VN - Ren'Py - Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.5] [Mutt & Jeff]

I am a pervert of many campaigns. A seasoned connoisseur of smut and hands down this is one of the best games I've played.
Credit where its due the art is amazing. Yes its HoneySelect, but The Dev's put work into facial expesions not to mention that they aren't just using standard models like a few other games I can list.
The story is actully good! Honesty I went in expecting a kink fueled romp and didn't really care at first. Then I got sucked in and enjoyed it even more so much so I have reccomened it a few times and became a patron.

Time will tell things continue in the right direction, but for now its pretty damn good.

I'd want to confidently say, this is the first Adult Visual Novel of it's kind (for me anyway). I'd say I for one am an extremely picky skeptic in terms of the goals and themes of characters when they're in play in a story. And would gladly like to admit that throughout my experience on the recent build of Pale Carnations, not once was I in the headspace of "Why the fuck did he/she do that?".

Each character in the story has their own wants and desires, and in contrast to that, showing how they live about their lives make them all grounded in said reality created therein. Not one of them you could call "opposite sides of the same coin". Taking it up a notch, one could say each one is a coin all in of themselves, that have their own sides, with each surface having a beautiful and at the same time grotesque carving of their hearts, fully displayed in this extreme exhibition of degeneracy and depravity.

On that note, through the experiences of the protagonist, I'd say his reactions completely encapsulate how I'd also react if I were in the same shoes, completely disturbingly beguiled by the circumstances that take place. Disgusted. Confused. Unsure. Despite that, completely tips it towards the favors of carnality, willing to deprave of oneself of any morals held beforehand just to indulge in the moment. Shit's good.

I'm gonna support the fuck out of this. +1 Patron.

Absolutely stunning as an adult visual novel. The visuals are top-notch, the character models are absolutely stunning, the premise and story is kinky but somewhat grounded as it gives a slightly mild view of the underground sex scene, the story is written well enough to make you connected with the characters, the sex scenes are hot but could be improved more, and finally the branching narrative makes is an additional plus.

Great work with this one and hopefully the next update comes soon.

TLDR: Pale Carnations exemplifies the components that make up the initialism AVN. The graphics are stunning, the story is well written and engaging, and it deals with topics for adults in an adult manner. This last bit might turn some people off, but if you are secure, the rewards are well worth it.

If I had to give an elevator pitch for the game, it would be "behind the orgies of Eyes Wide Shut, but actually hot and interesting."
-----------
Pale Carnations is a sterling example of just how much working with a partner can have exponential returns. Both GIL or TD alone could great beautiful and engaging works, but together they push the each other to ever higher hights, creating what is my favorite AVN.

GIL's artwork is simply breathtaking, with all the women somehow being impossibly beautiful, yet somehow realistic. He has also managed to make male characters that actually look like people instead of just being a means to get a dick in front of the women. He has a keen eye for detail and composition and it shows. Every render in the game is of a high enough quality it could easily be used in pormotional art.

TD's writing adds depth and vibrancy to the characters, making them feel truly alive. It is also the only AVN I can think of that has a main character that actually feels like a character instead of a blank canvas meant to serve as an easy self insert. This makes the story feel more like you are a fly on the wall watching one of the luckiest guys instead of just someone fantasizing about banging hot chicks. That said, there is still plenty of banging hot chicks.

In between (and during) the sex scenes you watch a young man grapple with suddenly getting power and struggling not to let it corrupt him (or giving into it and embracing his sadistic tendencies, depending on the choices you make). He has to do this while navigating the complex and messy relationships that actually feel real. Sometimes the girl you like is in a relationship already (with the MC's best friend, no less), or maybe she's not yet ready to move at the speed you are (but she sure is willing to use you to get off), or maybe she's not actually interested in you at all but is using you instead (or so she claims but maybe that facade is starting to crack under pressure), or one of the other relationships that you could find both in game or in the real world.

This all combines for a dizzying amount of content for a game that is not yet even halfway through it's story. Not only will you need to have several playthroughs to see all the content, you will want to.

Even if it somehow managed to break into the top three games here, I couldn't help but feel it is being criminally underrated. That is just how fantastic of a game these two have been able to make.

First game I've ever submitted a rating for as well. I am very happy that I was introduced to this website, it opened up the world of AVNs for me, and it lead me to this absolute masterpiece.

I'm not picky with my porn games, unless I view them as something more than a porn game. Pale Carnations is one of the few games I've played that kept me coming back for more and more of the plot, while finding myself skipping through the lewds during some moments just to see what happens next.

The characters are all intriguing with clearly defined personalities, likes, dislikes, desires, etc, and you can't help but find yourself falling for and caring for all of them.

There's something for all avenues of pervert who are fortunate enough to come across this gem. Plenty of avenues for different kinds of fetishes.

To the dev, well fucking done. I'm so excited to see how the game progresses.

This is the first game that provoked a review out of me in any forum.

The writing is depraved, extremely erotic, and wild. I found myself disgusted within the first hours of playing, to intrigued until the end of the current version. The plot, for me, is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Animations are nothing short of great.

This is top-shelf stuff. This is the AVN.
But don't let me spoil it for you, play it.

Pale Carnations is a fever dream. TD and GIL have crafted a world absolutely brimming with concupiscence, rich in atmosphere and driven by compelling characters. It is immediately obvious to anyone who plays the game that there was an immense amount of care put into all the game’s minutiae. Every piece of music was meticulously curated, every pose of a character’s model was diligently selected, every garrulous word was fastidiously chosen.

The partnership that TD and GIL share is mutually beneficial. Each member brings a certain idiosyncratic passion to his respective half of the project.

TD’s writing is an unmistakeable love letter to Japanese eroge, but his personal alterations coalesce into a veritable wonderland of sexual fantasy. The lewd scenes that the characters find themselves in are intense, satisfying, and unique for a western VN. TD has a particular endgame in mind, and no scenes are wasted en route to that end. Each girl has her own voice, and it is loud and genuinely individualistic. Hana is the pugnacious punk rocker sheltering a soft exterior underneath, Felicia is the busty blonde smoke-show hiding her brilliance like an ace up her sleeve, Rosalind is the timid housewife acting duplicitously to further her own agenda. Characters are motivated, and it is tough to choose whom one wants to win the prize at the end of the day.

On the other hand, we have GIL: the twin-tail master, the Godfather of HS1 blonde bombshells. The models used by GIL are gorgeous: Mina, Hana, Felicia, and Rosalind are just the standouts for me, personally. Each animation is obviously carefully directed, but the effort and zeal that GIL puts into ostensibly simple, vanilla kissing scenes is especially noteworthy. The attention to breast worship is also notable. Some shots that GIL has created, primarily facial expressions (Rosadgecall), are seared into my brain – this last update markedly featured a slew of unforgettable renders.

Mina is probably my favorite HS1 character overall, of all the games I’ve played: her looks, combined with her personality and revelations (particularly in the last update) make her exceptional. I’ve yet to find another character that can match her ethereal pulchritude.

Ethereal, of course, is the key word when it comes to this game. Pale Carnations is transcendent: it is a gem of iridescence among the grays of western VN monotony. It deserves a prodigious level of support, and I hope the devs receive it as soon as possible.

The quality of this one is absolutely astounding.

It has superb writing, an interesting premise and an enjoyable cast of characters that all feel distinct & unique, especially the headline girls. MC himself is fairly well written and his initial response to the scenario of getting involved with the club felt grounded, authentic and real as opposed to being a yes-man, simply to further the plot and get to the scenes. The pacing is also very well done which I can appreciate.

Plenty of lewd / erotic content on offer here for those that want it and given that it's accompanied by what I feel is a well-written story, I find it quite easy to recommend. Really looking forward to seeing the final build of this one.

Very high-quality title.

Excellent game that's more on the kinky side. It gives you the option of being a complete asshole, though it is just as possible to play MC as a fairly decent guy who's still a sadist in sexual context (big plus for me). Writing is (generally) good, sex scenes are great, girls are very hot while also being interesting, complex characters. Game is also, farily uncharacteristicly for a porn game, quite nuanced in how it handles ethics. There is a LOT of content here - many hours, if you take your time. Overall, a strong recommendation.

Gosh! What a game! I thought it would be just a boring harem game but it's a marvel. It's one of the best written game I've played and it has some amazing animations. Highly recommended. Caution: it's VERY depraved (but not senselessly depraved).

Sat on this for a long time but eventually got round to playing it the other day. I've got to say that this has to be one of the best VNs on this site, along with Lessons in Love & Once in a Lifetime. The main girls are all very sexy, their motivations feel believable (for a porn game). The writing is top notch, only noticed a couple of typos.

The kinks are what makes this game stand out, however. The devs aren't afraid of putting the girls in some very spicy situations. This might not be for everyone but personally, I love it.

Congratulations, devs, you've earned yourself a patron!

I think this is probably the most erotic VN I’ve played. The plot has the MC walking a tightrope above a sea of ruinous outcomes. I hope the authors can get him to the far side: whatever that looks like.

The main sour note for me is the quality and quantity of the club’s house girls. There seem too few to service the clientele, and some are tatted-up skanks that look like they might moonlight as streetwalkers. Pale Carnations is supposed to be a brothel for the elite, which, if it employed freaks at all, would keep them in a dungeon somewhere out of sight, rather than letting them present themselves as the face of the organization. Maybe they need to pay more.

Good stuff
top notch characters
Well written MC
Character Models are stunning and the atmosphere in some scenes is delightful
beautiful art style
really can't think of any downsides it was an enjoyable bunch of hours

hana is the best , but i really hope as the story goes on there's a route to save all the girls out of their mess

After playing the game I can without a doubt say its one of the best on the site right now. The game is an absolute 5 out of 5 stars in my books. The renders and characters are great. The story is compelling and keeps you drawn in. As of right now there is plenty of content in the game. So far not too many of the choices have long lasting impact, but that's due to the game story not being at even the halfway mark. I am really looking forward to more updates from this game. The writing in the game is great too the characters feel believable in the story and dialogue between characters feels natural. Many hot characters to proceed with and either try to stay on the good side or fall into the darkside.


Play it now and you have at least a few hours of great content.

This game is on the way to becoming one of the greatest adult visual novels of all time (if it isn't already recognized as one).

Incredible artwork, incredible writing, what a fantastic story, and what an unbelievably genius setting!

Seriously, stop fucking dawdling around reading this review and install the bloody game. You can thank me for it later.

This game is such a fresh breath of air compared to the usual college setting, dad gone missing, mystery needs solving, or stale grind-through harem tropes. I won't spoil too much other than that you as the MC get roped into working at an exclusive club that serves the needs of debauched, rich men.

The characters are some of the most memorable and inventive ones I've ever seen. Playing through the game doesn't feel like a chore, and you never feel the need to skip past endless pages of dialogue.

The writing is crisp, dynamic, and keeps the action moving. The artwork is eye-poppingly beautiful. The girls are fantastic. Supporting characters are memorable. The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. And the lewdity... Oh, the lewdity! Some of the most deviant, debauched ideas I've seen in a game so far.

What the heck are you doing still reading this review? Seriously, PLAY THE FUCKING GAME.

In my opinion, this is simply the best game to be published on F95. The plot and story are fresh and fantastically-crafted. The characters are excellent (especially the MC), each one being distinct and interesting. Finally, the art is likewise top-notch, the girls being sexy and of impressive variety.

My only criticism in the game involves portions in the game that I don’t feel are necessarily appropriate to a character who is crafted to be dominant in personality. In some places, you’re frustratingly railroaded into submissive situations and themes. At the same times, these are minor frustrations that are easily outweighed by the rest of the game’s magnificent-quality content.

If you’re interested in it’s stated tags at all, download it immediately. It’s just that good.

The best game I ever played I mean seriously this is some top quality shit be the plot is one of the best, the girls are also very likable and both the renders and animations are also great, You can tell that a lot of effort is put into the game I hope more people try this so they can also know what a great game this is.
P.S : Sorry for my bad English

Wow just wow, you guys put the bar high, this is by far my favorite game on this site. The renders are amazing. This game makes me horny AF lol. Even the change of music is associated with the Mc mood. It blew me away. The writing is top class, the story keep you engaged and you keep wantin more. I wish for a public release for the game as patreon is not my thing. I wish all the best to the developpers, Its apparent the game is made with love and attention to details. Sorry english is not my main language.

Most detailed VN I have seen thus far! You can tell that a lot of love and care was put into this game. Not to mention the story line is novel worthy and the same applies to character development.
The level of perversion maybe too much for some people, but personally this VN checks a lot of boxes.
10/10 will definitely endorse the creator.

Amazing storytelling, I can really feel the emotions that are being conveyed. Like I came to this game for pleasure, but I fell in love with the story and the characters too. Beautiful work. I'm extremely excited for the next update!
