Ren'Py - The Null Hypothesis [v0.8b1] [Ron Chon]

*As of V0.3a
Pros:

• Great animated 2D art, which is a pretty rare find outside Japanese games iMO
• Not much story yet, but the characters are written pretty well, and they do feel pretty alive, which helps cut the grindiness that some players have an issue with
• Sex minigame is decent imo, reminds me of the 2000-2015 Japanese trainer games.
• Enough mechanics and flavor to not feel like a copy paste VN
• Some people say it gets laggy, but I've reached the end of the content for this version, and never got any while running on a M1 macbook air.

Cons:

• Quite a few bugs as of this version, at least in the Mac download, but nothing game breaking.
• Can get repetitive, especially since the story isn't far along yet.
• Can be grindy to some players, but not as bad as many Twine games
• Some optional goals/events are hard to trigger.
• Can use more body movements, especially in standing art and facial expressions (makeout and orgasm reaction, etc)

Additional Notes
The game has great potential, and hopefully production runs well, since that is a bane of many of these games, and please don't resort to AI art...

This is to me the peak of what Adult Games can be. It blends the story of a typical Visual Novel with more interactive features, its characterisation of fan favourites from its chosen franchise work perfectly and the art is beautiful. One of the few games I've played that truly feels like a passion project.

A skip button would be nice and obviously the content is far from complete (albeit plentiful in its current state) but it's the only true 10/10 I've ever found on this site. Amazing job guys I can't wait to see more.

Longtime lurker, I've seen games come and go. I've seen the memes, the shitty games, the god tier ones too. I've seen devs do nothing and soak in money, I've seen them working their asses off to get updates regularly. I always figured didn't really need to put in much input because someone else does it for me.

This game changed that.

Every character if fun and with the new update we get to see more of them besides the normal dates and few lines of repeating dialogue. Each one of them actually feels different which was always one of my few complaints about rouge like.

Also the MC actually feels like a person instead of just a blank slate to insert yourself in, adding with the archetype feature I feel like I can actually immersive myself into this version of the x-men.

I'm extremely looking forward to the potential of going on missions and learning more about Null's powers and seeing where the plot goes. Farouk being a major antagonist makes me wonder how Storm will come into play.

The artstyle itself is some of the best 2D art I've seen on the site, like ever. Like the artist makes each girl feel different. Like I don't see a single different sameface.

The only complaint I can think off is the sex minigame can be a bit tedious but its not even the worst one I've seen on the site.

I want this game to be big, it deserves every bit of praise it gets.

This game is gonna be up there with some of the all time greats or I will eat my entire x-men collection mark my words.

The game's nice for an easy-going dating simulator. Mechanics-wise there isn't many sophisticated layers, in fact now come to think of it its kinda a bit simple. But the story setting and character interaction just barely compensates the downsides, along with great visuals, made it a pretty relaxing game to play. Would love to see more diversity in daily mundane tasks, and increased interactions between the girls. Strong foundation, now just gotta build on top of it.

This is a remarkably high quality game. The art is excellent, the storyline and character development are surprisingly deep, and the sex scenes are interactive, bringing a level of realism that is often lacking. The women will respond to your relationship level, so if you try to do something more than they aren't "ready" for then they will deny you... until you convince them

I am quite pleasantly surprised to be honest. I had very low expectations, but I was proven wrong. I will definitely be following this game.

My only wish would be to see the girls from more angles, and to allow the same progression system to continue for things like threesomes, new love interests, etc.

Also, the trust stat grind is a bit much.

This game is excellent. I expected the visuals to be better than Oni's game, but I did not expect the story to be better... Especially when I saw the story was written by the not-so-illustrious "Buttholder". But the story *is* better. Good job guys - keep it up.

THe game has a nice story telling, the interface is streamliend and clean and the drawings of the characters are of high quality. It does not reinvent the wheel but so far quite solid. I hope they continue it

Review For The Null Hypothesis (v0.2b)
I can't stress enough how incredible this game is! Even though I've played everything the current version has to offer, I still can't get enough. The developers' passion for the x-men universe shines through in every aspect of the game, from the amazing comic book vibes to the captivating storytelling.

Right now, there are only three romance options, and I have a feeling Storm will be the final female option. But who knows, maybe there will be more in the future? Despite having just three love interests, the developers have done an outstanding job integrating them into the story and making them blend seamlessly with the main character.

It's been a while since I've read any x-men comics or watched the movies, but this game truly immerses you in the x-men universe. Laura is hands down my favorite character, and I appreciate the attention she receives in this game.

The dating system is almost perfect with a few things that can get improved on, and the user interface is easy to navigate. Building friendships with the girls and progressing your relationship by hanging out, training, and studying together is a major part of the game, and it never gets dull. As the main character discovers more about his overpowered powers, he becomes stronger, and the girls are always there to support him which is something I really liked.

The game is still in its early stages, and the story is far from over, and I'm eagerly anticipating more exciting developments. Currently, most of the game revolves around spending time with the girls and deepening your relationship with them. Once you meet certain requirements with all the girls, you progress through the story, which includes thrilling sections where the main character uncovers something new about his powers and confronts some badass marvel villains. (The "I'm the Juggernaut" moment had me in stitches, as it reminded me of the original video. I'm grateful that the developers included that joke.)

Now onto the best part of the game that I absolutely loved - the interactive sexual scenes. To be honest, I believe other games should take notes from this game because the freedom to explore various choices and ways to have a good time with the characters was fantastic. What made it even better was the fact that you couldn't just jump into bed with them automatically. You had to establish a genuine connection, earn their love and trust, and then unlock new actions which made the experience truly feel rewarding.

The game's progression wasn't too tedious either, and depending on the time you invest in this game, you could complete everything in just 1-3 days.

Considering everything I've mentioned, I genuinely hope this game doesn't get abandoned because it holds immense potential. Honestly, it's one of the finest Marvel parody adult games I've ever experienced. So, if you haven't given it a try yet, what are you waiting for?

Making a game with good immersion needs both optimum level of coding and artitistics. It's like putting ingredients and flavour in jambalaya, too little or too much spoils the whole dish, they have to be in balance. Devs have hit to a sweet spot and create great ladies with seductive essence and somehow refreshing flow that kept this old wanker playing. This is fun and horny.

Great art, great game. I haven't liked a game sinci this one for a l,ong time. Hopefully, this game wont be abndoned like many.

If you are wondering should you play this gmae, the answer is yes.

Biggest gripe with the game is how messy and clunky the phone is. I also for the life of me do not know how to hcek the amount of money I have.

wanna let the devs know that this game is amazing and i'm hooked- spent the whole day on this. no regrets. this is amazing and i spent the whole night tring to get down on x-23. the art is amazing and the writing is really good.
please let more kinks in in the next versions!
all the best

In conclusion, "The Null Hypothesis" presents an intriguing concept, blending sandbox exploration with narrative depth in the X-Men universe. With its engaging characters, visually appealing design, and potential for a rich storytelling experience, the game has the opportunity to captivate fans of both the X-Men franchise and open-world gaming.

Honestly one of the most refreshing and exciting up and coming games out right now. The art is fantastic, and the writing is enjoyable enough for the game. I like how to story is progressing and appreciate the work on so far.
Really excited to see this go somewhere.

This is a very fullfilling game for a version 0.2.
Everything from the UI to the backgrounds feels incredibly smooth. Girls are amazing both in character and appearance. Writing left me wanting more. Dev team made an incredible job overall and they are very active at discord server too. I really do hope they get the support they deserve.

Honestly just a fun game, it's similar to the other X-men game but the art/gameplay are better, and this one has an actual story. Need more X-23 content to be fully satisfied. This game also did the impossible, make me like Jean Grey.

The quirk system is interesting, and it makes the girls more unique than they are in most other similar games. Only recommendation is to add more dialogue throughout, even just simple comments during events, and It would be near perfect. As it is, I'm just nitpicking.

A lot of content and good graphics. A bit grindy, but there are already changes to the amount of grind required anounced.
Will be interesting to see if the devs can continue to provide content on that high a level moving forwad.

This might be the successor to Oni's game if done well so far many good reviews.

This game has truly exceeded expectations, delivering an exceptional gaming experience that leaves me eagerly anticipating future updates. The developers have created a virtual world that captivates with its engaging storyline, impressive visuals, and seamless gameplay. Every detail, from the intricate character designs to the immersive environments, reflects a commitment to quality.

What sets this game apart is its potential for growth. The current content is already fantastic, but the promise of more updates adds an exciting layer of anticipation. The developers' dedication to enhancing and expanding the gaming universe is evident, and it leaves players like myself hungry for what's to come.

The prospect of additional features, levels, or narrative arcs creates a sense of ongoing adventure. It's not just a game; it's an evolving experience. The thought of new challenges, characters, or twists in the storyline generates genuine excitement. In a gaming landscape that often leaves players wanting more, this title stands out as a beacon of promise, and I can't wait to see how it evolves with each upcoming update. It's a testament to the game's staying power and the developers' commitment to delivering an enduring and enriching experience.

Cant wait for more updates keep up the good work!

Excellent X-men-themed game with well rounded character, I enjoy every character personality and kink. The main story is well written, the art direct is cool and hot at the same time . Highly recommended.

Fun, interesting and not overtly kinky, just a damn good game with a surprising amount of customisation! Looking forward to seeing what future updates bring, the creator seems very active so I have high hopes that there will be more to come.

I thoroughly dislike this game... for not having known about it all this time.
It is fun, entertaining and compelling.
The characters are fleshed out and developed, they grow and change.
The story is enjoyable and captivating.
The artwork... is simply stellar.
The options you have in what to do and where to go are diverse. The mechanics are a bit tricky but it's good and gives you things to learn about it. I had not finished my first playthrough when I was already planning to do a second.
My one issue is how easily the girls were persuaded to share. But that's not a slight of the game in any way. The characters feel so real that it felt a bit off that they'd be so willing to let me have a harem. Which is not to say I didn't want to or that I don't like it. I'm just saying... it's too good for its own good?
The devs went above and beyond with the game.
I suppose the only problem is that I can't wait for more.
