VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Foster Home for Fantasy Girls [v0.3.8_10 Octopus Part 2] [CardinalRed & Tired Txxus]

The first thing I can say about this game is that it looks absolutely promising! I don't regret downloading it. It started just because the pixel art caught my attention. Good pixel art games on this site are a rare sight and making the art on them stand out is a difficult task but it gives a really nice touch that makes characters feel so unique and personal.

And that is what struck me first, how much I started liking not only the elf but to understand what the MC was feeling. Even if it felt a bit harsh it is completely well put into its own setting.

The plot is still really new and developing, also the game has little to no content yet but what it does have is animated and well done, even if kind of rudimentary I can't bring myself to give it a low score because it really shows it is going to a be a great game. I encourage you to try it out, save it and support it. I am absolutely sure I'll have to edit this review later on when more content is out because I am already liking what I see a lot.

TL;DR: good game with nice and unique art, it has little content still but it is worth the try and absolutely worth saving it for future updates to come.

A really promising game with art, good story and characters to back it up, the MC show some backbone which is a welcome change, and you can see him how he can (if you choose) grow with the heroines. The progress is straightforward and the animations and pixel art are on point. Really looking forward for what it will bring in the future.

what i see is a game im totally in love with already after an hour playing....if ud like a cute elf and a silly goblin girl (possibly a mini orc...not to sure yet) and u like the idea of the pc trying to ...almost like hes learning not to hate his enemies ...like hes trying to learn empathy or emotion thru having and interacting with slaves of what he once was made to fight..monster people! how u treat the girls is pretty much up to you ...all together this game is great in my opinion and i really hope it only grows in popularity

Right now (0.3.1 Public) features only a few hours of gameplay (at least that is the time I spent on it) and even if the main concept is not my cup of tea (training) the game is already a well-built and solid proof of what this project can easily become after some time.

I think that the stronger point is the cast, that right now only consists of two girls and some support characters (apart from the protagonist), but what its lacks in quantity it exceeds in quality, even if I don’t think that the characters are any particularly attractive or “sexy”, however, they are very charismatic and lovable, the first one, the elf, being very adorable and likable, while the second, the orc/goblin being extremely funny and charismatic, the game genuinely incentives you to keep looking for more content of the two by itself simply because it is way too interesting to read their dialogue lines that you can easily forget that you are playing an eroge sometimes.

The other strong point of the game is the visuals, the fancy hand-made pixel art is pretty appealing to the eyes, giving some nice 1990s point and click vibes, apart from the art type itself, the artistic choices such as character designs and such are also appealing, the only negative aspect when it comes to visuals is the lack of detail in some scenarios, what is understandable, given the early stage of development.

You can expect a pretty standard VN/Trainer gameplay with some funny and appealing dialogue, in general, it is a great game that deserves much more attention than it is getting.

10/10, would headpat Fey all day.
Really well written characters, even the MC isn't just some blank slate for the player, and it's a great twist that he is training himself just as much as he is training the girls. I am excited to see some more world building, as the setting is very interesting,.

One thing I really want though, is let us get the damn piggy for Fey, was kinda sad when that wasn't an option the next time we see the slave dealer.

The art is very good - the expressions are spot-on - and though in an early stage, the story is also engaging. The dev is responsive and clearly puts a lot of effort in the game. Has headpats. Shows great promise!

it is quite Detail for a pixel art game. Far from finished you still won't regret what you have available. if you decide to give it a try Which I hope you do. If you like to bang Monster Girls and build a harem This is the game for you.

The story is a real gem among trainer games. The slaves are adorable, the worldbuilding is really consistent and well thought out. It is an interesting twist for the master to be training himself in addition to training the slaves. (he is trying to train himself to overcome his indoctrination)

TLDR spoilers:

Great (animated) pixel art. Good writing and actual world-building with a sort of Shadowrun post Awakening vibe. Plus a good balance between content and dialogue/time spent so far. Obviously inspired by Teaching Feeling which is a good thing since that game is great, I'm surprised more games haven't taken after it.

Only real downside is that there are only a few hours of content so far but it's already one of the most promising new games on the site for sure. This is a must watch.

This is a game made in RenPy, however, even the fonts used throughout the game are made in pixel art. A lot of work is spent in making this game seem like it doesn't run on that game engine and thats pretty cool in my opinion.
I really like the pixel art and the animations made for the characters, and the story isn't too overbearing.
Unlike some other games you get some clear idea about the characters from just a few lines of dialogue. You dont have to read an entire book before you get into the "meat and potatoes".
There are 2 downsides in my opinion, the first being that there isn't that much content at the moment, but I personally expect that this type of stuff is slow to make, especially if you want any sort of quality content.
The other downside is that this game could really benefit from a walkthrough/hint system being implemented in the game. Im not really sure that I saw all the content in the game.
Im looking forward to seeing more updates

I have something to say about the game.

Pixel art is great.

Premise is very creative in my opinion and the main character has an actual character and room for character development, same could be said for the first girl.

The scenes contain amusing interaction between characters.

The problem is that all the game has is what is mentioned above, and the majority of content is NEI.

All in all I will wait and see what this game will become in the future as it is one of the most promising games on this site right now

Here are two bugs I've found

1. Second Self exposure doesn't have some file (maybe I've screwed up)
2. If you use Ctrl way too much text stays on the screen

I couldn't to play the game for long because I'm busy with university, but what I saw looks great. The animations aren't many but they are good. The story is interesting and the characters feel alive and not like your average cliche characters from a lot of other games. There are grammar mistakes, but they don't affect the flow of the game and it's understandable considering the dev is hispanic. Lots of potential.

I'm a big fan of trainer/simulator games. I like the premise of this one, while still in early development the elf is just too cute can't wait for more content. I do hope there are more interactive moments in the future. I am in love with the art style as it gives off a 90's pc style that is charming to look at and enjoy

A simple, focused, and well-executed trainer game. It's early in development, but focusing on all the things it needs to so it's worth your time right now as well as worth following into the future.

What makes this good? A combination of good art/animation, an interesting plot setup, good pacing of a developing relationship, and good pacing in the simple mechanics. Yes, I have quibbles with the UI, and there could be more variety in things to do beyond speaking with the elf in her room, but these are either minor issues or things that I'm glad the dev hasn't focused on yet.

It might be premature to rate this so highly (version 0.2) but what I see now has me confident that this game will continue to deliver in the future.

Review for v0.1

Not a lot to say other than unique, this game doesn't have much to offer just yet, but for alpha this looks promising
The art is unique and pleasing to the eyes, the font was... something, i was surprised but it compliment the art

This game is a slave trainer like many other slave trainer
Cute slave, cute interaction, no nude just yet, tho her butt is *chef kiss* dang
The closest game to this is Teaching feelings

version 0.1 so far there isnt a whole lot of things to do and there are multiple locked locations. i personally like the pixilated look and the elf girl seems like a decently thought out character (at least so far) i personally enjoy the story so far so far i think this is really good and im looking forward to when this updates

For a 0.1 Review the game is good.
Art-wise quality is consitent as is animations. Feel quality as well.
More important is character development, which is rather good so far. You have addressed much of what the MC is like so far & have shown his mentality & mindset through much of the dialogue shown without having to do much to directly state it.
For the girl, your showing a pretty accurate depiction of what someone in her position could feel.
The obvious negatives is that its a 0.1 game, just about everything is blocked except core-gameplay. Does this change my review? No.
Overall whats more important is that your very consistent throughout this game.

ver0.1
honestly love the game and concept its a little bare for now but looking forward to this game growing.
if your on the fence about this game give it a chance read the story that the Dev has put out and enjoy the process of this games growth.

only gave a 3 for now to show its not perfect nor bad its in the middle and can only grow into a great game ill continue to review it as it grows as well and ive my thoughts

Edit for 0.2
the quality in the animations have gotten better from what i can tell and fey is becomming much more then she started out! really starting to love this game. im possitive this will be a grreat game down the road so ill sing its praises from here. very looking forward to the future of this game
