VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [S1 Ch.4 Fix 1 Steam] [Oceanlab]

[Turret]

I get that this is just a second chapter, but still. The fuck is this game even about? Is it a detective? A romance game? Why are the characters numbering in double digits already?

Hi! You might have seen some of my posts in the SG thread. As I wrote there, WIAB has much more crime story elements than Summer´s gone. Where it all began is a crime/detective/romance story with some redemption parts in it. And there is a reason for the many characters, worldbuilding. We will see alot of them in SG someday as cameos and what they´ve done in the meantime.

because this game trys a more seriouse approche

Like when the game switches back and forth between "I took her virginity and cum dumped her for the world to see" and cutesy childlike drawings when they kill the spiders? Do you mean that by a more serious approach? Because I, personally, cannot tell what vibe this game is going for.

I agree that the update time is a bit long but I have no idea how long his work takes so too be honest no idea but I think your problem is that you dont want a adult visual novel you want a prono(fast sex as much females as possible like most other games on this site)

I think the problem is more that if a story is going for a slow burn direction....a yearly release is fucking stupid because it makes the glacial pace even worse.

too be honest than I have zero idea which VN adult games you normaly play.

beaing more seriouse dosent mean cheracters have too be seriouse all the time and are not allowed to be goofy or make jokes like miru does in the overall story and how slow sex is how it handels other male cheracters and jelousy,drama,music and a lot of other things it has a more seriouse tone.

WIAB goes for the "on first look everything is okay, but look deeper and you see very few things are okay here" vibe. There are clear signs in artwork, text and even transitions that the mental aspects are a battlefield of ruins in many cases.

This isn’t Crime and Punishment and not all of the choices are in service to some well thought out theme. The MC and Miri have a pet Python that behaves like a Disney character and every woman in the MC’s family wants to fuck him. There’s more than a little bit of porn logic in play here.

 

[Tuperr0]

Niceeee

 

[EdPokol]

Hey mate, any chance on updating it soon?

Cant work on it right now but will update in a few days, this weekend at the latest.

nobody wants to fuck mc expect miru the only thing this game has is fanservice and harmless flirting I mean mc is good looking because otherwise people would cry even more ohhh no zero sex you can see it on all pages.

oh no this game trys to be romantic with miru and mc sometimes and dont sees every women as fuck doll ohh no too woke I guess or what????

Well that’s just bullshit, they’re not throwing themselves at him, but the incest element hasn’t been removed from the story. It’s still very present with Leia and implied with Helen.

Did you CTRL through the game or something? What about Zoey or Leia? I know you're trying hard to defend your position, but you're plain wrong. And not just on this front.

 

[Valotargaryen]

Guys help why cant i play the new update ,ends on same spot in ch.1. Can somebody help me?

Same here

 

[Lorenz1]

I will be honest - I don't know and don't care about most of those people, but:

1. Miru is great and the single most developed character so far. I like her.

2. The college girl - she is a college girl with issues, drive and feel of youth. A nice character to have, not much to say about her otherwise.

3. Katie. I can believe in her bullied past and her reactions seem sincere. She is lovely.

Everyone else? Passable, I guess.

9/10, would see Katie tap Miri's ass.

 

[fishbrain]

Original version is way better in every way save for the visuals, but the visual aren't close to making up for it. Kinda lame.

I do love it and I'll keep it and play it again just for the raccoon LMAO (and of course KATIE).. plus I know I'm in the minority but not a fan of the new MC. This is just getting started though, and Ocean is second to NONE.


I wish I could get rid of the creeping feeling that none of these are ever going to get finished. Quality is spectacular, but it's such a large production and his ambition is fucking insane.

 

[Phoexist]

I have to say that this has some of the most impressive animation and renders I have seen in a game. That said, I have also never seen a story based on emotion and drama work so hard to keep the reader in the dark and unengaged. Clearly the MC is troubled by these reunions, but we as the reader have no idea what is going on and thus feel nothing for it.

 

[mommysboiii]

I have to say the bird looks amazing

 

[Turret]

and every woman in the MC’s family wants to fuck him.

That is a bit hyperbolic by you I think. It is very true with Leia and hinted at with Helen and Amber (but only if you chose the Milf answer to Miru´s question earlier in the game). Other girls in the family don´t, Zoey is not from the Zanes, but a friend family.

 

[Deckard81]

This and Summer's Gone are just ridiculously high quality games and the relationships between MC and Miru and MC and Katie are just *chefs kiss* so far, looking forward to much more

One thing though, I remember playing this on the first release and I don't know if I'm misremembering but

I know it's a rework and I think from what I remember it's a big increase in quality, was just curious

 

[Lorenz1]

Honestly, the best thing ocean can do is write a bloody introduction to the game where the core of the chapter is introduction of MC's old connections to his GF.

Who the fuck is Leila? Dilan? Katie? Helen? All other twenty people? Why MC cares about them, why do they matter, what had he done (other than ran away, lol). If it is a detective, give us a bloody set up - what kind of "car incident" was there? What's the crime scene? Why is Dilan is a suspect and what is his power and reach to organize anything?

I don't know anything about this whole world and feel like I am watching a second movie without seeing the first. So far the only people I even remotely care about are Miru, that blonde girl MC wronged and Katie cause they got some exposition and some explanations. Everyone else are just a black box with tits.

so far this game has 0 ntr and its 2 chapters in. also i prefer the women and bodies in where it all began before the remake. katie always looks good but everyone has mom milf bodies.
