Ren'Py - Completed - Toro 7 [Ep. 7] [Tora Productions]

At the time of this review the game is at EP 2.

Ok, this game is amazing. I can not rate it less than Excellent.
Mystery games can be extremely thrilling when done right, and this game is one good example of it.
You are put in a mystery scene, and everything is so perfected and well done that it feels very absorbing and ends up feeling very real, as if you really are the main character.
The atmosphere is also top-notch complete sci-fi and absorbing, if you like sci fi this game is a must.
The characters are each unique and interesting and you really get the feeling of wanting to know them better (and perhaps something more ).
At the same time each of these characters and your daily experience through the scene adds information for you to solve the mystery, which you will be hungry to solve.
Renders are amazing 10/10.
This game is definitely a must if you are a mystery/detective fiction enjoyer.
This game is also a must if you are a sci fi enjoyer.
Other than that , I highly recommend this game to all of you who are curious about it or want to dabble over these genres I mentioned, you will not regret it.

I will certainly come back and review this game after new episodes.
Have a good day.

Good start, but we are talking about Tora here so I'm not surprised. As always I'm actually reading things and not just skipping to the naughty parts, which is nice among games around here. But I also wanted to correct last reviewer so nobody gets wrong information. There are sex scenes in this already and more to come.

Ps. Mortze bush is the best. Would be great if more games/developers understood the glory of the natural female body. But then again, maybe it wouldn't feel so special then if everybody did it...

As always brilliant writing from Tlaero and nice graphics from Mortze. The game is quite short, no h scenes for now. You are a security officer on a station on Jupiter's moon Europa. You replace a previous officer that died, or as crew suspects was murdered.

The story is captivating, characters are interesting and believable. Can't wait to play finished game. Graphically its above average, cant say much more for now but have a good feeling about it. Additional plus for putting action on my favourite moon Europa.

In summary, just an intro but looks it will be a great game. I've come to expect that from Tlaero and Mortze!

Pros: Visually stunning, lifelike characters, intriguing plot, unusual setting.

Cons: So far none.

Just play it. For now it's short enough and small enough to not take too much of your time and it's most definitely not going to be wasted.

The subject matter of the visual novel is somewhat at odds with the narrative. Various characters are introduced by focusing on their sexuality and the necessity to be open and tolerant towards each other. Which is admirable. However, it is not really explained why there is such a high level of tolerance in a world where big corporations run everything who care so little about individual fates. In this respect the plot feels artificial, like an educational mandate from the narrator rather than a logical conclusion of the story.
I think it would be a bit presumptuous to deduct one star for that. Somehow you have to appreciate the amount of work that goes into a project like this. And I don't just mean the rendering and the artistic side of things, but also the writing of dialogue and the development of a coherent story with decisions that matter. All of this has turned out great. It's just a peculiarity of Toro 7 that I want to point out because it irritates me.

Solid plot that when written the right way, it could be something. Amazing renders (the staging and blocking of some is awkward but some are really well done). The main character needs more development especially the background info (maybe flashbacks but there is a better way). Annoying thing was the forced inclusion scene (can smell it was shoved there for some reason a mile away) better tone that shit down or remove it; therer's no middle ground. (It is a porn game ffs! no one is here to be lectured)

Ambitious, but I hope the episodic format won't kill it. I know it will take long to finish and the content will be delayed because the dev will certainly try to appeal to everyone and aim high in terms of stuff to add. Hope it won't be abandoned.

overall impression: A good game that needs to focus on making the characters more fledged out and make sure the narrative goes in the right direction. In addition, it must check its goals before it crumbles on itself because of ambition.

that game has potential. really nice quality - great renders and i LOVE blond busty stephanie. (i think thats her name) and thats brings me to my personal criticism. the game info tells me i can play either male or female and chose romance options - i REALLY hoped to play as blond busty stephanie... i am really sad i just could play the for me least attractive woman... and also i have personally a old/young kink and couldnt find at least one male crew member who is an old man. i know this is personal stuff but its none the less my opinion and my hopes i had when i installed the game - to see at least one romancable old man and to play optional as blond busty stephanie... so even i don't want to deny that the game has potential and has great quality, i am still really sad and it seems the game isn't for me then.

Pros:
- great renders
- interesting setting
- nice english
- sexy blond busty steph

Cons:
- less options that expected
- couldn't play as blond busty steph
- only young and either good looking or plain looking characters
- no optional old man romance option for blond busty steph

Toro 7 [Ep 0]

Good start. This one is episode 0 so basically a introduction to the game. So gameplay is short. You can play as straight man, straight woman, or lesbian woman. Renders are decent. MC's is appointed as a security guard for toro 7 station. Well may be we think this one is happening on space station that's were these guys surprises us this one is happening on under water facility.
There is also built in walkthrough for player's convenience. Even though writing style I prefer dialogue exchanges. But this one is good too.

Overall it's a good start. Keep up the good work Devs. Looking forward to next updates

As of Ep. 0, I think this game has a lot of potential to be pretty dang good. I like the concept (kind of a VN version of Subnautica) Going to keep an eye on this game and see how it turns out. Good work with the intro.

While I will be honest here that I prefer the more organic approach to sexuality over the declaration of it at the beginning of a game, this is still a very strong intro. What appeals to me the most is the that there is a mystery to be solved and not just lewd scenes, the atmosphere in this game is dark and foreboding and gives you that "confined space with endless emptiness all around you" vibe which reminds of movies like "The Abyss" and the characters seem rich in personality. What I would hope and wish for is, that this game has a bit of length so that you can really immerse into this world and have some meaningful and lasting interactions with decisions to be made and enough agency that you can feel yourself in all of this. But the initial promise is strong and convincing.

This game looks great and the murder mystery in an underwater facility is a super interesting premise. All the characters look great and even with the limited time we spend with them in the demo, they seemed unique and interesting.
I love how the VN gives us gender and sexuality preference upfront. I also has a conveniently built in walkthrough best option indicators.
