Runaway Dreams
by Realor
Runaway Dreams is a game centered around Mila, our main protagonist, who dreams of traveling the world. Young, beautiful, and ambitious, she moves to a big city—a dream she has held since her childhood days in a peaceful village. However, as an adult navigating the bustling city, Mila is confronted with a harsh reality—wealth doesn’t simply fall into one's hands. To change the course of her life, she must take action, make difficult choices, and carve her own path to success… Formerly known as "Mila Story"

v0.106A - Initial Release
FMC: Size queen Larry: Complete idiot (He can be considered the MC since he and the FMC are somewhat in love, and he's supposed to be the one who gets NTR'd in a kinetic novel (not a game)) Just tried this game, and dude, it's a mess. The story's lame and overdone, like every other VN out there. Characters all talk like they're reading from the same script—super bland. And there's hardly anything to do; it's like they forgot to add the actual game. The art? Some of it's okay, but man, some of those expressions are just off, like uncanny valley stuff. Plus, the thing kept glitching out with error messages, totally killed the vibe. No background music either, so it feels empty. And get this, the dev's winging it without a solid plan, so don't hold your breath for updates. Save your time and skip this one for now Hard pass
The artwork is great. Love modelling agency angle. The storyline has great start to it, it's not perfectly realistic, however, i personally don't mind that while playing an NSFW game/VN. The storyline is hot, and that's what matters to me Being new, it's quite short, however I'm looking forward to seeing this grow with time!
I currently rate the game with mixed feelings. Judging by the version number, the game should have received a few updates by now, but it still feels like you're playing a first release, as the content is still very limited. Another downside is the description of the game. "To change the course of her life, she must take action, make difficult choices, and carve her own path to success..." There was only one decision, and even this was not implemented on one of the two paths, so you could only follow one path. As English is not my native language, I can't say anything about grammar and spelling, but the texts were quite understandable for me. The images are 95% good, some grimaces seem very exaggerated. Personally, I can't understand all the AI haters either. In my opinion, it's a big plus for a game if the images follow the same drawing style, regardless of whether they are drawn by yourself, pre-made assets are used, or AI generated. I'm currently giving it three stars because there are still some promises from the overview that need to be fulfilled. However, the game will be put on the watch list.
It's missing VN tag, it's pure text with images application. only positive thing about it is the art Story is not that interesting I'd read it, when playing such games, I read 2-3 slides and than go into click mode until I get to game play. Here I got back to menu... Maybe it's good that it's so short, but on the other hand... I don't know... generic story with good art doesn't fix the problem with that it's another VN on a market way too big.
Reviewing the game as of version [v0.106A] Gonna give this game two stars right now, not one star because there is potential here, but a lot of work needs to be done to turn this into a good game. -Just opening the game gave me several Ren'py error screens, seems like there is a coding issue for the splash screen. I caught other smaller coding issues, like a character speaking is not actually in the scene and has not yet been introduced to the player. -The dialogue feels hollow and flat. The characters all speak the same way for the most part. If names were turned off, it would be hard to tell who is speaking. -Story is not great so far and feels pretty rushed and contrived. -The dev has stated that they do not have a completed outline for how the game will progress or end, choosing to write as they go and leave room for supporters to influence the project. Not looking good for consistent updates or a cohesive narrative. -Currently no music or sounds in the game. -I'm fine with AI art being used, but you can tell there has not been a lot of work done to polish and improve the art. Some of the art is straight up bad. There is one picture that shows Mila running to her audition, and the pose makes no sense at all. -Currently a kinetic novel, though the use of the angel and demon girls on the banner would imply that there should be good/bad choices for the player to make. Maybe this feature has just not been implemented yet, and these characters do not yet make an appearance. Overall this is a rough start, and future updates aren't very promising. But there is potential here and I wish the dev the best of luck.
