VN - Ren'Py - University of Problems [v1.5.0 Remake] [DreamNow]

Pro: truly great renders (some of the best out there so far), beautiful models, at least some meaningful choices
Meh: story & dialogues are ok for such a game, but could be better
Con: female bodies essentially look the same

Surprisingly good renders, animation, sound track, and storyline. One of the better games discovered. Good character development and length. Game mechanics all work very well, phone, notebook, saves, etc.

Hard to say what I liked more in this VN, girls or story.

There's no end of the world, no huge mafia plot (well, kinda is, but nothing life threatening for MC), just school life, some bullies, naive girls, good girls, horny girls, parties etc.

It's a simple game on surface, but lots of fun to go through. Plenty of content for some girls, but how the hell is dev going to bring everything to an end is anyone's guess. There are way too many possibilities and variables for it to end cleanly.

Realism be damned, give me harem ending

Well first things first... Awesome renders! Now that's been said the setting is a basic one alright, a college themed game but the stories are quite interesting although the writing is quite flat in many places but that doesn't make it bad! Aside from renders the game also has animations which are also quite good! A little downside is the "forced" encounters and "pushes" towards some characters when you have from the beginning outright ignored them as well as the the 1-option-only text messages which don't really make sense. All in all a very good game worth the time you put into playing with good-quality renders and animations and a simple yet intriguing story. If someone is looking for a college theme game well he should definitely try this one!

IMO the story of an erotic game shouldn't be too complex, it's just to give context. The story is decent, not bad not simple so is fine for me.

The game has so good renders, the erotic scences are awesome and they are animated! but it hasn't sound effects or voice acting, so you only will listen a soft music.

Currently (v1.1.5) has a lot of content and there are some girls you have to sex scenes yet so I suppose the game has a great future.

Lastly, this game has some of the best girls that you will found in a VN, like Sasha, Roxy, Nikky or Lexi.

This game is so fucking goofy lmao. Hee-hee.

The dialogue is so fucking ridiculous I can't stop laughing long enough to get a boner.

I think whoever wrote this has never interacted with a real human in their entire life.

The renders are good but I just can't get over this writing man, it's so fucking bad.

How the fuck is this game rated so high?

"She's amazing. She is definitely no more than 25-27 years old, but at the same time she already has that elegant femininity that is inherent in a women at a more mature age. Her perfect combination of business dress code and moderate sexuality is simply maddening."

My brother in Christ... You think this is how an 18 year old freshman in college thinks or speaks?

Another gem: "She polishes the frenum of my penis with her tongue so gently and intensely. Damn, this is just crazy feeling!"

Holy shit kill me.

Hee-hee.

This is a really nice looking game that suffers from a few issues that hold it back a bit.
First the good.
The game is very nice looking, the renders are crisp (if a bit on the bright side) well framed and the animations, except for a few early ones, are excellent. The models are all very nice looking as well, if a bit samey. That doesn't really bother me because, well they're all hot, but if you are looking for a variety of body types and facial types you really aren't going to find that here. The interface is nice and functional too

The mechanics are fine, there are either or choices and you can't do everything, but the game isn't super pathy or complex

The writing is hit or miss, the characters conceptually are engaging and they aren't all doe-eyed virgins which is nice. There are major plot points and character backgrounds that may put the ultra sensitive off, but it's a breath of fresh air imo. The issue is the dev's uneven command of English sometimes dulls the impact of the narrative and characters. Everything is understandable but like many adult games the writing could use an English speaking editor. It's not a massive issue and i'm interested enough in everything to want to see where the game is going

The porn is excellent, as I've mentioned the visuals are great and the dirty talk/dialogue is nice too.
overall an excellent game that could be better but still recommended for pretty much everyone except for the College porn game weary (although this is one of the better representation of the genre) and those who need all the LIs to be virgins

One of the best games here.

• Really amazing renders,
• Animations so good, but so good, OMG,
• Super realistic,
• Nice story but could be better,
• Missing side games.
• Quite amazing girls...

Thanks for this great game....

Keep the amazing work...

Storyline that is very popular these days, living a student life with all privileges and problems, though in here frats depicted a little bit different .
I like the characters and story for most parts, only thing that I feel missing is intersection , you can date all of girls in same time , that shouldn't be possible because they all know each others and that would be conflicting.
Other than that University of Problems is very lovely and cute game .

It's a nice game. It kinda reminds me of Being a DIK, but with a lower budget.

Story:
Pretty basic. College life where you get to bang girls at regular intervals. It's been a while so I'm restarting it again. Maybe it gets better

Girls:
They look very similar, but overall they are all cute and are rendered well.

Language:
The English is okay i guess. Some weird sentencing, word usage and grammar errors, but nothing major to break the immersion.

Lewd:
It has some really nice and erotic scenes. The animations are mostly static with a few images repeating.

Conclusion:
All in all, it's a nice game that i hope the developer(s) finish.

Do i recommend it? Yes.

Solid 8/10.

Competes with another well known AVN in that same college Renpy VN genre, but that of course still remains the top benchmark in this genre.

Wasn't a fan of the models since the faces and bodies look so similar, but got used to it. The English used here is a bit a spotty, especially at the start too, with an odd expression here and there.

The animations drastically improve as you progress through the game and are quite good by the end of the latest version. I also appreciated the effort that went into the UI - it stands out and adds more competency to the game.

My main problems are the story/pacing. The MC is kind of bland but draws in pussy like crazy. At certain parts, it's just one hangout session with one girl followed by another with little sense of time.

It's sometimes a bit unclear where your choices resulted in choosing a scene with one girl and missing out on another (e.g. Yuki and Sasha). There's a walkthrough to help with that though.

The way stats work are a bit weird and could have been implemented better.

Close to 5 stars as of v1.1. Plenty of girls to go around: each one is stereotypical but unique in a way. Classic college drama with a meh conflict. Good renders and animations. I recommend to play with walkthrough though as of right now you can pursue pretty much anyone with right choices. Also that's the reason I'm not giving it 5 stars. My MC is sort of a lucked out casanova right now. All the girls wanna keep quiet about the romance and MC doesn't have coinciding dates or meetings with anyone. Some public actions don't cause a gossip around the campus and affect the relationship with other girls. There is only one LI which is dependent on choice. So it is an issue in a genre contending with BAD. I hope my MC will be punished for this at the end. So we can get 4-5 playthroughs worth of content from this game, then it will be on par with BAD.

Mostly a good game, but not without its flaws.

+ Renders are pretty good,
+ Great animations (for DAZ)
+ Expressive characters (hand gestures, looking around, etc.)

- Way too much inner monologue from the MC
- Horrible dialogue (hello my pretty, my beauty..., tee-hee, hee-hee)
- The MC's stupid fucking face

The game is very well made: beautiful models of girls, there is a very simple and clear plot, there are no extra actions to get some points or anything else that distracts and distracts. Some scenes with Rachel and Carol are generally worthy of the attention of the creators of adult films and books - they are thoughtful, beautiful and have adequate timing. Really liked it in the game. The only note about the drawback is that sometimes the 32-bit game file does not allow you to go through the locations according to the plot and that if you use mods, then you will not be able to load your game saves after the update - only with the same mod you have to play again.

(Original review was 12/7/2022. Review is as of 1.4.0 Extended and has been reduced from 3 stars to 2)

I'll start with negatives so that I can end on a more positive note.

There isn't a whole lot of variety in terms of the bodies of the women. They're all shaped pretty much the same. That shape isn't bad or anything, but there really isn't any variety. The animations improve in later episodes, but again, the women all look too similar from the neck down.

The plot is decent enough, but weirdly there is very little actual school experience here. Maybe it's weird to say, but I kind of wanted to see more of like, actual classes. Basketball is mentioned, and it's even a stat, and you're there for like, ten minutes. I don't really like the fact that the MC and one of the main girls are talking about how much they love each other after only knowing each other for about ten days, but that might bother me more than it would the average person.

The real problem - and there's really not a nice way to put it - is that the translation is atrocious, and hasn't gotten any better in the 15 months since the last time I played it. I respect the effort that goes into designing these, but the resulting word salad that is the narration and dialogue sounds like nothing that has ever been uttered by an English speaker, ever. When it's not nonsensical, the occasional sophisticated word is thrown in. Unfortunately, it's never in a context that has been used in real life, which makes it seem like it just came from a Google search somewhere. And sometimes, it's just absolute unintentional comedy gold, where it's trying to be serious but it ends up sounding absolutely ridiculous.

Also, hee-hee, the actual dialogue is terrible, ha-ha. Tee-hee-hee, at the best it's absolutely cringeworthy, hee-hee, and the lovey-dovey dialogue that the MC has with his sweetie-pies starts within like, 10 days of meeting some of the girls, hee-hee. Ha-ha-ha, mockery aside, I'm really not trying to be mean, hee-hee, but you have to call them like you see them, ha-ha-ha, and it really is that bad, hee-hee. Hee-hee, I get that this is difficult and no one works for free, tee-hee, but if you want to write your story in English and want to be compensated for your hard work, hee-hee, then it's reasonable to have expectations, and this just falls woefully short, ha-ha-ha. Hee-hee, play this game for twenty minutes, tee-hee, and this paragraph won't even feel like competent satire anymore, hee-hee.

On more positive notes, the animation improves as time goes on. Basically every girl is a yoga master, so the resulting positions are...interesting, to say the least. The overall plot is running the risk of becoming needlessly labyrinthine, but so far it hasn't quite hit that point, so it's still pretty interesting. There's some intrigue, there's some mystery, and I never would have imagined that would happen by keeping the MC out of a frat instead of in it. While none of the girls are super memorable, they're at least passable, and a few are more than that.

Lastly, while this is not my thing, it's absolutely worth noting: if you enjoy anal or feet - especially the latter - this has you covered.

15 months later, I can say that the story's potential is absolutely obliterated by writing that is confusing and/or cringeworthy at best, and unintentionally hilarious at worst. More than anything, it needs a complete re-write from a native speaker.

Version 1.1.0

Rating: 7/10

I like this game quite a lot. It's the basic typical VN but the dialogue and relationships between characters are more indepth than most others. The models are good but for me there wasn't the one or two girls who really stand out like there usually are, but none of them look bad.

The story is very limited so the focus is mostly on cycling through the LI's as per usual. This game dedicates a good amount of time just talking and getting to know characters which is a big plus for me, especially if they want some romance angle. The real drawback is due to the style of cycling through LI's you don't spend enough time with the ones you like (It's the same for me in the majority of these type of VN's) This pushes you into wanting to pursue multiple LI's for content and diminishes the romance aspect.

Animations are pretty decent and alot of the sex scenes are well done so no problems there. The music was a solid 7/10 too. Nothing amazing but it did the job.

Conclusion:

The games a slow burner in terms of relationships (still plenty of sex) but due to it still being in development, I have decided to give it a good rating as there's a lot of promising things to build on here. Hopefully the relationships will be fleshed out in future and you will have more time with your chosen LI/LI's (I don't think it's even a month or two in game time so lets see, this is highly dependent on the amount of future content). Worth a try though people, it was fun.

This is one of my favorite VNs, as well as one of the best out there. In all 200+ games of my VN addiction, it's University of Problems that has the absolute sexiest scenes. Surely the developer is some sort of kamasutra sensei. I also have no major cons to list. That is not to say that this is some sort of perfect game; UoP does a lot of things well, but most of these are in the C+ to B+ range; as in it's passable or good, but I've seen better. This VN gets a 5/5 stars, but it's not a strong 5 . So in the absence of "cons", I have added a few "nitpicks" as my constructive criticism. I want the developer to keep doing what they've been doing, but to also challenge and push themselves.

Pros:

• The sexiest scenes from any VN!
• Interesting characters with unique stories
• Phone/Journal are incredibly useful and fun
• Can still be friends with rejected love-interests
• Good storyline and setting
• Stats are earned because of your decisions, so you don't have to grind to get them in order to affect your decisions

Cons:

• (Nitpicky) Renders look good, but could look better..
• (Nitpicky) Relations with Carol happen fast and easy, feeling unearned
• (Nitpicky) It seems you have to be manipulative in order to help and romance Ashley (I could be mistaken)

The game itself is great, but there are some problems .
game is very characteristic, in a harem story, the mc and every girl is in love with heart . Sex animations are rich and very delicate .
There are two issues that I think are critical, and that clearly affect my game experience .
1 : All the girls in the game are slim, although there are some big tits, but these thin bodies can not appear concave and convex curves, the overall picture is not attractive , the images of these girls are too young .
2 : The numerical statistics in the game are too complicated and meaningless. The main character has a large number of different attribute statistics, which are tedious and complicated but not useful in the game. At least for this pure campus harem story, these attributes are too much .
The game as a whole is very good, and the character is very distinct, the slim girls and the school atmosphere is very different from other games .

Very good story line and great interactions with building relationships. Also excellent rendering of the pictures. Combination dating sim and college living. Good progression in gameplay and not too much grinding to progress stories.

One of my favorite games. I'm looking forward for the next release. I'll write a more detailed review once the game is complete, but in general I recommencement this game to everyone.

Obviously it's not perfect, but nothing really ever is. It is easily on the top 10% of the games (I'd say even 2%) so it is a 5/5 for me.

I am looking forward for the next release!
