    *A review of EP2 P1 version

    Pros:

    - Story. Honestly, I didn't expect much, I mean, MC lives with his mom and his sisters...not smth original. The more surprised I was - the plot is captivating, unique, it makes you wanting to see more and more.

    - Characters. Well written characters each with their own personality, everybody is intriguing in their own way. I also liked how they were introduced at the start.

    - Audio. Music/Audio really helps to create the atmosphere during some scenes. For each scene Dev mannaged to select a suitable audio.

    - Humor. A lot of hilarious moments through out the game, though sometimes it goes overboard if you ask me, but most part of the game it's fantastic

    - Writing. Dialogues are very good, while reading them you actually believe that characters are alive.

    Cons (few thing that actually bothered me in a game):

    1) I played quite a few HS games and I know that I shouldn't expect super realistic graphics from it, but there were at least few renders that caught my attention - on this renders MC's hands were too small, like child's ones, that was off putting to say the least. I never actually paid attention to such details in HS games and the fact that I noticed it here says a lot.

    2) Humor is great, but when it goes overboard it stopes being funny and starts getting annoying, like MC's hatred towards kids, I mean - I got that he doesn't like them after first scene, but to some moment game just kept focusing on that, or the scene with thugs and their names, of course it's subjective, but personally I would like there to be some kind of balance.

    3) I found lewds extremely long and boring, I dunno, maybe it's because I am more into the story than erotic part of the game, but - too many unnecessarily dialogues during the scenes, internal thoughts of MC, add to this also endless comments from Narrator and here we are, I skipped through last Cadence lewd scene, at least last part of it

    4) At some moment the whole Stella's storyline became boring, Uni tour and cinema scene and scenes in between, this trope of naive/shy girl is so overused, after reading how embarrassed she is with MC - even I started feeling embarrassed while reading it at some moment hence I skipped through some dialogues with her which is very very rare for me, later it became better though, good that I didn't close her path.

    Anyways despite a few things here and there in general I enjoyed the game very much, I definitely didn't expect the game to be so... captivating.
    I would give it 4.5/5 = 5 stars.
    Looking forward to new updates.

    This is a gem, great game. Probably too much animation but everything is done at a very high quality. Story is interesting and unique, this is a plot based game. Characters are well written, MC doesnt have a horse cock, and there is a good amount of player choice. One of the better games out there

    This game is absolutely incredible, and it has a shocking amount of content for only 2 episodes.

    The Writing: I'll be clear and say I rarely play these games for the plot. I'm normally much more interested in "the plot". But the writing in this game is genuinely compelling. Most notably for me, the humor is spot on in this game, which is such a rarity for me. I normally find that humor in adult games miss far more often than they hit. They are often cringy or dated, and so on. But I laughed out loud probably like a dozen times while playing Realm Invader. On top of that, the characters are lovable and fun, the story and world are interesting, etc. It's just great overall

    The Visuals: Wow, the animation in this game is incredible. Seriously, even visual gags in this game are animated with more care than most other games' sex scenes. The sex is hot, the action is engaging, the lighting is great, and the models are all varied and beautiful.

    My only complaint about this game is that I want more. Praying that this dev keeps up with this game and completes it, because it's a shining star among the piles of cliched crap that we see posted to this site every day.

    Randomly stumbled upon this gem while scrolling through the top rated games. I can see why it's rated so high. Rarely have I been so hooked, especially after playing dozens and dozens of games. This one is really something special, and I can't wait for more. Big ups to the dev. Please know that you're creating something great.

    In terms of animation, this game definitely comes out on top.

    The storyline is still in its setup phase, but the overall quality is top-notch. The female characters, in particular, are very charming, and the game has a wicked sense of humor that's really entertaining.

    Considering the creator's current situation, supporting this game is definitely worth it. After all, spending a little to get a few hours of joy is totally worth it, right?

    I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played, but it's definitely among the top in many aspects.

    Stunning visuals, music is used well to support the scenes, the humor is great, the animations are great, the writing sucks you in and the dialogue flows really well.
    The girls are all gorgeous and memorable and there wasn't a character yet I did not want to know more about.
    The sex scenes were hot - well written and beautifully animated.
    I also loved the slightly cartoonish humor scenes - it's rare that a game makes me laugh out loud. :LOL:

    The story seems to be in its early stages, but what we have is quite intriguing. There's also a lot more content than it being ep 2 would suggest - the story content will keep you busy for several hours, even if you're a qick reader like me.
    I'll definitely keep an eye on this one. Quality like this is worth waiting patiently for.

    5/5

    This is the 2nd time an AVN has compelled me to write a review. Greatness should be recognized and Realm Invader is greatness!

    Invader Gary has raised the bar. Realm Invader is on another level. I've never laughed so much from an AVN and when I'm not laughing I'm smiling. The characters are interesting and the story is captivating. The writing is intelligent, witty, and clearly a work of passion.

    More of this!

    Might be the best VN I have played yet. Funny, original, clever, hot.

    I have to be honest, I skip a lot of dialogue in porn games. Like a lot. Hell, I even skip forward in most movies and tv shows. But writing here is insanely good, dialogue is to the point. Almost zero filler, unlike most VNs. None of that deep lore dive, no unending lines on describing their trouble in school/work etc. This is a game about the MC, the girls and the sexual/romantic dynamic between them. That´s what porn games are about (to me anyways) - about sex, about those doing the sex, and everything that leads to/stems from the sex. Be it romance, horniness ... being a slave... Interactive erotic romance novel (usually) aimed more towards the guys. Something lot of other developers don´t seems to get.

    But don´t take me wrong. There is lore, there is world building. But to add depth to the characters, not to be the star of the show. Every character has plenty of personality, including the main protagonist. Dialogue (and internal monologue) is funny and engaging, while keeping our primal side of mind occupied with tasteful H type of humour/tension/meta.

    Music is amazing, lots of tracks, each chosen with lyrics in mind specifically for each scene.

    Despite me mentioning "sex" like five times earlier, there aren´t actually that many H scenes, but those that are there are amazing. The scene in the swimming pool/competition might be the hottest piece of animation I have ever seen. The attention to detail when it comes to the girl is incredible, it´s very well textured. Animation is done with high level of polish and thought as well (looks really realistic, with the way the character is changing between several motions without a cut).

    The only downside is it´s far from finished (room for plenty more chapters). Also no voice (or sound effects) in H scenes but that´s both kinda rare and personal perference. Otherwise, nothing but praise. It was so good I had to write my first review. Kudos do the dev and good luck with the development, I truly think this is a special game.

    (Disclaimer: Review is for version Ep2P1 and is subject to change upon the game's completion)

    ...

    ...Okay, before anything, can someone tell me what drugs were the dev taking when he made this thing, and can I have some?

    ...

    Anyway, I'm...honestly impressed with this game. The story's pretty unique, the humor is simply insane and is absolutely right up my alley, the renders are decent, the worldbuilding is just flat-out bonkers, the music is awesome, and the characters feel like they're so alive with all of the animated expressions and movements that they showcase outside the lewds.

    Only issues I have I suppose is that the Dev character feels overdone (like, I don't mind that he exists, but he feels like he's a character who overstays his welcome and would've been better had his presence be used sparingly), the opening is a bit on the weak side and had to be powered through to get to the good stuff, the main character looks a little TOO generic and it would've been better if the dev gave him a little bit of love, some of the camera angles look a bit "off" like some closeups look out of center and such, and the UI feels sluggish at times.

    Other than that, I absolutely adore this thing and I would play it even without the lewds. Will definitely watch this thing with great interest. 4.5/5 stars.

    I´m speechless... Wordless... Flabbergasted... Sad, happy, glad, thankful...

    As my rating says - IT´S EXCELLENT in every possible way.

    I want to thank you SO MUCH Invader Gary for making this AVN... You can´t imagine how happy and glad, amused and joyful it made me, that I could play it and so immensely enjoy it.

    This is for me one of the BEST AVN I have ever played. If not TOP 3 (And I played almost one hundred of them)...

    rveguerjguerp I DONT KNOW WHAT TO WRITE TO CONVEY MY FEELINGS FOR THIS MASTERPIECEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

    Sorry :)... It´s just... So impeccably crafted.

    1. The LIS are beautiful, loveable, cute and believable as well enjoyable and fun to be around... And did I already say just CUTE and ADORABLE ? :D
    (Chloe is the most adorable and BEST girl I have ever seen in AVNs and Stella... Cadence :DDDD Grace, Noelle, ´Neeta.

    2. The HUMOR oh my god THE HUMOR... I have laughed DOZENS OF TIMES... Dozens... Like atleast 50 times... My whole Tuesday and morning of Wednesday was interwoven with laughing, chuckling, giggling and literally LMAOs :D:D:D:D:D.
    The humor in this AVN is so perfect, so funny, so astute and complex and just so damn enjoyable and perfect, perfect, perfect... Nothing else. The Funniest AVN... (Now imagine if this was the only positive trait of this AVN, it would be gold just for this... But it is not - we have LIS, Humor, Music, Story, Atmosphere and grammar - almost flawless and well made and fit syntax and such, AKA Easy to read. ((if you want)). And THE MEMES :DXDxdXDxD (((Friendship ended with Chloe, now my best friend is... xdXDXxD)))

    3. Music... Again, on point, everything about it... From those little sound effect to add to the scene or meme sounds, or just goofy samples etc.
    All of them added to the overally amazing AVN scenes, and convey what it set to do. The music was goofy, funny, sad and beautiful just in place it needed to be and enhanced this AVN to another level... (DOOM and Spider, Meme sounds, Breakdacing in cinema, Ice-cream parlor, End Credits for Episode 2 part 1 and soooo muuuch more).

    4. The story... It´s interesting, gripping, I couldn´t pull myself from taking a break (I did though), just that interesting and well crafted it is of a game. The flow was perfect, never did I ever felt bored or that the dialogue was tedious, or pointlessly prolonged or stretched... NEVER... I admire your writing skills among all the others required from you for this AVN, as I have read your post about you beginning part 2 and taking a break before starting and how hard it must be for you...

    BUT JUST KNOW: YOU ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB AND PIECE OF ART, AS THIS CAN BE, I BELIEVE, ON OF THE BEST AVNs EVER... And I am not even stretching this praise... Far from it, as my feelings of everything, as I have stated before, I have got from this AVN were, and are, genuine and for that I am thankful Invader Gary. ;):D

    5. The Atmosphere overally... And by that I mean all the aspects, I have already mentioned combined together: Perfection , nothing less, rather much more.
    Yeah... I could write bilion adverbs and adjective and such... So just: Perfection... And masterpiece and work of art and and and ... xDXDxdxD

    You have my deepest and most sincere gratitude Invader Gary for making this. Can´t say more than that... I am glad I have experienced it. Thank you.

    And who reads this and read it till the end, just go with your guts and give this a try if you yet didn´t . You WON´T REGRET IT. IT´S AMAZING and well worth your time...

    Thank you. :love:

    Review Ep. 2 P1
    Alright, let's dive into "Realm Invader." This game has really impressed me on multiple fronts, and here's why:

    Immersive Audio Experience
    First off, the music and sound effects are top-notch. The background sounds really pull you into the game and make every scene come to life. It's one of those things you don't always notice until it's done right, and here, it's spot on.

    Hilarious Moments
    Now, let's talk about the humor. This developer has a great sense of humor, and it shows. Remember Carlos and his cow from the intro? I was in stitches. The jokes aren't just thrown in for the sake of it; they add that extra layer of enjoyment and show the dev's dedication to making the game fun. I actually laughed out loud on numerous occassions

    Top-Tier Animations
    The animations are another highlight. It's not just the sex scenes that are animated; there are random scenes throughout that add to the immersion and quality of the game. The animations are smooth and some of the best I've seen in a game like this. It's clear a lot of effort went into making them look great.

    Likeable Main Character
    The main character is another big plus. He's goofy, funny, and really likeable, which makes playing the game even more enjoyable. You can't help but root for the guy.

    Engaging Characters
    The way characters are introduced is fantastic. Some love interests even get a full animated intro, which makes you feel more invested in them right from the start. Each character has something interesting about them, which keeps you engaged.

    Unique Storyline
    I went into the game thinking it might be another cliché "living with four women" story, but I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline is unique and interesting, keeping you hooked as it unfolds.

    Fantastic Dialogue
    Lastly, the dialogue is some of the best I've seen. The addition of thoughts and well-timed lines creates genuinely funny moments and adds depth to the characters and story. It's clear a lot of thought went into writing the dialogue, and it pays off.

    Conclusion
    All in all, "Realm Invader" is a fantastic game that excels in audio, humor, animations, character development, and dialogue. The unique storyline and likeable main character make it a joy to play. If you're looking for a game that goes the extra mile in every aspect, this is it.

    The sex animations are amazing I really didn't expect that, it's probably top 3 of any I've seen around here. Most of the time I see animations in games here and I feel like : "Well, that's a little awkward, I would have preferred renders..." But here it really adds something

    The plot is ok. I'd say I'm somewhat interested in it.
    MC is ok.
    The girls are great, I like their models, I really like their different personalities, I like the choice. Their dialogues, the different dynamics, everything.

    I saw some complains about the unskippable scenes, I haven't had an issue with them.

    The world setting I like it, I don't know how to say it but it just feels right.

    I like the humor in this game too.

    The sex animations really make this game standout for me. Overall I really appreciate this game and hope it will keep being updated

    Review as of E2 1 P1.

    This almost is a 5 star game for me but I feel like I want to see more of the plot unfold before I give it that last star. Since right now this game is mostly a slice of life comedy that is enjoyable.

    Good Animations +
    The game is long and has alot of content for 2 episodes +
    Every character is likeable +
    Great characters so far with a variety of personality +
    Choices Matter - Example a character told me not to tell someone else about something. I did anyways as a result I missed out on a scene with her. +

    There is a I patch I didn't realize till after I played the game it isn't needed at all to make sense in this one. +

    The only negative I can think of so far is more just a me issue. It is when the developer character appears I really hate it as I find it annoying and not funny. Mostly cause I just dislike his model

    Funniest porn game I've ever played. It feels more like you're playing a game with a sexual component rather than a mindless porn game to get your rocks off, which are the exact type of porn games I hunt for. Animations are gorgeous, soundtrack is amazing, relationship-building is perfect, overall writing is fucking brilliant, and to top it all off, it's somehow it's all being produced from a solo dev (who's a pretty cool guy on discord). Absolute 10/10.

    The story is good, the animations are perfect and for me the humor is top notch. The characters are very lovely and well written. Im glad i found this game by accident and im gonna follow the progress.

    Funniest AVN of all time. Sarcasm, 4th wall breaking, absurdism, stupidity, cringe, memes. It takes all kinds of humor and uses them to its full effect like the avatar. The renders are second to none and characters that my 6th sense tells me will never be seen again leave a lasting impression even after reading the whole thing. This story is not unheard of but the way that the author builds the world, its faculties, the magic, and society are all done in a way that feels new. Great work Invader Gary

    This quickly became one of my favorites as I played. The MC actually has a personality which is great, the music is pretty solid, the girls in this are unique and lovable. and the humor is top notch. Honestly, this is probably the funniest game I've played on this site. Looking forward to more updates!

    Review for Ep. 2 P1

    This game has potential to become top 15-20 best games on this site in the next two year or so of development.

    However it needs two vital things imo, first taking a step fordward with sexual scenes, so far we have zero sexual scenes with penetration in maybe 5 hours of game. And second, tone it down with the comedy. I will get more concise on that later, but first thing first, pros and cons.

    PROS:

    • Renders in 4k with really good animations. Good visuals.
    • Likeable cast of characters, this includes main LIs, secondary characters such as the swimming team and the professor and the mc.
    • The mc feels really like a young adult, it has a very realistic personality of what a lot of 18 y.o are like. He is not a Gary Sue, neither an stupid fuck. He is smart, laidback, cares for others and sometimes he is bold an inmature, really a relatable 18 y.o mc.
    • The writing is pretty good, such a shame the dev doesn't want to do a more serious story so far. It has it's moments.
    • Cool sound effects and nice soundtrack.
    • The game made me laugh instead of just cracking a smile at some scenes.

    CONS:

    • WAY. TO. MUCH. COMEDY. This is mainly why I substrack one of the two stars in my review. The plot losses itself between comedy, sometimes it is well received, like the professor and the mc interactions, or the mc just being silly. But it painfully fucks up serious scenes, like there's one moment in which you discover that certain LI has childhood trauma and a fucked up thing happens, next thing is the mc comically hitting the said LI. Mc is having a heart to heart conversation??? Wait for the running gag to ruin it. It shorta remind me of the tv show "The big bang theory" where the writters were uncappable of doing a serious scene without it ending whit a joke. Like I said in PROS it is a shame that the dev does not use a more balanced approach, because they are capable of creating good writing.
    • Two years of development, 5 hours of content and very little sex scenes, that's the other star substraction. In fact mc is still a virgin, and I feel like dev should quit the exagerated slow burn at least with the character outside family.

    Like you can see the game has more pros that cons, but those two cons made me had to power through the game when I was maybe a the 65% of the total content. Specially the first point. If the dev intends to make a more serious story and give us some more lewd content than a few bj I will change my rating consequently.

    But nonetheless I think this game is going to be a big thing if the dev doesn't fuck up and updates regularly. I will try it again in the next update or two and edit my review.

    The animations are hands dowm the best I saw. There are a lot of those, and I mean A LOT. The story is nice and characters are very hot. Interactions are interesting and most of all this game is actually very funy.

    Best of luck for the dev, this game is one of my all time favorites now.
