VN - Ren'Py - Race of Life [Act 1 v1.02] [Underground Studio]

Ep.1
Very good story, interesting characters. Love the writing.

Good music.

Lovely ladies. Good scenes, except the last one. Too short and nothing interesting.

I'll keep an eye on this. Great potential. Please, release your game on Steam.

GL in development. Cheers.

We have right here probably the most promising game in the few 6-8 months.

The renders and visuals look crazy, really top tier, as well as the scenes. Damn they look great. The characters feel good, real (extremely sexy, but real), as well as the plot and the situations. Every university game feels like a bunch of teenagers dying for an easy fuck (well, sometimes life is like that too, but not usually), but this one here gives us a more real scenario.

And then, the plot and the writing are really solid, something that lacks in this type of games.

Congrats to the dev, with patience and good work this can end in one of the best games on this site, no doubt.

High quality VN. Story is well written and i would say the developer did a good amount of research about certain topics. All named female characters are beautiful and have strong unique personality, hopefully each one of them will have a decent story. I strongly recommend this game.

Story setup is refreshingly different. The MC is older and isn't some college dude. He's divorced and even has a kid and ex he has to deal with.

Of course, he's still a conveniently hot capable dude that that all the women want to fuck, and the story still sort of takes place at college sometimes since the MC is a professor. Which of course means he's going to fuck some students.

As an AVN, it does the main things well - renders, animations are good from the get go.

The writing is funny and is working so far.

This is a damn good start to a AVN. Has good adult scenes, much much better story than most, actual drama, and the graphics and animation are all on point.

If you are looking for a game with x fap moments per scene, go somewhere else. If you are looking for quality entertainment, good story, and those sexy moments, then this is a great game for you.

I personally love the pace and the setup in EP1. Will be keeping an eye on this one for sure.

Really good game with amazing promise. Good renders and good spelling..
I would give this game 5/5 straight up. Because its not perfect but it has plenty of potential. But then i came to the hospital scene. No spoilers, but that is the most unrealistic shit ever. No fucking doctor would ever talk like that because he has done it a million times. And no fucking person even as a bystander would not beat the shit out of him for what he said.

This is for the Dev. ABSOLUTELY DOGSHIT writing on the hospital scene. wtf is wrong with you? You think that doctors are THAT cold? blaming the parents for an accident? Its still early in the games development. You should consider rewriting this bit!! No doubt it will put people of.
Also, i love this renders, but i cant help to miss ALOT more facial expressions. They dont have to be over the top, but when there is normal conversing in the VN, its mainly just open or closed mouth. I feel like you could improve the immersion a lot with very little effort in that regard.

The best game I have ever played! This is a MUST-PLAY for literally EVERYONE if I have ever seen one. A rather vanilla but definetely not generic story implemented by visuals and writing that are just pure perfection.

This is, so far, the best 1st episode of a game. The story is so well written, the renders are gorgeous and the characters look credible. This could make a good TV show even... It has been a long time since I have been absorbed in a story and kudos to the Dev and Writer for the amazing work here.

Version: EP.1

Rating: 8.5/10 (Subject to change)

I'll try not to say too much yet as it's incredibly early days but what a game... Handled with so much maturity compared to other VN's and I can see Race of Life having some legit good romance. I don't even like cars really but it gives me feint nostalgia from the Need for Speed underground days and the first Fast and Furious films.

From what I have seen, everything is done well and to a high standard. The game probably deserves a 9/10 but It's too early. Great models, renders, animations, story, dialogue and a nice array of characters so far (young and mature).

This game definitely deserves to be on the homepage and I hope it happens soon. There's also 2 people working on this game instead of the regular 1 man show so lets hope development is more streamlined.

BIG RECOMMEND. Give it a go if you're into deep stories and connections with characters, I think we're going to get a lot of that.

Very very well written dialog and so far, a fairly coherent and interesting story. I like the character development so far as well. Renders and animations are excellent too. There is just enough sex scenes that are mostly appropriate for the context, but this is supposed to be a porn vn, so no points off for going off the rails here and there.

The writing on this initial release is just tremendous. Lots of devs when they want to say something funny will put a "haha" or *chuckle* or something in there <cough college kings cough>, this dev actually writes something funny. When the MC is supposed to be charming he actually says something charming. Its really quite extraordinarily well done. The renders and animations aren't ground breakingly amazing, but are nicely done. Frankly, I'm really excited to see how this one goes. 0.1's don't really get much better than this.

Review EP2:

For some reason, this game decided to get into the boring side of AVN's. Using physics terminology quite often. It's not something that even 0.5% of the population is familiar with but it bores you to death if you aren't active in the field. I got the gist of most of it but this is a porn AVN. It could've been way less technical.

I'm not even sure if the science behind a lot of this game adds up. Yet, they felt the need to force-feed us BORING dialogue to an extreme degree. This is a porn game after all and they seem to be providing me an advanced course in physics—hard pass.

Good story so far renders look great my only hang up is the monkey arms. Every time they show his arm in a scene all I can think of is wtf why did Underground make his arms so damn hairy. If you guys see this for the love of god wax my guys arms its distracting as hell or maybe im just weird. Great game so far well worth the support.

I have one word for this VN - INCREDIBLE. This might be the pinnacle of an initial release/demo. The way the characters are written and interact is so tasteful and the the concept seems promising. I don't care much for the sci-fi stuff, but because the characters are so great, I am invested. There is also so much content that I was surprised when I found out this is a first release.

This is also an incredible technical showing. The character models look great and super detailed, and the lighting is excellent. All the women look extremely attractive.

Race of life [Ep.1]

Good first release. You don't get AVN about racing it's nice see it here. Interesting story and likeable characters. Loved every character in this one. Waiting to see how MC's relationship progress with them. Also waiting to see more of the racing events and gambling. Give this one a try it's worth playing. Keep up the good work dev looking forward to next release.

+ Story
+ Renders
+ Cars
+ Writing
+ Fair amount of content

Absolutely awesome game. Im so glad i found this one. Normally i hate games where youve been divorced even more so if the MC is the one responsible for it. But this game is so good it doesnt even bother me. I love the plot the emotions brought into it and the seriousness and tragedy the story holds. It might be kinda fucked up that you can go and have sex with the next women you see while freshly dealing with your serious problems but i guess the player can choose and its a porngame afterall. Some people might just deal with shit diffrently
But beside all that the setting overall is quite unique and the story itself is amazingly well written. There is a lot of humour in this game and the dev seems to love to think up puns. Overall i think the dev understands how to give the characters a personality and how to bring across the story.
Apart from that the game looks simply awesome and the renders are beautifully made. The sex scenes are well animated and the sound and music accentuates the atmosphere and enhances the gamingexperience very well.

Overall i can just say this is an amazing game and deserves respect and recognition.

I like Race of Life and although the story is not a revolution, it is still a unique premise.

I like two things in particular.

1) There is an underage girl and she is NOT sexualised. She is simply the protagonist's daughter and there is no innuendo at all. She is a sweet girl you want to protect. Nothing more, nothing less.

2) Race of Life tells an adult story. No college dramedy, no coming-off-age, it is slice of life but it is slice of life for adults. The LIs are all adults, they look the part and the MC is not an overachiever but a normal guy with talents and flaws.

On the technical side, the renders are very good, definitely way above average, the music is pleasant and the plot has a good underlying tension and a decent arc of suspense that is sure to pick up speed as the plot progresses.

There is nothing I dislike about this VN. Granted, it's still very early in development and a lot can happen over the years but it shows all the right signs.

edit in 2024: I'm downgrading one star because I think as the story progresses, the LIs increasingly rely on the MC and as a result become less complex characters. Allisson contributes basically nothing to collecting money to save their child. Victoria never rises beyond the lonely teacher trope. Other LIs completely rely on the MC to achieve anything meaningful, often stepping back entirely so the MC can do all the work.

edit, beginning of 2025: The conference really was a trope-fest. The sudden mix up of rooms with Allisson. The MC lining up girls left right and center. A lack of suspense and roadblocks along the way. It's starting to become a very convenient journey for an MC that is turning into a superchad - fast. His initial flaws evaporated.

Best Game On This Site Right Now!!
While Mc was talking about Wyatt i was afraid of being affected by NTR...
when i saw developer declared there will be no NTR....Love you Developer!
please keep Allison and other girls unharmed and safe...our girls are ours...
btw the romance between MC and Allison is best....wanna see them together in future update...

This was a really great first release, best renders and animations I've seen in a long time, and great story. Can't wait to see more to come! Has potential to be as great as Being a Dik, Artemis, and other of the best games

Excellent first release!

Fairly novel story, very good images and animations. Hot models, and plenty of them.

This is one of the better first releases I've ever played, it has a lot of content to this point as well for a first release. I only give four stars for now, because we'll see if the second release lives up to the quality of the first.

This is one to check out.
