VN - Ren'Py - Completed - SandStorm (EraStorm Saga #1) [v2.02] [GleenX Studio]

A game about ancient egypt ? Count me in!

Pros :

• I'm a sucker for this kind of story and i am not disappointed from what i have seen in episode 1. A game about ancient history and a love squirrel ? a great game in the making for sure!
• I like the character, their models are unique especially the MC. it is great to see a new fresh model of the MC. The girls ? pretty and lovable especially Rion, i will definitely try to get her The dev teases us that there will be a new LI in v0.3, can't wait for that.
• There are scenes available already, but i have to say the quality is subpar at least for me, not that good but not that bad either. I hope they will improve it
• Loving the system here, it is somewhat NTR because if we focused on one LI, the other LIs will have fun with someone else, really realistic just like in real life. Personally i don't mind seeing the scene where other LIs having fun with other people, I love NTR when it is a good one
• YOUR CHOICE DOES MATTER!! BE CAUTIOUS

I am hooked, the story has so much potential and i'd like to see where story take us.

Hoping they improve the steamy scene quality in the future. Sucks to see a VN like this have a subpar steamy scenes quality.

100% HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE A RIDE!

A very decent game with a griping Egypt-mythology themed plot. Perfect for those who want a straightforward choice dependent game with a good story and different parts depending on your choices.

Game-play: 4/5
So far the gameplay is rather good. Here we have a Game that actually is choice driven, where you have to analyse which options will lead to which outcome. It's all very well arranged and at the end you see how much you scored with each girl. I did stumble upon one non-fatal error where
A required picture couldn't be found, however everything continued smoothly afterwards.

Renders: 3.5/5
The renders in their current state are slightly above average in my opinion. The models are rather standard DAZ models and the background in some cases seems to be based on pictures rather then modeling. Sometimes this works really well, here it all clashes a bit, the pictures bring out the artificiality of the DAZ models. However as this seems to be a first release i think the quality here will improve over time.

Story: 5/5
Great Story, very adventurous and exciting

Writing: 4/5
Good English, Characters speak like normal humans though they don't always seem like they are the brightest candles on the cake, so to speak.

Overall: B+ | 4.1/5
I really do hope the Dev will continue with this project, so I'll upgrade this to 5 as I know there is definitely potential for that here.
