VN - Ren'Py - Tales from the Deep: Eve [Ch1.b0.a3.4] [Mrsloap]

Pretty good overall.

I enjoy darker stories, especially in game form.
The animations i felt were really good, as well as the models felt really well done(not in terms of fidelity but just attractive non plastic feel)
I think its very well done in terms of the production side, if most games had visuals/animation like these this would be a huge step up overall.

so why only 4 stars?
The writing is nothing special, its not bad its not mid but its not great either.
This might be a very specific personal problem, but having redundant prompts. example: "she opens her eyes" click "and then she" click " looks back at him" click "and says" click... etc etc. you get the point. I feel like in a game that takes around 20minutes to explore from start to finish with out skipping takes 800 clicks. You can have the opposite problem aswell. By having too much text and drowning in endless smut fiction.
Overall cutting to different angles having one word or two words prompts doesn't add OR adds so little it becomes meaningless. Feels like needs an improved writing angle or storyboarding in a more sophisticated way.
Lastly.
Maybe im missing something, i didn't visit the patreon and maybe theres 9 chapters worth of content, but i played this game mabye 3 or 2 and a half years ago. It has one chapter? and it doesn't even seem finished to me either. Not like im paying for this so i dont know if its fair for me to complain. But still its a negative.


I wrote more negative things then positive about this project but overall im just giving engagement and hoping this helps, overall the games good you did a great job. Hope you continue your work .

Although the game is already two years old there is still very little. It almost looks like a demo. It's a remarkable demo, though. I can't wait to see how the story progresses. I wonder though, if the author aims to create a series of somewhat connected stories and we're still so far behind after two years, when does he plan to finish? I'm really enjoying this one anyway.

Extremely dark AVN about sexual exploitation, and it becomes ap[paraent when eve looks directly at you as if she is looking directly through you. It is genuine;ly bone chilling I recommend everione to play it atleast once.

Review for Tales from the Deep: Eve [Ch1.b0.a3.4]

The story is about a FMC who is in a really fucked up position due to her poor life decisions. The story has really dark undertones and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes really dark from this point.

The FMC model is really hot from a real life perspective. She looks like a normal young mother you would meet in your everyday life, rather than a model/actress, which sits into the story really well.

The graphics are really well done. The sex scenes and animations are great. The dialogues are good too. They showcase every characters personality really well. There are not a lot of impactful choices in the game.

I would recommend this game to anyone who love stories with dark undertone. It may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Really looking forward to future updates. All the very best to the developer!!

Excellent work!!!!!!
Great game!!!!!!
Nice story!!!!!!
Eve is so sexy!!!!!!
I love her tits!!!!

Thanks for the fun!!!!!!
I hope, that there will be more scenes very soon!!!!
The developer earns these 5 stars.

Do you know these female protagonists AVN's where there are several good and bad endings? So, this can be considered a sequel to a bad ending of one of those. She is already corrupted but is struggling with her past and trying to be something better or not, is up to your choices. The renders are average (compared to some other top-notch AVNs renders), but the amazing animations compensate for it. The ambient has a very dark atmosphere combined with very dark events. The female protagonist is hot but the past debauchery made her chubby and full of tats.

This is an absolute gem. The female MC is hot as holy hell, but what especially stands out are the animations. Movement of bodies and body parts (yeah I'm talking titties) is done more realistic than what I've seen in any other game.

I'm usually not a fan of female protagonist games but somehow this game is different. I like that the MC isn't some innocent virgin fairy who turns into a slut after seeing one penis. Instead the story has a darker undertone and the protagonist constantly balances between shitty situations in a twisted world where her body is the only valuable asset she has.

One major downside? The dev seems to put so much effort into creating the animations that development of the game is slower than a snail moving backwards. If you want to see any progression it's probably best to check on the game every one or two years.

The character designs in this game are absolutely incredible! The animations are fantastic too. The only problem is that I ran out of content too quickly - but honestly that's just because I enjoyed it so much I couldn't stop playing. Really looking forward to future updates!

It's quite short but god, the character design of Eve is out of this world.
I'm not sure about where the story is going but so far it's pretty well done !
I don't know why there's a kid in the story as we have yet to see said kid (maybe for extra drama factor and/or solo mom' fantasy ?)

The game isn't long and there aren't a lot of significance to the player choices, but the quality of the renders and animations are absolutely top notch and the setting is cool too. It is quite unlike all the other content in here, in a good way .

If this is not abandoned, for the kinky ppl like me and the unique animation/character textures it can surpass a lot of my favorites. I hope you dont take it easy on the story and completely take it away from reality so it loses its feel.
It has heart big potential

All my 5 stars are for the beauty of the MC very nice work on there ,great story, straight to the point the way i like it. The dark themed games not my fav but this got my attention for sure also very good animations keep the good work dev

This game has fantastic animations, great story, excited to see where it goes with more updates. Really looking forward to the planned incest tag the most out of all of them. I'm a big fan of Eve's MILF character design and I'm looking forward to interactions with Rina as well.

The animations are excellent and the sound is minimalist yet effective. This is dark and that just how I like it. I would love to support this project but the development is so gosh darn slow. I'm sure it's the old catch-22: Can't work on it full time because he doesn't have the support base, can't get the support base because he can't work on it full time. I think I will anyway.

After the latest "update" I decided to give my two cents on this game.

If you download this game you are in for a very short (3 real scenes currently) and very linear visual novel. That is hardly the most exciting type of project, but what this game has going for it is a very well designed and unique female protagonist and some real attention to detail with its visuals.

The game felt like it had the potential to go in a very unique direction and show a descent into corruption from a rarely scene angle. The angle of a woman who can't overcome her base desires and continually makes poor choices despite her best efforts, in a world pushing her to fail. Could have made for a dark and nuanced experience.

The reason this review has been phrased in the past tense is I am fairly sure none of this will be realised. Over the past two years or so of development about three minutes of "gameplay" has been added. With no new sex scenes and no choices. Its a joke. I also felt like the visuals even took a hit in quality in the latest "update". Simply put this game has evolved into its final form, one that many games on this site find themselves in. A crowdfunding sink scam that puts out BARELY enough content to keep the diehards invested but which has no plan of actually achieving its potential for those fans.

I understand the review rules on this site prohibit talking about updates schedules. I respectfully disagree and challenge anyone to argue that the update pattern for this game does not harm the value it offers new players.

Ultimately what you have here is about 10 minutes of a fun and unique visual novel that never really got started. Sad.

The detail on the female protagonist is enough for five stars, she does look like a sexy thirty year old mom rather than a mature looking teenager, the animation is top notch, and it's not limited to sex scenes.

You can feel the ambition of the author, which is the mark of a masterpiece.

Immediately fell in love with the MC's design, she's absolutely gorgeous. Pretty impressive how she actually looks like a real woman(unlike the blowup dolls we see in most AVNs) despite of course being so oversexualized.
The writing's really nothing to write home about but I felt it still served it's purpose. In my opinion the quality of the animations more than make up for this anyway.

Still gonna give it a 5/5 because despite the game's flaws there's a LOT of potential here. I hear the developer's sick so here's hoping he gets better, and maybe down the line manages to complete development, or even just release a couple more chapters before throwing in the towel for good, which is probably a more reasonable expectation.

As of now only 3 / 5 I feel it's too early on in the story to give it anymore.

This is the first game with a dark theme like this I've played and enjoyed it for what it was and the little amount of content we got..The only thing this game has going for it good renders and good animations. I really like how animations aren't just used for lewds. The story is dark and as of now not enough to have an opinion but a good start. I really like Eve's model not into milfs but one of the better looking ones ive seen in a game and has a pretty realistic body. For now just have to wait and see how the the story improves as we get more updates.

great story, amazing writing, niche taboo kinks, interesting and believeable characters, phenomenal ANIMATIONS. this makes you wanna keep playing over n over again. realistic looking characters with believable models, no OVER SIZED ANIME tiddies, and it makes it that much more enjoyable for it.

sad to see no new content has been delivered, and i hope this doesnt follow the greats that get stringed along with hope to eventually be left to rot. i have never given a full five star review, atleast from what i can remember. but this game deserves it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get on with delivering content for this game, or atleast give access to a discord where we can chat to you

This one is starting out great, with a lot of potential.

Pros:

• Eve is a knockout. Killer body from head to toe. Love the tats and dark features.
• Stellar visuals. I mean to go into a bit of detail here, because if you are reading this and wondering if maybe the thumbnails do/don't do it justice - they don't. Some of the best animation I've ever seen in a VN. Even when considering animators who do only that. It's so lifelike, the physics are just so well done. When a breast is pulled down by gravity, you can tell. When it's swaying because she's bent forward, it's realistically doing so. When a man's pelvis hits her ass with every thrust, you see a very natural looking bounce effect. Stretch marks are both present and subtle, and move with the animation rather than being static lines that don't flex. I could go on and on about the unique way in which this game was rendered, but it'll be immediately apparent to all who play it. I cannot overstate how much this aspect appeals, at least to me.
• You can make your experience as Eve be such that she is forced into being a slut, or that she wants to be. Make no mistake, though: she's going to be, whether you want it or not.

Cons:

• The dialog is rough. There are multiple issues with it, starting with it just being generally not creative of alluring. Characters are highly predictable, and have zero depth. While I'm not sure how important that's going to be to many, it's still worth noting. Expanding on the bad dialog (this is a VN, after all), it appears to suffer from rough translation and dismal grammar. If you want a story without much of a backstory that is lived vs recounted, where we see the MC get essentially thrust into forced sex from one scene to the next...you won't be disappointed.
• While the visuals are unique and the animations/physics within them are highly impressive, there are some characters' qualities that appear a bit cartoonish.
• I feel like Jerome's character suffers from what nearly all devs do to black characters, where they over-caricature to the point that it almost feels like I'm indulging in some light racism. I guess even in modern settings, black people still only know slang and are a monolith.
• Lazy, lazy writing. It's just bad. We're expected to believe that

  . I find this problematic from a creative perspective. But that's me.

Overall, I feel like what's available to experience is so brief I can't really comment further. Despite what appears to be a lot more in the Cons section above, I have every intention of following this one as it develops, and absorbing it with joy. 3 stars for the visuals, 1 star for the genre/tags (I'm in a mood lately, and this is satiating).
