Ren'Py - PMC Promiscuity [v1.1.5 Steam] [Overseer Division Studios]

PMC Promiscuity [v1.1.5 Steam]
When i first saw this game i thought ''this looks like an easy 8.5/10 kind of game''
When i first started playing i went to ''this is starting to look more like a 7/10''
When the boring, half-assed, obligatory and repetitive ''minigames'' came up i went to ''this is a solid 5/10 game''
When i saw the loading screens where fake, and only existed to waste the player's time i went to ''this is easily a 4/10''

got 2 scenes with all the 3 chicks, very bland and boring ones, and thats when i realized i should not be wasting my time on this game.

The worst thing you can do is not respect the player's time, and this game mocks your time actively, also, no gallery btw, the only reason i'm not giving a 1 star is because at the very least the art is innovative, but all in all, quite a bad product.

Rating 2/5 or a D rank.

The voice acting was surprisingly good, and the character design is pretty cool. One thing that bothered me a little was that sometimes in CGs the characters are drawn in a somewhat irregular way, but besides that, pretty good game.

While I really like the aesthetic the game has, a lot of that is lost on the many annoying little things the game does. The gameplay loop itself quickly becomes monotonous, the inability to skip dialogue is unfortunate, and the loading screens take me out of the game. Fortunately there are ways to modify the game to alleviate some of these woes, but players shouldn't have to rely on modding to use options that should be in the game by default.

all the characters are likeable, all the characters have unique personalities, I personally don't like the tsundere type characters but here (shizu) starts as a pure ass but she does warm up to the player without leaving the being an ass part of her personality, though the minigames can be a bit of a chore its not so bad that it makes you want to go to sleep though they can be tedious

I really love the art style. The Minigames are a little bit tedious but worth it since the game is entirely voice acted. The between scenes loading screen comedy snippits are also great and give a little levity to the game.

I actually really like the game. The art is great and the worldbuilding is fun.

However, it is so tedious to play I have to rate it a 1 star until something changes. There are forced loading screens that are completely unnecessary and only exist to pad out playtime. There are these godawful minigames that again, only exist to pad playtime.

It seems like the dev is actively trying to discourage you from playing the game. If there was an option to disable these stupid fucking loading screens and minigames, this game would prob get a 4/5 star. As it stands im uninstalling.

Will update review if this dogshit is either removed, or at least a skip function is added.

EDIT: Luckily, I found a mod in the thread that allows you to skip minigames and loading screens. Even without those, there is still a decent amount of content. The game is super enjoyable, even with the unnecessary sandbox (that sometimes results in narrative continuity issues). However, I shudder to imagine how miserable it would have been to finish the content as intended.

Devs, more people will drop your game rather than look for mods/skip functions. Add a visual novel mode, or remove the shitty minigames/loading screens. At the very least make them skippable. You would need a lobotomy to go through these minigames and loading screens every time you wanted to progress.

Excellent dialogue and characterization. Very unique and vibrant art. Some of the best writing of all the games I've ever played here.

The worldbuilding is fascinating — a futuristic military setting with animal girls with magic. The main character is a bit plain but not offensively so and actually has a personality.

Not only are they a great artist, they also make very great porn. And that's just the drawings so far! The writing is delicious, and this is most certainly the forefront providers of Fox sex, foxgirl sex, even. What more could anyone ask for? seriously, good shit.

What has the Dev done to this game? The user experience is so much worse.
It feels like the Dev artificially increased the time, so people cant refund this game on steam.
It is borderline unplayable right now.

cons:

- The loading times are extremely long, between the dialogue, to get to the next day and the time before and after the minigames. (Its like a Bethesda game)
- minigames are boring and you need to do this, to continue the story
- There is no skip button
- You cant rollback with the mouse wheel.
- No automatic forward button
- No viewing history
- You cant right click to save/load
- You cant increase the text speed

neutral:

o The change of art looks ok, the old art was definitely better (At least you get the old scenes when you finishing the epilogue from the characters.)

pros:

+ I like the voices
+ The story is also great
+ The characters (I really like the characters design and the personalities from the different characters)



For now because of the user experience its a 1/5.
Really! What a shame I really liked this game.

EDIT

Its now a 4/5.

He changed the user experience.
He added the back, history, and auto forwarding buttons

although it isnt animated it makes up for it with the amazing art and good voicelines.

All the characters have theire own charm wich makes them memorable in their own way, besides they are all a 10/10 with each character having their own distinguishable personality and cute interactions between them

1.16.4

Not the greatest game I've played but still good. Has a non-standard premise which is refreshing. The MC is rather bland but you can look past it for the most part as the other characters bounce off each other rather well.

v.1.14.4

PMC is a straightforward game with strong art and decent writing that is definitely worth trying out.

It's not a complicated game and, validly, there has been the suggestion that it could just as easily be a kinetic novel. You essentially play the role of a new recruit to a private military company who gets to know some of the core non-human members in "depth". The plot is fine and the "gameplay" is far from complex, with you just going through character event after character event.

The characters may come across as archetypes, but by the same token are written to be varied enough from each other as to why you're being used as their stress relief. To be fair, it's also worth noting that that's the social dynamic - they're not suddenly worshipping you for no reason and this isn't your stereotypical self-insert game.

There's currently about a dozen H scenes in the game, some of which are quite lengthy. There is the obvious problem of hand-drawn games where sometimes something is said in the text that isn't reflected in the art, but this is really a minor nitpick and doesn't really detract from the scenes.

Overall, it's currently a fairly compact but strong game that's definitely worth a try if the art samples in the screenshots catch your eye.

good art, nice voice acting and different cast of characters
it most definitely has potential. gameplay is non existent and its fast to finish though . kinda annoyed i have to write 200 characters for a review though

This is a fantastic game!

The art style is unique
The sound and voice of the different characters are great
And the voices match the respective characters
Story is also great
The personality of each character is different and they feel also different.

Unfortunate there are no animations, but I understand this with this unique art style.

Its definitely worth it, to test this game and support the devs!

5/5!

not normally a big fan of dating sim type games but the characters are really unique with their own personalities and whatnot. dialogue is pretty good and the scenes are decently lengthy, art is great too. shizu best girl

I'll toss a 5/5 on this, sure.

Should note that I'm reviewing what the game is and not what it isn't. What it is, your typical sandbox, isn't really a favorite of mine. It also doesn't make a ton of sense. I think the sandbox aspect should strongly be reconsidered; this game is honestly more than fine as a kinetic novel. Arguably better; considering some events reference others and (as far as I can tell) the game assumes you're doing everyone roughly evenly. I don't know if you can focus on one girl and that one girl's events will reference others which you theoretically haven't seen. At the very least I can confirm that it's kinda weird when people mention things which happened in-game weeks ago as if they just happened.

But I get it, people want to be able to click button and fuck girl.

So with that aside; the cast is great. About as wide and deep as you can expect from a 4 "heroine" game. It straddles this line where the girls will mention being fucked by others, but you're also the only man there- neither of which would bother me, but it's context I'd imagine the game could address. There's such a wide range of comparables: the Yuzusofts and Black Lilith's of the VN world- this one falls more on Yuzusoft, even if the setting could easily have been more of a raw nukige.

Scenes are great. Game needs the ability to replay them soon, but it's not a deal breaker and the girls are good enough to carry the game. I normally wait for a game to be more approximately what it will ultimately be to review, but this would be some Shakesperean bag fumbling if the game actually doesn't end up being worthy of a 5/5 later- so I'm tossing in the stars now.

Edit; forcing loading screens and slow minigames to extend the projected playtime beyond the 2 hour refund window is a smart move, but it makes the game so much worse. The girls are still great- and I don't mind grinds. I do mind time being wasted.

Great artwork and story line so far. A very nice visual novel that will hopefully continue this trend of artwork. I look forward to seeing more story and art work updates soon, as well as, more new types of content.

Amazing art.
nice voice acting.
fun story with reasonably personality filled horny characters.
5/5 would pay 30cad for full release

and im required to write a 200 word essay on this so. hey, hows life? not pushing yourself too hard devs? hope you're having fun making this

I need a longer story but so far I'm enjoying it. Kinda wondering where it's leading. All the girls seem great so far but snake girl might be a favorite. Only a few spelling mistakes here and there otherwise it seems to flow pretty well.

Great art! good Voice over! leaves you wanting more at just about every interaction, which is rare for a game like this. I think the biggest thing is the writing is actually decent. So many games have JUST good writing or JUST good art, this one has both!
