Ren'Py - Completed - Tentacular [Release 4] [Jackerman]

The game itself is an enjoyable experience, and after playing through all of the release versions, you can really see the improvements that jackerman is able to do through the game's development. The renders for the game are all very well done, and you can tell that there is care and quality in the models and animations. Additionally, there was a large amount of content present in the game, and the grind was far less in this game to get those scenes.
There were a few bugs here and there that I found with the most annoying one being the arrows to change rooms constantly blinking.
The MC was pretty weird, but he was acceptable. There is NTR in the game, so if it's something you're not a fan of, this game can be a turn off. Though, the NTR present in this game isn't incredibly prevalent in the game.
Overall, the game is really good, and I give props to the dev for going through with what he personally wants in his games.

Great scenes okay "game" nearly all of the "gameplay" is viewing a scene and going somewhere else to sell something to go buy something else to continue the story its fine its not as bad as other renpy games that have you farm somewhere for hours on end but it doesn't make it any more fun however i must say the amount of scenes and the build up to them are great this is an x-rated game i just played a 10 hour long rgmaker game that had the same amount of scenes in this game and you can breeze through all the content in this game in 20 minutes and this game has probably more scenes and animated shit.
I also wasn't happy with the inclusion of NTR it wasn't nearly as brutal as in other games but still this could not have had NTR and it wouldn't have been much different.

TLDR: It has a couple gripes about what i don't like in X-rated games (no real gameplay/unnecessary inclusion of ntr) but most of what i like in a X-rated game good scenes and good build-up with little grind so you don't lose your erection.

This is a great game. There aren't too many good bestiality games that exist, at least that I know of. Regardless this is definitely one of if not the best one. Short, simple, not to mention amazing character design. Overall one of the best game I've played so far.

One of the Best games, animations are great and beautiful character models. Updates are quite big and give you some great content ;D. If you like girls with big tits and pervy aliens, then you will not be disappointed with this one.

Well done Jackerman.

Yo thought i wrote a feedback already. Seems not. And despite the horrible annoying bugs which i currently have this will NOT influence the rating!

Pros:
- great quality/renders
- hot girls with maybe a bit too much but GREAT tasteful curves
- interesting not too complicated game
- interesting unqiue main character
- quite easy to navigate
- no annoying or hard gameplay
- really nice music
- new voice over is nice and sexy
- nice animations (more than solid/average in my opinion)
- many differnent monsters for many different tastes
- no futa
- no devour (i really hate devour stuff)
- the females are not dumb
- often nice shadow play

Cons:
- sometimes the navigation is a bit confusing - especially if you miss the arrows xD
- that number/code thing is the only thing which is hard/challenging (for me too much but i understand it to spice things up)
- dog can impregnate the girl? isn't the dog robotic? and also a normal dog should not be able to do this even i like the impregnation idea in general for the mc for example
- not a fan of ordinary animals much especially like dogs and horses
- alien horse looks like an ordinary horse which is strange imo
- i love the play with shadows but the fuck scenes are sometimes a bit too dark
- there could be more camera angles during sex scenes with monsters and enigma
- i also would prefer some more positions during scenes (with black screens between ofc)
- you don't see the creatues cum no last intersting animation before they cum
- i still miss sex with titsucking but maybe i am in a minority here

a very promising game. and even i am not THE biggest bestiality fan i kinda enjoy some stuff and this game is - in my opinion - THE BEST game if you search for bestiality/alien sex. its not dumb, not hard to play, the girls are really nice, the scenes are tasteful and not too extreme, the overall idea is hot. the renders and quality are really good too.

This game is criminally overlooked. The voice acting for me is one of the many features that sets it apart from other games in this genre. Incredible story line with multiple twists and turns. The character development is also great, as you progress through the story we learn more and more about the two main characters.

I honestly see this game going down as a future classic. A must play! 9/10

The latex suits don't make an appearance in sex scenes, despite being front and center of promotional material.
All sex scenes are like between 3 and 5 images of "build up" and then one animation, really underwhelming.

Review on Release 3

Was pleasantly surprised by this one. But there are definitely a few things that can still be improved.

Cons: Mainly the MC

• Similar to other reviewers, I feel like having an "MC" that is both seemingly dumb and inexperienced and a disgusting rapist is pretty unpleasant. Since this game doesn't pretend to be realistic and certainly does not want to portray a romantic relationship between the two main characters, I can somewhat get over it but it's still not exactly fun to watch.
• I feel like there's just something off about the MC's look. In my opinion, as it relates to bestiality, you either go full-on realistic animals, like the dogs or "horses" that wee see in this game (the horses are said to actually be aliens, but they just look like horses) or you just go so far into monster territory that it's hard to compare with any actual animal, like we also see in this game. The MC in this case pretty much looks like an ordinary octopus, only he's green and has a very creepy human face. It's just off and I don't like it. Sort of the uncanny valley of bestiality.

Mehs: Weird gameplay

• The gameplay is... somewhat okay. I feel like it isn't too grindy but it's not a completely straightforward VN either, so in some ways, the dev managed to thread a needle here. But there are still a few issues here, like the layout of the ship is pretty confusing so that it takes a while until you know where to go. At some point, you also have bought pretty much everything there is to buy, and you're just always skipping morning, afternoon and evening to get to the night and midnight scenes. Also, the third act is way more convoluted than it needs to be to get the keys; if I remember correctly, you need to answer some questions correctly so that you get a credit so that you can use the credit to buy something on the pc (don't remember what it was) so that you can then use that something to get a key so that you can then use that key to unlock one of the doors.... eh, what? There are at least a couple steps that could be omitted there.
  But all in all, like I said, the mix between sandbox and VN isn't too badly done and you pretty much always know what to do next since there's basically just one story thread.

Pros: Pretty much everything else

• I really like the absurd body proportions of the women in the game. In my opinion, there's not enough games out there that have this and from the point of view of developers I get it, pretty much any dev that just has one female character with over-sized boobs gets crucified by the reviews (just look at some of the reviews of this game). But I've always enjoyed over-sized boobs and cocks (I'm sort of iffy on enormous butts, but I'll take the package deal if I must ) especially because it's not realistic. I sort of fail to see the point of doing 3d animations if you're gonna stick with completely realistic portrayals, then you can just watch live-action porn. So yeah, bring it on.
• The renders are also just fantastic here which makes it even better. While there are definitely a fair few games out there with bimbos sporting over-sized boobs, they just don't compare to the flawless renders of games like this one; while the proportions are ridiculous compared to women in RL, the way that the dev has designed the characters, they still seem somewhat believable because of things like boobs that sag somewhat instead of just being completely spherical balloons. So you just generally have very high render and artwork quality which is just hugely important if you have these sex-first, story-second style games. The animations might only be okay but they're definitely not bad either.
• The main "LI" (calling her a love interest is a bit rich, but I don't know what else to call her) actually has a voice-over that is done really well and you see that in hardly any VN's. The dev apparently wants to get voice actresses for the other women so that's pretty promising as well. Definitely adds some immersion but at a pretty high cost for the dev so it's really commendable they went the extra mile here.
• You have a, in my opinion, really good mix of story and sexual content. Basically sexual content is never far away and it's the main point of the game. Especially in the second and third acts of the story, there are also some very weird but weirdly hot things to explore. That's all personal preference of course but I'm always up for some weird shit. For some reason, I love all-the-way-through stuff even though it's really rare (probably because, for some reason I already said I don't quite understand, people want realism in these games) and this game actually has some of that, not to mention all of the huge insertions with a whole range of different types of bestiality. Some of that I find really hot, some of that I dislike, for example, I'm never a fan of the growling, dribbling, somewhat anthropomorphic, disgusting monsters but it does fit into the rest of this game so I don't mind that it's there. Basically, it's a cornucopia of bestiality that will certainly have some stuff for anyone who's even somewhat into these sorts of things.

Conclusion

I think the main reasons I give this game 4 stars is because of the body proportions of the women, the great render and art quality plus the fact that the dev actually hired a voice actress for the main "love interest" of the game. I certainly am a fan of huge insertions and some more weird shit like all-the-way-through stuff even though I'm only so-so on some of the bestiality.
So this game is certainly niche stuff, it's definitely not gonna be for everybody and even I, with my somewhat eclectic tastes, have found some content in it that I don't particularly like or actually find off-putting. But that seems a poor reason to give this game a poor review, that's just personal preference.

On most of the things to objectively review, I didn't find too many flaws with the game and there are certainly things that even make it stand out but it doesn't get as much recognition for it because of its weird premise and niche sexual content.

So props to the dev, and for sticking to their guns and not caving to popular demand, there are definitely weirdos like myself out there who enjoy this sort of stuff

Its great now, and it will only get better for sure. Models are amazing and humour is great. Animations are awesome, most games here only have pics.

Im sure in the future when developer implements more ways and mechanics to get ''points'' this game will absolutely rock!

Even tho it looks kinda goofy the octopus it has one of the best animations in a while that I've seen has some structure for being spectacular.

Good
- Smooth animation
-Good lighting
-Easy tasks
-Quality models/textures

Bad
-Confusing navigation
-Voice acting (i think shouldn't be a priority to have)

[Updated R4 Review] Finished R4, and honestly, Jackerman outdoes it with every release. More scenes and renders, absolutely gorgeous characters, fun story (who cares about a "believable" story when the whole premise is fiction), voice acting, and new characters all make each release an upgrade to the last. Though the animations can use some work, the renders are very high quality. The proportion of the ladies isn't my favorite, but that doesn't effect how enjoyable this VN was for me at all (they're still hot af). I'm a huge fan of bestiality, and this game really caters to that with dogs, horses, gorillas, and aliens. Though, I really prefer dogs to the rest. Since there aren't many games revolving around bestiality and with amazing renders like this, it certainly deserves 5-stars in my book.

I sincerely hope Jackerman keeps making quality content like this. PLEASE PLEASE make that hinted sequel with Rebecca's dog, Roscoe, and her twins! Regardless, I'm sure we can all look forward to whatever Jackerman creates next.


[Original July2020 Review] Simply put, I love the concept. Simple click adventure and pretty straightforward progression, but the little bits of story are still fun themes. The renders and animation is really on point. The two babes are smoking hot! Love the K9 fuckbot scenes. Please keep it up or if you do other projects, I'm absolutely looking forward to them!

Its simple and easy and rebecca is one of the finest model.
The animation are awesome,person i recommend you to use more lights while rendering cause they look kinda dark missing the details

amazing Work!! keep it up Jackerman.

**Review for Version 2.1**
What a great game! If you are a fan of corruption, bestiality or mind control then goddamn I got a game for you! This mixes some of my favorites together in a simple yet sexy "game". Here's my breakdown...

----------GOOD----------
- Unique Fetishes: If you like the fetishes this deals with then this is a must play; some of the fetishes are harder to find in sex games (and on F95 zone) like bestiality, space tentacle sex or large insertions. Also I personally love the corruption fetish and talking her into doing sexy things is great here.
- Simple game play: In the "first part" there's a small mini game that is not hard at all, and seems to be abandoned in the "second update". I think cutting the mini game for a more "explore and make money to progress" is fine. Very easy to progress.
- Animations: The animations look pretty great (7/10) and the models all look nice. good sex scene animating.
- Voice acting! : Here's a game that NEEDED voice acting, because it is mainly just talking to the main girl. Adding voice acting adds a whole star for me. Also the lady they got to do her voice does a great job!

----------BAD----------
- (opinion) Proportions of model: The models proportions are a little bit much for me but that's just my opinion, not taking a star off for this.
- Lighting: Some of the sex scenes lighting is a little dark, like in the horse scene you cant see her face much at all. minor complaint because mostly they look great.
- No sex scene sounds: Most of the sex scenes (the animated loop parts) don't have sound, no moaning or wet slapping. I think ONE sex scene had sound and that was nice but adding some sound to that (preferably the girls moaning or whatnot) would be good.
- Nipples: This is a small gripe but the models nipples are a little flat, they don't seem to get hard or poke out much.

----------Conclusion----------
I loved this game and the fetishes it deals with! slightly bummed the action and "corruption / mind control" was just a simulation, hope we can get some more of that again for real this time. But I did love the K9 dog scenes with the main girl. Hope this only gets better!

Hey this is a great game i love the animations and the character rebecca is hot as heck her body is a real bombshell so sexy, i'm not so much into tentacles but in this game it seems alright and i guess we will see other scenes in future updates like robots

One star for the thicc female and that's about it, I didn't really enjoy anything else about this.
Her exaggerated proportions made everything else look tiny in comparison (even the horse cock or the "huge" cock of the mc), she deserves something bigger.
The main character is unlikeable and talks like a retard.
I'm not a fan of sexual harassment / rape, so this made it less enjoyable for me and I'm not thrilled about the future inclusion of ntr, even if optional.
The sex scenes are way too dark, uninspired and sloppily rendered (way too grainy for one thing).
There is a whole bunch of repetitive actions you have to perform, which couldn't really be called gameplay.
What looked like it could have been a nice game, turned out to be pretty boring.

Good Points
+Woman look hot.
+We have animations.

Bad Points
-Story and plot is pretty empty. Actualy we dont even have plot or story at all. So its feels realy empty.
-Animations dont look that good. They need became more soft (25-30 imaged), better physics, more quality (in night scenes they look pixeled)
-Its not for everyone. Game more based bestiality even we can say we only have bestiality content. Cuz our MC is alien octopus with human looklike face. We have only some alien and dog sex scenes.

For The End
Well its not that bad game and have some hot scenes. But without good story/plot, good looking animations and sex scenes its not enjoyable that much. For bestiality lovers this could be more enjoyable but when we look for normal player or objektivly looking its little bit poor. 2 star rate is ok for this game. If DEV fix bad points it could be 3-3.5 star rate game to. I hope he will.

Amazing game that hits it's fetishes well. Renders are good for how long it's been out. Story is passable. Scenes are great.
Only 3 things keep it from a 5 IMO
... the map is a pain to navigate through at times, couldn't help but feel like it could lose a few rooms unless they're needed down the road, or it could use a map you can just click around without clicking 3 rooms you don't need every time you want to get somewhere.
... lotsa scenes!, however if not for the info the dev gave (which hopefully he'll keep putting out for now) it might have been hard to find them all, some guidance or at least scene tracking would be nice down the road.
... the knotting scene (anal) doesn't really show knotting (insertion), expression before, inside after, no images of the entry or her face during it, always figure if you're doing a fet show the fet happening.
Plus hopefully down the road when she's knocked up we can get a chance to milk those giant knockers, by hand (tentacle), by snout, by milking machine, not picky (they're amazing )
Edit: Decided to take it to a 5, it's doing something almost no other games are, but with the note I still hope the above issues get addressed.

Updated review for Rel 3... Continues to impress, 5 well earned so far.
Updated review for Rel 4... may be complete, hope not, as it deserves 6 stars.

A bit short but excellent animations. please don't waste time trying to make game mechanics in renpy, the current way to collect pheromones is tolerable. The idea of the story is good, talking is not boring. The lady looks perfect! Haven't encountered bugs. Can't wait to see more! Please have some bondage content as well.

Very good, looking forward to part three! Liked the fact that it wasnt linear, but also found the navigation a bit disorienting at the start. Really high quality animations and I love these types of stories. Keep up the good work!

This game is hilariously boring, there are no puzzles, there are no real choices, you just farm pheromones and exhaust all the dialogue options. Then you follow whatsherface around and click take video, very few of which are actually very interesting. One wonders why you can't videotape her getting fucked by the dog. Like, that's basically it, and I get that this is only the second release, but that doesn't make any of this good. (if sufficient updates fix this, I will update my review)
