Ren'Py - A Ghostly Desire [v0.8 Alpha] [Sitho]

I just finished v0.8 and I have to say the game is good, but the interface is pretty annoying. Many mini games are completely broken with the only solution to use a save game editor/console to skip past them. The main intro to the main menu was especially annoying to figure out how to get past. (f5)(f9)(no)(ignore). Its worth checking out, but beware the interface seems almost purposefully bad.

The "work arounds" must be getting deleted from the forum, not sure why.

One star for effort. The models look awful, every love interest is at least 50 years old, the gameplay is infuriating and a chore to get through even with a walkthough. I honestly despise everything this game does or tries to do. The menu music is fine but I doubt that counts for anything.

Love the presentation, reminds me of classic point and click games, and i absolutely love the character models and renders, they are beautiful and i cant wait to see more, a whole lot more with a lot more variations to camera angles if possible. Cant say the same about the writing though and the pacing of character relationships. Maybe the writing is good but i honestly could not tell because it seems that it was put through Google translate and nothing else. Some character relationships advance too fast, like Violet, Nancy or Joannes friend, i forgot her name. All beautiful characters with a ton of potential but instead the game just jumps directly into the action, and sometimes even the action is quite underwhelming.
Would love more repeatable events, a way to track the time, to track side quests and activities. So far the game feels quite linear even if the game lets you explore the city from time to time, but because there is not much to do outside of the main events there is rarely any reason for it.
Overall, i quite liked it and i highly recommend it, and cant wait to see more.

I would definitely prefer this instead of identical models, the models are fantastic and the details and quality are high. The story is good, at least I didn't get bored during the time I played, I also liked the sandbox part, it's definitely not difficult, the game already gives directions. Of course, for me the visual quality of this game stands out above the others.

Normally I can't say it's a 5 out of 5 game, but since I like the work of the producer in general and I want to see the sequel, I give it 5 stars.

(Review based on v0.7)

Abandoned after 3 hours.

Gameplay is a blend of classic Ren'Py VN with some point-and-click elements. There are interactive items, an inventory, and "puzzles". "Puzzles" is a loose definition, because they are roadblocks based on inventory items, such as "If I had a drill I could put a hole in this wall" being solved by picking up a drill in the basement.

There are hidden pictures, which I usually enjoy in a game, but most of them aren't visible onscreen and instead you have to watch for your cursor turn orange to know it's there. These look like polaroids.

The characters are animated in their interactions and in their idle moments, which I really like.

The erotic moments are animated, but there isn't a lot of sound (as far as I got).

There are quite a few Love Interests in the game, but I was only attracted to four of them: the mother, the aunt, the neighbor Jenny(?) and the female police officer. I didn''t get to any sex sequences with any of them, outside of some random imagine interactions the main character fantasizes about. Most of the other women are old, wrinkled, saggy, and in generally not to my taste. I am fine with GILF characters existing in games, but since I'm not attracted to the elderly, I don't play games that focus on that content. I would rather they be optional if they're included like in this game.

I also thought this game would be spookier, given the title. There's no ghostly goings-on here. There is some light supernatural implications with the MC getting lost in fugue states whenever he imagines a lewd act, but I couldn't tell if this was for humor or actually trying to do something.

After about 3 hours of playing I grew bored. While I like the implementation of point-and-click mechanics, I found everything else rather lackluster. The dialogue devolves multiple times into gibberish from translation) and ultimately felt like it didn't matter.

Sometimes a game just isn't fun to play.

Not Recommended.

I felt conflicted about even giving this review, I thought that if you had nothing nice to say then you shouldn't say anything at all. With that said, I'll try to keep this objective.

• The translation is awful. Almost every sentence contains broken grammatically confused sentences, making it difficult to connect with any of these characters.
• The cast is massive, chuck full of people you have zero reason to be invested in. And even if you do get invested in one of these characters, don't worry, there'll be 10 new characters around the corner to talk your ear off.
• The pacing is bad. With the previous two points in mind, I'd say it's downright horrendous. There's a scene where the Aunt character fully throws herself at you and then does the classic "teehee jk!" bit.​

If I had to say some positive thing about this title is that it's ambitious. The world is large and well-rendered. Shame I had zero desire to experience it after the first 2 days.

0.7

One of the very rare vanilla games I'm gonna keep on my drive for some time.

Quite excellent milf focused content. I gotta say it has some if not the best looking milf I ever seen in AVNs. Now I'm actively looking for games with similar visuals.

There isn't really any story besides the classic you get back to your home town blah blah. I was under the impression that there is no clear focus in mind but it didn't really bother me.

Content wise, there's a decent amount so far. No sex with the mom yet but the build up to it is really well done.

I just came across this title and gave it a try.

[My impression (so far)]
Wow, very well done and I was impressed by it (the VN). Cool, very cool.

Personally, I just wish there were some basic “game mechanics” like building up some points or something like that, just something to work on. Sometimes I get bored with too many text chains and find myself skipping them so far that I miss too much.

How ever, just keep us on our toes with updates, scandals, twists and surprises. Just do your thing (if the dev is reading) and make an old schooler like me feel like the nudes/photos are worth archiving as a reward, you know, to satisfy the needs of an animal hunter-gatherer. But that's just my personal taste.

All in all, really worth supporting and highly recommended!
I will do.

Not sure if this is still being developed or not as the updates seem very erratic.

The writing is terrible being more on par with-See spot run. Run spot run...
Some quotes:
"first let's take moment to peacefully arrive home."
or
when you click on the laundry basket.. "yeah the desire is always strong."
or
"I am just not too technical talented"
or
"long before my trip the major announced a lot"
----------------------------------

I mean, for a release that is over 3 years old, and with all the help that is readily available on F95zone, there is no excuse for the poor writing.

The characters look really bad. While I was hoping for some unique milf's, the images are just low quality.

The mechanics are bad... You exit to the bathroom, exit to your bedroom, exit to second floor, etc... Sometimes there is a button to leave a room but other times you have to hover around the edge of the screen clicking until you hit the right hidden spot to leave.

There isn't really a story. You find your mom who hugs you, says she missed you, then sits back down to watch tv and ignores you. The mc then runs around complaining about his stuff being gone, and it honestly goes downhill from there.

This needs to be proofread, thrown out, then started on from scratch. I realize I sound rude, but it's just really really bad.

Short summary:


This game is trash, for a whole host of reasons.


Most important - dev is stuck so far up his ass, he made every decision possible to waste your time and make the gameplay a time-wasting chore. This was a necessity though, to obscure how barren the game is and how few renders it has. It lacks indicators for actions, or indicators for “already interacted with”, interactive zones are all over the place and often don’t make sense, and writing isn’t good enough or engaging enough for you to care and follow closely. Lots of actions you need to do aren’t even properly explained. Don’t waste your time. If you are a sucker for the few renders this game has - take a look at the gallery here on the game page. That’s pretty much it. There, I’ve saved you several hours of your life - now go play any of the far better games available here.



Good Things

• The few renders you can get are not bad
• If you really want “realistic” milf bodies (read “having fat ass, and some belly”) this one has them

Bad points

• The worst QoL you can get - dev even messed up with the default Ren'Py options in settings, to actively make it worse.
• Open world is trash, with a lot of houses and items to “interact” but 95% of the time this doesn’t do anything, but wastes your time. If you are not following the walktrhrough, you will waste hours on empty screens of random junk, trying to find the one that leads you to the next hurdle
• Writing is terrible
• Conversations are often just 2 cutouts in front of a background, not proper renders.
• lots of bugs

Excellent game if you like voyeur and realistic MILF action. Been a while since i last got involved but just down loaded the latest version - super hot! The renders are very well exceuted and games play moves at just the right pace to keep you engaged and stimulated in the right measure . Recommend

Honestly, this is what MILFS an Matures are realistically like using DAZ. 'm a sucker for these kind of models. Very well done.

Great amount of content for Alpha 0.7. Really excited to see where this goes.

Its is more of an erotic adventure and thats great for me. Other may see too much dialog.

The best milf daz renders on this site!

This is may be one of the best games I ever played. Very nice graphics and I love the mature women in it. One thing though, there is a lot of effort spent on MC's fantasies which, in my opinion, could be directed to progress the story. Nice work though, bravo dev.

This is the best game i played! if you like mature this is the game for you!
one think i think is missing is maby some hints for the hidden photos.


renders and models are beautifully made
10 stars out of 5 stars! amazing !!

Oh man!,Its amazing game that I must give a 5 start,or 6 if it got .The hot and SO-REAL Milfs is a crazy bomb fot those milf guy like me.Can get enough with this. and the annimation is cool too.

In conclusion,GREAT and Great!!!!

I haven't played this for very long, but I can tell already that the image to dialog ratio is just bad.
As far as I can see, there's a single image (well rendered though) over minutes of dialog. No change of camera angle, or any king of expression change. The only change is when it switches to dialog over just black...

I don't care how well the animations are done, when the meat of the game is done over just a couple of still images. It gets boring pretty quickly looking at the same image for minutes at a time.
Waste of resources, IMHO.
Combined with the non-native English, it's a pass for me.

Very promising point&click erotic adventure, the woman are hot and have a 'real' feel, the renders and animations are awesome and the story is quite good.

Things to improve: quest log, longer sex scenes.

Asside from the litle bugs, this game is and will be a pure gem.

pressing W when it bugged really helped the game progress

starting is a little wonky since this kind of gameplay feels strange,
and Marc does have a funny walk

but after a little while and seeing the first 3d animation, you know this is the real deal.

beautifull mature and pure woman, no balloon breasts, natural shapes and curves, no porn star dick or rocket ship, just a good decent big boner.

i hope the devs will create alot of other woman and maybe kinks.
enjoyed playing it every single minute.

This game is pure Gem in my opinion. It's pretty unique have it's own charm and pleasant atmosphere, resembles the Willy D and EON which are one of the best adventure porn games ever in my opinion. The women are very hot, the stories so far are interesting and the animations are well made. Feels like a really cool adventure porn game and not some propaganda driven bs, which is inserted in almost every game here.Love that you can find secret hot scenes in the world too, hope in the future you may be included in some too. Also the more hot sex scenes you can find side from the story the better. The game definitely needs to have a replay of the finded in the world scenes in some way, and for the unlocked sex scenes true out the story in my opinion, also if sex sounds are included in them will make them even hotter. It's still early, but enough for me to give this score, keep it up, what I saw was great!

The game reminds of old point and click adventures, this one is pretty straightforward with no complexities that can ruin the erotic experience. Character design is amazing, not your typical render, this characters look closer to a person you can meet in your neighborhood, which is excellent. I love the space rendering, is simple yet communicates what is needed, I guess rendering times get lower with this strategy which is nice, also giving a unique touch to the game. Storywise I just played 0.4 so it needs to develop much more, but to date it is a favorite, unique style, animations are very fluid and look organic, not plastic as lots I've seen. I hope the developer keeps updating this regularly with lots of content.
