Ren'Py - Park after Dark [v0.22b] [SID Gaming]

Very bad. Progression system is trash. I hate it. The stat of park ranking or wtf is that is always falling to 0. And i can't progress because of that. This is BULLSHIT. Scens are midicore. Overall game is buggy and graphic is kinda trash.

Excellent game - looking forward to the final release. The games progression system feels really nice, and it feels like you're actually playing a game instead of just watching a movie or reading a book.

I enjoy this game now that I only play with the cheat codes.

The art is excellent, the dialog is funny, and I really enjoy progressing with the plot.

I HATE dealing with park maintenance ... and I like those kinds of games in general. I really enjoy Brothel King, for instance.

But this is just random crap. Things break down for no reason and soon half the place is on fire and there's nothing I can do about it. It's one thing if my mismanagement caused these problems, but you can be the best manager in the world and it won't matter -- the game is designed to screw you over. I mean, if I was given a budget and I spent it all on girls and wine and ignored the running of the place, it would make sense, but I've done everything I can to keep the park running smoothly.

And when I brought this complaint to the attention of the developer, I was treated as if I was just stupid for not understanding that this is just how the game works and basically told to suck it up. (Mind you, I am not alone in this opinion, as a glance at the comments and reviews for this game will tell you.)

But what's the fun in that? What's the fun of having terrible things happen to you when you're not making mistakes? I am not a masochist -- I don't get off on being beaten for no reason. I mean, there are no puzzles to solve to make things better, no strategy you can apply to fix things, and that's what good games have when terrible things occur... a chance to figure out ways to make things right again. Nope, not here.

So now I just wait for the cheat codes to be posted and ignore all that management crap, and just deal with the underlying plotlines with the girls and am enjoying the game quite well, thank you. In fact, I like it a lot. Absent the management crap, it's a great game.

But I wish I could enjoy all of it.

So my rating is docked a star for forcing boring grinding crap on us for no reason. It's not fun when a game punishes you when you have done nothing wrong.

Very good. Really good job with the princesses and how they appear. Nice scenes and fairly polished game. Looking forward to seeing what else comes. This is better than other disney princess games in my opinion. Creator has done a really fine job.

Imagine you want to play a porn game about horney Disney princesses.
Plot twist!

Instead you spend hours clicking through menus, being forced to talk to an annoying wizard guy, doing tedious drawing minigames, slowly unlocking a girl for lame sex scenes that are 90% more talking and two or three nicely drawn pictures also drawing your own pictures of the park at like 5% per action because the dev wants to sell you cheat codes.

There seem to be some park management mechanics in this but after 90 minutes I was so bored I stopped playing before they became relevant. Dev at very least you could have made the wizard guy we have to spend so much time talking to into a hot girl for the eye candy.

I appreciate the breadth of content and the developer trying to stay true to the art style of the characters, but for the first several hours, this game is just too grindy and the resulting scenes with the princesses just don't warrant the time investment with this game.

The Good ()

• Good art trying to emulate the look and style of each character
• Unique game mechanics (building a theme park)
• Lots of story content

The Not-So-Good ()

• Very, very grindy -- few options except for doing 1 or 2 actions per time period and progressing time, rinse and repeat
• The repeatable "Drawing Training" minigame to increase your drawing speed was extremely tedious and a complete chore to complete
• No animations or voice acting
• Slow "unlocking" of new content -- had to wait for certain events to trigger, led to some sections of the game being relatively empty
• Park management system has a lot of unavoidable, negative outcomes that can't be prevented in the course of normal gameplay

Was hoping for more in this one, overall was just too slow, grindy and the time investment didn't justify the H-scenes content.

First of all, thanks to the developers for the game, I have liked it. However, it is a little grindy at the beginning, until you unblock the Villain tavern. Now a short review of several aspects.

The story although a little superficial is funny and serves to link everything together.

The characters are surprisingly well developed, each with their unique personality.

The renders are good and the animations are ok.

The grammar is good.

And the content is fairly good around 15 hours of playability without using cheats.

Lastly, I have missed the GUI to put auto during the animations, but this is a personal preference.

If you love to be rewarded for some reasonable grind and also had a crush on disney princesses as a kid this is the perfect game for you. While I usually play completed games, I already played multipe versions of this unfinished game. I highly recommend it.

I like the system implemented in this game. It is fun to develop the park while dating princesses. Having a sligthly more complex managment of the park (financial gestion, maintenance of the attraction, food stand, employees....) will be a plus. But even without that, the game is excellent.
Thank you.

Good shit. Worth the time spent on it.
If you have any fetish of fantasy with Disney princesses this is the game to go. Good scenes, easy to achieve your goals, having a good fun along the way.
The project still under development with full compromised devs working on it. Good stuff.

Easily the best harem collector game I've played here so an easy 5 stars.
-Plenty of content and the girls seem to be largely "finished" before the next one is introduced.
-Attractive character designs and decent characterisations (ie. how unique+likeable).
-While there is a certain pattern to your seduction of the princesses, it doesn't feel like you're just repeating the same moves over and over again. No need to watch the same scene 5 times to progress thankfully.
-After draw skill is maxed, it seems the grind is decently matched to progression. I seemed to unlock girls just as I finished the current one.
-The villains are a nice wrinkle and will be a lot less annoying once you can actually deal with all of them.
-The English is great.

There are some problems
-The early game seems rather grindy- you need to play the game's worst minigame twice a day to max a skill. Basically this leads to a slow start.
-The upgrade system is a little slow (maximum 1/day) and the pricing for low-income rides is a bit off. Also there's no way to know what exactly the ride you're drawing brings to the table, negating some of the strategy.
-Midgame can feel like you're "losing". This is a design choice, push through and you'll be fine.

These are quibbles however. This is a well-produced game with good to great sex scenes and well implemented systems which promise continued high quality in the future.

thought it was great, lots of content and potential here. Can't wait to see who gets added next. Definetly need to use cheats to get through the grind but the end result is great! Wish date outfits could be worn outside of dates too

Really great game, as a poly person, I like that the girls are open to an open relationship, even if it is a bit too easy harem wise and I'd like some interpersonal drama, hope that there will he more multigirl scenes added, Aurora and Cindy need (that isn't a dream) badly, just because they way Aurora talks about it, you expect it.

I do hope to eventually be able to cuck Roger rabbit and fully fuck Jessica, but if all we get is what's available for her, that's fine.

Overall the game is a really great time, I wish you could maybe have the girls put on "date outfits" at home. Other than that I have very few complaints.

Loved playing this game. Initially pretty grindy with the drawing minigame, but once you max out your level, it becomes a non-issue. The selection of girls, ranging from princesses to some villains is filled with variety. The characters talk and act exactly as they would in their respective movies. Overall a great game.

It's lewd Disney princesses and it also features Slut versions of their regular outfits, which is one of my favourite little things these games tend to do. It's got a grind to it if you don't use cheats, but I did, so I guess I can't really complain about that.

Good sometimes great art. Nice steamy scenes. The girls i've been able to get to are interesting but the rest of the game is too needlessly convoluted grindy and confusing. I've only been able to get to about 3 girls and finally got to the villians but there are so many places where the game grinds (literally) to a halt and you have to search through the thread or cheat or what have you.

Art doesn't make up for how aggravating the actual game part is, hopefully it gets a bit more streamlined and fleshed out at a later point but for now I'd recommend avoiding unless you really love the art (which you can just extract) or don't mind tedious grindy and confusing mechanics.

Great game overall.
The art is lovely and the scene variety is great. The only issue i can think of is how boring the late game is, fixing that will make it a strong 5/5.
A gallery viewer to check on scenes without having to go to each girl's place would be awesome!.

I gave this 3 stars because even though the art is good, the game still feels like much to be desired and can be kinda grindy.

Good:
-Art is very good and accurate to OG Disney princesses
-Premise is creative and interesting
-Enviroments are good
-Lightweight game
-Dialogue is above decent

Bad:
-The game is getting carried very hard by its artstyle but that will only get it so far.
-Almost no animations
-Kinda mindlessly click around hoping something to happen
-Grindy, I don't mind grindy games if the pay off is good but not in this one
-No ethnic characters yet

A pretty good game overall.

The real selling point is of course the art which captures the style of classic Disney extremely well and is very appealing. There is also a lot of charm with the pseudo park manager theme; lots of in jokes and cute references to people familiar with the Disney parks. The game does VERY little with this theme, but it doesn't have to. It is clearly a simple sim-date game with a unique theme and there is nothing wrong with that.

The biggest issue by far is the lack of depth and the segmented gamestyle. You progress through the game one girl at a time (essentially) seducing them and unlocking scenes. The main issue is that once you have actually fucked a girl...that's it. You move onto the next one and that "completed" girl has essentially 0 content past that point. There are glimmers that this may change; the latest patch includes 4 tiny scenes where the most feature complete girls begin working in a strip bar and they all say hi to the player when they visit it. I dearly hope that instead of just adding more girls (there are honestly plenty at this stage; maybe room for two more max) the dev increases the depth of content with the ones we have.

Overall an average game that is carried very, very hard by the art style. This creator is extremely talented as an artist and their game proves it. I just hope this game focuses a tiny bit more on fulfilling its potential as a harem/dating game and I can justify making it a 5/5.

The princesses and actual characters generally tend to be drawn pretty well, the princesses have been distinct and likable so far, and it seems there are interesting stories to be told. There is also a joy that shows up that makes what are pretty standard adult VN plots a bit more vibrant than they tend to be.

However, the art tends to be on the lazy side, gameplay needs to be introduced at a much brisker pace, instructions for gameplay and triggering next events need to be a lot more coherent, and the game needs to flow a lot better in general.

I should note that the game seems to have been designed in a freemium-style mindset, since the developer has said on this site that "A walkthrough is available for $10 patrons. Just saying." (https://f95zone.to/threads/park-after-dark-v0-12-public-sid-gaming.56872/post-6757172) and "We don't give out help because that's our policy on the matter. We have an official walkthrough that's also patron-exclusive, so we don't also give out answers for free." (https://f95zone.to/threads/park-after-dark-v0-12-public-sid-gaming.56872/post-7941942)

As it is, it has potential, but is too frustrating (seemingly on purpose to promote their Patreon as a sort of pay-to-win mechanic) after the initial magic wears off.
