Evos Rising

Review for v0.1a I think there's always something to be said for games that feel like they have a soul to them, and this strikes me as one of those games. It's not necessarily doing anything stellar and you could make an argument for a lot of aspects falling somewhere in the "average" range, but if you find AVNs to be a sort of guilty pleasure like I do, games like this can still really hit. That's not to insult the game either. It's a decent start to a "people have superpowers" setting with an opening version that doesn't end within 10 minutes. Of course it's still early, but it gives a good taste for some of the girls and teases at the grander plot. That being said, the visuals still fall middle of the road for honey select, it still takes place mostly around school like so many other AVNs, and there's moments where I find the writing for the MC to be a little weak. Girls are interesting enough though so far. I think the girl who's power is that everyone forgets her after not seeing her for a few minutes is an interesting premise for a love interest. I also find the non lewd scene animations pretty charming, probably BECAUSE of the jank lol. Like most early AVNs, just kinda gotta see where it goes. But I'd check it out again in the future.

PROS + At the start MC gets something, runs away from police, then gives it to lady named Evelyn, says all he want is his life, his memories back, she says ''You'll have to relive your memories, rebuild who you were, if you stay true to yourself, there won't be any issues'' and we start to see his memories as we play, and this is like Narrative of the game, kinda interesting, but wheter you like it or not is kinda subjective. There are some superpowers and stuff involved as well, and some mysterious stuff. + The game starts with non-lewd, kinda interesting animation, not too long, but still kinda immersive for the story part of the game. + Sex scene animations have above-average physics. + Female models mostly look good. CONS - Penny's and MC's relationship feels a bit weird, almost as if it needs an official ''patch'' to make any sense. - Visual quality-wise, the game looks kinda old and bad, hair, texture details, etc, not really good. Needs lots of improvements. - Sex scenes were way too close positions with kinda bad angles, the game needs more attractive, and a bit farther animation angles, and better positions. VERDICT Seems like an average game for now, depending on improvements, it could be good, but for now a bit too improvement needy.

This debut visual novel delivers a emotionally rich story that prioritizes character depth and meaningful choice-making. As a first project, it demonstrates impressive ambition, blending narrative sophistication with polished presentation. While aimed at an adult audience, the novel focuses on relationships, personal growth, and emotional intimacy , avoiding explicit detail and instead emphasizing atmosphere, tension, and storytelling craft.

Definitely a good first version. The models are very attractive, several sex scenes which is a nice surprise for a first release. The story is decently interesting but is definitely not anything novel. I hate how many games get around the AI CG tag by using 1000 AI animations so I appreciate that if there are any AI animated scenes they are at least done well enough that it's difficult to notice. The sneak preview of upcoming patches shows some dedication to the project as well. Will be following this and excited to see how future versions turn out.
