Ren'Py - Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

For a game that has been in development for quite some time there is very little content, Its like playing a visual novel of Groundhog Day, Every day things are ever so slighly different, Its grindy as all hell too.

Don't get me wrong the animations are great & the characters are likable but there isn't much to be said about the game as the conent is so minor with each update sadly.

It's simple point click grinding insect game. Can't really say much, overall it's decent. Easy fap and easy and quick game. hope there is more nude contents tho. Literally holding CTRL and skip everything and u still can get pass this game. The uncle is a bit creep tho please dont add him in. I suggest more sex threesome scene as I played like 5hours and it not enough for quick fap lol but overall it's good game

Played through V 0.6.0
Power vacuum is a slow burn type game with someone good writing the dialogue. There are some hitches with wording but surprisingly few with things that made me laugh as I went through it.

It is mostly a VN with very little in the way of interactivity.
It has the potential for more open exploration modes but the dev seems to want to keep it streamlined with only a VN style playthrough.

The giggity parts don't start happening till about chapter 3.

Pros:
Some nice looking women in there

Cons:
If you are picky about how the women are drawn, IE: no circus boobs and no weird body proportions, some of the choices in here may bother you a lot.

1. Ophelia: Body rendering, i'd give it about a 4.5 out of 10, someone had too much fun with the boob and butt adjustments. If she were any more wierdly proportioned she'd belong in a circus act. In some scenes Ophelia's proportions change a bit.
2. Aliza: 7 out of 10 on rendering, better than most of the choices in there.
3. Catherine: 7,5 out of 10 on rendering, mostly proportional.
4. Mallory: 5 out of 10 on rendering, just weirdly proportioned and bleh.

It's not all bad but there's room for improvement IMO.

Witty banter with characters that has depth and nuances? In a AVN? What reality is this?

Seriously the humour is well done, laughs will be had and a feeling of being entertained will swoop down upon you. With the added bonus of it being sexy as well.
But it's more of the slow-burn kind of thing, quick wank? Pick another game for now!

Genuinely hilarious, with some of the best dialogue and jokes I've read in an AVN. Solid art that doesn't feel like a clone of every other AVN. The protagonist feels like a real person, and the change in his character and his appearance over the game is well done.

There is a small concern with lack of meaningful choice here, but it is entirely overcome with excellent writing and a plethora of wonderful characters. Could not recommend this more.

review based on 0.6 version (played also 0.2b before)
PRO:
- good CG
- animations presents
- built-in hints(not exactly hints, but very useful), so w/t dnt need it
- almost no grind
- easy eng
- some story presents
- good development progression (since 0.2b)
CONS
- sandbox space very small mentaly- i mean 10 rooms is ok, but mc not grounded, home imprisonrd etc... just looks like no other world outside house...

its good game in sandbox genre for me.

What really stands out for me in this game is the writing. It's excellent. Smartly written, funny and entertaining, the writing is truly beyond nearly any game in this genre.
The girls are smoking hot, too, which is a plus. I don't know if I'd enjoy a well written game if I couldn't stand the sight of the characters. Fortunately, that's not the case here.
Only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of how slow a burn this game is. Like, really slow. Getting to the end of chapter one was a grind, and all you got to see were a pair of breasts and a butthole. There's a lot of tags in this game, so I hope it picks up in chapter two. Grinding is one thing, but there should be reward tiers for it.
All in all, highly recommend if you enjoy well written games with pretty girls.

-edit- the grind is worth it! It is SO worth it! This game is smart, funny, sexy and everything in between. Some of those sex scenes - WOW! Keep up the amazing work, dev!

Love this game. Framework and plot are pretty standard but the writer does a great job with the characters and relationships and humor. Really like all the girls and that makes the tension with the rival even better.
The animations are plentiful and really good, though the could be longer and have a bit more control. I also had some problems with a previous picture flashing when the animations end.
Renders are very good looking too. And the sex scenes are great. The game play is a sandbox and a bit of a grind but you don't really need a walkthrough (except if you want to avoid the NTR, but there is a switch to turn it off anyway).
The MC starts off pretty annoying and meek but grows (in many ways) throughout the story which is great. Becomes much less of a pushover

So the caveats for people who may not like certain things.
1. the big one: NTR. I'm not really a big fan NTR and the MC i'm controlling getting humiliated but the fact that they are non-canonical helps. They are also pretty hot . I'd say even if you aren't a fan of NTR check out the scenes, they are worth it.
2. The bodies. I dig the kinda stylized big boobed big ass thing. Not in every game but it works here and they all look great. There is a bit of variation in the body types but not a ton. Huge cocks too, so if unrealistic dicks bug you that may be a problem. and Aheago a ton of that which i think is great but also not super realistic.
overall this is a tremendous game that everyone should give a go and don't let the NTR scare you away.
Funny, sexy and definitely worth you time

This game gets a 5/5 for the writing alone. Really funny and well written, one of the girls asks what semen smells like and another replies "It smells like boiling a hot dog in hotel pool water." I fucking died.

On top of that the animations are good, the girls are hot, it's a bit repetitive but not too bad.
Overall pretty great game, you'll get some good faps and some good laughs.

How to stretch a game that is tops 3 hours to 9 hours or more, sandbox with by the clock events, which you will repeat 2-3 times.

According to the walk-through there are around 420 at hour interactions from which there are less than 20 sex scenes.

Story, ok, nothing new, I have seen better, I don't see the comedy maybe it gets better after 0.4, so far the story it feels like a wet sock not bad but you want some dry socks as soon as possible but you just have wet socks.

Renders are ok, they get better with each release, on that department all good.

I dropped this at 0.4, because it was nothing new,same boring repeating story, same boring interaction, same boring dialog, and things were just jumping from 0 to 100 to 0.

If you are bored and want to read and click yeap good game, if you are looking for porn game well, if I remember correctly you might get some bj around 0.2 but you may have already spent a few hours up to that point.

If you cut out the time grind, you could probably have a decent VN, as your actions have no impact especially if you disabled the NTR.


TL;DR this game has 2 main problems, not that many sex scenes, which are separated hours apart because grind system add artificial gameplay time.

What I love:

• The story, man!

What I like:

• Character progress develops at a slow pace. One little step at a time.
• The tasks system makes it easier to focus on progression.
• The weird science around MC's medical condition(s) is laughable, but I like how the story develops around it. They lead to tons of funny situations.
• Models are very pretty and sexy (dammm Ophelia!). Not so much for Catherine.
• Models offer a nice variety for shapes and sizes.
• The nemesis is creepy as hell, funny and believable.
• Witty jokes and scenes. I found myself laughing out loud quite often.
  The 'inception' game is a funny subplot.

What I dislike:

• Bottom text could use a little shade to make it more readable.
• Random chitchat in the middle of sexy scenes is distracting and spoils the mood.
• Very few choices.

What I'd like to see:

• Catherine gettting more beatiful.
• Some more development on Ophelia's friends, specially Aliza.
• I liked the backflashes on Ophelia and her friends, it would be nice to see a bit more of their history.
  

I just spent 8 straight hours playing through everything and I gotta say, A fucking +, my guy. Not only amazing character design and a good story but the action was hot, too. Also, unlike any other game like this I've played (I've played a lot), the dialogue has some of the funniest bits of humor I've read in a while and definitely has laughing harder than I have in some time so this is already my favorite game and i'll be following development closely. Again, A+, dude.

P.S. This is the first comment I've ever left after playing a game and aside from downloading games, my first actual bit of activity so consider that in just how much I appreciate your work.

If you enjoy interesting facial expressions, this is going to fill that cup faster than you could say abrakadabra. The graphics is somewhat decent for a daz game, better than most but not as godly like some of the giants on this site. That's not to say it will distract you from enjoying the "game." As I played this game for a bit, started to get more and more interested as their were many good scenes. There are certain animations put in this game, that are not always sex related, which is an interesting choice that the author has decided to go with. Overall, would recommend... why else am I giving this a 5/5?

Go play the game, and you'll enjoy this gem as much as I did.

This is the funniest game I have found here! The character interactions are excellent and whoever wrote out the dialog needs to be doing sitcoms.

I am not an NTR fan myself but I had to turn on the switch and go through it. I ended up messing up on purpose every time to see what happened.

I saw where some people complained that you might have to cycle a day because you were locked out until you cleared a grind to let other events happen. This can be prevented in most cases by looking at the tasks involved and timing them out. In the long run it is flexibly linear. You can't move on till some things are done but not everything has to be done in the same order.

I actually love the facial animations. They are a touch cartooned in some cases but they fit with the humor of the content.

tl;dr: A total farce (in the theatrical sense, not the pejorative one), Power Vacuum is by a long ways the funniest damn thing you'll find on this entire forum. And I don't mean "it's funny for a VN" levels of low-expectation funny, it's legitimately and consistently hilarious.

One star off because unfortunately while the writing is top tier, the game design isn't. The whole daily schedule gameplay loop is fundamentally just a cookie clicker sort of timewasting deal because the narrative is a linear one. More than once you'll end up skipping through an entire day just to find and advance the one event needed to progress further. Some events are only relevant in the first chapter (I'm looking at you, 9:00) but persist on and on forever as roadblocks to the newer parts of the story that you will end up also having to skip over and over and over again.

The concept of the game is nothing special, fuck your family, but I like the little twist they put on it with having to compete with someone else. That being said NTR really isn't my thing, so I was initially turned away from this game until I realized there is an NTR toggle! Very nice feature. Where the game does shine is the writing, and in my opinion, the graphics/character design. The writing is fucking phenomenal, with most games I go in expecting a very mediocre story where I'm skipping through to get to the scenes, but this game has me constantly sitting here busting a gut, dick in hand. It's great. The game looks very good graphically and has some of my personal favorite character designs paired with great actual character writing. A good amount of content, and the story despite being pretty overdone, is still intriguing enough to keep me engaged.

This is the most fun I've had with a game. I laughed so often and so hard my stomach hurt. The scene with eva being noisy and the 3 women staring at brenna almost made my sick I laughed so hard. In general the dialogue was excellent. The writer has a great sense of timing and the artist caught the facial expressions perfectly

This game is awesome. The art is fantastic and for once a visual novel has great writing . The old dude is about as visually revolting as the irradiated firefighters from Chernobyl, but that kind of makes him more villainous and easy to hate. I just wish there were more NTR scenes, but to each their own.

This game has some of the best writing I have ever experienced. Just the back and forth between the characters is enough to keep you chuckling. Not to mention the renders are great and each of the characters are unique. Really well done. top 5 games ever imo.
