VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Game of Hearts [Ch.5 R2] [SparkHG]

This game is great! Gorgeous renders, good lighting and posing, and the sex scenes are scripted beautifully. The premise is incredibly interesting, and written very well. Pretty much every facet of this game is top notch and is worth your time!

Just finished playing chapter 3 R1, and I must say it's very interesting also clean renders, stunning models with diverse body shape and personality, different scene sequence, also simple yet immersive dialogues are all enjoyable.
The plot itself is not "unique" , as this VN reminds me of another similar project that I liked playing [ Chains of Pleasure ], to be specific. However, implementation is different with added lore of mysterious power struggle among demon siblings and between demons and angels for gaining devoted followers. I hope to see more occult, magic and supernatural powers in the future.

As for the game mechanics, UI is easy to operate with standard renpy packaging. The custom menu page is nothing fancy as such. Even the metric system to measure players score during gameplay, is user friendly and easy to figure out (I'm using joker's mod).

At first I was surprised to see a huge scar on MC, but later realised it'll be revealed in the backstory someday when we meet his mom.
This was a nice teaser, that adds depth to character development prospect. As mentioned before, all female models are pretty and different, great effort was put into their design and posing including their behavior, personality (insecurities). I like such detailed character arcs and would love to see them grow individually, if possible. A cheating wife, A shared wife, An old acquaintance and an assailant serving demon. I'm intrigued. Keep giving us more and keep up the quality work. Thank you for update.

Chapter 3 R1

On the surface this game seems similar to others, corruption, girl immediately falls for the guy, sex happens very quickly.

But the story itself is a much slower one, and slowly explores the smaller details of how corruption happens, making it a lot more believable even when ignoring the supernatural influence. The girl doesn't immediately turn into a sex-crazed thot hungry for cock, instead doubts still linger and she still tries to remain the person she was, and the MC has to actively work on the corruption.

Choices do matter, sometimes immediately during a scene. It makes me wonder how far this can be pushed, for example how many orgasms have been written into a single scene. This makes the scenes a lot more organic than sex scenes in most games where it's just "do you want to watch this or that" premade scenes.

However, we shouldn't pretend that the game is not linear, you are forced into every relationship with no way to get out of them.

It will be interesting to see if and how the roster of characters will expand. The story is very focused on one single girl. What will happen when her corruption is finished? Will she disappear completely, will she still feature, will she be involved in threesomes or something? And how long will we have to wait for the war story to come into focus? Will it just be in the background with the main story at a much more personal level? I hope this has all been planned because otherwise this story will quickly become a mess.

Seeing how overrated this game appears to be, gonna put this as a small warning here.

If you are looking for AVN with different paths and multiple choices/girls, look elsewhere. this project has nothing of that kind. This is yet another teenage-kid power fantasy, where every chick is "soo damn hot" and "no player would refuse to have sex with any chick ever". Furthermore, the whole point of playing it is to "gather chicks/followers", aka to build a harem-empire of a true God. Even with such premise, it wouldnt be that bad if the player (aka MC) would have any input/choice in harem building matters..Yet, there is none of it. The writer/dev knows the best, so here is that,

Truth to be told it does have better visuals and somewhat more "unique" story than most of similar games. It is a bit above typical full-enforced-harem, so if you are here for it, you will enjoy this project. Otherwise, skip it, or use as a quick fap material if you find some scene/chick to your liking.

Two stars, mostly for its above average art.

Honestly, the only bad thing about this VN is that it has to end. It's just high quality production. Keep up the good work!

P.S. Well, just one thing, but It's just a preference. The two MILF characters just outshine too much Julia.

Chapter_3BETA

This visual novel stands out with its deeply immersive story, lifelike graphics, atmospheric lighting, and gameplay choices that seamlessly integrate and enhance the narrative. Kudos to the developers for this masterpiece. It undoubtedly earns a resounding 5/5!

The best surprise i got this year here on F95. Renders are simply beautiful, fluid animations with even some really nice music for all the game. The writing part is handled very well, never cringe at all. There are a lot of small details on the renders, and the characters description is so well made that make you care for them, and leave the feeling you want to know more. For sure there is a lot of work and passion behind this game.
Excellent.

This game have one of the best sex scene AVN ever made
the choice is matter and affect the women sexual status
this is something I want to be applied to every AVN

Render are beautiful and animation are awesome
** I hope nipple texture could be better though

** For Chapter 3 update
I really love Julia I really hope she does not intimate or any sexual past with mc dad that would betray my feeling and put me in to depression
I'm not a fan of ntr or sharing but I'm okay if it avoidable

Can 't wait to have more and more and more of this awesome works!!

Review as of [Ch.2 R1]:

So far an amazing work, beautiful visuals and a very interesting take. The story and 'score' concept are fantastic, and Meredith's personality is very well written.
We'll see where it goes, hopefully we'll see updates soon

This game is amazing! The theme is not that unique but how the dev told the story is the main different, for me this game is a must play.
Pro:
- Kinda early to say but the story is very interesting
- Character models and render are amazing
- I love this kind of choice this game is aiming for, very promising
Con:
- Not really a con but I hope when the story more expanse, we will see more type of character join in (I live MILF but hopefully more type of character on the future update)

This games animations are awesome (the quality is apparent from jump) and I really like the skills/sex system that keeps you engaged in the scenes. Plus I'm a sucker for action-fantasy-demon anime, which means the story so far is right in my wheelhouse. I can't wait for Ch3!

I love this game, the renders are excellent, the UI is not complicated and messy. The story is great and the progression has been wonderful to see. I love the concept the game is based on and I cant wait to see more.

Wow a genuine 5 star game. Too many these days get 5 stars even though even in the notes it says it's not perfect SMH. Normally I don't like Netori games, but for some reason the way this is written I like it in this case. Can't wait for the next update.

Edit 11/08/2023 Still a 5 star and if it was possible I would give it even more stars. Keeps getting better and better.

The only thing this game lack is character's voice. At least moaning sound should be there.
Story, Renders and character 5/5 and animations 4/5. Just 2 chapters came out till now and created a good buzz. Also love the use of dark shade as the story is about a so called demon.

I'll count this as one of my favourite games on this platform. The story is actually interesting, the writing is good and most of the characters are really pretty.


Can't wait

This game is genuinely amazing. Between the beautiful renders and the actually fun, intuitive gameplay, I highly recommend giving it a try. If you pay attention to the women's thoughts during the minigame, picking the right options isn't difficult, as their wants / desires line up with their personalities.

An amazing game in the making (as of Chapter 2).
Beautiful renders, great writing, a lot of variation in scenes depending on your choices, with actual "gameplay" mechanics.

I guess adding a couple more songs could really add to the atmosphere, but that's a bit nitpicky at this point.

I love the artistic style, the women are gorgeous but seem more...realistic? I don't know how to describe it. The story so far is great, and the way the scenes have worked has been unbelievable. This is a five-star game through and through. I do wish the MC didn't have the most hot topic style hairdo, hopefully, he loses the mop on his head and he'd be even more attractive, but the amount of choices you have in determining how he reacts is a great way to give him a more personal touch. I am always the most critical of the main character because that is who we see the story in the eyes of, and he is great, 9.9 out of 10, a 10 if he gets a new haircut.

This one blew me away. The romance with Maxime is incredible. I wasn't even 10 minutes into the game and I was already loving Maxime. The progression with Meredith is also incredible. Usually, when I play these games I'm always bracing myself for some ridiculous scenario, totally out of place even in fiction, but this one just kept proving me wrong. The renders, the plot development, the relationships and even the gameplay are on point.

This game is also incredibly sensual and it goes to show that you don't need to create the most unrealistically beautiful goddesses to elicit arousal or interest. The fact that Maxime and Meredith aren't out-of-this-world goddesses only adds to the depth of their interactions.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the interactions with Julia that much. Whilst Julia is a cool character, the interactions with her land on the cilché side of things, what with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl thing she's got going on. The fact that she used that power on MC only detracted from the experience. That would only help if you're looking to get dominated, but that's not what I expected from this game and I really enjoy seeing an assertive and confident MC for once.

Now, if going further, the dev changes the dynamics of the relationship with Julia, then I'd be confident to say this game is near perfect. Although it still has other minor flaws such as some clunky animations and the thing with Julia, I still think this game deserves the 5-stars.

Still early on in development, but what has been shown so far can rival every other game/vn on this site, the renders are absolutely superb, the LI's are all amazing right now focusing on one who is slowly falling for the MC, MC in a superpowered game would normally for me feel like a powetrip but this is just perfect for the MC to grow as a likeable person despite these powers helping him
Excited to see where this goes further
