Flash - Abandoned - Room to Rent [v0.8.4r full] [NERDWORKS]

Remove all the needless clicking mini games and concentrate on the story and it wouldn't be half bad.

I like the models, the settings, the concept of the story but those mind numbing point and click 130 times on this particular spot or that particular spot is just for the dogs.

Painting ceilings, putting up wall paper, bringing up furniture, etc..
I guess we should be glad that we aren't asked to watch the paint dry.

I don't know if this is a troll job posing as a game but it's hands down the worst game I've ever played bar none. Nudity/sex couldn't even save this from the hubris of it's own creator. He/she/they/it? takes simulation to otherworldly levels of autism the likes of which the world has never seen.

Long and boring minigames. It just makes the game very boring and frustrating. They do not add anything to the plot or enhance the in-game experience.
In addition, the handling of the mouse has to be very precise, it is very easy to get stuck in the minigames and this causes you to have to move and click the mouse randomly throughout the screen in search of luck.

Unplayable waste of time. Truly, truly awful. Unless you are some sort of OCD overload (and fair play if you are, I'm not judging) you will not enjoy this. In fact I will go as far as saying you will hate it. Here is a quick peek into what you can look forward to. In the first few minutes you'll get to click on un-highligted blank areas of scenery to progress. Then you get quizzed at mutiple levels on information you learned earlier, with a mutiple choice of 10 or more responses. A bit more random scenery clicking. Once you eventually get through all that you get to decorate your room. If your fetish is decorating then you'll love the extended and intricate ceiling painting minigame where you paint the ceiling in four separate scenes. Each scene you get to click the mouse in two, or sometimes 3 separate areas to move the paint roller. You get to do that maybe half a dozen times for each scene.

It is truly tedious and fiddly. Just pointless padding to make 3 minutes of gameplay take 20 minutes. I've quit and deleted before I've even finished painting the ceiling and I gather the awesome task of wallpapering was going to be even worse...

This ones a difficult one to review.
TLDR: Good artwork, story. Lots of grinding.

Gameplay
Let me begin with the elephant in the room. The grinding. While I understand they wanted to introduce game play elements, rather than having it be a simple VN, I feel they did it in entirely the wrong way. I was damn tempted to stop several times throughout, and is the reason it is only 4 stars (almost bad enough to be 3 stars, but they did include a cheat button which helps somewhat).

Story
The story is interesting, if a bit standard. The guy seems overly pushy, and christ the family is conservative. There's enough uniqueness in it to be interesting, and the family is rather believable, although they adapt to the main character rather quickly. The english is understandable, but quite obviously not a fluent speaker. It needs some proofreading.

Artwork
The mum looks a bit meh, but I'm not into milfs so not the best judge here. The quality of the renders is rather high, though the resolution isn't the best (between 720 and 1080).
I think the girl is rather cute, and is certainly my favourite character. One of the better girls from the games I've played.

Pluses:
Pubic Hair. While plenty of girls in real life shave, virgins and sexually repressed milfs don't. It adds an extra element of realism.
Tit size. These girls have realistic tit sizes, the mums is slightly larger than average, and the daughter has small tits which fit her figure fairly well. In real life, people (without surgery) don't have tits bigger than their heads.

This is one of the games that can actually be called Absolute garbage. Very Amateur, and grindy story/game with really nothing to the story/game as a whole. Graphics and animations are poor, the story is poor and is not interesting at all. A really piss poor attempt at a story/game, one to be avoided, not worth wasting time on it.

I am going to repeat what I already said before:
"This is one of those hidden gems.
There's an interesting puzzle/escape room component in the game. It requires a bit of patience and thinking, specially in the beginning to explore the game mechanics. Remodeling the room for instance can leave some (lazier) players complaining and unwilling to continue. I have seen this in this thread.
It's a simple story (so far) with nice assets used. I like the characters and I am very curious to know how things will develop in it."

Nice game and nice girl.
Want to know how far MC will corrupt them

at least some sort of mini games are quite long and boring and no interest for the story (put wallpaper, plug the PC....)
I think they could be shorter

Very good C Gs and the game is a bit tiring but enjoyable if you get the hang of it. The setting very realistic and detailed. Definitely worth your time. As the game is still under development it lacks the "sexy bits" but I hope it will be a game different and worthwhile after a few updates. Lets hope the dev will put more content soon.

One of the most intriguing games around here, i would say almost brilliant in its very own way, Yet, a fair warning, this is not a game for everyone. Those looking for a quick&easy fap should stick (assuming they already dropped porn-hub for whatever reasons) to kns, vns or linear rpgms.

Uneccesarily tedious. Forces you to remember useless information within the first 2 minutes of the game. Really doesn't have any sort of sensible UI or the way it plays. Always having to hunt for something to click on.

A very good game. Don't really know why people complain about the grind. There are way grindier games out there like the similar named "room for rent" which I consider to be very grindy. At least here you have some puzzles to solve
And if you need help there is in-game help or this thread which has all the solutions to the puzzles. Just use the search function.

Too much clicking, not enough sexual content to warrant the amount of time you do tedious bullshit. Easily the worst game I have played on this site. Don't even bother, it is a complete waste of time.

The gameplay is a bit boring sometimes (more puzzles than I would like to solve), but the graphic is incredible, and the story is excellent! So, during the playing this game I hate it sometimes But after to the end of the chapter (5 or 6) I definitely want more!

the game is interesting but sometimes saves dont work in loading and coming back or rewind would help better saving is important as some of us dont have direct hours of playing time. graphics are smooth but at times some help would be nice

Terrible decorating simulator, nothing but a grind that if you get wrong you have to repeat. I'm well over an hour in may be closer to 2 and nothing has happened. Its just been redecorating and unpacking and building furniture. Seriously I feel like this is just a troll game I be the dev is laughing his ass off.

Besides the mini-games wich can be quite annoying at times the game is great, nice story, nice renders.
If you can see beyond the mini-games its Better then most games around, i really enjoyed it and i recommend playing if you have the patience.

This game could have so much potential, but man, what horrible annoying minigames. What is it, a move in simulater? What was on the devs mind? How can u fap on this? Absolute garbage, ... as I said, the plot and the renders could have had so much potential, what a waste...

I really like the game. The attention to detail is actually really well made. Stuff like the sun slowly setting or how the nightvision coming in once you turn of the light in your rooms is soo clever. Sure, the engine itself and the fact it's in some run down part of a city in Russia kind of gives off the vibe of a budget game but to be fair to the creator, this is one of the most thought out adult games I've played. Characters have depth, the mini games make sense and are sort of educational in a way. There's probably a bit more to setting up wall paper or floor but the steps included gives you a rough idea what it's like and completing them gives you a sense of fulfillment. I really enjoy it.

What I think could be done better would be the mini games though. Give people the option of an "easy" playthrough there minigames like the wallpaper only has to be done once or not at all or maybe just give a skip option at every minigame.
Another thing would be clearer instructions as in what to do next. I'd suggest another engine to run the game in but it's notbe possible to make the mini games as elaborate I assume so could be a problem. Maybe just highlight the interactable with something glow effect.

i'm a big fan of point & click adventure games , so reading its description, i got curious as to what this game had to offer.. first of all, except the fifth (the latest) episode, it doesn't feel or play like a classic P&C adventure at all. all the meaningless, tedious housework you have to complete to progress the story is nothing but a shitload of chores. those are not puzzles you'd be satisfied to have solved using your brain. games are meant to be fun, even if they are difficult one way or another, this is not fun. if i wanted to do boring chores, i'd do them in real life to actually help someone or deal with something.

the second issue is, you only get to see a few vanilla scenes for hours of fucking grind. the mother is plain ugly, looks like a transvestite and the daughter is not exactly prettier than the bald MC either. one redeeming quality of the game is it's background visuals. the outdated, outworn building, the cramped apartment interior and the surrounding empty streets do create the right atmosphere for this story. there's the hint system, that helps with the general mess. additionally, the fifth episode is a turn in the right direction (though the modem routing thing for example was still unnecessarily tedious), so i'll give this two stars, hoping to increase it in the future if the game actually becomes a proper adult P&C adventure, preferrably with more female characters, and finally fun to play.
