VN - Ren'Py - University of Problems [v1.6.0 Extended] [DreamNow]

Good game. A bit confusing when it comes to having multiple relationships etc. as there is no harem element i dont think whatever cant wait for it all to come tumbling down around me and i have to do some timetraveling. The character models look good even though they all look strangely bland. Not bland so as to annoy you but too bland to say the look all that attractive.

Also, there is a special place in hell for people that dont tell Ashley everything. She might end up crying but it is a price you must be willing to play. Harrowing scene was seen at that frat party... That has been permanently scarred to my memory sadly. I had to burn every save files up to that point to make sure that I avoided repeating that fate.

But then again, she wanted it. Without your intervention she was fated to become a whore. In essence ashley is a whore. Just closeted. But it is your duty to make sure these women dont end up in that position. Its kind of like a trolley problem.

If you have a woman that you're in a relationship with, naked on the bed and there is someone about to go have their way with the woman do you stop them?

It isnt your duty to stop that from happening she should be able to come to the conclusion out of her own volition. But you do have the ability to stop them so in my view you should do so.

In conclusion, ashley is a closeted slut but you should still stop her from becoming a slut nevertheless even if she isnt worth it really. CERTAINLY NOT BEST GIRL MATERIAL. She is worst girl actually. Worse than Sasha even my god, SASHA. Even that nutjob is better than ashley. Ashley fans are mentally deranged individuals no doubt about it.

Review for v1.0.5

Truthfully I just find this game boring more than anything. I don't have too many major issues with it, but I don't feel any compulsion to keep playing it.

I'm a few hours into it, and there's no real story to speak of. As the overview says you really are just an ordinary guy. I appreciate that the MC isn't just a dumb horny teen, but there's really nothing interesting going on with him either. He almost feels like he exists only to propel the love interests' stories. There's some hints at the classic corruption going on behind the scenes, but it has not been a major focus so far.

The dev's first language isn't English, and unfortunately it shows. Lots of lines read like they got weirdly translated, and dialogue/banter suffers for it. Dirty talk just feels a bit strange and awkward as well.

While the renders are good, most of the love interests look too similar to each other. I think a couple of them have ugly haircuts as well and it's a bit hard to get past, but I'll chalk that part up to personal preference I suppose. Animations do get better as the game goes which is a plus.

One thing I really don't like is that the love interests hardly interact with each other. Everyone gets split up into their separate little stories very quickly, and again I just find that boring.

At the end of the day I'm only really playing this as filler while waiting for other games to update. Maybe it will pick up more as it goes, but it's failed to hook me in the first couple hours.

One of the best erotic games there are, with unique beauties, great sex scenes and decent plot. There are tons of content here, with multiple paths, plethora of options (and women) to choose from, meaningful decisions and various fetishes that should satisfy anyone.

+ Sex scenes and renders are superb.
+ Many love interests to choose from
+ Plethora of options and multiple paths making this game extremely replayable
+ Gameplay here is superb, with very nice smartphone function (one of the best of all games), and non-annoying free-roam
+ Possibly the best game for foot fetish/anal enthusiasts
+ Well written dialogues and characters
+ Interesting plot
+ Frequent updates

Cons:
- Some bugs here and there but nothing egregious (and they are rare plus the dev fixes them after each update)

A really good looking game ,do not judge it based on the beginning animations which were honestly sub par but as u go on the animation quality improves exponentially almost feels like a different game so Kudos to that Dev (ur hardwork is well appreciated)

Now let's get to the cons:-
I don't know if it's becuz i played a lot of college based games before but neither the story nor the characters were that memorable(not to mention the boring dialogues). Infact in a week or so I'm pretty sure i wont remember any of the characters cuz i find none to be that interesting at all

In my humble opinion that is this games biggest drawback so If the Dev is able to add a more compelling story & make the characters much more interesting than this,then this AVN will be on a whole other level

Excellent game.

Good traits:
-Graphism are quite unique and pleasing to watch.
-Animation in early game is extremely poor but then corrected later on. It is really good really quickly.
-MC isn't lame and likeable, female characters are hot.
-Story wise it is solid and not too much dialogue, or at least there isn't too much unnecessary stuff.

Bad traits (Spoiler alert):
-Some characters are pretty useless at this point of the game ( v1.0.0 Extended ), like the dude who wants to join the Frat. He is in your phone contact like he is an important character but you talk to him maybe 2 or 3 times in the game for some trivial stuff. And the relationship with Sara is lacking in my opinion. With the kinky stuff you go through with Carol or Roxy, and the teasing you go through with Rachel and Ashley, the relationship with Sara feels boring.
-There should be some in-game hints about possible relationship development with some characters. A simple refusal for help over a phone call could end a possible relationship with Nikki. And if you don't investigate the porn industry you won't have any possibilities with Lexi. Kind of a shame.
-There is some inconsistency in the scenario also with the relationships. You can have up to 7 relationships, you can have sexual intercourse with a bit more women and yet nobody bats an eye. It is a campus, any news of the sort is generally known very quickly. The canon relationship of the game is pretty much with Carol wholives in the dorm right in front of the MC's one, girls oftenly visit him in his dorm and spend the night with him but he doesn't get busted (Don't get me wrong, I hate choosing between female characters in porn game). BUT if he sleeps with Ivy MC might lose 2 relationships. Wut ? And which brings to Ivy, she should be a main female character because she is one of the hottest.

4.5/5

It's your run of the mill kid goes to university to f--- his way through it story. I do like it, but there's not a lot to make it stand out from the other of the sort. There's one mystery subplot that I do like but it doesn't really take up enough of the story to push the rating up to a 4 and make it stand out. I do like the characters, they are well written and well made, with good design, and the story is interesting enough to keep playing.

Pros :
- Good modeling and animation visuals.
- Okay music
- Free roam mode is pretty straight forward

Cons :
- For that extra immersion factor, dialogue brought to you by Google translate.
- Somewhat incoherent banters
- Most of the situations are like, "Boy, that escalated quickly" or "That's it?"
- Socks. Seriously, why

This is my favorite college themed game, in my opinion it's even better than a very famous other game about basically the same thing.

The reason for that is twofold.
a) I like the female character models a lot in this game, all of them have more or less realistic proportions even if the waists are maybe a tad too thin, but you won't find cartoonish proportions here and no exaggerated body parts - and each and every LI is pretty unique and very beautiful

b) the female teacher is an outstanding character with a great arc and really fantastic scenes later on, this was easily one of the most emotionally rewarding and satisfying parts of the entire game

The game also has a good mix of slow burn characters and characters with whom you can engage with a lot faster, but not to the point of absurdity. It's absolutely believable that a freshman college boy would more or less feel instant attraction to Carol, for example, one of the earliest love interests you can interact with. She's just very, very sweet and very attractive.

You do get more or less your stereotypical archetypes here, so the characters are nothing you haven't seen elsewhere probably, but all of them are well written, in my opinion.

Another thing I liked is that the MC hates fraternities and will not join one, so there are no inane and silly hazing rituals or stupid interactions with even stupider fraternity members. Instead one major arc in the game is about trying to prevent a female character from joining a less than wholesome sorority. Main love love interest Carol is the president, but she's basically a mascot and has no real power, since someone else pulls the strings, but it offers some (mild) conflict and is a major plot point in Carol's arc.

You also get the very shy girls, there are virgins, but all of them are different kinds of adorable and sweet.

UoP is certainly a wholesome game, for the most part, some things here and there can be a bit nasty (the sorority), but it adds some necessary plot and conflict to the game.

And as mentioned above the teacher Rachel is certainly one of the most attractive and interesting "milf" teacher characters in any VN I played. Yes, her arc is of course nothing new, her husband is basically the usual idiot and Rachel will leave him and, if you play your cards right, succumb to the charms of the MC, but her romance is really sweet and wholesome through and through.
You may even feel actually bad about having more than just one relationship when you engage with Rachel (but you can say the same about virtually all love interests). Depending on preference you may want to focus on just a few characters in one playthrough since fooling around with everyone may feel very wrong. Especially with one character who was hurt very badly in her previous relationship by a real scumbag... but if your MC dates girls left and right he will not really be any better, so if you want her, it may be wise to focus on her.

Love interests are entirely optional, you can pick and choose. My MC loves to flirt with disaster so he is currently dating Rachel, Carol and he's giving sex education lessons to a third LI, Ashley, let's see if or how things blow up in his face. But I hope not and that either there is a proper harem and/or the option to amicably break up with someone so you can choose a solo route eventually. If forced to choose my MC would probably go for Rachel. She's just all kinds of awesome. But Carol would certainly pick up a fight. It's a close call between the two for me. Your tastes may of course differ.

Carol is also (despite her involvement with the sorority and being a top cheerleader) quite sweet, there are no bitchy attitudes and it's easy to like her, even if you can get closer to her pretty early in the game which often means the character is a bit superficial, not so here.

Some other characters may act much more reserved or very reluctant early in the game, but over the course of the story they do warm up and become much more friendly.

There are animations of course. There are also options for kinks, you can avoid things you don't like which is always a huge plus and there are no negatives if you tell a LI you don't like certain things.

All in all University of Problems is one of the rare top level VNs and it's especially recommended if you enjoy overall wholesome games. If you do not care so much for vanilla or lovey dovey then UoP may not entirely be your cup of tea, but if you enjoy wholesome content combined with really great looking love interests which are all unique, then University of Problems should be something you will enjoy immensely. It's currently one of the best slice of life college themed VNs in my opinion, even the very best in many ways.

Best game played so far.
Finally a story other than landlady and roommates.
Lots of beauties.
Difficult to choose a favorite.
Still Rachel , Carol and Ashley are most beautiful.
Animations also improved.
I hope it has harem endings.

This is gonna be my first review for a game in this site so better take it seriously. First, I absolutely love those cute, sexy and hot characters this game have provided so far especially Rechael(eesily one of my dream girl of all time). Then, the dev seriously put in good efforts about building great immersive envoirnment despite the fact that pretty much half of those games's topic is about colleague. This game can easily be my second favorite game(No.1 goes to Being A Dik ). I appreciate the dev's work and hope this guy continue providing us with satisying content.

Imho the best College/University themed game on here.
I enjoyed it more than Being a DIK (which is definitely also nice).
The characters are all quite different and have some depth.
Graphics are also more advanced than in Being a DIK

Many girls. Different personalities but similar bodies in most of them. Also, too much (love interest/potential sexual partners) girls to be considered a "serious" story. Not bad in itself, but remove some of the "irrealistic realistic" immersion.

The game has good graphic, music is there and okay even if not really matching the scenes mood.

Story is quite simple but nothing bad for it.

Where the game lacks is focus:
- you can have too much "girlfriend" material, and a harem possibility doesn't seem a realistic and plausible ending, with so many girls. So either it will end in a "choose X girls" and with nothing but those "good" endings, removing the story purpose of the other girls, either you will have a ending with some girls catching your bullshit, destroying MC character in the end.
- girls adds up, each one with her mini-pattern/story for you to be part of, but rarely do the girls interact with each other, and when they do, it's only in their "starting" pairs. Like the two sport teachers who never interact really with any other character, the two best friend (x 2!),. I get that the author tries to bring girls from different circles together, but again, too much girl to have possible good outcomes of it.

So I'm quite content with the game, but for me, it will go nowhere good from there or become less and less immersive. Both are outcomes I would not like.

v0.9.5 Extended

the good:
+nonlinear story
+replayability (choices matters)
+exciting sex scenes
+great renders
+working scene record replay system

the bad:
-most of the girls look too similar
-developer mistakes left in the released versions (thanks to the great and helpful community it is always getting a workaround quickly)

I'm really looking forward to this. It already earned a place on my all time favorite list.

One of the best games on here! Great renders and posing. Animation is so so but that's a given with all these games. Diverse batch of characters, all with some level of depth to them. Vibes are way more on the loving and chill side instead of the manipulative/abuse stuff that most games seem to lean into. Well written in 9/10 cases and a lot of interesting dynamics explored between the characters and the player. Overall 9/10 game!

Love the game... Great Renders and Animations... Interesting story... The models are absolutely stunning... Easily among my favorite school/college-themed games... I love the fact that this game gets regular updates... I would love to see more projects from the developer... Keep up the good work mate...

review of version 0.9
Pros:
+ some nice H scenes
+ some ok girls side stories
+ graphics is ok

Cons:
- some girls look the same just with different hair
- the dialogues are not that interesting, found myself skipping many after initial 30 minutes
- the overall story is average
- pointless free roam sections that do nothing but waste your time

To sum up:
If you have lots of free time then play it, otherwise play some much better games from the genre like A.o.A academy for instance.

I would rate this game 6/10 (where 1 trash, 5 average, 10 masterpiece)

Great story consisted of some funny daily life,romance plot and a little bit revenge plot.This game is similar to BAD,but the story is much brighter than BAD(In my own opinion)I am sick of being forced to join the fraternity and doing shitty thing in BAD.If you want to have some brisk story but some crazy thing,you may love this game.

Love this game. As of v0.9.5 extended its on of the best adult college games out there.

Awesome renders and animations. Character models looks great.
The sex scenes are the best. The story is also good.

Like the inbuild ease of access features like scene replay, character bios , story progress , cheats etc. Also love the extra option where you get alternate sex scenes that are not there in the storyline.

Looking forward to future releases.

Great game! Still trying to re-starting the game again and again bc I still dont know how I want to play it. But great renders and everything. Cant wait for the next update! After reading all the comments so far I tend to re-starting again (dont know why haha)I tend to like blonde LI, but Carol and Rachel stole my heart. In the early part of the game, Carol is the romance route, while Roxy is more of a slutty route, but Roxy's changes as the game progress really makes me think that Roxy's slutty personality is bc of her "friendship" with Abby.

I really like this game bc from the very start u get a tease of a harem route. When u developed Relationship to a certain level with some characters then, said characters will have an acceptable reason to not appear (like Carol need to go to outside tournaments for a couple of days, or Rachel resort vacations).
Once again keep up the great work and hopefully the devs keep having a clear goal about the game!

This game makes you VERY aware that you're playing a game, not anything remotely connected to reality. Each situation is more absurd than the next, people don't act like this, events don't go down like this. Everyone is inexplicably well mannered or attracted to the MC for absolutely no reason. It reeks of a "I am the MC" archetype that's not very flattering.

Apart from the obvious gap in realism, the drama is not bad and the characters are all pretty, even if it's creepy that EVERYONE looks the same. I have a hard time getting over that fact.

I don't wanna tear the game a new one but the artificial feeling it has and the shallow characters within really ruins it. Every attempt at immersion is just ruined.
