VN - Ren'Py - Star College [v0.1.1] [Space Samurai Games]

This is a truly high-quality game that immediately captivates with its stunning graphics and polished visuals. The suspenseful narrative, centered around a deep theme of corruption, is incredibly gripping and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm absolutely eager for the next update; with its cast of brilliantly written characters, it feels like a refined and even more compelling evolution of what made Eternum great.

Very touching story, well, if you have played it in the right way. The renders not that bad itself, AI animations are quite good no difference comparing to still renders. This game is helluva arousing as of me. Thanks for pubic hair, devs, the rare game that got this integrated part of the real woman.
In my favorites.

Not bad. There is a number of choices in the game that indicate different scenes and relationships down the line. The renders are good and the girls are hot. Much better than his previous game Mutant college which had pointless free roam that added nothing to the story or gameplay but acted as time filler.

I hate to rate it so low but like, just being true to myself here. I got a lot of issues lol.

The summary:
MC works at a gas station, its his friends last day (sam) who is quitting. After MC had a "affair" (could/couldn't have btw) with the Dean of his school who is also married to a State Senator, he gets his life destroyed. His son Cody, also steals his ex-girlfriend & only real friend Violet because she just decides to run off with him while MC's life was crumbling. Eventually leading to a confrontation between him and Cody at the gas station, where MC gets fired. MC finally beats this Bike Racing game that he always wanted to finish and decides to move on with his life. Gets approached by a mysterious woman named Zyra after seeing the message Welcome to Nebulus Sports which is some galactic academy that he's apparently just submitted his admission to, she gives him a remote which he takes in disbelief is actually real to get to her spaceship. Then Cody comes back tries to Kill MC because hes convinced he corrupted violet, since Violet deciding for the first time in 5 years to try and talk to him I guess (makes no sense again), which then leads to MC running into the Dean at her Villa after escaping, which then leads to the Father and the Son finding the MC in bed nude with the dean who is also bottomless because she couldnt control herself and chasing him down, catching him, putting him on his knees and ready to execute him, before Cody ends up triggering the space ship remote that Zyra gave him. Cody and his dad seemingly get incinerated and Violet somehow gets accepted into the University too. Thus beginning the entry to the story of Violet and MC (i guess?)

That being explained, The writing is just, super goofy. It has hints of comedy, and I appreciate them, but genuinely speaking, its just so bat shit off the wall, makes no sense, between the MC's decision making, the Dean, Violet, how they went straight to murder as the only option, etc. That the comedy could be unintentional and that wouldn't surprise me, considering how overly goofy it genuinely is. I dont know how in any universe the writing would feel excellent to other people, but I guess its their cup of tea, definitely not mine, starting off I dont feel any personality from anyone, just kind of comical cartoon villainy-style writing. The senator and his son are both completely washed. Violet, no matter how much of a piece of shit she is, and how much you want to treat her like a piece of shit, she's just always ready to rekindle with the MC, the fact you can even avoid scenes is kind of amazing because you practically have to force yourself to not get the scene lol. The Dean (Sherry) also similarly, just over-the-top, gasses up MC, sounds cartoony in a way, just devoid of any kind of realism, just really also wants to bang the MC at any cost. Zyra probably the unironically most REALISTIC character to the entire first chapter, and its in the worst way possible because shes clueless due to universal translation, so she's true to her alien nature, and doesnt get sarcasm, jokes, or otherwise, and comes off as a bit of a airhead. Maybe the only character that has any level of personality to her though because she sticks to it, through hell or high water and is very straight forward where the other characters are way too flexible and way too unrealistic. My biggest gripe is:

Violet - leaves MC for rich kid, 5 years ago, wants to rekindle relationship with MC for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON other than Rich Kid stopping at a gas station and treating him like shit for like idk Xth amount of time, was never specific but apparently often enough. She decides on this one fateful day that she's going to take a stand. So the face of the game, your "best friend" the love of your life, dumped your ass for a rich spoiled brat that has "my daddys lawyer" energy, and you're supposed to take her back without a care in the world and no matter how much you push her away, all it takes is one single "okay" and you'll sleep with her. It's just so.... lazy? lol. Give her a damn personality, make MC actually force her to work for her mistakes, actually do something worthwhile with the developments between them. Not "Oh hey I left you for your mortal enemy whose father made your life hell and who just tried to literally kill you, but now that we're stuck together again lets just continue off as nothing ever happened and we've always been together" Hell she's so devoid of depth or character that the MC himself makes her own choices for her. As said its like cartoon villains level of bad.

This game is filled with AI generation scenes which I dont have an issue with AI scraping scenes to make it better, but its basically all the scenes are AI infused so it doesn't look the best.

The renders are nice, for what its worth, but its a modern release.

Idk, just kinda wish I had that hour back of my life that I just put into this lol. I figured it wasn't long and I just wanted to see if it touched on the sports segment, but this just feels like your generic ai-slop game, and I dont mean it to be so harsh, but the writing is incredibly weak, and the characters have no depth, the MC has no spine for being a gigachad, and nothing really makes sense. The most unnatural elements of the game are the most convincing which is already in itself troubling. I imagine this will just be a good goon material for some alien/monster girl in DAZ style with AI-animations, but every single other aspect of it will be pretty bad.

Suffice to say, just go for gallery, dont try to understand anything lol.
Which is oddly disappointing to me because Mech Academy had a lot more going for it, even Mutant College for what it lacks, its nowhere near as bad, but this was just horrible in every aspect in my opinion.

Review for Star College (v. 0.1.0)

When I downloaded Star College, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — but after finishing my first playthrough, I have to say I really enjoyed it.

The writing stands out immediately. The script is well done, mixing humor and serious moments in a way that feels natural. The comedy hits when it should, but the story also knows when to pull back and deliver a more grounded tone. It’s a balance that many VNs miss, but this one gets right.

The renders are excellent — crisp, detailed, and most importantly, fresh. It’s refreshing to see new character models and environments instead of the same recycled assets that pop up in so many other games. The attention to visual presentation gives Star College a distinct identity.

The music and sound design are also solid. They fit the mood and enhance the experience. My only small criticism is that the NSFW sounds share the same channel as the music. I’d really appreciate if those could be separated — ideally, by moving them to the general “Sounds” channel or by adding a dedicated slider if possible. It’s a minor issue, but it would make a noticeable difference.

Now, about the AI-animated scenes: overall, they’re quite well implemented. They appear in appropriate moments — during action, fighting, or “intimate” scenes — and generally enhance the immersion. The only time I’d prefer not to see them is during normal dialogue sequences. In those moments, they can become a bit of a distraction. Keeping animations for key action or romantic scenes would help them stand out more.

As for F95 tags, there are a few missing or worth noting:

• Lesbian
• Harem*
• Interracial
• MILF
• Titfuck

*The Harem tag might be more of a “future” addition. The MC’s main girl has already made it clear that he can have fun with others as long as he doesn’t forget her — so even if it’s not technically harem yet, the groundwork is definitely there.

All in all, Star College is off to a strong start. It’s funny, engaging, and visually impressive, with a promising story that’s clearly being built with care. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars — a very solid beginning, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
