VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Two Weeks [Ep. 6 Fixed] [Madek]

I wanna start this off by saying that I struggled between two and three stars for a while before finally deciding on 2. So now that's out of the way here's what I've come up with.

Renders ***** 5 stars. The renders are far from bad. Actually I think this is about the most well done part of this game.
Animations *** 3 Stars. They aren't terrible but there isn't many of them and they don't last for very long.
Story * 1 Star. You are supposed to have 2 weeks yet you only play 6 days and during that time there is a whole beach episode missing. It's brought up about a weekend on the beach where both you and your sister were supposed to bring a friend. A lot of strings get left without closure. You fuck your sister but then she runs away and you don't see her again? You never meet your sister's friend and just so many story arcs go without any conclusion. It's like the Dev didn't know where to take it.
Character Development * 1 Star. Your family is all over the place with their emotions they don't have a clue what they want or what to do. These characters didn't feel like real people.
MC * 1 Star. The main character is your stereo typical spy on your family type with no real depth whos larping as a good guy to his mother. This is your basic copy, paste, rinse and repeat MC that's so common in these Visual novel.

Overall I feel as though if Dev teamed up with a good writer they could make magic. But this game just lacks a comprehensive story line that makes me wanna recommend it to others. So instead of awarding brownie points for the fanatic renders I'm going to have to go with an overall rating of ** Two Stars. It takes more than good renders to make a good game and that's the only thing I feel this game had going for it.

VERSION: 1.0 / Episodes 1-to-6

A misnomer, to be sure, attentive players will note that Two Weeks features substantially fewer than the fourteen days required of that span, courtesy both of its abrupt ending and an apparent lack of interest from the developer.

The cast, primarily the protagonist's estranged mother and elder sister, are refined gradually over the course of the game and each display prominent personality flaws; occassional bouts of insecurity or overt jealousy from the mother, and outright deception from the sister, that aid in portraying their depth as more than mere sexual objects. Indeed, significant portions of the game are devoted entirely to fostering a caring relationship between the family in pursuit of a more intimate one, as opposed to the bog-standard "peep-and-creep" formula of similar titles.

The script from which they operate, however, is severely hampered not only by the truncated nature of its delivery but the frequent appearance of grammatical errors that ought to have been addressed by an editor during their initial pass. While many such mistakes can be brushed aside, others disjoint the narrative as names, denominations and other pertinent items shift from one scene to another.

Pitiably, the paramount failing of Two Weeks lies in its ambition.

As the narrative unfolds the cast blossoms from the immediate family to something of a minor ensemble: a fellow nurse at the hospital who is both the mother's friend and a potential love interest, the elderly clerical aide with ties to the protagonist's childhood, the erstwhile best friend that is both wealthy and interested in the sister... events weave their way between these additions with some degree of verisimilitude and the game itself offers a certain degree of reactivity as innocuous events (i.e. - spying on a random woman in the locker room) can severely alter the consequences of later scenarios, yet it all remains achingly incipient.

The protagonist overhears some potentially disastrous news regarding the mother's best friend; they stumble into a chance encounter over a meal with a bizzarre homeless man; begin a heated sexual relationship with their sister and are caught in flagrane delicto; seduce and sleep with their mother for the first time...

...all of which remains tantalizingly unresolved.

Two Weeks is dubbed "complete" by its developer, who has since initiated work on a new project that appears unrelated to the subject at hand barring the similarity of its principal model, yet so much of the game feels rushed. Entire storyline threads are sacrificed for the sake of a conclusion to the story that leaves the viewer grimly unsatisfied. What ought to have been the sweet climax, ideally segueing into further content, is instead a bitter moment as fleeting dialogue whips past followed swiftly by a black screen whose only text reads THE END.

DIALOGUE ------------------- 6 / 10
GAMEPLAY ------------------ 4 / 10
INNOVATION --------------- 6 / 10

SCORE ================= 23 / 40
PROMISING BUT DEEPLY FLAWED
Two Weeks is worthy of play and should merit a few fans, yet its cursory conclusion and pitifully short intimate sequences between the primary cast leave much to be desired after demanding so substantial an investment to reach them; one may end up asking whether "two weeks" was all the developer could spare to complete this project.


CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE: An editor's service, even on a voluntary basis, would work wonders for the script. Consider retaining one throughout any future endeavors. Check that the assets you employ are of a similar quality, as the distinction between the daughter's and mother's hair is stark. Consider looping your animations, such that they might be enjoyed indefinitely until the player opts to progress. Restrict your cast unless you're confident that adequate interactive material may be created for each; it's better to refrain from introducing someone, than to do so and disappoint with a lack of content.

This review is an almost a copy-paste but shorter version of my review on The Wish, simply because both games have the same problem.

Two Weeks = Wasted potential, a abandoned games with a truncated end.

I don't like to give a bad grade because it's hard to make a good game. But then again when at the "end of the game", all I remember is frustration. I don't really have a choice.

In itself, the game is not bad. The visuals are good, it's animated and the characters are good.

But the story ends abruptly at the end of the 6th day, leaving the player hungry.

I'm not sure I'd recommend it. But as criticism is easier than practice, I would still like to thank Madek for his work.

WARNING: The main download "Episode 6" is only the 6th and last day. For the entire game go for "Fan Made All-in-1 Ep. 1-6" instead.


Let's address the irony. The game is called Two Weeks while there are 6 days. Sex-wise there isn't much because of its unintended run-time. Story-wise you get 40% before it cuts off abruptly. Until then it had a lot going for it. Beautiful renders, models, decent dialogue. And although it's typically played through stills it had an animated feel to it with changing scenery and expressions. You could tell the developer put heart into it... until he didnt.

Background information
I just read his patreon to see if it's really the final version, and it is. He communicated openly that he wants to pour his time and energy in a new game with the skills he's learned from this one. Although I would've liked to play more of this game it's important that the developing journey is enjoyable as well. He's got talent so as long he stays motivated enough to give his future project a satisfying end I'm sure I'll dig it. I wish him the best. Now back to the review...

Conclusion
An average rating is generous for an unfinished product, would've been an easy 4 or 5 stars otherwise!

Don't be mislead y the 'Completed' tag, this game is abandoned.
Just because the developer put 'The End' on the last screen just after skipping at least 3 quarters of the already short Two Weeks in the title does not make this game complete in my opinion.

What makes this sad is that I really liked the interactions between the MC and his sister. While she seems to be the typical bitchy older sister at the beginning there are hints that she actually has feelings for her brother and so she is using every opportunity to tease him.

So renders, characters and writing are very good. A shame we will never see what it could have been.

The existing part of the game is very good. Normally I'd give it 4 or even 5 stars if only it wasn't for that abrupt ending just when things started to heat up between MC and the female characters.

This game looks like is not really finished. Ending apparition is brutal and doesn't seem logic at all.

Graphics are cool but there are very few sexy scenes. I recall only 1 scene with Sis, 1 scene with Mother and 1 scene with Mom's friend

Although I just gave 3 stars, I really liked this game or more precisely the potential of this adult game.

All models are adorable and the renders are well done, so is the storyline, which at least attempts to give the obligatory incest content a quite realistic approach. It's not like, out of nowhere on day 2 or 3: unzip your pants and "Hey, mom & sis let's have a funny threesome!" It takes a while of teasing and the right decisions of course to get a few H scenes in the end (last episode).

Unfortunately there is no full blown walkthrough, so players can't check, what content they might have missed during their playthrough. And it's not worthwhile to spent time to play it several times in this officially finished, but rushed status quo.

Its very obvious that the end was rushed (the game doesn't cover 2 weeks, only 6 days), so that a lot of storytelling potential was wasted. It simply doesn’t match the tension curve, which was incorporated so well from beginning on in this game and keeps one playing till the end. So the end is very much disappointing unfortunately in comparison to this long tension curve.

The only H scenes I discovered in my one and only playthrough was small scene with the sister, which is interrupted, a handjob scene with another character and a sex scene with the mother at the very end. That’s it. Game over.

It’s really a shame, because this game could have been easily a 5-star gem, if it was finished properly and if it covered the whole 2 weeks with a lot more opportunities, storytelling and more and more escalating H scenes. The tension curve is superb, but the abrupt end makes this pointless. The whole lot of left behind potential makes it a disappointing playing experience unfortunately.

To see all that potential squandered will be the hardest (and only thing you'll get) from playing this game:

Let's just say there are not enough walkthroughs to get you through this mess. If you looked through my notes you'd think I was putting together a conspiracy theory or something.

There is no clear way to track your progress rather than going back and replaying the whole thing. Sex scenes are nearly non-existent if you are not willing to spend 3 hours making every right decision.

The only good thing about this are the renders. Which counts for squat if there is a very limited amount of h scenes.

Take my word and save yourself a heartbreak and some time. You've been warned.

So This was a fine game, nothing Spectacular but a fun game to keep up with but it got cut way to short, the dev got tired of the game I suppose and ended it on day 6 instead of doing the “Two Weeks”
Unfortunate If you liked the game but if the dev doesn’t like the game I guess it’s better to end it rather than get something with no passion behind it.
The end is rushed and kinda shit payoff with the sister scene being a complete cliffhanger feel (I guess he’s using the character model in his next game so if you want more of her it’ll be there)
A rushed ending is better than no ending... I guess?

Recommend playing the ep 6 if you just wanna see the H scenes. Don’t get invested in the story you’ll just be disappointed.

2/5 for all the girls character models looking good and overall good looking game but basically abandoned.
Slapping an ending on it that was pretty piss poor to make it completed instead of abandoned I guess.

Everything seemed good for a while, but the way this story was going it was easily going to need 10 episodes for everything to come out right. The teasing was alright and I like a game that takes it slow as long as it builds into something good. However, the rushed ending and the lack of good payoff is just ... disappointing. The available endings were not worth it. The rushed and ham-fisted sex scenes may have worked if they were just the beginning but they were in fact the end. The overall story was a standard incest game cliche but the reason the incest fetish works so often is execution (ie good scenes, good development and dialogue, good renders) and the execution was almost on the money, but dropped before anything actually good could come of it. I understand creative burnout and sympathize with someone being forced to finish something they have no passion for, but I would much rather this game had been put on hold until we could get the finish (really it would be whole other half rather than just ending) the story seemed to want. The way episode 6 goes, this is only two steps away from the Abandoned label.

A strong 2/5 for me.

This game can be compared to that player who had all the potential in the world, but simply never made it for some very stupid reasons.

This game looks great, and the characters are great aswell. The story is pretty decent as is the background.

But the story really does die down at the end. The ending is, and I truly mean this, the most anticlimactic ending of any adult game I have ever played. Really feel like there is more to the story to tell.

It's just such a waste for a beautiful game, and that is what makes it so painful. Great idea, poor execution. I really do hope the team does come back and give this game the ending it deserves.

Bog standard incest game. Doesn't do anything other games haven't done better.

Within a few seconds you are staring at your sisters ass, a few seconds after that you spy on your mother getting changed. Basic as fuck spying shit that's been so overdone now it makes me want to kick a puppy every time I see it.

Sister is so confused with herself she doesn't know her arse from her elbow. She can't make up her mind if she hates the MC or not the dialogue at the start is that schizophrenic.

From "I won't punch you in the stomach on our way out" to "i'm being forced to spend time with you" followed by "of course i'm happy you are here" .... wut?

This game can be compared to buying a cheap car. It never gets out of first gear, constantly stalls, sets on fire for no reason and by the end you're left with a steaming wreck wondering why the fuck you bothered.

Completed!?... Really?... Who decided that?

This game seems terribly rushed and episode 6 just seems like they're trying to put it a end to it.
Little to no effort was put into the adult scenes I feel like the developer was trying to give blue balls to the player too because it's done a lot to the MC.

Dialogue 5.5/10
Scenes 5/10
Adult Scenes 1/10
Gameplay 3/10
Artwork 8/10
Fap Friendly 0.5/10

starting good, but ended poorly its almost seems for me that it got rushed instead naturally completed.. counting the day I doubt it has 2 weeks in total, not to mention what happened to the beach scene that planed since early chapter (where we choose should stan join or not)?

I had hope for this game. I the rendering was beautiful and some of the scenes were believable and somewhat erotic.

However, i can not recommend this game due to several reasons.
1) The story is linear. None of the choices really matter. The choices chance a few of the scenes by a couple of sentences, but other than that, unremarkable.
2) Blue-balls! Blue-balls everywhere! I have not play chapter 6 and might never will because beside minor kissing and hugging scences! That's right, not even a make-out scene! That's about as intimate as you will get with any of the character between chapter 1-5.

Overall, if you're looking for an adult content game, this isn't it. The game should be categorized as an interactive soft-core porn instead.

Awesome erotic romance! It's not just about sex, but its about to a nice paced break of society rules while step by step showing your pervertion around the house. This game is not just about fuck but you need to earn this.

Chapter 1 to 6 (completed):
The game was promising and the talent of the creator was more than enough to create a 4/5 game.

But now, it seems that the author was unmotivated by his project and he clearly botched the end!

Everything was in place to make a game whose intensity rose in creshendo. it's really wasting all the potential in a snap.

As many have said, I can not recommend the game because:
+ Sloppy end
+ Very linear! Your choices have NO importance. you will follow the frame wanted by the author. For example if you want to focus only on the mother or sister, you will not be able to! it will require you to go with each other at the moment that the author has chosen.
+ Very little adult content: two scenes imposed by the author and the final scene.

The positive points:
+ The beginning
+ Correct renditions and immersion in the story until the sloppy end.

The ending to this game was one of the worst I've seen to date.

Two Weeks had the potential to receive a rating of between 4.5 and 5.0 stars, but the best I can give is a reluctant 3. The game itself was great, but there's a heavy emphasis on "was." The ending to this was like pouring rotten milk into a near perfect cup of coffee -- thus spoiling the entire thing and rendering it unpalatable.

Now if you don't care too much about story... it has very good animations, renders, and female models... however, story-wise, I've never seen a harder nosedive. Think "ending of GoT" vs. "first 4 seasons."

I cannot in good faith recommend this unless you're mostly looking for a wank and around 3 hours of pretty fun gameplay that will ultimately leave most people unsatisfied.

The game has good renders, ill give it that. but other than that, it is very short. it doesnt give you any time at all to emotionally invest yourself into a character, the story is set and none of your options matter. imo the rating is missleading.
