VN - Ren'Py - Shroud [v0.2.5] [KEXBOY]

As a fan of everything steampunk I was really really happy to find this one, the banner immediately got me interested.
But as so often is the case with these things the happiness dissipated just a few minutes after starting the game.
As soon as you start the game before even beginning to play and you try looking at settings to get full screen mode you hit a wall it doesn't exist, Not untill you start a game and see the in-game menu at the bottom of the screen can you find an option named "screen" and this will let you enter fullscrene mode.
Fine I found it! not where I was expecting it but it's there at least.

Then you start playing the game and the second thing you try to immediately find is the setting to turn off the horrible voice. This one you find where you think it will be so now you feel all set to enjoy a possibly great game.

But the dissapointments just pile up, the pace of the story is slow. Then we have the lack of choices having a meningful impact on the story.
Graphics are good but far from great and i really hate that i have such a negative response to a game that could be amazing if done right.
The story is there but burried under piles of meaningless text and the scenery is ok but far from what the banner implicates.

I've been playing porn games forever, but this ain't one of them. This isn't a porn game. Heck, it's not even a game! At least not the first part. Hard to say I played anything, but damn, I listened and watched. In this part, there's no choices affecting the storyline, no need to search for stuff or do anything (except for the sex scene). I just kicked back and enjoyed the characters and how the plot unfolds. It's a classic straight-up visual novel, but I'm really hoping for more interactivity and varied gameplay in the second part. I'll be keeping an eye on this project—good luck, KEXBOY.

P.S.: Big thanks for the wind in my ears.
