VN - Ren'Py - Tales from the Unending Void [v0.19 Extra] [Perverteer]

Looking for beautiful art, an interesting story and aliens? This is the right place to come. The incest part is covered good enough for me to ignore it, so I will give the whole 5 stars. Absolutely recommended!

This is an excellent game, and has easily become one of my favourite VN's that I've ever played. Perverteer is probably the best at writing hot – but believable – talk during sex. And also one of the best at doing buildup and hinting at future exciting sexual scenarios. No one else does setup and payoff with as much mastery, and is as consistent at never drifting into cockblock/frustration territory while doing it, as the dev/writer for TFTUV.

As for the overall VN, it tells an interesting and compelling story (with obvious influences from Mass Effect, Dune, and other space-based sci-fi, plus a unique mix of fantasy elements that I hope might be a hint at a future sword, sorcery, and sex type VN from this dev). The code/paths are well tested and straightforward to play, and I didn't run into any bugs apart from some annoying variable setting regarding achievements (not a problem unless you played early versions like I did, and tried to use those original saves). The music is top tier, and perfectly conveys intimacy during sex scenes, tension during action scenes, or a sense of the unknown as the reader is introduced to alien worlds and races. Characterization is well done, and each individual has a unique personality, with believable interactions, conflicts, and growth over the course of the story. The pacing is damn near perfect, and even though the dev can write some great prose, conversations never feel long-winded like in too many other VN's I've played. Also, kudos to the dev for giving the player a couple of interesting and non-rival (!) male friends to pal around with on the journey, which is a breath of fresh air to see in an adult VN.

There is really good use of kinks throughout the game as well (scenes with domination and watersports content are two that really stood out for me) to add extra spice to many of the encounters. The one problem I am finding in general with the game is that there are perhaps too many love interests, which can feel at times like it takes away from focusing on the much more compelling core characters. However, that isn't a big enough issue to not give this a five star rating, and recommend it without reservation to others to play.

Quite a few positives with this. I first played this when it was on chapter 7 then pretty much forgot about it to be honest. I decided to revisit it and glad that I did.

The visuals are very good, big leap ahead from Sisterly Lust.

The writing is solid. You can poke holes in some of the plot if you try but for me I didn't see anything glaring. It's pretty original and doesn't rely on too many V/N tropes which sometimes can't really be avoided depending on the story line.

The Dev does a pretty good job of not forcing things on you but allowing for choices.

While there is plenty of lewd stuff the Dev managed to sprinkle in some scenes that weren't just lewd but also sexy. Especially first time with Aven, Lilly and Nadya. The scenes for Aven and Lilly were realistic for a girl's first time sex and the dialog as well. Often when a girl in a V/N is a virgin the scene is created like she's a pro.

One downside is there were actually more scenes with side characters than needed which often come at the expense of scenes with main girls or more time to flesh out characters, MCs included.

Another is while I wouldn't call the MC a dumb character the handling of the girls wasn't smart. Perhaps for the sake of extra drama? In any case if he had handled things better there would have been less conflict between the girls.

Another positive is that for me there is multiple play through possibilities.

Mostly well-written VN with good graphics, music and animations with some notable plot/consistency deficiencies.

I strongly dislike incest and thus played without the patch - there are several notable plot issues in this case. By all indications, these would not be there if one were to apply the patch.
This is especially annoying as the author has created a character setup that can theoretically work well with and without incest - they simply do not take the required care to make it work properly in both cases.

Bought on steam. Overall an average experience.

Good:
-Various kinks
-Large cast with aliens etc.
-Visually satisfying
-Good soundtrack

Bad:
-Setting is one of the worst. Why would any wealthy parent would want to send all of her offspring to military academy, even if s/he hates their kids? Also the dad's favorite Lily gets to be sent also, like what? 5 minutes into the game and inconsistencies, logical fallacies everywhere. Or is it sorta like a conscription but for officers? (haha)
-So the main conflict and plot of the novel is the capture of MC's sister by the genetically engineered super-women stuck in medieval-tribal era during a routine mission. This triggers the journey of the crew. Group of 6 space-naval cadets with space-age weaponry gets owned by a couple of wonder women with swords, if the tone of this novel was humorous then it should have been perfect but it is sadly not. The game tries to be serious and dramatic which is not. Then a cadet charges at the super woman with a sword and gets slashed. Therefore MC has to abort saving his beloved sister and return to ship. Like what?! Is this a Nickelodeon teen show man? MC looks like a teen actor from 2000s tho, can't argue. Is there no radio relay for calling back up, can't an imperial navy afford a strike team to save one of its future officers?
-Intro sequence ends after MC learning the navy doesn't give a crap about the cadets, then MC halfassedly plans desertion with a navy fighter, he then coerces his friends to join, escapes death with a deus ex machina.
-After a disaster of an intro, the story continues with side-quests: following leads to MC's captive sister(some are quite interesting). New girls are introduced to the crew, we fuck and date them a little. Get some lore going with interesting sequences, but it doesn't save the intro that is unsalvagable.

In short: can't play for the story and characters, can play it for kinks and scenes.

Version 0.15 Extra (Some spoilers) (Played until EP 9.5)

Rating: 6.5/10 (3.5*)

In Short: Plenty of good and bad with this VN. It does a lot of things right and has great and sexy moments but the couple of complaints I have are big for me and drag this game out of playable territory. If you like fun harems with a legit story, then you'll probably love this game as most reviewers do. If you want something a bit deeper with the characters then I can't recommend it as I never got that feeling.

Longer thoughts: I was struggling to keep playing this and decided to put it down halfway through EP.9 For me, characters and MC's relationships with them are the driving force for any story. If I don't care about those around MC, I don't care for the story. In my opinion this game goes HARD on the story and characters you like fall into the background. It's done in reverse for me, I would have liked more time with the characters before we delved into this plot. This is a theme throughout unfortunately.

There are quite a few side missions in the early chapters (and up until I stopped) that really could have been cut or written differently. You get the info you want and it normally leads to sex with a tertiary character. This is great if you are a dev with a big enough team behind you, awesome bonus content right? Well It's just that you having those extra scenes takes away from time we could have been spending with the main cast. Forming a connection or "romance" as it is one of the tags.

I actually enjoyed EP6. (I think) where you get taken in the asteroid belt. It gave MC a fresh slate for a while to get to know people and their true feelings which was fun but then at the same time Celine is totally forgotten about and it killed the whole mood for me. (Celine was my early LI, you all lose your memory temporarily and realize you may love more than one LI, if you go harem path. There are some touching scenes here. But when you see Celine again for the first time, she looks at you and that's it. There's no realization like the other LI's get and Celine is your actual GF. No dialogue, no kiss ect...It's like dev forgot to add it).

Music was atmospherically decent, no big powerful vocals but it fit the theme well.

The premise and setting for this game are right up my street, so don't think I'm trying to bash the game for no reason please, I really do want to like it and the story does interest me, I just wish I was embarking on this adventure with people I care about. Story was a little predictable but may have been purposely done so we the player can figure it out no problem there.

I just wish we had more time with the LI's and I think it's so defeating for me because the dev has done the work, they are far from lazy. Its all here just allocated incorrectly in my opinion. These characters are just spunk rags and not people you can easily "fall for". Models are good, animations are good (they get much better as game goes on, bit robotic at first) and the story is good. It's just not for me.

All the best with the project, glad loads of other people can enjoy it.

There are a lot of things I really like about this game, and I very much wished it dealt better with some of the problems I'm about to describe, but unfortunately, they're present. I won't waste much time talking about the things the game does right, most of the reviews here already do that. If you're only going to read this one, just know it's a good game, and I'm deliberately only commenting on things that could be improved.

The game is about a young man who's had his easygoing life completely uprooted when a big prophecy starts to mess with everyone he knows. It's a little overdone, but the sci-fi spin on it freshens things up a bit. From there, the game turns into a bit of a coming of age story as he's forced to step up as leader of his ragtag bunch.

There are some problems with the plot structure, where the very relaxed flow of the story betrays the very real urgency the plot puts on finding the missing sister and vice versa, but for the first half a dozen chapters or so, this isn't that big of a problem. Relationships develop nicely and the mix of social events with plot beats are done pretty well. But things start getting a little hazy further in.

As relationships start all culminating into romances the game runs into the all too common problem of spreading itself too thin. Personal scenes, sexual or otherwise need to be compressed down so as to not have them ruin the pre-estabilished pacing. There's something perhaps intentional about this, as it does put the player in the shoes of the MC, who's also having his fair share of problems juggling all his relationships, which leads us to another problem.

The MC is baaad about keeping things running smoothly. This once again bears some intentionality, I think. The character developments mirror the story in the sense that the MC is learning as he goes, but that doesn't mean it all makes sense. His criteria for who to keep in the dark about his poligamous streak is baffingly random.

I understand the need to ease people he's already in a relationship with slowly, so as to not fuck everything, but when he continues to develop romances with no preclaimer, that's just stupid. The conflicts that arrive from it are, as a result, perceived as shallow.

Next is a problem I wouldn't usually comment on because porn is just porn, who cares, but the sheer ubiquity of sex scenes means it bears mentioning: For a game with such a wide variety of partners and circumstences, the sex is incredibly dull. You're presented with the same sex scene with different backgrounds time and time again. To the devs credit, an attempt to change this does seem to be in the plans, with Ziv topping, pregnant Aven and Celine anal all showing up in the most recent chapters.

My last complaint is that the characters, though they all feel real and grounded in the context of the story, seem to only exist when the MC is around. They all have their own relationships, but almost all of it happens offscreen. Poor Kit seems to live in a pocket dimension for 95% of the game. Characters that should, by all means, constantly be on scenes together without the MC are just implied to have hung out at some point between the last personal scene and the current one, if at all. Raene and Ziv seemingly stop interacting at all, which is strange, Eva and Lilly just talk about hanging out but are seldom seen actually doing it, even Aven and Nadya only have a relationship when the cutscenes are on. Celine and Lilly, alleged best friends only have scenes together when they're fighting about the MC.

Half of this is the way the game is structured. We very rarely see things that are happening far away from the MC, but there doesn't seem to be any particular reason as to why that is. I think the game would be greately improved if we saw any of the characters pass the Bechdel test once or twice.

Magnificent game it has to be said
You go into space with a bunch of women some you are related to and you travel to different places and have sex with the people there, some of which you bring with you.

Its kind of reminiscent of mass effect if instead of talking and shooting you are talking and fucking. REVOLUTIONARY STUFF. Now, the incest is slow burn for majority of game there isnt even sexual innuendos or "omg brother i can see you naked" moments, nada. Only after a certain event that comes quite a long time in does incestual things get going. And it just works its great. Maybe it is a bit disappointing that the time spent on the repression of urges due to the taboo is so short but its fine as is.

You also get to have sex with sexy aliens every once in a while, you even get to keep a little alien sex slave if you so choose (YES ofc) or you can be a nice person and let her be your friend or some gay shit. Anyways slavery is a good thing.

In terms of issues, I guess one could mention that it is incredibly linear harem game. You dont pick between person A or B ever. You pick between sex with B or no sex with B and why would you ever pick no sex so the option isnt really an option.

Also all women are likable from the get go, there is very little character growth other than in their willingness to slobber on your knob. Breaking in a character is fun and in perveteers last game you had the black hair girl for example in that role. In the last game you also had diffrent paths for characters like SUB or love paths that could change the story entirely depending on which you choose. But I guess thats replaced by the SLAVE/LOVE paths but it isnt your sister so it doesnt feel the same.

Story is some weird star wars fan fic you are luke skywalker but instead of virgin you get to fuck Leia. Not really but close enough. Its a good game one of the best for shizzle

A genuinely interesting story, really good adult content and believable characters. Best game on here. The biggest criticism would be the title. This never attracted my attention because I assumed it was ESL. Real fun to play.

This is a high quality game that deserves the praise it receives. Storytelling, render quality, and creativity abound.

For me, there are a couple things that prevent it from getting 5/5 rating:
1) The main character. While Camran (or player's name) is generally a stand-up guy, he's also a spoiled brat whose backstory makes it difficult for me to invest in the character. The player has no agency over Camran's past as an immature, lazy, philanderer. Would much prefer to have closer to a blank slate here so that the player's choices shape MC's character.

Physically, while there are worse MC models out there (including in Perverteer's previous title Sisterly Lust), there is still more to be desired. Particularly, MC's hairstyle is off-putting, and his 'package' is underwhelming (certainly nothing that the LI's would fight over).

2) Forced non-human sex. An option at the start to disable any possible sex scenes with non-humans (either with or without MC's involvement) would be much appreciated. One of the first renders in the game involves the MC reminiscing about having sex with three non-humanoids prior to the events of the game. Not my thing, huge turnoff. A similar button to disable any trans content would also be greatly appreciated.

Other than these points, the game is generally enjoyable, although heavy fetish elements put me off-mood during various points.

Peverteer has improved a lot like 100x more since sisterly lust. this is a masterpiece. Amazing music choose, Excellent story, It was an amzing experience from sttarill end of chapter 1 there was not a single moment where i felt bored or cringe. once i started i never wanted to stop. I hope this Visual novel gets more and more interesting by each update.

I am thoroughly enjoying this game. It has just the right amount of lewd scenes to go along with the pace of the story. And one doesn't overshadow the other. I am on episode 7 of the first season right now, and can't wait to see what's next. Hope this Dev keeps at it! 4 stars all the way!

Very impressed with the game, renders are a top notch, beautiful female characters, story is quite confusing but its understandable since it's just a prologue a very short one but seem interesting, Need more updates so i can give full support from this game...Good luck dev.

[Review concerns 1-12 Steam version]

I wish to fuck I had played the f95 copy before impulse-buying on Steam. I have Sisterly Lust over there sitting on almost 40 hours and five playthroughs so I thought I could trust this dev, and again fifteen bucks isn't enough money to give a crap about. Even so, after enduring this eight hour ordeal it seems like fifteen reasons to never spend another dime on an AVN.

First, the glaring issue is that is set up as a wacky space romp with a huge cast of characters and tons of love interests. It feels like it will be a real "og Star Wars trilogy with tits," or even something like "Conan but in space." This directly evolves into the second massive problem here: it's too fucking long and boring. The pacing is terrible, and from several instances of British English making it through the "editing process" (LMAO) along with clearly at least two and perhaps up to five different people's writing styles I'm pretty sure the entire development process lost the plot somewhere. Literally.

I can't believe I'm saying this is a negative, but yeah it is: there are way too many women to fuck and too many sex scenes. They lose ALL meaning by episode seven-ish, and by episode ten and reading "ribbed tunnel" for the seventieth time I just kept clicking through them all. The entire "Conan in space, but now also just regular Conan" arc is like thirty (no joke) sex scenes with some booooooring shit happening in between. Countless threesomes, foursomes, orgies, saying the phrase "ribbed tunnel," and almost copy-pasted descriptions turned my boredom into actual, physical anger.

And I lost the will to live during episode 12 "a" and "b." Had I been intelligent and played here on f95 I would have shift-deleted the whole folder and forced a few nails into my spine in order to forget. But nah: I bought it with real money, I had to finish the thing. I even reloaded a couple saves to see if any major plot points change, but that would actually require the creativity so utterly lacking in the last 3-4 episodes--the dev/s clearly didn't give a shit anymore and just rushed it all out.

So many things also make zero sense. The game repeatedly mentions there's body modification and yet wanted posters are still a thing? Like dude, just get sculpting. Or, you know, cut that disgusting zoomer pube bush from your head. Makeup maybe? A wig? Anything? It's the same reason I guess all the women have the same pube setup all the way through: making even remote alterations to the body models is effort better spent writing boring dialogue, dull, idiotic characters, and endless orgy scenes with "ribbed tunnels" and where half of all women squirt (which is, of course as we all know, NOT pee).

Of course all that would be fine in a wacky space adventure, but Tales takes itself incredibly seriously 99% of the time. Humor, even lame generic humor, would have made all of my irritations go away. Take away the heavy-handedness and replace it with wit, clever turnarounds, jokes, I mean I'd even take farts. Anything is better than this mess.

I cannot actually believe they're going to make this whole thing three seasons and 36 episodes. Are you fucking serious? You could use this game to euthanize people. If not from boredom then from anger, and if not from that then just from people dying rather than playing this horrid piece of trash any longer.

Perverteer has done it again, this masterpiece is one every person should play on this site.
Breathtaking visuals , amazing story, and great character personalities.
No blue ballin and all fetishes are covered.

A very unique and interesting game thats mixed up with an adventurous story in Space. Story progression is slow and complex but it gets better with the pace and as you go. Trust me I'm not doing justice to the game on how good the story get along with its plot twists.

Amazing Visuals, absolutely loving the Aesthetic Enviornment and Vibe/Music overall.
Amazing Character models.
Amazing Animations.
And if it weren't for those silly and goofy dialogues then I don't think I would have been addicted to the game as I am now.

I would really love to see how story folds and blow my mind with each new update to it's story and how it's gonna end at last.
Thank you creating Tales From The Unending Void Perverteer.

Fantastic character modelling and background music. I hope Perverteer will work with the talented Bethesda modders to bring this saga to Starfield. (if it indeed comes out in 2023 , without a smorgasbord of bugs) You only have thousands of planets and races to choose from lol.

Really like the story thus far, pretty good writing, diverse and beautiful cast of characters for the players viewing pleasure, plus a variety of titillating scenarios combined with a girthy amount content, what's not to like?

[Rev @ Tales from the Unending Void 2 v0.13.1]

Good stuff~

I like the art. Some of the faces get potatoed but it's markedly less bad than many games.

Writing is enjoyable. Scenario's novel enough, voice is easily readable and characters don't immediately piss me off.

Like the kinkset, but wish there was more interplay between girls. Also more pregnancy. You know, the same gripes I have with every game in existance ever. Not a fan of the urination scenes but most are avoidable and none come across as insufferable.

Didn't have any gripes with gameplay. It's a branching VN so hard to fuck up. No obtuse minigames was a bonus.

TLDR: Solid~ watched~

Just finished TFTUV season 1, after 2 long days reading (from a fresh start). This AVN brings a good and intriguing story, interesting characters and unique settings. There's still many loose ends in the story, which I hope will be revealed in season 2.

Graphics and animations: 5/5
Scenes: 4/5
Story 5/5
Kinks: 4/5

Choices in the storyline don't seem to have any lasting impact for most of the game, so I stopped making multiple saves for some of the (seemingly) critical paths.
