Ren'Py - MWNeus [v0.10] [CLLGames]

I'm going to keep this update brief since I'm still trying to cope with the schizophrenia this game gave me...

The Good

• The plot has some level of structure and tries to tell a rather serious story - that being one of split-personality disorder. Overall, the author does a good enough job with leaving just enough clues for the audience to make an assumption as to what the "twist" is going to be.
• While some might see this as a negative, I find it highly refreshing the pace at which the dev progresses from one lewd/story scene to the next. Not everything has to be a 10-20 chapter novel to be enjoyable, and in that aspect I feel the dev has succeeded.
• The lewd scenes are enjoyable enough with properly looped animations. Additionally, the dev also put in the time and effort to differentiate scenes with alternate outfits when he could have easily recycled previous animations.
• Spoilers ahead for this one...
  • Neus is one of the more in-depth characters I've come across, and it's all the more impressive when the dev manages to implement Lyra - a variation of Neus - who also has similar levels of depth despite essentially being a copy. Not much can be said about Sylvia until she's given more screen time, but it'll be interesting to see how she's developed over time.
  • It was also genuinely surprising seeing that the conlcusion to the story resulted in 4 split paths, 3 of which you can interact with to varying degrees. I will say that the "Normal" ending was a bit of a heartbreak despite the short bit of narration, but with the main theme dealing with personalities and their associated disorders it's unsurprising that this was included as an ending. Thankfully, for those who love Neus, it doesn't seemed to be considered one of the "true" endings as those are reserved for the "obsession" arcs.

Now onto...

The Bad

• The lack of any coherent hair style for Neus genuinely irritated me as she went from medium length hair w/ bangs straight to a super long ponytail. Even more egregious is that fact that the hairstyles change multiple times DURING THE SAME DAY... If you're reading this CLL, I beg of you to just stick with one hairstyle...
• Despite praising the dev for the generally fast pacing of the story, there are moments where the pace is a bit too fast and you skip the necessary transition dialogue to get from point A to point B. Thankfully there isn't any time travel shenanigans at play here, but it can be a bit disorienting for anyone who fails to make it far enough into the story for all of the intro stuff to make a bit more sense.

Conclusion
MWNeus is a textbook example of a "diamond in the rough". There are several areas where it does better than the competition, and just as many where it falls much shorter. However, given the content that's there, it's not hard to understand why it ranks high in most people's opinions despite the shortcomings.



Who is the target audience?
Anyone with a pregnancy fetish, or loves the whole split-personality dynamics.

What is the average length of content?
I'd say that the whole story and it's endings can rack upwards to 12 hours of actual playtime. It's a ridiclously short VN.

Is it worth purchasing on Steam?
Only if it's listed at $5 USD. It's a great first project, but lacks the necessary skill and polish that would justify a listing price of $20 USD (which is where most of these projects seem to fall).


To CLL directly: You've done a great job with your first project, and I really hope to see you stick around in the AVN scene. I think with a bit more practice and experience that you could quickly rise the ranks of most renowned devs on this site.

Brainrot: the game

There's an embarrassingly low bar when it comes to writing for adult games, this one manages to miss it by a mile.

"I want to have 11 children before your egg factory expires"
"Mmmm, I don't think i can have that many."
"I believe in you..."
"Hmm.."
It keeps going like that as the brain rot sets in.
The gameplay mechanics are meaningless, the story makes no sense and the dialogue moves between utter gibberish to weird imitation of humans, and the scenes other reviews kept going on about aren't even good.

The fact this is rated 4/5 at the time of me writing this is mind boggling.

It's little more than a slightly glorified slideshow, but goddamn is it a good slideshow.

I agree with some of the other posters that I don't think the story is great, I think the pacing is a overly fast, but really, does any of that matter if it hits the right buttons?

This game works for me and I found it really quite hot and that's all that matters in my opinion. Especially because of the preg content which can be sorely lacking in other games with the pregnancy tag.

4/5, if only because as I said, the story and pacing are lacking, but if you like the character, you'll probably enjoy the game.

Another pointless junk game. There are no redeeming qualities. Plot, writing, story, pacing, are at the worst level possible.

Scenes are subpar and uninteresting. The whole game duration is around 5-6 minutes if you skip dialogues, which you should do anyway.

Even though MWNeus is a pretty weird name, the game is actually a really good porn game.

Pros:
1) Great renders.
2) Especially great animations.
3) Because the game focuses on only one girl, there is a lot of depth to her and her content seems to branch out to many different possibilities.
4) She has a fat ass.
5) Sandbox isn't grindy.

Cons:
1) The writing is inconsistent and incoherent often. Sometimes you go from point A to point C but totally skip point B between them. Same can be said about the plot. But this isn't a VN so it's not a deal breaker.
2) MC has really weird hair and is a bit rapey.

good story, and scenes, really liked the female lead, and the phases too. the milf one was my favorite one . the game felt complete even though there was no complete status and the version was 0.1 so hopefully there will be more content added to this game

Some might call this a game. It's definitely something. The writing is bad enough that it had me searching for the dialog file pretty quickly. Maybe it would be better if I was into tsundere. The model is attractive, though no buxom babe here. If petite is your thing, it could work for you.

Long story short, it's not for me.

I tried this out because the art looked good and it had a high rating, but this game had the absolute worst writing, pacing, and gameplay I have ever seen. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy this. Maybe just download it, unlock the gallery, and watch the scenes? Even so the writing in the gallery scenes is painful. Just don't bother with this one.

Super good game, focus on one single girl and from friends to lover and eventually to marry and stuff. Absolutely amazing. Let give the dev all the support he need. I wish people can make more games like this and I have no problem dropping more money support!

One thing I love about this game definitely how the sandbox not that annoying which is very nice.

Story wise that's for you to decide whether you like it or not but for me I actually enjoyed it a lot to the point that I'm quite addicted to this game.

Neus super adorable and sexy as hell
MC pretty quite handful at times but hey can't blame him.

Overall this game pretty awesome I genuinely don't know what's other people talking about calling it bad or something but hey that's just their opinion.

Again I enjoyed the crap out of this game probably one of my favorites and hoping to see more in the future welp that's about it. Take care dev

When peeps review and say the story is terrible, I take that with a pinch of salt. I can always follow a story thread however tenuous it may be...!

But, in all the games I have tried on this site, this has been the first one that I had no idea what was going on.

Forget going from 0-100 too fast, this starts at 99 and oscillates between 97 and 102! It's confusing and I had to drop it faster than 981cm/s.

On the positive side, the LI is cute. I appreciate a small cast. This could be good.

I wish the Dev all the best. Current version is 0.9, and I do know that the last 20% of a game's development is 80% of the work... so maybe it will be worth checking out soooooon....

The writing in this game is ABYSMAL. Do not trust the opinions of anyone who says otherwise.

• The syntax and grammar? Bad
• The dialogue? Awful
• The character development? Atrocious
• The world-building? Poor
• The story? Lousy
• The pacing? TERRIBLE

Honestly, I could go on, but I'm getting tired of coming up with synonyms for "shit".

So why, you might ask, am I not giving it a 1 star review if it's so dreadful? 3 stars isn't even that terrible, you might say.

Well the reason is simple: This game is hot as fuck.

Put another way, if you ignore all the writing and just watch the sex scenes, this game is genuinely good. The renders are gorgeous. The LI looks amazing and she has a dozen hot outfits, different makeup and hair styles, etc... The animation starts off solid and gets better as time goes on. The sex scenes have various positions, locations, and angles.

Genuinely, if I could rate this game on the sex scenes and visuals alone, it would be an easy 4.5. But the writing is so bad that it drags everything else down with it.

TLDR; Do yourself a favor and pick this game up when you want nothing more than fap material. Skip ALL the dialogue, just pretend the game is a slideshow and you'll have a better time with it.

This next part is for the dev: Please, for the love of god, work with a writer. Your visuals are very good, and you seem to be improving even more. If you worked with someone who could write believable characters and even a half-decent story, you could make something genuinely great here.

The only good thing about this game is the model for the LI. There is no story at all it moves to fast. This is just a porn game with sandbox grind and there are better animations in other games if you want a fap. It's okay for what it is I will still check out future updates but it's a bit boring for me to rate any higher than a 2 star. I'd really give it a 2.5 if I could cause the renders do look nice for the effort the dev has put into it but I can't give it a 3 yet.

The story could use more scenes, flashbacks of sorts, depiction of how they grew and how they got to the point they are in life during the story, could use some more sadness, something that keeps you intrigued.. but hottdamn sex scenes are veeeeery good.

This is super nicely done, nice animation, interesting plot and mc is not a weakling, a joke so many others. Obviously, the girl\s is/are cute as hell ...and the story is almost full - well at least it doesnt feels like is cut in cliffhanger...

Simple story, executed incredibly well. I hope to see what else the dev has plans for next. But I do hope the next game has a more intricate narrative. I think the games biggest asset would be it's renders.

Mechanically a simple game, but executed well. The strong point of this game is definitely the renders. The user interface, and how your interact with the game feel straightforward simple and is well done (this deserves mentioning because it is certainly not always the case, and creating a good UI is deceptively hard). I'm giving it 5 stars, not because it's a perfect game, but because it's worth your time.

The premise of the game is that you're corrupting your roommate to breed her. I like that this game is not grindy at all. You can play through it pretty quick and get to the 'ending'.

Now the ending deserves some mention. I played the 0.8 version and after some endings there is more content. It even seems like the game is set up to continue play. I don't know how I feel about that. I enjoyed the ending sequences. However, I don't think the game needs a continuation after that. I also wasn't sure if I got to see all the content because after some endings the story branches and branches again. I would have been happy with just 2 or 3 ending sequences and a return to menu. Perhaps a tip for the developer: sometimes less is more/better.

Interesting game, great renderings, the girls are very good despite their crazy personalities it's still excellent, mc now has a lot of mouth to feed .

Congratulations to the developer with his project.

This might be the best example of this style of game I've ever seen. No grind at all. For all it's rough edges Neus feels really likeable and endearing and the scenes are all really hot. This game seems like a real passion project.

Simple review because I love pretty much everything about it. One star off for the really really terrible grammar. Half the time i have no idea what they are saying. But I get the overall theme. Get a Translator to fix the dialogue and you have a winner.
