VN - Ren'Py - STWA: Unbroken [Book 1 Steam] [STWAdev]

Everything in this game is great.
The characters, the writing, the story, the renders.
I already liked "The Writer" and thought that had a compelling story and beautiful characters, but Unbroken exceeds that game by far.

It manages to tell a story about redemption, loss, betrayal and other heavy topics, but it manages to do so in a hopeful, not depressing way, and that is a feat. This could be just another pretentious Emo-Shitfeast, instead, while sometimes a bit melodramatic, it manages to honestly convey these feelings and emotions.

There isn't a single woman among the LIs that I don't like, and while there are trope-y touches here and there, but the characters are more than just one-dimensional. Except for maybe Serena, so far she doesn't even appear like a full LI, if she is dev needs to flesh her out massively in upcoming updates, because so far she is beyond bland compared to the other ladies.
Who all have a backstory and a background and feel like fully-realized characters, not just cutout cardboards.
All the girls look fantastic, but not two look alike. There are so many games where the women look like they are the same model, just with a different wig and different sized of breast implants. Not here.
Not even the two gorgeous redheads look alike, and that is something.
You have more sporty characters like Amrit and Kana, with nice, tight butts and perky breasts, but you also have a voluptuous goddess like Serena with milky, creamy skin and huge gorgeous assets.
As for Viridiana, it is a feat to have scars that are at once so strong that you can't deny them, but at the same time don't change that the woman is gorgeous, and she is. And at the same time, she has a real face, again, not just a copy and paste of all these perfect rendered ladies.

I can't wait to see what comes next, the highest recommendation.

Well, this is not something if you just want to have a quick fap. For that go elsewhere, even if the models are beautiful.
That being said:
The story is very interesting, as are the characters.
Their different personalities are just awesomely done and there is not a single one I dislike. It is really hard to turn any of them down, gives me even a ping of guilt for most of them. Even more so because this is one of the VNs where you can read what is going on in their heads even when nothing is said, I just love this, the subtle changes in the mimic that makes them look so alive.

I just ended chapter 4 and haven't slept with any of them until now - so I cannot really say anything about the sex scenes. But for me sex is the least important thing here. It is about story, characters, emotions, inner conflicts and this is extremly well done.

So easily 5/5 for me it by the end of chapter 4.

I think its ironic that I am on a site like this looking for story/plot development that keeps me captivated while being able to enjoy the enticing girls presented within the story. I think what most games/movies/shows/etc. lack today is the ability to present something that feels realistic down too its core and I feel like this game represents something that I have desired within my own mindscape. This game is truly great and i's both unfortunate and a blessing that I am so invested because the wait time is killer!

I really liked the setup of this VN. I already thought The Author was a nice game, but this one seems even better. The renders look well animated and the Story is quite nice and manages to transport emotions quite well which i really like in Vns. Cant wait to see some updates and where the plot is going. The MC is shaved, which i dont really like, but this one doesnt look too bad, you can still look at him Each Girl is quite unique so you can really choose what you like and what you dont like and the choices you have to make really seem to have an impact which is another huge plus for me.
So in conclusion, this is a game really worth trying and i cant wait to see where this goes

A great game in every way.
Interesting characters, a story that may seem simple but the author develops it in such a way that it becomes enjoyable, great scenes, plus if you already played the previous installment of this author, sure you will like more this VN. The only bad thing is that it lacks music

A great looking visual novel with a good story.

Pros

• Excellent renders and visuals
• Excellent character models
• Good story
• Good writing
• Good character development
• Likeable characters and MC
• A good amount of choices for a visual novel that have real impact

Cons

• Slow burn
• Animations are primitive, rough, and robotic
• Sex scenes are mostly with side characters through chapter 3
• Sex scenes need to be more passionate and longer
• Character models are a bit thick for my tastes - nearly all the females in the game have the same body type
• Too many of the female characters in the game share the same personality type. The only real vulnerable character in the game is Vi. The rest of the female characters are the tough confident type.
• The writing/dialog can get a bit boring at times. I found myself being tempted to use the skip button several times throughout the game.
• Game badly needs music

Overall, the game is a definite improvement over the author's first game 'The Author'.

The game is definitely story based and story focused but there was enough lewd content to keep me satisfied (barely).

I wish I could rate the game 4.5 stars because that would be more accurate. If the author spent more time on the lewd content and animations I probably would have rated it 5 stars.

I do like the fact that the main characters aren't sluts and you have to work for everything you get. No pornstar logic is a huge plus in this game. No 'magic dick' story which is so common with games on this site. No 'all girls throwing themselves at the MC because he has a huge dick' theme. Thank you!

The game is worthy of your attention and I recommend it!

[Pt. 3.1]

Top G will need to give this one a replay to give a proper review. as it stands the Top G enjoyed this one, story was a bit of chore to get through at the start but the characters and models kept the G in play. Stay tuned hustlers the Top G will give this game the review it deserves.

Excellent graphics paired with outstanding character-building and storytelling makes this one of my all time favourites. I must say that this one is definitely better than the previous one, and is on a trajectory to be one of the best.

Nice story - have already read "The Author" and liked that very much and this work is up to that same high standard. Looking forward to future installments. The back stories for all the NPCs and the MC are good and engaging.

Played this game without playing the first game in the series, and as good as that was, this is a marked improvement.

Writing: I think the first thing to say is that this is well-written without any other qualification, not 'well-written for a game' or 'ugh, at least it didn't distract me from the porn.' So that's cool. The only real critique in that domain is the suspension of disbelief that everyone you spend any time talking to is rich/skilled/smart/otherwise special, which really isn't that jarring all things considered. It's certainly the best bit of ero-game writing I've come across. If you're absolutely against all things moody, this may not be for you, but it also clearly has an optimistic bent to it.

Characters: They're believable and well-rounded in ways that sometimes defy expectations. The PC, for instance, is a bit of a twist on the classic "porn meathead" protagonist in that while he doesn't think of himself as being much more, it's clear that he does actually care about the people around him. Always appreciate not playing a psychopath. Personally, the LIs appeal to my tastes both aesthetically and in terms of personality, although Serena is pretty easily the weakest and least developed of the bunch.

Visuals: about as polished as it gets. The lighting in particular is what separates it from The Author, which wasn't exactly a slouch itself.

Pace: It's a bit of a slow burn, but for once it doesn't seem to be due to a complete lack of ability to edit. The strength of the writing in general definitely helps here, as it doesn't feel like it's dragging. If that factors in less for you, you may have a more difficult time with this one though.

Hotness: It's a little bit hard to say at this point, but what there is is pretty well done, although it's missing the tenderness and intimacy that comes from more developed character interplay. I thought The Author was pretty hot though, so benefit of the doubt to the dev.

The Author was a really good game that was made by the dev, if you haven't check it out, you're missing out on a really good story. While I do recommend the author other game this game is also fantastic, the story that it tell about PTSD is very sublime, if you wanted to try it out and haven't, I really recommend trying it out.

This title plays in the same universe as its predecessor and offers the same strengths, but builds on them to offer a much more refined experience. You could say there are two plots on display here. One is the MMA sports movie experience with the typical tropes of an upstarting athlete, or athletes in this case, dealing with the physical dangers of the sport, social and financial temptations and opponents that resort to all the tricks necessary to get ahead. The second narrative is that of the MC who has to navigate traumatic professional and personal experiences from the past and current relationships, offering an adult gaming experience while being mind- and respectful towards its protagonists. Personally, I just hope that the sports aspect of the game won't be left behind as the game progresses, since I really enjoy the conflicts that arise from it and the Rocky vibes that come with it: " [life] it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward "

It has great MC and great story. if you are into good story's then you will love this game. Game only has 3 chapters as of now (V3.1) but they are very good. Game has very interesting LIs, They will grow on you very fast... Also I like how you can develop MC. He can be horny dog asshole or Man of Men .

Only complaint I have is that animations are very jenky. Anything else is 5/5

STWA: Unbroken pt 3

Great game indeed, nice renders and story so far. Beautiful models too. In the future looking forward to nice romance routes. For now there is not that much Romance because MC isn't romantic he got some issues. Without a doubt redhead with freckles, Els is the best girl. Looking forward to more content of her. Want to know more about her back story. Pt 3 ended in a cliffhanger damn...

+ Great renders
+ Story
+ Beautiful models
+ Good writing

Well one sad part for me is in each part I wish there was more content with Els. But sadly there isn't that much. Hoping next update will have more content about Els.

This game is surely worth playing. Keep up the good work dev. Looking forward to next updates

Solid characters and story so far, Not to much challenge in decisions but still an entreating story.
Great great models aswel.
I am very interested to see where the fighting mechanics follow through into further updates

Absolutely amazing. A deep and compelling story that is opening up ina a slow but steady pace that is enthralling and compelling. Extremely well written. Rich, vibrant characters. Beautiful women. Exquisite slow burn on the sex, but enough fun bits to keep it really sexy. Highest recommendation.

To keep this short and to the point, this game is a hidden gem. Truly one of the best games I have ever played. Everything is top-notch; Renders, animations, story, models, and especially the writing are unbelievably good. Games like this with both exceptional writing and renders are very rare to find so I'm happy that I found this one. A huge recommendation from me for sure!

This is easily one of the best VNs on this site. I have written a fair amount of reviews for other games, and I tend to be much more critical than most, particularly when it comes to story and writing. This game, however, is excellent in all regards, to the extent that I have absolutely nothing negative to say.

For me, the story and dialogue are the most important aspects of a game. This game excels in both. I have virtually no interest whatsoever in MMA (which is the central theme of this game), and yet I was immediately hooked by the story. The dialogues are witty, natural, and extremely well-written. Humor is sprinkled into the conversations with great effect. It is clear that this dev spends the time to proofread all of his writing, which is virtually typo-free.

The renders and animations are top-notch, as well. Each of the LIs are extremely attractive and varied, and their personalities and backstories are well-developed. The MC is very likeable, as are all of the secondary characters. There is not a ton of sexual content at this point, but the game is so good that you don't even mind that most of the MC's relationships fall into the slow-burn category.

I can't recommend this game highly enough.

Wow! Games like this is why i play VN's. It's so refreshing to play games like this who put character and story at the front, and let romance and eroticism develop naturally.

I'll list some of the things this game does well, and then list some things the game could do better:

Pros:
- Amazing characters. All of the characters seems real. They have their own personality, motivations and interactions.
- Great writing! This is a slice of life story, wich i think make the best erotic games. It is very easy to immerse yourself into the story, and the sory itself is realistic, yet still a wish fulfillment kinda story
- Hot girls/great renders, the girls are very beautiful, and not to unrealistic for a porn game. The renders are very high quality, and the facial expressions of the character show their feelings and personality
-Choices! There are a lot of them. You get to choose your own story, and which of the girls you want to pursue.
-Dev has already made another good game, and finished it! Which is very promesing for this game. I can already see the improvements in this game from the last, even though that was a very good game, the dev has certanly stepped up his own game.

Cons:
-Player agency. There are a lot of choices, but many of them are you deciding how to react to things happening to the character. I would like the player to have a bit more control over the story. Choices taht might lead to opportunitets in the story, rather than choices that score points with the girl currently in the scene.
-Illusion of choice. More choices please! Doesnt have to lead to more scenes, or add more branches to the story. Just more choices bulding on choices leading to scenes/parts of the story.

Thats it really. Its a VERY VERY good game. Time will tell how good it will be, but it has potential to be one of the best. You would be sorry not to give it a try.

I ignored this game's first two parts. I've been burnt by a few fighting stories here in the past which seem to use fighting as a very loose reason to throw women at the MC and have him seem like the alpha. With little other releases at the moment I decided to give part 3 a go.


I'll admit I skipped through all the fighting nonsense and most of the dialogue at the start because I don't really have an interest in any of that. As I said, I figured it'd just be a way for the writer to explain why the women all try to jump the MC like in most games and deciding that, really I'm not here for the story, let's get to the good bits.


It wasn't until after the first scene (which as others have said, wasn't the best animation, but still a good scene) that I decided I'd want to see more of the other women and so I started paying attention to the story out of curiosity.

A few scenes later and I was hooked. I went back to the start to read it from the beginning to learn more about these characters.
Now I've finished part 3 and to be honest I'm more invested in the story than the potential for sex scenes.

It's easily up there as one of the best written stories out there with unique characters, amusing interactions, a storyline that actually seems somewhat plausible and choices that do seem to have an impact (even though some are just agree or disagree to potential sex).

There’s plenty of moments with some skin flashed, a nice outfit here and there, but for those wanting non-stop sex scenes they might be disappointed.

Personally I’m really enjoying the pacing and I’m very excited to see this game progress!
