Ren'Py - Stranded in Space [Days 1-20] [WildMan Games]

v1-8
Harem Space story, MC is only male with a spaceship full of women.
Gameplay focused too much on the SMS-type communications via laptop. Why doesn't he talk to the women in person? Didn't like that mechanic at all.
Models were decent-ish, some look weird uncanny valley though.

Ran into some bugs, namely exception errors and hitbox bugs. Hitboxes are weird, e.g. door icon to log off requires clicking exactly on red lines, when clicking in the center of the icon the hitbox doesn't cover it. Same with forward arrow button.

No choices during scenes (positions, where to cum, etc), only manual mouse clicking buggy hitbox in top-right corner (would prefer it space would work to advance).
There is no sound whatsoever, not even music. Lowers the experience for me, since reading in utter silence robs the flair/atmosphere.

Overall average title. If it had sound design and non-buggy hitboxes this would rate at least 1 star higher.

Fantastic start to a solid visual novel game. First off, love all the characters and designs. It was a blast to play and get to know the solid cast. While the scenario is a bit of a trope, you did a good job with it here and I actually like the whole amnesia aspect to the MC due to the way it seems you are using that trope to allow the player to guide a bit of the MC's personality (choosing between being a nice person and your older self).

I do feel the game is a bit too much on rails so far as the "big" choices don't start coming into play until the end of the first 8 days aka the end of the demo, but that said I like where the game is going and hopefully there will be more player choices and maybe a bit more of a sandbox/exploration style coming up in future releases (that said even if it not and the game stays with this level of interactivity I'm in and sold). Very interested to see where the game goes from here and otherwise I simply cannot choose who is my favorite girl so far... Gigi or Ariel maybe, idk too hard to pick yet. Great work!

Fun and lewd sci-fi, three of three right!

Even if the story could be simple, it isn't. As said before, the girls have really their own personalities and some are easy to get, some are a little more difficult and a few seems nearly impossible to get. But I believe in the MC and his AI frind (who is really someone that gets this game rolling). There are also some really good plot twists that makes you want to follow the story even without the lewdness.

The renders are also good and the lewd scenes are ok. This is for the Dev: I hate the green arrow. As I'm really one-handed, my left hand is really useless, I can't get scenes going without using my right hand for the arrow. But I want that right hand somewhere else! Please do something about that!

That was my only complaint! So keep up the good work.

It's rare that you come to this site and see a game you immediately know that you and the dev are on the same Paige (heh...play the game, you'll get the pun). Prepare for the ultimate harem...IN SPAAACE! MC is Stranded in Space(as the name suggests) on a ship where he's the only male.

You're probably thinking this will just be a fuck-fest game, but it's much more than that. There's a good amount of lewdness here but don't expect to start fucking every girl right away. Some will be easier than others, some don't want anything to do with you, some will be all over you right away. Each of the girls you'll meet aboard The Endurance have distinct personalities, character traits, looks, and backstories.

Getting to know each girl is a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with each one of them, you'll get to learn about each of them as you go through the first 8 days.

MC is unable to remember the past year of his life and has no idea why he is on The Endurance (is was supposed to be an all female ship). He can however remember his life before the past year. So you'll be going on a journey with MC and his A.I. friend Paige to try and recover his memories and woo the ladies on board.

The Endurance is bound for a new planet and everyone aboard was in a cryo-sleep. However, people stated waking up earlier that they were supposed to and no one quite knows why (another mystery for you to help solve).

The laptop system is a great idea for a game like this, MC will use his laptop every morning once he gets it and can partake in a group chat with everyone and DM any of the girls you choose so long as they're online that day. It's a great way to get more interaction with the girls you like, and maybe get some nudes (hint hint). There's a couple gripes with the laptop system in this release but Wildman has stated he's taking care of concerns.

Most choices are fairly minor so you'll be following a set path for the most part. However, there are 3 Major Choices in this first release that will affect the rest of your game going forward. These are done in a natural way in-game where MC has to make some interesting choices, don't worry, no choice is a bad choice.

So get out of your cryo-sleep and get aboard The Endurance, any harem fan will not want to miss this one.

First time a game on here has made me audibly giggle, writing is excellent.

Personally can't fault the art.

Somewhat generic story but with enough character's and personalities to make it work so well and stand out from the rest.

Seriously....one of the best games on this platform ever. In my opinion. The story is top notch, the models are gorgeous, the animations are very well done. In summary, I love this game. What I don't understand at all is, why does this developer have so few patreons???? I will support him from today. This game is one of the best this year for me. Thanks to the developer for this great game. I wish you all the luck and success for the further development. You deserve it.

Warning: Rating may change in the future. Currently rating Days 1-8

Gameplay/Story: 4/5

Story is pretty solid so far. Although it was used before, the dev seems to make it work by actually building up any potential relationship with the female characters instead of having them all jump on him. Would have given it a 5/5 if there were some impactful choices to be made by the player, since as it stands right now it feels more like a kinetic novel (not that I mind it just to be clear)

Renders/Characters: 5/5

Beautiful and simply amazing Renders. GIVE PAIGE A BODY ! ! !

Music: 0/5

There is no sound in the game.

I see potential for this game and hope it sticks around.

I've just finished my play through, and I must say it's gr9.
Great renders, engaging story, and some interesting plot developments towards the end.

I don't usually play initial releases as they're usually quite small and can be a bit buggy or have horrendous typos. Not so in this case. There's a decent amount of content, the story is a bit linear to start with, but that's understandable whilst getting the background and story established.

I do worry that adding the choices towards the end of this release are leading to some branching that's going to create additional work for the dev with extra paths, but so far he's shown himself to be quite capable so I hope the releases continue on a good schedule.

Very good game with lots of potential for future updates.
It has many Li's, very different from each other and equally beautiful.
The renders and animations are pretty good.
Is one of the longest first updates I have ever played, it has quite a lot of content already (more so than many other game's 4th update.)

The only annoying thing about the game is the forced "paths" major choice of choosing one girl already and also the game abuse of the "online chat" computer, at first is nice and adds some interesting dialogues but it comes too repetitive after a bit because the dev is kinda abusing of it all the time.

Very Recommended game in general.

Absolutely incredible release--great art, animations, and the storytelling has me completely locked in. Also the added bonus of a fully-developed messaging platform with "side quests"? Holy smokes. One of the best games all year.
