Ren'Py - Star Periphery [v0.5.5 Hotfix] [VoidPilgrim]

Great renders/story. Super easy to follow next steps for the game, and to direct the story. Scenes are easy to find and avoid, and the story/gameplay loop works well. As long as you are down with the pretty obvious tags that are on the game it's really good.

If your kink is dickgirl on femboy this game is a must play.

Beautiful renders, exceptional wordbuilding, strong personalities and a blank slate MC makes is to you can really immerse yourself in this game.

The dev also posts frequently on this forum and engages with the community a lot, combined with frequent updates and a vision where the game goes is really assuring relating to the future of this game.

Anyway the only bad thing i can say is that the game is too short, if you can even call that criticism.

I played through all the available content and it's one of the best games I've seen on here. The creator clearly put a lot of effort and thought into the writing of the story and characters. Very high quality writing in general with no obvious errors unlike many other VN style games out there.

The characters are all great, even if they aren't fully fleshed out yet. There is a lot of diversity in personality. The MC is really likeable as well, with a clear goal and working towards it, not making any unreasonable or nonsensical decisions.

Love the Sci-Fi environment and main plot of the story. Great tension building so far, with 2 main antagonist forces threatening the space station where the current plot takes place.
There is so much potential for future updates too, with different planets, alien races and space travel events on the Despina (the big cargo space ship the MC tries to get hired on).

Awesome HQ renders and hot sex scenes.

I'll definitly be back for future updates.

If I had one word to describe this game it would be...INCREDIBLE!!! Man, the story is very interesting, taking a futuristic aspect in space, I also felt some references to some movies even though I'm a bit of a layman, I also felt a cyberpunk vibe which I like a lot. The characters, the world, the plot all seem to me to be very well done and planned, among the 4 main girls we interact with throughout the game, my favorite is undoubtedly Lise ❤ in several of her interactions man... I really had a lot of fun and laughed a lot at the bad jokes and puns she made. The sex scenes were also very good, especially with Lise... I think that of the four main characters, she was the one I connected with the most during the gameplay, maybe because of her fun personality or her extensive knowledge of different mechanisms, or because I like passionate sex scenes. Another one I liked was Tessa! I've always liked the "mommy" archetype in adult games, and she fulfills that role well, as well as being very sweet and endearing to us, and the shower scene... amazing. I came for one reason but stayed for another, I discovered this game while looking for new games to play and ended up finding this gem! An excellent game. Lise the best character ❤.

Finally getting around to giving the game a review. Some very slight spoilers ahead, but nothing too egregious.

***** Five stars, easily! *****

Would give more if possible, as this game is flippin' amazing. Quite comfortably the best futadom game out there. It gets updated fairly frequently, and every update thus far has been very substantial, which is sorely needed in a very starved niche. That alone is worth at least a couple of stars! Do yourself a favour and play the game. You won't regret it.

- Art -

Pilgrim is very passionate about this project, and it shows. The render quality is beyond the pale. Only one erotic game I've played comes anywhere near Star Periphery when it comes to character model renders, but it has sadly been abandoned. Be it the utterly gorgeous ladies themselves, or the (extremely) detailed backgrounds, you can very clearly see it's all got Pilgrim's full attention. And possibly best of all, it's so consistent, both in the overall vibe as well as quality. You might not notice the backgrounds every time, per se, but your subconcious does, and it keeps you immersed in the experience.

- Story and dialogue -

I have to say that I like it alot. Too often, a game with fantastic art is let down by both awful, grade school writing. Not the case with Star Periphery, thankfully! Sure, there are some typos and weird sentence structure here and there, but Pilgrim has dedicated Discord members that are quick to point things out and that bit is constantly being worked on.

As I said earlier, I do like the story a lot. I am going to have to be honest however, and admit that to me, it's the weakest part of the experience. I do not doubt it will get exponentially better as it progresses and things take off properly. Then again, if the writing was supposed to keep pace with the render quality, Pilgrim would be a Pulitzer award winning author, and not working on a futa porn game XD. Keep in mind that the story is just starting, and I for one can't wait to start unravelling the mystery that is the ladies. But I digress.

One of the strongest aspects of the characters and the writing is the variety of ladies on offer, and how they each cater to a different kink or desire. Are you looking for a strict domme that likes to be in control? Iris has you covered. Or perhaps you'd like a more gentle loving mommydom to soothe your stress away? Tessa will give that to you in spades. But you best behave, because mommies know how to handle naughty bois!

The point is, Pilgrim has a strong grasp on what people are after in a game such as this, and just how to implement certain kinks into the scenes with the ladies. You can always tell when something is created by someone who likes what they're working on. It shines through. He's also incredibly adept at projecting the confidence the women possess, and how they go after what they like. And let's face it, my fellow shy brothers; most of us would love it if more women took such strong initiative in real life!

--

Now, I feel like I should say a little something about some comments I've seen on the site, practically demanding Pilgrim do this or that, or claiming the game would be better with more regular females or Twink-kun topping, changing the way the ladies look, or how people can't see the appeal of the game and so on. No constructive critisism or helpful comments. Suggesting Pilgrim changes something is one thing, but these people don't do that. They demand the game be developed to their tastes, and get all uppity if they don't get their way. What a bunch of entitled brats.

The reason why you won't see Twin Kun topping anyone, or a whole bunch of submissive futas or women is very simple. This is a futadom game and created for us people that like such content. And most importantly, this is the game Pilgrim wanted to make. It's not that complicated concept to grasp.

Sure, adding those things might increase the game's popularity, but Pilgrim is an artist, and he won't jepordize the integrity of his passion project to appease the masses. Besides, the game is doing phenomenally well and is at the moment of me writing this review, in the top ten of the best rated games on F95. Not bad for a game created in a very niche genre! If you want a game where you play a 'manly man' who makes women his bitches, there's plenty of that content to go around. Go play those games, and stop whinging for things you won't get here.

Thanks for a fantastic game, Pilgrim, and good luck!

Absolutely fantastic, played every bit currently available and enjoyed it all from start to finish. The art is great, the characters are well written and compelling even the story is interesting.

I'd give it six stars if I could.

Really nice game. Almost perfect (up until now),. Interesting world building and story, great renders for the characters with awesome lewd scenes, Good scenarios with great attention to details and unique props all over. I just miss a little bit of linearity in some moments of the story, but nothing that compromises the experience. some locked options look very promising, i'll be waiting anxiously for the next update.

It have been quite updates on this game, and, unfortunately... there were all good !
Like this game work so good with me, I like the gameplay, the characters, obviously the kinks showed in it.
And damn, I hope we can finally have a good femdom game that will not be abandoned.

I don't normally review on here, but this game hits all the points for me. I love every aspect of this and hope to see this game be able to made to finish. I fully support the creator and how much effort they have put into this game. 10/10 for me

tldr - 100% Coming back to each and every update.

I wholeheartedly agree with the reviews praising this visual novel game, in the 0.51 version as of this review. The artwork is phenomenal, and the storytelling is already engaging and captivating at this early stage. The game deserves a 10/5 rating for its successful blend of dystopian sci-fi and trans/futa/femboy themes, which is quite rare and refreshing.

The gameplay plays and feels like reading a novel. While there are choices to be made they aren't implemented in a way where you'll have to play 500 hours to get all the content. The game's rich and detailed environments and visuals for the story plot scenes really add to immersing yourself in the setting. The "missions" are great as you can be a smartass/perv and not get a gameover 1 sentence later.

The character models, especially the futas, are stunning! The game features a variety of scenes that are both visually and narratively stimulating.

Kink-wise, the game focuses on the futa on male category, but there is already a wide range of content in version 0.51. I can confidently give it a 5/5 rating as one of my favorites in the genre.

The only downside I could mention is the lack of an auto-advance feature, which could make the reading experience smoother. Ren-Py's 1-100 `cps` system can be a bit finicky, but it's still preferable to manually advancing the text. Overall, I highly recommend this visual novel game and eagerly look forward to future updates and improvements.

Awesome dystopian sci-fi trans/femboy stuff, love it.
It seems like this type of game always has a very well-written story for some unknown reason. The gameplay is nice, and being able to shape the story with your multiple choices is a huge bonus, in addition to having a skill tree. Great game.

I love the CG's. I love the atmosphere. I love the storytelling and character dynamics. I hope this game continues development because it has been amazing so far. Why do I need more than 200 characters to make this statement. Please keep up the good work. <3

The Verdict
The best futa game out there with AAA polish, environments, sex, and world-building. Worth checking out no matter what, and a must-play masterpiece if you like futas & femboys.

The Good

• A futa porn game has no business crafting a world this interesting. The intro could the the start of a legitimately amazing sci-fi videogame.
• The environments and world are rich and detailed and keep you completely locked into the game.
• The little "missions" you go on are actually interesting. They help characterize the cast, further build the world and are just overall fun to play through.
• I'm a sucker for futas with gigantic tits and asses, and the models here are gorgeous. The developers lean into a few typical tropes but they absolutely knock them out of the park.
• This is the kind of game you leave on your computer for months for the gallery. The scenes here are so, so, so fucking hot.

The Bad

• The game is a sandbox with a handful of dead locations as of v0.5.1. I'm sure this will be shored up with time, but for now the only thing that managed to pull me out of this world was clicking on a new cool location, only to be greeted with a WIP message.

Cant believe a porn game with this kind of production values in a space/cyberpunk setting even exists. 3D models are amazing, world building is top notch and the writing is really fun. Truely baffling. Cant recommend this game more, if you are into its content.

R5.1

Star Periphery is a futadom on femboy mc visual novel in a well thought out sci-fi universe. Futas can be romanced and gotten to know through adventurous storylines that intertwine to shape up to a central narrative. Each ingame day has at least one potential sex scene in it, often with variations or extras to explore. There are around 20 days so far and also some places to visit that don't end the day. Has been my gateway drug to 3Dcgi, the quality of some renders can amaze me every time I play. Dev is kind, mature and very responsive to the community, has the workflow and story figured out. Updates are fairly regular. There are several hours of content but the game is still early in development, it's in its first of 3 chapters. Expect lots of juicy thiccness and being on the receiving end.

Negatives:
I can't think of many for the above reasons, but lets see: Stats button hard to find, it would be better if money or even stats and items would be visible (by default, on top row?). There are no proper animations. Main map readability could be improved to show where content is still avalable, but I like the looks of it. Sounds are sporadic. All the stuff I just mentioned are work in progress. Thicc bodytypes will not be the ideal for everyone, but this is more of an initial thought. Once playing you'll see the variation and each body on the leaner side is an argument for perfection. For others this same thing is the best part, there are some chubby girls.

Positives:
There are many reasons this game could be considered the best in its genre.
- Flexible Design. Visit locations in any order without missing out on content, there's no grinding required to experience everything you want either. There are some "bad" endings, but the game lets you return to your last choice. Did I mention there are "bad" endings? Additionally, there's no exclusivity or jealousy between love interests, and you can skip fetishes that aren't for you.
- Internal consistency is taken seriously. Approach to sex and character motivations are also firmly on the realistic side by porn game standards, meaning it remains believable so hypersexuality & fiction can shine. The universe with its various factions and species feels larger than just the scenes we get to see.
- Setting is not too grim but distopian undertones provide depth. Personal relationships with main love interests are positive. Futas & futadom isnt portrayed as inherently evil which is very refreshing after most other femdom and futadom games.
- "Spacer" (default name) aka twink-kun is often passive and doesnt talk much, suitable for self insert. Can be a point of attraction to some, inoffensive for others - this is hard to achieve with male characters imho. He isnt a total loser but an adventurous and even moderately capable little fella who can get recognized by the ladies. He is often teased or belittled, sometimes playfully and sometimes in a more dominating way. Eventually they warm up to him which looks different with many of these strong willed amazons.
- The futas are not one dimensional but markedly distinct from eachother, capable of wholesomeness and naughtiness alike. They can be easygoing or demanding in their own ways but also generally competent and genuine.
- Kink-wise there is variety, I'd rate the severity medium. No truly bizzare kinks and main focus is on oral and anal play/sex. There are aliens, and some things we get a taste of are in the hardcore category. Denial, restrains and sissification promise to be recurring themes. Cant wait for more of the kinky stuff.
- Skills are also utilized in the game: anal, oral, guns ,& tech, probably more to come. They dont do much but some content or small scene variations become available as they are leveled by playing the story. They do reinforce a sense of training your holes and shaping up for the challenges so its a great addition. A favor counter does the same for relationships.

I couldnt recommend more strongly if you are into futas topping you (or a cute femboy).

It's fantastic. I wasn't sure I would like it since most of the futas do not have the body type I'm looking for but I do not regret it. I learned to love the girls first and then their body type became unimportant.

Great writing, fun game. I wish there was more management gameplay but other than that, best futa game out there right now.

Great work Void.

The best so far. Graphics and all the history. I loved;
I follow developer. Hope more.
Please ............................................................................................................................................................................................

This game must be 1 of my Top 5, I am a huge fan of big futanari babes on little boys and this game fills all those knotty little kinks and niches some love so much.

I would highly recommend this game for everyone who is into big knobby babes.

Excellent game with premium smut and surprisingly tender moments. The MC may lead many players to question their sexual orientation.
Congratulations to the developer for his hard work.
VoidPilgrim's constant honesty regarding his updates and patreons is also commendable. Support the man! He deserves every penny!

I was holding off on this because Devs in this genre seem to come and go in a few months, but it looks like this one is staying around for the long haul.

As for the game itself

Render Quality 10/10
Seriously, This is one of the best looking games bar none in this genre and probably top 10 in all genres, if their is one thing I cant praise high enough it's the quality, lighting, and attention to detail.

Story 7/10
The Story, up to the the point in development this is written, is just now starting to open up and take off. What there is I really like, and look forward to getting to know more about the crew, the station, and the universe as a whole. I will revise this part in a few more updates, as I believe things are really about to kick off.

Waifus 10/10
I was genuinely surprised how interesting I found all the girls.
I was a little worried the LI's would be all the tropes
"Ice Queen" "Big Sis" "Tough girl" ect, but my expectations were quickly subverted. The writing is really well done, and all the girls are quite multifaceted, which makes this a real diamond in the rough.

Nitpick
My only real gripe with this game is when the people emote.
Most of the time emoting is written as the same sentence, only with a slightly
different font, It can make you have to re-read this sentences often.

Example
Now, come on and do the rest of the work She points toward the soap.

Since their is no punctuation for "work." it reads as the same sentence and can really mess with you. if it was

"Now, come on and do the rest of the work." She points toward the soap.
or even
Now, come on and do the rest of the work. "She points toward the soap."

it would read better. But that really is my only nitpick.

I've been burned many times in the past with this genre so I stopped supporting new devs long ago. but I made my first donation before writing this, as I believe this dev has staying power, and this is a game I definitely want to stick around. So for anyone on the fence, jump in you wont be disappointment.
