VN - Ren'Py - Naomi: Breaking the Queen Bee [Act 2 P1] [Saf-Tea]

What can I say? It has all the potential to be a masterpiece if the dev continues offering the same level of quality. And, judging from the difference between the first and second chapter, he seems to be raising the bar constantly as he learns more. It is his first game and already the level of quality makes it easily stand out against games from seasoned developers.

The H scenes are amazing and long, with very good framing and animations - not your cookie cutter HS built in ones.
And, instead of just moans we get a perfect insight into Naomi's head and the turmoil within, which for me at least makes everything so much more enjoyable.

The prose is really good, we get a ton of micro expressions fitting the dialog and an amount of renders that makes hitting 'auto' and letting it play just as enjoyable as watching a well directed movie. Not just walls of text with a single render as a background.

Only thing I am not exactly sold on is the way the narration is presented as coming from Naomi - maybe the dev means for it to present as a diary from future Naomi, but so far it feels the information would be better served as coming from an unseen narrator. Is it annoying enough to dock a star or two? Hell no.

Oh yes - sound. Music is very fitting, sound effects are fitting and I don't mind the fact that there are no pre recorded sex sounds so far since that means I can have it playing on the speakers without worrying. If the dev adds those, keeping them in the 'voices' channel, if possible, would help that being the case in the future.

Can't wait to see where it goes!

Brilliant first release! Good writing, proper pacing, good renders and animations. The story is interesting, and the MC is kinda a complete nutcase. But the humiliation aspect is satisfying and the story building kinda makes it feel a bit justified. The fact that the story gets told from both perspectives is also a major plus, as it increases the immersion quite a bit.

I was hesitant to try this game out, as it looks like generic VN Renpy stuff that's a dime a dozen on F95. But the stellar reviews convinced me otherwise... and I'm glad I did. So here I am adding another one to help a potential reader.

But this one hits a perfect medium with just enough story and characterization to make it interesting but not too much to bore a reader to death. There's exactly enough to keep a reader guessing about other NPCs without overstaying with excess exposition or mundanity.

At the core, it's basic corruption kidnapping but done is a more believable and interesting way. Hint for other devs: Involving the corruption of the mind is always key for a 5/5!

What takes this over the top is all the love and care put in the animations. There's a ton of them, I felt so spoiled. And they're all hot too!

Now we just have to escape the abandonware curse! It looks like the dev is reading everything so my advice is to not take on too much. It's better to polish a game than to keep adding on stuff. Save the ideas for game #2 and focus on Naomi!

Saf-tea is now instantly my favorite dev. Great execution on the premise thus far, so hot. Perfectly integrates my favorite elements of the genre with some solid dialogue and narrative storytelling and the actual designs and animations are hot!!

The concept of the game is pretty unoriginal. However...the execution makes it so captivating. As of now (Act 1), it's a highly anticipated slave-trainer VN that is waiting to be served on a silver platter instead of the usual plastic bag.

I tried the first chapter, and although short, there's enough here to get me very excited about this kinetic novel. And yes, it is a purely kinetic novel, as confirmed by the dev. There will be no choice and that's okay. This is the dev's first game and I think setting a smaller, more manageable scope was a really smart decision. The lack of choice isn't turning me away from this game. Naomi instantly joined the small number of titles on my watchlist when I finished the first chapter and I'm really looking forward to the next installment.

There is so much to like about the direction the game is headed but it definitely targets very specific kinks (more on that later) and your enjoyment of those kinks will almost entirely inform your enjoyment as a viewer.

Naomi is a bratty, sadistic, domineering 18 year old high school girl who terrorizes everyone around her. She's a delinquent and really mean to people, especially men. Her character model is also pretty hot.

One of her teachers kidnaps and imprisons her with plans to 'train' her and correct her behavior. He plans to do this through mental conditioning and the way it's implemented is both creative and hot.

This is why I say the game targets a very specific kink. The entire story is about brainwashing Naomi through a combination of drugs and mental conditioning in order to turn her into a submissive slut instead of a dominant bully. The entire thing hinges upon kinks like domination, submission, humiliation, training, drugs, and brainwashing. If you like those kinks, you will absolutely 100% love this title. If you don't like those kinks, well, there are many other titles out there.

I should mention it seems there are some more extreme aspects coming in future chapters related to toilet stuff, but these elements can all be toggled on or off in the menu, which is a huge relief.

There is not much explicit sexual action yet but the scenes are still hot. It's very psychological currently but it still hits pretty hard in terms of eroticism.

I wanted to drop a review because I think this game has a ton of promise. If you like the tags, check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I think Naomi is already one of the best games in the hardcore bdsm/brainwashing genre.

Amazing, just amazing. Hats off to one of, if not the best, games in the BDSM training genre. Even though it is still at its early stage, it already has around 2 hours of content.

The MC is actually a hero in his own story instead of some brain rot sadists, and Naomi offered real resistance.

Highly recommend, must play if you enjoy the BDSM genre.

ACT 1 is really good to read and watch, thank you for your work, hope you can continue like this or even get better // but ACT 1 is a masterpiece, I'm excited to see what happens next and wish you all the best

What's there right now is incredibly promising. The female models are great, the animation is fluid, and though the plot may not be Oscar worthy, it's still good enough to set up Naomi's training.

Act 1 is long enough to give some great content, and it doesn't feel like you're missing everything by turning the "filthy" fetishes off. The next update will supposedly allow you to choose individual fetishes to disable as opposed to all or nothing, which will definitely be a welcome change.

I found the dialogue and descriptions to be a little on the nose (a little too much telling, not showing) and the "fall" so far has felt more like magic than grounded, but overall it was good.

Not too much content yet but hopeful for the future.

Honestly this first Act was so incredibly good. I can't wait for more to release. I'm actually kinda sad I found this project so early on in its development, because now I need to wait for the next Acts lol.

4/5
Excellent start, good potential here. My two complaints are that the animations aren't very good, and I wish the togglable fetishes were separated apart, so I could for example only turn off scat content.

Definitely one of the strongest initial releases I've downloaded in a long time. graphics are very well-made and the main girl is extremely hot. I'm honestly personally not a huge fan of some of the exact subject matter of the first act of the story (her brainwashing scene in particular just doesn't really scratch my itch) but it was so well-done that I don't honestly mind all too much, which is saying something. And that's really more just about my own personal kinks, I'm sure if people are into that shit they'd be eating extremely well for this game. Looking forward to having a new strong maledom-focused game to instadownload when future updates come out.

Wow, just wow, it's been a while since I played a novel as good as this one in the first release, it was awesome, the story is really well done, the characters have a good story and the graphics are superb, looking really forward for the next release (a shame I found this gem on the first release and not in the last release).

one of the best release i've had seen in a while! My first ever review and i'm stoked waiting for the next update! I'm supporting the creator by making this review as he doesn't have a patreon yet! humble creator!

Excellent story telling with steady payoff, the character models and art style is a bit out there with color choices but that's what fantasy is for.
I'm excited to see where it goes but also concerned that such a strong start means updates will be few and far between.

EDIT AFTER Act 2: It's completely unacceptable that this game isn't finished yet. Cannot wait for more. For the reasons mentioned below this is the new best VN on this site. Saf-Tea, you rock.

The uniqueness and thoughtfulness of the scenes here are second to none.

If you enjoy the idea of breaking a dominant brat into a submissive slave, you'll get a kick out of this. Super stoked about the potential kinks mentioned too.

Similar to Nympho Tamer with some vibes from Insight of You too - two of my favourite titles.

Seriously. Cannot wait for the next installment and the increasing depravity that comes with it.

The consistent updates on development is very encouraging and it's nice to see a dev that isn't milking their patrons. Saf-Tea is doing this as a passion project, the game is completely free. Track it, enjoy it, and find a way to buy the dev a coffee.

Amazing for a first release.
Great visuals and animations.

Love the character designs.
The choice of music is quite good.

Great potential, hope the next act comes soon.
I hope we get to break this brat into a worshipful sex toy.
