VN - Ren'Py - The Missing Part [Ch.3] [jPk vns]

Writing: 9/10 (This is the highest rating that I've ever given to an AVN's writing)
Imagery: 8.5/10
Kinks: The story is compelling enough for me to ignore whether there's kinks or not
Overall: 9.2/10

First off, the writing. The prologue is chef's kiss, depressing but fantastic. Writing is the dev's strength, not a lot of devs are able to write a good story/plot, so we gotta be thankful that we finally found one that knocks it out of the park. There's already so many contents for just 3 chapters. I like how all the 3 main girls' stories were tied into the prologue and the later chapters. One can clearly see that the author/dev has a clear idea of how their story's going to develop. The reason why I'm impressed is because most devs don't have a clear idea of how their story is going to develop, they just make things up as they go, but this one is different, one can tell. Anyway, regarding the animation, it is great, it is smooth, nothing much to nitpick there. Even the spelling as well, little to no grammatical mistakes or spelling errors or typos. This is actually a first to me because I usually can find a lot (too many to count) of mistakes/errors in other AVNs, but I can only find a few in this one (less than ten).

In a nutshell, the story and renders are done with finesse. Great choices in music selection as well. Definitely one of my top 5 fav games currently. Voted this for the Xmas Contest 2025 and was glad to see it took the top spot, a well deserved win. Kudos to the dev, will continue to support them in future works/projects/endeavours.

This has no right to be this good, i don't understand how i've not heard of it way before, this avn just stratospher'd itself into my top one (and i'm not new to avn, i've some real good one in there), the writing, visuals, pace we can feel how much attention and care you put into it, easily a 5 stars and i'm not even sure i only compare it in term of my standards of Avn.


Only "critic" i have if it's even one considering the medium, is the "sex scene", i would have prefered some light erotica, the porn vibe feels a little out a place even if i liked the one with , apart from that it was perfect for me, if you are into really emotional stuff and god-tier story telling this one is for you, also for a chapter 3 the amount of content is absolutely enormous.

I'm really looking forward to see what you will cook for us, i know it won't disappoint.

ps: the "halley's comet" instrumentale when hailey's coming in the office, loved that (don't know if that was intentionnal).

(french guy here, so sorry for the potential misspelling etc)

The Missing Part is a f*cking masterpiece. One of the best VN, if not the best, I've ever played. A thoroughly mature, serious story that will leave no one indifferent. I understand it's not for everyone; someone prefer simple, light, funny stories, but you at least try it! It's a completely different emotional level.

The Missing Part is one of those visual novels that quietly sneaks up on you. It's very emotional (that prologue...), beautifully written, and surprisingly grounded for an adult game. The story deals with loss and healing, giving real weight to the choices you make. The characters feel genuine, the atmosphere is melancholic but comforting, and the art fits the tone perfectly. It's not flashy, but it's heartfelt.

Definitely worth a play if you like deep, character-driven stories.

Definitly one of my favourite games I've played so far and I don't say that lightly. At heart it's a deeply emotional story but i found it to be much more than that, it's a story about starting over and learning how to move on without forgetting. I'm writing this review in Chapter 3 and I can't wait for more. Also I love the Autoplay-Animations and the generell Scene Animations. Great Game, Great Renders, Beautiful Characters.. Couldn't wish for more

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks the pacing of the game is way too fast. While the prologue had its sad moments, especially with the , I believe it was introduced poorly.

MORE SPOILERS AHEAD!

There are two main points I'd like to address:

1. The situation with Ella in the prologue feels rushed and unrealistic. The sequence involving the police, the canceled date, and the tension of "you owe me" should be completely reworked.

It would have made more sense for the main character (MC) to express his doubts about the date with the preppy girl a bit more internally. When Ella crashes into him, it would be better if he OFFERED to buy her a new skateboard (and sent a text to cancel the date). This way, the MC takes initiative, and the interaction wouldn’t feel as forced or sudden.

By adjusting the introduction, the narrative of Ella as a struggling orphan without friends and the scene of her crying and running off at the end would hit much harder. Right now, Ella’s character introduction—where SHE crashes into the MC and demands he buy her a new skateboard while threatening to call the cops—comes off as harsh and unrealistic.

A more impactful approach would be: Ella crashes into the MC and apologizes. Instead of her demands, he offers to buy her a skateboard while canceling his date with the girl he doesn’t like. This would establish a stronger connection between them and make her background as an orphan hit for me. Including a collage of important moments they shared leading up to the moment they're standing over the baby carrier would really amplify the emotional weight.

Currently, it feels one-dimensional and hard to believe.

1. The love interests (LIs) can come across as very disrespectful. For instance, Lisa comments on the MC's appearance, saying he looks like a bum, which is out of line given that she's supposed to be helping people in need. That attitude makes her seem like a snobby bitch.

The nurse calls the MC an idiot based on a false assumption about littering, but when she realizes she was mistaken, there’s no apology. A simple acknowledgment like, “I’m so sorry for calling you an idiot! Let me show you around sometime to make up for it” would create a more personable interaction.

Hailey's behavior also felt unprofessional, she could've been WAY nicer about escorting the MC out the building.

On a positive note, Benjamin stands out as the best-looking black character I've seen in a visual novel, and overall, the character designs are appealing, despite their personalities.

I just think the prologue and love interests would benefit from more depth and character development. Not every first interaction needs to come at the MC's expense. The idea is solid, but the execution could use significant improvement imo.

This excellent game starts as an extreme drama porn to lay the plot but after that it prevails. A true adult novel implementing lewd content with eroticism. 3 different LIs with different backgrounds, personalities and physical apperances. For now no branching besides LI content, story is a bit over the top but it stays consistent and pacing is not that boring with occasional twists. Deserves a following.

This is an okay AVN. Not close to Leap of Faith level stuff in regards to emotional connection because the dialogue is not natural. Conversations are not normal from an English speaking view and therefore I always felt unconnected from the characters. Only two LIs interested me (roomates), but even their stories were a little weak. Animations are pretty good. The first 3 chapters did not hook me enough to warrant a return.

Just wow...

This game deserves so much more recognition.

+ Engaging prologue that really connects you to our MC and further throughout the story. It makes you really wanna root for him.

+ Really strong writing

+ Lovable characters that are also aesthetically pleasing towards the eye

+ Absolutely beautiful music

If you're looking for an actual engaging story then you need to play this game. I wont lie, this game hit me in the feels and I can definitely see how it could make a grown man cry.

I really do look forward to continuing to see where this journey goes and wish all the best of luck towards the developer and hope to see it through til the end. <3

Look, The Missing Part is one of those rare AVNs that actually guts you. I’m talking full-on onion-cutting ninjas in the room. The writing? Damn, it’s raw, honest, and hits way harder than most of these games have any right to. You’re not just clicking through smut—you’re feeling this guy’s grief, his choices, his slow crawl toward something like hope. And yeah, it’s made by one dev pouring their soul into it. You can tell.


The soundtrack’s perfect, especially that main menu track; sets the whole mood. Choices actually matter, paths branch, and there’s a built-in walkthrough if you’re not into guessing. Replays feel worth it.


It’s not a porn-first game. The adult stuff shows up later, and it’s tender, not over-the-top. If you want nonstop banging, this ain’t it. But if you’re tired of shallow harem trash and want a story that means something… yeah, this one’s special.


Underrated gem. Play it. Just have tissues ready.

I'd like to congratulate the dev for making this beautiful game. You have a cheering fan rooting for your success.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this game is so good that I had to. It just grabs by the heart and never lets go, especially if you are a parent yourself. Incredible job and easily one of the best already. I personally see a game that will rival or surpass Leap of Faith.

Top tier story. You know the story is good when you don't even need porn but you're just so invested in the character and political drama in the story, reading from the edge of your seat as it unfolds, and then when the not-out-of-place and very natural smut does come along... HECK, THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE. Just play it, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Just finished Chapter 2 and I'm confident to say that this is gonna be on par with Leap of Faith. Came here just to pump up the ratings since I've felt the need to support it. I got no more words to say but just play it.

Am I Missing Part of this story that every 5 star reviewer here is seeing?

Disclaimer: played 500+ AVNs, mostly story-focused so take that into consideration as my palette might be more picky that average person (not better per se, just more refined over years).

Pros:

1. Renders and music decent.
2. Animations are good.
3. That's it?

Cons:

1. Long drawn sentences. I don't mind reading I fcking read VNs like a mfker. I know what feeling hooked into reading feels like and this isn't it unfortunately. I wanted to love this but it's missing a hook or something.
2. The prologue or exposition is too fast but even when things are stable, they are just overloaded with sentences. MC isn't creepy per se but I just didn't want to keep reading and neither did I find things any interesting.
3. I like slice of life but somehow this doesn't separate itself from hundreds other that I have read so no motivation to keep going.

Verdict: I personally won't be picking it up again just cuz I didn't get hooked into anything even after finishing the entire release. You may like it, who knows, but I just don't know what I'm missing that all these 5 stars are going for.

Excellent story so far. The prologue hit me really hard, and everything after so far maintained a real quality to it. The story seemed to skip out on the unnecessary drama and really focus on the characters and their stories. Highly recommend.

I played many games here, and never bothered to share my opinion on any.
I played when CH2 was released, now I came back for CH3. And I can truly say that this story, characters makes the best experience I can think of.
Thank you very much for this game.

Absolute masterpiece, was not at all expecting it. One of the few games to read every single line. Came out of the blue but cannot wait for more chapters now. Would and should be a play for anyone who enjoys deep stories in AVN's

The story is really amazing. It's been a while that avn makes me tear up, everytime the mc got flashback it just hit me and makes me tear up. And i hope in the future Madelyn(tracy) became a Love Interest. Idk if other people think it's weird, but for me she's would be interesting and had so much potential if became a LI.

A beautiful story with a painful but important message, learning how to deal with loss and find new meaning in your life.

Renders are very high quality with a soundtrack that greatly compliments the scenes and the tone of the story being told.

So far, I am only interested in Lisa as far as the LI's are concerned (even added her to my signature!) but I hope that I will come to appreciate the other girls in future updates.

As I have focused on Lisa the game has felt light on adult content, however, I'm sure that will change in future updates.

Love the game and keep up the good work jPk!

wow, the story starts off really sad and down but it gets better as the MC progresses through his pain. Very well written story and dialogue. I can feel MC's love for his family. The music also matches every situation of the story.
