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

Review based on 0.4:

Overall, a really good game. Might not deserve the full 5 Stars since I have some issues with some parts, however, those are minor things and I have the feeling that the potential of this game is really big.

Story is not new, but also not bad at all. MC gets set back in time and has a second chance in life. MC comes of as a really disgusting person at once, but is actually quite a deep character, who is grateful and wants to help on the one side, but is also aiming for his own personal benefit on the other. Not a bad guy at all, but also not a completely good guy.

Female Characters look great. Most have really big boobs, which is a total win for me, but they will be offputting for people who are not into that. But overall, really good-looking Love Interests and totally my taste.

Dialogues are well-written. The Dev writes on a high level when it comes to the actual meaning of the Posts and you get the idea that the MC is really intelligent, but for some reason had some wrong turns in his previous life. Story in its own is also good, it keeps you interested and you want to know what exactly happend to MC, since he has some memories about some things, but also some things are missing.

Regarding things I dont like:

Spelling. Lots of mistakes, which show that there is some work to do. A proofreader would be great, because the actual writing is good and does not need to be improved, just a look for typos and similar mistakes.

Some Characters are pretty annoying. Mainly the childhood Friend Leo, but also the rival Aden. Later one will most likely end up being redundant anyway.

And, last but not least, there is not much difference between Corruption and Seduction, at least at this point. The dialogue is different and sometimes the MC comes of as somewhat rude when doing the Corruption-choice, but thats about it. However, I am very sure that it will play out in future Updates, since obviously there will not be much difference at the start.

So while I have some points which I dislike, I feel that they are either stuff which can easily be fixed (Typos) or will change (lack of difference between Corruption and Seduction) or are just things which you have to deal with due to the nature of the game (Leo being annoying, but he is a young character, so it fits).

So overall, well-deserved 5 Stars, Dev deserves every Support they get. If you are into Harem-Games and Corruption and like the Look of the LIs, I highly recommend to check out this game.

Amazing scenes and characters with a story that makes sense. Tampers a lot to the semi slow mental corruption of women and I love it as well as the story that feels personal and real. Looking forward to whatever this becomes, it has instantly become one of my favourites and I await updates with bated breath.

The only negative is the proofreading and typos. The writing definitely needs a second read before an update is released but it doesn't take me away from the story much at all.

I'm very much impressed by this game. The writing is one of the top on this site. All the scenes and their transitions have a lot thoughts put into them which give the feel of a high production value.

Among the best of characters design plus the fantastic renders make it a game that you should not ignore no matter your preferences.

They are a few negatives, tho not enough to remove a star. It's minor, but the font need to be replaced to make it easier to read. Also the girls boobs are in general too big to my taste but it's nothing compared to the ridiculous huge dick that the mc has. It looks idiotic and If there is a fellatio scene in a following update it will look like shit, but dev probably knows that since his animations are suberb. I was worried about the big boobies during sex scenes, however the boob physics were done masterfully.

Great start and a fun premise. Really enjoyed the story and the renders, while a bit too ginormous in the chests for my personal taste, are top notch. I'm really looking forward to seeing the story unfold.

This game is still early in development and has only one sex scene so far but boy, if it isn't the hotest thing I've seen on the internet it's pretty close.

The story is also right up my ally with it's Detective Conan XXX feeling.

I usually don't like the style of these games, but I really enjoy this one. I thought the story would be boring, but I really enjoyed what I played so far. Love the characters and the story so far and cannot wait for the next update. I will keep my eye on this one for sure!

The writing in this game is actually excellent; there are some proofreading issues which I'd love to help with, but I found the story and characterization compelling. I'm also not really into Honey Select models, but they work well here and the dev is adding some subtle animations that really make this VN pop. Can't wait for future updates

This game is surprisingly good.
It is still very much in the beginning, but what is there is really enjoyable.

The plot is not really original, there are several games and other works with the same or at least a similar set-up.
Old fart dies, gets reborn in his younger body or in another younger body.
Tries to get with the people he couldn't get with before, including his own family.

But it is done well here. The dialogue is mostly nice, you have the option between seducing or romancing the girls, and it's a nice collection of anime/hentai trope characters.
The girls are all a bit on the thick side and most have very large tits.
I happen to like tits, and while they are indeed ginormous, it isn't a problem for me.

There is humour, the writing is decent, the renders are fine. Nothing bad I can say about it, but it does have two minor flaws that detract a star from the rating.

For one, the grammar and spelling is abominable. I was really pulled out from my enjoyment, because of the spelling and other mistakes.
The second is more of a personal disappointment and didn't really reflect in the actual rating. You have the mother of a former friend who is a gorgeous MILF, and you have the teacher who is also fucking hot, and you CAN flirt with the teacher, but neither her nor the MILF are in the list of love interests you get stats for, which makes me think, they won't be full-blown LIs.

Now, for another positive thing I forgot, I liked how the MC has really diverging memories from what he experiences in the past.
We don't know yet whether this has any actual meaning, or whether it's just faulty human unobjective memory.
It does seem kind of weird, that he completely forgot one of his closer friends, though. Maybe there is more to that at least.

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.
