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

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.

[v0.8]

Great graphics, the story is very well developed and the music envolves you with the situation you are seeing.
It has 2 paths for each primary character (seduction or corruption) and both are interesting and well written, each one with his own scenes
The game will for sure not disappoint you

Damn, I really like the story so far. It has great characters, so I am going to play it till the end. The character designs are good. like the scenes so far. It's great that all of the characters have different emotions. Every character has a unique story to tell. Humor and story is very good in it.

This is one of the best games on the site. I think the story is far better crafted then most witch is why it stands out and makes it more interesting. the character design is good. I like that you can avoid seeing the little sister story by clicking that option in settings it make it so i can stand the protagonist. i like the twist on the classic porn game setting it feels groundhog day/Christmas carol. overall this game is near the top of this sites catalog.

Twisted Memories [v0.7d] [BaiBai]

Hey! This shit is good!! Mhm! As a dude said before me, this novel has a soul. Identity! it's pretty well written too, I wasn't bored and my attention wasn't slipping whole time I was reading/"playing". (and that's rarity on this site or everywhere basically)
I wasn't expecting much, but this is helluva nice surprise. Nice looking models, decent and enjoyable story, good and cohesive writing with few orthographic and other little mistakes (nothing much, among of what I spotted), sympathetic characters with distinct "harem" personalities. Everything is very good, with few thinks here and there.

You really should check this one out. Oh, and don't forget too follow/support dev, if you liked it. (ofc, if your IRL situation lets you)

You know how some games feel soulless? Like the creator is just making this because he knows these tropes are popular but doesn't really "get it"? This ain't one of those games. This game truly feels like a man sat down, looked deep within himself, and then gave it to the world so they could masturbate. Great stuff, the translation is shoddy at times but it gets the job done—still a 10/10.

Review of version 0.7d.

The good: if you like wide hips and large breasts (almost comically so), they're in spades here. The writing overall is good, the story is interesting, the jokes are funny.

The bad: if you don't like wide hips and large breasts then there's literally no characters for you here (even the "lollies" have thighs thicker than waists). While the writing in the first half (until about 6h in) is solid, it definitely falls off later on, with many typos and grammar mistakes (mistaking "him" for "her" or even using "her" for "it"). Which in erotic scenes is rather distracting.

While I like it, the game is a real slow burn, with the first sex scene (defined as "girl cumming") is something like 5h in, so your mileage may vary.

overall: if not for lack of copy editing later in it would be a solid 5/5 game for me.

S-TIER GAME I LOVE IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

- writing is legit, all the main girls have a fleshed out backstory and sometimes makes me feel like i'm reading a novel. sometimes it even makes me reflect on my own life a bit tbh which ive never had in a porn game there's still some porn logic ofc but its competently done, usually in a funny self-aware way so who gives a fuck. build up to the sex scenes feels good, not too abrupt but you dont have to play 500000 hours to see a girl's nipple for the first time either.
- girls r cute and sexy as fuck, renders r nice.
- titties are absurd, i prefer more realistic proportions but you get used to it fast and the rest of the game more than makes up for it, and its kinda sexy sometimes tbh, esp the "smaller" titties cos those are somewhat in line with reality
- sex animations are nice, i liked seeing the fluids and stuff, and the writing during sex scenes is erotic
- music is great. i especially love the school theme, its catchy as fuck
- choices are also legit, the two paths are fleshed out in their own right, like the corruption path feels like mc is your typical fucked in the head horny sociopath whereas the love path is more wholesome and feel-good

The writing is actually really good. Some minor spelling errors, but way better than most of the other games on here. Great work!

Animation and art is pretty awesome too. Wished it was voiced though..

Best writing I've seen for a VN on this site. The protag is a breath of fresh air compared to most games, actually feels like a person instead of the personification of lust like most protags lately have been like. The models are top-notch as well, in an original style.

Been hooked as soon as I started playing, a fine feat considering I'm usually one of those degenerates that skip through to the fun parts.

This game is very good, and I'll come to that after I adress the main issue about the why I removed one star from what I thought of the game.

Why only 3 stars when I think it should be 4? The "petite" girls are not very sexy in the story, when you have so much beautiful and sexy girls.

Now the good:
- most girls are very beautiful. Big sister, mom, (girl)friend, crush, bully girl... they are all beautiful. Of course in an AVN it's expected, but not every AVN succeeds at having all girls diverse and yet beautiful.
- you can play for romance and corruption with each girl. I didn't play both, and choose one for each in my only playthgourh, but each path I choose for every girl felt very well crafted.
- the sexy/horny dialogues of girl is quite arousing : the writer is very good to make the player feel the hotness in the scenes.

The best game of all time on this website and probably among all the VN like i've played. Just too good, story, art, characters, the flow, everything is over a 10. Stephanie carries it hard for me specially. The only "bad" point i'd say is the MC's little sister but you can turn it off in the settings so it's still a W anyways
