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

I was hoping I had found a hidden gem with this one, the reviews sure made it seem like it.
But I could not despite my best effort make it far into the story due to the bad translation and how poorly the dialogues flowed as a result.
Get someone to do a full rewrite of the translation and perhaps It will be more attractive to a wider audience.

Other then that the graphics and light story elements seemed okay from the time I actually spent before uninstalling.

good story, keeps you interested. Beautiful female models. Great renderings. Good pacing. The animations are very smooth.
The translation to English needs improvement and the signs on the streets should also be translated.

So. Most Russian or Russian themed games I've played before have been.. well not for me. Usually due to poor translation and/or genre content. However this, even with in-perfect English grammar managed to sound good , cute almost. Maybe that was plan? am unsure. The story (as a fan of warehouse 13) i think is great. Dialogue and Jokes, excellent. Graphics and anims also good, for my taste though a bit kinkier would be nice rather than just standard HJ BJ V sex. Thing i really like though is the clickable info. Gives Player an insight into History, Culture, Etc. Top Marx. (marks)

Most boring game i have ever played. Story is terrible, dull and idiotic.
Renders are fine. Music is annoying.
Its boring handjob/teasing simulator.
I hate daydreaming of MC and undressing LI's with imagination.
MC is typical doormat, no personality, nothing.

I give this game 2/5 only for ok renders and orignal setting of the world.
Rest is plain boring AF, lewd scenes are short and boring too, zero kinks or fetishes.
Overall one big boring game.

An entertaining visual novel with good writings. Though, through translation some humor is lost, but it's far better than the average stuff.

Here and there are some minigames which don't take much of your time. There may be some hit or miss, depending on your preference on minigames.

The visuals are okay. I think, the initial release is some years ago, and the update policy of the Dev is not very.... consumerfriendly. I knew I played it some years ago, kept it in great memories, but with time it sadly faded away.

The personal biggest bonus this game offers: lot's of gorgeous redheads!

I assume the five star reviews are all from people playing the game in Russian.

Between references to important historical figures (like Yuri Gagarin) and ancient Greek myths (like the Odyssey) it's quite obvious that the writing is a key part of this game, but the English translation isn't very good so strange terms, phrases and grammar crop up in almost every line of dialogue. It's disappointing as the premise of the game and the conditions you are working under seem fairly well reasoned; It's also obvious that the author has put a bit of humour in the game, but once again the translation means that none of the jokes land properly.

The visuals are decent; not spectacular, but serviceable. The idiosyncrasy that Russian VN developers have where they show the same scene from like five different angles is there fairly regularly. When combined with the poor dialogue translation it turns this into a pretty mediocre game.

I absolutely believe that if the author could could sort the translation out this would be five stars, as under those circumstances the slightly weaker visuals wouldn't matter.

This is an excellent game. The graphics are amazing, the girls are very hot. The story is very clever and well written. There is a lot of humor in subtle self-irony style.
This game's setting is a kind of Soviet style pin-up mixed with Strugatsky brother's "Monday Begins on Saturday" style Sci-Fi. It is full of allusions to the Soviet time popular culture mixed with Greek mythology, but even the people without such background knowledge will enjoy this game as it is full of hot steaming babes, long legs in nylon and lewd scenes. Each girl has a different interesting personality and the MC isn't an arsehole for a change.
In my opinion it is a top tier game.

I see guys did a lot of work here but I'm not vibing with the game's style.
None of the characters in the game are remotely interesting.
All those mini-games are just plain boring.
This is just not for me.

Really dislike the quiz(beginning) and the grammar is horrendous. Not sure why some of these vn's have such a terrible approach, ie you can't rewind and undo a choice. The graphics seems okay but it's hard to focus on the story when the grammar is the way it is. Feels like a headache reading some of the dialogue and no I'm not blaming the developer. But it can't be that hard to get someone who knows english to just go over the text.

A good visual novel, for it's kind. The characters, the content, and the music are fun and enjoyable. I'll follow the updates on this one, i hope it keeps a funny and retro style. Keep up the good work

I really wanted to like this one and for the first little bit I did. I find the Russian history lessons cute, the models and renders are well done and the entire premise is unique.

But then I got to the first multi camera-angle scene where you see the exact same thing from 5+ different cameras and found it extremely annoying. If this has been a one off then whatever but the problem is the dev keeps going back to this same annoying "filler" technique. So it's probably worth giving it a try and seeing if you have the same reaction.. if not you'll have another fun game to play so more power to you

Man that`s great! Its not game but KN for now, but it`s damn good! Great graphics, beautiful settings and surprising plot! May be now it has pacing too fast to be in order with game epoch, ), prologue was promising and then you just get any girl around. Stay in style )

It's not perfect but I'm giving it 5 stars as I generally liked it and would like to see more of it.

It's quite different from your regular game as the story happens in Soviet Union in the 80s and if you like that climate, you will find quite a lot of references in the graphics and story.

The females look really pretty. Yes, they are anachronistic and look more like pinup girls from 40s/50s and not actual Russian women from the 80s but I'm going to forgive it.

The story is a bit silly but I'm going to forgive it to. It's definitely not to be taken seriously as the game takes rather comical approach to everything.

This is definitely a game worthy of attention, both rendering, model, plot are so excellent, can bring us very good enjoyment, RSSU style is unique and fascinating, this game deserves more supporters!

So, this is different.

It has quite a few silly elements, a bit of humorous soviet pride. Some very strange characters or maybe quirky is the word.

My main thing against this is the text. I'm using a large screen but the text is hard to read due to its size and background.

Now, my lack of interest for the story aside, the art is quite nice. Models look good. MC is wierd, based on what I've heard of russian made games, the standard is the beta mc who is a follower, next to no initiative or sleep "espionage." This seems to have some of that as the MC has to be a follower to Olga whatever her last name that I can't spell is ( I didn't copy it so I'll give up on editing this to fix it.)

But yeah, that's me. As you can see, there's a lotta others who love the game so maybe read their reviews too.
This weird so me probably out.

Nice Story, excellent quality of the renders and it is a pleasure to play this game. I like also how the RSSU style of the design. Nice approach. I would like to see updates more often but I understand that quality requires more time to deploy.

This game has lore that is fairly unique around these parts, given that it is set in the Soviet Union. I like the novelty.

So far, the game is a fairly quick play (~1-2 hours), but thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for the next updates!

Very good game，the picture is very detailed,Take me back to the 80's，I hope the author will continue to create good works。Very good game，the picture is very detailed,Take me back to the 80's，I hope the author will continue to create good works。
