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

The story is more engaging than that of the average game, the options you have actually feel different, leading to different consequences and different character development, and the lewd scenes are well done, with imaginative poses, good angles, good rendering quality and decent animations. I feel like, even though the game is not finished yet, there's a good balance between amount of content and waiting time between update releases, which makes me absolutely trust that the developers have a good plan for finishing the game.

Version Played: 0.10

Characters: 4.5 to 5 stars here. I feel some don't stand out very much - Vess for example feels quite background and overlooked. Most get a good limelight share though, Thyia for example has a lot of focus before completely fading back for a while. I feel some things are also a little underdeveoped, I think a couple more of the interim go around the ship and check on people could have happened in a few places, to help move peoples stories along. All that said, there's plenty of game ahead, so anyone who's been sailed past a little, we've still got time to address them.

There is a few cliches with them, I'm noticing a lot of this games have 2 sisters, a younger more innocent and agfreeable sister, with an older one who is sportier and more badass - with both being younger than the MC. That said, this is another situation in a running theme when I review things, where cliches are only really an issue if that's all they are. But, I really do believe that a cliche well executed, that actually possess substance on it, is not a problem. As it stands, Vess is really the only one completely without Substance. Ziv lacked a little, but like I said before - there's still plenty of the project to go, and the last couple of chapters have added some progress for her.

Renders: Pretty good, not the absolute best, but they are high quality, and some decent animations as well. The liquids here are also better done than many 3d renders too.

Story & Writing: Like I've said in the characters, I feel there could be some expansion in some places in the story. Pacing is good overall, the are a couple of bits where it feels like charcter moments are missed as the story progresses past them. the actual overall story is a series of wacky hijinks, that however random the situations are, do believably bring the characters together. Hatchets are buried over time, and bonds are built up at a reasonable pace for the most part.

The Sex: Pretty damn good. My only real criticism is some of the scenes beteween characters can feel a little samey - but that's actually becaused those scenes are quited varied. That's a bit of an oxymoron - what I'm saying here, is most games break up particular sex acts into discrete scenes. Scene A will be oral, Scene B penetration,

Mechanics and Gameplay: Not overly much to comment on here - this is more a true visual novel, than the sandbox fanfares I usually play. Everything is servicable, cohesive, and it's generally fairly clear which options to take in order to progress a character, or not if that character doesn't appeal. Some characters are less obvious, to the games credit, and it makes sense for them to be that way. I wouldn't call the game shallow, that implies a lack of depth that would be desired. There is an arguable lack of depth gameplay wise, but it's a visual novel - that's entirely by design in the format, and it works. There's other games with more depth to offer those experiences, this is a visual novel. You just go along with the ride - and it's a good ride.

Closing Notes & Thoughts: Had a blast playing through this, definitely going through their first game which I've had downloaded for a while, but unplayed. Mixed feelings on somebits, but the ultimate takeaway is highly positive. An easy recommend, on my watch list, and I know I will be playing this from the start again at least once before the end of the second act. Some of those reservations tilt me towards 4 stars, but the amount of content, how much this entertained me, and everything else positive i've mentioned - gotta be a 5 star rating.

The main story is a bit of an oddball assortment of tropes which should have world building more clearly established and focused less on surprise twists. Besides that, the character dialogue does flow well in key situations, the characters generally do progress with the story, the visuals are excellent, and the game should appeal to most people. It is certainly something worth giving a try.

It's hard to find sci-fi games on this site. It's even harder to find good ones.

This one is borderline perfect. There's one chapter that serves...not much. Other than that this is an amazing game.
Strongly recommended.

Perverteer never disappoints. Really great vn with my favorite genre. Loved the li's in sisterly lust and one's in here are even more gorgeous. Renders though got significantly improved and animations doing justice to it. Story is intriguing and i love one such character where you have sweet with pinch of sour kind of relationship and the experience gets wholesome. Updates are regular too. 5/5

It took me a long while to realize this game came from the same devs as Sisterly Lust, and I can fairly say the improvement (over an already pretty well received game) is very noticeable.

Usually, not much is asked from these games' story, just an excuse to reach the goody (sex) parts is enough, and for everything to at least make some sense. This game goes way beyond that with its odissey around the universe (though not much lore is explored, and let's keep it that way, enough is enough).
Though the sequence of events reminds sometimes to the classic MMO RPG errands, and other times everything seems to happen a bit too conveniently for the crew not to stall.

The models are great; the alien ones, even though very humanoid (maybe overly so? I really liked the R'o), are gorgeous as well. A few more thick milfs would be welcomed, NGL, most of them look rather young. The main female cast is also somewhat restrained in its numbers, which I appreciate (I'm not a fan with tons of girls that are forgotten and left behind after getting laid).
I must say I'm surprised about the complete lack of interest from the other guys (Kit and Thim) for the girls, though. It's not that I want competition in the game, don't get me wrong. But some interest in them from their part I think would make sense.

The amount of content so far is very impressive and, as the story seems to be developing, it'll still take a long while to reach to a closure, which I'm a bit afraid of (it might seem a bit too long?).

Anyways, very recommended, and I look forward to the next updates.

Fantastic renders, entertaining story, hot-looking girls — a 5-star game overall!

Now for the critique (we have to have some, don’t we?):

Holy fucking PLOT ARMOR! There’s always an all-too-convenient way out of any pickle that our group finds itself in. There’s no tension or uncertainly about any of the predicaments, as the solution is handed to them on a golden platter.

And what’s with the MC? The spoiled, shaggy Naval Academy deserter that looks like a soccer Chad, turned space-casanova. Our hero seems to be absolutely irresistible to any female that he meets along the way.

It’s a porn game after all, so can’t complain too much, but the plausibility of the story is rather “meh”. Oh, and the overly descriptive text of the sex scenes reads like a cliché erotic novella (with squirting, lots and lots of squirting), ha!

Undoubtedly one of the best game from this site. It checks all the criteria of being Best.
It has Fantastic Graphics, renders, easily best looking character, absolutely amazing storyline, great pacing and build up, hot sex scenes, well written dialogues as well as characters, lots of content (even with only 2.3 GB SIZE) and Most importantly Updates takes only couple of months and that comes with very good amount of content (Lots of other good games in this site lacks in this department by huge margin).
So props to dev they never disappoint.

One of the first games from this site that I've played. Love the scifi world. The Aliens are made with love and creativity. Beautiful renders.
The story is a bit weak at times, but still good. All-in-all very enjoyable.

You know they say when a game makes you want to skip the lewd stuff it means it has got an amazing plot. I had my expectations after playing the prev game made by the same dev, Sisterly Lust & he outdid himself with the plot of the game & I couldn’t agree more with the one of the comment in this discussion “this game shows Disney how to make a sci-fi incest story”.
Gameplay is just your like your regular choice based VN where your choices leads to the route with a character or not.
If I have to nit pick one thing which is bit bad about this game is render quality. The character sure looks amazing but quality is so 2018ish.

Review as of v0.9

Damn what a fun game. I am one of those that actually likes the story first, then the adult content second. Most that have a great story seem to be a slow burn, which I personally am fine with. This game says "why not both"! Here you have a damn good story with lots of characters, all with depth, and good action throughout.

Outside of a few things here and there, it is damn near a perfect game so far.

Story 5/5 - I absolutely love the story
Characters 5/5
Character Models 5/5
Graphics Overall 4.5/5 - Only a few minor nit picking here
Animation 6/5 (dayum)

Review for up to Episode 9 (v0.9)

An exciting cinematic-like Harem Space Opera Adventure.
Tales From The Unending Void is a great refresher and change of pace from all the commonly used slice-of-life and daily household settings and school-themed set visual novel games. Not being restricted by reality norms and other daily life themes of what is and isn’t possible. It reminds me of video games like Mass Effect trilogy games and Star Wars: The Old Republic + Knights of the Old Repubic games. Where it fills a void of what I’ve always wished to see if those games were adult-only erotic oriented games. Featuring more generous sexy-time with romance-able characters, the Protagonist with an actual harem romance (Every Love Interests romantically sharing Protagonist) with all the ladies along, were players aren’t forced to choose between love interests.

Alongside the overall fantastic and erotic adventures of the Protagonist and his ragtag space crew experience as he’s thrust into the captain’s chair on an intergalactic search & rescue mission for his sister Eva who kidnapped by Space Amazonian Female Warriors. Along the journey we meet new people and are reunited with people from the past, see the protagonist become a competent leader with him and his crew maturing and growing closer together and experiencing new things together and facing many unknown unsuspecting turns their way.

A vast variety of characters in personality, appearance, and backstory. Uncovering the lore of the world of Tales From The Unending Void. Plentiful hours worth of both story content and sexy content.

A complaint… too many pretty & sexy one-off episode characters and background characters I wish had a more relevant identity and prominent role in the story.
Seriously, one thing I’d change in this visual novel is removing the story’s character navigation map that allows players to pick any order of character scenes to interact first and replace it by simply letting all the scenes transition linearly (more chronological order) like a movie. The character navigation map, where choosing one character before the another character can easily cause players to unnecessarily is miss a small dialogue or scene (Example: In Episode 8, MC visiting Kit first before visiting Rahia will cause players to miss the chance for MC tell to Kit that MC got revenge on the female warrior that injured him). Also choosing one character before the another character given scene will looks out of place/order to the given current events (Example: In Episode 8 again, the scene with Aven clearly happens during nighttime while every other character scenes in that given period happens during the daytime).

If i had to summarize this game in 1 word it would be "mediocre".

Story has so much potential and its squandered away. Every single "Plottwist" is so telegraphed that its not unexpected at all. It was still interesting enough to keep me going till the end off version 0.9 but too often felt like a chore.

Especially the Sex Scenes feel very formulaic. They all feel kinda lifeless from the text at least, the renders are looking good. Once you have read Sex, Handjob and Blowjob scenes every following is the same ( with the occasional "weird" Fetish being attached ).

Half of the Charactercast is useless and only gets dragged around for "hidden" Story reasons which are pretty obvious if you pay attention.

Compared to the Previous game by Perverteer: Sisterly Lust (good Start, decent-good Middle part and a forced Ending) This game is overall where SL ends.

Incredibly well done story and art. Engaging characters. Interesting and well-developed setting. Top notch animations.

Just one issue: The dev now owes me new pants, as some of these scenes were so hot that when I stood up after playing it I had to make sure I hadn't actually pissed myself due to the giant wet spot on in the crotch area of my leggings. Still, 10/10 would play again.

V0.9 - Very enjoyale experience overall and highly recommended.

The art is good and stands out above other games. The game really takes advantage of the sci-fi setting to explore uncommon elements.

The scenes are varied and frequent enough to keep you interested.

I especially like that you don't get penalised for going after everyone.

The author's storytelling is wayyy better than in previous titles, and also the characters much more likeable. It has a rather slow build-up, and while it makes good headway in character development, this isn't a title that you fap, but read through and return to a save point (if needed). Goofy af, too.

PROS:
- good plot and a nice forward motion
- cute chicks
- A leader who is charismatic, a bit douchy, but not too much to make him annoying.

CONS:
- Not much to do but left click
- I saw a dick!!! I WANT TO SAW IT OFF (this is the future, they gotta do that all the time, right? Also...let's not talk about that one matriarch hoarding a body, alright.)
- Cannot for the life of me tell how long of a development cycle this is going to have with the existing plot; years, decades...?

So, the story is really good and captivating and the renders are really good. The animations could have been more but still there are animations in the game so that is a plus. The characters are interesting and many and the game is not to short. I really like all moving parts of the story that really let you to get to know the characters.

But damn the choices makes me real pissed of sometime, there are way to few choices and the really don´t explain what you are about to say. The choice says something and what comes out the MC s mouth is something similar but not always what you expect.

Like when you talk with Commander of the warrior ladys, the choice is polite, rude or just "yes please" like damn dog.
They have kidnapped your babysister? Even if there is a prophecy, the MC isn´t aware of or even believes the prophecy or even believes anything? His best friend almost died but okay I´ll be glad to follow you? This part just force you to accept the A(race) even if you would like to really dispise them wich would be a really more understanding behaviour of the MC knowing how much he doesn´t get scared even when facing overwhelming odds against him. This just doesn´t make sense and make it painfully obvious that you should really like archoyn or whatever their name was.

To little choices that make sense, wich lower the grade from a clear 4 to a low 3. Be in not for the choices and manipulation to really be okay with kidnapping of your sister and almost killing of your best friend this is a real good game. (The ending of v0.8 really lower the grade)

Finished the most recent update that came out on 4.28.21.

Obviously enjoying the sci-fi portion of the storyline and even more so when you add all the sexual aspects as.

Can't wait to see how this ends!

Excellent game.

I'm currently in Chapter 7. I played it a long time ago and I didn't like it. Now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of when I started watching Game of Thrones, I tried to watch the first episode about 3 times to really like it and understand a little. One of my shutdown was that Yve was a cheap bitch, but reading some comments it seems that she is not the real mother, which sparked my interest again.

Now I just have to congratulate Dev, a mignificant plot, while I play, it holds several crazy theories in my head. Some looks that have already been knocked down by some comments still make a lot of sense to me.

And they still say that you can't have a good game without having a villain on every corner wanting to have sex with our girls. Here we also see an example of putting sex scenes that doesn’t include Mc without causing discomfort, because not involving any Li and the girls in those scenes we can’t even chase them and we don’t even know anything about them. Another point that this Dev makes perfectly, everything is optional, lesbian scenes, futa, footjob ... the only thing I tell Dev is to keep it up, excellent work.

Well made in several aspects, but I kind of lost interest after an hour or so. The characters just did not resonate with me, and the story was not interesting enough to make up for it. MC feels like a rather annoying and juvenile standard-hero, the story regurgitated a few scifi staples (with the "sci" aspect, or any kind of logic or coherence, painfully absent), the few choices in the game do not seem to make any differences. Graphics is good. If you are a fan of space operas, or still like to watch Star Wars (unironically and not just for nostalgic reasons) then this might be a good game for you.
