Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen Review

We put 14 hours into Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen before writing anything down. What follows is the version of this review we would have wanted before starting — premise first, mechanics second, content list third, verdict last.

What is Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen?

Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen is an adult sex simulator made with Ren'Py. It opens with a setup that sounds like every other game in the category and then spends its first act quietly dismantling it. By the time the routes properly open, the cast has enough definition that picking one over another feels like a decision rather than a menu selection.

The build reviewed here is v0.7. Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen is developed episodically, so the chapter count moves; the systems described below have been stable across the last several releases.

Story and setting

Where Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen separates itself is in the middle third. The setup is conventional and the ending is what you would expect, but between them is a stretch where the story stops explaining itself and lets consequences land. Several routes go somewhere genuinely uncomfortable, and the game does not blink.

Pacing is the recurring complaint and it is a fair one. Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen takes its time establishing everyone before it lets anything happen, and if you are the kind of player who skips dialogue you will find the first two hours interminable and the rest incoherent. Read it or do not play it — there is no middle setting where the game works.

Gameplay and progression

The moment-to-moment loop is simple to describe and harder to master. There is a light stat layer feeding into scene availability, and it is genuinely possible to lock yourself out. The game gives you enough rope, then lets you use it. Whether that reads as respect or as bad signposting depends on how much you enjoy replanning a run from a save an hour back.

• Engine: Ren'Py
• Format: adult sex simulator
• Typical route length: around 14 hours
• Saves: cloud-synced across devices

Visuals, art style and sound

The renders are the reason most people try Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen and the reason a fair number stay. Lighting is posed rather than default, character models avoid the uncanny plastic look that plagues the category, and the animated scenes run at a frame rate that does not undercut them. It is not the most technically advanced work in the realistic shelf, but it is among the most consistent.

There is no voice acting, which is standard for the format and probably for the best given how badly it usually goes in this genre.

Who should play Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen?

Before you start

A few things worth knowing before you start.

• Saving: progress syncs to the cloud, so a device swap mid-route is safe.
• Route planning: keep a save before each major choice. Tainted Heritage - a.k.a Weird Shit Is Going to Happen branches early and converges late, which is the arrangement that punishes a single overwrite slot the most.
• Version: start on v0.7 or later — earlier builds are missing route content the review above describes.
• Best platform: the Browser build is the one to use; the others trail it by a release or two.
• Content check: read the tag list above before starting. Several of these are route-locked and not signalled in-game before you are already in.
