VN - Ren'Py - Ravenous [Arc 2 Ep. 7] [Lament Entertainment]

The story is good, but i am not really a fan of kenitic story lines since you have 0 options to who you want to be with, i was hoping it would be better in this one since you have the option to say no to MILF and GILF when starting the game but that really means nothing, you just dont see the scenes but the game still plays out as you have fucked them all, like whenn MC lost hes virginity it skips the sex scene but you still end up in bed next to her saying that wasent bad for your first time, i was hoping the story and text would atleast change to show you dident have sex with them when selecting no to MILFs, since i am really not into that stuff.

Ill still give this 2stars since it does have a nice story, and some damn nice looking girls, good animations but there is just way to much teasing, plenty of lolis but so far 0 sex scenes besides maybe a BJ.

Maybe once this game is complete it will be worth playing but if your not into MILF and GILF there is really no point in playing this game yet.

When/if it gets completet ill give it another go and adjust my rating, but for now and for me this was a waste of time.

Absolutely beautiful renders, great presentation with great characters. The story itself is interesting enough to have want to know more, though the writing and relationship buildups could be a bit better, but they are decent even as they are, but ill be honest i skimmed most of the conversations.
Overall its pretty good, especially presentation wise, and do look forward to see more.

What an interesting, and ultimately, so far DISAPPOINTING game. Beautiful renders, decent character development -- but after a year, I come away with LOLI TEASE! A lot of dark horror metaphor, and glimpses of erotica, but apart from a couple of vanilla-type sex acts, it's a middling 'horror-fest' masquerading as an edgy, loli-filled adult VN. Too bad; seemed so promising, but fear and politics seems to have derailed this piece. Not worth the DL.

Horror isn't usually my thing, but the girls in this are some of the best I've ever seen. A+ for models and outfits, and all the personalities feel unique. The girl/girl content is super hot too. Looking forward to more for sure.

If you're looking for a solid Kinetic Novel with great atmosphere, lore, and fantastically written dialogue and characters, this is a must. The sex scenes are probably the weakest part, but the ample cheesecake shots through out more than make up for this. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

Ravenous keeps you thinking that maybe the magic, the mystery, or the spells will explain its foolishness away. Maybe the magic is making every character fall for the MC.. Maybe the mystery will explain why they all talk so similarly. Then you reach the end and there is no explanation. They just all love him because it's a lewd game. They decide to be a harem for him because it's a lewd game. What little hope you had? Gone.
The OP in this thread is a good example of the writing: too many commas and run on sentences. There are awkward line breaks where there need not be. What you won't see until you try the game is how each girl's dialogue feels the same. You can see the art, some of these girls are young, some are old. This doesn't stop them each from sounding like an old man. That is, unless you know some very young teen girls who oft use "therefore" in conversations with their friends.. It's not the worst it could be, but it's not fitting nor is it unique. You think maybe the mystery will explain their awkward manner of speaking.. as you could guess, no such luck.
There is a surprising lack of emotion present. Not in a superficial way, as characters supposedly have emotions and do at times express them. It's as if a robot was trying to imitate how humans interact. Too logical, too cold, too precise in the rationalization of their selves. Why are they all so mature and introspective? Unfortunately it seems that rather than writing convincing characters the author's personality comes through in them all. Countless times a "conversation" plays out as
'I feel bad about thing',
'you shouldn't feel bad because *reason*'
'okay you're right i don't feel bad about it any more.'
Are these conversations? In form, surely. There is a distinct lack of heart present in Ravenous. It's as hollow as can be. Too bad, what seems like a slow burn is actually not burning whatsoever. As such it ends up slow, without emotion, and only sexual in appearance.
At least they fixed his hair.

There is way too much text to read, and the story is supper weird and dark. Also, the animations are very basic and boring. you also get to see things where you are not even there. the thoughts you have are also way too long. there is also the occasional narator who talks which is also very irritating.

The timeline is out of wack, and there's way too much expositionary scenes. Too many times people sit in front of the protagonist and explain everything to him. There's also the cliché of the slutty wine aunt, who's very easy and will want to fuck as soon as you meet her.

But even so, the girls are hot, and it advances nicely. Not too fast but not too slow. And it's foreshadowing threesomes, foursomes and maybe even fivesomes, including mother-daughter action.

Well-done game... beautiful girls and sexy content. If you are into the tags, you'll dig it.

I wouldn't quite call it a slow burn, but it's not in a hurry. For example, there was a truly amazing tease very early on ("turns out many of the teen girls in this town go down on their moms!") but it has remained just a tease several updates later. I have hope though.

Pros: Good looking renders, plot that moves right along, an MC who is a bit annoying but not your typical AVN retard, very little branching so you don't have to maintain 8 saves to see the new content each release.

Cons: Writing is adequate but uninspired, relatively modest amount of sex as yet.

Regular updates with fair amount of content each time. No engrish, only sparse minor dialogue quirks. Great models and fluid animations. The story is actually interesting and the dialogue has a good pace, so I never feel like I need to skip it. Because of these I have confidence in the game.

If you like the tags I would highly recommend this game.

It really has become a step above most others in a relatively short amount of time.

Straight up Sweet Home Alabama and not even shy or ashamed of it. "I wanna sleep with my son", "i wanna marry my brother", straight to the point. Not the other way round like in other novels where MC is trying to bed his family. And family is trying to bring friends and their daughters in to join the fun too. Its refreshing really.

There's some occult, supernatural elements in the story which is likely the main plot and taking the helm as of late. I'm pretty intrigued and looking forward to the story unraveling itself. Theres a couple of players here who are butt hurt that this VN has swung over to story focused instead of loli sex fest.
Personally the main plot only made the VN much more engaging. If i wanted a porn game i'd play something else.
This is already indicated in the front page with the VN being described as a kinetic novel with a slow burn story but they only look at pictures and never read synopsis and tags, figures.

Its still way early in development so theres not much to talk about with regards to the characters except i'm liking the models for the Love Interests. Personality wise, what we have now is pretty shallow, again its still like alpha development stage but i do like their straightforward attitude and open mindedness. They have a variety of archetypes, like the loving, caring mother type or the tsundere kind. The cast is somewhat huge, i hope they all get the proper amounts of screentime. MC is a sweetheart, i'm liking him so far.

This VN is on my bookmark, hopefully it don't disappoint.

To be honest I like the idea of how the game is structured. The graphics and animeation are really very good in my opinion. The story is also interesting - in my opinion a bit strange with the horror aspect but still interesting 5 stars!

the game is decent. the character is beautiful and all, but this is not actually a game, more like a visual novel.
if it were not for the fact the only decision you could take was to name you character, I would give it a much higher score, but you only can name your MC then all the rest is "click next" until the end of the game.

This game might not be for everyone as it has some dark elements and kinetic storyline but I love those aspects so this game is a must play. Only complaint is the amount of blue balling it gave me with the teasings.

Review of 0.4.

This is a kinetic VN. No choices. I can't really deduct points for this as it's a legitimate genre choice, but be aware.

The setting and premise of the story is interesting. "Small town horror" isn't exactly a new genre, but I like to see a porn game take advantage of it.

Characters are interesting, and their dynamics have a lot of potential. However, they could use a tiny bit of fleshing out. Almost everything we learn about them is in relation to MC. Unless you're going for a really campy vibe, "What are the girls interested outside of MC's cock?" is a vital question every VN author should ask! That said, the models are beautiful--except MC, who is a bit too feminine. (I don't enjoy seeing male MCs rendered anyway, so I'm biased.)

The presentation is decent to great, although the bar for that is quite low (literally any game that changes the default font, textbox, colors, etc. looks visually interesting).

The writing could use some polish. More typos and missing punctuation than I find acceptable; it definitely gives the whole game an amateurish and rushed vibe.

I can deal with story focused games, but I really hate my time being wasted. And that's what this game does, it wastes time either pussy footing about or dragging scenes. Not the mention endless teasing, you're thinking you're about to get to at least one sex scene but nope it just moves on to the next scene. Terrible.

Surprisingly, i have really enjoyed this game/story!
PROS: The renders are good and mood while dark and gloomy at times add to the story. I like that the main character has doubts and suppresses his desire at times making it more realistic. Not really into fantasy and magic and stuff but the story is very captivating and draws you in.

CONS: No sound or music. No real choices given so no alternate paths.

overall excellent so far and recommend to all to give it a try and support dev as you are able.

Good luck and anxiously awaiting updates and continuation of the story! v/r Diego

The story element is a bit darker which is something that i like. Character models are al fine by me. However the game lacks chhoices. You don't have a say with which girl you want to hook up, whether is it your aunt, sis, cousin, simply no choices and no consequences. The game and story leads you straight forward without possibility to avid unwanted relazionships. It does have potential and it seams interesting but without choices... Might give it a shot after several updates later to see if anything changed.

A very strange game with an unexpected (in a bad way) twist in the last update (0.084).
The game has a very good visual and models, but the main story significant involvement of the mother of MC, who ate people, looks ridiculous and reduces the mood and excitement. I think it would be nice to rewrite this moment, and in general make the game less gloomy, more positive and light. I really hope for positive changes in the next versions, especially considering that the author is very good as an artist and the game includes extremely niche tags (l).

I think the graphics on this game are top-notch. I do not know whether that is animation or some kind of video, but there are great moving parts (cars, movement, etc.) that are fun to watch.

The story has enough heft to hold my interest. There is a nice mystery here, with some twists. So kudos to Lament. This is one game that holds my interest. I think about some of the MC decisions and game play even when I am away from it.
