VN - Ren'Py - Raptus [Ep.10 P3 v1.0] [RedStarStudios]

This game is a true niche. Appeals to some deep, dark fetishes and it does it relatively well.

I believe most of the 1 star reviews are because of the controversial themes.

If the tags pick your interest, you should try it.

Imagine making a poorly made game that explores sensitive and controversial topics in a disrespectful way, without common sense and without any scruples. The answer is in this game.

STORY 2/5:
The story tells the journey of a murderer (MC) who killed his own father and then killed and raped 3 more girls. He is released from the psychiatric hospital after being imprisoned for 7 years for these crimes. The story seems to be consistent, but quickly becomes something bizarre. The psychiatrist suddenly offers herself to the protagonist as a cheap prostitute and tells him to kill a girl. After this scene, the rest of the game is basically the protagonist manipulating and abusing his stepmother and other people along with his roommate Abby in an uninteresting story, full of unexciting conversations, where you will probably skip all the conversations.

GAMEPLAY 1/5:
The gameplay is non-existent, there is no open world, it is a linear game, and it is an uncomfortable experience, because the protagonist kills, rapes and abuses all the women in the most varied ways.

PROTAGONIST 0/5:
The protagonist is already extremely despicable and disgusting, he is a psychopath, manipulator, rapist and necrophiliac with disgusting fetishes, and on top of that, he has no depth. Having a protagonist like that only enhances the player's discomfort.

CHARACTERS 2/5:
Only the stepmother and Abby have some depth, the rest are just victims in the hands of the protagonist.

SEX SCENES 1/5:
The sex scenes are poorly done and, on top of that, not pleasant to watch. All of them are basically the protagonist raping a woman.

ART AND DETAILS 2/5:
The game is completely raw, with standard models, standard scenarios, and no attention to detail.

MUSIC 0/5:
There is no music, not even a single sound effect.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Absolutely not.
Even if you enjoy a heavier, hardcore experience involving rape and necrophilia, the game is poorly made, uninteresting, and lacks depth.

Boring game with terrible, terrible writing, bad renders and even more awful sex scenes. Models look like garbage (some of them literally), characters are one-dimensional and there is nothing in here that would justify recommendation to anyone. On the contrary, this game is just a waste of time.

If rape is your fetish I'm sure there are better games out there because I can't think of a worse one than this.

[Ep.10 P2 v1.0 review]

I was really hesitant to play this game because all this rapey stuff is not my cup of tea, but the lack of updates for my fav games forced me to try something new, so here I am.
First of all, this game is very dark indeed, and if you can't stand questionable content, close this page right now. Fortunately, the most revolting scenes are hidden behind explicit choices, and I'm willing to use the skip button from time to time anyway. And the less revolting scenes are hot as fuck. The sister is basically one of the sexiest (and fucked up) characters I've seen in a porn game, and the scenes where she dominates some poor woman, especially mother, never cease to make my cock rock hard. And, as a cherry on the top of this cake, there is a new trap character, which will hopefully have some scorching hot scenes soon.
So, despite this game being darker than I usually like, I rate it 5/5. It really brightened up the last weekend at my gooncave.

Thank you, I finished it in a single playthrough and it was beautiful. Can't wait for the updates! I'd really appreciate more character model and render quality but still amazing as it is. Feet content is amazing and I would love to have more <3

This is the most romantic and heartwarming AVN I've played so far. You start by dating some charming girls and... the MC is everything that a Nice Guy MusT be.... “We are what we are because we have been what we have been, and what is needed for solving the problems of human life and motives is not moral estimates but more knowledge.” –Sigmund Freud

Rape simulator, the story of this game is just a pretext to rape and kill anyone, the guy breaks into anyone's house, he kills with disconcerting ease. If I understand the story correctly he started raping/killing when he was 14, he was released in a town where there were no police anymore, he said he loved his mother and was saved from a raping father to do the same thing as father in the end.
The renderings are average, the shortest sex scenes I have ever seen, 0 music, sound or any noise.

Story 1/10
Animations 1/10 (no animation it's the same)
Characters 3/10 (3pts just for abby)
Renders 2/10
Music 0/10 (no music, no sound)
Enjoyability 1/10 (just because it's playable)

This game is becoming increasingly twisted yet I can't seem to stop playing it! The main character alone a brutal and ruthless beast, could easily outshine thousands of sweet harem games out there so it's truly unimaginable how captivating it is. The animations and renders are well done, the girls are uniquely alluring and distinct, making them hard to confuse with one another. There's a vast amount of content that keeps boredom at bay. Not gonna lie but if you have even a hint of S tendencies, you should give it a try at least once.

This game is crazy and really good, with great graphics, characters, animations and everything. It has been an interesting experience with various fetishes and taboos.

can't wait to see more updates and/or similar games soon

I loved it. please turn the mom to his sister, but a lot more submissive. and the most important, DO pregnancy! specially for mom. please??!! (Don't beg! it just make me harder?). i want pregnancy.
and i hate new age multi ending. because no matter what you do, you will never get the full or even best of the story. why? what is the point of having all that shit when nobody is going to see it? who plays a game more than once? 99% don't. but character choosing is important. i may not what some whore and may want some better.

Some reviewers speak about the story, but there is none. There is a strange and incoherent mishmash of events, accompanied by the unexplainable changes in characters' personalities. It wouldn't be such a problem if this game didn't take itself too seriously.

Given that the only redeeming feature of such trash is the kinks, I have to say a few words about them.

The rape fantasy is of resentful variety. By this I mean that the MC is a weak man who can't control himself. As you probably know, this is only one of possible ways of doing such type of content. Incelism comes in many forms. If you prefer an alpha-male fantasy, try [I deleted the name, because F95's rules oppose promoting in reviews, but this is a game about khan, you'll find it if you want it], which is also superior in any way I can think of.

The interesting thing about rapey stuff here is the amount of sadistic female allies. Right now there are two such characters. Both of them are quite prominent.

That's it. I'm not willing to write a psychoanalytical essay, but it is worth noting that a story of a weak and resentful father-hating man who finally gets women to tell him that raping others is okay is quite clinical. Maybe you can discover something about yourself indulging in such fantasies, although surely it's better to visit a therapist if you're interested in what kind of fucked up stuff gets you going and why is it so.

Download the game out of pure curiosity... I can say that it is one of the games that has hooked and surprised me the most. It's even made me think about my morality! Highly recommended, thanks for making games that are not just pressing the space key!

It felt repetitive. Countless scenes that felt like you already seen them before. It doesn't feel like the story has an actual plot. It's just feels like a rape simulator. For some reason they clogged the story up making you click on choices that only gave you one option instead of just writing that option into the story. Speaking of choices for some reason they decided to take out the auto read function and forced you to click through gigs of pictures for no reason and yet they left in the skip function. I click on a mouse all day everyday at work and I refuse to do it when reading a VN that was built on an engine that had a built in function to allow you to set your reading speed and just read and click on dialogue choices when they come up. It's mind boggling to me when devs take that function out. I found myself using the skip function quite a few times since that was my only choice besides constant clicking. The premise had potential but the execution is poor.

In this game, we play as a serial rapist and killer who has just been released from a mental hospital and hears voices and has another identity in his mind. It's so clear that the game comes from a really twisted mind, it goes beyond just fantasy and breaks barriers. Of course, there are some logical inconsistencies, like being able to rape a girl outside and then just go home, but somehow, even though you leave evidence and are seen dragging her without a mask, the police can't find you (CCTV? nah, fingerprints?). If you can overlook these plot holes, you even have a psychologist girlfriend as a serial rapist killer, which I found to be a fascinating and natural character development. Each character has their own personality and psychological depth. However, every time I saw Martha, I felt sad, yet I know that the right path involves being harsh; there's no room for weakness. Aside from that, the story really becomes intriguing after a certain point but then it just ends and says to be continued, though it hasn't been updated for a long time. The adult content is more than sufficient, truly on an excellent level. I would definitely recommend this game for its story, as a dark game, and for various other reasons. Two things to note: there are texts writes 'Raptus' where the game means to force rape, it's a button you can press (it took me half the game to realize this, that's why I mention it), and this game is the fucked-up version in the realm of fucked-up games (I found it through special research), so make sure you're not going through a sensitive period in your life or have any serious trauma PTSD related with any plot of the game before playing.

The premise is good, the potential is there, the execution is severely lacking...

The gripes:
- there are no choices. sometimes there is a button that has a pre-game over scene attached, better save before hitting that
- the visuals would be okay-ish... in 2017...
- no animations. and when animations start appearing, they'd better not...
- sever case of ESL... a simple spellcheck in any of the myriad office-programs available would help. a lot...
- the characters are bland. the two attractive characters I'd like to explore more (therapist and sisterroommate) are off-limits except for some light foreplay (both have game over buttons tho)
- plot is non-existant after the "quest" the therapist gives MC
- the inner voice/demon could be fun, but it's mostly "you're weird" "no, you're weird" "yeah, you right".

since the genre is kinda starved for content, eh, give it a go...
expect mostly senseless violence and bad sex, but not much else and don't get too attached, dev seems to have a habit of dropping projects for no apparent reason

It started well. However, after the main character was released from the mental hospital and returned home, the pace slowed down very badly. After a lot of unnecessary dialogues, you realize that the main character is suffering from gollum syndrome. The voice in his head, his alter ego, starts to intervene in the main character's actions, which means more unnecessary dialog that you just have to skip in the gameplay. The renders look good but the animations are very bad. They're just a few frames repeating over and over again. The idea is actually very good but the execution is not what I expected. I don't feel like I'm playing an evil character with mental problems who has committed a lot of crimes. The game also is very silent. I heard a bit of music in the main menu and after that the game was so quiet that I felt like I was deaf. It shouldn't be so hard to add one or two copyright free music.

Excellent! but not because witcher3 quality or story.. but i like it!

Story is okay could be boring.. but is not )

Gameplay is VN with violence sex manipulation and Necrophilia "just a game"

*this review base on my opinion. if you don't agree can go fly a kite.

I thought it had more potential but it just fails in to many areas.

Girls lack alot in personalities so they become dumb and boring, the writting dosent help much either, MC isent much better either.

Fetishes and girls are forced on you, so you better be into anything and everything from young to granny, small tits to big tits, tin and fat girls, anal to fisting, since you have absolutly 0 controle over anything.

Which lead to the lack of choices they are rare and barely mean fuck all, well some leads to game-over which is idotic on its own, like rape your "sister" oh no thats not allowed, rape your mother sure thats just fine?
MC is supposed to be some kind of crazy rapist but you arent really allowed to play him as such, you just follow along on a kinetic story line which makes it even more pointless.

For the girls i really dident like them much, theres maybe one max 2 i would even consider good looking but the rest dosent come anywhere close to that, you would think MC being a rapist would pick good looking girls? but nope.

As for animations well about half is picture to picture so not animations, the other half that are animated arent that good either.

Theres no music either so theres nothing that will sets the mood which also adds to the boring feeling.

Rating for the VN game Raptus

**Graphics: 4/5 stars**
The graphics in Raptus are impressive and add to the dark and dystopian atmosphere of the game. The visuals are detailed and colorful, which adds to the overall immersion.

**Animations: 4/5 stars**
The animations in Raptus are fluid and well executed. They add to the overall atmosphere of the game and enhance the gaming experience. The character movements are realistic and the transitions between scenes are seamless.

**Plot Twist: 5/5 stars**
Raptus outdoes itself when it comes to plot. The story is refreshing, dark, dystopian and suspenseful. The unexpected twists and turns and the psychosis aspect of the main protagonist create tremendous tension and make the game really exciting to play.

**Overall rating:**
I find the story of Raptus refreshing and exciting. The dark and dystopian atmosphere, coupled with the compelling storyline and well executed animations, makes this game a must-play for any visual novel fan. I'm really looking forward to playing more of this game and highly recommend it.
