VN - Ren'Py - Race of Life [Ep. 3.1 Extra Fix v3] [Underground Studio]

• Grammar is on point and conversations are fun and engaging. Every character has their own "me" and there's little repetition.
• Renders and models are gorgeous, and animations are on point!
• Story is unique and exciting.

Incredible series, can't wait for more!

I dont actually like those movies like fast and the furious but this one maybe changed my perspective to this genre. The race scenes were fun too and didnt seen a lot of it on here and the characters are just peak! Liked it a lot and looking forward for episode 3. Cant wait!

Everything about this game is excellent! Aside from a few small complaints it's one of the best games I've played in some time.

Pros

• Excellent renders and graphics
• Excellent character models
• Excellent animations
• Excellent story
• Excellent writing
• Unique and interesting characters
• MC is likeable
• Good humor
• Good sex scenes (hate fuck scene is amazing!)
• Good choices that have some impact on the story
• Driving mini-game was fun and immersive

Cons

• A slow paced (slow burn) game - Not a con necessarily but the story did crawl at times and I found myself skipping some text. The story can get a bit verbose which made me bored a few times. An example is when you are chatting with the female doctor in her office (I got bored with the dialog so I just skipped to the end of the conversation).
• The MC starts relationships with many of the love interests in the game but only a few have much content currently. It will take literally forever to do full stories for all of them due to the slow game pace.
• A few too many predicable blowjobs towards the early parts of the game but it does get better and spicier.

I play these games for the story and the adult content and the game does both very well. The sex events are done well overall but a few could be more unique and longer. The multiple view angles is a nice touch on many of the scenes! Thank you for the smooth and excellent looking animations!

I'm impressed by the story and the writing. The English problems are very minor compared to most games on this site which is refreshing!

I highly recommend this game and encourage others to give it a try! Hats off to the authors on a job well done! Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to future content!

Finally something fresh and original, with great renders, interesting and well written characters and a good story. One of the best games here, I truly hope it will see the end.
Only (minor) negative not: I agree with some comments about some jokes being dragged a bit too long.

This is an excellent game with meaningful choices, beautiful renders, some great characters and a decent story. The story consists of 2 main themes, a car racing and betting theme, which I enjoyed quite a lot, and an ex-wife/family sob story theme, which I did not care for much. The last theme feels like a hamfisted attempt to invoke forced drama/emotions, and I just don't find it very fun nor interesting. I think the game would do better by exploring the racing and betting mechanics more in-depth in the future and forgoing forced soap opera drama.

Still, even though the game isn't perfect by any stretch, what is presented is very good and thus I am still giving a full rating, with some reservations. [Ep.2 Extra]

Amazing game so far!
Really like the efforts that have been put into this game by the developers.
Renders and LIs are look amazing , plot and second characters are well written.
Mechanics of the game with choices that matters.phone messages which totally ike IRL and pretty cool minigames makes the game even greater
Definitely Top Tier AVN, thanks to Underground Studio <3

Warning! English isn't my first language. Sorry for my grammar.
I'm pretty sure that for now it's one of the best Ren'Py games. Can't even imagine how much time were spended to create norrative, dialogs, renders and animated scenes for each release.
Story - Excellent.
Uncommon scenario with a few love interests. I was pleased developing different branches. Even now(Ep.2) developer provided alot of content.
Renders - Excellent.
Amazing work with enviroment and shadows, models are looking outstanding. Animated scenes is a great addition, and they are awesome as well.
Optimization - Nice.
The only issue I had was about text messages at ep.2 after loading savefile from previous episode, but they didn't affect on gameplay. I must admit that for game in active development issues with saves are fine, because devs are adding some features, new variables, interface etc. Fresh start helped to avoid errors.
Game is size-optimized and won't ate a lot of your drive storage. I bet dev uses lossless compression, because quality of images keeps to be impressive.

at some moments i actually forgot i was playing a porn game. being a mechanical graduate and car enthusiast myself playing the race segments were pure enjoyment. hope there are more segments like this.
PS: the art is so polished and the bgm choices definitely can see this game going far

Nice story with appealing and attractive characters, great renders and animations. Looking forward to what's coming. I just wish there was a sort of thumbnail in the gallery to hint which scene is unlocked.

Amazing game. The manual drive mode is amazing. No bullshit sandbox play. No random sex scenes. Everything is connected coherently and is smooth as hell. Very few games are able to achieve this feat. Really hope that this game will top the charts.

This is how you open a visual novel. The first update is full with content, and none of it's filler. Every line of dialogue works towards establishing the story and characters. The renders are amazing, but persnolly, I am always looking for good stories and writting, characters that have depth and feel like people. This one is gonna establish itself as one of the top dogs in the genre given time and more updates. Congratulations on the first release and excellent work.

Just played the first episode. Looks incredibly promising. Very good renders and animations but, more than anything, the story looks really intriguing, with nice plot and charachters. Look forward for next updates.

Very promising and original plot. Renders are good too. Hoping for more cars and action scenes as the story unfolds but the first chapter alone has left me very pleased. I'm rooting for the dev because the story seems to have me hooked along with likeable characters. Best wishes ❤

Very promising game with heaps of potential. Chapter 1 was longer than I thought it would be so that was a bonus. I think Chapter 1 was a perfect intro. It establishes the tone of the story, there's a clear cut objective and main story arc, and there is a good amount of set up for future chapters.

While I have nothing against visual novels with a college student main character it was refreshing to see a grown up and capable MC who's already in a relationship.(You can choose how the relationship will go).

Speaking of visuals, I'm not a car guy at all but I thought the racing scenes were rendered very well and pretty hype. The girls are pretty as well.
The dynamic between you & your ex is nuanced. 'Love at first sight' characters exist just like in any other visual novel but the more complicated relationships more than make up for it.
I'm not the biggest fan of the often overly snarky dialogue especially between the main character and his friend, but it is what it is. Also minor, minor nitpick but the kid looks kind of uncanny.

Interested to see how all the girls tie into the story as well and I'm excited for chapter 2!!! Deserves front page honestly.

This game has great renders, a good story, mini-games which a lot VN games don't have and most importantly humor(I realised those games do well critically).

There is not a lot of racing VN games so good job on the devs to see that and gain the advantage. When people first see this game they think of fast and furious.

This is a metric tonne of content for a single episode.

The game is very good. The humour is mostly verbal and revolves around sarcasm and wit. This means it hits well for me, if you're into goofy humour it might not have the same effect.

The language use is great. I rarely felt that the developer(s) just shit out a bunch of words. Word choice feels curated and doesn't waste my time with bullshit or grammar so bad it can't be followed.

Dialogue is mostly very good, succinct and meaningful. The exception to this is that there is a scene with a lot of "information" being bombarded at you, and I have to admit, it bored the shit out of me. I would have appreciated a little bit more restraint. Most readers are not going to find the science interesting enough, it would be better to be more economical, to give a good flavour, rather than trying to convince a scientific reader that you know what you're talking about.

It's the first episode, so this isn't a huge deal, but the girls do not feel like they have a whole lot of dimension right now. They all look great (even if the psycho student isn't to my taste) but Maggie is really the only one that has me curious to know more.

The plot is very good. There are a few turning points within the episode that are very emotional, surprising, and spin the story in a new, interesting dimension. This is going to sound a bit pretentious, but it all makes me feel like the developers understand humanity and what we respond to, and that is one of the best qualities you can have when producing fiction of any kind.

Overall, this is a top tier game, and everyone should try it.

This is a really solid game. I couldn't believe how long episode 1 went for. The guy is a bit of a shmuck, but the love interests seem nice and varied. Some of the conversations were a bit unrealistic, but no worse than most AVNs.

It had some great scenes too, although the dude really needs to learn to go down on chicks. Can't just be jumping from BJ to sex and expect chicks to stick around.

Hopefully they can get a decent release rate going for updates, because overall it was really entertaining.

Review is for episode 1
This game is off to an amazing start. It could be the next big thing if they keep up the good work. The story is absorbing. The characters are compelling. The sexy scenes are incredibly hot. The renders and animations are top notch. There's not a lot yet but there is enough to give it a shot. I can't wait for future updates!

Great game, certainely not like many others out ther. If you like cars and AVNs I can't recommend this enough. Can't wait for future updates. This has very high potential to be a top AVN in my opinion

A very good first release with a lot of potential. I like the story of eventually becoming a racer, which i'm surprised hasn't really been done before, that i can recall. But you're also a scientist/teacher, which is interesting. There's actually a good amount of content for this first release. The models are hot, and your girlfriend is VERY hot. The MC is good, though flawed and with a flawed past of cheating. I hope we can continue to follow the path of becoming a better person, and i wish we have more options to be more loving to the girlfriend character. The sexual situations are very hot, and there's a lot of potential for this story in the future.
