VN - Ren'Py - The Way Love Goes [Ch.35] [Naughty Skunk Games]

Hey Dev and everyone. I'm just.. emm.. first, for this game, I rated it 3 stars. That's first for effort to still fighting till this recent chapter and released. Other are for decent dialogues and decent renders and animations. But, emm if this game has choices based, at the very least you can make it by having 2 LI for the difference path and some little for side character. But no matter your choice, in the end u still end up with the same outcome. And one more thing, if u want to attract more people, I guess creampie is mandatory but not a must. Which means, as the game stated as choices based, you should at least put the choice during H scenes so that the creampie player can enjoy the scene too. Choice of H stance, creampie or pull out, we all can choose it base on our preferences. But this is directly abuse the player offhh.. i know you maybe want to finish this project sooner, but at least do it proper so your project will still be played even after years of it finished . My opinion, you should fix that by having the choice for player to choose and at least have 2 LI that have choices impact and the different outcomes if u don't want to make it all characters. Well, overall , it's average. But yup, u can consider this suggestions if you wish to have this project successful and playeable.

I might have to update this at some point, we'll see. Unless something dramatically changes between here and the end, a 3-star rating feels about right.

I'm about four chapters in. I'm not sure if the story, which is OK so far, gets better or worse from here. The storytelling isn't much to write home about; it's getting the job done--the story is advancing--though it feels primitively done. A 3rd-person omniscient POV can do a lot to make you a fly on the wall, but it feels like it's just being used to reassure you that your MC isn't a horny 20-something, but rather that he's just another guy living the everyman dream of a local in Hornytown (read: everyone is horny, you're normal)... I mean, 'when in Rome' right? So yeah, it could be much worse, but I also feel like it could be better. According to previous reviews--the most recent should reference through chapter 34--it looks like a lot of the choices you make really don't mean anything and the story meanders into some weird direction... so I'm mentally steeling myself for what could be an odd journey.

Edit: Chapter 5, an outright "game over" if you say no to simply going to help someone move something; wow... that either means the LI is intrinsic to the story --at which point, I ask, why even offer the choice?-- or this is just the developer being dumb. Since I've already opined that, if the in the alternative, the developer shouldn't even give you a choice here, I'm inclined to say the developer is just dumb and being dumb. Yeah... gonna be a bumpy ride.

The renders are relatively grainy to this point (again, chapter 4). Feels like something I would have seen 5-7 years ago in this genre. According to the dating of the earliest posts on the thread, this seems to have been in the works for a few years now, so I get that it shouldn't look like something that rendered last week on an RTX 5090... but it definitely shouldn't look this dated either.

The animations, the few that I've seen through the first four chapters, are low framerate loops. Judging the files in the game folder, I'm guessing they're all Python-coded scene-driven loops chock full of JPG or WEBP images until you get to chapter 22, at which point actual WEBM videos become the norm. I previewed a couple of the later WEBMs with no context--just loaded a couple of clips in a video player--and I'll admit, the quality seems to improve some (especially videos in well-lit scenes). Additionally, they seem to occur more frequently than through the first four chapters--187 files across the 13 folders of chapters 22-34, an average of over 14 full animations per chapter--so there's something to look forward to.

So far, this just seems like a pretty average outing for a game from five years ago... but since it's still seeing active development, I dunno. "We'll see."

Looks its a "Landlady" Style AVN with your Aunt as the Landlady. Plot is simple there is a secret society that is pissed off at you for some reason. Thats the whole AVN essentially in a nutshell.

Its not a bad AVN but tis very generic, there is very little choices. LI's are smoking hot. Bella's face could be batter though IMO.

There really is not much more to say except its playable but its not the best AVN out there either

The MC gets more and more stupid as time goes on(actively and knowingly running in to a trap with people he knows are killers), the story get progressively more convoluted and nonsensical, the animations are very slow and very short and never match up with the descriptions/conversations, they are also grainy.
Generally a below average game in every sense.

When the family returns home after spending weeks on an island vacation that went horribly wrong (MC kidnapped, barely got away on the flight out), they find their house broken into and all but one room ransacked. A natural reaction would be to call the police and report a break in. In this world, they clean everything up themselves and order pizza. This is essentially how everything in this game is done. Think of the most reasonable/natural response or action, and then implement the polar opposite into the game.

Everything about this game screams "freshman effort". Gratuitous use of Inner Monologue; you will know every character's thoughts at all times, because even stuff that makes MORE sense as spoken dialogue will be communicated by thought because, hey, lazy writing for the win. Even a cursory search anywhere on script writing (AI, search engine, YouTube) immediately has references to Inner Monologue being the top most abused and overused trap in creative writing, with immediate tips on how to avoid falling into this trap. I would wager they had to research how to work in Daz3D (not that they're good here - Key Lighting is done with flash bangs and Mag-Lite flashlights pinned to the character's heads) and how to code Python in Ren'Py, but avoided anything that would help them with script writing like it was a plague.

Praise for sticking to the grind for 32 chapters. This is all work that most people give up on extremely early on in the dev cycle. This game also has an average review score, which means an equal number of people love this game as much as there are those of us who don't. So, this is a coin flip game. You may love it. You may hate it.

I very much enjoyed the game, not sure why it has such a low rating. Good characters, nice scenes some cousin loving. Hope there is more to come, more with the Asian friend would be great. My only complaint is the lack of creampies, like dude is a pull out champion

this game sucks. it is NOT a players choice vn. it is quite literally a kinetic novel and forces you to be raped and having sex with a fat ugly black chick. the "options" are NOT REAL. you can deny and be rude to everyone and you will still end up in a relationship with them. THE MC IS THE DUMBEST CHARACTER I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN ANY VN. LIKE HE IS SO DUMB. also I think the mc is actually gay and pretends to be straight for some reason. probably past trauma, who knows. but don't play this game, yes it may be long and have many chapters. but I can say its not worth it. ALSO, 32 CHAPTERS AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT CREAMPIED A SINGLE GIRL OR HAS GOTTEN THEM PREGNANT.

You can't say that the game is good, the developer should have made a kinetic novel, because there are so many decisions, but they don't mean anything, you don't like a girl, game over. The best example is Lilly, the game warns you that if you reject her it will affect you very negatively, all lie, soon you'll fuck her as if it is what you had chosen.
I get the feeling that the developer just wants to finish the game as fast as possible regardless of the quality, I can not recommend a game like this.

I'm not sure why this novel has such a low rating. In my opinion, it's one of the top 15 on the entire website. The plot is simple and interesting, and it's easy to follow. The main character isn't annoying, the dialogue is well-written, and there are plenty of good H scenes. I recommend it to everyone this one AVN. Thank to the developer for creating such a great game!

Ch 30 Playthrough.

I like this game but I hate it more...

Basically, the only way you can love this game is if you hate cumming inside.

It's too bad because everything is there to make this VN very good.
(just a few glitches in some animations and some errors in music/sound naming).
I like the idea/risk of pregnancy even if it's not happening in the end, so the choice of cumming inside is just mandatory for me. But you'll never get that in this game even after 30 chapters and it's a shame.

In short:

If you like to cum inside, you'll go mad with frustration, so do yourself a favor, and avoid this looooong trip to hell.

But if you don't want to cum inside a girl, like NEVER EVER, this game is for you.

Ok renders. Story was ok then kinda mostly left on the sidelines with updates consisting of mostly just sex scenes that are lately the same old shit over and over, same girls, mostly same positions, and ending with either make a mess on them or make them swallow it, choices don't seem to matter much other than immediate dialog unless you really like blueballing yourself and close some girls' paths like Lily's. Speaking of blueballing, do you prefer to cum inside a girl? Well, in this one that's too bad, as there's never even an option to creampie them and the one time you get to you are being drug raped and are forced to creampie her (of course while probably half-unconscious so you don't even get to enjoy that). In short as of ch29 it should be called The Latest Adventures of Captain Pullout and I'm not sure why people are still subbed to this still when there's better ones more deserving in just about every category. You know an AVN is getting boring when you ctrl+skip the sex scenes too.

the story is good and renders are great but it it lacks variations of sex scenes it is same each time give you the option to pull out and and finish on (fill in blank part of body ) same thing over and over it gets stale . and the story as well as of late has been the same not really moving forward just having tons of sex scenes without advancing the story as much with boring old rinse repeat and lather .
again i liked the game until it is becoming like a rerun of episodes of a show you use to love but grow tired of watching

This game is bad bruv

Single option renpy game
I shock girl for what? We dont fuck, it does not make her more submissive or help her with stress
Idk what the idea of the game maybe its just not my thing
Also game ended after 3 shocks

This game in a nutshell:
"HOLY MONKEYBALLS CUMSTAIN, JESUS CHRIST SAM HAVING TITTLELYWINKS FUCK SACKS"(after every single possible interaction)

Man... Why though lol. It's bad enough every character legitimately throws themselves at the MC (literally he says hello and the female character is like "sup cutie wanna bang me out right here?") but the constant boomer-isms throughout the game of the old 1990s exaggerated goof talk is so overplayed lol. It's like a five year old every single time a woman does anything.

Really dont like being mean in reviews but 80% of the dialogue is just so overblown and borderline creepy in ways. There are things to like in the game but the writing has to be somewhat believable to an extent and if anyone ever talked like that, they would scare everyone away from them lol. Its almost a poetic irony that MC dresses in Tim's baggy jeans and a white t-shirt but talks like he's a 52 year old virgin.

To be fair, if this was expressed in the overview or something that the games meant to be mostly ironic parody of old times or something I'd be a little bit more understanding but the overview comes across serious and interested me into looking into the title.

Every girl magically is better than the last always somehow drains the MC's super-powered balls more than the last, every interaction is the MC saying some over-the-top idiosyncrasy to express how absolutely crazy the situation is like a bad cartoon character. Every character instantly falls at the feet of the MC the second they see him begging him to basically destroy their insides, and shape themselves to his member. A lot of dialogue using terms like "sweetie-pie, honeypot, cutie, sweetheart, princess" etc comes across borderline predatory at times even if not the intention. It's not that bad if its just like a singular petname for a single character but every character younger than MC has a variety of pet names that are typically used in way different circumstances, especially during lewd scenes its just super weird lol, cant wrap my head on that one. This is one where I wouldn't blame anyone for just holding skip and seeing where it goes. I have a pretty low bar when it comes to these stories because I'm easily interested in what people come up with but no matter how hard I tried I'm deep in the red on this one.

If you want a sailor-swearing MC that overly exerts his imaginative dialogue to freak out like a 5 year old on Christmas every time he sees a nipple that also somehow got giga-chad energy that everyone throws themselves at with minimum effort (except the 3 main female cast who are a bit more difficult but completely rewrite their personalities out of nowhere). This might be for you!

sorry but the reviews for this game are way to harsh ok 1st of yes the commstant he he on the end of every sentence is rage inducing .. but that is mostly gone after chapter 5 .. the in begining the writing is god awfull in the way it delivers information .. once again that improves over time ... is there a story here with good characters and a main story arc ... yes and a dam good one at that ... the characters are actually well written ...... as to the constant blue balling .. all i can say to that is bullshit ...stop plaing a game for 3 min them posting bad reviews ppl ... the main family is the usual progress of these type of game and there are side chick to hump ... ... the fact is this dev clearly has never done this before and has never writen .. i also suspect there korean so english probably isnt there 2st language ... so factor all that in and then the devs steady improvment over time ,, i think hes done just fine and i for one actually enjoyed the story and the characters .... yes i know the familt plot ect seems a rip off of another game .. so what ... its entertainment and it entertined me ... so im hitting a solid 3 stars ,,, its not epic .. but its nowere near a crap 1 star game either

Well I planned on leaving a productive review of this game but i simply cant. I quit playing this game in chapter 24 of 26. So here's the good the bad and the ugly.

The Good: I'll get this out of the way early since it'll be the shortest section.
The renders got better over time. I do like most of the character models. I think the main LI's are attractive at least. The animations got slightly better over time as well. And well that's about it...

The Bad: Welcome to the VN where the choices are made up and the points don't matter. This game offers the player the illusion of choice but none of them actually really matter. You WILL be forced to have sexual encounters with fugly side characters you have no interest in. There's a hidden point system in the game for the LI's for some reason even though it doesn't make any difference in the game because you WILL have sexual encounters with all the LI's even if you don't want to. While I did say above that the animations got slightly better over time, they're still awful at best. Also while I do enjoy a good slow build up to sexual relations with "family," to me it makes it feel more natural and somewhat realistic, this game takes way too long for these relationships to build up. I get that in-game its only been like 24 days or whatever but IRL I've been playing this game for what feels like 10+ hours. I'm trying to choke my chicken here and I've got dozens of other games to play lets get this show on the road!

The Ugly: MY GOD IS THE WRITING ASS! I'm not lying when i say i skipped 70% of the dialogue in this game. The MC is either a 13 year old boy who has never spoken to a woman before in his life and has watched the movie Deadpool on repeat 150 times OR a 30 year old incel whose watched the movie Deadpool on repeat everyday since it came out. "HOLY FUCKING DICKWAD" , "HOLY FUCKBALLS" , "HOLY FUCKING DONKEY DICK", "HOLY GOD DAMN MONKEY FUCK." Yeah, these are all real things this fucking retard says while he's cumming.

My god the petnames...every other line out of MC's mouth is a goddamn petname. Sweety, sweetheart, princess, queen, goddess, petal. Nobody fucking talks like that....like ever.

At one point in the game Nina tells MC that Bella is trying to get rid of him and what does he do? Well the only logical thing anyone would do, he goes to her room alone with her and promptly gets drugged and raped (by Bella) and captured and gets his ass beat and thrown in a cage. THEN they go back home (which I assume would be thousands of miles away) Bella shows up on his doorstep and instead of having the option to tell her to fuck off somewhere, we are forced to take her to a fucking cafe while the mc treats her like a princess. At the very least we had the option to deny her when SHE FOLLOWED MC INTO THE BATHROOM. Unfortunately there will be more Bella content in the future since we couldn't shut her ass down at the door.

Also does MC have short term memory loss? They all get home from vacation and find the house was trashed and everybody is all like "who could've possibly done this?" I DUNNO MAYBE THE FUCKING CARTEL YOU'RE RUNNING FROM? MAYBE THE CREEPY DUDE YOU SAW HIDING IN THE BUSHES IN THE BACK YARD. MAYBE THE SKETCHY COPS WHO INTERROGATED YOU ABOUT YOUR PARENTS RANDOMLY.

IN CONCLUSION. This game sucks unless you really enjoy being an MC with too many chromosomes and also like janky animations and the illusion of choice. I could go on forever about this stupid game but this is probably more than most people will read.

EDIT: WHY THE FUCK IS THE GAME KEEPING SECRETS FROM ME: THE PLAYER? There's a whole sub-plot in this game where MC finds out Megan knows some secret about MC's parents and whatever fucking business they were involved in and, with the help of Nina, MC discovers what it is. Later on there's a whole scene where MC confronts Megan about it but they never say what it is. WHY? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF WAITING TO LET THE PLAYER KNOW THIS SECRET? Since I skipped a fuck load of the dialogue I assumed I just skipped over it and didn't care but after reading a bunch of other reviews, apparently the game just didn't say what it was.

Way too much blue balling for long parts of this game. Characters act like they are mentally retarded making the "hihihi" laughing at everything a lot. Also can't avoid certain characters - the way things go is too much like a kinetic novel without having any real branching. Overall below average. Also, too much handjob/blowjob and always that fucking pulling out instead of creampieing.

I'm going to have to give up on this VN. It was already average before latest up date.

Yet another MC who has a base ball bat for a dick. More over compensating.

Lily's boobs were already bigger than I prefer, the aunt's were way too big. Then along comes Falisha or something like that, whose boobs are so big they're nasty looking, strike 2. Time and gravity are not going to be kind.

I don't mind slow burns but waiting on things to progress with Nina and Lily has gotten frustrating and as I said another woman who is very unattractive is tossed in instead of more content with Nina and Lily.

The whole forced sex with Bella when she drugged him wasn't necessary. Drugging is one thing but the sex scene simply wasn't needed. She rapes the MC then has the audacity to show up on his door step and later wants sex in a bathroom. Are you kidding?

Another pet peeve is not having the option for a cream pie rather than a body shot, pregnancy be damned. Frankly I'd rather have that than a body shot.

This VN finally pushed my patience too far. It's too bad, in the beginning I really thought it could be a good one.

Story and visuals aren't bad but the dialog in the sex scenes is terrible, the MC speaks to the girls like they're his grandchildren with shit like "Can I lick your penis?"...."Of course you can, Sweetie"

Well just got through the current content. I have to say amazing work. I loved it. Sure it wasn't perfect. I can name a few complaints but that is said with just about any VN on this site. The good out weighs the bad by far. The lighting could be better. Not letting the player know what the MC knows in chapter 17? Was it? The lesbian hitting on Megan, Her getting drunk and leaving MC blue balled then him having to finish off by him self "Of course she said he could use her to finish off" while she slept was creepy. That kinda killed the vibe for me. But the good picked right back up next day so no biggie. All in all i liked it very much. An easy 4/5 stars could be a 5/5 if those things i mentioned was fixed. Excellent writing by the way author has talent. I like the MC he's not a dumb, horny teenager like most VNs. Good character i think. I love all the main Li's I would definitely recommend to any one that loves Romance.
