Ren'Py - RomCom: Divergence [0.1.0.0p] [Haptales]

Insteresting concept and nice twist in the prologue. It seems like the game is going for some kind of parody of the whole romcom harem games and, althought I find that a good start for the story, I hope the characters don't become two dimantional just for the sake of the bit. It might be kind of hard to be invested in any character if the games continue with fourth wall breaks all of the time. As it stands right now, I'm actually more interested in the "Me" from the prologue and if his story will go anywhere after this, than the "player MC" and his the whole harem conquest, but i digress.

Anyway, the game has a lot of potential, the characters desings are really nice and the writting is good (althought there were a few spelling mistakes, but I'm not someone to judge, not even being native english speaker. Lol).

Hoping for the best for the dev and the project.

Another clear LiL inspired game but not bad for it.

It's got a distinct different tone to it, and it looks to be far more... I'll say simple and to the point with being a porn game. But that's not a bad thing either. There's a dozen Lil-like games with in depth character development and dozens of LI's whose slower burn mean that there's barely any actual sex scenes between all those games for the time spent on them.

The existential horror with "me" was a nice moment, though personally that level of fourth-wall breaking to reveal the whole 'reality' I'm trying to get invested in is fake even from an in-story perspective tends to rub me the wrong way. Others may like it though, so it's a matter of taste.

There's more than a few english errors here and there but it's nothing worth getting up in arms about. If the game becomes more successful though the developer might want to consider getting a beta-reader for their script just for a second pair of eyes to smooth things out.

I will say though: I was actually more invested in "Me's" story and emotional turmoil than I was for the twist. The premise of an emotionally damaged boy in a dark but realistic helpless situation seeking revenge/freedom (through porn antics of course) was very easy to get invested into. But I suppose that's also a matter of taste.

The dev has a certain idea of what they want from the game and that idea doesn't look like it's a bad thing.

It'll be interesting to see a "Hot burn" Lil-style game come to fruition.
