VN - Ren'Py - The Island [v0.3.10] [MichaelFenix]

Disaster, mindless fuckfest game without any story. What is even worse full of forced lesbian stuff - plenty of them. Dev is totally obsessed with it.. and you My Dear player have no fucking choice in that matter. Male protagonist avns are mostly or fully focused on straight scenes, not otherwise

Game for people who like sharing/lesbian content and mindless sex scenes. If you are not into that - stay away from this, 1 star

- It just a simple sex story venture, some choices are bad and that's it.
As far as I see this is a fine - very fine story with proper sex scenes.
- Does the story boring ? Quite yes. But it's not a shit one.
- Personally it just a quicky game to me, I just attention to the main stream of the story and skip almost all the dialogs.
3.5 out of 5. But I give it 5 since many people who got no life at all like to criticism like they expecting some fancy meals ON a pirate site ....
Also - not all models are ugly, they are just a little old G models.

Wow. Would love to rate this higher but at this point I think 2 is just perfect. Game is v0.3.9 at the time I write this.

Choices.....Making the choice to cum in the wrong person's hole can end your game. But bear in mind that one person can have as much lesbian sex as she wants (And 65 percent to 70 percent of this game is all lesbian content with a ton of anti male references tossed in). There are occasionally other dudes banging your sex partners with you watching. its usually supposed to be ok as they write it off as an orgy. I hate sudden death games from making a choice the game did not like!!!!!! Came in this girl but does not matter that he is smashing uglies with 2 girls that were supposed to be his sisters just a few months prior. Come on, really! A lifetime of being family just does not disappear that quickly except in poorly written porn games.

Story.....What story really? There is a bit of one but it really does not count for much as it more like a low grade porno theme story and the game just sort of floats around it and nudges it a bit occasionally just to remind you that one is there. Needs a lot more love to it.

Animations....God please show them some love. Most scenes are animated in way too close of a point of view or hideous angles. The lighting is off as well. Some scenes are so dark you can hardly see the action at all.

Come on man, there are 3 girls that look exactly alike in the very beginning of the game. Once they are naked you can't tell them apart yet the color scheme for the names does not help because the ones chosen blend into the backgrounds so bad they can hardly be read either.

This game needs a lot of work. I just don't think it will receive the care it needs to make it fun. And Dev, people really do not like sudden death choices in these games.

love this game. though it might be labeled as a fuckfest it's still fun. especially i liked following the growth of pervertion for the twing (soon to be triplets). the models are nice, lewd scenes are not irritating and boring - far from it even without heavy kinks. even their constant squirting is real fun. although i lost the trail of the plot somewhere i still keep enjoying the game. so fir me it's solid 4-star

Very boring...
I mean, some good scenes, fun... but...
Things happen too fast, and the context is not interesting
With the name "The Island", make us wonder if it's happening in somewhere else... the environment it happen is boring...
Doesn't make much sense, but, yeah... 3 is enough, I guess...
Art sometimes is ugly

This game has some good stuff, but the bad ones overshadow the good ones by a mile

The story isnt great, but its average for this kind of games, i dont blame the Dev for that

The renders would be good, if the Dev would listen to the community and other Devs that gave him feedback and would actually FIX THE LIGHTNING. Too many renders, important ones, like complete sex scenes, are almost completely black

And the other big problem, is that after a while into the game, the MC started to lose its MC status and the protagonism shifted towards some of the girls, with the MC just being an spectator

I gave the Dev enough time to fix this kind of stuff, but at this point, its a lost cause

Story is Meh, images and animation are poor, not enough lighting and iterations. Looks like it's dev's personal fantasy that has been put into CG. The only good thing is it's long and there's a fap in there so FAP and Delete.

good game. pretty character rendering.
But too much sex. Danger-problem solving process is need.
put a new background setting to avoid simplicity, but Excessively omitted, increased confusion.
It is improving, but the animations also seem to need to be improved
Nevertheless, if you proceed slowly, I think you will be fine again.

Don't bother if you came for story. Don't bother if you come for the incest. Don't bother if Lesbian content bothers you because 60% of the sex scenes are lesbian only scenes. It's not really about the MC it's about the women in the story. The animations are not good. The story doesn't take it self serious. Also if you don't like SHARING Don't bother.

I've been playing this here and there a bit and never really said much, it WAS an average first time production. worthy of like 2.5 stars. But as of update 3.1 it has improved a lot animations especially, they were pretty choppy and ugly but now they are actual animations. The characters Look really good as well unlike the cartoon looking versions some games have. The lighting in some scenes is kind of dark on my phone but on a screen for PC at home it is visible. The writing is okay not phenomenal but not terrible and the story is interesting. A lot of buildup however before getting what appears to be the main story, I have a hunch that there is a long way to go before this is finished.

This guy gets how awesome it is to see women in uncontrolled pleasure. Looking forward to updates! Not a huge fan of the constant g/g scenes but the others make up for it. For a first game, his posing and manipulation of characters is really quite fantastic.

Review for The Island v0.2.5:

Just saw this game for the first time and played it to the end of the v0.2.5 update.

Story: 3/5 - The story is a little strange and a little fantastical. It's neither compelling nor terrible. It's on par with what you'd want for a porn game when you don't care about the story, anyway.

Writing: 4/5 - The writing is good, thankfully, not a bunch of "Engrish" spelling and grammar.

Renders: 3/5 - The renders are OK, but they're kinda grainy/noisy and don't look like they're super high resolution. They would've been good... in 2016. Lighting is weird very often. Frequently, the model's faces appear distorted.

Animations: 1/5 - The animations are laughable. Most of them look like the movements you'd expect from putting latex skin on robots. The game would be better without animations than it is with the silly movement that passes for animations in this game. Seriously, the animations completely ruin many of the sex scenes.

Content 5/5: Wow, there's a ton of content. Way more than I expected. Not just renders and writing, but there are loads of lewd scenes. About half of lewd scenes are girl-girl (or girl-girl-girl, or girl-girl-girl-girl, etc.). It's not bad, but disappointing there so much content that doesn't involve the MC. Fair warning: There is already a group scene with multiple guys and girls and some of the events in the recent update are making it look like there's going to be a lot more of that in future updates.

Could have been 3/5, which I intended to give during playing this version but seeing the game repeats it mistakes everytime there is a update made me go lower since there are other problems with it and arnt outbalanced with the "good" stuff.

Dont get intimidated by the ratings. Even if my is low I would still suggest that you at least try this game for the first 15-20 min. If you liked what you saw you will like the rest. If not, well then you wont like what happend later.
Be warned tho.
The Prologe is very long and you may think this is a game about MC but in reality its not. The real story starts when you hit the island (hence the name) and there the fuckery will happen. Dev. already teased where it will be (sharing/gangbangs/orgies with other males included).

Right now the game is focused only on two things. MC banging random side chicks without any build up, and lesbian scenes ( like 60% of the sex are lesbians ones). So if you like these two and you like the models, you will at least enjoy something this.
And there some random "orgies" with random background guys in present and past + voyurism because author likes that according to the posts.

If you are looking for romance, story or logical human behaviour you will struggle with it, perhaps even exit the game before finishing the current update.
The other two big problems are the renders, which even after two years people giving the dev. easy tips how to improve them, he finally after all this time made them visible. However, after seeing the renders at the end made me think this is a lost case since finally the lighting is decent, the renders looks blurred/warped.
The other one is the bad english but hey, the "story" here is a nothing-burger so that the MC or the real MCs (the sisters) get their sex.
So its not necessary to know what happend or is happening. Perhaps this will be more important when the fuckery starts later on.

Version played: v0.2.4

I would like to start this review by inserting a meme from toy story which is - Sex, sex, sex everywhere. Like for real, right after a short introduction of who is who, you get thrown into lots of sexual scenes for both the sisters and the MC tho the MC (i feel) is not really the main character here but the twins.

The adult scenes consist of lots of yuri (girl on girl, the twins mostly with the other minor female characters) then followed by them with the MC . The renders itself are not bad and you get a decent amount of playtime even tho it is just up to v0.2 nw. It should be noted however the title can be a bit misleading because the first chapter of the game does not take place on an island, yet.

As for the story, it is not a great story but rather just a simple one. There are choices for the MC to decide what he wants from certain female characters and there is game over if you make a wrong choice lol.

There is also the issue with the lighting in some of the renders which I agree with some of the replies on the thread that it is too dark sometimes. You can barely make out what the dev want you to see in the renders at times.

Overall, it is a good one so far, lots of scenes to keep the player entertained. Play it if your taste is lots of girl on girl action but dun take the story too seriously.

This review is for V0.2.2 -
CONS-
Tried this game for the first time , have to say this game story started out bizarre in a yacht when it is titled The island and ended up with frustrating myself as nothing made sense in this game . Game has some weird looking female characters , Unlikable and idiotic MC with some poor writing . Long prologue with unnecessary drama and story where we don't know who the main character is - Is it you or your sisters ? Seems that they have more fun / action than you ( LOL ) in a male MC game . Had to pause my game and check F95 whether I downloaded a female protagonist game by mistake , turns out I didn't . Game / dev gives you 2 love interests ( your sisters ) by default and rest of the girls are free game , they can have casual sex with anyone ( male / female / you ) and they end your relationship for other girls in the middle of the game . And your love interests / sisters enjoy sex with other female without you being there for most of the game and you as a MC don't have problem with that . After prologue where your yacht gets destroyed in a disaster and you and your sisters end up washed in a nearby island at different locations along with rest of the crew , instead of searching MC has sex with other girls and your sisters have their own fun with other girls .
PROS -
Error 404 - I didn't find any pros , let me know if you find anything .
So if you are looking for lesbian sex or you are here for only sex scenes in general if you skip all the dialogues you may like it , if you came here for a male protagonist with nice story well you are not going to find any as it is a terrible disaster .

The Island [v0.2.2] review -
Starting with the only positive thing in this game is its renders which are good and the girls models are good . Writing in this game is atrocious . Other than that rest are negatives- there is no story , no romance just casual sex . And worst Main character in the history of games with no personality , he is just for sex in this game . Choices that have no impact on the game there are just to choose between girls who you are going to have sex . And the game is tagged male protagonist but it is more of multiple / female protagonist game and almost half or more than half of the content in the game is lesbian sex or sex without Main character and there is not a option to avoid or even skip those scenes . There is even rape by other male NPC in the story which is skipped not shown but it still happens and there are no choices for that or pretty much the whole game .
In the end this game is terrible with no story , no romance , only random sex with girls or between girls which after sometimes becomes boring and repetitive .

Frustrating game for me (actually more VN). There's a great scene, early on, where the twin sisters have just boarded and are playing around in their cabin, and the MC comes in and catches them. It's great, playful, sexy, teasing, funny. That scene alone makes this game worth it for me, but after that.. Well, for a game with so much sex, it's pretty dull.

The story is dominated by the one trope that I call "unearned harem." This is where the MC gets surrounded by eager, affectionate women, and there's nothing he's done to actually obtain this affection. I've suggested to another creator of another game that this is not good, and their response was, "well, that's the way I like it." You can't argue with that. If creators always made changes based on what their audiences wanted, then instead of a racehorse you'd get a camel.

Anyways, so you've this is really, really unlikable MC surrounded by women (some of who are, yes, quite ugly) and going on these sexual escapades with the most contrived tension. Like, during an orgy, the sisters are upset because the MC doesn't have sex with them. I'm not a fan of orgies; they're really hard to make erotic, wether in film, in books, or in VNs. It becomes like choreographing a marching band, and this is no exception. But anyways, that's the pacing of this VN, contrived sex scene, contrived tension, repeat.

But, there are two things that keep me coming back. First, the sisters. They are... delectable. There's something about their appearance I just love. They're unconventionally beautiful, with these very strong, chiselled faces, with roman noses and long, pointed chins, that suggests that, despite their youth, they have a mature sexual curiousity, and are just dying to be exposed to every possible depravity.

And the promise of that scene, early on, in their cabin, that suggested that had the creator taken a different path, and instead of flinging naked bodies at the wall to see if they'd stick, they'd chosen to focus on the MC and the sisters, telling the story of how he reluctantly, but unavoidably gets pulled into their sexual curiosity through a series of teasing hi-jinks and misunderstandings, this could have been really something.

Final note. Many scenes in this game are dark, too dark for my monitor. Others have made the same complaint. It's a criticism I've seen levied at other creators, too, and I find it interesting how resistant they can be to address it.

I couldn't get too far into this game. I ended up pulling the plug on this one after the big orgy scene after they get to the island. Not only are the renders unappealing, but the flow of the game is way too fast. What initially brought me to this game was the twins and your relationship with them. But they are ok with having an orgy right out the gate.

Good job until now ! I like it! The renders are pretty good and smooth. Never had a chance to play with twins in a game. The story is well written too... The girls are beautiful (especially the twins)... Hopefully no NTR in this one. Looking forward to the next update.

I found this game being a little straightforward from the start, foreshadowing things and with a lot of interactions in the early stage, which is usually a good thing, but in this case, for some reason i feel just bored.
For starters the 2 main girls are ugly, their proportions are broken and their designd, well, it is a matter os taste i guess. The thing is they are twins, and they are basically he same girl.
This girls both dress like a drunk hobo, and that makes the design issue worst because renders are average.

Storytelling is average, i got bored in 15 minutes. There is some exposition thrown at you, i guess trying to justify some bullshit, which is legit, but the result is poor.

Usually when a game has incest, i play it till the end. There are exceptions, and this happens to be one of them.
