VN - Ren'Py - Seduced in Rio [v0.33] [Samba&beach]

-good game if you are in to ntr/nts
-too many route at this rate! it will gonna kill the game or super slow progress...
-story and acts are overrated and far from reality
-pictures are good and getting better by each update

Farily unique AI generated artwork is not enough to overcome a bland and uninspired story.

If I had to sum up the game in one word it would be "predictable".

Both in terms of the writing and direction.

As a seperate warning. This developer backtracked on their promise to ensure any Cuck type content was avoidable. While that has NOT (concously) factored into my review of the game. It is something worth mentioning as I try to be transparent with any potential biases I may have.

A poorly made script, most certainly written with the help of or completely by AI; hastily scrapped together AI images (still sensual, by the merits of the LORA used) - they aren't even cut or edited correctly. Really shoddy work.

Not sure how I feel about this one. the AI art is fairly well done and I have zero issues with it. so Ill give it 3 stars for that, as a rule if soemone uses it to enhance their wordsmithing I am ok with it. but having worked a lot with AI myself I cant unsee obvious telltale signs that a lot if not all of the text is AI generated. It's hard to tell if it was a fire and forget prompting or more directed.

I am not one of those anti-ai people, so this is more of a constructive criticism for the dev

knowing the telltale signs of AI writing, that has almost zero oversight by the prompter, makes it nearly impossible to unsee it and not critique it, the story may be enjoyable but for me personally I keep tripping over those glaring signs which takes me out of the story. Im not gonna point them out here so people who dont know them can enjoy the story.

I recommend proof-reading by someone familiar with AI text or learning the signs and rewriting sections in your own words or if you really dont want to put that much effort, at least create negative prompt guides for claude or gpt, which ever you are using to weed out the red flags.

I found the game really fun to play, the character interactions pull you in, the animations? Oh my god, they're great and made it easier on me, the characters are so pretty and sexy , and the whole game has a nice style to it. Personally excited over the romance and NTR/NTS and see how much those genres interact with each other. Fingers crossed it'll do it right.

This is.... not good. I'm not even sure where to begin, honestly - so many red flags, in such a short (~20 minutes or so) game. Let's just start, in no particular order.

- Text coloring: white text, overlaid on top of a white tile floor. Thank goodness the dev's writing is so poor, or it would be really frustrating trying to figure out what the hell is being said. Since the story is nonsense, though, this could actually be considered a positive thing.

- Mini-game: Can't skip it, can't fail it. A must-pass, horrendously difficult minigame that has no relevance to the story or any importance. Just.... like a gate-keeping exercise, to see how much you'll tolerate to find out what happens next in a really bad story. (Turns out i have more patience than I thought)

- Sandbox: Making a sandbox can be done well. It's definitely HARD to do a good job at it, though, and the dev falls short of this by a country mile. The 'sandbox' has a single option ( a bar) where the MC goes. There is the option to talk to a random stranger - I chose not to - or click 'Pass the Time'. It turns out, though, that this bar is ACTUALLY outside of the space-time continuum, as I 'passed the time' about 75 times with no change. In other words, you have to talk to the random strangers. Oh, okay. So..... what's the point of 'pass the time'?

- Zero interactivity: Multiple times, you are presented with a text bar on screen that requires you to click to continue. For example, at the bottom it will say "What should I do next?" with a 'choice' of HAVE SOME COFFEE. Nothing else. No other option. Then why the hell is there even a choice? Or, "Do you want to surf?" Well, actually, i DON'T want to surf, but you only offer a selection of "YES", so i guess i'll have to tolerate it.

This was awful. Genuinely awful.

v0.1
Really happy to see a game story happening in Brazil, some renders are not in the best quality, but I'm pretty sure in the next updates it will get better, the story has potencial and Fabiana looks really hot.

I like the renders. The dev's biggest mistake was the unnecessary black text background blocking the good stuff. If you've got outlined text, you don't need this. The save page is poorly created which makes clicking on the forward arrow hard to do. Sex consists of a single blowjob that's poorly animated (too fast, too jerky) and very disappointing, as one would reasonably expect it to be foreplay, if not the start to a long story. The best part of the game by far is the title screen, where there's a nice titty bounce animation.
