VN - Ren'Py - Onhold - Twisted Memories [v0.8b] [BaiBai]

Honestly, there isn't much action. But there is also nothing else like this game. As a fan of pure aesthetics, this was simply dreamlike. The characters make such a deep impression on you in such a short time it's actually unreal.

Mediocre, but fun

Worst thing about the game is by far the protagonist. He's introduced as this middle aged degenerate who couldn't get anywhere in life, and presented as a wannabe womanizer who happens to be too ugly to score. But upon going back to the past his flaws of character basically get reduced to that of a horny teenager.
Worse still, he's a horny teenager only in so far as the story needs him to be, because as soon as it is convenient he is suddenly a very charming, thoughtful person whose allegedly shit life still gave him whatever skill he needs to impress the girls around him in any given situation.
It's a bad way to build him up as a likable protagonist, especially because not enough happens to endear him to the player.

Apart from that, the game is fine. It's as tropey and cliched as you probably expected from the tags.
The girls are kind of generic but they're developed ok.
The dialogue is good, even if there are many instances of broken english. It does constantly tell the reader directly what the girls are thinking mid conversation, which I particularly dislike as a crutch, but it's not too bad.

All in all a solid 3/5

Thats as excellent game. Story deep enaugh to keep you interested. Characters with depth to them and each and every girl/woman in this game is damn good looking.

I tought that it was another incest game like many out there but there is something different about it. Choices are simple to make but they all have impact on the game and how the story progress in the long run. The only problem I have is that I only played 4 hours of it into the night. I was curious at midnight.. got hooked and played it for 4 hours straight right before work. Damn poor choice of timing..

Either way. If you aren't into incest then there are much more interesting girls to explore than just your family.

I have seen that dev only has few subscribers so I will join his subscriber list pretty soon. At least I will try because I can't activate my account for now due to bug...

Happy Fapping!

I didn't expect such an emotional story with such well fleshed out characters when I went into this game. The girls look amazing, the story makes you feel things, and the characters have me much more invested than in most other VNs. It's been somewhat of a slow burn so far, but that isn't a bad thing imo since it lets you get more invested in the characters and story while it teases you leaving you excited for when fun times do happen.

I've played maybe a few hundred games and don't have a taste for visual novels. But this. Man. The story is good, but the characters and the emotions you can feel are amazing. I didn't even think about masturbating, the only thing that kept me going was the story and the characters.
And above all, the novel awakened some inner thoughts in me. I really wanted to be a good brother/friend to these girls. I am still amazed.

What an unexpected delight! I Just genuinelly played a whole lot of hours reading a well writen story! I am surprised with the lack of subcribers. Please support this.

Characters are deep and belivable. This is exactly what I want from slow burn games. Those expressions just mmmm. I want more.

Very pleasantly suprised by this game. Looking forward for the next update, and already supporting it. I am curiuos about how fast the updates will be delivered in future updates.
The girls are all very hot.

Updated: Sex scenes are insane in this game for my taste.

[v0.3]
Man, this game is just... nice, you know?

Went in expecting a standard 'corrupt everyone' game, but it turned out to be a well written, or at least well characterized, do-over fantasy

The main character is not just the typical cynical ugly bastard NTR man, they actually seem nice and want good things to happen to people as well as to bone down on them?

the rest of the characters also feel fleshed out and not just there for the fetish tick boxes. Or maybe im reading too much into it but there is something about the writing and story thats struck a chord with me

It is nice that everyone seems to be nice and caring, whilst still being believable as character, and also with no caveat of corruption magic or gamified relationship mechanics
Not that corruption magic or gamified relationship mechanics are necessarily a bad thing, just a nice change of pace from what ive been playing

Renders and character models are great and expressive, even if some of the male models are a bit dorky looking

Whilst there is a lack of H-scenes currently, I honestly think the game still stands up on its own as a Visual Novel

Is good, would recommend

Love it! What everyone is saying about this is true, it is great and I'm very excited to see more! At this moment, it is still in the build-up phase, but the pace is pretty good I think. It feels believable without unnecessarily stretching it out too much.
The scene with Stephanie was mild but pretty hot and is like a teaser of what is to come! Thumbs up from me!

As v0.3 this is a 5-star game, nice models and even though there's lacking H content but that's ok once you see the pace and the way the author is building the story, probably this will be a porn game with story and for the moment choices matters in some routes.

I really like this game for several reasons:

1. It has very nice graphics, just not the standard inventory/scenes.
2. It has wellwritting characters, ofcourse reflecting most of the known pornstereotypes/tropes, nonetheless it fleshes them out better than others. Even if the game is restricted to the number of characters available at current (0.3), then its still likely to be quite enjoyable.
3. It makes good use of the VN form, advancing a solid, albeit wellknown, tagline, with a few twists, which is nice. It doesn't complicate the game unnescesarily, and while choices are reflected in points, it remains to be seen of certain point requirements are needed to unlock different scenes later in the game. Even if that were to be the case, I would probably just start over, which is not something I do with a lot of games.

Good luck BaiBai, judging from your subscribestar you seem have a pretty good handle on gamedevelopment and you seem to know where you want to take the game. That we're not going to see a slow decline towards "I don't know what I want with this project" is very comforting.

Cookie-cutter premise, unexpectedly well executed.

There's a lot of inner monologue here but it all makes sense. The corruption arc looks set to 'slow but steady'. The dialogue is lively and any dev who can wedge in mention of two utilitarian philosophers gets a vote from me. You can see what the render style is: HS with a breast obsession. Sexy costumes, sexy girls, all after the same fashion. Should be well worth following.

Wow if this game continues to develop like it has so far in no time it will be an outstanding game, I can even see this being top-tier in little time. The models, artwork, are great the characters are extremely attractive if you're into HS, the entertainment from them in later updates will be huge. The writing is also superb the creator (BaiBai) is going for a sorta serious style which is what I like to see, I hope it doesn't get too wacky, I like games grounded maybe 70 % in reality. Well if humanity is kicking about in maybe a year or two and the creator keeps at it, this game is going to massively popular without a doubt.

Really good! Writing is fresh and clean (no engrish), protagonist relatable, art seems original too. Did not expect it to be this wholesome. The breasts have kinda crazy proportions, but that's the only negative I can come up with. Hope the dev keeps it up!

the character designs were excellent and I was really shocked at how wholesome the story was. The MC was probably one of my favorites out of all the games I've played. There were a few typos here and there but other than that the game is pretty much perfect.

I am shocked by how much I enjoyed it, it was hit after hit with the character designs, their personalities, looks and the writing, most impressively of the main character!

I really enjoyed it a lot and look forwards to more, I wish the dev all the best and lots of success going forwards!

Wow, what a roller coaster. This is suprisingly wholesome. Maybe I am playing it wrong but wow. In all my life never imagine a tagg with UB been a emotional roller coaster. Great job looking forward to the future updates.

Love the premise. Love most of the designs and character dynamics but I have a bad feeling that this might be a case of a developer being really good at setup/lead-up/foreplay/etc. but maybe when it actually comes down to the content scenes, they'll just be pretty mediocre/bland. I really hope not. I really hope I'm wrong. It's still very early to tell. There's currently not really any content and even the setup is pretty hot/erotic (although I wish there was some content). I do wonder if it'll have pacing issues where it's like every character is slow to start and every character gets to content toward the end which isn't exactly fun, at least to my taste and can feel pretty slow for a long time. I do generally think because a lot of erotic games are all being done by 1 person that a lot of erotic games have 1 aspect that's really its strength. Some games are really amazing visually but pretty mediocre in character dynamics/content scene writing and inspiration/pacing etc. or some of the games made with this engine that makes pretty good anime style visuals have either developers that are really good about one aspect of writing but lacking in others like good with setup/build up but not so good with the actual content scenes (and they just end up feeling like cheap porn scenes) or like they're really good character dynamics and story/pacing but weak on tone/style. I totally understand that it's asking a lot for 1 developer to be an expert in all aspects which isn't really what I'm expecting. But I do think erotic games are ultimately about the quality of the content scenes (which there are none yet) so that's why I give it 4 stars. I'm interested to see how this goes. It's definitely a good setup/character dynamics but even like the character Stephanie I thought had a really nice character dynamic as this really horny/pervy "provacative" kinda guy friend in a hot girl's body personality which I think can have fantastic scenes but it's like even in the intro it's like what happens with her (becoming this shy girl who really likes the protagonist) is confused writing. Like that's a different character dynamic than what she had going for her. I mean maybe it'll still work out to be really good but idk it's like I was sold on the whole cool girl personality and then what I got was a shy girl arc which can be hot too but it's just I wanted the cool pervy direct/easy girl thing going on. And that kind of potentially "confused writing", does seem like a bad omen to me that maybe this is one of those games where the intro looks really interesting but each update is just increasingly uninspired and kinda meh. I'd be glad to be wrong and look forward to seeing the updates.

Reviews written as of version 0.1 and is subject to change as new versions come out.
This one is a was a pleasant surprise, too bad there is much content.
Short version below. Long at the bottom of the review.

Pros:

• Good looking models (slightly a bit to busty but it's fine)
• Decent story so far. (Only INTRO as of now)
• Good grammar

Cons:

• Nothing as of now

Review:

This one was a very pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't expecting much from it (just a tiny bit from seeing thumbnails) however it came out pretty nicely.
Without further ado let's go!
Models are all good look although a bit on the busty size it nothing to extreme (kinda not?).
So far all girls seems to have their own personality and are not just your Fuckable doll with just a pretty face.
MC as well actually have a proper model and not your usual male template asset, I've seen many and I repeat MANY devs having really good looking female assets but completely neglecting all males, so it's a bit of fresh air regarding this as well.
!!!Spoiler alert!!!
Story so far is decent, nothing mind blowing but also no YadaYada bullshit. At first MC was considering behaving the same way (staying low-key) which some games tend to do but fortunately he decided to act up and not keep waiting for things to fortunately go better and miraculously it does.
At first it gives the impression of MC reincarnating at the same world but with things going favorably in his directions be girls that didn't like him actually caring about him and your typical yadayada, hopefully it's not for now let's hope that it was just the MC not really paying attention to things around him (like most of us did during middle/high school).
The grammar, I didn't notice any mistakes, but then again I was actively looking for it nor is english my native language you will probably find more grammar mistakes in this review then the entirety of this game as of now >.<.

I wish the Dev good luck on the project, keep up the good work!!

Pros:

• Art and models are great, my only concern with these models is how sex scenes will look like. Lazier devs have issues with dick piercing huge tits
• Story is very promising
• Writing style is high quality

Cons:

• I almost never let personal content preferences impact my rating, but the youngest sister is really off-putting for non-loli enjoyers. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to disable content with her via settings if possible.

Things to look out for in future releases:

• There are a lot of female characters MC will fuck. Beginner devs usually try getting MC to fuck them, or balance their stories equally. This often sacrifices dialogue and story quality to get to the absolute number of girls there are to fuck. Dev needs to focus on core characters (fam, teacher, two classmates, or maybe even less than the previous mentioned) if they want to have updates in acceptable time frames without compromising high quality writing and story.
• A lack of variety in Character clothing can really kill the ambiance of a game. Hope dev has some good ideas for outfit ideas that fit the story well.
