VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Primal Instinct [v0.07] [SilkandMilkProductions]

Interesting story so far but it doesn't really feel like a game since there's not many choices yet and a little too much foreshadowing for my taste. Also the animations look a little weird/wonky to me but will probably get updated in the future.

This game is fantastic! One of the best that I found here!

The renders are very well done, not just the characters but the setting as well. All the characters look really good, specially the ladies. The characters have expressions that matches the tone of dialogue which I find that it makes them more believable.

What really got me hooked is how the characters are written. They feel very real, especially the chemistry between the MC and wife. Normally I play as horndog, trying to get in the pants of everyone, here in this game I definitely need two playthroughs because I couldn't force myself to cheat on the saucy & lovely wife without feeling guilty.
I found the story very original and engaging, it has a good mix of everything: drama, humor (some very funny references there) , sex appeal and mystery.

I'm very curious to see how it will continue.

Definitely worth playing!

One of the very best games on this site....

I'm soo engrosed in the game with every update.

The game is both humorous, with a tinge of sadness in the mix of things.
Then there is a mysterious dreams that keep invading everyone if the MCs family. Love everything about this game,

[Rev @ v0.05]

Art's middle tier; models are decent, composition is okay, but overuse of POV camerawork gets annoying at times.

Writing flow is competent on a wordflow basis. I have an intense dislike of the voice, the characterization, and the 4th wall winks. Narrative feels forced and foreshadowing is heavyhanded.

Porn is dull and vanilla.

Compelling story and top tier rendering. This might genuinely be the best looking game I’ve seen in a while, the use of lighting is especially great at setting up a particular tone and vibe for any given sense. There’s a sense of foreboding in the scenes themselves which does wonders for the feeling of immersion. We also get some absolutely captivating H scenes that are really entrancing. The only real negative I can think of is that the sideplot with the sister seems fairly removed from the main plot, definitely feel that could be cut down a bit. Otherwise a great game that needs more love!

Review after game was abandoned:

This game had a lot of potential and I think it had very high highs and very low lows. Meaning that I believe the game did some stuff very well. The relationship building and bonding with the LIs was extremely natural, it was funny, it was real. The renders were quite pretty, the LIs varied in appearance and weren't cookie cutter supermodels but all had beauty in their own way. I think some renders had very high attention to detail and I genuinely loved the look of the game. But the game did some things quite badly.

The problems set in when so much content that I'm not sure I cared for was tossed in. Seeing Samara (one of the future LIs I think? In long, drawn-out dream sequences along with family members etc) along with protagonist switches with a side plot with the MCs family that was rather bland.... It just got rather bloated and confusing. I think this game tried to make a real point of the forbidden love and incest, tried to give backgrounds and build up for so many people that weren't even part of the story yet, (MCs family for the most part) and it just ended up being messy.

The dev had a vision of what he wanted the game to be but the road to get there was long and a hard journey. I mean the game got abandoned before any of the love interests in the backgrounds got intimate with the MC (barring dreams) so all that build up was all for nigh.

I applaud the ambition and dream the dev had for his game but I think he failed to grasp the complexity of this. And when people didn't seem captivated by this disjointed project, he bailed.

At the end of the day, this game was pretty good. I enjoyed it quite a bit and I'm sad to see it go but it's easy to see where the game's shortcomings are. I'll give my final rating of it 3/5. Try it, the two main LIs were done quite brilliantly and that's where the beauty of the games lies, not with 4 different random storylines, some of them being pointless dreams.

Just tried out this game (version 0.4) and I'm disappointed I didn't find it earlier. The renders are excellent, not just the character models but also the settings and the lighting for scenes. The artist does an amazing job of conveying emotions (often very subtly) through gestures.
The characters models are beautiful with a great diversity. The mother actually looks old enough to be a mother while still maintaining a very attractive quality. The two main love interests, Meghan and Mei, are quite beautiful. The secondary characters have their own unique appearances. As is normal for game of this sort, all of the females are extremely attractive.
The story is quite well-written, with very good english. Normally on games like this I only play the rogue or harem path (if available) but the wife path is very intriguing and holds it's own with the Mei-centric path. It does a great job of presenting a couple very much in love. The Mei path is very good, with a hint of sadness that evokes a protection response which fits extremely well in the scenario.
The is a mystical element in the game which adds an unknown element into the narrative which could be quite intriguing. That being said, if it is not handled well it could drag down the story.
I am very impressed with this game, it is clearly one of the better ones on here and I look forward to what the dev does to further develop the story. This clearly deserves 5 stars.

5 stars worthy game?
- definitely.
Storyline is nothing like I've seen before. No usual incest shit. Unique Lovable models and they do feel alive.
Now for pros and cons -
+ Beautiful renders
+Expressions
+Length ( for a 0.4 version it does have a lot of content)
+Writing
++ Models
++Story

Now, now, cons? There aren't any, honestly. ( Purely my opinion)

Sidenotes:
It felt very original, funny at times, made me chuckle a twice or thrice too.
Would recommend to anyone hovers through the reviews bar.

Good game overall with a few weird aspects that hold it back from being great.
Pros:
-beautiful renders

-interesting characters (for the most part)

-story full of mystery and intrigue

-Mei is actually a goddess

Cons:
-I see absolutely no reason at present to follow the "wife path". Not only is Mei way hotter, but also the MC and his wife don't have a particularly close relationship or any real bond worth mentioning. The story contextualizes some of this (MC and his wife rushed into marriage b4 they were ready), but this just makes it easier to choose Mei over her.

-Some personal taste here but I don't like the look of the wife. Doesn't ruin the game because Mei is absolutely stunning, but still a bit of a bummer.

-There are several portions of the story that follow the Hannah character and some other girl who's name I always forget. These segments are almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the story and have very different tone. They're not awful but transitioning so quickly from mystery and intrigue to a "teen angst" vibe is very jarring. It's always a bit disappointing when you reach another one of these scenes because it feels like the game's been put on pause.

TLDR: Mei alone makes this game worth following. The main storyline of the game is also quite interesting and mysterious.

Holy fuck. It's been a while since I rated something 5 stars for just overall outstanding production value. I've given 5 stars for games that set out to do one thing and does it well (some japanese NTR, Black/anime lilith stuff), but this type of game is really something special and rare.

First of all, I would say this game can stand toe to toe with ANY of the top games that are universally praised. In fact, I might even go on to say that this dev kind of takes the best of both worlds from DPC and Philly's style. The narrative style is a bit similar to Philly. The plot is full of mystery and intrigue but It's not overtly convoluted or hard to follow. There is quite a bit of forshadowing and slowly revealed plot elements that really draws you in. Now add to this the incredible complexity and realness of the characters that's characteristic of DPC's games, and you end up with this amazing writing.

The dialogue is extremely natural in the way people speak. You won't see a hint of odd phrasing or stiff dialogue. Everyone's personalities are extremely well reflected on how they speak.

The renders are out of this world. The animation looks as good as the best stuff on this site, but I don't care much for animations. What really sets this game apart in the visual department is the INCREDIBLE facial expressions and mannerisms that are depicted. You don't see this kind of thing in many games. In fact, I don't remember it to this extent in even stuff like BaDIK. You can absolutely tell that the dev puts extreme effort into the little details like shifting eye gaze, multiple renders to show someone pacing around in thought, and making sure every movement/expression matches what the text is saying. There is so much I can say about this aspect of the game, but none of it would do it justice. Its just superb.

Combine the above two paragraphs and you end up with some of the most compelling characters I've seen in adult gaming. There is not one throwaway character so far. Even a random underling who has a brief exchange with Mei, or a bartender has enough substance to leave some kind of impression.

I don't want to spoil the plot too much, but there is some fantasy elements at work here. Some type of bloodlines and interplay between past/present is in the works. It's still too early to really discuss the plot, but I can say it seems pretty ambitious. The dev definitely has to writing chops to pull it off though.

That leaves the porn aspect. The renders and animations are great. The models are unique. The scenes themselves are quite hot too. As for me though, I already placed this VN above the "fap content" category, so I won't be disappointied even if I get zero faps from it. Who knows though? Maybe the depravity will be dialed up later on when all the supernatural stuff really gets going.

One of the game I absolutely adore..Really loved Meghan ,the dialougues between the MC and Meghan are really good ..I liked the stuff with the asian girl but I hate to go against Meghan xD .The plot seems to be interesting .Looking forward to the next update

So far this has everything you would expect from a good game: great renders, complicated characters, engaging story and good writing. Two paths - loving and cheating, quite different and both stand out through different stuff.

Personally i enjoyed the love path more but the other is more interesting and you get more lore out of it, and some more dramatic and intense scenes.

Good game and has loads of potential.

+Very good render and amazing lightning
+Choices matter. You can play diffrent two path.
+Mystery
+Good writing dialogues


-Mother and sister( I don't like their story.)




aaand very likeable game!

Very likeable game!

Characters are various, each of them having its own story/background.
Graphic/renders are good with the girls/women being as hot as they differ in personalities.
Story/plot is at the very beginning. In-game choices are numerous, but in some occasions they lack meaningfulness. Ah, well sometimes "all roads lead to Rome" (particularly in porn games )
In-game atmosphere is tense, with touch of mystery, and highly enjoyable. Some pretty bad and/or hot stuff could be expected to happen in this excellent "Game Noir"...Hopefully mc will prevail at the end, alongside with his beloved ones

Highly recommended game!

Very unlikable game. Story is forced upon player, it's uninteresting and it awakes primal instinct in player for pressing "skip text" button.
There are various characters inside, but almost all of them are badly written and designed. There is no one to relate or to care about.
From visual aspects, only that satanic follower Hannah is somewhat appealing.
Renders are so-so.
Choices without choices are extremely big minus.
Wish I never tried this, but misleaded by positive reviews I made a mistake. Hope this one will save some of my kindlings from unnecessary suffering due to exposure to this game. Avoid.

Wow! This game (visual Novel)is so far one of the absolute best I have ever played. I truly believe it is a masterpiece in the making. It is heavily story driven, with a plot laden in mystery and intrigue. It really does feel like a movie script unfolding before your eyes. It has a unique and diverse cast of characters both graphically and personalty wise. The dialogue is very well written, never boring, not overly wordy, and is at times humorous, even amid the darker overtones of the story. There are 2 main paths so far (more in the future I'm sure) based on the 2 main love interests, the wife Meghan (a red-headed cutie) and Mei (a mysterious asian beauty). And I'd highly recommend playing both paths to get the full scope of the plot. The dev. does a superb job of getting you to actually care for each of these two characters if you are on their respective path. The Meghan path is a bit more light hearted, cute, and funny (and currently has more sexual content). The Mei path is more romantic and yet, is much darker, sullen and melancholic.

THE GRAPHICS: Renders are quite beautiful and natural looking (skin imperfections are a nice touch). The animations are pretty darn good for a first time developer as well. Loving the eye movements too. The environments all looked unique to me (the only one I recognized was the boutique). Lighting and shadows all look fantastic. Being able to see reflections in the characters eyes is probably overlooked, but a very nice touch. The only real flaw I noticed is that the lighting changes a bit when some of the animations start.

THE MUSIC: Composed by the Dev. himself, does a really nice job of creating the intended mood, atmosphere and ambience of each scene, just as it would in a movie. So I highly recommend that you play this with the music on. I feel it is an important part the experience.

THE CHARACTERS:

MC: A very likeable fellow who I think many players will be able to identify with. Adapts well to the mood of the various scenes. His inner monologues are well written to show his inner turmoil when on the cheating path.

MEGHAN: (the wife) very cute, playful, fun and love-able. You truly feel bad for her when you are on the cheating path.

MEI: (mysterious asian hostess) Love-able and romantic with an air of sadness about her. You really want to save her from the inner hell she is trying to keep hidden.

BLAKE: (the annoying brother in-law) Well he doesn't annoy me, I find him mildly amusing.

MR. MISHA NOVAK: (the main villain) we don't entirely know exactly what he is up to yet, but it most certainly sinister. This dude is creepy, dark, and scary as fuck. Undoubtedly someone you'll love to hate, but what's a good story without an antagonist?

SAMARA: (the villain's daughter) Very seductive and beautiful. In cahoots with her father. You'll enjoy being seduced by this sultry dame (and probably regret it later).

LAWAN (fiery asian prostitute) little petite firecracker. Her and her engrish are very funny.

ALEX (MC's younger sister) Very nerdy (yet pretty) with a despondent soul. Obviously has a very deep Incestuous love for her brother. Very jealous of his wife.

SANDRA (mc's mother) Finally a milf that actually looks her age. Very Pretty too. A stable lady, yet sad and lonely after her husband left her for another woman. Obviously her son could eventually fill that void.

TRISHA (mc's older sister) Don't know enough about her yet. Pretty though.

HANNAH (mc's younger half sister) Cute but troubled and wild.

Game developer SilkandMilkProductions seems very seasoned in writing and game development yet this is his/her first attempt. Also seems seasoned in life. I have no doubt that once this game is completed that the name Silk&Milk will be mentioned among some of the other highly respected writer/developers such as Dr PinkCake and PhillyGames. So S&M keep doing your thing (you are good at it, and I hope it is your passion). Your support got a decent boost after this update but is still not on par with the product you are putting out, but I have no doubt it will get there.

Game has loads of potential, great renders and an engaging story. The characters are all unique in both looks and personality which is something we don't get to see often in these games. Really looking forward to much more from this gem.

Good start for a v.02, the story is quite intriguing and the girls all look great. Animations for the (few) H scenes in already are good, nothing mindblowing but they are good. Gets the job done as they say.

It does seem a slightly odd choice to have the MC on holiday and two (probably three) of the main girls left behind, probably more perplexing to me since Alex is my number one interest in the game so far. The wife is an awesome character don't get me wrong, her personality is perfect, but Alex is more my type and I'm a sucker for the "hot nerd" trope. Anyway it's just interesting, makes me wonder how long the honeymoon will last since we obviously have to get back to Alex and the "mom" character sooner or later.

Also the lack of an NTR tag leaves me somewhat confused about where the story is going. The whole scenario with Mischa seems perfectly set up for him to try and steal your wife or some shit, but without the tag I have to assume that isn't it. Which leaves me wondering what the hell his game is... Hopefully if it does go that way it's at least avoidable, and not in the way that if you go after anyone but your wife she is gonna get stolen by this guy. Anyway as I said, an intriguing start to the story.

Oh yeah and Meghan's HAIR. Holy shit, it is amazing. Looks so good when she is blowing you.

Surprisingly robust for 0.2. There are some really hot implications for future releases. Models are great. Tension is nice. A lot different of story than most of the content on F95. Not that much sexual content yet though.

So far not that great to me. For now you can go with 2 paths, mei or meghan. Neither are really appealing to me. Normally that goes up with the storyline, unfortanatley the story line is also not that great. There are a lot of diffrent things happening without a bit of explaination. So the one good thing in this game is the renders, really gorgeous.
