VN - Ren'Py - Simulation 69 [EP. 7] [HotVenusStudios]

Very standard wincest VN. No depth to the story, just a another college trope where a guy is intimate with his family members among others. As hard as the dev tries to be original it just doesn't do it for me. Animations are pretty decent and the renders look great. But I'm not a horn teenager looking to fap to basic incest porn. Do better.

Average: X of 50 possible points giving a X% rating i.e. X stars.

PROS:

1. Gorgeous models, LIs particularly. Over the top though a little with Mother and older Sisters huge tits
2. Well told story, dialogue is decent, structured and reads well.
3. Sounds are not bad, few but decent, some lewd and such which are not bad, can do with more though on all fronts, lewd scene sounds too. Less of the vinyl scratching...
4. Able to set relationships

CONS:

1. Story is fairly interesting but once you know kinda whats going on it becomes sort of irrelevant which is a bit disappointing.
2. Often over used vinyl record scratch sound is highly fucking annoying, change it up or just don't use it that often...
3. MC has a way of giving me whiplash when he is often pushing back having relations with anyone really.
4. Needs some UI settings like opacity
5. Animations are not bad but some have a lot of hitching or simply are not smooth.
6. Lewd scenes should have more angles, close ups, creampies, cum shots and all the good stuff, as it is now is mostly reserved and feels held back and vanilla.
7. Not a whole lot of content considering its been going since 2022, its progress is fairly slow with the main LIs and this is to me actually pretty bad.
8. Adding to point 8, what is very concerning and frustrating is, that up until EP7, the MC has only had actual sex with one character who he went from "friendzoning" to fuck in one episode...while not a deal breaker is a bit of an OK...that happened moment. Otherwise there is no intercourse with any other characters! COME ON!
9. Not many things on the kink side of things either...and this "world" is actually ideal for kinks...you could go crazy...but no

FINAL REMARKS, OPINIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer.

• Once your character and the player gets the reveal of whats going on, there doesn't seem to be any point save having sexual interactions with as many LIs as possible. The characters mere existence becomes simple and there is nothing more to it.
  Spoiler: Plot Spoiler

  You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
• The MC has this ignorance to the obvious which considering his intellect is really annoying. There are woman fawning over him, obviously so, some literately suck him off and he still has doubts. It becomes frustrating to deal with a MC that doesn't know what he wants and then all of a sudden he dives right in. It was a bit jarring, but mostly his naivete is annoying.

TLDR:

This is a decent game, hands down, I recommend it. However, the issue is that sexual content has only recently starting coming out, the MC has only had full on sex with ONE character and that was 2x with same LI in same scene! This is progress is too slow for an adult VN and the plot, once known, kinda falls by the way side. Whats more the that actual sex scenes are not that awesome, they fairly vanilla and don't have enough hardcore to them.

Kinks are few and far between really, you could go out and do a lot of things with this game, optional of course, especially considering this plot. You could literally do anything, knock up every chick, get cucked, have squirting, pissing content, you name it and it would be easy to do considering the plot, but here is nothing like that.

This game is taking too long too do too little, it does what it does well though, just not well enough and because of that I feel the game will stay just shy of 4 stars, but its very close!

I'm on the line with this one, good and bad mostly balanced weirdly. To start of, the story may work for some but it doesn't completely work for me; why? Because the satire and comical elements in it (core aspect of it) take me out continuously, instead of diving into the consequences of a simulation for your whole life it takes a more comical approach which can work for many people, but comedy doesn't work with eroticism in my personal case. There are some choices and they do seem to matter to a point, which is always good.

Render quality is pretty decent overall, but animations are a bit basic, specially the earlier ones. There are some sounds outside music (which I turned off), but not much on that side. And I only encountered a couple bugs with missing images.

So, all in all, I'll keep on playing at least a couple more updates to see how it goes, but I can actually see it falling to either side of the balance. We'll see.

EP. 7

Interesting spin on the age old AVN concept. The beginning is really intriguing, it creates interesting mystery for our MC and the audience to solve. But it does not continue this unique idea, but just spins its wheels, ultimately abandoning what made it stand out in the first place. Story makes fun of old style family AVNs, but in the end, turns out to be caricature of meaningless sex scenes itself.

Writing is mostly well done. It has some funny lines and clever commentary. Flirting is also nicely done, even if at some points, this much inner monologue during sexual encounters does feel kind of weird.
Characters behave little too over-the-top and generic to create real emotions towards them. Well, there are two characters that have lots of personality and interesting background...

All the sexual encounters are really well done. Women are great looking and the person with the camera is doing gods work. Lots of nice details everywhere to make visuals stand out.

For Episode 5:

First time playing, didn't find this game until now, and I have to say I had a great time. Sure, there are things that could be improved (when a meta character acknowledges that what a bummer that something happens plot-wise, that's your cue that something is not right, since that meta character points out how the player feels as well. And also there are too many references references to this board, but that's probably just me.)

The pacing is good, the characters are easily differentiable from one another, and almost all of them are likeable. Not to mention the models are very attractive. All of that, good stuff.

I read here the criticism that there are too many cliches and no innovation... The game, the story and the plot doesn't have to be earth-shattering. They need to be well executed and enjoyable. That's it.

So keep it up! I rarely do this, but I might actually pay money if development continues.

Just started playing this and finding it hilarious. The reviews and comments complaining about the characters being cliché are totally missing the forest for the trees. Animations and framing of each scene could be better (I lost count of the low angle butt shots) and, sure, even in this parody setting the writing could also be better in more experienced hands so that there's a bit more build up before the big payoff moments, but what we have here is more than serviceable and gets a passing mark. It's very self-aware and, for fellow degenerates who've played too many AVNs, the commentary on the genre just works.

TL;DR I should have played this sooner, but then again playing more titles before this only made it all the more enjoyable. 4/5 with an extra mark for the creative meta take

This game is for incest fans and calm drama.

Many people should try it as there are female sexy characters like big ass mother, big titted older sister, evil younger sister... what else can be better for incest lovers, right?

There are other storylines as well, you are stuck in what seems like an NPC style simulation here, but the game is worth checking out if you want a fun time.

Animation: seems good, I wouldn't say it's the best, but it needs time, especially since there aren't many scenes yet, little by little we're already getting hot scenes.

Plot: Typical comedy and development, but very interesting and slowburn as some like it.

About the game: The game needs time, the dev still has a lot of fun plans for the future, so the game deserves more attention.

This is now one of my fav games and noticeably improves each episode in quality.

Renders: beautiful

music and SFX: great with subtle references to other games, and each song matches the mood perfectly

Heroines: HOLY SHIT! These women are 10/10 gorgeous, especially Jennifer, Melanie and Bree (sexiest non-white heroine I’ve ever seen). Characters are interesting, feel real, and are among the most beautiful I’ve seen in a game.

story: strange at first but once I got to episode 3, it all made sense and also made me die of laughter. Seriously, this game is as funny as it is hot. The game also seems to be satirical, making jokes about smut games in general. This makes it stand out in its own right. It also has a healthy balance of emotion, humor and of course the sex scenes.

MC: honestly not as bad as I feared. Looks unique and doesn’t look ugly either. Personality isn’t generic either.

While it needs to improve when it comes to animations (episode 5 ended with a good one at least) and needs more of them for sure, this game is among the best and I can’t wait for more updates. 5/5

The MC in this game is pretty good as MC's go, he is good in bed, confident, not ugly, not dumb and has goals but i hate that he enters a committed relationship while banging several women and with the intention to do many more.

Personally i couldn't connect with the game after the reveal
Parts of the story or parts with certain characters get erased so often that its hard to keep track of the MC's progress with each girl but in the long run it doesn't matter because the girls feeling don't change throughout the whole game.

Getting with the girls is not difficult as they all really want to get with the MC so they all throw themselves at him.

Couldn't find any story choices or character ones so at the moment there are no options other than scene ones i.e. kinetic novel not a VN.

Art is really great, especially the character models, a big plus for the game but having women who are the text book definition of a goddess constantly being insecure gets really annoying.

I also liked the extra effort that went into making the characters blush.

Story 3/5 (not my thing)
Sex 4/5 (plenty and pretty good)
Characters 3/5 (bit too easy)
Art 4/5 (very good)
Choices 0/5 (none)
Kinks 0/5 (none)

I really dig this style of games, because as I´ve played many others a bit similar to this one, it gets harder and harder for me to find a unique experience. So, the aspect of the simulated world felt like just what this game needed to feel special and different.

Mentioning the cons first: The animations were, as anyone would expect, underwhelming, not much to say other than that. But at least the devs seem to have improved in that aspect in the last episodes.

Also, while the game is a goofy comedy, it has oportunity to feel more realistic. It has the typical MC with the biggest dong you can possibly imagine, with the typical family of war tank bodies that many video games in this platform like to use over and over again. So, for a game so heavily focused in explaining a unique story, the 3d models seem too familiar and boring, because some of them are the common exaggeration I have seem enough alredy.

The game also lacked a bit in the sad or dramatic aspects. There were some scenes here and there with that focus, but there were few of them. A story that can be melancholic and cheerful whenever it needs to be, can have a bigger impact in the audience. So I feel this game could improve in that area, because I felt like it was just cheerful 95% of the time.

Now, the pros of the game are: It´s really really fun! I had a blast just playing and laughing constantly, because the structure of the story was really well made for a comedy. Angel and Mouse were so weird but I never gor tired of them, they and that weird corp they work in, did a lot to raise the quality of the overall game.

Melanie was just great! Maybe she fell into the stereotype of the childhood friend always in love with the MC, but I don´t care, she became my favorite character even before her big scene in episode 5. Something about her felt so nostalgic and relatable. Or maybe I just love girls with freckles...

Yeah, the stereotypical bimbos, the MC with the big DDDD and the hot headed good-for-nothing sister felt like a copy-paste of many other games, but they had a good personality. MC and Beth, the mother, were a bit bland because they didn´t have such bright personalities, but out of the whole family Jen was the most interesting. She was fun and intelligent, and I liked her face a lot.

I get why some people didn´t like this game, but I honestly think it has a lot of potential and good content alredy, even if I´m the only one that thinks so. So, Devs, keep up the good work!

Really enjoyed this. The writing is well done and improves as the story progresses. The characterization of all the women is really well done, with believable motivations and desires.

The game is clearly a parody of the AVN-sphere as a whole and so there are contrivances in service of that parody.

Love the character models, and feel like there's enough variety for most tastes.

Dev also appears to have spent some time in custom backdrops with there being a pretty gorg sunset towards the end of episode 5.

This game has had some rework due to very vocal complaints early on, while I personally had no issues with the original script, the rewrites should be fine for all but the most extreme.

I like this one every update is nice. the images are very good the girls are hot and the story is good. i just played the current update without the incest mod and its not some clunky Landlady junk witch makes it unplayable its godmother, god-sis and so forth i like that significantly better however can still be clunky but not as bad as Landlady, or roomate. so overall an excellent game and i look forward to future installments.

This game clearly isn't for everyone. But personal attacks on Devs is never called for.

Story:

This story for the most part is purely satire. Meaning that if you choose to stay and play this AVN KNOWING that such a thing exist, Knowing that the breaking of the 4th wall and other commentary is a constant then it's on you.

Back to the story itself. As someone that appreciates good satire from shows like: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boondocks, Atlanta and Dave. I was able to get a laugh or two out of this. Does it poke fun at a lot of cliches and kinks on F95? Yes, and I enjoyed it. Angel and Mouse as well as the title of the game alone should've told players that this story wasn't really meant to be rich in storytelling. At best it's a spoof of AVN's.

Nothing is ever so deep that I feel like trashing a Dev's personal life. One, I don't know these people and two, it's not that serious. Not when there's god knows how many other games out there to choose from. If I was writing this then sure I would've done some things differently given the crowd I knew was going to be consuming it. But the story itself isn't all that bad and under normal circumstances I would rate this at a smooth 3.5 to 4. But because of how shit this thread has been I made an exception(I hate stooping down to shit like this).

Chapter 5 went like I knew it was going to go, Jen never was seriously going to be a full time stripper. Melanie and the MC got it on and the story is moving forward. Hazel is getting more screen time, hopefully.

Renders:

Good.

Dialogue and grammar:

Solid.

Models:

Great selection of ladies.


Overall:

Story aside. The teasing aspect of this game particularly early on was great on in the game was hot to me. Hopefully, this art doesn't get lost. It saids a lot about Devs in general if you can get players off without actually having a full on sex scene. Lastly I already recommended this to the Dev that the intimate scenes be just about the MC and his partner. Angel and Mouse being muted was a good adage and should happen more. Take it easy, folks.

Nice models but asbolutely idiotic and horribly written story with another stupid loser mc. Constant breaking of the 4 wall with weeb remarks about anime style situations. Imbecilic 5 grade humor. Dumb characters with whom I as a player lose any kind of respect with every chapter.

Plot and writing on the level of real porn prelude, just stretched to hours of stupid dialogs and with tiny amount of actual porn. Dropped at halfway of ch5 and all I saw is a few blowjobs and some groping, mc didnt even actually fucked anyone. And thats all in a 2yo game, with a porn logic based plot, lol) My friend in the past when he was 15-16yo, in a free time wrote way more realistic, better structured and believable fanfics about Skyrim then general plot in this "game".

Choices here are fake and just to avoid "kinetic novel" tag. Horribly wasted time. If you ask questions during reading like "what" and "why" when charachters do/say one thing or another, then dont even try to play this if you dont want to get brain tumor...

UPD: About characters. There is practically noone to trully like and respect as woman (Especially before lame rewriting). On words they all nice, honorable and sophisticated but in reality due to bad writing (or writer's fucked up worldview) they all look and behave just like a bunch of dumb cunts without brains, dignity and self respect, with even more dumb mc on top

One of those that you keep around not because the story is amazing or anything, but just because it's good smutty porn.

It's pretty basic in many ways, the model assets are largely just presets (the dev even breaks the 4th wall to mention how girls look suspiciously like girls from other games), and if you've ever fucked with DAZ rendering before you'll easily recognize a few popular plugins that are doing a lot of the.. ahem.. heavy lifting. The dev doesn't really bother with variables or anything, the entire script is a single giant file, and choices pretty much just affect what scene variant you see with no long-term impact. Story has a bit of a little clever meta aspect, but is also the most cliché family harem thing ever.

The assets are basic, the scripting is basic, and the story is basic, but they're also... effective. You could spend a thousand hours making your own custom sculpts, meticulously code complex python functions, and spend weeks brainstorming a deep complicated story, but at the end of the day on this website: if your game doesn't have some amazing tits in it, is it really that much better for it?

This game has great tits, and plenty of them. Oodles of great ass to go along with it too. And it makes sure you have some in view for the majority of the time. It's a simple to-the-point sexy hentai game by a dev who can set an ass slider just right and knows his way around the Breastacular plugin, and sometimes that's all you need.

Just a KN with fake choices to mask the absence of any player involvement.
Every encounter, every LI and every sex scene is plot-forced and without any decision.
You can literaly put the whole game into auto skip and nothing changes.
The laziest atempt I encountered in a while.

Which is a bummer because the story itself is quite funny.
The idea was a solid base for an awesome game experience.
Some of the characters started really unique and again - funny.
I like the renders a lot and even the MC is not a complete disaster.
So with a lot of rewrite and actual branching this could become a top tier game.

This was a game I was enjoying pretty much in the early releases but it is slowly going downhill. All the characters are tired cliche's and the story being a simulation just randomly resets and everything up till that point was useless.


The renders are pretty good and the writing is decent, no engrish here but the story itself is disjointed and jumps around. T and A sliders are set at maximum which ruins the immersion as the physics in VN's never match the T and A sizes and they look like fake bolt on's without any effect from gravity. Overall its not bad but a bit too all over the place and lacking coherence. Hopefully I can add another star or 2 after further updates.

The boring cliche's, lack of options where I feel there should be and a story that you need to fully suspend disbelief to make it work are the main minus points.

I'd give this game a 4.5/5 star rating. Rounding it up to 5 because even the things I didn't love about it, I still didn't hate.

The story is unique, engaging, fun, and mostly hilarious. I mean there are a lot of laughs to be had throughout, but the comedy is tempered by plenty of well-delivered drama. Nothing too heavy, it strikes a pretty great balance.

The characters, specifically the LIs, are multifaceted, well fleshed out personalities. They're also very well-rendered, gorgeous, and extremely sexy. I also found the MC to be very likeable, and I enjoy how he reacts to the absurd situation he finds himself in.

Some of the characters make some very bad decisions that will likely upset some of the more extreme haremcest fans, but it makes them feel more realistic, more human. If you've read through the thread, you'll know there are a couple of contentious scenes. One of them had my stomach in knots, but it resolved well enough, and looking back it was a pretty funny series of circumstances.

The lewd scenes are excellently done, and the circumstances leading to them are usually hilarious.

There is certainly a lot more to be said, and I'll be adding more to this review when episode 5 drops. I highly recommend giving this game a try. Its unique story stands out from the crowd. There are very few games I get excited about when I see them on the latest updates page, and this is one of them for sure.

The background in terms of family and its history is a good start, similar to many other games, although the members looks like cliché. Bur story is not making sense, it isn't coherent or logical, its jumpy and leaves you confused. There aren't many options you can select, they too obvious and don't have enough impact on the flow.
