VN - Ren'Py - Vulgar Reverie [v0.13 Fix] [Saxonado Studios]

This review has been written for v0.13 of the game.

Bear in mind that the review that follows is my opinion, and mine alone. It represents how I feel about this project, and what I think of its current state (as of writing this). It should, by no means, be taken as the absolute truth.

Well, what can I say about this... The game has amazing, 5/5 art, and potential to match it, and then some. But that's all there is to it... Potential, and nothing else.

I've been delaying writing a review for this project on account of its potential alone... Always thinking along the lines of "Let's give it some more time, it will improve in the future". However, by this update (v0.13), I've come to the realization that all of this potential is something that this project will never actually deliver upon.

This game sells itself as a Netorase game, yet the author/dev seems to be very wishy-washy about it, to the point that whenever things start to heat up/spice up, he goes out of his way and bends over to appease the fears of "fans" (patrons) who, for some reason, are scared shitless of NTR-- while playing a Netorase game, which is by itself a subgenre of NTR.

The blatant insecurity of some of this game's "fanbase", which scream for "reassurance" (vanilla lovey dovey scenes) every single time ANYTHING even remotely sexual happens with someone other than the husband, is a joke that writes itself... but I won't delve deeper into it, as I intend to focus on the game itself.

The art: What is available for the game, so far, is nothing short of amazing. High quality all the way, and the FMC is one of the hottest female characters I've seen drawn in this sort of artstyle, ever. 5/5 here, no questions and no complaints. Show the artist some love, he more than deserves it.

The story: It's average, at best. You can tell the author/dev is not an experienced writer, and the basic concept of "show, don't tell" seems foreign to him. The story has some interesting bits here and there, but it also feels weird as the author seems to have started to want to take it more seriously than it should be.

This is a Netorase game, a genre which is meant for Nukiges-- games that focus on sexual aspects and are meant to have a linear scaling of events. If you want to write the next 'Bound by Honor', you should probably consider switching genres.

People play such games for the fetish (netorase) first and foremost, and the story is supposed to be just an accessory to help "sell" the fetish-- an instrument through which you deliver the 'action'.

2/5 for the story. I don't seek those games wanting a soap opera, I want hot relationships and intense sex scenes that delve deep into the Netorase fetish. If you make plot points that by themselves divert from the main genre of the game, you're setting yourself up for failure. Keep your drama and intrigues within the boundaries of what can be used to set up the Netorase content and make it hotter, spicier.

The sex scenes: Utterly and absolutely abysmal. I lack words to describe the dicotomy between the writer being able to create hot and intense build up scenes and teasing scenes, yet being absolutely inept when it comes to writing actual sex scenes.

From the very first Netorase focused sex scene you can already tell the author has no clue whatsover about what to do with such scenes or how to go about progressing them... What you get here is the blandest, most basic kind of sex humanly possible. There's nothing hot about it, there's nothing intense about it, nor nothing spicy about. It's bland, tasteless and boring.

The dialogue during those Netorase focused scenes tends to get so awkward that it might even make you cringe.... And that's ignoring the fact that, despite selling itself as a Netorase game, around 80% of the sex scenes currently available are either vanilla or the MC's fantasies/daydreaming. 1/5. Not worth your time if you came here for the Netorase.

To get any "kick" out of those scenes, I believe you gotta be the kind of person who pops a bonner/gets wet from watching random lingerie ads on TV.

I'd like to emphasize the fact that the main dev and author for this project has proved by now that he doesn't know how to write hot sex scenes. Out of sheer luck he got one, a single one right. And that's it. The author seems more preoccupied about appeasing his insecure patrons-- who are scared shitless of NTR-- than actually honning his craft and improving his story, which leaves me no hopes for the future of this project.

All in all, I rate this game a 2/5, because I honestly belive that this is the score that it deserves. A game with no Identity, that doesn't seem to know the direction it wants to go, overpromises and underdelivers all the time, and has an identity crisis every other month, where the author can't seem to decided if he wants to progress with the netorase, add more vanilla or ignore both to try and turn this into a story-heavy game.

Amazing art paired with mediocre writting from an author who seemingly can't write sex scenes, all in a "Netorase game" where out of 31 scenes only 6 are Netorase, the rest being mostly vanilla with a few daydream/fantasy scenes.

I will not be updating this review, because I'm done with this project. It's just not worth my time.

This is the most overhyped piece of erotic media I have ever seen in my life.

Of all the porn games I've played, this is the stupidest in terms of plot and characters, it's definitely funny, but nothing else, a low quality comic book, all grainy and disproportionate graphics, useless audio, and the characters are among the funniest and most pathetic I've ever seen, both MC and his wife are two stupid figures. Really a terrible style of gameplay.

Art - 8/10
Character - 10/10
Story - It's NTR

Overall 9/10
I gave this a 9/10 ( 4 stars ) purely just because of the art and because of how the character looks

I never rate NTR stories since all of them are pure garbage, and some of us, for example, like myself, only play/read them just because of the art, since somehow the art from the NTR stories is better than the Vanilla stories

But if I had to give a true and real rating, since this is a NTR story, it would've been a straight 4/10 ( 2 stars ), the art is carrying this game/story

This isn't a visual novel, it's a text dump with a wallpaper.

Games of similar length usually have over 1500 images. This game has barely 100. (And that's being generous!)

95% of the game, the wife is standing there with her arms crossed and the same 6 facial expressions are cycled through while you are forced to read a wall of text.

I started hitting the skip button after ten minutes and I don't think I missed any of the story.

If you want to read a book while staring at a Jpeg, this might be the game for you.

Best game ever,!
They really tried hard on the plot and art here, but a couple of СGs a month is somehow not enough) I really like that everything happens gradually and the main character's experiences are not mocked as is usually the case.
I hope that the project will not be abandoned.

As of v0.11a, a really solid game. What looks to be a pure NTS game (which is already rare in itself), with a really good potential. So far, the only gripe I have is some grammar/spelling issues, and I wish it were longer so far. However, it seems the creator updates their game fairly regularly, so it definitely has a lot of potential in the coming months. Great game, great art, solid dialogue, and great potential. Can't wait to see more!

Okay, so I've gotta be honest, this visual novel is seriously impressive. It's not just pretty pictures; it actually sucks you in, and the character development is really well done. But the bottom line? It's a love story, and that's what makes it work ( ^ω^ )

Very high quality, very good plot, very excellent, NTRS game recommendation
Freckles are an advantage, and the strength of NTR is also an advantage, and the update speed is also very fast.
The animation quality is also excellent. Now I check whether there are updated NTRS games every day.

One of the best netorase/sharing games I've ever played, the wife is just so seductive yet the husband doesn't seem like an absolute doormat and at least for now, they're enjoying everything together which is great. Overall 10/10 game for me.

V0.11
Pros:

• Hand drawn CG looks good.

Cons:

• Custom UI feels really cluttered, basic renpy functions require extra button presses to access, text fade delay, autosaves disabled etc.
• Choices that exist solely to lock players out of content.
• Character personalities keep resetting every time they enter a new scene, slow burn buildup is fine, but questioning their relationship every single time in almost every scene in the game gets really repetitive.

This exactly what I want from a NTR game. the art style and story are great and well paced. And on top of that the main character isn't a total loser aside from getting cucked lol. I'm always looking forward to the next update with this game and also inspires me to make a game of my own in the future

I'm a big NTS fan, but something about this game didn't click with me. I think the main part that didn't click was the wife's personality.

In this game the GF has a strong / dominant personality from the beginning and the MC has a kind of weak personality.

For example, an early scene has the GF demanding things from the MC and the MC rushing for the possibility of fucking his GF. This shows how weak the MC is and turned me off.

To me, I prefer more when the female in NTS is a reasonable personality, not submissive, but more in the middle.

The story I think is a good NTS story, I just didn't click with it due to the GF's strong personality.

The art is really good, but it is slogged down by the non-stop text with minimal changes. Like, the choices are far between and they boil down to basically nothing anyway. Basically a kinetic novel. 3/5 stars, and all 3 are from the amazing art.

NTR Rating: It's fine. A lot of build up, which is nice in a NTR game, but a bit too much of it ends with you having sex with your wife.

The game is simply amazing, as of now, V0.10, its a bit short (duh) but the content that is there is beyond great. The artwork is fantastic, the heroine hot, its NTS and not another run of the mill NTR and the story so far is quite simple (I dont mean that in a bad way at all).

One of the most attractive aspects of the game is the relationship Amelia has with the MC and how it reacts with the MC's fetish, at no point does she seems to think her own husband is not enough for her and even stands up for him when the situation calls for it, this adds an unexpected dose of wholesomeness on top of all the naughty shit going on.

Amelia is designed beautifully, I wish more artists drew their girls like this, with a littble bit of healthy flab and meat in all the right spots.

All in all, great game, keep up the good work!

Become the top 1 most favorite game on my list, everything about this is just pure cinema the progress per scene is not tedious the scenes are nice the character are top tier, the only nitpick that i have is that there are not exclusive scenes base on what you choose(blue or green) and if it's possible a other ending where she for real cheats on him would be goated(just learned that they wouldn't most likely add it, still 5/5 game tho), but this game is still early on its dev and the updates are fast and the problems that i just said might be gone in the later updates but for now 0.10v is 5/5 goated

love the game so far, not only the best NTRS game i've played but could be the best H game (in matter of H content).
The art is absolutely amazing, 10/10. love it!!!

Ofc if NTR/NTRS is not your thing you might not like this.

One of the best NTS games that has been released so far on the website, can't wait for the next chapters. On full release will review what happened to it.

So far :

Story is Promising
Art is amazing (not just AI art actually tons of different unique angles)
Interesting Characters
Great Dream like sequences
Very well done pacing
Starts itself slow but really gets into the meat and bones of what a relationship like this is like

Cons :
Kind of an average hook
It just started so it will take some time to fully bake.

Hands down the best I've played on the genre. Although I wish I found this much later when there was lots of content. But considering this hasn't been out for that long it does have good amount of content. nice artworks. I really like the style. Also I really love the story. I feel like they could have taken it a bit slower too i guess but this works too. Good luck to the dev. I will buy the game when it has substantial content.

For the moment, pretty short game but the content is top tier.

Best netorase (NTR with love) game out there.

The relation between MC and his wife is really sweet and horny at the same time.

Images are top tier too. Shame it isn't animated, but I understand why.

I will come back when there is more updates.

So far so good tbh. It's definitely on the right side of nts and I love how the wife is both teasing and affirming but regularly makes it clear it's first and foremost for and about her husband, that's what makes it true nts in my book.

I love the dialogue on the humiliation route where she's sweet on him but also hitting the humiliation triggers verbally. I don't like the scene where she fucks the guy at the conference at all tbh cuz his dialogue is cringe its sexier when the wife stays in control and focuses more on performing for her husband. I would want to see less of her fucking around and more of her using teasing dialogue and pillow talk like that first handjob she gave him. In fact ideally I'd have an option to opt out of her actually having sex with others or if she does it should be in a threesome format where she's sucking or jerking off her husband while keeping her dialogue focused on him. Just a personal preference but generally nts erodes when it becomes too much sex scenes and not enough tease and dialogue mixed with assurance by the wife. It's why they tend to fall off so hard but so far yours is in a decent place. I'd add a choice of which encounters she opt in to and a renewed focus on her teasing her husband. Like when she teases him that all he's good for is watching her and jerking that's hot but it should be a scene where she is there with him and there should be more aftercare and not just her telling him there might be a new guy soon and she will let him know tomorrow then goes to sleep. It's a slippery slope and this is basically the focal point where the writing make or breaks the game. So far it's done a great job of standing out from the other nts stories by staying mostly wholesome. Just you've about reached the line of what constitutes nts for me and any further will start to spoil it, the whole focus at this point should be her giving more agency to her husband.
