VN - Ren'Py - The Singer [v0.85] [IntensiveCareGames]

Played a lot of games and this one is clunky at best and overdone at worst. It has potential sure, but a lot would need to be changed.
Positives

really the only thing I can think of is graphics are nice and the characters look good

negatives

the story just feels uninspired and half the time not interesting, funny, or exciting. Boring.

not really an original story ether so ehh

God this one is bad. Besides the girls being cute and all there's not much else.
Choices are meaningless. Dialogues are bad. English is awful.

I would give it 2 star but since lots of people gave 5 star for no logical reason I decided to give 1.

Thank you and the best of luck.

Version 0.5.1B

Good renders, good looking characters, decent animations, decent story, choices matter, you can corrupt both of the protagonists. If you like corruption games, this game is for you. If you hate NTR don't even try to play. You will give it 1 star like some of these people here.
I would give it 4 star but since lots of people gave 1 star for no logical reason I decided to give 5.

Nope... thats a No...

First of all, the good... the only good... the renders are decent. Not Top Notch, but good overall.

Thats it with the good things... everything else is really bad.

The Animations, just dont do them at all if you cant do them properbly. Only annoying in this game i would say.

The writing... uff... engrish at its best, if you cant write in english in a proper way, look for people who can help you.

The story... ah well, there is none i can tell.

NTR, so... yeah... i dont like NTR, but i DO LIKE games that include NTR if it fits the story and your decisisons. To be more clear... if you act like an asshole to your girlfriend, i dont mind if she starts cheating on you, cause you are the one to blame... so that would work.

Or, if the Girlfriend is a cheating bitch, give me the option to dump her.

Neither of the two options are in this game... the girlfriend is cheating on you... cause... the Dev decided it, thats it. You cant avoid it, your decisions doesnt matter at all, and youre still stuck with the girlfriend and has to "endure" her cheating all the way. You cant do shit about it. Just witness.

And on top of that, it makes no sense that the girlfriend is cheating... the other guys dont seduce her or anything like that... she just see some cock, and is on it... thats it... she isnt even talking to the other guys, just saying "hi" overall, and thats it... come on, thats really bad.

Write NTR the right way, so it makes sense... let meet the girlfriend another guy who is many ways "better" than the boyfriend, or let her be frustrated in the actual relationship, or or or... but just meeting another guy and go for it? Why? For what? and why cant the MC boyfriend react in any way to that? Cant understand this kind of writing...

Ah... yeah... writing, the dialogues... uff, no humor, no banter, no nothing... the dialogues are more or less like this "hi you" "hi you too" "i have wet pussy you have hard cock, lets do it" "oh yeah" "by the way i am a singer" "aha" "do you like singing" "hmhm" and so. At this niveau overall... but with really bad grammer.

The dev really puts effort in his renders, as i said they are decent, but way above average around here. But all the rest about the game is just bad... especially the writing and story telling.

If you are going to make an NTR game, at least make it decent.
I get that we don't have a choice and the girl is going to jump on every PP she can. But does that need to mean we don't get any choice in anything else?
Brutality and violence for the sake of doing something "different" but add nothing to the story, which makes about as much sense as the flat earth theory.
Multiple protags are just a gimmick and does nothing to help the game make sense or explain characters bizarre reasonings.
Some decent, if overused renders and no other reason at all to play.
Waste of time.

The renders are average at best but the real kicker is the story and the characters.
The characters' choices and behaviour make no sense and are not organic or genuine at all. There is no rhyme or reason as to why a character does what they do except that it fits the narrative the dev is trying to sell. The actions of the characters don't even make sense in the world of the game itself. Feels like Ria just woke up one day and said I'm gonna cheat on my boyfriend cause the dev said that they're making a cheating/NTR game. There are better and more interesting ways to make an NTR than just saying that the girl has a limp dick boyfriend.

Also the choices are practically useless caused whatever you choose there's practically only one path.

This is mostly a kinetic novel masquerading as a choice based one. There is no real choices in the game . I love NTR when done right, with seduction and temptation, but here there is no such thing. From the moment the girl meets another guy she starts to think about cock before he puts 2 words together.

My biggest gripe as I said is that there is no real choices. You play as two protagonists but you are a spectator to their action, with some flavorful "text" choices that change nothing, basically. False labeling of the game .

Pretty girls, that's the only positive thing I find here.

The reason is because the story is almost complete linear. You have decisions but most of them don't have a weight in the story.

If you choose the Love Route, the MC can reject girls aproaches but after just one reject decision, he is forced to fuck or recieve a blowjob from Lily/Lizzy. I don't understand why you have the option to stay faithful if the game will still make you fuck the girls like if you where in the Corruption Route.

It doesn't make sense that Ria fantasize about to fuck a guy she just meet, with a guy that she barelly had a short conversation.

Like don't make sense that the MC being in the Love Route fantasize about fuck Lily or Lizzy when he is having sex with Ria.
The story is really poor, a fantasy story has more realist things than this game.
This clearly can be a kinetic VN, wait, it is already a kinetic VN because your decisions doesn't matter.

Edit to make an statement. People don't give one star because they hate NTR, I love NTR, but the way is implemented here, looks like a kid write the story, the girlfriend wants to cheat just because she want it, that's it.
There aren't meaningful decisions, all ends in the same place. If you choose that the MC don't cheat her girlfriend, you can't, because the story force him to cheat. So the first decision about the boyfriend being faithful is the first lie of thousands.
If you like the game, good for you, but don't try to up the ratings saying that people is giving bad reviews because they hate NTR when thats not true.
You can read those reviews and will see that all of them give real reasons for bad reviews, and is not for "hate".

Version 0.4.5b

Most games at F95Zone are focused on harem or incest, with a male MC banging every hole, and the author from this novel decided to do something different. And with that in mind, my vote is to encourage authors to create the story they have in mind, and not retreat because of some haters.

In my opinion, every story can be good if there is commitment. And if it's not to your liking you can just look for another game. There are many titles to choose that may suit your preference.

I do like stories with antagonists and corruption, so I found this one to be pretty good. It has also gorgeous female characters. Ria is a 10/10.

Author, I wish you keep going.

Pros:
+ Renders O.K
+ Nice Sex Scenes
+ Animation is Nice


Cons:
- Some Spelling Errors


Conclusion:
Story is getting better and better, the animation scenes where good,
the Story is starting to make sense, here and there you will find speeling errors,but these are just minor errors.

Review based on v0.4.5B:

I don't get the hate this game is getting... Characters might not be original and seen before in some other games but they are good looking. Story is a bit rushed but not to the extent that it breaks immersion too much, besides people here always complains about games being to slow to get to the sexy scenes, guess you cant please everyone. Talking about the sexy scenes, they look rather good and are hot.

Only thing keeping this game down somewhat is the english.. It is easy to see that english is not the devs first language, but i managed to gloss over it and could mostly ignore it.

Game is good for what it is, and could the dev get a proofreader then it would be golden, 4/5 from me!

I came to this game following a new approach, and getting myself into this NTR stuff, and i played it, played the corruption route, but besides a couple of kisses, i dont see the big deal with the "unavoidable NTR" disclaimer.

I mean Lily is just a whore, i dont see her as a love interest, and Ria, besied some fantasy doesnt really do anything, maybe a kiss and a couple of lines of dialogue, so its pretty ame right now.

It exists inside dreams, and as the dev warns, its unavoidable, but they are dreams so far, so they have little conection to the plot. The worst dream is actually a nightmare of the Mc and the closest to NTR daydreaming fanservice.

Its was kind of a dissapontment, really. I gotta give a decent rating because of the camera work, and scenes are decently hot. Writing could be improved, maybe some tunning in the dialogues in the different routes, cause if you makelove decisions in the corrution route she will callyou love and that stuff, and also insult you, and send you to hell, its realistic, cause many women are like that, but i guess you know what i mean.

Lets see if the future is better, so far there is not enough, the game is not settled yet.

for v0.4
The models are cute.
Story makes sense.
The dialogue just needs some proofreading.
The renders could probably be a little better, but are adequate for the game tbh.
Overall decent quality.
One star reviews are people mad about ntr as usual. Do play the game.

Personally, I am not a fan of NTR and find the plot strange. But at the same time, it is not becoming less interesting.

There is a normal and adequate MC (which is very important to me), good characters and dialogues.

The only frustrating thing is the lack of choice.
But this is exactly the story that the author wants to tell, and I have no right to demand anything.

I tried to give it a chance, because I am not offended by NTR and was curious why it seems to be such a big deal for some people in this game.
English is not my native language either but sadly the english in The Singer is so bad that I could not stand it after the first several minutes. Perhaps the developer should focus on doing it in his own language and hire someone who is worth the time and effort to translate it.

Garbage game no matter what you're looking for. No option to not be a cheating, douchy cunt of a boyfriend and on the NTR path fe male is obessed with every other male npc and you have to see fantasies of said scens even if you decide to keep her faithful. All garbage. No good story progression or anything, obviously, with as well watch an amateur porn

**GOOD FOR A QUICK FAP**


So for starters I honestly expected the english to be a lot worse after reading the very poorly worded OP summary, and of course given some comments made here by people I'm guessing now didn't actually play much of the game and are just piling that complaint on to the other aspect that really has them hot and bothered. But with that said...the consistently short sentence structure used isn't exactly doing a bang up job at making me forget that I'm playing a non native language developed game either.

Models are subjectively good imo, and the game's strong point as the story is mostly of the thrown in variety that essentially is just forgettable filler driving you from one hastily progressed corruption sex scene to the next. Which on that note there is already a fair amount of advanced payout sexy time in the game. Animations aren't of stand out quality, but they still add a positive aspect to the payoffs.

Basically the game achieves a nothing special presentation but nothing "avoid it bad" job of what it's trying to do here. Which to the people crying about "avoidable content" or lack of choices...kinda should of already been fairly obvious in that this wasn't looking like a game aiming to cater to any "pure" or "love" path playthroughs before you even hit that download button lol (regardless if that meant you otherwise had to go a night without downloading that always endless new game need if nothing else on the latest update page had models you liked )

So yeah. Downloaded and got a fap out of it. Likely will play it one more time when once I see a sex scene update on the main female character...and that will likely be it. One of those games.

Would of had more lasting potential as female only MC project.

Ok I tried it.
The mc is kind of meh, but the girls are gorgeous, especially Ria and Lily. As mentioned in the first post of the thread, the game is relatively hardcore and has unavoidable ntr. If you're ok with that, it's actually very well-made (except maybe some dialogues). The sex scenes are the highlight of this game, the dev really knows how to make hardcore scenes hot, especially the latest ones in that update. I really like how depraved and hot Lily is, and I look forward making Ria sluttier. Yeah the point of the game is straightforward, it's really pure corruption, if you're into it it's very enjoyable.
Looking forward to the continuation.

Don't bother to play that if you aren't NTR fans.

• Mediocre quality speckled renders,
• mediocre models,
• primitive short sex scenes.
• Primitive dialogues with poor Engrish grammar,
• primitive story.
• Females (including the girlfriend) are sluts,
• no choice would prevent NTR (regardless of what the overview says).

[v0.3]

Game gets far too much hate. Some of the reviews I feel are a tad bit too subjective. Ill try my best to give some objectivity

---Disclaimer, If NTR is not your kink then do not fear. The one scene that conatins NTR could be removed in a single patch although its not that bad.---

---GOOD---
- Decent fap. The two main girls are very sexy ESPECIALLY Ria and the story does a fantastic job focusing mainly on them. Its definitely a strong point.
- Cheesy charm. Yes the graphics are mediocre at best. Yes the scenes and settings need work. Yes the plot is terrible but it all comes off campy. Games not taking it self seriously.
- Sex scenes galore. They are Hot. Good but not great
- NTR done well in the sense its not a cucksimulator but if you treat the girl like a SIMP or a douce than it will make her leave. Just like most of the time in real life. Its sad that this is even considered NTR.
- Adequate dialogue, for the most part.
- Slim thicc girls. The way petite should be done in my opinion. Cute models with mature womanly features.
- Story is bare bones and simple. Its a VN with no sandbox or stupid supernatural elements. No drugging or creepy rape sex.

---CONS---
- Dialogue escalates too quickly although its true for Ria's friend
- Needs more sneaky sex scenes
- The one NTR scene should be avoidable in an update and then there would literaly be no NTR, just competition.
- I LOVE scenes where you have to defend the girls via the old ultraviolence and fisticuffs old chap! But I got the biggest Unintentional laugh I ever had playing these games when two guy who looked like Backstreet Boys rejects were supposed to be the scumbags stealing the girls.
- Nothing about the game is believeable or truly immersive because of the scenery. If the Dev improves this the game would drastically increase although as it stands its still a good game.
- MC looks like a tool and a complete wimp. I get there may be an option to cuck him later and so far that would be deservedly so.
- Game has to overcome its short comings with more variety and kinks. More threesomes and cheating situation. The option for a boob job, the option to share and the option to make her completely slutty will make this a 5 Star in my book.

IGNORE ALL the whiners complaining about NTR, the NTR in this game is avoidable except for technically one scene the game is not a masterpiece but its fairly decent.
