VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story [Ch 5] [BP Games]

This game hits a lot of great kinks or me(degredatiod & loooots of threesomes) and the writing is pretty great. My only complaint is very subjective in that there are 0 choices to be made in this game, it's a very straight forward visual novel and that's a lil boring for me.

While its a pretty vanilla VN the writing for the female protag is what gives this 5 stars. As the name suggests, Jacqueline gets an "Opportunity ' and despite social taboo's accepts. This seem such a simple concept to pull off, but never really see on this site. No blackmail, No mind control, Thankfully no forced until she likes it, scenarios. Just a female protag who says "fuck it, why not."

This one is actually frustrating.
There are so many good games out there that no one even bothers checking because they have badly drawn art. And then there's this one that looks absolutely delicious yet instead of taking advantage of it, it's completely fucking garbage.
The story is something akin to Sex in the City if it was written by today's Californian college students and the dialog is 90% millennial babble that doesn't matter at all to the story or development.

just here to counteract the miserable morons that reviewbomb a game because of its "forced diversity ideology", said ideology being the existence of people that arent white, hetero and cis.

there's a lot of really fucked up rape fantasies, blatant antisemitism and other questionable kinds of content on this site, but bigots whining about lesbians and non-white people is the first time ive seen a relatively large share of bad reviews because someone was so offended by a game they had to cry about it in an unfair review (and paint themselves as victims of an imagined terrible agenda of course).

interesting set of priorities there, snowflakes.

One of the best games like this I have ever played. I love every single character. I love the art. I want my own Jacky and Sasha(she appeared late but was a great add). I love that the FMC got to choose to turn herself into a slut, one she always secrretly wanted to be but had realistic worries, about it becoming all consuming and affecting her parenting. I love her story with Olive. Overall, near perfection for me. Would liked a little less trans in the orgy scene. I think Rose filled that need fine on her own, no need for half of the dicks in that scene to be attached to chicks. There are not a lot of choices in the game, at least not ones that I think send you on a different path. I think the only major one was the question asked by Kate, Jacqueline's reason for doing the "whore" thing. I chose freedom, seemed to fit her best, as she started out feeling so trapped. Don't know what differences the other two choices might bring, try them all for yourself. I am one that chooses what I feel is right and sticks with it. There is no savescumming IRL. I know these are fantasies but even in mine, I don't break the laws of reality.

Play this game, especially if you enjoy quality writing. Will support this dev for any future projects.

Love-hate relationships with this game.

First! The "lighthearted" part in the description is a blatant lie!
The game is a rather heavy social drama.
I love the characters! They are diverse and deep.
A rare sex game with a sexy plump character that protagonist gets to fuck!
There's such a great lack of those!

On the other hand, the game is HEAVY on diversity.
It might seem it follows the diversity/inclusivity agenda.
But as you play more - you realize it's just the author projecting.
Author is projecting A LOT!
To the point when you often think: "What kind of fantasy wonderland do the characters live in?"

Really lovely story, with good porn. Diverse cast, some fun kinks, gorgeous art.

My only gripe is that it's Very Unrealistic that all of the trans women pre-op were tops.

I look forward to more from BP Games, and I'm going to buy this game to support them!

Very much a Kinetic Novel.

The rare times you are actually presented with options, they're usually just dialogues and the game makes you go through all of them anyway.

The exceedingly rare times that isn't the case (like 2 or3 in the current build) they're just for flavor and have no actual impact on anything that happens.

The story is linear. The main character (I intentionally am not referring to her as the Player Character) has a set personality.

There really is no actual choices here.


That said, the story is kind of fun (and surprisingly wholesome) and the art is actually pretty good.

There just isn't really any kind of game here. And lacking any agency, it suffers if the player is expecting it.

I actually think I'd enjoy the story more if it were a comic or something similar.

What an awesome project. It is pretty much just a kinetic novel but as long as that doesn't bother you everything else is top notch.

The writing is fantastic. The intense description of the sex scenes really makes them hot while the MC's relationship with her children tugs on the heart strings.

The characters are fully realized and complex. Jacqueline is not your typical female MC that gets tricked into sex through her stupidity, and the love interests aren't one dimensional bastards trying to get in her pants. Everyone feels a real person.

The corruption is very believable, and its the interplay between sex work and life as a single mom is thought provoking.

The diversity of the cast is exceptional. Tons of variety in body type, race, and gender, very refreshing to see.

The artwork is cute and unique. Sex scenes usually have a couple base drawings and then several minor variations in these drawings, which pair well with the extended scene narrative. There are also an impressive amount of facial expressions for each character that change during conversation.

One of the best projects on here. Deserves way more support and buzz.

A smutty, fairly upbeat slice of life about unorthodox relationships.

+ Great writing quality. Expressive, organic, consistent - it's painfully uncommon for a work to tick all three boxes.
+ Great MC. Cute, likeable, perverted and, the rarest of them all, relatable.
+ It's extremely realistic. Way closer to IRL than the usual eroge that tend to start at fantasy and progress towards memetic porn logic.
+ Good art - there are much better works in terms of technical quality of the drawings, but here the artist nailed the poses and expressions so that they feel alive rather than as pin-ups.

- The density of unusual characters around the MC is kind of immersion-breaking, especially since at least in a couple cases it feels entirely unnecessary. That being said, it seems to be a consequence of the deliberate theme choice rather than anything accidental, so just be prepared to suspend your disbelief in this case.

Wow! This is a gem. Love the characters and writing (as well as the sexy pics). It's so nice to have protagonists that are good people The story is pretty down-to-earth, as far as these things go. Very little suspension of disbelief required. It feels like a story for grown-ups - which is surprisingly rare in this genre.
I'm really looking forward to seeing where this one goes!

Have not even reached any erotic content and this is already one of my favorite games. The writing is smart and funny. The main character is unbearingly adorable.

One request to the developer: please don't introduce any "branches" and "paths" as people often do pandering to all possible fetishes and trying to capture as much audience as possible. All it does it slow down the development, and in the end, everyone loses. It's perfectly fine to tell your story as a kinetic novel, without much branching.

played through chapter 1

the writing is among the best in any VN in this site
the art is original, nothing too fancy but it works
the characters are realistic, the plot makes sense, the humour is actually funny ...? wait... why is this game on F95?

going to be following this one with high hopes

Really enjoyed this.
The writing is excellent and funny.
Main character is fun to play, with relatable thoughts and feelings, and a good sense of humor.
The idea is fresh, believable and well executed.

If you're looking for a quick fap this isn't for you, but if you're in for a good read and a good laugh with erotic content, you will like this.

My hope for future updates: meaningfull choices.

Edit: the one thing that really dissapointed me: when she has sex the first time she immediately starts saying those cliche lines like "make me your slut" etc, which is 1) cliche and uninspiring dialogue, and 2) totally out of character; based on her thoughts and dialogues during the rest of the game she'd never say such things (at least not at the first time). That really ruined the scene for me.

A sterilized, safe-space fantasy in which the porn is almost non-existent, the pacing is terrible, and the MC is incredibly lazy and useless with zero redeeming qualities.

The dialogue consists of long and drawn out monologues of complaining regarding whatever the MC doesn't feel like doing, doesn't feel they should be responsible for, doesn't feel they should be left out of, or doesn't feel they should have to contribute to. Her man falls out of the sky, is a millionaire, and wants nothing other than for her to live a lavish life of doing nothing. This isn't a problem usually, but he has no personality, is completely tamed, and exists so she can live with wealth. It's a very millenial, selfish, and politically correct take on a relationship (if you can call it that) in which nobody else matters but her. All the fun of a female power fantasy is removed in favor of a milque-toast, dull, 50 shades of beige with a heaping spoonfull of politics. No spice, no salt, not even any sugar, nothing at all to make it interesting or fun. Her kids seems to exist soley for her to get the "Single mother" checkmark. Roman never interacts with them and we never really see anything meaningful going on with them despite how much dialogue there is.

It's usually easy to skip through the woefully long, poorly paced complainathons that make up the majority of the dialogue in this game, but that's the problem. That's all this game is. For a porn game, there's hardly any porn at all to offset the poor writing. It tries so hard to be woke, that wokeness is all it ever has. This porn game is more of a statement with some pictures, really. Duly noted, but I don't think I'll be back to see if this improves. Given the posted plans for future content, it seems like it's going to be more of the same. That is to say, more of nothing interesting in particular. Art is all this game has going for it, and it's a shame there isn't more of it.

EDIT: Played through CH 3. Star deduction is explained below.

In my previous review for this novel, I gave it 4 stars and was hopeful for the future, while noting that the story could EASILY go out of its way to become some pandering woke shit.

Well surprise, surprise that's pretty much what happened. The kids are still boring, seemingly only existing to fluster Jaqueline and don't actually contribute to the story. Roman is now a huge cuck who has nothing else going for him aside from his wealth. The side characters are painfully obvious 'inclusive tropes' to pander to the PC crowd without much of a story significance, and the worse part, is how Jaqueline turned out to be.

In CH 1, I had the impression that this was going to be some feel-good story about a single mother from a poorer status meeting a rich man and the two finding ground to eventually merge their lives together by experiencing trials and tribulations together. I am painfully disappointed in this respect.
There are no troubles, aside from scheduling her children out of her way so that Jaqueline here can go on sexual experimentations and trysts. The romance died out in CH 1 and became progressively absent in CH 2 and 3. And the narrative seems to completely favor a female power dynamic that makes little sense while also turning Roman from an interesting character into nothing more than a horny deviant moneybag.

I see nothing good for this project now. The only reason I would ever come back is for the art, which was thankfully unaffected. But it is the only rose atop this now increasingly large pile of new-age garbage of feminist propaganda and women empowerment pushed to the radical extreme. I'm not saying people won't enjoy novels written in this nature, but there are so many other novels out there that have female protagonists put in positions of power that still gives them character development that is believable, while also giving them clear weaknesses and traits that require them to come to terms to.

Basically, this is the She-Hulk of visual novels. Divisive, and woke pandering crap that some people will enjoy, and some will despise.

Played through Chapter 1.

I like the art. The best part is how expressive the MCs face is, how well it coincides with the narration and dialog.

The story is very good and very accurate with what I know about single mothers who struggle to make ends meet, women who don't have the time or energy for sex life but desire one badly as an affirmation of their femininity and attractiveness as they get older.

Looking very much forward to Chapter 2.

The drawings are... good? It's weird, because this is a porn VN and the style of the art fits better in a children's comic book... A mouse nose and ears and the MC could be Minnie Mouse... It's more cute than sexy an feels totally out of place here... but it's OK I suppose. There are a lot of games with manga style drawings, after all...
About the story... I´m afraid it seems depressing to me, and kind of a cliché female fantasy... from a specially tired and/or lazy female.

Usually women fantasize with seducing some kind of dangerous monster, or a powerful and mysterious man (vampires, werewolves, bandits, warriors, millionaires...) to "tame" them into a civilized partner (at least, civilized with them, but still kind of dangerous for others), and making them her personal protector, provider, and mentor in the "dark and kinky" side of the life. I suppose there is no need of examples of movies and novels with that basic premise that have been a huge succeed.

But this one dreams with the powerful and mysterious guy already tamed... The MC is the classic millennial women unsatisfied with her life (damn late-stage capitalism !!!). One day she meets an old acquaintance that happens to be a millionaire now. And he "rescues" her from her boredom and satisfy her sexual and money needs in a safe environment and without menacing her way of life, her heart and feelings, soul and beliefs, or any other thing. She doesn´t even have to do nothing to search for the guy, to seduce him, to "tame" him, there is no menace of loosing him, no psychological struggle for becoming a prostitute (although for only one client so far), NO SEXUAL TENSION (in a porn VN ) or romantic one (in a romantic VN )... I do not doubt that there are millennial women that have this kind of fantasy, but it´s a pretty lame and boring fantasy to put in a story. "One day a rich man falls from the sky and make the woman's wishes come true without the need of any effort or taking any risk". Again: this visual novel, right now, is like "50 Shadows of Grey Without Leaving The Confort Zone".

The dev has said the plans for future chapters, and it doesn't seem is going to be better. Lesbianism, obviously (it's 2021, it has to be lesbianism) with an old girl friend of her. Again safe environment, and I bet is going to be a wonderful and beautiful experience of female empowerment and sorority, or any other politically corrected cliché like that, commonly associated with lesbianism nowadays.

It would not matter if this one were one of those funny-stupid porn games without more pretentions than showing bizarre scenes of sex. But this one pretends to be a serious visual novel, a well written story... and nothing interesting happens. Where is the point of a story if there is no emotion, no drama, no tension, no conflict, no... nothing? I´m afraid that right now this visual novel is the worst thing an erotic visual novel can be: long and boring. But two stars for the effort and the technically correct (although weird) drawings.

This is an excellent introduction into what promises to be a great VN.

The story is based on an original - but not far-fetched - premise. It's interesting and sexy without being forced.

The writing is good. I really like the main character so far; she has realistic motivations and responses while keeping the story interesting. At times I felt the pacing was a bit slow, but it actually really heightened the anticipation which made the eventual pay-off that much better.

The art is great! Finally a "milf" that isn't smuggling record-breaking watermelons in her shirt. She has realistic proportions and cute features. The art for the other characters is similarly good.

This is definitely a VN right now, not a "game" per se, with no real choices, but I could see how that could change in the future (or not, depending on the creator's intentions).

I'm really excited to see what is to come! Hopefully we aren't waiting too long.

Chapter 1
It is so refreshing to see a Female MC that's a normal human being! Normal sexual desire is plenty sexy on it's own. No need to come up with any weird motivation to make her horny - just natural human needs.

Maybe too nonchalant? I mean they should at least discuss the possible unsavoryness of the deal - even if they are both of the best intentions. Perhaps a little bit about consent during their discussion, rather than just priority.

The art is awesome and this is definitely a VN not a game. There isn't a branch to be seen (yet?) and I'm not sure there is even any stats in it. However, all the characters are interesting and three dimensional - excellent job there! No one is thrown away.

I think this ends up being much more realistic and natural than A Wife and Mother, even as it's shaping up to be more of a screwball comedy with a very comicy feel. It has me jonesing for the next release which seems to be very far away. Now that the First chapter is out for marketing, the developers should consider updating the story a day at a time, so they can have quicker, shorter releases similar to the Adventurous Couple.

Good Luck!
