Ren'Py - Completed - My Office Adventures [v1.00D1] [The Coder]

Worth the play, all characters and their relationships are nameable, dialogue can be a little cringe but not a show stopper and theres some decent mechanics that keep the game fresh past the first couple acts.

What do we have here? Usual trope, diverse and pleasant-looking koikatsu models, lots of H scenes promised. Alright, let's go.
...Ok, pacing is a bit strained, but that's fine...
...You want me to do X thing 10 times to progress with the character? Well, fine, it's a single click, not a big problem...
...i have to do it again? And again?! AND AGAIN?!...
...that was annnoying. But at least not as annoying as that QTE minigame. I really hope i won't have to play it all that much...
...Jinxed myself, had to play it 5 more times. 10. 15. 20...
...Alright, at least that nightmare was tied to a single character and won't be anywhere else...
...WHY?!?!??!...
-----
That's how my playthrough went. I'm not finished, but i struggle to enjoy the game at this point. It is a good 8/10 game, that is being pointlessly drowned in grind and QTEs all the way down to 5/10. Which is especially weird with all the QoL improvements that dev put into it.

Nice work for the game. I hope it will be easier to play on android especially when scrolling for quests, but overall it's great. Keep up the good work, I hope you can get something good from this, like increased player engagement or valuable user feedback to improve future updates.

Falls short of being Great !

Pros:

• Decent cookie cutter story
• Tons of characters
• Useful quick travel feature
• Meaty amount of content(more than a few hrs of game-play)
• Lots of relationships to explore
• Decent enough character designs

Cons:

• Repetitive
• Every character falls for the MC in almost the same way
• Unimaginative sex scenes(had potential)
• Annoying mini games that's not fun or challenging.

Best to play when you got a lot of time to burn.

All in all, a pretty good game with a bit of meta-humor from the developer. The scenes are pretty good and they're what you'd expect with koikatsu.

The only beef I have, not technically directed to the game itself, is that the mediafire and pixeldrain(?) links for the Android version of this game appear to be outdated, as they both will crash at a specific event with Sandra. However, the itch.o version of the game for Android functioned perfectly fine. If you're playing on Android, you should get it from there.

Really nice game. I love the models (Aunt ftw).
Some features are really well thought and the use of shortcuts is too rare in renpy, great job.
Looking forward to play the sequel.
reaching 200 chars is hard

The usual sandbox, point-and-click dating sim business that doesn't respect your time: lots of clicking, waiting, navigating through million menus and locations. Lot's of foreplay and an ungodly amount of blue-balling in order to artificially prolong game's run-time. As author warned, there's no story and dialogue is serviceable at most, but there isn't romance either, since all characters are boring and, most often than not, even annoying. There is some production value to this, hence 2 starts, but really cannot recommend under any circumstances.

I love Koikatu games, and being able to choose the names for each character gives a plus of excitement to the game, I'm looking forward to play the sequel and see what awaits us once they finish it.
Scenes, characters, story and gameplay 9/10

Surprisingly good. Animations are good, and not extremely short. Tons of content. Almost every female model is sexy as hell. But the real top notch feature is the HUD and UI. Simply put, It's the best I've ever used in a VN. Shortcut features work flawlessly, the game lets you teleport to each girl individually to continue the story, none of the clicking the same house door 399 times. The world is the perfect size and is believable. Story is vanilla, quite literally just a living life story. But it's still above average these days for how bad recent releases have been. And ic content mixed with the quality of the game is an easy 5 star. If you see the rating as it is now (something like a 3.7 star) that's a joke, this game is in the top 90% of vns you will ever play and the only people that aren't happy are trying to compare it to the top 10% of elite games with the elite story to go along with the good everything else. Give it a chance if what I said is appealing you definitely won't be disappointed.
These days a 4 star on f95 is basically a 10/10 game. It's sad.

My singular gripe is the lack of fetish type content. But most people like boring vanilla sex so I can't complain there, just the dev giving the masses what they want.

Character design is marvelous even though story could have been better but appreciate the build up of the story & the characters each with unique personality, adds the spice to the game. Some things might be repetitive but
also the mini game could have been improvised slightly. Overall, its a whopping 4.5/5.

It's a great game the animations are smooth and I love the fact that you didn't abandon your work. The story is a bit rehashed but that doesn't mean it's bad it's pretty good. I like the pacing and I love the characters. please keep it up you're great.

This is a wonderful game. Have nice history and visual. And more important have a lot of beautiful milfs with a perfect design SO HOT.
I'm excited for the future updates.
The DEV(S) make a perfect work I I recommend play this , you rwon't regret it.

The dialogue and characters are abysmal, and the plot is mediocre at best. It really is hard to overstate just how bad the dialogue is, both in terms of repetitiveness and vocabulary. I am not sure if the developer has ever met a woman, let alone spoken to one.

The pace is glacial, and it keeps getting worse, with scenes being sparser and sparser the more you play, and the "cockblocking" gets old rather quickly.

The visuals are the highlight of the game, but they're still nothing to write home about. I wasn't expecting all that much from the game and I still feel like I wasted my time.

I really enjoy this game. I like the pacing and variety of personalities. The sandbox mechanism is good and the controls work well. I hope the developer keeps making games.

I love the animation and the drawing style. It's not overly complicated and the stories are good.

I like how there is variety in the girls in terms of looks, nipple color, the sex length isnt too long and the animation is fluid enough. And most importantly the dev didnt take too long to complete development with a satisfying ending from when I first saw it a few years ago.

Story ?¿/5

--------------

Li: Eleanor suffer from severe multiple personality disorder at best.
Worst Li ever, just run her over with a car please.

From "Please be serious MC, business business." to "Kiss me MC, i love you" to "What are you doing?!?!" to "Please suck my boobs" to rage mode again.

-------------------

Dialogue is really cringy, new level of cringe.
Any Jap raw MTL game have better dialogue.

---------------------

Good Koikatsu renders 10/5

Story: Idk, I skipped it, but I think it's pretty mundane, except for a few routes. ?/5
Gameplay: Classic sandbox where you go around, work, and buy things to finish paths, a little bit of grinding which I didn't mind. 3.5/5
Characters: Mhh, from an aesthetic point of view few are well enough cared for, but for example the protagonist's "mum" is a character that is included in the better repack of koikatsu. Instead, the personalities are quite good for a porn game. 4/5
Animations: There are enough of them, but they are the classic default animations of koikatsu, moreover also slightly unsmooth. 3.5/4
Music: Very annoying, you will find yourself listening to the same stupid music over and over again. 2/5
Other: I have to say that compared to many other koikatsu-based games, this one isn't bad at all.
Final rating: 3.6 (I'll put 4 stars because all in all it's above average)

Well, it is kind of a Visual Novel only with a bit of management. The animations and pictures are all good quality and also the dialogs are nice to read. But well all in all it has a linear story, even if you can until a certain degree decide for yourself in which order you conquer the girls, but it doesn't change anything in the end.
What is nice, you can yourself discover new animations, depending where you find the girls.
Depending on what you want you can easily reach more or less different endings.
A good story and overall good game.

[Review for v0.97]
I had a lot of trouble trying to come up with what I considered an "accurate" rating for this game. After staying up far too late on two separate nights trying to complete the game, I feel far too invested to rate it poorly, but simultaneously too unsatisfied to give it an actually-good rating. So, an average 3/5 stars is where I've landed amongst all these mixed thoughts.

Just gonna bullet list my main thoughts here.

• Minimal approach to story actually kinda works in this game's favor, in a nice "don't think too hard and just (try to) enjoy the porn" way.
  • Unfortunately, this also means that when the story tries to get a little deeper or more serious with itself, it feels unfitting in the "Ctrl+Alt+Del Loss" way, where the attempt at something more emotional doesn't mesh well with everything else.
    • Good examples of such would be the whole emotional drama with the sister after the cruise, but while that's going on you can do anime shenanigans with the twins before fucking them. Or the need for a "girl gets plastered and MC (rightfully) rejects her sexual advances" scene that you can have happen right after sexual escapades between a woman and her mom.
• The basic set-up of the MC having some vague IT solutions & support company feels grounded and mature in an odd way, especially for a porn game, and allows for a fairly natural method of meeting new characters.
  • This "realism" also comes at the price of making things fucking boring at the same time. The MC doesn't really have any "cool" talents, skills, or abilities, he's just a nice dude with a big dick who can do computer stuff good (who also installs a fucking Linux distro as the operating system on some middle-aged woman's work computer, which I'm sure isn't user-friendly lol)
• The women are all pretty hot and the sex scenes are fine for the most part (except for the rampant amount of footjobs, seriously dude I'm pretty sure it's not a common form of foreplay like god damn). The main issue is that they lack variation. Most of the scenes just feel like the same thing with different women between them.
• Hell, even some girl's scenes just feel like repeats of previous ones but with a different backdrop. I'd almost say that the game would benefit from less characters, especially ones with similar themes/scenarios.
  • My personal example for this would be Alex, who's cute but has so much overlap between other girls that she feels like a superfluous addition. Her "need to help her study" bit was already done with the twins, her risque scenes in the office feel tired after like four other characters with the same scenarios, and her scenes where she doesn't want to get caught fucking in your room also feel worn out (especially considering you've probably already deep-dished everyone else in the house by the time you get to that point.)
• As other reviews point out, a lot of the sex gets interrupted or put on hold way, way too much. Combine that with the aforementioned lack of variety and the end result is that the game just feels unrewarding.
  • To build on the "unrewarding" part, let's just play out how a typical "questline" plays out for a girl in this game. You meet the girl, build up a little relationship with her in a few moments, things are fine. After the fourth interaction you get a lewd scene like fucking in a risky place, only to get interrupted because well, you've attempted to fuck in a risky place. Your next two interactions are locked behind multiple in-game days of waiting and after the sixth you finally get an uninterrupted scene with her, and it's just like... yet another scene that ends in a doggy-style pullout on her ass, which you've already seen on like four other girls now because in-between the wait to unlock one girl's interactions you go ahead and progress other stories.

This game starts off incredibly slowly. The rewards are few. Ok I think, the rate will incease over time because that's LOGICAL, right???

Nope, not in this game. The rewards decrease over time. I am not even kidding. The scenes will get a bit spicier but there'll be frequent interuptions and blue-balling.

Horrible game. Horrible writing. Horrible navigation. Horrible rewards.

1 star for you, dev. This would be a 0 star review were it possible. I wanted to award the dev the same way he rewarded me wasting hours of my life for nothing in return. So thanks?
