VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Terminus Reach: Sentinel [v1.0 official] [Talothral]

Excellent story , nice game, good dialogues and bug free play. Fun and engaging with just enough erotica.
A better conclusion to princess story line would have been good, it still satisfactory with whats left unsaid

A really good game, deep and engaging SF story.

There's a lot I like here, the story, the setting, many of the characters.
Not much was missing to make this a five star game. The story would absolutely deserve those five stars as would the setting.

Why then only four stars? Here's why:

1. The graphics, the renders the character models, all are just mediocre. They are not bad, they are not good.
2. The writing is not quite on par with the story. A few too many errors for me to ignore them, the writing in general isn't as engaging as the story and some of the dialogues are very, let's say stilted.
The problem is they read neither like someone regular would say, nor like what would be said in a heroic space opera like Mass Effect or Star Wars.
3. The main character. He's not really that likeable. Intentionally so, I think. But intentional or not, if he felt a bit less like a dick and a bit less overpowered, I would have enjoyed the game more. Make him strong, but not so strong that he can always win effortlessly, let others give him trouble from time to time. For me that would have been an improvement.

Perfectly fine though if the writer wanted exactly this kind of character.

4. The aliens could have been a bit hotter in human standards, especially the telepathic race grossed me out, when I saw the lower half of the body.
Some other characters could have looked better as well, but that is more a matter of personal taste, while the Psi-aliens really look ugly.

I want to make clear that this is complaining on a very high level.
The game is so damn good, that for a lesser game, this wouldn't even be a reason to criticize.
Just because the story and the setting are so good, are these minor problems even worth mentioning, because if the writing was a bit better, the renders a bit crisper and sharper, with better lighting and the design of that one Alien race a bit more anthropomorphized, this would be a near perfect game.

Well written and captivating story with many interesting characters. The sex scenes were a little bland but who cares when you have such a good story to support it. The ending could offer some closure with a sneak peak of what happened to the characters. Overall a great game.

One of the best games with aliens i have played and all together one of the best games, ending could have been better and some anal sex along with some issues with grammar but all in all a top notch game.
The harem was epic with the aliens and others in it.

Story. 10/10
Sex. 7.5/10
Characters. 10/10
Art/renders. 7.5/10

Game is a 10/10
Thanks to the people who made it and thanks to this site for having it.

Great story, good writing, important choices, lovely sex scenes, very entertaining! Characters aren't flat and dull, but actually interesting. Impressive. Had too play in 2 very long sessions, because very interesting all the way through.

The bug is very sneaky though. Should probably fix in the real release.

The game is great. I loved the story. The problem I have with this is that there seems to be missing lines in the story. Sometimes one of the characters will say something and instead of a response they just continue talking as if the person responded to them.

if u read it before playing that game- be sure you have plenty of time.
ok, ill try to classify that game first of all- its 90% kinetic novell and 10% choice-based novell, second- its not simple porn game, its big sci-fi themed book with huge amount illustrations and adult content.
this game have unusual origin- game released as completed product w/o feedback and have huge amount content- thats raise raiting by 1 (i think thats be fair)
PRO:
-huge amount not bad CG
-story. as i wrote- its sci-fi book.
-code is ok
NEUTRAL:
-eng in game not so simple, and some people ll read it slowly
CONS:
-huge amount CG hits details. i mean some poses, emotions(lack of them), gestures looks unnatural. imho better make half of that 6k pics, but with more details
-no animations. animations replaced by swithed pics. in that game that not so important, but if dev ll make another game- better put some animations.
-many bald characters (nothing against that, i myself am halfbald by age), but it looks a bit unnatural...

so that was good game/book and got fun. to dev: u do good work, but its wrong way(for popularity and patreon)- people dnt like read too much, they like tits, pretty faces, porn animations etc. gl, dev.

Interesting sci-fi story which definitely hooked. Interesting and mature protagonist who is basically monstrously powerful and is refreshing to play. The characters are rather likable and the idiosyncrasies of different races make them believable and their change in thought after the interaction with the MC is fun journey. The sex scenes are done well enough and renders are of good quality but the sex in itself is vanilla (as vanilla as it can be with alien races).

The one thing that people might take issue with is the fact that most drama or concerns are sorted out rather quickly and in a happy way (expect the over-arching story). The mini-conflicts so to speak are usually dealt with quickly but in a meaningful way. For me personally, that is very much appreciated as I don't want the conflicts to streched out for the sake of it.

In essence, I have to say this is a very well written VN. There are grammatical errors and that is to be expected given that the English is not the Dev's native language and at no point did it detract from the story-telling. The characters are unique in both their models and their personality and are very likable. If you want an interesting journey in a well made sci-fi world, then you should give this a try but if you want a quick fap, you should look elsewhere. This is one of those games like Reluctant Archon (one of my top 3 games on here) and Once In A Lifetime, that benefits from paying attention to the story, dialogues and character progression rather than jumping from scene to scene.

Lastly, no matter what anyone says, Chiel is one of my favorite charaters on this site. Great work on this Talothral.

Wonderfully written scy fi story with very good pacing and suspense. To me it felt almost like reading a Rogue Squadron book - with the plotting and the interaction between the different races. The MC feels almost like a mix between a jedi and a smuggler in that regard.
The erotic scenes fit the story and the dynamic between Garrett(MC) and Chiel is just great to watch.
My only (very minor) complaints are the not so great animations and models, apart from that the game is fantastic!

Unique Story, really drew me in. Would have loved a little more diversity in the aliens appearance, but the story, overall game play and adult content were among my favorite so far. I appreciate teht all teh women did not have the same body type, but was really hoping to see more of the first prositute or a romantice line with one of the 18 year olds introduced through the process. But still very much enjoyed the game. Thanks

The story was realy good! There was a backstory for each race.
The art of the different races was good too, they are all human-like.
(Could be that some people would like to have some more different races.)
The end was a little short, like it was made in a rush.
But I realy liked the game.

I was drawn into this story pretty quickly.

Some of the characters are flat out amazing and I wanted to see more of them, mainly Chiel who was great from the moment she appeared on screen.

I did find some of the insults the main character used to be a bit immature but i'm heavily into my banter so that doesn't count really, it gets it's point across and lets you know how he feels about people I don't think there was any need to be more creative regardless of how much I would enjoy it.

I'll be honest I didn't stick around to see sex scenes, the story and lore of the station had me hooked, the sex scenes were a bonus and quite a pleasant surprise.

It's not just humans involved in the sex. Although Chiel is alien she looks human apart from a few little quirks like her implants, ears and baldness. I know some people don't like bald women but it made her look far cuter than a hairstyle would have.

As for the aliens there are 3 different species he gets involved in sexually and while one of them may seem ugly at a glance (the one with the horns) she actually grew on me quite a lot to the point where I looked forward to seeing her scenes.

Sage is probably one quite a few will like. She got all that ass and then some, buff and adorable as fuck.

The rest of the cast are all really well done even temporary side characters did their role well.

I really want to see more. The dev has built a world here and i'd love to know more about it and the species that live there and especially know more about Garrett and the women he's close with.

All in all a really great read I highly recommend.

Well. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I know a lot of people on this site are just looking for fap material, But I think it is important for there to be at least some kind of story, no matter how common it may be (Big Brother, etc.). And the story offered in this game is better than most that I have seen.

I formally state, for the record, this is one of the best stories I have ever seen, with or without sex scenes.

excellent story, decent models and not a single bug for being the 1.0 version there are not as much porn scenes like the usual game, but it dont really need that much scenes, the story is interesting enough to put it as a secondary thing in this game. Totally recommended as a good sci fi story.

Its good, but can improve .

Various scenes have a slight tilt and the angle of the camera is too low, giving an off impression.

But the story is good , there lots of sex scenes and a good ending.

P.S.: there is a base to a sequel or series of VN in the same universe

The story is good, the visuals are outdated to be blunt. The sex scenes are not great. everyone is bald. Oh and the best part! If you make the wrong choice at any point in the game you don't get to find out till the end that you made a bad choice. Doesn't even tell you what choice/choices you made wrong. You can't play this without a walkthrough or you will waste like a day playing it like I did.

Very decent game. Weird and sometimes boner-killing sex animations, sometimes quite hectic/TMI/WTF dialogs, but strong and catchy story-line, a lot of twists, the main plot is clear while not always logical - very entertaining.

Great story. I loved every development. The characters have been well delineated. I particularly liked Chiel and Nova. Perhaps the character of the princess should be expanded, but it does not matter much.

Surprised to see a completed game pop out from nowhere, so i gave it a try
Nice setting (i love sci-fi) and i liked most of the characters, not many choices, but the story was good (not great, but good), so not a problem

The first part until you meet all the characters was somewhat interesting but then there's no progress whatsoever and it feels like a loop of the same scenes over and over, despite there being 6k+ images in total, it gets tiring real fast midway.

I really tried getting invested in the story but honestly, it requires too much patience. The character development is really poor for side characters and choices appear inconsequential other than to avoid bad ending.

In terms of sexual content, it will leave you wanting. I don't think most people have that much sex with their wife even IRL, let alone in a sci-fi VN. You expect people in the future to be more open minded about sex. If you want sexual content, don't play this VN, it will cuck the fuck out of you whenever you think your favourite character may have a sex scene, they won't, except one or two scenes out of hundreds, maybe being naked for 2 frames but that's about all you'll get.

The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the dev seems to have put a lot of work on it and besides seriously lacking sexual content, it's not all that bad, it's just too bland. I've played a lot of VNs but I have never felt this tired before.

I really hope the dev takes this as a learning experience and adds a bit more diversity in the scenes in future games or if they try to remake this, maybe having more locations would help, more character development of characters other than the wife, even if it's just through 3rd person perspective. Idk, I feel like this concept has a lot of potential if it is polished and the dev tries to make it a bit denser as it is very plain and simple, without making it any longer. Just needs some life.
