Another game with a well-deserved 5 stars. If you want a cool, edgy anti-hero who can fight against his trauma in satisfying and meaningful story beats, this is it. Psychological without being preachy, edgy without being cringe, and action-movie cool without destroying your suspension of disbelief. The erotic scenes have the magic, since they are SEXY, as they are fueled by who the characters are and how they feel toward each other. Start with the prologue so you can see the marked improvement in the development and rendering quality. Music is also a bunch of bangers.

A good game that didn't quite work out for me personally but easily can be 5/5 for you. Coherent story (as for the genre). Bunch of potential LIs to collect harem for. 2 distinct path with blackmail-dom or tender love. In general gave me a really strong Yakuza vibe. Has its share of WTF moments, but overall pretty decent. If you are looking for a quick standart fap game, there are better options. If you are game for a porn version of Yakuza, with a bit wierdness here and there, be sure to give it a try.

Good, has an actual story with semi believable characters. Which is a lot better than most games here. So far the choices seem rather .. unimpactful. You choose between love and corruption but both result in the same scene's but with slightly different dialog. Still giving this a 5 star instead of a 4 because it's good for what it is. I did like the prologue more than the actual game itself. I think the main game has some scene's that made me go "Huh?". For example Lila knows how to swim, but for what ever reason doesn't know how to float in water? Huh? And when Jasmine and her sister follow you home after a rough night, instead of finding a decent way for them to sleep, you make them sit on the stair and fall asleep there. Not only that, the little sister is held in place by NOTHING at all. And she is a deep sleeper? So if she falls during her sleep it's just game over for her. I know it's very nitpicky, but I'm just surprised dev didn't write it better. It's such a in your face, weirdly written scene to make them sleep on a stair case. Surely you were not out of assets? Again, did like the game though, 5 stars.

I'm giving this game 3 stars. It features a mobster MC who is also a principal at an academy, attractive girls, a "harem," and action, but it fails in the gameplay, especially at the beginning. This is based on Version 0.12.0b . The Good: There are some very attractive girls . The story is interesting . There is sound and music , which helps improve the experience. I like that it's not an easy harem for the MC. Although there's interest between him and the girls, he hasn't advanced much with some of them yet, and it seems like there will be conflict with a few. The Bad: The different changes in the gameplay . There is little +18 content . (I'm not asking for the MC to have sex with the girls right away, but we are all here for a reason, and there are many ways to have more content without involving the protagonist). I already mentioned that the MC doesn't have a "very easy harem," but there are many girls, some without boyfriends or other love interests. The ones who did have boyfriends—their boyfriends are jerks, and they happen to be single just when the MC appears. It would be more realistic if they had other love interests, and that could lead to more content. In summary, it's an enjoyable game that can be slow at the start. But you should give it a chance.

It starts out pretty rough in terms of gameplay, it felt like it was going for a sandbox, which it later abandoned, but it gets better, switching to more of a normal VN format. It's an often heavy story, though it doesn't always pull off the scenes, it gets mostly better at it as it goes.

DropOut Saga [v0.12.0b] A story-heavy mafia-school drama with a compelling split-personality MC, held back by a glacial pace and a frustrating lack of intimate payoff. + Gripping, Well-Told Story: The narrative is consistently praised as "intriguing," "top-notch," and "one of the very best." The internal dialogue with the MC's "dark side" is a standout feature mentioned by many. + Complex, Mature Characters: The cast is a major strength, with reviewers highlighting "well-written," "multi-dimensional" LIs and a "capable," "mature adult" MC who stands out from typical protagonists. + High-Quality Visuals & Presentation: The game uses detailed Honey Select renders, smooth animations, and subtle facial expressions to convey emotion and advance the story effectively, noted as a "fresh air" in the genre. – Glacial Romantic Pace: This is the #1 complaint. For a 3+ year old game, the sexual content is extremely limited, focusing almost exclusively on two LIs and leaving a large cast of introduced girls completely untouched, which multiple reviews call "underwhelming" and "frustrating." – Pacing & Identity Crisis: The plot drifts from its initial "corrupting headmaster" premise into a broader mafia story. – The Pain of Potential: The slow update cycle and minimal NSFW progress for a large cast make the wait for meaningful content feel especially long, a common sentiment in the feedback. DropOut Saga is a must-play for players who prioritize a deep, well-crafted story and complex characters over frequent lewd content. If you're here for a quick harem fix, the slow burn will likely extinguish your interest.

Wow! Just wow! What an amazing game! ... That's what I thought after first several hours. There's a thrilling story that gives sometimes goosebumps, sometimes laugh, sometimes smile. It's really entertaining and one of the best plots to my taste with capable MC that takes care about important people in his life. I also like the idea of talking with myself . It's much better than descriptions of feeling or regular thoughts, which I sometimes skip in other games as they're usually the most boring part of the story. There are some illogical things however, like what the hell is with MCs phone battery. It dies often, when it's needed. Dude, you can afford a good new one and it's literally a matter of life to keep it charged, but of course phone appeared to be charged just after sex scene and shower (yeah, I bet he thought of going to room and charging phone in a middle of the night just before shower). Or when LIs are waiting for MC at a cold winter night sitting/sleeping on a ground in front of house. I mean, it's sweet and it's not a 2 meters snow winter and -30 ° C, but just give them a god damn blanket or at least jackets instead of pyjamas and shorts. If it comes to LIs this game offer several great females. Everyone is different and their issues aren't turning them into bitches what I very appreciate after one of previous titles I went through. They're literally all very well written and they may be one of the best "casts" I met in harem porn games. But... there always have to be some but. It's quite unbalanced slow burner and I expected a bit more diversity in sex partners for over 3 years old game. It has scenes with only 2(3) LIs. There's a lot of talking with girls and I like that part (actually, romance and dating sim were the main reasons I picked this title), but in that pace we'll find MC having something serious with them in next decade. There are just too many LIs introduced in one time and with so slow pace there's no chance to develop sexual relationships with them. Graphics are on very high level. I'm not a fan of Honey Select, but I can appreciate details, smoothness and proportions. They're just very pretty compared to other HS games. Dev also decided that it's better to put some more effort and visualize as many things as possible instead of writing what's going on. It's not always possible, but looking on what's happening instead of reading "girl is scratching her hair", "MC tickles girls" or "she's nervously looking around" is a nice breathe of fresh air in porn games. The only graphic flaw for me is that the faces look all similar. Lila to Asuna and Ingrid or Jasmin to Sophia, but of course Jasmin don't look like Julie and they're sisters . At the beginning I even thought Lila and Asuna were twins. Ok... so why only 4 stars? Story and characters are really amazing and I like graphics, but over 3 years old games and with some LIs MC is on level of hugging or kissing in cheek. Tons of text and learning characters, more like in a book or SFW game. Still recommending this for everyone who likes to play for the story and I'd start it again, if I could rewind time, but for me it's just not enough for 5 stars, if it comes to so long and old game. Hope to change my review in future, but looking on updates frequency it may not be too early.

This game is pretty great - maybe not perfect, but certainly deserving 5 stars. The story, world building and dialog are all very good. The characters are varied and very hot. There isn't a ton of variety visually, but enough to keep things interesting. My only real (minor) gripe would be that sometimes the story feels like it's getting bogged down with too much dialog and exposition. Despite the fact that I like the story, I'm still tempted to hit the ctrl key sometimes to move things along. My other minor (not-so-real) complaint is that earlier dialog had the MC giggling.... This MC is not a giggler.

This has been a great find. The story telling is top notch. It has me really invested in learning what happens next. It has also been refreshing to have an MC who is a mature adult lol. I really hope dev continues the momentum. The artwork is fantastic It would be great to see this story out.

Yet another game where getting all the girls is far from the most absurd thing and there's not even any magic involved this time so that's kind of impressive. The most absurd part is how dramatic everything is and some of the drama is quite cliché but I don't even mind that, it might even feel like a guilty pleasure, the only issue is the quantity. Overall I did enjoy it but I think that it would be a better story if the author would just dial back the drama from 11 to 9 and that alone would make 4 starts for me. Does it make sense for the author to make it 4 stars for people like me or to keep what others clearly already enjoy more than I did? In many ways, maybe not, but if the main goal was to improve quality, it seems like a good direction to me.

DropOut Saga is a gripping visual novel that masterfully explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and survival. With stunning art, a deeply emotional narrative, and complex character development, it pulls you into a dark, unforgiving world where every choice matters. It’s a bold, unforgettable story that leaves a lasting impact.

This game has some decent visuals, but it fails to deliver in other key areas that make it a clear skip. Mechanically it's clear the dev doesn't know how they want to build the game, as you can see the game switch between a VERY rudimentary sandbox and long-winded story segments without warning. I can understand the dev is figuring out where they want to take the game, but as a first impression it leaves much to be desired. This issue also messes with the pacing since the framing of the game as a "school headmaster corrupting the students" seems to be left at the wayside pretty fast in favor of some kind of "home life" being created for the MC, which IMO is not necessary. The story presents some interesting ideas, like the MC having a literal "dark side" that he has to contend with, but besides that I feel the plot puts its fingers into too many pies without executing any of them particularly well: - Perverted headmaster? There are games for that. - Mafia plot? There are games for that. - "Adopting" a wayward girl after a chance encounter and creating a pseudo-family? There's a game for that too. These plot points are also not well integrated at all, resulting in an already slow story being progressed between three actual plots. The result is a glacially slow pacing that wastes your time. For reference, I started skimming near the end of the Prologue, and by Chapter 1 I was straight-up skipping to see if there was any sex. This leads me to the NSFW scenes- simply put, they're decent. The visuals in the screenshots are what you get, but the time it takes to get there is not worth it. There's also not enough sex scene diversity; 75% of the game's sex scenes are with the same woman over and over again, and the other 25% includes a few with the girl you "adopt" and one with a woman from your past. THERE ARE NO SCENES WITH THE GIRLS AT THE SCHOOL (as of 0.12.0b). Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a slow burn, but the fact is there's nothing "burning" with two thirds of the cast. The entire point of a harem is variety, and the game is not delivering on that. The best I can say about this game is that you *might* like the story, but if you're looking for anything else it's not worth your time.

I'm torn on this game, but overall unfortunately I don't think I'd really recommend it. Let's start with the good. I personally enjoy harem games, and you meet many fun potential LIs in the prologue. The story is interesting enough. It's basically a teacher-student AVN, but the MC also has ties to the mafia. Honestly not sure if this is a great blend, but the thing I like the most is the MC has a 'bad influence' inner voice that also shows up in scenes and talks to you. I like this idea a lot, and I think the MC grappling with himself and his other half is well executed. After a while though these positives wear thin. Despite meeting those interesting LIs, basically all of the NSFW scenes are with the same 2 characters over and over. I also don't really like sandbox games. I prefer straightforward AVNs with some branching if well done. I think some sandbox games work, but not this one. Just in the prologue the dev explains all these different features and menus, but then half of them don't do anything/are planned for later implementation. Seems like the dev is biting off more than they can chew. It would be better for the game to just be more focused instead of spreading itself so thin.

V0.12.0b if i was to pay a developer to work with me on bringing one of my visions to life, it would be this one. hands down, no second thoughts. been here on this site on one account or another since it was a month old and this is the first developer i feel this way about. don't get me wrong, there are some really good games and VN's on this site but few have me feeling and fewer still have me so completely hooked that i actively get excited about an update. the amount that can make me drop all plans when an update drops? one hand with fingers left over for the count. high praise from this fussy old bar steward with picky taste. AND my favourite tag is not even here....holy sheep biscuits!! sure there are a few slips like the lack of a proof reader, but the few errors or missing words are few and far between, which i am normally very unforgiving of. i am not any less of an arsehole so don't go getting ideas some of the scenes are brilliant and i think to myself 'yes! this dev gets it' and then the next erotic scene the choices of shot are anything BUT intimate and i think 'ok i thought too soon'. imagine you have a foot fetish (i don't personally as i am repulsed but we are all different....you fucking weirdos ). you get a scene where the shots are of individual toes and soles of the feet and then comes the NEXT erotic scene and every shot is the top of someone's head. yep we go from action shots to wallpaper shots. minor flaw but to me, not erotic so breaks a tiny bit of flow for me. otherwise, it is bloody hard NOT to be absorbed by this. not reached current content yet as my most recent PC has windows 11 so i have had to resort back to an older (like me) model, but it is NOT a bad thing having to start anew, it is an actual pleasure. look through my review history and see how fucking rare THAT is. amazing job dev. a decent plot exceptional in delivery and pacing. if i die with a boner then just know you had a hand in it....or on it you lucky devil you haha truly, thank you

Game version: 0.12.0b Story-wise, it's one of the very best games I have ever played on F95. While the plot is nothing special (Mainly a harem game, mixted with "Pervy headmaster corrupting all of the students" and "Apex killer hunted by his past"). The presentation, on the other side, is top-notch: Reasonable most of the time, intriguing af, displays both dominant and soft sides of the MC (while most games only focus on the MC being bad-assed and overpowered all of the time..), it shows a lot of effort put into each NPC's "lore"/ background story and personality, it has politics, romance, brutality and the exact tiny amount of NON-cringe humor in it that I like. It made me laugh, almost cry and always pinned me to the screen. Bravo. Also also like the fact that the developer emphasizes micro-expressions/ facial expressions so much. It reminds me of old school thrillers and times of drama acting where skill was more important than prestige. The visual quality is still "good" in 2025, although it's clearly showing its age. The animations are fluid and offer a little bit of variation (= positions). I do NOT like the current UI, it's too tiny and the placement of the buttons is not optimal, especially inside the MC's office. The old UI in the Prologue was so much better, I'd gladly have it back. While the developer still adjusts a lot (adding new menus, buttons etc.), but the buttons remain too small. Another criticism is the fact that this game has is in active development since 2022.. and while it certainly has a large plot to follow/ play trough already, the scene-department is still way too tiny: I count a total of just 9 (!) sex scenes. And these nine sex scenes are only and with the same two LI's from the MC's harem. This is what I call "content" and it's very underwhelming. The soundtrack was good at first, but the few tracks keep repeating themselves too often (= playlist is too small to be justified). TLDR: Definitely and highly recommend if you took the time to dig into the story.

4.5/5 One of the most intriguing games out there with such complex and compelling story in which youll be guessing in your sit what will happen next. Interested in the mafia world, then this game will be for you. A game in which you feel the A Scenes are not forced and do belong to how the story progress and not out of nowhere. Story: 10/10 Character Desgin: 9/10 Story Pace: 8.5/10 A Scene: 8/10

This VN itself is pretty intruiging. The artwork is great and the characters are very likeable. I am not the biggest fan of the story / background since it is pretty average and nothing new. (mafia mob fights - MC wants to get out of there - has to do one last job - sorrow and revenge vibes for the MC) However I see the effort the devs did there, so kudos to them. Also the MC himself is a pretty cool character. The Prologue is old and a bit boring - not a lot of stuff happening here - but needed for the background story. Sex scenes are great, but right now there are most likely only scenes with you and your companions... the VN ends where it gets more interesting with the different interactable characters that are totally 18 years old. All characters have a love and lust stat which you can influence with your choices, however the choices dont seems to make such a hugh difference at the current state of this game - probably something that will have a bigger impact far in the story. I am looking forward for this game - however I think there is still a lot of content that has to come. For me it feels like we are like 15% in the story. (Review for v0.11.1b - (Prologue for 0.6.9.a))

For a First Game i need to say its really good! You see how much work and thoughts flowed in this Game. How the producer of this game is learning and doing better with time. The first few long conversations were a little hard to keep track because you werent hooked to have interests to read everything but later in game you are more hooked and the conversations are more interesting and important for the reader. Something that triggered me too was the Faces. They tend to be similiar what made it for me hard to seperate random dudes like officers or russians. Or Julie and Yasmin (or Jasmine? idk) but you see the names and later you see the differences and its easier. So maybe my Problem . But i like the enviroment, the Story, the Girls, the badass MC and the animations. Not like eternum lvl but still good. I would like more NSFW animations (depending on situations) more POV or from further away. Thank you for this game and I hope I am not dropping your motivation and you stay positive with your Work because I learned here things and I dont think i am alone. I am not writing often reviews with much detail (here, I need... I just wanted to give 5 stars and say some words ) I want the see how the Story goes in the future and I will wait and look once in a while and be happy to read and see more. Thanks for your work and stay positive! <3

DropOut Saga [v0.11.1b] [LazyBloodlines] Good stuff, I'm following this project for quite some time and still coming back for more. Updates aren't fast, story is okay and sometimes pretty interesting, HS2 models and animations look great, some characters can steal the show and MC is quite looker too. Can't wait to see a new update, support the dev. Story - 3,7/5. I'm intersted in it. Tho, some moments can be cringe asf, still like it. Choices - 2,7/5. Points. Gameplay - 3/5. Semi-kinetic VN. Characters - 3,5/5. Not super deep, but I care about them. MC - 3,9/5 I like him. Models/animations/textures - 4,3/5

The Prologue was great and with excitement i jump into the game. It turns out to be running around in circles with young adults which have nothing to do with his mission being a head master. The story telling does not make any scenes. None of the choices lead to geting the MC back on track .... choices are all on love tri-angle only. What has Jasmin got to do with the mission? No connections at all so as Ashly & the half Japanese. His mission is to establish political connection and the only person is the mayor’s daughter. The police chief son turns out to be a dick, so i really don’t know where this game is heading too. Maybe a harem of college students? The second self is a pain in the ass... making irritating commends. A single conversation with one character takes 5 to 10 minutes which has no influence in the game just beating around the jungle to pass time. The two women in the house behavior is ridicules asking question every time the MC walks into the house. That nerd Ava wants to know everything regardless of how new she is to the house. I suspect she must be hiding something. The sex scenes are repeated with these two women and a dead woman & already boring. Now Isebella comes join the house which has nothing to do with Packs or Russians. I recommend to dialogues are cut down to improve the game and focus on the mission rather than spending so much time on students not connected to the mission. I am not sure why no investigation on the man who shoot him.... Nothing so far on that... I was expecting something that, but nothing so far.
