3D models start to feel very generic after seeing them in many games (with exceptions that stand out, of course). In comparison, with drawn art, different artists have different styles and more varying skill levels. There's always something to appreciate with drawn art, and I don't feel the same...
Adult Visual Novel. A porn "game" where you mostly just look at pictures (sometimes animations too), read text, and click click click to see more content, without much actual gameplay.
I can't believe this game is free. It's clearly a passion project for someone, and with this level of quality and this amount of content, they could easily charge $10 or $15 for it. But hey, happy to play it for free :)
Lucky for you, Aurealia does have incest! The main female character in the game has a sister, who is introduced earlier on without revealing the relationship between them. About one third of gameplay in, the relationship between the sisters is revealed (and hidden from censorship with a player...
The main artist in the team (walnuss) is amazing and he/she really brings Aurelia to a level that no other adult game can compete with. Animated, high quality pixel art that is drawn at a resolution where you feel comfortable putting it on full screen.
The gameplay mechanics are nothing novel...
What's with the engine thing? I thought it ran perfectly fine on the (custom?) engine rather than Renpy. Why do some people prefer this game on Renpy so much more?
I really enjoyed the "story within a story" storyline. Pacing with the flashbacks and everything worked really well. The quality of the renders was also good, and there was a decent amount of content.
The characters were not memorable, though. It's been a few months since I played this and...
Great pixel art, well crafted characters, decent amount of content, some actual gameplay mechanics.
I didn't like the grindy-ness of the chore mechanics. Not sure why so many adult game creators choose to put these chore minigames in NSFW games. I would rather see sexual minigames, or no...
Really fantastic game! Lighthearted and wholesome, but the H scenes still contained a bunch of kinks. Tons of content with high quality animated renders. The story is interesting and the plot goes on and on (maybe even too long?). Gameplay is a bit grindy but not too much.
I don't think I've ever encountered a porn game with actual difficulty. It would be nice to play something like that, where it's a challenge and you get... ehm... your reward, at the end, so to speak.
Seems like most developers go for a mix of H content and grindy mini-games that feel like...
The vast majority of Ren'py games are just a sequence of images and text that could have been published as a simple website (just HTML and images). It seems kind of unnecessary to publish those types of games in a format that requires players to run executables that could potentially be malicious.
