Ren'Py - Completed - V.I.R.T.U.E.S. [v17] [NoMeme]

A well-designed harem game with character development, standard porn progression and gameplay. The sandbox-lite system is just enough to make you feel immersed in the world without it being a drag on actually getting to the content.

Gotta emphasize that the characters are competently written and expertly pander to the cis-straight male. I also think the writer gets better at writing over time, the later parts of the game are noticeably more evocative and interesting than the earlier parts.

Cons:

A bit of grind to see the scenes.

A lot of the writing and cultural aspects of the game are visibly Chinese. Though most characters are supposed to be Western, they are written in such a way that they end up displaying Chinese attributes that may seem odd, but it's a minor thing.

The writing is just enough to convey the characters and develop them to a satisfactory point, but I personally prefer writing that's just a bit more thorough than that with more internal thoughts.

Towards the end the sex becomes a checklist of girl combinations and positions and the story to get into each scene falls away into nothingless. The beginning had drama, but the end is just sex sex sex.

This game is a mix between amazing and horrible. I wanted to enjoy it more but them flaws...

Good stuff
1) A few of the women are hot af with likable personalities.
2) Some steamy sex scenes with solid writing.
3) Protagonist looks fine, has a good sized cock, isn't a midget and is competent.
4) Multiple endings.

Bad stuff
1) Fake choices. Choices usually only affect the order you view content.
2) Gated content. You can't focus on only one or two women. You will have to also pursue the other women to progress.
3) The grind. Encounter character that randomly spawns on map 5 times to level up love stat to progress story. Rinse & repeat. Then encounter harem events that randomly spawn on map to level up up harem stat to progress story and unlock endings.
4) Forced fetishes with illusion of choice. You'll have to choose them all to progress the story. Choice only affects order you see them.

Very good game, models are very hot, animation and renders are almost at the top and a good plot.
too bad the sandbox gameplay sometimes is boring, i would appreciate a VN gameplay. Anyway Theodora and Elisa are very good characters

Only good thing are renders
The grind to unlock a event is slow
Not only that there is a stat called harem acceptance that locks harem scenes until this stat is high enough
You have no idea if the harem acceptance stat is high enough so you can rewatch the event but this time pick the harem choiche in the gallery
the money stat is confusing
Tried save editor could not vind value Tried console commands checking all values but still nothing
Money is even useless supposed to be for revenue and expense
You can buy wallpaper at the fortune teller with money wich i think is useless
Irene looks cute but her character is just a girl obsessed with mc

Terrible game. It's just grind, grind, grind and grind some more to get to the sex scene after many "somerandomsexact"job only to end up with girl getting scared and rejecting having sex once more. Worse, sex scenes are animated poorly and you can't see penetration, just the humping.

You can't reject girls either. I hate Theodora, she's a bitch to MC and only use her as a bodyguard, almost half of her content is just you standing there while other guys hit on her. I don't care about her sobby story and redemption arc. MC is dense and not assertive at all.

Actually, a really good game to play! Enjoyed it! Hope i will come back here in some years and play again.

Amazing models and phenomenal roleplaying + storytelling, what more can you ask for? I love this type of game setup where you can easily replay scenes via the gallery etc. please continue to update this and we thank you!!!!!

I kinda pessimist at first to play this game coz i thought the game gonna make me do hard grinding (i prefer RenPy/VN type game).
Turn out it not that bad, and now i'm so hooked to this game (will be waiting for the next update with great anticipation).
I really love all the character (Theodora is my fav) and i play the bonus chapter about Theodora, and i never tired to replay the bonus chapter.

I hope this game will be great with each update
keep up the good work sir

I love the scenes and characters. It's full of sexy content constantly and is a sandbox that doesn't feel full of nothing. The separate episodic prequel game is great too if you like this. Highly recommend.

It's one of the few games I get really excited about when I see a new release for it.

Beautiful girls with diverse variety and somewhat good "story". I recommend the side stories especially the Theo. The gameplay kinda simple. Feels like those point and click adventure. I wonder if the BnB business will be expanded in the future

Underrated game, ticks most of the boxes (male protag, romance, sex, harem, great animations, pregnancy), and the sandbox tag is only scary to look at but none of the grinding shit makes it more enticing. Each character has unique storyline and personality and all are very much likeable so dive in and enjoy.

Man, I really love this game. I never have a girlfriend, but I had crushes. Anyway they are married/taken. My heart is broken for many times. In the past,I really wanted to have a relationship. I will wait for my true love. But now I'll continue playing. Thanks you for making this game.

You are playing a college student but your brain is of a 10 year old. Customary to these games, you come from a rich family and all the girls are waiting for you but please go through this eternal grind because if the dev gives you money , then he has to develop mc having sex with the girls but that is not what we are here for, right ? at the end what is this, a porn game?

Instead please do all kinds of boring activities but promise in the future you can get a hand job at some point. At the end this game is only 2 years old.

So please click million times and read brain dead character interaction before you see a semi naked girl but if you make them love you maybe you will get a kiss.

2 star is for the graphics, game play would be easily one. Snooze fest.

This game is master piece for me
Nice developer,nice art,character model,gameplay and the story is fking good and wholesome
If u want to chilling after worked hard then download it.Trust me,u won't regret it

Fair disclosure I haven't finished it but played maybe 2/3 hours or so. Decent enough game so far, there's some promising content and some interactions are fun, if you're looking for sex scenes it is a pretty long grind to get there, I've only gotten to the "girlfriend/only sex" choice with one character (tho close with the others, I spread attention between girls).

The actual content scenes are generally alright, but to get to them you need to repeat maybe 3/4 repetitive, minimally written scenes 5 times and then wait for a special event to show up with that character, it wouldn't be too bad but as far as I can tell there are no meaningful changes to the scenes in 25 runs of them... so that's great.

Also, it gets real fucking rapey with not much warning. One character you get drunk (mc is drunk at the same time) and then fuck them, and when they pass out mc keeps going with no regard for them. There's a bunch of "character sleeping touch boobs which is pretty standard affair for these kinda games, but the one that caught me most off guard was with one character who mc has caught in some questionable situations before (mc sneaks into a room for ??? reasons and end up catching them doing a cam show kinda thing), but then due to plot they end up moving into the house mc owns and then in response to them trying to blackmail mc with some stuff (after mc was rapey to them 5 seconds earlier) mc pins them against a wall and basically threatens to rape them.

I dunno, there's some stuff in the game that's pretty good, but porn contenet takes a while to get to unless you beeline a particular character (which kinda goes against the idea of a harem game) and then when you get to it the mc is being really rapey to the characters even in cases where you supposedly "love" the girl

5 stars for the character and H-scene, fun to play with.
the story feels flat and nothing exciting just like my daily life, the conversation also feels flat, lack of comedic things. the only competitor is the harem hotel.

Awesome game, very wholesome... at least on the love path... Didn't have the heart to go for the sexual partner path...
200 characters is far too much for this review, but take what you will as I'm willing to write that much to show how much I enjoy this game. Thanks for the read!

One of the best Harem games in my opinion. There are a lot of Harem games but this one is excellent in delivering the right amount of content for Harem. The animations are good. No need for grinding or anything, just proceeding with the story, which should be the norm for all the games

version 13
If you are a teenager and you like tags, you might like this game. If you are of a certain age and have read a lot, you will notice that the writing style is quite childish.

I don't recommend it.

This one is great!

It is one of the rare sandboxes that's not grindy at all and it has a lot of content. I love the models personally except mc, but it doesn't really matter, you rarely see him.

Anyhow, I don't see any weak points in this game, updates have been constant with decent content each time.
Totally worth a try.
