VN - Ren'Py - Straight!? [Revamp v0.16.1] [Aaryn]

v0.20.5

Really nice to find some queer content on here. It's a college VN about the MC and his new roommate exploring college and their relationship. The writing can be uneven at times but I found the erotic parts well crafted, and overall it's a pretty solid VN.

Never thought I would be so emotional playing a VN like this. It's AMAZING. Everyone involved in this game needs to be congratulated. I see myself mostly in Zack and Mikhael, and both of them have really made me tear up sometimes. The writing is incredible and I can't wait for the next chapter!

One of the two best adult games I've ever played. The sexual scenes are relatively sparse, especially in earlier chapters, but its primary value lies in the beautifully written intelligent story, depicted via superb dialogue and wonderfully posed and rendered images (the latter increasing in quality throughout the game).

This is deep literature in VN porn form, recommended for anyone with experience of navigating the nature of their sexuality or otherwise open to the tragedies and ecstasies of love's roller coaster.

just started playing a few hours ago.
ngl i wasnt expecting much from a VN game and im not into twink bottom (or so i thought)
but after a few hours im very impressed, the writing is GREAT..
i wasnt expecting that i can relate so much to the main character... like this hits home so hard (was in a tennis club tho back in HS not swimming)
and i feel like branden is gettin hotter and hotter, need a better haircut too tho
im actually hooked now, so 5 stars for you. dont let this game die. ty ♥

Love this game, one of the best stories I have seen, and the images are really hot. The character development, and progression through the story are impressively written and really fun to go through. For sure one of my favorite adult games I have played. Really looking forward to the next update.

I went into this expecting a fairly standard porn game based on the college 'exploring your sexuality' trope that is relatable to so many of us. Since its difficult to find quality gay content I was excited by the screen shots. I didn't expect to get absolutely sucked into the story and emotionally invested in the character development. While it may be a slower burn than I originally expected, this turned out to completely blow away my expectations. Its exactly what I needed when I didn't know I needed it.

I just have no words enough for this game, I'm in love like with all my heart. (I'm finishin yet sooo, i'll do a better review latter) But for now, it just, touch my heart in so different ways that I'm afraid to get to the end. I could just play this game again and again. It is just sensitive, passionate, hot, beautiful.

I love this game. I didn’t appreciate the characters from the beginning but like every beautiful story I fell in love with their flaws until the end. The story is beautifully written, and it makes you live moment by moment leading to growing excitement, romance, intrigue and many other feelings. It’s just beautiful I cried several times like a little girl held in suspense like a violin string. Bravo bravo bravo

One of the best games of this genre I have ever played. Fabulous realistic characters and so far has been a joy to play. I cannot wait to see where the story goes. It gets better with each update. Recommended play though to see for yourself

Straight!? This name could stick exactly where we may think it is and yet we're talking about a game with a gay direction. I'm straight, but I'm mostly looking for good VN with an attractive story. Straight is no way out of this rule and even if it seems weird for some straight people to play a game with gay characters and a gay story, as long as the story is good and the characters interesting we shouldn't feel embarrassed to try this game. The story is certainly a bit simple-minded, two characters who tell each other their story and one thing leading to another become friends and more. But in the end when you immerse yourself in the story you are surprised at how your relationship with your roommate turns out. Graphically interesting, just a little more people are missing in the background in the corridors or in the amphitheater, for the immersion. Like I said, I'm straight, but for this kind of story "I want more."

A coming of age story with realistic characters struggeling with their feelings and emotions. A great story and fantastic realistic charecters. This game is highly recommended and I really look forward to follow how the story and the game develops.

Thought I'd try a gay game to see what it is like and actually really enjoyed it. This is the first game where I've ended up caring about the characters rather than just being in it for the sex scenes. As for the sex side, YMMV but I find the slow build up you get here much hotter than something that jumps straight in.

Story: This is where the game really stands out. Haven't played anything else where the story is so developed.
Graphics: Not an expert, so can't comment much on things like lighting, but everything looks good to me. I'm more into girls, but even the characters that I'm less sold on are objectively attractive. I like Cody in particular.
Amount of content: Loads.

A porn game with a compelling story, a guy that's hot as all hell and has deep character and so much personality that you wish you had a magic spell to bring him out of the story and into your life! You really like to make impossible contradictions work, don't you?

I got so sucked in by the story and the lifelike characters that I actually forgot to jerk off Instead it kept me in a perpetual state of arousal because of that fierce sexual tension between the MC and his love interest. They circle each other so carefully and tenderly that I was shocked when I actually got to see a hardcore scene. This story is really an emotional rollercoaster.

Gameplaywise it plays much like a kinetic novel, except for the first two chapters which are a bit more gamey with their repeating tasks. After that it's mostly linear which is fine by me

This Game is one of the few gay only games. It has a great plot to offer and good looking guys. The CGs are good quality. From time to time you can decide how to react in different situations. The plot is developing slow but steady. If you like gay stuff, be advised to play this good game.

The Gay Tag review

There is the word Straight in the title, but this game is told from a gay point of view and it's about gay relationships, so no mistake about that.

The essence of the game is a rather simple coming-of-age story, with a shy and withdrawn gay main character that falls in love with his roommate at the university. It could be a very trite and clichéd story, but it is tackled in the least trite and most elegant possible way. As other people have written, the writing is top-notch and it's a great story to be sucked in.
However, it should be mentioned that there's not much of a "game" here. Even for the standard of visual novels, there are basically no choices, except for a couple. So, expect to click on a lot of text and read, don't expect that you affect the flow of the story in anyway. It is also a very sloooow burner and also the characters -the inner monologues of the MC especially- tend to overthink everything, which is great to give that state of confusion and anxiety typical of the age and to deepen the characters themselves, but that occasionally feels like an endless going in circles.

One of the best games ever, although defining it as a game is an understatement: there is a deep, inspired, curated and touching story, it is an adventure to discover an extraordinary and ordinary person at the same time, the protagonist is splendidly close to a being real human, there is no talk of a game, this is a real life simulation. The narration is convulsive, deep, suggestive and beautifully made, the images are spectacular and infuse life into the characters represented, it's not a game, it's not porn, it is something wonderfully unique. Truly a masterpiece that will improve with the future. Many thanks to Aaryn for this story, a wonderful tale of friendship, feelings, love, honesty and lies, truth and wishes.

This game shines with its very well written slow progressing story and its well made CGs. The body and details are build with an carefull eye for details and not the typical fast made standard asset CGs we often see. However, it seems like it takes more and more time do deliver the updates.

I was just bored and looking for a game to kill some time when I clicked on this. Never expected it to be so good or so well written. I kept expecting it to end and almost gave up on it at the beginning thinking it would be another grinding game that didn't go anywhere. So happy I stuck with it, so cute. Can't wait to see where it goes next.

You do not have to be gay or bi to enjoy this. I am a straight so what, i decided to give this a shot, and I do not regret it. Honestly it inspired me to try out other gay Ren'Py. And I thank you for that @Aaryn

+great cg
+fantastic story (one of the few Ren'Py I actually read every line instead of clicking space bar to get to the sexy bits)


Support This Creator, leave him a review or comment. I am making sure to letting him know I enjoyed his work!

i honestly love this fuckin game. <3 the faces are truly wonderful, the storyline is fuckin relatable and not your typical classic straight into sex, in fact one of the first gay vn or just vn's in general where i actually paid attention to the story. and both characters have bodies that are the closest things to realism (not too buffy, or 8 pack abs or just too skinny). i honestly just love this fuckin game. keep it up
