Ren'Py - The Judas Ghost [Chapter 1 Part 1][v1.1.11] [Heart of the Keyforge]

I'm digging this one. It's a funny corruption story with some serious heart to heart moments.

It's certainly still a porn game story with a supernatural story about a haunted house. I don't think it will go deep into this, but who knows?

The characters all fit their archetype and role, with some extra bits of humanity. It's a nice touch.

The naughty scenes have great pacing, and as of now, don't reveal too much. That being said, as they are now, I am sensing some great scenes to come (heh).

I personally like all the models too.

I am only rating this a 4 out of 5 so that you'll actually read this review. I know how it works!

There's tits and all but it's not the focus. I'm not sure we've seen any pussies yet. If that's what you need there's other games for sure.

Okay, so the story? At first I thought - here's a game by an overly intellectual masculine douchebro. From the dialogs, anyway - the images are fine, whatever. I gave it a chance. Not much sex so far but slow burn's okay. I like stories. But from the first scenes I almost gave it up.

But it gets better. The MC dialog with the girls once things pick up surprised me with a combination of horndog and empathy. So that's pretty good.

And then the main character and one of the 'girls' (you'll see!) are talking about books they like, and she says she used to read Frankenstein: "The monster was Victor. He brought life into the world, and then discarded it like trash. He was such a vile man."

The person creating this game - you have my attention. My appreciation. This game is one of my favorites so far on this site, and I only give it a 4 out of 5 because, c'mon. We never read the perfect-score-bot-reviews, right?

V1.1.10

Pros:
Good, fairly unique ui design.
Girls are sexy and aren’t stock Daz models.
Excellent character development. If a girl seems like a trope, you haven’t learned enough about her.
Dialogue is well written and humorous, at least to me.
Freeroam is well done. It doesn’t feel needlessly grindy and I generally hate sandboxes.
Map and journal give clear indicators of what to do next.

Neutral
Sandbox/freeroam, even though well done. Honestly, even if you dislike freeroam, this is more than bearable. And there’s cheats if you want to eliminate any sort of grind.

As an fyi, there is religious criticism. It perfectly fits the story and isn’t disrespectful in my opinion, but some zealots might get upset over some of the religious arguments–not sure why’d they’d even be playing but I’m sure there’ll be some out there.

Cons
It’s a fairly slow burn so far for those not willing to move at that pace. I think it’s also laid most of the foundation now, so I’d think the fun times will start ramping up.


Overall somewhat slow burn but I really enjoyed the story, dialogue, humor, and character building. I’d give this a 4.5.

I love the concept and premise of this game! Just excellent so far and I am one to rarely rate games! Love the humour and dialogues (which stops me from skipping them), the Ghost girl (main love interest) is fucking hot and the side characters are also quite attractive. The whole setting is very creative and I am eager to see what the future will bring.

Short summary:


This game has some good things going for it and some bad. There is potential, and it’s well-made, but for now I'm put off by the character models



Good Things

• The story is unusual and not bad
• Writing seems good
• Interesting playful ghost character
• Well implemented free-roam, with easy navigation

Bad points

• Models, with few exceptions, are bad
• Renders are just not great
• Some characters are over the top
• Expressions are inconsistent, pretty bad on the ghost

Great writing, storyline is quite original for a change.
Characters are distinct from one to the other, with distinct design and personality traits...
Waiting for more content, hoping the game will be updated soon <3

An excellent start. All the characters at interesting and have heart. The writing and dialog are interesting certainly brings each character to life. Has the feel of a point and click adventure with just a little bit of RPG stat leveling sprinkled in. Eagerly waiting to see how this developes.

Great first Ep.
normal paced introduction to the characters.
funny story in a Lockheart way
he is improving his art per chapter/game, so that is always a plus.
no one-dimention characters.
and not just empty humor but also good dialogue, not just content to pass the time.
looking forward to more content and wish the Dev the best of luck

This game has a fantastic story along with supernatural elements that are quite hot. The girls and renders are beautiful, cannot wait for what comes next in this game as the start is significant not some typical cash grab bullshit

Cute girls, interesting story and a very playful ghost. Loved it, it made me laugh. The story is easy to follow and the menu easy to use. It was very engaging with lots of mystery. The girls are attractive and not what they pretend to be. Even the old nun is ready to change the way she is.
