VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Witcher 4 Ciri Training [v0.17] [Sweet Mariya]

Interesting,art super good, animation super good, defo deserves more support. Feels like a nice trainer,cant wait for future scenes. Good job dev, hope you will carry on doing this. Lots of potential,tavern jobs would be interesting to.

***Based on 0.15***

I have spent 600 hours in Witcher 3. I fucking love witcher 3, and I love Ciri in Witcher 3. That's why this game is a particularly tough pill to Swallow. Did you get it? Cause Ciri is also called "Zireael" which means "Swallow", so it's kind of a pun and this has gotten awkard, I'll just show myself to the door.

I like the premise of the game. Emhyr has captured Ciri and is now determined to break her will and have her give birth to his heir. The idea of Emhyr+Ciri incest has already been hinted at for a long time as far I know, so thus far, the game is on point.
Emhyr has also placed Ciri under a powerful spell, preventing her from using her powers or being recognised by people she knows. This kind of makes sense, so fair enough.

And here is pretty much where the positives end. Instead of training Ciri himself, Emhyr hires a random nobody to do it, without any supervision at all. This makes no sense. Emhyr has been obsessed with Ciri for years, so I find it highly unlikely that he would just hand her over to someone he doesn't know at all. He would most likely want to supervise her training personally, or at the very least have a loyal subject keeping an eye on things on his behalf.

instead, Emhyr hands Ciri over to a random guy, basically telling him "I don't care what you do to her, just turn her into a slut within 30 days, so I can fuck a baby in her" and then fucks off.
What's to prevent this guy from just taking off with Ciri? What if he ends up getting her pregnant by accident? What if Ciri managed to find a way to escape, since there is no additional supervision? What if....

Art is... a mixed bag. The main poster and a few of the renders look pretty amazing, but there are just as many or more, which looks completely horrible. Most of the times, things just looks off.
Dialogue is... basic. Ciri's dialogue can basically be boiled down to a single threat about her cutting off your dick, phrased in a few different ways. Not very creative and also quite a bit of broken english.

As for gameplay, there is not a lot. Like 5 minutes worth, if you take your time. It's more a demo than anything else.
Also, it's worth noting that quite a lot of the game's assets has been ripped straight from Witcher 3. We are talking HUD, music and a few other things. I know we like to sail the high seas here, but this game just screams "lazy cashgrab" at me.

I would love a proper Witcher 3 trainer game, especially if Ciri is one of the subjects, but sadly this game is not it. Maybe it might change, because I do see a potential for a great game here, buried deep down, but for now, this is in no way worth the time or effort to play.

Absolute hot Garbage. All the UI (and SFX) are ripped from the Witcher 3 game. The models used look alright, but the animation (especially facial expressions) are awkward and weird as all heck. Even Skyrim OSA has better facial rigging, and that's saying something. There is currently next to no content even for an Alpha release, and you have less than 5 minutes of 'gameplay' before you're done. The dialogue is EXTREMELY badly written, and all Ciri does is threaten your dick, or everyone's dicks, or cut you into shapes of dicks, and I was cringing through every painful sentence I had to read.

Bleaching my eyes will not be enough for this travesty of a 'game.'

Does this 'game' have potential? Yes. But it has a LONG way to go before its ready for release. I suggest the dev take a damn good look at other similar games in this genre before continuing.

Looks great, but otherwise this is pretty hard to recommend. There's not much content - which is fine for a game in early development, but there's no indication that you've reached the end of what's there. I kept going to Yennefer's house thinking something would happen after the initial meeting.

The writing is pretty painful and hard to follow too. I guess the dev does seem to sell it as text that's just there to loosely tie the visuals together, so if that works for you, go for it.

Game has a pretty good concept, although not the first ciri trainer, the game is certainly well made. This game has fantastic visuals, decent enough mechaics, although there are a few bugs which are to be expected.

It's clear that the dev know a bit more than your average "I just opened Daz Studio and called it a day" dev.

But what we have here isn't a game. It's not even a demo. It's a tech demo at best, but I don't have even the slightest impression that the dev is aware of this.

Had this been touted as a tech demo. Had the dev come and ask "What do you think? More bestiality? More rape? More abuse? Focus on text and scenarios? More gameplay?" etc. You know. If he admited he had no iadea and made this tech demo to ask for advice and direction. Or if there were the slightest hint that there's a direction at all, I would probably give this 5 stars on execution alone, and pretend the sandbox dind't happen.

But that's not the case. While it has some nice rape, nice abuse, extraordinary animations. Everything else is bonafide trash. The text is pathetic, the gameplay is non-existant, there's no direction. No indication that this will be a game. Just some nice animations.

In other scenarios I'd probably give it a single start. But I'm honestly hoping that instead of just continuying and bareling ahead, the dev actually takes a minute, pulls back. Grabs a pen and paper. And tries to sketch out an actual game and start from scratch. With these models and this animation, combined with the already present rape and bestiality, this could be fucking glorious. But I'm not holding my breath.

It's weird, short, occasionally funny and has nice gfx and anims. The changing anims as you unlock more "training" (=sexual harassment) options with Ciri are very cool.

The plot is less than bare bones and self-aware in an unpretentious, sometimes genuinely funny way. Which is perfect for what this game is trying to do (showcasing the dev's render skillz). The game eventually ends up in the dreaded sandbox mode though, which is not cool.

The renders are nice but nowhere near top notch. Anims are detailed and remarkably expressive, and are the highlight of the game. If you have a hard-on for Ciri and aren't a stickler for coherent stories in porno you'll like it. I'm pretty meh about her so I rate it 4/5 for gfx and -1/5 for the unnecessary sandbox.

More of a rapey flash game with really decent POV animation, but engrish almost absent text. The dev really needs to find someone to write the actual story for him.

Also, the solution to the canon problem "who get's to knock up ciri" is everyone.

Would be a great tech promo if clarified and released as such, not really a game tho. The animations are impressive and with some love the dev could be onto something amazing here.
There is a surprisingly (to me at least) small amount of Witcher oriented games and I'm really hoping the dev will continue his work with this project.

My initial impression of this game was not great. I was skeptical from the start. A 0.1 release from a heretofore unknown developer with a newly created patreon, who claims to have other work on pixiv but hasn't linked it in their own patreon, so i can't find it? That's not a great sign. Neither is the questionable grammar and spelling on their patreon. But hey, let's talk about the game itself.

The good
The art is decent. Relatively good quality 3D renders with a bunch of short but good animations as well. That suggests there is a genuine effort being made here.

The Bad
There is some awkwardness in some of the animations. Stiffness in some, and something I can't really explain. Still, not terrible.

The game took me all of about five minutes to get through. currently, It's not really a game. More of a collection of animations. You go through the intro story, make exactly one choice which isn't really a choice (a "yes or no" where the "no" is an auto-fail) and then click through a handful of animations, and the game ends. You basically finger-fuck her mouth, slap her, then play with her tits a little. That's all.

The writing. Dear god, the writing. It's full of improperly punctuated sentences and grammatical nonsense. The dev doesn't do anything to differentiate thoughts/background stuff from regular dialogue. It took me a hot second to realize that "Saying something in background" was not a spoken piece of dialogue, as it was displayed in the same way as regular dialogue, with no special characters, effects, or anything to differentiate it from spoken words.

The game asks you to put in your name- in Russian. I correctly guessed it wanted a name for the MC, but still. kind of a big oversight in a game written in English.

As far as the actual story goes... Well, it's not the worst thing I've ever read. It is incredibly cheesy, dumbly written, and very obviously meant to just be a thinly-veiled excuse to set up the actual game. I don't mind that too much since the story isn't really what anyone is here for, but it isn't exactly immersive.

All in all, I don't have high hopes for this game. Maybe the dev can get someone to handle cleaning up the English a bit, that would go a long way to improving the game. Otherwise, we'll see what happens. For a proof of concept, it sort of works. Whether it develops into anything decent will be shown in time. In it's current state though, don't bother.

Edit: Oh, and the music. The game uses music ripped from The Witcher 3's OST, so that's probably a legal timebomb. The music also resets and plays from the beginning after every animation, which becomes annoying when you have several animations in quick succession.
