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

[Silk&MilkProductions]

As far as I can gather, the problem with saves is due to that dirty patch some weirdo keeps uploading (which I totally disavow!). If you have a save from the clean (official) version, it won't load the saves once the patch is installed. Only previous saves with the patch will work. Hope that makes sense.

I have to admit that my first impression of Primal Instinct (airport scene) was negative.

The renders of Sandra and Alex (especially her botox lips) gave me the creeps.

Also, characters like Alex are probably my least favourite ones.
She's grown up (she appears like she's already in her 20s), still a virgin, madly in love with her brother and so focussed on him she seems unable to live a life on her own now he's gone.
I really can't stand dependent and clingy characters like her.
In my opinion her (already established) excessive longing for the MC is also kind of a lame incest motive.

Then there's Blake, one of those annoying douchebag "bros", you wish you could instantly launch into outer space.
Seriously - why is this guy even on our honeymoon?

Fortunately Primal Instinct gets better after you survive the initial onslaught of creepiness.

Renders are overall pretty well done - you will still occasionally face some scenes that seem unintentionally odd / creepy / cringy (yeah, I'm aware the last one is supposed to be a grimace - still...):

The music is fitting.

There are several misspellings (still needs better proofreading).
MC and Meghan calling each other "wife" and "husband" sounds kinda weird.

Characters are interesting.
I'm missing some more (random) hotel guests - apart from the main characters the whole place feels kinda deserted.

The story is enigmatic and got me somewhat hooked.

There's also a decent amount of meaningful choices with different outcomes (scenes).

A bit of more specific criticism:

Overall pretty good and recommended.

I'm glad you got past the airport scene. Those were literally my first renders in Daz (no prior experience), hopefully I've shown that I'm getting better at it. I've re-rendered some scenes from v.0.02 and I might get around to redoing some renders from v.0.01. I have to find a balance between getting the next update ready, and fixing old renders.

The Samara scene has been brought up before. Why doesn't the MC just punch her in the freaking face on Meghan's route?

I try to leave little clues, or explain why something is happening in the dialogue. Little bits and pieces here and there. But I get the feeling people are just clicking through as fast as possible, or not really paying attention. That doesn't mean you might not find a plot hole somewhere. I do my best, but it's probably bound to happen with multiple paths.

Aha!

...

Thanks for your reply.

I think you're doing a pretty good job with the renders, especially with the lighting.

Definitely not a text skipper here as I play adult games primarily for their stories - so either a VN gets me interested or I delete it.
Naughty scenes are just the icing.

I did recognize the clues, but to me it wasn't obvious to what extent the hypnotic stuff would affect the MC's ability to act.
I didn't want him to get physical, but at least try to stop her fondling his dick (and I'm aware for men this can easily mean superhuman efforts... ).

So in the future can we expect the MC to be "hypnotised" into more or can the MC figure out to resist? Really not a fan of forced hardcore content like sexual assault (which that scene was) or rape.

You have a choice to make right before that scene occurs. It will impact future content regarding Samara.

Nice. I was hoping the "look away" actually meant something for the future cause it didnt have any affect on that scene though.

I thought that when you're on a honeymoon trip with your wife, you will have lots of sex but not on this one, just one doggy scene and that's it (Foreplays like oral doesn't count), sorry to spoil it, looks like the Mei path has more content damn ! I wish it was the wife, she's so hot especially with her hair down

People keep saying there is more sexual content on the Mei path and that is completely false. Are we even playing the same game?

Here is a breakdown of sexual content for each respective path.

Again, I reiterate, it seems people are only playing one path and then making presumptions about the other.

I think people were comparing more sex for Meghan path but more story on Mei path. From what I have read anyways. Only played Meghan path myself and no interest in Mei path

 

[Dependable_223]

I don't believe that girl at the airport had anything to do with the cast of this story. I think she was just someone who was late for her flight. Just a little detail thrown in by the developer. She certainly hasn't shown up in the game since then.

While that defies some principles of writing plays, I don't expect Chekhov in a porn game.

It looks like it was one of the female cast

Maybe you are right. I havn't slept in 2 days. Fortunately for me I am thoroughly enjoying both paths. Originally I was only on the Mei path. Then after this update, I replayed the entire game on both paths and I'm so glad I did. Meghan is just a really fun character, her and the MC just have terrific chemistry. Very well written.

 

[alpharenji]

I hate the wife ( she ugly ) but love the Sister and Mei and the Mother in that order

 

[Ero - Sennin]

Since there is incest tag, If MC can have fun with his sister and mother in the future, It would be great if Meghan will also have fun with her brother, just one of the consequences for cheating on her

They are on the honeymoon trip so it would makes sense if there will be more intimate moments (Making love) with the wife because their sex is short like a quickie and not satisfying enough (Doesn't feel like honeymoon sex at all) rather than chasing somebody else ( Maybe it's enjoyable if it has consequences )

 

[DiroGoodboy]

Absolutely superb writing and photography direction (not even sure if that's the correct term), I'm was so deeply into the Mei route that I actually felt bad for cheating at Meghan whilst slowly falling in love with the former, much like the protagonist. Even thought I prefer Mei, Meghan is really not a bad person, as her own route proved to me, and a great partner, which puts the MC, and us, in a very awkward but highly interesting position.
Those scenes were we can see the sadness behind Mei's eyes really shook me, I can't wait for the next update.

Hit them with the light canon!
That 4th Imax camera sure proved in handy to shoot the scene in serene photon saturated game set.
