VN - Ren'Py - Into the Monster Girl Hole [v0.1.3] [Calabi-Yo-Manifold]

I like it. Perfect use of AI for a visual novel in my opinion. Interesting characters and fun dialogue. Looking forward to seeing what is added.

I like the variety of monster girls. A lot of monster girl games play it too safe.

Don't let the AI art tag fool you this VN is actually really good and the art is more than passing. It's kinky, it's monster girls in the best way, and it's even a little funny. I'm hyped to see where the creator takes it and what kind of sex scenes we will get. Also shout out for not being afraid to get MONDTEROUS with your monster girls Calabi, not enough MG content leans into the exotic and beastial type of girls.

Actually not a bad game, despite its images being AI generated, mainly due to the strength of the writing. And I cannot overstate that enough, the writing is fucking hilarious, doesnt take too much of your time for what youre getting, and isn't at all wordy like some writers tend to be. However, the fact still remains of the ai generation, which really does pull the game down quite a bit. If possible I would find an artist to slowly replace them. The MAIN issue however, I find, is the sex scenes being almost entirely text based. You get a general pic of the monstergirl being ai generated and that is it. I think the one thing above all others that could help raise this game up is getting more cgs for each monstergirl encounter. This could be done via replacing them with an artist like previously mentioned, or with generating more images using whatever ai generator, or even a different generator, of the creators choice. But to conclude, main issue is the sex scenes being purely text based, other than that, great game!

Alright, let's get into "Into Monster Girl Hole" and what makes it a blast. It's filled to the brim with monster girls, and it never fails to surprise you. I was on the hunt for some vore content, and although it's not the main focus, the game delivers in a way I hadn't seen before.
If there's stuff you're not into, the game has your back. You can skip scenes or characters, no problem – a real plus for those who like to mix things up. Though, one heads-up: opting out doesn't always give you the full picture upfront, so if you're trying to avoid certain themes, you might walk into something unexpected.

Now, let's talk writing. It's got this perfect blend of wit, depth, and spice. The writer's skill makes those monster girl encounters come alive without needing anything more than their words.

To be honest, most of the erotic scenes weren't my cup of tea, except for the vore content – that stuff was on point. There was this one scene that hinted at something more intense, and it was a bit of a letdown when it didn't go down that path. Still, the writing quality was top-notch.

And the visuals? They're surprisingly good. The artwork complements the game better than any stock images I've seen in other games. The characters' expressions? Didn't expect them to be so on point.

Each character stands out, and no two scenes are the same. It's a real treat to dive into this game.

I used to call dildos "dilds," but then I took an arrow to the thigh.
However you felt reading that sentence is how you'll feel playing this game. Memes are omnipresent and the titular protag of Hyperdimension Neptunia is gentler with the 4th wall than the Guiding Fairy of Many Names Girl.

There is a lovely amount of "girl monster" in this "monster girl" story, and every scene featured something unexpected to make me smile. I sought the game for the vore tag, for the sake of getting eaten, and found while it doesn't even focus on vore, it features it ways I'd never seen. (Don't worry; you can opt out of any scene/character, which is great for people who dislike vanilla. If it gives you an option in a dialogue choice, you can take that route.)

• One potential complaint is in the way opt-out works: you won't necessarily know what the scene genre is at the time you choose whether or not to engage with a character (you can pre-emptively disable all rape scenes, though.) I don't mind this, since I'm not offended by anything, but if someone more sensitive to certain things may find themselves dissatisfied and/or accidentally into something they don't want to be.

The writing is an expert's dance of hilarity, heavy, and horny. The novelist's mastery of the medium is such that the illustrations of the cast's strange shapes is more than one needs to experience the life in each scene.

• I can't actually rate the quality of most of the eroticism itself, because I was actually not sexually into most of the scenes, except the vore scenes. Those were great. One scene seemed like it was going to be a violent vore one, so not getting a vore route was a bit of a letdown. Very well-written, however.

On the subject of illustrations: the visuals are actually very well-done, and better integrated than any generative images I've seen a work use. I didn't expect such expressions in the character windows~

Every character is a character, and every scene a new experience.
This work is a joy to read.

While I love that this has actual monstrous monster girls (especially with how rare that is with AI,) the lack of images depicting the actual deeds brings this down quite a bit.
The story is pretty good and is humorous, but the porn is lacking, a major issue for a porn game.

v0.1

Has more personality than most AI games I've tried, but still stumbles right into the exact same shortcomings as all the rest. Low effort in the actual porn category, with the most offensive being, of course, the absurd lack of actual AI art. It's almost like they couldn't generate consistent images of the same character more than once or something...

I 100% skipped through the plot, because this is not only a porn game, but an AI one that's at v0.1. I'm here to sample the goods, not get teased by the plot. Glad I did, too. Why? The lewd writing is childish. It's definitely not the worst I've seen on this site, but it's most certainly not the best. Or the okayest. We get text like ggGGGGGGHHHHHH and a single massive <3 from a slime girl whom's existence, much like everyone else's, consists of one picture. From the girls I saw, you never see intercourse. You never see the girls doing anything besides just posing slightly. You most certainly don't see any of the things being depicted.

I'd say this game should have just been text based, but from how short most of the sentences were in the sex scene, it's immediately clear why it wasn't. The scenes themselves aren't the shortest I've seen people get away with, but the writing most certainly doesn't back up its length. This game really needed AI as a crutch, or the text as the AI's crutch, but it seems to have lost both before ever actually taking off.

The UI seems like standard Ren'Py affair until you make the mistake of poking into your inventory, or trying to change your guide's nickname. Shit really starts to look awful then, and you immediately see the extent of the dev's experience showing. I think this is important to mention because people need to stop putting out games before they even understand the engine beyond what a 7 minute tutorial will teach you.

All in all, it's just AI slop at the moment. Not worth a try. I like the vibe they're going for, as it isn't taking itself too seriously like a lot of things. Issue is there's just nothing for this to stand on. It's AI without utilizing the benefits of infinite, free art at your finger tips. It's text reliant without any quality writing to back it up. It's all the worst parts of any mediocre Ren'Py porn game shoved into an embryo that seems ready to shrivel up and pass on...except grinding. At least there was no grinding. But at that point, just make it a VN.

Nice artwork, even if AI generated the story seems interesting and the text is engaging. has humor and seriousness to it as well loved the first release so far. not seen a lot for a downside, other than i wish the scenes were animated but understand the limitations with this type of art. great beginning and can't wait for when we can explore freely and the different types of monster girls. love the fact there are actually "monster" girls not just the cute humanoid types people are mostly used to

P.S the VN is text based so people complaining did not read that it will be mostly text based
