Ren'Py - University Days [S1: Ep.17] [GREEBO]

Pro’s

• The renders are good, with some attractive models.
• Animations aren’t bad.

Neutral

• English is ok. But not really much story
• It’s a fuckfest…mc fucks everyone. Guess this depends if you’re into that or not.

Cons

• MC looks and acts like a dumb 16 year old in college.
• You have no agency as the MC. Pretty much a kinetic novel but not tagged as such
• You cannot avoid fucking anyone that I’m aware of.
• 3 or 4 scenes are behind a paywall and unfortunately it looks like episode 4 ends with a major scene behind a paywall.

This falls right around a 2.5 but more negative than positive imo so giving it a 2.

I passed on this game partially because of the low score until now. It was a mistake on my part.

The game has hot renders, varied love interests that don't all look like they're from some other game. The game is sometimes rather direct to get to fucking, but it does not feel like some other games where it makes the scenes feel meaningless. It's more like everyone's just really horny. I think this game could be rated either 4/5 or 5/5, but I'll go with 5 because this game doesn't deserve it's current rating.

It could have some improvements in terms of bit more foreplay and original setup with a couple characters and music sometimes didn't match the scene super well.

The femdom is really mild in version 0.3.2 at least. It's essentially two women with fearsome reputations that play some games with you to get your help and your dick. In one of those interactions it seems like the player is able to shift the power dynamics to his favor already or at least contest them.

There doesn't really seem to be any dislikeable LIs for me in the game despite a wide cast which is a good sign. Hope the dev manages to explore all the characters.

I really enjoyed the game thus far. The story and people are well written and you are invested on the MC journal. Hopefully the game visual can be improve upon on the next update. I will keep my eyes on this game.

The renders are nice and the music is decent, but that's about it. This is just another fuckfest game with an MC that's so big of a loser that he gets bullied by girls and pushed around by teachers but somehow all the girls want his dick for absolutely no reason.

I was looking for games with male domination, but let me assure you, there's no domination here and if there is, it's definitely the girls who are dominating. He gets blackmailed into sex by his classmate and then gets forced into doing whatever one of the teachers want. And oh god, the choices. What do you think the choices are? It's about whether or not you perv on your family members or random people. You don't get to decide if you want to become a slave for sexual favours, cheat on your girlfriend or do anything. It's all decided for you. Might as well drop all pretences and call this a kinetic novel.

In this wide community, there are people who hate and love different types of sexual situations or perversions and fetishes, each one is free to choose their tastes. This novel is for those who like to have a beautiful, adorable and affectionate girlfriend and who, despite everything, enjoy the charm of enjoying other women. Personally, in the freedom that dreaming and imagining in a novel gives you, it seems like a good genre to me. Perhaps if there are two aspects that if they improve it could be an even better novel, the first is the kid's face that MC has and the second is the lack of freedom to choose different situations, in many aspects it is almost a kinetic novel. But I applaud the artist, it's a good job and I look forward to the next episode.

What is the point of Luna being MC's GF? MC straight out cheats on her, without giving the player a choice. And speaking of choices, there are basically none, the only choice you have is whether or not MC should imagine a girl in her underwear. Give the game the label "Kinetic Novel", because that's what it is. You can already tell that this game is going to be a completely fuckfest in the future.

The game really doesnt offer much now to like. There are many big flaws, and i believe the dev should correct them otherwise the game will remain mediocre.

- Remove the gf. Thats so unnecessary. She has absolutely no reason to be there. If dev is planning to make this a harem style game, just remove the gf.
The MC left and right cheats on her, fantasizes about every female. What's the need of the gf? dont understand whose fetish is that.

- Might as well label this a kinetic novel. There are absolutely no choices in the game and I just spent 20 minutes clicking.

in the current state, i would have given 1 star, but increased one to at least honor the effort of the dev. As it is still beta, i urge the dev to correct these mistakes and maybe then the game will be better.

It took me awhile to figure out just how I wanted to start this review. I figured I'd start with some of the positives like the grammar isn't bad, but when you're reaching that far down for praise, you know that this game really isn't that good, while at the same time, I couldn't just give it one star and say it was terrible because that's not entirely true. At the end of the day, this is a below average game that will undoubtedly piss some players off for a variety of reasons. What did it for me?

Well, one thing in these games I hate is starting with a girlfriend if there is going to be multiple LIs (but no harem path), because if you don't like the gf, you have to be a bastard and either break her poor heart or cheat on her. In this one, I am not especially attracted to the gf (what can I say? I think nose rings are ugly), so I want to dump her, yet we're railroaded into being lovey-dovey with her at the start and she's the first sex scene that you can't even turn down... That kind of thing annoys the hell out of me, because I want to break up with her quickly, not be forced to remind myself just how big a bastard I am for this decision.

The models are on the whole, unspectacular, although I do like the two blondes. Everyone else is kind of meh or even downright weird looking. MC looks like he's prepubescent as well (this MC certainly has appeared in other works before and I just don't get what devs see in this guy to keep using it). Of course the boyfriend of the mother is another one that pops up sometimes as well, even though the guy is basically a Cro-Magnon or something dressed in modern clothing. I don't know why devs use these particular DAZ renders over and over again. Are they free? I wish they would stop.

The current length is pretty short, but it didn't really take that long for me to realize that this was a fairly mediocre title swimming in a sea of mediocre titles. It's bland and forgettable. I guess if you can fap to it, fine, but there are better stories with better art around here.

Review for Demo

Nice college game without any loops or tomfoolery to keep the player off track. Seems fairly straightforward, story is nice, characters look and seem nice. Quite cheerful too. Does need some work as it is fairly short.

Pros
-Good characters
-Good story
-Interesting premise

Cons
-Is short
-Lack of choices
-Some odd clipping here and there

Game has lots of potential. I hope creator improves as it goes on. Will keep an eye out for this.

It's decent so far. Very straightforward, cozy game that has a lot of happy sex. Girls are cute enough, and the dialogue is fine. Nothing special, but nothing's really bad about it either.

Thanks for putting out this demo Greebo, I wanted to play something cute like this.

Edit: Oh, and also I posted a bunch of pictures with dialogue on page 10 of the forum so you can see what the new renders look like, as well as get a feel for the dialogue.

Edit:

v 0.2 update for 5/23/23

Anyways, as for my thoughts on this update, they're pretty much the same. It's decent, fun experience with pretty good art.

Oh, and the girls are really cute, and I like how the MC is short and decent looking, and he doesn't have an oversized dick.

Fake edit: Actually, you know what, this needs to be said, if I have the choice of incest, or no incest, I choose no incest, and this game does a really really good job with this. It doesn't just lazily relabel your mom and sister as landlady and roomate. You have no reason to think that they're your family. More of this please, game devs.

In fact, that is such a pleasant surrpise that I'm adding an extra star to my review, this now gets an arbitrary score of 4 out of 5! Thank you so much for this GREEBO!

There is one minor nitpick I wanna add though, although I won't let it affect my review score. I'm pretty sure that there's some stuff missing from your gallery, and possibly your replayable scenes. With the gallery at least, I kept getting notifications saying that they were added to the gallery, but I already had all of them unlocked, so I don't think there was anything new.

Keep up the goodness Greebo, I'd love to see an update like this every 1-3 months.

Based on v1.0.
This is bad. Generic cliche plot where horny hormons overpumped MC is "prince charming" and all female NPC's fall for him just like that. Writing is pale, it's sex for the sake of sex, no scenes build-up, nothing.
Unfortunately, there are forced, unavoidable sex scenes. Player have no choice at all to refuse them.
Visual aspects of the game are not bad, most of the models are really appealing and nice looking.
If you are looking for a game with freedom of choice, game where player decides what happens and which chicks MC will fuck and which not, than don't bother with this.
Would not recommend to others.

The pace is fast and the story is straightforward.
There's no annoying sandbox exploration, and there's no pile of options for the player to choose from.
The overall style is happy and relaxed, and even without patches, I feel very involved in the game.
It's only a start, but it feels good to play, and it's worth looking forward to future updates.

Based upon this 1st demo i have to say i like the characters and music choices so far.. I'll admit to writing this review early on in playthrough but what i've seen so far i'm impressed with..
As a college game fan.. i wont list the comparisons.. (chances are if your here you have played them too and enjoyed them) Anyway as a college game fan i'm always on the look out for a new title in the genre that fills the void in development cycles of 'other' titles..
This VN has potential to do well in this market I just hope the dev team can balance the lewd with story as well as delivering a decent college type experience as well.. something a lot of the other try hards skip over.. College games need a balanced mix of the right elements to do well and i'm hoping with a title that even uses University in its name, that we get to see a title that can deliver with emotion as well as the usual tropes for the genre..
Good Luck Guys
