Ren'Py - Oridelle's Anti Evolution [v0.1.4] [Oridelle Hearth]

The story is pretty unique and has a dark vibe that really gets you into the character’s head, which I like. The visuals look good, and the game already has a decent amount of content.


Gameplay is fun overall, and you can see the dev is putting real effort into improving it.


I wouldn’t have minded a few lighter or softer moments from the main character, just to balance things out a bit — even though I do enjoy the dark tone.


Overall, it’s a cool little project that keeps getting better with each update.

Cgs were alright, story requires you to heavily suspend disbelief, felt poorly written


Look, at the end of the day all the games on this website are fantasies, fiction, obviously. The reason I bring up the story's believability is due to it seemingly trying to be a little darker and perhaps a bit more grounded, granted, there are supernatural elements. Still, it depicts an abusive relationship that could exist. It's just a very sudden one.

Also, I'm not sure if I just didn't get far enough into the game, but this is firmly a visual novel with not much interactivity. That may seem stupid to point out, since it's a renpy game, however there are also renpy games with a decent amount of mechanics or even minigames. This from the couple hours or so I played did not have that, so I feel it wasn't properly tagged. I may be full of shit though, since I didn't finish the game.

Amazing game. So much dialogue during scenes, maybe even too much talking and not enough moaning/glucking. Well animated with only some clipping during certain scenes. Perfect story and small harem of characters that focuses on misogyny, bimbofication and corruption, while dominating several women and taking control of their lives and pleasure.

The game is dark and there's a lot of abuse, but if you know what type of abuse and how dark, then you should enjoy it. The scenes are wild and pretty hot, I'm not a huge fan of the but she's still hot and her role with the other girls is interesting. I hope that the Dev goes down a line where the
Solid 4/5 for me at the moment, given that the game isn't finished and the Dev is likely still cooking some stuff up. However, I do wish they had done a better job introducing the main character to the main female, Oridelle. It felt rushed given that all of this happens in so few in game days.

But still, keep it up

Very grim and dark vision but without shying away from the consequences. Not the right experience if you just want to skip story for porn, because the story keeps the underlying tones of control, dominance, submission and humiliation together. Certainly not for the faint of heart because some scenes can be outright cruel. All in all this makes it very original and a refreshing experience.

This game is a hard rate, and one that makes me sad to have to rate it like this. First off, the premise is going to be very hit or miss and you kind of need to be interested in this type of thing in the first place to even want to play it. You would think that means it would have a more... controlled approach with choices on how you want things to go. Well, it does this half-assed. You do have some choices, mostly on just HOW mean you want to be, but the end result is that you are still a detestable cringelord trying to be "in control" all the time. The writing definitely is schizo to the max and honestly, kinda cringe. There are just PARAGRAPHS of cringe shit on how the Mc needs to be in control or just novels of insults at the poor girl. You don't get any choice in that, it just happens. I get that the game is supposed to be "dark" but you can do "dark" without forcing a specific path on the player. This isn't a kinetic novel.

For the gameplay, it's pretty bad. As mentioned before you have some minor choices to shape just how much of a shithead you want to be, but there are no choices in how you want the game to play. For example, at first it gives you the illusion that you might be able to have a softer route with a training option and a punishment option. So naturally, I went with the training option for a more traditional style, but you HAVE to do both choices. Why even give the choices then? Also, the MC will beat the fucking shit out of this poor girl and you don't have any type of option or path selection to steer away from that, so that's not cool. And for a while, thats the gameplay loop: minor choices in how much of an asshole you want to be, beating the shit out of this poor girl, and continuing with the cringe dialogue. However, then the game goes into overdrive with a horrendous sandbox for some reason. Really no reason for that here at all since you don't have CHOICES. There's forced lesbianism, sharing, cheating, physical abuse, mental abuse, basically everything. It's bad.

Finally, the graphics/art. Honestly I don't think the game looks too bad, and characters having braces is pretty unique. I don't see many games use braces on girls so thats a +. HOWEVER, the alter ego personality for the girl is literally just bimbo.exe. She honestly looks like a clown and I don't really understand how that's supposed to be attractive? Worse yet, since there aren't any CHOICES in what you want to see/experience, you have to sit through this character overstay her welcome. Intense schizo scenes, FORCED lesbianism, FORCED sharing (tricked into eating out another girl). Compact that with seeing the clown character on screen and it's a double whammy of revulsion.

In conclusion, honestly the game has an interesting concept but piss poor implementation with some of the strangest design choices i've seen. Who WILLINGLY turns their VN into some type of sandbox while not including gameplay choices? It's just bizarre. Honestly, even if you're really into this type of stuff with the whole BDSM and a strong emphasis on M/S stuff, I'd recommend you avoid it completely.

Accurate bdsm psychology or a psychological horror show or both?

This is a heavy game with heavy themes.

A unique game with a penetrating understanding of the dark and disturbing motivations of the characters.

A frightening game. Normal Oridelle and her bimbo version exist side by side. Normal Oridelle doesn't vanish from the game, which is great, because normal Oridelle is pretty, and bimbo is a monster.

The sex scenes are INTENSE. This is dark and strong stuff.

The renders are good; some are even beautiful (such as renders of supernatural interventions and under the waters of the pool).

The dialogue is sometimes a bit repetitive during sex scenes, but the repetition, I think, works. Certainly, the prolonged sex scenes are great! Even the "short" ones aren't very short. Instead of a few renders as in other games, the scene lasts much longer, almost as long as an ejaculation would really take, which is realistic.

Anyone open to a new and challenging (and dark) bdsm experience, this game is highly recommended.

Good progression and pacing, but the story has an extreme obsession with the topic of control and submission. It's well written, and I like the psychological aspects of it, but it can go in some dark directions. It's a fun game for fans of corruption.

Usually I review games by having a certain set of criterias on which I base my review off. This game though warrants to veer off that script and wing it free-style as there are simply different focuses on which the game prides itself on.

The game gave me the impression that instead of being male protagonist game it is rather a dual male/female protagonist game. There is way too much introspection into Oridelle and Ozul and both characters have choices (although in Oridelle's case it was rather some flavour). Basically you will have interactions between Ozul and Oridelle, Ozul and others and Ordielle with other persona and third parties.

The other third parties do present themselves as kinda LIs in a harem-esque set-up and are varied in their personalities and appearance.

Oridelle's Anti Evolution sets a heavy focus on the inner conflict of the female lead and it curiously scratches an itch. Unfortunately the writing throws me a bit off with the amount of certain key words being used. Some words are ok and do take a role of an conditioning element but others have a weird intrusive presence (good girl vs promise/let go ).
And by intrusive presence I pretty much mean the male cast promising/vowing each other something but in the end those promises and vows factually have a little meaning as the male mc is fanatic about controlling everything and the female mc is all about pleasing male mc / losing control. So if one were to openly break a promise, I could see there being no consequence without the plot taking heavy hits. At this point (v0.1.2) both characters have way bigger inner conflicts they tackle than some promises that are repeated like prayers in a church.

To be frank: I hope when the main cast finally delve deep enough into their obsessions the vows and promises stop instead of circumventing them by some technicalities and white lies.

On another note the dev might scale back on some sfx, especially the thundering. After the fifth thunder it just got repetitive and painful .

To conclude: I can see and understand this game scratching an itch for niche. Although it is not really an itch of my own, I think the idea is still refreshing. I cannot say whether the execution is brilliant as the game is still not developed far enough but I'd give it a replay every 2-3 updates just to peek into it.

Difficult to rate this one... there's obvious talent and effort put in display here with a unique and imo, very interesting set up for a game if you're a normal person who can separate fantasy from reality. Not sure I'd really recommend it in it's current state, but I think it could really be something special with more updates.

This review will have some spoilers in it because sometimes you wanna know exactly what you're getting into before commiting the HD space.













Anyways, I know this was really long, but idk I just see a lot of potential in this one even as I'm not sure that I'd recommend it in it's current state. It's very unique, has genuinely interesting psychological writing that toes the line between disturbing and erotic (as all the best porn does) and great visuals but it just goes way too far sometimes and has some serious gameplay/writing flaws that are not unfixable yet.
