VN - Ren'Py - Sinful Vampires [v0.11.0] [Hematite]

Version 0.11.0

A lesbian slice of life slapstick comedy disguised as a modern vampire visual novel. Plenty of nice animations let down by a weak story, unclear genre positioning and over exposed FMC caricature.

Story
FMC is a brilliant scientist living a life of quiet desperation after getting into the bad books of a powerful corporation. In standard vampire cliche, she got caught in a fight between a robot and vampire, died and then revived as a vampire.

The starting premise is typical of this genre, but the narrative simply stalls after the initial introductions. Thereafter there isn't really a central plot to push along things and momentum settles into that of a slice of vampire(?) life story.

The developer dwells far more on slapstick comedy than actually constructing a rich lore, which is a shame as the introduction looked promising.

Game Mechanic
Visual novel with choices that affect morality and allow players to reject lewd scenes. Some events differ depending on whether the FMC is good or evil, but because of the overall dispersed and unrelated nature of these moments, it's hard to say whether anything fundamentally changes.

Background / Character Renders
Usual character designs seen in Daz slapped with gothic-colored eye liner and lipstick on most characters. Never understood why vampires must all adopt the same fashion and beauty standards genre wide; I thought the idea was to blend well with ordinary humans?

Character Development
Not much going for it. FMC is a typical caricature you see in most slapstick comedies; the dialogue is funny for the first hour or so but then gets stale and repetitive after a while.

The LIs are tropey and exist mainly for some quick lesbian sex and supposedly funny conversations with our FMC comedian. They just come and go for certain events and aren't well woven into the story world.

Sex Scenes
The number and quality of renders and animations are impressive, but other than the initial rape scene, most of them are lesbian oriented. I would classify them as lesbian porn targeted at a male audience as it's very visual heavy with no emphasis on emotions.

The sex scenes are well done mostly, but the lack of either romantic or corruption progression makes them pornish and repetitive after a while. All the LIs do the tropey jump on FMC's pussy on first sight.

BGM and Sound Effects
BGMs are OK as far as they go and there are no / minimal sound effects.

Conclusion
Sinful Vampires is a lesbian themed game that has commendable varied playthroughs depending on your choices and above average but largely similar lewd scenes.

However, its over emphasis on slapstick expressions and dialogue coupled with the lack of a coherent story world, multi-dimensional characters and central plot makes gameplay monotonous after a while. It's one of those games you breeze through, archive and then forget about.

This review will contain spoilers,
so please read at your own risk

In order to give my best at rating this game, I have played every path available (I believe). The good vampire, the bad vampire, the neutral vampire, only 1 LI, all LI's, some LI's only, only lesbian, no lesbian (try), all LI and optional scenes.
(I do not want to badmouth or attack the dev of this (any) game, like many people who post bad reviews on some games do, because there is no acceptable reason to attack someone on a personal level. It's disappointing. So please do not feel personally attacked by this review, as it is not my wish to do so)

First off an overall summary of my opinion would be:
I like the game per se. Visuals, animations, variety in scenes as well as FMC and some female models. Not so much did I like some choices and dialogue/conversations.

This short summary may sound contradictory to the rating, but I'll explain why.

So what happens in this game? You are FCM (no shit) and your were turned into a vampire by some random passerby vampire who coincidentally was in a fight nearby (nothing wrong with that, every movie kinda has coincidences that are questionable happening to start the main storytelling).
Anyway, so she made you, you follow her, she explains what happened and that your life will turn upside down etc etc.
The next day she dissapears and your journey to find this soulmate and lost lover who you can't live without because shes the love of your life starts. You meet couple of people here and there, you decide to fuck them or not, maybe kill some people or not
As you may have read from the first couple of sentences above, I do not find the beginning extraordinary awesome. It's chliché-laden and does not bowl me over. I mean basically most vampire-themed games here start the same: you are in a life and death scenario > you are dying > randomly some (powerful) vampire sees you and makes the exception to turn you into one. > 'you are now a vampire' achievement.

Lets move on from the beginning. During the same day you follow your creator home and she explains how things work and from this point (there were options in the beginning aswell) you are presented with choices that lead you to you being a good vampire +1 / bad vampire +1 / neutral throughout the game. And these choices of being good or bad actually matter (very nice) because these will sometimes decide someones fate.



This game is essentially targeted at a specific audience and perfectly hits THE targeted audience.

Who is this targeted audience?
Definitely if you love lesbian FMC with female harem and some graphic violence. That is THE perfect targeted audience. You need to play it.
Second would be people who like FCM with some lesbian actions and FMC being raped (thats optional and can be fully avoided, there is also a netori action).

Who should play it with caution?
Definitely people who are sensible to blood, murder, logic

Who should not play it?
People who hate FMC or lesbian..like what are you doing here if you hate this?

The rating "average" was therefore chosen by me, because it isn't in any kind terrible or poor. It is -actually- amazing but I cannot give this excellent because everthing needs to be perfect for this and it is not. And 4 stars I cannot give, because the not so good aspects heavily impact the rating overall.

For me, the game did not live up to its high ranking score

It is indeed a nice change to see a bitchy vampire FMC instead of the typical harassed naïve women so common in the genre. And the benevolent vampires idea was nice.

But other than that, the story does not seem to be anywhere around, the dialogues are overextending and the witty lines are easily lost in a sea of nonsense.

From a technical point of view, I think the renders recycle far too often and the facial expressions are a bit excessive.

This is an awesome game.
The story is decent, maybe sometimes a little bit rushed and missing some nuances but overall pretty good.
The animations are awesome. Graphics are very good.
Interesting choices during the game, let's see how they will affect the story & ending. I can recommend this game wholeheartedly.

I’ve been playing this game since its initial release, and honestly, I went into it expecting just another dark adult VN. You know that moment when you try a game thinking it’ll be predictable, and then it completely blindsides you? That’s exactly what happened here. Sinful Vampires hooked me from the start and never let go.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a futuristic vampire visual novel, but the story blew me away. It follows a scientist who gets turned into a vampire, and from there it’s just a wild, bloody ride. I’m deeply invested in this chaotic world and its gritty, stylish vibe. It’s dangerous, sure, but it never feels heavy, instead, it’s sharp, vibrant, and full of energy. The choices you make don’t just change big story beats, they ripple through smaller character interactions, too, which really makes the world feel alive.

What really surprised me is how much personality the MC has. She isn’t a blank slate, she’s sarcastic, vulnerable, and dangerous all at once. Depending on your choices, she can lean into being a ruthless predator or a surprisingly empathetic antihero. Personally, I’m all about the foul-mouthed, take-no-crap version of her, but the flexibility is great. The dialogue often made me laugh out loud, especially when she mouths off to characters that could easily crush her. That mix of tension and humor makes it so easy to get lost in the story. Here’s a gem of an exchange that shows off the writing:

“So, I, who am a gentle, noble, and charming creature of the night… in a century, I might become a bitch?”
“I don’t know how to tell you… but you’re already a bitch.”

The art and animations deserve serious praise. The 3DCG is stunning, with beautifully detailed character designs and moody, atmospheric lighting. The animations have become more polished with each update, and it’s clear there’s a lot of love poured into this game. Updates are massive, adding thousands of words, hundreds of images, and new animations at a pace that’s hard to keep up with. The love interests, like Ingrid and Sofia, are incredibly well-developed, and the game balances brutal, high-stakes moments with genuinely tender scenes. The soundtrack also deserves a shout-out, it gives the game a cinematic edge and makes even dialogue-heavy moments feel alive.

One thing I really appreciate is how much control the game gives you over the adult content. You can play it completely smut-free or dive into every spicy scene, it’s entirely your call. That kind of player agency is rare in adult VNs and makes the game accessible to a wider audience.

This isn’t some generic vampire story. It’s layered, full of emotional depth, and the characters feel real. You actually get to see the protagonist grow, or completely unravel, based on your choices. If you’re into narrative-heavy games with meaningful decisions, a badass female lead, and a world that’s as seductive as it is brutal, Sinful Vampires is absolutely worth your time. It’s easily one of the best visual novels I’ve ever played, and I’ll be following every future update without question.

I played your game and surpise, not a usually vampire-story. The story is good and the thougts about our heroine what is right and what not and her choices influent her mind. Finding Jess is important , the way is the aim and they meet interesting vampires ( i like Yana , Sofia ) A story full of surprise but i like most Ingrid ( i like her small tits, i think her body is perfect and i hope this is not chancing ) and , of course, Ingrid, wild, sexy, passionate and her love to Valeria. Valeria love Ingrid, so i understand her conflicting thoughts about cure or change Ingrid in a Vampire. I dont think her love for Ingrid make Valeria blind, they vote for the 100% chance for Ingrid ( i understand, i would do the same ) to surrive . I hope Ingrid save Valeria again . I would not say Valeria is a pure soul more impulsive ( what is a joke about what they say to Ingrid ) and did what they think is necessary. Revenge on rapist and her betrayed ceo. They is a little naive but now they change in a more self-confident Woman . The Story and the art ( animation ) are good and surrpise, tentacle too in the story, Yana is good in science but Valeria help her ( i like the humour as the work on Yanas problem ) I think Valeria is important because her personality is good and if the like or love somone they will do what ever its cost for helping .

The game is graphically well-crafted with very detailed sex scenes. The story, while fantastic, follows a logical thread. I wish the translation into other languages had been more thorough. Very good

This is one of the visual novels that I'm enjoying the most and I've tried many on this site. The story is engaging, the renders are beautiful, I love the protagonist!! I love her humor, the choice of music is also excellent, and for the short time that this novel has been out, it has quite a bit of content! I think it deserves much more recognition. I encourage the developer to continue like this. I've been on this page for years and this is the first review I've written, so get an idea.

Well I must say this was pretty good. a few hours of good content and
the story ain't bad so far and a good amount of lesbian action if you're
into that.{it's a must for me if I'm playing a female} Good renders and decent music to boot! Was gonna give it a 4 but Eh.....I gave it a 5!

The author writes excellent texts and does everything according to the cinematic canon. If there is sarcasm, then it is appropriate, if it is a joke, then it is funny. Add to this the incredible atmosphere of a dark future, interesting characters, beautiful renderings, intrigue and hot H scenes.

The soundtrack deserves special praise. Good luck and thanks for your game!

After a rather grim start, this VN really starts to find it's footing. The protagonist is a social liability, who just happens to be a genius...however, the 'genius' part of her is often AWOL and you are left with a socially incoherent mess. Her life is saved by a vampire and thus the story begins...
This VN is still in it's infancy, but it has awesome potential to be one of the best vampire VN's we've ever had!
Good luck to the developer! I'll be following this closely.

My favorite genre of AVN is horror/supernatural with a female protag. Admittedly, there are not that many decent ones on here and even less where you don't have the MC just being a fuck toy for boys to get their jollies off. This one lets us choose most sexual content, thankfully.

The plot is pretty rudimentary but revolves around the MC becoming a vampiress, her attempts at coming to terms with being a fledgling bloodsucker with zero powers and also at the mercy of more powerful vamps. She can fuck up humans though and it's satisfying to be able to dismember baddies and put a high heeled boot in their scrotums

We can play as a passive, peaceful type for good or the much more fun (for me) foul mouthed, bad ass bitch and embrace your vampyness for a more selfish, evil style. If I became a vampire I would embrace that shit and be an evil, sexy bloodsucking bitch...hey, fuck those twilight sparkly emo vamps...I'd be hanging out at the Titty Twister for my meals...

I liked the transformation of the MC with her hair, slutty outfits (hey embrace your inner slut girl) and her makeup. She makes quite an attractive vamp, although the dev went a bit over the top in the tits dept...*sigh* guys...

Lewd scenes can be avoided mostly, although there is some tentacle/plant porn shit that you stumble upon. Hopefully the dev is not gong.down that route...that shit is just nasty, leave for those AVNs that cater for that crowd.

After reading some guys whining about lesbian content, I will just add that yes, lesbian scenes can be avoided and it will be just another corruption story that allows the MC to be treated as a fucktoy

The story and dialogue at times is a bit rough, but some of the dialogue when MC just goes full bat shit crazy had me giggling...she can also be a bit dense for a scientist but overall I found it funny how unpredictable MC can be....one minute acting polite to a powerfull millenial vampiress, the next....going full tourette syndrome on her

One thing I noticed was certain dialogue choices seemed to show no noticeable difference regardless of what I chose. Seducing a certain human girl had options to say she was a doll to play with or that she needed love, yet the following scenes didn't vary at all despite these choices. I'm not sure if they were for hidden variables to decide if MC will be good or evil?

This is a fun AVN with hot vampire girls (The 69 Eyes "Dead girls are easy" is perfect for background music!) and a coming of age story mixed with some dismembering fun should you want it...oh you know you do!

While lacking in some areas, I'm looking forward to more of this AVN, it made me laugh so I'm down with it for some good relaxing, throat ripping fun.

Absolutely loved it! Loved the whole idea, the domination play, the transformation, the protagonist getting her body enhanced, the mistery of Jill, the good soundtrack, the answers to dictate your character feelings about new experiences. Really good and beautiful animations, I will sure support it on Steam. Good luck to the dev and keep up with the nice work! Love to you all <3

[v0.3.5]

Yuup, liked this:

• nice girls, renders;
• nice/entertaining story (not too deep, not too shallow);
• some sexy les (vamp <> vamp & vamp <> human) action (no dicks) (scenes);
• going on dev notes, male & futa interactions & group stuff are planned;
• nice clothes/outfits;
• able to choose (at various moments) between being more of a tough cold bitch, or more refined/loving/caring (I opted for the latter) (not sure if certain (early) choices actually put you on a certain path or not);
• good pacing, concise dialogs, no walls of text;
• had a couple of laughs as well;
• writing is okay, although some poor English here & there, but fair enough / tolerable;
• some hardcore action (gore) (the b*tch can get brutal! );
• nice/good eclectic soundtrack (inc. vocal tracks). Music alternates nicely fitting/following the (progress of the) scene; feels quite filmic;
• there are ambient sounds as well (e.g. the sound of the city);
• there's some sfx; sound design (music+ambient+sfx) is pretty good. No sex sfx or moaning;
• okay anims (sex scenes, complementary, it's more render + dialog focused);
• about ~1h of content ATM.

Somewhere between 4 & 5 stars for me, giving it 4 for now!
