VN - Ren'Py - Completed - The Secret Ingredient Is ... [v1.0] [Velkami]

Buddy! Talk about packing up the taste buds for a weekend trip to Flavortown.....this treat is cute and wholesome AF!

Hey guys, wholesome slut here, bringing you another review of shorties I have been finding on this site.....now...now....get a hold of yourself before you cream your knickers from my presence......

Pros:

1. Writing is decent (~1hr) and plenty of good humor and touching moments.
2. Animations are pretty clean and camera angles are really well done.
3. Story is generic but nicely displayed....(basically alchemist needs a secret ingredient.....fill in the blanks)
4. Li is cute af.
5. Ending made my heart orgasm <3

Cons: Honestly for a short title, NONE. Music would be cool but I just pulled up medieval music on YouTube and it fit perfectly to game's theme.

Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely yeppity yep for my fellow wholesome sluts...Ciao

(Dev's other game is also banger!)

Not so much a game as more a VN but holy hell is it ever extremely sexy!! Ellyn is absolutely sexy, Velkami has excellent taste in women!! Her desire for the MC's cock is mind-blowing for me, her desire to please it just does it for me! Have replayed this game multiple times and it never fails to disappoint! Looks like the author hasn't made anything in quite a while which is unfortunate as this game is my greatest fantasy!!

Do yourself a favor, if you desire nothing more than having an extremely fit, attractive female want nothing more than to pleasure your cock, download and play this now!

Wow this was actually a very wholesome story! Extremely great job on manipulating the Skyrim characters and adding elements on top. Never knew you had so much control with mods. I honestly thought the story would have turned dark with the unknown side effect of the potion, but i love how it ended.

Would be very interest to try more of these stories!

I liked this short novel.
But there's room for improvements in every aspect.
Graphics from modded Skyrim with pretty good quality but there's object in object "feature" from TES engine in many scenes.
Sound.. There's no sound at all. With music from TES or Gothi it would be much better experience.
Also there's no story besides MC and Ellyn relationship development. Pretty sad, there could've be very interesting story in this setting.

Overall it's strong 4 stars game. Will look forward for future Velkami's projects.

Such a cute and wholesome game! Many thanks to the dev for making this gem. I'm a sucker for a nice vanilla story where the plot makes sense but doesn't feel overbearing. Here you get just enough context to frame the action. Love it! Please, make more <3

I really enjoyed playing the whole game....Aside from a few grammatical mistakes (and maybe the male model) I loved everything about it...The game had a great blend of erotic while being wholesome and I loved it

Kudos to the dev for a great short story

Ok, so first of all, good things first, game looks great. Loved seeing all of those backgrounds, and the girl is adorable. The sex scenes were a lot of fun to watch.

The problem is that the dialogue was never more than passable the entire time, and I'd say after about 20 minutes I got so sick of it. Considering how short this game is, there's a LOT of dialogue as well, and I read most of it up until when they go on a date, and at that point I just sorta gave up and skipped through it.


In other words, I don't entirely regret playing it, game looks great, but if you can't write interesting dialogue, you shouldn't have that much dialogue.

My advice to you is either try to learn how to write dialogue better, or make it short and to the point. Either way, you're not hurting anyone by making this game, so if you're interested in making more games please do.

It's a pretty short and sweet game that doesn't try to be more than what it's meant to be. The graphics are nice and you really won't even remember that this is a modded version of Skyrim. The animations are also solid. The graphics, animations and overall composition of the sex scenes makes this a product unlike 99% of the 3D Ren'Py VNs you'll see around here.

It takes a talented person to make a good mod, but it takes an equally talented person to bundle all those mods together, create a VN-type game with Skyrim as your tool, and make it work. The universe of this game has nothing to do with Skyrim, but I feel like Skyrim players can get a special kind of enjoyment out of this in a wish-fulfillment kind of way.

The girl's personality is cute and she's pretty interesting. There's never a dull moment around her, although I would've liked to know more about her. The ending takes the sweetness and cranks it up to 11. It's really, really wholesome, but it doesn't overstay its welcome enough to become cringeworthy.

What is cringeworthy, however, is how the MC acts. I can understand Ellyn stuttering and being awkward, considering the nature of her request and all, but the MC also acts incredibly awkward for no apparent reason. The result is a dialogue that feels sluggish to read and extremely uncomfortable to sit through, as you watch these two goofy goobers struggling to string a sentence together. Ellyn being awkward is cute and makes sense, but the MC would've been better with an actual personality instead of "Can't make him seem too eager, so let's make him a nervous wreck." It's pretty difficult to write hot sex scenes when the lead-up is a cringefest, so the sex scenes end up being pretty unsexy. They're not bad, just not very arousing either.

And that's really my only complaint. This game is short but not too short like Schleepover was. The girl is cute, her ass looks great, the mods used for her body and clothes are nice, the ending is satisfying and this was overall a pleasant experience despite the MC. By all means, this is a great product that clearly had passion put into it.

5 stars. All the way. Short, but very cute and very... realistic. The face of the main protagonist isn't exactly what you'd call "handsome" but you'll grow to actually like it. The girl is absolutely stunning in all aspects with a very lovely personality and her facial expressions are just beautifully done. The conversations are very human-like and are something you'd probably experience yourself in the real world. All the stuttering, the sense of nervousness, the excitement. It makes the game feel like it's more than just a game. (Though you might wanna add some sounds next time, at the very least background music, haha). Overall highly recommended, and I'll be looking forward to more of your work.

Really great story.
Iam looking forward and hoping for another story, or even continuation of this one.
I would not mind even if it delve more into Skyrim story. Or to make serial like story (something like Story of Sirrae)
Really good work

Short, sweet and lovely. Just the sort of thing the soul needs.
If you really want a breakdown it's roughly like this:

The Art:
It's Skrim. If you like the arty style you'll like this.

On the minus side the MC does have a face only a mother could love. And even she'd need beer goggles the size of barrels to do so. But it detracts nothing from the overall game. In fact, it kind of grows on you.

On the plus side is everything else. The textures are high res, the girl is incredible and both the stills and animations are well designed, lit and choreographed.

Overall an easy 5/5 on the art department. You can really tell someone put in the effort to do it right.

The Story:
The story is very short but also very focused. It makes the absolute best of the time it has and is very well done. And crucially the game does not feel cut short in any way.

Long story short the dev clearly had a story to tell and knew how to do it concisely and well rather than trying to pad the game out needlessly for extra hours. And it shows.

This said, I definitively would love to see more of the two simply because I've grown to like them.

Sound:
As far as I could see there is none. I highly recommend playing the Skyrim soundtrack in the background though as it works really well.

So overall in conclusion if you are in the market for a short but sweet romantic story about an cute girl and a honest decent young man (as opposed to many game protagonists these days) you can do far worse than this game.
