VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Fantasy Valley [Ch.10] [Ancho]

The story is interesting, the pace is almost perfect, and the game keeps you engaged.

Honestly, I thought it was a 16GB game only to notice it was only 500MB lol.

One of the best games I ever played, if the artist is willing to pick it up again, I'll personally support you financially with what I can, I'm sure a lot will do. It's sad this game is abandoned.

One of the best games I've played story wise. While the art is not everyone's poison, I think it's unique and gets the job done . The character development is fantastic, the interactions are a little tedious in the first half of the chapters but improves a lot by the second. I love the partial sandbox aspect of the game and methodical personality of each girl. Truly a hidden gem for the ages which is sadly discontinued.

Summary
This is a fantastic game and one of the best VNs I played. Albeit "abandoned," there is more than enough content, and at the very least, the final chapter served as a conclusion for 'Book 1'.

The story is compelling for a lewd game. The writing leads to interesting characters with character development throughout the chapters. They have personalities that go beyond your desire to want to lay with them; instead, you'll find yourself caring for the dreams and ambitions of said characters. There is some tongue-in-cheek and a few fourth-wall-breaking humor, but nothing that detracts from the story.

The art style is unique and hence refreshing. Initially, I was on the fence about the art style. The animations were initially lackluster, but they improved with each evolving chapter. The characters seem to be diverse, which is always lovely to see. The bodies presented are more-so 'thicc,' albeit some characters are what some would consider "slim-thick."

Criticism
The second half of the game is more captivating than the first half -- albeit one can argue that it's partially due to the first half focusing on introducing the reader to the overall world and characters.

There is one character with whom the story was amping up a relationship, but unfortunately, we ultimately didn't get a conclusion with this character, as the PC was not given the opportunity to lay with her.

Other Things To Address:
Checking out the thread a bit, and I see all this talk about NTR. I don't understand the controversy. This game has one 'controversial' scene towards the beginning chapters. It's technically not NTR, by definition. Essentially, you witness a bully who is laying a girl you fancy. This girl is not in a relationship with you, and you eventually get the opportunity to win her heart and completely kick the bully out of the picture. Where is the controversy? Have none of you ever touched grass and fancied someone who was sadly already taken? I could've sworn NTR was more of a kink about getting cheated on, not the scenario described above. If anything, this is voyeurism, one scene of voyeurism. Anyhow forget all that, and give this game a try!

It was one of the best games I've played and this is the first time I've ever felt so sorry for a game to be abandoned. it definitely needs to go on but even if it doesn't, everyone should take a look at this game

Best handdrawn porn Game out there, sadly the developer doesnt continue it - but it has witty humor and made me really fucking horny, cause some girls are a real tease and a pleasure to watch even though not naked...

Wow just wow I'm simply and completely out of words in my small time in this website THIS, THIS one right here has to be the best adult game I have came across in my hunt or atleast in the top tier list, it's unfortunate this was abandoned, but I highly highly highly highly recommend folks to check this out and give it a rub you won't regret it. The story line, charracter chemistry, and the art it's a masterpiece, a gem, a chef's kiss. If you ganna play this game make sure you have free time on your hand since the story is pretty big. And a slight warning I don't think the tags mentioned it but yes there are some scenes of sharing (you in a threesome with some girl and a dude) since that can be a turn off for some folks, you also cuck a close friend (shameless ik) but other than some missing tags GREAT game seriously give it a download and check it out.

This a true gem, one of the most original stories, with beautiful artwork that get progressively better in the later epsiodes, has a good mixture of free roaming and story telling. My personal favorite.
Unfortunately like most underdogs never got the recognition it deserved, so Ancho decided to call it quits, buy maybe if you support him on Patreon, there can be hope

Unique, eye-catching art, with an enchanting and playful atmosphere. Combine this with lovable characters, witty dialogue, and steamy h-scenes, and you have yourself a fantastic, and ultimately original VN. Ancho is easily one of the most talented and passionate creators around, and I can only hope he someday returns to making such wonderful content.

Creative, Innovative, those are the words for this project.

An one perfect vision of a story wich develops smoothly and funny all the time. This work decevie all 5 stars from users.. Always heared fan supports and comments, and always created a bunch of new ideas for the game. It's atractive and sexy all the scenes with a feeling of wishing more.

Fantasy Valley isn't heavily choice based. We can shape the MC's personality, but his choices doesn't affect the gameplay (in most cases). This might've stopped me from enjoying some other games, but it's not an issue while I play this game cus the story told is quite engaging and well-written without many errors. I felt the art in the first half of the game was average-ish, but it improved massively in the second half. I liked the fact that the dev spent time to develop the characters of the LI's before we got the lewd scenes and that paid off massively in stories of certain characters. There is a few NTR scenes and a sharing scene in the second half of the game, but those scenes are fairly important in the character arcs, so I'd advise the other players to not get discourage after seeing them. Would suggest everyone to play the game as it is one of the best 2D games on this site and has a lot of content to play through.

Excellent game that manages to set its self apart from so many in the same genre.
Ancho's hand drawn art has come a long way since his first version and each subsequent update has raised the bar immensely. It's rare to be so excited to see what will happen next while also looking forward to new scenes.

Each scene has an appropriate amount of build and ends up being well worth the wait.

Ancho deserves all the support anyone can muster and I really hope he continues making this game!

Great, unique art with a story that doesn't get in the way. Deserves a lot more attention and support. Starts slow but every update has plenty of content. Much better than another daz3d or honey select.

Was recommended to try this game out from someone over on the summertime saga forum. The art style did throw me off at first especially the first few chapters but it has improved a lot however old sprites that will pop up from time to time. This is a game you should stick with the writing is excellent the author has a crafted a compelling narrative, full of mystery, whacky characters, and comedic moments. There was even a point where I skipped over a sex scene because the actual story had me so engaged. The characters have great dynamics and from chapters 1 to 10 there has definitely been some character development which I love. The way chapter 10 ended was very cinematic and has me very excited for the next update. Please try this game out don't let the art detour you from what is an amazing story.

A veryy unique looking series with interesting characters and some really good spicy moments, and the best part of it al is that there is no grind! this game is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it. I hope the developer continues this.

Great game with a lot of potential.

Very good art style improving drastically throughout the chapters. Nice animations too. The story is really good, waiting eagerly for the next chapter. Ch9 and Ch10 are the best ones so far.

Suggestion which was already proposed by many: please add a scene gallery.

I really hope that the author continues working on the game, its one of my favorite

It started out slow but damn it picked up in quality in chapter 5 onwards this game ranks up there with games like summer saga so don't misss out on a amazing game like this; i don't write reviews often only when they give some real quality games

I dont have much to say about this game just fckn play it and you will not regret it. also support the dev he really deserves the support he has tough times.... with that being said just play the god damn game!!!!!

I gave it a 4 star rating because of it's good content, and by good content, I mean that it has good visuals, audio, plot, and good characters. At first, the MC seems to be a little bit weak, but as the story progresses, the MC has shown a great promise and good character development. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 star is because the game is not yet complete. But for now, I highly recommend it you guys to try and play this game, and who knows, you might like it just as I have.

Version Played: All the way to Chapter 10

I discovered this one on a search for more games with 2D original art and while the style itself didn't really do much for me, the positive reviews made me take a look.
As others have mentioned in their reviews, this game has a very slow start, particularly from the sex standpoint, so if you're here for a quickie, you might want to look elsewhere.
That said, the story is really fun and the characters are interesting and likable.
Another thing I have to admit is that, while the art is incredibly charming, it isn't really that hot. It's like if a child's picture book got turned into a porno.
Later chapters definitely make it hotter, but it really takes a while for things to get going on that front.
I can say that from Chapter 7, there is finally a satisfying balance of sexual content to story, with there a being A LOT of the good stuff starting from Chapter 8.

Positives
+ Original, unique artstyle with animations
+ Cool setting and fun story
+ Simple and fun to play with little Easter eggs for diligent clickers

Negatives
- Art style can be polarizing and doesn't really lend itself well to hardcore pornography (ymmv)
- Slow start

From Chapter 8, I've gotten really into the characters and world and this game has climbed the ranks to become one of my very favorites.
In spite of its unfinished state and the Dev seemingly taking a break on entirely new content, what's here is still a 5. I'm actually holding off on playing Chapter 10 because I don't want it to end!
This is also only the second game I've ever given money to (the first being Harem Hotel) and will gladly send more as new updates come.

Like this? Try?: Summertime Saga
Note to Devs: I cannot imagine the amount of work that has gone into this. Thank you very much for this lovely project!
