Ren'Py - Abandoned - SexNote [v0.23.0b] [JamLiz]

The game is pretty good but has some problems.

The art is really good, all characters look sexy and they look all very different, the art and animations in the sex scenes are also good it looks very bubbly which makes the characters more fuckable .There are some inconsitencies between different sprites but I don´t think they are bad.

The music is fine for a little while but gets annoying quick.

The story and writing is under average it´s still fine but not good.

The dialogue is also not really good and dirty talk is very boring.

The gameplay is sometime too grindy especially when you have to play bad minigames.
The sandbox design is okay in the buildings, but the map is awful you can´t really find your way around if you don´t know exactly where everything is which is bad design.

I also like that almost all characters are a parody of real or fictional characters.

[v0.20.5b review]

This is a generic school sandbox game. If you played other games in this genre like Summertime Saga, you know what to expect. There is nothing special that would raise this game above other similar games, the writing is average and the plot is just meh. The art may look good on the first glance, but after several scenes I started disliking it. The best word to describe the art and the animations would be "plastic". The scenes just don't seem alive and with each scene you become less and less turned on, the game quickly becomes boring. An average 3-star rating for an average game.

Top tier must have game. Only thing that comes close is summertime saga in terms of art quality like this. Other reviews are accurate in their cons, however it's still one of the best adult games I've ever played. The scenes, poses, kinks and characters are awesome.

I really like the animation style and good mixture of text vs. action. The game has decent length and at all the h-scenes are animated. There are different kind of kinks, so also good in that regard. What I didn't like so much is grindiness in some quests/chars (Lydia and Jade in particular) and repetitive content in general (often the same scenario - you have to come to some place X times, always with very similar dialogue to get one step forward with the character).
Overal a decent 4 and I will def. play again after couple of updates.

tremendous 2d animated porn that has a few QOL issues that keep it from being a 5 star game.

First the art is great. The heavily stylized aesthetic and prevalence of bimbo types may turn some off, but the art is clean an nice to look at and the animations are excellent. The depiction of fluids is especially well done. It's over the top but that matches the rest of the art style and the overall feel of the game anyway.

The porn here is very good, there's incest if you are into that and it's pretty well done and the dirty talk incorporates it as well, which is always a plus
The narrative and writing are passable, no particular issues but there isn't anything super engaging or novel here. That's not to say all the characters are completely flat and uninteresting, just that they aren't top notch.

now for the issues:

the game play is pretty annoying, without the cheats filling up magic and buying spells would probably be pretty tedious. The real killer here though is that 90% of the tasks are in the afternoon and with 15+ LIs to do tasks for you are doing one thing a day (a day which has 4 open time slots) and then sleeping and then waiting to get to the afternoon of the next day to do another task.
It's absurd, annoying and poor game design. I'm not sure if it's even something the dev could fix at this point, but it's a pretty major knock on the game imo.

The game also doesn't have rollback natively enabled, which is pretty annoying as well. This is pretty easily fixed though so not as big a deal.

The only other thing that is more of an oddity than a real negative is the character's inspiration being taken from actual pornstars. I personally would have preferred something a bit more original and the parody nature of it didn't do very much for me, but it didn't bother me really either.

Overall there is some great 2d porn here that isn't particularly difficult to access with the cheats, despite some pretty frustrating design choices by the dev. Recommended for pretty much everyone espeically for those that like, incest, MILFs and bimbos

This game was pretty good overall. Probably my favourite in this art style, looks great. The inconsistent quality in the animation scenes were a let down at times but overall was still hot.
Only gripes were the and Jane's late content, wasn't loving that bit. Also the fact that MC has magic powers that don't really get used for the majority of the game. Either way the mini games aren't bad so enjoyable game overall.

+++ The best art I've seen in a game
++ Sex scenes are easy to find
++ In built walkthrough
- Repetitive animations
- Terrible writing/narrative - entirely skippable
- Irritating soundtrack with no other audio

Sexnote is not much of a game, it's more of a scenario generator - where all the scenarios involve extremely busty women sucking your dick. The art is amazing and super consistent, moreso than most games on this site. I had to abandon the game for now as I have a bug after the ritual that makes the prologue repeat over and over, but am definitely looking forward to more updates.

Incredibly inconsistent art (during the animations). The sprites themselves are very good, but you could only wish the animations themselves were like that. Most animations are largely subpar, and even the gameplay itself is incredibly grindy and unoriginal.

I just finished the game from start to finish v(0.20) and it was definitely a pleasant experience.

Only gripes I had were:
Sometimes there is no real build up to the sex.
Cum flying everywhere but nobody even thinks about pregnancy.
A lot of grammatical errors in the text, especially in the later half of the game.
The main point of the game (Note) getting irrelevant really early on.

I will chuck these up to being an early access game.

It's definitely worth a play, especially if you liked Summertime Sage or are looking for a game close to it.

As far a porn game goes, this is as good as gold. Don't expect some Brandon Sanderson level writing, that's not what you're here for nor what the devs promise to deliver. What you can expect though, are pretty lewd scenes with a large cast with many characters fairly fleshed out, without entirely compromising on the overall plot. Looking forward to play future updates. Given enough time I'm fairly sure this one will be an f95 classic

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
