VN - Ren'Py - The Mystery Villa [Ep.8] [Dx Games]

Yes, this is a game that is the definition of 1-star in my book.

This will also be my shortest ever review, because honestly I can't stomach to waste more time on this "VN". So consider this more a "stay away from this garbage - you've been warned".


I'm having a really hard time understanding the 5-stars given to this VN. And at least one of them seems very, VERY suspicious, almost as if it's the dev himself on an alt account. Trust me, there's not a SINGLE thing in this VN that is even close to 5 star.
Models? Nope.
Story? haha..oh no
Animations? hell no

First of all, the writing is extremely bad. It's obvious that this isn't written by someone having english as their native language. Which is fine, not everyone is great at english.
But it's not the copious amount of typos (there's LOT of them) but the grammar overall is just horrible. So you have tons of typos, AND bad grammar all over the place.

I fail to see how even NTR-lovers could appreciate this game.

For those that are not so keen on NTR, there's a literal text on the main post saying that NTR is avoidable (after ch3). This is definitely not true.
I did read thru the previous review real quick, and I guess I can kinda agree, maybe it's not "NTR" if you want to be extremely picky what NTR means.
As mentioned in the other review, you will be FORCED as a player to watch at some point, every single woman/girl being f-cked by someone else other than you. And sure, some of them you are not in a "romantic" relationship with.
But you have banged them, so as a player you would expect that they'll be "yours", especially since "ntr is avoidable". Well you're outta luck, because EVERY woman will have someone elses dick in them no matter WHAT you as a player say or want.
You'll get to watch your mom being banged by your brother. Your aunt being banged by your brother. Your cousin too. You'll get to see your mom being banged by your best friend, in the same room as HIS mom is being banged by your brother.
And this is *after* you've picked EVERY "no I dont want any effing NTR choice" there is.

So no, NTR is NOT avoidable.
You get a few options to 'interfere' (or interrupt?) instead of watching like a voyeur/cuck. But all that does is stop THAT scene from happening, the woman will be banged by someone later anyway.

So, if you dislike NTR, run away from this game.
If you LOVE NTR, this game is still ..probably, not gonna cut it for you. The writing is so bad, the models are so badly made when it comes to proportions. You feel *nothing* for the characters.
You feel *nothing* for anyone in this game, because there's no real buildup, there's no "let's get to REALLY know this and that character".
It's all so VERY shallow.

Shallow, with terrible writing, horrible grammar, tons of typos. Zero personality on 99% of the characters.
What about the lewd scenes? Those are also more annoying than "arousing". I've never experienced a game that pisses me off so much during ALL it's lewd scenes and this one.
Almost no actual dialogue or anything during the banging, and almost EVERY scene/angle requires you to constantly hit "Continue" to move on. Instead of just letting it flow, or just let us click once to move the scene forward. Nope, here you literally have to click "continue" just for the game to perhaps show a different angle, or wrap up this boring lewd scene.

Extremely boring VN. No charm. No hottness. The writing would even make AI feel emberrased. It's extremely bad, across the board.

Whether you love or hate NTR - just dont bother with this one. This is literally one of the worst VN's I've ever played - and I have way more than a thousand VNs under my belt.

Or do whatever you want, I'm not your dad lol. But I can't see how anyone could enjoy this. Even if you just skip thru it for the lewd stuff, you are still forced to click the fucking "Continue" button every effing render in a lewd scene.
Poorly written, poorly made. Terrible grammar. Zero personality on anyone. You dont give a fudge about anyone because they are just names and silly big boobs.

There's SO many better VNs out there, no matter what your 'kink' is. This one will definitely NOT fill any of your 'needs'. You'll end up annoyed and frustrated.

It's funny in a sad way, on the first post, it tells you NTR is avoidable from Chapter 3 and "above" (what's above? AFTER?) Which is bullshit. Then in the "Important" spoiler it says ""If you don't like NTR or how the game is going, just ignore it and move on"" . So which is it, avoidable or not? Can't say "if u dont like ntr, gtfo" and above it say its avoidable. If people are gonna lie, at least make it believable. These two lines, literally after each other in OP, contradict itself a bit.

Well I have suffered thru this game so you dont have to, and I can tell you that you will have FORCED NTR thrown at you. The dev, or whoever wrote its avoidable, is just as bad liar as he's at writing.

Yikes...what a terrible VN, in every single aspect.

Do yourself a favor, avoid this like the plague. You'l lthank me later, as I just saved you both time and headache.
Time - because you would waste it on this turd
Headache - because your head will hurt trying to read and understand this slop of 'text' the game throws at you.
No particular story. Terrible grammar and spelling.Boring AF characters. Forced NTR (even if you like NTR, this game will NOT fill ANY of your needs) - and apparently a contradicting/lying dev (if HE's the one behind the contradicting info on the OP)

This is pure garbage. First and only VN that literally pisses me off just by thinking about it.

[Ep.8]

• ESL: very apparent, translation is incorrect with horribly put together sentences, typos and improper grammar. It's really bad, like incomprehensible-tier bad, some MTL is better than this.
• "NTR is avoidable from Ep. 3" is a lie, as women you had sex with still fuck the others, but I guess it's not really netorare in a proper definition of the term as MC is not in romantic relationships with them. But he's hardcore voyeur (a bit later the dev gives you an option to either remain a voyeur or interfere). One night he witnessed his brother and mom having sex and the first thing that comes to his mind is installing spy-cameras across the house. Like what? Which he bought in a convenience store. Wasn't there an electronics store asset? Whatever. Later mom fucks his brother again and also family servant. Both relationships are explained as blackmail, but in totally crude and unconvincing fashion. MC catches his friend's mom having sex with her neighbour whom she has been dating for 3 months. Now she feels guilty and agrees to fuck MC instead. Why? Nevermind, in several days she fuck the neighbour again. Why did she stop in the first place? Later MC sees his sister and aunt fucking through camera feed (why? since when? who knows), so he barges in, joins, fucks them both, refuses to elaborate and leaves. The aunt character just fucks everyone in her vicinity. It turned out that the friend is a cuck and wants to watch you with his mother, but then suddenly goes ahead and fucks your mother instead ... IDK man this story and characters are a confusing mess.
• Sex scenes have almost no dialogue nor context. A lot of them happen under awkward porn logic excuses. Every animation, pose and camera angle are separated by "Continue" button or terrible transition. Also awful jiggle physics.
• The images are low-res and are blurry. Female models are as basic as they get: the only difference between them is the haircut and boob slider. 40 y/o and 20 y/o women look the same.
• Infinity Q60 advertisement?

This literally hurt my brain. The plot/story breaks even porn logic boundaries. The “engrish” is one of the worst I’ve seen. This is maybe NTR but there is no corruption here. The mom is a whore from the beginning. You’re mainly a voyeur but can have sloppy 2nds or 3rds after the brother and black security guard easily with any of the fuckfest family and girls. Like they fall on your cock easily. The only positive I’d give this is if you want to watch a train wreck and you're a big voyeur fan and you can tolerate terrible translation, you might enjoy this. Renders and animations are average at best. To fix this, there would have to be a total rewrite of the story and they’d need someone to help with the translation.

giving it 5* because the character models look hot, story is progressing in a good enough pace that its not boring, but not a fukfest yet.
sure there are other games much better than this, but it deserves the 5* for the game it is trying to be and also im a sucker who loves to push newer games to higher places...
i enjoy the things happening and that there is still some netorare happening even after chapter 3. the netorare is luckily not so hardcore that you feel any betrayal or pain seeing "your" girls getting fuked. its actually just netorare in name, but its really mild mild.
as many reviewers already mentioned the story is def not the strong point of this game, but its a good one for entertainment and entertained i got..
so many girls were introduced that i got worried that they wont get their turns, but the scenes are held fairy short which allows more shorter scenes instead of only 1-2 longer hotter lewd scenes. i think this is also a cool approach.
so yea if you want to suffer with ntr you should def look for another game, but if you want quick entertainment, this game here will be nice.
even the sounds are fitting.

the ending of ep 5 was hot, because... blackmailing lol.
i like the milfs the best (as per usual) and want to see more of them.

so i will def follow this game.

So here's the thing, the writing and story of this game are shit. Things play out nonsensically (Ex: I chose to not interfere with Emma but a few scenes later we are fucking like we've always known and loved eachother) and I'm not really invested in any of the characters buuuuuuut....

The scenes in this game are pretty hot, specifically if you like NTR and vouyer. The girls look good, the angles are hot, the animations are good, and there's sound. The only thing holding the sex scenes back is that there is not enough dirty talk or dialogue in general during these scenes.

If you're looking for well-written NTR or vanilla in general, don't bother. If you like hot voyeur sex scenes with milfs nothing should be stopping you from giving this game a shot.

this game is good and has potential the fact that it has other males characters that can threaten the MC's ability to just have a harem actually makes it better there is no chance that the women in the MC's life never had a relationship before him plus we have he ability to choose how the story progress.
the character design is good i like the modals hopefully this game get to grow.
all in all i like this kind of games it has something for everyone .

Well I was playing and I really liked the characters, the story could be improved. It would be nice to see more of the sister and have more routes to the game, I think this game can improve a lot more, it has a lot of errors in the routes. Another important point that I don't like is that the creator waits for a full update to release the previous one, which is not worth it if you are a free or low-level member. In the next updates I will try it and if the game improves I will change to a better rating.

[Ep. 4]

No, the issue isn't about NTR or harem. The writing is just terrible regardless of kinks. The entire thing is basically an excuse to show some animations. I mean, the models and animations are nice if you like HS2 style, but there is no eroticism. No build up. No rhyme or reason to the things that are happening.

I wake up.
I go downstairs.
I see mother.
She is making coffee.
I go out.
I work out.
I swim.
I go back inside the house.
I see Julia and Mother.
They are watching TV.
I join them.
I go to my room.
I sleep.
Julia comes in my room.
We fuck.
*Show some animation of them fucking with no dialogues.*
I go to Alex's house.
I see his mom.
etc etc.

This is literally how the whole thing is written. It's just awful. There are the occasional stilted dialogues, but for the most part, the example above is what you will be reading, lol.

Ok, the description is bullshit. I remember this game was supposed to be a harem, but it's obvious with the newest update it was all just a trap and a lie, who had it thought? Basically, it's a NTR game first where your bro fucks your mom and sis, and you can't stop that until chapter 3. That's it. Kinda pointless imo if you can't give the player the option to stop it earlier as the game gives you some choices but they're all pointless, everything will play out if you didn't pick anything. But what pissed me off is despite having it “avoidable” in this update, it still isnt it since even the sis still fuck others.

There's like legit no plot man. It's all about the brother or the token black guy tapping all the girls you dig before you get a chance or even after. And the "reasons" for these girls falling for him are just weak as you keep playing. The only difference is, after you catch 'em in the act for, like, the 10th time, you can finally step in... and then magically they're all head over heels for you! No kidding bro. No revenge, no beatdown, no face-off with the girl, only a small “talk” (once again I'm not kidding here) with the token black dude or even the brother and everything is fine…. It's like the devs wanted to do some NTR stuff but had no clue how to make it believable once the MC grows some balls and goes for the "non-NTR" path.

The MC is just an empty vessel. Imagine like a empty cup and you add all the good and bad stuff about a character, and it's just... it's not about the MC anymore, it's about all the different people who are fucking their sons or cheating on their spouses. That's it. Kinda pointless imo if you can't give the player the option to stop it earlier as the game gives you some choices but they're all pointless, everything will play out as if you didn't pick anything.

Yeah, the visuals are kinda lacking too.. The female models don't really look like they're supposed to, and the scenery is just... it's not that great, to be honest. The MC is the basic HS2 male model, which is kinda boring, but at least they gave you some choices for the sex scenes. You can switch around the positions, but it's still the same basic stuff over and over. And the story... man, it's just all over the place. There's like, no real plot, just some guy tapping all the girls you dig before you get a chance, and then suddenly they're all in love with you for no reason. It's kinda hard to believe, to be honest. But at least it's not as bad as some of the other NTR games out there.

After playing through both paths, it's just not worth it at all. I had higher hopes for the sex scenes, thinking that at least they would be good regardless of who was involved. But man, that high jingling effect they used just made everything look ugly and the overuse of the "sweat" with "steam" effect combined with the dark shader made it really unpleasant to watch. It's like they were going for a certain aesthetic, but it ended up being just depressing and unappealing. I guess there are some people out there who might be into that, but for me, it was a major turn-off.

If you're looking for an NTR game and you really like the models, then maybe this game is worth checking out. But you have to go in knowing that the characters are empty vessels and don't expect anything groundbreaking story-wise. The focus of the game is obviously on the NTR path and that's where the majority of the content is. So if that's what you're looking for and you don't mind the lack of depth in the plot and characters, then maybe give it a try.

I would not suggest this game for "Harem", revenge or anything in that aspect. Even if you think that you can stop after chapter 3, the game continues to push more NTR scenes your way. Additionally, the girls' characters become even more flat as they suddenly and unrealistically switch their affections towards you and engage in sexual activities out of the blue. It's worth noting that almost all of the girls will have been involved with other characters before, so be prepared for that. Overall, this game has far less content and depth.

This was such a refreshing breath of fresh air to typical wincest games. I love the fact that there are other active males in the game, and the MC has to work his way up and compete with others to find an opportunity with the girls.
This is not an NTR game as the characters/LIs are having an active sex life and there's a choice to begin something with them or not. No one is in an exclusive relationship and it sort of mirrors reality. The plot needs a little fleshing out though, but the voyeurism parts were pretty hot.
And the dad's actually ALIVE (although he is there only for a couple of scenes. Would be nice if he has scene or two in the future)!!! This fact by itself is so rare in such games.
Looking forward to how this game will unfold. All the best dev! Keep rocking and keep growing!

Honestly terrible,
You either make it avoidable from the start or not bother with it. It's utterly useless if NTR is not avoidable in the beginning but is later on. Just terrible game design. Also MC being dickless and being called Dylan regardless was great

I like ntr and harem, and he is pulling off both well. I like that he is kicking out all competition. On the other side, he is setting up little treats for either side depending where you go.Congrats to you dude.

The game's beginning shows great promise, but a definitive review would naturally necessitate additional updates and content. It's noteworthy for its innovative approach to the conventional house harem genre, injecting a refreshing and original perspective into the gaming experience, which is a positive development for enthusiasts of this type of game.

While the core concept and gameplay are intriguing, there is room for enhancement in the visual department. The graphics could benefit from further refinement and polish. It's optimistic that as the game evolves, the developer will continue to enhance the visual aspects, making it even more appealing to players who value aesthetics in their gaming experience.

a very interesting start, can't say for the rest, but the mix of genre is very interesting, we will need more updates for a definitive review of course.

It gives a fresh new approach on the rather basic and standard house harem kind of games, and this is a good news indeed.
the graphics still need some work done, i hope the dev will get better in time.

For me it was good but there at-least should be some choices and it was basically like kinetic novel . About the name it is better to correct your mistake. And it was barely pass because watching the brother screw the mom and the dialogue too.

It's good to be kind but even at an early stage this doesn't have much going for it, unless watching your brother screw your mom floats your boat. The choice to name the MC is irrelevant because everyone calls you Dylan anyway, the men resemble plastic dolls as much as the women - not least in a Subbuteo-style football match - and the dialogue is robotic. Everyone talks to everyone else like they've just landed. Hard pass.
