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

Played Version: Episode 1 - 3up1

It starts extremly promising. Like a "Vampire: The Masquerade" story.
But it has turned into "supernatural" in no time.
It has the "Vaginal" tag. So there is a sexscene hidden somewhere. But in my 2 playthroughs there was "No sexual content".


The main problem the game has is that the dev didn't make a plan what he wants to archive.
First: he make a stats system like in a roleplaying game. That stat system has never been used for anything. After the first scenes you will not be able to add any points somewhere.
Later he discorvered: "Hey! Why make a game, when I just need to write endless texts about people that pretend to do something that will not happen?"

Yes, the blueballing is hardcore. The MC thinks very often about Sex. But never get some. He even thinks in "my way" .. like "Hey we have a naked women in a cage in the basement.
I could make her my slave (thrall)" or "make her my pet (doll)".
But in the end you do nothing. Not even close. She ends up getting a very nice living room in your villa. Your thrall is a complete idiot that don't understand shit and so forth.
Superpowers, for beeing a vamp: Nope. Other vamps have superpowers. You will never use them in an interaction. And overall, you can become invisible. This is used in exactly ONE moment, and this is the moment when you discover that you are able to do it. You will NEVER choose a power to use by youself. That makes all the "Your Clan is probatly a shitty ashtray kin" and "No I come from the noblest of noble elders, a godess herself"-Talk, wich takes huge place in the story, to nonsense. Because it doesnt matter who made you, and how many powers you inherit, if you never use them and everything you can decide in this game is:
Shall I say "Hey Awesome!" or "Hi, Bitch" to greed certain persons. (yep thats all what the dev left to the player)

The renders are very nice, the character models are very nice, the story starts good, then it is exciting but then it quickly turns into one of the most boring soap operas I ever saw. My descisions have no impact, they are just fake to have the illusion of decide something.

If you here to watch nice Character Models. Thats your "game" then.
If you here because this is a piracy porn site and you want play a game with adult content, then I have to dissapoint you. This is neither a game nor has it adult content. Its a "kinetic novel" with "no sexual content" to say it in F95 -language

Welcome to the world of vampires. Control your monstrous impulses, enjoy your new status as an undead and, whatever you do, don't bathe in sunlight, go feral or break the Masquerade. None of the glitter-on-your-body or counting-numbers bullshit, or your money back.

The setting is as original as vampire fictions and urban fantasy gets. In fact, you may feel something very familiar if you are a fan of White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade. Vampires secretly live among humans, has their own hierarchal and feudal-esque society and work to uphold the Masquerade. Vampires need to control their inner Beast to prevent going feral, stay under the radar and...you get the point.

You may wonder where you come in to all of this. You were a random DJ who got embraced by a bored vampire elder, and only survived because a vampire took you as her underling and student. You then got increasingly involved in local and national vampire political intrigue, started uncovering the truth behind your sire and how unique you may be among damned flesh.

As a visual novel, it goes without saying that this game offers less agency than VTMB, but with some pretty solid writing, it's still pretty enjoyable. Seeing that things are going to get real soon enough, you may want to try it now and see if this is to your liking.

I really liked this game, even though I usually am a bit wary about Vampire stories. I was not terribly impressed at the start, but I started to really like it quite soon. The game does not really give much choices, which often annoys me as it forces the MC to make asinine choices; but in this case it was fine as the MC behaved as felt right anyway. (The story is maybe not terribly sophisticated as has clearly good and bad guys and identifies them pretty immediately, but at least the good guys feel good and in the given framework the MC behaves reasonably.) Art is good, I was less impressed with the music (it was too "epic" at the start when the subject matter was not yet obvious; and is not "looped" very well if that is the word, i.e., the music clearly finishes and restarts, not synchronized with the game)

Update: I now also "played" Ch2 and Ch3 (there is actually not much to play there, it is pure VN). Unfortunately I was less happy than about Ch1; the lack of choice / agency was more of a problem here as the behavior of the characters seemed a bit less reasonable.

Unfortunately, I have to rate this game in the context it exists for me: f95zone. I understand that this is likely NOT what the developers intended, but that's where it is. I have specific expectations when it comes to what I play here. I'm not looking for a scene-to-scene sex orgy. However, I'm not interested in a game for which there is little sex, either. The tags on this game: MILF, mind control, vaginal sex, voyeurism. You would think would these tags you'd get a certain type of game. You'd be very, very...very wrong. In terms of MILF, I have no idea what they're even talking about. The characters in the story are not particularly maternal nor are they curvey. When it comes to mind control, 99% of the time, this has nothing to do with sex -at all-. And...I really mean it. Not at all. That's sort of the deal with this whole endeavor: there is basically no sex involved in the game whatsoever.

Slight spoiler: the MC, at a point, can't use his dick for a reason. At first, I thought that this was a way to develop a story and lay down some background. But no..that's just basically how the entire game is. You can't use your dick for basically all of it. Nor do women use their parts for any particular reason. What occurs most often in this game is nudity of a completely platonic nature. In a word, from the sex side of it, it's empty. Boring. If the attempt here is to "draw out tension" or whatever, you sort of lose that after the first episode. You're no longer teasing the audience to build tension, you're just making a sex-free game.

The only reason this gets any star is that the concept and storyline are actually quite good. It's a story we know but with unique elements, lore, etcetera. That's very positive.

The music sucks. Nuff said, there.

End of day, even if you like a good story, if you want to play a sex game, this isn't a sex game. It'd sort of be like calling an action movie where there is one sex scene a porno. Obviously, that's not the case. It's just a small bit at one or two moments. The way the dialogue goes and the way the story seems to be headed is that MC will have all these great sexual exploits. Unfortunately, after 6 gigabytes of story, there's actually nothing here. It's a big bummer and, again, if you're looking for a sex-based game, this is not it.

It was really refreshing to see such a well made game. The attention to detail with the images, the lore, etc. all very nice to see in a game.

There were some slight continuity issues with the MC being surprised to meet certain people, when in the previous episode we already met them, but that can be overlooked and isn't a large drawback.

I'm more inclined to ignore that oversight when other things, like the MC still having his hospital band on his arm, after he gets home. That's a small detail that really shows the artist is paying attention.

Another drawback potentially could be the file size, with each "episode" being 3GB it's a rather large game, but imo it's worth it when you play through the game and just lose yourself in the world and characters.

I'm all for slow burn games, I prefer them even, but this game feels like it's lost it's way somewhere.
The updates are very short but frequent.
The game is 95% about the story and if it was a great story that would be fine and dandy, but it's not really that great in the end.
It's not that it's a story that wouldn't work in a porn game, in fact I think it could work really well.
It's just that it focuses so much on it that you miss building relationships with the girls.
The sad fact is that without building relationships this story is not good enough to keep your interest.
You keep hoping for this game to make a turn and focus a bit less on the story and plot, and instead focus on the girls more, but after all this time it's just not happening...

Slow burn, great plot and likable characters. This game is cleverly written and very interesting. I have forgotten long time ago that this is porn game and, to be honest, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm so interested in plot of this game that I don't care if this game never turn into a "real" porn game.
Definitely 5 star game for me!

Review (Ep. 3v1)
Lets start with the Things i dont like.
- There is not a lot Sex
- The Main Protagonist is really bland, its a standard Protagonist and until now he doesnt have anything that makes you root for him .. yet.
Now everything I do like.
- Vampire Theme.
- The Story is great.
- exept for MC i do find the people in this game interesting
and propably everything else.
I Recomend this Game without a Doubt.

The only thing i could suggest is the font kinda hard to read especially when its with capital letters, story wise the game is awesome i like it it keeps u entertained the whole time. only thing i wish is that i would be faster with updates ( i understand why its slow and all).
All in all the game rocks keep up the good work!

This is a great game story-wise. Reminds me alot of Masquerade-Bloodlines, which I'm pretty sure is the inspiration behind the game.

The stats system adds abit of flavor to the game, once again, reminding me of the RPG-ness of Bloodlines.

But as an adult game, I can't really judge it as there's almost no sex-scenes. Or maybe I made bad decisions. I really can't tell because even with the walkthrough it was pretty vague.

There's a few games like this that I rated and I'll say it for this game as well. If this wasn't an adult game it'll probably be way better. Focus on the parts that are great, and that's storytelling for a amazing vampire RPG.

Superb game from a superb dev! The character development is excellent and the story is compelling! I think it would make an excellent series of novels! Perhaps the dev has created the next Harry Potter series?

Wooooo where to start on this beauty of a game. The models...omg the models....fucking beautiful. Sharon is by far my favorite

The story is amazing. At the start it is kind of speedy but the pacing becomes amazing once you're turned. The story and the character building had be just stuck into the story. It had me actually debating and thinking about what I wanted to do. You don't see that often anymore.

This a slow burner story but holy shit is it worth it. I recommend anyone and everyone try this game. The dev seems to be pretty active and I'm heading over to his patreon now to throw him my money to show my support. I really hope this game goes on for a while and the rest of the story is just as amazing as it is now.

I started this game after a friend of mine recommended it to me, and damn.
This might just be my favorite adult fantasy/horror game on this site (also, it would go as one of my top 5 favorite games in f95)

The story literally sucks you in (lol sorry for the pun, couldn't resist), and through the MC we learn this world of the night & all its horrors. It just feels so expansive, and enriched with so many great characters all around (though my absolute favorite character would have to be Sharon. Her personality, charm, wit, and beliefs, I'm just mesmerized by her character).

And it was really fun discovering MC's new abilities as he continues to face difficulty and challenges (it also gets me curious as to what further new abilities he has, and will there be any chance to use more than one ability at once (and not just one at a time).

It really is a fantastic game, that really feels like a total package; great writing, wonderful & charming characters, great environment, compelling tone.

Can't wait to see how the story goes on with MC's journey in this world.

Found this 4 days ago and man, i love it!

Pros :

• The story, at first it is escalated rather quickly like all of a sudden you are a vampire. But after that i enjoy the pacing of the story.
• Your choice does matter, it will affect what attribute you will get and if that attribute is high enough you will get an ability. If you get the ability it will affect the story so, choose wisely lad
• The characters development is well done

I don't have anything bad to say about this game for now.

If you are here for fapping then this is not the game for you at least not now , so steer clear from this game before you leave a bad rating because there is not a lot of steamy scenes yet

100% HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE A RIDE~

Basing this short review on the fact it is clearly meant as a porngame (ep2.up8)

Story 3/5

Art 2/5

Characters 2.5/5
(Great idea for a porn protagonist btw, immortal vampire with no blodpressure so no erection...)

Come for the horrorish/thriller plot, and don't cum for the lack of erotica.
Lots of passion I assume from the dev, but means there's no passion left for me and others to enjoy anything noteworthy.
Instant cliché

Overall, I think the story is great. Hopefully in the future there will be some animation. One thing I would change is that have less of the vampires telling the thralls to go to bed. Keep up the good work!

while its still early, its one of the best games/Vn out there right now,
The renders and models are quite good, the background music does a perfect job at setting the tone of the experience, there is a good amount of different characters, each very unique, and the story in general is well crafted.

The good:
The premise and overall story is pretty good, the art is fine and the vampire theme is not used a lot so that's also a positive.
The bad:
Characters are exaggerated and inconsistent, in one scene they can be wise and logical, in the next dumb and emotional and in another one dense and dissmissive. Erotic scenes are REALLY bad (the first one is fine tho). Writing is pretty crude and basic.

This is not a good porn game, not a good story driven game and not the good mix of both.
For a porn game it have too few scenes and most of them are just bad, for the story driven game the writing is too crude and there is not enough effort put into keeping characters consistent. I really tried to like this game, but I just couldn't ignore its flaws.
It's like a D class horror, i have liked quite a few of them, but only when i looked at them as parodies, if i could do the same for this game it would be 4/5 rating.

Very good adult visual novel.
Not made for a quick fap.
Entertaining story.
I actually read 90% of the dialogue, because I was genuinely interested in most of the plot.
Hope to see more of this game soon, and I will return in 2-3 updates, for another playthrough.
Took about 3-4 hours total from start to finish as of ep 2 up 7.

This is an AVN but not fapping material! best description i can make!

My kind of game where sex happens organically and since the characters are dead ...

great story if you enjoy rpg style games or mistery games with rpg elements is more like it!
