VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Secrets [Ep. 3 v4.1] [Elun Games]

The renders are pretty good and the story is fine I guess, but the writing is really dragging this one down, it is very cringey and on a completely different level of the rest of the game. I had a really hard time to power through the bad writing which frankly ruins the entire experience. I also find the choices weird that seem important but end up changing like 1 line in dialogue (for example getting sucked off 5 minutes after meeting a suspicious chick reveals she uses that to bust you through a DNA test but if you don't fall for her she will use your phone instead (she had the phone in both scenarios anyways, so why the BJ in the fist place?). I would normally give this game 4 stars but like I said, writing and dialog is a complete drag.

another amazing game made with the renpy engine and stunning renders
i mean damn i couldnt believe the detail and to top it all off a bloody brilliant story i mean if you dont call your character john mclane or james bond what the hell wrong with you start a new game and do that well done and good luck!

Game Version: Ep 3. v4.0

Time to Complete: 2-2.5 hours. Incredibly short for the download size.

TL;DR: While it's rough around some edges, it has an overall polish with a story I find to be unique and interesting.

Story: The story is unique to me. I have played another game that is vaguely similar to this, so it's clearly not the only game of it's kind, but it is certainly not a generic, predictable story.

Characters: This game knows exactly how to toy with your emotions with just text and a single facial expression. You go from only just meeting a character to liking them, to going "HOLD ON! WHAT THE FUCK?" really quickly.

Renders: Overall, they are above average. There doesn't appear to be any work done to the images once they're rendered, which would have been a nice touch, and while some images are gorgeous, others don't look nearly as great. My only gripe with the renders is that sometimes you can see where the terrain ends quite clearly. And sometimes there isn't even terrain and you're on a floating island. [The dev stated on his site that his PC simply can't render complex scenes with > 4 characters, so that's likely why some scenes just look like shit.]

The fact that the game is now a Visual Novel is good news! No more grinding/no more useless exploring through the map.

Renders are nice. Let's hope the story and H-scene will be at that level through the time!

My lord. The writing and how it is laid out. Pure cringe at times. Like cheese laid on thick. If you are a person who likes plot and a decent story in your porn games, to go along with the scenes, then you might find it lacking here.

Ok, I like plot in games, you give me a plot and it can be fantastical but well written, you will make me overlook a lot of things.

This story I am going to try to be non spoiler as possible. Light stuff you find out pretty fast. The story is about you move to a house with master thieves. Remember this ...... master thieves. What begins to occur in one instance to case out a museum. I won't reveal too much but the level of stupidity in this whole set up and what goes on there. My lord, what occurs is anything but skill and knowing your craft. Nothing comes off as real. The most stupid set ups and then it is like the writer goes oooooooo my god like I need a sex scene right here and smashes it down and to hell if it gels even remotely into the plot.

The dialogue is cheese, just pure cheese. I wish I could start listing it all out, but I am going to restrain myself as I don't want to ruin anything for someone that plays.

If you have nothing better to do, by all means play it. If you don't really care about plot or realistic dialogue in the tone that these people are supposed to be master thieves and do anything but show this so far to me, then you will have no issues and will more than likely enjoy it. Go into it with your thinking cap firmly off. Also this game is unfinished as far as I know, if the story explains in the future why some scenes play out like they did or it is refined, of course I will update this review accordingly. But currently I can only rate what I see.

Remember as always, if you play and enjoy, more power to you and it is never wrong as long as you enjoy it, just as it is not wrong if I give my opinion what did not work for me.

Ok it's just bang average and only because of the good renders.
The story seems to start interesting but falls flat quickly i didn't enjoy the way the story kinda unfolded and the sex scenes bursted in so randomly like it started serious and sudenly became corny b movie style which can be ok if it is being written funny alongside with the expressions and atmosphere but that's not there so it has to be accepted and feels forced.

There are rarely any atmosphere, buildup or fantasies elaborated.
It doesn't try to develop and explain characters also the 3 main girls all are kinda similar.
Especially after Episode 3 i think where we start to pick the scenes which were pretty short itself but with extra introduction made by eric x for each .... it became even worse felt more disconneted and episodic as if some interest in the project was lost, not looking forward to next updates tbh.

One of the best games i 've played so far... The interface is excellent, renders also are superb and the storyline so far is top... Nothing but 5 stars for this one... i really think is one of the best designed games i've seen.

This is my first review so bare with...

This game is great! The story is very interesting and continues to be interesting and it progresses in the bit of content there is so far. With that said, the amount of content might be slowed due to the fact the developers probably spent a large amount of time with the sand-box portion of the game (appears after Episode 3). It's also very aesthetically pleasing. Much cleaner looking than a lot of other titles that utilize this method for game-play).

The renders are amazing! Especially when you get to use the [Cinematic Mode] ! You can tell the developer(s) really spent some time making them. The only thing that would make this game even better than it currently is would to be add animations. It may be asking much for what they're doing/going with thus far (meaning longer updates) but, who knows. Maybe it'll happen in the future with more support.

I'm beyond excited to see what happens in future updates. I gave it 5 stars because I can see the passion behind what's there already. It can only get better from here (... I hope xD).

The characters are pretty interesting but I'm even more excited about what happens in the story.Strong start to the game.
renders are quite nice.
intriguing story.
very interesting storyline.
excellent dialogue .
---Milf Julia 5/5 !
beautiful renders and this is very well done !!!

Strong start to the game. Looks to have a lot of potential, just needs more content. Unlike other games where it takes a bit of time to get any action, this jumps right in. Visuals are probably a 4 out of 5, and this is obviously unrealistic, but I'm enjoying it. Looking forward to more content coming out.

Pretty good game. Looking forward to see more. The characters are pretty interesting but I'm even more excited about what happens in the story. Going on heists or whatever sounds pretty cool.

This pretty much is a great foundation to start a game on and hopefully in time it can gain even more popularity and praise.

damm disappointment, after reding many good reviews of the game i was felling exited, honestly i played not even 20 minutes of the game , by this time the MC had already had sex with 2 girls, honestly thats such a turn off, i know this is a porn game but there are levels even in porn, this fells like a cheap porn movie were the carachters just fuck. thnx but not tnx. renders are good enough that why i rated 2 stars.

Wow. Just wow.

Pros
- The renders are quite nice. The look on Zoe's face when she is "stuck" in the car window is just priceless
- The story is intriguing.
- The way the dev has implemented a pseudo sandbox style is good, it gives you options without losing the feel of a VN, and the best part is absolutely no grind or resource management.
- The cards system is a neat collectible, rewarding you for making the right choices during quests.
- The real gem in this game IMO is the characters. Almost all of the female characters are strong women who know what they want (even if in some cases they are conflicted about it) and (mostly) aren't afraid to go for it. Some people might complain that some of the sexual action happens to quickly, but I think that is because of this point. The women in this game are ones who have taken their lives into their own hands and are confident about their desires, rather than being overly concerned with what other people think.

Cons
- Honestly, the worst I can say about this game is that there are a few minor grammatical errors, a couple times over proofreading wouldn't hurt.

Overall Rating: 5*. Honestly this game has jumped to near the top of the list of games that I am awaiting updates for. Lucy, Zoe, and Louise are standouts at the moment, and while I don't love all the girls, there aren't really any I hate. If you like Crime/Mystery themed games with confident girls, this game is a must play.

about Story : very interesting storyline . 5/5
about graphics : excellent 5/5
about scenes : perfect. 5/5
about of content : excellent . 4/5
about dialogue : excellent dialogue . 4/5
about char. F. : they r all beautiful and damn hot hot ! ...that hot Milf Julia 5/5
Note : i love the intro song , mechanism system , the intro , from the start u know this game will be great , its one of the top 10 games for sure .

Excellent game, Brilliant Creator !

that's all i can say !

this guy has been so forthcoming about stuff that it almost feels unreal ! beautiful renders and this is very well done. I like the game even in its current state

i really hope we see more creators like ELUN on f95, they deserved the exposure !

I was gonna going to give this game 5 stars until the dev decided to torpedo the game by switching to yet another free roam abomination.

Now it gets 2 stars for what it could have been. Renders were great and had a very engaging storyline but another person trying to mask minimal content in updates with busywork.

No thanks. I am out.

I'll have to say I've been pleasantly surprised, the renders are incredible and the storyline is quite intriguing. It's quite apparent the developer Has put a lot of time and effort into making this game Fun and intelligent at the same time.

The renders are really good...
The animations are great...
The story line is really good...
The character models chosen are fantastic...
The dialog, not so much, the grammar is absolute trash, wrong word usage, so many fails of past tense and present tense, wrong character giving the on screen dialog in places...
How in the hell has this never been addressed in any of the updates ?
Failure to have a proofreader, what a shame...

i had fears when i saw this was going free-roam/sandbox..but my fears were quashed once i played..this is a beautiful way of implementing that style..as its seemless flawless and so easy you have no idea thats its our dreaded format anymore..this is a new way of doing it that i highly appreciate and fully support..the renders in this game are stunning..some of the best i've seen..am hoping the dev tries animations soon..i only rate games i feel are worth 5 stars in my personal opinion..ones that hit me in my happy places that i enjoy fully..this is one of them..even the least attractive woman is really quite fun..lol..give this one a whirl..its dandy

HIGH QUALITY, LOW QUANTITY

Story is good, nothing special.
Everything looks very good, no major issues.
Im hoping to see more of this, looks promising, especially visually.

Not into bbws but scene with the fat one is hot.
