Ren'Py Three and One: The Cursed Mansion [v0.26 Public] [Man from icecream van]

[Newbe163]

Started to watch the novel/game somewhere two weeks ago. Was quite some time ago, that I stopped watching and deleted a novel - after the scene in the office where the couple got the temporary permit. The story line is honestly nothing I did expect and the situation, that up to then, there was only one scene in the bar - and the interesting part you need to download and pay in addition - is not what I really enjoy. So only 2 out of 5 points, if I do need to do a rating.

What does this message say?
Do you know what a RAW photo is in the context of photography?

And why does it upset you so much that the game costs money? Sure, this might be a pirate forum and all, but almost every game here is paid. I just opened the first page of the latest updated games (30 of them), and every single one has links to Patreon, SubscribeStar, itch, Steam, or Boosty. These are all paid games.


Maybe you didn’t pay for them - but that’s only because someone else paid for you. So I really don’t get the complaints about a developer offering something exclusively to their patrons — people who go to work every day, bust their asses, and then give part of their earnings to support a creator making a game they enjoy.

most time it is just that a difference of date release and patreon have acess to chat...not sure a lot of dev take risk with of adding extra stuff.So i guess that why he find it strange.

If doesn't make huge change it should not bother...

Well, cutting content out of the game and locking it behind a paywall is generally a bad idea in terms of reputation. People will criticize you - that’s a fact.


I used to have those infamous spam screens during H-scenes, and there was a lot of backlash. In version 0.2, I moved those screens into the gallery, and what did I get? A 50–60% drop in Patreon traffic. And I didn’t see a cheering crowd applauding under my window either.


The takeaway? It’s pretty simple - there’s a category of people who will support a good game regardless of the promised rewards. They love adult games, they understand that development takes resources, and they support creators intentionally and long-term - basically becoming part of the team. They test, help fix bugs, suggest improvements - and I’ve got quite a few awesome people like that.


But we’re talking about dozens of supporters, not hundreds. And to reach a sustainable level of support, you need hundreds. And to get them - you need to lure them in with something tasty.

The game is really good, so I have only a minor complaint about it.
In my humble opinion the minigames are a little bit useless: they are just a sequence of click on the cart, then click on the crates two times (or simply click on the crates) until you have finished the job; which is pretty boring. I have nothing against the minigames, but in my humble opinion they should be meaningful for the game, like a little challenge the character (and the player) must win to advance in the story; like if the MC had actually had to compose the combination of the special case delivered for Ian at the bar.
So, if I would suggest to simplify the future minigames which are irrilevant for the story and adding some real minigames, when the MC has actually to face a challenge.

Actually I have also something to say about Zoe, but I prefer play the game another time, in order to be sure to write something useful.

Thanks for the feedback.


I added the crate-carrying stuff mostly as a joke - the MC job at the bar is meant to be as boring as possible by design.


It doesn’t take that long anyway, and it doesn’t happen too often - it’s not like he works there every day. I might clean it up a bit in the future, but I’m not sure yet. The MC not going to be hauling crates forever.

If your relationship level with her is high enough (for example, if you had the rooftop scene), then before she goes to Bobo’s apartments, there will be a dialogue where you can suggest your own alternative.


And yes, if you run into the time loop issue - download the patched version.

P.s. You’ll need a save from before the loop — before you took the crate to Ian.

That fixed it. Thank you.

I just noticed there is a scene 7 in the gallery. Is there a way to unlock it? hitting 50 with Zoe seems impossible... >.<

You need 50 with Zoe before the game in her room. That's the only requirement. (Then she'll take her top off in the game, and when you meet in the laundry you can tell her she has nice tits). It's not impossible, but you need to get nearly all the points with her iirc.

If I did He can do it too,she is the easiest one.

Yeah, I can't seem to avoid that scene either I finally figured out how to avoid Zoe's encounter but now I'm trying to see if tori can be convinced not to do it in her scene. I pretty much picked all her positive options, but it still happens.

Have at least 50 friend points with Tori when you drop her off. 'Wait' she'll come back out and you can say you don't want other guys groping her and offer to give her 10 gold to give to Bianca. She'll tell Bobo to piss off.

I do pay for several games. But then upfront for the full content available at that time. And yes, F95 brought me to 3 novels/games, which I now support on one of the links you mentioned above. F95 helps me to decide, is this something I like or not. So I fully appreciate the effort people have to put into such a work.

I suppose I felt that the minigame was a little bit boring because it happened in three consecutive days (that and the fact I have played the game part four time in two days), but I understand your purpose and it makes sense.

I get that I just don't know how to score 50 with her I agreed with her on all options and knock on her door every new day, but she still agrees to get groped.

Well, maybe you missed something right from the start?
Offer her a foot massage, swipe the pack of cigarettes from the mayor’s table, don’t let her drink the pusher, take Tori’s side when she argues with Bianca - it’s actually pretty easy to reach 50, since she already has a good attitude toward the MC from the beginning.
