VN - Ren'Py - Ravenous [Arc 2 Ep.5] [Lament Entertainment]

A lot of people give the story a low score but while i agree the dialogue isn't the most amazing, the story itself did something a lot of porn games haven't - It actually entertained me and didn't feel like a huge slog.

Other than that the models are pretty good but it is a lot of loli content so if you aren't into that this isn't for you.

Just tried 'Arc I', off to a bad start.

MC is far more feminine than any of the LI's and in the first half he has long hair to double down on his feminine behaviour. Once again we have an mc who is absolutely afraid of women, he has panic attacks when they touch him and then tries to cover it up as being a voice of reason.

He also has lots of cuckish behaviour like false bravado in cringe lines like "yeah i have change but im not giving it to you", as if it looks macho to be rude when there's no reason to engage.

The LI's look a little younger than I like, but that seems to be the price of avoiding btba garbage in vn's.

Writing is so-so this far, he doesn't act like a convincing male but it's not overly full of mistakes and there does seem to be a plan in the progressing of the plot - although the plot is monsters and cults which also sucks

The LI's suck because they all absolutely throw themselves at MC (young and old), despite mc having literally nothing to offer. You also dont get the option to say no since you (the mc) are pathetic.

At the beginning it asks what you want to see. I said no to the milfs because I didn't want to be forced to go with the misshapen indian/police woman but you cant avoid it SEVERAL TIMES

I think this game is great. The graphics and renderings are excellent. The plot, while simple, is still interesting. All the models are very attractive. Milfs in general are top. I would recommend everyone to try this game. 5 stars.

My two cents in two blocks:

Pros:
* Fast pace of updates! As most of my favourite VNs are either dead or in coma, it just feels so good when updates with real content just keep coming.
* Most models have really perky bodies and great unique looks, even the motherly types are mostly attractive which is very rare observation for me
* Renders look good
* Story is not an award material, but interesting enough
* Writing is sliiiiightly above average for me, at least it sticks to the story without those cringe explanations of photography, sports or game rules, etc.
* There's a lot of dialogue and situations among girls without MC's involvement, I really enjoy those
* Naughty scenes do not feel forced (and hopefully it will stay this way)
* Lot of interesting characters

Cons:
* All but single female suffer by severe case of instant attraction to MC. :-/
* DAZ eroge animations look just like DAZ eroge animations. Not that I would expect more
* Not the most original story around

So good luck to the dev, hopefully it won't slide to the mindless harem experience later on. Not that I would mind some group scenes though.

The story is not great. Well, the actual story is "decent", but I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything. It's coherent enough and has clear direction; however the dialogue and actual writing is mediocre at best, awful at worst. Player agency is completely absent. It is unmistakably a kinetic novel, and a slow one at that.

Renders are okay, sex scenes are quite lacking but on par from what I'd expect from a Daz VN.

Most of the characters have at least some background and development given to them, although there are a few that are a lot more fleshed out than the others. That being said, they are all written to be extremely infatuated with the MC for no discernible reason, which makes them feel a lot more fabricated than I would like.

Realistically, 2.5 stars out of 5, but I have to round down.

Story is interesting and kind of dark but I like that. The girls are cute and gorgeous. Erica is the most beautiful girl <3 Love the glasses. Animations are great. Can't wait to see how this game will finish.

Love this game. Its got everything i love regarding the character but also realy enjoy the story. And graphics a stunning. I really don't understand why the rating are so low. I guess its a matter of taste!!!

Ravenous [Arc 1] [Lament Entertainment]

I read only first arc and dropped it at some point, it was all over the place. Plus, I didn't really liked anyone here and got REALLY bored at some point. Story itself is not great, to put lightly. Models are f great, tho. Don't expect much, it's "story focused/romance focused" story. Ha! Sure.
I'll probably try to brute force it and see what it has in the store at future arcs, but for now it's not worth it.
Story - 3/10
Choices - none, KN
Characters - 3/10
MC - 2/10
Models - 7/10
Romance - 1/10

Seeing screenshot of the game you must think "wow hot af"! "Can't wait to fuck them"! But the dev is really into teasing his/her audience so you'll have to wait. A lot. I'd be ok with that if the story was better. Or at least characters made some sense.
I really wanted to like the game because it has one of the hottest models. But it's ruined by horrendous story and dumb characters.

Well, this is a strange one to review. I'd give it 3.5 Stars if it were possible.

I feel that the 1* reviews are not justified and largely due to some weird and frustrating story decisions.

So, the basics: the art is great, the animations wooden and soulless and consequentially the sex scenes fairly robotic. It's a VN, no choices.

Thankfully the Loli stuff can be turned off, because it's... ewww.

Now, the story itself is fine...ish. There's mystery and horror and sex and stuff. It has a good basis. The problem is that the Horror that is being teased is likely to be Horror Light. Plot Armor is fairly obvious for the MC and all the girls, so it really doesn't add tension, more of a slightly edgy back drop.

Then you have the MC and every girl (and I mean EVERY single one) instantly falls for him. He might as well be the only guy in a town filled with sex-starved nymphomaniacs. So far, so... tropey. I can't say how tired I am of this, but I am sure most of you don't care.

There is also way too many women. What's the point in introducing yet more all the time? It leads to absurd scenes where on the eve of Armageddon, the MC sexts with some woman in the bath tub. Priorities, man!

Now, the source of frustration comes from everyone apparently wanting to fuck the MC and the Dev somehow trying to pace this, so it doesn't devolve into one big orgy. Unfortunately, that is not done very well. The MC acts completely out of character, desperately trying to slow things down with every girl he meets and if he doesn't, the girls have a sudden change of heart in the final moment or someone walks in or whatever... It all feels odd and unnatural for the sake of the holy grail of Porn Sex Progression.

So, it's a fine game, the story is better than most of the drivel you find here, but it's also sabotaging itself severely, which is sad.

Also: The Loli stuff is really kinda ick.

The Dev all the time tells us that this is not a porn game but a story with porn in it. Well, I respect such a point of view. But what we have in reality?

There is indeed not a lot of porn in this game, but the amount of teasing is just insane. All the girls and women are hot. They all walk around in sexy skimpy clothes or whithout them. They all tell the MC how much they want to fuck him. And the MC? I have an impression that he hates sex. Evey time a girl throws herself at him he is like: "Not today, my dear. May be tomorrow or the next month". He behaves like an old man married for many years, not like a horny teenager that he is supposed to be.

Now about the story. It is very weird. It is supposed to be a horror story but the Evil in this game is so weak and pathetic that it feels simply ridiculous. The main antagonist (Eve) is a monstrous murderous 300-years old witch. Even her minions are scared of her. And she falls in love with the MC like a typical schoolgirl and lets easily trick herself. The MC kisses her on the mouth all the time which almost makes me throw up. And he pretends to truly care about her, though she directly caused death and misery of many of the townsfolk.

The other evil characters are even more dumb and pathetic. The policewoman Teresa tricks them all the time and they cannot guess that she is the mole among them, though she is doing it almost openly and she is the only one who didn't go through the blood drinking ritual. Also she is all the time with Isabella who is the main enemy of the cultists, but they still cannot add two and two.

The graphics in this game are good and the girls are very hot, especially the lolis. That's the only reason I give two stars instead of one. Also there are games with even worst stories, but all in all Arc 1 just goes nowhere.
I hope in Arc 2 the Dev will take better care of the story and fixes the pacing of this game striking a better balance between blueballing and the needs of the plot.

Not even really a game, it's just a poorly written book.

I realize that many people enjoy VN, even without choices, but this really doesn't have much to offer.

The only "Choice" seems to be setting the ages of the younger looking characters

Where do I begin, visually the game is quite good, technically it is easy above average, and that's where the positive goes, visually eye candy, but everything else including the story is nonsense, It's a game that's full of lolis, milfs, and the MC just doesn't want to fuck.

It's a game with a weak, boring narrative that doesn't even let you enjoy the sexual section in a PORN game, In the MC's house there are always 3 or 4 semi nakeds lolis, you know "18" women with the bodies of 14 or 15 year old teenagers, wanting to suck your cock and fuck all day, but the MC is special and is in a kind of eternal celibacy, in a porn game.

I give it a 1, because of the stupid story, because it is a kinetic novel, and because it does not even meet the minimum objective of being a decent porn game, are it has so many fake "18" years old "women" naked in the house, with a bunch of horny milfs too, and you as a player cannot do or decide anything, because it is a kinetic VN and very poorly written.

Mc is a dumbass that avoids sex like the plague. Usually slowburns have excuses, reasons why the MC cant fuck the girls, here theres no reason, they all want to fuck him he is just stupid and dev wants to save it for later I guess. Story is garbage, because yes sometimes slowburns can be salvaged by good stories and seeing how relationship grow and allow for the sex. Here nah, just silky shit dont expect much, kinetic so no choices, makes for a waste of time really.

If you are in this page and say u gonna do a porn game, better do nice porn scenes, this games is a blue ball machine, dont use this page, dont try to trick us.
The game doesnt have the quality of a real story game, not even close, so in my opinion if you have less, way less sex scenes than the other games of the genre, better do the best scenes, thats not the case, this is a huge 1 star, we have to use the same rate level than we use in steam or whatever.

Jeez,I had to bring misery out of myself and delete the game. Missed Potential here. I am not even allowed to decide if i want to be evil or good.

Imagine 2 Factions fighting for you and you cant even choose which side you want to join?

Kinetic Novels....The worst there is in gaming. No decisions,MC is at the mercy of Dev and its awful. Its like Playing Sexnote with an MC who is a huge blundering idiot of a whimp.

MC has the potential to be the Grand Partriach and be powerful than everyone,Yet he is out here playing Fucking HERO shit!!!!!!

I realy realy whish MC was able to be evil or not in many situation and he is not,But a good guy.

Like damn,I am very dissapointed with this game.

10 minutes of holding Ctrl and not once do you fuck the mother or the sister, the rest of the scenes are so far apart one could get an epileptic attack from the flashing screens. What a fucking joke, please cut out 90% of the story and at least 50% characters.

If this was a porn game instead of some boring occult bullshit storyslop with a few scenes sprinkled inbetween, like 3 of them with actual penetration, this could be really good.
For a game nearly 2 years in development there is nothing here worth anybody's time, since I assume people come to this site primarily for porn.

2* because I've seen worse games developed for longer. The golden game is there, just beneath all the unnecessary packaging. If the MC wouldn't be a wimp and threesomed his mom/sister when he walked in on them and there wasn't 10 minutes worth of filler to hold the skip button to, this could be 5*.

I must say this game really impressed me.
Not only the renders have very good quality with natural poses and expressions, but also the story and the way it's told; without walls of text, only a single line very easy and fast to read.
Of course it has some flaws, but they are "peccata minuta" for me.

What an interesting game this is... The many love interests, the story, the horror aspects being not too much but not too little, this weird amount of realistic female characters, sexy young girls and black magic mixed in the same game; there´s a lot for you to enjoy. You can even ignore most of the adult contents and just play for the story, because it´s so profound and sinister, you may forget to unzip your pants.

I´m still giving it a 4 star rating because, as good as the story and the advertures are, it´s supposed to be an adult game nonetheless. The game has too much teasing and buildup to great adult scenes that end up getting nowhere for some reason. Most of the times, you are unsure if a character getting naked in a certain moment, means something sexy is really going to happen, or if you may get just a couple pretty pictures of the female characters in enticing poses and move on to the next scene. I wouldn´t like it to be mindless sex of course, but ignoring the scenes when the girls undressed around them just to sleep together (because it´s just girls being girls, no worries), the game had more oportunities to satisfy the characters and the viewer.

Also, making sure the most intense scenes are not that short or get cut out suddenly, would make for a better feel of it. Sometimes, something very important is happening in the moment making for an interesting scene, sometimes it´s very dark and serious, but before it´s over, it gets cut into a happy and relaxed place for a minute, just to turn dark and serious again.

But as I said earlier, the game is great for several reasons. The Grandmother turning very humane and caring the first time she really met the MC in person, was a great twist. I really need more of her.

I'm giving this one 3 stars because I'm very much on the fence with my opinion for it.

Starting with the character models. They're pleasant on the eyes, whether it be cute or sexy, but nothing that stands out. My real issue here is that it's actually quite offsetting when nearly every female character in the game pretty much appears in their mid-30s or is a loli. There's like zero in-between. The MC himself does seem to fall somewhere in the middle but even he looks and sometimes acts younger than he's portrayed as being in the story. Worse annoyance for me is it asks to set the girl's ages as soon as you meet them before you have ANY clue what their personality is like. So given they nearly all have nearly the same height and body type, you're either gonna leave their ages at default (typically 18) or base it on their looks. But then some go and act way older and some way younger. It just screws with the brain and makes it hard to actually immerse yourself in the story.

In regards to story, it's another one of the usual tropes where almost every female the MC meets immediately falls in love with him and throws themselves at him. I mean, I guess at least it's not because of the horse sized dick syndrome of far too many VNs... but it's still dull not to have any significant buildup. That being said, it's not a terrible read. I just didn't find it all that engaging either and I never really found myself caring about any of the characters.

Technicals. Pretty decent. Animations or okay. Sound is a step above most VNs. Menu is pretty typical. It's a purely kinetic VN so zero choices to be made.

Summary: Not bad and not a waste of time...just nothing to rave about either.
