Unity - Taffy Tales [S5 v1.07.3c] [UberPie]

Great game. First and foremost, like in most of my reviews, I'll preface this by saying that one of the reasons this game gets a high grade is because the focus is squarely on the NSFW-content - there's no baiting or lengthy, boring lead-up. The writing sets up interesting, somewhat believable kinky scenarios and plays those out. Like any good NSFW-game should.

That said, the writing is decent, the art is great (if not perfect) and the kinks are diverse and excellent.

The reason this only gets four stars is that the game can get a little repetitive and doesn't linger enough on individual scenes. As well, the amount of choice feels very restrictive - there's very little wiggle room with regards to just how much of an asshole you want the MC to be.

That said, this is definitely one of the better games of this site.

Writing: 1/5
Art 3.5/5
Gameplay: 3/5

Writing:
I can't bring myself it enjoy this one. The writing is a struggle to get through. The easiest way to put it, is there is a lot of fluff. Your basically told a situation, and then the writer continues to try and convince you of what they just told you on the situation, then concludes it with something like, "So its suffice to say," and then just repeats the original line of the situation. This happens EVERY single time someone is introduced, or any route unfolds. Its begins to drive you crazy cuz your just reading a bunch of nothing, so you start to skip the text little by little, when you suddenly passed something that's actually important to read in along with all said fluff, and because you can't go back to previous text, your now lost.

So you are left with two choices, either read a bunch of nothing that attempts to convince you its nothing, and catch the few bits you actually need to know, or skip it and be completely lost as to whats going on, cuz nothing else explains it to you.

Art:
It's decent enough. Although there is a lot of repeating body types, so this doesn't really rate higher due to a lack of diversity when it comes to preferences. If you like all girls to have huge boobs and butts, with tiny arms, and shoulders, and they all look like they haven't slept days, then this is your art style.

Gameplay:
It's your average gameplay loop for these sort of games. Nothing really good, or bad about it. In the past the quest log was an atrocity, but its been resolved enough that if you don't care about the text, you can still stumble through the game.

Overall: Its hard to recommend this game, as the writing is incredibly redundant. Characters personalities are overshadowed due to this. When someones introduced, you initially like what your reading, but then it goes on to "convince" you, and you quickly lose interest.

Unless your an insane speed reader, you will have a hard time getting through the story with this one.

It has a lot of potentials. The art is wonderful, painting like 2dcg are best for building dramatic imagination while not too cartoony. Animations are good enough. Surprising, candid, or voyeurism element is the power of the game where we can't find it irl. Yet, it still has some flaws, especially when it played on Windows tablet PC. Text can't move on whatsoever with only touch mode. Seems like it doesn't recognize touch as mouse clicks. Need "Auto" mode reading. Sometimes the resolution changes by itself. Just played it for in-game few days though. Not too comfortable continuing to play on Windows tablet.

Amazing game. Such a nice wank. Loved the gameplay, the art, the story and the babes. UberPie is just amazing in his work. I hope this does not get abandoned. Looking forward to playing more games from UberPie

Love the art of this game, the story and the girls, I think it's a great game. What I didn't like is that some items are hard to find and can ruin your experience.
But it is a game that you enjoy more than once.

Well... This was more dissapointing than what I thought I was going to be. Taffy Tales has the essence of many other games that mixed a VN with a sandbox which normally results in a very interesting game; not this case tho. We will see the MC fight against his own demon in a extremely brutal difference of behaviours battle as the MC is the kinda of boy who will reject something so simple as an invitation of a hot girl to the cinema, while his inner demon has the very weird desire of rape every single woman in his way. There's many mini storylines all around the game and the most of them doesn't bring you to any interesting point. The main plot of the game seems to be the struggling of the MC against his demon, but again, there's no evolution at all and you eventually get tired of watching always the same scene but with different text. The art of the game is not bad at all, I would say is the best part of the game. Every character is very well designed and presented, with their own and unique appearence. The personality of every character in the game are very good and also their roles are somehow unavoidable at one point, which forces you to interact with them, and I actually liked that because any of them seems to be there just to fill an empty place, no.

The principal problem of the game in my opinion is the lack of decisions. Everything what you do is the only choice that you have. Normally you'll have the chance of picking between two options and with the way this game is presented it screams that, but don't happen. You can't control the MC screwing moments with girls as you can't control the MC's demon just being mean with everyone. There's poor rewards after completing storylines that makes you want to quit this game after going from place to place, buying things and waiting days for the shortest scene ever. There's a lot of effort in this game. Is just bad organized, and more than made thinking on giving to the player, is made thinking in giving to the game itself, which at this point I guess the only ones who'll keep playing it will be their true supporters.

-Hard to find certain items

Overall I really enjoyed this game, it has a lot to offer to a variety of tastes especially if you are into harem and dom/sub content. I also greatly enjoyed this girls in this and especially the one subby boy. You should give this one a try for sure!

The amount of girls wear off the corruption part of this.
While the first route is exciting and satisfactory, the other ones and cross events become boring or unsurprising.
What's left is the same formula for everyone: meeting>girl sees dick>slave

Its one of those games where the mc has 2 personalities, 1. a little whinny cuck with no backbone and 2. a complete psychopath no in between so ultimately you degrade and rape pretty much every girl you come in contact with and afterwards they love and lust for you, which personally Im not a fan of. Didnt find the story interesting, walls of text that add nothing to the plot and mc constanly arguing with his alter ego got boring real quick for me. The game is basically a linear VN with some sandbox elements. One thing i did enjoy was the art even if youre not into blown out proportions its pretty good. Oh and ofc mc has a forearm for a schlong.

Not my cup of tea but if youre into heavy dom stuff you might enjoy this.

A complete mess best skipped altogether.

Gameplay: Broken, confusing, ridiculously linear.

You'll have a couple of encounters with a character then nothing happens with them for a month in game while you follow another character. Hints appear for events you can't trigger for a month going forward, time of day jumps around randomly with some conversations that do nothing advancing time and others resetting it to the start of the day. Go to someone's house and you see three different ways to knock on the door two doing nothing one advancing your quest.

Visuals: Some artistic talent here but most characters are drawn with massive resting bitch face and grossly exaggerated bodies. Of course this is subjective I just find the whole "DICKS MUST BE THICK AS ARM TITS HANG DOWN TO HER WAIST" immaturity tiresome and obnoxious.

Writing: Should't have bothered, plot is a mess, too much dialogue that says nothing. Main character is an unlikable ass that wants to run around blackmailing and enslaving everyone and takes up pages and pages of dialogue arguing with himself. No character or event is remotely believable or engaging.

Really wanted to like this game, but grew more and more and more frustated the longer I played.

First of all, it's an incredibly linear game that for some reason is portrayed as a wannabe dating sim, as you have stats, or rather, a stat, and can earn money for various things. It almost all feels like an afterthought that was quickly abandoned after the team decided to instead make a straightforward visual novel instead. Frankly, it's all shallow and really needs to be removed. Wasting days (that have no real penalty) to just play a stupid mingame just to buy another stupid item to move the glacial story a bit further isn't fun.

That's the other problem. The pacing of this game is horrific. and really hurts an already forgettable story that makes it difficult to care about what's going on or other characters. To make matters worse, the game is playing an especially bad take on the alpha wolf trope in a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde format. Your alter ego is a literal pychopath and is incredibly unlikable despite frankly hilarious (and late) attempts to humanize him and make him less of an ass. The irony grows sharper when the writers don't seem to realize that Darnell (the positioned rival and 'bad guy') is basically a mirror clone of the MC's alter ego. While I'm hardly new to the "rape is a form of love and all girls are secretly horny sluts so they like it" trope that makes up most of erotic game scene, it's especially awkward here. Most of the game is you basically raping and gaslighting girls into being sex slaves, which is fine, none of this is real, but I mean, doesn't exactly make for the most interesting visual novel unless that's specifically what you're looking for ala Rance style. Thing is, Rance was hilarious and fun to hate on as a piece of shit, and the surrounding story/characters/content was pretty good. This game doesn't do that. The individual character stories are boring and you really struggle to care about the overarching plot.

Game should have just been generic hentai dude going around throwing gals into his harem and skipped all the attempts at being more than a shallow galley builder, because that's basically what it is.

If you do care about any of the characters, though, well too freaking bad. There are no routes, you can't choose to focus on a specific character, and if you hate others, you're going to still have to sit through their arcs and scenes at random. The game's so incredibly linear that I'm not even sure why it bothers giving you objectives or a typical dating sim day-schedule as all you do is literally (litterally) check stuff off a list one by one.

The arte is good though so game is worth it for the gallery rip. I personally didn't enjoy it too much, but that's my subjective opinion so I'm not going to knock on it; objectively, there's a lot most people will like.

If you're someone who dislikes large boobs like me, however, that's about 99% of the girls. All triple d's or higher, lol. The one 'average' girl who is probably already a big c cup is portrayed as some super small petite in narritive, which literally made me laugh out loud.

Overall, this really isn't a game you should waste your time on. There are major mechanic changes scattered through out as if the game doesn't know what it wants to be, characters come up and then are completely abandoned, and it's all incredibly linear and more drawn out than it needs to be.

This is an amazing little gem I'm glad I stumbled upon. Once I downloaded and started playing the game, I couldn't stop until I reached the end of the current version! Other than the amazing sex cutscenes, I loved the humor and story dialogue even more.

When I first started this game I thought to myself, DAMN that looks bad and weird. Next thing i knew it was 7 am, and i was still playing the game trying to max it out. Very fun gameplay and actually funny dialogue i didn't skip which is rare. Scenes and tags are great. Characters have personality which I love.
Art 4/5
Story 5/5
Gameplay 4.5/5
Fapability (not a fan of huge milkers giant chonkers) 4/5
Originality 5/5

I have to say the writing and art in this game is pretty top notch. As a game there isn't really too much to it, but there is enough to make you feel like your choices matter and that you have agency over what happens so it's on the better end of visual novels. Almost all of the characters are well written and some even surprised me with their interactions. Content is also very well tagged as far as avoiding major turn offs like traps and NTR. Despite what some people say there is no unavoidable NTR in this game where the MC is cucked, only two instances where he cucks others, and in one case it is an ex-husband and in the other the husband is into it and fully consents to the experience.

Great art but otherwise just another boring sandbox game ... go here at the right time ... go there over and over until something happens .... have the same (or similar) conversation that goes nowhere 100 times ... click on highlighted people hoping something happens ... click on locations and props that have no bearing on anything .... 'this area is under construction'.

Played it for a good while but other than a few stills of the leftovers from sex scenes that happened before MC got there, there has been no H-scenes. I can't even tell what genre the game is - corruption? harem? NTR/bully? Femboy? Who knows. All are suggested, but none seem to actually happen.

Taffy Tales is a near masterpiece as a porn game. It belongs to my least favourite style of game (point and click), features absolutely no choices or scene variation, and doesn't have much variety for female body type (most of the women are cow titted). It makes up for this with tons of well written scenes (not vanilla either, pretty kinky) and a gripping plot.

as someone who prefer the more domination type games this is right up my alley

Story is actually really good in fact its the first time i actually care about it in a renpy game

gameplay is your standart fetch quest get scenes with minor minigames nothing to write home about but that isn't the focus

The fetishes are great i mean look at the tags alone and i like it you have some choices and its not just your typical kinetic novel with different paths(I'm on the maledom one so far that's pretty good)

The art is different some might not like it(i dint at first) but it will grow on you especially given the later scenes seem to be in much higher quality then the old scenes

I had to subtract some bugs before but turns out the recent patch fixed most of the games previous issues so right know I'm going to give it a full on 5 stars

10/10

Edit to an old review: The game has only shown signs of decline. Many of the newer reviews cover it. Plot worse. Game becoming needlessly convoluted with now two separate versions instead of...I don't know...players having in-game choices? Like a game? Art is worse, and that was one of the biggest drivers. A classic case of trying to compromise with everyone by offering what no one wanted. None of the complaints I have in my original view were resolved, only worsened. All I can do is drop the score I give it.

Original review:

Okay, let's try and break this down because it's a big one. Consider much of the following to be like a sports fan ranting about the state of the sport. Doesn't matter how much negativity they show, you know they love it. Most of the issues I suspect are a result of the scale of the game and the work that goes into producing it.

First thing is, there's a lot of content right now. Places to go, people to see, dialogue to be had, stuff to buy. There's some minigames. Those minigames are skippable with the Patreon pass if you hate them, and that password is in the OP of the thread.

Next thing is the art work. That's the biggest draw to this game. You can use your own eyes and check out the screenshots. Don't expect particularly realistic proportions, but if you like big asses and big tits then this is probably for you. Personally, I fucking love it.

After that, we'll go dialogue. The script is good if you want a MC who is a total asshole and fairly well onto the rapey side of things. The MC has a split personality, but the good side isn't the one who does the "seducing". In with this I'll say the plot is interesting and keeps you wondering about where it'll go (obviously towards a massive harem, but I mean aside from that). I absolutely love the depravity, the exploitation, and some of the cruelty. It's not the most extreme game, it all stays within the boundaries of Patreon rules, but it certainly pushes it to the limits (by the way, did I mention that renaming Mary fits the dialogue better if you make it a shorter title beginning with an M?).

So why the need to break this game down in a review? Because I think the quality of what I've mentioned so far is very high, but there are some downsides coming and it's tough to balance. The plot, the porn, the art, the corruption, is all so good and the quantity is so impressive that it makes up for a ton. It just can't make up for everything.

Continuity matters! This game suffers from obvious rewrites. Again, not wanting to spoil anything but a character will leave town forever and then be seen in the background having conversations with no mention of the fact they just fled. It's just annoying. And I'm commenting after the latest update which was supposed to fix the many more problems like this in the past. Ugh.

Continuity also matters when you give me a quest that says "Talk to x" and then x appears in four different locations across the map at the same time but only talking to them in a specific one of those locations will satisfy the quest. Have fun guessing which on your first playthrough!



Bugs. There are some real pain in the ass bugs. One major one was supposed to be fixed for sure this time out and yet I managed to get it. I had to rollback an hour to an older save because I'm pretty sure the trigger is an inventory issue in spite of the devs apparently not being able to recreate this very common bug. There are cases of people getting stuck in rooms or buildings during quests. SAVE REGULARLY AND YOU'LL BE FINE BUT SAVE REGULARLY TO AVOID HEARTBREAK.

The issue of writing what people vote to see: people vote for their favourite character and not what actually develops the game in a sensible way. Currently a character has gone missing in the plot, but that character has not returned or really been mentioned because they aren't popular. I don't want janky half-finished stories and quests because that's not conducive to the narrative. Sure, people will be happy if their choice gets a good sex scene but the game suffers by not being driven by any rhyme or reason.

The game is both linear and not linear in an annoying way. I don't mind either, but it feels like another place where the devs flip flopped over what they were going for and ended up with neither. By which I mean, a lot of the time you have exactly one quest, and others you have several, and when there are several they're still sometimes written as though they shouldn't overlap or should be in a certain order for narrative reasons. This is more a minor quibble, it's just irritating now and then.

To get back where I started, I fucking loved this play through. I like the humour, I LOVE the artwork. I could watch these women get corrupted all day long. For any of the complaints I've made, which I think are legitimate criticisms and may bother some players, I will stand by the claim that the quality elsewhere more than compensates for it in terms of enjoyability. They're enough that I can't honestly give it full marks, and they've wound me up a bit, it's just that I can't stay mad at this game. Four stars it has to be and I wish I could give it more.

Token mention to the ever controversial NTR: you can skip it, but you can't skip the threat of it. Without risking spoilers, imagine you walk in on someone about to commit the most egregious crime of NTR but you stop it just in time (or not, but currently there's very little for the "or not" option). If you can't handle that then this game will enrage you a few times. If, on the other hand, you don't want to stop it at all then prepare to be underwhelmed by how little NTR is present.

I absolutely love this game, the quality of it art it by far the best on this platform.

Yet it has many flaws:

- There is still no NTR (even tho it tagged)
- It barely get 1 update per year
- The quests are confusing (Many times the quest will put you to talk with someone without giving you any names or where are they, or find objects without any hints)
- The textures are sometimes messed up as well
- The story is just boring and you will end up playing it only for the gorgeous H-scenes



This game would have been without a doubt a 5/5 if it deliverd on it promises

One of my favourite games of the site. The art style is really good and unique. And also it's made with Unity, which for some reason I really llike.

There is a lot of female asses and anal sex, which I really love. Great game overall, and gets better by the day with new content.
