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

Honestly this game is pretty bad. It is a sandbox game so I expected that it would be grindy and the dev himslef warns about the story not being particularly well done but what disappointed me was that despite the many reviews praising the renders I personally found them pretty bad and this is especially true during sex scene animations which are kind of the reward for the aforementionned grind and were truly disappointing, there is barely any sex appeal to them.

This game has some robust mechanics. Too many mebbe, it takes a bit to save or load like mebbe the scripts behind all these cool mechanics are almost too much. At some points the game feels less like a game and instead a tech demo.

The soundtrack isn't terrible, but kinda irritating after a certain point too. I think perhaps it's because most of the tracks have fairly short repetitive loops.

The dialogue...the reason this game gets 3 stars. The "humor" is terrible. The MC "Loki" does not live up to the name, although he as well as the rest of the cast think he's some sorta comedian. I get that this game isn't about the story that's alright. The real issue is, the glaring fact that the dev is clearly more of a software engineer then a story teller.

Just stop with the "jokes" we don't care about the word count at this point, just stop raping our eyes with the "jokes" they're almost soul crushingly unfunny. They totally distract from the rest of the game instead of just the lack of good story.

The models are pretty nice with good variety and a decent spread of scenes as of v0.90. Got no problem with that, in fact it's presentation that's carrying this game.

TL;DR Almost physically painful attempts at humor couched in an over tuned UI with a swiss army knife of QOL mechanics and good visuals. Lean on the CTRL key and it'll almost be a 5 star game...

gonna give this 5 stars because even though I don't think it's as good as some of the best games on this site I think it succeeds very well at what it's trying to be, and that is a porn slice of life dating sim.
The porn is excellent and it's always a plus when the dev includes the option to name what the MC and LIs call each other during sex. If you like good dirty talk this is an excellent game for that. The models and sex scenes are very well done too. The game over all is fairly well put together if a bit dense and slightly too feature rich, it could do with some simplification even if that means it may take a few more clicks to get where you want to go in the game
As far as negatives, i don't think the overall lack of a strong narrative is a negative because i don't think that's the point of the game, it's a SoL porn game so it's about meeting and fucking all the girls and i think the characters are engaging.
The English is a bit stilted but definitely clear enough. The game does take a bit to get going and the MC probably gets interrupted a bit too much during sex scenes. It's probably realistic and i think it's supposed to be funny but it happens a couple times with nearly every LI and eventually it started to become a bit annoying. But once you get over the hump with a character the sex comes hot and heavy. Finally i think the dev is a bit too impressed with features and the game has a lot of impressive bells and whistles but i think it would benefit the player from an enjoyment and game play perspective if the game was a bit simpler and less cluttered.
At any rate a definite recommendation for people who like good dirty talk, Koikatsu models and don't mind a SoL sandbox without a strong narrative

I can't say the game is bad. It's got really good graphics, and the story is not too bad.

But.

I can't say the game is good either. Some spelling mistakes (small typos like 'Hocus' instead of 'Focus'), really badly writteen dialogue (one line of text: 'No, Im married!', literally 3 lines later: 'Its okay, we divorced') and other tiny details make it a bit of annoying.

Biggest problem of the game is, it paints itself as Sandbox, and it does have a rather good amount of locations, but the railroading is sometimes downright unbearable, like when you pick an option, only for 'dev' to smach you on the hand saying 'NO! This is NOT the option you should pick!'. It feels like the dev was too lazy to program outcomes other than those he wanted to see. As such, I think the game has very little replayability.

But It is definitely worth a try, it does have quite a bit of content. Just don;t expect much in terms of freedom of choice.

[EDIT]
Oh yeah, and it would help if the dev actually had sex before. I don't mean to virgin-shame anyone, but when I see two people about to have long-awaited sex engage in a lengthy discussion, I just roll my eyes. FYI people don't really talk much during sex. They're too busy having sex.

review based on 0.70 version
- good art quality- high polygonal, good filtration and good smoothing
- animation presents(maaany)
- very good base code
- ig hints presents
- end_of_content marked
- good ui
- good content amount
NEUTRAL:
- some story present, less than average... but cmon- its regular sandbox, who care
CONS:
- some dirt in all that graphics- lindas clothing cliping... bloody tears...
- scripts r heavy... i mean 2-3 sec lags after some actions like load/save
- no sandbox "classical" "side activity", only event replay

if u dnt need shakespearean story and u like good made sandbox games- my recomendation

I wasn't really expecting much with a game made in this format, but this game failed to deliver even the minimum.

The good things about this game are the renders but if you like these models and the system these renders are made with you'll already know how these are made. The other good thing is the different angles during H scenes. That's about it for the positives this game has to offer.

There is no story. There's like something there that is SUPPOSED to be story but it's really about nothing. You're supposed to take over your father's company but everything is pretty much done for you. The MC's mother is his right hand and she helps him along with his assistant and their investor and the rest is just "go here at this time and talk to this person and pick the only option that is pretty much allowed for you to pick."

Otherwise you're meeting the girls at specific times in specific places and getting specific events before you can get others and progress their storylines which are not that interesting at all. It's your run of the mill incest (if you decide to take it thought route).

So with the story lacking the game must make up for it in H-scenes right? Nope. You may have one, maybe two actual penetration scenes and the rest stem from either teasing, to blowjob, boobjob, or some other kind of job at the moment depending on the girl and you'll invest SO much time that it does NOT come easy.

The game doesn't really make you work so you don't really feel like there's grind, but be prepared to have your time wasted as you will be sleeping and skipping time ahead A LOT to talk to a specific woman. The game's made to be played where you're going for multiple women all at the same time, so if you wanted to just focus on ONE woman at a time or just one period then you're in for a pretty frustrating time.

Another thing, choices don't matter. Yes as I mentioned earlier you may have two or three different choices where the right one is obvious but there's not even a game over, you just trudge along either getting the same result or the MC will not go forth with your choice and you'll be forced to pick the right choice.

This along with the breaking the 4th wall constantly from the dev and trying to get immersed will become impossible if it hasn't been already. The other problems with what little bit of story or game there is, have already been pointed out so no need to reiterate here.

All in all if you have a lot of free time to waste and you like this art style and this dev then you MAY enjoy this game. If you come looking for a game, or a story, or a good flow of H scenes then you won't find it here unless you delude yourself into believing it's there. The game will blueball you and delude you into thinking you have choice and that it's trying to tell a story but it doesn't take itself serious at all.

I wish I could have those hours back....

Would be great if it fixes the script, its poorly done for incest. Please just dont do incest if its not going to make sense.

The models look great, one of the best for sure, but thats like the only good thing here.

Dev is a little too touchy for me (like too much direct narration) and it breaks lots of immersion for example in hints (It feels like hes beside you watching you playing and whispering you in ear on what to do ) .

Good Points
+ Render style looks pretty good for its own style (Koikatsu style)
+ On PC you can reach hints part wit ''Q'' button or you can use ''Pinned hints'' which gives hints like some walkthrough mods and you can even teleport directly to girls with using hints menu which makes things quite easy. Still ''Why its not VN?'' Or ''Why its not have VN mod?'' is important question and answer is probably giving player freedom, and without annoying walking around without knowing anyting i gues its succesfull.
+ Sex scenes different angles/positions and animations for them. And as for quality they do look good enough and have good enough physics aswell. Oh BTW we have cumming animations aswell.

Bad Points
- I realy love to see HUD size change option for Sandbox menu's and Textbox, right now HUD/IU looks little unnecesary big and it looks bad.
- Why Textbox have nearly same size version of girl/woman we are already talking? And why she is blinking same time with original one? Thats just looks weird and unnecesary. Textbox need big change and like i told it needs size change aswell.
- I'm not %100 sure about reason, but dialogues feels little bit cringy... It can be because of dialogues not well writed (which is main reason probably) but i dont think its fully because of poorly writed dialogues, having bad English translation (which i assume translation and writer is dont have English as a main language) literaly destroys game story telling. Without bad English translation game can be less cringy, because bad translation makes things hard to understand even incomprehensible. DEV seriously need to find someone with suited English knowledge for English translation. And honestly that doesn't makes sense at all, this game developing since late 2020's and we can see a lot of people told this problem, DEV should have fixed this problem already but he dont... What are you waiting for mate?
- Its bit slowburn... I gotta say i literaly spend hours for getting any scene with any girl and of course it was just silly handjob...

For The End
Well... What i can say? Even as a person don't use English as a main language i couldn't bear this game English level... Its unplayable espacily with those cringy dialogues... Its just sad, without cringy dialogues and this bad English translation i can say this game have his own quality to reach 4-5 star rate as a Koikatsu game, its have one of best looking Koikatsu renders, art style and animations i have seen but with all bad points i write its just un-playable... I hope DEV can two major problem i told in a future and people can enjoy this game well maked animations, renders and good looking characters. Normaly i would give 1 star but because of effort DEV spend animations and renders im gonna give 2 star and wish you good luck with fixing game problems.

V0.60

What can I say, amature writing with good Koikatsu renders.
THAT'S IT

The dialogue is really cringy, like REALLY CRINGY, to the point where I had to leave the game twice so I simply don't kill myself with how cringe it is.
The interactions between the characters is BAD, no humans on earth talks like that, it's really BAD with a huge sign of "STOP IT, get some help" BAD.

I like the renders tho, since this is my first Koikatsu style game I have to say the style is good. other that that there's nothing else to say.

TLDR: play the game for the renders and turn off your brain when it comes to dialogs and interactions.

Edit1: yea, it's really bad. it's written like an 18 year-old wet dream.
EVERY girl he meets fall in love with him, complement him of how handsome and sexy he's, how they're all ugly and just lucky that a smart, handsome, hot, (you get the idea) stud like him looks their way.
I rolled my eyes so much everytime anyone speaks to the point were I'm very close to seeing my brain.
BUT it have some good amount of renders so that's why I didn't reduced it to 1 star

V0.60

The render is one of the most beautiful koikatu render

Animation is smooth and got mini player to watch more detail of animation

Sandbox gameplay without grind and with hint

Sex scenes is hot

This game got great potential

I would rate it 4/5, and the only reason i didn't was one of these two guys below me who apparently was looking for the Witcher 3 of porn games here.

The game has quite a few issues, namely writing and pacing. Sometimes you progress with girls at a light speed, sometimes you are stuck with them at a certain stage for quite a few events, overall it's pretty chaotic. The writing would be decent, but i guess it's a victim of pacing.
There is a mention somewhere in the game that the city is full of old dudes or something like that, so you are apparently the only atractive male in vincinity, that would explain some things, but i'm propably reading too much into it as it was just mentioned in passing.

Porn/art/animation is good, even a notch above that.

Humour is fine, 80% of it was not for me, remaining 20% was decent, mostly memes on the laptop.
Story is ok, nothing amazing or deep, but somewhat unique. Not more or less than such a game needs, just right.
Out of all games here with convoluted story, i've seen maybe two of them do it right, in games like this simple story works better.

Overall 5/5.

My Office Adventures (0.50 version) was unfortunately a miss in my book. It has some interesting ideas, like the mini player that allows you to see animations from different angles, and it has a good starting point: a sandbox in which to manage your company and flirt with girls. Nice. Then you get to meet the girls and they are all just completely uninteresting, and story progresses with each of them in a way that makes little sense (your guardian's daughter passes from hating you in the beginning to thinking you are nice in literally one interaction, when you give her the book). The company management side of the game is lost as well, making it all a very generic sandbox which actually has little freedom in any case.

I like the character designs even though I'm not completely a fan of anime-like 3d, it still looks strange to me. Animations are nice. Music is there but I think it's pretty horrible.

All in all, the game misses its target, at least with me.

This game has a a couple of issues in my opinion:

The beggining is sort of slow, but seeing naked woman is super easy with the Xray button. (You will actually get a notification everytime you can use it, you will be prompted to use it)
The first handjob is super easy, its only 150 dollars what you can have the 2nd day. The character performing it its supposed to be the Tsundere, but i guess that trait lasts 2 minutes, after that she will be nice to you.

The incest option is cool that is there but it just doesnt work, is not well written into the game. When the mother is leaning on MC shoulder he says "i have never seen her so close"....Really? The "mother" talks with him about "my husband" and "my daughter" instead of other formulas where the mc can be part of it like "your sister". The incest is already setup when she mentions her husband. The aunt tdoes the same with her husband and her daughters whne the incest is already established, so its not well written.
And the husbands are a thing of their own. The sisters is divorced and maybe a virgin, The aunt is divorced, the mother i guess is also divorced? Why you know exactly the age of the MC and dont know the age of any of the girls? Apaprently they could all be 40, its hard to imagine a 20 year old divorced (well, conviniently bad writing i guess)

Another issue that i have with the game is the MC. He is a virgin white knight, speaks like one, and flirts like one. (yeah, knights havent been around for hundreds of years, so yeah he kind of talks like some Hamlet wannabe, its pretty cringy) "Your eyes are like sparkling amethyst pools, a man could drown in them"? CRINGE
People likes him or falls for him in instants, there is no much sense of achievement. They even call him smart for doing nothing, well its for something that happens off-screen. (Tell without showing, not good writing here)
Another issue that i have is that Eleanor that looks 18 XD or so is actually the mother of Clara, who looks older than 30 and much older than her according to koikatsu overall rules to determine age.
Another issue that i have is that most of the 2 option choices are actually 1 option choices so the game is pretty much linear, the sandbox so far is useless since in order to progress with some character you need to progress with the other, you can not chose one character and complete everything atraight away. This means that you will have to agree to pursue sometone you may not like, but the MC loves wholeheartedly.
Another issue that i have is that the Dev wont leave me alone for the first 40 minutes at least, he always has something to tell you, its making it really hard for me to get inmersed in the story.

The groundbreaking mini h scene player wasnt activated for the first handjob, which is as usual ,a default animation right after a small transition, but not enough to build up anything, since this Tsundere girl agreed to a handjob just like that, it doesnt even feel rewarding.

Another issue that i have is BIG TIDDIES everywhere, I mean, i like big tittes, but cmon, give me something different, every girls looks already pretty much the same with different face.

So this game is good on paper, but the satisfaction when playing it, it is so far very very low, its a big pile of issues interactin with eachother.
EDIT
I was gonna leave it at 2, cause the overall feeling is bad, but i an still play it hping for some changes. But it had to happen, THAT THING. It happened 2 times in a row with 2 different girls. SUBVERTED EXPECTATIONS. You try to have sex with her, but it turns out, you wont. And then again with the next one and it finishes with the enxt thing in the tier progression.
The first one was in the bowjob level, so the enxt thing was a boobjob, the last one was in the handjob, so next one had to be a blowjob. This blowjob costed like 1000 dollars total. An expensive blowjob i would say.

And that adds the next issue. The girl talks about her needs and stuff, repeatedly, and in the end, she is touched for some time, but she never finishes, and later she is like super happy, and the enxt conversations she talks about her needs again. This is definetly for kids, or people with criticism turned off

This game is a deep layered Dating Sim ( being the layers things that mask what i think its its actual nature). Very predictable. With the exception of the easy irl you wont get sex until you get the pet names, and even when you do, every sinelg time you will get interrpted, With every single one of the girls.

This is trash, dont play it,(well since the dev seems to be a decent guy, play it and decide for yourself) be warned its prety heavy for how short and predictable it is.

The game really is a massive upgrade in terms of everything compared to the last game. The renders are fantastic, the girls are great and all and all it's a very nice game to play .

Also really happy with the dev support I got, as he resolved all the issues I was having very quickly as well as added bunch of suggestions I had to help non-mouse users play .

One thing I would say that I didn't like is that the mc feels a bit like a whiny bitch...unable to control his urges and doing something despite others saying not to...not stopping even when asked to stop...getting annoyed when someone says they need time...jumping to unnecessary conclusions...so if the mc was not such an extreme like that I would enjoy the game even more

Anyways, still 5/5 stars for me and best of luck to the dev moving forward

Very promising start to the game (ver 0.40). The Coder brought in a few gameplay improvements that I haven't seen in many other Ren'Py games, like being able to pin locations and the mini player. Visuals are great if you're okay with a less realistic art style. I'm looking forward to see where the game goes.

From a visual standpoint the game is great. There isn't really any gameplay, but that's completely OK for a sandbox VN. Thanks to that grind isn't a problem, but replaced by waiting, because there is no option to make money yourself. Your daily income is based on character based progress, that is relevant for the company. The fact you can change the angle of every lewd animation is great. There is also the function for a little window to show the other angle the whole time, which is a very good idea. You also get regularly the option to see trough the clothes, which is also quite nice.

The two biggest problems the game has are the passing and the writing.
The passing is quite rushed, everywhere you go, every girl falls instantly for you. While it's brings you quickly to the pr0n aspect, it makes the characters flat and there arcs boring, simply because you got already what you want.

The other problem, the writing, goes here hand in hand with the passing. It's rushed and on the nose. The game has to make sure we know that everyone is into us. It gives us even speech bubbles that show us everyone thoughts, most of them could be handled better with boy language and better thought out dialogue. A lot of them are just straight up unnecessary. The bubble is also always the same size, so larger text goes over the corner. The writing isn't taking itself to serious, but in a bland flat way instead of Witt and pr0n logic is hard at work.

To be honest I would really like to rate the game worse, because of the writing, but I think that wouldn't be fair, yet the writing was hard to stand sometimes. It feels as it gets worse with time.

Sound not rated.

1. Sound 4/5
2. Art 5/5
3. Game Play 4/5

I really enjoy the game it has great animated sex scenes and the different pov during these scenes is well done. MC just says what he wants and does not beat around the bush so he is not a wimpy character. The updates do have quite a few scenes and can't wait for the next update.

Preface: I was going to throw dev a few bucks to support (buymeacoffee wouldn't take my card? I guess because dev is in India and I am stateside... literally hit "pay" and it said "nah fam" ha...) so while this is a 4 star review, I think this is a very promising title.

So, the reason this is not 5 stars is because it's still very early and therefor content is not quite fleshed out yet, and there are some minor bugs that I am sure are being resolved. With that aside, this game is amazing. I enjoyed this dev's previous title quite a bit. It had it's flaws but you can tell that the Dev realizes them and wants to become even better. I would say this game is on trajectory to be in the top 5% of H games on this site, in my opinion. Writing is well done, characters are very nice to look at and very well customized in Koikatsu, the animation and resolution is great, dev is adding advanced technical functionalities that are cool to see, story is interesting enough but does not detract from H content, fast travel and time-management are well done, scene replay and built-in guide are available from the start, etc. I have no doubts this will be a 5 star game in time.


Dev, it might be cool to keep an updated list like this avaialble on OP, let folks know what to expect before diving in:

V0.2 Scenes Available for Each Girl:

My review after playing verion 0.20
This is a very great game coming from the Developer of Lustful Awakening, if you love that game you will understand how good this game are: Good characters design, sex scenes was extremely hot, simple gameplay, fun story,... But best of all would be the idea of X ray vision in some scenarios, when you saw a Heart shaped symbol you could use it to see those women naked which is very unique system
If you saw this game please giving it a chance, download and play the game and I I guarantee it would be the best decision ever
Very enjoyable game and I can't wait to see more, a 5/5 game to me and deserve to be in the list of Good games worth to replay

Enjoyable game with well written dialogue, animations and likeable characters. Each character seems to be unique and unlike many games there's very few if basically any grammatical errors. Fully recommend the game!
