VN - Ren'Py - Shadows [v0.7] [Vicxlose]

[Initial impressions for v0.4. Subject to change in the future]

TLDR:
Looking for a quality turbo-fappalloogi? Look no further. You are home, son.

A bit more context:
A good game must have a well-defined identity and remain true to it, regardless of what that identity is.
Not all games are meant to be slow burners or contain philosophical discussions about the meaning of relationships or romance.
This game knows what it is here to do and commits to its outrageous premise and theme.

This is a game about a dude who enters a mansion and subsequently mounts any person he happens to see in that mansion. And of course some fetishes are involved. Oh, and did I forget to mention he is a detective who's supposed to solve a missing person's case? And also there's some psychological inception shenanigans?

Conclusion:
This game has it all. Good quality and great proportions (I'm clearly biased). I recommend it strongly. I find it hard to find any reason not to give this a full mark.

Alright, so the models are extreme, but high quality, the writing is remarkably competent and the fetishes are way out there, just the way I like it...

But the fucking body horror segments - it is definitely not cool having anatomical horror thrust upon you without warning - it feels ridiculous attempting to make this point for a game where people voluntarily get fisted, choked and rammed with horse dildoes, but there is actual purpose to having a disclaimer!

The review is 1/5 not because of bad content - on the contrary, this title is very competently made - but because the dev/writer is so into their story that they lost track of the fact that others might not be into eyeballs popping out of assholes without warning.

The design of everything in the game is too bad. Huge jugs, lactation, too short scenes.. The game is desperately trying, they brought in incest, traps, anal, but it’s too mediocre anyway, no chance.

If it’s anal, then even the youngest daughter in this family is sure to have it so messed up that no imagination is enough to narrow her ass down.

**I have to say right off the bat that if you were interested in the loli tag and/or trap tag only, run away screaming**
Version reviewed: 0.4

Overall, this whole inflated/bimbofication thing is not my cup of tea. That said I have to appreciate multiple things from this VN.
Graphics/Visuals: The renders are very high quality and there are lots of animations.
Plot: It definitely earns some points for originality. There is some really crazy shit going on. Hard to say more without spoilers, but I can guarantee you won't feel deja vu.
Lewd content: On the extreme side. No relationships to speak of. Everyone is just cool with randomly fucking all over the house. I can see how it works with the plot on this one, just be aware.
Characters: As others have said, there is one loli and one smol trap, but the content is mostly bloated bimbo milf types.

Honestly not much to praise about this game.
If you're into the bimbo sluts and/or the fuckdoll type, this game might be well suited for you. I was in a mood for this type of game and fucking a trap (with a blowhob from a second) wasn't bothering me too much - I mean yeah they're also optional as it seems so that's also a plus for one who doesn't enjoy them.

The style of the game however is awful. Random shots of focusing on specific body parts or objects might be a preferred style to indicate something there is important, but having it pop up at least twice in every scene is annoying.

We are said to be looking for a missing woman yet we did nothing so far instead of asking a few questions. No looking through the mansion? We put more effort into looking for Marissa which also was weird.
What was the whole deal with Marissa's disappearance anyway and why was Brianna the one with the key? Why are we allowing Beatrix to steal our gun and not do anything? What is the deal with the dark chamber? For something that's being promoted on the F95 header and the main menu, it sure does have no real explanation as of now.

I honestly was hoping for more scenes in the dark chamber that will actually have some understanding but what we got was disappointing.

One of my favourites games from this site.
What i liked about this game:
- Great Renders/animations
- actually interesting story, so you dont just skip to the sex scenes 24/7
- distinct characters in personality and body type
- alot of differrent kinks available ( even though i dont like the trap)

Things i didnt like / wanna see:
- sex scenes are a bit short/ one dimensional ( only 1-2 position/angle per scene with little dialog )
- The girls being more promiscuous, since they are already corrupted from the start and dont actually have any romantic interest in the mc ( personnel preference)

Overal still a 5* game since the quality is really good.

This is a magical game.
Each girl has a unique personality and appearance, and is highly recognizable.
With a rich expression, the player can feel the emotions of the character from the details.
With a great story, one of the few games that caught my eye early on and made me look forward to the story.
The sex scenes are direct and unique, with both homosexual and SM plots using unusual expressions.
The game uses a new rendering technology, and the amazing images of the girls are something that I will never forget in the future.

Yeah I agree with the rest of these reviews. This already has some great scenes without the obnoxious amount of text between them that too many other games suffer from.

There's a story here which is kind of intriguing and plenty of kinks already present with many more clearly on the horizon. Cannot wait to see this game at a more developed stage but in the meanwhile it's worth checking out - probably 30 mins to an hour of quality content here waiting for you to see... you pervs.

This game (as of 0.3) is so well done. I don't want to spoil anything, but this has the right mix of madness, mystery and manhood. Love the pacing and the animations. I believe there are atleast two paths in the story. Wonder how they'll unfold. Looking forward to the next update.

Hands down, one of the best games I've ever played in this site.

Unique storyline, well written dialogues, fantastic renders and great animations. Everything about this game is perfect. Keep up the good work dev.

Animation: Stellar, tip top tier
Story: I'm sensing a wild storyline coming our way based on whats already happened.
Scripting: So far the dialogue flows well and they talk like actual people (albeit some more sexually charged then others)
This game has plenty of potential. The wide range of fetishes and dialogue options are a testament to their creativity. I hope the developer continues to post updates, if they remain consistent in their creative output I would support them further.

I beg you update quickly! I cannot wait to play the new content!
I love their big tits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please add more content about bdsm,which l love so much.
Rubber suits and sex toys could be added as more as possible.

The game is good and unique in it's niche. It has kinks and pervy graphics, the plot is quite original. It's also mysterious and a little scary. There isn't a lot of content rn, but the author creates steadily

The game is short right now, only 3 chapters but the visuals were perfect for me. If you like big T&A, and good animations then I think this will work for you. There is trap stuff, but if you don't like that then this game might not be for you. The game is very linear right now, with little branching. I am personally ok with that, but if you want more choices and directions maybe wait. Every now and then characters break the 4th wall, and I found that humorous. Really looking forward to more of this game.

Nothing for the faint hearted.
A game with a lot of "extreme" kinks, and there's more to come, according to the author. Among all those samey vanilla games here on this platform, Shadows is some fresh air in the adult game genre.

Storywise it's very film noir, clouded in mystery and that's a good thing.
How the story gets unraveled, we will have to see in future updates, but for now I'm cautiously intrigued.

It has great quality renders and more important, the author knows how to place the camera in a scene.

People who likes it extrem in terms of body proportion and fetish, have found a gem in here!
Me personally I love the anal focus and trap content.
I hope a futa/trans tag is coming in the future.

All in all a great start for the authors first game.

Maybe some of the best renders I've seen for a while and decent animation. Big fan of the crazy story, and excited of where the developer will take it.

There isn't much content yet (including 0.3). I hope that the work of making animations does not take up the bulk of content making. I would rather have more content and longer scenes than one animation from two angles.

My favorites so far:
- The maid is fantastic.
- The scenes with the youngest daughter.

Keep up the great work!

Love the art and the animation. I was expecting no futa for once but I love the anal focus here. The fucked up story is adding more spice.

The only downsides I can see are :
- Maid and mistress bodies are a bit too similar but I love the "aging" of the skins and curves
- Difficult to see the direct impact on choices but thats an open door for replayability

Keep up the good work !

Don't let the small file size fool you, this has more content and action than half the games on this site. One of my new favorites , renders are excellent but even more so intriguing plot that I want to find out what happens next, couple that with scenes that are not the same vanilla stuff we have seen many time before, i really like the bimbo gothic aesthetics of the setting. Great to see this is author's first work and its a solid start, 3 good chapters with tons of content. Good to find a new developer to support, if you got money to spare, throw it at this author instead of games that have 10k $ monthly on patreon but updates there game every 6 month and everytime its a small update.

Very hot game if you're into some more extreme fetishes. Not a lot of content right now (you can play through it in probably an hour or less) but has solid potential. The models look good, the scenes are hot.

The pacing is a bit weird, as your character is more than ready to stick his dick in crazy right from the get-go but are we not all willing to stick our dick in crazy a time or two? But to be fair, delaying the sexy stuff in a porn game is rarely ever done well, so I accept.

If you're not into some darker things (and from the planned tags some freaking wild things) this may not be for you. But I thought it was great, 10/10 would nut again.

(edited to add this review is for 0.3)

This project got my attention. Primary, I like the vibe and characters. Oversized boobs is bit extra to me, but it may click with someone's taste, while it does not bother me much. Story pace is good, and sex scenes do not look rushed as game mystery develops. Some choices, are not well connected, and you may read some reference to thing that was not observed along play. Still, I like details, mimic and charisma of characters. I feel it got good balance of mature vs young and same telegraphs trough scenes available. Overall, five star, and looking forward for new chapters.
