VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Offcuts [v0.3.1] [stencilbits]

A very nice little game. More of a romance visual novel than an adult/porn game. The visuals are very interesting. I liked the music too. It shows the developers put some thought and love in the project as a whole.

With that said the game's story felt pretty boring and all over the place. In my opinion it was really repetitive and I'm not quite sure what they were trying to accomplish with it. The characters were very meh. The good thing is it's all written in a humorous tone, tongue-in-cheek interactions and overall you shouldn't take the narrative too seriously. It has some funny moments, some cringe moments, some absurd moments and so on.

Offcuts it's definitely not your average adult vn and I respect the unique feeling the devs were going for. If it had a bit more polished adult content it would've been a 4.5/5 game, but as it stands currently it's a solid 4 stars. I won't play it again, since it's not my cup of tea, but I definitely recommend it. Play it and decide for yourself.

a cute game

Cute. There is no best way to describe it.
If you care about story and characters depth, this game is for you.

--- Chara Design :
All characters are lovely and likeable, even the cop. Their personality are well developped and kept consistent through the game, which is rare enough to mention. Regarding the design of the characters, well... it's cute. The faces are sometimes a bit strange, but the style is original.

--- Story/Background :
The story and dialogues are well written. There are a lot of texts, but still interesting and humoristic enough to read most of them. You have a common route that divides into different stories according to the girl you pick. Each path is pretty different. The story is kinda epic at times, kinda slow at other times. Well good job overall

--- Animations/Sex :
Not the best part of the game, as it is only pictures. The sex scenes are....cute...again...The outfits are nice tho'

--- Gameplay/Contents :
I was very surprised by the contents, each road is pretty long, don't expect to bash the game in 1 hour. Regarding the gameplay, well nothing special here, some choices here and there, only few matters, especially at the start of the game, as they will bring you to one of the girl road. Once you are in a road...well live with it xD coz you wont be able to change

I would like to put 4.5 stars, but as I can't, I will give 5 stars as I always encourage games that try to be a bit different and memorable.

For short, this is the game that will totally blow your mind. Definitely one of the best games around. The whole plot is awesome, which is the main reason why I like this game. You'll find yourself spending hours reading it and enjoying it while it's really humorous. The art style is unique and good too, I've never seen something similar before and I love it. I strongly recommend this game for those who are seeking for a decent story and great artwork.

Very good game with hours of content on a 0.2 release. The renders are very nice to look at and have a unique style that make them stand out. Also (I didn't expect this from a porn game) the story is very interesting and I would have still played through the while thing even with half the lewd content it has.

This game is so unique and soooooo sweet and innocent, a gem among all the pervertedness floating around regarding adult VNs. I think the maker's description on his patreon is quite adequate to describe it, in his words

"Looking for an adult visual novel with a story, romance and action? Or maybe you just enjoy the stylized art I'm currently playing around with? Dare you enter my magical realm full of jealous childhood friends, shy wallflowers, affectionate older women and aggressive rich girls? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you have come to the right place! "

I would like to say that the artwork is just magical (once you get settled) and the game hits all the emotional notes, humor, longing, sadness, hope, past, friendship and so on. Story is innocent, cute, and well maybe over the top cheesy, but I like it. And at this time i am playing its version 0.2, for quite some time now and it has got a lot of content, I am just dreading the moment when it is going to end and I will have to start waiting for another game added to my favourites.

What can I say? I’m in love in this game. I’m in love with the story (very well written), with girls (the design of characters is so warm and sweet). The music fits great. I don’t regret any second I spent in game. I feel sad for only one thing: that’s the game is over eventually.

To the developer: thank you very much. You make me feel so happy. Good luck and godspeed.

I was surprised by this game, I did not expect much going in, as I wasn't a huge fan of the art work, but turns out the game is excellent, one of the best on this site actually, an underrated gem, I am glad I tried it out, good story, excellent characters, great sex scenes and renders, and waaaaaaaaaay more content than most games .

Offcuts is well written, humorous and even cute at various times.
Good renders with a unique style that stands out among the other games here.
Definitely recommend and will follow updates for this game.
I played version 0.2 for what it is worth.

Artstyle is goddamn amazing, the first routes look promising. Let's look how the others turn out. This is finally something new and refreshing both in quality of images and story. If you have the time, try this out for sure.

This game is not what I expected - and in a good way.
Smallish in size, version 0.2 made me think the developer will only introduce characters, show the start of the main story, maybe add a few erotic scenes - the usual. Absolutely not.
Game's already got two fully developed story lines for two girls. Before you go for any route the girls may seem kinda cliche, the typical harem anime characters. But the work put in the development of their characters along the routes is astonishing, gradually opening more and more of them to the main character. I spent 2 evening on one of the routes, wasn't disappointed.
The graphics are great too. Style is unique, and while not realistic, is certainly appealing. And the "captures" or however they are called are on another level, you can see some of them on the first post.
Erotic scenes are to my liking, though the tastes in this regard can differ. Haven't encountered any bugs while playing, that's a plus too.

Problems are very few, especially considering that it's not a final version. Some inconsistency in the story line, a little bit of illogical situation development - the stuff that 99% of the games here have.

All in all, great game, worth spending time on. Certainly will be watching its development.

This is one of the best games on the site. The renders are unique, and I am happy with it because it's not the same girl used by hundreds of other VNs.
The amount of content in the game is astonishing. For a 0.2, I think this is game has more renders and content than full fledged VNs like Depraved Awakening or Acting Lessons.
The MC is pretty humorous, I actually like this MC instead of the generic hard ass or loser that we usually play in other games.
Each character has a unique personality.
The only shortcoming that I see is that choices don't matter much in this game. There are slight dialogue differences, but there is no change in story apart from the "main" choice. But I don't have a problem with that, the quality of writing makes up for it.
I wish the dev best of luck, because this is genuinely the most refreshing dating sim I have played in a while. If you remove the sex and publish it on steam, you could make pretty bucks.

I've gotta say, this one appeared from nowhere, to me. Just saw it on someone's sig. Didn't like the look of it, but it had a good score and many reviews, so there had to be something to it.

Played it, and yeah. Weird until you get used to the graphics. Still on the fence about those, but the writing (errors aside, which get fewer in time) is brilliant!

Seemed good from the beginning (clichés, but expected plot tick-boxes), and got much, much better from there.

If it looks like a 'harem-maker with bad graphics' and you're undecided, I highly recommend this.

After I made my Big Choice (Nina FTW), I found myself laughing with tears running down my face at more than one moment. Quite unsightly for a guy with a beard, I'm sure.

It hits you where you don't expect it. I'm a fan and I understand this game's score much better now. And I've not even finished Part 1.

From the story's humor and pacing alone got me hooked while the character models actually looked like they got 'character' rather than just lazy copy paste the default sprites in modeling programs. Well done!

This is a funny, interesting and hot VN. Despite being 0.2 there are several hours in this. It's not a barely-started project. There are already 2 full paths.

Frankly, the game could be considered done and the other paths as "Expansions".

While the beginning is a bit slow, the pace and interesting stuff picks up and up and up with jokes, sex and action. The characters are interesting and funny.

Easily worth the 5 stars.

I feel nostalgic. This game brings all the good memories from classic Japanese dating sims.

We have some classic dating sim tropes, too. And still, it manages to stay original in its own way. Good laughs and lighthearted atmosphere are guaranteed.

This game should be on "must play" list for every member of F95zone.

perfect renders and funny, interesting storyline with alot of branches. nice redheads and interesting characters. really one of the best games on this site. looking for updates as for more characters / branches. currently lacks of animation

great game, i am in love with the characters and writing the dev/dev team behind this is/are doing a great job only complaint would be an extra character image at times like when the baking soda exploded etc would of been nice to see it just to help the image in the story kinda, maybe im just spoiled haha anyways if the dev/s see this keep up the great work!

so far so good. good pace for actual updates.
the story might be a bit generic at the beginning. but it's told in a good way. keeping you interested.
the art style is quite unique. and the CG models are quite expressive. which bolster the story and gives more personality to the characters.

maybe the only downside is that the portrait images. don't match their cut scene counterparts well. (small inconsistencies like Kate's hair)
and that is the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5

The game graphic is a piece of art ! It's great !
The story is great too and It can entertain you for a long time.
In my experience , most of the choices weren't important and didn't change anything.
Overall : It's great and give it a try.

Fantastic game, great writing and good art. The characters are personable, and there is some really good character development. It is still a VN, so the pace can be a bit slow for my taste at times, but it's still definitely worth a playthrough!
