VN - Ren'Py - Unleashed [v0.7.0b] [CarbonBlue]

td/dr; This game is worth checking out. There isn't a ton of content yet, but it's off to a great start. Good renders and story content.

Note: There may be some slight spoilers, but I'll try to avoid anything major. This review currently covers version 0.4.1.

Story: So far I'm definitely liking the story. The MC model is good enough to understand why so many girls are flirting with him and the story doesn't start with everyone wanting to have sex with you immediately, which is good.

The story also has a hook. There are odd hints all over the place, and strange things happen when you select certain options. It feels a bit like Fringe or Lost in the sense that you'll invariably want to try to figure out what else is going on. We'll have to see how things shape up when the story is done, but for now it's interesting.

I particularly enjoyed the interactions with Shannon. She's quite... something. There's a fair amount of light hearted banner, which is quite fun.

Models/Annimation: The models are all of high quality and the renders are good. There are no real animations but there are quite a few renders and you'll want to pay attention to some of the interstitial renders.

Sound: There are no sound effects, but there is music and it comes and goes at the right times. Also, the music does seem to fit the scenes.

Final Point: I have no idea where this story will end up right now, but it's definitely worth adding this to your game collection.

This game shows a lot of promise. The renders are really good, interesting looking characters and not just another copy-paste of stock characters like most ren'py games, the story is short but it seems to go in a good and interesting direction, and the humor is actually very well done. Overall a fun game, hope it gets developed further.

Unleashed has a lot of potential. The character designs are well done, and the group dynamic shown in what the game currently has is intriguing. There's obviously a lot of behind the scenes stuff between the girls the story is just getting into so far. I'm enjoying the humor in the writing as well, but there are a couple of instances with fake error codes that are jarring the first time you see them. I do hope the updates get larger as the story continues, though I am under the impression from the Patreon page that hardware may be a limiting factor in this. Overall it's a good start, and I hope the dev gets more recognition as the game continues, this game deserves a play if you haven't done so yet.

Been playing this since it's 1st release and I have to say it's off to a great start. The character models look great and while no major overarching plot has been presented yet, this is one of the few VN's that I actually laugh at their jokes. (Especially the red-head, her lines are hilarious to me.) Overall I think this can be great and hope as it gets more popular releases continue to come out and bigger in size.

I know that not all games are for everyone. I happen to like this game and to be honest it is in my top 5. I happen to like all the girls however I do have a favorite. I happen to like Carbon's humor, I really do laugh out loud playing this game. It is worth a try in my honest opinion.

A bit of everything actually. Light hearted humor that can get pretty dark, with some drama sprinkled on top. Alongside a bunch of interesting and hot characters, plus a pretty chill MC all things considered. Really looking forward to more updates, definitely a game to watch.

Definitely an up-and-comer. Really high quality renders, the writing is pretty funny (although the characters are a little outlandish) and the UI is well put together. Biggest gripe is the lack of content at the moment, but that just makes me look forward to whats coming.

Really refreshing game. Really looking forward to seeing where this game goes and eagerly awaiting future updates

World: The MC is a good looking guy, not a generic slob. Girls fall for you "pretty quickly" --- but the immersion isn't completely broken/unrealistic.

Writing: Great writing and unique personalities for the girls. None of them are generic.

Visuals: Excellent models/renders. Even some unique use of lighting during a thunderstorm sex scene (spicy).

Limited sex scenes at the moment [Version 0.4]. What's there is ok - but really not enough to judge at the moment.

Foreplay/flirting/tension seems good though!.

Digging it so far. The psychologically twisted women are refreshing and frustrating at the same time. Looking forward to future updates. I am sincerely hoping that this project has a 'completed' label in its future because finding out where these crazy ladies end up should be loads of fun.

Love the game but I'm always upset by how little content there is (At least that I've seen). I can play through it in what feels like an hour. Might be longer. Helps I've played it once.
Besides waiting for it to develop, no real downside. Not sure how much of a harem route there's going to be. Hopefully a decent one. All routes worth exploring.

Awesome.
A very nice surprise here. You have the usual house full of women, but the way you get there is ok, no incest here. Graphics are good, story is great.
A real contender for best game of 2021, if the developer starts updating faster. He´s got my money so no excuses.

it's hard to judge a game thi early... but! here we got an excelent game with what would seem to be a simple premise.... a yound guy moves in with a family friend's family... we've seen this many times already, or did we?
the girls are gorgeous and the dialogue witty, and even the bitchy Maeve has a sweet side to her... and no, I'm not talking about her ass... the game is self-aware and in a playfull way breaks tropes... you'll never look at a knife the same way... did I mention Shannon is a cutie and a redhead?
the renders are superb mixing light and darkness, sounds and silence....
animations at times look woody, and that's the only fault I think I could find in this game.
choices, choices choices... those are what matters to me, and here we got choices that while could seem small, change how other characters react to the MC and if a shower talk will result in something more.... if you need another argument to play this.... Angel is what you're looking for

Man what can I say I really love this one. The renders are good and some are very sexy but what I like to most are the characters. They all have their own personalities and the humor is just there. Would recommend 10/10.

Eight month time for four updates was my first thought when I saw this game, but genre and pictures looked OK so I downloaded it.
The story is really slow developing with just a small amount of sex and nudity yet. The storytelling and the humor is first class, one of the best I found here until now. I laughed hard and loud for a few times, sometimes the camera position is worth a grin for its own.
It is really a nice game with funny girl characters I´d like to know in real life, the plot is immersive and believable, I guess the author is older than 35 - at least there are nearly no childish jokes, which is somehow refreshing.
Because of the slow developing in the past, I´d probably wait for a year to have a look at this game again. I hope CarbonBlue continues his good work so far and don´t abandon it.
It´s absolutely worth a look even there are nearly no sex scenes so far.

English is not my first language and I don´t want to look up every word - sorry in advance.

Great game overall. The writing is fun and the renders are good.
You get attached to the characters and that's always a good sign.
Hope it continues this way.

I also like that the game focus on its main characters. it doesn't try to ass 1000 new characters every episode. There's 4 girls it's enough

----------------

I thought this game was actually better than it is. But then update 0.4 came.

It has great character designs, nice jokes, okay dialogues. Renders would be good if not for weird lighting and inconsistent backdrops. Scenes were fine before, and now they're staged as poorly as it gets. Transitions are rough and unpleasant too, nothing even close to how the sex scene at the end of ep3 was (best scene in the whole game, by the way). So yeah, the dev can make truly beautiful content, but most of the time it's nothing special, and, in case of episode4, simply bad and lazy.
The dialogue quality suffered as well as visuals. The dev still tries to commit to the comedy part and fails, making the jokes feel forced and unnatural. Can't say the humour was perfect before, but sometimes it's just pushed too far.

I'd give it 2/5 if the whole game was on ep4's level.

This game is the definition of bland with the only positive thing being the artwork and it is good, all the girls look unique and not over the top, the backrounds are all nice and not many repeated scenes.

As for the characters, the MC is another one dimensional masochist character who only thinks with his dick, forgiving any transgression or the attitude of anyone and will go along with anything for the chance at sex.
Example: There is a standard mother type(desperate for sex and an easy score).
Two sisters one who hates(but not really) and one who likes you and one has a wild friend.

Story so far is nothing, really nothing there is no story other than guy moves in with 3 girls and there is another girl hanging around.

Choices are really 100% meaningless as some wont even let you choose one of the "choices" and the others dont change characters attitudes at all.

If your a bit of a masochist you might like this game but even then you might want to wait for more content.

Played too many games and thought that this one will also be just a copy and paste job. This game is a masterpiece so far!

Not only the renderes are superb, the story really kills it. Was fun to read and hopefully the quality will stay the same.

I rarely give ratings on here but I just gotta give this game one. It may look like every 3dcg game in this website from the pictures but honestly the humor and dialogue really hooked me in this game. Everything is just really smooth and the characters are really interesting. 10/10
