VN - Ren'Py - Shadows of Ambition [Ch.3.1] [AbyssGames]

Unfortunately, the game is limited, as the Dev himself wrote, it is a kinetic, therefore, zero interactions, the Dev asks for consigni, but I find it a mistake, in a kinetic he must go on his way, because he would find himself in front of a thousand different styles, in a game with interaction, perhaps, some suggestions would be useful, I give 3 stars for the moment because the project is not finished, therefore, without a completed work, it is not very correct to exorcism an entire concept, I can only recommend to stick to his original idea, at least in this project, he cannot please everyone. Good Work

I absolutely loved the writing, especially the way the characters developed and started their journeys—Luke and Alice stood out the most for me. The renders were outstanding, adding so much depth to the story and making every scene truly captivating. Highly recommend this game!

Really great start to a project, taking inspiration from others of course but very much has its own feel. The game is AI art based but that is very much not as much of a shortcut to quality as some may think and so is nonetheless admirable. Look forward to seeing how it develops over time.

Version: Ch2

HISTORY: 4/5
CHARACTERS: 5/5
ART: 5/5


You're a guy, moving to the city where your Online Girlfriend lives. There you meet her, and realize that she's pretty hot. You live in a place, where both the landlady and your neighbor are hot women. You girlfriend also has a pretty hot friend, who is supposedly known for stealing her "boyfriends" in the past.

So, who are you? You're just a guy in this world getting tempted by all sides and almost every woman that pops in your screen, with the additional details that you might also be able to encourage your girlfriend to dress and behave slutty, probably making it possibly to see some hotwife/cheating content in the next updates.



My personal opinion about these cheating/hotwife stuff is kinda negative, it's simply not my pick. But I enjoyed the game because it allows you to be with your girl and other girls while not being a complete loser cuck. That's a good point.

As for the art, this game's art is really good. It's one of the "becoming common" cases of AI art used right. Characters look hot, sexy scenes are well done, scenarios are looking fine.

For what it seems, the DEV decided to make the characters have their own specific tastes, ways to communicate, kinks, making them alive and different. That's very important, as it frees you from that impression of "fucking the same thing but with different bodies". The girls are different from each other, each of them will surely develop different, acquire different tastes and kinks, relate differently. That's very important, immersive.

Overall, I had a great time playing this game and I'm looking forward for the next updates.

When I played the first chapter, I was going to give this 2-3 stars maximum.
It seemed like your generic NTS game, however after playing chapter 2, I have started to like this game. The art is good, I like the style and I like the attention to detail. I tend to stare at the CG's for a pretty long time for... obvious reasons and was honestly impressed with how little artifacts I was able to spot. Some slipped through the cracks, but way lower than what I expected.

I like the characters so far, Kate and Sophie have to be my favorite. I wonder what routes they'll be taking. A bit sad this has no multiple paths per character, but overall, I think the dev is taking this game in the right direction and it looks like it'll get its third update in 2 months?

I like not having to wait too long for new content, so that's a big plus.

Keep up the good work!

A beautiful game. The story is good enough, the gameplay is ok nothing new on it, the art is very well done and the girls, damn, hot asf. The narrative has a good flow and the characters have a nice personality.
5 stars!

Renders are fantastic and the story is shaping up quite nicely so far. More NTS is always good

Loved getting more of a glimpse into Alice's personality last chapter and excited to see how it develops down the line.

The Kate scene last chapter was super hot, definitely left me craving more. Wished more could happen there, but can't really think of how that would go with where the story is currently so gonna leave it at that More Kate!

The Alice / Luke scene at the end was great too. Seems to me like the the stage is pretty much set for the actual NTS play to start up next chapter which I am super excited to see.

The first chapter was a bit on the shorter end, but for me it left me excited to see more. Did its job of establishing the setting and what I presume will be the main characters quite nicely.

Curious to see how the NTS genre will be approached here and if it will be more stranger focused or if more reoccurring male characters will be introduced.

It's just a straight-up copy of a similar game
They only changed the models
Even the character relationships are the same!
Heck, even the way the MC lies down on the bed and sleeps is a copy of a similar game!!
and so on

The writing is weak
The relationships are shallow and one-dimensional
The characters' personalities barely have any real differences; they all feel too similar
The art has proportion issues—for example, the FMC’s butt size isn’t consistent throughout the game
and so on

Very well done. The renders are amazing and look very clean. The story has a lot of potential too. It's a good thing its similar to MNGF coz I love that art style. And there are subtle differences which people paying attention will notice. Looking forward to the future updates.

Very promising game.

Art is top tier and characters are hot. Can't wait to see more of Kate.

The story seems to be going a classic NTS corruption route, which I am a big fan of.

Looking forward to next chapter

Review of Chapter 2:

If you like teasing and sharing, then this is the ideal game for you to play! The art is great and pretty consistent, the music and audio makes the immersion perfect with the scenes you're playing, some misspells and missed punctuations that doesn't lower the rating because it can be fixed.

The characters are very well made, each one of them with their unique personality, and I can't wait to see how they will develop in the future!

Congrats to the Dev for making his first game, I hope this is the start of a beautiful journey!

Great first chapter to set the tone, a very attractive style to look at and a story that has some potential for great content for sure.

Comparisons to MNGF are obvious, but as long as the content and characters stay unique and thrilling enough the comparison can only be a good thing.

It's just 10 minutes of quite generic and unbelievable story. When i read "Today I'll finally meet my girlfriend in person" I started to wonder wtf is this, but when they just "accidentally" met each other I just turned this off. It's not worth it. Quite good AI art though.

It's a good game. The market for AI art netorase games feels a bit watered down right now, but this one offers a really unique and attractive main girl which is always a plus. The style seems similar to My New Girlfriend, which is making waves in the genre, and it doesn't have any glaring flaws. For now, I'd rate this game 4/5 stars, but it could still get a lot better or a lot worse depending on how the dev continues to update the game.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Alice and Kate though, as with 15-20 minutes of story, I'm already sold on both.
