Ren'Py - Rewind [v0.3.2.4] [Sprinting Cucumber]

TL;DR [unless you absolutely can't handle the art you should probably give this game a try. It has done its own thing pretty well]

This is a review based on a game with a frequently expanding scope, so I won't really be focused too much on current mechanics or specific details as much as my impression of the game as a whole.
The first thing you might notice about the game is its art style. While I'm not really bothered by all the same looking honey select and daz games out there, it is nice to see a game where you can tell that effort has gone into the design of its characters. The other thing you will run into early on in the game is its humor. Obviously not everybody has the same sense of humor, but for me way more of the humor hit than missed.
The game isn't always super obvious about where exactly you should go to progress, but considering you are destined to fail more than once before you succeed in some things, I don't see the harm a game having unguided explorations as long as you aren't forced to find obtuse solutions. (which I never encountered in rewind) While the mechanic isn't a concept unique to this game, I did enjoy its implementation and the writing was built around the concept.

I think the renders are funny with the basic faces.
Overall I like the renders but the gameplay is horrendous at the moment.
It's so grindy that I honestly can't play this game more then 10 min before I delete it again. Instead of having players waste time with with trying to level up their character, perhaps make this more directed. Currently you aren't guided on anything so you just end up clicking randomly for different tasks. With the latest update it actually made it worse by giving you more options to click on. I have been trying to go back and rate games that I have played to save myself or someone else some Mega space. I think this game could still be great, but the overall gameplay needs a complete overhaul in my opinion.

Thanks for the game.

The renders are cute and, and the humorous story is great!
There is currently not much fapping material, but the story and game mecanics are a fun novelty for a first version.

As of now, you can only grind your stats, but the scenes and dialogs are varied enough to keep my interest for at least 40 minutes of gameplay.

I will consider being a Patron, if the story develop during the next 1-2 update.
