Ren'Py - My New Paranormal Life [v0.3] [Impassi Productions]

I really like the game visually. The characters look good and I love monster girls. Also, I dislike sandboxes but this one is alright so far, its mostly just choosing who to interact w/ first. Although the money/xp stuff makes me worried for the future (hint: pointless grinding is never a good idea to implement).

However, the writing and dialogue is just so bland. I don't know if its translated or what, but the dialogue is very sparse and some responses just don't make a ton of sense logically. And some scenes are just over waaay too fast. The date with the mermaid is literally like 7-8 sentences long. Some scenes are even shorter. We need to be able to actually TALK to these girls if you want us to care about them.

If the world and the MC's motivations were fleshed out more, and the dialogue and scenes were not so quick and boring this game would be a 5. As of now its probably more of a 3, but I like the visuals/girls a bunch so I upped my rating to a 4.

So far so great (v0.2)!

It has very good atmosphere. You feel like you go on an adventure imop, really cool. You have multiple dialogue options some time when talking to the girls than can lead to funny interactions, maybe there will be consequences in the future depending on what you chose in these dialogues (from the questlog it seems to be that way). The art style is very pleasing to the eyes (maybe some AI used?), imop. all in all it looks very good. The reference to "from dusk till dawn" is very much appreciated. Also of course the most important thing, the females character designs are very hot (I mean look at that demon lady)...

If this game can keep up with what it promises rn (many mysteries yet to solve), it will definetly be one of my favourites.

[v0.2]

• fun to play, feels like an adventure;
• nice art;
• great girls;
• good pacing, dialogs are to the point / concise;
• mini-game isn't bad & can be disabled (trade off);
• nice (non standard) bgm & pretty nice sound design / sfx;
• UI is good (a fair deal above Ren'Py game avg.) & pleasure to work with;
• good polish overall;
• squirting!

At least 4 stars, but feel confident to give 5 already.

Very short initial release, but really well put together.
I honestly simply enjoyed the story, very immersive.

Art style: 5/5
Story so far: 5/5
Interface: 5/5 (I would allow to save without naming the save file)
Action: none at the moment

Notes: I would switch relationships to incest (A definite mom and sister thing is going) or at least construct writing where it could be added with an easy "word swap".
Also, so many horror games are suffering from a lack of anal, I would advise including that in.

Demo is very short but damn it caught my attention, art is very good, sound is peak, the slightly spooky premise with the little clues in the newspaper have huge potential. looking forward to more

Hope it stays a little spooky
