VN - Ren'Py - It's Just a Game [v0.4.1] [DigiDec]

Usually when you see a full-on 5-star game, it's one or two reviews from friends of the dev or whatever -- but LORD. This is deserving. I join the carousel of praise for a game that checks all the boxes. One of those "count them on one hand" games.

Great story, amazing tech knowledge that actually means something, real-life people (and bots), and a level of quirk that just blows my mind. The familial sexual power subtext is gorgeous. ( The whole virtual game idea of Mom, sis, etc. gaming how to best present to MC, while he spies, is great-- Mom in ABBA gear, waah!) I love it.

Only quibble I have is, as usual, about TASTE. Specifically, BUTTS. The dev is obviously, as most seem to be, a fan of Sir Mixalot. I am NOT. The characters of Qai, Natalie and Zoe are more my preference. But "De gustibus non est disputandum", as they used to say, back when sex was something humans enjoyed like artichokes and gelato.
Nonetheless! Thank you, DigiDec, for sharing your talent. I look so forward to future endeavors!!

wooooh ... pure enthusiasm! The game hits the nerve with me "Hooray the girls don't look like glossy super models". I really like the look of the characters. I'm also pleased that I don't get a toothache when reading the text like I do with some other games written in shitty English.
I don't think the story idea is bad either.
The only thing I would like to see are animations .... but still 5 stars.

It's been a long time since I came across a game with dialog that's actually readable.

This game just gets things right. The only thing it doesn't have is animations. Under normal circumstances I would give it a 4/5. But it's a new game and I have no intention of stopping this 5 star hype train.

It's not every day you encounter a new game that is packed with high-quality content and huge potential.

The dev utilizes the theme of VR/simulation in an innovative way to present a unique and refreshing story. The elements of conflict and mystery are displayed coherently, and every scene and plot progression feels natural and connected. This alone already merits at least four stars for me.

Initially, I had some reservations about this game because the renders from previews were not that "pretty" by Daz 3D standard, but I'm happy I was proven wrong since the lack of "impeccable beauty" actually makes the characters feel, how to say, more "real", which does in some ways echoes the blur of distinction between virtual simulation and real life in this game. Also because of the stellar writing, the characters feel like real people in this world, with their interactions natural and believable. (but I still don't dig the Mom's bimbo renders, that's just kinda over-the-top display of MILF slut. I really hope her future transformation won't be as ugly as that) This is also one of the rare sights in the current pool of AVNs.

The sex scenes, while decent, could be further improved due to the lack of animation, but this is not much of an issue for me since the story is already worth the ticket, still just a heads-up and a minor opinion.

Overall, even though there's still room for improvement, it's one of the best sci-fi AVNs I've played especially in its alpha state. Definitely worth playing.

Great characters and pacing of scenes, perfect balance between porn and story.
The VR/Simulation setting lets you cover a lot of genres and themes and the dev has made good use of that.
The renders for the most part look amazing. There is a high level of attention to detail when it comes to the charcter design.
Might have been frustrating playing wihtout the walkthrough mod as it lets you see the scenes on all branching paths.
Has a decent amount of content so far, took me a good 2+ hours to play.

It's Just a Game [v0.2.1] [DigiDec]


The Good

-the story plot allows for a lot of creative ideas which has been used quite well so far
-different characters in appearance/body type
-very good job done in the threesome scenes playing the mc very dominant without having to feel like a third wheel
- has music that fits the setting

Things that are not bad but could be better

the sexscenes have no animation which is not necessarily bad but they could use a few more renders to better show the buildup from the beginning to the climax

it would also be good to have a few more moneyshots (beginning of the penetration closeup, creampie closeup, pov blowjob face where the LI looks you in the eyes as an example).

all in all a good interesting game that varies a bit in quality in the sex scenes where there are some really good ones and some still have room for improvement but definitely worth playing

[v0.2.1]

As of now, the game has a lot of potential, so five stars is an advance payment...

Writing is pretty good, keeps you engaged and it seems that Digi is a native speaker.

Renders - high quality to me and all characters have something unique about them in terms of appearance.

Sister is my favorite character so far, there is some mystery about this girl... Let's see what happens. It seems like story is developing quite quickly.

Overall, so far an interesting product that can become something extremely great or end up average, but I think that the dev has a right mindset, so I believe in the former.

Really enjoyed the progression, excellent writing and really good renders. The story makes use of some maybe over-used tropes but does not overdo it and has some unexpected twists that are refreshing. Things going on in the story and character relations a cleverly thought through, believable to some extent. The scfi elements in this story are also quite good!

The story is actually interesting. Not often that I spend time to read every word in a ero vn. It is also coherent, with each consecutive scene and plot point making sense. There are a good number of decisions to make, making it feel like you have an actual influence over the story. The character models are really hot, and especially so with their beauty marks and skin imperfections. The dialogue is different with each personality in this diverse cast. The CG is really good, and the sex scenes are very hot. Furthermore, the planned tags look really good, allowing for plenty of degeneracy and kinks in future updates. All in all, a very promising game at the moment, and cannot wait to see how it develops!

Hard to say if this game will end up being good or bad, but I can tell you that right now that it's looking very promising. Good writing, hot scenes, hot girls, this futuristic cyberpunk/VR premise is always interesting. Also, the planned tags look great. Overall, try it out, it's pretty good so far and if it keeps this quality or improves then it will easily be a 5/5.

A very promising game. The setting is intriguing enough, the writing really comes through. The dialogues have just the right amount of seriousness. Good renders all around. The sex scenes might need to step up a little tho. Looking forward to more updates.
