VN - Ren'Py - Savior [v0.16c] [Purple Fellas]

Savior [ v0.12c ]

Good game with good renders. What I loved the most is the story. Not a generic game. Renders nicely done models are polished well. You can have make girls obide you and corrupt them with the mind control. But I'm more of a romance guy. So I'm having a romantic path. Animations are good. There is characer development. Both sisters are my fav.

Overall I enjoyed the game. Keep up the good work dev looking forward to next updates.

Good game,awesome graphics.Only reason it's not 5* is because the options are kinda limited with girls and using mind control just for sex is kinda a waste of power when u can actually literally use that power for much more and have better effect on girls to suit your style or desires

MC was utterly dedicated to solving the mystery of his vanished father. To the point of not having a life outside of it.
Which is why it is weird that the first thing he does once the game starts is go on a date with some random girl he just met.

That girl is utterly plastered with disgusting tattoos which were very unattractive and made me want to give her a pass. But I was not allowed that choice. Instead MC takes her on a date and is all excited about his prospect of scoring. A few days later she is his true love or something. This was a jarring disconnect with both myself, and also with his own established backstory (only cares about solving mystery of missing father).

The game tries hard to be funny. But I am just not laughing. The characters are all laughing uproariously at every joke, but I am not. which is just awkward.

I am not a fan of incest, but it is even worse when they go halfway without committing.
There is an ipatch... but it barely changes anything. it just uses a few more "bro" and "sis".
With or without the patch the game goes out of its way to make sure you know there is no genetic commonality between you and your sisters and mothers.
Mom and dad genetically engineered the three of you in a lab... and intentionally made you biologically unrelated to each other and them for "reasons".

Game has fake choices. When I finally got a choice (date asks for a 3rd drink. do you overrule her and bring her water instead). Wrong choice (do as she says) is actually a game over... not in a "you get arrested for drunk sex" way but in a "she puked. you failed to get laid. game over".

Morality system is as usual poorly implemented.
Give your date a compliment because you want to fuck her? +2 [GOOD]
Choose to not be a total asshole? +2 [GOOD]
Rape your mother? +2 [EVIL]
Torture someone? +3 [EVIL]
It's over the top.

The mind control is very unsatisfying. It is usually just a "now we do a sex act. you will then completely forget it". And you even often get less sex by going that route since the game really wants to reward you for being [Good].
I was very disappointed that I can't mind control my sister to tell her to get rid of her awful haircut, take out the asymmetrical body and facial piercing, and stop it with the awful blue dyejob.
Instead I am railroaded into being supportive of her uglification, countermanding mother and other sister who are trying to convince her that it looks ugly and she should ditch that style.

Art is mostly good looking, barring a few ugly characters whose ugliness comes from self harm (tattoos, piercing, awful dyejob, etc).
The vaginas are a little gross looking in this game (and no, this is not realism). I have seen much worse 3d rendered vaginas, being less bad is not the same as being good.

I like this game. While it does follow some of the seeming stereotyped VN plots, I does have a good story. I'm not going to beat the dev up over slight foibles relating to his own culture, language, and ethnicity. Don't we come her to escape from the real world? I have met cops that were childish, and others who were total dicks. this guy is ok. He seems to really care about people and even more for his direct friends and "family". Thank you for allowing us to kick that tattooed slut to the curb. We have enough on our plate without having to deal with her drama. Let her go fall in love with her next one-night-stand. Keep it up Dev.

v0.12

this VN is already three years in production, which considering the amount of content, is pretty poor.
the game really trades on its visuals above novel, as the grade of art is far surpassing the grade of writing.
i also wonder if the artist and writer are even on the same page as i can see no reason for the girlfriend other than a pointless distraction left over from a chaotic start to this being created. even a plot twist will not warrant her inclusion in what is basically a decent plot.
sadly, it is not turning out so well written. the idea is there but the dialogue is basically writing itself. take out the sex scenes and it falls into mediocrity.

it leads heavily to becoming not only incestuous but double incest...with the same family. different. but this seems to be it's only real appeal beyond imagery. sex scenes in abundance really do hide all manner of sins here huh.

a slightly more imaginative telling and this could have been really good.
personally i have seen enough as after 3 years i'm still not hooked

(v.12)

Plot-driven VN, MC loses father, hot mom and sibs, x-filesy story with superpowers, mind-control, conspiracies, mom has weird eyebrows...

The plot is a ridiculous power-fantasy, but the dev puts a lot of effort into keeping it moving, so kudos. There's definitely a lot of thought put into this. It would be better if the MC didn't have powers, make him more reliant on his own abilities...

The dialogue is like Jane Austen, everyone speaking in perfect prose, lots of subordinate clauses, everyone explaining everything, natter natter natter. There's even a narrator, why the f--k he's necessary I dunno.

Renders are good, good composition, good use of sprites, nice animations, clever use of effects (flashing etc.). Maybe more closeups... with renders this good I think you can risk it, and it would make the intimate scenes more intimate. Not sure about closeups of mom's weird eyebrows, though.

Two paths, gud vs evil, so it's replayable. Watch mom's weird eyebrows go up in shock at evil MC.

There's effort into differentiating characters. Law of conservation of cast means that everyone is connected to the plot, which gives a feeling of claustrophobia. MC breaks out of various pickles by realizing that you wouldn't like him when he's angry. Mom's eyebrows - they're a character of their own.

Fappable, yes, if the yummy bits are a little infrequent for some. But the buildup is generally good, and most of the women are hubba-hubba. Some nice little touches (ahem) when MC unveils his penis. Betcha thought I was gonna make a crack about mom's eyebrows, didn't ya?

If I could give .5 stars I would. This is better than my standard for 3 stars, but not up there to the 4 star level. I think the plot is about to get totally out of hand, with the alternate dimension etc, so watch this space.

Oh yeah, and during a tense scene in a park, the MC demands, "say something!" and the other person replies "something," so, yeah, like keep that clever banter going. Two weird eyebrows up.

I love this game, there is a real plot, a wide choice of path that rytme the game well, not to mention the influence of good and evil.
Not to mention the animations and graphics which are of very good quality.
it is really part of my top 5!
#######################################################
J'adore ce jeu, il y a une vrai intrigue, un large choix de chemin qui rytme bien le jeu, sans compter sur l'influence du bien et du mal.
sans parler des animations et du graphisme qui sont de très bonnes qualité.
il fait vraument parti de mon top 5!!

Was pleasantly surprised to see such a good and well-built storyline. Graphics are excellently created and animated. Definitely top 5 on this website (if not top 3) despite the (what is now possibly over) 500+ games

reviewed against 0.11c

I gotta say, it took me a few times to get into this. I kept picking it up, getting bored, dropping it only to pick it up again. I mainly kept coming back because it looks pretty as hell and whilst having whats looks like a not bad release schedule and let's be honest, those two on their own can paper over a great many flaws in a game.

So I came back to it. And I'm glad I did, it's fun. The characters are varied and kinda entertaining. Sure there's issues with tried and tested tropes (the shy sister/ the not so shy one / the hot mom / the hot friend etc.) but nothing off putting.

The story is both a hindrance and a big big plus. The Dev is putting the effort in to actually have something there as opposed to falling into mediocre "put dick in this simulator". not going to go into a huge retelling but it involves a big bad, an external threat, a chosen one (you), a mysterious father. It's all there. But as I said this is both good and bad.

The good is that by putting in the effort alone, this game is better than so many. The issue I have with it however is the pacing and use of the game mechanics is a bit... off.

So you're basically the Savior of the title, you're going to save everything. Which is nice, it's fun to be important. So you've got powers to do ......things. The problem with the game so far is it seems the author prefers what those powers are to be incredibly vague. Everything is hinted at but it's teased out. What makes it annoying is the big bad is set up pretty damn early. So it's kind of like "here's the big bad thing you're going to save us all from, they can do this and that and that and please save us Obi Wan Kenobi you're our only hope" but as you play the game you're left going ".... how the hell can I do anything against all THAT?" I'm about 3 quarters through the game so far and I've seen like..... 3 powers I have, one of which is "I can punch harder than a normal dude" but all of which cause me to knock myself out if I use. I'm getting that eventually I'll master them all and turn into Doom Guy or something but right now I'm an ex-cop who every now and then, can punch a guy quite hard, who also happens to enjoy getting his dick wet.

As I mentioned I'm sure eventually I'll get a power that can turn the tide but right now it seems the only reason I'm still alive is plot armour, and stringing the villains plan out long enough for me to get up to 100% seems a bit.... absurd given your enemies have already shown they can basically do what they want.

It's not off putting, it's not something that would make you roll your eyes and turn off, but I feel right now the MC is a passenger in the story and if I'm meant to be the "Savior" then it kind of needs to be shown how exactly I'm going to be that, cause until then it feels a bit hollow. Some exposition around your powers and your backstory is criminally needed here cause right now the MC's being told he's going to save everyone and I just can't see it.

Visuals are fantastic, story is engaging, characters are varied and the Dev obviously knows what they're doing and are committed to telling their story. It's worth your time, and hey, you might not be as picky as I am and love it. Right now though I'm waiting for the event which will grip me and change my opinion of this game from "aye, not bad" to "fuck, this needs to be on Steam so I can throw money at it"

Girls are pretty. I like the story.

But the game deserves 1 star, for a simple reason: choices don't matter. Don't pursue a scene? Too bad, it may well happen anyhow.

Example:

That isn't to mention "forced" scenes. The stuff with Amber isn't a big deal, but considering I can turn her down later and end her route, forcing players into sleeping with her is annoying.

Maybe the dev intends to get back to previous sections, and make the choices matter. But at the moment, it feels as if we're given too few choices. Too few options with those choices (basically breaking down to "pursue her" or "hurt her," but no neutral choices) and situations where your choices just don't matter.

And that makes the entire experience seem broken to me, and utterly destroys my interest in playing the game.

The issue of, at the very least, making the choices that do exist MATTER, by not making future scenes that directly contradict choices being what we see, and instead reflecting what we picked, would see me come back. But right now, I couldn't bring myself to keep playing.

Let's go. This one isn't over yet, it's still updated and if I were to guess there's still a lot of history ahead, so let's wait to enjoy it because this one is delicious. I wasn't going to do an analysis because I was going to wait a few more att, but I felt I needed to talk about this one, I think there's enough things to talk about.
Note: I didn't play all the routes, I forgot to do that, bad.

•Strengths:
- Man, the story is amazing. This game has history and a wonder. The synopsis says it all so I won't say too much to not spoil it, but I guarantee it's very good.
– Look, the character design is very good and the environments are also well made
– One thing I don't usually talk about much, but I think this one is worth talking about is the personality of the MC that in this one is more determined to do things and there are few times he acts like a chicken. This one is badass.
– Choices are important to the story and the part that I did everything possible came at the end of the game lol but there are a lot of choices and they mess with the story.

• Negative points
– Look, really. I only remember one detail that I didn't like, because even the fact that he's more active, if you know what I mean, is well explained. So what I didn't like was not having the possibility of him not starting a relationship with that woman, how do we know what's going to happen until because right? I'm not a fan of betrayal so I didn't enjoy it, but if it wasn't for that it might be worth it. It's not a spoiler because it's literally something that happens in ten minutes of gameplay.

Final thoughts: maybe because I didn't do all the paths I can't say that all are good, but what I did I liked. For those who want to know, I'll leave it for the end to dwarf spoiler kkk. But the game is very fun, I think it is perhaps one of the best on the site and I will definitely continue this story.

Rating: 10/10 (I would give 9/10, but as I didn't do all the paths I won't lower the rating for something that may have been my fault)

Worth it: This one for sure.

Here's what I did:
I avoided relationships with all girls and did everything I could to earn kindness points. “But it's a romance game too” ss, but the one I wanted to stay didn't appear, so bye to the others.

Thank you for reading this far and thank you enjoy the game you will not regret it.

*Edit: Played to the newest update and things got better. The good/bad system is in play and you can now have sexy bits by being good but being bad is still about raping everyone with tits.

I´m spoiled. 2 years ago this would be a solid 5 stars VN, today, not so much. On the plus side, we have great graphics, with hot models, great fap material. The overall premise of the story is great too, sci-fi paralel world stuff, makes things interesting and fresh. Now for the weak spot: the writing is stupid. Not nerve wreking shot at your screen stupid, but really weak. The charecters arent really well built. For example, these days, smart, 21y olds, hot as hell, city girls, arent virgins and gullible. Unless there´s a specific reason for that and in cleverly written games you get that. Lewd scenes are poorly written into the story too: most of the time the MC is exploiting some virgin girl or is being rapey. There´s more to it of course, good and bad, but i´ll finish here.
A few years ago this game would be the bomb. Now it´s average. I´ll still play it. There is fap material here for sure.

Not sure why this is rated so low. Especially with all the crap AVN's that are 5 starred right at the beginning lately. Maybe because there is no taboo which definitely this should not have the tag.

The renders are "excellent" The animations are excellent. Story is above above average since it actually has a story and not too commonly used theme. The only things that can be improved on IMO is the consistency of updates.

This is a game that started out pretty interesting, I played the good path and just thought this would designed to be a more of a slow burn type of game. Their was some sex scenes but few a far between. Then I figured I would try the evil path and boy was this a completely different game, I soon realised this game was only "meant" to be played as the evil asshole. There were far FAR more sex scenes, im talking 3 to 4 times as many scenes availlable. Also you have less LI on the good path, so not only less sex scenes the evil path has exclusive characters which you don't exclusive LI's that are only available on the good path.

Im only giving 2 stars because if the dev would have said in the beginning if we want to experience the real game we should'nt waste our time trying to be the hero and just go full-on evil asshole if you actually want porn in your porn game.

Savior is a story about a guy that is thrust into a situation in his life as a result of the actions of his father when he was a child. The stories title is pretty much what the MC is or is supposed to be. I will first give you the good parts before explaining why I only gave this 2 stars.

GOOD

The renders in the story are pretty good. If you are looking for a story with alot of eye candy, then you will like Savior. I didn't really see too many issues or artifacts with the renders and although they aren't the "best", they certainly aren't the worst.

The story itself isn't really a new one but it is approached in a fairly unique manner. There are the usual and typical tropes but then again, it is an adult VN so those are to be expected. The story certainly has the potential to be fantastic.

BAD

My problems with this story are that the plot and the interweaving subplots are all over the place. Here we are with an MC that "appears" to be estranged from his family. He left home, took a job and hasn't connected with any of his family in a long time. One would think that there would be alot more tension in the family and although Mom would always welcome her son home, you would think that their relationships would be more strained yet they aren't. In fact, the character that is the most outspoken about his arrival end up in his pants on the first night!! Hardly the estranged family here. This is a recurring theme in the game where things are way too easy for the MC. Everyone just drops to their knees with this guy and declares him king of the couch in many ways. All of it is in stark contrast and a polar opposite to the beginning of the story.

The MC himself in the beginning is portrayed as this heart broken son that has lost his dad and is dead set on finding him. You get the feeling that he has cast everything and everyone aside in this endeavor yet that never really happens.

The humor is this story is really misplaced. There is humor when things should have a serious tone and you are left asking what in the world is going on. The humor is so bad that it is at times annoying leading to click through just to get past it.

Everything is rushed. The story had the potential to be fantastic but it seems rushed. It is almost as if the writers were impatient and simply couldn't wait to get the action moving. There is very little build up to anything and aside from the opening scene where you learn what happened to set the story in motion, nothing is explained. You are simply left to try and figure it out as you go. Thankfully it isn't easy to figure out as the story-line itself just kind of goes in one direction without any real focus on any one thing. Details get dropped in your lap. There is no suspension of disbelief and you are lead along like a horse with a carrot dangling in front of him.

Overall this story simply isn't worth all of the credit the fans are giving. The writing is mediocre at best, the humor is misplaced and the whole relationship building thing has just been tossed right out the window in favor of an "Oh you have a dick so left fuck" story-line.

I give it two stars because while it may be good enough to download and play, it isn't good enough to truly enjoy.

I must admit i nearly skipped this one, which im really flad i didnt. The first time i looked at it i read the description and thought its some kind of boring DNA-Manipulation overpowered almighty hero bullshit, where the MC is all powerful and can do everything. Im really glad i gave it a chance tho because even tho the story is like what i have described a little bit it still doesnt seem boring to me so far.
The Plot is actually pretty interesting with a unique setting which, at first, sounded kinda dumb with the paralell universe and whatnot but actually is quite fun to play. With the slow discovering of the powers there is still a suspense beign built, which makes it quite enterntaining to play.
The women look very good, and the animations are very enjoyable so i have to say overall: this is a great VN and its definetly worth checking out and giving it a chance.

The first couple of chapters are a little rough from a story perspective (the Amber character is particularly poor writing), but the game improves greatly in both story and visual quality from there. Very fun concept that I look forward to the dev exploring further.

Hmm I really liked the story of this one though we've seen this concept in other movies and stuff many times. It is sure unique regarding adult games but idk why it field flat for me on some points and the overall execution would've gone better. Despite having enjoyed playing this game and looking forward to the next update, I'm only giving this 3 stars so far as I like to be critical when presenting my review.

*review for v0.10d

The only thing I didn't like about this game is the story. For example, MC invites a girl he just had a one night stand with the other night to come and sleep with him at his family home. She then proceeds to straight away go to help one of the sisters to pick up an outfit while being naked in front of a complete stranger. Some other weird stuff like that throughout. If story is what's important for you in these type of games this is not it.

Otherwise the game offers great visuals, nice animations (although no sound), hot models and very nice dialogue.

I'll definitely check out future updates but not because I care what happens with the story.

Overall good game, 3.5/5 or strong 3/low 4.

Superb. Maybe the most interesting & original story I've seen here. The renders are awesome. The pace feels great and there's a solid amount of content (version 0.10d). Anyone who's into Sister stuff should absolutely play this.
