VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Silver Lining [v0.9] [Namuswill]

The art is a delight, and the setting and time period is relatively unique and not often adopted by other H VNs I've seen. No use of shitty navigations or free roams, which is fabulous. It also seems that we're getting to see our fmc develop in a new city, and decide how she may flourish or fall. There is not a great deal of content as of yet, but what is here so far is most definitely promising.

One of the best early access games I've played on here.

Excellent art both between the backdrops and the characters. As a light spoiler version 0.2a has only one lewd scene but it showed off how proportionally normal the main character is which is great. For some reason a lot of games on here have super unrealistic looking women and I much prefer the grounded style shown here.

The story is also very believable so far. The main character is shy and it makes sense within that context that she could be influenced/corrupted by the other characters.

The developer has shown a lot of promise with this short glimpse at the game and I cannot wait to see what future versions bring.

v0.2

It is a very nice start. Story is engaging and it seems we're going to some very interesting places.

Art is very nice, characters look good. Details in the scenes, like clothes and furniture really add to the atmosphere of between the wars USA.

There's no sex scenes yet, only some mild erotica, but it is quite well done.

Dialogues are really good. The protagonist is a single daughter of eastern European immigrant family, presumably Polish/Ukrainian. It is quite easy to notice the different demeanor and tone between them and Americans. Kudos to the writer(s). It really adds to the atmosphere.

The downside is that there are quite a lot of spelling mistakes, but I didn't want to lower the score because of that.

All in all, there's not much there, but what's there now is top notch.

Hoping the quality won't be lowered and updates will be regular.

Lots of potential for this one. The protagonist is cute, the art style is interesting, the setting is unique. The dialogue could use some editing, some typos and grammatical errors, lowercase i's everywhere for example but that's just nitpicking. I look forward to seeing where this one goes.

High potential, fantastic art and writing. Completely unique setting that I haven't seen in any Western or Eastern games.

Still a bit nebulous as to what type of story will be told, but we shall see.

I very much like the setting and mood those few first pages of this visual novel transpire, the graphics and realistic characters. This could turn into a beautiful "Once upon a time in America" story and I'll follow this project with interest. This initial v0.1 release is still in a very early phase and just sets the tone for what follows. There is no PG or adult material, pretty much just a story opener, but a good one imho.
