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

Review for v0.951

This game is so packed with content that it's hard to even really know where to begin with this review. I could write some lengthy paragraphs detailing all the ways this game shines, but truthfully this is a rare case where I feel like spoiling anything that happens in this would be a crime. Suffice to say, I enjoy this game a lot.

Superhuman is a story-based AVN before anything else, and that is what I enjoy most about the game by far. It's captivating. One of its best aspects is how it's not just ham-fistedly black and white. The game has subverted my expectations many times with characters and plot beats that really defied my predictions and had me theory crafting about both the story and characters throughout most of the game. Everything exists in this gray area that really keeps you guessing.

This actually flew under my radar for three years somehow. But honestly, I'm glad it did. This game FEELS like it has three years worth of content. I can't remember the last time I could sit down and binge a lewd game to this degree, and even more so, have that feeling of eagerly awaiting what comes next the entire time. A large cast of intricate and intriguing characters, fun action scenes, a wild ride of a plot, great world building, real choices, the list goes on. The game has so many great aspects to its story, and it really shows by how many people it's managed to get invested into it. Myself included.

Art is subjective, but there's no denying that it's pretty rough for a large percentage of the game. That being said, what the art does have is charm. I think you can pretty easily get used to it and eventually find that it really does enhance the game. Not to mention it also gets a pretty big overhaul/improvement deeper into the game.

This is also not without flaws. Imo the weakest part of the game is the sex scenes by a mile, and it's a bit of a shame for me honestly. They do not feel like they get nearly the same care as the story. With a few exceptions, I found a lot of them to be unsatisfyingly short. Ending almost as quick as they start. A lot of them also just lack on good angles, and could also use more angles in general. They really just don't have enough meat to them. I'd almost use the world underdeveloped.

At the same time, credit where credit is due. I love the variety. Being able to sex some of the monsters, letting us occasionally change into a girl, giving us full use of the tentacles, it's fun. I actually think the game could use a lot more of those scenes. You can never have enough monster girls, the stranger the better.

While I can go much deeper on many things, why waste time say lot word when few word do trick? The game really is great and provides a nice breathe of fresh air from the usual. If you're someone who enjoys their porn games with a good story, this is a very easy recommend.

Great chuuni VN. Honestly not what I've expected when I started reading, but was pleasantly surprised by it.

Pros and cons:
+ Good world building, narrative pacing is superb for a western porn VN, infodumps are not overwhelming and I was interested to learn more. Even read most of the optional stuff, like news on TV and some branching choices.
+ Entertaining characters, most of them are also morally grey and have their own goals.
+ Battle shounen manga stuff done right, powerlevel wanking and everything. I like this shit, you may not.
+ Narrative doesn't push too hard into edginess and serious stuff, you have plenty of relaxed situations where you just have some fun with friends, and I like author's sense of humor.

+- Desing can be a bit amateurish, specifically design of female characters. I got used to it, but still, not a big fan. It's alright I suppose.

- Not a fan of the visuals overall. They don't really substract from the experience and I even grew to like some of the stuff, but still, not my cup of tea.
- Ero scenes do nothing for me, I click faster whenever they come up.

Based on Superhuman version 0.951, on 06/07/2023.


For a game that initially did not impress, I was surprised at how invested I became in the characters and the overall story in general. Excellent writing, well-timed music and sound effects, and varied and expressive hand-drawn renders lead to an outstanding experience leaving you quite literally on the edge of your seat as character development and plot twists keep you guessing as to where it’s all heading.


The art style does take some getting used to. The artist clearly enjoys massive breasts with characters even joking that their mother is quite tiny at only a D cup. It’s off-putting at first, made worse by the clothing choices of some of the characters making it difficult to take them seriously. This issue does fade into the background as the game progresses and you get used to the fact that Liz is always wearing a thin wife-beater shirt with no bra and massive breasts, or that most of the female characters would be debilitated by their size triple-Z chest if this were the real world. The main character is an interesting sort, standing around seven feet tall with hair covering his eyes which apparently are quite scarred, and this is before he finds out that he’s now a shapeshifter, able to produce arms and tentacles at will as well change his own shape to appear as different people. I would have preferred some variety in the outfits with most characters wearing the same one for every scene, but like with the breast sizes, it’s something you eventually get used to, and I do understand that changing outfits with this type of art style requires a great deal of work.


Like the art style, the adult content is a mixed bag of the “your mileage may vary” sort. Quite a few kinks are available ranging from female/male domination up to monsters and tentacles. Being a shapeshifter, the MC can sprout tentacles for his own use or for use on others, and can also turn into a woman either with or without the expected appendages leading to some optional (and sometimes hilarious) futa content. There’s a little something for everyone with the more extreme content locked behind clear warnings. One character has an NTR route that is very clearly labeled, being warned twice by the author that it’s not reversable and will span multiple instances. While NTR is not my thing, I was surprised to find, on a second playthrough, that you have the option of getting brutal, bloody revenge as opposed to the more typical beta male reaction to it you find in other adult visual novels. Of course, the most important question is, “Did the adult content work?” Yes. Yes it did. It’s not as effective as the more common Unity and Blender models with animations, but I found myself genuinely caring about the characters which made the scenes work despite the absence of animations and the limited number of renders.


Audio is another high point of the game with liberal use of sound effects, especially during action scenes, that made it feel alive and exciting. Coupled with excellent renders of unique monsters with outlandish abilities firing off at characters with equally outlandish abilities, culminating in explosive coup de gras’s that had me shouting in triumph at the screen as it happened.


So why am I giving a game I was initially planning to give 3 stars a 5 star rating? The story. The author is an exceptional writer. He does an excellent job of developing all of the characters you interact with while keeping track of what each character knows and what their abilities are, and what others know of their abilities, requiring a skill for outlining that is rare in this genre. Seemingly innocuous occurrences in one chapter can have dire consequences later on. Letting a Zombie live in one chapter can result in a series of murders in the next, or choosing a more corrupt path can drastically change how scenes play out, with your character being far more aggressive and others being more fearful of them. The overall story is linear, but you never feel like your choices have no consequences. The author makes liberal use of “Game Over” events which he refers to as Dead Ends. Some of these are mildly annoying but most are worth choosing as they will reveal plot points that hint at what’s to come.


One particular Game Over occurs rather by surprise as the author recommends that you choose the training option whenever it’s available, but if you raise your power too quickly, there’s a Game Over that occurs when you choose to fight against the one who created you. This particular Dead End leads to a lengthy sequence, probably ten to fifteen minutes in length. To avoid spoilers, I’ll just say that what occurs hints at your creator’s motivation that you won’t learn about until far later in the game, and also drops hints of a rich landscape of world building to come where the relationship between monsters, humans, superhumans and gods will be fully fleshed out. Thankfully, the Game Overs usually occur rather soon after the choice that spawned them allowing for autosaves to be used to return to the choice, with only a couple of exceptions. Fair warning: If you get the option to kill the best friend of one of the main antagonists (which only occurs if your choices lean towards brutal murderer as opposed to stalwart hero), save your game first. She’s not going to be happy.


While discussing this game with a friend, I realize that I know a great deal about the families of almost every character. All of the love interests, the best friend, as well as non-love interest side characters have numerous events which flesh out their back stories, making them easy to relate to. This makes their events more impactful, as well as the tragedies that befalls some of them later on.



While it’s clear where the author is getting a lot of his ideas from (Berserk, My Hero Academia, Pokemon, etc), he is never a slave to those inspirations and clearly cuts his own path that borrows ideas without plagiarizing them. Action sequences are well-written, well-rendered, and easily understood. When Michael runs through a series of tactics in an effort to defeat a worthy foe, we can easily follow along and keep track of the battlefield, understanding why he’s making a choice, how his enemy is trying to counter it, and how Michael has predicted that counter in order to deal even more damage making many battles feel like an epic chess match, with their conclusion being all the more satisfying. Compare this to many blockbuster films where action sequences are so muddied and filled with lens flares that you have no idea who is doing what and when.


The morality of the main groups is of the gray vs gray variety. Will you be the hero who fights against the corrupt powers or will you sink into the amoral swamp and focus on your own power to the detriment of those around you? Maybe ignore all of that mess and instead focus on the choices that will get you the most tail? It’s up to you!


While not without its flaws, Superhuman has a story that rivals that of the best of the top-rated games on F95. It’s also frequently updated, and the updates are lengthy. The current story took me at least 30 – 40 hours to finish, which is kind of insane given the tiny file size that is well under a gigabyte. Of the 80 or so games I have bookmarked waiting for an update, Superhuman is being added to the very short list of games which I’m genuinely excited to see eventually completed. Sure, the story is the length of a couple full novels, but it’s a journey you won’t regret.


A couple of gripes that I hope are addressed in alter versions: Given the number of Dead Ends, it would be nice to see a button returning you to the choice that led to it rather than returning you to the main screen. Another popular title that uses Game Overs for comedic effect does this and it’s a welcome addition, saving steps that take you out of the story, even if it’s only momentary. I also noticed that quite a few adult scenes were not optional, including scenes I would have preferred to opt out of. An early scene with Christie is a notable one. I didn’t particularly like the character and would have preferred an option to turn her down rather than the MC just going along with it without an option to abstain. Still, these are more nitpicks than genuine issues. The game is exceptional despite them and I look forward to the next update with great anticipation.

A high quality story writing, banger BGM, well expanded setting. Not often you see such effort in NSFW game. The choices matter, but slightly punishing not committing to either corruption or purity? Still possible to not get into dead.ends if you prefer to walk middle-path like me.

v0.951

Pros:
-The writing. Easy to digest. Not too much exposition at once. The plot is interesting and so are most of the characters shown.
-Amount of overall content. There is *a lot* of content.
-A lot of sex scenes. Many feature non-vanilla content (Tentacles, Monster,Muscle, NTR (avoidable), Futa, Ear-Sex(?)...etc)

Neutrals:
-The art. It starts out pretty bad, but then gets better and better. At the later half of the game the art is rather good.
-The dev clearly likes boobs and he likes them large. I got nothing against big boobs, but a bit of variety would have been nice. With the exception of one character (and one small side character) all women have either large or comically large boobs.

Cons:
-Sadly no choices shape the plot in any form. You can run into dead ends and have some limited influence on your standing with the various women in the game, but the MC will always undergo all the same story beats.

I've been following this game since the first few releases. Back then it was an oddball because the MC could only have sex only with his female form, the action (as in fighting) was minimal and the most involved scene was a deadend.

What kept me though was the style, atmosphere and the writing.

Everything is so consistent that anything written can stay relevant throughout the game and provide exposition. There is a reason things happen which is a great thing because you know that the dev has a plan and eventually the game will give you all the good things.

The style and atmosphere also helped in that regard, because early on when the game was barebones, the reader couldn't possibly know how kinky this game will turn out to be, or if it's going to worth the time, but by observing the behavior of the characters and the overarching theme of edginess and "shades of grey over black and white", you can get a sense for what's coming.

Fast forward a few months and this has become not just my favorite smut game, but the consistency I've talked about earlier has turned it's universe into something worth talking about, theorizing, trying to decipher what's going on from the crumbs of exposition that the dev masterfully releases over time.
___________________

The characters:

While it's fair to say that the majority of the characters share some edginess and apathy, they still manage to be unique and distinctively human, despite many of them not actually being human.

WW doesn't expose the characters directly to you. He allows you to observe them and get a first impression before meeting them. This is refreshing because he can keep the conversation light and to the point, without having to use the initial dialogue to completely bloat the conversation with introductions and exposition like a lot of games do.

There is also a lot of subversion of tropes.

There is a huge cast and due to the general theme of edginess, a lot of the characters are really extreme, which creates a "love them or hate them" situation. In fact, if you take a look in the thread discussion, you will see that people have vastly different opinions about them. There is something for everyone there and the way you think about the MC can easily influence who is good for you and who is not.

The MC is easygoing, seemingly of average intelligence with strokes of genius. He isn't necessarily a good guy although you can play him as one, and in his past he has been both bullied and the bully (although the later is limited to mostly cheapshotting).

His power allows for great flexibility so the way he progresses can be wild and thought provoking but he also has a lot of limitations which actually make the result far more realistic than what I expected.

The game itself is pretty linear but there is some choice for minor events, like for example you can choose if you want to be a hero or not which will end up affecting the expectations of the public and a few scenes, you can permanently kill some characters.

Additionally a lot of dialogue has multiple choices that while they don't do too much, they allow the players to express themselves more accurately. I'm generally happy with these choices because there usually exists an option that I was thinking about in some shape or form.
_______________

The universe:

I don't want to get too in depth here because I want you to experience this yourself, but what I can say is that there are A LOT of things going on, and they are extremely consistent, which is beyond amazing for a project made by a single person.

Every night you can choose to watch TV, and it's a huge lore dump about the state of society and it's history, all narrated in a propagandistic style that let's the player know right of the bat that this version is what the people think that happened, but the reality is vastly different. Eventually you learn more about history, but this is literally NOTHING compared to the lore about the monsters and the supernatural stuff.

The amount of care that it takes to cultivate such extensive and consistent lore is impressive, it shows, and in my opinion it's what makes it compete for the top spot.

_________

The art:

It has an overly stylistic approach, but the art itself, especially earlier in the game, is inconsistent and at times ugly. However there has been a serious upgrade in visuals in the last few releases, and the makeover of one of the main characters was amazing.

Overall I wouldn't rate the art very high, but it's improving, and if the dev manages to remake the earlier scenes with the new approach, I think it will look spectacular.

I will say however that the visuals work for me and don't really diminish the experience.
_________

The sex:

There are a lot of fetishes here which get amplified by the uniqueness of the characters in the cast. Like the art, it's easy to observe the improvements over time. The earlier scenes exist mostly as qualifications for a "porn game", even if the circumstances that lead to them are consistent and mostly natural, but the longer the game goes, the better they get.

The most important part for me is that the game gives you a reason for the sex scene, which makes it very satisfying. For example I like situations where tables are turned, and __________

Considering that this game isn't half done yet, I expect great many things and I trust that the dev will deliver. I wasn't planning on doing reviews, but I think this game is absolutely worth it and it's underrated even if it's in the top 15.

Keep up the good work WW.

Pros:
1. Great art that's only getting better.
2. Decent story so far that might get better(some things still unclear like what Ella is up to)
3. It can be hilarious (I loved Amber's encounter with her mom)
4. Lengthy story with a decent amount of scenes too.
5. It let's you decide what tags you see and don't see (kinda, only 1 scene I wasn't a fan of so far)
6. Your choices actually do matter(the things you say, not so much)

Cons:
1. The scenes can be lackluster some of them are either too short, boring or a combination of both(not enough cunnilingus)
2. Almost Everyone is grey.

I definitely recommend this game, mostly due to its interesting and cool story, the world setting, and being unique on this site because of the fight scenes with monsters and the like. It can get pretty edgy and degenerate at parts, although I guess to some that's a plus, but it's not anywhere near the worst offender I've seen. The characterization of the cast is better than most games on the website, although I guess that isn't saying much. To be more specific, the main cast at least has some reasoning and motivations behind their actions and a pretty well-mapped-out personality so far that they've been consistent to; they're not extremely complex or anything, but they don't really need to be and are more than good enough so far, I'd say.

The art is meh, but it's getting better at later parts of the game, although the old art kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in the newer scenes with the main characters who've been around since the beginning and still have older, less impressive sprites standing right next to new characters who have better designed and good-looking ones, so maybe it would eventually be a good idea to rework the sprites of at least the central cast.

One thing I have noticed, though, is the ridiculous boob size of pretty much every female character in this game. Like, seriously, there's big, and then there's BIG; it's absurd. Personally, I think it makes the girls in this game look significantly less attractive and like they have some sort of urgent medical problem, especially Alice; there's one scene on a bed where her boobs are drawn so large you can literally fit like 90% of the rest of her body inside them. But I'm pretty sure it's just a fetish of the creators, which I unfortunately don't share.

This is not some super-in-depth review, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on the game. I look forward to playing the finished version and hope the ending/endings are satisfying.

1. I dont like art a lot. Not such a fan of big tits.

2. Usuali i dont like read a lot, if there a lot of text just for quantity.

3. Most of the game i play with walktrhought, but this one i try without it.

4. Sex in this game 3/5 at most for me. But you have a lot of fetish.


And now why i give it 5. If you read above it 2-3/5 at max. But i rly enjoi this game. I spended just a bit, 3-5 hours at most. I get 2 dead ends. And they was rly good. You cant say it end of game before game say you get ending. it writen good and interesting to read. Story is good not overtexted. You can play without walktrhough and dont get lost.
You can play it just for jerk off. Not sure about another tags game have but i am sure there not a lot of game with genderchange. You can play it as regular game with good story and trying to figurate how not to beat it. If i rate it, i can put it in top 5-10 best game i play here. And i played 100-150 game like this. If story is boring i just start skiping and then lost interest in it. For this one i not loose interest and even rate it. Before i rate 1 or 2 game.

This game earns in my opinion, the very highest praise possible you can bestow on an AVN. If you removed all the porn, this game would still be worth a playthrough. The plot is that detailed and the characters are that interesting that you dont need to see them naked to get invested in their story

Of course, if you like giant huge-o humongo mommy beep beep milk truk arrive milkers, this game is gonna be right up your alley. Weird fetish stuff is appropriately labeled. Alice best girl

One of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I don't usually do reviews (I'm lazy as fuck) but the story is SO. Goddamned. GOOD. One pet peeve is that if I could, I would pay this guy a blank check to hire professional character artists who'd keep to his original vision while giving it a more animefied look. Look, I get that the author has their own distinct art style, but I would love for that to be an option. That aside, phenomenal writing which would put many established authors to shame. Holy shit mate, you write good!!!!!

I don't usually bother with reviews since most of the time its really uninformative or really biased views or its useless crap like good renders and music but bad story and pacing yada yada and it does not help people make up their mind to play or not.

The reason why I'm writing this is because its sorta like the meme, came for the tits, stayed for the (insert reason). Except this was much more powerful than that, I started the game after reading the reviews saying how it had excellent story and with no expectations about anything else and that alone has me recommending the game to others. Its like I came for nothing, and stayed for the story.

The game has probably one of the best writing of all the games on this site, I say this as an avid enjoyed of rpg games and VNs who adore story drive content, that if you cut out all the Sex scenes from the game, this game would still be fucking amazing.

Since this site is all about the adult content, most writing are terrible at worst and good at best, all complementing it with good renders or sex scenes so people would be too horny to care of the details when their blood rushes elsewhere. This game has a solid foundation, story and pacing is top notch,and it does not get dull or boring because there are always new twists and events thrown at you. The characters are unique in their own ways and all have distinct personality and for once its not some generic harem game where the MC only has 1 dude pal and that is it, he actually has the boys to hang and bond with. The music is really good and fitting, some really nice choices for the mood and it sets the atmosphere just right. The big downside to this almost perfect game is the art isn't exactly pretty until later on when the style gets more polished. The sex scenes start out with very rough looks and transitions to experimentation with some alternate models and at this point are really well drawn character models that look amazing. This game also has a lota fetishes that are normally not present in other games, so if your into weirder stuff then you wanna check this game out since it might have something you dig.

Overall I really enjoyed this game as the story was fantastic and the sex scenes are like the icing on the cake that make an already delicious treat even more appealing.

Seriously, if you love a good story with good characters( the absolute core foundation of any and all media that is good) , check this game out.

I was considering 4 stars if only for the fact that getting the outcome you want can be kind of esoteric, but honestly, the fact that I've got no interest in going back and restarting until the story's finished shows just how gripping it is. Updates are substantial and rarely feel like they're just adding one type of scene. Artstyle is a little rough at first, but it does have a consistency and really comes into its own later. Lots of weird content for people who'll love that shit, plenty of genuinely funny writing, too. Easily one of if not the best on this site.

I've got to say I'm not a fan of the large boobs, but thanks to the pics and the title screen, I can't say I wasn't warned. However, the story looked compelling enough for me to try it.

And I freaking enjoyed the story, well written, and it drew me in enough to ignore those things about the game that were turn offs.

Better yet, I got a warning for an NTR route that I wanted to avoid. The first bad ending came as a complete surprise to me, thankfully I had a save at the choice point, and I was able to recover.

I am also pleased that I didn't need Ella's warning to "train, train, train" having already seen that option a primary choice, that said I was also able to pursue all the routes I wanted to pursue.

All in all I love the game, I'm seriously hoping for some Mia time and looking forward to what the rest of the story is.

I do wish we could change some of the other character's names or appearances, but realize there is a constraint on artwork for the second part of that request, but I did have a bit of an issue with some of the conversation flow as my MC is named Jake.

Anyway, keep up the good work WeirdWorld!

Fuck the porn, this story is fucking good, unique world and author has left everything vague enough that its a true sandbox style storytelling and its damn cool, best worldbuilding here bar none, sure the artstyle is unique and leaves room for improvement but the plot is there, finally i am here truly for the plot and its good damn it.

This game is sooo awesome. Really great stuff. Fighting, gaining more power, good or bad choices, sex with various fetisch. Your are busy for hours. The only thing, wich cloud be better is the mcs monster power. I often find the other powers much cooler. But i see that this power offers more kinky side action . Keep up the awesome work. Every time i see an update, i will download it. Btw the battle in the hex dimension was epic.

Two-ish years ago when I frst played through this VN I would have probably given it a "4/5, has good potential" based off of the horror/body horror elements, the fetishes it catered to and the really neat story concept.

This isn't quite the same game from when it started out though. I don't think there's a single category of quality that Superhuman hasn't massively improved upon over its lifespan. In my opinion, the story is worth reading on its own merits (something that not a lot of games on F95 can claim), a lot of the characters are compelling, and in particular the art got a significant glow-up. Not that I found the early update art particularly unappealing in the first place, especially for what the game is trying to be at that point.

I do have some issues with some characters' designs having odd proportions and being kinda silly to look at *cough* Michael's head *cough*, but that's not nearly enough to take me out of it.

Don't get me wrong, this game isn't the highest of arts, but god damn if it isn't a fun ride. And that alone puts it head and shoulders above most lewd games to me.

Loved it!
This is one of the best games this site has to offer, got me really hooked in the plot.
Can't wait to find out what happens next!
As for the art, it seems it is being updated gradually to a better look, as some of the later parts of the game have new looks for the characters, but still, the old art looks good too.
Overall a great game, found myself more interested in the plot than the porn most of the time

I dont usually write reviews on these games, but man this is a diamond. From the art style, good sex scenes , crazy amount of choices with diffrent outcomes and the STORY....its just WOW. I'm in my third playthrough(its a pretty long game but im a no lifer so its cool) and im still learning new things and it just keeps getting better.
Overall its a great game i didnt expect to find letalone to play.
5/5 i would definitely recommend
