    Very nice animations, good story, good characters, and interesting setting. The story goes to places many games have tried but failed at, this one succeeds. I recommend without reservations, and I hope it'll be succesful enough to be completed by the dev.

    Pretty nice dialogues and expresions of the char, i fckng hate when the char have souless eyes or creepy expressions that destroys the story,
    And think that every player that put their hands in the game can say that the devlp apreciate the game

    Storyline is great. Sets & scenery are great. Lighting & posing are great. Animation & renders are great.

    The only flaw I can find with the game is the models. They all look exactly the same, but for their outfits and hairstyles. So much so, that if I don't look at the name labels, I get confused who the character is. If the models were given the same amount of detail as the rest of the game, I'd give it 5 star rating.

    I really loved the humor and story line almost as much as the girls and the sex. The choices affect the long game and the chance to have sex with the girls, but somewhere down the road thing might get a little complicated. Out of all the games I've played, this the only one I've ever supported, just because I want to know how it concludes and I've watched the developer actual keep schedule and promises.

    The best VN I've played through in more than 4 years, hands down the best.
    There's a characteristic to every character's dialogue which feel real and the plot is amazing and the animations and visuals are lovely. Excited to see how it goes forward, and I hope the updates are frequent with good content in the future as well. Kudos!

    You love time travel. The pretty girls and a bit of madness. This game is made for you.
    Nice and smooth animations. A story where we wonder if our actions will have consequences on the present time or if all this is premeditated from the beginning.
    A game that deserves to be discovered.

    I have to be honest, the first picture of this game (the girl with the banana in her mouth) made me think it was a very experimental game, which I am not into.

    But given the high rating and the description of the game, I gave it a chance. The game (ep1 remastered) has surprised me in the positive sense. The characters in the game look good and the story is interesting. It doesn't go as in-depth as other games but in-depth enough so that it doesn't become boring. The characters in the game itself are very interesting, unique personalities which is very important in my opinion. The animations are also very good. All in all, I cannot give it less than five stars.

    I downloaded this completely on a whim and I think it's a top 3 game for me, I love the characters! The interactions with Darci are awesome, the Jam text exchange cracked me right up. The story is engaging and a lot of the girls are super hot, there's a bunch of great sex scenes. Oh man, I can't wait to see what happens next!

    (Note: this review is for version 0.4, and is subject to change in the full release)

    (Edit: 08/30/2022. Just rewrote some stuff in the 3rd-4th paragraph)

    I mean, it's a good VN. Story has promise, CGs are good, art direction has enough distinct style going for it that makes it stand out a bit from other Honey Select VNs, and the girls are lovely (with two awesome standouts: Darci and Skylar, both of which are now on my list of "girls that I wished existed IRL because I genuinely want to hang out with them")...

    With that said you might be wondering: "why the 4 stars then?"

    Well...technical issues, for one. Sometimes animations are choppy, sometimes they're smooth. Most of the animations in the Episode 1 Remaster are fine (save for that one post-coitus animation with Krystal), but after that...yeah, it's all over the place.

    And then there's the issue where I feel this VN is one of those adult VNs where the porn has become detrimental to the plot.

    Weird thing to say, I know, considering the game's story and how the porn is kinda crucial to it but…hear me out.

    I know it's kind of common for porn games to have a sort of logic where mundane scenarios suddenly become avenues for sexual situations...but here, porn logic is just so strong that it comes off unnatural at times, like I'm going through a scene and I go "oh, okay, we're getting somewhe-wait, what's that? You...want to bang here? Now? But...can't we do that after...right, okay fine."

    It got so bad that there were moments where I found myself skipping scenes because I just want the game to go back to the main plot instead.

    Another issue that exacerbates things is that, aside from Skylar, Darci, Jenny, Scarlett, and the Mysterious Masked Guy...none of the characters feel like actual people. That is, they feel more like walking tropes than actual people, with some written just so that can get entangled in spicy situations with Jack (MC). Granted, the first four girls I've mentioned also have the same issues but...at the very least there's more to them than just a love interest that wants to jump on Jack (heh) the first chance they get.

    All of my criticisms aside...yeah, if you can get past the issues, this is a promising VN, and I'm interested to see where this yarn goes from here.

    Ripples [Ep. 1 Remaster Beta] review

    What it is:
    A mostly linear VN with a nice story, memorable characters and hot as fuck scenes.

    I enjoyed this immensely.

    I mean holy shit. This game has been reviewed 157 times already and almost all of them are 5 star reviews. The masses have spoken and this time they're definitely right.

    I don't feel the need to make a long detailed review about this project because if you're wondering whether or not you should play this, my simple answer to you would be yes you should. Definitely yes.

    If any of the VN's tags appeal to you, or if you enjoy loooking at gorgeous (and plenty dirty) renders and animations then download and try this game right now.

    The only people I wouldn't recommend this game to are those of you out there who must have chunky milfs with ridiculous cup sizes in your VN's to get off. Or if what you're after is a slow-burn romance story with lots of hand holding and long walks on the beach. This VN is less sugar sweet and more adult tasting, if you catch my drift. But even then, if you're one of those people you might still enjoy Ripples just for the story.

    About the story:
    There's time travel and shit. And there's a sneaking suspicion that you might be the father of one of your love interests.
    It's a porny version of Back to the Future, and it definitely works.
    I appreciate being given the opportunity to play as an unapologetic horndog. I've played so many games where I'm forced to play white knight, or spineless door mat that when I get the option to go dark side butt pirate, I will. The game doesn't often reward this kind of behavior, but there's some scenes in here you can reach by going this path that are just hottness incarnate. If you're into that kind of stuff. And even if you aren't, there's probably something in here that you will find hot as fuck. It caters to a wide audience. (Check the tags)
    All in all, it's quality stuff!

    All right, I don't feel the need to go on. This is a super clean 5. Do yourself a favor and try it if you haven't.

    It is a nice game with a quite interesting story (I really like the paradoxes in stories) and good visuals. I recommend it 100%. I have played version 0.4.1 and I haven't noticed any bugs or any performance issues (playing on an old laptop with 950GTX)

    Great game! At first I didn`t know what to expect, but once you start playing it has a great story with a smooth pace, likeable and relatable characters, and overall a very warming and enjoyable atmosphere. You will be left wanting more. Thank you to the creator and hope they can continue.

    Totally worth a play through. Great visuals with an engaging story line, and a humor that I mostly get.
    Love that this VN doesn't sole focus on one breast type but has a happy variety of very petite to buxom, something for all of us.
    I was engaged for far to many hours at once with this title and I look forward to more!

    A must play

    good story, great animations fun dialogue and characters bish bash bosh Percfect, well needs more cunnies but I will forgive this transgression

    Certainly very very good. Incest time travel? BRILLIANT. Honestly more games need time travel. I mean come on going back in time to bang your mom? Brilliant. Imagine marty mcfly going back in time banging his hot mom? Then he becomes a monster because he is his own dad. Kind of like that ethan hawke movie oops spoilers

    Anyways must play game. Cute girls, milfs its got it all. Incest too This is the bees knees for sure. Cant wait to see it finished.

    Currently played v0.41, my review will change based on future updates.

    I'm always fascinated by the concept of "messing with time" (whether it be time travel or time loop), and Ripples certainly offers me a pleasant surprise. If you have watched the German TV show "DARK" on Netflix, you will find that the game is obviously inspired by this (MC mentioning the town called Winden, the similarities of story plot...), and so far it has treated this concept of time travel pretty well to the point that I would rather see more stories than lewd scenes.
    Speaking of the game itself: character arcs are very well crafted which makes you care every girls you've met. I still don't know how the developer will balance between multiple paths (especially harem paths since we are literally messing with girls from past to present days), but I have good faith about that. The animation, especially in lewd scenes, is surprisingly well done, considering the choice of using character models that are deem "outdated" (at least in my opinion) compared with models like BAD. Music and sound effects are also used properly.
    The only worry I would have will be how to balance the interaction between different girls in future episodes: In modern times we have

    , and in the past we have

    . The number of girls is quite gigantic in my opinion and I've already seen the developer might have hard time balancing, such as keeping

    out for the moment. But we will see more of that in the future and as I say I have good faith that things will work out eventually.
    Overall, amazing game with unique concept and engaging story, couldn't recommend more.

    Prozionite

    Ripples is a time travel mystery with some of the best sex scenes out there, and a plot that somehow overshadows them. There are several points where I noticed things in the background or had theories in my head as to what's really going on, even with how high quality the sex scenes are, I found myself wanting the game to get back to the actual plot because I was so eager to find out more about the world and its characters.

    And the sex scenes really are high quality! Probably the best showcase of Honey Select models and animations that I've seen on this site. The models and animations are well executed, the jiggle physics are sexy instead of silly, no clipping issues (your dick actually opens up the pussy rather than just phasing into it!). This is on top of actual physics for the clit and labia during cunnilingus, something I'm not sure I've ever seen so well done (though the clit does act too much like a joystick). There are also sound effects during sexual scenes that enhance them greatly.

    The large cast of characters as well as the overarching plot mean that this game doesn't have the time to slowly build up relationships with the girls. The dialogue and characterization are still excellent but things will usually get physical within a few interactions with any given character. I usually prefer slow burn type stories but all other aspects of this game are so good that I don't even mind it, I'd probably want to play it even if it didn't have any sexual content.

    Engaging storyline. Models are gorgeous and the animations are fantastic. I am through Chapter 3 so far and am really loving this VN!!

    My hope is that the dev will finish out the story without getting bored and making it feel rushed as time-travel plots can become very complicated. I'm looking forward to see what else the dev comes up with with subsequent releases for this title and hopefully other future projects.

    One of the funniest games I've played. Really love to see a game with distinct and interesting character. This game certainly has strong anime vibes as well, but it handles all the tropes well. No complaints for it's style or story, although I think the plot moves a bit too slowly in chapters 3 and 4 on account of so many characters being introduced so quickly at the beginning.

    The character models are really well done and the animations are phenomenal. Despite that, I got weirded out by the look of Darcie. She's a bit too small and girlish, but the main thing is the paleness and lack of features for her face and hair. Although, I admit it actually makes her so much more comical, but she really looks like an alien in the first few chapters.

    Wow, this game gives "Once in a Lifetime "a run for it's money, and that is one of my favorites. Thanks to the "13 games" for recommending it. I usually pass over games early in development, but there is enough content here already for a few solid hours(4 episodes for now).

    Girl models are solid ,you have variety of types and looks, no one girl feels like a clone . Animations are also adjusted, so you rarely notice stock HS animations over the creative camera angles and some custom movements.
    That coupled with decent writing, relationship build-up and some taboo themes make for some pretty hot sex scenes .

    MC doesn't have much color yet, he's just usual thick-skinned(apparently majority of girls around him were crushing on him, and he only now started to notice) handsome dude with big dick. But I except some character growth due to all the time-travel shenanigans.

    So far nothing serious in the main plot, you don't have any bad consequences or major decisions, like Butterfly Effect , but actors are in place , and signs are there, so I'm hopeful

    For now, I can safely recommend this to any fans of harem genre.

    This review is my small part of showing dev some love, wish you successfull project completion!
