Ren'Py - Abandoned - SexNote [v0.22.0a] [JamLiz]

One of the worst games I have played. So bad I am leaving my first ever rating. If you want no plot, and just want to watch a big boobied girl give a blowjob immediately after meeting the MC with no buildup or story, this is the game for you.

One of the best games i've ever played, the art and the animations are top tier and it's really easy to play since the game has a walktrough in it, the parody characters are amazingly well done and the story is nothing that incredible but it's good enough.

I appreciated the parodic mold from the point of view of the choice of characters as for the dialogues, not to mention the deliberately exaggerated and stereotyped graphics that work well overall.
I found the sex scenes monotonous and repetitive after a while as even the development of the different characters with the protagonist always follows the same tracks for most. So I would recommend characterizing the characters more and expanding the kink tags by developing them better. I would also make better use of the day-night cycle as most of the action to progress with relationships takes place all in the afternoon and this creates a boring narrative bottleneck.
otherwise a good game that can have interesting future developments if well managed.

It's not a bad game but the lack of variety starts killing it early on. Do you like blowjobs? That's good because it happens like 5000 times. Each scene is really just a static shot. It's ok but again while each one is different they only ever use one shot per scene.
There are dumb things in the game-the dream with the lesbo-dildo-titty fuck gets really old after the tenth time. Who cares about dream lesbo dildo sex? This leads to the end which is femdom crap with the stepmom. After playing through the whole game I didn't even finish it because of how dumb femdom is. I figured I would go through the humiliation and then the stepmom would come home and peg the mom. Again who cares? I missed the ending at school too which turned out to be fine as it was mmf apparently. Honestly so many devs don't seem to get that the audiences are totally different. Either make a game for one or the other-mixing them just pisses people off.

Lastly the art isn't bad. It's too bad that the ending was so crappy but most devs have that problem. It's worth a try if you don't care about the flaws too much.

This game is a masterclass, it has a great story and amazing fresh artwork that the develoer should be proud of, and the fact that new characters are being added all the time makes it even better as you can keep coming back to it, Good job

it's sad to see that this game becomes a simple rendering of animations, it doesn't have a plot, it doesn't have depth, it doesn't have triggers to trigger the sex scenes.. it's just little dialogue without any variation and animations... 5 animations per update without any variation or story.. grade 2 for plot and grade 7 for animations
I give 3 stars

as of 19.5 I cant recommend this game. not to say the game is terrible but the lack of sex sound makes it really hard to enjoy. if it were not for this lacking aspect I would give the game 5 stars but with years of development and no actualy change to this issue it feels like the game is always gonna be frustrating as no sex sounds keep it from being a perfect game.

Full disclosure, I got about half an hour into the game before I gave up.

So, in short, a rather pretty game (except MC who has a remarkably punchable face) with some gorgeous women... but held back by some of the worst writing I have seen that's still mostly grammatically correct.

I can only assume the writer isn't a native English speaker because the prose is noticeably wooden and stilted... Even for a porn game! It doesn't so much "flow" as "dribble". It's basically impossible for me to take any of the characters seriously with how "unreal" the dialogue in general feels. The constant, perpetual stock guitar music in the background did not help either until I muted it.

I don't usually care too much about the quality of writing in my porn games, but this was just too distracting to ignore. Now, again, I only got about half an hour into the game, and it's entirely possible that it gets better later into the game, but I just couldn't make it that far.

If writing quality is basically irrelevant to you, this is a pretty little gem of a game with some gorgeous art. If like me you just can't make it through a game where every piece of dialogue sounds like it comes from Google Translate, you should probably move on to something else.

This game has a lot of promise. Obviously you'll recognize a couple characters in the game but the animations, art and even the gameplay is really good. There's a good amount of side quests and events for the game even though it's still in development. There's some replayability in this game and covers a lot of different fetishes and characteristics you may be looking for.

I absolutely love this game, it has a great story and amazing fresh artwork that the develoer should be proud of, and the fact that new characters are being added all the time makes it even better as you can keep coming back to it, WELL DONE

Good game. The art style is very nice, the animations are great and the tits are huge. And that's all one really needs in the end. The gameplay is the usual renpy sanbox clickfest, but it doesn't bother me. There's some fun dialogue here and there, but the plot isn't exactly the reason to play this game.

Amazing game! Love the girls, love the animation, LOVE THE BOOBS!

I would love to give this game 5 stars, and if I could give 4.5 I would, but I have one small gripe: I feel like the MC progresses into sex with the girls too quickly. Personally, I prefer a slower progression and a little bit more plausible story behind it. Maybe some sneakiness... some peeking... she catches you in the shower and, much to her dismay, can't stop thinking about the cock... etc. However, many of the girls seem willing to just go straight for it.

Again though, love the game and look forward to more stuff from Jamliz!

Love the story, art and progression through the game. With a good in game progression system you never feel stuck. One of the few games that I found early in the making and have kept comming back to for every update. Now the creator is going to start a new game and I am excited for whatever they make.

I remember playing this years ago, and its come a long way. I have a lot to say about this game but I'll try to make my points as streamlined as possible.

Good:
-Art is really good and animations are smooth and fluid
-Lots of characters and locations
-Interesting story and premise
-Sandbox type game
-Hints make the story and what to do next very simple to follow
-Incest trope
-Features like rollback, gallery, skips, hints

Bad:
-All characters are big boobs, big ass body type, would be nice to have more diversity of bodies like small chested or smaller booty women
-Skills are kinda useless apart from being progression gates.
-Only 1 footjob scene in game and it is very bad.
-Not enough feet in view sex scenes
-Missing content for characters that have been there forever
-You progress with the mom too quick/ not enough scenes with her
-Body proportions are pretty ridiculous in this game
-The main story basically dissapears
-Writing can be pretty flat in parts.
-Some of the character faces are ugly
-Some women have big masculine type of bodies

Review written as of the 0.19 update

Beautiful art. Great interaction variety. I enjoyed the little minigames for some girls, except the camera focus one... It's the only game of this type that doesn't kill off the protagonist's dad. You get to fuck Hinata, Billie Eilish, and Belle Delphine in the same game, which admittedly isn't for me, but someone is probably overjoyed. Now for the issues...

Tutorial not restrictive enough. From the get-go I was tasked to go meet mom. I kept stumbling through the random doors in the house since I have no idea where she is. I accidentally left the house and couldn't find it again on the map. While looking for home, I accidentally stumbled into a random scene. And when I came back home I got into a different scripted scene. At the end, it took 3 in-game days to finally complete my first task.

Why is the map so realistic? I'd rather have ultra exaggerated icons but I could at least tell the houses apart. I'm 6 hours into the game, and I still visit my classmate instead of my grandma. And way too many areas are available from the beginning. Easing into areas one by one would work better as an introduction and also help with getting lost.

Overloaded afternoon. Like 90% of the game happens during afternoon, meaning you can usually only do 1 action per day and the rest of the day is just skipping to the next afternoon. Most buildings are locked for the weekend, so all of the weekend is another dead period you gotta just skip through. The dev seems to have realized this as well, since later events are more spread out, but the early game still feels uneven.

Even with a quick bed button, skipping time is quite a chore. The game should have definitely allowed skipping time through the map. I currently have to either chat with a girl in hope her dialogue actually skips time or crawl to bed just to go back to my objective 10 seconds later.

The unlocking requirements for advancing with girls can be obtuse. This is more of a nitpick, as the hint system is just wonderful. It would be nice to unlock the list of girls more gradually as to not be overwhelmed, but it is what it is.

The skill system is awkward. 3 skills are just for grinding, which is a slog in the early game, and then hits the breaks midway through the game where you can forget about these skills completely. Makes the grind feel very uneven. The 4th skill is a dialogue skill check, which is only used once, in an admittedly nice scenario, but as it never shows up again, it feels like a waste of the dev's efforts.

The 1st skill also works as a nude filter, which is great, but I honestly feel like we hit the ending too fast. We get access to full nudity early, and get bored of it quite fast. A suggested spreadout from me would be clothed -> semitransparent outer layer -> clear underwear -> semitransparent underwear -> nude. And on unlocking nude, the nude vision and all other visions should be possible to set permanently for everyone instead of selecting each character one by one for a 1 second line.

Cum button is moved. When you go through any sex scene, the game allows you to enjoy different animation speeds before allowing you to watch the nut. The choice order is always Faster -> Slower -> Repeat. These are great. You then have to gradually speed up in order to nut and advance. However when the nut button shows up, the order becomes Slower -> Nut -> Repeat. And as I click through, I always pick the slower option, having to then speed up again, and maybe repeat a few cycles before actually advancing. I can't imagine this being a purely me problem, and I do believe the game would benefit a lot from the options simply staying consistent.

Admittedly the positives heavily outweigh the negatives, but the negatives come crashing into your gameplay experience so much, it can be unnecessarily frustrating. Will keep playing, but also keep complaining.

Very solid, quality hand drawn art and fun premise. Patreon seems consistent with updates as well. If you are a fan of anime and some Japanese games this might be for you. Check it out, this review was done on the .18 version

This is a good game with great art.
Unfortunately, I have two issues with this game.
1. Too many events take place during the afternoon
2. Almost all the morning events take up the afternoon slot also making it become the evening instantly.

UNAVOIDABLE FEMDOM ruined it at the end of the update for me. I was enjoying till the end, i was hoping the tables will turn any moment now when interacting with stepmother but nothing of sort happened.
MC as the game is progressing acting like a mega bitch and i ain't lying, not that he was any different at the beginning but now apart from having 15 feet dick he doesn't have that kinda personality to back it up. It's like he's one walking dildo and I'm getting the impression that game was supposed to be all female game so that they can use him however they wish.

good game with solid 4.7 stars. if u like good art, some sandbox and huge xxx scenes amount- my recomendation

The game is definitely good.
Gameplay is fine. Animations are good and the art has it's own style.
What I really dislike about games like this, that developers are milking Patreon.
The game is in development for years and a lot of Content is still missing.
