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

tl;dr : It's not a masterpiece but it's pretty damn good.

4/5 stars.

I actually really liked this game. At the beginning I wasn't sure about it at all but within the first hour or so I got pretty invested. Now to be perfectly honest there isn't really anything amazing in this title. The mechanics are decent, the writing is decent, the scenes and renders are decent, the characters are decent (with a few exceptions, though that last one is based entirely on preference and personal perception), however, the game as a whole is pretty damn good. Better than most IMHO.

It can be a bit repetitive and (somewhat?) grindy due to RNGesus running the show but it's not too bad in that aspect, especially compared to some other games out there. There was obviously effort put into the character's personalities so they don't come off as clones of each other (the models and visuals on the other hand can certainly be argued to be, though I had no issues there) and I personally like all of them.

Overall it's definitely worth playing if you're looking for a new game to dive into.

Recommended by that guy who just downloads the gallery mod on 80% of the games and never actually plays them.

Reviewed at version 12a.

Not great, unless you love big tits.

Part of the problem is that at least 3 of the women have the same body, just different skin tones. There are scenes in the harem path where all 3 are together, and that's when it became painfully apparent that they are are effectively identical.

The mechanics are painful, especially if you want the harem path. You can't skip interacting with any of the main 3, or you end up struggling to get one ore more of them up on their harem score, so others can join. I mistakenly didn't elevate one of the duplicates, and paid for it with it taking more than an hour of repetitive tasks before I finally got the last one's harem score high enough to reach the current end of the version. Most of this was because the only options to raise the harem scores are random occurrences, so if the RNG gods are against you, you're screwed. Plus, those events only are for certain girls, so unless you get JUST THE RIGHT ONE, it's days and days of nothing in game.

I'm usually too lazy to write a review for a game, unless it is either brilliant or really bad. In this game's case, it's the former. Where to begin? Well, the premise of the game is really simple and rather obvious by the front page; it is a harem game, consisting of 7 heroines, whom each has her own story. As it is an open world, you can romance whoever you like in whichever order (for the most part, since in Uno's case, you must pursue Irene's story a bit before unlocking her), so in that regard, you can skip a girl's story if you don't like her or anything of the sort, so that's a plus (I really hate it when you are forced to do tasks for another girl in order to further another one).

Story-wise, the game is not any masterpiece, as it is really simple; you are a rich boy who is not only really smart (detailed in the beginning and in Seinen's story, but really not showed outside of it as your character is pretty naive and oblivious to most things) but also handsome (well, in my standards you're only average, but the game depicts you as such). As such, most of the girls already find you attractive and easily fall in love with you (the harem aspect of the game is not skippable, so if you don't like it, then move on).

Character-wise, all the girls are attractive in their own way, whether you like tits, ass, or face, so you will probably find your kink here. My favorite characters are Elisa (blonde woman) and Uno (Pink-haired one), as their story is rather intriguing and captivating, specially Uno's, like I did not expect to feel blissful when playing a porn game, but really, she is really sweet and as she is depicted as vulnerable, you feel protective of her, and It helps it so much that the relationship between your character and her feels genuine and heartwarming.

The only issue (not as much in my case but I can see some people would probably find this aspect lacking) is the playability, since the only way you can advance in any girl's story is by roaming through the map and clicking on repeatable events. The game is not that grindy itself, but it is pretty boring (like you repeat tasks 10 times in order to further the story), but man, the scenes really are worth it, as the visuals are stunning and the models are hot asf. However, a plus within this, is that the events that you must do in order to proceed the story are really clear, so you do not need to use any walkthrough (really, like I can listen to a podcast while playing and still proceed in the story); this is also one of the few games that I've never used a cheating interface to play (amongst the few I can count with one hand).

Overall, I rated this game as a 5/5 because even if the mechanics are predictable and kinda grindy, the interactions, character design, visuals, and scenes, really make up for it, and it shows how much love, care and effort the author has invested in this game. In my case, this is within my top 5 games, alongside A town uncovered, The Visit, Corrupted Kingdoms, and Summer Memories.

I like the game
Nice structure, clear, not too nested, you can find everything without guides.
There are also interesting characters, even if I don't necessarily like that big boob thing about all characters.
I also like the beginning and the individual scenes more. The harem story doesn't go really well with all stories.
Maybe you can still bring in one or the other fetish.

This game is fucking Masterpiece. The girls and scenarios are well thought out and are centered right in the border of realistic and fantasy. As close as a harem simulator can get anyway. A little grindy at the beginning but not to the point of excess. A new scene was never more than just a few clicks away. This is the first game that I wouldn't consider using a cheat interface for. I'm excited for future updates. 10/10 recommend. Complements to the Chef.

this game is ezi to play art and story is awesome too. great job.i really enjoy this game very fun too. narrative is also superb.. the art is well executed..................................................................................

Category: Video Game
Version: 0.10a
Visual novel/Script: 3,5
Gaming experience: 4
Graphic quality: 4
Character development: 3,5
Xcitement: 5

Considerations: Good game, have free roaming / sandbox along with a nice plot. The map hints are nice to help cope with grind. Graphics are adequate, though in some situations human anatomy are quite forced (ankles)
Adding easter eggs would help navigation / exploration the map.
As geminiw45 puts it, pace is balanced, but sometimes character development fails. Personality evolution of some characters as plot evolves is quite hard to believe, there is a jump in the character interaction "corruption/love"progression. And also sometimes, lovely route is not lovely as MC behaves quite strange. Sometimes have high moral standards and suddenly their actions border the rape.
It is not very clear the difference between love and sex partner route.
In game decisions have little impact in the game. For example, wrong answers should reduce the girl love level, or requiere a gift to progress further. Economy in the game should be more important. Objects to buy, inventory...
To sum up, a nice game worth playing it, lots of content, lots of action, but have room to improve.

This game so awesome, I love how the way u build character and of course the story too.
I've enjoyed this game for many reasons, pace is balanced, dialogues and plot is good enough and the characters are really sexy
The sex scenes are pretty good.

This game had decent reviews so I thought I would try it. Absolute waste of time, I wish I didn't. The writing is god awful. I know it's a harem game, so I don't expect much but this game truly has bad writing. English doesn't seem to be the creator's native language, but that's not even the real problem with the writing. The dialog is just so cringy and seems like something someone with very little experience with women would write.

The characters are all uninteresting tropes seen in other games. Nothing new is added with this game. There are games that do the same harem sandbox thing as this game but just better. I would recommend looking around to find better games than this.

The only reason I don't give this one star is that the character models and UI look good. You could just download a completed save and look at the gallery, it would save you a lot of time.

I want to like this game, the premise and plot are pretty decent and so are the graphics but for several reasons I can't really give it much praise.

The characters while having somewhat different personalities are not thought out whatsoever, maby it's just the terrible English that makes it hard to convey but I wish they were more fleshed out.
The game mechanics while being a good idea in theory are quite horrible due to the fact that transitions make up like 50% of this game and I'm not even joking.
If there were less of those and more renders it would actually be so much more enjoyable.
Ontop of this I feel that it's pretty hard to get immersed in a game where you have no choices and just repeat the same scenes over and over to progress while suffering through the appaling English.
With some more renders raghter then transitions, proof reading and choices this game could have been a strong contender for best game of it's kind.
Hopefully the developer improves in the future.
2/5

This game is like...it. I mean this is the shit I want to see when I'm playing a game like this. Perfect models, solid story, fantastic characters developments and personalities.
I almost never reviewed anything in almost 3 years except this and Being a DIK. This is seriously a must have if you are into harem and big tits. Just waiting to be surprised with new content!

I've enjoyed this game for many reasons, pace is balanced, a bit of grind, but not too much, dialogues and plot is good enough and the characters are really sexy (though I thought this style of render wasn't my style)

BUT lots of content seem to be missing as you progress and things get really hot and steamy, so it's a bit frustrating. There might be other characters which have more content than the one I was exploring and got stuck with, but I think I'll wait now for the next major update before playing some more. Hopefully, gaps will eventually be filled, cos it's a very pleasant user friendly game which scores on many levels.

Some decent renders and scenes aren't enough to off set a very unpleasant MC and some equally skeevy women.
The MC spends his time waxing lyrical about being a virtuous man before immediately raping the first woman he meets. Some of the other characters prove to have similarly flexible morals and the story does backflips to justify their actions. It wouldn't be such an issue if it wasn't at such odds with the script and the actions you choose to take. "Helping" someone get home shouldn't immediately result in sticking your dick in her while she's asleep. It's Fallout 4 levels of dialogue and consequence dissonance.

One of the best harem dating games ever made.

The graphics are a touch generic, but other than that this game is really special. Despite still being in a fairly early stage of development this game is filled with content, interesting girls to date and steamy sex. Also a rare game which employs a map screen without requiring an obnoxious grind, this game respects your time and actually offers a well paced dating sim experience.

Properly brilliant.

Yup I really like this game.
One of my favorite ones so far
The character models are awesome with huge tits.
The sex scenes are pretty good.
I like each girls personality
i found this game entertaining.
Can't wait for more content.

Really outstanding game with every character has her own story
This is the first time I have enjoyed a story so much.
Would recommend it to others who also like to see full story instead just play the sexual part of the game.

I read some of the bad reviews and thought "nah its probably not that bad", its that bad.
I'll start with the good: the renders are pretty good, and the UI looked pretty clean when it worked. the girls personalities seemed like there was potential but I didn't get far enough to tell.
The bad: I only played for 30ish minutes but couldn't be bothered to go on longer. MC constantly goes on about wanting to be virtuous, but then acts like a complete creep. Ogling every woman, inability to take social cues from his best friend, jokes that can be interpreted as implication that he's willing to marriage rape his fiancee if she doesn't put out. everything felt pretty yikes and then I got to the first choice I was given: forcefully rape a girl or "take it slow" which happened to be not very slow and also rape. it was at this point the map broke and I didn't care enough to fix it. Either make the MC a creepy asshole or let me have to option to actually be a good person.

TLDR: the MC is a creepy asshole but claims he's virtuous, the game is buggy, but the renders are good

A small amount of issues regarding ren'py on android, otherwise a really cool game. I really enjoy the possibility to make choices with all the girls, and the animations are also great.
Keep up on the progress !

One of the greatest game I have played. The characters are all really really great. Each image could be a wallpaper. The animations are smooth. It might lack a bit story wise, but in terms of aesthetic and content (version 0.6c as I writ this), it is incredible. I have played most of the at least somewhat popular games here and this one is on par with the best. This is why I felt like I had to finally leave a review and see it hopefully get more exposure. I can't believe it took so long to find this. How do we get it featured on the main page scrolling bar lol

I liked this game.

The characters were pretty good. I found myself reading most of what I had not seen yet.
4/5

The art was well done. I felt like the characters looked different and were attractive.
4/5

The H scenes werent too bad. Although they took way too long to work up towards I feel.
4/5

The gameplay... I like and dislike it. The RNG part felt nice at first. Then it just became obnoxious. If the little scenes that aren't main story for the characters were the only RNG I'd like it more.
I felt like it took way too long to get to story stuff when I wanted to. So much rng clicking.
3/5

Overall 4/5
I can't decide if I recommend it or not. The content is great, to me, but the time takes to get it is terrible.
