VN - Ren'Py - Reunion [v0.70 New] [Karabinek]

The game is good despite my rating !

I didn't like writing. The characters having "amnesia" regarding their chat, especially Jenn and MC. Whole part about relations of MC and the sisters before the letters part isn't good. All this "their attitude", "like it used to be" and bla bla bla...idk, not much effort here. The details of what exactly girls mother did to MC should've been revealed a bit earlier, because he's whining all the time but all we know that she kicked him out and why. But in his own words it's "everything she've done to me" and only later we will know some interesting parts of this story.
All the lines about "revenge on that bitch" etc...there's too much of it. Too much repetitive thoughts from characters.
When MC asking Sandra if she and Isabelle friends - she says no and that Isa only hired her, i.e. work relationship. And

Another example - Nicole. MC supposed she's in some kind of trouble, i.e. bad company, gang or smth. Asked Mary to look at it. Next time the subject appears - MC discussing with Mary that some1 blackmailing her and they need to figure how to help her WITHOUT anything in between. One moment MC has only guesses exluding blackmailing, couple minutes after - he already knows it's blackmailing. Etc, etc, etc.

ON THE OTHER HAND: MC and his GF's written so much better ! It's so cool and warm ! I didn't like Khloe's chat at start, she sounded like MCs mother. How can u live here, what r u wearing etc, but didnt notice anything similar later. MC's nightmare was made very cool, I mean I would've like more flashback with him and girls, short but interesting.

The whole idea with MC's parents are interesting. Looking into it. Also I liked he's keen to know about Sandra's incident.

The potential size of Harem in this game is unpredictably huge

I can't say I'm really into incest genre it's just so annoying to read this whole "landlady, roommate and neighbor" stuff so I cant stand it. BUT that small and almost innocent scene between Jenn and Lisa...O.M.G. It was such a heat !

Btw, ty for letting to choose Lisa's haircut !

The scenes isnt bad, I wish they could've been longer with more options. There are several animations. Overall I'm fine with this part.

I didnt mean to offend developer in any way. I'm really grateful for your work ! But this game could've been 10 times better with good writing. The second half of this version is so much more heartwarming and good.

Usually the games have rather good or bad writing but here is that contrast that blew my mind, that's why I've decided to post my first review here.

I hope everything will go good for the dev.

[Rev @ v0.3]

Art's nice. Love the boobage.

Writing's good with enjoyable voice and fluency. Scenario's a bit trite but also implemented well. Characterization is very strong for the most part but the sisters trio seem a bit unstable and inconsistent at times.

Porn's very enjoyable, but I am likely biased because I like harems / groups / poly.

The technical implementation has some letdowns. I ran into at least two instances of the Ren'py errors with missing/corrupt images and there are logic errors in the dialog trees with multiple occurrences of characters discussing matters before they learn about them.

TLDR: very nice and #watched~.

Congrats to the dev, you made a damn good work with this game, i really enjoyed playing it, lots of characters, all are really pretty and hot. The renders are amazing with lots of animations, it really worths the disk space, i'll always keep space for your game
And not only the artwork is great but the story too, i can't keep waiting for the next episode.
Your game is definitely in my best list. Continue this way please !

Sooo... That's a controversial game to say the least.

There's people around would love it and people who dislike it.

I'm in the latter part.

For the review:


Graphics: They are amazing and good animation too. All model are nice to gorgeous. A little on the doll bimbo part but i kinda like it. Renders are great all along. Great work

Story: Outch that hurt! unbelievable story , bad character writing, dialogue kind of unemotial. I can't really understand how you fuck up that much. Lots of review already told why in details so i won't but the age, the blackmail, the female/MC interaction all is wrong. Even the amount of female which is good but they are all threw to you at the same time with no progression. The little sister is the only one quite correctly written.

If i were the dev, i would not have included the already formed threesome partnership. You need some challenge in the story a little... not having a full harem already at the start of the game.

For the first sex scene, i get it why but dislike the "best sex ever" thing.

The more important thing is the construction of the character. It is as if the women are all in love with the MC in the first eye contact and that's ok for 1 but come on not 15.... You need build up, character construction, progression!

The linda archenemy thing is promising but is misused. I would prefer a story where the daughters are important to her and the MC steal them away for revenge or love. Apart of the money there is nothing, no angle to take revenge upon.

That's all for me. Instead to make the story progress the author could rewrite all the beginning according to me.

So 2 stars game with so beautiful graphics, i rate it 3 stars

Let's start with the good things about this game: Good renders and Good animations, that's all.


The bad things about this game: The conversations are weird as fuck, doesn't transmite emotions, it feels like the dev doesn't know how to talk with people. It's rushed asf, in day 2 already 2 girls seems to have fallen for him, the lawyer that he met only 2 days ago and Lisa that was his friend back then but they didn't talk in the last 10 years.
The reasons of the two other girls to hate him is a joke. The blackmail is a joke too, (spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) HE LEFT THE HOUSE THAT HIS FATHER OWNED BECAUSE HIS FATHER FRIEND( OR WIFE, I DON'T KNOW) SAID THAT SHE SAW THAT HE PUSHED HIS FRIEND OFF A BRIDGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY A LIE AND SHE HAD NO PROOF AT ALL, it's the worst blackmail that i have ever seen.The characters have giant heads, the models look like dolls and not real people, like, i played two games that the models seemed like dolls too, but the story, the characters are all well written so you start to ignore the fact that they look like a doll and start liking them, but not in this game because as i said earlyer the conversations doesn't transmite emotions and it seems like it's a robot talking, not a human, the MC has no charisma at all too.

This game just made my fav list.
Insanely beautiful women, amazingly good storytelling and dialogues.
What l like most about this game is that MC isn't afraid to speak his mind and don't hesitate to show people their place.
This is a must play from me.

Pretty interesting story and the mystery wrapped inside a "holy shit" twist is brilliant. Like how MC does not just bullshit the woman, but tells them what is going on his relationship wise and leaves it to the woman to decide if she is interested. He can be a gentle guy, with those who deserve it, and can also dish out punishment. Great character.

Let me just start by saying 5 fucking stars for this content so far.

I`ve played so many VN`s on here and was disappointed with how weak and submissive the Male MC`s were in them. I like my MC to be strong and dominant! Grab `em by teh Pusssssssy!

Anyhoo, this Dev just gets it. Our MC in this story will bend the gorgeous females to his will. one way or another. Those who oppose him, well our MC is not scared to bend `em over and spank some ass...

The story is a revenge one and is pretty cool, it`s enjoyable and intriguing. The women are pretty damn hot! and you can build towards a harem it seems. Within 5 minutes of playing, you get with a sexy goddess and our boy gives her a night to remember.

Only complaint? the MC looks like something out of Brother Where Art Thou...just missing some Dapper Dan for that haircut....

If you want an MC who is emasculated or enjoys seeing his LI getting their holes destroyed by some other buff Alpha male`s cock, this is not for you.
If you want to be the one that does the dominating and fucking, it`s right up your street.

I cannot wait for more updates.

Great game. I enjoyed a lot playing it. For my surprise there was no girl i didn't like. Also, the best thing is that you don't need to choose one girl over the other. The story is a little cliche but what matters IMO is the sex scenes anyway.

I would like to see more content specially of the assistent (not the lawyer or the secretary) and the first girl the MC met in the hotel.

The issue i got, however, is that not all the scenes in the no "smoking fetish" route was hided, but it also was just one or anothe render anyway.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker.

review after v.0.2

My review will contain spoilers so if you don't want to see those, please don't read anymore.

How a game with such beautiful visuals has such a terrible story tale? I imagine the dev's effort to make all those beautiful renders, only to ruin everything with a shallow storyline and indifferent characters.

Pros
beautiful models and renders
a lot of content for just a 0.2 version
the sex scenes aren't that bad

Cons
Too many characters! There are like 20 girls and he just threw them all out just from the start and i honestly don't remember what their names are or what they do.
All the girls are dressed like sluts. Not sexy, but slutty which is very different and a huge turnoff for me because you want your girl to dress slutty on special occasions, not all the freakin time.
I still don't know who MC is. We see glimpses of what he did the last 10 years, but now he's confident without telling us why, he's protective at times and a violent bully some others, etc. We never see him have any thoughts, see him confused or contemplate whether or not he should do some things or not. We basically have zero idea what's the deal with this dude.
The girls have zero personalities and need the MC to save them. Even smart girls like laywers are suddenly willing to work as secretaries just because he seems "trustworthy", whatever that means.
Also, they are all seem desperate for sex which is odd considering how beautiful they are, but somehow they're all single (or about to be) and would only allow MC to flirt or have sex with them.

Overall, this is another game with tremendous potentials that will not reach. I urge the dev to find some friends or patreons (not yes!men, but providing acual critisism and help) to look his story before developing so they can tell him which parts work and which don't. It's a shame because he clearly works hard for those renders, but right now it's the only thing worth your time in this game.

Liked this from the start.. The edgy story hooked me right in. The characters are likable and haterble. This is not as much as a slush fest as most harem games are. Did not find a single bug or crash either and considering it is only it's second release and has a few hours content that is impressive. The only flaw i could find is that sometimes the English seems off somehow, maybe a translation issue if the writer is not English native? not sure. Most of time The writing is fine. There are also maybe a few to many "Bimbo Giant Boob" jobs in it for me, but that is purely a subjective taste issue so i cant mark it down for that. All in all though a fine VN with a mysterious Edgy plot and some nice renders.

Nice renders with a clunky story and mediocre writing. First release was a while ago and playing the latest one I've caught myself thinking "Who the hell is that?" so many times, it's like all girls have the same personality and the same problems and only MC can solve it so they get his dick as a reward.

Well, I must confess, I am also very torn when it comes to the evaluation.

The last four reviews here are in line with what I would say about the game. The graphics are good, the story... well, diffentent story

But what makes me want to give no more than three stars is the fact that the story has very deep plots.

Let's take the main reason for the story of this graphic novel: The main character had to leave the house 10 years ago because of Linda.
So far so good. But: the women in the game should have fallen in love with the main character 10 years ago? If you look at the graphics, the main character is now 19-20 years old?!? So they all fell in love with a child? However, if the character, in order to do justice to the chronological sequence, is now 26-30 years old, then the chosen model is really not suitable for him.

And these inconsistencies unfortunately run through the whole story. Unfortunately. Because the approach is really good, the entanglements of the side characters are well thought out and the lyrics are well written. The story really has potential, if it weren't for these holes in the story.

Therefore 3 stars for:

• very good renderings
• Good looking character (female)
• Good dialogues
• Poor storylines (but some good ideas)
• Often incomprehensible actions of the character
• too many plot holes ( mistakes in the contexts)

Tough to rate this game tbh

To me, personally, both visuals and story have the same importance in this type of game. And while one of them (visuals) is great, the other one (story) is very bad

- Renders look great. Places, objects and characters look natural and realistic. And the animations are fluid and not robotic like in some other games.
- There are way too many characters. Enough to make it impossible to add any depth to them, they're all as shallow as a puddle. Also, there's like one other guy other than MC lol, the dude who got fired and appeared in 5 renders.
- Character behavior is unrealistic, to say the least. They mostly act like a bunch of lonely girls who haven't had sex in 10 years despite the fact that they all look like supermodels. They all instantly wanna fuck MC. Some people might like that, but I don't.

Another game with wasted potential due to bad planning and writing. Dev certainly knows how to make stunning renders and great animations but fails to deliver a compelling and believable story.

There was a line in this game that really resonated with me.

"God what a shitty movie this is. The plot of this film is stupider than in subordinate porn. The main character looks like a faggot, and he was supposed to be a tough guy. He's fucking ugly and all the women around him are wet and horny when they look at him."

I genuinely can't tell if this was the dev poking fun at his own game, or if it was just supposed to be an unconnected piece of dialogue. It's literally the perfect description for this game. The plot and interactions are absurd, to the point of being nonsensical. The dialogue is stunted and immersion-breaking, and the MC acts absolutely stupid most of the time.

The animations are good, and the renders are decent, but the story is hot trash. The guy looks awful with his bowl cut and perpetually-open mouth. Not to mention he looks like a manlet whenever he stands next to a girl in heels.
He wears the same ratty white t-shirt to work every day hires an unknown lawyer on his first day as a "trusted employee". His dialogue sounds like that of a child trying to act grown-up and cool, despite him supposedly being some super-secret military agent with "skills". He decides to wear a plaid shirt and jeans on a date, despite the chick wearing an evening dress. When the other secretary lady asks him what the dress code is, he says, "As sexy as possible. HEHE jUsT KidDiNg!" like that is supposed to be funny. Honestly, I couldn't write a more cringy MC if I tried.

And while the renders are good, the women all look the same. There is no variation in body type and many of the faces look very similar.
All in all, I can say this is not worth wasting time on if the dev doesn't step up his game soon.

0.3:

Feel exactly the same as I did before the update. There are moments of above average gameplay, but only moments. It just feels kind of cheap and even if it was just a "turn your brain off" kind of game, the renders aren't really that fantastic. The characters look pretty plasticy and rather fake and it just sort of feels lazy, amateurish? I'm not expecting anything perfect but that above and beyond mentality just doesn't exist with this dev. So if the story is meh, and the renders are meh, it basically is just at best an average game.

I think if the game got a hard rework it could be a 5 star. But that would take a ton of time and effort that I highly doubt the developer or the patrons would take too kindly towards.

Please also use webp. Your individual image files are wayyyyy too big. 8gb for a 0.3, sheesh.


________________________________________________________________________

0.2:

I can surmise this game by saying it currently has a lot of wasted potential.

The renders are really well done and there are many characters you get to meet in the game. There are a lot of choices you can make to attempt to 'customize' your play through so to say. If I'm totally honest with myself, this is where the game stops being above average.

It's clear a lot of work went into this game and I certainly can appreciate that but I cannot pretend it's a 5 star masterpiece in its current state.

The dialogue is so robotic and uninspired. There are shades of different personalities shown by all of the different characters but it's hard to actually see them as separate people. They lack depth and feel lifeless in my eyes. I'll admit, I find some of the characters cute and I honestly think if the game was written better I could really love some of them. But for now it feels like all of the girls are just archetypes; they aren't actual characters. The conversations between MC and these people are just so strange and almost feels like I'm reading a google translate summary of something written in a different language. People don't talk like this and I personally fear for you if you think this dialogue sounds natural. Is it the worst I've seen? Hell no, but it is nowhere near 5 stars in this regard.

Next, the story. The story is alright at best and is leagues above the dialogue/writing but that's not saying much at all. It's extremely far-fetched; granted I don't go play an AVN for a fully realistic story. It's just almost hard to follow though because of it. All the girls you meet just have something fucked up going on in their life and they all keep looking to you to fix it. It's kind of like those porn videos where the pizza dude delivers to some naked girl and they fuck. Yes that is the level of depth I feel this story has. That being said, there's nothing entirely wrong with that but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking the story is anything special.

Another thing worth mentioning, is that the game doesn't feel terribly polished. Some of the choices don't really add up in my mind and feel lazy. The dialogue stays the same, characters often act bipolar, switching personalities like a light-switch. (Yes character development is fantastic to have in a game but it feels incredibly nonsensical and cheap if done badly).

Simply, I think there are a lot of issues with the game and it's very easy to overlook them because there are pretty faces and lots of sex. Who am I to say that's wrong? But, I will say that this isn't a 5 star game in my eyes but I'm glad that this game is doing well. I really want to enjoy it and I even pledged to it, hoping that the next chapter would be a vast improvement over the first release, but it doesn't seem to be the case for me.

I wish the best for this game and I definitely will edit my review if things change in the future. For now, I'd say this is a game worth trying; maybe you'll enjoy it but it currently feels like a "turn my brain off and go for a fap" type of game which isn't really my thing.

I really don't like giving such a low rating so early into the development, as it can be unfair and quite discouraging, but dear lord, the writing needs some serious overhaul.

Right from the get-go, the interactions and dialogues are flimsy and shallow. Sometimes it gets so ridiculous that it sucker-punches you straight out of any immersion you might have had. In a lot of cases, you're just left there thinking to yourself "no normal human being talks like that".

The characters themselves are very bland. Throughout couple hours of gameplay, there were absolutely no defining qualities to any of them. You can look at their bio in the stats menu, but honestly, none of those characteristics ever manifest themselves in any way. So you feel absolutely nothing for these girls. I feel that's in part of oversaturation with girls you have at the start. There are just too many of them.

The MC is a terrible person. Now, the developer is probably trying to set up an idea, that the MC is very devoted to the ones he cares about, and will stop at nothing to make sure of their well-being. That's just not how the story plays out. If you dissect what's being presented to you, you're nothing more than a thugh with a lot of power and money behind you. Almost every girl you come close to, you first exploit their vulnerabilities to gain their trust and "generate favor points", which you redeem as affection. Not once has the MC displayed any wit, tact, humor... So, in the state the MC is right now, a label of "predator" would suit him the most.

That's what in my opinion is wrong with the game right now. The models look great, the UI is okay, the animations are not terrible, so there's no need to talk about it while it's still in development. But something HAS to change about the writing before this gets run into the ground.

Well, this is a nice find!

First I thought this was going to be a bad telenovela-story. But now I'm really excited to find out what happens in the next update! And I really like the MC's way to handle shit!

I was very positively surprised just how much content there is. I mean, it's a v0.1... normally, 0.1-Versions of a game are played through in ... what ... 30 to max 60 minutes? I sat on this for three hours. And now I find out, that the v0.2-update is just about to release, even though v0.1 was release just 2 months ago.

And on top of that, the visuals are great. The Animations are REALLY well made!

Shit like this is why I constantly have to up my set patreon-budget...

I am giving only 2 stars for the following reasons :

1. All girls ( except the stewardess ) are dressed when supposed to be casual and not only, like porn stars, see scene on street in front of the hairstyle shop, those heels you see only in porn movies. It's like a cheap porn movie where all women are filthy whores. Sandra in her home is wearing shorts and 20cm heels...wtf. But whatever, somebody may like this way...

2. Mc is a real dumbass in relation with Sandra and the secretary, why in earth to accept all conditions from a lawyer you don't know ? Seems like a pussy to me, opposites with the sweet brother ( or you know and we don't know that - see the miltary background and that Mary girl ).

3. Somehow I found those tits really oversized ( Sandra, Linda, Jennifer ), but well...I prefer naturals and well defined.

Good points...well, except the renders can't find any...

Maybe Karabinek will find a way to make this more realistic, not a cheap porn movie scenario.

Many are upset over a first game by the dev(s) or of sounds and every detial of the story..Well the art and animation is the hardest part that alone is worth the cost if it was a game already say in steam or whatever.

Anyways this is brilliant you defend your family's company and patch up feelings with love ones after almost being killed..Very pretty girls and good sex scenes..Im a bi girl even i was wet by playing this beta..Love it keep it up on updates <3
