VN - Ren'Py - Office Perks [v0.0.7p] [Amomynous Games]

I've no real complaints here.

The writing is decent enough, maybe not best in class but certainly a cut above a lot of the dreck that I wind up playing. I think its to the games benefit that there isn't much if anything in the way of descriptive writing, it's all dialogue.

I think a lot of devs forget about the VISUAL part of the term 'visual novel' and they wind up using a lot of words to describe things that would be better shown. Especially since on average y'all put out better renders than you do quality writing. No offense intended.

Speaking of, the renders are great. Animations are absent, which I'm fine with. I'd rather no animations than bad animations and quality stills beat any animation any day in my book.

Music exists and is generally serviceable, though you won't be missing anything if you decide to mute it.

Honestly my only complaint and it ain't really a complaint, but boy do I wish this were a harem game. Kudos to the dev for not going that route, but also damn them for making characters I like so much that I wish we could. Really I think all the girls are great and eventually having to pick just one is already stressing me out.

ANYHOO. Good stuff. It's well worth a look.

Where do I begin? The dialogues are so robotic that it looks like the author literally asked an AI, "Write some flirtatious lines for me."
Every "woman" falls for the MC and needs to musterbate every time they talk to him. The dev probably don't have any women in his life, family or otherwise, cus that's not how women behave or talk.
Then you have the general "story" filled with clichés, the coworker, the coffee shop barista, the neighbour and may be other I gave up on it. The MC has to go "Oh, she has a nice ass" or something 0.00009 milliseconds after meeting a woman that's now real people think after meeting someone new, but maybe that's just me.
But the renders are solid, even though every woman looks flawless silicon dolls, but that's every VN nowadays, all characters must have double D's and a huge ass. My recommendation, just install a gallery unlocker and do your fap, no reason to waste your time. It would be better if the Dev get a writer cus they deffo have the rendering skills, just no story telling skills.

I have been following this game from the beginning and I just wanted to share my thoughts on the project. It has excellent renders to go along with a beautiful relationship building aspect. Also, I must say, Eva is a goddess. I would definitely recommend giving this one a shot if you are into beautiful LIs and getting to know them. The story isn't the most unique or outstanding, but the focus on relationship building more than makes up for it.

I like the game a lot but the one thing missing is an auto-play feature unless I am missing somehow on pc version. Having to hit enter for every dialogue change is rough lol. Other than that the game is fine.

I like this game a LOT.

First and foremost, I like games about adults. Like, actual adults. I'm not in high school anymore, and I have no real nostalgia for that time in my life. But an adult dealing with work, uncertainty with job security, dealing with rent, making friends as an adult, finding one's passion... these are things I understand and honestly, while this game can be a BIT shallow at times, it does touch on these topics in a way I can actually relate to.

The girls are great. They're all inexplicably slaves to the MC's dick, sure, it wouldn't be much of a porn game otherwise. But accepting that break from reality, they have their own lives and their own agency in a way that is a breath of fresh air. It's a small thing to see a gym manager complain about insurance paperwork (right before a sex scene, natch), but it adds some much needed reality to an unrealistic scenario.

The girls look great, too. The art really shines in simple ways. Backgrounds have NPCs living their own lives, details are paid attention to, it's not the MOST unique art I've ever seen, but it sells the narrative and certainly nothing's wrong with it.

This is a game for people who like, say, High Rise Climb but maybe think that game is too wordy or ponderous. Office Perks is light, it's breezy. And if the dev wanted to go that way, has the makings of a pretty great harem game, I hope that route gets considered or added. It's an adult game for adults for once, and despite its hiccups, I'm looking forward to how it develops.

Rant for 0.0.5.2


TL;DR

If you're here for the story, then turn around, day after day of MC life and dating/meeting girls, even if you rejected them. If you are here for the girls and not a fan of fat or bimbo/fatass then you have nothing to look for here. Plus, it forces the player to read MC's thoughts on how all women are beautiful even if you don't like them and have rejected them/earned 0 relationship points.


Positive points:

Graphically the game is on a good level.
And. that's it.

Negatives:

Weird looking MC

Thoughts written in italics, sometimes it's hard to tell when he's thinking something and when he's saying something.

MC's thoughts describe all women as beautiful, even though I, as the player who runs it, haven't met any that I like. Even when he rejects them or plays them on the minus point, he still compliments them, asks third parties if he has a chance with them, and thinks about their beauty.

The diversity of women, practically zero, to choose from we have bimbos and/or fatasses or just fat women.

Even when we have the option to ignore a woman pushing a fatass in front of us, we end up talking to her and getting excited while she pushes that disgusting fatass in front of us.

Lacking any story, it's a wonder the developer didn't make it a sandbox with forced showers, sleeping, eating, etc. That's the vibe this game gives me, a sandbox without the sandbox.

Sometimes the game makes decisions for us, although there are variables to reject suggestions, example(SPOILER ALERT)


PS. I didn't finish the game, the story is weak, the MC is annoying, I didn't like any of the girls.

It's a comfort game...

My overview:
Slice of life for a programmer who moves to a new area with new job and meets pretty women. It's very lighthearted (except for a slight sinister plot that might be brewing which MC or LIs are unaware of).
Very much a comfort food for me.

Pros:

1. Plot/writing/Pacing is really well-done for this genre. (Not too deep or too shallow, it's just right).
2. Music is nicely chosen.
3. Girls are cute and I love the lovey-dovey kisses and hugs.
4. Renders are very pretty. Like every new scene has new clothing and stuff...background characters etc. Adds a good charm to the game.
5. Girls are distinct with their own personalities.
6. Plenty of sex (static animations but still hot)
7. MC isn't creep or over the top Alpha. Just your regular guy with decent personality.
8. Choices are plenty if you want to avoid certain LIs.

Cons: I got nothing. It was really a fun ride (2hrs for v0.04f)

Verdict: Yep, play it! It's not too emotional or too shallow. It's casual and touching at times. Characters are slowly beginning to open up and with an underlying crime plot brewing. It's a fun ride

I was pleasantly surprised by this VN. It's a sweet little story with really great LI's both visually and personally. I am not sure if this will eventually be a harem game, but right now all LIs are available but the recent update, some of the LIs seem to be wanted something a little more serious so I guess we will find out soon if the MC can have it all or not.

There seems to be a little bit of a sub-plot going on in the background but for the most part, it is a pretty simple story about a bunch of friends who are getting to know each other and making plans for their life.

The MC is a bit of a Gary Stu, so you kind of have to roll with that, but the LIs are all pretty awesome too. You will not find any drama here.

The best part, IMO, are the H scenes. There is no animation but they are well written. A lot of these Adult VNs skimp on the erotic dialogue and rely on animation and images to make up the difference, but this dev does a nice job. It is also nice to see the MC give the LIs some attention and makes sure the LIs have their needs addressed. It's a nice change from the ooohs and aaaahs and just watching the dudes get off without seeming to care if the women do. But... that's me.

Anyway, it's still a bit early in the development, but if you are looking for something with a story with good fapping then download it and check it out. If you are looking more for corruption, slutty, blackmaily kind of things, then move along; nothing to see here.

This is easily one of the best games of 2023. I can't say enough good things about it.
+Very good writing and editing
+The LIs all have very distinctive and unique faces, bodies and personalities.
+Very good renders
+Excellent use of facial expressions
+Lots of great sex scenes.
+The characters are all well written, with plenty of quality character development despite all the sex.
+A solid and original plot which is a nice change of pace from the usual recycled stories (superheroes, dying/vanishing fathers, going to college, etc)
The only negative thing I can think of to say about it is that it completely lacks animations.

EDIT: Down to two stars from three because saves failed.

The overall design of characters is looking fine mostly.
The women, while having unique features like Maria, Grace or Nikki have, look quite well. Grace especially is looking super hot, her model is something else.
The MC's design however looks like a fresh 18 year old and has a face that makes me wanna punch him.

Not a fan of his jokes.
Not a fan of the 4th wall breaks.
Most of the conversation with the women is cringe.
The poses they sometimes are doing make no sense, like why spin when I compliment you, this looks so weird.

The stroy plans something so that's one thing I can look forward to.

+ squirting
+ relaxing, calm music
+ beautiful renders
+ sex scenes, they are simple and short, but for some reason i really like them
+ all characters are likeable, even mc is cool
+ story is interesting, a lot of potential here
+ no cockblocking

hard to say anything bad about this avn right now, it still pretty new and don't have a lot of content, but it's really enjoyable, 5 stars from me

Jenny definitely gets my prize, I will wait for new releases just to see her route. The pace is okayish: there are games with fast pace and games that start slow, this one fits in the middle. Renders are also okayish. There are no animation, so usually I would give 4 stars, but I'll add one more just for Jenny.

It's always slightly nervy getting to play a new game that doesn't have many reviews. But I liked the sound of the theme and the graphics looked solid, so I figured I'd give it a go.


Refreshingly good. Graphics are excellent, plus the writing is solid and feels real. Probably could do without the potential conspiracy plotline (my only real criticism), but I'm enjoying the rest of the game sufficiently to see where it goes. Games in this genre always need to have a certain drama, otherwise, I guess they don't have an easy endpoint.

Each of the main love interests has a distinctive look, and each comes across very likeable. Certainly a game with great potential, and I look forward to the updates. Easy five stars at this point.

Hey, I found a nice new game, wait, is this just the demo? Very interesting story, renders, models, and a very charming LI, my god, I like it very much, I'll stay tuned, and I hope please the developers must keep the updates working!

It doesn't take away from the fact that Office Perks offers great fun, crisp renders, good writing, a great soundtrack and of course the beautiful Jenny and Eva.

The developer is so good at creating unique and expressive faces for his characters, especially the two love interests I've already mentioned. I also quite enjoyed the relationship system, although as an avid role-player, I'd rather not know how well I'm doing with a girl.

Give this a shot, you won't regret it!
