue with making games!

PROS...

Fun and innovative.
Cool models (especially the growing part).
It has some grind but its perfect proportion to keep you interested (really nice hint system if you search for it).
A lot of animation and good ones.
A lot of content and big updates!

CONS

Rushed story (not a big problem).
Not so much of a choices for now but once its finished i guess there will be!


Really unique and interesting game in a lot of ways, its not deep or complicated which makes it fun and chill game.
If you look to have some fun without the need to follow complicated plot and overly engineered (stupid), insanely complicated guides, this is the game. Really light and fun game with great scenes (fun characters) and interesting concept!

Great game overall, pretty fun. The story is rushed and too fast in the begining, but it's still pretty interesting. The images are good, some animations can be kinda weird, like the kissing ones, altough the stripping ones are really good.
There's a small amount of grinding, but enough content so it won't tire you.
So far, my only critic is the lack of choices in the game. Also, the submission path of Kat is barely any form of submission, it seems like she "falls in love" while pretending to be submissive

So, in reality the game is just good. Not great. However, this game checks all my boxes. Family, corruption, body modification (breast expansion/body modification), and some pretty fantastic animations which I would not have expected from the look of it.

Speaking of corruption, the story and background to it are not the most fleshed out but good enough but I am a huge fan of gradual corruption. Not just getting people to do things they would not otherwise, but the characters change, wear different outfits, and act entirely differently depending on their corruption level. A few other games do it, it is not original, but I feel the corruption tag gets thrown around too loosely.

Here's MY OPINION about the game, you don't have to agree / disagree.

Seriously? Seriously?! I've just felt like someone spit on my face. I have download the game and played a bit and it was a total waste of time.
At the very beginning, on introduction, author says literally he doesn't give a damn about the story, building up pace, atmosphere, characters' personalities etc. and copy everything from Max's Life (which I'll write below).
And after that you have sex scenes floating out of display around every corner. Some random sex scene put all together made the "game" live.
And even MC is a 100% copy of Max's Life + Rita with a slightly bigger boobs. Sex scenes are a copy-paste from Max's Life as well.
I'm not gonna judge the pace of the interactions cause that depends on the game and plot itself (here it goes really fast and since it's just sex action game (not a VN, definitely not) there's no content around the game at all)

Never gonna get back here.
Gave 2 stars because of animations and renders. That's it.

My 2 cents

Pros

• Interesting take on a familiar concept
• Dialogue is well written, definitely above average.
• No engrish (Always a plus IMO)
• Great character models for fans of curvy girls
• While it is a sandbox the amount of grind required is very minimal
• Good variety of characters to interact with.
• A large number and variety of well done animations.
• Easy to follow hints system so you should never get stuck or lost.

Cons (honestly the second and third are very minor and are barely worth mentioning)

• The phone which you use to access the hints is hidden on the side of the screen. This is mostly a problem if you come back to the game after waiting for an update. I'll admit that it took me a little while before I remembered how to pull up the hints because in the few days since I'd last played it I forgot about the invisible phone.
• The current slate of characters aren't very original. You'll recognize their personalities from a million other games.
• There's very little character development so far.

That being said I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking for something that has a lot of sexual content without having to invest much time into a story.

review update for version 1.10
there no more actual "cons", cuz in map good locations amount and some locations expanding by new rooms during gameplay. in current state game is almost masterpiece and i hope for much more content.

review based on 0.3 version.
this game have surprisely huge amout content for third release(i mean content release). also some story part looks like almost finished.
PRO:
- cg is ok
- dozens animations presents
- ingame hints presents, so w/t dnt need
- huge amount content for game in early stage development
- simple and readable eng
- code is simple, but ok
NEUTRAL:
- here almost no backstory, but that kind of game dnt need it
CONS:
- empty map (for now) and to few content for other locations
- sandbox in 7.5(for now) rooms may cause claustrophobia

there no conclusion- just good game in current stage.

v0.3 review

This is exactly what I want when I see a corruption style game.
Yes it's linear with the only real 'choices' being;
1. a partial choice to corruption one character via love or domination (and that character was just introduced so her content is lacking).
2. the order that you choose to corrupt the characters (and even this is still pretty gated and linear)

BUT other than that, I can't say a single bad thing about this game.

It uses HS style renders quite well and the characters start off looking quite realistic, only reaching ridiculous levels in later amounts of corruption. It doesn't make you waste a ton of time getting into the game.
It doesn't force you to pointlessly grind for days and days, but instead makes you just spend enough time so that you can appreciate the various different dialogues and scenes that are at each level of corruption.
Finally, and while I'm aware this is a personal taste, it introduces an interesting and fun twist on the succubus / incubus genre as the mechanic for corruption. It's not just a far fetched "oh i found a book on hypnosis and now im going to fuck my whole family" trope that's been over-used. While the plot is obviously fantastical, it actually sort of works and makes sense. So that's nice.

So, yeah, this game has been a nice surprise and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'd suggest anyone who likes corruption style games check this one out. I'll try it out again in future versions for sure and hope this continues to develop nicely.

Really enjoyed this game. Very simple corruption/relationship harem game. It's got a nice little twist as the backstory even if it's a pretty strange introduction. renders animations are nice wouldn't have minded some of the girls staying different body types but i like the transformation stuff too. Perhaps in subsequent updates they can change back and forth? My only concern is that things move pretty quickly but dev can always add new girls i suppose and the girls can also get more depraved. here's hoping they get in on the fun and help the MC corrupt all their friends. Definitely worth a dl and play
Edit: so it appears the body switch back to the original bodies is already in the game which is great.

released on august and 2 gb big and its not empty two gigabytes

Its a pure corruption story those who are sick and want to experiment and fab this game is for them it has kink it has hot-scenes very much of them
the girls are beatiful and sexy
The MC is without any thoughts I hope the NTR route will come soon its soo amazing so hot its kinky and I really loved to played one of the few games where I didnt skip the dialouge

Lots of sexual content already and all the characters look great. The sex scenes feel a little bit short and bland. My suggestion would be to add some dialogue during thoses scenes to make them a little more spicy. The UI could use a little bit more work to make it more visually appealing. There are also some minor spelling mistakes but nothing too bad, it's something that can be easily fixed in future updates.

Overall I think it's a good game with a lot of potential.

TL;DR:wait and see on this one if your horny for incest or hentai in general go somewhere else brah : v

Cons: THE NEEDS WORK the characters are quite bland or unlikable (toast is more engaging), The plot is dumb , the patch doesn't work all the time because the characters will still refer to their mom by their first name and even call the mc mc instead of his name, there's no sound. **Breathes** it's definitely in it's first stages

Pro: Good looking models with variation (short haired imoutos rock!) Big boobs, small boobs same for the butt's, my god what good looking sluts! (I'm not sorry). EDIT: as it says in the description tho the girls do get thicker so You kind lose that to... Also it's nice because you can go after what ever character you want with out tedious grind and other routes and gose straight to the point

The OK: The sex seances are short and a little lackluster.

I really liked this game. Full-fledged games with transformation and submission of girls are very rare, and each game stands out like a diamond. I hope you will continue to develop this game and as a wish I would like more explicit transformations as with Lucy and that there were more stages of transformation (purely from fetishes it would be cool to see some guy turn into a harem girl)
