VN - Ren'Py - Yesterday's Crossroads [Ch.3 v0.4.1a] [CHAQUINN0]

Chapter 1

For its first release game is really good. I would give 5/5 score but that i might do later. The story element is really well done that, even this game is in early stage, i recommend everyone to give it a try. Character models are also fine but to me personally i do like when MC looks fine as well, not generic or where other male characters look better than MC. The game is choice based so it's up to you how you want to play it.

I don't normally touch harem titles but this one looked good so I jumped in. Like all harems you spend a lot of time meeting gorgeous girls that are almost all single and all have a crush on the mc... The one that isn't single is in a relation with you best friend and also loves you... Everything is so obvious it breaks the immersion for me and that's why I don't touch harems.
Personal feelings aside, the dev at least gave us a good story and everything is clean.
I simply can't give it 5 stars as I think it's a waste of a good story.
I'll probably check the next update too.

Chapter 1 [v0.2.1]

Thank you and good luck.

P.S. I think the MC dyes his hair black...

Another Game that looks really promising. Obviously there isnt too much to say yet since its only the first Update but so far i enjoyed it a lot.
The Visuals are pretty great the Game overall has a good look to it and seems to be very consistent in quality. The Women do look very good and there is variety so you can go after the girl you like.
Storywise it will be interesting to see where this goes, the start so far is really good filled with emotion glimpses of future events and an overall wonder how the story will progress. With that kind of story there is the possibility that it could get boring or that how the breakup thing is handled will be bad like her just coming back or her not playing a role anymore at all. But it also has great potential and ill be happy to see where this is going
So far there arent any choices to make so we will have to wait and see in what way you will be able to influence the game. The Soundtrack is great tho.

So overall id say definetly worth checking out this could become a great game.

ok it started pretty good, so good that i added it already on my fav list but the more i see from it the less i like it. you have no real choice or changes in the character behaviors AT ALL!


either remove the small amount of decisions and give it a kinetic novel tag or make it visible that the choices the player picked get noticed by the characters!

Really like everything for now but I hope there will be no ntr or abandon.for story.. I don't know. I surely want some wholesomeness. I think that's all. I don't necessarily need quick updates but at least I hope this doesn't get abandon or on hold.

There's not very much to rate here, but leaving 5 Stars because I think this has some great potential and should gain some traction. A gloomy start but promises a strong story moving forward.

Positives:

• Renders are really good
• Animations are also on the higher end
• Story seems very promising, looking forward to reading more
• The LIs that are being teased look absolutely stunning, can't wait to really meet them

Negatives:

• Can't really point out a negative, guess there are no choices yet but that's hardly a problem

I definitely have this one on my radar, could see myself as a patron of the dev if the next update is as good as this one.

I really liked it the tone and pace was great. Renders are solid and I'm just really digging the vibes.

If the game sticks with the LI's introduced so far would be good balance to give enough good depth. Too many LI's not only is less believable but tends to make each one more shallow.

I have high hopes for this VN. The dev chose heartbreak as the foundation for their VN. I'm surprised that this isn't more common in a medium based mostly upon romance. I love the characters in the limited time we get to see them in the prologue and would love to see more of them.

There is a lot of content for a prologue and it sets the tone & expectations well. As for the technical aspects, the character models look great, the lighting is very well done and the whole thing looks excellent.

Definitely a cut above your average first release, several cuts even.

The visuals are stunning, it's probably one of the best looking VNs out there. The girls look great, no exaggerated proportions or uncanny valleys, even the men look realistic and grounded.

The sound is fine, I always find it hard to judge audio but if I had to give it an adjective I would use "adequate".

The story seems intriguing, if a bit cliché. Still, I was interested the whole way through and I'm invested enough to keep an eye on the version number. There are, however, definitely some pacing issues. Scenes begin and end without any sort of lead up, which can be quite confusing. That's really the reason it doesn't get 5 stars; there's a problem with the flow of the story, it needs a few minor scenes to interconnect what we're seeing.

Still, none of this should dissuade anyone from trying it. I thoroughly enjoyed my time, I just think it can be even better.

This game is fast paced and still a jigsaw of small interactions and tid bits of action laying the puddle of low self esteem and auto-pilot friends from where the player character would rise and make something of a story worth gaming.
Good looking people, nice proportions, intriguing honeys, mean social interactions, girl supremacy - there is even a black widdow, in your face, female spider on to eating MC up scene in this game.

MC has a dagger in his heart, because girls seem to only use him,
jumping ship at the very first whim - one dumped him for a guy, the next dumped him for a job, pretty clueless the MC is not engaging with anyone outside of blending in.

The bum joke is really hurtful why she chose the other guy,
but then he was strung along, but the fact in a group some broad chooses some guy, not the other, well, the other is left outside, alone, the plus one who would never find anyone meaningful, because everyone found somebody else in the group.

Finding enough lack of self esteem to still be around people who clearly do not value him,
MC needs to put on his big hung chad pants and start looking around making his own plans,
being the +1 in some broads plans left him hurt and alone thus far.

Something to look forward to in the next installments.

Amazing quality for a first release, great models and so far an intriguing story, my only concern was the total lack of choices outside of the sex and balloon scene, which has already been cleared up by the dev. Excluding some typos (Like "Pologue - Kim Sex" in the gallery) the initial release (v.0.1.0) is a solid initial release, worth a solid 5/5, will be keeping a close eye on this one
