VN - Ren'Py - New Beginnings in Japan [Ch.2 v.0.6.4] [Shikharsfree]

The renders are good quality and that caught my eye at first.
But the game is so bad after this initial catch.

FIrst is the text. I'm not a native english speaker, but many sentences feel like they aren't right, are missing words, ponctuation signs... and are, in short, unintelligible.

Then there is the plot. It starts quick. With that, there is no problem. Mother and daughter go to a hotel... then the mother goes away, someone steal a bag in the room... no consequence.
A friend comes to drop another bag but doesn't take 15 seconds to say hi. The friend just is thinking "I'll meet her later!" ... ??? why? why didn't she spend 5 minutes to wait for the girl to open the door and find her and the bag?
No in the game, just the bag is there, ...

Then the mother is at some place, and speak with a ... lawyer? about divorce from her drunk husband, but the lawyer says she has to get rid of the evidences of the fact that her husband is an alcohol addict for the incoming divorce? Why? it makes not sense!

And from that point, it was a serie of unintelligible events, with good looking backgrounds and girls in it, but the story? none.

And I may be odd, but when I play a visual novel, story is a very important thing. It doesn't need a solid plot. A simple "house of sex" plot is good but there is a real need for a story. It shouldn't be random scenes following without reason.

And alas, that games didn't provide it so... 2 stars. I hesitated to put 1 star but the visuals are too good for 1star only.

This is one of the best VN, it as everything I want in it.

Top quality writing – the story/plot is interesting and original. The characters (male and female) are fascinating, believable, relatable, consistent in their actions and motivations and not one dimension (even for the awful evil dad )

Professional rendering - the general composition and dynamic of each scene/sequence (lighting, angle, perspective) are striking, diverse and well polished.

The female characters are gorgeous <3

Choice that matter – it is kind of a corruption game (I’m generally not a fan of) but it feels different… its hard for me to describe but its not a slut simulator I’ll tell you that much. Everything up to this point make sense and is realistic (in my eyes at lease)

Even though Kiara is bisexual, she not constantly drooling over guys. Which is a big plus for me. There is a lot of Sapphic content - even bigger plus for me

The only negative for me is the occasional “surprise dicks” here and there, especially in the beginning. A “lesbian mode” could skip those scenes automatically but you would lose some part of the plot… which is worse. I know I’m one of the only who have a problem with that so I don’t think is worth the effort (and its possibly game braking/save corrupting? idk)

All in all, I love this VN and you should definitively give it a try.


Azumi is my bae she so cute and precious <3 ok bye

really love this game maybe the location took place at japan so i kinda love it. keep up the good work @Shikharisfree ignore the haters hopefully you can keep up the good work as always sorry i kinda bad giving review cause this is my first time to leave a review regardless keep them coming for more quality contents

What the fuck , I did not expect that lol , on god this is some pro level shit.

This is actually one of the most well written stories I've played on here period , Right up there with fashion biz in terms of quality of renders as well.

You're doing good shit dev , Keep it up .

Content currently is more story focused but has enough porn to satisfy the average person, however I can't wait for the incest and romance sex scenes <3

My only gripe is that the grammar issues need correction , If you could hire a proofreader and get it fixed up then it would be perfect.

Ignore the dumbasses bruv , you got my sub and my approval , Make what you love!

This is one pure gem of a Games (visual novels). Graphics is very good and the story is excellent.
This is probably one of the best corruption game. It may seem slow at the beginning but it soon take the pace and is going in right direction. In beginning it looks like there are too many characters, but as the story unfolds they all fit just right.
I especially have to praise how the cosplay / photoshooting scenes were made. Too bad there aren't more scenes like that or I'm too impatient to wait for them.
And not to forget to praise how the clothes for the female characters were done. Traditional Japanese costume is combined with modern trends and it looks so good that it cannot be described in words, it has to be seen.
The game has some minor spelling mistakes, but the story is so good that it can be ignored.
The best thing is that it is developing pretty fast, it's probably the only game that I'm sure it will be finished while I'm still young
I don't know if is one guy or a team but it is a hell of good work. Keep it up.

I really wanted to like this game and I actually really like the models and the story. What drags this game down is a few things. First, the story switches around way too much. I don't mind playing as multiple characters, but this one has way too many. You make choices as the mom, the daughter, the secret agent, the cousin, the sister, etc. It just gets to be too much and too confusing. I was hoping that I would get to stay as the main girl. The point system is also weird and stupid. There was a point where I flirted with one of the LI and then found out that increasing the points of one LI decreased the other for some reason. That doesn't make any sense. If you want the game to ultimately end with a single LI that's fine with me. I am flirting with multiple people though, so it should build up with everyone. Just cause I flirt with one person does not undo the flirting with the other person. There are a bunch of spelling mistakes and weird inconsistencies. There are points where you are offered a job and the dialogue says it pays either 100 or 350, then the choices come up and it's between 200 and 500 or something like that. It happens multiple times during the game and just shows poor attention to detail and editing. Overall, this game feels like the dev is just making it in a hurry and doesn't care if things make sense or are consistent. Also it's looking like there are going to be certain storylines or choices that will not be up to the player that I think should be. This game looks good but doesn't have any substance to back it up. This game had so much potential but it seems like it won't be realized.

There is not many female protag games that I can honestly say, I enjoy and I support for the future of the game

The story, is unique, this is not the normal copy and paste game, it has a decent story with a backstory and a future story, the scenes with the mc are very well made, I honestly can say, the mc story and her path and what you choice for her along the way, gets me immersed with her story, I care what happens with the choices I make for her

There are scenes that got me hooked on the game with t he concepts of the scenes and the story and the writing that I have not seen before within any female protag games as of yet, all of which are all well put together

Best part of this game is the multiple paths you can take, with different scenes and story for each path, which is why you can replay it with different choices and get different story each time

I support games that gets me immersed within the story, this is one of them, I proud to be a patreon for the dev as I do believe in Kiara and her story and the game in full.

This is a game that you should try! I am a sucker for white women in an Asian world, i like AMWF as well so I thought this game is right up my alley. What I got was so much more, not just AMWF but an intricate plot that pulls you in right away.

Everything I have seen so far makes me really hopeful for the future. Especially if there are bad endings / bad paths for the protagonist. We can all agree the Dad is a major asshole / psychopath but I like rooting for them from time to time especially if they are as self destructive as he is.
I dont know if that is the end game but some upcoming events suggest this might be the case.

If this will follow only this path is probably the only (bad) thing I can see at the moment. For me it would not matter, sure I would prob play a good guy save but I primarily want the drunk dad to dominate everyone. Some are not into that stuff and I hope the dev accounts for that and leaves good paths in for people more into lovey dovey stuff and the good guys winning. At this point he has the means to do both and to do them well. My preferred way would be a split good / bad path and while this means more content it is probably worth it down the line. A game like this can really be a long term thing and does not have to be rushed to be finished by the end of the year, but with good communications and frequent updates I dont mind games spanning 3-5 years.

This is another big plus. The dev seems hugely involved here and answers all the time. This is a rarity and should warrant applause alone.

Keep it up, I can only recommend this game.

I really like this game so far and the renders are good too.
I wish the game had some kind of money system if I am earning money from cosplay and streaming to spend it on buying some lewd costume which increases my corruption or chances of getting groped.
Lastly I wish the game has more groping scenes

Review for the version current version Chapter 2 v0.3

Very good looking game with decent characters and good story so far , game was confusing at the start however picked up a little better by midway.

Pros :

Nice renders , quality is very nice
Good animations
Interesting main character
Cute and hot girls both

Cons :
Story little confusing at start
Slow buildup
Money system not integrated?


Overall I am excited for next version but i would like more focus on lesbian.

v0.3

The renders look good, but everything else below par.

Not even the renders can save it because there is no consistency. You see the MC and her mother, and her mother looks like she's younger than the MC. Ditto for her aunt.
All female characters are sort of copies of each other visually. All are big boobed women of similar age even though the story suggests there should be a couple of decades in age difference between some. Male characters have been seen before in other games, and the top WTF moment was when I saw an exact copy of Bruce Lee.

Story is bad. It is chaotic, and hard to follow. It doesn't make much sense. We are introduced to way too many characters who are only puddle deep.

Great start of the game. Can't wait for the next update and love the plot so far. Hoping there is a Kiara/Mia, Kiara/Xia, Mia/Xia or all 3 together scene in the future lol. Only got 2 complaints and one is that there's too many scenes starting off as groping/sexual harassment which is fine but needs more stuff mixed in. Also missed the background music that was in CH1, it helped me get more invested into the story of the game than I normally would for porn games. Still was invested in CH2 despite the lack of music but the music in CH1 helped set the mood and made everything better.

Review for Chapter 2 0.1

Game is very interesting along with a lot of beautiful girls. Beginning is confusing a bit, but makes up for it further in the game.

Pros
-Great graphics
-Great girls
-Writing is interesting
-Nice scenes

Cons
-Story is a little confusing
-Needs more content and variety
-Has spelling and english issues that need correcting

Other than that, this game is really really good. I am looking forward to creator provide more content for game.

In this game we follow the story of Kiara, who moves to Japan to start a new life. But there's also the stories of numerous other people, that are in some way intertwined with the main protagonist.

This makes for a very interesting albeit somewhat confusing start. New characters are introduced without much background information.
If you read carefully you can put some pieces together and follow the story without much trouble. However it can be confusing anc chaotic to some.

At one point I confused Veronica and Valentina with each other (similar names) and I kept wondering why her hair changed color every time

A good idea would be to add a compendium of all the characters and their relationship to each other and Kiara. The compendium could be updated with the choices these characters make (or rather the choices you make for them).

As for the story, despite the confusing start I think it's very well written and executed. Some clever humor as well, which I greatly appreciate.

I don't know which direction this will game go, but assuming from what I played it seems there's different LI's for Kiara (both male and female) as well as a corruption system. The LI's look all very interesting, so that's a big plus.

There's also a bunch of (storywise less important) bad guys, mainly perverts who grope the main characters, which then leads to a choice (endure it/tell him off). I think this is in the game to appeal to certain players, and/or to to be able to rise the corruption meter.
However I think these bad guys are too cliche and cardboard characters. Given how well the 'decent' males are written and fleshed out, I'm sure the writer(s) should be able to make these bad guys more interesting than the usual pervert trope.

My biggest gripe with this game is the language. Wrong and missing punctuation, wrong use of capital and lower case letters, a lot of spelling mistakes and the use of sms language (ikr, btw, ffs, idk, sup, ...). It feels like it's hastely and sloppy written. This is in stark contrast with the good quality of the other aspects of the game.

So, to round it up, all in all a very good game so far.
Would love to give it 4,5 stars, but since that's not possible I'll keep it at 4 for now.

Well after play 2 chapter i feel this is like a combine story and maybe in one time they will merge into one crucial path. The story is good the complexity is still make sense to the story itself, and hope more to the characters development because the model is so good. For me personally It's feels like the MC is MIA just because she is more fit to the tragic story of her life. So keep up the good work and thank you for making this.

Lots of really hot characters and there's quite a bit of content for a brand new game. Thus far, this game seems more like a kinetic novel than a traditional game. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it would be good to know going in as I do prefer to play games with some degree of choice. The Chapter 2 preview does seem to suggest that there will be more choices available in the future, though, so that's promising.

Nice render, nice characters, but the story is absolutely chaotic. The change between the places/countries/persons is to much. I expected a story out of the view of a female MC not out the view of x other persons, too. Especially not if they have nothing to do with anything that happens to the MC at that moment. A flashback why they meet when MC and the other char meet the first time is okay, but the story is at the moment really exhausting to read.
