VN - Ren'Py - WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B5] [Braindrop]

As there have been a lot of negative ratings, I thought to myself: Let's throw in my two cents.

So I have been lurking in this thread ever since the beginning, with trying to make a joke here and there (sometimes succeeding). Ever since I played this game I loved it, it's a great story! Harem games are one of my favorites and, as stated in your interview, I also like to make people happy.

This is one of the few games I don't play just for a quick fap, but really take the time to read every screen. The characters, male or female, are all written as if they are real.

I really do give it 5 stars, but do have two little bits of criticism:
1) Everyone just falls in love with MC (am I really complaining about this?)
2) It feels really fast, for someone who's been there just under a week. Like the set-up is really rushed.

All in all, it is an amazing game, love it.
And as a pirate I would like to say this: "As soon as I find me loot, ye'll get payed. Arrr"

Perhaps a couple models are good looking but overall, the game is very poorly imagined.
If you get a kick out of being Mr. Perfect all the time or if you'd like to imagine that women are only here to please you then this one is for you but other than that it is just a depraved game from a depraved mind.
Besides, having to endure the forced polygamy, the boring text, the character of Shauna (maybe the worst character there is next to the girlfriend) , a lack of basketball (aka the backbone of the game) and the fact that so much is thrown at you that you forget and can't remember almost everything and everyone: a day in this game must be more than 24 hours given the amount of things (intercourse mainly) you get to do on the daily; you get this very poor game.

This game is simply awful. The renders are hyper zoomed in with extreme close ups in all conversations and add to that half the girls appear cross-eyed. Most of the renders are layers on top of backround images which makes them pop out (no shadows) detached and outscaled from the environment.
The plot is essentially a sex romp and all of the characters only exist to please the MC. I'm only writing this review to counterweigh the glowing 4+ star rating, because I litterally got nothing out of playing this game. Its one of the worst games I've played in a while

This game already has plenty of reviews but as a player who has played since the first few updates, i feel it's finally time to give my opinion. I'll start with a few pros and cons.

Pros
- There are so many characters with their own unique features.
- Theres a lot of content already and theres also a good amount of lewd scenes considering this game is fairly new.
- The story is very well written and doesn't feel forced and is completely different to anything else you will find on this website.
- You can make choices and reject any girl that you aren't a fan of (except for a few but who would reject Jaime and Shauna xD)
- Braindrop, (The Dev) puts out updates weekly and always keeps the fans up to date with his progress. Without a doubt one of the best developers around.

Cons
- In my opinion, there are literally no cons at all to this game.

Overall, I think this game is a masterpiece and theres no reason at all to why you wouldn't enjoy it, Give it a try.

WVM [Day 1-7 v0.7.6] [Braindrop]

As a gamer who has invested a fair amount of time into "WVM" by Braindrop, I can't help but feel incredibly disappointed with the overall experience. This game falls well short of the expectations I had going in, and I'm left with a sense of frustration and regret for the hours I've spent on it.

First and foremost, the story in "WVM" is an absolute mess. It's as if the developers took every cliché and dramatic trope they could find and threw them together haphazardly. The result is a narrative that lacks coherence, is filled with melodrama, and often feels like a parody of itself. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at the over-the-top and cringe-worthy plot twists.

The protagonist, supposedly the "main character," is insufferable. His seemingly superhuman ability to attract emotional baggage from every character in the game is beyond annoying. His exaggerated compassion and unwavering desire to solve everyone's problems come off as unrealistic and make him difficult to relate to. I couldn't find a single reason to like or connect with this character, which made the game even more frustrating to play.

The supporting characters don't fare any better. They come across as one-dimensional cardboard cutouts with no depth or purpose other than to stroke the main character's ego and advance the poorly constructed plot. The dialogue exchanges between them are cringe-inducing, making me want to escape from the game whenever possible.

The worldbuilding is a train wreck. Male characters are virtually nonexistent and are reduced to blatant antagonists with no real substance. The promised basketball element, which could have added some coherence to the story, never materializes, leaving players bewildered and confused.

The pacing of the game is a nightmare. Frequent phrases like "15 minutes later" and "35 minutes later" are inserted into the dialogue without explanation, making it impossible to keep track of time or understand the main character's bizarre, seemingly sleepless existence. Days pass with no logical progression, leaving me scratching my head.

The main character's progression is utterly implausible. Within a week, he accumulates a harem, fathers multiple children, and embarks on numerous adventures that defy belief. It's a bewildering and unrealistic progression that further disconnects players from the game's already disjointed narrative.

The various plotlines in "WVM" feel like they were taken from entirely different games and forced together without any thought to cohesion. Transitions between them are abrupt and disjointed, leaving players unsatisfied and confused.

In conclusion, "WVM" is a game that promised an engaging experience but delivered a frustrating and disappointing mess. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone. It left me questioning my choice to play it and serves as a reminder of the importance of well-crafted storytelling and character development in gaming. Two out of five stars, and that's being generous.

There are Tone of girls and lewd scens, but that's all. They're not attractive. Can't understand main heroin. Bad story and poor animation quality. Some girls make squizface at lewd scene and Angle of animations is so bad.

Aww man... This game...
One moment it's "sooo guud" and a second later the cringe is real...
Some lines are the best I've ever read, others are so beyond stupid that even Billy Madison awards you no points...
Some of the charakters are the best I've ever seen, others look like straight out of a cartoon...
I neither like the harem genre nor the "money from thin air" trope, yet here it works...

Despite all this, I played it yesterday for the first time...and I binged it... I'm a non native english speaker and I read very slow, so it took me what, 6 - 7 hours...

So yeah, here take my upvote and hurry up the next update...

Truly a great game and so far an amazing story. I love what you're doing Braindrop even though im still not a fan of your recent character facelift. That put to the side though and everything is great.

One of the best games out there! Story is fantastic, lots of beautiful girls! Almost impossible to have a favorite. Also STORY IS FANTASTIC! The creator really outdoes himself with this one! Can't get enough! Recommend to everyone!

Great renders, great pace, reasonable storytelling. I think the choice in this game should have more consequences but, this doesnt make the game as good as it is. I'm really eager for the outcoming works from Braindrop

Revised review. This through the release 0.9.4.2 release.

Adult VN’s come in all sorts and sizes, some lay on the lewd content heavy some hardly give you any others hit us hard with a story that pulls us in and yet others find a way to get by without much of a story at all. Games like WVM are unique as a lot of the player base are sucked into the story and characters, where they sometimes forget they’re playing a lewd game until then next great sex scene appears. Yet others will look at this game as very text heavy and want to skip until the next lewd scene.

The story behind WVM is pretty simple but takes on some surprising twists and turns along the way. We follow the main character Ethan Moncree (name can be changed) on his journey of being the top recruit into the college basketball scene. The MC puts his friends and family first at all times, especially his adoptive mother who he brings with him to college. Now he could go to any school he wanted with a full scholarship but chose to make sure his girlfriend Jamie and best friend Shauna could also get into the school of his choice. Unfortunately, due to some issues with Shauna he needs to choose one of the worst schools in the country to go to. A school that did not win a single game last season. The world of college basketball was shocked at his decision and now WVM is on the map. Can Ethan bring the school out of their losing ways or will his talent be wasted going to a school that could not win a single game last season?

Now before you turn away form this great story thinking basketball is not something I am interested in I encourage you to give it a try. I turned down this game so many times in the past thinking that exact same thought, I don’t care much for basketball so why bother a game focused on it. Well the thing is this is a lewd Visual Novel first and basketball is just a background story. While it may seem like basketball should be the primary focus the team has yet to play a single game as of the last update. The focus is on the life story of Ethan and him reconnecting to his strange past, as well as how he puts everyone else ahead of himself. You see this very early on when you find out his decision to go to WVM is based on his girlfriend and best friend. He reminds people throughout the game his focus is on getting drafted to the NBA and taking care of his family which consists of his adoptive mother Azel, his girlfriend Jamie and his best friend Shauna, but that family will continue to grow over time.

The story is very linear but you will get a lot of choices, most of those choices are pretty straight forward as to pursue a character or pass on them. Some choices will only appear if you decide to cheat on your girlfriend or stay faithful to her. This is a harem game and the player will have the choice to add the characters they want to with the only two exceptions of Jamie or Shauna as there is no way to avoid them in this game. The MC does come in and fix almost everyone’s issues within a single conversation which many turn out to be lewd encounters afterwards. At times the content can be very predictable, but there are a lot of surprises and unexpected twists along the way as well. If this does not sound like something you would be interested in stop right here and move onto another game.

The developer decided to take a unique approach to kissing in this game. At first I hated the way the kissing face looks in the game, but it grew on me and now I like it. Some players refer to this as a duck face, but I look at as an artistic way to make the player feel they themselves are being kissed by the girls. This is not something for everyone but I do enjoy it. Speaking of kissing there is a lot of kissing between the MC and his actual family members, but it will not go past that in the game as the developer has taken a hard stance on not adding incest content to the game. This can be a turn off if one of your favorite characters is the Adoptive mother, biological mother or biological sister. With over 50 other characters to pursue this should not be an issue for most people.

One of the unique things about WVM is how well the story is with Transgender Females and Transgender Males, two things that are not always handled well games. The transgender female content as of the last update is all optional and is linked directly to Shauna’s gender choice at the beginning of the game. At first this was something I was very hesitant on but after learning more about the transgender community I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised as how much better the story is with Shauna as a transgender female. Yes, I understand the transgender content is not for everyone, but it can be avoided for now with the two known transgender female characters. There is also a transgender male character something I have not seen in any other game before. All three of these characters are handled tastefully and they have well written stories.

As for other character’s in the game there are so many characters it is very easy to forget who they are at times unless you are a super fan like myself. As of the last update there are over 60 characters in the game. While most of them will be able to have the option to engage in lewd content at some point in the game there are a few that will be off limits due to the stance on no incest or gay content. Now I will go further into the gay content as this has been controversial in this game and many of the teammates on the WVM basketball team are in fact gay. It has been indicated that the transgender male character on the basketball team, will become optional at some point in time according to the developer. Which in some people’s minds go against the no gay content rule and others view this character as a female even though they identify as a male. I see how this can be confusing at times with people not understanding the transgender community, trust me when you see said character later in the game you too will look forward to content with them.

Outside of the few unique transgender characters there is plenty of adult type of content that will appeal to almost everyone in this game. The female characters come in all shapes and sizes so it will be hard to not find a model you are interested in. With a cast so big some characters are put off to the side at times or they will have little to no content. This is one of the major downsides to a game like this. You have around 50 female characters and there is only so much time in a day to get to them all.

There is also a unique twist to the game that will allow the MC himself to be a prostitute of sorts working for a very interesting character who is trying to make some high paying clients dreams come true of having a baby. This is an optional side job but it is highly recommended to take on when you get the option. Without taking that side job some of the characters that show up throughout the game may not make sense even though the story make indicate that you actually know them. There are some typical antagonist characters in the game and the MC interactions with them can be interesting at times. There is some violence in this game so be prepare for it when it appears but overall the story is pretty violence free other than a few well placed interactions.

A fair warning that the quality of the renders and animations improve greatly over time when you compare day 1 to day 8 or later. There is some re-work planned for the game to improve some of the inconsistencies like the MC genital size from the first few days of the game, along with the changes to a few character models or hairstyles. Overall this is a solid game with a strong story line. If you are looking for something realistic, this like all harem games is not for you. However I encourage you to take a chance on a gem of a game like this one, as you too can be pleasantly surprised at how well this game really is.

Random thoughts from a Madman: Over all I absolutely love WVM. The main characters are good with a strong story. At times I get totally lost in the story emotionally like the big reveal of the MC sister. This game sparks my theory-crafting side which is something I love to do on message boards for this game. There are some really great sex scenes in this game depending on who you decide to add to your Harem some of my favorites are Katie in the Party room on day 6, Jamie in the pool locker room on day 3, and the pole sceen with Zoe on Day 7. There are so many great girls in the game like Jamie, Shauna, Bailey and Willow, but my favorite by far is Stacy the cute redhead who saves the MC on Day 3. This story is going to be devolved for many years to come as the developer has indicate another 3-5 years before he can finish his story. With so much more content to come I can not wait to see what is in store next for our MC.

I don't think I've played a game thus far that's been so well done in regards to the MC, you're a perfect boy, but it doesn't come off as "Ugh MC can do no wrong" you're just a good dude.

Props to the trans rep in this game as well, it feels natural and i love seeing it.

I love it! Very good story, beautiful renders, some goofy faces you will love realy fast, choices that mather and some plot twists you can´t realy see comeing. Good work, keep being awesome, can´t wait for the update! <3

This game is one of the top 10 I played so far. (And I played a lot of them.)

The game is just amazing a great harem game just enough drama to get by and actually have a story really quite hot scenes and REALLY lovable girls (especially bailey) if i had only one critique is that time seems to go quite slowly in wvm a single day can feel like what would normally be a week or a month in many other games but that just means it jam packed full of content so no real complaints from me

an awesome game with good sex and story parts everything feel well balanced at least for my taste and i just love that game. characters are really well tought and designed. the story is really good with mysteries, fun and tense parts. and as i said the sex parts are good too.

I can't say if this game is overrated because of the high ratings, the start of this game seemed a little good but after the story was developed it seemed to me that the developer lost control. I played for about 2 hours skipping all the dialogues, but if I followed the dialogues it would probably take longer, it also depends on each person who has an english level, of course.
It is a strange game, because the decisions do not make sense, the choices have no impact and even if you refuse a girl in the beginning you will have a commitment to her in the future. Some you can refuse and some you can't.
The story of this game is terrible, the scenario of this game doesn’t match the environment and also the developer put a lot of female characters so that the MC can interact with them, from girls of the age of MC to older women. I think the author completely lost his focus and control when he was writing the script for his story and had no imagination when creating his renderings, as if he did everything quickly and anyway. Some renderings of the girls are good but I realize that they are something to disguise the quality that the game has, creating beautiful and hot models are normal, with hips and round asses, with large and simple breasts without exaggeration, but that does not hide the flaw that the game has.
There comes a time in the game that you want to give up, because there is a lot of hoopla in the dialogues that will make you sleepy if you go with them, the sex and animation scenes are good but not enough for you to say that it was worth it for the lost time.

This game is pretty awesome.
Yes, every girl the MC gets around fall him around his neck, it's basically a harem simulator, but the renders are really nice, the story is pretty good and you have to go through some storymode to get to the next sexscene.

This game has a lot of gametime and it will ruin you a bit, when you try other games, because it really has a lot to offer.

I usually don't give 5 stars and if I could, I might have given it 4,5, but comparing this game to the top 10 best rated games on this site, then this definately earns a spot in between them

When I play an erotic game, I like to see pretty girls and this game doesn't have that. There are 1 or 2 hot girls, a few OK ones and the rest are just ugly.

The girlfriend looks like a psycho with her enormous eyes and we have to see her very often. It's a mood killer for me.

And I didn't care for the story even if I stopped the game early. The MC is a basketball superstar and he goes to a team that doesn't win any game? Seriously? I'll pass.

This game is not bad... and terrible doesn't do it justice, but this game ie just meh....
fuckfests are nice, but this one.... every girl exists solely to swoon over the MC (he's the best at everything and everyone around him is the best) and have him solve her immagnary problem that in the majority of cases, she could solve herself....

This game has seen many updates, and changelogs yet the story hasn't amounted to much, and it's only getting more ridiculous... a princess hidden in the basement, a sister that totally doesn't look like the one in the flashbacks and a dumb name change, are enough, but I wouldn't be surprised if a dying alien race sent their females to be bred by the MC...

poses and faccial expressions aren't the best despite what the main character might say...

dialogues are saccarine ridden, with MC alwayst thinking about others, and selflessly putting others's happiness as his priority.... so don't be surrised if you end up with diabetes....

said, all that I'll admit, this game is good to pass some lazy hours, but it's not something you'd want to retun to once it's done.

most over hyped game on the site

this game is a loser fantasy, all characters exist to please the MC, he is a nice guy and therefore every woman is in love with him

the female characters have zero personality, emotion, wants or story they are just props to mindlessly spread their legs within the first 5 minutes of being introduced to the mc

in just the first 10 releases of the game you are met with over 20 girls, none of whom you'll remember the names of, all of which are so enamored by the mc being a pretty nice guy that they cant help but fuck him (seriously)

the game is a pointless romp with the story equivalent of a housewife lacking the means to pay the pizza boy or plumber
