VN - Ren'Py - Superhuman [v0.999] [WeirdWorld]

I knew this game for a while now, never really gave it a try before last week, took me probably 30 - 40h to finish all current content (not doing netorare)
And I didn't expect this work to make me feel this much emotion
I need the next update
A wonderful game

Fucking GOD TIER.

Everything from the characters to the story to even the art (in the later game, it is a bit dicey at first) has been crafted magnificently. I especially love the non-standard fetishes and various options implemented within.

Seriously, after you play this shit, if you like it, support the developer on patreon. We need more developers like this and not whatever the fuck is going on with Dark Cookie.

Overall this is a really really solid game, surprisingly lengthy too.

First I'll start with the positives. This game has a really intriguing concept that is surprisingly in depth, there's a fun power fantasy here, and the art style is surprisingly nice even if technically it has a lot of problems. The author's earlier work can definitely be a bit eh here and there but later on in the game you see a lot of nice art that while stiff is unique enough to still be a plus. The characters are also nice, even if they're all pretty standard and stereotypical, they do have personalities that feel distinct and fun to engage with even if I think this game has a bit of a quantity over quality problem but seeing that the author isn't the best at actual storytelling it might've been better to go this route anyway.

The negatives however are a bit more varied. First off the game has a horrible pacing problem, the text could be cut in half and you'd lose very ltitle if anything. Idk if I'd say this is a simple fix but it should be doable and would really benefit the pacing which starts out pretty good but quickly becomes a bit of a slog. Second the perspective shifts. There are many many times in the game where there are flashbacks or you see things from other people's POVs and while sometimes its alright, most of the time the info is either unnecessary and uninteresting (I.e. most if not all flashbacks, they're almost all bad) or the perspective shift itself breaks the momentum that a scene had. I get a cliffhanger now and then but there will be 2 or 3 different perspectives happening at the same time in some sequences and just when one POV gets really good, it'll cut to a different one, deflating all the suspense and excitement that you had. Just a very very strange choice and honestly most of the POV shifts aren't even necessary. Beyond the pacing and perspective shifts, there's generally a lack of good storytelling here. It feels very fanfiction-esque where things just kinda happen and there's no real good throughline in the story, its more akin to a monster of the week thing where you have a problem for a bit that gets resolved and then something else pops up thats only minorly related. This seems to get fixed a bid mid way through the game but for reference that's at leat a dozen hours or so.

All in all I do really love Superhuman, I love the passion here, the style, the characters that are surprisingly imperfect which is refreshing and the weird and interesting concept at play. Still I think the author could've improved this work by toning down of their excesses and maybe doing an extra pass or two or having someone else read it. Still I can't wait till it ever goes on sale I'd love to buy it one day and support any future work here.

I was put off by the artstyle in the beginning, but it grows on you.
I came for sexy times, and I stayed due to sick action scenes and surprisingly meaningful moments between characters. I appreciate how it doesn't try to be too complicated. Definitely recommend.

I've started the game for the unique design of characters, the game started great don't get me wrong, but as the story progressed I got more and more hooked, started enjoying more the story line than the sex scenes (no disrespect to them of course), and it ended up hours feeling like minute.

It is one of the best games I've ever played here, the dynamics between the characters are very nice I even feel like part of the group . playing this game feels like reading my own interactive manwha, epic fights, epic story line and very nice music acompanying these amazing visuals. I've laughed and cried playing this and I recommend this game to EVERYONE, specially those who like a bit more action/fantasy. The creator of this game is an amazing artist and should be very proud of his work.

PS: I suck at giving reviews but it was the least I could do for this masterpiece.

It is my second time trying to play this game, the art style filtered me on the first time ngl, it is very different from 90% of the games from this site, but holy shit it grew on me and it got so much better the more I've played that I've ended up taking screenshots of some scenes to use on my desktop.
The dialogue and world building always were fucking phenomenal since the start, and I love the different endings when you do something stupid, even they are well written and illustrated.
But holy fuck, gave me literal goosebumps and I had to pause the game to write this review. what a fucking game so far.
Please drop this on Steam, I NEED to buy this, my new favorite game on here.

Well a good time as any to drop this review.
I'll start off by saying Superhuman was one the first VNs I've ever played, so to prevent myself from judging it with rose tinted glasses i went on another playthrough.

Superhuman at it's core is a power fantasy story. You got your standard weak af mc. He makes questionable decisions and ends up getting ravaged by a monster and gains the ultimate power fantasy super power we've all dreamed of having at some point - shapeshifting. He starts off doing what all of us degenerates would do when blessed with great power - be as irresponsible as humanly possible. And that's how the game pulls you in, it sets you up with delusions of grandeur and then springs the trap ( a literal trap, not the one you're thinking of. Although.. there are a surprising amount of what you're thinking of in the game too ngl), the trap being the PLOT. One moment you're chasing skirts and showering with cheerleaders, and the next you're throwing hands with eldritch gods to a heavy metal soundtrack - the absolute peak of human fantasy.

The things that really drew me in are,

1. The World building : It's absolutely insane the amount of world builing has been done in a frickin avn game of all things. I shit you not, this the type of lore that you'd be pondering about at 3am in the morning and not getting any sleep and then go around arguing with strangers on internet forums and making your warrior ancestors who shed their blood sweat and tears on the battlefield for you proud.

2. The Characters : There are a metric shit ton of them and they're all interesting. There are so many that you're bound to forget the names of most of them, but one look at them and you'll remember them regardless. Most of them are mostly goths in some way or form. Everyone has their own unique personality, their own secrets and quirks that they almost feel alive and you crave to know more about them.

3. The Visuals : I'll admit,at the beginning it's rough. But as the story goes on, the charm in those crudely drawn characters starts getting to you. It oozes the feel of an artist who has a story to tell, but isn't able to show it visually properly because he lacked the skill to do so. He does get surprisingly good in the later chapters though, a perfect mix of that charm and the skills he's improved upon to create his own artstyle. The character designs are gnarly, creepy, badass, sexy, and downright horrific at times( in a good way). The environmental designs to show the monsters habitats and other otherworldly areas are beautiful, almost like something you'd get on an acid trip.

4. Soundtrack : Don't think i need to say much about this because come on dude, you're fighting eldritch entities to heavy metal and punk music. It speaks directly to the evanescence groupie everyone has inside of them.

5. The Choices : The game offers a ton of choices. You got choices that affect the current path, choices that let you mould your protagonist to become an edgelord kill em all Alex mercer fanboi or a good ol' I'm not gonna kill unless it's necessary or threatens my moral compass Mark Grayson type character. Up to you. You got choices to gain specific powers that could help you in specific situations, Your power levels you get from making training choices can either make or break your current path, save or let characters die, and not to mention the core of an avn game, the sex. There's so many kinks being played out, that sometimes you'll be surprised and be like "wait, there are people into stuff like that? Huh". The mc uses his superpowers to it's kinkiest extent during his scenes.


Now with all the good points, i do have to pull it down from its high horse though because like all the greatest things in life it has it's imperfections but these are minor in the grand scheme of things,

1. The inconsistencies in the artstyle is a bit jarring at times. I did say it gets better in long run, but the dev seems insistent on using some old sprites during conversations that look very different to the new and improved ones. Like you'd have the mc looking like Conan the barbarian in his emo phase at times and then during conversation sprites he looks like shaggy from scooby doo in his goth phase. Granted he is a shape shifter, but it's also prevalent in other characters he meets too.

2. The Lore gets confusing at times and you need to look up on the net what the characters are referring to incase you've missed something. It'd be nice if the dev added a feature that'd let you know what they are referring to by clicking on the word that you want to know about.

3. I've seen some typos here and there, they're minor but it might irk some of the grammar police squads.

4. The scenes are a bit too dark at times. By dark i don't mean the tone of the story, but as in visually the scenes are hard to make out. I have to crank up the brightness in my screen to the max to make out some stuff in some scenes.


In conclusion, I'd say Superhuman is one of those rare gems that's like a gift that keeps on giving. The plot hasn't gone stale in the least and it just keeps getting better. Sure it needs a few improvements, but it still holds extremely well as it is. Heck it even motivated me - a serial procrastinator - to start my own power fantasy story script.

Highly recommended. No regrets, just a delightfully exciting story chock full of eldritch coochie - 9/10.

At this point, there’s no doubt about the game’s quality—other reviewers have already expressed it far better than I could. So instead, this review is more of a heartfelt thank you to the developer for creating such an amazing game.

The only negatives I can think of are the lack of animations and the early art style, which starts off a bit rough around the edges but gradually grows on you and improves significantly over time.

As for the positives—pretty much everything else. The plot and world-building are unlike anything else I’ve played on this site, reminding me a lot of Worm (Parahumans)—if not directly inspired by it. It’s the only visual novel where the battle scenes are genuinely exciting to watch, and the banger soundtrack only enhances the experience.

The characters, including the MC, are another standout aspect. Friends and foes alike have distinct personalities and morally gray motivations. The main love interests, in particular, get plenty of focus, allowing our character to truly get to know and bond with them. As a reward, there are plenty of spicy scenes—though a bit more diversity in body types would be a welcome addition.

On top of all that, the game offers a lot of replayability and is frequently updated with fresh content. It’s genuinely one of the best games on this site and easily in my personal top five.

I dont know how this is rated so high.

Any game that requires a walkthrough is bad, unless all those choices actually have interesting outcomes. This is mostly just, do you get content or not.

It doesnt have animations, which is fine for what it is. Makes skipping through all the useless dialogue much faster.

A couple of hot scenes, and theres a tiny bit of futa-male content which I appreciate.

Not a bad game, but not the best game on this site, and not one I'll come back to if theres updates. Not for me.

Story: 10/10
Originality: 10/10
Renders: 7/10
Sound: 9/10
Characters: 10/10

Started playing this game based on its strong reviews, and I wasn't disappointed.
The standout feature is the gripping story and its unique and immersive atmosphere.
If you like gothic, monsters and girls with big badonkers you will love this
Although the art and animation aren’t my favorite, they do complement the theme well.
Overall, this game is a must-play.

TLDR: The 1 star review below me is dumb: They didn't save the game, paid attention to game hints to avoid softlocks, or played through the later acrs with better art and thus missed a loop to allow completing ALL sidequests.

Here is how I portrayed myself as the Chad, and them the Soyjack:



Alright, I wasn't planning on leaving a review yet, but since someone left a half baked 1 star review Apea0 here is mine:


I played the game on two different instances, maybe at 2017/2018, and another one since 2021/2022 until now when I rediscovered it. Hence why I'm qualified enough to shed some light on some of the biassed criticisms here.


First time I was... well, no use glossing over it, taken a bit back due the art style. That coupled with playing early on the morning, and having exhaustion from uni lead me to the objective error of saying "nah, not worth it." and forgetting about it eventually.


Now, let me tell you about what happens when you endure the first 5-10 minutes and ACTUALLY play.

absolute peak game

The game has a few solid points, which I will try to summarize here from experience and some very very on point comments I have read over time on this forum:


-The art grows on you. Really, 90% sure it will. It stops looking bizarre and like a child drawing, you end up liking it and hanging it on the fridge. Also, if you don't, the art gets a SERIOUS upgrade after some arcs, just check the itch.io page <https://weirdworld.itch.io/superhuman> for the gorgeous pics, which leads me to...

-Game arcs and content! Even if you read fast (I do) It still takes A LOT of time to navigate all the game, maybe 10h from start to the end of 0.996 (up until now, more coming on its way )It has a bit of "beginner" arc, where you navigate the serious change of the MC acquiring his powers and causing minor mischief (If you want to, of course), it pivots then to the... surge of "problems", let's call it like that, and a first glance at the serious players and powers at play on this worldbuilding (sadly not the MC... yet), and then proceeds to the big guns, where the MC begins to do a lil' more than trolling on its uni and actually partakes in an uphill war escalation with enough room to allow the player to still shape (heh...) its character. Which reminds me of...

-I LOVE THE SIDE CHARACTERS! I LOVE that ranging from the random ass NPC you fuck on one scene and then banishes from the game forever, to the companions to the almost canon... love interest are unique. They don't hang around idly without visible change and room temperature IQ waiting for you to interact, they have a great and unique characterization, backstory, motives, hopes and dreams, grudges and peak battles where the MC is nowhere to protect his little friends, oh no, they get serious screen time and I love it too. And not just the girls, the characters you can't have romantic relationships (Most of the male cast) also get this good treatment. And they also get...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

-Sex scenes for everyone (in the audience)! Have you ever wanted to goon to morally questionable content? (Probably, this is F95 after all...) well... You can here too!!! There are SO MANY sex scenes, some people here just gloss over them on later acts to get straight to the plot. Beautiful. Also, the most... eh... "bizarre" content is absolutely optional! Only 1 vanilla sex scene is mandatory, then you're free to do as you please Also, do you like to be a completionist? because...

-Walkthrough and game hints! A pair of fans (Will add names later, sorry!) maintain a curated and up to date walkthrough accessible on this very same page. It may not be fool proof as demonstrated by someone, but it's clear and easy enough to follow and avoid sofltlocking yourself, which you can avoid entirely by JUST FUCKING SAVING THE GAME, DAMN IT!
...
Anyways! Don't want to download a .pdf from F95? Okie doki! just pay attention to the several warning 4th wall breaks around the first arcs of the game when you're told "Hey, champ, did you train enough? Make sure to train or you will get softlocked!" I never softlocked myself and I read fast... Also, at the end of one arc you may enter a voluntary loop to finish all side quests! So, unless you're someone, you won't miss any content avoiding softlocks! Oh, am I missing some shitty point? Okey, let's talk about the...

-Malleable, yet unique on its own MC. The MC has a bit of backstory you can't change obviously, but beyond his name, surname, hero persona and allegiances, the player can shape its morality and how characters perceive him, ranging from borderline psychopathic, uncaring and appalling, to empathetic (as much as considering his difficult childhood and trauma he's able to), warm and charming. The MC is not a big talker on its own, but with a lil' of player imput, he can sweet talk, solve crimes, wipe the competition on debates... AND if you give your PC to your brother and he starts playing the opposite than you like an ass (killing innocent people, being a jerk, jumping to action without a plan and acting dumb...) you won't feel the MC split narratively. Characters (usually) remember the MC's actions in context and sometimes point inconsistencies, but you don't feel playing "Edgy Superhuman" vs "Good boy Superhuman" gamecontent wise.

The game accounts for nearly everything you can think of other VN fail at portraying and making the MC feel human: The MC can have a strike of inspiration, yet be otherwise dumb. He can be absolutely a monster yet have a moment of warmth and remorse from his mistakes, and all other personality combinations (In reverse too) you can think of! Mc's base "shrug" personality is always there, and what the players adds into the story is always a pluss, hardly ever an unresolved bug-branching inconsistency like other VNs. I found myself really comfortable and liking both the base MC and the one I shaped myself.

There are way more good points, but sadly, I need to go do my own stuff. I will likely come later and grammar-check and fill in some gaps. Maybe even add some minor criticism of my own (not dropping from 5/5 stars though).


My advice? Play the game until the Frat party, 30-60' depending how fast you read. If you no longer care about the old art style and you feel invested on the story and manage to pull through the "party"... You will know if the game is for you, or not.
Cheers!



TLDR: The 1 star review below me is dumb : They didn't save the game, paid attention to game hints to avoid softlocks, or played through the later acrs with better art and thus missed a loop to allow completing ALL sidequests.

This is such a good visual novel, great art, crazy story, everything is very well made there is only 2(technically 1) things i slightlydon't like but otherwise this visual novel is PERFECT. THe first one is how most of the "side quests" have yet to meet. I mean how you can romance literally romance everyone but it was never acknoledged that you have a harem, the girlsl were never angry and stuff like that. Of course this would take a lot of work and i'm grateful for how good this game is. Another one is that its a porn game so I can't recommend it to friends =(. It's just THAT good.

Unfortunately I think this game is INCREDIBLY overrated. I gave it a solid try after 2-3 times of giving up early due to the terrible art. Some reasons I did not like this game (possible light spoilers ahead):

The art really never gets that much better... Near the current uploads have artwork that at least have like straight lines and smooth textures, but like, it still looks awful (and I'm usually fine with games with drawn 2D). After getting soft-locked (read below) I downloaded the gallery mod and confirmed the art gets halfway decent at BEST.

The character writing and choices are terrible. Like why on earth would you even make a likeable girl (or femboy) that is literally the president of your fanclub and then make an extremely disturbing option to kill her when she finds out about your secret identity. I was so frustrated and heartbroken by this option that was included for basically no reason as by this point so many people know about your secret identity. It was just added to make the character more edgy I guess.

Even with a walkthrough which seems to be practically required for the amount of bad endings this game has, you can STILL soft-lock yourself by not "training" enough at a certain point in the game (many hours in.) Fixing this would have basically required me to go back, start from like day 14 all over again and skip a TON of side content since you have to choose between side content and training often. This was the final straw that made me uninstall the game.

I have plenty of other small nitpicks of this game, like the ultra edgy MC that's too cool for anything, how every LI in the game becomes obsessed with his big dick, even the ones that expressly say they like smaller ones, or how you constantly have to watch poorly drawn fight scenes that you can barely even see what's happening.

All-in-all, this is just one person's opinion, and while I think the game is awful I don't really fault anyone for liking it. To me it was just an extremely overrated, poorly drawn, edgy-fest that people adore for some reason.

Probably one of the greatest adult game made, there is lot of action, comedy, drama, romance, rom-com, tragedy, adventure, sex/porn and whole lot of other things, can't even go through all of that without this becoming a essay

Pros:
Art(i literally saw this game go from meh art to great art)
Story a chef's kiss
Broad fetishes
A true game/VN with lots of choices
And waaaaaay too many things to write

Cons:
Can't think of any

This is one of the best games I've ever seen. The early game arts might be a turn-off for some people but believe me when I say the lore and the character development are superb. There's a lot of mystery about the world of Superhuman and the more you play, the more you will understand.
Recommended for anyone who is into Lovecraftian horror.

Just finished game content till now. Thanks to Dev's unique and reeeaaaly nice plot, I found myself very much into this game. Never gave a review before, hope it'll be useful.

For any newcomer browsing commentary before trying it, I'd like to highlight a few points that pleasure me most during gameplay (with quite strict rating):

1.Characters are nicely formulated (let's say 4.5/5). They're highly distinctive and appealing, each with smooth & reasonable arc. For me, detail/psychology storytelling in each character is T1, probably not the most delicate if one gets more accustomed with those in games like Pale Carnation, but it gets compensated by the significant number of characters.

2. Definitely excellent battle plots (5/5 if not more). I can truly feel Dev's devotion into this game through detailed battle strategies, proper timing of choices and bit by bit yet powerful escalation of battle fieriosity. For those enjoy battle fantasy, this one is surely not to miss.

3. Romance-Ero balance is well-kept throughout gameplay (3.5~4/5). The approx. first half of the game is real good, while the latter half gave me feeling of somewhat passion burning-out, with less romance / development of relationship.

4. Transformation/Monster ero content (4.5/5). As for personal kink, I'm really into decent amount of domination, as well as good settings of fem monsters. Since most Ren'py games use 3D modeling, one generally cannot see creative monster ideas in these games; this one being a brilliant exception. Little do I play RPGM games, I am unsure if I can give an objective 5/5, so I'll leave a 4.5 here.

A truly nice piece of art! Hope for more updates coming!

I just noticed I haven't reviewed this game yet.

I'm biased, I can address that without issue, this VN just scratch a good spot of mine that is still a sucker for the 2000s edge, beyond that I don't have much else to say that other hundred folk haven't already said, but i will still, after a certain point, sex scenes become something utterly secondary on my eyes, enjoying the lore drops, characters and fights far more, i without a dobut would read this even if it didn't have sex scenes-still, most of such nsfw scenes are entertaining, so is a welcoming 'extra', so yeah.

Do you like power fantasies?

Do you like superpowers, superheroes and supervillains?

Do you like a "no fucks given" mentality MC?

Do you like goth baddies?

Following that, do you like big booba?

Do you like a deeply immersive and story-focused AVN?

Following that, do you like hot (and sometimes pretty degenerate) sex scenes with the aforementioned goth baddies?

Then this game is for you. But before you start: Yes, the art might turn you off, which is the last thing you want to hear when you're trying to bust it to goth chicks. But trust me, it gets better. At first the story will carry this shit like Atlas shouldering the weight of the world. But the longer you read, the better the art gets. At the current patch, it's literally on a different scale. This shit is pumped up on steroids and makes what you saw at the start looks like a kindergarten project in comparison.

Anyway, trust me when I say that this AVN is the epitome of your homie saying "no balls" before a dare; it's a story so beyond comprehension. I have no idea how the author behind it wrote this and still made it so engaging and thrilling. It's like a 15-year-old's power fantasy anime arc come to life, but with the writing of someone who actually knows how to make it work without sounding corny. It's so over the top in the best way possible. You'll probably hit a point in the story where you're thinking "No way this can get any more outta pocket" Then, out of nowhere, the plot takes a wild 180, and things go from 0 to 100 - again, for the seventh time in a row. It progessively gets more fucked up the longer you engage with the story.

As for the length, there’s A LOT to read. Easily the longest AVN I've read hands down. I don't have a precise number but it's AT LEAST 20 hours worth of just story. And no doubt more if you take your time. So if you're looking for a story to enjoy at a slower pace, then it's a great pick-up. And same goes if you just wanna skip to the tittyfuck scenes with some of the action packed battles inbetween. There is so much content for everyone here to enjoy, it's a breath of fresh air.

I just really recommend it to people who can be patient and won't be deterred just because of a few meh sketches in the beginning. If you like the core elements of the story this is for real peak AVN. There’s hardly anything like it, IMO.

Superhuman by WeirdWorld stands out as a visual novel with unparalleled storytelling, music, and character development. The narrative hooks you from the beginning and keeps you engaged for hours on end, making it a must-play for any fan of the genre. While the art may start a bit rough, rest assured that it evolves into something truly amazing as the game progresses. Rumor has it that the developer plans to revamp these initial parts in the upcoming March update, promising an even more visually stunning experience.

What sets Superhuman apart are the choices that not only shape the story but also lead to dead ends that are surprisingly rewarding, adding layers of intrigue and depth to the gameplay. The cosmic horror elements woven into the superpower storyline create a captivating universe that keeps players on the edge of their seats. The characters are multi-dimensional and the world-building is top-notch, immersing you in a rich and engrossing atmosphere unlike any other.

In summary, Superhuman is not just a visual novel; it's an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary, delivering a masterpiece of storytelling and atmosphere that will leave you spellbound until the very end. So, if you're considering giving it a try, go for it. And if the early art gives you pause, hold out for the upcoming update – it's bound to be worth the wait.

This game is peakI recommend playing it for yourself what I love about this game is the concept like we would do the same and Ella is bestgirl and Alice too I love the fight scenes and the story is fun just wish there was fan art for this game
