Ren'Py - Completed - Personal Trainer [v1.1.2] [Domiek]

I don't get the high rating for this game. It looks good, but it is so dull. I had to struggle to make it 30 minutes or so. I finally gave up after seeing the wig fall off of a stripper. No, that's not a euphemism. The concept is interesting but the characters aren't . Nothing drew me in. The story telling is strange. The barista started telling me her life story and talking to me like we had know each other for months if not years, even though we had just met.

People seem to like the game, but it does nothing for me.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.27...

This was a fun jaunt for being primarily a Relationship Grinder... And it's still way early in it's development for having as much content as it does...

The visuals of the characters are a varying mix between many decent looking characters and some others that are slightly over exaggerated, all while coving several body type fetishes... From those looking from petite, to heavy, to highly muscular, to MILF and even GILF, etc... Not all those are my bag, but they add variety... The backdrops are mix of ones I've seen before and some unique ones... The scenes were designed well... Not much in the way of animations, but that isn't always a necessity in these things... Navigation was easy to understand as well as the game mechanics UI...

The script was pretty good with only a few spelling/grammar errors... The plot revolves around a male protagonist who was cheated on, fired from his job, and ends up moving in with his female cousin... You know what that means, yes, there is some incest in this one... The protagonist gets a job by tricking his way into working at an All Female Gym as a personal trainer, as the title suggests... From there it turns into a Relationship Grinder, with the typical Day-Time-Location mechanics... As you progress with each primary characters story line, further scenes and/or events open up... This is where most of the story takes place... And although some things feel a bit out of touch with reality on a handful of occasions, it works well for this VN/Game...

There is plenty of humor, several fetish choices to select from, side characters with no real story (mostly there as filler), and so on... There were a few side selections that don't really do anything and feel like they could really have been left out, as they were pretty much just single shot peeving views, nothing else...
There are elements of Male Domination, Romance, Friendships, and lots of other stuff... And it doesn't always take itself seriously, but not so far as to take away from the story elements or ruin any of the more emotional type moments... Not all choices matter much in the long term, but some matter quit a bit, so just be aware... I'm happy the primary love interest is a more romantic story with lots of sarcastic humor, which makes it kind of feel like a Romantic Comedy, but I'm a sucker for that, so of course I was laughing and smiling and all the other emotions, with that particular story line... The others are done well also...

Being so early into development, there is a lot of content, with room for much more, as we'll hopefully see as this VN/Game develops... There are some repetitive scenes, but that is typical of grinders... Some did kind of feel like they either were not keeping in line with that particular characters story arc... But I hope those will get tweaked and you can ignore them... Such as when the cousins story gets to a certain point where she is comfortable being practically naked around the protagonist, and yet when you try to peek in on her getting changed in the evening, she gets angry at him still.... It's just a couple little moments like that, where the immersion slightly breaks... But for the most part, story continuity is handled really well through most of the character story arcs...

Now do not get me wrong, the grinding elements in this VN/Game are very minor, usually involved with discovering the right times, days, and locations to either kick off the next step in a story arc, or to experience events outside of the story arcs... Nothing like you would find in games with money and stats to worry about, as those do not exist in this one...

Overall, I believe the developers are on the right track with this VN/Game so far, and I expect there will be more characters introduced as development continues... There is just the right amount of intrigue, adventure, perhaps a bit of perving (lol), romance, comedy, etc... Decently written dialogue and monologue, and although it's not a super deep story line, it's deep enough... Feeling meaninful and impactful... Sure, some things are slightly over the top on occasion, but it wasn't so bad... And since not all the characters have story lines, you could technically avoid those and be fine, if they are not your thing... I look forward to seeing how this one develops, and will definitely check back a bit later on, once a bunch more content gets released...

Good game, the character assets are good, the scenarios are hot, I would like to see more Amy events though, can't get enough of her. I'm looking forward to the next update, can't wait to see what direction the dev takes the game next.

Great game, can't wait for more Sophie events. although at times there are instances to get stuck in the game. i hope the animations get fluid overtime like with SS but maybe that's just asking too much still one of the great games i have played so far and constantly checking for updates.

5/10 Not bad .. Not good. in the middle of something I don't understand. What I hate is that there are still the same scenes after 2 weeks. And I don't get a random triger event. Something's wrong. Of course I laughed when a thick wardrobe in my dressing room fell over me. So? I don't want to keep trying. Guess, search, wait. It certainly is not a good work.

All I can really say is oh my god. The story is kind of mediocre, but you don't really go to VN's like this for engrossing story, I am attached to the characters though, especially the red headed MILF, can't wait for the next update.

What I like:
First of all what sets this game apart from every other game I played here (and those are a lot) is that the models look astoshingly realistic - not concerning photorealism, but most games here go for hyper-stylized dolls or just don't care for the most part. This game is refreshingly different in that regard since almost all characters have "visual flaws" making this feel like these are actual women and I think there was much thought given to each character and I really like that.
With that being out of the way this is a reasonably well executed sandbox-game with a built-in hint system on how to progress with each character and lots of kinky stuff to explore.

What I don't like:
I have to be a little nitpicky at this point but the MC behaves pretty much like a rabbit - he can fuck like 10 times a day every day, but his stamina in a single encounter leaves much to be desired imho.

TLDR: To quote myself from this game's thread: "This game (at least so far) is a sweet journey of 'pleasing women in need' without thinking about consequences..."

This game deserves 5 stars just for cousin Sophie character alone. Everything about her was just perfect. Excellent job.
Of course it would be better if there were some scenes for other characters from the gym, too. Especially I thought there would be a threesome with Daisy and her roommate at the dorm instead of a random guy and roommate so we could have a scene with Daisy. That was really disappointing and felt like a wasted opportunity.
Still though, easy 5 stars for the sake of Sophie. She made the game for me.

What a mess of a game...
It really starts bad, the story, rendering everything first 30min of gameplay is just terrible!
After a while it gets better, but there is just a lot of grinding and repetitive gameplay!
The good thing is that there is a lot of variety!
Some models are almost a she-male, some are very feminine and soo cute...
If you like kinky and somehow funny story then try this game!

I personally hate this game thats why I gave it just 2 stars but you may like it and maybe even adore it!

amazing writing and fun over all cant say much but try it and enjoy the ride, the comedic conversations with the cousin are the best i love how realistic and goofy they are i really loved the interactions but felt scenes were rushed not so much the images but the story and plot relating to it, nothing then bam hey cuz hows it going lol otherwise all the storys flowed well and i enjoyed every minute cant wait to check back in a few month/year to see the next chunk of content as i seem to play really fast compared to what others say time wise

I'm going against a rule I set for myself about giving 5 stars but I can't help it here.

Not only is the game pretty well made it also has an incredibly helpful hint system so you know exactly what to do when it comes to progressing each girls story.

There is a girl for pretty much every taste including a hot muscle girl which is right up my alley. Okay, 2 hot muscle girls but ones a Patreon addition which is another reason I rate this so highly.

Some of the scenes and characters are added for Patrons. There are a few scenes just for them and one of those ended up being on my favourite list even though she's not a main girl.

Lastly the banter. The banter between the MC and his cousin is spot on and that spreads to the rest of the game. There is a threesome scene with the MC a friend of the receptionist and another guy and the mockery the MC does against the other guy is amazing.

Normally don't like these open world type games, I stay to VN style games, however there is zero grind here and the UI is good so it's very enjoyable. Also, the girls are all great in their own regard. 10/10 would play again. Also at this point there's a good amount of content

Great game
about Story : Excellent story line i was into the game from the beginning .
about animations : VERY very awesome graphic and exellent details about the body, specialy the private parts.
amout of content : very good start , its enough to love it .
about bugs : no bugs found .

Uhh, alright.

pros:

- good visuals
- well made transitions + fetishes
- really cute cousin

cons:

-cousin got kind of ntr'd in a way early on (if you consider her going on a date with another guy as that - and liking it - and you want to bang her)
- lots of older women (can be either a boon or a bane depending on your preference, but personally, not my thing)
- bugs (not game breaking, but does make the game draggy/irritating to play)
- storyline still kind of messy, though the goal is clear,

overall verdict: 6/10 but if you enjoy milfs then you'd probably rate is slightly higher

I have played a lot of games(every good game) but I never rated one because that never appealed as this one did. The developer's sense of humor is off the scale. His meme knowledge is damn high. This is a game where you won't fap even after getting hard. Blood will run through your dick to your mind back and forth. You will laugh and then you will get a boner you will think about doing it then again you will laugh.
All in all it was great experience.
Prestigio
Kudos to the developer. You made a poor bastard to seriously think about joining patreon.

If the game didn't have so many positive scores I would've quit the game after the first few minutes. Super cringy, and did not manage to be funny for me.

What saves the game however are the renders. Different body shapes, breast shapes (yes not all breasts are perfectly round or huge).

I would not consider it a great game however. You need to rely too much on the hints, as the game is quite linear otherwise and you would just repeat events. The story becomes unbelievable or is immediately unbelievable for every single character.
There are some good jokes in there as well, and the game actually made me laugh out loud once, but boy do some of the stories pull you out of the game due to their complete surrealism.

Conclusion:
Still 4 stars, because this game has great models that almost no other game has.

I really like this game. The redhead is super sexy. I love that there are a lot of women to choose from however. and of all different shapes sizes and colors. The story is nice and the dialog is good. Renders look very nice. This game gets 5 out of 5 faps!

So...

Personally, this was a extreme fun ride for me. I went in with low expectations, finished this version (0.26B) as a big fan.

First i would like to tell you that this isnt one of those usual "fucky fucky Mama ist the best" games. All these girls featured ingame have their own personality and their own storys to tell. The diversity is big and surely everybody will be able to find someone to be interested in.

Its true, the story is not really believable. But does this matter? As long as the game doesnt take itself serious (this one surely doesnt) this can lead to some crazy entertaining stuff.

I been served some insane stuff here i have never seen in an Adult VN before. (Dont want to spoil anything)

The visuals start from level "MEH"(renders of the first verions), becoming really enjoyable later. Since its obvious the DEV is working hard on this i have nothing to complain

So ... who is this game for? Who should avoid it?

If you like to play something different than the rest ... something funny ... something feelin fresh and entertaining. DAMN, get on the bus and have a crazy ride!

If you want something hyper realistic, if Mama is the only one allowed to touch MCs pee pee ... Butterflys are your best friends and your personal little world has to be bright and shiny all the day ....better avoid this game.

P.S. Pledge levels are really fucking fair. If you like the game, plz consider to support the DEV working on it.

This really just didn't do it for me though I'm probably in the minority that cares more about writing than simply "GIMME SEX SCENES". The first part of the game begins with the character wanting to "fuck as many girls as possible", and I mean come on? This instantly killed the flow for me and many of the girls seem to want to fuck you 2 seconds after meeting you. The gym receptionist may also be the dumbest and most one dimensional character I've ever seen in a game. The renders are quite well made however which is nice

The game lacks focus and has spread itself too thin. After the last update (0.26b) I'd say that the bad outweighs the good.

The game doesn't take itself seriously, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is so unbelievable that you can't really get invested in the story or the characters.

The story events are strictly linear, and you aren't given any meaningful choices to make. So there's no interesting gameplay in the game. You just open up the hints section, and go whatever it tells you to go. It's just meaningless busywork.

There is a wide variety of characters, but the lack of any significant player control over the protagonist becomes a problem when you encounter a character you can't stand. It's a bit like having one of those boxes of assorted chocolates where a couple are delicious, most are okay, and a few are downright nauseating. It would be great if you could just pick out your favourites, but having all of them forced down your throat makes for an unpleasant experience.
