VN Ren'Py Completed The List [v0.13] [Uncle Loco]

[Quetzzz]

I think your review is pretty much spot on, but can't help but feel that 2 stars is a bit harsh. I would give it 3/4.

I was talking things over with a few people on Discord, and was considering the same thing. This really isn't a poorly made game, but it isn't a 4 in my book either. I'll adjust my rating.

I think the story concept is pretty good in a sea of 'chosen one' AVN's

For me, the ball was dropped as soon as Rob started doing what Eve told him to do, combined with some LI being optional and others not. Take Sylvia, the girl is drawn to Rob due to his kindness and innate power/curse, and Eve is whispering in both their ears how important they are to each other. But Sylvia's importance is utilitarian, she's there to save Rob's life. But this side of the coin gets little consideration. That Sylvia is important to Rob doesn't have to translate into lust or love, but it happens anyway, and it feels empty to me.

I found myself rapid clicking to skip through the sex scenes because they were just so dull, repetitive and soulless. It was like the LI encounters were just performative to tick them off some list.

This was my experience as well. I'm someone who wants to know what makes a character tick, why they're making their decisions. I couldn't get invested in any of these characters because I didn't understand what Rob saw in them, except for a place to sheath his dick.
If I ask myself why I think Rob slept with Madison, Kelly and Cassie, the only answer I can come up with is: "because they were willing."

I don't mean to be unkind to the dev who has worked hard to produce something that I would never have the skill or wit to create, and I did enjoy the journey that the story has taken me on so far.

Overall I enjoyed playing this AVN and would hope that both your and my feedback be taken constructively.

Absolutely! My criticism is my own subjective opinion and experience. I respect Loco for having a finished game, at the very least. It took several days for me to get through the game (little free time), and I wouldn't have invested this time if I saw nothing of value.

Can someone explain to me what happened to this game in the end? There will be a sequel in the future and I understand... but I was expecting a minimum closure to the story and it ended with everything open. The game is good but it brought me some disappointments, for example the pregnancy that Kelly lost. This left me immensely indignant. Madison and Gaby hiding the pregnancy is another irritating thing too. For a final chapter, the game ending this way was very strange. It doesn't feel like a season finale, it feels like a simple "I'm tired of making a game and I want a break."

You've answered your own question in your post. The fact that you don't like the answer is something different all together.

I'm just amazed that an episode about the surviving characters seeking closure to their loss isn't thrilling enough! Don't people find death and mayhem, vengence and killing, mourning and broken heartedness..., exciting? We may have, inadvertently, hit on something here! Too often people don't see the need to slow down and deal with yesterday before moving on to tomorrow. At least, that's my take on this final chapter. Sometimes it's important to just do what's necessary.

So the reason for the end here is, it's time for a time jump. I wanted to have everything set up for the first big time jump in the Saga, and this was the best spot. This is planned for a 5 story game 3 for the main storyline and 2 side stories (which connect to the main storyline). The List is game one, The Perfect Town is the first side story and that features the MC's dad (chapter 1 is out to play). After that will be The List 2 which is where we will pick up after the time jump.

As for the pregnancy stuff, Kelly's incident will be addressed in the story, and it serves multiple purposes which will be addressed in the future games. However, part of me regrets adding it in the first place, but it was needed to justify Madison's decision.

If you are on Gabi's Path:
Her pregnancy is a completely different story. I won't get into the details in the actual story, but Nathan knows way more about who Rob really is than he lets on. His creator was given the book to guard over until the chosen one would appear and claim it. Which is why Nathan didn't want to approve Alexis to make the MC a vampire he wanted that claim. He also wanted to try to take advantage of the situation and have Gabi seduce the MC to have his child to strengthen his power position. (I will say that part was something he decided after Gabi chose to be with the MC not before.) Nathan knows about Mages and the prophecy, and while he wanted the MC to stay he ended up knowing Gabi was pregnant so he got something out of the deal. Gabi's family is eternally bound to the Grey bloodline, and Nathan uses the mind trick on Gabi to prevent her from telling the MC about their child. If you are not on Gabi's path she will still have a child it will just not be the MC's child.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Good morning, it seems that [General21] is not defined.

Good morning, it seems that [General21] is not defined.

I just double-checked the script it is defined. However, if you are using a third-party mod it is possible you have an older one, and that is the issue.

I would like to know if Alexis is definitely dead or if she will come back with another body. Because she is cool and it would be awesome if Rob got her back.

By the way, this game has great artwork and an interesting story. Great Job Uncle Loco

If you follow the story it shows exactly what is going to happen.

It's quite an important scene.

The part you mean happens on the 1st episode of "The Perfect Town", that's why it is recommended to stop this one on update 12, then go to TPT read the first part, then back here for the 13th.

Peace

Short answer is she is coming back. Long answer play The Perfect Town chapter 1 to see how.

Comentário de merda, de um ignorante que não percebeu NADA, a história continua em mais 4 jogos que ainda não foram feitos, utilizador sem valor recomenda-se que se ignore.
Shit filled comment, of an ignorant that didn't understood anything, the story continues in 4 more games that haven's been done yet, user without any value it is recommended to put in ignore.

Thank you for showing us what a piece a shit you are.
Obrigado por nos mostrar o monte de merda que você é.

And once we figure out what jealous little weasel of a Dev this is the alternate account for, we'll make sure to destroy your reviews. Have a nice day!

I would like to confirm I only have one account here and have never needed to make another one.

I know my game is not for everyone, but I appreciate those who give constructive feedback.
