VN - Ren'Py - Wild Cats [April Fool's Special] [LopaPhi]

I very much enjoyed playing this and have high hopes for a sports-based AVN. It is rare at times, stands out with its deeper-than-expected character writing and unique premise centered on coaching a failing volleyball team. The game avoids typical tropes by giving the MC real flaws, which is nice, and having the girls push back against his behavior, which adds realism. While some dialogue feels exaggerated and the MC can be hard to empathize with due to a lack of backstory, his journey has potential. The visual style is distinct, with solid renders and good animations, though some scenes need polishing. Despite minor issues like weak choices and a slow start, the game lays a strong foundation. The hope is that it continues to balance the adult content with a compelling volleyball story.

This should be 5 stars. As a VN it's so good it doesn't just give you everything off the bat but it knows what you want and leaves you satisfied but excited for what comes next.

Also the style and characters look amazing. It's not all big booba but they're all super hot. They all have unique personalities and the animations are goated.

The story is a good time especially if you're into volleyball as a casual.

The combination of good art and story makes you enjoy this VN so much more than others. It actually feels like a pay off to play this game. I have no idea why it's not 5 stars other than you don't get sex off the bat which is the lamest reason.

I get it's not like Eternum which has some side character sex but I don't consider it necessary if the other elements are great and keep me interested.

I had high hopes for this one. I like playing as a dude with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. If you want to play as an ass you can but it won't get you very far. Essentially, the walkthru for this game should be pretty simple, kiss all the girls asses despite the way they behave.

I think when the MC got punched by one of the recruits, I started to check out of the game. The MC had not even been an ass to her and she still punched him. I mean, he called her a lame name, so she punches him?

Don't get me wrong, the MC can get completely out of hand and be way too much of an ass hole, but there doesn't seem to be any balance. You either play as a total ass and the game ends, or you have to totally give in to the girls to move the story forward.

In the real world, there would have been an announcement at the school or at least to the team introducing the MC and his accomplishments. Heck, knowing who he is might get others to want to join the team and he can ignore the prima donnas and get people in who want to play. Regardless, the girls should have already had a good idea who the MC is and why he is the new coach. There should be some built in respect for the MC going into this but instead he gets punched.

I am not saying they should all cow tow to him Just because he has some credibility, and it certainly doesn't give him the okay to treat them like crap. He will still need to step up and earn their respect and one way to do that is treat them all with the same respect he wants for himself.

IDK, at the end of the day we are just talking an AVN, but this one has potential and I guess I was just hoping for more.

I think the dev is pretty talented and they have done a good job with the writing. They produce a lot of content and most of the girls look different from some of the HS models out there. I am hopeful it continues to have success as these are a lot of work and devs like this deserve our support.

0.2
First off, I agree with what Ass~God, Grenli and poshelnah said. But I want see more of Lyn.
Things to add is the protag is inconsistent, the early disclaimer but still inconsistent is really tiring.
I really dont like Bianca, imagining having a friend like an elder aunt. Not like she is bad person tho but can be harmful irl.
The music is good but it not really vibes or appropriate to the scene it conveys.
Unlike with the protag, can see what the heroines are about, so there is that. Eve is supporter; Lexi is miracle; Desiree is stable; Saki is passion; Lyn and Fiona are both choleric, but one more guarded/Fiona and one more exclusion/Lyn- they both observation but their roles are diff after all- introvert Fiona and extrovert Lyn.
Also romance are really meh for now I guess. But if they in established relationships-later, the wut of now (past) can became dark history.

- Wild Cats 0.2 -

I'll keep this review as short and simple as I can:

1. The Story:
This is actually one of the best stories I've seen in an adult game. It really pulled me into the MC's journey with the girls. And found myself genuinely invested and wanting more. The story strikes a nice balance: it's serious when it needs to be and humorous at the right moments, which I really liked. The only downside for me is that the choices feel a bit predictable and easy to figure out, so there's not much tension or risk involved.

2. The Girls (Personality):
At first, I didn’t really like the girls. They were teasing a bit too much for my taste. But as the game went on, I realized it was all part of the plan. It didn’t take long before I started to like them. Like the developer said at the beginning, they’re wild cats.

3. The Renders:
I really like the visual style. It’s kind of basic, but I mean that in a good way. It works well.

4. Content Size:
Really solid amount of content for a 0.2 release.

5. Final Thoughts:
All in all, this is one of the best adult games I’ve played, and I highly recommend it.

4.5\5

It's a great game with great realistic characters they are more 3d and real then most character I've seen on this site the girls are cute model wise the overly bright filter on this game is isn't to bad in fact it kind makes it stand out


What I'm saying is don't lower reviews stop you from trying this in my opinion very interesting and unique game. I genuinely think this game is one of the best on the site and at least worth a try.

A Disappointment: Where Choice Withers and Romance Falls Flat

This game promised a grand adventure, but sadly, it delivers a disappointing experience plagued by a lack of meaningful choices, a milquetoast protagonist, and romance options that fail to ignite any spark. From the outset, I was eager to delve into a world brimming with consequences and compelling characters, but what I found was a hollow shell of that promise.

The most glaring issue is the illusion of choice. While dialogue options are plentiful, their impact on the overall narrative is minimal. My decisions felt inconsequential, funnelling me down a predetermined path regardless of my efforts to deviate. This severely undermines the sense of agency, leaving the player feeling like a passive observer rather than an active participant in the story.

Adding insult to injury is the weak main character. They lack any real personality or compelling motivations. Instead of feeling like a unique individual shaping their destiny, I felt like I was controlling a blank slate, a puppet following the script. The character's emotional range is limited, making it difficult to connect with them or invest in their journey. A strong protagonist is the backbone of any engaging narrative, and its absence here leaves a gaping hole.

Finally, let's talk about the romance options. They are, frankly, unappealing. The characters feel underdeveloped and stereotypical, offering little in the way of genuine connection or compelling backstory. The interactions are stilted and forced, lacking the nuance and emotional depth necessary to create believable relationships. Instead of feeling excited to pursue these relationships, I found myself actively avoiding them.

Conclusion:

This game suffers from a trifecta of flaws: a lack of meaningful choices, a weak protagonist, and uninspired romance options. While the core concept may have held promise, the execution falls short, leaving the player feeling disconnected and ultimately, disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone looking for a truly engaging and immersive experience. There are far better games out there that offer genuine player agency and compelling characters to connect with. This one simply misses the mark.

And wonderful game with a really nice written story and some quality scenes.
All the girls have a strong personalities (I hope they do keep).
The development of the main character is really nice to see
I was really touched by some scenes I can see myself in

Great game, hope you continue like that !

Version 0.2

After hearing good things about this game and debating if i should try it out or wait for more content...
Sadly i failed and played... and discovered my new top 3 avn if not nr 1 down the line later when more updates come.

This is the first game im reading very slowly... still as for ver 0.2 there is good chunk of content.

If you like good story with amazingly writen characters and interesting art, this is a masterpiece you should try.

Despite being ''new'' this is easily top 10 on the site (for sure in terms of new avn's), if you can, support the dev.

I played this and I love it! Maybe the story is going too fast but maybe I'm okay with that. The lighting, the posing, the models, it's all thought out and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

Oh, um, I need more here. It's a story about a guy who loses his dream and spends the first part of the game being cringingly mean to everyone until someone is nicer than he thinks he deserves and uses that to try to turn his attitude around. He is mostly out of the weeds but not entirely and I hope that keeps coming up because nobody changes that fast.

I think it's too fast because three girls by the end of the second chapter have gotten off with him. One of them makes a lot of sense. Two would make sense with college hormones. Three felt too fast. It's a small quibble!

Play and enjoy!

Its really quite strange actually. This is the first time I've ever written a review.

I would like to first list off the things I love about this game. First of all, the animation quality of this game is GODTIER. There have been multiple moments when I played that I audibly exclaimed at how good the animations were, at how crisp and smoothing everything was. It is simply on the next level. Secondly, the art is amazing. The girls all look nice, the lighting is done well. It is made with immaculate design.

Why did I give it a 1 star? Its because the story is shit, it is infuriatingly shit. So we have the MC who is a volleyball player that got injured, now he has been given a chance to coach a women's volleyball team in order to keep his scholarship. Its an interesting concept that drew me in initially.

However, the MC is an absolute asshole and lashes out at others for no reason. As you play, you discover that the women's volleyball team is the lowest ranked and the players on the roster don't even come to practice except for one. So obviously we can understand that the names on the roster are people that aren't even interested in playing for the team. The only reason their names are still there is because they haven't gotten a chance to remove their names.

Yet the MC seems to believe that they are required to play for the team and just expects them to drop whatever they were doing and come to practice. Then he gets mad at them when they're not interested. He even gets mad at the one person actually going to practice. Good fucking job scaring away the only player that was actually interested. And its a reoccurring thing, he lashes out at one girl, realizes he shouldn't do that but then he lashes out at the next girl. Huh, I wonder why they don't want to go back to your team mate.

Its infuriating to not just read it but to also play as the MC when I have no control over when they lash out. Am I reading a book or am I playing a game? Why am I not given the choice to lash out or not? Lol the only choice I'm given is 4 different times the game asks me if I want to quit. Like wtf, this is just annoying, if i want to quit the game, I would just alt F4 the game. You don't need to ask me every single time the MC lashes out. By the 3rd time I told myself if the game was going to ask me another time if I wanted to quit, I would.

Quite a shame though. The art, animation and music quality are all GODTIER.

I'm usually very critical when I see 3D models; I don't find them very appealing. Or rather, they all feel like the same over and over again: an appealing model and a hollow personal story. In those games, the sex scenes feel rushed and meaningless; my finger is always pressing the skip button at a certain point to just be done with it.

I'd be lying if I said I was starting to play Wild Cats in a different mindset. But from the start to the end of the second chapter, I was actually reading every line. It felt well written, no farming, no time skip, just a good time reading characters getting to know each other. Each has different personalities, goals, and stories that clash with one another.

I'm not going to say that it's the best game their is, but it is a really cute and inspiring one. As the adage say : "I came for the gooning and stayed for the plot."

A good story with deep, well-developed characters and stunning female leads. The volleyball discussions are compelling, adding realism and excitement. Very engaging and it balances sports, emotion, and character depth - even funny in places. Scenes are a little too few so far, and MC was a little too sad and lost for a little too long.

This game is just awesome, I got really hooked on it and the story is great, even though the MC can be a bit EMO sometimes, it's kinda understandable in a way, by what he went through. The game has a very good theme, who doesn't like volleyball girls? Speaking of them, the girls looks are stunning, the relationship build-up is well-paced and everything seems to fit perfectly. It is exactly what I've been looking for in a game and I strongly believe that this is a 5 stars game, so by my standards, it's a most than well deserved rating.

And of course, Volleyball girls.

Against the background of a trivial story about the relationship between a teacher and female students (athletes), an interesting story about the relationship between a woman and a man is revealed. The different levels of relationships create an exciting game that you want to watch develop. A good game.

While I do think this story has potential, the dialogue is its biggest weakness... it’s just so awkward and unconvincing.

The MC himself isn’t the main issue. In fact the author makes it clear that he’s actively trying to change, and his backstory provides enough context to make his behavior feel somewhat believable.

The real problem lies with the LI's. Their behavior often comes across as entitled and irrational, yet the narrative insists that the protagonist is the one in the wrong. The author seems determined to frame our protagonist as the sole deviant, but the interactions don’t support that. Instead, it just feels frustrating because some of the girls are just as much in the wrong as the MC, making the dynamic feel forced rather than organic.

This weakens not only the character interactions but the writing as a whole. And this isn't a one time thing - it's something that I felt numerous times throughout the exchanges between the protagonist and multiple LI's. Instead of feeling like natural, realistic communication, the dialogue ends up feeling frustrating.

I genuinely hope the author improves because there’s potential here, but as it stands, the execution falls flat.

10/10

One of the best story telling Adult Visual Game in which you will surely be captivated by not just the story as a whole but also be intrigued by its individual characters. Where as the story goes on, you cant wait to find more and delve deep to each individual characters in the game.

Aside from having a very good story, it also have likable and well design characters in which rightfully fits each personality of the individuals they represent/Portray.

And so far, the scenes are likable and it does not feel forced at all which gives the game a much more smoother and better story telling progress.

All in all, if your looking for games with fascinating characters and interesting story. This is definitely a Game you MUST TRY.

It's an interesting game with a captivating premise and beautiful renders. Sadly, it's only version 0.2, so there isn't much content yet. However, you can play it without hesitation—it's quite good!!!

Good character writing? An interesting plot? Well integrated NSFW scenes that are written as more than just porn? Volleyball girls? An actually interesting MC with a personality not in the shape of a sentient penis? A good variety of love interests without going overboard to where half the cast doesn't get any development because there's just too much work?
Be still my beating heart.

Recommended.

A game that is off to an extremely good start. I love the characters and story. I do see some issues with the proof reading but all something that can be fixed.

Beautiful renders and an intriguing story, a 10/10 for me at the moment.
