VN - Ren'Py - Summer Scent [v0.6.6a Steam] [The Naughty Captain]

looks good, reads great, choices matter, creator's vision seemingly intact in the face of whining dickbeaters afraid of moody feelings scaring away their day's third ejaculation. high quality soap opera within the medium. 5/5 horny fragile perverts look elsewhere or at least don't strike out.

Probably the best visual novel I've ever played. The main character and Cassie really speak to me as a reformed ignorant jackass who was lucky enough to fall in love with the right person willing to constantly sit down with them and point out reality.

The only thing this is missing is some really calm relaxing constant music, but that's easily remedied by just going to youtube and typing Relax ASMR and finding something that goes on for 3+ hours.

Well that and a good walkthrough for Day 5, but like a complete version of this VN, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Thank you so much for making this Naughty Captain.

v 0.5 - Installed thinking "Looks good, might be interesting".

Wow. Recommend, and looking forward to updates.

Impressive image quality, engaging characters, interesting story with high replay value. This is an actual VN, and not just a fap slideshow - Decisions have consequences, and there are potentially "unhappy" outcomes depending on your choices. You have been warned.

This game is very well done. The models look great and stand out in a genre where a lot of the characters look similar, and the writing of the characters is a class above many of the more popular games on this site. The setting is a bit cliche, but there's nothing really wrong with that so long as it is done well, and I think it is. I would definitely recommend playing this game, and if you are able to, supporting the dev.

There are two main things of a critical nature I'd keep in mind when playing:

1) There are lots of different paths. I don't remember the exact number, but I think it may be more than seven. This is great for the dev since he has a clear vision for the characters. It's not as great for people like me who really only like a couple paths. Updates can take awhile, and while the quality is indisputable, it is sometimes sad to have to wait so long when part of the wait involves paths that you might never care about. It's a problem in practically every game, but a bit more present in this one since there are so many more paths.

2) There's a very bad ending, and the choices that lead there are not always clear. I have no issues with the dev introducing really dark themes. My feedback here, however, is that avoiding that ending (and possibly future bad endings) doesn't appear to be the most intuitive thing. There are some major choices that don't appear to be that significant, even on a second playthrough, that make or break your path. So, while this does not change the fact that I highly recommend this game, I also strongly encourage everyone wanting to avoid any depressing, bleak results to use a walkthrough mod or read up on past conversations.

TL;DR: Really good game, play it, but with a walkthrough.

Pretty decent game
Characters and dialogues feel surprisingly real lol
Best part I think is MC's character progression


The bad ending was something totally unexpected lol
I liked how I had to actually work hard for getting the good part and avoid bad end

So far this is one of few games in which I am completely immersed in. I like pacing and story, which is just enough complex and interesting but not too much. Relationships between characters are believable, dramatic, suspenseful and erotic with nice dynamics. Girls are hot and cute, renders are very nice, and I don't think that it should be more of them, it is just enough to fit the story. Overall, this game is my current favorite, it is just what I expect from this kind of games, nothing more nothing less, dev doesn't have some grandiose ambitions which almost never get fulfilled.

[Review for v0.5 - Love/Love path]

Good game with definite promise of being great.

This is not your average "19yo mc with magic dangly bits has graduated" game. Sure, there are sizeable dangly bits, but they do not define the MC. He has many shortcomings, vivid internal dialogue and seems to grow with the story. Definitely not a manchild.

I completed the "throuple" route and it took some doing. It felt like it was one in a million shot and definitely not normal. What's especially great is that the insecurities and problems a situation like that would cause is handled and solved maturely in the game. The taboo is handled well and fits the game.

Pretty light on the naughty stuff on this path, but it was completely justified. There was meaning behind the hot scenes and it was made infinitely hotter by the excellent writing. I would take well written static sex scenes every day over short animation clips w/ no back story.

Note: This game should be played with a walkthrough close by – there are bad ends which might cause distress. If going for the throuple, a walkthrough or a guide is pretty much a necessity.

VISUALS: 3.5/5 - good looking characters, surroundings. Could've been improved with more images to go along with the text. Sometimes the images stay the same when the text describes something completely different.

WRITING: 4.5/5 - best in class. The motivations, worries and monologues are great all around. Characters feel real and have actual development. There may be too much doubt and drama for some on the throuple path, but for me it felt justified and underlined the difficulty of the situation.

STORY: 3/5 (so far) - So far the story has been pretty much on the background, I can only hope it won't get too crazy or edgy. Maybe the real story was the girls we banged got to know on the way?

One of the best lewd games i've played
the renders, storyline, character development is truly amazing
YOUR CHOICES MATTER, so play your cards carefully.
excited and waiting patiently for the next update

This has got to be the best game on this site. The dialog feels so genuine that you grow attached to the characters. This coupled with the widely branching paths decided through your choices in conversation makes this game so enjoyable and immersive. Leaves you wishing you knew the characters irl, maybe even as just friends.

This is shaping up to be quite good.

This game has a LOT of choices, a lot more than many similar games.

Be warned though, that at the moment, failing to get enough points on a certain route, will lead to a game over late in the game. The dev is aware of this, and might make changes to lighten the requirements a bit later on, but as it stands now, I recommend you do frequent saves, manually, and do NOT overwrite them... That way, you can get back to a much earlier point in the game and pick different choices without having to replay the entire game .

Aside from that, the renders are pretty good, the story is not bad at all, and the writing is perfectly acceptable.

The characters are quite lovely and lovable too, and the MC isn't TOO much of a douche. He is a tiny bit here and there, but then again, he's not too experienced with women, so it's not actually too bad, at least, nowhere near as cringy as many AVNs are ^_^.

All in all, I recommend this game. It's pretty damn good.

This is a really fun game. Story is interesting, choices are matters. Renders and girls are beautiful. Lewd scenes are not animated but I like it this way too cause they are hot. I'm looking forwad to new updates in the future.

This recent update just released some twisted darkness into this game. Don't follow the harem path if you think it will be happily ever after because it won't! The ending i received showed the girlfriend being raped and left to die. While you "roommate" couldn't live with the resentment and end up offing herself. This was pure fucking shit on the devs part to show such a twisted path to a game that i thought was great. If anyone is deciding to play this game i beg them to wait for a walkthrough.

One of the best story based game out here, the darkness is the best and I loved how it progresses through the week. I also really love the two girls, and I hope there is more of this after it have ended

Really good graphics, nice characters, a lot of paths you could follow (from asshole to shining armour knight ) , looks like it will be one of my favourites. Also it looks like that developer has in mind even more possibilities that are so far only sketched, I look formard how it would evolve
Good job, man

The best part about this game is the rich complexity and branching choices allowing the player to mold the world to their preferences. High quality all around and you can tell a ton of hard work has gone into it.

I can't say anything negative about this game, a personal favorite of mine. I wish there wasn't a dude-bro character but he's there for like 2 mins of gameplay so whatever.
I cant wait for the next update, I love both of the girls already, the pacing and sex scenes are perfect, the dialogue is realistic and every single choice you make matters, which I really appreciate. There's a ton of routes and a lot of attention to detail, go try it!

Great start. The story and the renders are well done so far. This has a lot of potential to be a top tier game. Definitely will be following this one. Hopefully updates will be timely and consistent. Keep up the good work.

Updated my former 4 star review after playing 0.5 & 0.6—my disorganised critique in nuce: too many routes; so many choices where the player can not consciously decide anything (in an meaningful, impactful, and rewarding way); the bad ending is unnecessary & only bad insofar as it is badly placed & paced (the choices leading up to it are ludicrous); the writing could be “decent,” but loses itself way too often in long-winded, pointless introspective digressions of the MC with no value gained; MC is spineless, with not an ounce of self-confidence, a mere playball of the two Erinyes.
Two stars mostly and mainly because the visuals are uniquely good, & cause I liked the femdom route.

Late to the party! at first i was kinda skeptical to try this VN because it is still in a 'early stage' and i decided to wait, not the best decision i've made.

Pros :

• The characters looks great, especially our childhood friend & Kelly. Maybe because i'm a sucker for a short haired female
• The story is decent so far, it kinda jump a lot faster than what i'm expecting. Example, the MC and his childhood friend situation. One day they are at each other nerve and then tomorrow they like each other. The dev could stretch the story a bit here to slowly building it up.
• Lots of route to explore. Love it!
• The background is nice

If the story keeps delivering, i could see this VN will be a successful project.

I wish the scene is animated, not a big of a problem tho

100% RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GIVE THIS VN A RIDE!

There is not a lot of (lewd) content yet, but it's definitely a promising start! I really like the brother/sister home alone approach. It reminded me of 'Summer with Mia', one of my favourite games.

The renders look good, especially the character of Eve. The writing is also pretty decent, and I like the fact that you can choose between a 'love route' and a 'sub/domi route' with the girls.

Some downsides:

• There are no animations.
• The story is a bit confusing sometimes, like the dev didn't really think of which way to go before he started making the game. For example: on the first day you and your sister hate each other and on the second day you suddenly become best friends. One moment she calls you a perv and gets angry for no reason, the next moment they want you to go shopping with them. It's like the characters are all bipolar.
• The game could use some more guidance when making certain important choices. After my first playthrough it turned out I had only played the best friend route, even though I was constantly trying to get the Eve sub route.
