Ren'Py - Voronica Goes to Town [v0.4.1] [HeedlessHedon]

Voronica Goes To Town (0.3.12)
Remember Voronica the ‘vore’ bunny? She’s back for a second adventure that takes her to and through town. If you thought a house of tinies was bad, prepare for the worst when she enters the city.

STORY
VGTT takes place some time after Voronica Cleans House, during a court case after Voronica has been sent to jail for murder, property destruction and a bunch of other things. The game recalls earlier moments and capitalizes on a loophole Sasha from the first game exposed - allowing Voronica to go on parole instead of going back to jail.

If by now you haven’t realised, this game is absurd. It really dives into the vore/giantess fetish and doesn’t hold back on morbid humor. Voronica ends up held hostage by her parole officer Hart, a hermaphrodite deer who quickly learns Voronica isn’t just another pushover. Slowly, they warm up to each other - but Hart is super serious when it comes to paying rent.

As you explore the complex you are held in, you meet new characters and find new stories to play a role in. Eventually, Voronica is granted permission to work outside the house and make more money. The result is shenanigans at every workplace she can find a job in. It’s a fresh take on the Voronica story, even though it isn't always sensible.

PRESENTATION
Everything from the first game is here - the graphics, but definitely the gore as well. This developer swaps sprites with a final renders and while the style isn’t too realistic, it works because the story is just as absurd. That said, Voronica looks amazing and at times horrifying as well.

The new cast of tinies is amazing, in all kinds of shapes and races. Not to mention the largies, who are more varied than in the first game. With the addition of the city, you’ll have a lot of new scenes to discover and find characters in. There’s a club, a clothing shop and more - the developer really used the sandbox model to showcase the city that houses Voronica and her shenanigans.

Like its predecessor, the game features sexual scenes and has some gore if you look for it. You can choose to simply digest someone or make it messy. Regardless of what hole you allow them into. The vore isn’t limited to Voronica alone, as other creatures use the ability to enrich themselves just as much. It’s as humorous as it is horrifying at times.


GAMEPLAY
For Veronica Goes To Town, the developer made the story play out in a sandbox with different places to visit. You start out in a complex and gradually make your way outside. The whole experience feels like an expansive story and works well to immerse you into Voronica’s often bizarre world.

The sandbox does come with a downside - you will have to pay $400 rent each week to stay in the house. You are required to do jobs and make due, eventually finding better ways to make money. It can be a bit complex and those who just want a story should definitely look for a walkthrough.

For those looking for an additional challenge, the game offers all kinds of extras - minigames for ‘voring’, respawn chances for tinies and custom growth selection. These can be disabled if you just want the bare minimum of gameplay, but the sandbox is mandatory. Personally I found the minigames to take away from the experience and didn’t need the additional challenge, which made the game far more chill and story-based.

A main requirement of the game is hunger - you need to feed on people in order to survive and grow. But eating people will cause you heat. Too much heat will get you noticed by law enforcement. You have to keep enough of a low profile while feeding in order to grow. This actual game tactics will have you planning when or how you can devour someone and who it should be.

The fact you as a player get to pick who, where and when is eaten feels powerful. There are many stories to tell and experience and even more tinies to devour. This is a big step up from the original Voronica stemmed from and a true sandbox experience.

OVERALL
What could be worse than Voronica in a house? The bunny back in the city. This time she’s funnier, hornier and has characters to keep her in check while she gets to dominate others. It’s quite a rollercoaster besides the subject of voring, but together it’s a unique package that ups the ante from the original game. We can only suspect what will happen when Voronica’s mother finally enters the scene…

Rating: 7.5/10

The game is well animated and has great designs and scenarios if you're into the fetishes on offer. Overall I'd probably give it closer to a 3.5 at the moment than a 4, just because it is a bit repetitive and lacking in content.

Though the main issue for me really is just how easy it is to get a bad end that exits you back out to the title. In particular regarding the money you have to pay for weekly rent, if you come back to a newer version after not playing a while it's easy to forget that's a thing if decide to pick up where you left off, and if you don't have a backup save far enough back, you can easily softlock yourself into a bad end.

Again though, if you're into the fetishes on offer, it's a very well handled game beyond that. Will definitely have to keep an eye on it to see how future versions turn out however.

Great animations and as a vore dude i'm happy this exist, but making 200 for rent each week to avoid the game ending with no going back or alternative to pay means restarting over and over again cause it takes forever to make that dosh, this one gameplay mechanic is busting my balls not in a good way.

Good game with good renders and animations, funny story and world. Actually surprised to see such high quality game focused on such niche fetish. Only negative is that with current level of quality fast development is unlikely.

Haha, this game is awesome! I found it funny, had a lot fun and I think the over-the-top-predatory-story and setting is great. Gonna eat 'em all! Thank you for making it and keep those updates coming - I'm your fan now!

AMAZING GAME LOVE IT. I think this is one of the best games I've ever seen. The story is a bit wanky, and there is a lot of uh stuff. that's not everyone's cup of tea but I really love the art. Once again this game is not everyone cup of tea so play at your own discretion.

Okay, not my cup of tea, neither the vore nor the furry (hairy...) part. That being said I had a good laugh and the "crazy" written into the bunny's personality (and the rest of the game) fits like a glove, good humor allround, at least for my weird taste.

Thumbs up for Voronica's design, very unique and something one won't forget very quickly after seeing her messing around. Cute little bugger! Okay, not that little.. ^^

Horror, well, yes, kind of. On the other hand no one talks about horror in your typical ego-shooter game where you kill people all day long, often times way more graphic, so there's that but I get the argument. For an outsider like me the term "bizarre" may be more fitting, I surely had my "the fuck??" moments (followed by laughter).

At this point [v0.2.1] the game is very short and after a view rounds through the different rooms you have seen it all.

The game mechanics of stat juggling are easy enough and the sneaking up / fighting by spacebar are okay-ish. If the game was much bigger, I wouldn't mind an option to skip the mini games.

I can only give four stars because the lack of "usual" sexual content but what's there is sound in itself and well executed.

Don't really know what to do with this game but glad I had a look into it, bookmarked!

Really tried, but the game is too stupid.

-Short animations, they are good but heh. No F material. Even a written content which is at least longer is more F material.

-It isn't grindy, it's a stupid "maintain balance" between stats too hard to maintain while enjoying a H game. Hunger will kill you if you focus on paying your rent, to be at peace, in a VORE GAME. While still eating 2 tinies/day. How can something be so stupidly designed?

-Long dialogues bringing no character development except for MC doesn't help. Characterisation godammit. That was something a little present in the first game.

I could have talked about the insuffisant gameplay loop, but it's still early so it's forgivable. Anything else isn't. Hard pass even from a vore enjoyer.
Loss of time.

interesting style, good animations, cool concept. but just wish there was more to it than vore. being a giant predator bunny is great, its unique. however, Vore only, it limits what i can enjoy. why not allow me to also play with my food not just in the sense of killing, but fucking them? dude on the toilet that downs, let the bunny lick his penis, eat his cum, let him fuck her. then kill him. or spare him, same with the other smalls. id love the more perverse side of it, as then it makes the whole eating and vore system even better, as it allows you to choose, and therefor you get fappable content, and cool gameplay mechanics.

however, the gameplay loop of feeding is just way too tedious, and thats all there really is to it. EAT, CLEAN, MAKE MONEY TO PAY RENT, SURVIVE LONGER, EAT, CLEAN PAY RENT, LEVEL STATS, EAT, CLEAN, PAY RENT, LEVEL STATS. its literally all there is to it. cool theres vore, but that just as its own standalone thing is boring, it doesnt try to do much to stand out from the HUNDREDS of other vore games out there. the eating mechanic and power play could be awesome, if paired with allowing the smalls to fuck you either normally with their small dicks, or choosing the evil way and using their bodies as a toy. then eating. i wouldve rated this a 5 star if there was as i had previously mentioned above in the game.

Gave it a shot, vore isn't my thing but it looked well made and i was curious. It's pretty good, well animated, the dialogue is funny, the gameplay loop is a bit repetitious and the minigame for stalking is lame but outside of that i enjoyed it, definitely a strange kink but pretty fascinating to explore it. Looking forward to future updates. Give it a shot.

The game is fun, entertaining and promising.
Definitely not for a wide audience.
But it caters to its niche well.

I personally wish the scenes were a bit longer and more dramatic.
Especially the hard vore. Nightmare fuel for one is a thrill for another.

The animations were way above what you usually see in other games.

For all the disturbing side of it ,being mostly vore stuff, the game did look fairly good.

The dark humor and dialogues in it were surprisingly entertaining as well.

The game up to the next point, would have been a 3 or 4 out of 5.

However, one of the main character is a futa. That not having been advertised, and said content locking you out of one of the main character's quest line/content if you disable it, that's another star taken off.

A shame, this game had the potential of being different and maybe even interesting, despite how fucked up the idea of it was.
