Kamogawa Island

Love the UI. Love the girls. Love the models used here. I am a big fan of slice of life genre and incest and this game ticks both of those boxes. Would reallly love a gallery which shows animated scenes and something to tell when someone is streaming on twotch. Also there's a lot of side content that they have to painfully find because theres no guide in game. Woould really love a better in game hint system for side content. Everything else is just perfect. Would really love more content.

Good amount to do despite only being released a month ago. Animations aren'y anything special but still solid. Nice UI, nice models (faces look wonky tho a lot the time apart from Veronica), and includes nice stills either through collectibles or just normal dialogue Only cons being the faces, little to no indication of side content (character pages will say you've completed everything, but there's still several scenes left), and AI slop for setting decoration here or there. High hopes for this one

This is such a SNOOZE FEST. I really love the ART, it is the reason why I even downloaded the game. I also love the LI especially the MILF Jessie (She is the sole reason I stayed in the game) and her daughter Vanessa (although a little annoying on how excessively vain and narcissist she is). Basically, it's a slice of life game that just keeps on yapping over and over about anything while trying so hard just to add in so much fillers to make the content unnecessarily longer. With that, instead of making the game better, it just became boring especially Zoe and Emmie's parts. I struggled a couple of days trying to come back and forth to the game, gave it a couple of chances everyday within the whole week but in the end, I was barely able to finish it. I'm still open to see for more improvement on this. I'll just leave it at 3 star for now.

0.2 review I have to ask, because this bugged the shit out of me, the whole time I played this game--why oh why do all the girls have triangle mouths? It's so distracting and dumb. This feels like a lame version of so many other games, primarily Mythic Manor (just without the monster girls). AFAICT, there's only 3 locations in the game, and they're pretty pointless unless an event trigger is there. There's a coffee shop where you can waste money for nothing. Apparently it's supposed to give you energy? That's not a system in this game! Making money is pointless outside of the occasional event in which the girls FORCE you to pay for THEIR stuff. THAT shit? Intolerable. They all have jobs and income, they can pay for their own shit. The thing that made me stop playing, in addition to what I've mentioned above, is the stupid To-Do List. I had nothing to do with the chaos that happened, the sink, router, or anything else. And now, not only is the culprit of this disaster getting away, but now ***I*** have to go and buy parts and fix the fucking sink? When I had absolutely nothing to do with any of it? When you know exactly who the culprit is? No wonder the MC's dad didn't want him hanging around you. Infuriating. You get points for a decent UI and having a gyaru slut. Fuck off otherwise.

Gonna be a short review for me, because its a short game. Honestly the game is around a 3.5 for me, but I like the prospect enough and the developer seems really open so I'll round it up to a 4. The girls are great, I'm glad the dev is running with these koikatsu models, because it is a marked improvement from a vast majority of other koikatsu games. This game has a lot more soul than other reviews I've read give it credit for. The screensavers which act as loading screens and the general UI elements are very polished and certainly do make playing the game feel better. Now the issues. 1. Animations are not coded seamlessly with text and dialogue, so dialogue doesn't run while animations play (dev if you're reading please consider addressing this) 2. I am personally not a fan of the renpy schedule based quest progression system, but its not too bad in this game compared to others I have played 3. The map is pretty barren, and I think the process of unlocking certain locations and what not isn't exactly intuitive, even though there are good verbal hints here and there. Exceptional Stuff 1. The photography element of this game is great 2. Jennifer's post questline system is amazing, I look forward to similar systems being extended to other characters 3. Just scratches the itch for me These criticisms could be make or break for some people, but I encourage people to try the game nonetheless and provide constructive criticism for the dev so he can improve on his product, which I think he is keen on doing.

Review for v0.2 I really thought I was going to enjoy this one more than I did. The more I played this the more annoyed I was getting, and then I reached a point where I asked myself if I even really cared about any of the girls. Honestly? Not really! To get it out of the way, the game does look good for Koikatsu. Girls are hot, everything has a nice clean look to it, some nice animations, etc. That part is fine. So you're introduced to the concept of Kamogawa island. A very sexually free place devoid of judgment. A "hedonistic paradise unlike any other." What does this mean in actuality? Not much. I think it's used as an excuse for a few of the girls to be a bit more sexually open with you and justify how some of them are camgirls/hostesses but truly I feel like the whole idea of this pleasure town or whatever could be removed and nothing would change. The game itself is a pretty typical RenPy sandbox. Girls are all on schedules, which means you have to interact with them at specific times on certain days to progress. Which is incredibly annoying when 3 events fall ONLY on a Monday and doing one skips the whole day. There's a couple locations with not much to do, and eventually the "plot" kinda leads you into helping one of the girls build a pleasure resort that you manage. Which so far is just a place where you click a button to make a number go up. The rest of this is by and large personal preference. This is a femdom game, and done in a way that's just not for me. I'm sorry but Zoe's first (and only) lewd scene so far being her pushing you down, calling you a sick pervert, and giving you a foot job does not do it for me. But for some people that's a "hell yeah" and fair enough there. I would not have minded Jessie being a more possessive motherly type, but it seems she's leaning more towards corporate mistress and again not as much my thing. Where it really gets me though is how the MC plays into it all. I get the intention is likely for him to be a less present self insert type, but even for that he is incredibly boring to play as. I'd say like 80% of the game is you being at everyone's whim and you just kind of go along with it because you're a pushover, and then only after you do enough shit for them they say "ok I guess I can reward you with a sex scene." Not one interesting bit of dialogue from the MC in the entire game. For me there's much more fun ways to play into the girls dynamics, and him being this stuttering subservient NPC is not it. One of the girls plotlines so far is you just watching her camgirl streams and donating money. Dude you live in what's suppose to be a sex paradise, come on now. The girls themselves suffer from a pacing issue I think. Somehow events are both dragged out in terms of progression and at the same time too short for shit I'd actually want to see. Talking to Emmie 5 times in a row at the hostess club before anything interesting happens sucks, but I would have enjoyed a much longer scene with them on the beach. Again just not really for me I suppose. I find most of the dynamics the MC has with the girls lame, the two streamer/camgirls I have no real interest in, and the rest of them I have yet to be truly pulled in by their events so far.

Review based on v0.1.3.1: Good game overall, it has potential but the early game sandbox is especially bad at the moment, mostly just due to the way new content is unlocked and the lack of content in general. Definitely needs more direction in the early game to lead you to unlocking new areas/girls faster, because the constant wandering & random clicking until you find someone new isn't a good gameplay loop. That being said though, grinding through is worth it. The girls all look great and the H-scenes are very good. I think once the dev fleshes out the world a bit more it's going to be a good game. Excited to see what comes next.

Great game, I really like the look of the characters, and the ui looks clean, like the concept of the game alot hopefully it's stays more on the vanilla or slightly kinky side and don't step into ntr, besides that the game looks very solid and I like the introduction

This game had a lot of potential, but ultimately, it was squandered by the decisions made in the narrative. Basically set within a sex paradise with no sex at all in the environment. The only events are purely with you in the middle of them. While the main heroines are genuinely interesting, I do believe that they would have shined more if the plot was different. If the decision was made to only have the MC be the only active male, then it could have easily been changed to have a private island, normal holiday resort, general town, etc. I get the impression that another game was planned but thrown away during development. I would have given it a 4 if the setting fit better.

definitely an above average 3dcg sandbox game, though there's not that much content at the moment and that its biggest flaw. A lot of empty space, some galleries not working, classic sandbox grinding but I believe it can become a really good game with some time. The girls are good looking and some of the scenes are really hot too, some ideas like taking photos of the girls with different costumes and the livestreams are well implemented i'll be checking future updates for sure, and i'd recommend you do the same.

this is... good. really good even. there's a dozen 3dcg sandbox/visual novel games with a dozen characters and they all have their "unique quirks" yadda yadda but here, these characters feel like people, that lived their lives before you showed up, even if they're a little desperate but it's porn it's a bit of a prerequisite and despite that, they're still fun to be around. i also like the character the MC gets, a man of few words that likes making people happy, but he still gets caught off guard every once in a while. I know it sounds like pretty basic characterization but holy shit so many games have little to no MC personalities or god forbid, they're actively poorly written and actively detract from the writing (scarlet law suffers immensely from this post-rewrite). and this isn't just subtext that i made up, others know him and call attention to his behavior, which makes him feel like a human being and not just a vessel for waiting for the next choice to pop up. speaking of writing, this is solid stuff, the back and forth everyone has is pretty good, barring Zoe and Vanessa, who's dialogue between them so far is two 12-year olds calling each other stinky, the teasing is top notch, i just hate that so far that's basically it. having a girl strip naked in front of you and then going "alright let's leave" and your character just goes "yeah ok" is painful. having a girl dress in a uniform made to be slutty, show the hell off and then just go back like nothing happened feels insulting, if this stuff doesn't get continuations on i will riot i have to make a correction because i didn't know this was a thing. so apparently there's a full-on management system with vanessa after the bath shoot? haven't touched it much but this is so much more effort than other games that not mentioning it would feel criminal. wonder if the main 3 are gonna get mini managements like this, Jessie with the resort, Vannie with her socials and Zoe with her streaming. it'd be fun, which isn't something i think about when playing these games, and if the rewards are numerous then hell yeah i'll do a little managing on the side while doing events, that's a great way to kill time instead of just going to bed and waiting it out sadly, there are negatives. this isn't a 5 star rating. the map is a little confusing to traverse. you click out of your room and get dropped facing the girls rooms and the kitchen and an arrow to go back. clicking it turns you around to face your door, the one across it that you cannot interact with, and the bathroom, which are all useless. you never need to go to the bathroom, even for events, you have a button to tp to your room, so you never need to click into it from an extra menu, and it'd make my brain not get confused when i click back into my room and then i remember i need to do an extra click. it's tiny but it's something that happens enough to be annoying. i'd also like to pick between the kitchen and living room to not have to scroll through both every time i wanna get to the balcony or something. minimizing clicks is important in a sandbox game like this, makes going around to look for things less tedious. also, the other locations need more stuff in them, right now, the beach is just for starting 1 girl's events and the same girl has 1 event later there, and that's it. the office could be replaced with 1 button to work barring the single event tied to going there. either these places need more flavor or just find a way to make the game work without them, which is kinda dumb, so just make more stuff happen there. finally, just the standard "not a lot of content" stuff, but it's early, that's expected, it just kinda sucks that everyone gets stuff but Zoe, rip I will keep an eye on this and see how it develops

It feels like the game is making fun of me, I understand that the genre is “sandbox”, but I have never seen such a slow game. You follow “hints”, events are not triggered, you just click on everything that is clicked every day

I see a milf, gyaru and busty neet... I gotta play it Reviewing as of 0.1b Pros: Hint system and biographies in place which are helpful Easy grind, not much to it which is nice The girls have their own quirks and personalities The models are made very well The H-scenes are decent, animations can use some work but it's good overall Around 1 hour to complete Cons: Little amount of content but that's to be expected in an early build No gallery Some "quests" could use some work Even the home map feels empty. Again, early build but still something to point out Conclusion: There's not a lot here right now but I do recommend playing this. You may appreciate the effort put in thus far and even just like playing the game. I can't wait for future updates!

Great game, I really like the look of the characters, and the ui looks clean, like the concept of the game alot hopefully it's stays more on the vanilla or slightly kinky side and don't step into ntr, besides that the game looks very solid and I like the introduction

Version tested : V 0.1b Honnestly, pretty well done for a start. Dialogues are logical, i feel like this game was not made by a 16 years old boy and that's nice. The girls are nice, it's not those default koikatsu characters but maybe more variations would be nice (like flat girls, some more thick ones or whatever). The "only" bad point for me is the animations. It's nice for a start as I said and it needs improvement. The sex scenes can be smoother, and the "penetration" scene can be more precise. But yes, this is a good start and I can't wait to see how it will go. Nicely done developer, continue on the same way !

Tl;Dr: Good start, but not much here at all. Come back later. The game has great presentation from the start. The typical horrid, same faced anime Koikatsu models actually look unique and appealing. The concept is interesting and sets the stage for fast lewd content to the side of a slow burn harem set up. Writing is actually decent for once, at least for character dialogue. What is currently rough about the project is the lack of stuff in general. Outside of their scripted affection gaining parts, the girls don't really do anything. Plus, there's barely any scenes with said girls. I think, not counting the twitch streamer, there's 2 sexual scenes. The only penetration we can watch is a couple banging at the gym. Plus, one of the girls lacks much content at all, which you discover very quickly. Because of that, the rest of the experience is dampened as you realize that there's not going to be much exciting to work towards. This game can very easily become a 5/5 masterpiece, and it can easily become abandoned. I feel like it's been shipped far too quickly. Despite creating this interesting world that should have sex around every corner, besides a few screens it feels barren. I'll eagerly keep my eye on this one, but I won't hold my breath. Also, there's not enough content to justify a 3 gig download at all. If this game becomes big, the dev better learn to compress. Again, probably another sign this was shipped too early. Best of luck to you, dev.

[v0.1a] Arguably I really haven't played enough to warrant a review but that's kind of my critique. I'm stuck by how empty the game is? After being dropped into it you're skipping through days to get the next interaction with a girl that's barely been introduced. I'm sure people are often annoyed by these long introductions in VNs but the point is to make you actually invested in the characters and showcase some lewdness to get you hooked. Right now I'm really not feeling any strong desire to keep playing. The character designs are good (for Koikatsu), I don't have any real complains about dialogue or personalities but it's also just generic harem VN stuff. The promotion and setting really emphasises the sex aspect but the game is surprisingly coy about it. TL;DR: why should I keep playing this game in particular when there's either better written translated japanese eroges, or the other hundreds of koikatsu VNs that gives you the porn from the start? My advice would be to have a proper introduction of the girls with the usual breast smothering and walking in on your sister childhood friend showering. Actually give me a reason to care about these people. Personally I'd also recommend redoing the house navigation. With how much dead space and vague hints the constant clicking around really got to me. I really don't think there's any gameplay reason for why going from the bedroom to living room should take more than one or two clicks. I think it's better to implement a minimap or pop-up menu.

I'm so used to games releasing their demos with like 1 scene and "tadaaah give us money now thank you" This review is made for the [v0.1a] , but this game really feels like a v0.1 you know what I mean? There was 2-3 solid hours (for me) of content which shows a really cool foundation for any new update. Also after playing it I saw the creator comment "This is my first game btw", I was really surprised! Didn't feel amateurish at all What I really liked what the dialogue! My god there were time where I was actually blushing, there's some real passion behind the lines, feels really human! There's a lot of teasing and I feel like it's taking it's sweet time (in a good way) to give us what we want, it's really well done and would love to see more of it! Not sure if it's RNG or if it's predetermined, but some events like "go see X at Y at the evening" don't happen every day, at first it seemed a bit grindy or tedious but by trying to get the event I've seen random ones I could've missed otherwise. There's a 4th main girl that's easily missable if you don't get her event at the beach in the morning One small detail that really helped was that hovering over interactable stuff changes the sprite so you can easily tell, the chair moving to show you can go to the kitchen was really cute to see There is some graphical bugs if you click or go to the wrong place that can overwrite other sprites. The developer said they are going to work on it but since it can be easily bypassed by rolling back, it wasn't that much of an issue for me I'm really hoping this project works out! Good luck for the devs, hope you people don't burn yourselves out
