VN - Ren'Py - The Inn [Ch.2 v1.01.05] [Lykanz]

Look I am giving this a 3 and that is more of a gift than something earned. Let me get into why and the first reason is pretty much it in a nutshell.

The name of the game is .....The Inn. 2 chapters in and ......there still is no Inn in sight. There is a dream of one but that said most of the 2 chapters have been dreams and wierd ass delusions anyway. So there you go on a nutshell. The title of the game does not match the content.

You have a list of content choices that you are told you can freely choose what you want to see at no consequence. WRONG! Taking the check off of NTR you are told that you just threw away most of the story and a loop gets created with content advisory boxes advising you of what NTR is and if you remove it what happens every time you deselect it. Gave up abd just left it. Wish there was a "writer" remove selection instead though. But we will get to that next.

Writer.......What the hell drugs was the dev on that he or she decided this was a wise decision to put into this? Most annoying crap I ever had to partially read. Partially read because like a huge amount of story in these first 2 chapters I just clicked my through it as it is nothing but pointless filler anyway. SECOND biggest flop to this one. Oh and if you think this is a minor annoyance, you have not played the first chapter all the way.

WTF is with the 20 to 30 minutes of pointless clicking on a Discord page that makes zero sense and provided no relevant addition to the story? Filler because the Dev was high and couldn't write?

The ART is fantastic and that is what I based the 3 stars on. The animations to the sex while not the best I have ever seen its not absolute rubbish either. They actually are very decent and worth Fapping to. Too bad you have to sit through 500 miles of crap writing to get to them.

What the hell is happening to the plot lone in the story? Down on his luck bartender meets old man and magically inherits old mansion and 150000 clams? Cliche but okay I guess. Broke ass bastard has a magic dick that causes women to instantly want to screw him and fall in love with him once they do. Come on! Entertaining true but weak ass writing. I like the fact the MC rides a motorcycle......Sometimes. Not many biker related games out there. Then it gets into him dealing with FBI, Mafia, Weight Lifting Championships, Ghosts, SexBots, and Secret labs in underground bunkers. Did I mention yet that this is supposed to be about running an Inn that does not exist?

This is a confusing mess that might be salvagable if the Dev hired someone who could actually write a sensible story. Good for a Fap but not a memorable experience so far. If it improves my rating will as well.

One of the best VN out there
Animations - 10/10
Story - 8/10
Characters - 10/10 ...mom is fine AF
Did not see the reviews but didn't need them, hoping the creator continues the story..need more lesbian stuff

Bro amazing work playing that shit in Portuguese its hilarious maybe a have a shit sense of humor but anyway keep the good work man It's hard to find good games like this and by the way when I downloaded the game and see that as minigame like guitar hero I spend like 30 min in this shit excellent work fr bro

Humour
Easy gameplay
Beauty renders
in-game galery thats a point here
Good story

Really nice and fun game, with a refreshing story.
That said the game needs some more interactivity with the world, not only for story related reasons but also for side activities in order to make the world feel more alive.
I'm curious how the story and game mechanics will develop.

Dont get the hype, It is trully very rare to find a game this boring.

Started nice storyvise, but then you find "someone" in a secret room and..
Since the auto speed minimum is 15 sec between sentances ?! you have two options : sit there for over an hour reading a uberlong boring conversation or click over a 1000 times.. yes in words Thousand times till that conversation is over.
Hell.. the talk in that room is like half of the current games content.
Also the text box is just below the very middle of the screen.. genious indeed.
At the current build it does not make much diffrence since theres barely any content except for long dull dialogs and a couple of scenes with a single girl that are also poor too. What exacly is taking over 3gb of memory is beyond me.

Dont see how a game like this could be worth of anyones time even years from now.

Good quality HS renders with nice looking decensors.

The plot matters very little - at least, it mattered very little to me. It cannot matter, rather, when you're constantly being shot at with memes of the last 2 decades.

And, honestly, I'm fine with that. Couldn't care less about Whatshername tragic story or Whatshername's tsundere routine to be frank.

The 4th wall breaking, however, got me . Filthy Frank in his paddy made me actually laugh out loud. The Deja Vu joke could have been more subtle but it got a pass. Overall, the nonsense hit the mark.

However, shooting about a hundred pics of your discord server and putting them in your game to pad the content is outright assholish. Like, no bro. Just, no.

A great game with good renders and characters.
The comedy made me laugh a little not gonna lie but it's too cringe heavy in the early part of the game. It dies down more and becomes more rare later on in the story and it actually does get more funny the less there is of it weird enough.
The animations were standard but done tastefully. Usually these Koikatsu/HoneySelect/Shoujo/AI games tend to have stale animations. Here you get several angles with a great UI, no complicated bullshit.
The girls are all hot, personally country girl is my favorite but I like the sisters and mom models as well.
All in all, the only reason I give this game a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is because of the pacing. There's 7GB of content in chapter 1 and bare any of it at all is with Linda. It sucks that so much of the content was just the incest part. While incest IS one of my favorite tags, it's overdone so with the introduction to Linda and the story itself, I expected the game to show less of the family, maybe a plotline that forces them to move EARLY, anything to get back to the farm. Instead we get really well crafted scenes with a fun and good story that makes me enjoy it less since I'm basically just waiting for him to go back to the fucking farm lmao.
All in all, this MIGHT get the star it lacks for a perfect 5/5 IF chapter 2 features Linda more (maybe clare as well). Basically have the incest family part take a backseat for the 2nd chapter since the 1st chapter was chock-full of it.

Top tier game right here. Man there's not much negative things I can say about this one guys.

Reviewing as of Ch. 2 v1.01.03

Pros:

• The characters are extremely well-made
• A lot of jokes and collabs from other games! Nice to see!
• Game keeps it light-hearted with serious undertones
• Plot is stable and easy to follow
• A bunch of girls to get scenes from
• Mom is best character
• Futa and other kinks are in the game
• Gallery is in the game
• Around 3-4 hours to complete 100% if you take your time

Cons:

• Alright some of the jokes are cringy

Conclusion:

We are only in chapter 2 and this game is one of the best on the site. I can't recommend this game enough! Please play it and enjoy this masterpiece!

I am only just now finding this game, and I can see where maybe early on it wasn't as good. With the VN mode (which I greatly appreciate) and all the bells and whistles, and the huge amount of content, I realize I'm a bit spoiled with not having to wait for years and years for something new and improved.

That being said, this game is a solid 5/5 as of me finding it today, and if I could I would give it an extra star for referencing Steel Panther many times. Anyone that loves Steel Panther is a-ok in my eyes.

I'm honestly not really a fan of this type of model (I believe they are Honey Select??), but these are actually pretty great. I could do without the freckles on the redhead's body that look like monkeypox sores or something, but aside from that I have zero complaints about the models. The story is average, but honestly I prefer straightforward plots, with a walkthrough no less, because all these authors that think I'm going to play their game 17 times to be with different girls or get different endings are sadly mistaken. So I appreciate a game where I get everyone I want on the first try.

Highly recommend this one, unless you need a convoluted plot and wasting tons of time seeing different outcomes.

The constant 4th wall breaks and interjections from the writer got super tiring very fast. They were overused and unfunny. I get what the dev is going for but it came across very amateurish. Maybe the writing gets better later on, but after the first 20-30 min I had to tap out. I guess maybe the average coomer would find it funny?

The Inn reminds me of the strange situation surrounding Maids and Maidens - both have a title and summary that are totally detached from what they offer. However that being said, The Inn features top notch graphics, plenty of animations and a good variety of superbly crafted lewd scenes.

Story
The story starts out with MC inheriting a rural house and deciding to convert it to an inn. I was expecting something like Harem Hotel with a story that revolves around a hotel or maybe Wicked Rogue which features a combination of brothel management and visual novel.

Interestingly the concept of an inn was briefly brought up and left to sit at the background for the rest of the game. Instead, we are treated with more slice of life events in school and home with MC's adopted family and friends.

The developer also warns players at the start that this is a slapstick comedy, but the slapstick only happens once in a while... I would classify The Inn more as slice of life with light humor. There is also an introduction of a conspiracy involving the mafia further down the road, whether this will form the backbone of the main story remains to be seen.

Game Mechanics
Most of the choices affect LI's affection and lust points, but they remain mostly cosmetic with variations in dialogue. The good thing is some choices allow you to pick the kind of sex scene you like, for e.g. a one on one or threesome.

Background / Character Renders
Background is a combination of HS stock images and perhaps some custom renders that serves its purpose. The game features occasional animations such as riding a bike and even a car race which add a nice touch to the overall experience.

Characters are rendered in HS2 with some sort of shader that creates a unique 1980s poster feel which stands out from other games. The main LIs feature bombastic proportions meant to address certain kinks - Joana has milk boobs, Val's a muscle girl, Luana is short and slightly fat. Linda's the only "normal" looking one I guess.

Character Development
As a slice of life comedy that does not take itself seriously, we aren't gonna get deep and serious character development. MC is a typical hentai pervert that thinks with his balls while the rest of the LIs are purposely troupey to make fun of the genre.

It's overall light hearted fun and none of the characters are obnoxious.

Sex Scenes
Surprisingly for a game that brands itself a slapstick comedy, it is at the sex scenes that The Inn truly excels. Most of the scenes are seriously hot, the camera angles and panning titillating and animations among the best I've seen in AVNs.

There's also a fantastic feature where many key scenes have 3 - 4 perspectives which players can pick to proceed and swich anytime. For e.g. a cowgirl position you can either choose to view POV, from the back emphasizing her butt, zoom out from the side or a close up on genitals depending on your kink.

This certainly beats the singular perspective or multiple but compulsorily cycled switches in the competition. A few games allow you to change POV, but usually there are only two options unlike The Inn.

BGM and Sound Effects
BGMs are mostly upbeat and light hearted as expected from a humorous game. There's quite a bit of sound effects especially the bike and car ones that add to immersion.

Conclusion
The Inn is a light hearted and fun game that features good humor and terrific sex scenes. The story is a bit hotch porch and character development thin as expected for games of this genre.

The inaccurate title and summary could do with a fix though. Unless the developer intends to revolve the story around the inn in subsequent chapters, the title or at least the synopsis could do with a refresh.

Recently, I came across this AVN, and it’s perfect in every aspect. graphics - Full marks, music - Full marks, story - Full marks—everything is top-notch. Bro, this game feels like Cupid shot an arrow straight into my heart! I mean, what’s there to complain about?

But there are some things that worry me—I noticed that the game has been updating since 2018, which means it’s been six years now. I’m not unhappy with the update speed or the content. But bro, you get what I mean, right? (The inn hasn’t even officially opened yet). I’ve seen too many talented and ambitious creators on this site who start off with great dedication to their updates, but as time goes on, it puts a lot of pressure on them. Many brilliant creators and their golden projects eventually end up with the 'abandoned' label.

I sincerely hope this game gets completed and brings everyone a wonderful experience

Wow, I'm really enjoying The Inn! The story has me hooked, especially because the characters are so interesting. All the girls are definitely standouts; they are gorgeous.

The visuals are also impressive. The character models are beautiful, and the environments are well-designed. The animation is smooth and adds to the overall experience.

Overall, this is a fantastic game! It easily gets a 10 out of 10 from me. The characters are engaging, the story is interesting, and the visuals are top-notch. Definitely worth checking out!

A wonderful game that has gotten better and better over time, demonstrating how good the author is getting at programming and developing the game with an increasingly engaging story and characters. (Fora varias zoeiras HUE BR)

The Inn [Chapter 1] Review

Boy, how I hate what I’m going to do right now. I really think Lykanz is talented and that The Inn is filled with great references and good comedy. The models look great and most of them have backstories which influence the way they act. But by the end of chapter one, this game went through three or four narratives - and none of them really matter aside from fucking women. Hear me out, I’m conflicted about this game.

STORY
Let’s tackle this conflict head-on.The game suddenly states on the main menu this game isn’t about an inn, even though you inherit something that could become an inn. You spend the first hour mixing two stories - fighting a moron as a bartender, losing your job, inheriting a mansion, sweet talking to a girl. You then return back to the home of your foster parents because of a tragedy. This is where the main story picks up as the game follows the days after said tragedy. You will re-bond with the women in your foster home and pursue a better, more intimate relationship with them.

All of this is done with tongue-in-cheek comedy and honestly, the comedy is what makes this game stand out. There are constant references to series, anime, memes and popular culture. It might become a bit slapstick or meta at times, but it helps make the sometimes monotonous story progression breathe some air. The four women you will focus on are different enough, both in personality and looks. Linda Mae is a stereotypical rural American woman who likes getting physical. Joana is your motherly figure who hasn’t seen a man’s touch in years. Valentina is the tomboyish ‘older sister’ who lifts like a lion and Luana is.. well.. a tsundere with princess complex? At some point I didn’t even want to bond with Luana anymore - but that’s not a choice the game will allow you. You will pursue all women and ideally, you’ll fuck them all and they all will know you will fuck them all.

The first hour, this game felt like a 9. Writing is good, Linda Mae is too stereotypical - but it feeds into the anime tropes, so it sort of works. Then things change and you find yourself working with a completely different story in a completely different environment. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but when you finally deepen your connection with the new story - two of the three women are basically trauma dumping on you until you get to fuck them. It had me skipping Joana and Luana for the most part, even though I really like their body types.

When the final part of the chapter hits, the game goes AWOL with gunshots, federal agents and a plot that seems to come out somewhat out of nowhere - but makes big impact for chapter two. It doesn’t help that the main character hasn’t developed much by the end of chapter one - even though he’s been assaulted, fucked and shot. That could be one of the anime or comedy tropes. But if so, it doesn’t really make sense to have all the trauma dumping in as well. It feels like a mismatch at times, while there is no denying Lykanz possess a lot of skill.

PRESENTATION
The game looks great. It’s Japan-style aesthetic combined with the cartoony looks aren’t the most realistic, but it looks coherent, vibrant and helps shape the universe. Memes are presented wonderfully and creative use of angles allows for better storytelling. You can tell Lykanz really took his time to capture the best angles - sometimes a leg or a hand will obstruct the very thing you want to look at. That self-referencing is why The Inn is a good game in it’s presentation. It knows her target group all too well.

The models all look great, even the side characters. You can always nitpick about facial expressions, but the Anime-style the game portrays allows the developer a bit of slack. Sex scenes can look a bit bland at times, but at the same time there’s content combines lust with humor which more than makes up for it.

GAMEPLAY
The Inn can be played in two ways - VN mode or Sandbox mode. As someone who finished the Chapter 1 sandbox, I see absolutely no reason to pick Sandbox mode other than a few extra scenes. And I like sandboxes better. The game underutilizes the sandbox model to the point where you just click a star to go to the next story point. Sure, you can open the phone and look at pretty things. But does it mean anything in terms of gameplay? Not really.

I do want to specifically state that Lykanz went out of his way to create a lot of clean, understandable user interfaces for the sandbox mode. It really looks like it should be used often, when in reality I found myself not even being rewarded for being curious with it. Perhaps in chapter two, the game can pick up on this and do more of a sandbox-type content distribution. The fetish filter and all the helpful tutorials all add to that, although the popup screens got mostly in the way in the end. But then again, I do think that’s by design as well.

And for the love of god, don’t disable basic features like screenshotting with the ‘S’ key. If you’re going to do it, at least give us an easy replacement. You’re not supposed to make basic features harder just to fuck with us. It’s like removing a mouse pointer in a selection screen. If it’s for shits and giggles, we can tolerate it for a while. But in a game that is otherwise outstandingly designed, that’s an oversight I wasn’t happy with.

OVERALL
Because I believe Lykanz went above and beyond to create something that he feels is right, I can admire this product. It’s not something I’m always happy with, but for the most part I enjoyed myself and sometimes had a great laugh. Go into this thinking it’s just another ‘relationship’ manager with fucked-up women and you’ll be better off. Go into this thinking you’ll get ‘Mystwood Manor’ sim-like gameplay and you’ll suicide just as fast as Mike did when he didn’t take the key. Even though, I’ll give this a solid 8 for effort.

I’m really looking forward to the next chapter from Lykanz, but I hope it’s more focused, paced well and even a little darker in terms of humor.

I enjoyed every minute of the game. The characters are hot, and the main story doesn't bore you. Watching the sex from multiple angles made it an even better experience. 10/10 game. Would definitely recommend this game.

I don't rate VN here usually, but play a lot.. And well this one is the only one those last year that I've found as funny as it is hot !
Dialogues are correctly written, animations are very well done, it's sexy and funny as hell, no crap grind, and even the music is good
Kudos to the Helicopter

Any game that allows me to play as Asian Handsome Squiward is a hit in my book!

Models 6/5 - top fucking notch (more linda mae, every time). very attractive and uhh fun camera angles!
Writing 3.5/5 - it can be a bit cringe but I find it funny most of the time. Heavy on the memes at times but I usually get a kick out of them. Dialogue does drag at points. Sometimes less is more.
Story 3/5 - Nothing crazy, but not sure it has to be!
Music 5/5 - At this point I have a hard point playing these games WITHOUT some music. And this one nails it.
Overall visuals 5/5 - you can tell the developer took a lot of time in creating the different environments and settings.

The wardrobe changes on the phone are a nice touch. Hell even the models spin. Nice touches like that add to a great overall aesthetic and look/feel.

Overall it's fun, sexy and entertaining.

The game is very well made.
The author took care of a whole of things, everything has a place, he managed to use great overall art...
But, as much it's too plain to have a game with only beautiful girls, is really too unfair to have a chubby lady, a old lady and a muscle lady (who's the kinda cute) having way more scenes than the prettiest one
I don't really know if the game will have more scenes with her in the second chapter, but it was a huge flaw for me...

I have to say at first i wasn't sure about how the characters looked, but I'm glad i stayed.
Starting to love the models and I like the game and storytelling.
The music is definetly a plus aswell, all in all I can't wait to see whats next.
There are a lot of posibilities and I hope the dev/writer will add new content soon!

Ratings :
story 4,5 / 5
models 4/5 (don't get met wrong they are great but there is something off aswell cannot really put my finger on it)
music 4/5
Gameplay : 5/5 smooth gameplay all the way.
