VN - Ren'Py - Zeno's Anthology [v0.3] [Chemical Fire]

Reviewing v0.2.6 (using JoiPlay on Android)

Below is a 1 to 5 star rating that I feel contributed to my over all rating.

Renders: 4.5 ⭐ - The renders are some of the best I have seen with good scene compensation and depth of field giving a high quality appearance. The renders are what carries this game mostly for me.

Animations: 1 ⭐ - There are no animations to be found.

Models 4: ⭐ - The female models are good quality and don't look familiar with believable proportions but the face of the male model is not the best...kinda looks like he gets beat up alot.

Story 3.5: ⭐ - Only three short and incomplete stories in this version that are not related except for having the same PC/MC. All three stories in the current versions are good so far and have potential to go in interesting directions in the future. Can rename the PC/MC in one story.

Hint System: 3 ⭐ - Uses an interesting beaching tree hint system that is only available from the main menu before playing one of the stories showing where story branches are without giving away the choices that will lead down another path.

Lewd Scenes: 3.5 ⭐ - Only two of the three stories have lewd scenes but as stated before they are not animated but still erotic.

In the short amount of time it took to complete the three stories I enjoyed myself but I will probably be waiting a few more versions for more content to be added before playing again.

Quality renders, tension, parallel episodic format works well. Updates are slow, but very replayable. This probably won't be finished for a while, and there's not really a known size of each episode yet, but the potential is high.

Good Points
+ 404 not found... I'm not joking... There is literaly zero good point for this game... Espacily after seeing a lot of 5 star rating i was waiting someting good but all of them turned out missleading...

Bad Points
- Our game divided by episodes like our DEV told: ''The life of Zeno is full of interesting and lewd episodes, full of interesting and lewd women.'' and its kind of weird. Instead of making connected and straight story we have 3 divided/different lewd episode with totaly unfinished content.
- This is thing i saw in couple of games and probably hated most... Doing updates without completing that update. If i need explain with example: in our first choice game gives us choice: ''Should i casualy go there or stay slient?'' and then we got choices: ''Wait and see.'' and ''Coming ın v.0.3'' and thats not all, second choice have same nonsense aswell... ''The door was jammed. and ''Coming in v0.3'' again...- Seriously? So instead of starting two choice at same time and advance it like normal way you gonna advance just one choice, literaly not even implement other one and gone other way? So whats your purpose DEV? You want us lay everyting from begining after whole episode finished? Cool... I realy love wasting my time... The correct development goes like this: you will determine how much content you can add, you will plan your content, add two path starters instead of adding content to one of them and you will stop when you need. Then you will advance both of them for next update. But our game way is literaly most nonsense way you can make update and its annoying...
- Sex scenes looks terrible, angles looks awful and positioning of them are even worse than first two... And lacking animations not helps either...
- We have Static animations (made by 2-3 picture for second) or with my own words AKA ''Stashit'' LOL. They look terrible and i dont even we can call these things animation at all.
- Quality looks pretty bad, its have blurry and weird filter which literaly makes average render quality poor.
- There is zero story, the only thing you gonna saw is some lewd situtations like our DEV told us which literaly makes this game porn with a lot of text instead of game and i dont even think we can call this thing ''porn'' at all... At least porns have purposes for fap, this thing dont have any purpose and its even worse than common porns...
- Art style is not good, girls/women faces dont look attaractive enough and they need change.

For The End
Its totaly waste of time and terrible game...

After playing Lauren path, I am impressed. Writing caches me due to express feelings of both sides. Especially little surprises makes the story more passionate. I think passionate is the right word to describe the game. Renders are quite successful. Models are far more than beautiful.

Interesting game.

The quality is pretty up there. Good renders, good models, hot sex.

Ireally enjoyed the laundry scene. Was an interesting interaction.

The one I wanted most, the girl (I'm a degenerate I know =p) was disappointing. It was just sad and didn't really lead anywhere.
Definitely an interesting story though. I could easily be it's own VN and I'd enjoy it. With... like 10x more content.

The 3rd... You took that straight from supernatural didn't you? xD
It was good though.

With these 3 stories with alternate choices style and this high a quality... I guess I'll check back in a year.

[v0.2.5]
One of the best games on f95zone. Beautiful and original female characters ,absolutely stunning designs , fascinating immersive and interesting stories. This game is a creative work of art. 100% recommended.

The graphics of the game are amazing. It describes the desperation of the character well. The images of the female characters are really good. The effects of decisions can be very decisive. You will enjoy playing. Hopefully, the planned tags will make the game even more attractive.

this game is really great
renders 5/5
story is really good and enjoyable and its have a lot of male domination which is a big plus for me 5/5
most of the choices don't effect the story at all but it have some important choices as well 4/5
overall I give it a 5/5

This is by far my favorite game of all time! The story is the best part about this game that left me on the edge of my seat the entire time of me playing this game. The choices you make are cruel and punishing if you don’t do them right but satisfying when you do! I’ll recommend this game to anyone! 10//10!!

If you are really into sexual assault, and you don't mind terrible writing and atrocious English, this may be the game for you.

The renders are top quality- easily among the best I've ever seen in any adult VN. Unfortunately, everything else about this game is really bad. There are multiple short games in one, which would be great, if only the writing weren't so god awful. Even if nonconsensual sex was a fetish of mine, the dialogues are so jarring, unnatural, and poorly written that it would break any immersion in this game. If the dev could only get a fluent English speaker to edit the dialogues, this game would be exponentially better.

The developer has really got something here! This is not just another avn or quickly made up Renpy game. It has gone as far to not just release one but TWO great written games here. Now it does not appear that choices really matter to the main story, but it gives the impression that this is not going to remain this way as the story unfolds. Excellent job! Hopefully, enough supporters can get behind to keep this from falling to the side like many others.

Good branching story's still in early stages but especially since its been changed to renply its great the only problem i had with the other engine and version was the limited amount of save slots and how long it took to get back to choices great visuals and interesting story's looking forward to more

I have never seen such kind of precision and beauty oh man everything is perfect from beginning to end the story that looks like a movie
character Sexy and hot MC seem very uptight Hollywood quality keep going Dev

No one touches this creator wrt. emphathy, feeling and visual genius. The stories are not just beautifully drawn, but edgy, with character, humor. Just amazing. Real people but presented in Hollywood quality.Thank you!

I really like the format, short stories, intense like Netflix episodes.

Graphic is great, the stories are not the standard horribly boring pre-packed shit.

Plot makes sense, sex is well represented with fairly good amount of images.

Unique in its own genre

This very unique VN ,renders scene are best quality , well written realistic story and good dialogue, game play is amazing it put you really in the drama life , yeah very the best five star good job !!, but please can you provide even more2 interesting scene? and i love chemical fire your are the best story teller haha.

After 100 another games played i have to give a review for this onde, sorry for my bad english.
This game is soo fucking good, i can say that The english is Better than mine of curse but have some mistakes, i recommend very hard playing this game in this versão, have a sex scene and a lot of renders in The woman route, IF you like rape without force, play this, soo fucking good renders, is in my top 3 favoritos of this year, you Will see 300 lides in this game of course in less than one year.

NOW THIS IS MY KIND OF PORN NOVEL I LIKE TO PLAY. BREAKING DOWN A STUCK UP BITCH SLOWLY.

The land lady route looks interesting. Her cravings for sex plus her tough exterior persona she puts seems like a perfect combination. The homeless girl's route also loooks good but I prefer the land lady

RENDERS ARE PERFECT, SEX ORGANS AND BODY TYPES ARE NOT OVER EXAGGERATED.

A SOLID 5/5

Cons:

Need to improve the writings man.

There's not much really to say about this game as there is not much of it as of now. I really like the graphics, but good Lord, the writing is on another level of bad. I think the game has potential, but I doubt anything short of getting a competent writer is gonna cut it.

Review of version v.0.2.1

I like the game; good renders - multiplechoices and consequences.
Limited contents for the moment. There is only two stories the player can explore, and few options /routes to choose from right now.

So grammar mistakes here and there, nothing atrocious. Honestly i never mind poor english.

Ill be following that particular game and recommend this version.
