VN - Ren'Py - Cybernetic Seduction [Ep.6 Part 1] [1Thousand]

After Deliverance I had high hopes with CS. Unfortunately the futuristic story already has gaps in it and suspension of disbelief kickstarts from the outset. None of the models are particularly appealing and the MC is a Chad that I cannot associate with even in fiction. He's the unpleasant cocky kind of douche that makes women cringe but apparently scores well in this game. Sorry to say I did not find it as interesting as Deliverance although the writing has improved. Images are still very good but the animations are subpar. Playable but not essential to my collection.

Updated Review for Ep.4 Part 1

I think the premise of infiltrating a crime family as a secret agent and seducing all the women within is pretty good for an AVN. The renders and character models are pretty solid, and the writing isn't super slacked on either. Given choices on how to respond in dialogue is always nice as well.

Here's the problem. The game has you in a simulation. Almost all of the women you romance are essentially AI generated I suppose? They are based on real life counterparts, but exist completely separate in this simulation. Now this is a huge matter of preference, but that alone kind of killed my enthusiasm for playing this. I don't find the concept of romancing simulated women very enticing. Which is pretty ironic since that's what you do in most porn games. But here it's almost like you're playing a porn game within a porn game?

Maybe there's some twist down the line that ends up with you interacting with the real women that all the AI are based on, and even still a couple of the love interests are real, but for now I just find it hard to get invested personally. I should mention I didn't play all available content because of this. One of those cases where I think the game is just not necessarily for me.

To touch on the game itself more, one element that felt missing was tension. Quite frankly, this big crime family boss feels like a chump. I don't find him that interesting or intimidating. Two random lackeys from off the street took him hostage like it was nothing in one of the first scenes we see him in. Bottom line: he doesn't give off a strong impression as a character, and I think it's taking away from the game because of that with how much of the story revolves around him so far.

Again I don't think this is bad, but the simulation aspect is something I'm just not super into. I'm keeping an eye on this for potential plot twists and such, but this is not a game I'm actively playing.

Rating for Episode 1 - 10/10
I think this game is better than its predecessor (i.e. the previous game of the same dev). 1Thousand really overdid himself this time. Be the story, the characters, renders, actions and most of all, the options/choices in game. Also, the GUI/UI is better (from my pov). Great game and a must try.

very good start, already feel like it is going to be much better than the dev's first game, deliverance.
I like the plot although at times it feels confusing sometimes, we will be given more details.
I love nina, mama zhine especially.
goodluck

Excellent first episode. Plenty of playtime and amazing renders. The dialogue feels alive and well thought out as well.

An easy addition to the list of games I'm going to be following the progress of very closely. Here's hoping the updates are fast because I genuinely look forward to the second episode and more.

WOW, this is just the initial release BUT I love it!!
Lots of content, good writing, interesting settings/plot and characters..
Renders are greate as well as the animations.
I suggest to give it a try, and if you like the game leave a review and support 1Thousand!!
I'm alread waiting for the nex release.

Good Luck

Easily the best sci-fi VN I've come across. It's cool that it's the same dev who made Deliverance. Although it's just the first episode, the characters and the story are already very intriguing and I'm sure that the rest of the VN will be epic.
