VN - Ren'Py - Twisted Memories [v0.9] [BaiBai]

Good Points
+ Since MC already had a pathetic and terrible life before, with this new chance he is trying his best, not acting like a pathetic loser and acting cool, cold, assertive, and different from his old life by trying to fix his mistakes, not acting like an asshole to some people from past like his little sister, trying to fix the relationship between his sisters and reunite the family again or going against the bullies he had, or how he is using experience and knowledge he had as a middle-aged guy in his young years, etc, gives us good MC to enjoy.
+ The story was interesting as well, especially with MC trying to be a better person and the story revolving around him fixing past mistakes, or remembering how things went down after his mothers got fired from her current job, they almost lost the house, etc, she became sad person unlike before, and he tries to fix this along with other problems, etc, gives us good redemption kind of story with some touching moments along with lewd stuff going on.
+ We have some really hot girls/women like Mrs. Clements or MC's mother or big sister, and thanks to how assertive MC acts and catches them off guard, etc, they can show their cute side time for a time as well, and they are just adorable.
+ We have two routes for every girl/woman, so you can have a bit different approach to girls/women, either go for a seduction route a bit closer to a romance route or you can go for a corruption route, a more sexual route with more dark details, like blackmailing some girls/women, etc. Being one of these routes can change scenes with the girls and give you different dialogues, so variety-wise it's good.
+ Sex scenes are good and have animations with decent physics.

Bad Points
- UI/HUD looks a bit cheap and basic.
- There are lots of visual bugs here and there like clothes not fitting and looking toned, or objects like bags or shoes going inside other textures, or objects like bags or shoes going inside of human body textures, etc, if it's happening only one or two times it would be okay, but it seems it's happening constantly as far I can see, I don't think I was able to count all of them, but I saw at least more than 20 of them.
- Some girls can use some changes, like Emily's face, especially their jaw and mouth look weird, and Stephanie's hair... Jesus her hair looks like a bird nest or something, nearly every girl in the game has at least decent hair, DEV should give her better hair as well.
- Like most games out there with corruption/lust & seduction/love paths this game has a bad balance between sexual scenes as well, corruption/lust has far more action than seduction/love almost makes seduction/love path nothing but a full wall of texts, this game is 2 years in already, seeing this bad balance in 2 years old game is quite a bad point, to be honest.
- Condom thing ruins most of the scenes and makes no sense at all especially getting used even in deflowering scenes, pills exist, but MC said he is against pills and condoms same time... Yeah... Makes lots of sense.
- Even MC is likable in most parts in some parts but his act about dresses, etc, is pretty much nonsense, especially with the existence of love paths it makes no sense he is acting like this even in love paths.
- Girls/Women getting jealous over and over again even for any small thing is a bit annoying trope, their number should have been less.
- Some stuff like dirty pictures of MC's sister on the internet even while on the seduction (love) path was quite nonsense.
- The game is a bit too much slow-burn, heck slow-death maybe better wording here considering the game is 2 years old, we have 6 main girls and 5 side girls, yet MC only had real sex with 1 main girl and done ''just the tip'' sex with another 1 main girl, let alone not need to say best-looking girls/women in the game nearly untouched, with this rate this game will never end. It's quite text-heavy as well, it takes hours to see any action, and after that action, the game becomes text-heavy again, and it's a really boring cycle, to be honest, it would be better if it wasn't this slow-burn or story and sexual content balance was better, sadly with how it is currently the game has very bad balance between story and sexual content.
- The path MC took for earning money wasn't logical, he came from the future, and he should have known enough info to earn money from the lottery, bets, etc, like things, instead, he is going shady business with a random old man's store aphrodisiac business and trying to sell them online, etc, was quite a cliche for a game like this and felt like too out of place especially considering his age and other things about him and story, and since it was really out of place despite all hard work he put Gao, the store owner didn't even take him serious with saying he is a child, and he got frustrated and literally told everything to him, how he was 40 years old dude, how he died, then wake up in his young self, etc, and after talking about it Gao magically believed him and after presenting his plan he made him manager of the store, make him BOSS of his good for nothing grandchild...
- Until the very last part of the game's current content Leo's existence, being MC's ''best friend'' and constantly tagging alone while MC is with his sister or Stephanie, constantly bugging them and not letting the story flow, etc, was quite annoying, heck dude even wanted MC to ask his sister about him if she likes him or not after we just saw him first time, and he was constantly bugging MC about Stephanie and his relationship, how he needed to ask him first, MC ruined his life and he will be alone because of it, and we never even saw he is being nice and friendly to MC, saying things like ''you will screw things up I know because I'm your 'best friend'' to him, etc. Sadly in these ''going back to the past to fix things'' kinds of stories always there is a guy like Leo, a so-called ''best friend'' who doesn't suit MC's new character at all, messes with the flow of the story, with the only purpose of annoying MC and players, etc, so honestly wish he didn't exist and DEV didn't done this cliche. He did become better at very later parts, but still doesn't change how annoying he was, and even with his kind of better version he still is.
- Some girls are straight-up annoying with their stubbornness, like Stephanie's stubbornness with other girls despite MC saying clearly no she is trying to make his dad meet with MC's mother so they can be together or not listening when he says she should stay outside and going inside of a store, then later hauling MC up about his connection with the store, or how Alyvia can't see Dilan doesn't even like her at all, they don't mean for each other despite it's clear as a day. I mean sure in most scenes they are fine, but in some scenes, it's almost unbearable how stubborn they are...

For The End
I don't think this is a bad game, it seems to have potential, but the execution of that potential is poor, there is no balance, and the game is too heavy on slow-burn text-heavy story and has soo damn less action, this is 2 years old game for god's sake, then why aside from full wall of text it feels like 6 months old game? SHM...

Pretty good story with a bunch of likeable characters. I enjoy that there's a seduce and a corruption routes for each main girl. The corruption route kind of makes the MC like a childish asshole though. But I enjoy there being variety.

My biggest issue with the game so far is that you're forced into a relationship with a girl and she's maybe like a good 30% of all the h scenes. I would've preferred it being more evenly distributed, but I guess it's to make the story work so I can't be too mad about it.

Dahm good VN and long story!

Probably would be best to do some more spell checking especially further on

all the love interest are unique falling for most of them almost right away character design is great

looking forward to the updates!

The game is decent.

You're an ugly bastard that gets sent back to like middleschool days and tries to salvage/fix his fucked up life before it ends up like before. MC is still giga horny and retains his monster cock from being a middle-aged porn addict. I wasn't the hugest fan of him - he's kind of just super assertive and like a playboy. He says and does things that are crazy and outlandish even knowing how they sound. Occasionally, he can be thoughtful and stuff, but otherwise its giga horny 24/7.

To be honest, I was expecting more scenes between MC and the other characters. It's been mostly just foreplay and corruption so far. There are 6 main FLs and 6 side ones. Stephanie has the most scenes out of anyone in the cast. Stephanie is your best friend/girl friend. She's pretty perverted and tomboyish. Your entire family get the second most number of scenes. Your little sister being the most prominent love interest out of them. The devs are still cooking with the Mom and big sister, but it seems like the big sister will get more scenes soon. Then there's 2 more girls that don't get that much focus, aside from being at school. One is your childhood crush, the other has a crush on you.

The animations are good, the renders are well done, and the lighting is impressive imo. I think that the blush on some of the models can get kind of ridiculous/overdone at times, but it won't bother you too much. Music is good, there's the occasional sound effect here and there - but I wish there were more during sex scenes.

The dialogue and grammar started off really good. Then as you get farther into the game and closer to recent updates, you notice a significant drop in quality. I'm not trying to be the grammar police in a porn game - but it's kind of immersion breaking and annoying to understand what characters are yapping to each other about when words are misspelled and placed out of order in sentences. Like, at that point, I would just play for the renders/animations/sex scenes. I'd just hold down ctrl and skip the whole game.

Anyways 4/5, needs better proofreading and pacing. I don't know if the dev is going for season 1 and 2 or something, but at this rate, it's looking like only 1 girl ever really gets straight up sex, while the others are just foreplay. Also, I noticed there's no harem tag...which is a little weird considering how much MC fantasizes and tries to plan out making his own harem. Unless that's a fakeout from the dev? Idk

Awesome game. Frankly speaking. It's character based and pretty emotional.

I'm sure anyone who enjoys this has regrets about their past. It's definitely 100/10 material. Author knows how to write characters and move the plot along. The protag can be as Demonic or Sincere as you want him to be.

I don't wanna talk about the characters because they're written so damn well, for the most part and it'd be better for you to read for yourself, but BaiBai's got a relatively good grasp on psychology is all I'll say.

Protagonist is written fucking phenomenally. This game plays with your fucking feelings. Scenes are pretty good also, and the author's got a great sense of buildup.

Setting's nothing home to write about, but damn. This game will have you feeling more than just horny. Even if you're apathetic. If you're looking for some quality, this is it.

As for the harem, the protagonist and author are VERY pragmatic about it. It's not a plain happy go lucky fantasy. The protag has made it his goal, yes, but he works to build and balance all the personalities he interacts with.

I'd rate this as one of the Greats on the level of Pale Carnations and HPMF.

100/10

Also the amount of time protag gaslights the heroines is fucking hilarious

-Netori Fiend

Really good VN with a couple routes that lead to a couple of unique scenes, but you can mainly get 90% of the scenes by sticking to one route.

Pros:
- Many girls to get scenes from
- There's a good amount of scenes for the 0.8 build
- You don't play as an ugly bastard, you get sent back in time to your teenage self
- It takes multiple hours to complete

Cons;
- Your almost a shota in the way your character is built which is a turn off for some (this is a pro for others)
- You can't do much with the older sister yet, which is my favorite character

Definitely play this game out and also play it again when there's more updates!

Intelligent, erotic, and novel.

Pros:
- Writing. Characterization is deep and solid. Dialogue is snappy, and the MC's inner life is top-notch for a porn game. Good integration of a lot of characters, and good pacing.
- Sex scenes. I often had the feeling I hadn't played a sex scene in a different game, and that's a good feeling when one's played a lot of porn games.

Cons:
- Some of the body parts dip far beyond the suspending-disbelief threshold for me.

Excellent game. Once you get past the beginning theres no more ugly bastad besides occasional thoughts but the story, the characters, the music, the pacing, the sex scenes, and even the mc are all great. Some spell check is definitely needed for the latest patch but besides that I have no real complaints. highly recommend.

Literally the best porn game I've ever played. Writing, animations, girls, humour, characters, it's all very good.
Ofcourse you could find flaws, if you went looking for it, but it's such a great experience that I don't want to.
Thanks to the devs. Please keep making more of it. It's just amazing.

Twisted Memories is a visual novel that impresses in every respect. The animations are top notch and help to enhance the immersive atmosphere of the game. They are fluid and detailed, breathing life into the characters and scenes.

The story is captivating and well thought out. It draws the player in from the very beginning and maintains the tension until the very end. The twists and revelations are well timed and provide an emotional rollercoaster ride.

The graphics are also outstanding. The art design is both unique and appealing, and the visuals of the characters and environments are stunning. The color scheme and lighting add to the mood and atmosphere, making the gaming experience even more immersive.

Overall, Twisted Memories is an outstanding visual novel that deserves full marks for animation, story and graphics. It is a must-have for any fan of the genre.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

An exceptional story about a degenerate who basically isekai scenarios back to his younger self for another chance at life. The MC is dominant, scheming, driven and pervy so you get to the good stuff pretty fast and yet believably in most cases as he is naturally far too mature for his age and uses his older mind to take advantage of the innocence around him in a bevvy of gorgeous women of various backgrounds and relations to him.

I have only played corruption route so far and oof does it get dark in places but i think it fits the character who is presented to us in the intro. I will likely replay for the sedection route at some point to be my canon playthrough when it gets more content as the LIs truly are lovely and worth it but even with corruption route i am wooed with how grounded the devs script is here - The dev quickly establishes the MC is fully at fault for his actions and how his relations with all these women were no negative later in life. With such an alpha MC it would be easier to just have him say Dom the hell out of the Bully in a revenge plot but no - she is actually lovely, it is the MC who was the jerk all along. Each LI is unqiue, has her own emotions and feel realistic enough (well at least in personality - the bodies here are fap tastic but not realistic at all but the dev laughs about this... "his sister only had D cups at his age").

The only things i have not liked so far has to be the awful spelling and grammar at points but that is the norm with non native speakers i am assuming the dev to be but a proof reader could smooth that issue out in time as well as the contradictions i see in the MC which make zero sense given his lust fueled nature. He will take what he wants with ANY means at least in corruption route whether they are not single or not interested and so on. He is a horny netori alpha male... yet too often we see women throw themselves at him and he decides "no, that would be a bad idea" all too often despite his target of at least TWELVE love interests and as a harem no less. Feels a bit too against the grain from what we are normally presented with him IMO, he even plays wing man to his weirdo friend - given he is netori taking his other classmates girlfriend it would make sense if this was all a plot to have THIS girl for himself as well for example but im not sure there will be love interests beyond the 12 logged in the game so far.

On the whole yeah a wonderfully crafted game. The scenes are especially hot, there is decent amount of content here, it is well animated, the women are hot and i cannot wait to see where he takes the story next.

An excellent example of how a game is worth more than the sum of its parts. Before I start to praise this game, here are the faults:

-There are a large number of typos and other errors in the script. In particular the creator keeps calling fingers "gingers" throughout the game.
-There are also graphical issues. Sometimes models and props clip through each other in a mildly distracting fashion.
-The quality of the models is mediocre. Lets say a 4.5/10.
-The artstyle and proportions are exaggerated in a way which may be offputting for many. I will admit it isn't fully my cup of tea either.
-One of the primary love interests (along with one of the secondaries) is unabashed lolicon shit which turns my stomach. She is possibly the most prominent LI as of this review (or at least second) and I fast forward every scene she is in. Her model makes her look like she is 5. It is disgusting.

Wow, that is a lot of issues huh? One of them so bad it actually makes me skip about 15-20% of the game? How on earth can this game be a 5? Or even a 4?

Because it is incredible!

If you are into male dom content, the corruption routes in this game are jaw droppingly good. Three of the five best scenes I have seen in a game in the past two years are in this game. Nothing even comes close. Some of the hottest scenarios I have ever seen.

Although there is roughness in the graphics and the script, the creator pulls it off where it counts. The overall writing quality is excellent and the blocking/framing of the scenes is very good. Each LI, excluding the one I skip because idk, has tons of personality and their models (although not technically that impressive) work. There is no other word for what is in this game. Talent.

Another note of praise is the game's pacing. Remember that? Pacing? Most games just shove repetative content for years while sucking up patreon money. There are very, very, few games I would actually consider well paced on this entire website. This is one of them. Relationships move at a speed that feels natural while also not dragging their heels. You are never a few minutes away from a hot scene. And it does all this while still showing restraint. Two of the main LI still don't have a scene in the gallery. And yet I don't complain. Their time will come. I cannot overstate how impressive this is.

This game isn't a Slow Burn or any of the other excuses people make for games that have no clue how to pace itself. It is perfect.

The flaws stop me from calling this one of the best games on the site. But that is my objective brain talking. In my heart this is a 95/100 (-5 for the lolicon shit. Take it out.)

I'm not that good with words, so I'll just list things that I currently like (and dislike) about this game:

Pro:

1. There are enough genera here to satisfy almost everyone.
2. So far the script is quite nice, MC has enough (yet not too much) self monologue to justify his actions while not taking away player's agency.
3. For an adult game at 0.8 version there are enough beefs here to keep things interesting. I'm glad who making this isn't intentionally blueballing us like some other games.

Meh:

1. For people who don't like harem they may want more choice to tie down at specific main character.
2. If you can read hanji/Japanese then you may find some background objects kinda goofy.

Con:

1. Typo after a certain point become atrociously frequent and bad. I usually don't care about this but at current state I think the writer should really pay more attention to this.

All in all, at current stage I'll give it a 4.2/5.

Despite the outdated graphics, the game is great, mainly because it has a story, I didn't expect anything from the story when I downloaded the game, but it was exactly the story and the writing that stood out; It's nothing too serious, but it's smart and makes sense, the seduction and corruption routes are great, I still can't decide which is best.

There are many spelling errors, many, which I consider unacceptable because they are simple errors that any spell checker would avoid, like some missing or misplaced letters; The fact that the developer ignored this for so long shows how little he cares, these errors are all over the game, from start to finish.

The characters are great, I liked them all, we can't refuse anyone in this game, I thought that would be a bad thing, but in the end I didn't see anyone I would dare refuse.

And the girls aren't sluts; they have feelings, each one has her own story.
Again, nothing too serious, but you can see that the developer put a lot of thought into creating each character, and despite the outdated graphics, I ended up finding all of them beautiful!

The protagonist is known as a pervert; he's called a pervert all the time.
When he "returned" to his younger self, he returned much more mature and intelligent, mainly mature; it was the biggest change in him, and it was what the people close to him noticed first.
The protagonist being a mature person was great, it was easy to like him, however, there were still moments beyond my control where the protagonist acted like a little pervert, and I didn't like that, It seemed out of character since the mature protagonist usually didn't act like that.

I liked the game much more than I expected, I definitely recommend it.

This game is so damn good. Its strongest point is definitely character development and the story. But the art does not fall behind at all. The story is really good for people into incest / harem. The characters behave in believable ways as far as harem and incest goes. You could even see most of these interactions making sense in real life (somewhat) if given the magical circumstances from the story. It made me care about the characters and the story like no other porn game. Even though it has a lot of text, it still is interesting to read and skipped very little of the scenes. Overall I am impressed and wasnt expecting so much when I got into it.

Definitely gonna stay alert for new updates!

Cute female characters. Painfully cute little sister. A bit of a story you can get into though the MC seems way out of his depth with all the girls vying for his attention while pretending to not like him.

Just a shame about the ludicrous elephant dick the MC has. With a thing that size, he'd faint from lack of blood to the brain every time he got aroused. I really don't know why devs do this, it doesn't add anything to the game, it just looks silly.

Theres things that wont appeal to everybody, like incest, or the MC being a degenerate, or unrealistic proportions, but if you don't mind any of those this VN is as good as they come really. The writing is good and articulated. The girls are pretty and they have their own problems and they are not just there to be fucked by MC. I'm looking forward to the completed version!

Where do I even begin? This game is an absolute masterpiece, a shining example of creativity, passion, and innovation in the world of hentai gaming. From its charming art style to its captivating writing, every aspect of this game is a testament to the incredible talent and dedication of its developer.

The writing isn't bad for this VN. The problem comes in with the models.

You play as the MC who looks maybe 4 feet tall and hasn't hit puberty yet which is disturbing. His penis is longer than his leg which is ridiculous.

The girls are all pretty much copy/paste, if you've seen one then you pretty much have seen them all. They all have super sized boobs and butts. The VN is in serious need of variety, badly. It's like the Dev just used the same template for all of them.

If you like models with real world proportions this isn't for you. Too bad, it's a waste of a decent story line.

Very good renders and animations.
Intriguing story that doesn't make you just skip through all the big text walls. Also very good writing by the dev ( a couple of spelling mistakes aside (improved in latest update)). Explaining the thought process of mcs decisions and reasoning which adds a little serious note to the game and not just nonsense decisions / events that just look silly and destroy the immersion in the story and characters. Same goes for the main and side characters, unique personalities and stories.
Great and fitting choice of music.
A lot of content. Many mini scenes (animations) that don't count towards main scenes in gallery.
Underrated game / dev.
