You play as Alex (or whatever name you choose), a 23-year-old dude who suddenly decides it’s time to change his life—right as a mysterious virus starts spreading in his town. And what does this virus do? It makes women… extremely horny. Yeah, you can probably guess where this is going. [h1]About This Game [/h1] [h2]Storyline [/h2] The game technically has two storylines: one about a scientist who, out of pure spite, releases a virus that turns women into nymphomaniacs (because of course), and the main story, where the MC celebrates his birthday and then proceeds to sexually harass every woman in his household. The narrative is essentially a thin excuse to throw the MC into various situations with these overly sexualized women. The story itself is linear, but there are choices that affect which fetishes and relationships you want to explore. Full incest? Sure. Childhood friends instead? That’s an option too. The game clearly caters to very specific tastes, but let’s be honest—nobody is here for deep storytelling or complex character arcs. [h2]Gameplay Mechanics [/h2] It’s a classic AVN—click through dialogue, make some choices, and unlock different scenes depending on your preferences. There’s no real gameplay outside of choosing what kind of content you want to see. However, one major flaw is the missing gallery. With so many optional scenes, it would be nice to have an easy way to revisit them without juggling multiple save files. [h1]Pros[/h1] [list][*] High-quality renders and attractive character designs [*] Variety of choices affecting scenes and fetishes [*] Plenty of adult content for those looking for that kind of experience[/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list][*] Missing images made large parts of the game unplayable at launch [*] No scene gallery, forcing constant save-scumming [*] Zero sexual sounds or voice acting, which hurts immersion [*] Developer has a track record of leaving games incomplete[/list] [h1]Conclusion[/h1] THE SHRiNK is, at its core, spicy material and nothing more. It’s not trying to tell an engaging story or provide deep character development—it just wants to get you from one scene to the next. And while the visuals are undeniably well done, the game itself feels incomplete, buggy, and overpriced for what little content it offers. The developer did apologize and try to fix the issue, but why did he wait for almost 2 years to fix the issues? Would I recommend it? If you’re really curious, wait for a deep discount. Otherwise, there are far better AVNs out there that actually deliver a complete experience. Rating: 5/10 Being a game dev, I know how hard it is to finish a game. But at least I don’t sell my incomplete games. For full review head over to our [url=https://www.united-critics.com/post/the-shrink-season-one]website[/url]
THE SHRiNK Season One suffers from an anoying error, missing many images, resulting in a lot of black screens. Contacting the dev looks like a impossible mission so by writing this review we hopefully get his attention. I have checked the games integrity multiple times and missing files seems to get retrieved but not saved on the disc. For now i do not recommend
I am not sure what is going on, but there are big boobs
fix your game. black screen with just words not fun at all
Unplayable, no images just text 2h of playtime. Sigh. Long time since I have tried such a broken AVN =(
Do not waste your money on this. I REPEAT. DO. NOT. WASTE. YOUR. MONEY. The story CONCEPT seems entertaining, but in reality, there is no real story. "Season 2" isn't even 30 minutes long, yet the same price as Season 1. Not to mention the MYRIAD of game breaking and save corrupting bugs.
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this game. The Developer is inexperienced, inept, and it shows in a couple of very obvious ways. First, Season 1 was a buggy mess with missing images. This is still not fixed. The fact it was released in this buggy, unplayable state to Steam is unforgivable. Second, Season 2 was released as a separate game, even though Season 1 was still a buggy mess. Then, the dev backtracked, asked to have Season 2 removed and rolled into Season 1, which means that those people who didn't give up on it after the mess was Season 1 just wound up paying for a new season that those purchasing Season 1 fresh and new will get for free. Now, Episode 3 is for sale as a DLC for Season 1. No offer of Episode 3 free for those who got f*cked over by paying for Season 2. No refund of the purchase price for Season 2. The Shrink, simply put is a buggy, unplayable mess where the developer has committed actions that if not outright fraud, are very, very close to it.
Первый сезон является, хоть и очень качественным, но прологом к основной игре. На заднем фоне нам показали что начинается эпидемия, познакомили с героинями и после полного прочтения новеллы я не был разочарован и мне очень захотелось как и развить отношения с героинями дальше, так и понять есть ли у этой игры действительно стоящий сюжет или он здесь является номинальной декораций для 18+ контента! Но с учётом её неоднозначности рекомендую покупать игру на скидках или в наборе чтобы игра точно отбилась по эмоциям. - Геймплейно перед нами визуальная новелла в которой в зависимости от наших выборов прокачиваются характеристики. Как это влияет на прохождение в первом сезоне непонятно, но будем надеяться что дальше автор использует эту прокачку в игре. - На полное прочтение уйдёт 90-120 минут. - Сюжет пока что у игры простой, лёгкий, незамысловатый с юморком, глубоких сюжетов и неожиданных поворотов в первом сезоне точно нет. - Нас ожидает 9 сцен 18+. - Автор даёт возможность на старте выключить нежелательный контент (Трансы или фута) сколько его в игре точно не знаю. Не мой фетиш. - К сожалению в игре не реализована галерея и нельзя освежить воспоминания интересующей вас сценой после прохождения игры. Так что сохраняйтесь почаще. - В игре не реализована система облачных сохранений, достижения, карточки и задние фоны.[hr][/hr] The first season is, although very high quality, but a prologue to the main game. In the background, we were shown that an epidemic was beginning, we were introduced to the heroines, and after reading the novel in full, I was not disappointed and I really wanted to both develop the relationship with the heroines further, and to understand whether this game really has a worthwhile plot or whether it is just a nominal decoration here. for 18+ content! But taking into account its ambiguity, I recommend buying the game at a discount or in a set so that the game will definitely hit the emotions. - The gameplay is a visual novel in which, depending on our choices, characteristics are pumped up. How this affects the progression in the first season is unclear, but let’s hope that the author will use this leveling in the game in the future. - It will take 90-120 minutes to read completely. - The plot of the game so far is simple, light, uncomplicated with humor; there are definitely no deep plots or unexpected twists in the first season. - 9 scenes 18+ await us. - The author gives you the opportunity to turn off unwanted content (Trances or futa) at the start; I don’t know exactly how much of it is in the game. Not my fetish. - Unfortunately, the game does not have a gallery and you cannot refresh your memories with a scene that interests you after completing the game. So save often. - The game does not have a cloud saving system, achievements, cards or backgrounds.[hr][/hr] 第一季虽然质量很高,但只是主线游戏的序章。在背景中,我们看到了一场流行病的开始,我们认识了女主角,在完整阅读了小说之后,我并没有感到失望,我真的很想进一步发展与女主角的关系,并了解这款游戏是否真的有一个有价值的情节,或者它是否只是这里名义上的装饰。适合 18+ 内容!但考虑到它的模糊性,我建议以折扣价或成套购买游戏,这样游戏肯定会触动你的情感。 - 游戏玩法是一部视觉小说,根据我们的选择,特性会得到提升。 这对第一季的进展有何影响尚不清楚,但让我们希望作者将来会在游戏中使用这种升级。 - 完整阅读需要 90-120 分钟。 - 到目前为止,游戏情节简单、轻松、幽默,第一季绝对没有深刻的情节或意想不到的转折。 - 9 个 18 岁以上的场景等着我们。 - 作者让您有机会在开始时关闭不需要的内容(恍惚或 futa);我不知道游戏中到底有多少这样的内容。不是我的癖好。 - 不幸的是,游戏没有画廊,您无法在完成游戏后用您感兴趣的场景刷新您的记忆。所以经常保存。 - 游戏没有云保存系统、成就、卡片或背景。
[h1]종합평가 : Tier - C (3 티어)[/h1] [i]Alex는 Woodsville이라는 작은 마을의 여성들로 가득 찬 집에서 살고있습니다. 23살의 나이로 무직 백수 한량이지만, 그의 집은 부유하여 풍족한 삶을 누렸죠. 하지만 그런 풍요로웠던 삶도 오늘까지였습니다. 바람난 남편에게 분노한 어느 여성 과학자의 복수로 시작된 전염병이 곧 그들이 살고 있는 마을을 덮칠 것입니다. 그리고 이 바이러스의 영향은 Alex가 상상할 수 없는 방식으로 그의 삶을 변화시키게 됩니다.[/i] ------------------------------------------ 리뷰에 앞서, 시즌 1과 시즌 2가 통합되었습니다. 시즌 1은 이미지 렌더 2,016개, 애니메이션 39개 였으며, 가격은 12,500원 이었고 시즌 2는 이미지 렌더 1,756개, 애니메이션 17개에 가격은 11,000원 이었습니다. 이미지 3,772개, 애니메이션 56개 가지고 23,500원이면 솔직히 말이 안되게 비싸죠. 더욱이 시즌 이라고 할 수 없고 그냥 에피소드라고 해야됩니다. 이점은 개발자도 알고 있는지 이후 DLC부터는 에피소드라고 표현하더군요. 아무튼 이젠 하나로 통합되면서 가격은 11,000원으로 인하되었습니다. 아직도 분량대비 적절한 가격이라는 생각은 들지 않지만 그럼에도 전에 비하면 훨씬 나아졌다고 생각합니다. 물론 통합되기 전에 구입한 사람들은 손해입니다. 개발자도 그냥 60% 할인하는거랑 같다고 생각하라더군요. 개인적으로는 좀 비호감스러운 게임입니다. [h3]첫째, 초기에는 오류도 많았고, skip도 불가능 했습니다.[/h3] 특히 skip의 경우, 기능 자체는 있지만 옵션에서 unseen 항목이 없어서 처음 플레이 할때는 무조건 광클을 해야만 했습니다. 다행히도 지금은 이런점들은 대부분 수정되었습니다. [h3]둘째, 비호감 주인공[/h3] 주인공이 어디 좀 정신적으로 하자가 있는 사람처럼 행동합니다. 유쾌한 블랙 코미디 같은걸 의도했는지 모르겠지만 그냥 나이값 못하는 어디 특수 학급 장미반 친구 같은 느낌이에요. 그와는 별개로 주인공은 한량이지만 아버지가 물려준 재산으로 부유하게 사는데 특히 그들이 살고있는 집도 주인공 명의로 된 집이어서 나머지 구성원들이 주인공에게 얹혀 사는 구조라고 작중 대사로도 나옵니다. 그런데 게임상에서는 LandLady, Roommate 라고는 하지만 당연히 실제로는 가족관계 입니다. 즉, Landlady 라면서 세입자한테 얹혀산다? 명칭 자체가 잘못됐죠. 그리고 가족관계임에도, 그집 막내 딸만 혼자 일본 사람 입니다. 이름은 Aiko 이고, 외모도 동양인인데 가족이라는게 좀 이질감이 듭니다. 배다른 동생이라고 설정할 수도 있겠지만 그렇다면 언니들은 Melisssa , Alice 같은 이름인데 왜 혼자만 굳이 일본 이름을 쓸까요. [h3]셋째, 강요받는 듯한 후타나리[/h3] 이 게임만의 특징으로, 후타나리를 활성화 시킬 수 있습니다. 그렇게되면 몇몇 등장인물들이 후타나리가 됩니다. 그런데 문제는 후타나리를 활성화 시켰을때의 컨텐츠가 더 많다는 겁니다. 심지어 대화문을 보면 후타나리인게 정사처럼 느껴집니다. 예를들어 Brenda 라는 캐릭터가 후타나리 중 한명인데 처음에 Brenden 이라는 이름에서 개명했다는 식의 언급과 근황은 말해주기 좀 그러니 주인공에게 직접 살펴보라는 대사가 있습니다. 이게 Having a HARD Time처럼 후타나리가 여자랑 하는거면 괜찮은데.. 문제는 남자랑 하니까 존나 역겹습니다. 미트스핀 아시죠? 그거에요. 비활성화 시키고 플레이해도 되긴 하지만 뭔가 동떨어진 느낌을 지울수가 없습니다. 그리고 가뜩이나 부족한 분량에 컨텐츠까지 나누니 더 짧게 느껴집니다. [h3]마무리 지으며..[/h3] 단점만 얘기했는데 게임의 주제는 흥미로우며, 렌더링 또한 준수한 편입니다. 특히 애니메이션은 속도감이 있어서 괜찮았습니다. 하지만 개발자의 태도부터 시작해서 초반의 각종 문제점들을 생각하면 결코 추천하고 싶지는 않습니다.
There isn't much, in either Season One or Two. Feels like the beginning of a game that got sold as two different games.
