VN - Ren'Py - The Arson Betrayal [v0.7.5] [Crispy Chicken Productions]

The Arson Betrayal is one of the undiscovered gems of this site. The graphics are good enough, some minor clipping and such, but if you like the HS style there is nothing to complain about here. The story however is where this shines, it is immediately engrossing and kept me engaged from the start to the end of current content. I am looking forward to seeing the continuation of the story and have enjoyed the authors style so far. If you are looking for something new to play, you've stumbled on to the right game.

Wasn't blown away by the graphics.. but they are decent. However the story more than makes up for it. Well written and kept me interested from start to finish.. Can't wait to come back to this one as it progresses.

v0.3

The story is actually pretty intriguing, although I've recently played a lot of crime based games, they're nowhere near as numerous as incest moving in type of stories, so it's pretty refreshing and it looks like the story is heading towards a more interesting place.

The models and the scenes are fine, a bit of lag in some of the newer scenes, the models could be better, but generally I like HS models so I'm still giving a high rating, the character are unique as well for the most part since I haven't seen them used in other games, at least not 100%. Most of the characters are edited base characters, as in you can tell which model it is, however it's edited enough so you can see that an effort has been put in.

If I could give half stars, it would be 4.5, however I'm closer to a 4 than a 5 so I'm rating 4 stars.

As of v0.3
Great game loving the story so far , renders are nice and beautiful Hs models and well written characters . Game has music and sex scenes are animated which is good . The only drawback is that we have to have multiple saves to see all the scenes but I'm happy that we are not forced to choose between girls and have one girl per route and dev said there will be an option for Harem route as the game progresses .
Overall Amazing game with nice story and likeable characters and game gets frequent updates which is a Huge plus , looking forward to future updates .

This game is a gem, the story is engaging and interesting and it's moving in the right direction, the sex scenes are animated so that just makes it more immersive, personally i love this type of art style and i love how the girls look.
Overall the game is moving in the right direction and i hope there will be constant updates from the team. Good luck!

Well this was a good start. Good story build up. Renders are good for a honey select game. Well look at the screenshots if you like it gove it a try. Story is not fresh but it's not common story which we always see in these game. So that's a plus for me. And there is sound effects like gunshots, door creaking sounds etc. Models are cute and beautiful. I am always into slowburn romance and this one fas into that category. Don't worry there is sexual scenes in the game. MC is not an asshole nor big pervert. That's another plus for me. He cares for the other girls. Well this is a good start. Keep the current pace. Looking forward to next updates

NOTE: Exerpt from my post about 0.1

In all honesty, I like a lot about this.

Writing's suprisingly very good - the scope's very impressive for a 0.1 too - that's quite uncommon nowadays with most cash grabbing vns. The characters feel relatively unique in their position in the game, there's an apparent plot with a lot of story progress elements. There is suspicion and some humorous moments that remind me a lot of slice of life, yet it is not breaking the tension. It feels like it is progressing naturally. There's no rush, no sudden plot twists or point breakers that make it hard to follow. Speaking of characters previously, I felt like they're fulfilling their job quite nicely. No unexpected "wtf" moments that leave you bubble gasping (expect one or two, but overall it's fine I guess?) or felt out of place. They're unique in their disposition and bring depth, too.

Renders have a few interesting qualities, too. I liked the occasional scene from the way they're done. Nicely working with what you got. And you're utilizing lighting - which is more about it than a lot of other games.

I've heard most of the songs already, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At least they fit the tone of the scenes. And they exist! Again, more than a lot of other games can show.

I fucking hate you for the end, though. Holy shit that was good. Build up was gorgeous. Not gonna lie, it felt like a well-thought out, healthy progress. I do have some expectations from it for the future.
