VN - Ren'Py - The Grey Dream [Ep. 5 - Steam Halloween Side Story] [TheGreys]

The models look good, the renders are OK. But the sex animations aren't that engaging.

The dialogs & the story feel very detached, with highly fragmented if not disconnected scenes. A guy hiding under the table, some random sex encounters etc. give it all a schizoid vibe. Thus it's hard to relate to the characters.

A great start. Game does satisfactorily on all accounts, but most of all, the renders and animations are just out of the world, a great achievement for a first project. Visually the game is among the top ones, maybe even above them. Good amount of content and sex scenes too, hate it when the games just take years to get to the good part. Lots of potential to be among the best.
Definitely needs to be tried and worth supporting.

Most of the renders and models look great. I did notice a few that slipped past QA with under shirts bleeding through jackets and such, but overall high quality. Like others have stated the story bounces around a lot and sometimes without any warning. Example, you go skiing and right after getting on your skies and pepping yourself up it flashes to late that evening. Other scenes seemed rushed or incomplete. You go to hang with a friend and you hang for two minutes before leaving, unless you have optional fun with a stranger (which is like 5x as long). The scenes just need to be fleshed out more and story flow improved and it would be a five star game.

I just finished playing this and I enjoyed it I can't wait for the next episode. The renders are great and the character models are stunning and beautiful. Gonna keep an eye on this in the future. 5/5 so far.

Looks awesome so far. Lets talk about the looks first. Renders are amazing this is one of the best looking games ive played. The girls are obviously very beautiful even tho sometimes the faces of a few characters look a bit weird.
Storywise there isnt too much to tell since its only episode 2 but it definetly looks interesting and promises to have an entertaining plot. You start in a new company but its not really clear what your job exactly is or what its is the company does. You start by running an errand for your boss but i dont know if its inentional to be this vague about the company and your job or if the dev just doesnt want to label it so you can imagine yourself what you think would fit.
Apart from that it looks like the characters are well thought up and are deep enough so you can get immersedi n the story. The conversations are well written and the music fits good and enhances the atmosphere.

All in all i would say definetly a must try.

Visually it is nice, girls look great, though somehow they all look pretty much alike, I had a hard time distinguishing whether this blonde was this character or another, same with brunettes.

The dialogue was a bit wonky at times, sentences put together not quite right, some spelling and grammar issues, but nothing that is a real problem.

The story seems pretty standard fare so far.
Now, the reason why I didn't rate it higher than 3 stars is two-fold.

For one, the story seems weirdly disjointed. The transitions often don't really make sense, and it seems as if a scene was missing or at least as if a scene ended too abruptly. Scenes don't flow together, it seems more like you as the MC jump from one to the next.
All in all, I had to constantly guess what was up now. Not that it was impossible, but it seemed unnecessarily complicated through that weird story-telling.

MC comes off like a dick quite a lot, the new best work friend is fucking annoying, most of the girls seem not that likeable as well for now.

I hope the devs work on that, because this game could be good, the foundations are solid.

Updated Review for Ep. 3

It actually has to be some type of curse with how many Daz AVNs look incredible visually but fall flat in literally every other aspect. This might be one of the blandest games I have ever played on this site. I reviewed this once before and just played it again, yet even after that I don't remember much about it.

I don't say this to be mean, but I do not think writing is the dev's strength to say the least. At no point did I feel any type of emotion present in the dialogue, which felt strange actually. If you told me the events and story were AI generated I would not be surprised. I don't think this game really knows where it's going?

Another thing I noticed is that the camera position for all the renders is constantly in a characters face and it started to bother me after awhile. Give me some room to breathe man.

This game gets hard carried by its visuals, and that isn't enough for me. Will probably forget about this again in a few days.

This game has one hell of a potential on long run. Renders are top level. Mood is very good. Beautiful female and male characters, Though MC's looks need some tuning, in some shots he looks wierdish?

Cannot tell much about story because their has not been shown much. Episode 1 is more like a Episode 0 or Prologue.. It sets up setting but nothing else. We might have diamond in our hands. For now I am gonna wait and see how updates will be delivered, Before starting supporting game by Patreon

My personal advice will be Story>Sex..

Very good renders, animations are awesome. the story is not much revealed yet, but I hope it will be interesting because with this type of visual this game already has a lot going in its favor, so with a good story this game can become excellent.

The renders are good and for now the story didnt even started because its an introduction of characters. DIdnt saw nothing about relationship points (maybe they arent visible i suppose). Hope the dev implement meaningful choices that can have impact on the story and on characters and put more choices not only 2 choices to choose. There is sometimes instead appearing the name of the character that is talking appears interrogation ponts even when we know already the name. It has potential the game.

Amazing debut.. Quality visuals.. Immediatly showing a reason it will be a good read..
Characters are well designed and some familiar character models (which i like to see, as said in other reviews its like seeing a known actor in a different movie role)
Interesting title, good english and able to understand..
looking forward to see where this goes from here..
Nice Work

Really awesome start, excited to see more!

Beautifull models (the best i've seen in adult games), good dialogues, awesome animations, good number of choices for a first release, everything looks good, hope it keeps improving.

Great renders, amazing animations, suitable music, interesting beginnings, and a lot of choices.

This game has great potential. It's really worth trying this game. I'm looking forward to future updates.

It is very early to judge the game in its current state, but everything that has been presented in it was elite besides some little misspelling here and there.
Each render of this episode is Wallpaper worthy, the women are gorgeous so are the men, this first release simply emanates quality. After this short introduction, I am left with a lot of excitement and eagerness for more.

I can't really talk about plot at this stage, but I highly encourage anyone to give this a try.

This looks good so far, technically well done, lighting, use of d-force, camera angles, positioning, designs, post-processing, music, etc.

An interesting script, you take the time to develop the characters, a lot of quality at a visual level as I already mentioned, it is rare to see this kind of projects, my advice, be consistent with deliveries, try to organize it by chapters, and if you have the idea to do something "slow burn", try not to burn the project in your hands, like many others on this page, people here have very little patience, and the apes will come out saying that a "porn game shouldn't have a story", Good luck.
