VN - Ren'Py - New Antioch [R0.4 Public] [TheRedMyst]

Great game so far. Very strange story and setting, but fun if you just roll with it. The H-scenes are excellent, the models are varied and attractive. Some may be bothered by how easily charmed the women are by Mateo, but I don't mind that at all. Looking forward to seeing more.

R0.4 Public review

This game needs a textbox opacity slider, critically. It is not a problem all the time, but it is a problem often enough to really bug/hurt my eyes.

This game is bizarre as hell. There's a lot of weird anachronisms in the story and envs that it felt like the author moreso just took whatever was lying around in his asset folder and slapped it together, editing the story later on to make it "work", the good old Todd Howard Special.

The game steals nearly wholesale from other shows and movies, most notably Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Walking Dead, and others. It really brings me out of any sense of immersion, especially with the Deus Ex style "debate" scenes, which were not explained or tutorialized at all.

Didn't notice the netori tag, really not my thing.

I will say that while this game is bizarre and wylding the fuck out, and the plot moves at fucking hyperspeed, it's not a bad plot. It's not really original, and is pretty derivative in parts, but it's well written, and has some very interesting plot threads. It watches a LOT like an HBO show, and I would assume that would be the preference of the dev, rather than a ren'py game, but, budgetary concerns are what they are.

Holy mcfuckamole dude's dick is impossibly big, he would literally suffer adema if he ever got horny. I mean, at least there's an explanation for it, but christ alive, no wonder there's a breeding problem if pussies in this world are meant to take that fucking molerat.

The MC is kind of a fucking scuzzball. It's bad enough he's just Adam Driver with a stress beard and an extra decade, But he basically just walks into a situation, or a room, knocks everything over with that molerat in his pantaloons, and walks out with more power, agency, and bitches than when he started. This is probably the weirdest and also biggest power fantasy I've ever seen in a VN. He's just a wrecking cock, swinging around the world. Little care for anything that isn't him or his mission.

Graphics are great, poses are solid and the characters are very believable by appearance and such. Almost all of the women are fantastically gorgeous (especially Azaeze and Mila)

I'm only giving this a lower score because of how derivative and bizarre this game is. I wish I could give it higher. 3.8/5 overall.

The story is truly fascinating


The LIs are also amazing, each with their own personality

The post-apocalyptic setting also opens up a lot of choices

I'm really interested to see where the visual novel goes because it's truly fascinating

In a modern age of H VN's, standards continue to increase (and often dev times along with it). Newer games do not compare to older games when they started but older games after years of work.

New Antioch is a game in a post-apocalyptic setting, that sits both in high tech future land, as well as in something close to a Viking show. Some people said the stories is slow, rather it is slow in the H department, but I found it intriguing, right up until around the change of the chapter.

It's mildly incredible how quick the switch flips, where the main character goes from a hero of yore, to flopping out of a box into jail. However, even before this, he stops his would-be assassin with a DnD game? As a dev myself, it felt like a huge waste of time and renders to do all of that, while the renders to impress me.

This game, while having strengths, feels tonally inconsistent, where the serious moments do not weave well with the outlandishly funny, (they did well to start,) to where I was thinking, yes, this is the new game to watch, before derailing with a very out of the blue scene.

The setting is also hard to describe as it's very hard for me to get over a man running around in what looks like a red suit of armor, to then see the daughter in straight up yoga pants, or a woman in a fancy doctor office. It is entirely anachronistic, and does not meld together well.

By around this point in time I checked out to look for H scenes as well, to find that it's somewhat limited, with a lot of them focusing on the man more than the woman.

In all regards, the game is quite good, if not passable, taking the formula set by previous games and succeeding upon it, but not necessarily surpassing it. However these tonal and style flips really take a reader out of the story.

I didn't know anything going into this game and was really pleasantly surprised! There are only a few sex scenes in the beginning of the game, but the story turned out to really keep me involved instead, and as the game ramps up so the scenes. Speaking of which, the scenes are super hot, especially in the later episodes, of course the models are beautiful! That being said, I think I actually got harder looking at the map haha! The dev has created good lore for this universe and has enhanced that with a really cool world map that got me hard as a brick. I'm gonna go support this dev!

good fucking game so far, immersive sounds wish there were some in every scene, really good cgi, really solid animations, the story goes hard, characters are good, not really anything left for me to say. hope this continues

[v 0.4]

Magnificent game. I'm glad I found this gem somewhat late, so I could play the new update.
Awesome story, pretty renders, characters that are well-written.
I've played a lot of VNs here, but this one has probably the greatest potential to get into the "top tier" of VN world.
It's actually a shame that its not blowing up so far... Deserves way more attention.

Story 10/10 netori gods have blessed us with netori perfection can't wait to cuck the villain also great pacing and story progression doesn't waste your time

Art 10/10 great renders with good emotion in faces

Content 10/10 if you love netori that is
Juicy in all it's glory say no more
Also a lot of content for 4 updates

I can't wait for this to cook and become a top game in site ,I hope more people know about it
Cherry on top is harem content that is coming , can't wait........

Very good game. Production quality is very good and the environmental details stand out in particular. There isn't that much adult content in the current version, but what's there is pretty good. As for the story, I would rate it as very good so far - some reviewers have criticized the characters and I would say in my opinion that this is mostly unwarranted. This is an adult VN, after all - porn logic is to be expected and it doesn't really go overboard here. Furthermore, the worldbuilding is very good and goes some distance towards establishing reasons for different sexual mores than modern day earth. If I had to to give a criticism of any character, it would be Javier. With Luciana's relationship her side of it makes sense with regards to her insecurities and mental troubles and so on. What doesn't make sense is Javier - he has exactly zero attractive or redeeming qualities. Usually in such a relationship stereotype some indication of the man's worth - or past worth - is left so it makes a degree of sense and justifies the present scenario. Why does Luciana put up with such a useless guy? It doesn't really pass the smell test for me. Also, I don't really believe the imperatrix would let a favoured daughter and important asset languish in such a state for any amount of time at all. Faustina is shown as a calculating, ends justify the means sort of person even when it comes to personal relationships but seemingly not in relation to Luciana.

Great game and good amount of content considering its only been out a year. Not a particularly unique plot but its well executed and the characters are very well written. Definitely more of a plot game than porn game

Great! I really liked how the story and the characters were revealed.
The technical part also great, there is room for improvement in the action scenes, but in general there are top renders.
Thanks to the developer, we are waiting for further events and story progress.

Really good VN, with a very engaging story, complex and interesting characters, and really good art. The mc is strong and has porn game powers, but he isn't overpowered, he goes through hardships and conflict. The girls are hot, each has her own personality and there's enough variety to sate a lot of different tastes. I'm enjoying this game a lot so far and i wish the creator the very best of luck in the development process

Version 0.4

The game has amazing renders and animations, there are also music and sounds that help set the tone and the atmosphere of the story.
The main character is a human being with a believable behaviour given his upbringing which is alway a plus. The other characters are interesting and different from each other.
The love interests are 5 (with at least one more incoming) and while they're all really hot they're also quite varied, endearing and behave as normally as possible (given the setting and the situation).
Another thing that I particularly appreciate is the fact that the dev is present in the thread to interact and explain and releases are punctual and with a good amount of content.
Congratulations to the dev and I hope the support and the number of fans will continue to grow!

It's a really good game, one of those that finds a good balance between H-scenes and story. I really like the MC, and the updates are pretty well divided, they don't end in a cliffhanger that makes you mad for a few months, but let you see what will be done in the future.

I hope the fanbase continues to grow because this game deserves it. Congrats to the dev.

Goated one. Interesting plot, story is fresh and different from what we see in most AVNs. Top quality renders and animations. The build up for sex scenes is osm and well executed. And man, the models look so fine and sexy.

Great story, great renders, witty, knowledgeable, erotic... I really can't think of too many better AVN's than this. A 5-star rating is not something I give lightly (I've seen them bestowed on way too many mediocre games), but this one deserves it. Even without the sex, the story is compelling -- and the sex is neither lacking nor too much. It's the Goldilocks game -- it's just right!

I dont really drop reviews but i think this game needs more exposure actually interesting story to the point where i came to fap and wasnt really borhered about it by the time i got into it, not just thack but the tension between the characters is great interesting sex scenes in how they come about luciana's sex scene is top tier, lots of potential, i cant see this becoming anyhting less than great for 4 chapters aswell i think theres a decent balance of both story and sexual content, where you constantly feel like youre building towards something either plot wise or for sexual gratification with a pay off that feels worth the build up alot of games mess that up where theres loads of build up and tension in the sake of forgoeing the story and plot and all you gert is a shitty tease scene, this game doesn;t make that mistake, each character feels unique and real, take Enzo, at first his personality quirk seems ver jarring but as the the story immediately shows you it makes complete and total sense as to why he is that way. the story is very big on show not tell which is why the writing in this is some of the best ive seen albeit yes it falls prey to a few VN archetypes, nigh cliche's but the execution and quality of them makes it a non factor in my opinion great game cant wait to see where it goes

(Version Reviewed: R0.4)

Pros:
+ Very interesting premise and central plot
+ Latest lewds were top quality! (Not just in the visuals. In a lot of script elements too.)
+ Attractive MC and LIs
+ Different endings
+ Feels like it's high stakes: MC's life does feel like it's at risk occasionally
+ Suitable music
+ Great scenes where the MC has to either negotiate or fight opponents based on some pre existing info. Good bit of gameplay imo.

Can't Complain, Can't Say I'm a Fan tho:
= MC is chadest of chads. Most other men are limp dicked losers. Problem with almost every AVN, so can't say that it's a con. Although, the game could tone down on the rhetoric about the MC's superiority.

Cons:
- Renders and animations look a little rough at the beginning
- Some renders try to show the end result in quite an obvious way. Could trust in the player's intelligence a little more.

Overall: Quality game that deserves more attention! Has a plot that is likely to interest players who are looking for something more than a quick fap. Fair amount of gameplay time to keep you engaged.

Rating: 9/10

More of this, please. It's already becoming one of my most-awaited games to continue playing. Definitely deserves more attention than it is getting, though. Idk why it's not as popular as it should be, but I think it's only a matter of time. Hopefully.

This was fantastic. Great plot development, characters that feel real (bar the cartoonified ones) and great renders as well.

My only complaint is that you don't feel like a protagonist when you're playing this game. There's the MC and there are choices, but so far, the MC has been living in jail and fighting for his freedom in an arena, you've barely made any difference or any choice that makes an impact.

You spend most of the current content (in R0.3) watching other characters and I guess that's mostly because there's not much going on with the MC since he was in jail and in the arena for most of it. Hopefully, now that he's out, you'll get to make more impactful decisions and feel more like a protagonist.

The above would usually be a deal-breaker for me, but I'm still rating this 5-stars because there's just that much quality in the game. Give us more protagonist in the story and this game is shaping up to be one of the greats.
