VN - Ren'Py - Healslut [v0.99d] [Davie Zwei]

Bravo!

Amazingly well written.

Character development is through the roof, especially for Lel, Twig, and Harmony: the first two's backstories hit like Mack trucks, and Harmony's concept is incredibly unique and well developed.

MMO genre awareness is very well expressed up to including Leigh apparently ragequitting because the shiny-new HS class was OP compared to him (LOL), and then him getting petty-happy when it was nerfed through the floor after "playtesting".

Branching possibilities are very well implemented for the most part: you can go so many different ways and yet the story does still progress more or less on track (it must be a real pain to maintain).

The art is top notch, too. I also appreciated that you could menu-switch your appearance (at least later on), the font, etc.

Only two quibbles I have are:

Sometimes the branching stories don't always follow properly, in that I had at least one case where another branch produced a result that wasn't in my chosen path (nvr saw Wendycat husk but had dialogue referencing it). Rare issue, tho. Same w/toadstool: if d/n get it, still got trade offer for vial.

IMO, HS casting should be waaaay more hands-on and "colorful", not generic casting, from the get-go, despite her not being able to RTFM (literal F in RTFM), and the consequences should not be totally manageable, even w/practice: they should leave her more incapacitated and "eager" with her passive aura effect on others consistently causing additional issues, so she should really be getting in more trouble, especially in combat, despite Kaydan holding her back, but she effectively gets a pretty good grip on managing it almost immediately, so less and less a drawback, than just an animation choice, if she even gets affected after first chapters. IIRC, a dev she spoke with confirmed it should not be standard casting, as HS was built around getting physical. Ofc, what's planned and what actually gets implemented are oft very different things, and it's not beyond possibility that her situation could just be that the code didn't implement right, since it wasn't really intended seriously from the beginning.

Anyway, GREAT game! Thank you! Looking fwd to further updates.

Great writing, engaging story, nice renders, choices that matter, humor is not cringe(mostly), characters with distinct personalities, you can be a boy/girl/dickgirl(more transformations along the story!) wich is great(affects scenes).
I would give this game 4.5 if i could, there is only 2 things i dislike about it.
Every fuckin character rambles nonstop, any time you talk with someone they say stuff that you can say in 5 words instead they use like 25, its cool if 1 or 2 characters do that, i see that author uses it for humor(and its mostly works) but sometimes its just too much bro, i would never believe that every character would talk like that all the time, that just exausting.
Another problem is everyone constantly gaslights you, not allow you to finish your sentence or misinterpret you, make you look dumb, manipulate your words and stuff like that, the only time that does not happen is when you do some romantic stuff with your LI or something, its so annoying, again some of it is for humor sake and it works, but its too much.
I played the game twice(non looter girl + Roopah romance and the second playtrough was EXTRA spicy), gaslightning when you are on "freeuse" route is fitting, everyone treats you like you are stupid bimbo, every word is used against you and that makes sense and kinda fun since you are "volonteered" for it.
But if you go normal playtrough its just annoying, the only character that never gaslights you or makes fun of you for no reason is Harmony(best girl?).
If you dont care about this 2 points, this game is perfect 5 imo, i had alot of fun playing it and i loved most of the characters, one of those games that still fun without any porn in it, i wish author good luck in all their future work!

Absolutely brilliant.

From funny, thrilling, dramatic, emotional, the wide range of feelings are perfectly imbricated making them never artificial.

The numerous important choices in the game, changing drastically the tone of a scene or the development of the characters, give the game a lot of replayability.

The plot develop in an unexpected way judging by what it seems in the first hours. There are also a lot of themes treated with intelligence and subtlety. The extremely well written characters compliment also the scenario and the themes. Even the most cliché of them reveal to be more than that with some interesting variation, subplot and backstories. The dialogues are also very well done, some of them being hilarious or very touching.

I also love that the game don't push you artificially to the submissive slut type of character that this genre usually does.

And on top of it, it has probably one of the most hilarious sex scene I ever saw. Sir Wejit never disappoint.

Came for the porn, stayed for the... everything else. This is one of those games that I feel like I could play forever and wish it would never end, it's so good.

One complaint some people seem to have is the the infrequent amount of sex scenes compared to the rest of the content but the story is such a fun ride I don't care one bit. Can't please everyone right?

Surprisingly good transformation game

At points funny, you make decisions that actually change things in the story and the story itself is quite interesting

Though its quite short, and there aren't too many actual sex scenes (in a single playthrough you get less than 10, but there are more than that if you play multiple times.) it is still quite fun to play through.

Also its basically a fem protag game, the transformation aspect of male to female isnt really talked about everyone just acts like you are a woman and its not really mentioned that you used to be a dude.

But yeah its a femprotag game, not a lot of sex scenes and its quite short but still recommended.

I'm fully aware this is a porn game or a pornographic comedy game, but I have to say some of the romantic moments and lines really warm my heart. Harmony going all poetic, Roopah showing a soft and vulnerable part of herself, there are many situations and paths I could pick to make my point.

the games and graphics are good but do something about sex change of protagonist. there is a tag of trans female and male protagonists right. and there are many bugs to play the game. I hope you would put a bugfix update soon can't wait to play the game from start without intereptions and most of all with different protagonists.

Review for 0.69d

I really like the idea behind this game, but sadly I found myself getting bored quite early into my playthrough.

The main issue I have is that there is a ton of dialogue and story. It feels very drawn out and like i could skip half of it without missing anything important. There is some entertaining stuff in the dialogue, just not enough to justify reading through all of it.

A lot of the story and characters also just didn't grip my attention. I liked some interactions and dialogue, but the characters behind it mostly weren't interesting enough to get me to care about the story.

The sex scenes also lacked a bit imo. It looks fine, but it's nothing special. The descriptions didn't really do anything for me.

All in all, I like the concept and certain aspects of the gameplay, but I feel like this would need to be redone almost completely to be a truely good game. Someone with more patience might be able to enjoy it, but I don't think it's worth the time. 3/5

I'm writing this review in response to some of the comments I've seen going around complaining about the toxic relationships, about how they call Sparkle a slut and such. Dear author, don't listen to these people; you are doing something unique or at the very least rare with this. If you change it, your game will be no different from all the other cliche lovey-dovey garbage out there

The game is big, or long, and the story is interesting but it has 3 big BUTS:
First the sex scenes don't make up for the amount of story without nothing going on that you need to follow.

Secod the renders quality and image quality is blurry or low resolution and sex scenes don't have much detail, its like 2 renders most of them.

Thirs are the choices, after 8 acts, it was pretty much impossible to keep track of the options I had picked, there are too many, and too many characters, it became even painfull with a walkthrough.

After Act 8 I just skipped to see if there were improvements but there really weren't, and the FIRST prblem of the lacking sex scenes became more apparent. They really can't carry the game.

If you are really into this fantasy/VR story and whatever sex is going on works for you, the wou will perceive this game as 4 or 5.
If you really need the sex scenes to have something more, this game is poor, for a porn game.

If this was a very good and well written fantasy story with lewds on the side, it would be better in my opinion, but its not that good or that well written, so it needs good sex.
And thats it pretty much

Version: v0.69d

havent quite played a game with this amount of variety of choice in the path you take, genuinely enjoyed this games ability to make large and drastic choices that heavily changes the story the further you go.
Art and sexual aspect of this game are also very well refined, i have nothing more to add to that.
The story itself is fun, even if i found it a little silly.

Good game, give it a try.

Great game with a hugh amount of choices and paths to shape your character and his/her future.

Great sense of humour and a captivating story with a hugh amount of interesting characters.

Easily worth a try !

Great potential but brought down by a lack of pacing between sex scenes. Which is a shame because the non sex bits are actually good fun - just unfortunately there's a little too much of it. Also, while I don't mind the niche sex aspects of the game, I do find it annoying that there is so little cis action in the game.

To be quite honest, I consider this one of the best adult VNs currently. Simply for the fact that the storytelling is both hilarious and complex, animations and renders are top notch, every character is very deep with secrets to uncover and the overall story leaves so much room for development. I could see this being a series with multiple seasons and slow world building. That probably won't happen, but the potential is there.What I appreciate is that sex is more like part of the lore of the world and not self-serving. When it happens it oftentimes drives the story forward, is connected to emotions or explores character traits. For instance, what begins as a simply corruption route can delve into serious topics like bullying and racism. And it makes you actually reconsider choices and chose a different path. That kind of self-reflexion within the tropes of a game is something that I very much appreciate.

What a fun game! Lots of branching choices that drastically alter the already intriguing story. After the two playthroughs of the current content (0.6.9d) I still haven't met all the characters being mentioned in this thread.

Because good reviews were the reason I checked it out, I'll have to do my part and give 5 stars. It is that much fun, and besides minor technical issues I cannot think of any major complaints. So original and fun concept!

Excellent game, with a lot of diferent options and paths. It has also an original and well written plot, with well constructed secondary characters and, as many others had noted, with very fun lines. The art is over the top. And the sex scenes offer a lot of variety and kinks

Reviewed version: 0.69d

This game puts an autistic recluse (boy or girl, your choice) into a MMORPG, forcing him/her into an girl's body and an pre-alpha class named Healslut.

Your choices are mostly of the eyes wide open variety and can greatly affect your character. You can play as a (nearly) chaste girl--who later is forcibly transformed into a different girl, a sissy or a trap--or a full blown Healslut. I won't give it away. Gameplay is standard renpy fare, with a few logic puzzles and one fishing game.

The models are gorgeous but animation is nearly nonexistent. With that said, the still images combined with the dialogue make for some extremely steamy scenes. My only knock is that I wish there were a few more stills.

I'll be honest; parts of the game were disturbing--and hawt. It's the kind of thing that makes you question your life choices right before your dad walks into your room and asks, "Are you winning, son?"

When that happens, slowly turn to face him, and with the most solemn expression you can muster, look into his eyes and reply, "Yarp."

Five fucking stars.

Promising game in my opinion : nice arts, fun story, good sense of humor.
The gender change feature is by choice, although it may be seens as limited at the very beginning of the game. So i think even people who don't like gender change can enjoy the game after some point.
I just hope it will be finished one day : please give love to those who love to heal

Suprisingly fun, found myself play the game more than once and made me more open to trying a transformation game in the future. I look forward to seeing future updates.
also the 200 character minumum is annoying for rating messages

At first glance I thought this would be another crappy get-raped, lewd-combat porno game, but it is anything but. This game is a real gem, with great characters and an interesting story.

Overall 4.5/5.

Writing: 5/5 - well written and pretty funny at times
Story: 5/5 - story is interesting and unique, there also seem to be a lot of different choices and routes, which is always nice.
Characters: 5/5 - love the characters. very well done.
Renders: 5/5 - some good eye candy here. wish for higher res though? 4k vers?
Sex scenes: 3/5 - the renders aren't bad, but no animations? this was the only let down for me. other than that the sex scenes felt kinda sparse, but i didn't find myself minding much as the rest of the game was carrying.
