Ren'Py - Seeds of Chaos [v0.4.04 Dev] [Vénus Noire]

While the art and all of the sex stuff is amazing quality in this game, that isn't why this game inspired me to share my opinion and heartfelt reccomendation. This is the type of story that stays with you. As Rowan, you are thrown in a very desperate situation that keeps spiraling out of control. And trough the fire and the flames savoury character development ensues. There are a LOT of choices to make and all explicit content is optional. It's a great work of art.
The music is a definitive downside though as the same few tracks play in almost every situation. It can become grating and sometimes unfitting to what happens in the game. I would recommend turning it off and perhaps playing music from a playlist of your own to enhance the experience. There's a misspelling or a grammatical error here and there, especially with newer content, but it doesn't take much away from the experience. The writing overall is pretty good.
Gameplay is a mess but at least it isn't grindy so you can focus on the story itself. That is where this game shines. I would say that the game would benefit if it was done more as a visual novel.
All in all I am excited to see what will became of Rowan Blackwell in the end.
Version as of the time writing this review: v0.2.65

The story is something else. I stopped playing hentai games but this vn still keeps me hooked The art is amazing and updates are consistent. The themes of seduction and corruption manifest differently from other games yet brilliantly. An author knows what he/she is doing. The variety of contest is vast: domination/submission, gay/lesbian, races, NTR, corruption. On top of that, you can avoid them resulting in very flexible gameplay.
Definitely worth your time and attention. As time goes game is becoming more rich in worldbuilding and character development. I'm looking forward to see where the project will go.

best adult game ever for me. various story options(of course not that much but) and avoidable ntr(of course you can choose) and any above all, ilust is great and beautiful. highly recommanded. you should try.

One of the best games I've had the chance to play the story is absolutely awesome and not to mention the art is just as good I can not recommend this game enough. Love the character development and the impact of choices that are made.

As an NTR lover, I must say that this game has fantastic NTR. The premise and game style are both fairly unique as far as as H-games go, and there is also quality non-NTR content for the less interesting of us Definitely worth a play!

My only complaint about the game is that it can be somewhat of a timesink, which is enjoyable the first few times around but not as fun if you're grinding trying to find a few new scenes between versions. That's why I'm trying my best to put it off and not play it, but I still keep coming back to it, looking at it, and thinking "come on. Self control. The longer you wait, the better it will be." and it STILL TEMPTS ME. Not many games do that.

Pros:
So this one of those games that could have been a 5/5 if a bit more was included to fill in the gaps. First of all the art style is absolutely mind boggling. So freaking hot. One of the best art styles on F95.
The lust is really good. Say what you will but, the dozens of helpless/defenseless scenarios, lustful stories, sex corruption, all of it is so damn good. The story is good too and has a plot to it.
The characters are pretty interesting and the interactions between characters is interesting too. Except for Helayna, who just sits in your room with just 2 repeatable scenes for the entire game and nothing else.
The platform is alright. I like the map minigame of exploration and the inside house ..but sometimes it felt very lacking.
Cons:
One of my largest issues with this game was the lack of scenes. The art is 10/10, simply superb and very lustful. However the quantity is 3/10 at best. Many dark screens during supposed "scenes". A lot of hot scenes only includes 1 or 2 pictures which feels very lacking. Sometimes the text is talking of a different scenario and the picture is completely different, with no adjustments done to the scenes at all.
At times it felt like the game was giving you massive blue balls due to the scenarios barely having pictures during scenes.
The story-line of Alexia assignments is really all over the place and not consistent, probably badly coded. The story should be loaded in order no matter what so that it follows a story. But it loads them randomly.
And again, the completely black screens during other "scenes" just doesn't cut it.
Lastly, like I said I feel like the minigame/quests could of used a lot more work. You get gold but basically have no way to use it. I never needed to use the gold for anything, and there was no way to use it even if you wanted to. You level up once during the entire game. You get about 2-3 random items during the whole game which again are useless. You upgrade things but it doesn't even feel needed, you can go without it. You explore the map but there's only 2 important dots, the rest don't matter.

Summary:
If it wasn't for the lack of pictures during scenes, and if the minigames was improved to the point where more than 20% of the things like gold and upgrades actually mattered, then this game could of been a 5/5. Heck just improve on the quantity of pictures alone and it would be close to 5/5. But due to the game being a huge blue balls inducing game, I give it 3.5/5.
The scenes simply make you feel like you need to see more. 1 or 2 pictures doesn't cut it.

Absolutely fantastic game and I'm surprised it's not rated higher. The artwork is unique and beautiful, the story and dialogue well written, and there are many paths you can take which will drive both the narrative and outcome of the game. One of the few games I have supported financially and am proud to have done so.

Masterful Art and Just as great level of storytelling and immersion propels this into one of the more ambitious games out there which although has themes of sex and debauchery, doesn't rely only on that, but instead tries to do more and using a dark fantasy setting is just cherry on top of this devilish cake. Truly great work and The only critique I have is I would like more renders per scene , but the writing more than makes up for it.
Looking forward to further developments, kudos to this gem.

Solid bisexual content allowing the male character to be dominated and topped by both male characters and other characters with the required equipment while he retains his ability to be a "virile" and dominating character in his own right (if you choose to go this route). Games like this are stupid hard to find

There is NTR thats (so far) not actual NTR, I personally dislike almost all NTR because it usually focuses on turning the MC into a cuck. This game allows NTR (if you enable it) that makes logical sense based on your choices. For example if you take a prisoner as your bedmate to "save her" from the twins the wife might decide fair is fair and let the male twin mount her while the MC is mounting the bedmate turning it into more of a poly/open relationship than NTR (in some cases the husband and wife play with the same character together)

Overall this game is full of less common but awesome kinks making it a lot of fun to play, the writing is good, the plot is an interesting twist on hero tropes. I just wish it wasnt so hard to find more games like it on F95

I am not really sure how I feel about this game, I played through the available content and it kept my attention with it's interesting storylines, characters and worldbuilding but at the same time it also felt like quite a let down.

Pros -

- Great writing and storytelling with lore
- Interesting characters and some decent development
- Some quality 2D art
- Plenty of choices and twists (though it seems most don't really matter)
- No grind

Cons -

- No animations, all static images (couple of frame by frames with like 2-3 pics)
- Lack of art during the sex scenes, maybe 1 or 2 pics and that's it
- A lot of missing art during the scenes (just black screen)
- Walls and walls of text a lot of which seems to be on unimportant events
- 5 years of development and still the first act is not finished (could have easily wrapped it up by now)

Overall I cannot rate it more than 3 stars, yes the story, lore, characters, writing and art are very well done but it seriously lacks in quantity where the visual department is concerned, your faced with gigantic walls of text with little art to match it.

On top of that the game has been in development for quite a long time and there is a tonne of unrelated events and content which could have been cut to focus on the main story and wrap it all up.

This is literally publishing quality. The art is great, the story is an actual story and not just some background for the porn and the characters are all wonderful and interesting. Hopefully It'll release before I'm too old to get an erection without taking a pill though.

A well-written game with all sorts of mechanics to flesh out its storyverse, but some of its charm that got me hooked seems gradually fading into obscurity.

Story/Writing- The premise is simple. The hero, who retired over a girl, soon finds out that the offsprings of the demon king he defeated has come to wreck havoc over their region. Having caught off guard, he must now help them conquer the six realms to insure her wife's safety. That's where everything the story will evolve. While it looks too plain, the devs did an excellent job to introduce conflicts that will test out the hero's morality. There are several ways to proceed with story, with each of them having their own repercussions to himself and his wife. Regarding the conquering of the six realms, however, I think its obvious to see that it won't reach at that point given that there is only 1 major city(not sure if it's representative of 1 realm) to conquer despite having the game in development for 5 years. However, that doesn't make the game less immersive. In fact, there's already more than enough content to explore even if its scope is small. For the writing, there's very few grammatical errors, although I did notice that the misuse of the words 'than' and 'then' has been more prevalent in the newer updates. 4 stars

Gameplay- This is where much of my gripe comes. While choices having impacts is nothing new, what got the most of my interest is the simulation mechanics. Accomplishing goals on a time constraint brings the feeling of urgency. It's what consists most of the earlier part of the game. From managing gold to troops, I honestly thought it will be an integral part of the story. However midway through the game, you will soon realize its pointless. Having maxed out troops or shit ton of gold doesn't give any benefit. There were no shops to spend gold and most of your troops are only used for raids, but even then it doesn't give a dent to your total army. Damn I've wanted to try out the driders against the rastedel troops, or at least lead an army of orc(or cubis) to their doorstep. It was quite unfortunate that this feature is irrelevant now, but I am hopeful that they will be revived in the following updates. The rest of the gameplay is good. The exploration on the map is unique and the choices for major decisions are branched out nicely. 3/5

Art/Renders- Hand-drawn art is always good. While at times it may look inconsistent with each other, I think it's to be expected to commission several artists to lighten the load. Honestly, I'd still play it even if its only text. 4/5

Overall 4+3+4÷3 = 3.66 ~ 4 stars

this game is one of my favorite games on the site ,
art is one of the best you'll find here
-the story is really good , not a happy one and it's really different from the games , i didn't feel comfortable playing the mc at first because of that but you know , life is not always rainbows and teddybears
-the UI is great , the best one i've seen on a Ren'py game
-didn't feel so grindy to me

Amazing fantasy lewd game. The gameplay itself is great, with a focus on building and army management, as well as exploration and conquest of a hex map fantasy setting. The MC's wife is very fleshed out as a character, to the point she's almost a co-MC. The other characters are likewise well defined and have interesting personalities. As for the lewd stuff, the sex scenes between the MC and his wife as well as the various other characters are great. The NTR stuff is great too.

Love the refreshing direction from story design and take on castle's keep management and slow expanse progression design. Cannot wait to see how they progress the castle's resource management minigame. It was a refreshing distraction in the middle while progressing through the story. Same with the X moves per day on the world map. Enjoyed the random choices the human female shadowing encounters .

Excellent! Worth Having it in my collection. Still I would prefer if it would indicate what to do next or provide clues for further questing, as I got stuck at around 150 weeks and didn't manage to unlock quite a few artworks.

Holy shit, this is the best game I've played in a long time!
Reviewed at version: 0.2.61b

Art: 10/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Story: 9/10
Lewdness: 10/10
Kinkiness: 8/10
Bugs: Didn't encounter any but needs some optimizations and tweaks

My Overall Score: 5/5, must play

Art:
Extremely well drawn, has a modern and fresh feel to it, it's all digital art done by very talented artists, visually very pleasing, the map and other visuals in the game could use some work but I find that insignificant at this point.

Gameplay:
it's a morph of RPG, VN and Management.
I really liked the gameplay, you got a realm/castle to manage, and after your management phase you get into adventures in a tabletop map, you got to look out of your resources and handle them, overall it has a fun gameplay, even if you cut out the sex scenes, it's still okay. the reason I deduced some points is because the gameplay still feels incomplete and lacking, hopefully it's because the game is still in the making and it'll be much better when finished.

Story: [Spoiler Free]
It's a little long but well written, I usually get bored in a lot of these games and skip a lot of the texts, glad to say this wasn't the case with Seeds of Chaos, even though there are times where you feel like reading is the only thing you're doing, it's still an interesting read and concept. huge corruption themes involved and I personally loved it.

Kinks: [Possible Spoiler alert]

* I probably won't play this game anymore until it's finished, and most likely do an edit on my review then, nevertheless it's gone to my list of favorite games.

What I love the most about this game is the inclusion of a myriad of fetishes in the gameplay. With mind boggling stills and some good animations, the game is definitely one of the best - visually and in story.

It has Minotaur(hopefull more) having sex with a nice cute girl.

Good story, renders are nice, you have choice to cheat/to ntr/ to harem/to do random stuff and choose who to fck and who not to.

Only thing that bugs me is the luck chance and there is no walktrough so i dont know if i missed some scenes or how to get certant scenes....

PROS
-Amazing art style.
-Good writing.
-Good UI and gameplay.
-Many choices and paths to follow.

CONS
-Updates are few and far between.
-Some missing H scenes.
-NTR is avoidable, but if you decide to avoid it, you will have less content.
-A bit grindy sometimes.
-For an erotic game the plot is fine, but for me the major drawback is a pathetic and unbearable main character, it's just impossible to maintain interest in the story and get empathy for him.

VERDICT
Wait. There's a lot of content and improvements to be added, and despite some drawbacks, in general, the game is good and has a lot of potential and good work to appreciate. So you should check it out in the future.
