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

So, you are an old bastard with a huge cock, like a horse cock, something straight out a horror movie that will break even the more loose pussy in the world. After that the redemption arc begins, it gets quite deep just in the very minutes of the game.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Now I want to talk how you literally HAVE to bang every LIs, I mean it's not bad but if I don't want to fuck my little sister, which is a childish brat, I mean it, why should I have to start a love route or a seduction route? NO, I DON'T WANT! But the game doesn't care so you have to bang her. Same with your mom, banged by a driller.
Then, moving on, you NTR'd a guy. Yes, almost unavoidable.
The point is, why making a game where you literally feel you are on tracks to romance every girl? You should call the game Harem Memories, or Building My Own Harem, why even bother to write in the description "finding true love" while you are in a mission to destroy every pussy. Yes, some action is fantastic this is a AVN, but at least develop the story in a sense where you can avoid some of the Lis, what is the meaning of drilling every girl.

This is my personal opinion, I usually play other genre where you can build a true bond with only one girl and replay the game with various routes, but I got curious with the arts and story.

I'm actually really impressed by how much I liked the story. I loved the focus on the relationships between the MC and the characters. The seduction routes really should be called love routes as you get some really wholesome scenes. But even in the corruption routes there's still love (Besides the route where you NTR a guy). I went into this thinking it was just a corruption game and was pleasantly surprised! Sex scenes are pretty top notch even though there's some graphical and grammar issues here and there.

- Story was pretty much linear, but it's a great one and also very engaging, when I started the game I coulnd't stop playing for the whole sunday xD. At first I thought this was going to be another classic VN but I was wrong.
- Character development is great. Main and side girls are insteresting. MC is ok.
- The writing has, in my opinion, only two issues: 1st. There is too much "bla-bla-bla" from time to time, I mean, dude, I don't need FOUR paragraphs for you to describe me how a fking Blowjob feels, this is not a BOOK, this a VN. 2nd. I could detect a lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes (specially towards the end) and I'm not even native xD, however, this is not hard to correct, it needs to be polished a bit.
- Music/ Sounds: Great tunes.
- Renders: Not bad, this is HS afterall.
- Animations: Not bad.
Overall the game despite its issues is fking great, not gonna lie, I had a blast. So I'd give it an 8.5/10, definitely a 5-star game. It's totally worth checking out. Looking forward to new updates.

Genius game! This one is up there with all the top ones on this site.
Even tho I am not a fan of Honey Select engine, the Dev is squeezing every last bit of potential here from it. The models are hot and have unique faces way above Honey Select standard.
This game is like a state of the art cocktail-so much good stuff mixed in and in a way that it elevates every aspect.
Graphics is good, models are hot, fitting music for various scenes and like a cherry on top the insanely good story. This Dev is so talented he/she could write a book and it would be good. He/she has such a way with words, knows how to build tension and endearing narrative.
You are 40 something degenerate, but you get transported back in time to where you were young and even tho the things get lewd a lot, it is such an uplifting story about redemption and love that keeps you hooked. It can also take a slightly darker turn if you are set on making your harem. But you can alter your choices and not be complete degenerate.
This is why visual novel format will always be superior to sandbox games, because you can build up the narrative brick by brick and the story has a flow. In sandbox games, most of the time you spend clicking between rooms and locations instead of enjoying a good story.
Word to the Dev: Good job. Please, dont cave in to the pressure of feedback. Proportion crowd telling you "boobs too big" or any other rubbish. Your game is perfect and I feel like the Developer should always have the absolute creative freedom to make the game how he/she envisioned it.

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.
+ MC's mother, and how she feel like her children growing up, and becoming adults, and how she acts soo sad, and sulky about this is soo damn funny
+ The scene about having multiple jobless wifes dividing your tax income, and children even helping more was quite interesting, and even MC's mother was like ''Imagine how much money you will save!'' so it seems at least lore/story-wise writers making things to be logical with harem thing 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, especially tits have pretty good physics in animations.

Bad Points
- 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 30-40 of them at least.
- 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, at least it was like this until the v.09, it seems with v.09 DEV started fixing this, and adding both corruption/lust & seductive/love paths similar amount of sexual content, but still until that version you still gonna see pretty unbalanced content between, so keep in mind.
- 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, especially until the v.09 release things were quite bad, that version seems to version DEV started fixing some stuff about sexual parts, but even with that version what we have is still not good enough, this game is 3 years old, yet all we have is 2 penetration scene with 2 girls, and 1 ''just the tip'' penetration with another one. Let alone not need to say best-looking girls/women in the game either nearly untouched, or has some teasing scenes, or very small stuff, v0.9 is good start, but DEV needs up his game more or this game will be never finished at this point.
- 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. Or Viki and her constant mad, and stubborn act, it almost ended up MC, and her dying... I mean sure in most scenes they are fine, but in some scenes, it's almost unbearable how stubborn they are...
- A lot of girls/women in the game have partners already, and considering the main trope of the game it doesn't make any sense. Especially Nina, and Julia being married is serious crime.
- Gallery scenes doesn't say the requirements to open, so when you end up with unopened one you will have no idea about it what is and how you can open.
- There are tons of typos here, and there, like words phrased wrongly, grammar problems, and most importantly different characters saying dialogues doesn't belong to them, like seeing Viki's name while Julia talking, etc.
- It was big crime despite how amazing Alyvia looking in v0.9 last scene we only had blowjob.

For The End
NGL this game has some very serious problems, you can see how long ''CONS'' part is, but still it does some stuff like female models being HOT AF & adorable in some moments, and animations are being pretty neat, other stuff feels less, and less problematic, without the CONS this game would be 5 stars game easily, but because of the CONS I will be giving 4 stars instead.

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

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.
