Pocket Waifu Rekindled 🔞[ADULT NSFW]

Meh. That's the nicest thing I can say about this game. tl;dr - Don't bother with this game unless you want to watch an introvert struggle through all of his emotional baggage in the worst ways possible. I enjoy the style of artwork. That's about it. There are some scenes that are enjoyable, but for the most part, they don't make up for these annoying story. If what you're looking for is just a lewd game that gives an excuse to "collect waifus" - look elsewhere, this ain't it, in spite of the game's name. What this game IS, is a vehicle for the author to tell their own version of "Desire & Consequences" - You sell your soul to a succubus who proceeds to screw with you, dragging you through all sorts of aggravatingly stupid story elements and emotional baggage. The game attempts to deal with very real issues like jealousy, infidelity, betrayal, heartbreak and loss, but without providing any sort of remotely real groundwork for why it would happen, thereby diffusing any sort of connection you the player might associate with them. Instead it's like watching a really insipid comedy of errors where the MC (you), makes one monumentally bad choice, and then deals with the fallout from it very poorly, because that's the MC's trope. They're a failure at handling their issues. Toss in girls of every trope imaginable for you to deal with, ex girlfriend, random murderous yandere, sister cleverly disguised as barely legal step sister, there's a dozen of them. None of them make sense, based on the initial story with selling the soul etc, none of their attractions to you should make sense. But that's where the author decides to twist the knife, they try to force "sense" on the situation. Suddenly you're stuck miming your way through this idiot's attempt to come to grips with sold his soul to a demon, now in love with a dozen different women, one of whom is murderous yandere and none of which is something he is comfortable with. Blargh. Good art though! animations are so-so, just 2-4 frames following each other on repeat. I've certainly seen worse, that aspect of the game is not bad at all. The UI is a bit clunky. It seems likely that some UI elements were developed late in the game's cycle when the dev better understood what they wanted, or at least how to do what they wanted. Other elements work poorly. UI interactions for "moving" from room to room, selection actions in rooms. Opening menus for inventory, girl selection, options, settings, saves & loading, exiting the game - all of these work great. The part of the UI that is clunky is the chat interface. There is the standard looking AVN chat interface where most of the dialogue happens. But it only *looks* standard. The keyboard does not interact with the chat UI at all. Not enter, not space, not tab, not arrow keys, nothing. H does not hide the interface as you see in most AVNs. Instead, all interactions with the chat UI are made using the mouse. Not so great for those spicy H scenes... unless perhaps if you're using a mouse left handed. BUT, if you were left handed... wouldn't that be equally as inconvenient? Don't know. I'm neither left handed nor ambidextrous. You can manually put the chat on auto and it moves well enough that you can generally keep up no problem, if ever you feel you missed something, you can use your mouse to check the log which will pause the auto feature. That's usually the case... except when it's not. You see, there's a SECOND chat interface that pops up from time to time. Usually when there's a scene happening or about to happen. This chat interface has nothing for your mouse to interact with, other than clicking to move forward if you do not have Auto turned on. There's no option for the Log, or to turn Auto on/off during these narrative moments. They all play out as if the MC is describing them to himself in his own mind. Once it finishes, it goes back to the "standard" chat layout. Till it returns, you also can't save the game, or open any menus. Being unable to use the keyboard in the chat interface is an odd choice or oversight. The two-tone switch to a different chat during certain narrative moments is weird and jarring and ultimately feels shoehorned in to the game's overall experience. Ultimately, I do no begrudge the author their right and opportunity to create a story/game that lets them work out a character's emotional baggage. I do not however understand the purpose of placing that sort of story in a lewd game. Being left to guess as to the reason, I would have to go with perhaps this was the only way they felt players would be willing to give their story a chance and pay for the opportunity? Not sure. I did invest time in the game, even after I realized how annoying it was for me. I was hoping for more enjoyable character interactions and lewd scenes. They are in there. I just had to click passed loads and loads of sad "woe is me" style exposition. The MC themselves never became a likable or enjoyable character. Just not the intended design I suppose.

It's excellent

I usually never write review, and specifically don't want to write this one because...it just makes me sad. I'm a fan of the original PW, it's art, story, characters, gameplay it was lovely, i even love Shelter 69 the other game of JNT. So when a remake was announced, I was eager ! PW:R was a cold shower. It clearly shows there was a lot of problem in the development. First my expectations : -I was expecting *at least* the same content than original game, and it's clearly not the case. In the original all "main" scenes were animated, and in a similar art style at least for each girl, here, it feels scenes were given to artists at random, they're not bad, but it feels random. That, and a lot of scenes that WERE animated are now static images. You could have simply took the scenes directly from the original, and I wouldn't have had a problem with it. It even misses Klara and Fae, they were not the most important (nor my favourites) but taking away two girls and having less content...? -I was expecting the same gameplay or, at least, a full on visual novel. Not the case, here, we have a weird fusion with....no real gameplay since we're almost never free to *play* and less story than in the original who almost never had the MC talking. How is that possible ? And thats not taking in account that we lost a lot of interractions because of the new "gameplay", barely any gift, no flowers, nothing. The only moments when I felt I could PLAY the game was after the introduction until chapter 2, from then, everything felt locked and forced. Even the whole dress up aspect is....eh. -I was expecting the same story overrall, again, the writing feels....random. Scenes are scattered randomly with no real evolution, and I don't want to blame the writer on that, because if it likes S:69, the scenes aren't there to illustrate the story (like in ANY coherent game) but the opposite, they got scenes from the artist and got told "write for that and make it make sense" with a whole lot of conditions. That, and not only we don't have the girls EPILOGUE (HOW ?! SERIOUSLY ?!) but some characters had some very weird changes, Annabelle becomes X-Files (...because ?) Lilith is clearly not the same character (in both art and story tbh) same for Angela, that and clearly if you haven't played the original a LOT of informations are simply lost. Overral, the game feels rushed. Less content in both art and story and with less flavour, clearly rushed and with barely any thought in term of gameplay, and with some bugs that shouldn't have left playtesting. All of that compared to the original, released 7 years ago. And I know for a fact that both Devs, Writer and Artists could've done better. It clearly went through some dev hell, and I HOPE an update will fix all of that.

such a good pocket, you know? ;)

Игра плохо собранный кривой кусок кода! Мне не очень понятно откуда такой высокий бал что от Кураторов, что так. Если в игре криво работает автосейв, который может похерить вам полностью прохождение. Дойдете вы до главы третьей, выйдете из игры, а по возвращению, игра поймает софт лок и ничего не сделать, только перезапускать с начала или если вы сохранились где нибудь удачно вручную. Так-же из этой оперы в конце игры если со всеми героинями макс отношения, то когда игра дойдет до финального выбора можно будет выбрать только первых четверых и гарем концовку, а остальных игра не видит, можно решить если вы по умному сохранились и поднимите отношения с теми четырьмя кто вам нужен. Если загрузите автосохранение, поймаете софтлок. Это просто сломанный бред какой-то, а не игра. Сцены и Арты среднего качества, анимаций почти нету.

I really hate to write this because I thought the characters from the og pw were really well made and I liked them but ahh... I somewhat hoped similar type of gameplay as the og was but polished and without the p2p aspect. Don't get me wrong I am vn enjoyer but: It was just short, And i felt like this many characters in this short story just doesn't give the spotlight for each character equally. It just feels bit bad that's all. The og game was otherwise just fine, but i stopped playing it originally because y'know, paying ludicrous amount of money to ff time or buy x virutal item is just not for me. Did this game have some scenes that were hot? Yeah. Would i say that it's worth of 20€? Not really, I'd buy it on sale if you really curious I'm not saying the game is awful but maybe it just felt wrong for me personally.

it‘s ridiculous that there has only CG gallery without memory mode, when the previous game included a memory mode. and It’s really annoying that Annabelle’s oppai has become smaller. 以前玩过这游戏网游版的半破解手机版（可以翻倍刷金币和直接解锁部分cg），现在买一份重置单机版权当补票。直接说总体评价，游戏整体质量和宣传图中差不多，包含立绘换装+cg两种模式，cg包含十二个角色，每个角色七到八个。整体上打折半价以下可以入手试试，现在七五折还是太贵了点。 本游戏的优点： 1.有中文，还是精翻中文，绝对的大的加分项。欧美黄油一般能有个机翻不错了，能够精翻的少之又少，能第一个翻译出中文的更是仅此一份。别的游戏都是求着we need chinese，这游戏有精翻但没国人买也是挺难崩的 2.R18换装小游戏真好玩，服装是真的挺多的 3.角色多，妹系熟女病娇运动系宅女木柜子各种类型都有，事件相对充足 缺点： 1.没有回忆模式，只能查看已解锁cg简直太蠢了，更何况前作是有回忆模式的 2.cg质量尚可，立绘还是拉了点，虽然做成了l2d 3.汉化版有点bug，交互式页面选项经常空白 4.里面我最喜欢的角色annabelle欧派史诗级削弱，爆乳控震怒 有时间细玩一遍再补充分析剧情，顺带一提这游戏掉的卡插画质量比游戏cg高，非常神奇。

Amazing game. This removes the grindy aspect of the original and replaces it with multiple ending paths now that it's not dependant on microtransactions. It also does not shy away from horror aspects, such as SPOILERS the consequences of selling your soul END SPOILERS and it's just so fascinating to play. I reccomend this game, even outside the advertised aspects

the name of the game is deception. none of these women fit in my pocket.
