VN - Ren'Py - We Are Lost [v0.5.4 Beta] [MaDDoG]

Terrible.
Dunno how someone can give more than 1 star for this game.

Cheap story - check
Daz knock-off characters - check
Thin skin updates - check

Also the dev is keep f*cking algorithm with his bitchass updates, which make his work more visible.

I think my review of the game might end up being longer than the actual game, so here we go. This is a poor, miserable way to go about making a game. I'm gonna start with that. Weekly micro-updates that are seven images and maybe 100 words is a waste of bandwidth. And I want to make that perfectly clear because this THREE MINUTE game is ONE GIGABYTE. So the 50 images are ridiculously uncompressed for no reason other than to mislead people that download thinking the "game" is longer than it is. And this is 100% a Kinetic Novel. There are no choices. I don't see a universe in which there will ever be choices.

The story is probably(and most likely will be) MC and family "win" a free trip for the family, but it's for rich people to watch a family have sex on the dark web. And literally on a whim they go straight to the airport. Then on the plane MC falls asleep and ends up on a deserted island, if you're the son, and a hotel if you're the dad. For the son, a day later the mother shows up, completely dry, and that will probably continue to happen IF dev wants to keep the dumb "no ntr" tagline, which is a can of worms I don't want to comment on. The dad is "stranded" in a luxury hotel with the daughters, and unless the other characters show up in the other storylines, it means the son is screwing his wife lol. Meanwhile a police officer, that broke into their house unlawfully, is investigating their disappearance even though they've only been gone maybe a day. And that's it. Son and mother get a "The Forest" type suitcase delivered to them with food and water, they barely question it, and eat. Then Scarlett goes "Come quick" and the game ends. Your WEEKLY cliffhanger. And the dad gets keys to rooms that end in the same cliffhangers.

I want to say, I don't want to be harsh. But making micro-updates just to stay in the public eye is a little scummy. Even if all the comments are "This game is short and dum" That's still generating traffic toward this "game." What I would like to see is for this to suddenly disappear for a while and come back with a big update This could actually get interesting. Maybe even worth a GB of hard drive space. There's two animations, the Main Menu just does a rubberbanding back and forth and the mother just moonwalking in place randomly. And most of each update seems to go to the dads storyline, but it's still next to nothing. I feel like I haven't even gotten to the hook, but the hook is supposed to be "Oh no, what's going on?" But if you've read this far, you can probably read between the lines and know what will happen, dumb porn game, hello.

The English is fine, I didn't notice broken english or anything. The UI is the same DEFAULT renpy UI that is an absolute eyesore, change the font and like three images, it's not that hard. The UX would be defaulted at 3, but the beginning of the game you have to go through every character and "define their relationships" which is a bunch of typing and nonsense that could be dealt with in a bunch of other ways. And I don't even fucking like incest content so it was a chore to me. The art is... Fine. The women are all "boob and butt sliders to max." But the only hint of "adult content" in this is you "get" to see the son look down at his dick twice. So, yet again, another KN that focuses on MC's dick for more than zero seconds, so it's weird. The dialogue and story are meh, "What's going on" "Are you alright" "Don't worry." And my opinion is low.

TLDR Dev: Disappear a while and write more than 45 words. And player, wait about 35 updates before you play again.

This game has the potential to be good but it will take 9 years to get there.

I'm sorry but these microscopic updates are not cutting it. Every "update" is indistinguishable from the version it is building on because nothing gets added. You get maybe 2-3 conversations and an activity or chore that the mc does, and that's it.

There are much better games on this site, don't waste your time with this one.

This looks promising.
Characters modules seems great, maybe a bit "youngish" but that's a taste.

Slow and steady updates are better than to rush it out, no nudes as of yet but an introduction and some plot.

This is an early game review, it will change in due course of time, if it does not, it should mean that I have settled with the review initially given.

With that statement out of the way, I wish to say that this concept of having 2 related male protagonists competing for the affection of the females (it is said to not contain NTR) is still a niche one with varying degrees of success and perhaps I'm biased but this rating is based predominantly on the premise of the game, with character models being a distinct second.

So far, the introduction has been decent and the game carries a decent pace (not talking about the frequency of the updates but about the plot, pity the updates don't have ratings of their own.). I can say that the models were created keeping the ages of characters in mind, perhaps the MILF could have aged a bit better, having birthed 3 children who are now adults.

All now depends on how our developer shapes his story, all the best.

Being able to choose between two main characters is awesome.
I chose an older gentleman, as the proportion of university-aged boys is already annoying. The ratio of such games is about 1/10 in favor of the greenhorn.
Unfortunately, 40+ renders per update is a bit low to enjoy the content.
I will probably start checking for updates once a quarter in the future , of course if the author has the courage and determination to continue with his work.
Anyway, good luck and new challenges to MaDDoG!

The art is excellent. I look forward to the game when more contents.
I can't wait to see the sexual part,maybe can do the nude part at least.
It's can't even call adult game currently.
I think it can make some naked render at least!

The concept of the game is very promising. I like how the dev uses time to develop the story of the game. Sometimes rushing into a plot ruins the whole game for it to be just a sexfest. Do wish there were a bit more nudes, maybe a bit of the MCs feelings towards the females.

The art is great, WAY better than most things on this platform. SO if the dev can keep up the good art and animations + deliver a solid story, this will definitely be an amazing game.
Great work considering game is still pretty new.

Dev can also try to add more content in each update. Maybe do monthly updates instead of biweekl.

I've been following this game for quite some time. I have to say that the plot seems intriguing , but the Dev has so far only managed to irritate the shit out of me.
It's just 2 months since this game was released and so far the dev has released like 5-6 updates within this time, with Peanuts worth of content. Every update is just about 5-10 min playtime. It's fucking irritating to download the game again and again . My advice is, cut the bullshit updates, take 2-3 months and give us quality updates with good amount of content.

Decent start, but I was hoping for at least one hot scene.
I like the relationship customization options at the start.
The girls are nice and the plot is interesting at the moment.
Let's hope this get's regular updates.

Really? 4's and 5's? You guys must have played a different version than I did. The only choices you get in this entire version are at the very beginning. There really is not much material here as of 0.1.3. What choices you input for relationships have a tendency to create some weird reading as well. So careful with using plurals as your relationship choices. You won't be a friend you will be a friends. There is no sex as of this update and no nudity at all either. Kind of wondering if this is actually a Kinetic Novel but it just isn't tagged as such only because of the handful of relationship choices you were given at the very start. I played it because it was not tagged as such. The story is kind of lame still. Hope to see much better writing by the Dev but i sort of doubt it will happen. The character models are nice but really that is about all this thing has going for it so far.

Finally decided to try this after seeing it pop up in the latest updates section a few times, seems alright, story is a bit wacky in my opinion but its only the start so it might get better later, i played as both Liam and Landon and im more of landlady and tenant kinda guy if you catch my drift so i prefer Landon but Liam was good aswell, renders are really nice but sadly no sound or music, game is also very short with small updates despite that im intrigued by this game and will keep a eye on it hopefully the game has a good future.
