VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sun Breed [v1.0] [SuperWriter]

The story starts off with a lot of exposition, and while it’s not confusing, it’s heavy on telling instead of showing. Early on, the dialogue with the girls feels empty and emotionless, and that never really changes. The main plot is boring, and the side story with the sisters is even worse—long, dull conversations that add nothing meaningful or interesting. The game tries to build a deeper emotional connection with them but completely misses the mark. It had potential, but the execution ends up flat and forgettable.

Choices are few and spaced far apart. They slightly shape your character’s personality and determine which of the two possible endings you’ll get. There’s no real good or bad ending, but some options can trigger a premature one. This setup adds a small replay factor, yet the lack of real consequence or weight behind the decisions makes it hard to care.

Visually, the game is mediocre. The models look fine, but that’s where the praise stops. Renders are reused constantly across different scenes and lines, backgrounds add very little, and the whole thing feels lazy and repetitive. Even simple actions like undressing are handled poorly. Animations are functional but stiff and lifeless, adding no real spark or emotion.

This is a game that could have been interesting if the story had more emotion or if the visuals carried more effort, but as it stands, it’s just a bland experience overall.

Based on everything:

• Story & Characters: → Serviceable but uninspired; pacing and structure lack emotion. 5.8/10
• Player Choices → Flat writing with dull interactions and wasted potential. 5.3/10
• Visuals & Animations → Decent models, repetitive renders, and lifeless animations. 6.0/10

I played (or more accurately, skipped through) Follow The Leader by Superwriter before this.

Wanting to give him a chance, I opened this up and quit within 5 minutes.

This guy has a unique ability to write meandering, meaningless dialogue that has no bearing on anything, is not funny or interesting, and slows the pace down to an absolute crawl. The only way to play is to skip through everything for a questionable reward.

Never again.

Quite good VN
Probably the best work of the author.
The Visuals are pretty good, and the story and universe is very good
(we also have a quest star from Rebirth VN)
MC is nice and the Li are beautiful and unique
The harem is very good (very wholesome and of the best feel good harem in the site)
And personally i liked the fact that all girls where straight
I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it.

Its not a bad story even if its a bit simple and vanilla its still readable, i would say its a bit to short though and your not given all that much background info in alot of stuff, so it can be pretty tuff making choices when you have no clue what is going on or who people are.
Story it self is pretty much a standard revenge plot.

It has a huge flaw in my eyes and thats the relationship build up or lack of it i should say, shortly after meeting your 2 vamp sisters your simply given a choice "are you already in a relationship with them" yes/no and thats it?
it really made no sense to me and made me wonder what happens if you click no? is that no for the hole game or will you be able to build something?
With the two human sisters its the other way around where nothing happens in ages.

Also theres only 4 LIs and no side LIs and you can only pick 2 sisters vamp or human or all 4 nothing else.

I did try a fast skip picking no and it seemed like you never get an option to do anything with the vamp sisters when picking no, i just think its a bit of an idiotic way of doing it, forcing the players to say yes/no before learning anything about them.

Very late game story goes to shit, hes wifes well life partners goes behind hes back to ask for help from the clan leader which is stupid on its own.
MC that should be very strong and even if you have the darkness power on top of that, you get killed by a single hit from the clan leader woman.....its idiotic, so you arent allowed to help your human girls that just leads to an even more idiotic game-over which is the worst kind of shit to make in a novel, on top of that it feels more like pure femdom and MC going all out submissive which just dosent fit the story in any way, it also makes you wonder what the hole point of MC gaining power is about when its used for absolutly nothing.

And its all just a stupid trick on the MC to fix hes mind? which also make 0 sense, MCs mind is infected with the darkness power thing but that never comes up, so no clue what they think they fixed putting MC through the test or any of it, since hes still infected with the darkness? just makes no sense.

And i just love how MC then thinks "But all my girls are safe at the end of the day and i plan to keep it that way" even though he could do fuck all when the leader told him she would kill one of them.....its just to stupid MC cant do fuck all and should be more fucked up in hes mind after that hole setup knowing that.

MC is also just way to submissive, like when hes pulled off the case when getting closer to finding the beast and truth about hes parrents killers, he simply just bow down and say thank you? why he dosent quit on hes own i have no idea, hell the officers pulling him off the case "could" be behind it but MC just say thank you? rofl...MC is just ready to accept that he cant revenge hes parrents and find out the truth...he just accepts? for what a shitty job he dosent need? sure it ends out him doing shit anyway but the point of him ready to accept it is just idiotic.

The girls are all ok, but the diversity in builds are pretty poor since they are all pretty much the same.

Animations are pretty decent but there arent all that many, theres a forced anal scene as well which im just not into, should have been a choice..
Also sex scenes are quite boring, theres no real feelings in dialogs or girls cumming and such its a bit meh

Music is mostly just meh and dosent really fit the vampire setting.

Overall its not a bad game but not great either so i landed on 3 stars for average which i feel is the right rating, to few sex scenes and only 4 LIs where your forced to pick 2 is a bit boring, also felt that for a vamp story theres just to little action and MC is just meh instend of powerfull so it feels a bit boring in the long run.

I give 5 stars - mainly for the coolly written interactions between the girls. In addition, the main character can be liked, and this is already a big plus in this type of game. The story itself is also quite engaging. Maybe the ending itself is a little worse than the rest, but not enough to lower the rating.

I walked into this with extremely low expectations, given the devs previous work, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably 3.5 Stars for me.

It's plagued by the same issues that their other games are. Slightly creepy, frozen expressions, the women always a little bit too close in conversation shots which feels weird and unnatural, the writing... being a bit too self-indulgent. As always the story is largely forgettable.

But having said all that, it kinda works as a character study. It works when it's exploring the relationship between the sisters. The MC really doesn't matter much, other than being the focus point of the relationship.

It's ok.

The story is good. I won't say it's SuperWriter's best work. Though SW has written some impressive pieces, they can't all be bangers. While the direction can be somewhat predictable at times, tropes being what they are, the story itself is a unique telling and is well told. However, I will caution the underpinning premises of the MC's origin take some liberties with the "science" bits that are injected into the plot.

For starters, not really sure how a vampire is supposed to be literally born when the circulatory system is pushing blood at such a slow rate as to make molasses seem fast (I think I recall something like 20 over 4?). Either the circulatory isn't strong enough to push the blood or there's simply not enough blood to support the additional life... unlife? On top of that, with such a low blood pressure, it would be highly unlikely our MC would have the blood flow to get Little MC up.

Anyway, I understand we're meant to suspend our disbelief, but it's far easier to do that when you aren't inserting science on us. People suspend their disbelief for magic and the unknown, not for everyday science. This part of the story feels contrived in a way to evoke feelings of Twilight but without all the unnecessary sparkle and tacking on a harem. Approve the harem, not so much the Twilight.

Lastly, a vampire spawn in a human mother would just drain the mother--that blood is dinner, and the kid'll eat well. Meanwhile birth from a vampire mother would kill the child (in this universe, vampire blood is poison to other vampires, unless we handwave that for the mother). Now of course, conceptually, it's "poison" to circulate the wrong blood type in people so it sort of makes sense, but it isn't explained like that in any roundabout way by the two medical students, leaving me to believe it's more like eating rat poison than getting the wrong blood type... and that's no good for a vampire kid.

Setting aside the general premise of our MC's existence, I'm also bothered by the vampire LIs confusion over common things. I get the part about not really understanding technology, they are in their 60s (but don't look a day over 21)... but they're only in their 60s. How do they not know what camping is? It's not a foreign concept for characters that would've come about around 1960. If you're going to do this, at least make them a little older. Like... maybe 300, 350, many generations older. I mean, there's a good chance they would still understand the concept as they've had to adapt to the changing times, but at least there's some wiggle room.

Outside of the question of how our MC exists (and silly character misunderstandings), the story is good. (slightly spoilery, nothing big) Some mythical BBEG comes back to haunt our cast on the 15th anniversary of the MC's vampire father and human mother passing, and only he, the daywalker, the man between two worlds, the... Sun Breed... only he can be the one to fix this as the child in the middle because of the tenuous threads holding a secret mixed humano-vampiric society together.

Of the LIs, my favorites are Camilla and Aditi. Camilla because of her personality, which is similar to Najah but without the violence; Aditi because she's hot and rational. Najah's a little too campy, it's difficult to take her seriously at her most violent when half the time she acts like a big kid playing Inquisitors and Vampires (it's like Cops and Robbers, but more fantasy).

Graphics are pretty solid. Animations are short and basic, but good. I watch an animation, I don't feel like an emphasis was put on a single part of the model for movement. No, everything moves and I really appreciate that level of detail.

Sound is good, no complaints there.

Going to knock a point off for the story feeling a little contrived and asking me to suspend a little too much of my disbelief while trying to dip the sci-fi pen into the fantasy ink well, but other than that it's a solid outing. Four stars.

Sun Breed [v1.0] I like the plot idea, I just didn't like the way it was executed. It seemed like there were whole sections missing which made things confusing there were a lot of scenes that didn't drive the story and seemed to be put in as a filler. The girls were good looking but I really didn't have a real connection with any of them.

Interesting idea and glad to see that someone took a spin on the vampire society.


Girls
The girls are all unique in their looks. They are not just some generic renders that you can find in other games. Also they change their appearance and clothes few times during the game.

Story
You are presented with choise along the way but to be honest I did not felt (or maybe I did not played properly) that it change too much. The love interest are written nicely, and you feel the bond between them, and how close they are. To be apreciated that MC is not written as a douchebag and neither as an immature 15 years old. The girls do not like him for his big dick but unfortunetly it does not explain too much why the girls like him that much.


Gameplay
I did not apreciated the fact that at the beginning of the game you are offered a walkthrough just to be redirected to the patreon page. I believe that there are better way out there to gain supporters, quality game and consistents updated beeing two of them. The sex scene are not so often and dev is not going too much in depth with them. Otherwise the renders are of very good quality and is visible that the dev put quite a bit of effort on them.

good game but the ending feels rushed, after the funeral scene felt like Devolper wanted to end the game quickly to go to the next project.

Hoping season 2 at some point

the story is decently good, experiments and scenes, girls enjoyed.

Was was the entire point of the girl's mother (Vampire) telling his human sisters that she'll owe them in the future but nothing comes up in the rest of the game.

Wasn't this VN abandoned for a year or longer? I was glad to see it back, but then shit went sideways. I'm honestly just glad that Val's hair isn't in the batter any more.

So right there in the change log: In-game walkthrough mod
But when you start the VN and it asks you if you want to activate the walkthrough, IT ASKS FOR A CODE! Why bother putting it in there if you don't have access? Great ploy to drum up some supporters.

Every time you interact with the human roommates, I get sex scenes with the vamp girls. Why?

Writhing is good
Renders are good

What kept me from giving this VN 4 stars is listed above. Back when this VN was first released I actually liked it. Then it was forgotten about.
Good luck to SuperWriter, but I'm passing on this one.

The game started off with so much promise before the rework, sad how it's going into another super writer fashion.

As a guy who love vampire stories, this one had me hooked early on in development.

The love interest were written nicely, and you felt the bond between them, and how close they were.

So at the start the human sisters were presented as not having much of a social life outside of speaking to mc, sleeping, YES correct sleeping in the bed with the mc, tits out and everything, and completely devoted to finding a cure for the MC, and were presented as virgins. Now they apparently had boyfriends and college, and more, which goes against how they were presented. It was not known, hinted at, or nothing that the human sisters had boyfriends, or sexual experiences until late in the game.

Before they were presented as being closer than normal with the mc, even they showered nude together (that the dev removed) btw for some reason.

All of that got smashed into bits with the current writing of the human sisters.


Also, the dialog has gotten pretty bad, with bad English, and void of any emotion.

It's the same with the sex scenes as well.

The sex scenes are short, and in 0.9 with the human sisters, it's just not satisfying in one bit, with no build up towards it.

It just happens and it's over, yup.

I can say the only positive is the renders, tho.
They are solid.

Everything else is pretty meh in terms of story in writing, and of the characters.

Like in super writer fashion, the game had a HIGH promising start, then starts hitting rock bottom as time goes on.

Overall, this is just my opinion, 0.9 of the game.

This game was good for vampire and supernatural enthusiasts, tries to immerses players despite being a kinetic novel(-1 start for me). It features a strong, likable adult protagonist, two enticing sisters, and two childhood friends, all well-crafted characters. The love interests are unique and appealing and beautiful(3 stars) as is typical of Superwriter's work. It was mediocre before 0.9 but it changed after that. The dialogues became more tedious and booring .There was too much of info dump before mating with human friends .I hate to force myself to read on fear i would loose some vital info.And finally the first sex scene with the duo was bland .From being weired out of sex to suddenly have sex .No buildup .Nope they even didn't have even a kiss .The vampires suggested to be in harem and they were like mmhh.. okay. At least camilia had seen his dick so it counts for common porn troupe. (-1 star)

The unexpected revelation about the human sisters' virginity status deep into the game was disappointing.They always slept with mc with tits out .They were even dedicated to cure him all time. But somehow they had multiple bfs in the past and the mc was not aware. I have played many other games where the LI is not virgin like summer with mia which was fantastic since mia was strong and experience women . But the human sisters in this game have been portrayed as naive and prudent characters who has no social life(at least none shown by the author (-1 star)).Maybe i have been effected by porn troupe and you can be judge of the game .

EDIT:Just wanted to tell this was review for 0.9.

I'm not sure if the developer just doesn't speak English as their first language, but it's a story that is both very frustrating and intensely boring. It's strange that it's somehow melodramatic and yet equally as tedious to read. How anyone can rate this above 3 stars is beyond me. Perhaps they speak the dev's native language and it's much better than what I was reading, but there was quite literally nothing about the writing or story that had any ability to grip me.

The models are good though, so I guess they got that going for them.

------------------------------
Avg: 5.29

I generally don't mind everything from this dev. That said, every story is essentially the same. And after I started typing out the reductive synopsis of "MC is isolated in a bubble with love interests that non- (or at best barely) fluidly decide they need to share him." I realized, that is the story to 99% of the stories on this site. But "SuperWriter" somehow manages to make all their stories still feel the same. Which unfortunately takes me out of all of their work to an extent. I will say, the interpersonal interactions and even some of the story beats are kinda good, but it just doesn't matter when it feels like instead of reading "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone" you're reading "Barry Planter and the Wizard Rock" by the same writer. This is better than most content on this site, even IF they use default fonts and THE WINDOW IS STILL TITLED "A RENPY GAME". But I guess my bar has been set too high, somewhere along the way. I do also want to say this story opens up and in the first few lines of dialogue MC makes an "I have a big dick" joke and if my eyes rolled any harder I'd have bruised my corneas. But hey, gotta appeal to a certain demographic, amirite?

Basically, you "play" as MC, half blood heir to a famous vampire bloodline. The story starts out with MC and his human half sisters trying to cure him of something. What that is, I really can't infer. At first I thought it was of his vampirism, but MC has something else going on that isn't outright said. At the time of writing, I haven't gone back through to see if I can get any details yet.(I went back and No, whatever they're doing they don't talk about at all, maybe it's vampirism maybe it's just bloodlust) Moving on, MC works for the police to investigate vampire-human crime as this world everyone knows about vampires but you only meet three and a half humans. Upon investigating the first crime of the story, MC finds out whatever killed his parents is somehow back and killed again. And that is 100% of that storyline. Next you meet MC's vampire half sisters that he's already in a sexual relationship with. The unfortunate truth is both pairs of sisters have the same dynamic/personality traits. The smart, sensible one and the brash younger one that is always impulsive. After that, outside of some mysterious black smoke and MC's super vamp powers, the rest of the story has nothing to do with the base plot.

I really like vampire stories, let me start with that. But for whatever reason, a lot of the ideas in this just don't click with me. If the story stayed focused on the crime drama and sought relief in the interpersonal relationships MC has, this coulda been amazing. But immediately after the initial murder, you go on a tangent about territory wars between vamps and some dumb hunger games tournament for vampires. All while the human sisters "discover" their attraction to MC. And why MC has these weird ultimate powers just seems so out of place as his pure blood, warrior sisters don't have any hint of them. Ultimately the story lacks focus. But again, dumb porn game, what can ya do?

The English is noticeably flawed, sadly. It's not entirely distracting, but spelling, verbage, and tensing issues pop up all the time which take me out of the reading. The UI/UX is painfully default minus a font for names, but the game still having a default window title is unacceptable. And the UX is poor because the choices don't matter, I chose not to fight Rex and the entire game MC comments about his fight with Rex. Like, yes the variables affected minor things, but Dev didn't fully super write out all the paths. The art is okay. The faces as always just look dead flat or are smiling, nothing in between. Tattoos appear and disappear. And the complete HAM FISTED REFERENCE TO ANOTHER VAMPIRE GAME is just completely jarring and practically offensive. And it goes on FOREVER. In NO WAY would other vampires have a "completely different biology" from some that are a plane ride away, that's a complete farce of an explanation. The dialogue is usually where this dev shines, but this time around its too quippy. I'm interested in how the main story will play out though.

Small review.
Plot? Plot are real nonsense... One click and your sis's (right?) start relationship with you without even slightly explication here. This is so dumb. No even minimal characters backgrounds...
It looks even worse because no ipatch here. Totally confusing and weird (storytelling suffer from this too).
Renders not good, but not bad, same with models. Some models are ugly imho. But where animation? It's 2023 and no animation in such 3d game, really disappointing.
Well... 3/5 from me, but frankly it looks like 2/5.

I like most of the games with a mythical/vampire story line if they are decently written and this one is no exception. Even tho there arent many of the typical vampire-stereotypes involved, like they have a heartbeat and a pulse and pretty much are more like empowered humans it still has the kind of plot you can really enjoy. The renders are great aswell even tho the skincolour of the MC is a little bit weird like almost greyish. Overall the game and the girls look great and the sex scenes are quite nice even tho they are as of yet not animated.
The reason i gave it only 4 stars and not 5 is that i do enjoy music and sound in those games but i know most people dont feel like that. Another reason is that i like if games are a little more complex when it comes to choices. Not too complex of course with hundres of score and skillpoints to track (Like the Bite is almost too complex) but a little more than those two-sided choices.
Overall those points come down to personal preference and i can really recommend this game if you are into VNs with Vampire plot.

Wow Just Wow!!!

This Story is Amazing <3
The "Porn" isn't my Favorite (its not Bad but just not my Preference)
But the Characters Are Great!!! I also Really Like their design, Both Physically and Mentally, I actually LOL'ed a couple of times, and they each have their own Charm and I'm Definitely Looking Forward to more of this Story <3

10/10 would Highly Recommend

It started out great but as time goes on the younger human LI becomes less and less likable to me. And the story didn't get me hooked enough to deal with the purple headed cyst.
Cherry on top, SW decided it was necessary to tell us the sexual past of said LI. What was the point of that? It added nothing and only pissed off people.

Anyway I really wanted to like this VN, but it seems that this is a miss for me.
It is what it is

(v0.6 - On hold)

Sun Breed is one of my personal favourite games on F95, the story, render, characters, everything about this game is almost perfect....

P.S
SuperWriter Please continue with the development of Sun Breed, or at least give us a ending.
