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

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.

Played this for a few hours before I realized it's a bait n switch game lol. People are so desperate for a story intense superpowered mc that they'll take *anything*.

Story is irrational, not gonna spoil you but it's very animelike without the payoff of anything respectable.

The main character is basically getting bitched no matter what you do (choices are fake and expect a lot of dead ends), by quite a lot of characters too. Even situations where the mc *should* win, he doesn't. This is a porn game and I'd imagine a lot of people will play it hoping for some sort of wish fulfillment power fantasy, at least if they play their cards right (aka some sort of dominant route). No.

Anyways, maybe there's a point where the dev realizes what could have been and adds something more fulfilling and the premise/setting is pretty interesting so maaaaybe it'll be less frustrating. Doubt it tho.

So, how do i even begin...I ignored this game for a while and i have a few years in the forum, the thing is, i always thought this game was a mess all about gore and terror due to it's dark atmosphere, color me suprised when a begin to play this game and find that is everything a have been looking for (minus the 2dcg), is has "superheroes", a cool MC and lots of action (*wink* *wink*), So to summarize, i was suprised (for good), do i regret not giving a chance earlier? Probably, but been fair i probrably only liked this much because of the massive amount of content that have been building up since it's earlier days of development, in my humble opnion if are reading this and thinking of giving it a chance, do it, it has a good world-build, and the story keeps getting better.

Alright, where do I begin with this one. I really wasn't trying to write a review
but this one bothered me enough and thanks to someone else(more on that at the end of the post) I said fuck it.

The story has an interesting premise that can pull you in fast but sadly the beginning is the peak. It's like a freefall the more you take in. It's a shame really; the art style is different, there's superpowers, mc looks like some kind of hybrid between darkness & prototype, and the music that plays when a fight is about to happen is great but that's where the praises end.

I stop at the part after the kenny fight and the students are now
in 'therapy'. Mc is a joke. How is Kenny who's been a mutant for a few minutes better than you who's been training for weeks. All the animals mc absorbed and it takes him in the heat of the moment to finally use one of them; the crocodile skin. They sure were absent during the fight with Ella. When the shapeshifting/mimic powers was introduced Im thinking alright just from the arms and tenticles alone mc should be trying to make them fast, dense, plentyful, complex(swords,needles,spears,etc) but nope. When mc started absorbing animals thats when I thought Oh things about to really go crazy now with the limitless possibilities of powers and fusions. Just to give some ppl some ideas of what Im talking about and to keep it simple I'll use the animals that Weirdworld gave Mc. Imagine the strength of an Ant(Look up how strong ants are for those who don't know)/Gorilla/Lion/Tiger fusion, the sonar/intelligence of a dolphin(only the half awake thing was taken and poorly at that), the vision/flight/claws of an Eagle, the sense of smell of an Ant/Fly/Polar Bear, the slippery coating/electricity of an Eel, the teeth/skin/underwatereyelids(look it up for those who dont know)/bite force of a Crocodile, the poison/body structure of a mantis/jellyfish(Only poison was taken from the jellyfish not its structure or once again electricity), the dense toughness of a rhino horn(mc uses it but it's done poorly here. The horn is both a spear and a shield), and Weirdworld even puts the bullet shrimp in here(One of the world's deadliest) with its insane speed but did nothing with it. (Side note: I actually didnt know they have them at zoos now. Weirdworld put this one in but not spiders, snakes, turtles,etc . What am saying lol like it would have mattered.) This creature alone should make mc one of the strongest in this whole story.

Nope. These thoughts never enter Mc mind. All his thoughts are basic and generic and it's not even his fault; it's the author. I can't stand semi-kinetic/kinetic storys. This one is semi-kinetic because it gives you choices that will change the story by just a bit. Most choices will lead to countless dead ends. It dont matter if you trained from the beginning. Ella will own you. The fight with Kenny will be a slugfest with him(Kenny) on the winning side and mc not using most of his ablities. M(Im forgetting that fighting class guy name) will show u up and beat u. Alice will almost make you tapout for mercy. Tiffany will give you the slip twice and leave you the mc looking like a fool. In dog form and perhaps in human form mc is shadow's beta. Funny enough I learned some things as a viewer from these dead ends. Mc is the only one who can perfectly shapeshift/mimic and even though he was turned by high ranking top tier aliens; he can not absorb other monsters or the turned mutants because their will is just so strong. Even though these monsters fear the ones that turned him. Ella can only imitate the sonar/slipperyness of a worm/snake and she's been a mutant for years. You can give her a pass for strength because maybe you can say that's years of just having her powers and getting acquainted with them but her speed comes from plot. Other mutants appear to go the route of maximizing the unique ability they gain from the alien that turned them.

Sex scenes are trash and seem to be an afterthought. Art although different could have been better. There needed to be more music. The writing isn't trash but it's not amazing like some of these rates will have you believing. This whole story would have been better as a webtoon but weirdworld knew that wasn't going to pay. The overall game needs a rework but why would weirdworld put in work when ppl are paying and handing out 4-5 star rates left and right just because its different from the usual they played. 'You guys really love my poor-average game'.

I played this game and it's just fantastic everything makes sense and has a deep stories about it like monsters and superpower thing and one thing is good mc is powerful and but not the most powerful ,there are some on same level are powerful than him it is not like other games where mc is choosen one or some kind of shit who has an enormous amount of power,here he is like sufficient powerful guy and some other are more powerful on his same level

I've seen this game so many times but i always had been a bit hesitant to play maybe bc looks to bizarre and creepy by the images. But i give a try and this one is surely in my top 5 of hundreds of games played. The plot and the characters are the best part of it, and make me think that even if this game wasnt a porn one surely i would like the same way. The huge amount of content is a great positive point too. I've played for a good amount of hours in 10 days. I didn't expect the game to be so long, I always thought it was already ending, but when it actually ended I didn't expect it xD. The soundtrack of the game is wounderful, it really matches with the moment of the game and the feelings of the characters.

I was originally hesitant to play this game, but when I started, I quickly got into it. The story and characters got me hooked as I desperately wanted to see how they would navigate through this complex world. I'm also happy with the updated art style and I hope they apply it to previous sex scenes.

Plot Summary: You are a seemingly normal dude, until you have an encounter with supernatural forces beyond your comprehension. Now you have to learn what to do in a world where there are dangerous beings lurking in the shadows ...


Pros:
+ Very interesting world setting, in an alternate timeline world. The human history part isn't as fleshed out, but that might change with coming updates.
+ Early art is not the best, but it enough to convey what the artist intends, especially in the horror side of things. After a certain point however, both landscapes and characters get noticeably improved.
+ The game has a wide playlist of royalty free music, which at worst provides a fitting tone for any scene that plays and at best it conveys feelings that leave you shaken (You will understand what I say once you hear Grotesque Fantasia, it's what inspired me to write a review in a way).
+ There are no railroads in what decisions you take, you are to blame for whatever decision you take in order to help you survive (and what cost you will pay). Right now there is no specific ending in sight, so enjoy not knowing what is around the corner.
+ The characters are all rather well written. You will see some aspects that are familiar in other media for some of them, but everyone is interesting in their own way, with distinct personalites and agendas compared to one another. Their interactions with the MC range from very nice to amazing, from heart wrenching to exciting.

Neutral:
* Most female characters are top heavy. It was a huge plus for me, but some people might want more focus on other places.
* The gameplay loop is essentially set (for now, a new arc has started and god knows what will happen there). Not a bad thing per se, just something that you may notice. For update 0.99, there are enough unused as of yet variables with obvious importance that leave me concerned.

Cons:
- Some characters are underutilized. The plot is great even without them, most of them are secondary at best anyway, and there aren't that many of them, but I did have to ask myself what was their purpose in the plot at some point.
PLOT RELATED STUFF IGNORE IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED

Review might be updated in the future, probably, I ain't an oracle, but this covers the most essential stuff. The game is made by a solo dev so don't expect weekly updates, but they are big enough to keep you entertained and asking for more.

The game has a really good story, and while the art may seem clunky at first it only gets better over time. The lore is rich and plentiful; there is much discussion to be had about it, and you need to exhaust every path the game offers, including the dead ends, for a complete understanding. I cannot understate how interesting the game's story is. It's like the typical saying: came for the boobs, stayed for the plot.

Seriously, play it!

Firstly, I would like to apologize for not reviewing this masterpiece sooner.
If you're wondering if this is a good game...
It's not good, it's the best, the goat. If you are looking for a story with action, interesting lore, good MC, good characters and... spicy content, this game is for you.
If you can get used to the game's art style early in the game, it will grow on you over time.
As the game progresses the art gets better. And if you're wondering if you should play, just do it, you won't regret it.

Crazy story, with great characters. The action, heavy situations, darker/more violent aspects of the story are all handled really well, and yet some of the humor moments are the funniest I've seen. Keep it up!

This game has one of the most interesting stories i've seen in a VN on this site, the developer is pretty responsive towards criticism which is rare with most games. Honest to god one of the few games that goes into supernatural shit and doesn't end up making it fucking awful, the art has been improving pretty consistently and the scenes are usually well paced.

Love this game, some people say the changes in drawing style are weird/they make them cringe or something along those lines - I personally like most of what's in this game animations-/scene-wise , the ones I dislike are purely because, for example, turning into a woman to get fucked is not on my fetish list. (It is great though as you can choose to ignore such situations.) In any case, I digress, I don't really see the problem with the drawing styles since I like them.

Overall, love the fights even if it kind of becomes repetitive as shapeshifters don't have a million ways to fight but as you discover more it becomes less repetitive.

In a few words: love the characters and love the story

this game is really good man, calling it just a porn game is more of an insult to this hidden gem.

if you downloaded this game for the porn, don't worry, there's plenty of it, but the story of this game is just as good, and it's not just limited to porn.

it's a decent piece of cosmic horror, maybe not as good as the greats, but it has its level of that's good

they make the mc have more plot armor then luffy while also somehow making his abilities as sucky as they can be. like motherfucker works at a government facility with the best minds in the world and yet cant think of using different forms or weapons? heck he could've done a fucking hammer when he does that giant transformation instead he does a spear while a hammer could instantly destroy a enemy he chooses something that leaves them somewhat alive. heck he could even transform the front of the spear to transform into a mouth while its shooting to consume an enemy but yet he does the most basic shit.

One of the best VN out there and worth supporting, There are substantial update, clear improvements from each update, and a good indicator of what's to c(u)ome. An engaging story, it grows from each story, for a Hentai VN and unique characters honestly one of the best and its not even finished yet.

This is my favorite porn game/visual novel I have ever read or played. The dialogue is legitimately emotionally gripping. The author is able to write humor, romance, action, and tension which makes for a very well-rounded experience.

If I had made this review a year ago I'd have said the art is the only flaw, but the art drastically improves midway into the game to the point that it becomes a strong point.

great game, interesting characters with believable backstories. Deryl really felt like a bro after i got to end of the content, plotline is interessting with some impactfull decisions, art style even though it shifts near the end is great. the image of ella looking out from behind the tree in the park had was pecfect, it had me hooked, even though the later art style is "better" i hope they keep that kind of weird uncanny look for her in the fist few chapters. all in all i enjoyed it very much 10/10

Damn it. I had realy high hopes for this one...

It starts great, but it just falls flat on it's ass pretty quickly.

Pros.

- Interesting story premise, at the beginning.

- Art style, I really dig it.

- Superpowers? Yes please.

Cons

- Story. Yep, premise was great as a vigilante arc and all that, until it hit "world scale". The thing is, that by the middle of the game, like litteraly, 80% of the population is either a monster or a superhuman. Seriously, gods, apostles, chosen, HERO/SIN. WTF? Someone wrote themselfs into a corner, huh? It's like Naruto/One Piece/Bleach all over again. And I don't even want to start about all those Dead Ends...

- MC, yep ×2. Basically you are an ultimate underdog, you're weaker than everyone, like litteraly everyone is stronger/more powerful than you are, EVERYONE (exept Kenny, btw I dig the reference). I wanted to play a "vigilante sort of" game with lewd content and not a Naruto/Bleach ripoff. God damn embarrassment.

- Girls. God almighty. Why, just why, they have to have those humongous tits? Are they cows? Is someone really into these "things"? Like, for me its a huge turn off, bleh. But, hey, if someone likes that crap, good for you.

- Dialogues. They are just cringe like 90% of the time. Your tipical anime style, over the top, "10 times repeat the same sentence" type.

I don't typically write a review on a WIP, but for this one I made an exception.

If you like LOOOONG (about 20-30 hours) boring, over the top stories, humongous tits, cringe dialogues AND you don't value your time - go for it. You'll have a field day.

Otherwise, stay away, it's not worth it. Two stars are given, because of some rare kinks (WARNING, lewd content is only about 10% from the entire game) and a good initial plot, about first 5-6 hours.

Just personal thoughts, outside of the critique. If this game was made as a comics or an anime, without that microscopic lewd content, it would be a "not bad" tier, unfortunately the autor started with the AVN, than some time later decided he wants a "serious" novel/comics/anime, but lewd scene where already there, patrons were already throwing their money in, so it became what it is now.
Nuff said.

Cheers.
