VN - Ren'Py - Silver Creek [Ep.2 v1.0.1] [ScrewThis]

This ones pretty poor. It's just a copy and paste of a load of terrible teenage dramas mixed with some porn logic. The writing style is really simple, almost juvenile, to the point where you lose immersion constantly, as the scenarios are so forced and stupid. Visually it's poor with an average cast. None of the LI's are great looking; apparently big tits makes you beautiful in this world. Choices aren't really choices, as you're forced into a 'relationship' with the mother character, to play sports, be with the blonde even though it looks like you have earlier choices not too.

Have to set the record straight on this one...

This isn't anywhere near a 5 star game in my book.
But then again, I'm not from Russia, being happy to find a game in my native language. Completely ignoring the poor production value.

The renders are super low quality. Lots of low res images poorly composited in Photoshop. This may have been okay 10 years ago.
And the English translation isn't great either.

And the writing... oh boy!
MC walks into a classroom for detention and slips on the wet floor and falls.
His teacher sits at her desk and starts laughing. I mean, sure! Kinda funny when one of your students slips and falls down , possible breaking his neck.
And she laughs and ridicules him. Only in Russia, huh?

Hard pass.

Excellent game. With very good characters and a very fluid and interesting story.
The characters are not exaggerated at all. It has a well-crafted atmosphere. Their personalities are being well developed and well constructed. I see great potential in this game and good work from the creator.

I just wish it had bushes.

I'm looking forward to more content. I hope it doesn't take long.
A game worth supporting and following its development.

Really enjoyed this VN! Character models are to die for. They're somewhat realistic, a grounded and appealing level of imperfection, and aren't built like a cohort of barbies on steroids. Their personalities are really fitting and entertaining too. The cast we have met so far have been loveable (or deliberately hateable). The dialogue writing and little interactions between characters are funny and nicely polished too. The premise and general story isn't anything crazy unique as of yet, but the way the dev goes about using it and making it their own is really nicely done! The use of mySpace is also a nice and creative touch to looking at stats and reading about the characters. I like that the dev is hoping to add some realism to the story, each character is their own, really helps the world in the game to stand on its own two feet. Its only Ep 1 atm, but the way its going so far I'd give this 6 stars if I could!

(Review of Ep. 1 v1.1)

This is an excellent game about a boy attending High School while living with his sexy caretaker and facing the usual challenges at his age. I have to say I fell in love with the game from the very beginning, seeing a very likeable albeit a bit too bold teacher scolding the MC for being late his first day and then spending time with him in retention. While there's a fair number of the usual cliches, like the mandatory jocks trying to give him a hard time or the top popular girl dating the captain of the sports team, we get to play a great MC with good friends around him and the social skills to make more.

It's easy to see the similarities with a certain top rated game with a similar premise, including the implementation of real time combat to defend yourself instead of having to rely on some stats, or the episodic structure. The game is flawless at everything that matters: excellent writing and characters, good storytelling as well as first class renders and animations. The current content lasts for an hour or so.

A game definitely worth supporting and being followed with interest for future updates.

A very atmospheric game, I haven't received such aesthetic pleasure from watching it for a long time, it looks very decent against the general background. The plot is certainly not new, but you don't always have to reinvent the wheel. I'll be impatiently waiting for how the author will implement his aesthetic approach in telling the story. Thanks for the excellent work

Good start with a worthwhile amount of content. The game has lots of different type of female love interests, with unique personalities and looks. The appearance of the females is relatively believable (minus some boob sizes), which is also a plus in my books.

As someone who likes femdom a good amount of females have potential in that regard, even though only one of them seems to be planned to cover femdom content. Still there always seem to be options to play the MC as a nice guy at least, so we femdom lovers shouldn't be forced into maledom content at least.
