VN - Ren'Py - Adored by the Devil [v0.7] [Empiric]

The story isn’t amazing as it is just getting really good and there isn’t a lot of story until the end. As the game is mostly focused on building the character up and the lore / backstory of them first. However
If you like games with lore and characters with deep backstory this is the game for sure. Almost every character for the most part is interesting in some way. There is one character that I hope gets some development cause right now she just feels like a side girl that is there for some easy lewd scenes. However she has the potential to be just as interesting as the rest because of what she is. The characters actually come across as real people too. Hell, my favorite character is also the hottest to me, I don't even want the MC to have sex with her. Her personality reminds me so much of a certain android from another game that is popular and the relationship with her is so wholesome she feels more like a little sister.


The only negative I can think of right now and it depends on you. Is how alot of characters have boobs that are way too big and that is something I also dislike. Yet because the models look good and aren't super thin looking it also doesn’t look horrible on any of them to me, unlike in other games. Also one of the characters does have a story reason for the overly big boobs which is refreshing to see.

All the character models look great in this game and some like Issabella are hotter than most of the LI on my personal LI list. There is also one thing that I find refreshing in this game as well. There is an asian character and her model is actually pretty hot and I find that’s rare to see in AVN’s.

I find the render quality above average. It's pretty high quality in my opinion. The animation quality is pretty high. I never really noticed any weird graphical issues due to data loss when it’s compressed or whatever. However the animations overall could be improved, not horrible but could be better for sure.

Overall I say if you like fantasy theme games with demons , good backstory, interesting characters and lore, give this game a shot. I liked this enough to put it in my top 10 personally and I can't wait for more updates, as it’s starting to get really good.

Game version: 0.7

I think it's very hard to NOT like this game (especially Lilith ) and I am not different here.
The story writing is original, the characters have unique traits and background (although less than I wished for: Most of them are just horny and slutty 24/7; and you definitely have to like BIG booba!) and the render quality of the still images is very good.

Sadly, there is this one big "but", than prevented me from giving this game 4 stars: The quality/ skill level of the animated scenes. They are just "bad" or "mediocre" at best and are a 100% turn-off for me. They "feel" stiff (= too few pics per animation), have too little physics (if at all), a bad camera placement, one can easily spot the first and last pic of the loop, and they are just plain boring to me. Which kind of frustrates me much, because I really do endorse this game and its development.

I hope for the dev to further improve his animation skills in his next games; although I'm quite sure that's just what he will do anyway.

TLDR: Very good novel, set back by bad animations.
Still highly recommended by me for its overall presentation.

Great game.

Renders are fantastic and animation is defiantly above average and the models are very pretty and diverse.

I have seen some saying this is a slow burn, but i think for those interested in both story and sexual scenes, it is a good mixture of both. The story is rather engaging, and i very much enjoy the different personalities and quirks of all the different characters.

Cant wait for the next update

Absolutely amazing! Brilliantly original plot, stupidly attractive female characters, all of whom are truly well thought out and entirely believable, and a deft comic touch that underpins all the writing.
If you haven't already played this you owe it to yourself to download and rectify that as a matter of urgency...
And lastly, I would have to seriously question the humanity of anyone who plays this and does not immediately fall hopelessly in love with Lilith.

Story 3/5
Story is pretty good well main story is but its also a slow burn with not much going on 90% of the time and main story has barely even got going yet, almost like they forgot that it has a main story?
MC is send to protect a mother and her two daughters, sadly all bimbos with big or huge tits so they really wasent in my taste and couldent care less about them, so if you arent into the big tit fetish you proberly wont enjoy this one, it gets a bit boring when theres no LI around to go for and they should have made a better diversity in builds to even it out doing the hole game, like have one of the two daughters with a normal or even small build so there could something for everyones taste, but sadly that isent the case.

Insted game likes to try to push big tit fetish on you by showing girls topless all the damn time, which is a really ugly thing to see when your not into huge saggy tits and its nothing but an instant turn-off, they could atleast have made it a peek yes/no choice for those that hate it, i did like how you could pick the choice of hating them as the MC but still really dident need to see them at all...devs need to learn to respect peoples kinks and accept not all are into the same thing.

But on the bright side you do have a choice in this one, your never forced into any sexual relationships so you can freely turn down those you dont want, which is the only reason i could keep playing this one.

The issue is when the one or max two LIs you might like who has close to normal size tits arent around much, it gets really really boring which makes it a big slow burn for sexual stuff, i only went after the 2 normal size girls, the deamon friend and the witch and there is barely any content with them yet, only a single sex scene with the witch and nothing with the deamon friend, so yeah truely a slow burn in that area, but i guess there could be more with the bimbos but i couldent care less about watching those.

MC is a breath of fresh air, finaly a guy with a normal mindset that dosent constantly focus on tits and how hot girls are, so you as the player are for once allowed to think for your self and i love that.

Girls 3/5
Nice looking girls but the diversity in builds is pretty shitty so you kinda have to have a big tit fetish to truely enjoy this one, there are a few nice with more normal sizes, but ratio is like 8 big/huge tits vs 3 normal/smaller tits, where 2 of those has 0 sexual content, so its lacking in a huge way on that issue.

Animations 3/5
They arent bad but they arent anywhere near great either, pretty short ones and i dunno best word would be meh i guess, but with the lack of diversity i turned down everyone except 2 so ive only seen a single scene where MC has sex.

Choices 4/5
Well not sure how much you can change when it comes to the main story, but as for relationships they work perfectly, pick who ever you want or turn down who ever you want.

Game is not bad and people with big tit fetish will proberly love it, but for someone like my self who arent into that at all it just gets way to much when 98% of the game is looking at big tits, its barely playable but since you can turn down everyone its possible to play it for the story even though its hard at times.

It's got some wonky animations, some questionable grammar and the current version ends mid-breakfast... Which isn't inherently bad I guess? But I tend to think episodes should end on some sort of cliff hanger, a reveal or at the very least at the conclusion to some ongoing drama. Here it ends with something like... "We got pancakes." Just feels like an odd note to end on.

That said I'm a sucker for anything resembling Urban Fantasy and I dig the plot, not to mention the plot.

What a marvelous visual novel! The storyline is skillfully crafted, and the characters are absolutely adorable. Each new character introduction feels just right. Looking forward to seeing this visual novel continue to improve. Kudos to the developer for their excellent work!

The story is really good, I just wished there was a little bit of a forward to it to get some kind of explanation of what's going on before dropping you in the story. It does explain a little as it goes on so it's not too bad. The renders are really good and the girls are just the kind I like. The dialog is good also and some of things they say are pretty funny. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story.

An interesting game that sort of just.... meanders through things.

Visually it's lovely, the characters are *ahem* well endowed in the most part, almost comcially so but beyond that they're visually appealing. The problem is the story seems to be an after though.

The overview is MC is sent to protect a family of three women from possible danger. To do so he moves in with them and you can probably guess the rest.

The almost flippant nature of how the overview is written is actually quite par for the course for the game cause at times it kinda feels like it's all an afterthought. Things like demons and demon hunting and vampires are all mentioned but almost in an offhand way. Like it's there but who cares about that, look at dem tiddies. Like the whole premise of the game is you're meant to be the body guard for the family but half the time you're off with one member of other. I mean hell, there's a whole bit where two of the family fly off somewhere leaving you home alone with the third. So obviously designed to promote some sexy time but it makes a joke of the whole premise of the game. Who are you meant to be protecting? It'd be better if the Dev just admitted he wanted naughty scenes and left it at that.

I might be harsh but as a game it's so damn jarring. Protect a family of three" well you're obviously not so why have that as a premise?

Beyond the wonky story the usual tropes are there, MC has magic dick powers that everyone wants him, he's apparently a bad ass but as the plot is an afterthought you only really see it in one scene briefly so really he might as well just be another college dude bro out to sow his wild seed.

If the game could be summarized in one word it would be SEXY. There's always something to engage the eye and the models are absolutely gorgeous. Sometimes it can lean a little too much into the fanservice territory but overall I think there's a good balance between the sexy stuff, story and character interaction.

One thing that made me interested in the game was the fact that it has an assertive and chilled out MC. He's not wimpy or dull which has become a troubling standard in adult games, or the MC is just an asshole. In this game, he's quite fun to insert as.

+ kissing renders/scenes looks fantastic
+ beautiful girls and none of them are bitchy or annoying
+ just a relaxing game, without any deep story or drama
+ assertive & likable mc, he is really great
+ music
+ funny moments
+ Hannah and her cute jealousy

- not a lot of content, game is pretty short right now

I really enjoyed this avn. Easy 5 stars from me

Ive literally just started this game but I love Lilliths introduction. not only is she incredibly hot she is hilarious and my favorite type of women in these sorts of games. If the rest of the girls are as well introduce i think this will be a great game.

Review of v0.5

I'm always apprehensive of fantasy and magical-realism AVNs. The unbounded freedom the subgenres offer to authors often results in ill-conceived bullshit full of plot holes and silly ideas taken seriously. So far Adored by the Devil has mostly avoided bullshit (though there are some plot holes) by grounding the story in a likeable enough mc (though I'm not a huge fan of his face) and hot girls with cute quirks.

Empiric's last game was enjoyable but its characters had just about managed to escape from the line to the plane, and were certainly not ready to add the z-axis. This time around the characters already feel more full of life and differentiated from one another, both visually and in personality. It remains to be seen how far Empiric takes that; a purely text-based exposition dump of a sad backstory is not sufficient.

The game is still quite short so this review can't be comprehensive, but here a few miscellaneous points:

• The visuals are great, a massive step up from the last game, and really bring the characters to life.
• The sex scenes are okay; maybe they're missing some extra dialogue, or some better angles, but whatever it is, they're missing the XXX-factor.
• Lilith, assumedly the "Devil" in the title, is clearly best girl but she's been short-changed by making the mc solely think of her as a friend, while she wants more. The problem with Tsundere setups in AVNs is that if you like the girl (and you're supposed to) you want to skip the countless frustrating episodes of nothing happening and get to the bit where the guy starts realising what he's been missing out on. #JustkissforLilith
• The music is hilariously inappropriate. There was a jovial little classical (baroque?) number playing during a detective scene in the morgue; at that point I had to switch it off.
• Cutting between scenes by matching butts and boobs is both inspired and very funny. I'm not sure if that's the intended effect tho.
• Please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee add a harem route all the girls are so cute I don't wanna choose

Ayooooooooooooo that's my review read it and weep demonfuckers

Good Points
+ The Story and Supernatural elements of the game seem quite interesting.
+ Women models & render quality is good and along with interior or outdoor place designs.
+ Most of the girls have their own unique characters and it always feels good while reading VN's. Lility is quite cute (It was lovely when she turned around and closed her eyes while Nina said she could go all the way with MC) and her relationship dynamics with MC is quite cute as well.
+ MC has a cool character and is enjoyable to play.

Bad Points
- Despite having supernatural story elements the game did not use them well enough, the focus seems more on dialogues with the girls, and that's kind of boring and a waste of potential.
- Sex scene animations seem a bit weird, it's almost feels like they are not even having sex and kind of dry-humping. And even when the scene itself says they are having hard and fast sex, we still do not see something hard or fast. And what's up with those body and head movements? They look quite robotic. Basically sex scene animations, especially physics need some improvements.
- Women in the game look good, but they can use some changes. For example, Lilith can use a little bit rounder and just a little bit bigger tits. And Katherine's tits should be less saggy and her hairstyle is not good either.
- Despite MC having a cool character I can't say the same for his hairstyle, he had some hair that would be good, maybe DEV should consider making him grow hair or something.
- Fight scenes can use some QTE options to hit enemies and more pictures.
- Your choices kind of don't matter aside from choosing which girl you gonna have sex with, so there is no actual story (main story) choices you make.

For The End
Well I can't say this is an amazing game, but it's not bad either, if I would say something I would say 3.5 stars a quality game for this, I feel like this game can be a 4-5 stars game, but it needs some fixes, focusing on supernatural aspects a little bit more and improving animations should be biggest priorties, others are mostly small stuff can be ignored as long main things are good enough.

You're just a spectator, you have no influence on the game and can't make any decisions.
The only thing you can choose is "whether to fuck a certain girl or not", but that has no effect on the plot.

However, there are many sex scenes with female characters, and the rendering is excellent.
As far as erotic games are concerned, it still beats many games that clearly have no erotic content but have high ratings.

If some erotic games without any erotic content can get 5 stars, then why not this game?

Review based on .5

Zuri, Katherine, Vivainne, Nina some of my favorites. I would say that I personally really enjoy the variety of bodies that empiric has done in this one from Katherine's realistic massive chest to Zuri's full figure, to Nina's toned muscles.

The writing is definitely a step up from Through Spacetime their previous title. There is an interesting story and I actually found myself reading all the text. This one also takes itself more serious which is a really nice feature. I have to say this is a very impressive VN.

Review for 0.5

It gets stale pretty quick. Demon hunting guild setting and bodyguard plot seemed to work at first but got boring unfortunately. Girls seem to live for boning MC for whatever reason (oh yeah cuz he is the only relevant male in this universe). It tries to be an AVN with story but flat characters and banal dialogues don't hold up to the premise. Yes visuals are good but it is 2023, not going to give 5 stars just for renders.

A Magnificient VN! The story plot is well written. The Characters are very cute and the new characters which are introduced every one of them is just perfect. Hope the VN will keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work dev .

I agree with most of the reviews here (except that one cringe-beast virtue signaling like he bout to bag all the purple-haired baddies from the sociology dept ), Adored by the Devil is an absolute gem.

All the characters are fun, cute and beautiful, even grandpa . The many personalities differ vastly from one another. They have their own manner of speaking and behaving. They come from different places, different norms and different walks of life. They even have their own flaws and shortcomings, something that is easy to undermine because they also have unique quirks and virtues that make them all so lovable. Yet despite these many differences, the characters all share the same goal: to give our MC the gawk-gawk 9000, even grandpa (jk).

The MC is real chill. Not a pussy, nor a dick. One character has stupid big boobas because she is the goddess mommy queen. I hope Empiric continues making the game, despite its evil and "problematic" contribution that has forced 80% of all pornstars into getting boobjobs. You know the profession that relies on naked bodies being filmed in 8k 144fps, naked bodies that fall apart as it ages naturally.

I like the theme and artwork of the game so far. the only thing i can say i personally dislike is the huge saggy chest on katherine. it's just not attractive at all. good character models and story otherwise.
