Ren'Py On Distant Shores [v0.17] [Professor Amethyst Games]

[Jimayo]

Haha, I thought that too: How is it possible for a man in his fiftieth to satisfy a bunch of young women?
Well, it's fiction so it's possible. ^^

You'd be surprised. I'm 43 and there are times when I'm masturbate 10 times in a day. I probably average a good 3 a day. None of my younger co-workers have as high of a libido as I do(granted it was much higher when I was their age but still, it's plenty possible to have a ridiculous libido at an older age).

 

[Jimayo]

So, the MC has PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Severe Depression, Survivor Guilt, and unspecified psychosis. That would normally rate about 3-5 meds--Xanax, Prozac, Welbutrin, an antipsychotic, maybe Ambien for sleep--plus weekly therapy, group therapy for trauma survivors, maybe some cognitive behavioral therapy for self-help.

Or, I guess, he could roll with the psychosis while having lots of sex. That could work too...

Yeah I should be on meds and in therapy too. Like I can afford that shit though.

Anyone know how to get the Violet Hospital Scene. I'd much rather her than the Librarian.

I love this game but I find the lack of save slots frustrating. Also there isn't a gallery available, and with the severe restriction on saves, I foresee a problem in the future with keeping content available for reuse.

 

[humanstickobserver]

I'm genuinely confused, and a little annoyed.

The tag says multiple endings. How? Choices do nothing. Every choice kicks the can (stay in bad? you just do the planned event the next day, after a dream, and stay in bed option is gone). (Fight back or placate? Doesn't matter, you work things out with the barista either way).

I'm on day 9 or 10, unsure, and every choice has been "advance the plot," or "not yet," but in the plot, there has not been a single choice for me to make, except the day 1, 2 or 3 trip to the coffee shop, and it doesn't seem like it matters. Every other scene plays out, with no choices or input from me.

I see no way for it to branch. I see no way to choose to NOT pursue a girl if I don't want to.

I don't see any way that this isn't just a kinetic novel.

I'm 100% OK with the basic plot, and the art is great. There is a sense of mystery. All great. But when do choices matter? When will I have an event where I can pick how the MC responds, reacts, etc... whether for good, or ill?

5th pic shows redhead -Hell yes Pregnancy tag please

 

[hoborg]

This was a good story, so far.
Looking through the files i see some pics, like the aforementioned redhead, and some vids that I somehow never got.
Not sure how I could have missed them though.
Seems like whenever I was given choices I could then do both.

Like i'm not even sure why the librarian was there and no idea how Violet could have taken her place.

 

[Assassin696987]

Honestly the story here is very interesting, there seems to be a lack of choice though so i would like to see later on in the story having to choose between order and chaos and choosing to be good or evil. but overall im looking forward to the progress on this.

 

[Hildegardt]

My suspicion is that either a few or all of the girls are imaginary, which is why their personalities are dependent on the MC's mood. Like, if he's relatively well, then everyone he talks to has the patience of a therapist, but if he's not so well, then people ignore him. This would also mean that you're either not killing off a real person, or if you happen to choose a real person, then the imaginary monster can't actually do anything to them.

Another possibilty is that magic is real and there's some spell shit going with butterflies and the book and the MC can control the minds of the women in some way, which is why they suddenly think he's hot.

It was magic all along, lol.
Honestly not sure how I feel about this. The story went from unique mental illness plot to basic harem porn with the new update.
The MC killing off his imaginary flings to overcome his illness would have been something very new and unique for a porn game.

Most likely one of the best novels in here.....thank you
Went in for a good fap,and "came" out with a tear in my eye

 

[kartolas]

Good, "serious" and interesting story. "Serious" because, how can a story be serious with an Harem tag? Even though I went for it because In harem stories one can normally chose a LI and refuse the others. That's doesn't appear to be what's going on here but the story was interesting enough for me to soldier on. But then Violet came with all the 13/18 year old garbage that has been used to exaustion. It disgusts me and I had to close it. I feel sad because I will never know what will happen on this "different" story and that it had to be ruined, FOR ME, by this sort of thing. I don't even know what to call it. Well I know but I don't need to go there.

Anyway, thank you and good luck.

 

[bosp]

Well-written, compelling, and emotional story, a true rarity among currently available AVNs.
Looking forward to more.

yeah i agree the violet shit was very off-putting.

 

[Deleted member 3679762]

Right! I wouldn't have minded it if she at least had the facial features of an 18-year-old. Being short and petite is one thing, but looking like a thirteen-year-old is, as mentioned above, a major turn-off.

If dev fixes that it will be a lot more sexy.

Yeah it's even worse because it's such a good story, the MC issues part at least, that there's no need for this stuff.

 

[Nimitznl]

The game look nice, but the MC is f*cked up with mental issues that make this game all over the place in my opinion.
So this is a no for me on my game list.

I can only agree. I'm 68 and my f-buddy she's 21. I'm the one with the stamina suggesting we should take in one of her friends.

 

[LordMerek]

Holy crap that was deep! I mean that in a good way, of course, I really love this visual novel. I don't have a favorite girl yet, but I don't hate any of them.

Godspeed dev!
