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

Good plot, About second chances, Everyone wants to fix what we messed in our past, The developer gave us that fantasy, What makes it interesting is his big manhood, small body big package, The creator did a wonderful job there, nice story not rushed its very interesting.Hope the developer continue this good work

This game is AWESOME, I didnt think I was going to like it as much as I did, I downloaded based on star rating, and that strategy is a hit or miss and most of the games I downloaded like that I didnt stick to but this was a whole other story. The writing is good, there are cliches and the MC will sometimes say some BS with a straight face and the LIs will eat it whole BUT its done in a really fun way and these characters each have their own personalities and an actual interesting back story about who they are, who they could have been in the future and why they do what they do. The situations it puts the MC in are really fun to read through and I can say im loving every second of this game and Im not even close to done with it yet, Im probably at like 40% completion, this game is HUGE! Take it for what it is with the premise, its not just a soul less nukige like masses inundating the website but with a harem premise do expect some cliches, its more of a comical game youll enjoy your time with a lot (and it did make me laugh quite often)! 5 stars.

Version 0.9b

"Twisted Memories: An ugly bastard turns back into a teenager and corrupts the women of his past" is the most factually correct and yet misleading title I've ever seen in an adult game. Factual in the sense that it summarizes the plot succinctly, but NO... this game isn't about a horny teenager going around to take revenge on girls and having a fuckfest shtick.

Story
You play a loser in his late 40s who time travels back to when he was a high school student and gets a new opportunity to turn his life around. Yes, it's a harem game and there will be sex with many girls, but what sets TM apart is the emotionally intense and compelling narrative - we experience it through MC's anger, regret and introspection when he relooks at the people around him and the decisions he made in the past.

This isn't a game about an old pervert going around blackmailing and fucking every woman he sees. The developer spends considerable time dwelling on MC's pre-time travel relationship with these women, how he sees them differently now and how he would like to take his interactions with them going forward.

The emotional intensity is even stronger if you choose the seduction route for all the main girls. Though a harem game which by definition limits its realism, the developer pushes the envelope to be as realistic as possible for this genre, i.e. the gals don't just automatically jump onto MC's cock and accept him sleeping around.

In fact, out of all the LIs, only Lola fully accepts MC starting a harem. The rest range from partial acceptance, reluctance to outright rejection, so it can be quite comical to see MC trying to juggle all these conflicting LIs who don't see eye to eye with each other often.

Game Mechanic
Visual novel with choices that allow you to pick either a seduction or corruption route with six main LIs and a yes / no choice for another six secondary LIs.

The different routes mostly affect the type of sex scenes and some character specific events. Corruption routes are generally enjoyable as expected, but it is the seduction ones that truly shine. The latter also gels with the overall narrative better IMO.

One point of note is seduction route isn't pure romance per se, it still has elements of corruption within, just less pronounced.

Background / Character Renders
Background and character models are made with HS2 with adequate post processing. The character designs slant towards the anime kawaii end of spectrum with big boobs and MC features a monster dick.

Character Development
Old man either time travelling, dead soul takes over a young body or isekai into a young character etc. are common in AVNs. Most end up mediocre because character build up sucks, you don't get a sense these MCs are old souls - they behave like a typical horny teenager which defeats the whole purpose of the starting premise.

Not TM though, our MC here thinks and reflects a lot when going through his new life here. He deals with matters like an experienced hand whether it is in everyday situations, handling relationships or corrupting the ladies. Players are constantly reminded of the fact that MC used to be an old guy now with a new body and perspective. Very refreshing take on this genre.

The LIs are varied and distinct in their character, some might be a bit tropey while others less so. Some are more predisposed to liking MC while others are more slow burn to turn their relationship around.

Sex Scenes
In terms of pacing and quantity, it's a good mix evenly spread out across gameplay. Some like Stephanie and Emily are positive with MC and have sex scenes pretty early, others take a while to materialize and as of V0.9b there are still several LIs without any or with only limited lewd scenarios.

Scenes are top notch - the build-up is lengthy, varied in scenarios, backed by titillating dialogue, sound effects and music. Posing, camera angles and animations are professional and well customized instead of the usual HS2 defaults.

BGM and Sound Effects
Diverse BGMs are appropriately curated and compliment the story from tense to emotional to funny moments while non-sex sound effects are minimal.

Conclusion
I wasn't expecting to be that emotionally invested starting out due to its misleading title, but TM turns out to be a gem. The story and the characters are deeply immersive; MC's rebirth is emotionally resonant and thoughtfully developed and I like how has to put in effort to convince the LIs to accept a harem with mixed results; a delightful departure from the usual zero effort harem fest.

The sex is top notch and there is some player agency without making the branching too complicated to handle. Only point of improvement is the text in certain updates lacks QC and spelling and grammar errors are sometimes too frequent to the point of being distracting.

Don't let the average-looking models fool you, the script for this game is top-notch. The characters are believable, the details and music are great, and the immersion is incredible. I'm seriously hooked and can't wait for the next chapter of the story. If you're a fan of sweet, everyday romance plots, you should definitely check this out.

Quick update on progress: The latest version is 0.9b (from early 2025) with around 10 hours of gameplay. Updates used to be fast, but this last one took forever. Hope this isn't the new normal, because the story feels like it's only about 30% done. It's going to be a long wait if so.

Okay... I wrote this long review bitching about the MC looking like he's 13 or 14 and the ince$t stuff (that I personally am not into). But I've gotta say this...

Let me start by saying, most here know me as a dev of a couple of pretty vanilla games. Also, I absolutely do NOT claim to be better than another dev. I just had to come give my thoughts on this game. Now, I'm going to spoiler the rest of this...

I just want to chip in to the reviews considering this AVN.

And simply it´s... ===== AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am like many others here that had their doubts at the start or even for a few in game days (for me it was Wednesday, when this really clicked with me) until I saw this AVN as much more than for how it presented itself in the beggining / could present about itself in such a short time.

I am playing the LOVE route only and the story IS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL and HEARTWARMING than I expected and was led to believe in the first hours of this AVN.

So, take my review as another confirmation that this is indeed worth your time
and that if you can stomach the originality and unusual start / premise of this particular AVN, there is KIND, WARM, SOOTHING, quite realistic and VERY WELL WRITTEN STORY

(and that´s what counts the most).

Thanks a lot BaiBai for creating such in depth story, and I am still just on day 4 - Thursday and yet this AVN really exceeded all my expectations, but please, take it only in the best way possible.

Thank you once again and take care.


PS. I almost forgot this === THE ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING IS THE BEST

I'm glad I pushed through on this one ... I thought the premise was incredibly dumb and didn't want to be this character but it's actually fantastic? At least on the kind / loving routing. The story's pretty dang good, the LIs are all fantastic, it's a good read and arousing. Highly recommended even now before it's done if you're looking for something to play. Just note there's huge waits in between updates, but they're also huge, so...

"I build a harem in real world" - Addictive and captivating story

This is a classic anime harem with more adult approach.

Pros.
- Story. Most of everything was build about how MC seduce or corrupt the girls he meet. Dialogs, emotions, everything is excellent. Author took the harem story and removed all the boring stuff from it.
- Graphic, Models and Animations. At first models look awkward but later you will get used to the style. A lot of background work, females always full with emotions. MC mother glances are top notch. Animations are also well made and full with sounds. They way females face is filled with emotions is beyond any imagination and only could be compared to a good actress.
- Vanilla approach up to the end. You have options to to seduce each girl without crossing the line of a bad guy. And in 2025 it's really rare sight to see.
- MC. You can play as a good guy, but not the boring one. You like him because how masterfully he solve the problems and conflicts.

Cons
- Update speed. Each update take a year to make and bring one day of content. Even if content is good it's still a messed up workflow.
- Everything is too fast. Unlike any other game, here you are burning fire with gasoline. It's not about amount of content. For whatever reasons, there is too little stuff going on beside MC seducing the females. And the way you jump from one girl to another is kind of confusing. In latest scenes there is even no room for kissing. v0.9 covers only first week. So you basically feel how author is rushing and want to deliver only lewd content by the end of the game. It's saving time leaving only good stuf but I won't mind a bit more of distraction.
- There are some typos, but I personally didn't care about them.
- Everything is too good. It breaks a little bit of immersion how everything is turning out so great for MC. Yes, it a phantasy but you want it to be more realistic, instead MC pushing his limits almost with no consequences.
- Female shapes could use more realistic approach. But it's more of personal taste.

I was genuinely surprised by this one, the author here has a very definitive voice and I think this is probably one of the most enrapturing h games I've played in a long time. Not necessarily because the writing is particularly great but rather just the whole package becomes better than its parts. The premise is great, the quality of the writing is quite good, and the tone is largely consistnent. That being said the author could use an editor, there are an ungodly amount of spelling errors and the text itself is way too verbose, I feel like you could cut out 30% of the writing and the slimmer text would improve the pace a lot. Beyond that the sex scenes themselves are fine, though they lack a lot of weight or primality that is described in the text. I don't really mind this since the text is quite good but honestly I'd rather have still images than the poor animations here. Regardless the game is great an I'm gonna be supporting the dev on their subscribestar because I desperately wanna see more. I'd recommend anyone give this a try.

The game of story is top level and you will find it engaging to the increase in every episodes and story blow but please give me most place Rebel type also amazing and that was amazing it is a second life of fancy so he is enjoying too much even though he doesn't afraid to fight anyone and improving the relationship with their family members so I can say teaching the best game

This is no Game, this is Art.

It's incredibly well written, the scenes are well made and the entire world feels alive, so do the characters honestly it makes me want for this story to never end reading endless days of this series~

But after getting together with emi there are immense amounts of spelling errors and or missing words, but if that is the price for being able to read such a amount of a interesting story it's one i'm willing to pay really hope there will be soon another huge update~

Thank you very much for this series BaiBai~

The game is amazing in all aspects, but the writing is so horrendously long that I dont know if I will be able to complete this game ever. Also, it is worth to mention that the game is really unfinished.
Graphics is amazing. I would compare it to the level of Eternum, which speaks a lot about its quality. The girls also look extremely beautiful. This game is also a rare instant when protagonist actually looks good too.
I really like the idea of being reborn in the past and corrupting girls. It feels like a doujinshi cliche, but at the same time I have read only two hentai manga like that.
My only complain to story is that I dont really understand why MC is so successful with girls. He literally does not use any past knowledge in corrupting the girls. He just acts like an adult in a young boy body, but I dont see how it can bring you a harem of girls tbh
Besides, the writing is what bothers me in this game. It is really good but too verbose and long.
For example, after any scene, protangonist likes to reflect on his actions. His thought process sometimes may take as much time as the scene was. And MC also thinks during the scenes themselves, which makes his thoughts annoyingly repetative.
Add to this that the game has not very many scenes. You get to have sexs with two girls at most. And it takes A LOT of time to see the first scene. And there is no threesome or harem scenes so far.
Honestly, when (and if) the full game gets released, I doubt that I will ever be able to finish it. It took me about six or seven hours to open the first four scenes in the gallery, and only one of them is an actual sex. I cant say it was worth it.
The game is high quality, but so far it is really everything you can say about this game. The game has some very hot stuff, good writing and graphics. But, at the same time, the game is simply too long and still does not have promised kinks and sex scenes.

[v0.9b]


⚡ The quality of writing is really good, author's erudition is apparent. Tho the narrative and monologues can sometimes be too wordy. LOTS of typos tho, seriously needs proofreading.
⚡ Great sound design: fitting the mood music, albeit repetitive and lots of sound effects for various actions, which reinforces immersion.
⚡ Renders are well-made: immense variety in expressions poses and movents, environments are decently detailed, and often there is something happening on the background which makes the scenes feel alive.
⚡ This VN offers many choices, most of which only matter in the moment and won't affect your playthrough, but some will split LI plot lines into several paths with entirely different sex scenes and relationships.
⚡ The love interests are divided into two categories: main (mandatory) and side (optional). There are six main characters: mom, two sisters and three schoolmates. There are two types of choices you could make regarding them: corruption and seduction ones. Seduction is a more romantic approach, whereas corruption is more lustful and dominant. Game's relatively slow-burn, nobody's jumping on MC's cock at the first sight, but it doesn't take a decade either. This is a harem game but the girls are pretty jealous and possessive, so convincing everyone is no easy feat for our MC which makes it interesting. Don't get me wrong there is still a lot of porn logic, and these relationships are anything but realistic, but at least MC has to work for it, unlike 95% of other harem games. All girls are lovely, very likable cute and wholesome.
⚡ Sex scenes are very hot: build-up, teasing, adequate animations, fluid particles, moans, naughty talk, sensuality, multiple poses/angles, aftermath pillow talk, camera movement - everything in place, I love it.

Some stuff that concerns me:

• I find it unlikely that a 40+ shut-in single boomer with no serious relationship experience would suddenly turn best athlete in school, a brilliant student, Casanova and a wordsmith the moment his consciousness goes back in time into his teenage body. This alone seems no less fantastic than the time travel itself.
• Not enough netori ( ͠~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
• All female models except for younger sister have huge balloon booba and wide as column hips. Would've preferred more balanced approach. Very little body type variety overall.
• Girls are leaking enough liquid to end the world's drought.
• The renders are nice but they're clearly overexposed (too bright), as a result the picture looks washed out.
• MC's comically sized cock is literally bigger than his forearm, it's just too silly, he's like 15-16 ffs. It does make blowjob scenes super hot, but is otherwise stupid.

And the biggest issue of them all - there is just not enough, I need more!

On the short list of best VNs I’ve played, but I won’t award 5 stars due to shortcomings.

Undebatably shitty and inconsiderate:
* Instantaneous text is not allowed. You can choose slower scroll or faster scroll but not no scroll.

Matters of taste, but thumbs down for me:
* Most excessive, over-the-top, disgusting squirting fetish ever.
* MC is half the size of some LIs.
* Some tits are larger than small planets.
* Some hips and lower bodies that are human but still unattractively large.
* MC is too tolerant of tsunderes. Sometimes a bitch needs to be put in her place.

So what makes it one of the best VNs ever?

* Aside from issues already discussed, all LIs are physically attractive.
- super cute and sexy with terrific nipples and sometimes pubic hair
- no mythological creatures or aliens
- no unnatural eye or hair colors
- no facial piercings or tattoos
- no fake fingernails or eyebrows, mostly natural eyelashes
- no dark/garish/excessive/slutty makeup
- no ugly/jaded/wanna-be-intimidating aesthetics
* height and tolerance issues aside, MC is basically perfect.
- big dick
- moderately attractive
- not ugly/dorky/pathetic
- not competing for sexiest or most jacked man in the universe
- no fucked up neck/shoulders
- mostly masculine/assertive
* though not LOL funny, it's very much lighthearted and amusing.
* great porn-to-plot ratio and pacing.
* basic non-sexual renders are still cute/sexy/titillating.
* solid writing.
* as others have noted, has a sense of soul despite various taboos.

In sum, fix the mandatory scroll issue and I'll round up to 5 stars.

This shit absolutely goated, by far one of the best in this genre. Kinda typical tropes but done really well, with the shy little sister, older sister going through her own rough patch that MC helps with, Tsundere childhood friend, platonic friend turned absolute nympho, and the prim class president getting corrupted.Regular updates and really high quality rendering

literally the best game on the site, this mf dev knows whatsup
honestly everything is so well done (to me), sound, render, character design,...
the sound is so well done in the game, make it so livid, but game dont have voice acting because it costly and uncertainly, good voice acting is hard to get while bad voice acting fucks everything up, but good MOANING really put this game to the top
the sex scenes are absolute cinema, honestly the dev defo fucks because it just so sensual and kinky and romantic at the same time it got me like damn...
the mc is a pervert but at the same time he so sweet, treat the girls right? it the kind of mc that i want to play (also the big cok too)
game is smooth, no bug, no grind bs if you dont like that
honestly so much things to praise but im not good with words so 5/5

Not sure if I dropped a review already, but let me drop this one just incase, the relationships feel real, and more so the conversations, especially during sex or the foreplays, the way how the girl talks backs sometimes and isn't like a complete robot just made it feel real to me, idk. maybe im talkn crap. But hey that's just what I thought, I fucking loved this.

Trust me with this one and give it a try,

Here is my 100% honest review of this masterpiece!

IGNORE the one or two words that are not perfect english just like this review, the dev of this one just knows how to write even when its not perfect, i played this game a couple of years ago and just like before, stephi with her mystery captured me again like i never played this game before.

Yeah the Incest part is what actually made me replay this game but the whole uncertainty about stephi captured me again like a spider web, unexpected and glad to read about her at the same time, but then you get the red head childhood friend you also want to know about her more, then the mother and sisters too like this dev KNOWS how to keep you intrigued man give this a try you WONT regret this one, trust!!!

+Sounds, dev is a master of good sound and timing of it!
+Writing! even if not perfect in grammar, you will understand everything and get invested
+Exposition, dev knows how to make a good looking scene for us! Everything looks custom made and unique!
+Music is on point, very nicely placed
+Models, holy mother of god these honey select models are just perfect, dev tried to make them unique and succeeded!

The only bad thing i can say about this game is that it needs more CONTENT PLEASE DEV DONT ABANDON!!!!!

I'm an old guy. And yes, sometimes I fantasise about being 18 again... but with the wisdom of an adult!, otherwise, I would probably re-make the same mistakes again.
And this is exactly the premise of this VN: an old guy, his botched life the result of his own making, is getting the opportunity to be a teenager again, but with the knowledge and wisdom of an adult, so he can make his life (and the life of the ones around him) better.
Unlike some comments here, I do like the writing, because there is a story to be told. So, it is *not* a VN for a quick FAP nor it is a immediate fuck fest.
Regarding graphics and sound, this is obviously made with HS/HS2 assets, but since I like it, it is fine by me.
Also, there is a good amount of attention given to the music and sounds, which so many times are ignored by other devs.
I hope this VN is continuing going forward up until completion.

On everyone's soul this game's premise is fire. The writing seems to be a common gripe for some reviews - yes there's mistakes, but it's not bad. It's the type of mistakes where you can easily fill in the blanks if you are a native English speaker. Character models are amazing. Story is actually quite interesting, but the narration can be a yap-fest sometimes (had to enable unseen text and skip at times). Would be nice if the devs made some scenes more succinct and to the point. The built tension is really good.

4.5/5

7/29/25 edit: Just replayed through the game almost completely. Viki route is absolutely PEAK. Cathrine route is shaping up to be PEAK. I can't praise the writing enough, it's absolutely peak. I agree wholeheartedly with an above review calling this game art.

Cosy Cafe, Pale Carnations (its writing is on par or even better), Harem Hotel and honorable mention Ripples are the only other games that I would give such similar praise to. If this game gets out of its potential development hell and gets an update, I'm probably going to feel obligated to contribute to the project.

However, the narration is still a yap-fest. Still cruising along some in-between "MC reflecting" scenes using the skip feature, which can break immersion. Dev plz shorten the walls of paragraphs that don't need to be so long

4.9/5
