Ren'Py - Completed - Strip n Play with Valerie [v1.1s] [AceX Game Studio]

Fantastic renders, simple and intuitive gameplay, surprisingly good writing, and an understated story that kept me interested. Lots of content for how short it was. The gallery viewer is better put together than Honey Select (I wish there was a way to control the camera, but that's my only complaint about it)
You'll want to save frequently, especially before making any 3 option choices. Starting over because of a bad choice or miss-click is annoying.

The characters, renders and animations are pretty good. The gameplay is really weird on the other hand (reminded me ancient strip poker hentai games), I don't know if the puzzles have some positive effect on erotic content lmao. Sudoku was the only puzzle that made the game playable, I wouldn't even bother finishing the first stage if it wasn't there. It's a nice game anyways, enjoyed playing it.

Good luck for the sequel, curiously waiting for that.

Really enjoyed this game.
The renders and animations - as also the models - are amazing.
The story is a bit hard to understand, pretty mysterious but that only intrigues one to find out and play more. Not many games can make a story so good that you are okay with banging only one chick.

Only big flaw would be that you have to play so many damn mini-games.
But since you can also skip them and since they also have sudoku, I will only take off one star.

Nice one. Deserves 4 stars!

Outstanding animations and model design, but the mini-games get tedious after awhile. Story is light, but has a decent twist. Some corruption vibes with the progression.

Overall:

Characters are hot, 5/5.

Animations are outstanding, 7/5. Great scene at the end of missionary and before anal. Lots of potential endings to scenes with player control.

Story doesn't distract, 3/5

Gameplay is different than most VN, but gets repetitive, 3/5.

Ok that was pretty hot.

Yeah, the minigames are repetitive but not hard enough to annoy you (maybe the last ones). If you hate them that much just go into the files and see the lewds.

Story isn't that impressive but I don't really care because its a sex game. If I wanted games with good stories and gameplay I'd play something else. Sex games exist for other reasons and thats why I'm giving it 5 stars, the renders and animation are top tier. Sound isn't bad either.

I'll definitely play the sequel.

I have mixed feelings in this game.
Character renders and animations have incredible quality.
This mechanic game is like a pimple on your ass. Puzzle, Valerie move an eyelash and puzzle, close their eyes, puzzle.
Boooooring!!

Good Points
+Character renders and quality looks pretty good.
+Animation quality and physics looks pretty good.
+At first story feels pretty bad and cheap even feels like we dont have story at all but when we close to finish game story starts showing and we are understanding story better. Its still not like detailed and amazing one but still its interesting. I want to know what will be happen with new game.

Bad Points
-This is probably most annoying adult game ever i played in my life... Game goes like this: Play puzzle, memoria, sudoku or brick for every ''every'' action. You want her lose bots? Fix puzzle. You want her lose skirt? Play memoria. You want her lose shirt? Play sudoku. You want her lose bra? Play brick. You want her lose panty? Play again. You want her touch your dick? Play game. You want her lick your dick? Play game. You want her lick your shaft? Play game. You want her lick your testicles? Play game... Thank god we have cheat for minigames! Theese are annoying asf. So thank you for adding skipping them still when we skip them we lost game main mechanic so instead of skipping mini games you could add VN mod. We could make theese strip or sexsual scenes with dialuges and it would be that much empty.

For The End
So this is all i can say about this game. It was short, little bit annoying and not worth playing if we dont have cheat option. So i hope he will make his new game without that annoying mini games. Story choice based VN could be pretty good for his game creation i gues. I hope DEV wont make minigame and sandbox based game... It will be even worst than this. So I'm praying for choice based VN game for his next game. I hope you will make less annoying game with your great creation ofr render&animations. Wish you luck.

Animations are really well made. Models are very hot(well Valerie mostly, Piper and Ivy are also hot but way less screen time). Mini games are decent but you can enable cheat to skip them if you want.

i didn't try early versions and waited for the complete version.

mini games
it's very tiresome to play seemingly endless amount of mini games, even with walkthrough and complete everything in one go.
ren'py isn't exactly the best engine to make these mini-games. they do serve the purpose, not the best but ok, except brick.
puzzle - right click turns piece clockwise but left click calls out save menu, and i just couldn't get used to this and failed so badly with low level puzzle.
memoria - can't click on other pieces until unmatched pieces cover themselves, making it really slow and not that great to play
sudoku - the only game i'm good at among the 4, and i really hope sudoku supports keyboard input
brick - the worst one, i couldn't let myself finish even one game.
i know no one is coming for the mini games and it looks like i'm nitpicking. but this is the honest opinion after playing so many rounds of them.
i finally decided to use skip option after the ending28 bug, the endless loop totally broke me.
i'll give mini game part 6 out of 10.

animations
the real meat of this game is valerie animation, smooth and nice. 10 out of 10.

others
i can't say the progression is simple, but well, dev offers a walkthrough, follow that there won't be a problem.
ivy and piper are more attractive to me, and because the sequal is about them i'm really looking forward to it.

What can I say ecept bravo. Seriously, I don't know what to review first: the excellent animations? The voice acting perhaps? The arousing positions? Or perhaps the fact that you can get virtually laid just by playing sudoku. And it is not even tedious. 10/10, great game, can't wait for the sequel.

PS: For those of you who have trouble with the final scene, you might want to check the thread comments. There is a quick fix around page 40, go check it out

This is a simple and straightforward game. You have a selection of 4 mini-games that you need to win in order to proceed the story. These get more difficult the more you progress (resetting between "levels").
The story is that you are a random dick being pleasured by a weird woman for...some reason (what's going on is revealed in the end).
The writing is meh but the visuals are very nice and I found Valerie's design to be very alluring - maybe because it's not exaggerated like so many other female characters in these games.
The games can get grating if you just want to progress with some instances of memoria and puzzle ending up being quite insane (is this dark square the correct dark square for this corner) but you can always switch up if one gets too hard and, since there is not a lot of story in this one, they space out the different encounters nicely.

I haven't reviewed any games yet. But I have to start with this one.

This is quite simply the best-animated game I have played. By far.
A few games come close in animation quality like: Being a DIK and Shut up and Dance.

But this game's animation is better.

There isn't much gameplay except for mini-games to unlock new scenes and progress to new outfits and new positions. But you can use cheat mode to skip the tedious mini-games. The pictures here don't do justice to how good looking the renders are.

The progression in the scenes is gradual but quick. It builds up very well.

1) Renders =Beautiful (5/5)
2) Animation = Best 3d animations here. (5/5)
3) Progression =Rapid but meaningful (4.5/5)
4) Gameplay= There is no grind if you skip the mini games. It can be confusing at times to try to figure out how to progress. (4/5)
5) Story = Isn't long but is interesting. You won't pay attention to it though, the animations will distract you. (3/5)


Overall - 5/5. Nothing really can knock a star down. This more like interactive porn than a game. Its incredibly well made.

Go donate to the developer. Its the only dev I support so far.

This is an excellent game, while the mini games are nothing out of this world the images and the all around feeling of the game is very sexy and well done.

even the story is entertaining enough, not much grind and you can get to the smut really fast with increasing levels of smuttiness every new chapter of the game

Incredible game with an insane amount of renders and animations. A surprising amount of intrigue in the story as well. All characters are stunning. Minigames can be a bit repetitive and boring but there's a cheat mode to make getting past them much quicker.

Finding this game has restored my faith in porn game devs.

About the game:

It's a puzzle based game with a main character girl, you just play some puzzles to unlock scenes, you can cheat easily with no negative consecuenses, or can just enjoy the mini-games and try to explore the different scenes that can be unlocked.

The 'second' character girls are hot and crazy, I really find all their weirdness really hot, may be hotter than the main character.

The story progresses in a way that doesn't overwhelm you, but you end up knowing what is going on without having to invest a lot of time reading or thinking.

About the dev:

This guy is putting a lot of effort making this game while working a 40 hour a week work and he gives feedback all the time and doesn't cry about how hard is life and how that hardware/software update slowed down the development. I really apreciate that good atittude and enthusiasm.

Just give this game a try, there is no incoherent grind, no bs, just a good easy and happy porn game.

Strange game here,
The gameplay is based on mini games, and though it looks like a a normal strip game at first it has ... a background story.

Major pros : The renders are beyond good, the animations are state of the art
Pros: Cheat mode available for those who hate mini games, there's a gallery.

Only thing i think is a bit misleading: sometimes the story won't progress if you don't meet a certain requirement that is only implied (having 10 cum points at the critical moment for example) .

Overall: 4.5/5 rounded to 5 because 4 seems unfair

Kind of Game with sexual content that you would expect:

-Hot/Sexy/Gorgeous/Goddess protagonist
-Stunning graphics
-Good Animations
-Gallery
-Very fun mechanics
-Fast dialogue

Resume:
You can enjoy this game without any bs. Very well made, simple and with an amazing quality. 10/10

This game has one of the best renders and animations. It lacks some story, but overall it's one of the best games I've ever played. The gameplay is also good, but a bit hard. If there was a difficulty choose it would definitely be better

The game seems to have a very simple basis on the surface with mini-game progression etc but actually the system serves as a premise for both the story and mental exercise for the player(with cheat&bypass mini-game option given for those who don't want to)

The character design and the animations are superb. The artistic sense is(which is subjective) is also impeccable for me. The scenes are really arousing for 3D art.

The developer seems to be genuine person from what I can tell and I'm looking forward for the game to be finished so I can compensate him/her for the hours he/she put in to this.

10/10

mini games needs to die in a fire. (IMHO ofc)

other that that, the animations are some of the best i'v seen, the characters are hot.
And one thing this dev does better than most, is facial expressions, they don't look fake/weird.

wish he would do I Vn in the future, but this is a really good way start and to show of your skills, atleast as an animator.
