VN - Ren'Py - RSSU - Retro Style Soviet Undies - Case#1 Ithaca Project [v1.6.5] [ErosAmor]

This game has such an incredibly unique premise, that alone elevates it above almost every game on F95.

The renders, music and overall aesthetic go quite well with the story and even the Engrish (which normally annoys me to no end) actually ends up serving the narrative.

RSSU is brilliantly unique and I love it!

First of all, the setting and time are pretty interesting and a breath of fresh air among the hundreds of games. Renders although beautiful, lack sharpness, which make them blurry and foggy. Worst part is the terrible english, this game needs a serious language edit.

This is the most exciting erotic game I have played here over a year. Even without any soviet cultural ties. It is also one of a few games here where I actually laughed quite a lot because some scenes are genuinely funny!

Thank you a lot! Hope development will continue.

It is one of the most promising game released in 2021 in f95zone imo.

• Good graphics
• Interesting plot and setting
• Well written characters
• Witty MC
• Nice dialogues

Only thing I didn't like in this game is how MC looks... It could have been better in my opinion... Overall I highly recommend this game...

Really interesting setting and beginning plot. Also amazing renders which provide a lot of immersion into the game. Interesting characters which will probably have their own backstory and the character in the future.

I love this game.
Characters renders are beautiful & classy. Clothing choices are extremely appealing (My favourite part of the game).
Story is fresh compared to other games and humour is pretty good.
Though, some people have pointed out few issues in translation but I don't mind it that much.

Can't wait for next update. I hope this never gets abandoned.

Always love seeing something original, and a 1980's Soviet setting is surely something we haven't encountered before. Add to this an intriguing story of mythical Greek artifacts and I'm intrigued!

The first thing I noticed was the care put into making sure the environments, clothing, etc. fit not only the time period but the location. I especially enjoy the attention to detail w/ Russian newspapers, posters, etc. This really helps with immersion.

The girls are well-designed (especially Olga...she can boss me around any time) and feel distinct. I love that the game leans into what was considered sexy for the time, e.g. cigarettes and stockings, and doesn't try to shoehorn in contemporary fetishes.

Two nitpicks I have are that 1) there are often several shots of the same scene from different angles, which feels unnecessary and 2) facial expressions don't always match the text. But the latter is hard (I know, I'm struggling w/ it myself in Three Rules of Life) and I'm sure will get better over time.

Over all, a fantastic new IP and one I'm looking forward to more from!

First of all, the translation needs a lot of work. It is especially bad in the first scenes on the train and on the street. Usually I don't mind poor grammar on VNs here, I am used to it, but I genuinely had a hard time understanding what the characters were saying.

I almost deleted it without continuing after that, but something made me come back to it, and I am glad I did. Once the MC got to the factory, it got a lot better. There is an actual plot, though a little hard to believe, but it has potential for a lot of sexy events to come. The scene where the MC saw the "top of the line" computer with 16 MHz CPU, and 640 kB RAM!, was pretty funny to those of us that actually remember those days, haha.

Artem, the MC, is a little annoying with his personality, but perhaps that is just the difference in culture or the translation. Olga is wonderful as your mysterious boss, and is the real standout character for me. The models are quite unique, and to me very beautiful, mostly (except for the female janitor, which looks odd), and a nice change from the models we usually see around here.

It is a little too new to really know what to rate it, but as a first update I am very impressed. All in all a great effort. I love the scenery and the focus on the 80's time period. I take 1 star off for the translation, but it is a lot better than most 3 star games here, so I would say solidly 4 stars at this point.

I have not come across this story line before, so top marks for originality - it also holds together well. The translation from Russian into English is 99% accurate so well done there. The renders are great and the characters uniformly beautiful - wish we all looked like that. It makes for an attractive game to play. I hope that the next chapter is posted soon.

Very good for the first release. Not perfect, but good.
I liked the character models, but they have a very simple environment on the street, which is very striking. This is not critical, especially if you have to sacrifice a lot of time to render the enclosure.
The plot of the story and the location are unusual for this genre of games, and that's good. The way the author of the project plays out some scenes is also unusual. I wonder if we should expect that we will never see the protagonist's dick?))
In general, the beginning intrigued me and I will observe the project with great interest. I give five stars for the first version of the game.

really nice. (But the sum of angles in a triangle is all wrong! at least in the version I am currently playing). Porn part seems very "tame" but this is fine for me. .

i think we got a WINNER Here!! there is potential for a Series. but the Big issue is; can the dev keep it up??? heheh. no really .. can they keep bringing us with quality story telling, characterization, and good looking models and environs??? i would even like to see some collaberation with other devs with story lines that inteact or just connect, such as 'Powers that Be', a lot of 'what if's' ... in this story. and i would really like to see this to the end. it has a nice look into '80's Soviet culture. (ameracanized a little) ...
... hoping for a Long and Glorious ending......

Great, fun, unique new story. Cool, sexy stylized art. Great humor. Some cons but this is early, so I will not mark off for:
- too many redheads and big chested women, need more variety
- females all act slutty right away (need variety, at least one good girl)
- Too many third person shots, need more POV
- Spanish(?) mixed in with English

Excellent background story and concept!

Now this is what I would call a perfect opening act for a porn game. Amazing story, great characters and worthwhile content.
The story is something different . Set in 1980's soviet Russia, our MC Artem has just aced his exams and ready to serve the motherland & is selected by Olga Nikolayevna to work under her. The game has deep medieval connections and has a bit of Mystery to it.
The renders are amazing , but no animations as of now. The characters are great & diverse ,each having their own quirks.
The writing is good, but not that humorous as mentioned in other reviews. The writing does sure contain some poetic humor at the start, but then most of the humor is made up by situational and physical comedy.
And lastly, the content is just great. for a chapter of 350 mb file size, I went in with very little expectations but was greatly surprised to find content that could span to almost 30 - 45 minutes.
Overall a refreshing new game. cant wait for the next update.

To be honest, I just don't get all the 5-star reviews, unless those people play it in Russian, and it's better in that language.
The English is bad, it's not anywhere near the worst Engrish we have here, but it's still bad.

And it's so pretentiously trying to be intellectual, every other sentence trying to be a cultural or literary reference.
This is of course made worse because the quips and jokes mostly misfire due to the weak translation, so the characters just come off as annoying.

It's not all bad though. Many of the women are gorgeous, and I think there is a good story behind the weak translation and the misfiring jokes.

If the quality of the translation improves, the writer cuts back a bit on Artem being a pretentious smart-ass and the women talking in riddles, this could be a really fine game.

At first, I wanted to just delete it and move on, but decided to power through, and it got better, to the point that I will now check out the next few updates and see if it improves and of course if it does, I will also correct the rating.

Now that was one of the best initial releases I've seen recently - Intricate frame story, great female characters with quirky but lovable individual traits. The story is very original and there's attention to detail depicting Sovjet Union 1980s style - a bit too clean and well working perhaps. The economy in th USSR in the 80' was far from running well. The esthetics would be a bit more fitting for the 60-ies, a much more dynamic time with Russia taking the lead in the space race. But that is of lesser importance.

My only true concern is the MC - apart from being a bit too smart and well endowed he doesn't rub off as a very interesting character. Buth there's still time for that to change in the coming chapters, to which I'm very much looking forward.

Great renders, good looking girls, unusual setting and pretty good plot with some nice humour.

Eros Amor i'll be watching you! Please don't urn this game in some abandoned clone) Start is really good man

Interesting concept an uncommon setting with a nice touch of simple intriguing plot that can develop into a really great story
Well written
Got humors
Got Hawt REDHEADS and Russian Ladies
Models are fresh, Rad and really well made
Renders are good in quality
Has the potential to be a one of a kind VN
Goodluck dev keep the good work.

This game is very nicely written. Cute red heads with glasses are always a plus. I like the female models, and the clothing and the sets. It seems to be for a more intelligent player than for someone who just wants to veg out and spank the monkey. It can punish you with a bad end if you push too hard to perv so I think this is going to be more of a slow burner in spite of there being some sexy fantasies and such. There is a classy milf boss too which I do enjoy.

this short review refers to RSSU — Retro Style Soviet Undies — version 1.0.

RSSU is, so far, one of the funniest games i played.
one finds humour everywhere — the characters names, posters on the wall, the state-of-the-art computer (which reminded me of a vintage Commodore 64 — or perhaps an Apple II?), the camera zooming in, the dialogues, as well as the plot itself.
the writing is Good — and i mean: G o o d — probably because there's a solid storyline behind it. I did find some minor errors and some exquisite inaccuracies (such as gendering objects), but IMO it just makes the game (or novel) a bit more charming.
I second the previous review: I shall keep track of this novel.
great job, Eros Amor; thanks for sharing.
