VN - Ren'Py - Superhuman [v0.996 Public] [WeirdWorld]

I do not understand how this game is so highly rated. The art is low mid tier edgelord stuff you'd see on deviant art in 2004. The plot is ... fine? But the art is so off putting, I cannot rate higher than 2/5

Well first and foremost the story really got me after getting through the beginning. I’ll be honest at first I thought it was going to be another super hero game with a boring plot. I am glad that it turned out to be one of the most gripping stories and journeys a game has ever taken me on.

I love most of the main characters for different reasons and the creator does a great job flushing out each of the characters. They are not your normal boring tropes where you skip what they say. This game gets in your head and I was constantly wondering what was next, who I could trust, who is evil or good. The build up of events and the climax is amazing.

the h-scenes are well done and not a bunch of women instantly dropping their paints to sleep with you. There is work, choices, and interactions just like real life. If you don’t want to pursue someone you do not have to. I love the amount of choices you get and I even like that there are dead ends as they provide a sense of realism that the decisions we make do matter.

if you love great well thought out stories this is the best I have had the experience of going through and it is not short ether.

TLDR - Great story with lots of kinky action and original worldbuilding. Artstyle probably doesn't fit everyone's sensibilities, but really fits the world.

For me, the main attraction is the story. Both the storyline and the world are original, and the characters are actually interesting. The MC has enough personality to actually feel part of the world while still allowing enough player agency to feel like this is a game and not just a kinetic novel.

Most of the female characters are voluptuous to a sometimes ridiculous degree, which isn't my jam, and the artstyle didn't click with me at the start. I still wanted to play for the story and to my surprise found that I really started to dig the art once I got accustomed to it and saw how well it fit the story being told. The art also evolves as the game progresses, but without losing the spirit.

If you can dig the art, the porn is really good. There's lots of action (both sexual and otherwise) and if you want to get into it, some of it is monstrously weird. Player agency is also respected here, so you don't need to get involved with stuff that creeps you out.

This is an absolutely stunning solo project from a first time creator that might not be for everyone, but is definitely worth trying for everyone even if one feels a bit sceptical about the art or tags. I'm expecting to only like this more once it's finished since the creator has shown great consistency and willingness to learn through the project. Based on 0.995

It's a amazing game with lots of high quality content story wise as a full play through will probably take a couple days and has a unique story. All the characters are amazing and there are a lot of characters and they all have consistent writing meaning once you have gotten to know a character they act like you expect them to later on. The art in the second half of the game is amazing and eventually the earlier art is going to get replaced so even if you aren't a fan of the early art well its going to get replaced. Honestly don't know what else to say as I rarely review games.

I've tried this VN several times, but I just don't like it.

From what I've done, the story is pretty well developed :
- It's not a fuckfest (up to where I stopped)
- There are several choices
- The dev chose not to make renders like most VNs we see nowadays (which is a good thing).

Despite these good points, I find the game weird, I couldn't tell you why, but that's how I feel when I launch the VN. Maybe it's the desired effect, because there's the “horror” tag, I don't know.

I'll give it 3 stars, but I'd advise you to try the vn yourself.

In a way the story reminds me of "Worm" (parahumans). Not just because of the general "darker" superhero theme, but because of how the writing (and in this case artwork as well) evolves over time, how the story makes space to explore more grounded aspects of humans with superpowers, and how quickly I personally got completely invested in the world and it's characters.

In the beginning I was tricked by the screenshots into thinking that this game is some kind of goth-y edgefest, and, even though that assumption is not that far off, make no mistake - "Superhuman" is absolute kino.
I won't go too much into detail to keep this review free of story spoilers, but trust me - this one is well worth your time.

There are only a few things I wish there were more of:

- Ladies with smaller chests (seriously, it's like E-cup is the absolute minimum)
- Wanton sluttery - One girl vs multiple dicks - Cucking losers - "Beastly" aspects.
Also there are a couple of sex scenes which are surprisingly short, and imo deserve a bit of attention.
But otherwise? "Superhuman" is fantastic. Go play it.

Oh and special thanks to the dev for
- Focus on the dirty talk during h scenes (hell yeah brother)
- Extended cum scenes
- Variety (this shines more in the second half of the game)
- Agressively bottom girls (I honestly don't know how to better describe this but you'll get it once you get there)
- Long composite scenes with multiple artworks.
- Soundtrack. It does a great job of setting the mood

Respect for the commitment and the effort. Godspeed dev, I wish you all the best.

Kino.

Knew this game was around, but never felt like giving it a try until recently. I assumed it was gross body horror shit with bad art, but damn I could not have been more wrong. Sure there's some very minor body horror, but that mostly has to do with the protag's transformations, the love interests are rarely affected.

Regardless, there's some peak gooner content, but once you're far enough in the best part of the game becomes more apparent. The characters and story paths have left me thinking about the game and what will happen next the entire week after playing it. Almost makes me wish I had waited even longer, but there's already so much story there I'm happy I experienced it now. I feel like there's a character for everyone in this game. I know some people became obsessed with Nico or Amber or whoever. For me it was Alice and Michael I want to know what happens to them soooo bad I feel addicted.

Anyways TLDR if you haven't played this game yet you need to give it a go. It just keeps getting better and better, you should hop onto the train before it becomes peak fiction.

Pure kino. Got into the game for gooning, stayed for the story, characters, writing and all the incredible lore. Don't get me wrong, it's got great gooner content, but you'll get hooked hard once you get past the first chapter or so.

You may question the art and story quality for the first few chapters, BUT TRUST IN IT! It skyrockets in quality after the first few hours.

I am struggling with rating Superhuman. The writing is very well done and the story is unique. It's extensive and has great worldbuilding and I actively -hate- some characters with a passion at the same time I sympathize with them and that's a really hard thing to do well as an author. I'm not a fan of the art style, even after about 20 hours over the last few days of playing the game. If I could end my review there I'd be giving the game 5-stars.

Obviously, I didn't do that and as excited as I was to play the story to see what happened next, there were also multiple times I grunted in irritation to make a choice -actively presented to me- just to get insta-killed two screens later. The greatness of AVN's over just reading a well done novel isn't just in the visuals we get... It's in the choices we get to make to make the character our own. When I make that choice just to discover it wasn't one at all, but just a guardrail to keep me on track, that sucks as a reader/player. If I'm closing my laptop out of frustration that my character agency has been removed yet again then I have to mark that in the review.

I was originally skeptical to play this since it was a VN which are usually boring, but i finally got to it and it was a great decision. Im gonna be like everyone else here saying its the best VN on this site, but thats not without a reason.

This is an amazing and well written game. So well written that i kept forgetting its an NFSW game. Despite not being yet complete its VERY LONG, i have spent at least 30+ hours to reach the "ending" as of now. Theres always something going on, and even battle scenes are written amazingly. I'd say even if you too are not a fan of visual novels, do give this game a go. (the art also gets better later on)

was looking for something to read and fond gold, man this is amazing, great job, and well done, very well written and everything, there's a lot of content to read and see here, not gonna spoiler, but give a go and see for yourself you won't regret it the tags say all, 5 star easy

This is one of the best games on the site. It has amazing writing that complements an extremely interesting story full of characters that have actual personalities and relationships with other people outside MC. The art can be very hard to adjust to at first, but it doesn't detract from any of the sex scenes imo. I thought the game was going to be some corny 2000's superhero soap drama, but nah, this game is actually great. You can't go wrong spending a couple nights on it.

I would say the game is pretty spread out early on, with even screentime for its characters. In early-mid game, it begins to hyperfixate on 4 characters. Then the mid game focuses on the MC's specific friends' circle and how some people they know are also superhumans or threatening them. Mid-late game focuses on 7 people specifically (all MC's friends, some Romance interests), as well as MC and his past in particular. There's a very good arc that has kind of boomerrang style storytelling, which is HIGH praise from me because it's extremely hard to pull that off without boring your audience (Jumping back and forth between characters going through events simultaneously). If any of the 5 characters on the banner appeal to you, congrats - you won't be let down and I HIGHLY recommend giving the game a shot just from that alone.

If you're like me, you think you have a decent handle on guessing whether a VN on this site is worth your time or not based on various prejudices you have looking over reviews and previews. Oversized tits, fanatical reviews and a distaste for the MC's design were my personal marks for skipping this game until recently. But like all prejudices in the face of reality, they ended up being some bullshit.

This game is absolutely fantastic. It's a game I'd love to explore in a 1000+ word essay about why I like every little detail about it, but I think there's enough of that in the other reviews, so I want to approach writing about this game from a purely entertainment perspective, which is the area this game ranks as my number 1 favorite among all the VN's I've played.

This game is an Anime that plays in your head as you read it

That's gonna be the main idea I want to convey to you. Let's begin with the backbone: the writing.

Vivid and descriptive enough to quite literally play out in your head. An early fight scene, where half the images on screen were merely abstractions of a strike, would clearly guide your mind though each and every move made. Every impact and anticipation is described just enough to make your mind's eye see but not bore you with any kind of faux shakespearean floweriness that's so typical of amateur writing. It's writing with a clear purpose, from well defined perspectives (be that of a character or a narrator), and paced such that you have to have some kind of neurodivergence to consider it boring. Just being honest.

Speaking of, the pacing follows discrete tension/release cycles. A battle is going overwhelmingly in the favor of one side, then abruptly switches. An issue is made apparent to the player and let to fester, then is confronted by the characters. This kind of thing is a tried and true, hallmark pattern when it comes to storytelling and the writer absolutely uses it to its fullest to both excite and subvert expectations in very, very entertaining ways.

Even the transitions are part of this! Referring to literally the way the images change from one to another in the game. A woefully underappreciated and under-utilized aspect of VNs that are a unique part of the medium. Fade ins, fade outs, sound effects, shake effects.. all of these are used, honestly masterfully, to convey exactly what the writer wants to convey and give the game its distinct atmosphere.

A game's atmosphere is what separates a good game from a great game. This is true for every game out there. Makes the experience feel as though it's a living, breathing thing. The main way this characteristic (or lack there of) is achieved is with its soundtrack. You remember dmc 4 because the time has come and so have I. You remember gwyn because that piano was fucking killer. You'll remember superhuman because it's a VN with its own distinct soundtrack. I'm not saying it's anything close to the level as those other games, I'm saying that the OST will imprint this story on you with the weight that it gives to the scenes and events in this game.

Wrapping up I'll write about the most unique thing this game has. It's art. In a vacuum, I'm not getting my rocks off on this art style. In the game, I absolutely am. Besides the fact that, because the characters are from a story you're invested in, the scenes are inherently more attractive than just a random piece done by your favorite H artist. There's something about the art in this game that is just abstract enough to imprint a little more of what's in your own head onto what you see, that adds just a little extra everywhere. I'm afraid I'm not that capable of a writer to describe it as well as that, but I know that if you play this game, you'll get it. Needless to say, you're only getting this experience here on this game and that's one of the things that make this game worth your while.

With all that said, I hope you now realize that almost everything I covered can be applied to a great shonen anime. It’s abundantly clear that the dev is a real fan of anime and not just of any particular show, but of the medium itself, apparent from the way they use all the storytelling devices of writing and of the VN medium itself to maximise the entertainment value.

TL;DR this game is the sasuke/deidara fight from shippuden

5/5: Enjoyable experience from start to end, very little flaws, very many nuts busted

Came here for the Big tiddies, got hooked by the fantastic story.
The world building is something else alright, with tidbits sprinkled all over the place that leave you hungry for more.
The characters? *Chef's Kiss! I couldn't help but get invested in them.
The fight scenes are honest to god a thing of beauty for a VN, they are impactful as fuck and the way they unfold is absolute cinema.
All in all I love this game to bits, enough that even these torturous cliffhangers the creator keep slinging our way aren't enough to chip at the 5 stars rating I'm giving it.
Oh I suppose I should mention the sex scenes... They are great, with girls this hot I can't see how you could possibly fuck them up. They are the cherry on top of this delicious cake.
Seriously, if you haven't tried the game yet just DO IT!!!

Don't really have much to say.

Came for the art, stayed for the plot. Choices add some depth, though outcomes are limited. The art grows on you, OST is solid. A visual novel that’s definitely worth checking out

It took a while for me to get around to this one, and that was due to not being hooked at the start, and being put off by being given a list with lots of options and hit with decision paralysis. But for anyone in the same boat, eventually you can pick all those options so don't fear missing out and the story really gets going and this story is very good, I don't mean good for a sex game, I mean actually good in its own right, evidenced by so many discussions in this thread going into details about the characters and world, I would go as far to say it's the best story of any game on this site I've played.

It's also got some of the more interesting sex scenes made possible by a shapeshifting protagonist including gender bender and tentacle sex outside of Japan.

Nothing else has hooked me in more than this game. The worldbuilding is excellent. The music is one of the best things in this game as it always fits the situation. It has about 10 hours of content and a little bit more if you actually take care to focus on the details. Sometimes there seems to be a little bit of deus ex machina going on but it doesn't take away from the experience. Recommend!

Incredibly unique and beautiful art style, Awesome story that keeps you hooked and best of all Aussie made.

Superhuman is a really well done Visual Novel with great world building and lore that keeps me thinking about what might happen in future releases for days and weeks after I finish an update. Looking forward to more.

The story, characters, power system and world building are beyond excellent. This is not just a 'porn game' it is a master piece. By far this is one of the greatest pieces of media I have consumed in a while.

Genuinely fantastic VN.

Amazing world-building, a shit load of interesting characters that are very easy to get attached to, and a plot that gets its hooks in you and refuses to let go.

I came for the weird porn, and even though the game barely focuses on that, it still fully one me over with its story alone (the weird porn is also really good). You could turn this story into a genuinely top tier seinen and I think you can really see that a lot of its influences lie in things like that (Berserk and especially Tokyo Ghoul).

Cannot fucking wait to see where the story continues to go from here, and would highly recommend this to anyone even remotely interested.
