VN - Ren'Py - Summer Crush [Ep.7 v0.7.9.1] [Wet n' Juicy Games]

This visual novel left me with an unclear impression, after completing the game I wondered what I had just played.

Since this is a visual novel, the most important thing for it is the plot, graphics, characters and music...

The graphics are good, a 4

The characters are beautiful and diverse, no questions about that

The music is okay, it could have been more diverse

Here is the plot... Hmm hmm, yes, there is a plot, of course, but what is it and whether it can be called good at all is a difficult task.

The beginning of the game goes well, and then someone decided, let's make some kind of detective, psychological thriller with a hero who catches hallucinations instead of an interesting plot...

Oh yeah, that's a plot, wrap it up, I'll take two.....

The game is extremely passable in terms of plot, as a game in the 18+ scene mode it is not bad, but there is nothing new and interesting here either.

Do I recommend you to spend your money and time on this, no definitely not, better download it in torrent and look at funny pictures and delete it.

Very stupid and convoluted story. Mc is a dumbass that has no business getting laid or being chased by these women, although most of the women seem to be mentally unstable anyway. I don't get why some devs include characters like Ela, that ... know what? , I won't even waste time going into detail like I usually do in these reviews.
In short: nothing but pretty renders.

You can safely write this one off if chase or actual relationship building towards the sexual payout/s is an even remotely important gameplay aspect to you . As the game thread screenshot incidentally sums up the whole conveyor-belt-on-steroids story theme perfectly in that picture.

You basically just get thrown into a fairly bland "FF and you won't miss anything meaningful being said" story and watch as your bumbling around MC falls into sex scene after sex scene. At a fairly rapid clip. Every girl already wet and more or less throwing themselves at you within the first few sentence exchanges. Because ....big magic penis. Zero real chase. Zero real anything for matter that actual makes the sex encounters feel even remotely erotic as they are getting shoveled at you.

Completely hollow gaming experience imo, and a waste of a fairly big 12g+ DL if that is actually a consideration for you. One extra star for the people out there who don't care about story and just hold down the control button going sex scene to sex scene (assuming the girl models in the screenshots catch their interest/tastes a lot more then then did for me).

Refreshingly different. At times the story hangs on for dear life but it comes together enough to stay on track.

This is not a harem game. If your ego can't take women rejecting you (or god forbid, loving someone else), you better step away.

Art is great, animations are good, there is a ton of H scenes and they are fairly well done. Most importantly though, the characters feel alive and the story actually has a mystery element that I did not see coming.

So, if you want to play something ambitious and different, this is a good one.

Amazing original and loveable characters.

This is one of the few games where I actually read through everything because it was so damn interesting. There are multiple choices that have a impact too and a very amazing story with a nice amount of plot twists and jokes. I can really only recommend this game and can't wait for the continuation of the story

this was once a great game, in fact I would go as far as to say it was the best by far, then of course the dev had to do what devs do best, and "fix" that which wasn't broke, the rework to chapter one, completely ruined the game, the original made a lot of sense, the rework just throws random shit at a wall to see what sticks.
the story is actually quite decent, it isn't the garbage set in a college bullshit that seems to be popular for some dumb reason, but instead has a story that the dev actually put time and effort into creating, by far the best story of any game.
the girls, they look amazing, so much effort has been put into characters like Mia, shame the twins got ruined, as Peach is now on her THIRD look already, but Mia they got perfect, shame she was pretty much ignored last chapter as she is by far the best character.
this game as it stands is a mess, hence one star, but it isn't beyond salvage, going back to the original chapter one, removing the futa images, and sticking with a look for the twins, would be a good starting point, the story is already spot on, and apart from the dumb changes to chapter one, the story is actually perfect.
one star for now, but remove futa from gallery and do a roll back to previous version of chapter one, will make it a four star, fixing the twins will net it the five stars. hopefully the devs makes these needed changes, as this game deserves to be 5 star, but currently falls well short.

I have just finished playing this game for the first time an I am deeply shocked. How could I give 5 stars to the game which I was about to turn off during the episode 1? The game that gave you no choice of who to go for? The game with many language mistakes and a simplistic dialogues? The game introducing the MC who seems to be one of the biggest wimps with a big cock I saw in any of the AVNs? The game in which the girls throw themselves at the MC for no reason? The game with the average renders? If the reader, stopped playing after the first episode - get through the initial mediocracy and enjoy the most twisted story I have ever seen in any of the AVNs.

• dialogues go from 'oh you are so perfect MC' to the meaningful writing
• MC ends up being really interesting and his inner monologues areon a different level
• after the initial (very long indeed) introduction the game allows you to move from what seemed to be a kinetic novel to the choice-driven, comprehensive story
• The LIs are not just shallow women who throw themsleves at you, but each of them has their own backstory and sometimes even a hidden agenda
• Renders improve along with the story. In the last 2 episodes, the renders are A+
• Environments full of people (mostly), great music, romantic paths - it's all there

I am indeed deeply shocked, that all the points I have mentioned above are well incorporated in a great story, which indeed takes some ideas from a famous Holywood Production (I am not going to say anything else, to not give you any spoilers), but it incorporates it in the multi-level intrigue, which goes deeper and deeper with every next episode. My recommendation? Play this game even just for the story, it's really worth it

I can say that initially I liked it and it had its own path, then honestly you don't understand anything anymore, a confusion with this mental problem, that you don't know what game you're playing, no choice, a mentally ill Mc, but worse, you don't understand who is his girlfriend, who is real or who is an actress, no logical thread, only one thing is top, the graphics, the rest incomprehensible

Even with mixed reviews I gave this a try since the renders/girls do look good. Unfortunately besides that and some good sex scenes, I couldn’t enjoy this. It’s not completely kinetic since you can refuse a few girls in a few scenes but overall you’re railroaded into doing several questionable things with girls you might not want to. Basically after going to a party you don’t want to go, you go from virgin (or nearly so) to being either a major manslut asshole or a moderate one within two days from getting drunk at said party.

The MC is a wussy, clueless idiot and at a few times a macho asshole. He’s also fugly imo. I’d rather he looked like Fren. I kept hoping he’d grow/mature some but he either remains an idiot or is easily manipulated by the evil mastermind chick behind everything. And how is this teenage girl so powerful that she’s practically pulling everyone’s strings? And why add the whole story with Ela/Chrissy? He had some extra renders around or so the mc could see what a nasty slut his former crush was or to make a convoluted story even more so?

Finally, even though so much seems to be on rails, if you want to see all scenes, you need to replay several times and for a few rare scenes you need to be really finicky in choices or you won’t see them. My recommendation besides the dev doing a total rewrite and getting a better translation for a more sensical MC and story, would be for the reader to get a gallery unlocker since just skipping all the inane dialogue gets you only about half the scenes.

Well story is pretty boring and the lack of choices makes it feel kinetic, the start should have been a prologue since you have no option to turn anyone down, and if there is one thing i dont like its LIs being forced on you as the player, thats why i never play kinetic novels i just dont like it.

MC also feels like an idiot, he has hes old girl friend whos in love with him and insted of thinking about that he just goes around fucking who ever.
He also wants hes ex girlfiend back that broke up with him 6 months earliere not clue why but MC just feels extremly submissive and for some weird reason he has 0 backbone.....

After he kiss and fingers Mia what does MC do, goes to some other girl get a foot job and what can you do as the player about it, absolutly nothing your just forced to play a submissiv man whore with 0 braincells.
So yeah kinks like footjobs are also forced on you.

And of cause MCs ex girlfriend is forced on you as well after you started seeing Mia....so you cant be faithfull in this game in any way and its not a harem game either so not really sure what it is, but MC is cheating on both of them but no cheating tag either.....and the plot can be seen miles away since your arent allowed to even pull out and creampie is forced, you can take a wild guess as to why that is.....hint yet another tag that arent there, that makes it 4 in total.

Story is also a bit of a mess, once Mia and Ruth meets with MC he thinks hes fucked since he had sex with both of them, but heres a newsflash Mia is a fucking virgin he never had sex with.....

After the weird twist if you can call it that, even the twins shows up at the hospital asking which of hes whores picked up hes phone, and if he something to explain....not sure what that is about since MC never fucked any of them, he barely even knows them.

And fren(MC) is talking about all the girls MC has fucked but thing is, i dident fuck anyone that wasent forced so that means only 3 girls Mia,Ela and Ruth.
Same when Mia ask how many and you pick the truth and say "more then i like to have" i mean really, she knows about Ruth and theres only been one more in my play through that MC had sex with.....so why not say that 1 beside Ruth thats it......but he makes it sound like he fucked all of them.....

Virgin scene was piss poor as well, no pain no blood and it skipped most by just showing a single picture with mc not even being inside her and just text like "The it point of no return is passed" and thats it and girl says "ah ah" so yeah 0 virgin 0 deflower vibe, just a standard normal sex scene, also yet another tag that are missing.

The girls that should be late teens looks more like milfs to me, and they mostly just have the same build which dosent make it any better, so tried to play on for story only which dident help.

In chapter 6 some text is in russian or something, making it harder to figure out whats going on...and it gets annoying that the story acts like you fucked everyone when you havent fucked a single one, my play through i fucked 3 the forced ones, 0 of anyone else, not Sofia, not the twins, not the asien girl no one...and you keep hearing about how MC fucks eveything that walks...
its just to kinetic where choices you made is ignored.

Also again MC is brainless, Lina who he knows now is a total bitch not to be trusted fucking accepts to drink a glass of wine, how the fuck does he never learn not do to that shit, even after getting drugged at the party, no one can be that stupid....it just kills the story.

Animations are about average.

Music is also average.

Choices are shit, you can stop MC from having sex a few times but thats about it, and when you do story acts like you fucked everyone.

Episode 6
There are some very nicely done sex scenes in this game. Lot's of positions and choices, well animated, very nice. The women are also nice, unique faces you've not seen in lots of games before. No variety though all are about the same age 20 somethings with the same body just about. No older women at all very boring.
The choices during the "story" just seem to exist to make you have to play through again. If the story was any good maybe I'd want to do it again but it isn't and I don't.
The MC may aswell be shouting "skip" seldom have I come across a story as tedious as this one. Watching grass grow or paint dry are adrenalin fueled xtreme sports compared to this, god it's awful.
My advice skip, wank, skip, wank and so on and so forth.

I enjoyed this game alot. I found the story captivating and interesting, and enjoyed the little clues as the MC pieces together the central black hole of what happened at the party. The women's renders are good, not great, but good enough for me to care about them. The storyline at one point calls into question the very reality experienced by the MC, and I liked that. Many choices, and they matter. As usual, I play as if it is going to be a harem game, and then as things come crashing down realize that it is not, and I actually enjoy that process.

I may be a person with simple needs when it comes to this kind of games. I really liked Summer Crush, something that the game does really works for me. At least enough to leave a review.
All the girls are beautiful, not all are exactly my type but they are all really nice to look at. As for technical execution of the renders I really can't say - not an expert - but I did not notice anything bad at all.

Sex scenes could be longer but they are good and varied. Several of them are unavoidable which many people - me included - don't like too much. I can understand why it may be necessary, considering the ending of chapter 5, but still.
There are choices and despite what some people stated they do matter to some degree. Yes, I would like more elaborate paths, but what is there is not bad at all and I am curious where it goes.
The story itself is nothing we have never seen before but it serves the purpose. People have stated that the language is not that of a native speaker and that is clearly the case. However, I have seen much worse and the level is good enough to not distract me. Just to point out the obvious, translating from Russian or any Slavic language to English is far from easy, and I think they did a pretty good job.

If you like beautiful women give this one a try. If you feel like compelling story telling is more important I'd suggest to read a good book.

great game. first off some renders-girls not that fond off. but you build some character wish there was more tho.
future in the game the renders start to look better and the girls start looking WAY better. and the story for me gets better with a plittwist that comes quite a bit into the game and i like where it goes.
and the picks-roads you have to take to get the diffrent girls-small routes for unlocks that i liked to try to go for.
nice game that i will keep a eye out for updates.
great job dev! good game keep working on ur passion
twins <3 CH friend <3 Asian girl <3 paint girl in last few scnes and in hospital <3

alot of choises feelslike dont matter alot and you dont get to say much. if you try to fast skip the game you dont really get many things you can deside youself on but many things you do . seems like only matter small bits some slowly adds up to a bigger chunk in some roads.

This game is a mixed bag. I like some parts of it, but then it triggers me at some places.
As many have mentioned, there are no meaningful choices for good part of the game and the content is just forced on you. Maybe its for the plot, but it would have been better to give the player a choice.
Biggest Problems -
- There is a smoking hot milf in the game, but you cant do anything with her other than some teasing.
- Dont know if i made any wrong choices, but whats the point of having twins in the game if you have to choose only one of them?

If you just want to watch some dumb sex scenes, then go for it, otherwise the plot is really lame.

mediocre.
Like everyone has already mentioned bad english, choices are mostly do you want to kiss yes/no. do you want to peek yes/no.
Models were good that's the reason of average rating.
some scenes were also good but overall not that engaging.

0.2
For me this is five star. Probably also because I decided to wait until 0.2 to play, so then I have game with some bug fixes and substantial size decrease, but this only added to already great value of the game. I also didn't notice translation issues other people complained about. Maybe because I'm not native speaker, or maybe 0.2 fixed them all.

But back to the game itself, I'd say it fits really great into my type. Not complicated, with interesting story, choices rather about picking girls than some earth shattering plot event. Very nice. And I must say, different characters are written good, you can feel the different personalities. I honestly wanted to escape from ex instead of restarting things, because she was, well.. well written nutjob. Kinda wished it was a possibiloty, but I understand she's very important to the story. And man, that plot twist at the end! Totally unexpected, amazing!

If I may suggest something, to make it more interactive, there could be some simple minigames added once in a while, or even simple point'n'clicks to collect those gallery images. I mean, gallery is there, so why not make it slightly more engaging for players, since imgaes are not really connected to situations they are unlocked with, but rather bonus renders.

Also if we're talking about renders,I have nothing to complain about. They are very high quality. And girls look gorgeous. Animations could give a bit of 'mechanic' feeling sometimes, but not very often, and sex scenes are varying, be it poses or content, so I watched them with pleasure, and didn't feel any repetition. Also amount of sex scenes comparing to whole game length feels just right, not too little to notice any lack of it, not too much to take focus from story.

It's first time I actually saw game with first release of that long gameplay. Usually devs just put very short fregments, but this one gets A+ for gameplay length. Nothing more to say, other than good work and I'm waiting for more!

Oh wait, one more thing actually. From the story so far it's safe to say it most likely be single girl end game, but I'm hoping dev can at least make the option of not having to chose one of the twins, but take them both. I hope it's too tempting possibility to have both instead of being forced to choose one.

Nice story so far, great cliff hanger on the end. Curious about what comes next.

The models are also looking good but like many other games i have a feeling i have seen them allready (but that can also happen because of the same engine or something like that). World is sometimes a bit empty but because of the story that doenst bother me.

So overal im liking it.

You can tell it is translated into English. Writing is clear (not Engrish), but some phrases and ways things are said feel wrong, enough that it feels notably subpar. Maybe a better translation could fix this?

But even a better translation doesn't fix what feels like inherently mediocre writing. It just feels like it lacks any depth.

There are two issues for me that are a decidedly bigger deal.
1) lack of meaningful choices. What is going to happen is going to happen, and the player is a mostly passive observer.
2) beyond merely being whiney, the MC is, as happens far to often, dumb as a rock. This isn't an issue of a poor translation. MC is legitimately STUPID.
A clueless MC can work as an excuse to shoehorn in exposition (needing things explained to them), or for the sake of humor. But this game has no need for the former and a dearth of the latter.
You play as someone with such a limited intellect that I'm surprised his mother isn't a main figure in the story, just to help him put on his Velcro shoes and a bike helmet before he leaves the house.
This guy needs both hands to count to 5, and might get lost along the way.

There is no enjoyment in playing a game with an MC who is so slow that he'd stand for hours at an intersection waiting for the stop sign to turn green.

I found it difficult to play this because of the writing.

It isn't horrible Engrish, you can understand it just fine, but it was boring and uninteresting,
It really felt like a chore to go through the game and due to that, I admit I just gave up at some point.

IDK, there was just nothing special about it. The renders were fine, but not fantastic, same goes for the design of the girls.
The story is really just there to carry meaningless sex scenes, which also aren't particularly good.

There's really nothing wrong with the game, apart from the weak English, but there's also nothing remarkable, nothing that made me really appreciate the game. No character who was special enough to leave an impression or made me want to continue playing, no girl visually stunning enough to make me want to see more scenes with her.
The MC is kind of a whiny arse.

IDK. This game is average, with a sub average writing, it works and if you only want to see sex scenes those will also work, but there's nothing to lift this above the dozens if not hundreds of similar games.

I don't think I will be coming back to this, unless there are major changes in the writing quality.
