VN - Ren'Py - Superhuman [v0.9999a Beta] [WeirdWorld]

Review v0.751

Hey this game is fantastic, in fact I would say that it’s super enjoyable.
Superhuman immediately sucks you in, in a world that appears both normal and bizzarre, the art style sets the tone of the story, even when nothing supernatural happens it is still a shady world with mysteries.

The Game lets you take different choices and routes, which actually have impact on the story in subtle or heavy ways.
The plot is action packed, the story jumps to a plot twist to another, it reminds me of those super hero comics or mangas, with mundane and crazy moments in it.

Other great fact, is that the plot never explains to you anything, it slowly feeds you bits of the lore and happenings, it lets you and craft your theories.

Even if the MC is a mutant it doesn’t mean that he will overpower everybody, in fact he gets defeated even by humans.
Instead you see grow him in strength, he builds his fighting style with original Ideas and battles and techniques have a logic behind.
The game even explains the mutant contents scientifically and elaborates deeply others elements

Characters are really well done, even if they won’t feel real and are sometimes tropey (Like in anime) but damn have their personality.
From the male ones (Like Deryl, Michael, your father…) to the female ones (Ella, Liz, Alice…) they all have a role in the story and don’t feel like they just float there in the background, those are active actors.
And when dramas or moral questions kick in, they are done very well

There are various fetishes and are most of them are optional, they are fairly well done, I have no complaints, some are hardcore while others are more basic.

It also succeeded at making a stats system that works, kudos to the dev.
It can feel sometimes edgy, but never in a bad way, the game knows when to take itself seriously or just be totally crazy.
Forgot to mention the music if it’s original, it’s a blast.

Overall great game, it may have some flaws but for now I am blinded by the fun I had, I surely recommend it

I was originally turned off by the art but once I gave the game a try I found that I loved the story. Easily one of my favorite kinetic novels on this site. I highly recommend Superhuman to anyone who enjoys gothic horror and gritty superheroes.

I'm gonna be honest, the first half of this game was painful to get through. The only reason I continued was morbid curiosity as to where this trainwreck was headed next. As I clicked through page after page of edgy, poorly written dialogue, I wondered if the reviewers and I had even downloaded the same game. As I witnessed dozens of poorly drawn pictures shaded in black with a questionable grasp on anatomy and a worse grasp on shading, I'd wondered when the game was going to get good. I kept coming back, though, and the reason is simple.
It's clear that the game was made with great care. The options go far beyond the average visual novel. Most actions actually affect the story. There's tons of scenes with characters you could totally skip if you're a fan of gloryholes and shops and absolutely nothing else. While the "dead ends" come swiftly, many choices will result in a different playthrough entirely.
After getting through the torturous first few weeks, the plot finally kicks off. Colliding interests, characters, side plots, and an evolving main story, the writing is far better than I'd expected when I'd downloaded a horror VN with subpar visuals. While the characters aren't interesting enough to pursue a relationship with by any means, they're far from two-dimensional. Each one has their own life outside of the main character, their own goals, their own ideals. Sometimes they clash in B-plots you never saw coming.
A lot of the jokes don't land. In fact, the majority make me cringe. Almost as much as the repeated anime references that occasionally remind you the author's seen a tough too much anime, and even worse, the occasional "bloody" thrown in sentences reminding you the author's British.
Regardless, the story's unexpectedly fun and rarely feels overbearingly edgy. From the humor that punctuates a lot of the story, to the casual relationships, it never feels like the game's trying to be what it isn't or take itself more seriously than it deserves. When it does put down the jester hat and get serious though, it's a fun, sometimes campy, power fantasy. It's a story about a guy who gains tremendous power and uses it to overpower his enemies and get what he wants out of social situations. The repercussions of this are explored more realistically than the shows the author likely took the source material from, and the power scaling can reach ridiculous, world-ending heights, yet it never feels cheap.
This isn't Dragon Ball Z, where the MC sneezes and gains a new hair color and 15 superpowers with little repercussion. This isn't MHA, where the superpower's downsides get swept under the rug for continued spectacle and power creep. This is Superhuman, where everything has consequence, and every use comes with some drawbacks.
I'd say easily the worst part of this game is the sex scenes, the thing that brings the game down a star further than the art. After playing out a power fantasy against colossal foes with fun, campy dialogue, you will eventually be met with some poorly illustrated, lacklusterly written lewd or sex scenes, wherein you witness an impossibly wide ass pound against what's described as the world's most incredible cock to ever grace the earth. Though many are skippable, not all are avoidable, and in a game all about sex, it's unfortunate that rather than being a reward for your decision making, those scenes end up being a begrudging eventuality you hope ends as quickly as it came.
All in all, this game is alright. Great writing that, if made into a web comic or a webtoon, could make for an incredible experience, but alas falls just short. If you can wade through the below average sex scenes and the difficult on the eyes art, as well as the boring, edgy, unlikable initial month of the game, then what's waiting for you is the unapologetic passion of someone who clearly has an incredible vision and wants to share it with the world.

Took me a while to really get into it. Thought this game was gonna be meh...Glad I was wrong It's actually a little interesting once you sit through it. The Tiddies are just frosting on top. I'll be looking forward to it completion for sure.

Has a well written plot. The art is a little weird at the beginning but it grows on you. Honestly, I'm not even in this for the porn anymore, the writing is just that good. Could do with some smaller boobs though lol.

I absolute love this game! The story, the art and the soundtrack make this game one of the best on this site. I look forward to the next update. The characters are interesting and I love Ella in particular, I am looking forward to what the relationship with her can become.

This review is made on the version v0.751

This is probably one of the best games on this site. It has great art, a lot of content and a great story. At the same time the updates are also relatively fast as compared to most of the other games on this site. An easy 10/10.

I would like to rate this super game (Version 0.751). Trust me if you are reading this, and if you are a fan of sci fi movies and superhero movies/games, this one will be worth every penny. There are so many twists and turns I sometimes though I am going through a rollercoaster of emotions. Also, in nearly two and half years of playing adult games, this is the first time I laughed playing such a game. The way Jared (shapeshifted by the mc) striped the teacher and shat on the table, even the scene makes me smile. My stomach was hurting so much watching those renders. Thank you dev, you really rock. Only thing that needs improvement is from 2dcg to 3dcg. Except for this everything is perfect. Keep up the good work. There is suspense, drama and obviously, sex in the game as well. Again thank you dev for this game. I would like to play more of these games.

It was a pleasant surprise, the sex scenes are not my favorites, and it does have a few genres that I do not like but I could avoid them so it won't affect my rating of the game.
To be honest I am hooked with the story, the sex is just a bonus.

Version 0.751

This game really is quite entertaining to play. The story and the scenes both are well done. The story especially, both dark at times and funny at times, well mainly depending on the choices you make. I also like how our choices really affect the gameplay, not just like a place holder to simply be present and represent nothing. The latest update really ended in a good cliff hanger. Focus is on both sex scenes and story and that is pretty good thinking and a good game design in my opinion. Really loved playing this and really happy it has content for different genres. Waiting for future updates and good luck with the project.

One of the most entertaining VNs I've ever played and a must play for those that enjoy fantasy and a bit of a thriller atmosphere.
If you take any one part of it out of context it could, at times, be shit but put it together and it just works. The best example of this is the art, it's always unique, it's never great, sometimes it's shit (and maybe it can be redone at some point for the times where it gets really shit, like where the girl's hair goes down her forehead to almost between her eyes) but somehow it just fits the game better than 3d would. Story also gets not particularly original at times(later in the game) and I get the feeling that some of the yet to be revealed stuff could have a shit explanation but it just keeps you so engaged up until the current end.
It may not be so good for those that can't tolerate flaws but if you can, it somehow still ends up feeling like a 10/10.
Side note: I think the huge tits are probably the most polarizing part of the game. I like really big tits at times, usually I don't particularly like or dislike huge tits, but here they work, in fact I kind of like, it does not make a huge amount of sense but it kind of fits with the story, perhaps there could be more normal sized ones and fewer huge ones but otherwise I would not really make the biggest ones smaller.

Reviewed v0.751.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I'm not used to strong writing in games in general, much less porn games. So it's easy to pick games to play based on the art style, which pushes gems like these down the list of priorities. Big mistake from my part, do not make the same one.

Visuals: Game features a very peculiar art style. Thick, heavy lines, dark atmosphere and huge titty goth gf aesthetic abounds. It takes some getting used to because it's not Daz, HS or any other easily recognizable render farm. However, it really grew on me. Individual tastes may wary, but I strongly recommend anyone try this game even if they are on the fence due to the visuals. Main reason being...

Writing: The writing carries the game. We have a very interesting overarching plot line and a very satisfying hero's journey through it. The developer has experience in setting up plot points and moving the story along. Nothing seems to sudden or too meandering, things happens at a timely manner and always leave you wishing for more. Could gush on for an hour, but you get the drift. It's great.

Gameplay: Standard VN choice system with quite a few bad ends hidden behind some bad choices. As in you get options what to do during a boss fight, but there is generally only one path forward. Not like that's a problem due to quicksaves, but is something to keep in mind. As of right now game offers the chance to gain 3 stats, but only 1 (power) seems to do anything. Skill and Corruption will apparently start to matter later and at the very end of the game. There is no grind in the game, but some points in all stats can be missed if you deliberately ignore certain events with the other characters. Or resolve your fights in certain ways. As of right now it has not affected anything, no need to get all the points scattered about.

Characters: What a lovely bunch of misfits the dev has assembled for us to enjoy. Even the villains get their time in the limelight and you get plenty of chances to determine how the MC should treat them. The MC himself has a nice backbone and is no idiot, which is refreshing. A lot of LI's scattered about the game and you'll get time with all of them. You can decide to pursue only one girl or try to build a harem. The MC himself can be a total dork and plainly admit it to the girls, which was a nice touch. Can't wait to see more of the cast in future updates!

Updates: Speaking of updates, they seem to be pretty frequent. Game has not been out for even a full year as of the time of writing, but already has several hours of content. I binged it over the course of a few days to savor it and was very unhappy when the end screen popped up. I can only hope the game gets finished.

Total: 5/5

What an incredible gem of a game. Every night when this was the last thing I did before bed, I theorycrafted in my head about what was going on and how the plot could move in the future. NOT your one stop fap game, even if the sex is great too. As someone else said below, this game is proof that you don't need a thousand 4k super renders per update to be good, just good writing. Although jury is out on which one is harder. Must try and support if you can, the developer deserves it.

Excellent game. I was a bit "uuuh" about the graphics, but they really grow on you and I got fond of them. Storyline is solid. Great visual novel!

Particularly fond of the gender bending aspects, but as of 0.751 unfortunately the MC can't still transform others. Would love to get into some gender bending hijinks!

I really like the story and the body transformation, MC being a monster, increasing power levels, becoming more powerful aspects of the game. Not to mention the MC gets a nice big dong when he turns monster. It makes things that bit more 'believable' IMO that the MC is special and at times OP, explains much more realistically why all these hot girls are now interested in him. Those are the things that really keep me wanting to drive forward and see what will happen next.

My constructive criticisms at this stage (playing v0.751) would be;

1. its seems the implementation of the power and corruption system is fairly superficial. You are told its increased but it doesnt really affect anything because if you dont for example increase your power at every opportunity you'll hit a story dead end anyway. Its not like there are side story where you can use your newly gained power level to access something you couldn't before for example.
2. Also there is somewhat an illusion of choice, in terms of the significant story events there is only one path forward and the other 'choices' lead to dead ends. There are certain non essential events that are locked behind which choices you make, which gives some replayability, but its very much a linear graphic novel.
3. sometimes the text can be very wordy with a lot of back filler, at times i'd prefer the dialogue to be a little more concise
4. It could perhaps do with a hint option for 1st time playthroughs as the afternoon events can be a little confusing what you should be doing and its possible to miss some content.

Overall for me its been a rough diamond that i've stumbled on and I hope the dev completes this project.

Don't let the disproportionate, jarring tits and dick push you away from this game. I went in due to the goth looking characters and I'm not disappointed because the story is gripping. The H-scenes seem inconsequential in comparison to the joy that can be obtained from the story. The game in no way is inferior to decent japanese visual novel titles of the the score 8 range on vndb and keeps you interested in the plot throughout. The story has an Alex Mercer (from prototype) sort of character and there is an overarching mystery plot to it, a pretty creepy and mysterious character, an assortment of mysterious villains and organisations, and engaging fights; All of this sewed together.

No annoying and complex options, no unintuitive story branching options, and if you're not into the whole NTR and self gender bend into a girl thing then you can easily progress all routes and see all the content you want. As long as I enjoyed what I picked up the game for, or enjoyed the game as a whole even if contrary to my initial expectations of its nature, it's an instant 5 stars from me. This visual novel is nice. [ reviewed v0.751]

Superhuman is an underrated adult goth/monster gem.

Don't let the artwork scare you off. The creepy-hot visual style sets the tone for a fun ride down various rabbit-holes, sexy intrigues and strange turns of fate.

There are quite a few optional fetishes for a plethora of tastes, plenty of big-tittied hotties to choose from, fun choices, and a story that keeps you hungry for the next update while offering substantial lore along the way.

(rated v0.751)

One of the few VNs that I'm invested in the story. Eldritch horror, superhuman combat with some mystery and suspense.

The art is pretty unique, and if you get invested it works more than well enough for the medium.

Bad Ends are often easy enough to spot or difficult to hit. I'm unsure of how diverse the story paths are, but on a more 'good' path, the dialogue is consistent, though with some more rampant murder than expected when in combat with an enemy mafia.

Is good.

Overall an excellent VN. Love the story, love the artwork and love the flow (characters aren't long winded gasbags lol) Definitely recommend it to anyone that's into male dominant protagonists set in a world with supernatural beings.

v0.71

A visual novel about an 18 year old who looks like Nathan Explosion and is given shapeshifting abilities. The writing is all right. The art style is very unique, not exactly my thing, and all the women are freakishly big-titted. I will say that the game's creator has a very unique and distinct style and it's refreshing to see someone making something kind of edgy and weird like this. Altogether though it wasn't really to my tastes but I'd say if you're intrigued by the art do check it out.

ha, i downloaded this game asap because "haha big tiddy goth gf, this looks so silly, might be fun, i gotta see this" but soon you get pulled by the plot, characters and good writing overall. its a great example that you dont need 900 unique renders per update + 10 animations, each consisting of 80 frames to be able to make a good/fun game and enjoyable experience. all you need is a good writer.
