VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Tokyo Hotel [v1.0] [Naughty Neko]

Version 1.0 reviewed.

No story of substance, just sex scenes of varying quality. Good for a quick fap and to showcase the devs impressive technical skills.


Pros:

1- Scene one might have the best visuals I have seen in an AVN. Absolutely stunning.

2- There is voice but it is actually decent.

3- All of the girls are attractive.

4- Besides the top notch animations the renders and set design are very well done.

Cons:

1- No real story to speak of and the quality declines after the first scene, leading me to believe that it was done over a period of time and possibly by different people.

2- The implementation of a dress up mini game added little value and probably could have been left out.

3- Very short. Can click through it in about 20 minutes.

Final verdict - Semi hard.

A technical marvel lacking any real substance. It's pretty much just a tool to showcase the dev's excellent technical skills and to have a quick fap.

If this dev can actually write a story then it will be top notch considering how gifted he/she is from a visual standpoint.

There is no story just several random scenes with too much clicking.
The girl dressed as maid in the beginning is ok but that's all.
Skipping mindless dialogues you will reach the end in 15 minutes.
The choices don't matter at all. This should be marked as KINETIC
I am shocked the dev dared to set the price at 13$

This game is great
but many times it isn't great

Cons:
too much clicking
Some sex vids behind lazy and boring minigame
girls seems very plastique
game looks as it was AI-assisted
Voice acting also sounds a bit robotic
There are not enough video render and author adds clicking fillers
Choices doesn't seems to do anything
game want you to click in weird places to continue
nothing gets wet and there is no lubrication for sex or from sex

What i like:
Quick sex action
Cat-Maid, game won me in 1st few minutes showing the best it had
Sex is in rather safe and pure forms, excluding purple hair weirdo posing in impossible for lady to take alone and withstand for long dicking position
some of this sex interactions are hot, but it feels a bit dry
author greatly utilize and seems to be skilled at renpy engine

Summary: give it a shot, animated fuck 3 girls game with VA and some clicking

Good quality renders, pretty poor voice acting, annoying clicking maraton where your forced to click some weird red square on the screen to move forward in dialogs and some times its hard to find it, its absolutly idiotic and pointless..

First girl you meet is waiting for her boyfriend? in the apartment you apprently share with a friend and the boyfriend is 3 hours late which is apparently enough for the girlfriend to fuck MC and for the MC to fuck the girlfriend of hes friend that he lives with?

Thats the level of story you have in this one, its 100% pure porn logic and while there are choices they dont do anything what so ever, girl takes out MCs dick and give him a BJ and you cant say no, its just a pure fuckfest which to me is the most boring kind of games.

The animations are poor as well, not the quality but its the one click type thing with 0 dialogs when the animation are there which makes them feel flat and emotionless.

Then theres mini games/puzzle which are purely there to annoy you, even doing sex scenes puzzle can cover the girl so you cant see shit, its weird and stupid and adds nothing to the game.

2 stars is only due to decent animations which i dident even enjoy watching due to mini games.

PROS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Good looking models, LIs look really good.
2. World visuals are nice, renders are good and there are good details, I can appreciate the effort.
3. Animation quality is very good, often short but really high quality and done well.
4. Small visuals, camera movements and such make for good effects.
5. Voice acting is actually decent all things considered and doesn't sound like AI, if it is then its a step up for sure. The attempted French accent is purposefully poor I believe as its an act within the game so I am not critiquing that.
6. Writing is not bad either, nothing exceptional, but does the job, too the point.
7. Sounds are generally pretty good, from interactive and lewd scene sounds. Well done. Nice detail to have sounds change per animation and scene so not just a loop of the same stuff.
8. Lewd scene right off the bat, which is nice, if a bit sudden and based on total rubbish plot/scene setup.

CONS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. The button, or interaction icons are annoying and kinda pointless, they don't do anything apart from creating delay and hampering flow of scenes. Plus they sometimes really hard to see...
2. MC interaction/choice options seem very basic, shallow and dull. Almost like the dev put interactions in for sake of having them instead of any real meaning e.g. Rin: "...fishnets special. They have cutouts on the butt cheeks." MC: "you looking stunning" or "yeah" <-- WTF "yeah"
3. Choices don't seem to really matter, e.g. player looks away or not, its the same.
4. There is no story, no plot, its all about the MC screwing characters left and right, flat out porn logic and again, makes it feel like a tech/skill debut more than an actual "game".
5. No indication of stats with LIs or how choices affect them.
6. Not a big fan of "mini games" or puzzles in general, so having them lock out certain videos unless completed is annoying. At least its not paid for content!

OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't)

• The clickable icons/buttons are a wasted effort in some instances. Works fine if you had multiple options, but its not the case in each scene where they are used. When there is only one option its pointless and also the colouring makes it hard to see the interactive location/icon.
• Dialogue options for MC are not very good, they almost added like an afterthought to create some interaction or sense of choice, but they worded poorly, make no sense and the responses from the person are often the same irrespective of the response...so why bother...?
• This AVN is not a novel its more of tech and skill debut/demo IMO, the creator clearly has skills when it comes to visuals and even audio, but clearly didnt care about a story or plot and somehow, using this wonderful technology and abilities, managed to kinda screw up creating any kinky plot or anything really sexy. Eye candy being one thing, but unless you create a good narrative, its all just porn and that you can simply google for...

TLDR:

Very good on a technological side of things. Visually very good, great even, audio is also damn impressive, voice acting is done pretty well also. UI/UX can use some work though to not create "obstacles" like mini games, or slow progress, especially when they not meaningful and simply create busywork. The same with dialogue options, they pretty much pointless and have little to any effect on the outcome. The plot is non-existent, but if you into the eye candy, its very good.
