VN - Ren'Py - Work Lust [0.4 Remake] [Zoneh69]

Could be an interesting take on the office plot. But it is so bad executed, even a remake didn't cut it.

The MC is unbearable. It is painful how he bows ro every fuck up that spits his way. As far as I could tell he got better in the remake, but thats a really low bar. The amount of time I wanted to grab him and smash him against something... And all that in a really short game, because for a 0.4 there is very little.

The women look aweful. I think it is a certain kink to have them pumped up like sex dolls, but their faces are weird and disproportionate.
Almost none of them are in any shape or form desirable. From the toilet whore to the office whore, from a notorious lier to the overdone bitch trope. And all "sex" scenes are with exactly the women I despised. "Sex" in the sense of watching them masturbate or using the toilet whore at a gloryhole. Ther is Meghan, but considering that every other "LI" got worse and worse the more I read, I have little hope for her.

Of course we have the antagonist. Don't know what to say about him, typical NTR-trap. One of the women seem to be a future LI, who fucks him and cheats with someone else.

The graphics and animations are basic but ok. I had stuttering with every animation frame. Dunno why, don't care.

Really with another remake, bringing back women that look like human beings, and removing all the whoring at least from the LIs, this could get interesting.
At the moment it is just sad.

This game needs more lewds for being 3 episodes in IMO

Also I would say I think the episodes are a little bit too short. But it has a lot of potential

Please also help MC get some sort of glow up or something because right now I want to stuff him into a locker

EDIT: For Reworked version

OK the reworked version has more lewds and MC doesn't look like a dweeb anymore, so very positive on that front BUT the women all look atrocious now and not realistic in any way shape or form anymore which is why I am moving my score down to 2 stars. Dev had the opportunity to fix things and then made some thing sbetter but some things way worse.

Now sure the MC is ugly but he doesn't have the uncanny valley ugly and my poor rating has nothing to do with that, the big issue is the dev put this out into the world and there is barely anything to it, and unlike some reviewers, I don't see tits or a fetish I like and go "potential, 5 stars".

A first update is extremely important, its to show the world what I can do, and so you want the audience to find things they'll like, want them coming back for more.

The dialogue flows well but it's your standard put upon nerd intro and then it just suddenly ends at a fairly mundane scene of some character we barely know thinking that maybe they where too mean to the nerd. A first update either needs to have some nice sexy content, or interesting development (perfect start has both), this has neither because other than knowing that one guy bullies the lead, no one else has any real characterization.

Now I'm not saying this is a lost cause, who knows, maybe a year from now it'll be amazing, but you need to show that first.
