VN - Ren'Py - Unnatural Instinct [v0.8.5] [Merizmare]

I think this game gets a weird amount of flak for all the effort that's being put into it.

Pros:

• The developer gives progress updates on the Boosty page every single week. There was a review saying the dev abandoned the game and I have literally no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
• The renders are actually very well done. It has a unique style that haven't seen in too many AVGNs.
• The writing is passable despite the dev being Russian. Like the bar for legibility is incredibly low for AVGNs, where the fast majority of them are full of grammatical and spelling errors that even a 3rd grader would call out.
• There are a lot of girls, but their aren't too many girls. Yet. We're getting there, but right now it's about at the upper limit.

Cons:

• Yes, like many reviews are rightfully pointing out, you don't really get an option as to who you're trying to fuck. Some people are into milfs, while others are repulsed by them. There is no option to say "Nah I'm good" and skip the scene, while also being able to turn girls down entirely.
• The tone of the writing seems like it's changing over time. In the first portion, the MC is hesitant about fucking his family members, but suddenly in the later portions he's walking around like Chad Thundercock, fingering his older sister and drinking milk from his mom's tiddies. I understand the dev probably wants to experiment with what players like best, but I do think consistency is key.
• The whole "landlady/roommate" overhaul is kind of retarded. The game already can't be on Patreon because he's in Russia or something, so changing everyone to be wink-wink-nudge-nudge not related doesn't make any sense, and makes the story sound stupid because why are all of these unrelated people of various ages living in the same house?

For Version 0.8.5:

This game has numerous good moments. The writing isn't the best, simplified grammar and mistakes, but otherwise, it has a lot of girls you interact with, a story for reasons why, buildup, and lots of girls. For me though, I can't give this game any higher because whenever a game with choices makes your choices meaningless the MC is still forced to be with not just one, but pretty much every girl, and the choices only allow you to avoid some scenes or change some scene variation, but have no impact on the story overall that I could tell other than maybe temporarily. Hence, this is mostly a kinetic novel that's a harem. Could be a great game if that's what you're into. However, that's something I'm personally disappointed about especially because it wasn't clear at the beginning it was going to be. Also, the game could use a much better description rather than a teaser about a game it's not. Despite this, some redeeming factors were different girls with different personalities and how it builds up each relationship with at least the ones you like.

Review of [v0.8]

Mediocre game but it can be fun.

PROS

• OK Renders
• Basic Story
• Parody Humor

CONS

• No control of what will be happen
• NO SOUND
• DEV has quite abanndoned the GAME

RATING :

Content: ⭐⭐
Sound:
Renders: ⭐⭐⭐
Characters: ⭐⭐⭐
Animations:⭐⭐⭐

Final conclusion: ⭐⭐⭐

Game would be a lot better if it was in First-Person because the MC is so weird looking. Personality is stupid. He creates conflict then act surprise when someone is upset.

Game saving grace is the other characters in this game.

One of the most beautiful projects, in terms of illustration, among those presented here, and illustrated in an original way, not a carbon copy. By the way, everything is almost standard - a world close to ideal, ordinary youth, hormonal hang-ups, but it is also pleasing that the authors have expanded the range of fetishes, have gone beyond the "monastic" perception. Waiting for updates.

Yeah, it's fine for a fap game. LI faces are pretty pre-2022 cute doll-like pretty, and it has weird tonal differences in what's supposed to be erotic (an icon up top comes up if you want to see a bit of x-ray -- but then you're shown a female's butt sticking out of a garbage can with a bottle in her butt. The eye of the beholder, I guess..)
Then there's a flashback where the LI and MC are kids -- and the icon comes up again, but when you click on it, there's a pic of the girl in a cop car (with "FBI" on the front) -- ohh, I see, that's illegal, I guess. Ha-ha.)
Just a lot of robotic humor and eros like that. Meh.

In the early stages of this game I would have given 4 stars for the quality renders and just how adorable the little sister is. Unfortunately, the farther into it the less plot there seems to be in the story and more situations that don't make sense in order to set up sex. As a previous review pointed out, the MATH class in COLLEGE is taking a field trip to a museum. So many things about that are just off. That lost one star.

The biggest annoyance in the game is the MC's personality. I just can not like the guy at all. That lost another star as I'd rather now just skip the dialogue to see the scenes than listen to him talk or think any more.

[v0.8]

Gave this a (quick) go the other day; it's pretty good, perhaps great even:

• great models, sexy ladies;
• good renders;
• entertaining, lighthearted story;
• good animations;
• lots of content, plenty of sexy/hot scenes;
• good pacing;
• I believe there was no music, I used KoGa3's mod for that. Sfx I don't remember;
• ...

I don't remember everything, it's been a week or so, and it was a pretty fast playthough.


Some negatives / points of critique:

• MC does look a tad feminine (I think it's the eyes);
• MC is in the scene often (3rd person), the all-the-time-the-same (I wonder how much days actually transpired..) outfit/appearance (particularly the skinny jeans he's wearing inside a pair of ugly in-your-face grey/brown sneakers) of MC started to annoy me, looking like a dick next to beautiful ladies, hurting the sexiness of the game/scenes;
• some scenes (I remember just 1 actually, but an important one) seemed too rushed.

Will revisit in the future!

Ok I loved this one! I had a really good time playing
-Easy and fun playthrough
-Hot sex scenes, the expressions an details are top notch
-Great animations
-Beautiful models with a different style.
- Without many side characters.
You shouldn't take the story too seriously, but it's definitely worth give it a try. Thanks to the dev and keep up the good work!!

Like most other "casual freeloading" players, I rarely write a review,- my reason is based on my experience that most of the games (I like) never get finished. Whether it's intended or not - I don't know, lots of them get accused of "milking money" from sponsors. But this game (so far) is IMHO funny as hell, so far a pretty basic story but the humour is up there, amongst the Gods of memes. It's worth playing just for the fun stuff. Sometimes it's subtle and sometimes it smacks you right in the face - good stuff. Good job so far!
5/5 - because it made me LOL so many times, and when I wasn't LOL-ing I was smiling.

I find this truly outstanding in every way. The artwork is exceptional and done in what (as far as i am awarre) a pretty unique style.
All the characters featured and distinct and believable, from the MC right through to even those with a fairly minor role in the story.
The really stand out feature for me though is the exceptionally sharp humour that underpins practically every seen. Ashley, in particular, has had me practically laughing my behind off in nearly every scene she's in.

There is no reason to play this game. You've already played dozens like it.
Standard incest boy comes home to sex-starved mom and sister(s) who are more than happy to go past any morals and straight to sex. I didn't bother to pay too much attention but I think things get hot in the 1st week after the boy comes back home.
Graphics? Well, standard Daz3D renders with standard assets that can be found for free if you know where to look. Not the best graphics I've seen but not the worst either.
Not much choice, just text line after text line after text line. You just there for the ride pretty much. Boring.
If you're in for quick fap then go to a porn site, get the quick release and come back and look for a decent game.

(Review of v0.8)

Just another incest game, without anything special really. The characters are too obviously into getting fucked by the MC ASAP and some of them (mom, your sister...) have faces that make them look like dolls. Facial expressions could be more varied. Even the MC looks feminine, dunno why.

About the only positive I can mention is the fact that you can decide whether a certain character is a female or shemale for those into that kind of thing. Everything else is pretty average.

This is what i would call a Professionally made game, with excellent Animations, & Great Sexy Modals & lots of content, I like the MC And One of the Best games I've played in ages 10/10. Please try to give support to the Dev, As I'm going to do!

Things I liked:

• Most of the characters are hot and horny.
• Charlie's hot as hell, more horned up than a cat in heat, got more energy than a room full of mongooses--mongeese?--on a sugar high, a smidge of crazy (the good kind, I swear), and is very fun.
• MC and Charlie causing an earthquake, shaking her milfy mother's wine glass in the other room. Is it stupid exaggeration? Yes. Do I secretly love it? ...yes.
• That finger-licking chocolate scene from the VIP area of the fancy unnamed restaurant (more on that below). Jennifer may have an exaggerated figure, but that sultry look afterward? Chef's kiss.
• Eva. She's a sweetie, and she deserves better everything.
• Animations are amazing.

Things I didn't care for:

• Cringe. The dev has elected to substitute in mountains of cringe, in lieu of a good plot, and wants you to think there's a story here.
• Incongruent bullshit. Example, Claire gives such a bad handy MC instinctively thinks it's her first time, but when she gives a blowie he suddenly thinks she's got a talent?
• That shirt. That fucking tee-shirt. It's the only fucking shirt he has.
• Speaking of that shirt, everyone wears the same outfits daily. It's like The Simpsons or something. Not even gonna try?
• I know the dev understands the difference between a couch and a bed, they've correctly used the terms at least once... yet there are frequently times where beds are called couches. Why?

Other things which confuse me, but I don't necessarily hate:

• Charlie's nipple piercings look weird because her nips aren't proud. If a dev is going to include piercings, at least make them pop.
• Cheeseburgers for breakfast? There isn't a fast food chain on this planet selling cheeseburgers before 10:30am. Breakfast menu, dev?
• "... but I wish my wife was like my mom." MC got married and didn't tell me? Mazel tov.
• MC apparently goes to the all-women's university. Except the campus cop, that's a guy.
• You might gain weight, and the boys? Well, the boys won't love you.
• I was today years old when I discovered Liv Tyler was 2,778 years old when she married Viggo Mortensen. Doesn't look a day over 2,000.
• Museum field day for the... math class?
• I was today years old when I discovered Vodka isn't liquor.
• Most LIs are navel-gazing. Claire is into stargazing. Who'd've thunk it?

I don't hate it, but I don't really love it either. The story is the most random thing ever, none of it really makes any sense, but I played it right to the end of the current version (v0.7). Play it for the lewdness, not the story.

I thoroughly enjoy the game. The characters are beautifully designed and have well-developed personalities. Most of them are quite likable, and the humor is excellent. Dev team, keep up the fantastic work; you're doing a great job.

Build the foundation of this porn game with some plump and enticing body.
Add a lot of humor and wit with expressions and design.
And gradually add some worth expecting plots to the story.
The developer is a genius in creating porn game.
At the same time, it can be seen that the developer understands players very well.
I recommend every player who has not played this game to play.
The quality of this game will not disappoint you.

This one is bad, unfortunately. First point against it is the story, not only the writing (which is cringe pretty often) but what actually happens: it makes no sense. It's basically the collection of fantasies of a teenager or so, with no buildup, no interesting or fleshed out characters or anything. You just show up and instantly everyone is lusting for you, as simple as that... all the eroticism and tension in breaking a taboo like incest (the focus of the game) is completely ignored since all characters are into it very very easily (apparently, it's more of a dilemma for the MC to sleep in a pink room than to fuck his sister). Choices matter very very little, mostly if you want to skip some content. And the game falls into so many of the common cliches, like university being the same as highschool for some reason.

Character models are pretty good to be honest, even if they all look way too young for their ages (not a big problem with the adults, but late teenagers do look a bit way too close to young teenagers for me). Animations are pretty decent as well. Sound doesn't seem to almost exist or matter. And I found no bugs on it.

So, all in all, only useful for a quick fap, skip all the text and move on to other things.

So I tried this game a long time ago and couldn't make it through the earlier parts of the game. The English/writing was jarring and if there's one thing that will ruin even a good game for me it's poor grammar and weird phrasing.

Fast forward to a few years later, I forgot about this game and tried it again. As I was playing the early stages of the game memory of it started to come back but I had already downloaded so I started just skipping through the dialogue. Finally I hit some animations and they were pretty good so I decided to just skip from scene to scene before I deleted it again. Well I was trying to catch at least a few lines of dialogue so I had the general idea of what was going on and I started to realize the writing really improved. Not the plot, mind you, that's still kinda weak, but the way it was written had improved drastically. Then I slowed down and started to enjoy the game.

TL;DR; if you find yourself turned off of the game by the writing, skip through the early chapters, it improves.

I love the game. The characters are beautful and have great personalities. It doesnt contain a single character that is unatractive or unlikable which is a rarity. I've revisted this game after ever update since it dropped and there is never any mistep. Dev keep up the good work, you'redoing great.
