VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Stray Incubus [S2 Ch.2a] [Flynn974]

[0.8a]
Renders are decent, with each new version they only get better. The character models are well done (Misty is cute). The story and the characters are great, the characters are well written, you understand their motivations and start to like them, the scenes are very atmospheric with the addition of music it has only improved (the battle with the Butcher and Specter flashback are my favorite in this regard), in general the story reminds me the best representatives of shonen anime such as Naruto and Hunter x Hunter. The sex scenes are hot and well animated.
Overall I liked the game 5/5.

Note: Render and animation quality gets better has the game goes along and sound is present in the more recent updates

Rarely do I get invested at all in a VN story but Stray incubus manage to have enough mystery and a likable cast that made me care about what happens in this world which in turn makes the sex scenes more effective since you care about the context.

The adult content is well paced which means the story never feels like it drags on too much.

The game got some optional maze-like puzzle segment that manages to add to the atmosphere. Those can be avoided but instead of completely skipping the scene like most game do we get a linear vn version that mean we dont miss any of the content there.

The game also has a cute spider girl.

I look forward to what this developer delivers.

The visuals are OK.

Except the MC's ridiculously long dick. I mean, I understand many VN makers have a fetish about oversize dicks, but this one literally hangs to the knees. How is he moving around with the thing?

The idea could be good.

The story details and dialogues are beyond bad. For example, This is just an illustration. In general there's a LOT of dialogues, but all of them seem extremely primitive and sound like all the characters MC meets are just props for advancing his story.

I think the use of Honeyselect 2 is a great choice for the game, it lends to a rather simple look that doesn't feel out of place with the admittedly low quality backgrounds. The story is interesting enough to keep you playing and wanting to know what's next and the charachters are unique enough to actually give the player a choice instead of just being a selection of appearance. This is definitely a game I'll be looking forward to playing more of

I admit that when I tried this game in its version 0.1 I doubted that I would like it, I thought it would be a game where intimate relationships with female characters would not have a basis of romance or previous love affair. But I'm wrong, it's a great game in many aspects, does it have things to improve? Perhaps, like everyone, but his progress with this game has been amazing. I hope it stays that way ❤

Stray Incubus v0.8a

Hands down 5-stars beyond any reasonable doubt. You are more inclined to give more stars if you have been playing since its earlier/initial release because you experienced the magic first-hand and witnessed the leaps and bounces improvements of it. There is nothing more I can say that hasn't been praised by others before. Play it and you'll see for yourself.

Note: For the best experience, let the VN unfold itself using the "Auto" function ( adjust the text speeds that suits you ).

Of course this VN is not perfect and certainly not to everyone's liking either. Some find the following off-putting ( but never an issue for me ):

For the sake of compliancy, the following is the review that might resonates well with others:

In my conclusion, this VN is indeed good but what truly makes it unequivocally great is Flynn974, the developer.

Extended review of Chapter 8 here.

An awesome game! 5* It's definitely in my top 5 games of all time, even though I've played hundreds! The animations could be better, true, but the girls are all very cute, pretty and fun! The MC is cool, with a mix of naivety, humility and sense of humor! The story or stories are also very good! The sound and the atmosphere are very good, you nailled it! Keep this up and I'm sure you'll be successful dev! Good Luck and keep doing your thing!

The early game has a lot of "kinda" messy storyline, BUT the sex scenes though. Absolutely BOMBASTIC awesome!! I hope the MC also find more MILFS to impregnate!

But seriously though for me story is pretty generic but it's not boring. I also note that it's not all sandbox if you don't want to go through it then click the piece that says Novel upper left so you can skip the navigations just like ME!

Thank you dev for this glorious game.

I am only about to finish episode 2, so looking at the changelog i have loads of content left ; D

Can't really say anything other than, amazing work Flynn! As i got further i began reading every line cus the story so far is interesting (A LOT), mythological theme, characters have life, our awesome OP mc, just waiting to show what he can do.

You dont even demand any money, despite the amount of content by now, i am shook your game can be so much better than so many, that make thousands of dollars every month.

Pure Passion - Full Stars ++

Playing 0.8a

Rarely does a game come along that is just consistently good from start to finish. From the animations, to the plot line, to the characters, this is a fantastic experience from start to finish.

While the developer only added music in some of the later segments, it seamlessly adds more depth to the storytelling, and something other than the sound bites so often found in Ren'Py games.

The only small criticism I have is that parts of the story shift to animations quickly, so if you're clicking through dialogue it's easy to miss a 'movie' moment by accident. I recommend playing this with auto-text. There is an option to adjust the speed, so it's easy for everyone to match their pacing.

This game has wild ups and downs. It started off strong, but then half of it was increasingly boring, then it started to become fun again, but halfway across, the MC becomes your typical passive protagonist. He was reasonably assertive and confident at first, but on the late parts of the story, he becomes a stuttering mess, always flustered about anything.

This was extremely weird and off-putting. I was really tempted to reject most sexual invitations because it becomes like he's getting pressured into sex every time. Eventually, he ends up getting sexually harassed often and even blue-balled this one time. Although I did enjoy literally kicking the shit out of one that molested the MC while he was sleeping. Of course, though, if you want to see action, you should be a meek little guy who can't say no to women. Right after that is when he starts to change again. If you act a little meek for this lady who was sexually harassing you, the MC turns the tables later and he begins to act like himself again, but that's already the later part of the story.

Feels like the part where he's meek and passive is only so to highlight the girls assertiveness and playfulness, which is weird, because they can both be so. No need to make one character dumb when the other needs to be playful.

Still giving it 4 starts because while some parts were not enjoyable, there was nothing extremely irritating which is the case with like 90% of AVNs. Overall, this has potential and if characters remain consistent, this could turn out as a great AVN.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this game until now. The characters are really well written and the graphics are great. I also think it's good that in this story, each character somehow has his own little story. The text is written in an interesting and funny way, I had a few moments when I had to laugh. Personally, I found the small sandbox elements in the game very refreshing and loosened things up a bit, and we even thought of the muffles among us, who could optionally skip the whole thing. I also think it's good that there isn't fiddled around at every corner in the game, although it's running on an Abdul page, it makes the moments more interesting. All in all I think the game is great and I'm looking forward to how it will continue.

Yeah, this is my new favorite adult vn. Tbh, i thought this was going to be a straight up porn with no story, being the MC is an incubus. Boy am i glad to be wrong, this game is amazing. The story, the characters, everything lol. Also, Annabelle is best girl lol

This is a great game, I like it a lot. It's endearing with sweet characters and an intriguing plot. If anything I found the slow burn kinda bothersome when you're supposedly an incubus. Just way too many handjobs without going any further, and if you go further it's probably a side girl. On the other hand it's a tribute to the rest of the game being good that I didn't get sick of it or lean heavy on the skip. Still... you're an incubus. Way, way, too many shy hand jobs. I really like the girls and look to seem more of them, though the last empty frame taunted me for awhile and I was hoping it'd be filled with Karolina or even Athena and was kinda dissapointed to have to tea and suddenly cringe to check and yeah, filled frame. Hole theirs a third page soon, because I don't think I'm forgetting this game between updates, it's good enough to look forward to, and I'll follow it as long as it continues. Positives far outweigh any negatives, by far.

My favorite game of 2022 continues to get better and better!

Fun, expressive, and overall likable characters that are top quality for HS2 models with a good variety of body types.

The story and writing, while being original, have a feeling of comfort and familiarity that remind me of older shounen manga at times.

The release of 0.7 and the addition of music and sound effects have added even more atmosphere to the game, especially the suspenseful scenes.

On the development side of things, Flynn974 is very consistent with updates and communication in the thread and has a great attitude and approach to feedback and criticism. I can tell a lot of work and love has gone into the game, and it's truly a passion project.

Overall a game I have enjoyed playing and I look forward to seeing how both the story and the development continue to progress and grow.

Amazing story, I don't think this game needs sex scenes, its just a cherry on the top. If this was a light novel, I would read that too.

Regarding the author asking for some feedback regarding music and if he reads this, I will definitely suggest him to continue adding background music, it adds so much atmosphere to the game. My favorite episode was the faceless god town. So, I would suggest to the developer to add music to that episode first, because the audience will definitely be hooked by that episode. Maybe he can confirm by having a poll for which chapter the music gets added to first?


Regarding people reviewing the game poorly because of the MC's behavior, attitude and logic of the story, world building etc., It's a fantasy porn game ffs, I know anime and movies worse than this, I would definitely recommend people to try this game out for themselves and form their own opinion.

I am only giving it an average/good, because of the lack of sex scenes.

Everything else, is actually pretty good.

The girls are different and, mostly lovely/likable.
The story is not bad, and it does take a fair while to go through everything.

Kudos for being able to do the freeroams as VNs.

The characters visuals are not outstanding, but since it's not daz pictures, it's probably about as good as they're going to get. They are NOT bad either, just... not great.

The only choice that seems to completely lock you out of a couple of scenes is whether you go home or spend a night in the dojo. Go home, you'll get a couple more scenes and lore that way.

v0.7a

Story :

10/10

One of the few stories which is heart warming and thrilling to watch at the same time, the scenes with the girls are cute and warm, but the scenes where you go out on missions are very thrilling and satisfying, like a crime drama or a thriller.

Characters & Art :

10/10

All the girls are cute. Nothing else to say, and the scenes are wonderful too, not much but the story more than enough makes up for it. But i am eager to see how the development of each of the LI's pan out in the future.
Misty is just a cutey who just needs to be protected from this harsh world.

Overall another masta piece and a must play.
11/10

Honestly, just a super fun game. Story is interesting enough on it's own, but then you have missions that are like murder/mystery and it just enhances the story that much more. There also seems to be a larger story slowly coming out in the background pertaining to the greater picture, rather than these missions or the day-to-day life of ninjas.

Renders are good and the girls are hot. Really bad pun incoming (read at your own risk) You know why she's named Candy? Cuz of dat sweet sweet ass. I understand if you can't trust my judgement after that.

Moving on. Pathing/branching is good. Not a lot of it, but it doesn't just affect dialogue. No LIs are forced. A little surprised that there isn't an intentional? corruption route considering MC is an incubus and everyone else shows them as super rapey. But it works, and honestly might feel a bit out of place to turn him into that at this point.

Definitely worth a play. I can't think of one thing I don't like about it.

TLDR: Cute HS2 girls, teens and milfs alike, good immersive storytelling with some fantasy/horror elements, consistent and fast updates, harem. Rated 5/5 because Dev is doing this for free at the moment. Would give it 4.5/5 if I could, only because render quality isn't as top notch as some other games.

I stumbled upon this game because of the maledom tag, and if you're a fan of that there's some pretty good content here. It also has femdom versions of the scenes, I believe, but I haven't played that route. Good amount of content and sex scenes so far.

One thing I will say is that I don't believe there are many branching paths in this game. The choices are mainly +rel with a girl or not, but I don't necessarily find that to be a downside. In fact, I think that's one of the reasons this game updates relatively quickly.

My favorite parts about this game have to be the mysterious missions that the MC and fellow ninjas go on. I think the plotlines are well written and I like that they're somewhat self-contained - kind of like short stories with interactive horror elements to them.

My second favorite part has to be the fact that the dev updates on a regular and consistent basis. Something that is rather rare in the AVN world. For this alone, I wish the dev every bit of success. Flynn, love the game! But don't feel pressured in keeping up the pace, since you seem to be creating this game entirely for free at the moment!

P.S. Dev started to put music in the game as of 0.7a, which can help with immersion a bit in some parts.
