VN - Ren'Py - Rebirth [Ep.5 Update 13] [LikesBlondes]

I'm writing this review purely on a pragmatic basis. The game is in development for 1,5 years and barely has 4 hours of content. Other than 1 mediocre sex scene it has no sex (Although it has some sexy scenes). Story has been great but as I said it's too short and not what I expect from a game in F95 Zone. So if you want to play a game with good story with a bit of saucy stuff, this is a game for you. But if you're here (like me) for another purpose it just isn't worth it.

Nudity is not a big part of this game, and neither is player choice. The setting is interesting and the plot could end up being very good, and has been intriguing so far, but there's not enough of it (less than 5 hours on my playtime) to judge it.

I took one star away mainly for lacking choices in certain situations and, in turn, for sometimes dumb MC (the beginning when he chooses to tell his BFF, I understand it would be a lot of work or change the plot, but I'd rather not have told in my playthrough - but I had no choice).

An adult VN with limited RPG elements (select which type of powers and stats your character has, but only a couple places to use them so far).

This is a vampire game, heavy on lore and plot but surprisingly low on sex, mostly limited to sexy situations, flirting, and nudity.

There are some morality choices that have minor impact but feel like they could become more important.

Graphics are ok.

Some of the plot is driven by characters being dumb, but overall it's interesting.

One of the strengths is the consistent update schedule. It's great to check in and see what happened next in the story. Updates aren't too large or small ... perfect for a quick bite ... (sorry)

I must admit I came into this game somewhat skeptical about whether I would enjoy it, and found myself pleasantly surprised. This is now one of my favourite VN games. Sure, it is still early days, but there is a potentially rich world to enjoy, and I am a big fan of the writing, mood and setting so far.

It is a bit of a slow burn, and if you are looking for instant gratification, this is probably not the game for you. But, if like me you are looking for a deep world to explore, with a good story, and great characters, this might be the game for you.

I eagerly anticipate the next release!

This is a masterpiece for those who enjoy a good narrative and don't mind if the game has little sex content. The graphics are fine, not superb.
And if you're a fan of vampire stories, then this is for you. And if you're familiar with the tabletop RPG Vampire The Masquerade then you can't miss this.
I'm making a point of giving this 5 stars, even if it would be a 4 if I'd choose to get a point for not being superb graphics and no animations because not only the story is very good and very well told, it's also one of those unappreciated games with few patrons that deserve a lot better.

EDIT: 6 months later it's nice to see that the game is getting more attention on Patreon. But the releases are on the very low side, content-wise. In these six months the dev released about 3 or 4 hours of content, tops. Most likely around 2 hours.

not so much porn at the moment, more a work of art. the story is great and by the end you want more.
i started with no expectations nor did i read anything beforehand, and left with an addiction, i would explain the story but its better to jump in blind and enjoy the ride.
to the dev all i can say is keep up the amazing work on such a rare kind of story.

Just finished part 1 and 2 and eagerly waiting for the next update!

1- great plot and story. The story is very addictive which keeps you playing and playing for hours even not much sex scenes.
2- Renders and models are good, the enviroment rooms, cities or the throne room are fine as well but they could have been the best by adding more vast areas.
3- the choices are poor because not much of variety where in most of the scenes we cannot choose to do what we want I hope the dev works on it and give us more choices to control the game.

Overall it is an addictive game with addictive plots.

Excellent story. Not a fap fest, but very engrossing. Many game theory questions and an active set of discussions, which are almost as enjoyable as the game itself. Author has excellent renders, beyond excellent story. If you like vampires this is a must play!

If you like vampire theme like me, this game is for you.

I am a huge fan of Bloodlines and love the vampire world. The game is modeled after Bloodlines and I like it very much.

Although I love the world of the game, I couldn't find the main girl of the game very attractive. Her place in the story is well established but I feel as if it could be a little more beautiful and attractive. And I couldn't really love that blonde girl you're so close to. Unfortunately, the same thing that I wrote above is also valid here. It's starting to get annoying. The thing turns out to be this: You have to spend the whole game with the girls you don't find attractive. But as I said, these are my views.

MC is a cool character indeed. You gradually learn the responsibilities of being a vampire and feel and act exactly like a vampire. But I couldn't really understand the vampires' fainting at sunrise. The day is starting to rise and you suddenly start fainting. This situation did not make much sense to me. Vampires do not faint when the day begins to rise, they simply do not go to the light of day, and they usually sleep during the day. This 'sleeping' state has been changed to 'passing out' in this game.

There are very few sex scenes in the game, but that was not a problem for me because you know, I'm sucker of vampire theme! But this may not be the case for everyone. I think it would be much better to add some sex scenes to the game.

The game is really good. Do not mind that I have written so bad things, I wrote them for the game to come to good places.

I really liked the game and look forward to the upcoming updates.

Just came across this yesterday, ended up playing it for like 3+ hours, really fun!
Writing/story: 5/5
Renders: 5/5 (they really set the mood for the story and help immerse yourself in this "world")
Nitpick: I get that the game is about the story and I really really enjoyed playing it, BUT ... I really would love to see the MC get some "real" action soon™!
I understand the game isn't necessarily about how many chicks can vampire dude fuck, but I think some actual sex scenes could enhance the story even further.
Can't wait for the next update!

I always expect a good sexcapade because of the tag "mind control".
But here the main character is struggling to get an erection and his pussy is under constant treat of being smashed by other dudes (NTR).

Very good story though

The only reason that I downloaded this game is because I saw the tag for Mind Control, which is my favorite tag for adult games. I didn't care for the preview images. But anyway, I was expecting a sex game and it wasn't. And I don't think that there is anything wrong with having a game with no or very little sexual content, but I just wish that I received fair warning first. So I used the walkthrough mod and I skipped through the entire game. I usually do that for a few minutes to get a feel of what the game will be like. I only meant to fast forward a little, because in most games that I play things get a little interesting early on. Or if not early on, "eventually". But things never got sexually interesting in this game. The characters were ugly and unattractive. Their body language, outfits, and day to day activities and lives were so boring and uninteresting. If I had the choice to be the MC in this game and live his life and be with the females that he is around, or keep my current life of just staying home on my computer all day and jerking off to porn... I would definitely choose the later. But I guess that there is one thing going for this game. The supernatural aspect. It wasn't just a game where a lot of the characters had fangs instead of normal teeth. It had more depth than that. There were actual humanoid monsters. You also had claws and invisibility, but the game sucked so bad that you didn't use these like you would skills in a game. It just gave you a choice "use claws or do nothing" or "use invisiblity or do nothing" and there was only one instance of each choice in entire game. I didn't play this game normally though. I just fast forwarded it. So the game might be better than it appears. But if the characters were actually attractive and interesting with better body language and better day to day lives and activities, then I would gladly play this game despite it not having any real sex scenes. But it looks so boring and unattractive, that I am giving it a hard pass. I want to give this game a 1. But since it has the supernatural in it, I'll generously and grudgingly bump it to a 2. And if it had the tag "no sexual content" or "very little sexual content" I wouldn't have bothered giving it a bad review at all.

This has to be one of the most well-written visual novels out there. All the characters are introduced and developed really well with strong personality traits. The only cons I could think of were a couple of those renders where the vampire's hair looks stiff as a brush. But it didn't really matter to me as much as it should like in the other games coz the story got me hooked.
What a beast of a writer! Movie material stuff.

For a game with an insane amount of nudity there is very little sex, I get some games are more plot driven but why so much nudity for the sake of nudity with no real action in the game?

It is a shame because the characters animations look great & the vampire genre is used very minimally in these games that being said the story is pretty good but if people out there are looking for titilation look elsewhere as there is next to nothing to be found here

The world is more or less Vampire: The Masquerade.

The focus of this VN is story, characters and their interactions. There are a few choices but the protagonist mostly does his own thing.

Playtime is about 5-6 hours as of ep2up5.
Don't expect much in the way of h-scenes. There are a few present but I found them creepy and unsettling more than sexy. I suspect that's intentional.

Anyway, the characters are great and the story is great, so I would warmly recommend this VN.

Sexy vampires? I’m in! This is a rare gem, the story is interesting and suspenseful, the girls are hot, and the MC is an immortal Casanova; the dialogue is often witty and funny, and I can’t get enough. Each update leaves me at the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next.

This has got me hooked. I really didn't expect to like it, but I'm really enjoying this. The minimal sexual content does not make it less enjoyable at all. The characters are interesting. The story flows very well. When the current update ended, I was craving more. Renders are good. The darkness hasnt seemed like too much dark (which has happened in other VNs), Great job and keep it coming!

I really like vampire stories and fantasy in general. In adult games I vastly prefer story driven games with romance and great characters. So this game feels like it was made for me.
Don't play it if you just want sex scenes to masturbate to!

Found myself incredibly disappointed by this game. Maybe it's just me (and looking at the other ratings suggest maybe it is) but I could only get so far before stopping.

It's just........ boring. Starting off, the game seems to take place and the MC is along for the ride. He has no say in anything which happens to him until about 10/15 minutes of just watching plot happen. It's not helped that one of the first characters you speak to has the ability to make you do whatever she wants so it really hammers home the point where it feels like someone elses story. In the parts I played, I've no issue with there not being any sex in it. It wouldn't have helped make me feel more engaged than I did. It was just.... meh.

I get the subject matter kinda makes it required, but most of the renders I've seen so far are quite dark which isn't great when trying to judge the quality of what's on screen.

Maybe it picks up later but the game suffers from being almost stale. The plot is interesting but the fact I got too bored to continue before it even got to the point isn't exactly a tick in the plus column.

This is a game that I have been wanting to play for some time now. I think my fear was that it wouldn't be what it is. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is what I hoped it would be.

Having just played through episode 1 and episode 2 Up. 3, I have to say that I love the story so far. I have enjoyed playing through it and where I suspect the story might be going in the future. It doesn't rush into sex or anything sexual. But even still the visuals are great and help bring everything together.

Easily 5 stars, would recommend.
