Ren'Py - Completed - The Pilgrimage [v2.10] [Messman]

Excellent animations and great story/scenarios. Messman updates the game very often and keeps supporters in the loop with constant content sneak peaks. Probably my favorite game in quite a while. There isn't any other game in production right now with this high level of animation and complexity that features monster/beast content. Highly recommend.

An almost perfect game in my opinion. There are a good number of locations and scenarios to encounter and all of it has been developed in depth. combat is a bit awkward and slow, the various routes and bad endings you can go through are very diverse and exciting. The only issues in my opinion is the ending of the game which feels a bit rushed and a few mechanics and locations that feel a bit underdeveloped. but overall one of the best Ren'py games ive played.

Some basic lighthearted sexy fun can be found but at the cost of boredom.

After seeing tons of 5 star reviews I thought I was in for a real treat. Instead, I kept getting bored. The story is light with boring grind. I never made it to the end of the game.

The renders are average to below average. The animations and sex scenes are excellent (best parts of the game). Story and writing aren't strong points. Creature sex is the main focus of the game and makes up roughly 90% of the lewd content. If you aren't into creature sex or beastality then steer clear of this game. I understood this going into the game so no stars were taken away for this.

Combat gets repetitive rather quickly and so does hacking doors that never stay open for longer than one day. The ventilation system that you have to navigate through and do quests to get to the end was pure frustration!

I didn't mind the primitive renders that much if the story was engaging and kept my interest. The problem is that I kept losing interest and had to keep forcing myself to continue (hoping things would get better) until I finally had enough.

I'm a Mass Effect fan (Mass Effect 2 & 3 were my favorites) but this game didn't do much for me sadly. Somehow I had a different experience with the game than all the players giving it raving 5 star reviews.

An extremely fun game, obviously I love the Mass Effect setting and they do a good job of establishing new characters that almost fit the lore, the gameplay loop can be a bit tedious and I'd prefer if it was a visual novel, but overall it's a great game, with lots of great scenes, and the executive decision that the author had to think of to make Elcor's have horse cocks is hilarious.

It's great, albeit maybe a bit short, and the plot is very strong.

Great game. The very beginning may not seem very high quality, but as you progress through the story you can see how the author's skills improve and by the middle and end of the game the game becomes simply amazing. I don't really want to describe every aspect of the game, but believe me, you should definitely try this game if you haven't played it before! Thank you very much to the author of the game for the work done!

it is obvious that dev has put a lot of thought and effort into the game. every scene has different variations, outcomes and surprises. i played the game when it first came out where everything was pixelated, and now i see that at the end everything is high quality and fun to play. i would have liked to see a couple different things but i see them in the second version, besides these things would not reduce from 5 stars in any way.

We all need this kind of games. İ dont want to see just pick choice and watch people talking . Great artwork. Well Done ! Wish main charther was human but it is okey. Just dead screens was annoying it. İf i wasn't save all the time i could be angry.

Probably the best game out there in this style
Lot's of pretty good animations, of the beast content type. With extra variants for corrupted states.
A decent story, that doesn't bore you with endless texts between action. The dialogue is actually pretty well written, not to simple or word vomit.
Tons of lewd content that you can miss, if you don't know about it or experiment with 'what happens if I don't do something'. The gallery mod might be useful, if not for outright checking everything, but just to see there's something more you haven't encountered.
Some systems and "plots" are not finished at the end, but hey, the sequel is already being made, so I accept that.
The updates came actually decently, and not left in a perpetual v0.7 state, like a lot of other lewd games. I hope it stays like that for the sequel too.
And it's Mass Effect, which is a huge plus for me. We need more Mass Effect lewd content!
Ps: what I'd like in an adult game is that the lewd content is an integral part of the gameplay, and not just a reward or a defeat screen. And here it is a part of the game.

Great game! So many sex scenes, including defeat ones. Hits my fetish of Huge cocks in the perfect way. Main Character is decently hot and even has a bit of futa content. So hyped for more content! This dev definitely knows how to make me tick. Gameplay is simple but not too boring, and always another sex scene a few clicks away.

Every time I think I've seen all there is to see, this game surprises me with more. I love the huge variety of creatures and scenes, especially the animated ones. I'm not that into beasts and monsters, but every time a new creature shows up, I can't wait to see how it's gonna take advantage of me. My go-to monster cock game!

Perhaps not as consistently "hot" as Tentacular and at times the game is a little grindy... but the AMOUNT of scenes combined with the SEX graphics (improved substantially around mid-game). Make for one hell of a feast

I spent 2-3 hours playing, and then cheated (Gallery Mod) to see all scenes. Turns out I still hadn't seen around 70% of the content

Very nice ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Quality? ✅ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Quantity? ✅ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Has to be the best Mass Effect themed content out there.
Cant wait for Chapter 2.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

When I saw it I thought it was the typical 3D game with only assets but I was surprised, it's really great that it's not a damn vn it's a sandbox with a lot of scenes and a good story a bit short but that's because it's the 1st chapter. The only downside I see is that it was divided, I would have preferred a single game but that's my opinion. ok to finish: the game is god is a pretty good only give a tray an you love is true i think

Great renderers and proably one of the best Mass Effect porn parodies I have seen I wish there was more characters like Miranda, and Jack to join in the fun also would love a way to work a shift prostituting Tali at the bar to random guys for supplies but other then that great game and who knows with Chapter 2 coming out maybe one day get my wish

Now, usually I tend to skip over games with 3D models... however, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The animation work, sheer volume of scenes, and various styles of gameplay that have been put into this game is quite impressive. Would recommend if you have any affinity for the Mass Effect setting or Tali.

One of the best among parody game. Its everything basically the suicide mission misses in Mass Effect 2. And the corruption part was spot on. If the sequel could bring in rest of the female cast in it, it make my day. Also small suggestion, not much, Tali fucks Leviathan. Just a thought.

Messman is probably the best game dev on this site, because this is 100% a game. It has mechanics that are unique and enjoyable (sometimes they clunk but they work hard to drive out the bugs) that spruce up already amazing porn scenes. There is a story and it isn't so bloated in text that you just want to skip past it, you interact with the characters in the world enough you know their personalities rather than just the shape of their bodies.

It's as appealing as it is ambitious, and it is very, very, very ambitious.

I used to be pretty biased against Ren'Py to the point where I actively ignored them, because I assumed they would all just be standard CYOA visual novels. Granted, most of them very much still are, but I find myself being continually impressed by how much creators can do within that limitation. It's gotten to the point where I think most of the best games on this site are made using Ren'Py, RPGMaker, and Twine. When I think about it, this makes sense. The easier an engine is to use, the more productive its users will be.

Anyways, the Pilgrimage is a fanfic/parody of Mass Effect where you play as Tali trying to escape a ship where a bunch of horny Cerberus experiments have gotten loose. You basically explore a set of various locations to collect items and play minigames (combat + puzzles) in order to advance the story. This game has the classic problem many coomer games have had where the player is incentivized to intentionally lose encounters with enemies to access much of the h-content, but I don't think players are really going to be super bothered by this aspect. Many players are used to this gameplay and I understand that requiring the player to win in order to access the h-content would fundamentally change the kind of fantasy the creator is going for.
The Tali model is pretty good, and since the Mass Effect creators kind of half-assed their depictions of what Quarians actually look like underneath their suits I think this game's design for Tali's face is pretty good. She sort of looks gothy with purple makeup which is a look I think a lot of players would like. The animations are fairly decent, and when you take into account the sheer number of animations and 3D models in this game it's actually fairly impressive. Thing is most of the animations involve monsters with cartoonishly giant dicks fucking hot girls/futas, and if this isn't your jam then you're going to be sorely disappointed. A lot of the monsters are actually kind of horrifying to be honest, and there are some scenes that are legitimately scarier than anything you see in most horror games on Steam. Fortunately the scares are followed by cartoonish fucking, instead of the expected gore (this game still has some blood on a few dead bodies). Overall there is a ton of content, and it's pretty well spread out throughout the various locations which you can visit again as the game progresses to find new scenes.

Unfortunately, this is still a Ren'Py game, and so the combat and dungeon (vent) crawling parts of the game feels extremely janky and repetitive. I understand that the combat and exploration segments have a fair amount of h-content scenes to keep the dopamine levels up, but once you've seen the scenes it just feels very grindy. The character writing is actually not bad at all which is pretty rare in h-games. Not a ton of backstory but a good amount of effort was put into the existing interactions and dialogue, which is reminiscent of how the original series dealt with side characters. The author definitely has a lot of love for the original Mass Effect series and it's reflected in the writing.

Overall a pretty solid game with a ton of effort and heart put into it by its creator. The RPG elements are pretty forgetable but as a visual novel it's very much one of better ones you can find.

very fun game. really addictive.
It's really hot, some things and options are kind of hidden, like clicking on Tali's but in rooms will make her do an animation, that changes with her lewd level.
i wonder how many such things i didn't find.
i'm waiting for the next chapter with excitement

When i saw the preview i thought it would be another trash game with only few bad scene, but its is actually a game with a LOT of different scene that are actually smoothly animated ! the game was (for my joy) way longer than anticipated, and it's only chapter one ! Kudos to devs !
