VN - Ren'Py - Sin Heels [Ep.4 P3 v4.0] [Hera Novels]

That art on this avn is s masterpiece. Evelyne is drop dead gorgeous and so are all the other sisters. Animation and renders are smooth at top tier. Lots of sexy time content too is a plus. If you enjoy female protagonist games then give thus one a try. The animations alone make it worth the time. Great job dev looking forward to more updates

Well, the art is great, but the whole story is meaningless, tedious.

Sex interactions are just checkbox exercise to show that something happen.
Everything is very dry like a grandmother knicker.
Lot of content, but the dev really is unable to raise the heart beat this this boring /vanilla plot.

all this asking for consent (skip this or that) is just ridiculous

I like it, mostly. The game is really well made and the renders are nice. The females are a bit samey but considering the subject that's okay. But the story is bonkers. There is no significant conflict which is one of the most important aspects of a story otherwise you might as well have a plumber walk through the door and the lonely housewife drop to her knees. I'm a dude, I get that it's taboo male fantasy stuff but in what universe would former And my score of the game is 2/5.

There's a vibe, but the execution not so much...

It's different style of storytelling compared to the usual "slow" pace of other novels, which in itself is refreshing but also accentuates its problems.

The fast pace means no filler, it's like watching an action movie, meat, meat, meat, with a few sprinkles of past lore here and there, which also means little ot no time presenting characters that end up blending together both in style as in personality -they are all femdom prone, flamboyansh, with a little of noir style, it gets worse with extra profile cards all being heavily tinted pink/blue.

Models are beautiful with very care on their clothing to the point only a few novels can compete at this level. Sadly, all the rest is sub-par once compared. Scenes are extremely noisy and most of the times excessive dark with suboptimal composition, making all the details goes to waste.

Some sex scenes can be hot -meaning, they are all click -> fade to black -> immediate intercourse -> end. Which in some situations can be hot, but not most of the time, specially with this fetish where build up is mostly dialogue driven.

The MC is "cool", purpose-driven, and very confident. However you have to buy the idea of her being emotional in certain situations, while also staring at a dead body like a psychopath. The game does not disclose whether she's really enjoying all the acts or not -perhaps intentional or bad story telling?

Overall, the game (so far as of ep4) felt very rushed in all senses, like a said, there's a vibe and it's not your usual novel which for me counts a lot, but the execution desperately need the same care as MC's shoe renders...

Great for a cartoon porn game. Heavy drama with lots of twists and turns. Definitely soap opera type back and forth story but was entertaining. This is the way a game should be, just choose to see the content or not. Simple.

The story is not bad & the models looks okay but not great. Renders are not good with grafics .. most all the sences are all in the dark... would be better if there was more effort in lighting up which also contribute to poor rendering.

*The main heroine is likable and is nothing but endearing.*

Good game, with a charismatic female MC mostly focused on femdom (you can play sub tho if you want). This is actually rare, since most game with FMC are mostly about their weak ass getting (easily) corrupted.
Evelyn (FMC) actually has some dignity, making playing as her far more interesting and her scenes hotter. She is also an active protagonist, as opposed to a reactive one.

+ This game has a very good story. It has intriguing plot reminiscent of crime-thriller movies in a good way. Lots of stuff actually happens, unlike a lot of VNs where they just meander around until the next lewd scene.
+ There's a clear thematic to the story. Its a story about revenge, redemption and power. Characters are not static, they get development, especially MC.
+ All female models are gorgeous. MC is a sexy bombshell.
+ Good renders and animations. The aesthetics are great.
+ Huge variety in lewd scenes. Most kinks are optional.

- Most choices are just to decide which lewd scene you'll see next. So far, the consequences is just one changed line of dialogue here and there.
- The English in this game is a bit rough.

Hidden gem, 9/10

10/10 till now loved the story gets me hooked like watching a movie. Most charming about this one is visuals, smooth animations and renders. Always been a fan of Gangster stuff + Characters are sexy. No matter how long it takes for an update but it'll worth waiting

The main heroine is not likable and is nothing but annoying. But all men are crazy about her for some reason, and almost all men in the game look and act like spineless morons. The rest of the women also do not look memorable, it seems that these faces, hairstyles have already seen many times in other games, they have zero originality except maybe 1-2.
The beginning of the story looks weird to me, adopted model daughters, handing them the rights to the company, I didn't get that.
The graphics in the game are low quality, lots of bad renders, it's rare to see so much noise in the renders. A lot of characters in unnatural poses. Probably the developer's main attention are animations, which a lot, but also mostly of mediocre quality.
There's a lot of content in the game for such a short development time, but I didn't see anything else good in there.

Revenge story, dominatrix protagonist, multiple options to accommodate users who aren't into femdom, kinky stuff that you usually can't find in most other femdom games. What more can a person want? The first episode is a bit short, but that might because the game is still new.

There is so many things I like about this game
First of all there is a lot of games out there with a Fmc but most are innocent that get corrupted with the story progression this one is different our Fmc is already corrupt and dark for reasons you will find out in the story
Second although femdom is a main theme of the game we will have the opportunity to select who Fmc is submissive to and that I find very hot

Renders/models 08/10
Story depth & potential 09/10
characters apart from Fmc not yet developed as of ep1 so I will reserve my judgment on that

ALL IN ALL, I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND IT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ENJOY A DOMINANT FEMALE

This is really FUN.

On paper/tags it doesn't sound new (what would?) but what you get is quite unique. The FMC is a protagonist of a game/VN you are playing, to win, to achieve... The bitch IS the Chad!

I've played loads of FMC games incuding where she is dominant and/or the dev has tried to make her a true protagonist of a story, but what yoy mostly get is a character you can place in scenes/situations of your choice, often thinking of/identifying with the type of partner she should do/be whatever with. Which was fine and I downloaded this, happily expecting all of that with nice renders. But:
This is different and even better.

Now, all we need is real branching instead of the choices only influencing the lewd action and, presumably, counting to the increase/decrease of characteristics of MC.

Besides the concept and scope:

Renders are great. But probably because of how great the scenes and looks is, I do find myself hoping that with all the new tools out there or AI brush-ups or whatever the devs will spring for another cherry on top of this cherry.

Though now on hold, it is already rich with kinks and poses. The variety in power dynamics is commendable, with FMC optionally both bottoms and tops without changing the femme fatale scenario.

I only play visual novels (VNs) with male protagonists because I like to simulate the actions I would take if I were in the main character's place. Additionally, in the few VNs with female protagonists that I've played, the woman usually uses her body to gain some advantage.

I downloaded this game because one of its tags indicated multiple protagonists. However, you spend most of the time controlling a female protagonist. But, unlike other games, this one captivated me. Maybe it's because, in recent months, I've been playing VNs with weak, idiotic, and loser protagonists. Coming across a game where the main character is determined and fearless made my eyes light up.

This game has a unique aesthetic, a kind of Noir style with a highlight of lilac color, accompanied by excellent music that helps set the mood. I like how the story progresses in an agile and straightforward manner, without dragging on. Here, there isn't much space for unnecessary dialogue, keeping you always attentive and without getting bored.

The 3D models are spectacular. Maybe I'm tired of the DAZ asset standards that everyone is using. Seeing new faces gives more identity to this visual novel. Another good thing is that, unlike other VNs, this one has a well-balanced cast of men and women.

I subscribed to the developer's Patreon, and upon accessing it, I noticed that the developer is very active, with frequent updates on development, polls, and especially regular releases.

Regarding the game's story, it starts with two fashion entrepreneurs who adopt some girls. When they become adults, these girls become models and work for the adoptive parents' company. One of them ends up seducing her adoptive father, and the adoptive mother discovers the affair, expelling her from the house and the agency, leaving her without money. The game focuses on this girl's attempt at redemption and her revenge against the adoptive mother.

The game is recommended for those who like Femdom, but it displays options before erotic scenes, allowing you to choose whether to be the dominant or the submissive.

I highly recommend the game and hope that one day it will be available on Steam because I would buy it and try to achieve all its achievements.

I like this kind of setting, and the visuals are good. Yeah, it does follow a tried-and-true formula. The game is enjoyable. I see good potential here. It has nice visuals and music for the ambiance. It's a demo game at the moment. I will come back and update my review if I see a need to.
