Ren'Py - Completed - Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1] [Belle]

The sandbox element is annoying as hell, and there's a lot of parts that don't make sense (such as when you reveal Nell's dark secret). The game also sets it up as though it wants you to pursue every girl and make a harem, but the only harem ending has you becoming a tyrannical dictator and a villain. If you choose the good path, you're then forced to choose only a single LI to be with (though Selena and Lilith are the exception, as that's a throuple ending), then the epilogue slams you with guilt-ridden endings for all the other girls.
The story's pretty decent, and the renders (while needing a HD update) are also fairly good, but the mechanics and garbage endings ruin the game overall.

Very boring vanilla game.

The story is okay but it is just far too slow and gets boring quick.

The character are very boring, I liked the librarien but everyone else I just didn´t care.

The graphics and characters look very old and bad, the text is in the corner left instead of the middle which just makes it harder to read.

The sex scenes have some robotic animations and are mostly just vanilla stuff I didn´t find any hot.

The gameplay is typical sandbox mostly, with a time limit and a clue system that I actually liked.

But all in all not good just kinda boring.

This is one of the best H games ever made. Period. It not only has great looking characters and good scenes. It actually has a story and plot that keep player engaged. It is not your classic hey press ctrl for 15 minutes to get all scenes. You actually have to think about what you are doing.

Art 4.5/5
Story 5/5
Gameplay 4.5/5
Fapability 5/5
Originality 6/5

This may not be the best game of this kind I have played but it is one of them .
It has a good and complex plot even if some events are classical ones.
I liked the render and the characters, which have a bit of substance. The fairy is a very good addition: I was always smiling at the dialogues.
The MC is not too well endowed comparing to others games.
I had fun playing the game and I will probably playing it again exploring new routes.

A very lovely tale which wraps in mystery perfectly with the clue system. It doesn't struggle to place events in the right place, and the overall pacing and framework I think, was close to if not a total mastery of the Ren'Py engine.

The characters are memorable, and once you figure out their stories you get a better read on not only them, but the MC's attitude insofar how he works with/against them.

The music is well suited and fits perfectly with the clue system, albeit some noises and themes may be repetitive after a while.

The morality of the MC is very much one-track. It's a race against the stats, which allow you to do more sexual things with other characters. The fundamentals of the game surrender to this, so its not a problem, but understandably frustrating if you wanted to be more evil or more righteous as you progress through the game.

There are moments where you can really feel the MC's despair, and when his world does collapse around him, it still means a lot even if for all intents and purposes, he gets reincarnated until he chooses not to be when its all said and done.

Decent game with average graphics. The renders are alright. The characters are not one of the most attractive ones. The story is good although a bit too complicated. The amount of the sex scenes is not that high and they are not best of quality.

Story 9/10
- The story and writing is top-notch with some interesting twists.
- Choices you make actually matter most of the time.

Gameplay 8/10
- As far as visual novels go the gameplay is very good.
- The secret revealing mechanic is captivating and in my opinion not overused.
- The game features New game+ with extra content.

Renders 9/10
- Renders look very nice.

Animations 8/10
- The animations are pretty basic but good.

Audio 10/10
- The music is fitting and at times significantly enhances the storytelling.

Conclusion.
In my opinion this is one of the best games on this site. I came for the porn and stayed for the story.

PS: I sincerely recommend playing the game blind on your first try.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your writing; it took me on a delightful and captivating journey from start to finish. The plot was engaging, and the pacing kept me hooked throughout. The characters were intriguing, but I must admit, I longed for more interactions between them. Although their individual stories were compelling, I craved deeper connections and dialogue exchanges that would further illuminate their personalities and relationships. Nonetheless, it was still an immensely enjoyable experience that left me wanting to delve even deeper into the lives of these fascinating characters

The game is a 3. The story is really good, that's why so many stars, but the scenes are bad I would say. Not only really short but they seem to be really static. The worst thing is that it takes huge amount of time to even get to a simple kiss. Maybe if it was a little more "linear" and if the scenes were a little easier to get, everything would have been much better. It's a shame because the girls looks really good but well, it is what it is.

What a beautiful damn story this was.

I'm not gonna be able to add anything more than has already been said by others. I love this story and I love these characters. Callie is my standout, she's fairly refreshing and unique as characters in these games go. And she's a gorgeous redhead, lol. But honestly, there was only one character I didn't like, and that entirely comes down to personal taste, certainly no fault of the writer.

This was such a well crafted tale. Top notch writing.

I wasn't as thrilled with the gameplay, I felt it to be overly grindy with quite a bit of dead time to sift through and some awkward rules for what could be done when. But it doesn't detract from the experience, not really. Taken as a novel first, it's one of the best I ever read.

Looking forward to the next project from this author already. Thank you for a great experience.

Excellent one, the lore & medieval are not that common for Renpy games and it's nice to play different genre at some point.

The story is very appealing with the climax at the end is awesome, I was very hooked until the different endings you can have depending the relationship you got with some LI.

Glad I found that one during random search on the forum ^^

Often, the mistake games with a New Game+ or other looping mechanic make, is to force you to re-do the boring parts too many times. Long Live the Princess doesn't fall into that trap. I got the good ending on my first re-run (narrowly), although there were plenty of optional objectives I didn't get, which I may go back and play again.

10/10, excellent game.

One of the best games I have played with. Combined with its not-so-common story line, and beautiful animation. Although I wish there was more sex scene with the girls in the game. The CONS for me is probably the grinding part where you have to either really be a detecting and focus you 100% brain in game, or you continuously alt-tab to your walkthrough. For our PROS, its the great animations for sex scenes. Nice render and uncommon characters (unlike those preset girls that we often see). And a nice storyline that has a

Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1]

Long Live the Princess truly captivates from the get-go. The simple yet engaging fantasy world slowly builds a solid foundation throughout the game-mechanics "prologue" / introduction, and I found myself eagerly unravelling the interwoven threads of intrigue with its twists and hooks.

H-scenes
The animations and statics are simple, clean, and beautifully rendered.

The "worst" complaint you will find is what I personally find so compelling about the game: you can't do everything in a single playthrough (near close from what I see in the WT guide, but certainly not a blind go of the intended timed mode)

Mildly spicy in terms of kink variety; though mainly through the perverse "skill" night activities, mind magic/alteration, and NG+ extras.
However there's a tonne of more vanilla options throughout from: anal to blowjobs to threesomes; with plenty of options and unique encounters to keep it from feeling repetitive

In conclusion: Its combination of fantasy, mystery, and romance make for an unforgettable adventure that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Play the timed version

Okay story. Lots of characters you can molest and fuck. Lots of paths to go down. Multiple endings.
The time limit may mean you don't have enough time to do some content, but that adds to it's replayability.

One of the best games I've found on this site. Good plot with branching, good game system, good length, lots of varied sex choices. The game even has replay value. I would strongly recommend this game.

Game is impossible without a walkthrough which ruins fun and interest.
Game full of fake choices with traps.
Instead of instantly overruling you when you pick the choice dev does not want, the game will let you make the "wrong" choice and then kill everyone much later.

You MUST fuck every girl or you bad end and everyone dies.
Yes that means fucking your sister
Yes this means fucking the crone
No choices allowed.

You are working against the clock. I utterly loathe games with a time limit.
You are told you have 50 days...
But there are also additional deadlines that flag you for bad end at day 24, and another at day 7 (prison rescue).
If you miss those deadlines you will be playing a doomed timeline. on day 50 you get to discover that you need to restart the game from beginning.

Very good game with good story and very nice sex scenes. My summary:

- Good story. Interesting, not too deep and original setup. The only downside is that you need to play the game several times to see all.

- H-scenes are great. They are very well directed and with the hot model of the girls, it's a win win.

- Good animation.

- The pace of the scenes are good. Moments for full story, time for scenes, I liked.

- Character design is awesome. Maybe you will know girls hotter, but I doubt you know so many pretty good looking girls in a single game. Their makeup is great too.

- Average sound. There is only ambient sound. No dialog, no moans, no special sounds (like cum, rain or storm etc).

- Technically perfect. 0 bugs

- You need to play the game several times to unlock all of the content. I don't like this, even more with a not too long game like this ( I mean, no need to split some content in several playthrough.

Fantasy. Mystery. Detective. Porn. This game has everything!

I'll be honest I wasn't expecting that I'd love this game as much as I did, but when I failed the first time, and the NG+ story kicked in, it took it to a whole new level of story!

I love the detective elements in this, the characters may seem one note, but each has a role to play and they will grow on you as the game goes on, and I really, really love certain reveals in the game!

I love fantasy settings, and you made a great game in it! It'd have been too easy to hand over the win on a platter.

I also just checked the change log of 1.0.1 and it seems the final bugs that were left in the game have been taken care of. So, here's 5 star for all the effort you put in Belle. Thanks for making a great detective porn game, and completing it!

This is my first review of a game.

This game was excellent, one of the best (in my top three) of the site (to my taste)
Visuals very VERY good (once again, to my tastes, no huge ass, tits, dicks, more petite/natural/god gifted), not too much grinding, sane amount of fapping material, very good OST selection.

The story is also very good. Lots of different consequences on choices, I like the humor, not short at all, but not a week of play either (in fact, I liked it so much I would have liked it to be way longer....if you don't have to do multiple runs)

The only cons are the nun character clearly below the other and feels rushed, not finished (but it's more an utility character than anything else) and there is also one scene you can clearly wonder about the age of the characters (no dick involved that said)(I'm not someone to formalize about the age of the pixels on my screen, but you've to know it if it's your case)

I don't know if people are able to get the good ending on first run without guide, but it took me 3 runs (and the game has a new game+ system to help the subsequent runs to be smoother)

Definitely worth support to the author.
