VN - Ren'Py - Completed - One More Chance [Ch. 3 Final] [The Lonely Joker]

This game is very good. Though the renders are sometimes nice sometimes so-so, and the quality changes significantly. The language has LOTS of mistakes, both in spelling and grammar. But somehow that doesn't prevent the story from being good (which is often the case when you see "non-native" narrative).

There is one "but" though: the game should have NTR tag! I know there is "Netori" tag present. As I understand - it is when MC takes away girls FROM someone. And in most cases - yes. Most of the girls are already in a relationship and are fucked by someone other than MC, so that's not exactly NTR (though still rather close to it "by the feeling of it"). But in some cases - the love interest of MC is molested or raped (!) by some dude. - And that's a definite NTR for me. I like sometimes a bit of NTR (in mild quantities), but since it is a very principal tag strongly affecting the gameplay experience - I think it should be added. And I hope moderators will fix that.

Still - the game is definitely worth trying. As I understood that was his first try in gamedev and as to me it was successful. Wish the game developer good luck with his next project.

Really good storytelling for an adult game. Some people like stuff like Depraved Awakening and Timestamps, I like my stories wholesome and my (Honey Select) girls... attractive. Well done, The Lonely Joker. Goes to show you don't need perfect English or fancy game engines to entertain people with a fun story. Now to go back to waiting for The Inn to be completed...

Make no mistake, the sex here is very good, and unlike other games the dev isn't afraid to throw in the realism where yes, turns out two-thirds of the pretty girls you met DO have boyfriends already. What, you think the world revolves around you? In a different game, but not this one.

The premise is simple. 3 years to relive the lifetime you regretted and make the most of it. The choice is... not in your hands, but Haru's. You guide him, sure, but this is really Haru making the decision how he really wants to lead his life. Was it a particularly original story? No. Was it particularly amazing? Not really. But did it convey the message the dev probably wanted to convey? Yes, and that's good enough for me.

I love good endings, so I choose to believe that God gave him a 3-year long dream to test Haru and see if he's truly worthy of reincarnation. Judging from the end picture with , I'm going to say yes. Congratulations, Haru. When it was time to live, you lived. When it was time to part, you parted. And you are rewarded in the end. I'll remember this story.

Actually a good game.

Let me explain, It's a pretty unique story in all aspect. gameplay wise it did a pretty good job in choice category. Almost all the choices affect the game. Then comes the visual aspect. To say it improves gradually. First chapter It's not that good, second chapter improves a bit than before and in the last chapter It's got good graphic somewhat. The sex scenes are good but coded unusually, i mean it skipped scenes itself. It's like a long video or something.

Characters are lovable Alice and Ivy are just awesome. Too little scenes of Alice actually whereas she's the sexiest girl out there. Ending is kinda open. I hoped a big harem orgy at the end but story wise ending is somewhat good. Ok enough now gotta go, Imma going to fap to Ann and alice scenes. Forgot to fap while playing so bye.

Sorry for my English not a native one.*

It's a shame if this game is really abandoned. I love this game with all the different characters. I just ope that the dev returns one day to continue it.

I was a little put off with the latest character designs nut that could just be the dev experimenting. Really liked the story which more than made up for it.

pros:
- many characters
- girls look good
- lengthy
- nice scenario

cons:
- broken english
- scenes go by way too fast, sometimes a few clicks are enough to go through a whole day
- animation are sloppy, characters often clip through
- choices don't matter apart from the following scene, since each chapter is their own separate game
- some characters change appearance as if the creator forgot how they look like

Firstly sorry for my bad english. English isn't my fist language.

This game have got good story and characters. Dialogs are awesome and mc is a hero. You must read this novel.

Choices i think isn't important maybe red ones are important and change story i don't realy know and i don't care.
This game offer me my choices. İ want to play games like hero and this game offer me become a hero. So play it
Sex Scenes might be improved. i belive developer can do it but he haven't got time or we all know we want new story stuff. i belive Final produck will be awesome.

I really enjoyed this. It has a good story, nice character development and great looking models. I really get the feeling that the MC want to life his life different than if before he know how to make money but doesn't care for it. I can't wait for the next chapter...Keep up the good work!!

this is what you call an average game not good not bad
story 4 stars: after i saw the review i thought the story will be great like few rare games but this was not the case the story is good (not your mission is to fuck everyone in your house bullshit )but not a great one so dont higher your expectation for something amazing or special .
renders 2 stars: not good at all very cheap renders it coold be done way better
game play 2 stars : too boring your decisions have a little to no outcome so it dont really matter what path your will take .

Devs talents are wasted doing adult games..
This didn't hit my kinks as much as other games, the adult part of the game is your run of the mil, hello and fuck type of scenario.
If it had a bit more teasing it would have been a huge hit.

I think I only kept playing cause of the writing (except the bad English), and that itself is a monumentous achievement.

Well done, enjoyed the story more than the adult theme.

Hard to categorize the game, its more a visual novel (which i hate), yet i saved more than 10 times due to the choices you get in each chapter.
I was really impressed with the choices, felt like i was playing mass effect where i was scared to make a choice at times.

i'd probably give it a 3 star for a adult game, but since the writting is above and beyond, it carries it to 5 stars.

Definitely recommended.

This game is great, even tho the animation in ch 1 and 2 is rough but the story cover that part.
it seems like that the Creator him/her self really wished to restart their own life at some point.
i really give this game a flat 5 star because the story is really good, pure vn when you only need to choose what you will do and then the responsibility of your choice. character relationship is nice not just wooing any girl you see but rather you build your relationship with them.

If you want to play some high end graphics, there are a ton that game in this forum but if you really looking for the story, then this game is like a rough diamond need to be cut for a perfect piece.
For the dev, improve the graphics because a good graphics will lure new player for this game and maybe will place this game in highest rated game here.
thanks for making great story. keep up the good work.

Very Good . if it can be updated as soon as possible, I can't wait anymore for the story to continue.i hope the next update is more interesting and the animation movement is not rigid, and the story is more extended, the file size is not problematic, as long as the game produced is cool like this

Pros:
- have good story and MC background
- great graphics (need some improvement)
- good background story for each girl (not entirely, cause it's not fully discovered)

cons:
- need some improvement for detail of part of body/scene

Amazing game. Let's go:

Pros:

- Great graphics and transitions (and I mean really good, I've played many games but this is one of those high on my list)

- Each character has a strong backstory, considering this game is just 2 chapters in, and I can feel for them

- MC is ambitious and mature (not a whiny 5 year old)

- Branching plot with multitudes of choices

Cons:

- English may be slightly off at some points, but the other factors (graphics, plot, etc) more than covers for it

- may have a little NTR vibes (if you're sensitive like me haha)

ch 3v04 Why I dropped the score for this title:
- lack of logic in time jumps between scenes. So its hard to keep up with events and why they happen. Its a type of novice type of writing story. Mc did that, done that and went ther. Fucked her. The story lacks back story. Build up etc. Even if the world is big and story diverse. It jumps between events that are barely connected by any story. Besides that many events are forced.. or taken out of context. Which is annoying af.
- MC's dick looks better but its still a clay monster on barely likeable looking fellow.
- Girls are sexy but their motives lack depth
Story was ok till chapter 3.. after it entered the field, author added barely making sense characters and their stories but hardly followed up on existing characters.
- After getting fuked a girl is getting forgotten by author. Barely giving them any time in each update
- Too fast releases, I would gladly wait more if author/dev polished each update/render of his game till he is satisfied with his work. I cannot belive that author would have said he is satisfied with it.
- its a forced release based on shedule which is too hard to keep up by one person. Did author abandone his other studies/work to focus on this game or is he putting all his effort to put some of his time each day to move forward with updates to barely satisfy his patreons? I wonder if I could do the same. Propably not. Which is why I wish to tell dev to give himself some slack, polish his work for 2 months before each release.

Original score for first or second chapter - 5 stars:
Hmm.. art might be not the best scenes most erotic or dick best looking. What I like in this game is a solid touch of Japaneese Hentai manga's and this general genre.
Best part of this game is of course THE PLOT, which is real and not sex and orotica filled. Many renders/screenshots needed to make single scenes. Shame that one hairdresser which was in game for few seconds, looked better than most characters... but this game is still damn good. I hope that in future, third version we will see Sensei with long hair.. she looks nice now, but as a woman she would look much better with long hair. Of course Yuki and this.. classmate with nerd boyfriend is best one so far.. of course on third place are both sensei and by us adopted cousin.

This game is fantastic. Congratulations!
The story and the character design is just perfect, you're deserve more patreons.
you're amazing! i love Ivy and i want more story with her, hahaha
good luck with the game bro!

Sorry but the people giving 5 stars to this game are tripping.

Here is what it going down, you've got a game that has HS models modeled to look like Dead or Alive characters (Marie Rose, Kasumi, Ayane, etc). I think that's great actually, a clever move and that's why people like this game period.

Now that being said, for ME the SEX and SEX animations in this game aren't great, they feel stiff, dark at times, short, almost no dialogue, sex noises or even music. I would advise the dev to get in touch with the game who is making 'Mike's adventures', because THAT dude has HS animations ON LOCK. I still think this game has POTENTIAL, but I'd REWORK the SEX 1000% (because, this is a SEX games forums *wink*).

Lets move to the ratings.

Renders 3/5: Its HS all the way, it looks GOOD but it doesn't look GREAT, still A LOT of VARIETY when it comes to locations, which is AWESOME, cuz in most WESTERN GAMES you see stuff get repeated non-stop. Models look alright, specially the females but the MC looks like an Asian Alien sorry.
Story 4/5: Surprisingly the STORY is the BEST party of this game, the dev knows how to come up with interesting stories and things to happen to the MC, which is NOT the case with most games. (I just wished the chapters weren't separate because the CHOICE have ZERO inference on the OVERALL game, it just changes the SCENES for said chapter.)
Girls 4/5: Good looking HS models, they could look even better but DOA gimmick deserves an extra point. Distinct personalities and stories, GOOD.
SEX: 2/5: Sorry, I can't FAP to this...even HS vanilla is better. Need to re-work them, until you can FAP successfully to your own work dude, its just part of the creative process I guess. This is the BREAD and BUTTER of SEX GAMES, gotta work just as hard on this as you do on the story parts.

Also, ADD MUSIC...it really helps to ANY GAME and a lack of ambience is BAD. I think this game has POTENTIAL, I'll keep watching new updates and I REALLY do HOPE the DEV improves on the game as he continues to make it. GOOD LUCK!

loving not only the Hones Select Models, but the characters as well.
The dev made them have their own demons and problems, which creates the tension in a otherwise somewhat bland story.
It works well tho, so i'm really looking forward to more.

Also, at the moment this is making less than 100$ on patron. This is the one game i will call criminally underrated.

This game seriously deserves more love than it does right now. The game is pretty lengthy, the girls are somewhat unique and the plot is pretty fun. There are some of the usual problems, cliche ideas, etc, but overall the game is fun to play.

I highly recommend this game, especially for anyone who likes to play Honey Select games.

This review based on ch 2 ver 0.2

Story-The story is the most interesting aspect of the game where the MC is send to the past to correct his mistakes which opens a realm of possibilities for developer and the direction he took is definitely unique and interesting .You wont see many games where you are a self made millionaire as well as guy knows how to fight .i am definitely want to see how the story unfolds

Characters-Each of the are unique and have their own personality nobody is a slut who will just spread their legs just by just your big dick or throwing some money they each require relationship buildup and time as we are not here to watch porn, are we?IF yes then there are plenty other fap games.

Art-Art is definitely not the best but is still quite good since these are honey select models

Content-The game has quite good amount of content already.Yes there are only few sex scenes in Ch 2 but without relationship buildup its not a very good idea and will lower the quality of the game

This games idea is definitely original and is already a great experience.Some may say the game is moving too fast but the first year is skipped to train the MC and grow his business and money to face future challenges
So awesome work and keep it up
