    It's pretty good for the most part, well written and nice visuals. But it really needs more player agency early on. I'm not a fan of ntr and spineless mc's, so the memory scene at the beginning about the celebration of mc's 19th birthday almost made me just quit. Like why the fuck does he let Evelyn drag him around on a shopping trip on his birthday and why would she do it if she actually cares, bitch. Then his sister-not-sister not showing up to take an extra shift at a strip club and him throwing a baby tantrum about it, jeez. Then he sits there and gets all embarassed about the girls talking bout him and Evelyn having that lose viginity pact, makes no sense as he obviously was the one to tell Parker about it. And then the worst part, Parker openly flirting with the waiter is just rude when she is there for a 19 year old virgin guy's birthday, incredibly inconsiderate, and even worse the waiter laying it on thick flirting with both women, I mean seriously not giving the mc the option to even say anything to that is just pissing all over the reader. Had a scene like that ever happened irl any man who is not some cuck bitch would not only told the guy to back the fuck off but also have demanded a new waiter, talked to the manager and told Parker off.

    So despite the good looking women, nice visuals and generally speaking well written story and dialogue. This one just falls flat
    The doormat skinny short mc type is just yawn so boring and the setup that this dude who gets a boner from pretty much anything female. Oh and he also lives with two women who behaves like absolute sluts and is also not "family" while also appearantly being good looking according to said females and obviously is hung like a horse, then to believing that he is still a virgin at 19 years old is just beyond dumb...

    Will continue reading to see if this was just some early game slip ups, but if this kinda shit keeps up this will be a hard pass from me

    Edit : Reached chapter 6 and despite the overall story actually being somewhat interesting and playing in supposedly "safe mode" that should turn off all ntr related content and without lesbian content on. It just gets to much, all the girls are non-stop flirting with each other and the ntr vibes are just everywhere, to the point in c6 that all the LI goes and pays some gigolo in a toilet to give them "incredible" orgasms that are so good they are reduced to drug-like states of ephoria babbling about it was the best they ever had.
    Add to that the mc still being an absolute whimp and basicly getting fem-dommed by the girl who claims to have been in love with him forever and wants nothing more than being his fucktoy, sprinckled with being non-stop threatened by the superstrong LI to cut off his dick, crush his balls or straight up murder him. People calling him kid and also making him the butt of almost every single joke. This avn is an absolute shitshow for anyone who is not into ntr sissification while being cucked by lesbians

    The only reasons this gets 2 stars is because of wasted potential. With stunning visuals and a good story it could have been really good. But not having this properly tagged with all the ntr and related shit i've already mentioned, this needs correct tags and not have the dev claiming that ntr is optional.

    Didn't like either this story or the characters, like, at all. This game is the first one in my memory where I was repulsed by almost every female character. They are for the most part absolutely fake, have an unpleasant mentality, and have a "past" where in comparison, even my one ex could be considered a saint.

    The story presents itself as very mature, but in reality it is very dumb. If you ask yourself questions like "what" and "why" the characters are doing, you'll see how overly shallow and pretentious this story really is. Like when MC ended up at the heroes' base and they fucked with him even after knowing that he can copy their powers through sex. Any actual sane special squad or whatever would never let yesterday's stranger do that because of a plethora of obvious reasons. And the whole game reeks of these childish plot holes, inconsistencies, illogical behavior, etc. It would be fine if the game didn't try so hard to be mature and sophisticated with a lot of pretentious text. Characters are doing illogical deeds all the time, and their dialog is weird and unnatural. Like excessive talks about sex, even without anybody asking them about it. Or when a girl was a town bicycle and proud of her past to the extent that she tells this to MC on their first date like it's nothing, do I even need to explain why this is so disgusting and repulsive?)

    For the girls, well... There was close to no one whom I respected and had sympathy for. Through narration, characters' lectures to MC, and dialogs, the developer poorly tries to justify whoring and fucking around as something normal and a path that a woman can easily go through without losing anything and without any consequences for her personality, mentality and self-value. Then out of nowhere she easily will become a loyal, supportive, and caring dream waifu when she is ready to "settle down." What a joke)

    Visuals are nice, but this is all I can say good about this game. Sex scenes are not animated and generally very dull, boring, and overshallow. There is almost nonexistent buildup; sex happens out of nowhere, and it doesn't help that scenes are short and feel almost as fake as the characters themselves.

    MC is a spineless loser who is simping to dumb whores and justifies in his head their fucking around and poor life choices like it's nothing. Even at his birthday, where his "mother figure" behaved behind MC's back as absolutely horrible, betraying, inconsiderate trash, he reacted like, "Oh, well, it's okay, and nothing serious happened."

    So yeah. For me, the game turned out not to be a man's lewd fantasy but his nightmare)

    Artwork: 4/5
    Characters: 5/5
    Story: 5/5
    Writing: 5/5
    Gameplay: VN-like
    Porn: 2/5

    This is more of a story than a game IMO, and as a story it is a rare gem. This is one of those lewd fantasy advntures that you can only really find in adult games. The sex scenes themselves are very much meh IMO, but there is enough emotion and fun along the way that they are still enjoyable, even though I would never fap to them. It is more like reading a sex scene in a fantasy novel than watching porn to me, and I am okay with that. So in my opinion skip this game if you are horny and come play it after you have satisfied your urges.

    The gameplay itself might not be the most exciting, and the 'renders' are pretty basic, but the game more than makes up for it with a fun story and unique, interesting, likeable characters.

    I sorta wish the MC wasn't such a cringe chronic masturbator, and I feel like people are a bit too bland about the sexuality of everything....but it's pretty clear that this superhero story takes it's cue from comics like 'The Boys' more than 'MCU'.

    A very entertaining game. The story is good so i dont skip forward and thats very important to me. The characters have personalities and the dev tries to make them diferent. This is a harem/fuck all girls game but some fucks(not all but those that count) have meaning and build up to it. Not having animations dont bother me, fuck animations, im happy having a good time for hours with static good images with an update over having to wait 6 months or more to have 30 minutes of high resolution animations. The ntr/sharing stuff i dont have any complains coz the most important thing about this topic is that i Have the Option to avoid it hapening, this being said, i loved the foursome in last chapter.

    Now the only thing i dint like, well i can say i actualy hated it. It doesnt make any sense and its just bad. This is about what PARKER does at the MC birthday celebration, i dont care she doing it, i dont think she would do it in that moment, that or she isnt who she is, and she dont give a shit about the MC like we are being led to believe(and i dont mean as a LI or anything like that), no one would do something like that while celebrating the birthday of someone important. Dev you dont have to change anything about it, just remove that from that moment to another less meaning moment.

    Im really looking forward for more.
    Thx for your excelent work.

    I love all the little drops about other games. The LI's in this game are freaking fire. The story isn't bad at all. I honestly just really, really enjoy this AVN. It's fun as hell. Evelyn I think is my favorite right up there with Moon. I am not certain I can really decide between the two of them. Who ever is on screen at the time is my favorite. That dinner party with Anna....oh man.

    Origin Story [0.7.0]

    TL;DR: Origin Story is one of the rare AVNs where the story, characters, and emotional stakes matter just as much as the lewdness. A well-written, emotionally intelligent ride through a world of powers, pain, and personal growth, all wrapped in excellent visuals and smart design. Absolutely worth your time.

    Gameplay – Lean and Impactful
    Origin Story offers just enough player agency to keep you invested without overwhelming the narrative. Early chapters feature light freeroam segments that provide narrative context and world-building; later chapters scale this back to maintain pacing. Choices don’t diverge the plot in a massive way, but they shape character reactions and emotional payoffs. The MC can pursue romance, friendship, or sex with various characters—each path feels deliberate, not just filler. The game trusts the player to engage thoughtfully, and that trust pays off.

    Story – Superhuman Sex Drama with Heart
    The narrative is built around a world recovering from the chaos of metahuman emergence. Twenty years after the viral outbreak that gave rise to superpowers, society has begun to settle—but that doesn’t mean it’s healed. Into this, we follow a teenage protagonist whose powers manifest not through violence or accident, but through intimacy, care, and emotional connection. It’s a subversion of the "teenage power fantasy" trope, instead exploring sexuality as a legitimate path to growth and understanding.

    The plot’s greatest strength lies in how much it cares about its own consequences. A bullied child exploding with grief; a well-meaning heroine afraid to touch others for fear of crippling them; even casual encounters that carry emotional weight and long-term ramifications. This is a world where powers are not plot devices; they are deeply entwined with identity, trauma, and intimacy.

    While the story occasionally dips into exaggerated genre tropes—superhero codenames, sex-fueled power acquisition, and a few cheeky narrative winks—it never loses sight of its core. The relationships are the story. And the mystery that unfolds, from Parker’s motivations to the MC’s role in future conflicts, is teased with care and intrigue.

    Characters – Evolving and Well-Rounded
    The cast feels alive in a way many AVNs never quite manage. Evelyn serves as the emotional center; she’s sweet, strong, vulnerable, and clearly navigating complex feelings for the protagonist. Georgia presents a more spontaneous, emotionally open foil, while characters like Riley, Marina, and even the protagonist himself evolve through experiences and not just expositional backstory dumps.

    One of the standout features is how powers manifest in tandem with personality. Ruth has the strength to break people, and carries the guilt of doing exactly that. Amber’s invisibility mirrors her fading sense of self-worth and desire to be seen. These aren’t just quirks; they’re the narrative skeleton of each character. The result is a cast that doesn’t just revolve around the protagonist—they push back, pull away, and force him to grow.

    Lewdness – Narrative-Driven Erotica
    Origin Story is unapologetically erotic, weaving sexual content directly into the progression of both character relationships and the metaplot. Every chapter features some form of lewd content, and it escalates naturally alongside the protagonist’s power development. This isn’t just titillation—it’s a mechanism for narrative evolution. Sexual intimacy is required for powers to synchronize, but the catch is that it must be consensual, pleasurable, and emotionally resonant. This leads to scenarios where the MC’s kindness and attentiveness are not just good traits, but required for growth.

    The volume of sexual encounters is high, but rarely gratuitous. There’s variation in tone—from loving and romantic to experimental and raunchy—but always with a character-driven core. The game even includes toggles for content types (anal, lesbian, safe mode), allowing players to shape their experience without disrupting the story.

    Fraser’s meta-aware commentary and the player’s partial control over the MC’s romantic decisions underscore the VN’s sexual themes with a sly wink. The protagonist’s rapid development into a hyper-skilled lover might be explained by power mechanics or just Fraser’s narrative meddling, but either way, the result is a lot of well-rendered, emotionally-charged sex.

    Artstyle – Static but Expressive
    The renders are consistently impressive, particularly for a developer’s first release. Character models are distinct, emotive, and expressive, with subtle facial animations and carefully posed interactions. Prominent details like expressive eyebrows, nuanced lighting, and realistic facial features stand out without falling into uncanny territory. Shot composition is also noteworthy—frequent perspective shifts, emotional close-ups, and background elements help maintain visual engagement throughout dialogue-heavy scenes.

    While there are no full-scene animations, motion is communicated effectively through rapid transitions, dynamic poses, and attention to gesture. Background activity adds storytelling layers, especially during busy or emotionally charged scenes. Characters don’t just exist in a void, rather they inhabit a world with movement, implications, and tension.

    There’s very little reliance on reused renders, even in longer scenes, which speaks to the developer’s visual storytelling discipline. The absence of animation isn’t a detriment here; rather, the consistently high render quality and visual flow give each scene weight and momentum.

    Sound – Quietly Effective
    Music and sound effects are subtle but well-placed. Ambient cues like doorbells or whispers are conveyed with changes in font size or onscreen actions rather than on-the-nose text tags. Music complements tone rather than overpowering it. There are no voiced moans or heavy SFX during sex scenes. The absence of sound becomes noticeable at times, but it’s never jarring. The sound design supports the writing rather than distracting from it.

    Technical Competence – Simple and Solid
    No bloat, no bugs, no excessive repetition. Code is modular where it needs to be, and the freeroam sections are neatly segmented and kept from cluttering the main script. Despite the branching paths, dialogue remains coherent and responsive to choices. Though it doesn’t push boundaries technically, what’s here is solid and efficient.

    Final Verdict – 5/5
    Origin Story isn't just another AVN cashing in on superpowers and sexual fantasies—it’s a surprisingly tender and nuanced tale about identity, trauma, consent, and connection. The sex is hot, sure, but it’s also deeply woven into the emotional journeys of the characters. Choices matter in how they ripple through relationships and personal growth, rather than in a gameplay sense of branching trees and stats.

    This VN knows exactly what it is, and it never betrays that vision. Its strengths lie in consistency, thoughtful writing, and a strong emotional core that doesn't shy away from difficult topics. Where others fall back on shock value or empty wish fulfillment, Origin Story builds something that feels honest—horny, yes, but honest.

    Dayum, that's a good game, dev.
    Keep it up! It doesn't matter whether there are animations or not; the story is amazing, and so are the renders and models, along with a bit of humor from Fraser. The background music is good as well, and it's amazing that this is your first game. Go nuts making this!

    Well
    The dev changelog says that there is not ntr cuckold
    But in the memories the mc had the worst birthday ever his stepsister bailing him his stepmom flirting and having sex with a random bartender and for some reason he had to the bathroom so you can watch or hear them safe mode on off
    His childhood riend with her power sleeping with a lot of people just ruins the virgin sex
    Lack of choices mostly to have sex feels like a kinetic novel

    The setting could've been something generic and bland, superpowers in school? What is this, My Hero Academia? I'm happy to see that this one is actually something different from the norm. It makes things somewhat believable within the ruleset of its own setting.

    Models are great, maybe just one or two I'd change a few things, but I'm sure these two are the favorites of someone out there. So, it's guaranteed that you find someone that tickles your fancy.

    TL;DR: Highly enjoyable, with plenty of LIs options, so player can pick and choose whatever suits their taste (including the famous "all of the above" option).

    The game is surprisingly enjoyable despite initial doubts about its over-the-top premise. While the plot involving superpowers is refreshingly chaotic and avoids typical superhero clichés, the main character often feels unrealistic—frequently discussing masturbation in awkward, cringeworthy ways that inexplicably charm the female characters. This detracts from the writing’s believability. Though the story is intriguing, it novel still has plenty of room to grow, and the game shows strong potential and could become something special with time and continued development.

    What a great surprise this was. The dialogue is actually hysterical at time, many laughs were had. The characters are all well rounded with distinct personalities. The writing is as good as it gets and the world building is interesting, deep and cogent. This is one of a handful of games where you will get attached to the characters who have rich, deep and compelling backstories.

    All the posted CGs are a good reflection of the game, if you like what's here you will love what's in the game.

    This is one to watch and you're likely to be left wanting more.

    Here's another visual novel with a virgin MC who somehow becomes the 'chosen one.' All the girls instantly want him, explained away by cheap 'pheromones.' The author tries to say there's no NTR, but that's the least of its problems. You get a scene where the MC's mother-like figure hooks up with a waiter during his birthday dinner—total disrespect, yet the MC seems inexplicably fine with it.

    Then there's the author's take on game modes. They offer a 'Safe Mode' for sensitive players, but then insult you by calling 'default mode' players 'brave' for watching those scenes. It's incredibly condescending and just sours the whole experience.

    The Reaper_Darrow

    Incredible game, surprised the hell out of me how enjoyable and well-made it was. The renders are gorgeous, the three-dimensional characters are varied in personality, and there isn't a single uninteresting LI. The writing is sharp, witty, and funny enough to get more than one belly laugh. The pace of the game is pretty stellar as well, as you are never given a chance to become bored.

    The biggest highlight, though, is the story and how well the superhero premise (heavily inspired by The Boys) is executed. It also makes for some pretty fun sex scenes, which I'm such we'll see more of.

    The only problem I have his the amount of LIs borders on excessive, which makes it hard to become interested and emotionally invested. But the characters and the writing is good enough for that to only be a small issue, and despite it it's one of the most perfect games out there. Can't wait for the next update.

    Great models, characters with believable diverse personalities in a super hero school setting.

    Check, check, check.

    Came for a wank, stayed for the story.

    Reminds a little of how I would play my rogue-like play-throughs, mixed in "the boys" universe.

    Only one thing is keeping me from giving this the elusive 5 I have such a heard time giving. Honestly I am enjoying the story for teh biggest part which in itself is rare as there are not a lot of good stories to be found out there. So major Kudoes on that point alone.

    What took away that one star you might ask? Well.....I am wanting to understand why every single woman in this game is a carpet muncher? Oh and Kudos on there being bush here as well. Too many out there that are alergic to a natural presentation. Some of us still find a natural woman sexy. Also again Kudos to not every woman wearing a pair of beach balls on her chest as well. Again variety is truly the spice of life.

    Oh and it would really be nice if he actually had to work to get in the panties of some of these girls as well, especially since they all love munching carpet way more than chowing down at the sausage bar.

    Not that I care for gay sex but it would be funny as hell if our MC had the option to snag some of these nice powerful male powers by dominating a few of these pricks and making them swallow his load. Just saying. Why linit the theft of power to just these boring female ones. There are some real ass hats in this one that I would love to see have their power stolen and used against them.

    Needless to say am really looking forward to seing where this goes in the future. Well worth your time to play it. Even if you don't take my word for it.

    Fantastic game. The world building is great. All LI are really fun and fleshed out. Sex scenes are plenty and very good. There are no animations but you really don't miss them. The overall story is moving kinda slowly the past update or two, so hopefully they can get it back on track a little.

    [v0.7.0]

    This is a solid 4/5 VN, BUT:

    ⠀⠀⠀The novel introduces everyone as dimwitted horny teenagers with zero personality and social responsibility, who are just down to fuck. Everyone talks about sex non-stop and constantly cracks sex jokes, it's tiring. It's also off-putting.
    ⠀⠀⠀MC's childhood friend in particular deserves a better introduction to the story. Forming some sort of year-long "cherry-popping" agreement with him, instead of simply pursuing the relationship doesn't make any sense. She's clearly bold enough to offer sex, so "shy" and "terrified to push for more" argument doesn't apply. She claims she stayed a virgin because she only wants to do it with MC, yet in the next sentence she says "don't get it to your head", because it will be business as usual to being just friends after the act. Is she bipolar? Like that conversation kinda destroyed her image for a while, but luckily author redeemed her eventually.
    ⠀⠀⠀Script and pacing suffers from frequent exposition dumps that serve the purpose of acquainting readers with lore and characters, which is not the way to do it. It's kinda irritating to sit through yet another Q&A session or very long dialogue with a girl, you know? There are also dialogues which I could only describe as yapping, that serve no purpose other than to pad the runtime.
    ⠀⠀⠀Everyone describes and emphasizes that Sisterhood's members are all supermodels way above beauty standards, yet most of them look fairly average (compared to the rest of the characters), a bit of a visual-narrative dissonance here.
    ⠀⠀⠀There is technically a glossary that differentiates proper "love interest" apart from fuck buddies, but IMO there are only two actual LIs: Evelyn and Amber. Everyone else you just have sex with, and that's fine, but they're not really a wife/GF material, more like FWBs
    ⠀⠀⠀The comedy is fine: not cringe, sometimes kinda funny :) when it's not yet another sex-related joke, but not "bursting with laughter" levels either.
    ⠀⠀⠀MC is often pretty awkward, I wish he wasn't fanboying or drooling as much for half the character cast, feels so degrading.
    ⠀⠀⠀Sex scenes have no animations and no sounds - sure, fine, but there's no gallery either (except for some random pictures), so you can't even re-watch them, so lame.
    ⠀⠀⠀Technically you can "turn off lesbian content" and sure you won't see related sex scenes, buuuuut everyone is still basically an open lesbian and ALL WOMEN are constantly making remarks about being (or wishing to be) "intimate" with each other. Honestly at times it feels as though these wenches are more attracted to one another than to the protagonist.

    And yet despite these shortcomings (some pretty subjective) it's a good VN: visually appealing and interesting to read. Ember's both dads approve!

    Excellent game. Probably most engaging sex scenes I saw in this kind of game.
    Missing videos might actually be for the best as the scenes are much longer and engaging. Also scene variants are practically unique scenes instead of just 90% copy past or cut content as is the norm.
