Ren'Py - Abandoned - Sexus Resort [v0.6.4 Public] [Mermaid Broth]

5/10, rounded up to 3 stars. If I had to pick one word to describe this game it would be "unambitious".

Despite the middling score I would still wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly if you're fond of the sex scenes in Ren'Py games.



The reason I call this game unambitious is because as I said, the girls here are all really likeable. The setting itself is fun and I feel like the developer could've pushed things just a little bit further and had a real gem here, if only you could build a relationship with the girls individually and got to see them interact a bit through a structured story, have some actual conversations with them.

I'm not talking anything super complex here, but it definitely feels like this game had the potential to be more than it is. The point's moot now since the game is abandoned, but still.

Good game, too bad its dead
Artstyle is good
Abit of slough sometimes for getting cg and figuring out what you missed
Characters are different, didn't hate on them
No audio kinda sucks but the other stuff support it enough to ignore it
Decent animations
Wish there was more, it is what it is.

Not good.

The story is very rushed and the MC isn´t reacting at all to the situation he is thrown into, but the concept of managing a resort with girls from different dimensions is good for a porn game.

The models look good.

The dialogue is boring and repetitive.

The gameplay is grindy and doesn´t feel rewarding.

The music is very boring and gets annoying quick.

The sex animations are good but I wish there were sex sounds.

And it feels very unfinised and will never feel finished because it´s abadoned.

The characters are also way too easy to have sex with and it doesn´t feel like they are characters just sex objects.


Wouldn´t recommend there is nothing special.

Just another game that a developer started, then decided that they would not finish. It was a solid story with good renders and it was interesting. but, the developer was not in it for the long haul. It was severely disappointing that this game has been abandoned.

for the most part the 3d art is good looking
the game is somewhat grindy.

the plot is very threadbare. a bunch of things are implied without being explained, and there is very little actual dialog.
it is mostly just "grind affection. then fuck girl"
you get hired as a bellhop. but then suddenly out of nowhere you are treated as the resort owner? what is going on here?

There are also some inconsistencies. the moment you meet the succubus she immedialy jumps you and fucks you. but next time you meet you can ask her to show you her tits and she threatens to castrate you. because your starting affection is 0 and you need to grind some affection with her before she becomes receptive to advances.

to help pad out the nonexistent plot you have missions where you can repeatedly hop over to another world, play a minigame, and then get rewarded with sex and "money" (magical energy produced via sex).

the game also handles fetishes poorly. for example futa (hermaphrodie) is sprung on you by surprise. you do a repeadable mission and if you get the best result in minigame you have a scene where you do a 4some. you plus 3 female orcs. except one of them suddenly surprises you by having a dick. and i mean literally a surprise.

> game shows swig naked as a full female
> swig: "I hope you're ready to experience the rare thir orc gender..."
> game cuts to a different picture. now swig has cock and balls. surprise! swig was a hermaphrodite all along.

I blieve the implication was that swig always had a cock and you just didn't notice. you automatically proceed to fuck swig.
zero indication ahead of time that this was going to happen, no skip option, just one big surprise.
You can't just surprise players like that. Informed consent is a thing.

Story- VN sandbox with a story for each character, at the time I played there was minimal overarching plot and very little overlap between the character’s stories. Each is a serviceable little romance, but they all get hot and heavy almost immediately.
Originality- Has a couple of genuinely rare character parodies
Art- Good quality consistent renders with a lot of variety
Sound- Unobtrusive and minimal
Voice Acting- N/A
Mechanics- Straightforward sandbox VN
Animations- Acceptable animations that need better transitions
Bugs- None I encountered
Amount of content- Seems to get updated regularly, at the time of play only had a few hours of content spread amongst the characters
Subjective stuff- No incest is a plus, but might be too vanilla for some
Recommend playing- Yes
Recommend Supporting- Yes

Crazily underrated in my opinion.

True, the story is not amazing and still kinda WIP, it is basically just there to give you sex scenes. But that can also be a good thing. Even if the story is good I don't exactly want to read through tons of important dialogues just to jerk off.

Honestly I enjoy the diverse character cast the game has to offer. Every character feels and looks unique, the models themselves are amazing and the sex scenes are really damn good. The sandbox system is still a bit wonky, but I don't mind.

Characters are cute. Faces are a bit wonky.

It's too on the nose, where the f is build up,tho? "Foreplay?" Cuddles? Oh, GOD! Hand holding? Anything?! WHERE? THE? F? IS? BUILD UP?!
Oh! Btw, I love how Cindy just drops MC's pants and jerks him off without any repercussions from his side (like if any random bitch from the street tries to do the same, all she's getting is fist sandwitch, a normal reaction from ANYONE with at least half-functioning brain, if you ask me) but if we ask her to show him her tits, she threatens to rip his dick off ...wtf?

Great models and I'm sure great animated sex scenes, but the sandbox part of this game blows so much that it drops it down to 3 stars and I'm not going back to it. Literally took me like an hour to find a stupid piece I needed to click in the beach section.

The theme of the game is nothing unique...a guy now owns or works for a resort/hotel with all other residents and staff being female who he can have fun with...But the game still manages to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience so overall I enjoyed playing it

Good
- The story here is to facilitate sex scenes with the girls ans so for that it does its job
- The renders feel really nice maybe due to the sharpness on the renders
- The characters are unique and felt nice to interact with

Bad
- Some events trigger way before their intended time (Eg. C.o.C reception in the VB Taskboard)
- Characters are in 2-3 loactions sometimes so hard to know where to interact with them to complete the quest
- The bg music restarts every time we back out of the menu
- Transitions between sex scenes feel abrupt and thus need more transitional renders
- Renders are good but the same can't be said for flavor texts...the dev needs to up his game for this one

Suggestions
- The see-through render of mc should really be changed to a body one with maybe a different angle to show the scene better....or maybe even have it so the transparent color is mc's skin color and the dick is actually shown so it feels like a sex scene instead of girls twerking or having a stroke
- Sex scenes need a good music, having bg music during the gameplay but silence during the sex scenes isn't great

I'm giving this game a 5/5 mainly for its excellent animations and art style, they are really incredible and I hope this game gets some more popularity. The story is nice, the girls you meet in the game are very very hot and the animations are really well crafted, which makes this a fantastic lewd game.

My only issue with it is the grindy bits needed to progress with girls at certain points. You need to get closer to them by doing the same actions over and over until you are close enough to unlock the next part of their story. That grind and repetition are the weak point of this game and I hope the dev will reduce the amount of grind in future updates.

Despite that, it's a great game that's certainly worth playing.

A real hidden gem. Well-made and well-written. Strongly recommend.

PROS:

• Awesome variety of characters, looks, styles
• Great animations
• Interesting and novel setting
• The game elements are fun - earning VB and expanding the resort
• Well-written with good grammar and interesting dialogue

CONS:

• A few rough edges - not all dialogue options are compatible so you sometimes wind up with strange conversations
• Only two bulletin board tasks, and one - the eye-spy game - has the same puzzle every time

Overall, the criticisms are minor and don't impair the enjoyment of the game. It's in an early state but it's already got a lot to recommend it. 4.5 stars, but I'll round up to 5.

A 3 that I wouldn't be surprised if I end up needing to review it again and bumping it up as it grows.
The renders are a solid pro (the cow girl and lactation is tops IMO, more of that and I'll have to give it a 4 on principal, but the busty redhead is a good 2nd with no girl unattractive). I think it's got some fun concepts and okay story.
It does lose me a bit in playing it, it feels... almost like the world and effort is being built too big and too much for the amount of content. This might change with time though, if it adds reward faster than it adds size and grind.
I don't see myself ever giving it a 5, it's just more play intensive than I like in my porn games, and mini games ugh (you can skip but for reduced points), but I'm going to keep an eye on it. I suspect as it adds more content it will feel a little more balanced effort for reward and I'll go with a 4.
Edit: I decided to bump to a 4 now, I'm not totally sold on the WT/hint system yet but it effort was made for it to even be there and when games do that that's always worth an extra half point or so.
Wish list: A solid scene replay gallery and tracker. When there's a game of a decent size with multiple girls and scenes, I like to know what I've got and what I've missed... lol and be able to see favorites again on demand.

Very nice game
Like someone already said the idea of increasing the resort by increasing the ViBes is very nice and unique!
Looking forward to more areas, more VB Quests, more Co-Workers, and more Clients!

This is a very fun and interesting harem hotel game. While there a number being made already, this one does offer a very interesting take on the format, where the characters are from different dimensions; meaning that future guests to the current build can be very unique (which is saying something already, as some of the current character models and back stories haven't been in similar designed games I have played).

The renders are very nice, and though the animations are not complex, they are executed very well (little to no lag, as realistic as non-realistic characters can be). Overall, they are very elegant.

The storyline so far is fairly simple to follow, but not boring by any stretch of the imagination. There are also extras in place that'll make any gamer and/or film nut enjoyable.

Great game, all the characters are pretty interesting. Cindy was the best imo, then the update came and now its the princess. I'm a patron now and I look forward to the great updates! Keep it up the great work!

A fun little game so far! Love the idea of increasing the resort by increasing the ViBes with the Ladies coming in! For a first release, not to shabby! Looking forward to more areas, more VB Quests, more Co-Workers, and more Clients!

Lacking lots of content, as shallow is a puppies piss puddle. I realize it's very early on but why even put this out there wish such little content. The graphics are decent and so is the animation, it shows promise but right now it's just boring.

Good Points
+Girls looks hot.
+Renders looks good for first relaise. If DEV makes them better with every update it could be realy good.
+DEV is not sexsual content stingy. We have (Except keeper) 2 sex scenes for per character for first relaise.

Bad Points
-Plot was empty and adding interesting some details about story could be good.
-You should sepereta Sound and Music so we can close music without closing all sounds.
-Demon's tail looks weird. Its too thick and long. It should be more thin and small. Its even more bigger than her leg thickness. You should definitly change that.
-Mermaid's face need rework. It looks pretty unattractive...
-For getting scenes with girls we need make grind... Yes its boring like always. You should comptletly remove grind or make less. Its kills the enjoyament of game.
-Sex animations has good physics but sex scenes need more angles espacily good ones. Right now this angles dont look sexy or good enough.

For The End
Normaly i will give 4 star this game but i dont want give with that amount of grind. If DEV change bad points and makes this game better i will edit my rewiew with new update. I hope he will manage and gets support for this game. Because game has potencial.
