Ren'Py Under Your Spell [v0.1.11p] [Shady Characters]

[darksouldrinker]

I gave this game a shot because I like the premise and the artwork teasers look good. But...uh...IS there any content? I picked random schedules and at best, a couple of times, I got to chat with a girl. The rest of the time it just seemed like absolutely generic stuff was happening.

If there is content in the game, then the dev needs to put out a guide. Right now it seems like there is absolutely nothing. And considering the changelog says this is version 10, I was kinda expecting at least a couple scenes.

It's still way too early. There's 4 or 5 events for each of the 4 girls in this version, and it's still in the 'getting to know you' phase. They're scattered across intervals from 25-80(?) in their respective stats at the moment, but I think it could change later as more events are made.

Plus, if I remember correctly, the story gives you a deadline of a year (possibly more) and we don't even have a third of that in-game.

That said, the latest 0.2.0 update introduces 2 new girls with 4 events each as well as an event for each of the other 4 girls, so updates aren't as slow as it looks. Apparently the regular updates don't show everything that's being worked on. The last few updates were mainly bits of art and technical stuff, but I guess the guy who does the writing decided to release his bits in bigger chunks.

I'm less worried about event count and more about event quality.

If the game is this far along and the dev hasn't provided ANY sex, they probably ought to just make the game SFW and they can sell it on steam as some ecchi gamerbait shit.

Art looks pretty good but I'll wait before picking it up

Game got a new update almost 2 weeks ago:

You must be registered to see the links

 

[Lebeaubrun]

art is nice but I feel like the gameplay is doing it a disservice, lots of nothing going on.

 

[ppbeater]

got the stats to 30 before the mind trial (because you lose appeal every other day if you dont mingle), but gave up because you cant pass through the doors? pick all the options, have to try another door you cant pass, other than that decent so far
also i bought the 7 leaf clover with the allowance, does it even do anything or was that a waste of money

Looks reall good and has an intresting premise, but right now it's just a load of clicking stuff and hoping something will happen. Maybe in a year it could be great, right now, it's a lot of nothing and fumbling. I'm keeping this in mind, though

 

[Bubilonka]

This game is so generic im getting so booored playing it and grind for nothing.. without any gamemodes or other functionality its supper uninteresting it will hardly sell as SFW. In other words if the dev decides to add nsfw/sex scenes they must be really REALLY GOOD... because we waited so long otherwise this game is dead AGAIN.

Okay so this game IS a bunch of schedule planning and grinding with currently no reward.

Bet.

Looks fucking fantastic and the character designs are great, but goddamn there really is no reason to currently grind shit lol

Also yeah a few other complaints that still stick out.

A few missing BGs, no real tutorial to teach you what to do right or how to maintain anything, you can't save the game anywhere which is a Ren'Py staple but removed entirely (this could be forgivable if the game was playable), and honestly, I can forgive the lack of lewd stuff if the game was entertaining or playable, but right now, neither are really the case. There needs to be something to get people interested this early, even if it's just upskirts or stumbling on other prefects in the bath, just little shit like that.

Slow burns are fine (Dissonance is pretty neat) and having a lack of sexual content IS fine! There's plenty of game on this site that can apparently freely post non-porn games and be popular. Neither of those are the case here, near as I can tell.

Again: the art is fantastic. The characters are designed really well to get me wanting to see more of them and the backgrounds (when they're there) are also great. But beyond that, if all I'm doing is grinding to really no true reward (near as I can tell, as even the champion games can't be won) then what even is the point? lol
