Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Perfect Model [v2025-01-15] [BZ_STUDIO]

Review ver Jan, 2025

Intro showed a promising start, falling far short once the sandbox element came into 'play' and thereafter. I can appreciate it's still a very early release but the foundation set is shaky at best.

Plot of MC being involved in a photo contest, while OK on it's own is poorly developed. MC is portrayed as an art student painter, and given no indication of any interest in photography. Nor does he 'own' a camera to do so. Instead he has to borrow one for the sake of plot progression. Also set in the overused trope of all female 'landlady' and roommates. Never specified but can infer none are of any familial relation. Why all the seemingly random people are under the same roof not even remotely explored.

LI mostly seem likeable enough. Models are decent as well. Though reader is provided no background, and all characters personalities (MC included) is paper thin. Any adult content presented becomes uninteresting - lacking any pretext or chemistry between them.

While not necessarily against sandbox, so far has been poorly implemented. Player is forced to go to certain areas in specific sequence for progression. Given the appearance of choice where none exists. May as well have just been linear storytelling but needlessly prolonged by mouse clicks. And the mini-games amount to nothing more than mind numbing clickers. Mini-games should offer player engagement - here only serving as distraction.

There is some potential but dev should consider a complete reboot and overhaul. To continue with this narrative and gameplay framework would annul any further compelling interest.

The game was extremely good in my opinion . Yes it doesn't have a concrete story yet but everything else is close to perfection in my opinion . The characters are all beutiful and pretty unique and the sex scenes and renders are amazing , especially the one with the sex shop worker . I also like the fact that the photos are part of the story and are fluently thrown in . Its pretty early but this game has so much potential .

There are so many great things about this game. I don't know how to review it but I like that it has squirt and things you can think of that are a little dirty, which is what I like. However, I think the game has a good potential.

I like almost all the characters in this game and I personally want Rosa to have a quest and a path like the other main characters because I like her a lot. I like that our story with her is fast and not drawn out. It may be a little fast for some people but for me I like it this way. It's not a waste of time.

keep it up dev

VERSION: v2025-01-15]
SUMMARY: Decent start, but I am not sold on sandbox
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 4
2. Animations: 4
3. General Visuals: 4
4. Characters: 3
5. Story: 3
6. Writing: 3
7. Pacing: 3
8. Content (amount): 3
9. UI & Sounds: 4
10. Fetish & kinks: X

Average: X of 50 possible points giving a X% rating i.e. X stars.

PROS:

1. Models are fairly decent not greatest but a good, bit better than the average found here.
2. Animations are impressive and renders generally are pretty good.
3. Writing is not bad, structured fine and all
4. Music, sounds in general are pretty nice including lewd scene sounds, good job there.
5. The taking of photos mini-game is not bad actually and the interface is also pretty decently done. Generally the UI and sounds are good and you can tell effort was made here.
6. Choices do at least affect stats so its clear you need to think about what you going to decide. You can also get more than attribute or stat point depending on choices you make, at least that is done well.
7. Fair amount of content I guess, though being sandbox and time consuming does not add to actual content.

CONS:

1. Sandbox...who likes sandbox? VN please only or option to play in either mode, thanks. Free roam is kinda pointless, not sure if it not full implemented, but again, remove it IMO and just go VN or Kinetic.
2. Adding to above point, if you have really do free-roam sandbox crap then please put a quick navigation option in...
3. Could use some more customizing on the UI, like setting opacity for dialogue.
4. Story is simple, filled with cliches and unrealistic bullshit like x-ray spectacles. Clearly to appeal to the younger and mostly only horny crowd. Not a game that will have any thought provoking story or dialogue.
5. Per above point characters are by extension also fairly shallow and nothing complex about them, basic needs, thoughts, dialogue and backstory.
6. Mini-games are IMO something that does not contribute to the game in any meaningful fashion, at least not to a VN or text based game that relies on story, models and fap content. These mini-games are more time sinks that just do that WASTE TIME.
7. Pacing is OK, you get to see some lewd and a scene early on so pacing as far as that goes is decent but being a sandbox pacing general is in the toilet and depends on how fast you can earn money to buy a dress and then progress with that one scene after you give the LI the dress...joy...

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• While I HATE mini-games especially time based ones that prevent the player from progressing, the way the mini-games are done is at least a bit more interesting, but I would recommend having an option to disable it, especially if there are many photos to be taken.
• Some characters models are a bit silly wrt proportions, e.g. Ruby, obviously a young girl, but has tits like 40 year old viking chick and has a scar on her cheek also. The big tits I can let slide because I like tits but adding the scar also...sigh come on, chicks do not like scars and at her age she would be doing everything to fade or remove that scar.
• Sandbox with free-roam is just stupid, its busy work for players to have to go spend time, make money, sleep and then at a particular time and day be at a particular place to progress with an event for a particular LI. Its bullshit time wasting and not fun at all, whoever said its fun is mistaken. I would rather have a decent VN that is much shorter but has good content overall. Sandbox games are like all those survival games that come out every 5min and never go anywhere most of the time, only serve as money and time sinks.
• Overall apart from the sandbox gameplay, the game is decent and would get 4 stars easily enough, but with sandbox id literally take 2 stars off I am that against it.

Incest plot is perfect overall, love the main characters.
Really liked how naughty grace is and the fact that she lets you take pictures of her.
The whole cameraman plot is amazing, I can't wait until mc starts nude photography of grace and other characters.

The models are as the title suggest PERFECTO!!!!!
needs more content and some story to push the plot forward the lewd scenes need some polish.
i got nothing much to say since there is not much content and also the fact that you can't post a review until it is more than 200 characters
8/10

Standard barely teenager fantasy here.
Pink / Blue / Green hair unrealistic characters.
Free roam without knowing where you should roam.

The art is acceptable I guess. This game is for a particular audience of "very" young "adults".

It doesn't really feel an adult game, I cannot feel any particular atmosphere, it is just solve some permutation of clicks in order to reach some kind of form of lewd scene.

It is not terrible but not great either.
