Ren'Py - Thirty Days [v0.09.05M Full] [3DRComics]

I went into this with a fairly closed mind. Thinking it'd just be another pedo-bait, with unbelievable overly innocent and childlike female LIs.

But I was wrong. Characters are pretty good, and believable. Art style is great and it's not a continual fuck-fest, but strikes the balance for a good fap and a good read.

Will follow closely as there's great room for it to grow and develop.

This game is frustrating because so much of it is so good--great renders and animations, outstanding story, and the characters are hawt. But, damn, this writer needs an editor in the worst way. He doesn't know the difference between "to" and "too" or between "there" and "their", or "I" and "me", or "your" and "you're" or "sense" and "since" or even "of" and "have"; and every other sentence starts or ends with "anyways" making me want to scream.

Very much worth playing, but I wish the dev would find an editor, or at least a proofreader.

3,5 years of development and very nice teaser
wish i have waited more before playing this...
overall amazing game and in 16 years it could be a masterpiece

This my new favorite avn. Alexis is hot. HOT. I have a major issue with games in general where the women don't look real. Ridiculously big boobs, butt etc. When developers make these features small they often do so in a way that attempts to ride the fine line of regulation. Thirty Days is not the game. You have women that border on being physically possible in the real world. They're hot. They're reasonable. They're undeniably good looking. I'm super pumped to see what comes next

Version: v0.09.01M.POL
I played through to Day 9 (end of current content) on the Male MC path. Did not play the Female MC path.


Thirty Days purports to be heavily choice-driven, but I find it to be much more linear due to what I will refer to later as the Critical Flaw (shortened to CF). I'll put a [CF] in areas where this causes issues either directly or as a natural consequence.

Let's get some details of the VN established. Take them as a pro or con as you will.

This gets us to what I believe is the Critical Flaw.

Some negatives:

• The transitions are slow. Any time it moves from one image to another, it's quite slow even if it doesn't need to for pacing.
  • It gets to the point that you're spamming the next button
  • There are also some montages with panning images. These are also slow
• MC needs constant re-affirmation of consent. Like, unnecessarily so
  • There are instances where someone asks him to do something. MC will clarify about half a dozen times beforehand that "they are sure" and that "they're okay/want this," and then about half a dozen times during and after as well. Important for the story that he doesn't just bulldoze over them? Sure. Pissing them and me off by constantly asking? Don't need it
• The Jackie storyline is jarring

• The writing has a lot of grammatical mistakes. I was tempted to make a mod that just fixes the grammar problems.

Conclusion: Worth a play.
It requires a suspension of reality, but it feels like it's intended to be a more lighthearted story and not a strictly realistic drama. I wish there were more days available at the time of writing.
I like most of the characters and the way they express their personalities, and while the MC can get on my nerves a bit but not to the point it makes me hate him.

While I do enjoy not missing out on stories/scenes, I wish the decisions could lead to different scenes and options. At present it is ultimately pretty linear.
I think it is worth playing in its current state with the understanding that a great deal of improvements should be made to it.

Game version: [v0.09.01M.POL]

This game writes a bunch of checks it doesn't cash. It draws you in with the character creation where you can pick being the creepy uncle and it talks about stats like Perversity and Corruption, but whatever you pick it's just really a by the numbers incest game no matter what you do. And even as the "creepy uncle" your MC acts like a shy schoolboy with some of the worst incest cuck dialogue I've ever seen ("Oh no, I can't be thinking about my niece this way, oh golly!") Like, you're supposedly the fucked up uncle with the young stripper girlfriend but all your interactions with women are like the most beta shit ever where even when they're throwing themselves at you your guy is like "oh no, should I really be doing this?!!?!?!?"

One of the first interactions you have is you can make like a belittling comment about your niece's small tits and the girls even have like a stat like Self Image or Body Image or whatever it was and it goes down when you do that. And I thought "neat, you can like undermine their confidence to aid the corruption" but actually that is not a thing at all, because like 5 minutes later you are forced to say something like "oh I'm sorry I called them small, your tits are so perfect!!!!"

I already thought this game was doomed when I saw it had character creation with like three different guy options and the option to play as a girl. This shit never works out because it's just too much work and people will get annoyed that updates are 10 minutes long because you have to do content for multiple routes. But you don't even make good content that corresponds to the route. This is literally another random incest game with a shy schoolboy MC who starts stuttering when he sees a boobie.

SERIOUSLY OUTSTANDING..

I don't know how I have not seen this game before!...

For months we have been awash in a sea of awful NTR content, so finding this game was like a breath of fresh air!

The Story is great and engaging.
The visual story telling is outstanding even though you do have to read a bit to really follow the plot.
Character Setup is a nice choice.
Girls are great models ( am assuming this is DAZ based.)
Sex is hot..

really I have nothing but great things to say about this title..

Dev... ! you rock

Update:

Ok I just had to come back and add a little specifics as to why this game is so great.

It's not just the visuals but the attention to detail that is astounding.

The writing and storytelling are engaging yes.

But the visuals really make this game pop.

The choice of Camera angels and scene composition really outstanding.
Facial expressions on the girls, eye movement, lip movement. Its all really really nicely done. and it even gets better as the story progresses.

The choice of when to use closeup and ultra closeup is spot on. Every sex scene ( and highly emotional scene for that matter ) really convey the feelings the characters are experiencing. I rarely see this level of detail in AVNs.. seriously this may be my favorite game of the year.!

I like to check out every game that comes out. It helps me learn how to better my own work. Usually I skip through the story, look at the UI, listen to the music, read some of their dialogue which is almost ALWAYS attrocious... But I gotta say, I stuck around with this one. I wasn't even skipping the dialogue I was pretty invested. Great writing. It's not too pretentious in the seriousness of itself, but it's not lacking feeling and emotion either. And it stayed grounded in reality.

The renders were good. Character models are decent. But I can tell you did a LOT of manual posing, and it shows. I really appreciate that extra work.

But what brought me here to make a post was the music. Fucking NAILED it across the board. First time I've played a visual novel where I felt like the developer spent hours picking the right songs for each moment. Bravo dude. I don't have time to play this whole game but from what I did play, up to the AVA sex stuff, I give it a solid 4.5 out of 5.

A long time ago, I had my eye on this game, and after hearing all the amazing things people were saying about it, I decided to give it a try. Overall, I can say that I liked it, but personally, there are many things that need improvement. First, the issue with the hands of the main female character—her hands are literally those of a man, just with painted nails, and for me, that really takes away from the immersion. Second, the excessive number of characters. This wouldn’t be a problem in another game, but remember that the story takes place over 30 days, and the more characters there are, the less development the others can have, or at least that’s how I see it. Third, the NSFW lesbian scenes in the female route—I found them pretty bland compared to other games.


But there were also things I liked. Alexis is a really good character (and I almost wish the game was just about her). The scene of Kayla’s first time was very well done, and the background music was perfect for the moment. I also like that you can choose your relationship with the girls, whether it's uncle/aunt, cousin, or family friend (though I didn’t feel like it changed much, aside from a few different dialogues). There is potential, and I truly hope the developer learns from their mistakes and gives us an incredible game.

Enjoyed it, and I'm off to pledge. Looking forward to more. Note that I only played the lesbian route, so ymmv if you go another way.

Pros:
* Art quality is high. The girls are gorgeous.
* Body types suit my tastes - fit young women for the most part, no chubby-chasing here.
* Female MC is fully developed. Some games that have that option clearly do not play-test the fem route very hard, the sex scenes are just recycles of the male route with a strap-on mentioned, etc. Not here, if I hadn't seen the choice I'd have thought this was the only route. If you want a game with a incestuous schoolgirl cousins and no naked dude parts cluttering up the screen, look no further.
* Writing isn't bad. It's tough to balance a porn storyline with believability, but the writer does a reasonable job. The characters act human and the motivations feel reasonable.

Cons:
* Needs an editing pass, badly. It's not "google translate" bad, but it's pretty sloppy. I get the vibe the writer is one of these guys who doesn't spell well so he assumes that typos and grammar fuckups don't bother anyone else either.
* The dev isn't milking, but the releases do take time. It's an image-heavy Daz game, so the release schedule is not anything like the kind of monthly clockwork the better Illusion guys can pull off.

This game has a lot going for it. The renders, story and point system are all above average. The ability to choose the MC, while not wholly original, is implemented well. There does appear to be a high level of player agency with the choices you make. I’d recommend downloading the walkthrough to assist with the choices.

One critique is the animations. They flow quite well, but the camera angles are baffling. It’s so odd - you can tell the animations are very good, but you don’t have the ability to really see them that well. You see the back of an LI’s head, close up on face or one body part. It really degrades all the build up and excitement of the moment. It is all pov all the time. If the Dev would simply pan out once in awhile, this game would be top 5% easy.

So, four stars on the strength of the story, renders and UI. Some games can ride their animations with a crap story. This is the opposite - but for the constant POV of specific body parts in the H scenes this would be, so far, a great game.

Cut off at least half side characters would make the game much better, in term of story and time on development. Like mostVN itsintroducing too many characters with dull content, while the game have a interesting core story line to make relationship with the twins in 30 days. I hope the Dev turn the table around and focus on what really important, the game could be much better.

Firat off, the quality of expressions was really 5/5 so a good job on those details, top notch!
Unfortually the rest is really lacking.
The characters while being somewhat unique are also too much alike.
The sex scenes are somewhat clumsily executed and not appealing to me visually 9/10 times.

The story is bareable but for me it quickly becomes dull when mixed with the dialogues that are painfully boring most of the time and to top it off the English is pretty bad.
I would give this game 3/5 if just the typos and dialogue was improved.

Played for an hour or two now.

The story is simple: you take care of some 18 year old twin-girls and their daily life while their mother is absent.
You meet their friends, talk with em and so forth...

The girls are very pretty, the scenes are immersive, dialoges are mostly worth reading since it's about deeper thoughts or what's actually happening between the characters that are around - no meaningless blabla or far-fetched bullshit.

What makes it even more worthy is that the expressions are VERY well done here!
And so are the scenes.
Impressive work!
Defnitely a skilled one

Music is also implemented and mostly unique and enjoyable, but as already stated it's sometimes really misplaced.
Anyway, it's better than no music or some cheap stuff.

I played a bit further now and i'm still excited about the quality of this game.
Pretty good job!

This Dev should be supported!


* i have just seen the review from LittleSisterLover and have to agree to the mentioned technical issues and story-incoherences.
But since all that has not affected my personal experience enough to stay in the foreground or be rememberable at all, and many other things - that are more important to me - are very well done, i still give a 4* here.
Even if all that should be fixed, sure.

Honestly this might be one of the hottest game I have ever played. I only played the "uncle-route", maybe I try out the other routes when the game is finished. The girls in this game are all fleshed out characters and look very nice. Every scene with them feels very taboo in nature what makes it all the better (only exception is the girlfriend, her scenes are pretty boring but she isnt arround most of the time). Its a believable corruption game, the girls wont jump onto you immediatly but you can instantly feel their affection and the story progression is always steady and smooth. You can feel that some mechanics were changed in the progression of the story and therefore appear and get dropped as the game continues. Still none of that feels disrupting or annoying in nature. Its a enjoyable ride till the end of this update and there are some nice choices here and there. The game feels decently kinky, maybe (and hopefully) there will be even more in the future.

So yeah its a great game.

Also the song in the main menu is somehow kinda good. I stayed in the menu to listen to the full song, something I have never done before.

Excellent game, with great story, high quality renders, branching storyline (and both genders protagonist) and really nice female models.

The only issues are a lack of proofreading, and the slow pace of updates. I considered taking one star for those, but I don't feel that would be fair. This is definitely one of the best games on the site.

A great game and story!
So why the poor rating ? The key of immersion is choices in lewd scenes and there are NONE!
It's sad to have such a great project with scenario, graphics and so on, and failed to give immersion by the 101 of the genra.
Hope it gets corrected and then it will be a full 5 Stars!

I'm really enjoying Thirty Days! The story has me hooked, especially because the characters are so interesting. All the girls are definitely standouts, they are gorgeous.

Graphics:
The models are gorgeous, and the environments are nice as well. For me 10/10

Story:
The story has me hooked.(Personally, I like pregnancies and Raising Children.) For me 10/10

Characters:
Characters are beautiful especially Jackie For me 10/10

Overall 10/10 For me
Thirty Days! is a game worth playing, in my opinion. I really recommend. All the girls are definitely standouts. they are gorgeous.

So far, I’ve found the main girls to be sweet, with a couple of the side girls being decidedly less so, and a bit more in your face. For the main girls at least, your choices will determine some of that though, and so far, you can reject the advances of all the side girls, if you wish.

There’s a decent stats system, with affection, humour, corruption, perversion, arousal, the girls’ self-image, and how much they like you (some of which are helped by the character choice you make at the start of the game!).

Overall, although it’s early (reviewing at the end of Day 7), I’m liking this game and looking forward to continuing it.

+ renders are ok
+ animations, but nothing spectacular
+ no lesbianism on male route

- uninteresting characters and conversations between them
- MC is annoying wimp, sometimes i really can't stand him
- music doesn't suit a lot of scenes
- boring lewd content written without passion. You can literally fall asleep
- story

Hard to say anything positive, definitely overrated avn. 2 stars from me
