VN - Ren'Py - So See Your Path Remaster [v0.02a] [AlletreeSSYP]

VERSION: v0.02a
SUMMARY: Not bad at all, but not great either
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 3-4
2. Animations: 2-3
3. General Visuals: 3
4. Characters: 3
5. Story: 3
6. Writing: 3
7. UI & Gameplay: 3
8. Content (amount): 3
9. Sound & Music: 3
10. Fetish & kinks: 3

Average: 30 of 50 possible points giving a 60% rating i.e. 3 stars.

PROS:

1. Models are good looking, apart from the MC who has little to any appeal to me (as player of the MC)
2. Writing is not bad, structurally
3. Renders are not horrible
4. Some animations albeit not great ones
5. Variation from vanilla H content (i.e. what you may consider default) there is at least the pregnancy kink.
6. Interface is different, but not bad, the email interface is fine, changes things up from the normal renders only approach.
7. Choices seem to have some impact, if not immediate and obvious, seems it could be later as there is emphasis through a report feature of your choices.

CONS:

1. Grainy renders
2. Animations are slow and dont flow seamlessly. They also short and have no camera angle options.
3. Music only in the game menu, no other music, ambient sound, interaction, lewd or otherwise.
4. Story is not bad, I don't think, its just structured poorly or strangely as its pretty jarring to step into the game and immediately you playing catch up to try and figure out whats going on.
5. The Bio screen can use a bit of work, just some refinement.
6. Email screen/form needs some work, I seem to have doubles of same mails and responding to mails should lock out the option once replied. I also am not sure about some replies and what the effect would be as there is no context provided.
7. Some script errors, at least one during my play-through.
8. Short, not much content currently making it hard to review

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• Good effort and all respect to the developer, though some work and polish is needed.
• Ending is abrupt and sudden with no warning save for the "return to main screen" prompt. Basically the games story suddenly stops, having a bit more natural end to current content would be nice.
• Biggest issue for me currently is that the story is jarring and jumps around a lot. Clearly the MC has some mental or mind related issue, which is probably what the developer is emphasising, however it throws me off more than interests me at the point.
• While choices don't need to have immediate effect, having so little effect is not really good in my opinion. Choices also do not make much sense always, like where the MC is from? What does it matter? Responding to email, do only critical or suggested? Not sure why the player has the option to even respond here. Does it change anything?
