Ren'Py - Star Periphery [v0.6] [VoidPilgrim]

Great game, Love the futa on male content! Keep up the great work dev this game has been amazing so far, I definitely look forward to every update! I look forward to seeing regular updates! All the characters are super hot definitely like to see more with every character and the glory hole as well!

Star Periphery is a great game based on the Futa on Femboy theme. Initially, I was put off because I'm not a fan of 3D, Sci-Fi, and especially not a fan of overly wide hips and very thick girls (I'm okay with big breasts, though). And this game is full of them.

However, after a few minutes of clicking through the text, the game's atmosphere drew me in so much that I had to start from the beginning. This time, though, I read carefully. And that is definitely the strongest point of this game: the world, the atmosphere, the dialogues, the characters, etc.

I can't evaluate the plot just yet, as we're still in the stage of exploring the world, but the potential is enormous. Besides, the game is exactly what a lewd game should be. Simple to operate, without unnecessary annoying mechanics artificially extending the gameplay. Instead, there are lots of erotic scenes, rendered with a decent amount of visuals.

The game is exceptionally beautiful, and with each update, it's getting even more stunning, as the creator polishes their skills and implements them into the game.

If I had to point out any downsides, I would mention a few shortcomings. For example, sometimes while the game is telling a story, the screen remains black. You just wish that empty space were filled with any render, but this happens very rarely.

Or the game informs us that the character we're talking to winked at us or started biting their lip with desire. But we don't see that on the screen. The render doesn't change, and personally, I really miss that. I feel like we lose quite a bit because of this little thing. It breaks the immersion for me.
When talking to a character in the game, and their facial expression changes according to the situation, it’s much easier to immerse yourself in the character you're playing, and the story pulls you in.

The game has some shortcomings, like the lack of sounds (effects, music), but those are planned to be added in the future, and I understand that. But honestly, these are small drawbacks, minor imperfections, and things we just have to wait for until they're added to the game.

I was wondering whether to give the game 5 stars (I'll emphasize that I'm quite critical when it comes to game reviews). But when I compared Star Periphery with other games rated 4.5, I got rid of my doubts. This game presents a much higher level, and it wouldn’t be fair to give it a lower rating.

Will start by saying this game is amazing.


Set into a space scifi setting where The Union, a militaristic human government, already expanded over a sector of the known galaxy.
We follow the protagonist nicknamed Spacer, by the Union intelligence network, as he finally reaches the PS-X a space station at the edge of human space.
The place is also a melting pot thanks to having aquired its independence from the Union and being a safe haven for all the undeseribles the Union expelled from their core worlds: like for instance several alien species, people with lots of cybernetic modifications, futas and their families.
That is right, this is one of those rare gems: a futa on male game. ♥♥♥

Passing the synopsis we need to talk about the renders. They are gorgeous. Full of details on the character models, the scenarios, the robots and mech suits and the spaceships which is a must in a space scifi. As a plus those models were also heavily modified by the developer to suit the needs of the story he wishes to tell, so we won't be finding generic models here for the most part and specially on characters and scenarios.

Speaking of characters special attention was given to make the main cast (and even some of the side ones) unique. They all have their own stories and personalities. Amira and Lise may have both Union military background but while Lise has a quirky personality Amira has a more reserved one.
Iris the medical chief is a hardcore dom but maybe also have a softer side and Tess is the workholic who comands the despina ship and who gives some mommy vibes.
We still have the tall blue alien Markala who is responsible for the moving of goods in the station's spaceports, Ginny the owner of a seedy bar who is also behind a smuggling ring that helped bring Spacer from the Periphery Station 2 to station 10 (PS-X). And for last there is the mysterious pirate Eleanor.

Now speaking of Spacer, while we can mold his decisions in the game i am quite happy with how the story has been feeding some small details here and there about his past. Like how he is definitelly accostumed to doing theft and some spy work (with the way he tail a sahdy character to a even shaddier meeting) and even his past relationship with Ginny (doing some work for her) before coming to PS-X.

The ship models are also a pleasure to see, which is a must on a space scifi and finally the alien models.
I really love seeing some of the most different species like the tarnians which are Markala's species, the Zhabrani who are represented so far by the tall and slender ship courier and the creepy Stretchers who i like to call Xenos because of the clear influence on their design. Confess that orcs and goblins i associate more with fantasy settings but there are a lot more aliens species to see around the game.

Game is still lacking on the sound department but the developer already said he has plans for it.

All i all if you like space scifis, aliens, futas e femboys this game is a must play. 10/10

An outstanding game in this genre. This one of the very few futanari on femboy games that has a greater attention to detail despite the lack of animations. Even so, the game is constantly improving with incremental changes with each update along with the story and renders.
VoidPilgrim is constantly refining all of the renders in the game, past and present to deliver a very unique looking and aesthetically appealing Sci Fi adventure VN.
All of the sexual encounters cater exclusively to VP's vision of dominant futanaris pounding the femboy MC throughout the space adventure. What makes the kink stand out in this VN however, is there are different varieties of domination depicted by all of the ladies: motherly, rough, cold, sweet, or just downright slutty.
Not to mention the variety of aliens already present and more wild stuff to come.
This VN stands out not only as a really good futanari on femboy game (which there are very few of), but as a really good VN altogether.

So. Story, World, art, characters, all awesome. VP saw an absence of the type of game they wanted to see, and rather than grumbling, set out to correct that issue. Honestly one of the BEST Futa games I have played.
Down side
Limited content, at the moment, but the amount is steadily increasing.
More of a VN than a game, to be honest, but very enjoyable.
One person "team", so updates run approximately every 2 months or so. VP has wisely chosen not to force themselves into the trap of scheduled updates. Dinner is done when it is done. Like the Miso soup story, the best things take time to finish.

Honestly, any thing more I could say would be just regurgitating the statements of others.
TL;DR -
"Good Stuff, Baby".

Excelent CGs, interesting characters, VERY erotic and exciting scenarios. Probably my favourite lewd game in the last few years. It seems sad to me that this game doesn't get as much publicity as other projects, since it stands head and shoulders above most of what's on this platform in quality. I know the fetish is specific, but even among the other futa on male games it's less known. I hope the developer eventually gets the recognition they deserve.

Star Periphery is really out ahead in it's genre. Beautiful renders, loveable cast, intriguing storyline, and easter eggs galore. The only downside is that Void has only just recently gotten started so the content is limited. If you're a fan of Sci Fi and like futa on femboy, you've found a comfy place to stay.

If your kink is dickgirl on femboy this game is a must play.

Beautiful renders, exceptional wordbuilding, strong personalities and a blank slate MC makes is to you can really immerse yourself in this game.

The dev also posts frequently on this forum and engages with the community a lot, combined with frequent updates and a vision where the game goes is really assuring relating to the future of this game.

Anyway the only bad thing i can say is that the game is too short, if you can even call that criticism.

I played through all the available content and it's one of the best games I've seen on here. The creator clearly put a lot of effort and thought into the writing of the story and characters. Very high quality writing in general with no obvious errors unlike many other VN style games out there.

The characters are all great, even if they aren't fully fleshed out yet. There is a lot of diversity in personality. The MC is really likeable as well, with a clear goal and working towards it, not making any unreasonable or nonsensical decisions.

Love the Sci-Fi environment and main plot of the story. Great tension building so far, with 2 main antagonist forces threatening the space station where the current plot takes place.
There is so much potential for future updates too, with different planets, alien races and space travel events on the Despina (the big cargo space ship the MC tries to get hired on).

Awesome HQ renders and hot sex scenes.

I'll definitly be back for future updates.

If I had one word to describe this game it would be...INCREDIBLE!!! Man, the story is very interesting, taking a futuristic aspect in space, I also felt some references to some movies even though I'm a bit of a layman, I also felt a cyberpunk vibe which I like a lot. The characters, the world, the plot all seem to me to be very well done and planned, among the 4 main girls we interact with throughout the game, my favorite is undoubtedly Lise ❤ in several of her interactions man... I really had a lot of fun and laughed a lot at the bad jokes and puns she made. The sex scenes were also very good, especially with Lise... I think that of the four main characters, she was the one I connected with the most during the gameplay, maybe because of her fun personality or her extensive knowledge of different mechanisms, or because I like passionate sex scenes. Another one I liked was Tessa! I've always liked the "mommy" archetype in adult games, and she fulfills that role well, as well as being very sweet and endearing to us, and the shower scene... amazing. I came for one reason but stayed for another, I discovered this game while looking for new games to play and ended up finding this gem! An excellent game. Lise the best character ❤.

Finally getting around to giving the game a review. Some very slight spoilers ahead, but nothing too egregious.

***** Five stars, easily! *****

Would give more if possible, as this game is flippin' amazing. Quite comfortably the best futadom game out there. It gets updated fairly frequently, and every update thus far has been very substantial, which is sorely needed in a very starved niche. That alone is worth at least a couple of stars! Do yourself a favour and play the game. You won't regret it.

- Art -

Pilgrim is very passionate about this project, and it shows. The render quality is beyond the pale. Only one erotic game I've played comes anywhere near Star Periphery when it comes to character model renders, but it has sadly been abandoned. Be it the utterly gorgeous ladies themselves, or the (extremely) detailed backgrounds, you can very clearly see it's all got Pilgrim's full attention. And possibly best of all, it's so consistent, both in the overall vibe as well as quality. You might not notice the backgrounds every time, per se, but your subconcious does, and it keeps you immersed in the experience.

- Story and dialogue -

I have to say that I like it alot. Too often, a game with fantastic art is let down by both awful, grade school writing. Not the case with Star Periphery, thankfully! Sure, there are some typos and weird sentence structure here and there, but Pilgrim has dedicated Discord members that are quick to point things out and that bit is constantly being worked on.

As I said earlier, I do like the story a lot. I am going to have to be honest however, and admit that to me, it's the weakest part of the experience. I do not doubt it will get exponentially better as it progresses and things take off properly. Then again, if the writing was supposed to keep pace with the render quality, Pilgrim would be a Pulitzer award winning author, and not working on a futa porn game XD. Keep in mind that the story is just starting, and I for one can't wait to start unravelling the mystery that is the ladies. But I digress.

One of the strongest aspects of the characters and the writing is the variety of ladies on offer, and how they each cater to a different kink or desire. Are you looking for a strict domme that likes to be in control? Iris has you covered. Or perhaps you'd like a more gentle loving mommydom to soothe your stress away? Tessa will give that to you in spades. But you best behave, because mommies know how to handle naughty bois!

The point is, Pilgrim has a strong grasp on what people are after in a game such as this, and just how to implement certain kinks into the scenes with the ladies. You can always tell when something is created by someone who likes what they're working on. It shines through. He's also incredibly adept at projecting the confidence the women possess, and how they go after what they like. And let's face it, my fellow shy brothers; most of us would love it if more women took such strong initiative in real life!

--

Now, I feel like I should say a little something about some comments I've seen on the site, practically demanding Pilgrim do this or that, or claiming the game would be better with more regular females or Twink-kun topping, changing the way the ladies look, or how people can't see the appeal of the game and so on. No constructive critisism or helpful comments. Suggesting Pilgrim changes something is one thing, but these people don't do that. They demand the game be developed to their tastes, and get all uppity if they don't get their way. What a bunch of entitled brats.

The reason why you won't see Twin Kun topping anyone, or a whole bunch of submissive futas or women is very simple. This is a futadom game and created for us people that like such content. And most importantly, this is the game Pilgrim wanted to make. It's not that complicated concept to grasp.

Sure, adding those things might increase the game's popularity, but Pilgrim is an artist, and he won't jepordize the integrity of his passion project to appease the masses. Besides, the game is doing phenomenally well and is at the moment of me writing this review, in the top ten of the best rated games on F95. Not bad for a game created in a very niche genre! If you want a game where you play a 'manly man' who makes women his bitches, there's plenty of that content to go around. Go play those games, and stop whinging for things you won't get here.

Thanks for a fantastic game, Pilgrim, and good luck!

Absolutely fantastic, played every bit currently available and enjoyed it all from start to finish. The art is great, the characters are well written and compelling even the story is interesting.

I'd give it six stars if I could.

Really nice game. Almost perfect (up until now),. Interesting world building and story, great renders for the characters with awesome lewd scenes, Good scenarios with great attention to details and unique props all over. I just miss a little bit of linearity in some moments of the story, but nothing that compromises the experience. some locked options look very promising, i'll be waiting anxiously for the next update.

It have been quite updates on this game, and, unfortunately... there were all good !
Like this game work so good with me, I like the gameplay, the characters, obviously the kinks showed in it.
And damn, I hope we can finally have a good femdom game that will not be abandoned.

tldr - 100% Coming back to each and every update.

I wholeheartedly agree with the reviews praising this visual novel game, in the 0.51 version as of this review. The artwork is phenomenal, and the storytelling is already engaging and captivating at this early stage. The game deserves a 10/5 rating for its successful blend of dystopian sci-fi and trans/futa/femboy themes, which is quite rare and refreshing.

The gameplay plays and feels like reading a novel. While there are choices to be made they aren't implemented in a way where you'll have to play 500 hours to get all the content. The game's rich and detailed environments and visuals for the story plot scenes really add to immersing yourself in the setting. The "missions" are great as you can be a smartass/perv and not get a gameover 1 sentence later.

The character models, especially the futas, are stunning! The game features a variety of scenes that are both visually and narratively stimulating.

Kink-wise, the game focuses on the futa on male category, but there is already a wide range of content in version 0.51. I can confidently give it a 5/5 rating as one of my favorites in the genre.

The only downside I could mention is the lack of an auto-advance feature, which could make the reading experience smoother. Ren-Py's 1-100 `cps` system can be a bit finicky, but it's still preferable to manually advancing the text. Overall, I highly recommend this visual novel game and eagerly look forward to future updates and improvements.

Awesome dystopian sci-fi trans/femboy stuff, love it.
It seems like this type of game always has a very well-written story for some unknown reason. The gameplay is nice, and being able to shape the story with your multiple choices is a huge bonus, in addition to having a skill tree. Great game.

The Verdict
The best futa game out there with AAA polish, environments, sex, and world-building. Worth checking out no matter what, and a must-play masterpiece if you like futas & femboys.

The Good

• A futa porn game has no business crafting a world this interesting. The intro could the the start of a legitimately amazing sci-fi videogame.
• The environments and world are rich and detailed and keep you completely locked into the game.
• The little "missions" you go on are actually interesting. They help characterize the cast, further build the world and are just overall fun to play through.
• I'm a sucker for futas with gigantic tits and asses, and the models here are gorgeous. The developers lean into a few typical tropes but they absolutely knock them out of the park.
• This is the kind of game you leave on your computer for months for the gallery. The scenes here are so, so, so fucking hot.

The Bad

• The game is a sandbox with a handful of dead locations as of v0.5.1. I'm sure this will be shored up with time, but for now the only thing that managed to pull me out of this world was clicking on a new cool location, only to be greeted with a WIP message.

Cant believe a porn game with this kind of production values in a space/cyberpunk setting even exists. 3D models are amazing, world building is top notch and the writing is really fun. Truely baffling. Cant recommend this game more, if you are into its content.

R5.1

Star Periphery is a futadom on femboy mc visual novel in a well thought out sci-fi universe. Futas can be romanced and gotten to know through adventurous storylines that intertwine to shape up to a central narrative. Each ingame day has at least one potential sex scene in it, often with variations or extras to explore. There are around 20 days so far and also some places to visit that don't end the day. Has been my gateway drug to 3Dcgi, the quality of some renders can amaze me every time I play. Dev is kind, mature and very responsive to the community, has the workflow and story figured out. Updates are fairly regular. There are several hours of content but the game is still early in development, it's in its first of 3 chapters. Expect lots of juicy thiccness and being on the receiving end.

Negatives:
I can't think of many for the above reasons, but lets see: Stats button hard to find, it would be better if money or even stats and items would be visible (by default, on top row?). There are no proper animations. Main map readability could be improved to show where content is still avalable, but I like the looks of it. Sounds are sporadic. All the stuff I just mentioned are work in progress. Thicc bodytypes will not be the ideal for everyone, but this is more of an initial thought. Once playing you'll see the variation and each body on the leaner side is an argument for perfection. For others this same thing is the best part, there are some chubby girls.

Positives:
There are many reasons this game could be considered the best in its genre.
- Flexible Design. Visit locations in any order without missing out on content, there's no grinding required to experience everything you want either. There are some "bad" endings, but the game lets you return to your last choice. Did I mention there are "bad" endings? Additionally, there's no exclusivity or jealousy between love interests, and you can skip fetishes that aren't for you.
- Internal consistency is taken seriously. Approach to sex and character motivations are also firmly on the realistic side by porn game standards, meaning it remains believable so hypersexuality & fiction can shine. The universe with its various factions and species feels larger than just the scenes we get to see.
- Setting is not too grim but distopian undertones provide depth. Personal relationships with main love interests are positive. Futas & futadom isnt portrayed as inherently evil which is very refreshing after most other femdom and futadom games.
- "Spacer" (default name) aka twink-kun is often passive and doesnt talk much, suitable for self insert. Can be a point of attraction to some, inoffensive for others - this is hard to achieve with male characters imho. He isnt a total loser but an adventurous and even moderately capable little fella who can get recognized by the ladies. He is often teased or belittled, sometimes playfully and sometimes in a more dominating way. Eventually they warm up to him which looks different with many of these strong willed amazons.
- The futas are not one dimensional but markedly distinct from eachother, capable of wholesomeness and naughtiness alike. They can be easygoing or demanding in their own ways but also generally competent and genuine.
- Kink-wise there is variety, I'd rate the severity medium. No truly bizzare kinks and main focus is on oral and anal play/sex. There are aliens, and some things we get a taste of are in the hardcore category. Denial, restrains and sissification promise to be recurring themes. Cant wait for more of the kinky stuff.
- Skills are also utilized in the game: anal, oral, guns ,& tech, probably more to come. They dont do much but some content or small scene variations become available as they are leveled by playing the story. They do reinforce a sense of training your holes and shaping up for the challenges so its a great addition. A favor counter does the same for relationships.

I couldnt recommend more strongly if you are into futas topping you (or a cute femboy).
