VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Slut School [v0.1.5] [ShadowSnake]

There are so many reasons why this game is bad that I would prefer not to mention them. However this game was released very early, with the developer's hard work it still has salvation, but until then it is a terrible game.

The structure of the game is just terrible. I was bored too quickly because there's nothing to do, and I don't mean there isn't content. I mean you have to guess where the content is. The game has a system where time flows for every action you take, including moving from location to location. It's not a bad thing if done right and if can tell, it's not done right here.

The purpose for this mechanic is to force the player to consider their next option carefully by limiting the number of moves they have. Every choice they make might make other choices missable .

But the player needs to have enough information to make that choice. There is no information given to the player to make any informed decision. So either they'll click aimlessly until they find something, potentially missing all the content cause time had already moved forward, or try every option using rollback, which is too tedious especially for a 0.1.5 release. And yes, I know there's a schedule for the girls, but I didn't after a good while. It's hidden like a secret almost.

There are two things that might help with this issue:
1. Make the location icons bigger or have the names pop up when the mouse is over it. As it is, it's too small to know where the place is at a glance. The extra menu is tedious. This way it helps the player move about quickly.
2. Either add your schedule of the girls to the UI or have some indication where a girl is at a given time. I'd say just add the schedule cause ah... I assume the latter will be hell to code.

I hope this helps. Remember, every game in this site has porn, we've seen it many times. We like it. But if the road to get there isn't fun or even just tolerable, then we'll turn somewhere else, and that's not good.

There are some really fun open world VNs on this site. Disregard those.

Now think of the worst things some "open world" VNs do that really bothers you. What bothered you about them? Was it the grind? Did it feel empty? Was there no direction? Did you have to randomly click locations for hours on end hoping to see a new scene? Did you have to watch those same scenes over and over again ad nauseum for no apparent reason? Where those scenes seemingly out of order or didn't make sense?

Well I'm here to tell you that this game has all those things and more. Lets add in some bad grammar and engrish. While we're at it why bother writing conversations at all? Just have *Teacher chastises student*. To top it off lets make all the scenes in Honey Select with the graphical settings set to low/very low.

So yeah if you have some sort of fetish for boredom and frustration, you'll absolutely love this game!

(So full disclosure, I didn't finish what was on offer because I'd been playing for over an hour and had only seen about five minutes worth of content, most of that was the same four scenes over and over again. But don't worry, if you don't like clicking the same couple of buttons and seeing the same scenes over and over and over again, the author has generously set up a Patreon so you can give him money to unlock the gallery.)

While I can ride out dark tags like the big R and B since I'm not some SJW here to kink shame, I'm just not the biggest fan of the renders. I like to support a game willing to go for some non standard content, some days I wanna virtually be the paladin saving the damsel, some days I wanna virtually be the necromancer with my minions holding her down for some pound town and kuddos to the dev for not caving right away on the whiners, but the render quality compared to what's out there these days forces me to say, while I like to give a 3 for games willing to push edges, it's only a 2 with that art.

Another boring click game with nothing to do.
The "Story" is boring and lifeless
The Characters look kinda weird
don't bother even trying this game, you're wasting your time and space on you computer

So little content it is not worth downloading.

Enrish is ok, especially if English is not dev's native language.

Main Deal Breaker is content behind paywall. Makes me feel as if the developer does not care WHAT kind of game he makes, as long as he can squeeze money out of people.

Sorry, but based on 1 and three, would not recommend downloading at this time, and based on 3 would never recommend downloading.

Review is for version 0.1 - there's a lot of room for improvement.

• There are numerous translation/conceptual issues. High school girls go to the bathroom to powder their nose, for example.
• Gameplay is hyper-linear. There are no choices, even if "options" are framed as such.
• The story is not compelling at all. The plot is of the "molest your siblings at night" variety, except done hastily, and there's also bunch of women who just throw themselves at you for no apparent reason.

I would definitely wait several versions before giving this one a try.
