VN - Ren'Py - University of Problems [v1.6.5 Extended] [DreamNow]

Quite enjoyable so far (first time playing this and only an hour and a bit into it), with excellent models. The "animation" (not really worth the name) sucks big-time though, consisting of just 3 or so frames. Basically it's stop motion, not true animation at all.

The story is what it is; the old high school/university trope.

The writing could really do with some polish. It's not bad, but it's a somewhat weird mix of correctly used colloquialisms and sentences with an unmistakably slavic structure. A bit jarring, but it could have been sooo much worse. Then again, a little more proofreading could have made it quite a bit better.

All in all a 3.5, but since that won't fly it'll have to be a 3. So far at least.

Edit: OK, so a bit later there are proper animations. Fine, let me make it a 4 then.

Really love the game, the animation style is really good and story is also good so far, just little bit surprised ( and little disappointed with Carol ).

Dream now, you did write some powerful dialogues and believable story with Carol and I was really hoping some more action with this character, for the whole update she cried out that she is not a whore everyone think but just jump on MC dick while he was sleeping,.

You could have easily stretch one or more updated with some good dialogues and scenes with her ( Like DPC is doing with Jill, which might be triggering some fans but they are more stick with the game because of this )

I know that this is a VN and most people come for Lewd scenes, I don't know why I'm writing this much for a adult game character but I was really convinced with her character development.

University of problems is a Game that surprised me, not because I thought it was going to be bad, but by just how good it was. This is the first Uni/ College AVN that I have played where the theme is one of tackling the darker side of Higher education. Things like Bribery and Nepotism, instead of the theme of getting drunk and acting stupid like most others of this genre.

The writing is well done. The characters are something that this dev should be applauded for. For being such an early release, he has put in just enough of each character to let us know what each of them are about, or foreshadow the mysteries that they may hide from the player yet to be discovered. I initially thought that some of the girls' models left something to be desired, but I quickly came around on that and I honestly like every model in one way or another. Mostly Petite style bodies, but not so petite as to leave most players wanting too much.

The early Sex scenes are quite lacking, but for a start they're more than acceptable. However, I am happy to report that this most recent update has seen a drastic change in the quality of scenes and their animations, they're honestly quite good now so that is exciting going forward.

The music is great, not your basic songs you have heard a hundred times, but songs that suit the scenes. From fun and upbeat, to Slow and somber. A couple of these really amplified the game to greater heights in terms of emotion and investment.

Overall, I see nothing but great things in this games future, and I will be eagerly watching it's development. The sky's the limit for this Developer.

Some good fresh air, so far v0.2.5 this game seems very balanced in plot, scenes, renders.
It rushed too quickly in sex scenes, but it is understandable from the DEV trying to capture the audience.

Really hope this game can progress on the same current path, maybe creating some more sophisticated situation and longer and more detailed sex scenes.

By the way I like the anal scene during the party.

EXCITING SITUATIONS AND EXCELLENT CHARACTERS

If you like games like Beying a DIK you are in the right place.
The characters feel real and the story is surreal but more realistic than many other games

really really good but dialogue is really off. sounds like it's maybe translated from russian? syntax and grammar is weird but the designs/story/character and general core of the writing is solid. some of the word choice doesn't fit the characters tho.

big commend on the attention/render on vaginas/anuses. that's 1 point where this game really sticks out from most. not tooo grindy. the dialogue to sex content ratio is okay. has some really good character designs. really like roxy.

Good writing and dynamics. Interesting and beautiful female characters, even if some models are somehow similar. Rachel and Natalie are among the most beautiful faces in all of the current VNs. Overall, excellent game.
v0.2.0

Great renders with awesome models and stable storytelling.
As one of a growing number of school setting Games on F95 this game brings some top notch renders and simply gorgeous models to the table. The models have very unique features, they are clearly distinguishable and most of all they don't have the standard DAZ frozen plastic vibe that you often get from other games.
The game is heavily oriented on the probably most successful game on this site. There is a linear storyline, with free roam events and a sorority. So not a big plus on creativity here but the implementation nevertheless is technically superb and like they say if you borrow then do so from the best.
For me what is missing for the 5 star rating is the sense of involvement that you only get from the truly great games. When you actually feel like you are starting to know the people you meet and starting to recognize yourself in the person you play. This is true for the characters we meet in this game but most of all it is true for the MC himself. In order to be immersed in the game we need to understand and connect with the MC, because the most important character in any game is not any love interest or friend, but it is the person we are supposed to play.
However I certainly see the potential for a 5 star here in the future, let's wait and see.

Gameplay: 5/5 | Renders: 6/5 | Story: 3/5 | Writing: 3.5/5
GRADE: 4.3/B+

Good Points
+ We have a lot of different girls/women with a lot of different stories. Every one of them has their own interesting and well-written story and we can even say some of them feel pretty unique as well.
+ The art style looks pretty good. Character designs are cute, hot, and attractive a lot. And even feet models look good for people who don't like feet.
+ Sex scenes have well-made animations along with well-made positions/angles. They look pretty good, foreplay scenes are attractive and good enough to support main sex scenes (penetrations)
+ Choices matter, they can lead end of relationships, open some sex scenes, or cause you to lose them and you are not forced to consume any content, you can just say no if you don't like something, simple as it should.

Bad Points
- The main story is not that interesting, things mostly revolve around girls having their own stories and MC being involved with them, and while it's interesting, especially after the last couple of updates it's become repetitive and boring.

For The End
Well, what can I say? This is a pretty good game, but with the last couple of updates it's become boring to play, still a good game, but we need some game-changer moves.

Pleasantly surprised by this one! Judging from the pictures i was expecting a decent game with meh renders, but the renders are actually a lot better ingame than i thought they'd be. I love the story and the university vibe, since that isn't one of the most common ones here. It's obviously nothing super new, but it's a nice change.

The storyline is great, i for once didn't skip a couple lines, like i normally do. The girls are great, a good mixture of types imo. I think this game can become one of the big ones, when it gets more content. I feel like the last sex scene could actually happen a lot later in the story, i wouldn't mind her teasing a bit longer. But for now it's good to atleast have it in the game.

Well done and i can't wait to see what you'll add!

If I was reviewing this for myself I would probably give it 4 stars, but that's just because I was hoping for a sandbox element, but given that it's not that kind of game I would say for what it is, and the quality of the content it deserves 5 stars. There were only 2 things I wasn't too fond of, the clunkyness of the phone, and the lack of insight into choices. The insight issue is easily fixed with the walkthrough mod, which I would consider pretty much essential. The phone just need to be refined a little bit more because I felt like some of those events could be done though an active text style mechanic, rather than hanging up the phone and getting another text right away which you would have to go back into to access. Aside from those 2 things I would saw the quality of the art and animation is top notch, and very compelling if you know what I mean. Looking forward to future updates.

Before officially starting the analysis, know that I made all the possible choices in the game, re-played it 3 times and read all dialogues.

I didn't find any bugs when playing and/or reading this novel, I liked the presentation of each character and the personality of each one of them. Some characters did not have as much use because it was a project start by the developer, for example: characters like Sara and Natalia, other than that, the rest of the things are good and/or acceptable, nothing that makes you hate or leave aside the novel.

Below are my notes for each item:
Graphics = 10.0
Dialogues = 10.0
Plot = 10.0
History = 9.5
Protagonist = 9.0
Characters = 9.0
Verdict = This work is worth reading and playing.
(sorry for any connotation errors, I don't speak English fluently)

So far pretty polished. It has a "feel good" vibe.

The girl models are gorgeous so far, and the dialogue feels fresh for a school/university theme. They feel "cute" both visually and in personality but still somewhat natural. They feel feminine, I think it's the right word.

Also doesn't feel cliché as many other adult games (besides some minor stuff but hey, it's an adult game). Looking forward to see if the next releases continue to be with this quality, so far pretty pleased with it.


Very underated game on these forums, and definitely deserves more attention.

just play early version of this game.. has a lot of content for version 0.2, and a really promising future.. there render are good, girls are attractive, the music suits the mood very well and story is engaging so far.. could be one of the best game if it continue with this quality and frequent updates.. well done!

After version v0.6.5 I felt like I needed to update my review of this game and take off a point. The game still has a lot of potential because of its visuals and setting, but good lord the writing needs some serious work. While I appreciate that every girl has her own story thing going on to keep things somewhat interesting, some of the scenarios this game presents are as "cheap porn" level of predictable as it gets. The dialogues are just plain bad because of the LIs acting all way too cutesy for their age, and because of our MC constantly sounding like either the biggest pervert, or the biggest, most lovestruck white knight on earth. There's no middle ground here. And, for the most part, there is still no buildup and no sexual tension to be found either.

I honestly don't see this game having any chance to improve or realize its potential, at all. Devs need to hurry up and realize that the quality of the text is just as important if not more important than the quality of the assets on screen.

This is a fun game that has more than just a lust and corruption counter. It rewards different styles of playthrough. Good boys gets action too.

The girls are all pretty and the pace is good. No need to ramble on in a long intro when it can get feed to us in a trinkle as we need the info.
There seems to be a few typo's and a few replies that sound a little odd but that will happen in a project as big as this and everything in the UI is cool and works perfectly.

Really impressed with this, I'm a sucker for school setting games and this is one of the better ones I've played. Dev clearly has talent, the writing is impressive and so are the renders. Generally just a really entertaining game.

Updates seem to be frequent and pretty sizeable too, overall one of my favorites!

if consider all elements of this game separately - except beautiful 3d work - nothing special. But in general - playing it - i've got a lot of pleasure. Probably, it's the most important)) And for 0.2 version - was done huge amount of work.
Beautiful and enjoyable game.
Thank You very much!

Pros+++

• Renders.
• Girls are pretty nice both looks and personality wise.

Cons---

• Similar looking characters.
• The dialogues feel a bit off.
• Story is similar to literally every other college-setting game.

Off to a good start.

PS: Rachel and Carol best girls.

A fairly promising VN to say the least. The renders are superb with nobody looking overly busty or disturbingly anorexic; they're all rather realistic and the textures are very clean

All characters are very likeable and have relatable personalities; nobody's traits are exaggerated to a degree to force us to like or hate someone just yet. You can tell the MC ofc has the libido to have sex but it's nice to see that he isn't just thinking to fuck everyone he sees and seems to have a pretty wholesome personality.

Only thing I will say is that the dialogue is sometimes a bit choppy and showcases a decent amount of grammatical errors, both instances usually going hand in hand. However, I'm not going to hold that against the dev with what looks to be a promising game. I look forward to what he has next
