VN - Ren'Py - Twisted Memories [v0.8b] [BaiBai]

Wow, what a roller coaster. This is suprisingly wholesome. Maybe I am playing it wrong but wow. In all my life never imagine a tagg with UB been a emotional roller coaster. Great job looking forward to the future updates.

Love the premise. Love most of the designs and character dynamics but I have a bad feeling that this might be a case of a developer being really good at setup/lead-up/foreplay/etc. but maybe when it actually comes down to the content scenes, they'll just be pretty mediocre/bland. I really hope not. I really hope I'm wrong. It's still very early to tell. There's currently not really any content and even the setup is pretty hot/erotic (although I wish there was some content). I do wonder if it'll have pacing issues where it's like every character is slow to start and every character gets to content toward the end which isn't exactly fun, at least to my taste and can feel pretty slow for a long time. I do generally think because a lot of erotic games are all being done by 1 person that a lot of erotic games have 1 aspect that's really its strength. Some games are really amazing visually but pretty mediocre in character dynamics/content scene writing and inspiration/pacing etc. or some of the games made with this engine that makes pretty good anime style visuals have either developers that are really good about one aspect of writing but lacking in others like good with setup/build up but not so good with the actual content scenes (and they just end up feeling like cheap porn scenes) or like they're really good character dynamics and story/pacing but weak on tone/style. I totally understand that it's asking a lot for 1 developer to be an expert in all aspects which isn't really what I'm expecting. But I do think erotic games are ultimately about the quality of the content scenes (which there are none yet) so that's why I give it 4 stars. I'm interested to see how this goes. It's definitely a good setup/character dynamics but even like the character Stephanie I thought had a really nice character dynamic as this really horny/pervy "provacative" kinda guy friend in a hot girl's body personality which I think can have fantastic scenes but it's like even in the intro it's like what happens with her (becoming this shy girl who really likes the protagonist) is confused writing. Like that's a different character dynamic than what she had going for her. I mean maybe it'll still work out to be really good but idk it's like I was sold on the whole cool girl personality and then what I got was a shy girl arc which can be hot too but it's just I wanted the cool pervy direct/easy girl thing going on. And that kind of potentially "confused writing", does seem like a bad omen to me that maybe this is one of those games where the intro looks really interesting but each update is just increasingly uninspired and kinda meh. I'd be glad to be wrong and look forward to seeing the updates.

Reviews written as of version 0.1 and is subject to change as new versions come out.
This one is a was a pleasant surprise, too bad there is much content.
Short version below. Long at the bottom of the review.

Pros:

• Good looking models (slightly a bit to busty but it's fine)
• Decent story so far. (Only INTRO as of now)
• Good grammar

Cons:

• Nothing as of now

Review:

This one was a very pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't expecting much from it (just a tiny bit from seeing thumbnails) however it came out pretty nicely.
Without further ado let's go!
Models are all good look although a bit on the busty size it nothing to extreme (kinda not?).
So far all girls seems to have their own personality and are not just your Fuckable doll with just a pretty face.
MC as well actually have a proper model and not your usual male template asset, I've seen many and I repeat MANY devs having really good looking female assets but completely neglecting all males, so it's a bit of fresh air regarding this as well.
!!!Spoiler alert!!!
Story so far is decent, nothing mind blowing but also no YadaYada bullshit. At first MC was considering behaving the same way (staying low-key) which some games tend to do but fortunately he decided to act up and not keep waiting for things to fortunately go better and miraculously it does.
At first it gives the impression of MC reincarnating at the same world but with things going favorably in his directions be girls that didn't like him actually caring about him and your typical yadayada, hopefully it's not for now let's hope that it was just the MC not really paying attention to things around him (like most of us did during middle/high school).
The grammar, I didn't notice any mistakes, but then again I was actively looking for it nor is english my native language you will probably find more grammar mistakes in this review then the entirety of this game as of now >.<.

I wish the Dev good luck on the project, keep up the good work!!

Pros:

• Art and models are great, my only concern with these models is how sex scenes will look like. Lazier devs have issues with dick piercing huge tits
• Story is very promising
• Writing style is high quality

Cons:

• I almost never let personal content preferences impact my rating, but the youngest sister is really off-putting for non-loli enjoyers. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to disable content with her via settings if possible.

Things to look out for in future releases:

• There are a lot of female characters MC will fuck. Beginner devs usually try getting MC to fuck them, or balance their stories equally. This often sacrifices dialogue and story quality to get to the absolute number of girls there are to fuck. Dev needs to focus on core characters (fam, teacher, two classmates, or maybe even less than the previous mentioned) if they want to have updates in acceptable time frames without compromising high quality writing and story.
• A lack of variety in Character clothing can really kill the ambiance of a game. Hope dev has some good ideas for outfit ideas that fit the story well.

Nice story, it's so promising, family and frieds corruption meow! that's one of the best teasers i've played in months, for me it's a five stars game, i hope the theveloper continues with this because it's an undercover diamond

A very good over all story here. The premise is a solid take on one used in the past by others but well done here. The game has solid writing backed by solid art. This story is still very new but this initial offering is very solid and easy to follow. Can't wait to see the next chapters.

Cool game for now. The concept and story are simple enough but clever. The characters are likeable (including the MC, who actually kinda has a character, which is nice for once) and the modeling and rendering is pretty good. Looking forward to what comes next. Good luck dev!

Good game, but so far it have just a little of content, like 10 minutes, (No sex scene yet) but it's good, besides having a lot of potential and great renders. i wish this project continues and go well, lets see how will end. Looks like it will be a strong corruption game. (oh boy, i liked it)
I am excited to the futher atualizations, good luck to the Dev.
I reccomend this game, even if it's the first release. Lets give a chance to the game.
Renders/graphics - 10/10 (i liked it a lot)
History - 9/10
Main character is *kinda not that ugly old man from ntr mangas, i mean, he is but, in the history, he got back to the past.
