VN - Ren'Py - Return to the Cabin [Ep.1] [PPanGames]

The dev excels in delivering a captivating experience with its engaging gameplay and impressive visuals. The story is great, and it offers a worthwhile journey. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

It is a promising game. The design of attracting characters and this kind of payment to them is interesting.
The future towards which the story goes seems attractive and interesting. Looking forward to seeing the hottest scenes in the future.
I really like the corruption of the female character to be discussed in detail and to see her corruption slowly.
And finally, thank you for making this interesting game.

Ok so I only played the NTR version and here is my thoughts...

Not much to go off here except for the old man trying to make some moves but nothing massive NTR (talking about the actual sex scenes which are non-existent). The MC had more fun which made me kind of bored but hopefully there will be more NTR that is more exhilarating.

"What is dead may never die" was taken literally here.


Story:

When the grandpa is away(Dead and rotting in the ground) the son will play. So the original wasn't an oscar nominated game but it was tolerable. If you're going to revamp a game like this then why not take the good and focus on improve the hiccups of the original to possibly make it better. But instead the dev took everything from the original. Like the original, there was barely any build up before the MC starts turning into the creep monster.

Like the other poster pointed out, they had minimum convo as normal functioning family before the MC turns on his "charm". It would've been smarter to build on this before crashing out so soon. The Dev just made it even more unserious than before. There's no pacing, everything felt rushed. Nothing new other than what we already experienced in the original except it's sped up more into I believe 3 chapters? No other characters then the 3 we've seen. The "Vanilla route" is just filled with sleep creep juice and the other.. nevermind.

Sometimes it's best to leave things alone..

Dialogue/Writing:

Basic. If you're familiar with the Dev's previous work then there's not much to expect in terms of story depth or character development.

Characters:
One dimensional.

Renders:
Decent


Overall:

Three games total. One was abandoned, the other was behind a paywall so I dropped it and now it appears to be stagnant. And this of course, another lazy "Fan made" bait for quick cash. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I didn't realize going into it that this was a remake by someone other than the initial dev. That doesn't change anything, but it is worth noting.

It could be due to choosing the NTR route (though I can't see how), but there's absolutely no lewd content in the first episode. MC gets close so many times, and then the scene dies out or he pussies out. It's genuinely annoying.

Renders are good, but there are issues with poses and clothes. If I'm honest, that isn't something that dissuades me from playing a VN, I've just learned how to spot corners being cut.

The story is pretty much the same as the original game, if you've ever played that, obviously with the new dual route system being a huge change.

I can't imagine it being worth playing both routes unless one has different lewd content than the other, but so far there doesn't seem to be any lewd content anyway.

I'd skip this if you want to fap or just enjoy seeing nudity. I don't think I'll ever understand why certain devs go out of their way for a slow burn that never really actually starts burning. Perhaps this one will surprise us in episodes 2 and 3.

Game deserves higher rating than it has, maybe not 5 as its a slightly watered down story wise of the original, however its still hot with a milf i like the look of and like hows shes chasing more. Just hopefully it s going to lead to multiple sex scenes and not one at the very end of the game.

To be honest, as a newcomer with no knowledge about the previous game on which it is inspired on, I don't see anything wrong with it!
Big beautiful tits ✅
MILF ✅
Big Ass ✅
Inc*st ✅
NTR ✅
What else do you need?
Also Story pace is going good, only con I felt was absence of amorous sounds during lewd scenes and the font below covering a lot of the renders, like you have to hit the H button a lot!
But these are easily fixable though
Ignore the negative feedback Dev, Great work

The Pros:

- Renders


The Cons:

- Writing
- Enhancements to an already enhanced character
- Stupid and creepy MC
- Cliche old man antagonist
- Giant textbox
- Grifting obviously grifting


This is just all around bad. The Dev says at the end of the update that he took it upon himself to finish this story because he was a fan and it being abandoned was unacceptable. No, what's unacceptable is you butchering a story that already had flaws to begin with.

Let's unpack this:

The story not only was not improved but made worse. The MC is now dumber and even more horny just for the sake of it. The conversation between he and the female main character was normal for like 5 minutes but the very moment they arrive at the cabin it's instant perving, instant spying and blank staring. What's horrible is that this is supposedly a place that's triggering for her, a place that she's had traumatic experiences in the past and how is she rewarded? By more perving from not only the MC but the cliché old man that last I checked was a decent widower in the original game. He starts groping and creeping on her while the MC is present. The same MC that just vowed to be there for after she gives him an earth shattering backstory on her past.

Of course, the Female character is even more stupid and submissive than before... So, I ask the question of what was improved? This mockery only hurts the original project. The female lead still looks like a teenager which is kinda on brand with the Dev considering his characters that are supposed to be milfs usually looks like teens. The writing is worse, he managed to make the MC unlikable. Cut out the other characters so now everything revolves around either the creepy MC perving on Female protagonist or the creepy old man. That's literally the story. He's already poorly paced this story to the point where the player is now almost caught up with the original. So now what?

The Gameplay is also not enjoyable because of this big ass textbox and sprite combination that takes up nearly 30% of the screen. A lot of pressing of the H key which is never fun.

Now doing a quick recap:

- The story is worse off than before
- Elementary level dialogue
- The female lead is dumber and more bimbo like
- The MC is dumber now and more pervy
- The antagonist is the same cliche old man from every ntr game
- Horrid textbox sprite that wrestles with renders

And this guy has the audacity to ask for money for this? Because let's face it, money is the only reason he's doing this because it has nothing to do with passion or bettering the story otherwisehis first two projectswould'vesuffereda better faith. I'd say good luck with this but it would be disingenuous.
