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

  1. 5.00 star(s)

    TM | Twisted Games

    I love a VN with good writing, an intriguing plot, compelling characters, and a solid quantity of extremely hot H scenes that keep building and teasing at even better yet to come.

    Ripples checks off all of these boxes.

    To discuss one aspect of the plot, I may have to include what could be considered SPOILERS, so just fyi, some may be below:



    My one hope for this game is that it continues to spend most of it's time in 'present day.' Stories with time travel can sometimes overuse it, and if this means long stretches of time without the characters the reader is most invested in, it can be a detriment.

    I see no evidence that this will be a problem for this game, or that the dev couldn't pull it off, their writing has been top notch so far, but it's really the only nitpick I could come up with, so I thought I'd mention it.

    At any rate, kudos to the dev, I strongly recommend people support this project.

    Ep.3 Part 2 v0.3.6 Public

    Fantastic animations. Just head and shoulders above all the other VNs I've played in that regard. On top of that it has an interesting premise and great characters. The writing can be a bit uneven sometimes but overall it's pretty solid. A new favorite.

    To be honest, this is probably the first VN I've ever played and I went in with no expectations whatsoever. But damn, the story got me intrigued. The visuals and animations are pretty good so I'd say it's a good combination.

    I've gone on to play other VNs, some with better renders but so-so stories and vice versa but Ripples is one that I'll be waiting to complete. Go give it a try!

    What a fantastic game so far. It's not a realistic game in terms of drawing out sexual tension and encounters, but it has enough fun and heart to make it engaging.

    The characters do feel unique and bring a lovely flare to the game. I can see this being one of the better ones simply by how beautiful the girls are and how well done the sex scene are.

    Hard to say how this game will eventually pan out, but I can say the tone is generally upbeat and pleasant so far. Drama has been added, but I don't know how that will play out.

    Really, a fantastic VN with a lot going for it.
    - Many beautiful models
    - Characters with depth and variety
    - Amazing animations, some of the best I've seen in a VN
    - Interesting, complicated story
    - Personable, interactive dev with an active Discord community.

    All in all, this game is one of the best and promises many twists, turns, and lewds in the future. Well deserving of the high rating, I'm really looking forward to what Jestur has in store for us.

    One of the best games on this site. I know that people say that about lots of games but this REALLY is one of them.

    Interesting and unique story, great looking girls, animations that puts most games on this site to shame and great writing. You really need to play this game!

    Fantastic sci-fi game with great humour, well-written characters, and an engaging story. One of my favourite games so far. I really hope the dev is able to finish this as every update can't come soon enough!

    A VN with good animations, a interesting story, and cute girls. The story and the game itself start a little bit slow, but I got pretty engaged after a while. I feel like the main flaw at the moment is that the choices throughout the game are mostly just do or do not fuck X girl with very few consequences whether you do or don't. That said, the game is still in its early stages so it's possible that the consequences for decisions just haven't come up yet.

    Honestly, the animations and story are good enough that I'm willing to look past more flaws than what the game has. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens. In some ways, I feel like the number of sex sequences in the game kinda detract from the story a bit, though that's in part that I worry that the MC has bitten off more girls than he can chew.

    Rated against Ep 3 Part 2 v0.3.6.

    This really should be 4 stars, it has issues but truth be told they're so minor I feel to mark it down for them is a bit of a disservice to the dev. And overall I found myself excited to play it.... na, it's a 5.

    The graphics are great, the effort has been put into the animations and the cast is varied. The plot is there and plodding along but it's not in your face about it. It exists, it's kinda pulling you along but overall you're left to smell the flowers as you do it.

    Funnily enough the light touch plot is probably the cause of the he only issue I have with the game and that's the somewhat sudden shift in tone occasionally. This isn't simply a get your dick wet simulator, the dev is taking the time to lay out a story. And truth be told it's kinda good. It's the right side of weird/confusing. Not enough that you're mad clicking to get to the next sex scene, but enough to make you go "damn ok, right so what's happening now?". And that's a hard thing to pull off (heh). You could argue that the plot is a bit cliche as there's a handful of games I can think of which use a similar underlying trope but nothing wrong with a bit of tried and tested. The issue with tone is that the underlying story is a bit dark truth be told, it's a mystery to solve and there's a lot of pieces to the puzzle you don't know but scenes which are more plot heavy coming so soon after a few scenes where the MC is fooling around with some women can be a bit jarring.

    There is a LOT of sex in this game. The game has the issue where the MC is basically God's gift to women but he starts the game off as virgin. So for 18 odd years of his life, nothing. Then as soon as the game starts women be banging at the door like World War Z. That... that makes my eyes roll a little but allowances have to be made I suppose. It's a porn game, if the MC wasn't at least attractive then it'd be boring as balls to play. So I think the games starts where you're flirting and fooling around with basically every girl you meet... then the plot kinda grabs you by the throat and suddenly something big happens and the MC has to deal with it. It happens a few times in the three episodes. Good sex scenes, quirky dialogue, some internal musing then BAM grimdank plot or a dream sequence where a guys head is bust open like a melon. Like.... damn son... warn a lad first.

    But damn if it's not engaging. I'm excited for future updates. I played it yesterday and powered through the three episodes and I'm chomping at the big for more. It's definitely worth your time and your money if you can spare it.

    0.3.6
    Summary:
    Your childhood friend(girl) transferred back from an all-girls school to yours and your world suddenly becomes filled with sex, mystery, paranormal, comedy, and more sex.

    Extraordinary aspects of the game:
    The animation of the game is the most refined I have ever seen, the movement of the body is correct, you don’t see any weird collisions that break the illusion, just amazing. The characters every character have their own personality and their own different interests with makes them unique and rememberable in their own way.

    What is good:
    Animations, characters, story, comedy, music, almost everything about the game is good.

    What is bad:
    This one going to sound a little bit weird but I think they’re too many sex scenes, I really would have liked to hang out more with the girls without any sex scenes being involved as their characters are so god damn interesting and funny.

    What can be made better:
    The above.

    My opinion:
    Pretty much the above there is almost nothing bad about this game, the only thing that I want from this game is to play it more. To see what happens with the MC and the characters around him. So yeah it’s a great game and you should play it.

    An interesting story, with a flair of mystery visualised with great animations.
    So to sum it up:
    • As I said before, great animations, clearly a lot of work is put into this
    • An intruiging premise, and for now panning out very well
    • Many different characters with tons of different personalities and body shapes
    • Great humor, although that's very subjective of course

    Some parts that could be seen as negative:
    • Already lots of adult scenes at the beginning, while obviously enjoyable they do make things a bit less credible, then again it's an adult game, so it's not a big deal to me (and I feel it's also a bit toned down in the latest update)
    • Due to the amount of different characters and plotpoints, it's a bit worrisome whether the dev can keep it all untangled and focused, so this might be an issue for the future, but for now it's definitely not a problem
    Either way I'm looking very much forward to future updates of this game and potential other games of this dev.

    Loved the game and can't wait for the next update. As most has said here the animations are really good and they don't fall unto the normal infinite loop unless it's on something that makes sense.

    The music was not too over the top and the story is really good, got me hooked on the sci-fi time travel since it's not all at once.

    I have finished Episode 3 Part 2 and I can confidently say this game as some of the best (if not the best) animations in the entire platform. I've played quite a lot of these games and I've never seen such crystal clear, smooth and beautiful animations before.

    Adding extreme value to the great animations is the absolutely great pacing and choreography of the sex scenes. The text during the scenes is sublime and the order of progression is extremely satisfying.

    I still have some reservations regarding time-travelling, it basically condemns the characters to suffer heart-ache, which makes me wish the Dev could split into two, just so we could have a game with these perfect animations/sex scenes without the condemned plot-line.

    Either way, I still believe there might be some semblance of happiness with to be had with the characters from the present, even if the MC and the characters from the past are doomed for unhappiness.

    This story is so much fun! The various threads of the story play off each other and keep you interested in what will happen next and the characters are entertaining. However none of that matters: the first animation in Episode 3 was so awesome, I would rate this game as 5 stars for that alone.

    Jestur is clearly putting a lot of effort into making a quality product here and deserves recognition for it!

    Don't judge a book by it's cover, this may seem like a higher quality honey select game/novel, but it's much more than that.

    So visually the models are fantastic, they have that honey select vibe yes but they are extremely detailed and it's obvious that the Dev took their in crafting each and every one of them, they feel very life like with a lot of different expressions and they even change up their clothing and style as the game goes on.

    Environments are very well detailed, which is rare in erotic games, each room feels like it's been hand crafted with attention to detail to match the personality of the girl and the protagonist even interacts with the room to get clues on how to interact with the girls and "advance the plot"( in a way that doesn't feel scummy)

    Animation-wise it's truly fantastic, i'm not sure how it works but the animation is way beyond your usual cookie-cutter honey select games, with lots of costume animations, the genitalia is also very detailed as well, again very different from your usual erotic game.


    Story wise it's great, it's so great that I often just want to ignore all the smut and just see where the plot goes next, I won't spoil anything but the plot just starts like your typical "man in the house" scenario and starts to morph into something different, the title of the game should clue you in I suppose.

    Characters the best ones I've seen in any game at all, extremely well written, they are all unique in their own way and they are all fun to watch and engage with, there's a lot of fantastic banter going on especially with Darci(aka bestgirl) and since the MC is not a total dweeb there's lots of funny and interesting back and forth between each characters, and the MC is actually active and not passive with his thoughts and actions which is another thing that is quite different about his game, and I do not mean it only on sexual manners.


    Fetishes are on the kinkier side of vanilla, there's so far no dainty impressionable young virgin girl that the MC corrupts but females that are willing to sexually explore stuff with the MC, which is a serious breath of fresh air if you ask me.

    The amount of content that it has compared to the time it was developed is truly impressive, Developers like this deserve a lot more support than they are getting.

    Give this one of a shot, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
    And if you can't support it on patron please give it a like or review it!

    Excellent game. It has great music and sound effects (why are there so many games without sound at all?!), an interesting story line to follow & the visuals are really mindblowing, especially the animations and short cinematics. The characters have their own personality and just overall the game feels so much smoother then most VNs on the site.

    If you were to judge this game based solely on the screenshots and genre tags, you may pass over this one as just another generic but nice looking game. If you do happen to take the leap and play this game you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

    This is not a generic "click and bang" game where you roll from one house to the next banging all of your neighbors and their mothers, clicking or tapping through endless bland dialogue as the MC makes cringe-worthy comments and the women make endless slurping and mewling noises.

    No.

    What you will find in this game is a nicely paced, interesting, story. When I say story, I mean story. This is not an "MC's Mom moved away and now they have freedom to bang" sort of game. This has a developed, more linear, story with interesting characters who have some proper character development.

    The dialogue is often humorous, it is concise, straight-forward and rarely, if at all, does it make you feel the need to click through to "get to the good part".

    The visuals are outstanding. The renders are beautiful, and the animations even more so. During most of the scene animations there is often actual camera movement like pans, zooms, and tilts which is something I have not seen done so well in any other game and it may surprise you like it did myself. It really is a visually beautiful game.

    If you have been disappointed with most VN games due to poor writing or excessive bland dialogue, as I have, and have been looking for something that has an actual story that progresses in a meaningful way then this may fill that void.

    I highly recommend Ripples and am very much looking forward to the next chapter.
