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

Hello
I don't do much review so consider details noobs
This is one of the best game I liked for a long time. I usually don't play female protagonist but some games are awesome in that. Until now I liked mostly this two game
1. pilgrimage and
2.cyberslayer.
This two are my favourite man.(most fap one too).
Consider this game 10/10 man
I wouldn't have write this review if game wasn't worth it

very detailed game with many different animated scenes, actual developer that finishes and puts out constant content it is a rare thing to see someone actually working hard on their project nowadays... literally the GOAT can't wait for chapter 2.

Heard about this one quite some time ago, but skipped it because it looked kind of rough. However now that it's finished, I decided to give it a try and, well, it's indeed kind of rough.

Some activities, like vent crawling, quickly become a chore.
By the end of the game animations become smooth, but early ones are pretty stiff and the way models "connect" to each other still could use some work.
Fighting things is pointless because it only takes resources and more time than simply running away and on top of that increases the frequency of future encounters to sap even more resources/time from you.
Tali could talk a bit more during scenes, but that's very minor and situational.
Also a kroxigor and skinks in ME setting kinda break the immersion, but that's my own problem.

However the game generously compensates it with the amount of content, regularly tries to freshen up the gameplay and has an actual h-system with it's combo of clothing/lewdness/items situations instead of the usual "Pick a character for sex" VN stuff. Not to mention that Western gamedevs with the focus on such content are a rare kind.

Pretty good but has issues.

The story is good enough basically it is just watch tali have sex with mostly creatures, which is good enough for me because I like tali.

The sex scenes have good animations they look pretty robotic but I didn´t mind I liked them.

The text is a bit too small.

The gameplay is the negative of this game. Combat isn´t that interesting and sometimes takes too long. The lewdness meter was very undercooked.
And the scavengin felt very useless.

But if you like mass effect, or just tali, or beastiality with aliens try it.

This is easily the strongest western eroge of the last few years. Finishing within a year is already unheard of, and yet Messman has managed to pack in so much interesting and varied content into a game with such a unique premise and setting that it just doesn't sound real.

wonderful project, definitely worth checking. maybe model quality is not the best you can find on the site, but content is so creative that personally i will take this game over other typical modern VN

I really wanted to like this game as I'm a big fan of mass effect and Tali. Sadly the execution here is horrible. Full of game breaking bugs and confusion as you are not sure if you have to do something to progress or if the game is just bugged. The sex animations are not that great either, certainly not a enough of a reward for all the frustrations you will encounter.

I gave up during the vents section when I got the green toxin to clear out the biomass in the vents but the game would not give me the option to use it on the biomass. Basically I was stuck. Play this clunky buggy mess at your own risk and only with a walkthrough.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. From the previews, I didn't think I would love the art, but the animation quality was great and there really is so much content. After I thought I had completed the game, every bit of additional exploration uncovered another scene I had missed. And I've never even played Mass Effect.

this game surprised me with the amount of content and the quality. I didn't expect this much variety and choices that you can make. the scenes and animations are well done. the minigames and puzzles are a little pain to do when you have only hand, but apart form that, overall would rate this one of better adult game I played. I hope that new content gets added as it became one my favourite, and thanks to Messman for making this game and continue updating it. I would definitely recommend to give it a try.

For me the game is a solid 5/5.
It has a style of gameplay that I like and it's full of animated scenes with sound effects.
The story is good enough to drive the game forward, while the gameplay is based mostly on exploration with a little grind.
There are literally hundreds of possible defeat scenes with different monsters and aliens. I can't remember if I even seen a game with that amount of scenes.
One big downside for me is that I'm not a huge fan of bestiality and especially insectoids.
But I can mostly look beside it and image that it's me filling Tali's holes.
And I must say that Tali's model is extreme hot and she has a really cute face.

I expected a lore heavy visual novel that would reuse the lore and characters from Mass Effect but it ends up being just the excuse to make a game about an alien humanoid chick getting fucked by other aliens and it's perfect
Story : As said previously, an excuse to move forward the story but it's fine, just enough so you can get the character fucked in less than 10 minutes
Gameplay : A visual novel with some interactive elements and lots of animations, very polished and solid, I didn't find any bugs
Porn/Visuals : A good amount with lots of variations taking into account the 3 stages of corruption, some animations are more polished than others but REALLY hot nonetheless
Overall, a very enjoyable short visual novel, I can't wait for the next part, huge props to the developer for such an steady development with constant releases

Edit : Also,I'm a bit mad there are no multiple endings but since the dev has said it's for the benefit of the story after, then I won't hold it against him for now

Animations are not the best quality but the game itself is good. Love the variety of events depending on the lewd level and the exploration. Some gameplay mechanics may be tedious and repetitive, but overall experience is fun to watch. Also appreciate keeping the popular characters out of main story and solely focusing on Tali and her adventures. Really good stuff, can't wait for part 2.

Beautiful animations (especially the latest ones) , interesting story and interactive gameplay. The best game I played that was programmed in Ren'Py , and last but not least featuring the best girl from Mass Effect.

Fantastic lewd content. The scenarios Tali finds herself in are very tantalizing, and just when I think it can't get better, a new set of animations, positions, and creatures are revealed as Tali becomes even more lewd. Even the writing for her inner thoughts gets hotter over time as she loosens up and begins to enjoy herself.

The story is simple enough to stay interesting without being needlessly complicated and the progression of events that lead Tali from one lewd scenario to the next are believable and still interesting throughout. The cast of characters are fun to interact with and learn about, and the changes to Tali over the course of the story have been great to witness.

Animations are a little rough around the edges but also have a unique charm to them, and the content more than makes up for it. Genuinely some great sex scenes and the animations are good enough that they help more than they hurt. No real complaints.

Audio could use some work however, once the final product is nearing completion. The sound effects used so far aren't my favourite to be honest. It's better than not having any sound at all but because the animation loops are short, the audio paired with it is choppy and doesn't sound the greatest in some scenes. The voices used are fine, but it's easy to tell which are AI and I would prefer a proper voice actress for the moans, gags, slurping, and other lewd sounds. I believe some VA's even have sound libraries that can be purchased for this exact scenario - for lewd audio that can be used in projects without the need to record custom content. Not a huge deal breaker, and having audio to begin with sets it apart from so many other games that have none at all, but could use some tweaks in the future.

Overall it's a fantastic game that will continue to be on my radar. Can't wait to see what's next for this talented creator, whether it's more Mass Effect or a different franchise.

The content of this game is the one I've played the most, and every scene is animated. Not to mention, the animation quality is extremely high. Time flies by as I play, and I hope this game continues to be updated like this!)

The animations are very good. Fluid dynamics are included in the game also and are good quality. The story and exploration part are well written, programmed and animated.

Simple combat system including crafting/buyables. Its simple but effective and a bonus for those who just want the scenes without alot of fighting.

Has bad endings which are well written and animated. Includes a few plot twist which I won't mention here.

A very well thought out game.

10/10 perfect
just bring new slug events
These events with slugs and insects in tight places are very exciting, especially when the slug gets stuck to the butt and it keeps crawling in the ducts, bring more variations of slugs, and there could be an event or some item that could get the slug stuck in the ass all day, like a feminine pad.

I was a bit hesitant to give this a try, since I put a lot of time into Mass Effect back when it was new, and was worried this would be some low-effort porn that doesn't capture the feel of it. 100% wrong on my part, this is the real deal. Some shortcomings for sure - 'combat' is kind of extraneous, there's repetition where there doesn't need to be - but on a fan game, nothing even worth losing a 5-star rating. It's hot and horny, but more than that it's obviously made by folks who get Mass Effect and put real effort into making a Mass Effect porn game, not just a porn game with Mass Effect CG models in it. Pour more story and characters in and I could easily get properly invested in this as an RPG, as it is it's still a ton of fun, and I'd highly recommend anyone who likes the sound of Tali getting her inhibitions thoroughly ruined in a fun and very varied series of escapades give this a try.

I love games where you slowly corrupt the mc and this game is perfect if you want to see tali get corrupted by monster cock I kept thinking i about finished what was left of the current story only to find new areas and cutscenes high quality art and alot of it

If you are into this kind of thing - this is straight out perfect. I 'binged' it in few hours. animations are beautiful. story actually captivating. Maybe too little characters to interact with, but, then again - early version + "not exactly 'human' interaction orriented game".
It's wonderful. I will most likely support creator.
