VN - Ren'Py - The East Block [v0.7.2] [Bobbyboy Productions]

Review of v0.7.2

Luke and Kat are a couple that have just moved to New York. Luke has a fetish for seeing his GF Kat with other guys.
The only choices available in this game, either you choose to allow Kat to act like a slut under Luke's guidance or she does nothing. So it is a kinetic VN for all intents and purposes. This is another game where every guy is a creep and rapist out to molest the FMC. So in theory I should love this game lol.

The women models are good but not great. Kat is good looking, as is her sister Rebecca (but they look nothing alike!). Luke's redhead co-worker Claire has had a makeover thankfully, which makes her go from ugly to sexy. The rest of the women are extremely poor. Although there isn't many anyway.

The renders are also good but not great. Although some scenes are filled with extra details, others are not. Details in faces are well done but bodies are poor... breasts, nipples, dicks etc. are all the same. Probably the standard Daz figure. Animations are only very quick two step actions. Overall its fine but feels very amateur.

The writing is also quite amateur hour, with some truly bizarre things occuring. Going against what human logic would do. There is no story or any purpose for the characters. Kat and Luke are the two MCs, that you make decisions for.
Luke's boss is the super villain who somehow has everyone on his payroll, even though he's only shown as being the owner of a small office based company.
It's basically just random encounters of how Kat can act slutty with whatever men she comes across. Warning - She is a complete brain dead bimbo for all these interactions! Now there's plenty of these scenes which are fun and sexy. The problem is there is no setups, no motivations or meaning for them to happen. Kats scenes are mainly in public and mainly with old men - people will either hate that or love it. They are short and end abruptly all the time, which is a shame as they are hot scenes for the majority of the time. This game loves to milk the tease scenes. Although there kind of has been sex, I wouldn't really call it that, as its not exactly a full scene or even complete. Really only BJs and Handjobs, unless you count Luke fucking Kat. A couple of side characters can have sex with Luke. The whole point is to see Kat fucking other guys and we haven't really seen that in 2 years of development and not many updates left until the game is finished!

We don't know anything about the main characters, other than their sexual fetish. No idea what they do for work, what they do in their spare time, fav food or fav sports, likes, dislikes or even their personalities of what kind of person they are. Nothing has been shown in 2 years, that is poor writing ! The dialog between the pair is over the top with some really poor efforts at trying to have emotional scenes. Regular dialog between characters is fine but told in a very simple way.

If you're after a quick fap this should be the game to do it to but the problem is this game has milked the no sex thing for so long that it doesn't even have that - Only brief tease scenes. Because the game has no real story with average writing, that means slow burn players with a want for better storytelling will also feel cheated. We have the worst of both worlds here. The game is stuck in limbo as the dev has denied sex scenes as patreon support built up, so he could milk it for all it's worth. While also trying to make it a slow burn but doesn't have the writing talent to pull it off.

The final point is the poor development cycle. It went from a consistent 2 months release schedule. To 3 months, 4 months, The last being 6 months. With this current update likely being over 6 months. Dev keeps on making excuses but doesn't take any responsibility. While also making the same excuses for delays which he promised would never happen again. Very sad the way this game and the dev have fallen away after an exciting start.

I don't know why people give this 5 stars when it's really just another boring game for a quick fap with no story or relationship development. Some of the dialogue and choices are disgusting and feel like they were written by a horny teenager.

It's a typical story about a couple of swingers with one girl and a bunch of guys who want to sleep with her, and this has happened many times before. If you're expecting a good story and relationship development, this isn't for you, but if you're looking for a quick fap game, maybe give it a try.

I plan to Talk about the lack of representation in the game. I hope this situation changes in the future, but it's one of those games where you're limited to the author's narrative. The female character treats the main character disrespectfully, and the protagonist seems to agree with her, perhaps because the author directed him that way. As a player, you're confined to this point of view; you can't disagree with the character. In fact, regardless of the situation, you can't have any opinion because you're restricted to how the author wants the protagonist to think. Besides that, the game seems promising.

very rarely have i conjured up the term 'low brow' during my half century of years on this planet, especially when i can think of many other ways to describe something that invokes images of a steaming pile.
And yet, low brow was my first impression so we will go with it

the imagery is really not my thing. hourglass figures that look a little too pinched and none of the females look particularly 'fantasy' enough to hook me in.
this is coupled with a script fresh out of a porn channel. certainly i found no signs that the writer has even read a single erotic novel....a comic is probably the closest thing. i can forgive shit translations as there are always signs that the depth is lost in translation. reading this was just a mental flossing.

on the plus side, the dev can code....that's something...right?
see? i can be positive too
i just couldn't find anything else to be positive about other than deleting it to make space for something else

Review of [v0.7.2]

AMAZING NTR GAME

The story describes a couple who moves to a new city, into a rather strange neighborhood with strange neighbors and things that happen in an attic.
The game allows you several paths, from pursuing your strangest fetishes and turning your wife into a whore, even though she truly loves you and does everything for you.

To avoiding all NTR/NTS and simply being happy with her, even though there are always men lurking around.

PROS

• Very Nice Detalied Renders
• OK Animations some better than others and with audio (from porn but ok)
• Some LEWD Scenes with your Wife
• Interesting Story
• Multiple Ways

CONS

• At the moment just 1 Sex scenes from your wife

RATING :

Content: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sound: ⭐⭐⭐
Renders: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Characters: ⭐⭐⭐
Animations: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Final conclusion: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very good game!

The woman look fantastic (10/10), the story is interesting, it has choices with some actual effect in the game (big + for me). The animations are not ideal, but I hope the creator can learn and improve, I think, it's mainly a skill issue, I assume due to the lack of experience.

I can really see some very promising qualities of the developer. Looking forward for the next releases and recommending it hands down!

Rating: 5/5

This one is decent, but not great. There is some potential, I particularly liked the mystery it carried a bit at the beginning, but as answers are starting to form, I'm finding myself less interested each time. Characters are a bit all over the place, some are more interesting than others, but quite often they have very strong mood swings and inconsistencies, just in the last chapter for example the FMC went through a traumatic experience just to have the next scene on the beach be perfectly fine. Not how human psyche works. Choices do seem to matter, with several possible paths, but we'll see in some more advance if it goes beyond simply choosing which character's routes to follow or not to.

Render quality is pretty decent and character models are quite different and nice. Animations are a bit basic and rough but are getting better. And I played without the music so can't say anything about it, and outside it there seemed to be no sounds that I can recall. Also, I found no bugs while playing.

So, so far, I'm considering this one a bit in the middle ground.

Starts off slow and steady with some light Exhibitionism and some teasing of the player. We think we're going to get some action, then something interrupts it and stalls it out. But not to worry, it's only building the anticipation. Unlike a lot of other games, this one actually has some excellent payoff.

It has the absolute, number 1, greatest gloryhole scene I've ever seen in a porn game, NTR/NTS or not. It's going to be difficult to top that scene, but I have faith in this one.

The cumshots aren't one-shot freeze frames with terrible renders of the cum, either. There's no dribble ending with a tiny bit of white liquid on the FMC that could be sweat for all we know. It has rapid-fire, multiple shots during animation, and her mouth actually fills up with the cum as it happens. Not the best cum renders I've seen, but it's up there (top 3 at least, imo), especially with how the animations are handled.

If they manage to exceed expectations as relative to that scene as much as that scene did for this update (if that makes sense, it does in my head), then I would give this game a 6/5 stars if I could.

The other stuff, the non-porn storylines are alright. They're not bad. Not nearly as bad as a lot of other people are saying. It's doing it's job of worldbuilding, creating a narrative that explains why the couple are so eager to jump into NTS/NTR when there was never a hint of it before. It makes sense to me to include it for that reason, so I won't detract any points despite it being a bit out there, lol.

Excellent sharing/netorase game that is actually written well keeps away from the hardcore NTR stuff. Renders are high quality and improve over time. Love the option to have scenes with other women and those characters are written perversely but believable. Story is interesting and I'm actually invested in the oddballs trying to get Kathryn. Only downside is the rate at which updates roll out but I won't remove a point because everyone's process, team, life, etc is different. Keep up the good work dev.

There are many paths I haven't seen yet, but the open relationship scenarios in this VN are top shelf. It's a fun story overall, with some mystery and horror elements, plus the usual/optional NTR type antagonists. The overall feeling is a blend of kinky and wholesome, with Kathryn willing to get VERY kinky in the sharing route while having fun and maintaining a positive relationship with Luke (who has many opportunities for spicy adventures of his own). The Daz renders looked crisp and the girls' character models were very attractive. Kath is a D-I-M-E, one of the best NTS heroines on the site. Check this one out A-S-A-P!

One of the, if not the, best vn in its category. Excellent story writing. Good and Clean animations and graphics. Hypnotising soundtrack. Realistic dialogue. Memorable main events. Excellent FMC. Interesting spooky undertones. Great cliff hangers at the end of every season. High potential to be a landmark vn of its category.

A great NTR game with a lot of potential.
This story is about the main character and his beautiful girlfriend Kathryn. He has the power to corrupt her into NTR related topics. A lot of situations where you can "bump" her into a naughty route... sexual encounterments (or dreams) with his work colleagues, boss, strangers... you can also cheat on her... it has a lot of potential... while I think its not a bad thing, but Kathryn is written a bit naive for my taste.

In my opinion, right now the main story ends at the point where it gets very interesting for any NTR enjoyers - hopefully the next story.

(review for v0.6.2)

Nasty and off-putting with its rehashed NTR tropes of blackmail-y subplots, showing off to bums, getting groped by ugly bastards as well as the more typical regular AVN moments such as random side-hoes instantly throwing themselves on you, glory holes and patronizing NTR trigger warnings throughout the entire game like it's a 90s show on Netflix.

As the writer struggles with putting together a properly paced narrative and corruption progression, he forces in CONSTANT dream sequences to imitate the game having more content than it really does. In the meantime, actual existing characters and situations get way too little attention as the males approaching the wife get creepier, the wife dumber and their encounters faster-paced and consequence-free.

Like with many other games of the sort, you have way too much control as instead of developing a progression system that would push the girlfriend towards certain actions the game turns into the usual binary "PRESS X TO CUCK" as you get to once in a while make a fascinating choice between witnessing content and witnessing nothing.

Overall, the bare bones basics of an AVN are there which I guess is already more than can be said about so many NTR games but I struggle to point out anything that it does well.

One of the best netoraSe games I've played sofar. Kath is gorgeous! If you like this kind of game, just play it. But I was still hoping for a happy ending. Don't break Luke and Kath, whatever they've done.

Superb game, quickly additive, can't wait to play more.
As many said before, the slow paced corruption on a gentle caring girlfriend, the love and shared affection, the contrast between a pure soul and many nasty characters that get to mingle, it's very arousing

- Game changer: The choices affect your Destiny.
- Plot: Really good, NTR or not this Visual Novel works well when you change dialogs. (Not recomendable for someone to dislike NTR, anyway is avoidable... pretty nice)
- Environment: Casual, A to C (a realistic lore in zones)
- Relationships: ... I will say you'll had many characters, lovers
- Talking Simulator: It deppends xD, maybe the girlfriend asks too much.
- Finished Game?: To be Continued... (For until now)

An amazing 5 star rated game in my opinion. Some PRO and CONS are:
1) The girls looks super hot when her hair down and looks super uggo in pony tail, but the good thing is most of the times she has her hair down.
2) The story is pretty good but also she gets into kinky stuff a little too soon without much build up, but still she takes a very long time to get fucked. Again, not a big problem.
3) There is only one NTR route where the BF is a cuck, there seems to be cheating path which is still in early phase but that still needs to be seen how it works out.

Overall a perfect NTR game. I'd give it a 5/5 and I'll support the DEV in case I get rich someday.

With a constant stream of AVNs dropping every day, it's unusual to play one that grabs me and keeps me coming back. "The East Block" is one of those rare gifts that not only serves as hot porn, but also delivers a fun, engaging story. The core plot is pretty far fetched, but the writing and characters sell it. As crazy as it is, the story has me hooked.

The visuals aren't top tier, but certainly above average and they do what they need to. The characters are attractive and the scenarios--despite being mostly standard porn tropes--are highly erotic. In short, if you like sharing and cheating themed AVNs at all, "The East Block" is an excellent one.

Great game, story and everything about the NTR genre. I would like to see some more facial expressions (ahegao, slight wincing/pain) and maybe some "getting used to" from kathryn for taking the bigger ones. and i can't WAIT for the rest of this amazing story!! amazing everything so far
