VN - Ren'Py - Young Again [S2 Ch. 7 Public] [Zargon_games]

The explanation from aurora makes no sense, if there is a quick and simple "plan b" why bother sending him back when the guy your sending back has already complicated things once, why risk it again?

Why do you need to do tasks to be sent back when choosing "plan b" wouldnt get them done either?

The story apart from that is ok but why does MC bow like a simp to the first girl for a blowjob? this is not some horny teenager but an adult with full life experiences under his belt.

The animations are nice and smooth and unlike most games they dont have a huge pause before they start, so well done on that.

Art quality is good but nothing special.

Disclaimer: I will never rate 1/5 or 5/5 a game that is still in development.

I really like the almost isekai plot:

- MC is a boring asshat before truck-kun
- No truck-kun but car-kun is ok too
- Not Aqua level annoying goddess but close enough

I like the idea behind the story, although there are a few things that need improved:

• MC is an old dude in a youngster body, and he is not acting his age at all, imagine speaking to your dad or some old guy but in a body of a 18yo (Have a look at umbrella academy, Number 5, for inspiration).
• while I like the non erotic animations, unless they are easy to do, maybe you should focus more on the erotic scenes more, they are good but kinda short.
• regarding the renders, I have seen better, and I have seen way worse, this will improve with time.
• While it is good that the DEV chose to use chapters instead of days, at least this game is a little bit more time aware, the bad part man the chapters are short, at least it was good quality.

It is a good game to play but a bit short for 0.3

wow finally a new game with time-space correlation
I like the new setup of the story its different from the others to parallel corrupt two families while being young again is amazing

the animation is good the girls are sexy I hope he will corrupt his own wife again and NTR would be nice optional subplot

Review v 0.3:

Story: the MC is a middle aged man who has been neglecting his wife, son and daughter for years. Shortly after the start of the game, the MC dies in a traffic accident while saving some young guy who's the same age as his own children. Since this was not supposed to happen, the MC gets, by Divine intervention, reincarnated in the body of the young guy who was supposed to have died. But, he needs to promise that he'll improve the life of his old family, otherwise he'll die for good.

The young guy (now MC) turns out to be the best friend of the old MC's son and the crush of the old MC's daughter. Also because of his suddenly changed character, also becomes very attractive to the young MC's sister and mother.

This premise sets the stage for several hot not-quite-incest situations and although we are still in the early stages of the story, the dev makes good use of the situation. All the characters are quite deep and interesting, both externally and internally. My personal favourite is the slightly chubby old MC's daughter, who the young MC has to get into shape.

All in all, great premise which is being worked to great effect so far.

The only negative point of this game is that it is fairly linear so far. It seems to point to a harem involving both his new and his old family, but, since we are still early in the story, we have to see. At the moment there is nothing really to complain about so I won't substract any stars from the rating.

Conclusion: solid 5 star game. I have to admit it is partially bases on the promise of future content but what is there at the moment is truly excellent and well worth of this rating.

Review for 0.3

Great job so far! I'm going to keep this short as I've lost 2 writeups for this so far due to clicking in and out looking at the game for reference

Pros:
-Great premise for the story. Really nice way to provide a way to redeem the MC or let him damn himself
-The characters are almost all lovable, even that little snot Lucas
-I was expecting it to be super awkward for an older guy to try and fit in with the younger generation but it's done well and believably
-Lewd scenes are surprisingly hot

Cons
-As another reviewer stated, some of the animations are not very good, the running in the park one stands out. Others are great, like the Emma masturbation scene. I don't feel that a great story needs animations, good stills do perfectly well in such situations if that is a challenge...but good animations do improve the storytelling if they are available.
-There is a little weirdness about the MC being a seemingly hard-working and decent guy(maybe even a heroic one?) and his past life being so blah and neglectful. Maybe need to push a little that his near-death experience and second chance is motivating him to do better this time? I don't know that making him a more decent guy in his past life makes sense since Lucas, Emma and his wife are all obviously suffering from severe neglect.

Really loving this game/vn. Normally i'm not crazy about a teenage mc, it's overdone and their usually scared of their own dicks, but this works (for me at least). It's a good mix of heart touching story with a bit of crazy thrown in with the girlfriend. An intriguing storyline with some interesting characters. Looking forward to more.

Well, I don't know the formula. I've played Incest games that try to tell a story and most fail. The premise is usually the same "Dad died. Moved in with Mom/Landlady and her daughter/s" However, while the premise to this VN is different and more unique than the cliche example i just used, it's not the reason this is so good.

Why? Is it cause most titles refuse to look at their game as anything more than Fap material and this game breaks that trend? Is it cause this MC has actual goals to complete? Is it because the dialogue (not bad, but sometimes has different gender pronouns) feels like these are actual people? It's up in the air a this point

But a more structured review.
Archetypes and MC: There are archetypes here for sure. The shy/insecure girl, the slutty one, the family member that is secretly in love with MC, the punk kid, the overworked dad. However, even in these roles, they are delved into. The main character I like, he is a bastion of good not because he's trying to get into anyone's pants, but because he generally is and is interacting with (Not really a spoiler since it's in the intro, but just in case) his children so it's a lot more natural. He's trying to help them and is understanding them even as learns to accept his new role.

Pacing: I feel the pacing is pretty good maybe a little fast with his new sister but I hope to see the dev make the relationship take flight in a natural and satisfying way. To be fair, they were drunk. There are only 2 chapters as of now, but each one tackles a 1 or 2 day arc of sorts. Each one resolves in a satisfying way and it feels like the MC is getting closer to fulfilling his obligations and getting closer to the people that matter most to him. ALSO, he doesn't act like an immature brat trying to bang all his daughter. However, he's not too bothered by making out with his sister and checking out his mother because he's never known that as that BUT even then, he's still very respectful and gentlemanly which is rare in an MC.

Graphics/Characters: I LOVE it. While Zoe looks average, I'm a big fan of Emma and Ruby. Ruby is the classic beautiful/hot girl, but she's really inexperienced and rather sweet. Her design informs you that she's a popular girl, but she just wants to spend to time with her brother. Emma on the other hand is the "ugly" fat girl. I say that as her role, she's beautiful and cute and gives the MC a lot to work with. She has extra baggage which allows a LOT of character growth and development. The MC did a number on her in both bodies in the past. He's now trying to fix his mistakes and giving her the support she needed all those years. Really good characterization so far. Lucas is okay. He's meant to be the snotty punk kid, but he's just young, lost and stupid. I hope that he is also fleshed out some more. Not a fan of other guys joining the main party (Unless your name is Liam) because of the circumstances and the well meaning nature of the MC, I'm rooting for him to put things right.

Anyway, TLDR, Pacing feels just right, I love the chubby girl and inexperienced popular girl and the MC is pretty cool too. He doesn't act like a little perverted kid all the time.
If you read this @Zargon_games I enjoyed your game A LOT. I like the slow pace you have going so keep it up!

Ok, I'm Old...Die..Come back Young....Can fuck My , Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, and their young friends.....Holy fuck...Why did it take so long to make this story..

Renders are Good...Story is Good, Moving, Touching and funny....
Just kill off the son and its perfect....ok maybe to cruel.. I like what is presented so far keep it up!!!!!!!!!!

Good Points
+ We saw same story in a lot of game already, so its nothing new but it could be interesting with enique details. I hope DEV will manage to add them.
+ We have animations.

Bad Points
- Animations are not that bad but not good either. They are pretty basic, not well maked and dont have good physics either.
- Render and animation quality needs improve. Right now they are looking decent but not good enough.
- Girls/Women looks pretty unattaractive and this needs change.

For The End
This game have potencial but right now its little bit poor. Espacily art style of characters are pretty much biggest bad point.

Rating for the game version 0.2:

For me it was a nice game start/update. The ammount of content is for a second version ok, the story/storytelling is good, the characters are presented very well. Graphics/Renders are also ok, the models are (at least for me) unique and mostly natural looking. There is also sound and music in the game, too. I am not an expert in English, but I had no problems reading the text at all.

To summarize it, I enjoyed it very much and will definitely keep an eye on it. And I'm already looking forward to the next game update.

renders are pretty nice ...
storyline seems ok .. different than i'm used to .. but not bad at all
spelling is spelling .. you can fix whats misspelled .. not really an issue with me
waiting for the next update .. nice job on this game
