VN - Ren'Py - Ripples [v0.7.0 Public] [Jestur]

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especially in lewd scenes, is surprisingly well done, considering the choice of using character models that are deem "outdated" (at least in my opinion) compared with models like BAD.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.

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!

Edit: After playing V0.6.0 with the remake I'm say that it's perfect now. It was worth the waiting.
10/10


This game is one of the best game I have played on this site, if not the best, I love the time travel plot, it makes me interested in the story not only the sexual content, here is my opinion:

Background music (10/10): I really like it, not also that, I like the fact that there is moaning voices during the sex scenes, which gives life to the scene, and also it sounds very hot XD.

Renders and sex animations (1000/10) : the best I have seen till now, even better than "a house in the rift" which is also one of my top 10, I love how the small details are captured during sex scene which makes it very realistic.

Characters (10/10): The characters are gorgeous, each with their interesting personality, and are fun to talk with, Darci is absolutely my cup of tea, I fell in love with her at first sight, and I love her personality. (very cute ＞︿＜)

Story (X /10): can't really decide yet, as the game is still very short, but up till now, I'm very interested in it, as I said before, I love the time travel theme.

Game UI (10/10) : stunning.

Dialogues(9/10): I really enjoyed speaking with the other characters and didn't have to skim read through it, like some other games, the dialogues are funny and keeps you interested, without any nonsense and boring dialogues, but I'm going to give it 9 instead because, of some stupid lines the MC says during sex. XD

Conclusion: this game is on the top of my top 10 games on this site, I highly recommend it.
Game version: 0.4.1 at the time of this review.

I almost stopped playing this game at first. Some of the initial encounters seemed completely unrealistic, with everyone and their grandmothers (yes, literally) throwing themselves at you. I'm so glad I kept playing, though. This game is SO GOOD. The animation is among the best I've ever seen. The characters are all beautiful, well written, and become much more believable shortly after the game's introduction. The story, however, somehow shines even brighter than everything else. Each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, and I can't wait for future updates.

*review for v0.4.1

This game is perfect, I just can't wait for the next updates.
It has everything, amazing story, characters, sound effects, renders, animations, sex scenes, good dialogue that also can be funny at times. I really can't find much wrong with this game, definitely top 3 on this site.

This game is nearly perfect for me. The animations, girls and setting is amazing quality. Hoping the quality continues. Sad the updates for this are a bit slow but I guess that's the trade you get for quality.

Really amazing game you want to know the sequel every time the story is well developed but does not take too much space.
Such a funny passage, this game is complete and lets the player make a lot of choices that you can regret or not, which gives some bite when you have to make some choices.
Very erotic scenes and well detailed characters that we end up getting attached to, as much by the story as by their design.
The scenes allow us to enter even better into the skin of the hero and the shots in 1st person and 3rd person make the scenes even more impregnating.
Very good animation worthy of Hollywood.
I never thought I would like a game of this type so much, but there is a lot of work and it deserves to be seen!

I usually don't rate VNs, just feels a bit unfair IMHO

That said, Ripples is extraordinary! The animations of the scenes, the emotions, and the relationships are up there with the major studios that publish VNs. I binged this in a day and can't wait for more!

Keep up the amazing work!

Excellent game man! I played it for porn but I stayed and keep playing for the story. I heard you were out because of some surgery you have to take. Wish you fast recovery and even better health than before. Can't really wait for the next updates I'm losing sleep. Well, waiting would only make it sweeter to play when the time comes. Good luck with the game! Godspeed!

I really like where this story is going. As of now (4.1) there are plenty of hints that suggest an incredibly messy future that would nonetheless be pretty hot. That is all still up in the air though, and I don't want to review based on what is unknown.

Here is what is known: the plot is fun, there is an interesting mystery, there are sexy LIs. Relationships seem mostly natural rather than forced/shoehorned, although as the plot is progressing there are story elements that could make it difficult for the developer to keep that up. If the fate/sci-fi elements are able to be handled as gracefully as I hope, this could very well become a favorite for me.

This was good. A few hiccups, I think this protagonist model is overused, and the dialog gets loooong every once in a while, but overall, one of the few I've put on my watch list to see how future updates will go.

The animations are really really great. The characters are well devined. I hope that there will be many updates, and quickly to.

10/10 would recomend you to play. And now I need to fill this to get to 200

Best game that i've ever played in terms of storylines, getting tired with so many fuckfest games nowdays, i recommended it to anyone if you are seeking a good game with nice renders and awesome plots.

Production values: unparalleled in the genre
Women: unbelievably hot, even if I'm not aroused by this anime style
Writing: hilarious and intelligent, with only a few typos (besides the dev not knowing when to use "who" instead of "that")
Characters: extremely enjoyable, particularly Darci

However, after four episodes and almost two years the narrative and the production values are beginning to massively overtake the erotic content. Episode 3 part 2 is just one endless animation after another, and while I don't want to take away from the fact they are amazing, it's pretty obvious everything else with the game is falling apart. I mean I only saw the mother naked for a brief moment and there hasn't been anything erotic with the sister. And this is in about six hours of game time.

Slow erotic burn is fine sometimes, but the cracks are really getting exposed with E3P2. The story is neat but it's not neat enough that it should supersede the fact this is an AVN. Playing the last hour just kept reinforcing my sneaking suspicion that this is going to turn into an endless Patreon cocktease while the dev makes more and more elaborate animations.

It's worth the time, for now, but as the minutes pass expect way less porn and way more barely-average and not-particularly-interesting time traveling.

This game is really something else, the Ripples in it's name is very fitting, it has so many choice that feels like it really mattered, I really hope that in the end it does actually matter and doesn't end in the feel part

I am more of a Story First > Bang Later guy. I know its AVN but lets be real, as times pass by just having tons of sex no longer has appeal if story sucks.

Ripples has interesting story and lots of sex so it should be fine right? well NO. Sex feels very cheap. way setting is set it should feel special but unfortunately it does not.. Its almost parody of every bad Porn Movies..
