VN - Ren'Py - Seducing the Devil [v0.12a] [DeafPerv]

Another game that unfortunately fails due to the dev over-estimating their own writing skills.

Visually speaking it's pretty good. I wouldn't say it's incredible, but overall it's at least an 8/10, filled with all the expected hot women with some good lighting and backgrounds to match. Honestly, it felt much more enjoyable just skipping the dialogue and just going to the scenes.

The story itself is pretty dumb. The more you learn, the more you want to ignore it. It's just total and utter rubbish. I mean there are so many totally unnecessary additions that just provide no additional value to the experience. Why does his mom/step-mom have such a dark abuse story with the aunt? Why is there a random fucking birthing scene right after a sex scene? I mean you could literally just put them separately, there is zero artistic merit to putting them together! The story isn't good enough to justify all these limp build-ups and attempts at """lore""", which is essentially just dumped onto you in random intervals while the dev pretends it's very complex.

The dialogue doesn't make things any better. The story has every woman immediately want to have sex with you, which is hard to write well and requires a genuine understanding of how people would think and interact. Unfortunately, the dev just defaults to the expected porn dialogue. There's no real internal conflict, it's just varying versions of the same porn script you'd expect. It certainly doesn't help that the MC is just the cliche "omg, I can't control myself" porn character. I mean it's just ridiculous how one-dimensional and generic they are, and it's emblematic of the writing throughout.

With so many "demon gives me powers" stories, I was hoping this one would manage to stand out, but unfortunately it falls into the same traps as many others on this site: using the supernatural as a justification to be lazy. I'm being kind at giving it a 5/10, despite the fact I feel no personal desire to actually continue playing it.

I dont know how i didn't stumble)d it until today .I have not completed playing the game (currently in episode 8) but so far so good .The story seems interesting and maybe a bit confusing due to flashbacks time skip or vision.All the characters are hot and voluptuous There's no petitie characters though.And there's harem . Definately has a lot of potential for further development.And furthermore we have a lot of content .

The story is completely incomprehensible, the animations are rough, and the two plot-lines feel completely disconnected from one another. The development progress has also moved at a snail's pace (with that being said the dev has stuck with the project when others would have quit)

With all these complaints it doesn't seem logical why I'm rating the game so high.... But there's something about Veronica. I can't explain it but that character makes everything else worth it.

Very good game and renders, the story is very intriguing although I personally don't like paranormal stuff.
The missing star is due to the fact that the various time-jumps are not very understandable.
As a personal opinion, I wish the MC to have more control and some sort of power and not just a toy in the hands of Lileva and Cherry.

I was liking this game at first. Most of the girls are nothing special, except Cherry and veronica. Both of them are pretty hot.
But then the dev makes a great mistake of not letting the Player choose. Ella is established as a girlfriend, so thats fine and also there is option to not take her path. But selina is just forced on you, even though she is nothing special. There should be an option to reject her as well. i kept playing in case there is a way to choose only veronica, but that never came. Just have to endure selina for being with veronica
Anyways game is far along to make any changes, but just hope the dev should have thought about that.

I played v0.12a
I like the story so far it's easy to follow for the most part if you are familiar with jumping timelines and flashbacks. to keep this short ill list and rate a few things.
Plot: 5/5 Love it
MC(logic/decision making): 4/5 his logic is hard to follow in episodes 1-6
Women/Girls: 5/5
Renders: 4/5
Game Flow: 3/5 it runs smooth enough but its hard to tell if your still in a flashback at times.

This is a pretty good game and it would have gotten a higher score if it wasn't pretending to be something it's not. I feel like this game tries so hard to paint the MC as this dominant or potentially dominant deviant that is taking advantage of the women around him, and he is the complete opposite of that. If you want to make a straight up romance good guy game, that's fine with me and I have fun playing those games. I also enjoy playing all the different routes in games that have a good and evil path. I feel though that this dev either doesn't know how to write an actual dominant guy or doesn't want to. If they don't want to, that's fine. The problem is that this game spends so much time having characters and the MC acting like he is out of control. The MC spends so much time apologizing for everything, asking way too many times if everything is alright, and basically just following orders from all the women. There is even a point in the game where someone says that he needs to make a choice to be more dominant or not, but that choice never happens. The woman always make the first move, they either command him during sex or he is constantly asking permission to do anything. The MC is also completely stupid, like more stupid than is acceptable for the MC of a sex game to be.
Also, I wish the time skips were labeled or at least better written. Sometimes I had no idea when a scene was happening or it took a while to realize it. All in all, I just feel like this should either be a nice, romance game like it is, or the dev can actually put in a dominant or bad guy route. I mean, even the devils or demons aren't that bad. If you're going to create a game with literal devils, then at least be brave enough to go the distance with the dominance or bad routes. Like I know that shit like that is bordering on rape or whatever, but it's a game. This is supposed to be for living out or playing fantasies that we know are wrong in real life. It doesn't always have to measure up to our real world morals and rules.

The only reason I'm giving this above a 1-star is because Cherry is so friggin hot. Beyond that this game is terrible. The story doesn't make a lick of sense. I toughed it out all the way to Chapter 7 and it still doesn't make any sense.

The game forces scenes with girls you're not interested in on you...it's just terrible. It's too bad, too, because like I mentioned before, Cherry is absolutely gorgeous, but I'm just done; can't take anymore.

Advice to the author would be this: you do renders well, so do what you do best and get a writer onboard with you who can write a good story and you'll be on a much better course.

v 0.12a

Renders are pretty amazing, but thats all thats good about this VN.

Inconsistent story, that is more confusing than anything.

A really childish MC who is in his twenties but acts like a 9-year-old and is entirely too dependent on his mommy and daddy, which is quite frankly cringe and pathetic.
in fact half the text in this VN is probably MC screaming for his mommy or daddy.
He's a giant simp for his "girlfriend" who he hasnt even met and is cheating on him.

He also is too prone to emotional outbursts, he doesnt know how to use his brain even if his life depended on it.


Clearly the dev's sole talent lies in creating renders, my advice would be to hire others to help make a story that can actually be enjoyed.

Edit: I kept playing for a bit more to see if it got any better, but it seems no matter what choices you do, the MC will always end up being a pawn by the goddess, i cant be bothered to keep playing this anymore.

This game is a swirling mess of confusion, for hours and for most of the game. At times, I just wanted to give up, I was so lost and confused and disappointed in the MC...but my index finger kept clicking...
It's dark and at times, it's midnight, with lust and shame scoring a surreptitious win over morality.
For me, the Devils were an annoyance, manipulating events that spiraled out of your control...and then blaming you for the consequences.
Rachel, who is supposedly central to the storyline is hardly ever seen, except in sordid memories of the protagonist.
You never know where you are in the game...sometimes you're in the present, and then something happens and you're suddenly in the past, only to flip into the future...and back again. Disjointed, confusing storytelling for sure.
Whilst the MC was a complete pervert, the characters were attractive and had a depth to them...obviously Selena had a major advantage over everyone else, which for me, was unfair on every other 'love interest' including Ella.
When it came to the crossroads and suddenly the MC had to take some responsibility for his life [manipulated life]...four options present themselves. I took the Selena route as I had bonded with Selena by that time...but the subsequent effect on other characters and ultimately, Ella herself was heartbreaking...more so because my father killed himself at 54 with a pills and alcohol overdose.
It's a dark game, I haven't tried the other paths yet...but this is a crossroads that has no happy endings.

Story is good, but there are certain areas where i would have loved to have more control over the characters actions. Especially with regards to fetishes. After all, when you involve succubi, it seems odd that there are so few things.
Also feels a bit like the options with Jason are a bit off. Not necessarily in the NTR part, but that you cant actually be happy for him when he finally gets his dream girl, even if you have feelings for her.
I get why you want to fuck everything, as you have been manipulated, but considering everything that is also present, it feels off that you cannot be more of a good friend towards everyone, in spite of the characters thoughts on matters. It just feels off.

However, the game is well made. Lots of story, and the 4 choices, including the "you can try, but the succubitch will try to mess it up more" is a great opportunity to have. I look forward to seeing the final product.
But PLEASE!! Put a bit more fetishes into this.

the game is absolutely not like the others. The author tried to work out the characters. It turned out to be quite hot and appropriate. This is a treasure trove among many games. Animation: 5\5. Plot and characters: 5\5
My respects to the author. I will support the project and will monitor it.

This is my first review for a game on this site because I'm not good at giving reviews so that is saying something about this game. The models are gorgeously done I find no faults in them. The story is wonderfully done with many plot twists each character sucks you in and you want them all which makes it a hard choice between going to USA or staying in UK. The animations are done very well most game creators solely focus on story which is fine, but animations puts the game on another level.

The only thing missing is actor voice overs and sound track, but that can be over looked. It also sounds like DeafPerv listens to his supporters, because they may include Madison as a LI it's being voted upon.

This is a really great game so far. I'm enjoying all of the path choices and character models. This game has a lot of my favorite subjects all in one place. I'm really looking forward to playing each path. Keep up the good work.

Pros:
1. Some of the renders are quite nice. The devil daughter is reasonably attractive though the hourglass form is a little over-the-top.
2. Story is... unique? Lot of magic and time-skips.
3. Sex scenes in later chapters are a decent mix, with a progression from solo to more group scenarios.
4. If you cheat and unlock the gallery, some of the scenes are reasonably well done with different stages to the sex and several threesomes with different characters.

Cons:
1. A lot of the renders are sub-par. Several of the love interests are unattractive and you're unable to avoid sleeping with them.
2. Sex scenes start too early and without enough setup. The game basically opens with sex but you don't have any reason to care about the people.
3. A troubling sameness to many of the love interests. Some are difficult to tell apart and most have nearly identical body types. Tractor tire breasts, tiny waists, massive asses. If that's your thing, you'll find it in spades here, but if you're into more variety, look elsewhere.
4. Sex scenes suffer from little to no buildup. Most sex scenes are started due to plot-related magic where you're enjoying a cup of coffee with a character you just met and the next moment you're balls-deep in her ass. Don't get me wrong. Anal is awesome, but there's a progression I've come to expect from visual novels where there's a build up to these kinds of events that you don't see in your everyday pornography. Sadly, many of the sex scenes are missing this build up, and as such the scenes don't "work" very well for me.
5. Plot is a convoluted mess. Others have gone on at length about this. Time skips and difficult-to-follow motivations for how characters act.
6. The NTR. It's now skippable, but I'm still puzzled as to why it's there at all. It doesn't seem to add anything to the plot.
7. Calling them love interests doesn't feel right. I never felt any real connection to the women, mostly because bedding them required little effort and almost no setup. There are plenty of holes you can fill, but love interests? Not really, no.

Final words: The spelling and grammar is good for a visual novel but the story itself needs a significant rewrite, and the "magic" that allows you to sleep with people needs to be more complex than "Oh, I was going to make us a sandwich but thanks to this magic spell I'm instead going to have a threesome with you and this devil woman." For example, rather than have them instantly want sex it could make them really horny, and then we could have dialogue explaining their thought process.

That's my two cents. May revisit this in a year or two to see how things end up, but for now there are betterVNs out there.

This game is pleasantly good. The women's looks are up my alley and turns me on so much, especially the gorgeous Selina and Veronica. Even MC's looks i find quite interesting and atractive, making me believe that these bunch of stuning women are lustfull for him. The supernatural plot is decently write and serve to the story and the different paths and branch add good replayability value.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this VN especially based off of the tags alone. What I experienced was probably the ultimate mindfuck that a story could deliver. Between the rapid jump in time and the constant reversal of time you can't trust your own judgement on what is currently going on present day.

The Pros
This VN has a lot going for it with an interesting enough concept that the plot revolves around. Even the wittiest of sleuths will have a hard time predicting the outcome of certain actions both early on and later in the story. The plot reveals itself just enough for you to begin feeling as though you might have a grip on the events unfolding, only for the author to reverse time through use of Lileva or Cherry.

The primary concept of time manipulation is used as indicator to the player that we're now viewing past events, however the execution also informs the player which of the two demonic characters is gaining the advantage. Depending on the choices you make, either Lileva or Cherry will reverse time in an attempt to gain a favorable outcome. As such, it can serve as an indication which of the characters will come out on top depending on which of the two is reversing time more often, so choose accordingly as eventually one of the two will overpower the other.

The character development is present and effective enough to give the player a sense of satisfaction as their choices begin to shape the people they'll encounter throughout the story. However do note that there are two main LI's that take center-stage more often than the others.

The Cons
The VN is far from finished as players will soon notice by placeholder models that are prevalent in most scenes. The latter half of the story does see an improvement as most models are finished, but take this as a general warning that the unfinished models do add a creepy factor to the overall experience.

Despite the story splitting into 4 main paths with 10 possible outcomes (currently, this may change with future updates), we as the player are limited in the choices we can make. The lack of input early on can prove especially frustrating as we slowly begin to understand that everything done during this time directly benefits the antagonist of the story. Despite this complaint, the complexity of the plot leaves little room for the dev to flesh out choices early on since the story revolves around a twist that occurs halfway through.

On the topic of choices, it should be noted that your first few choices give off the illusion of having an impact on the story, however once we hit the plot twist it's revealed that the choice we make here is the one that matters and will result in the split into 1 of the 4 main paths. The only outcome your initial choices have on the path is indicating which of the paths results in a "good" ending.

Final Deduction
This VN thoroughly impressed me despite some of the complaints outlined in the cons section. Even with the lack of polish this VN gets a solid 4 out of 5 primarily due to the unique integration of controlling time and clever method of conveying key information on the progress we're making as the MC.

It'll be exciting to experience the full story and explore the complex world this dev is creating!

play 0.11a with a french trad (which explains my poor written English, sorry)

story: 2/5 The story looks nice, but I don't know if it's due to the many changes in temporality at the beginning or to the translation (which is human and not automatic)
but I very quickly picked up to finally only make rapid advances

characters: 3/5 I don't really know, since I haven't read too much, I could hang on to none of them

sex scene: 5/5 well written and well done and good duration

renders: 3/5 I'm really not a fan of the "design" of the women in this game. The images are very often very (too) dark and the sets are minimalist

animation: 3/5 We start with a very beautiful one, then nothing for a long time, then very ugly ones, then again very beautiful ones, so it's really not constant, too bad

sound: none, very unfortunate

gameplay: 2/5 Really few choices and very "binary" little impression of importance

I'm kinda in the line with Seducing the Devil (0.11c version), with strong positive and negative things in it. The main thing is the story, I like strong complex stories and this one tries to be so, but they are hard to do for a reason and I'm not sure the game devs can pull it off. There are lots of jumps to the past and the future in the story, which is nice, but also there are constant dabblings by the devils and this makes most all characters just behave mostly randomly. I can't actually empathize or get interested in any of them as they are all just fuck toys in the hands of the deus exes pulling the strings, making it hard to care which way the story develops as I don't care about any of the characters.

Render and animation quality is very good, especially in the later chapters. On the bad side, there is no sound to be taken into the equation. But at least I didn't get any bugs, outside what I think were some tracking mistakes (references to scenes that hadn't happened, but then again, with all the memory wipes happening in the story, not sure if they were a mistake or just another one of those).

So, all in all, I'm on the cautious side in this one. If the story advances and manages to make those characters more human and interesting it can be very good, but if it stays like this it'll be just a quick skip-dialogue-for-fap kind of game. Which is a pity as it has a strong potential to be more, but I think the main 4-decision you have to take was a game designer mistake, it requires too much work to pull off correctly.

Seducing the devil is a game that is severely underrated. Its story is a mystery that each update reveals a little more of. Its cast sports an assortment of beautiful women (though none better than Veronica, in my opinion), and I'm sure you will find one you fancy over the rest. The game looks good, and I honestly can't recommend it enough.
