VN - Ren'Py - Waifu Academy [v0.12.5] [Irphaeus]

I am going to up date this as I go along but so far the game is off to a bad start. It first begins with just a bunch of exposition nothing wrong with that but the command of the language and the flow is mediocre at best. Next the game gives you some choices nothing wrong with that the more choices the better. The problem though is the game gives the illusion of choice by making the choices loop repeatedly until you choose the one the game wants you to choose. Other times they give you just one choice which is even more frustrating as it is the only option meaning the developer putted it there just to make the game feel interactive.

Oh and the MC just comes of as a narcissistic self entitles brat. In the beginning he keeps going on and on about how he will have his revenge and have what is "rightfully" his. Which just makes him even more unlikable in my personal opinion.

Pros
- Everything. This game is one of the best games on this site
- Every girl is a Waifu as the title states.
- Every scene is animated. One of which (Sheila Bathroom scene) is the best scene period. Also best girl.
- This game ticks off every fetish box. And although it's Linear, allows you to explore what would happen if you branched off the beaten path.

Cons
- Hypocrisy is ridiculous at times. You save a girl from a rapist thug just so you can assault her in her sleep later.
- Repeat Scene Filler
- Too Rapey at times.
- Magical Roofie Drug
- Forced Sleep Molestation
- There should be subtitles for the slang and references at times
- Dev should go back and update from the beginning, all of the new updates ruin continuity. When the game is complete it will be obvious when the game received updates.
- The underage content and NTR moment. (Only a couple of instances)

Wide range of cast, not everyone's a slut, the dialogue is intriguing, and the story is decent.

It gets a high praise from me though because I laughed pretty hard at some of the jokes, and because it's stayed away from NTR so far. Hope that remains so, would seriously sour the mood.

This is a good game, I love it. I love the story it's complicated but it's fun

I hope this game has a fast update hahaha

Thank you for making a great game like this hahaha

well its have to be 200 characters soo..... bye bye bye bye bye

While the game isn't finished yet I was hesitant to leave a review, but after playing the latest update I'm comfortable sharing my thoughts.


I had an absolute blast playing this game. The story is straight-forward and doesn't mince words. The sex comes often and in many, many different ways. The girls all have different personalities, the humour is spot on. Music is fantastic. For Honey Select models I have to say I'm really impressed. I've always liked the animation of the HS models so it's just icing on the cake.

A great game and one I'll be donating towards.

A NSFW-game I'd definitely count amongst my favourites, with many "Waifus" to choose from and an MC with revenge in mind...though recent updates tell you that not everything as it seems. (Supernatural elements? MC going nuts due to trauma? Who knows!)

The comedy-style is something I personally like, but I can see how it might not be for everyone. Story is interesting and the character models all look great. Even the male character models have some variety to them.

Best game I've played on this webside so far.
First porn game I readed every sentence
I love school-setting games
Girls are lovely, even Asuka.
Only thing that I disliked were the nightmares with your dad but I wont rate 4stars only for that :/

+Story is Great
+No any gind
+No pointing and click half empty map ( no realy map)
+ Super hots waifus and good image quality
- Only bad side I wish more chooses specialy that types what not are game continy or game over types

My first review✓
One of my favourite game

This is likely my favorite game in here.

The characters are great, specially the MC with his Code Geass vibe, the setting is just right, the mood is fantastic, and the music is spot on.

BUT - and this is a good 'but' - the writing is just fucking exquisite.
Easily the best feature. Hell, you'd likely forget all the tits and ass for bit here and there.

I wholeheartedly wished this / these creator(s) made this a full blown anime. It would be amazing!

Hope that focus is maintained until the end and on future projects.

Wow! I just found this game, and I am amazed at the amount of content for the game! Many animations, lots of great renders, and the writing is actually pretty funny in numerous scenes. Not to mention it has some very cool references culturally and academically to things I enjoyed reading as well.

The MC is seemingly this same 5'7" guy I have seen in a few other games (what's wrong with having a 6 foot tall MC? I never see it much) but the girls are a much different story with a lot of different types to whet someone's particular appetite. I detest incest and find it kind of disgusting but found it easy to ignore this game and just go with the flow...

incest.? Im in. and the 3d that being use was in illusion and the story settings has a japanese vibe i like it personaly

there are route yet the corruption route doesnt open yet but the creator of this game has a broadmind maybe similar to mine

what character i like right was the girl in the dojo(girl with abs now that the version is in i will see the continuation of the story

i like this game similar to mythic manor but this game has good and bad route.(well lately the door of cuckoldry open to me and cant escape so, why not.? )

i rate it 5 bcoz its one of the best r18 games right now.

Best quality girls / harem you can pick . The story line is interesting.Hopes for more feature and monthly update. The best 3D Hentai game. Would definitely recommended this game to every one. Feel free to fap as much as you can .

The animations are amazing and fluid, the girls are very beautiful and sexy, the sex scenes are phenomenal, the story is very intriguing. and I especially love the exhibitionism in the game. Great job

Version: 0.6.4a

I would say that I enjoyed the game as I could make it to the end despite it's length.
I think the game is really charming by the puns it makes and the cultural references, you could really feel like your are connecting not only to the MC but also know the developer, what is he in to, his tastes and interests.

I think it is also helpful that the game as a diary mechanic that can summarize pretty good the point in the story you are in, especially because there are many characters and for someone like me who came back to the game after not playing few months, it was a good refresher, so point on that =]

In my opinion the story is pretty interesting, the characters have the typical anime personalities and its charming and cool.
Also the music adds to the tone of the game.

Some things that bothered me pretty often were the amount of text in a lot of the text boxes, I mean 4-5 lines of dialogue are pretty painful for the eye compared to how dense they were and how little space between the lines.
Moreover, the amount of puns and how comical and sarcastic the dialogue was, made it also it's disadvantage, it felt fine most of the time but it made it hard for me to get immersed in the story, because the "serious" parts of the story were really far apart.

Overall I would easily give the game 8/10
Looking forward for new content.

Reviewed 0.6.4a

Splendid and hilarious is how I would describe Waifu Academy. From the outrageous story to the charming characters to the beautiful H-scenes; you’ll find something to love in Waifu Academy by Irphaeus.

After reading a couple of reviews and comments; I decided to give the game a crack, I went in without knowing much about it and I finish the latest update without knowing much about it except that I knew I had an awesome time with it.

As always Honey Select is super divisive in our community and as always, I find myself enjoying the renders and animations despite some imperfections (shininess of the body). The models are amazing and the bounciness of some of animations super engaging. Also, I love ahegao, thank you for adding that in! One of my key concerns is the gallery, no way to replay scenes, I’ve got 12 pages of saves because I just want to replay the scenes!

The game is a visual novel, you watch, you make choices (although choices should matter, none have really mattered long term, not yet at least). There are some choices in where you want to go and different scenes play out as a result but overall it’s a relaxed experience. Kick back and enjoy the ride (no pun intended).

The story feels like a parody of many anime and hentai tropes. Most of the game is the MC getting up to no good and getting involved in lewd scenes. There are some darker moments in the game and that’s when I feel like the story is at it’s weakest. Some of the serious scenes (the train scene with the single girl) had big impact and left me reeling from it. However, I found greater enjoyment with the more light-hearted scenes. Combined with the quirky, wacky characters who are all possess their individual charms, it makes for an excellent experience as a reader/player. There are so many characters in this game and they were all pretty memorable! At the same time, with such a large cast, each character only gets small updates every patch.

Pros

• Beautiful renders and excellent H-scenes, ANIMATIONS!
• Simple and easy to pick up gameplay
• Large cast of charming and wacky characters
• Story is fun and hilarious
• Ahegao!

Cons

• Scene replays not implemented, only picture gallery
• Some of the more serious moments lack gravitas
• Your favourite character might get little development from patch to patch
• PLEASE PLAY THIS

Suggestions

• Scene gallery
• I remember there was a karma system in place but its really taken a backseat, don’t remember much about it
• Keep up the awesome work!

-Great storyline
-Great animations
-I am excited for every new update
-No grind
-nothing completely out of place
-very smooth and erotic experience!
MC is investigating the history of his father and comes across a few females trying to hinder him and or possesing key assets which he convinces them to share

Keep up the good work Irphaeus!

Came for the tiddies, stayed for the story. The tiddies are excellent though, don't get me wrong, but the writing is where this game truly shines. I did not expect to be chuckling out loud while playing. Usually I just skip past boring dialog scenes to get to the lewd stuff faster, but not in this game. The story really drew me in.
-And fucking FINALLY a game with no pull-out or condom tease bullshit. Irphaeus is a writer who understands that raw uninhibited lust does not give a FUCK about contraception. A fictional girl only gets pregnant if the story demands it. Male protagonists worrying about pregnancies is beta as fuck and a huge turn off. I'm happy to finally see a writer who understands this.
The animated scenes are absolutely top notch and I love that more thought has gone into the cum scenes than just making the screen blink three times, which otherwise seems to be standard these days.
Fucking 9.99/10 and I don't say this lightly.
(Small immersion breaker for me: super horny people IRL are not Shakespeare. A girl getting teased or plowed properly should barely be able to form coherent sentences, let alone manage to make actual good jokes about astronomy. )
This author/producer is going places. Keep your eyes out boys and girls.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. The girls are all hot and cute, I found myself wanting to know what happens next in the story, the characters are memorable, the pacing is great, I love just about everything about this game. I haven’t played too many h games but this one really exceeded all my expectations.

This review is for 0.6.4a, which was (a) my first time trying this game and (b) a complete play through. This game has a lot of potential, quite a lot of content at this stage, and I did enjoy the game, but there are significant technical issues that will need to be overcome to move foward as planned that result in me giving it a 3-star rating at this time.

The overall story, as well as the stories for each girl, is solid. However, the game is completely linear. Choices don't have any significant impact on the game except when they lead to game-over screens. It's nice to see that each girl is unique in both physical design and in their motivations, and the same goes for the guys. The writing is somewhat uneven. Mostly, the story follows logical progressions, but there are a few exceptions. Sometimes, the MC says that he needs to do something in the morning, but never does and makes no reference to that failure. The latter part of the game has a lot of English errors, and a lot of them look more like sloppiness than English-as-a-second-language errors. There's also 4th wall breaking that really doesn't add anything to the game.

The image quality is pretty good. However, many of the videos don't quite line up when they loop and some of the motion is extreme relative to the background. Some of the renders have clipping issues, for example bag straps often go through clothes. There's decent sound and music, though the more recent stuff has perhaps gone a little overboard on the sound effects.

The code is a mess. Events that happen multiple times don't call the same label, but rather are just copy-and-pasted (non-modular programming), resulting in code that is harder to maintain and change, and removing the ability to skip through repeated events. There are basically no variables, so the karma system that's in the works doesn't record karma and will probably require a fresh play-through when it gets added. Also, the game has no way to tell if you've viewed scenes, which would be required to properly add a gallery. The quest system that is shown at the end of each day (homework) is extremely clunky, doesn't accurately reflect the current progression of the story, and is completely unnecessary at this point. Some scenes where choices will affect the images shown (different states of undress for a girl) are not properly done, resulting in clothes appearing/disappearing between images. Adding meaningful choices to where to go after school is not going to be easy with the current code structure and may actually negatively impact the pacing of the story. There is at least one bug, where the game tries to jump to a label that doesn't exist because there's a typo in the day number of the label. With over 24,000 lines, fixing the code is going to be non-trivial, but really should be done before it gets worse.
