Ren'Py - Completed - Room for Rent [v16 beta] [CeLaVie Group]

Grindy Af , boring gameplay, vapid characters , pervy old man lures young girls into rapey situations - it's beyond cringey.
The women have dead soulless eyes , which adds even more to this game's creepiness , after 10 mins i simply had to delete it.
Not even Hugh Hefner would enjoy this "game" if you could call it that, but he's in the afterlife and im sure hes having a much better time than the rest of us earthbound humans.

Early versions felt a bit clunky but since v7 i can really enjoy the Game! it`s basically a erotic puzzle game. The progression in rather small steps builds a interesting atmosphere, you have to think a bit about your next step, what i quite enjoy.

Without the mod by Night train this isn't a game but a wack-a-mole gambling game so as to waste hours, days, weeks, months of your time.

With the mod you can see that doing the right action at the right time for several times will progress the 'story' ever so slightly. You also see that doing the wrong action can set you back the better part of an in game week.
In other words, without the mod you have no clue what you're doing and if the story isn't progressing because you hit a bug, weren't patient enough in trying a certain action not enough times or that you were doing the wrong action altogether.

2/5 and that's being generous.

The backdrops aren't original. The overal graphics of the girls are 'meh'.
The characters don't really have character that stand out nor are believable.
They study medicine, are weary of creepy old men but within weeks are prancing around nude and having sex with him and each other. Heck I've seen early 70's porn shorts with more believable story lines.

This is the grindiest game that I've ever played; be prepared to repeat the same scenes and dialogue for hours before things actually progress. The walkthrough is a freaking Excel spreadsheet stretching into months, and you play each day by the hour, if that's any indication of how bad the grind is in this game.

The creepy old man MC is a real turn off as well. Sure, the dev gave him a slight makover in a later update, but he's still not what I would consider attractive to look at.

takes too long to progress, and that's with playing multiple hours for 3 days straight with the walkthrough.

It gets so tedious that at a certain point you're just replaying the same blowjob scene for 5 days in a row with each day she goes a little deeper before saying 'I can't do anymore'.

At first the developments were exciting, like amy deciding to be more open with clothing/hugging/kissing, but these get so boring by the time any other meaningful development happens in the relatioship.

I applaud the commitment to having a new panel every time someone talks, but this is sometimes lazily done. The panels don't match up with what the character is saying, it looks like each panel for a specific scene was just thrown in a random order rather than intelligently.

Hate to be so judgmental but I'd say unless you rly find the girls attractive (and they get boring quickly with how slow it progresses) this game is not worth your time.

Good story. Impressive artwork. The girls are especially pretty, and good frequent changes by them to wearing gradually sexier, more revealing outfits. I played V11 of this game for many hours and not much was happening. IN frustration I gave up around day 50. I have been playing the new V12Beta from the start. Its much better. Events happened faster and I reached the same point as I did in V11 (with extra events I missed before) after only 30 days. I am upgrading my rating again to 4 stars for V12Beta.

It took me 3 days to go from start to v.11 ending.

At the beginning it was not easy to understand how to move, and above all the contribution of "pleasant" images was scarce.
However, going forward, I liked the operation of the game and indeed it was pleasant to discover new scenarios and I was surprised by the appearance of new characters with an increasingly more interesting background story.

What I didn't like at the beginning was also the scene development system, which for a 10-image event gives you 5 basic and then for 5 times you have to continue the event to complete the whole scene. I appreciated it later.

Now the problem is "too much meat on the fire".
The new contents lead you to have many interactions with new characters without however giving you interesting or concrete scenes. I hope the new updates focus more on at least 2/3 characters.
The main interest now is the evolution of the theft situation: I hope there is content focused on the sisters, that maybe the girls can be "punished" in some way by our "old hero".

After playing this game from about v 2 or so figured I should rate it. It is almost a five. The graphics are good but somehow lacking complete clarity. That and it has now turned into a sex fest keep it as a 4. The addition of some criminal activity, possibly murder, seems a little out of place with the story so far. Didn't see it coming. Dev did warn us that starting with around v 9.0 he was upping the amount of sex. Playing this game w/o the W/T mod is almost impossible in my opinion. The W/T written by a patron is frustrating for me because the day of the week doesn't match my day of the week so I just use the mod. In fact the patreon W/T isn't really a W/T. It's just a list of the events.

I think that overall this game is well worth playing by using the mod to avoid the grind.

I love this game! The progression is simply awesome. It's content-rich to boot too! This game could easily deserve a 5/5, but...

I think that how events can be accessed is tedious. It's a game of seeking, and at times can be very frustrating and time-consuming. Not knowing how exactly to trigger an event.

Thus, I have been using the WT-mod and it has been a godsent.

So, I propose to implementing that system, or a similar one as it works so well, that I absolutely love it. It enhances the game-play, making me enjoy this lovely game even more.

TLDR: When playing this game (v11.0 as of writing this), use the WT-mod. Then it's a 5/5.

I don’t get the hype of extremely poor game. The mechanics itself is horrendous, as well as the gameplay. There really isn’t a story just a old guy trying to get laid, which makes you do repetitive things over and over again. The models are mediocre and average, some with physiques of 13 year old boys. Waste of time. 2/5 stars.

good story. i like the progression.
Interesting scenes.
characters style is different ( for better or worse).
recommendation: GET THE MODS
the in game hint button is pretty meh, I was stuck and It told me to keep playing, then i just downloaded a mod and apparently i had to do some dumb and over complicated action of saying no then going someplace....
4 stars because:
1.if you get stuck, game doesnt provides an answer and you need a mod its pretty bad....
2.game crashed when i entered one of the scenes.
3.an indicator would be nice. it was kinda annoying going to a place and finding out there was nothing there.

I really like the game! 5 stars for me.I complicated at the beginnig, but with the walkthrught mod is much more easy and enjoiable!
Waiting for V11
Hint: F1 to save
I like to save daily so I can always came back and correct my mistakes....

Bye

There's definitely something fucky in chapter 7, even following the walkthrough line by line event 19 and 42 don't trigger. Got the drone delivered but midnight event never showed up. Ended up using someone's v.70 complete save to skip the last ~8 events.

Amy stops decaying past 150 so there's no point in doing the cleaning events to maintain it.

Grind is pretty obnoxious, have to go through 2 sets of grope sequences in morning and afternoon for the girls that can't be skipped no matter what, started fastforwarding pretty quickly. The blowjob sequence is pretty stupid too, licks a bit one day then licks a bit more then sucks a bit more, repeat x 20, and that's even with the mod telling me where to go.

Also latest chapters spread the game even more thin. Lost focus of the core 3 renters and threw up a 10 piece harem that showcases a couple of photoshoots each but not too interesting. I got invested in Amy over the first 6 chapters and it sucks that she's basically done in the last 4.

Nice renders, story's paper thin, characters are very much 2d. Probably doesn't need to have 9k images for like 500 events total but I get that's what sells.

seriously you play hour by hour and the progress is nothing than girl lick dick 1 time per day.
so stupid and slow.
also script where girl believes that it helps her education is just dumb, where she is from another dimension? or she just has a brain as 5 todler?

Updated 7-7-20, v12.0

I understand that the dev wants the game to be challenging when it comes to progressing and unlocking scenes, but this is taken to the extreme. You are given very little to no hints as to how to progress. I had to refer to this thread and the WT or I had to randomly click around a number of times in order to find the missing event.

Other than that, the story is decent enough once you get past the misspellings and bad grammar. The renders are okay, as are the character models, and there's a decent amount of content.

I do appreciate the challenge, as the game would be boring otherwise, but perhaps a better hint system should be considered by the dev. (Some hints were available in the office early on, but after you progress far enough they just stop. Which is really stupid.) As it stands right now, the only way to make it through the game without spending hours clicking around to progress is by using the walkthrough mod.

If you're going to play this game, the walkthrough mod is an absolute must. You'll be lost and frustrated without it.

Decent renders and lovely characters, quite the grind but it makes the rewards so much better. Sadly the ingame walktrough is only for patrons. Some parts could use a visual overhaul, but that's nitpicking. Looking forward to new releases.

really too much grinding (hopefully there an option later in the game to reduce this problem), but except that, really great game, nice models. waiting for the final version, before that i just hope that we could start a new game with some level already made.

Girls are very nicely made, but the grind to get far is a too much. Events only trigger when you visit a certain area at a specific time, it takes a long time before finding the specific action you need to trigger
Plus theres not really any animations its just watching pictures progress

Sorry, done with #GrindFest2020. Old saves return to Main Menu. Too long to get anywhere, definitely not worth 40 hours to peak a nipple!
This drags more than a dead hooker at a Hollywood Orgy in the summer of 1976, you know the one, with those guys and that dame!!!

This is not a game, this is just not fun.
Clicking and clicking after clicking and clicking and hopefully you found that one place at the right time to get the next scene with a little bit more flavor text.
Uplayable without a walkthrough and even with one there are scenes missing sometimes and you can't progress and don't know what is missing. Of course it still takes hours to get something done.
Only the girls look good and that's it. The scenes are boring and that extremely slow pace doesn't help it.
