Ren'Py - Stranded Dick [v0.14] [Sex and Games]

Brilliant idea. Perfect setting. Lovely characters and rending. Waaay too grindy and buggy, however.

I played on easiest setting since I figured it'd be less grindy but having to keep gathering wood, rocks and berries and whatnot for god knows how many days and having to be at the right place at the right time or risk having to go through a whole other day of grinding. I also think the instructions are very vague and sometimes it's very hard to figure out what to do.

Ended up just quitting cause I got stuck on two quests at the same time and there is no way to move forward. Having to fish for some yellow fish (got the equipment already, but it says I don't) nothing works. And also I "found the cards and should use them to win at the coin game" but it keeps replaying the same old coin game scenes every time and there is nothing else to do with the cards. I cba going back to an older save in case it bugged out.

Probably would've enjoyed it more as a novel or something. Still great and promising work from dev.

Good game, animated scene (not all), interesting survive gameplay, more you play - better taste of reward ( i played 10 h+).
In the beginning i don't really like figure of MILF but after 1-2 h of gameplay she become hotter and hotter because of "taste of reward".

v0.11
Positives:
Ok renders;
You will find better but the renders are not a reason to skip the game.
OK story, although Ive only seen parts of it due to issues with the game.
(I played for several hours)

Negatives:
What makes this game a 2 star game for me is a mix of too much grinding and save game breaking issues. One of the quests in my save game started long before it supposed to. It refers to "the three of us" while we were still only two. It also refers to a hook Im supposed to have found which is important to the progress of the story and I have no such hook in my inventory. At this point I have no quest I can progress in other then the broken one that started way to early.

I could have started the game over and hoped for this to be a one time issue but I have grinded the same 4 locations for hours already, its not tempting to start over. Also I have played earlier versions of this game and have quit in frustration then as well.

One of the best games on here in my opinion. Great story and renders and scenes. A little bit grindy though which is the only issue. Updates always have a good amount of content and aren't too far apart

best game out there , great graphics, good story line. you need to keep your game up to get rewarded. In the beginning it was slow progress, but starting from chapter 8 and 9 things change rapidly. The details matter and the game keeps you awake in stead of of being boring . The different tasks are woven together brilliantly.

Good renders 4/5
Ok story 3/5
Slow tedious game play 1/5
UI is a bit clunky 2/5

The game play really cripples the game, I get a similar feeling with some linear RPGMs. Could work better as a VN.
Played for 3-4 hours finally got the fire lit, but i did not feel the game worth my time. Felt very linear and quite unintuitive quests, due to the quests portraying as non-linear even when they are linear and specific events have to occur in order, because reasons, to progress.

Nice development in the latest versions. More content and more frequently. Love the characters and nice design. Looking forward to seeing more content with the indigene characters. I really love the setting getting stranded on a island with the girl of your dreams.

Intentionally tedious.

I tried to give this game a chance, but it is beyond just a grind. For example, you have to read a book several times to learn a skill. Okay, that's grindy, but not that bad, right? Well, you have to read it three times, and you are only allowed to read twice a day... because.

There are tasks you have to repeat without any indication of progress, an arbitrary number of days have to pass before you can progress, even for obvious things (you have to wait a certain number of days before trying to start a campfire, then you have to wait more days before your character thinks to use dry brush, etc.). If there is a mod to reduce or remove the grind, that gives better indications of progress, it would go a long way in improving this game.

This could be a fun game, if only it would get out of its own way.

Hot models, but the gameplay is so grinding.
The story tries to merge things like to do list to get laid from every incest game and survival games theme, you can enjoy it but i don't since i must do tedious things to advance the story, replaying repeatable scene to get different outcome meanwhile managing hunger and time-based events.
Quit this game when mc give his sis massage, if i were him i would rather let myself go with the sea or stay away from the girl and become a monk.
Would return when the grind is reduced and the sister behaves like a sister, not a robot sexdoll for you to simp for.

I am writing this review because of unfairly one star reviews that are piling up lately. One star is worst score and should be reserved for really terrible games, that you really want to discourage other players from playing. And obviously some members are giving that score too easily just because they didn’t like the grind (that is mostly the reason), and they couldn’t jerk off one hour in, without taking everything in consideration or effort that is needed to develop such game.

This game is not in category of one star games definitely. It has solid renders, characters and plot, and developer obviously put alot of effort, especially programing to make sandbox game. Dialogues are also mediocre but not that bad.

I would give it 3 stars, but because of other reviews lately I am giving it 4.

Frustrated that I can not give this more stars at the moment but frankly this game's potential is being held back by some glaring issues.

The most notable issue is the level of grind required to progress. Even with console commands, the built in cheat engine, and the different difficulty levels, the amount of time spent looking for resources, eating, and managing your various stats really builds up. Some of this is to be expected with a survival game, but the whole gameplay loop could use a bit of streamlining. Additionally, quests require you to repeat the same steps multiple times before the MC succeeds. If these are locked behind items or resources you can only get once every one or two days, it leads to a frustrating time.

Speaking of slow quest progression, the payoff for completing tasks is usually minimal and dissapointing. While I do enjoy the slow burn aspect of the character's lowering their inhibitions, I was hoping there would be more diversity in sex scenes. As it stands, there is exactly one vaginal sex scene, and it lasts for about one paragraph. Scenes are sometimes hyped up in advance, only for them to turn out to be another hand job or blowjob that we've seen dozens of times prior. Repeat the same types of scenes over and over for the same woman, and it quickly becomes apparent that progression is coming at a snails pace. I'm pretty sure that you see the male MC naked more often than the women.

Ignoring the grind, pacing, and lack of payoff, the content in this is pretty good. The visuals are great, and the H-scenes are decent apart from my wishes for diversity. I am super excited to see more characters introduced, especially the Amazon woman that was teased in one scene. The environments and settings are pretty great, and it is fun to explore around the different locations for a bit to get a feel of where different resources are. The core gameplay loop isn't bad, it's actually kind of relaxing to get into a rhythm of resource collection with new resources required as situations arise. It's just that progression is so slow that the gameplay quickly becomes tedious and you don't really have an option to go forward.

With all that said, keep an eye on the game. The story appears to be ramping up and once there is more content it will be a lot better.

Version: 0.9

Review:
I'll be honest, I've played a similar game here on the site but with different graphic arts, my experience with that game was not the best because there was a lot to grind and this game is no different. But I'm going to talk about the little big potential that this game could have, since its plot is different from several games we are seeing out there (family, incest and home) but that doesn't change much either. Stranded Dick it's a game that you grind even with cheat.

History:
I don't know if I understand correctly, in the synapse of the game the MC is a student who has just graduated from high school and took a vacation with his friends on a yatch and that one night an accident occurred and they had to take refuge on an island. The story is interesting, isn't it? you'll be stuck on an island with some girls and you will have to look for them and help them.
But when we play the game, there is no plot like the synapse of the game. You soon find the MC's mother, but what is she doing there? I do not know.
But to say that the plot and the story has changed. At no time do you see the MC talk or think about wanting to look for others, only he and his mother stay on the coast of a part of the island trying to stay alive (grind). After a period (grind) you meet your cousin Jessica, who seems to be a little dehydrated and sick and then the "second" part of the game begins.
Gameplay:
I'll be honest, I used to enjoy playing sandbox games, but nowadays it's hard to enjoy playing that style of game. The grind that some developers put in their games is something totally boring and tiring, but of course, some even have less grind or with good management, but if you read the game's synopsis you will think it would be a VN, but you end up finding a sandbox.
But talking about the gameplay, you need to keep yourself alive and your mother in a great mood. Searching for food and resources and there's a day cycle that for me is a bit poorly managed. The quests tab can end up being a bit of a problem for you, as the dev should separate active quests from completed quests. Sometimes you end up getting stuck not knowing what to do and other times you can end up getting stuck in a bug without being able to advance in the story (I had a bug in The Pond quest that I couldn't advance)
Graphics & Sexual Content:
Rachel and Jessica have great character model renderings, especially Rachel who is a mom who doesn't look like she's 20/30 years old like you see in A LOT of incest games out there. She appears to be around 40 years old and Jessica is the same age as the MC, 20 years old (This is great!). Talking about the sexual content, I don't know if it will let you down or not, as there are few that can satisfy you. At IMO I found it ok, the animations and sexual positions too, nothing big or bad to see.

Why I did gave 1 star?
Although the game has two attractive female models, unfortunately the game did not captivate me with its gameplay. Not that it's horrible to play or that its crafting system is bad, but it's because of the grind and other things. Let's remember, the plot was supposed to be MC with his friends and an accident happens and they all go to an island and there they get separated in a storm and the MC has to look for them. But the plot changes, the MC finds his mother and much later finds Jessica his cousin. The story so far isn't bad but it isn't good either. The dialogues between the characters also won't arouse much interest in the plot. The reason I give it a low rating is because of the grind and also some bugs, mainly one that prevented me from progressing in the story because it ended up being frustrating. So, anyway, the game could be promising if it was made in VN, not that I'm saying sandbox is bad, I like it, but it didn't speculate all expectations. I wish the dev luck, maybe I'll follow the game and then when it improves I'll change my opinion.

Unfortunately, this game is pretty much a pointless grind quest. It has vapid characters and the gameplay loop is extremely boring. You're better off being stranded on an actual island than playing this game.

great story progress, good renders, quest system is very good and detailed, story is kinda good and gets even better with updates, mom and cus characters are hot, not buggy ( at least i didn't ran into any)
8/10.

Sounds like a great game to me! It has everything I need in a game, and the survival touch gives it a great touch to entertain more than just doing the missions.

The speed of how relationships develop seems perfect to me, it is not slow nor has it been especially long. Although I personally like it, that it is not easy and take it as a real challenge. It is what gives life to a game of this type.

My sincerest congratulations! The inventory menu is amazing and very original. It is one of the favorite games, I will wait impatiently for the next updates.

Great models, nice slow burn on the story, and an interesting premise are all positives for this game. Sadly, even with the cheat codes there is a ridiculous amount of grind. Overall I enjoyed the game, but I don't think I'll be coming back for future versions unless the grind gets greatly reduced, rollback gets added, and/or a much more robust cheat mod comes out.

This is a very good game. Αnd we are talking about a real game and not a VN. Τhe girls are very beautiful and the graphics of the island too.
I do not mind that it has a few love scenes, but they are just too short in duration for the effort you have made to reach them. The 2 major negatives are that it doesn't roolback and that you need walkthrough to continue the game, especially at the latest update when the campfire doesn't work...

This game promised a lot when it started, the model of Rachel is totally amazing and is the only thing that keeps me playing this game, but it's not fun to play at all.
There is a lot of excessive crafting that you don't want to deal with in a porn game, there are very little scenes for being a 0.7 version.
English is awful.
Sometimes you'll have to cheat to be able to progress on the game (just watch the comments here, everyone is talking about cheating console variables, which by the way are in Spanish, even me being a native Spanish speaker I'm annoyed by that).
If you still manage to endure all this and unlock the porn scenes, the scenes are totally robotic, the dialogue between characters is forced, it's like the porn scene is a chore. A total letdown.

This one is okay. It's padded to hell and unclear on what to do at points but it's competent. More super standed DAZ models and the night scenes are far too dark. My advice would be use a dim blue light to make it so you can actually see things and still look like a night scene, but I'm screaming into a void, I know. I don't like this one as much as a similar game. Ultimately this one just doesn't stand out to me.

One of the only few sand box games done really well, also the mom model is awesome. Hints are adequate to guide through the game , no need to walka around like a headlesschicken like majority of sandboxes.The slow pace may put off a few, but i think its well suited for this game.I cant wait for the game to progress more. Keep up the good work
