Ren'Py - Small Coffee [v0.2] [SmallCoffee]

**3/5 Stars - Held Back by Writing**

Currently (v0.2), `small coffee` has a lot of potential lurking beneath the surface, but it's currently hampered by some significant issues with its writing. If I could overlook this major flaw, I'd easily bump this up to a 4 or even 4.5-star experience. The artwork is genuinely impressive, and the backstories for characters like Sarah and Zoey have me genuinely intrigued and wanting more, but the constant errors really take me out of it.

The most glaring problem is the inconsistencies with sentence structure, especially with punctuation. It feels like 50% of sentences just end abruptly with a period, while others trail off, leaving many lines feeling unfinished. This really breaks the immersion and makes the dialogue feel choppy and unnatural. Take for instance, "He just needs to be guided, that's all," which is grammatically sound, but then the next sentence might read "hey! don't talk about me like I'm one of your little pets" where we have a sentence that starts lowercase, followed by an exclamation point but no period or any sentence ending.

And it’s not just an issue of basic punctuation. There are also instances of inconsistent grammar and pronoun usage that make the whole experience feel very unpolished (which can be overlooked to a point with it only being a 0.2 release). However, it baffles me seeing these kinds of errors in games so frequently in our current era where it's incredibly easy to simply copy/paste a script into a simple grammar checker or AI. (AI: Grammar check this for me: copy & paste). I understand when coding the text, it's not that simple, but it definitely gives the impression that there isn't a master script for the project, and bulks of the game's text are just implemented on the spot.

AI/Word tools can easily fix these kinds of issues while not relying on them to generate an artificial storyline. When these types of errors are present everywhere, it’s really hard to forgive them.

To be clear, I think the characters and concepts here have great potential. From my perspective, the renders are well done, and the game has plenty of `juicy` content. In spite of the issues, the story still has enough draw to keep me wanting to know where it's going. If the developer were to invest some time cleaning up the writing and ensures the text flows as intended, then I'd be very happy to increase my rating.

In summary: The artwork and character concepts show good things, but the pervasive issues with writing are hard to ignore. If the writing gets fixed I'll easily bump the review up to 4+ star rating.

Fantastic game so far. Keep up the good work, dev. I would recommend merging the male and female versions into a single download, but it's not a huge issue. Even in 0.2 it has a solid amount of content. There's a few bugs, but nothing serious.

At least for now it's kinda okay, tried both versions and female version is okayish grammar error's and he/him being addressed either both or wrong for gender. Now male version is a mess i'd say same errors as female but in this one some images just swap to female version for a couple scenes and then back to male, and wtf is with his chest it looks like he pumped smth in them while laying down. For both versions if you pick Sarah scene first u get stuck on infinite loop, as well with names I think in first time meeting Sarah and friends some names are not the ones of characters its kinda confusing. Needs some more work but after addressing minor issues id say it has potential.

(v.0.2)

actually goated small little game
not every game is supposed to be a nuanced story where you get abducted by werewolf aliens that can mind bend
it has already tons ofcontent for 0.2
I also love the creators writing and Im sure they will explore more fetishes and givemore meaning to characters

Very good futa dom game. looking forward for more update. and the update 0.2 is quite big. Also the secenes are quite surprisung and not very repititive.
hope the next update doesnt take sooo long
ok i dont have more to say, but need more chars

quite a lot of content here for a start though the story line stop made me wonder but you can play past that to see more .....the story and renders are well done a few script errors to be corrected, but all in all a solid start

[v0.2] Considering its only a initial release and an update its really good. Characters are looking good, especially the bulges, situations are hot and this update even has some kinetic action rather then only still images. So its a good futa game and going in the right direction. Negatives are there as well but they are minimal and to be expected of a 0.2, like no walkhtrough or quest markers. But when you click on stuff youll eventually see everything so its really nothing. General vibe i get from the game is a 4 stars but because its still an early version i give the extra star, the flaws can be corrected. Highly recommend playing it

Great game, easy to play and follow the story, sexy characters. Also great that you can play female/male mc. A way to make money would be great to have for the next version because the money system feels strange to have now

[v1]
Little content with okayish gameplay.

-Story, Originality
You got to a city and study in college.

-Renders
Okay 3d models.

-Sound
Some basic sounds.

-Playability
Press icon, see a little scene or h-scene, repeat.

-Performance
Runs okay.

-Bugs
Not sure if I saw any.

-Animations
Still images.

-Voice Acting
No voices.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Couple of h-scenes and an intro of a plot.
Pretty barren, but has potential.

This is a promising game. I'm pretty excited to see the next couple of update, hoping there's a decent pacing. I'm thinking this is going be the classic college life with a sideline job.
It looks like MC is kind of horny and little vulnerable.

This is a review of the demo version, I’m a huge fan of futa on female games, and this is a great game for anyone who is a fan of that, amazing characters; I liked almost all of them, especially Sarah, Zoey and Linda but almost all of them are great, Anaïs as well, tho the character Emma felt a bit generic and bland, I felt she was mostly included to get some scenes, I think to many characters can be a disadvantage for the game, that already have so many good ones, that will maybe mean they will get to little content, I have seen this unfortunatey phenomenon in many games, many characters, usually this leads to content spread out way to thin so no character gets any depth or development, I see some warnings of that even in this demo, that is the main negative point.

Writing was in generel very good, especially the character Sarah, she seemed so dynamic and changing even in this short demo, the renders look amazing as well, the gameplay was good too but maybe lacking a bit in content here and there, which makes some parts feel empty or repetitive but this is a demo so theres still alot of content for only being that, overall amazing game, one of the best adult games I’ve played and I really hope we will see more of this.
