VN - Ren'Py - Shut Up and Dance [Ep.6 RE SE] [Boring Games]

No clue why this is so highly rated, but it's honestly terrible. Sure, the LIs are hot and they look unique, but that's about the only good thing it has.

First off, there's a story there, but it moves at a snail's pace. It takes two renders and some dialogue in between large sessions of relationship building that are about as bad as the story itself.

The characters are all badly characterized and boring. The worst of them is the MC. If you like playing as a manchild, then you might like it, otherwise you'll have to put up with an idiotic MC who is an adult but acts like a child.

The MC's only thoughts are about how to fuck his mother and sister and they know it and treat him like a creep for it. Obviously, he is a creep and he deserves it, but it is not fun to play as him. Aside from being a creep, he creepily acts like an actual child sometimes. With things like "Ugh, but mooooom," so you can imagine it's filled with cringeworthy moments.

He has some mind control powers, which he almost never uses. This made me suspect the only purpose of including this power in the game was to set up the inciting incident.

There's an entire beach scene with the mother and sister throwing shade at the MC and he does nothing but prove them right and go straight to being a creep.

Yet, as you probably have imagined, the LIs are hypocrites in how they acknowledge all of the MC's flaws and none of his strengths (because he doesn't have any) and then still jump at his dick for no reason.

Lastly, there are barely any choices. I think you can go for entire chapters without making a single choice and then you get to choose something like agreeing to buy weed for your cousin or ALSO agreeing to buy weed with a catch. The funny thing is that MC never specifies the catch and he just gets a kiss on the cheek. Suffices to say, the choices don't matter. There's only one that has a significant impact and it's about whether or not you want to share one of the LIs with this Jake.

In short, almost non-existent and boring story, creepy ass manchild MC, unlikeable LIs and unimportant choices.

Made it as far as chapter seven, part two before a narrative inconsistency irked me so much that I couldn't bring myself to continue. I won't go too in depth as to spare passers-by from potentially being spoiled - but a scene comes up that completely ignores some previously made choices and continuity.

I'm sure it's a bug, an error or a mistake of some kind and were I more enamoured with the game I might have swallowed my sour grapes and continued regardless. But disregarding this glaring oversight, the game was otherwise the very model of mediocrity imo anyway.

The writing was good, but not great.
Occasionally cringe, mostly bland - but serviceable .
The renders and models are good, the animations less so.
Music was muteable - best I can say about it.
Ain't much in the way of sfx but they overdo the Metal Gear 'alert' noise, it plays damn near if not literally every time a character is shocked or surprised.

Anyway - it's mostly just fine and perhaps some time in the future if they patch up the continuity error I'll give it another gander but right now I can't give it a firm recommendation. Check it out if you're short of options - like I said it's fine - but if you have other choices, this wouldn't be my first.

Ep 6 RE SE

tl;dr The game is okay-ish with a tendency of mindles fap material.

Story is there but really just a preminse for a fap around every corner.
Right of the bat MC is drooling over his mother and sister. Shortly into the game he gets his magical pills which i guess also work passively because if not, then every girl is just a mindles cock sleeve.

Everyone jumps at MC even if he is not using his "power" actively... Besides this, MC is kinda dumb as a brick. He wants to fuck his family but dont want to use his "power" on them because "they are my family - how can i even think about it"

There are hardly any choices at all. At some point i thought this is a kinetic novel with extra steps.

At some point i just started to skip the text because it was all the same cock drooling over MC the whole time.

+ music
+ great animations and beautiful renders
+ Megan
+ a lot of lewd scenes, most of them are very long
+ dirty talk is top notch
+ mc is ok, he is a liitle bit of a wimp sometimes but definitely not a total loser

- fucking annoying Jake
- love route with Megan is pointless

avn it's more focused on lewd content instead of deep story with wall of text, it's good because this genre also need games like this. 5 stars from me, a real gem

I have nothing else to say besides giving a five-star review .
Megan the Best！！！
This may be the best AVN I've ever played with.
I'm so stunned that I couldn't say a word and just addicted to it.

Good Renders and good models are about the only good thing this game has going for it. The story is laughably shallow and doesn't even attempt to make itself interesting. The villain is laughably pathetic and incompetent, he feels like a gag (Oh there's a dirty spot on my face let me just uncuff this person who I am holding hostage and whose father I killed and also has special powers he can use to instantly make me listen to any of his orders I'm sure he'll help me out then agree to go back to being hand-cuffed). The characters are 0 dimensional, they don't even follow traditional archetypes which would make them 1 dimensional no, they speak robotic with zero characterization. All of their dialogue is boring and unengaging, it follows a Character 1 says "Point A then Point B," then Character 2 "Responds to point A and B," format where characters respond to each other in the most impersonal way possible. Seriously, these characters are the farthest things from human I've ever seen, they are androids. There's absolutely no feeling of romance in this game, there's no connection between any character, the relationship between the MC and any character is shallow, no the relationship between every character in this game is shallow. The game completely focuses on progressing romance with terribly implemented h-scenes which are shoved in the players face with no development of the characters. The entirty of the mom's relationship which pretty much was the excuse to also start the sister's relationship all started with the stupidest and lazy plot line ever (tHe dOcToR rEcOmMaNdEd I jErK yOu oR eLsE yOu mIgHt fAiNt aGaIn), then the mom within a few day starts deep-throating him. Listen maybe I can accept jerking him off, I mean hundreds of years ago in Europe Nannies would give hand-jobs to young royals to help them fall asleep. But it suddenly turns into blowjobs, assrubs with literally 0 pushing from the self-insert blank slate MC. Then suddenly the game blue balls her for hours of gameplay because they had sEx and a mother shouldn't be doing that and the reality of the situation weighed in on her!!!! Of course the MC, who practically has no free-will (He seems to have no past, no likes and dislikes besides sexual things and pretty much is given quests on what to do throughout the day, he doesn't think for himself). The game pretty much consists of said questgiver like objectives (Party being held today, let's go to the beach at this time, date at this hour, we will fuck at this time exactly, we will go here today tomorrow go there). The MC never engages any of the events in his life they're just given to him usually by text. The game also has no comedy and no stakes. The dialogue of the sex-scenes is generic trash, it goes fuck me, you feel good, fuck me harder, I feel good, I'm cumming. It doesn't even bother explaining what's going on in the scene, characters teleport into new positions and continue on with the same dialogue. I had high hope for this game but was sadly dissapointed, I'm even more appalled that the Dev apparently remade all of these parts and this is what he came up with... Well better luck on your next project, at the very least the renders and characters looked good and the animations were decent.

I dont uynderstand the ratings if this game. I gotta admit that the colors and the lighting are quite good, like below the top tier and im not going to question the work behind it, but I dont think the result is that good.

STORY:
The story is about a guy whose father died a long time ago? (Nobody is wearing black) leaving his family in a tight situation to the point that the bank send a debt collector. I dont know in fantasy world but in my country even if a nurse comes to your house she will remain at the door and ask "may I come in?" And we dont have guns here, the Constitution doesnt say that you can shoot whoever enters your property without verbal consent.

So this guy receives a visit from an ex co-worker, and this woman had to be his secretary or something cause her hairstyle is elaborate but that is the only thing of hers that would make her look like the co-worker of a middle aged man.

The girl talks to the MC about a project of his father , and to access all the project data he has to get in a machine after taking some pills, These pills give some kind of passive aggressive superpowers, dont ask abot the science of how they work cause it doesnt make sense and there are momments where they work passively and moments where it requires activation.
Anyway, the MC lives with his ""Co-Habitants"" and has a very obvious fixation with the older one, a very verbalized passion for her. The desing of that woman is horrendous, is pretty much a mister potato porn milf, she looks super artificial an unatractive, it catters to a very specific fetish, but personnally there is not enough realism in her design to imagine in my head a real life representation of her. There are a couple of more balanced female characters, but those faces and hairstyles you have pretty much saw them already in other 2000 games, so nothing new.
As for the sexual content,I found the experience very formulaic and vanilla.
And the most annoying thing of alll: having to choose options that have 0,5% impact in the development of the story besides a couple of specific scenes where a branch actually happens. And as compensation you get all the characters in the game, which is pretty much a kinetic novel.
The "NTR" I achieved happens because that person is yours by default, and the most funny part is that she is a married woman, so I dont think it "belongs" to the MC, I mean she has a son and a black husband so, that ship has sailed. I definitely dont think this is a masterpiece. It is not attrocious, but it is closer to it than closer to good.
I also didnt see any dancing, So I dont udnerstand the title

Great game!!!
Great love between Mom, Daughter and son.
Uh-huuuu!
The plot is well balanced, the animations are well done, and the characters have a well-defined personality. For my taste a very good game.

This game is a little different. If i reviewed it after chapter 4 i would have given it 5 stars. Through the roof. After playing chapters 5 and on I have trouble giving it more than 3/3.5.


The good (Great) is centered around the mom. The bulk the rating is nearly entirely her model with a little throw in of Faith who are absolute smokeshows with not only digestable story surrounding them but also the scene pacing with them is great.

The whatever is the sister's hair? I just dont know what that is. Make it normal.

The bad is nearly everything else about the storyline. It's... Really not good. It's so fragmented that so much of it feels unneccessary because you dont know where it's all going at this point. The pills feel like an idea barely explored, like the dev was going to do something with it because the gave an easy in to develop relationships then decided to go in a different direction but never took them out of the story. Angelina is just.. There's just nothing there that's enjoyable. From her model to her personallity and the storyline immediately surrounding her is awful.

This game is just great.
MILF-type models in lots of positions and animations.
It has a very well paced corruption of several characters, and "corrupted" scenes are extremely hot. It might feel slow in the first couple episodes, but once it gets going it just doesn't stop.
It's first time in a long time that i came back to some scenes several time after i've completed the game.
Oh, yes, functional gallery is here too.
I'm looking forward for the updates.

Damn. This game might be the pinnacle of the genre right now.

Hot characters, entertaining but not overcomplicated story, superb renders' quality aaaaand those Animations! (yes, they are Animations with capital A) - Animations are one of a kind.

Also probably the only case ever recorded, where remakes are indeed worth the time invested.

I won't even mention too much about main LI's - they are simply amazing and I will leave it as that.

Damn!

====================R E V I E W====================

First thing I see, trying to download this for the first time, is that this is in a perpetual state of "redevelopment." And by redevelopment, we all know that means they're more than likely just rerendering old images, not actually working on story, mechanics, or anything that doesn't actively get a rise out of the patrons penises. So in a year or so, I expect to se "Ch. 1 super special edition" Because ideas are hard, I'm sure. ALSO, seeing Ch. 5 SE but the last version was Ch.9 I, as a user, don't understand if I'm only getting up to chapter five, or I get chapters 1-5 "remastered" and then everything else up until chapter 9. So, really work on your marketing (This was changed in the OP AFTER I'd started the game). And after starting it up, I realized, this isn't my first time. I played this way back, when I knew it was gonna be micro updates to milk money out of supporters. The story goes nowhere, nothing makes logical sense, and holding true to their name, this is a boring game. But I will stick through, more than likely my second time getting to chapter 5, and review what I see. From what little I do remember, this is about a (what looks to be)30 year old guy living with his NOTmom and NOTsis that contracts a disease that needs him to jerk off? He hurts his right hand, and since no one in this universe has heard of just using their other hand, everyone tries to help him get off? I guess? Who knows.

So this all starts out with MC, the only working adult in his house of three grown ass people. He's a bartender with no real skills or personality. One night, at work, a woman just comes up to him and says she could use him for things his NOTdad was working on. It's right here, the beginning, that the "We're avoiding TOS with landlord" makes the story completely fall apart. Why would she need him if he's not blood related in an experiment that she never tells him about? Anyway, he shows up she says he has to use the table and he can only use it with experimental drugs. What any of that means, what the machine does, or what drugs he's taking, HES NEVER TOLD. He just blindly says "Shoot them drug up in me daddy." And it's here you realize he's a drooling moron. Right after, he blacks out, is hit by a car, and ends up in the hospital. What's the first thing he does? Molest his doctor. Wow. But, contrivance to the rescue, his medicine makes angry people horny. So sex happens, then he literally says "I really don't want to use my left hand." But one, why? And two, why does he need to jerk off? At no point was he told he needs to. His entire character is someone so lazy he doesn't want to work or even jerk himself off. What a piece of shit. For some reason I remember this not being so scummy, but I did forget this even existed, so... Great.

Then you meet Jake. An even worse piece of human trash, MC's best friend. Of course MC tells his idiot friend about his mind control thing right away, it being a secret government project and all. I think that's the only choice that actually matters in terms of "overarching story," not that there is one. Then he begs MC to do his mind control on his mom, so she'll be nicer and be naked. Next, queue up the typical shopping and yoga scenes with NOTmom and a few tropey bratty NOTsis scenes, because why would we be original? I guess here we learn it's the thing from Assassins creed to view memories. But again, it turns out it's probably a mafia story. NOTDad took bad money, then died. Every interaction is completely predictable. The ONLY time MC is serious is when he's talking to Emma about his memories, but I'm sure that will change soon enough. Everything else is him using his last brain cell to get whatever woman he's talking to to touch his dick. While, in the beginning, every interaction with Sarah, they act and talk like they're 14. The mental gymnastics these morons do to arrive at the conclusion "let ME jerk him off" makes no sense, even with the context of "magical super pills that make him emit hormones that affect other peoples hormones." Every single time I have to hear him complain about how bad it is to do it with his left hand, I want his hands to be cut off. And to anyone that "agrees" with him, that fumbling around is how your mythical virgin maiden would touch you.

Around here is when NOTmom gets fed up with MC and stops doing what they were doing. You know, because she finally realized "I shouldn't be doing this." All MC thinks is "why won't she do it again?" Because he's a piece of shit. I should say, this is all the while MC(and you, the player) are drip fed three frames of NOTdad's memories on the table. My bad, around 10 frames. Sarah's story becomes "I wanna be just like mommy" so her entire character gets reduced to nothing. Sad. Enter lust free spirited NOTcousin trope. She wants weed and will screw her dealer for it. The joke here is, it's legal almost everywhere now so why does she need a dealer? I understand I'm supposed to pretend or whatever, but when MC is a lazy rapey troglodyte, I can't get invested at all. It also takes 4 chapters to get to anything that resembles why this is titled "Shut up and dance." It's a dumb card game they threw in because they were tired of questions about the name. The illusion that this was written by someone that speaks English fades once Kate enters, as well. It'd been slipping for a while, but it gets a little jarring. And the mystery blows its load all at once revealing the big bad guy. Whose beaten right after.

Then it switches back to pre-rework and while I will say, the renders got much better, just make another game. If I were paying for this, and started seeing remastered versions of things I'd already paid for, I'd be done. Yes, your renders are improving, but every time you get to chapter 5 you're gonna say "Man, chapter 1 looks bad compared to this." It's good to want to improve, but at some point move on. This story isn't even all that good. The English keeps getting worse, and no matter how much the AAA games industry tries to push it, games that were made less than 15 years ago don't need a re-release.To be frank, after around chapter 6 I lost interest entirely. I can see what's gonna happen, none of the characters are any good, and I'm bored. If the "twists and turns" of this surprise you, I'm jealous, please enjoy it. But this isn't for me.

The English is fine up to about halfway then you start getting jarring non English lines. The UI/UX is pretty good, I think they need to keep all skip options, and probably do away with the random boxing minigame, but effort was actually made. The art, even with the rework and such, is a little inconsistent. But good. The dialogue and story are boring. None of the characters stood out until the very end, and even then it's not very interesting. This is overall just kinda there. Sure, the rework saves it from looking bad, but without that, it doesn't try to be anything more than contrived sex scenes and snowballing plot.

On one hand, almost everything in this game has been seen before in other games. On the other hand, it's absolutely smokin' hot, looks great, and just keeps building. I literally just posted about wanting to find a really great game in this style. So, yup, five stars from me.

Shut Up and Dance is one of the best works I've ever played, whether it's the rendering of the animation or the music, it's perfect. The only drawback is that the plot is a little monotonous compared to other visual novel games, but the good thing about it is that it has some really hot sex scenes, especially the corruption line！

[EP 9, Ch. 2 SE] Great game, a good example of an adult game should aim for. My summary:

- Good story. The story is secondary like 95% of the games, but I personally didn't have the need to skip dialogs in the "story moments", so good enough.

- H-scenes are great. They are very well done, a lot of different scene types. Don't follow the strict rule of bj>pussy>ass, so you will get a lot of bj in later scenes for example. There is lingerie in some scenes, but I would like more, included costume or clothed sex.

- Great animations.

- The pace of the scenes is nice. You won't miss h-scenes too much, nor story moments.

- Character design really good. All girls are really hot and have differents looks.

- Good sound/music. There music all time. No sounds at all.

- Technically almost perfect. 0 bugs but sometimes it lags, more in replay mode.

Excellent.
Great dialogue, characters, ambiance, models, music.
But more than that, the author does know how to add details in a way that increases the game charm even further.
A true masterpiece with a great narrative behind it, can't recommend it enough.

Based on what I'm looking for in an erotic game

first: hot and sexy ladies any age, underwear, heels, sketchy and perverted situations, corruption, threesome at some point, and second environment, general atmosphere, and at last plot and dialogues;
I try to stay away from impregnation, and make a full stop at pregnancy, futa and bestiality, and couldn't care less about the ridiculous debates about NTR and depth of characters/story/ veracity of details

I'm so glad I took it, because initially I skipped it because of the silly title and its main image (I thought it was some kind of poker games... yes I'm a skimmer), but it fit my tastes quite nicely and is probably one of the few games that I want to / will replay.

The characters are attractive, in many ways, the situations may be classic for some, but much enjoyable to me, there could be more sexy apparel and heels, but the attention to details is here, and I found myself reading more than usual.

Now I can't wait for an update involving the fabulous looking Violet.

So congrats and thanks from my little window for a beautiful and very hot game.

I think this game exemplifies what you need (and don't need) to make an adult VN work. The plot itself isn't all that great or engaging, the characters are pretty simple archetypes, but the prose and pacing is good enough and the scenes are hot enough that none of these things detract too much from the experience imo.

The incest content is the main focus this game which is fine. But the incest plot feels totally disconnected from the main plot (which other characters like the boss and cousin have a stronger connection to) which makes the main plot feel like a side story.

However this game does harem far better than most, once you progress far enough with both the mom and sis you can get the mom to hit on the sis to make it an open harem. This is done at a perfect pace imo, not too slow for blue balls, not too fast that it feel unearned. I really really hope that in the Love route we see a role reversal and the sis is the one trying to hit on the mom.

I would recommend the walkthrough mod just to make save management less tedious if you're someone like me who doesn't like missing out on scenes due to unforeseen consequences of seemingly unrelated choices. Thankfully the game structures choices such that you can get 95% of scenes in two playthroughs which isn't too bad.

Maybe the last time I saw a game with more better and better story and animation was Power Vacuum, great plot design, rapid updates, Tease release frequency, this is what a good writer does, this is our hero!
Latest update CH9Pt2: The BJ scene of Mom and sister is amazing, although I saw the exact same scene in one PervMom video, it didn't stop me from enjoying this one! Hope to get more Threesome scenes! Can't wait for the next update!

[Ep9 Ch2. SE]

Well, the visuals are great as other said. The characters are, of course, inhumanely well made up at all times and perfect, but aside from mom's hyperboobs and devs' love of bubble butts and a single body type, the renders are very good.

The premise is kinda ok as far the setting goes. It does stretch credibility a bit, as most of hypno/mind control stories will, but, hey, it's there.

The MC is the issue.

FIrst of all, despite having physique of an adult male in his prime, he is acting much like a teenager.

Worse, he can't put together 2 and 2, and use the pills either for good or bad.

Despite game being tagged as bdsm (no such thing there really) and male domination, the MC couldn't dominate a wet paper bag, and is constantly led on by his mom, taking a back seat at all times, despite taking "corruption" route. Oh, hehe, yeah he influenced and corrupted her by breathing his drugged(pills) breath on her once and telling her stuff once. Pathetic.

Same about others, the hypnosis pills are not used as a means to an end by MC, but as a repeating deus ex machina, saving his ass, when he is stuck.

Author's should rewrite this as femdom game. It already feels like it, and it'd be easier than to try to salvage whatever bdsm/maledom they had in mind, if they did indeed.

All the 3 points go for visuals only.

Oh, yeah, and the dialogues don't make any sense without an incest patch. "landlady" indeed.
