Ren'Py World of Secrets [v0.6.2] [RWA Studios]

[Fun Shaundi]

I was in the minority who wasn't bothered by the MC's face in the original version (just pointed out how MC's breasts were still visible in some renders, and I understood why some people didn't wanna play a feminine looking MC), and I waited to play this remake until I had free time so I could enjoy multiple updates in a row and give it all my attention to give it fair criticism.
This rework started solid, but the more I played with the new sandbox system the more annoying, confusing and frustrating it became.
The renders are still gorgeous, but the fact that you don't get hints in a sandbox game until you get the new phone is frustrating as hell. I've been waiting since forever for Mr. Simon to sign the papers, but he isn't home or 'locked' inside his office in the basement. If this content isn't available yet, the hint system should at least tell us that (like Desert Stalker does, for example, the quest log lets you know if the quest has reached its current content).
The constant clicking to navigate the house and school are also annoying.

I'll drop this game simply because of how annoying the sandbox/navigation system is for me, which is a shame cause I really like the render quality, the characters and even the reworked story, but sadly moving around in the game feels more like a chore. Best of luck for the devs and people who still enjoy it as it is.

i cant talk to anna by the pool? do i need to do something first?

 

[Azzy451]

doesn't work for me, did you start a new save? I used my old one not sure that is the issue.

new save / first run through - so many times I just tried every location to see what I could click on and for me after the get document, biology class was next, there was a pattern of a different class each day..
the doc didn't get signed until the next day when the family returned from their Tuesday 'weekend' away

- the waiting for a message on 2 girls.. I got tired of burning days waiting for a message - so parked the game until next time

Dear F95Zone Users,

First and foremost, thank you for your passionate feedback. We deeply appreciate the time you’ve taken to voice your concerns, critiques, and experiences with our game. Here's our response to some of the issues raised:

1. Nature of Sandbox Games: We understand that sandbox-style games aren't for everyone. They offer an open-world experience, which can sometimes be overwhelming or confusing. Our intention was to create a rich environment where players have the freedom to explore and interact with various elements. However, we acknowledge the feedback regarding the "death by attrition" and are looking into balancing the gameplay.
2. Switch to Sandbox: The decision to transition the game into a sandbox format was made to offer a deeper, more immersive experience. We recognize that this transition might not resonate with everyone and that some players found the previous format more developed.
3. Hint System & Navigation: We've noted the feedback regarding the challenges with our hint system, especially when it comes to finding locations on the map. We're also aware of the concerns about having to purchase a new phone to access hints. We're in the process of refining this to make navigation and progress more intuitive. We're also considering more comprehensive in-game guides or walkthroughs to assist players.
4. Repetitive Events & Content Availability: Your feedback regarding the repetition of school events and the unavailability of certain locations, like the gym, is invaluable. We’re working on diversifying events and making it clearer when you’ve reached the end of available content for specific characters or storylines.
5. Journey of the Character: In this game, you will witness a captivating transformation journey of the main character, and you will be the architect of this change. At first glance, the main character you see before you might not seem promising in terms of relationships with women. However, as you progress through the game, you'll seize the opportunities presented to unveil his potential and shape him into an impressive individual. Every choice you make will play a decisive role in the evolution of the character.
6. Time Management & Hints: We acknowledge the concerns about time management within the game and the inability to skip time in certain locations. Improvements to the hint system are underway to make it more informative, especially about content availability.
7. On Being a "Sold-Out Developer": Our decision to use Patreon as a platform is driven by the need to fund the game's development. We strive to maintain a balance between meeting platform requirements and ensuring a satisfying gaming experience. Our community's happiness is paramount, and we will never compromise on the quality and integrity of our game for any external pressures.
8. Old Save Files and Updates: If you continue the game using old save files, you might encounter some issues. We are making maximum efforts to prevent such problems in the upcoming chapters. We believe that the current version is free from errors. Of course, there might be minor glitches that might have slipped our attention, but we are confident that this is the most stable and seamless version to date.
9. Foundation of the Open World and Interaction Objective: Our primary goal in this chapter was to establish the foundational infrastructure for an open world. At the same time, we wanted to ensure that players can go to any location at any time and interact. However, instead of adding rotation at this moment, we've structured a roadmap that will aid the progression of the story. We will address these shortcomings in the future minor updates.

In conclusion, your feedback is the lifeblood of our game's improvement. We genuinely care about your gaming experience and are here to address any concerns and questions you may have. We only ask that criticisms remain constructive and respectful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support.

With sincere gratitude and warmth,

RWA Studios

I would suggest on the Map the buildings where we should go in the Event, or what mission to make them blink or change color, because the first time I was looking for a house for about 10 minutes, someone who starts playing this game will surely get lost and turn off the game, and it's best to add a name next to the photos in the hints on your phone, because you also don't know who you have a Quest with

I love incest games and only support those said games, so for me it kinda sucks when you took that from the original version and not only that you guys went even beyond to make a cutscene where the mc is orphan, closing even the possibilities for a patch. I think you should have let us choose the relationship or at very least leave room for a patch.

There are people like me that only support incest games, you're basically alienate us from supporting this game. Think about it, there's still time.

Cheers

The models are beautiful, but it's Sandbox and how many times can you remake a game that has barely got started.

 

[roshan07]

where's the grocery shop?? i couldnt find it

 

[Tito98]

I try to play the game because l like how it looks and the plot looks good to but I can't the sandbox in this game is to annoying

 

[parzival5]

ok I'll try give feedback with my bad english, maybe I'm not targeted player but I was hyped for this game only because for me the story is one of the best here and renders are pretty good. I'm just disappointed for two things. 1.sandbox for me is too annoying and mostly waste of time and 2.in this game characters at the end of their dialogues give a hint where to go but half time they don't give me any hint where to go or what to do and game has no indicator or what to do list. or maybe I'm just dumb for sandbox. thats it. well good luck.

 

[chimidot]

do we get a message from Ava (massage lady) this version? i've played a week and still didn't get the call from her.. same situation with the project partner (i forgot her name).

 

[only MILF]

after that the game crashes....GAME OVER.

 

[hawklan]

Potentially a great game. Graphics are fantastic. The gameplay though needs lot of work. Sandbox style without a walkthrough of hint system is a huge problem. And world map, oh the map is so confusing, you can't tell if something is open. And trying to find the location is so difficult. Too many locations and micro management! Not fun. Seriously. More sex please. I want to see lots of sex like Genesis Order. It's a sex game afterall.

 

[frasper]

this game gonna die and they gonna abonden it just note that words u will see soon.

 

[Jrange02]

My honest thoughts on the game after playing since pre prologue >>
Pros:
Top Tier Renders
Amazing character designs (Other than Mc looking Feminine)
Decent-Great Story so far

Cons:
No real hint system which is crucial for sandbox games
Removed Incest which I would say is personal preference but since it was already implented in prologue I assume there would at least be an option
Nsfw conent is very soft (for now at least)
- Most of these can be fixed or added which I hope the dev does, the game has extreme potential Ijust hope it doesn't get abandoned
