Ren'Py - Completed - 14 Days of Desire [Final] [Softlock Interactive]

14 Days of Desire is a short vn with a lot of interactivity, the story will only progress if you go to certain places and decide to interact with the girls. You are in vacation so you have only 14 days to get as much scenes you can with a lot of girls around town, two of them your new step-sisters, one sweet, the other dominating. The individual progress of each girl is very short with just a couple of interactions that grow into a scene very fast, skipping a lot of build up. After a couple scenes with each girl their progress is finished and you are done with them. The models are fine but nothing special and the scenes are few and not impressive. Overall it's a forgettable experience that doesn't add much to you nor makes you want to replay. Also, found a couple of bugs, one game breaking at the end, and it doesn't have a gallery to rewatch scenes.

Underneath a layer of shitty grammar and UI choices lies a game with good enough aesthetics and a small puzzle element, if you can see it.

Someone get in contact with the developers and help him fix the in-your-face issues of the game. They’re obnoxious and take away a lot of fun from the experience. That said, I can definitely tell what the developer was going for here - and for the most part, he succeeded in getting a long way.

So you'll spend exactly 14 days with your stepsister to ‘get to know her better’ after your father marries their mother. That’s all the plot you get. You won’t get to know her much better besides that she needs to study hard, likes shopping and will reward you for helping her. And after 14 days, the game just cuts out and ends without a proper ending. That is all the ‘main story’ you’re getting. This is a corruption/sex simulator disguised as a sandbox.

Luckily, the developer blessed you with pretty models and some of them have a bit of a personality to them. The idea of the writing is average, but it’s full of grammatical errors and sometimes typos. This heavily diminishes the quality of the game’s story bits - but if you’re not here for the why, you can focus on the what.

The sandbox style gameplay of finding the right woman somewhere is fun for the first 10 minutes, after that it’s only used for a minigame for one of the women. I kind of liked it, but I don’t know why the developer went through the trouble of creating this system while leaving the story so light. It seems counterintuitive. You have to repeat multiple interactions until you rack up enough points (which you can’t measure) to unlock the interactions with a certain woman who you have to find. It can become tedious, but it’s best looked at like a puzzle.

There’s no animations and while I don’t necessarily miss them, the sexy scenes are shot and repeated in a way that you don’t really get a feel for the energy - it’s more stoic lewdness and sex. I guess it’s better than awful dialog for sex scenes, but I would have liked the developer to enhance the sex scenes even more - like he did with the stepsisters scenes. Also, I have no idea what’s up with the cock sizes - but they really didn’t have to be this unrealistically huge. I guess that’s a developer design choice.

Adding the work and gifts system confused me as I haven’t used it myself, but perhaps that’s a way to do things differently? I couldn’t figure out after two playthroughs which means it probably should be explained better. The text messages are a nice addition, but I’m not sure if they amount to anything.

Heads up - at night in the park you can encounter June, who is a trans woman MTF. If this is not your thing, stay out of the park at night and you will not start her story. Also avoid Alex if you’re not big on roleplay or taboos - even though you could be wondering if you should be checking this out in the first place.

In conclusion, I enjoyed this game even though I had to look through the grammar and UI problems. Provided you can too (or the developer patches those to tidy up his game), this could be a good 3 / 5. For now, it’s a 2.5 out of 5.

I enjoyed certain story lines but others had me confused me more than anything.

One of the biggest difficulties is understanding how to unlock all achievements. There are no hints and many different places where I felt stuck and just clicked around aimlessly.

I will say that the renders are ok and I do like the concept. Sandbox games are not for everyone and that is ok.

I do wish that the availability of content was higher. After my 4th playthrough I had managed to stumble my way through a few more achievements and complete a handful of the stories.

A few story lines are linked but overall there really is no cohesion if you are a story person.

For those expecting more lewd content, its there but a bit limited and once a storyline is complete your basically repeating the same things over and over.

Decent 3/5

Typical sandbox fair. Click a box on the map. Repeat the same event over and over again until something changes. MC gets dommed regardless by two of the women. Very short and ends SUPER abruptly - no actual ending whatsoever, just "thanks for playing."
