    I don't play games with Female Protags. I don't play games with NTR in it. unless it's netori and the Male lead is doing the stealing. So why the 5 stars? The Porn Man it has Hott women, great sex scenes. That's it. Look the story is shit so i wouldn't down load it thinking you gonna get a good story with good sex scenes in it. Unless your into Female lead game where she's this big slut and you like NTR crap. But if your into Hott women and good porn this game has plenty of it. Is this a game i would support ? Hell no!!! Is this a game i would down load for free to watch some Hott women and good sex scenes? Yep. So if your horny and don't care for NTR, Sluts, And it being a Female Protag game. Down load it and have a good fap.

    This game is really good. There is a lot of stuff and many different routes. I really enjoyed most of them eventhough some were a bit unlikely. It is definetely needed walktrough mode to see everithing. Otherwise it would take years to get to every scene correctely.
    There are few dislikes for me though. First is insuficcient graphics of cum and overall the act of cumming (male/female) is poorly used. The second one is about low usage of clothing corruption in some paths.

    To summarise it: I would enjoy to play this even more! More scenes and prolonging the path would be awesome.

    Angelica's Temptation from the Beginning (0.3.1 patreon version) is pretty decent game, somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. The story is the most convoluted part because, on the one hand, I like that most things actually fit and can be expected given the situation at the beginning of the game, the previous story and so on. But, on the other hand, the fact that things are so set up from the beginning, with Mark being such a strong temptation for Angelica and Henry being a cheating douchebag from the start makes choices matter little because there is no real reason for her not to go all the way with Mark since the beginning, making her fall way too quick. Which is nice and brings lots of sex to the story, but also makes it advance way too quick, to the point where I believe it should be already close to the end as there isn't much more you can add to it after you resolve the current situation at the end of this update.

    Render quality and character models are pretty good. Animations are quite decent as well, though a bit brief. Sound is a big miss on my part, music is repetitive and adding moaning from porn scenes that don't actually match what is happening is a big no for me, it breaks the immersion. And there are quite a few grammar and english mistakes, but no one should be surprised about those things here.

    So, all in all, a pretty decent game. If it ends soon and well, it would be worth the fourth star definitively, if it is stretched then it probably will fall to the third one.

    i tried this game after the dev brought it up in another thread and found it to be lacking on most things beside the titular Angelica

    For characters and story the writing around everyone besides Angelica is so generic its hurts, Marks the classic big dick black dude bad boy so generic he makes the wimp husband look original. Henry the classic wimp husband so forgettable i had to boot the game back up to remember his name predictable and boring. Angelica pretty great she has depth more so then any other charter in the game and that's good cause she's the pc and having her be the most developed is needed too bad the story underlines any moment for her to grow from her problems on any route u take which sucks but i still find her pretty charming and I'd be happy to see her in a less cookie cutter story that just severs a porno fling to fast track from one scene to the next she deserves better.

    Animations and sex scenes were nothing to sake a stick at but I've seen worse and for a low funded project its passible its no where near as good as Dating My Daughter which is the stander i compare renders and animations too for these types of games but with a lower budget it does it's job and their are a lot of them and i think that's where the time went abundance and verity over better rendering to make the different routes fleshed out. audio was pretty bad on the other hand boring generic loops of moans as most game like this have but once again with a smaller budget that to be expected if it was some one you payed id ask for a refund.

    Technical side scene transitions sucked, lighting was a huge problem during the prolog i almost turned the game off in the from my eyes hurting from the bright to dark scene transitions that were rapid fire as we jumped scene to scene admittedly the lighting got better as i went on but fuck man i couldn't stand it at the start.

    Now for the big one NTR the thing the story's about id have to say meh. its nothing impactful or revolutionary it's just generic ntr if you've read doujins you've probably have had at least read something close enough to already know what going on. People live in a house together ntr happens sometimes they leave the house ntr happens outside the house everyones such a super freak about sex cheating with everyone else already that there's no real impact to anything when they do cheat like Angelica is cheating with people but who cares she did it all the time before any ways.

    And that's my review of Angelica's Temptation: From the Beginning a kinda meh ntr game with a pretty likable gal as the player character that saves it from being just another boring bad 3d render game but doesn't carry the game to be anything great. 2.5/5 (id give it that if i could) Angelica is a treat and id give the game a try if just for her development.

    DoOver

    I completely agree with Nurikabe's review and am quoting some of the same points here:
    • Slut girl becomes slut wife and once a slut, always a slut.
    • Unfaithful bitch will always be unfaithful.
    • The best friend has opportunity after opportunity to redeem himself but fails miserably.
    • Another best friend feeds the wife's addiction instead of caring for her friend.
    • The wife can be better but always chooses not to.
    • All that being said, you CAN choose the "faithful" route which proves to be not as entertaining as the other routes.
    It's porn and a VN with a fine enough story. I didn't care about any of the characters (for the above points) but just kind of went through it for the fap scenes.

    • I did like the models used (I'm a sucker for a tattooed brunette!)...even though they feel like porn cliches (nearly all big tit women; big dick bulls, skinny demasculated slaves, etc.)
    • I like the kinks and different routes the game can go
    • I do appreciate this is RenPy instead of HTML, Unity, etc.
    • Animations are fairly frequent and would be, 'meh', if it wasn't for the added sound effects.
    • Must use the walkthrough!
    I really wish there was a place to check your stats in the different kinks and character traits.
    If there were additional view angels on the sex scenes, then it would make an easy way to enjoy more of the already existing scenes.

    OVERALL:
    Game is worth trying out.
    But for story/writing and likeable characters I think there are better options out there, which is reflected in my 3-star rating.

    Nice game
    Animated scenes and a lot of paths, and the longest prologue in history
    Very hard to follow desired path without walkthrough in my opinion
    Some girls proportions look weird as well as kilometer long dicks on every male except mc's husband

    One of my favorite games. I like that there are a lot of paths with different sex scenes. Especially with cheating. The 3d models are great. Minus that the first scenes are almost all the same, but after the middle of the game the paths branch out.

    Listen, if you are taking the time to read reviews then you are willing to accept an opinion that may differ from your own or the majority. I start with that because this novel is obviously popular. And, of course, what I am about to say is likely an unpopular opinion.

    The game is illustrated well. The story is told well but lacks any real effort to tell an interesting tale. And if you like the feeble-minded tiny dick cuck, a black bull with an 18-incher, and a disloyal, betraying, slut wife — this story is for you.

    Personally, there is not a lot of pleasure in this story (entirely based on my own kink preferences). Slut girl becomes slut wife and once a slut, always a slut. Unfaithful bitch will always be unfaithful. The best friend has opportunity after opportunity to redeem himself but fails miserably. Another best friend feeds the wife's addiction instead of caring for her friend. The wife can be better but always chooses not to. All that being said, you CAN choose the "faithful" route which proves to be not as entertaining as the other routes. The entire story makes for decent, brainless porn.

    I would have zero complaints if the story stuck to the mindless trope of cuck-bull-hotwife. The VN does a fair job of telling that story. But it fails in so many other places. Why paint the wife as being so loving and committed to her husband that she is distraught in her choices to cheat, only to have her cheat over and over? Why have the husband's "best friend" care so much about the man but then unabashedly fuck his wife and everyone else in the family. Or the MC's "bestie" be so in love with her but still drag her into the depths of her addiction and shitty betrayal of her beloved husband? —It's just porn...don't think too much about it!

    As should be expected, this game is near impossible to play without a walkthrough. I would recommend playing the route that excludes Mark (the BBC) but the author obviously wants this to be the main path. Fans of NTR, slut wife, and cheating wife will all enjoy this VN.

    Bottom line: You love the black bull fantasy— then this game is for you. Otherwise, save your time and energy!

    :unsure: :giggle: It's a great game!

    (y)The best thing is that it does not become a simple game and each update brings new elements. Routine games with sexual content there are millions, but games with plot and good characters there are few.

    (n)You have many possibilities and choices, perhaps too many. I would make clear the paths to choose from the beginning. During its development, it would give the possibility of choosing previously discarded paths, but in an exceptional way.

    A wonderful game, I do not like to play as a female character, but not in this case. This game gives the player the opportunity to choose behavior options and the choice really affects the further development of the plot. The plot develops logically in accordance with the choice and makes you wait for further developments. Pictures delight the eye with a flight of imagination and brightness. I think that it would be possible to put 6 :) :love: (y)

    Render Quality: 3/5
    Story: 2/5
    Sounds: 5/5
    Kinks: 5/5
    Animations: 4/5
    NTR handling: 2/5

    After my 4 or 5th attempt i finally finished the game, like, literally, because of the "from the beginning" part, it was too damn long and was containing lots of unnecessary info (saying this after completing the game) As a fem protag connoisseur i never cared about anyone beside ange's life, so anything thats going around Mark was utter waste of time, at least for people that came for fem protag tag like me. Dev need to cool down the tone with Mark, his presence was so strong even on other paths.

    Kind Nightmares

    If you think, that main character in this game is Angie - you're dead wrong. MC is Mark. He is god himself. Invincible owner of a harem with the who fuck knows how many women from around the world. No matter which path you choose for Angie, he still will be fine in sea of boobs. So yes Mark - my biggest con of this game, but not from jealosy.

    If I'm being honest I liked him quite some time ago. I wouldn't mind if male protagonists from other games will be more like him. However after some time he started to annoy me. There're few different paths for Angie to end this game. More interesting for me was two lesbian Paths with Arya where Mark, despite all my avoidance, will still get a few girls for his harem including Angie's lil sister. But more important thing is that if Angie will deside not being in open relationship with Arya (or whatever Arya force her to be in), Arya will end up in monogamous relationship with Mark and will give birth to his child. Ironic af.

    This game could easily have become one of my favorites: the renders are nice, the sex scenes are hot, the storytelling is good, but there was an Mark-overdose.

    This review is for me:

    In a moment of almost no clarity I decided to download the game trying to find new experiences. The preview images at the time were enough to make me curious, and also i had read some reviews and they were on the positive side. I also like games that eat my hard drive which I associate with content.

    I began my playthrough and the first thing i noticed is that lighting is boring and the first couple of renders are average-bad.
    Second thing i notice is the MC is a voluptuous fake bimbo with a face of the comic book Joker. The next thing happening is that she goesto work, i guess, and i see the receptionist who is the msot disgusting ugly female of any most ugly female competition. Coming from my previous first impresions my mood was absolutely killed in the spot and i had to stop it and delete the game.

    Now seeing the previews again with a clearer head, i see every girl is a copypasted bimbo with over the top wrong proportions and awful deformations to the point that i can see creases where they shouldnt be.

    I made the roght decision for myself. To the me of the future: if you come back here, just dont.

    Ranting Old Man

    This game gets a solid 3 stars from me and only is completion will decide if I go up or down. So let's start,

    Renders 3/5: It's hard to impress me here rarely do I go above a 3. They aren't the greatest but far from the worst.

    Story 2/5: I docked some points pretty hardcove on this, not because I thought it was terrible, but because it's stereotypical, overdone and unbelievable. The intro Set the tone for my opinion and it's going to take alot to get me to change my mind here. It would be one thing if Alice fucked Mark for his protection, but to turn on her own son completely at that age over an obvious bully and liar? Yup that's going too far. Not to mention Mark is nothing more than the Stereotypical Alpha BBC antagonist Trope with the magical dick that turns women stupid. Yeah that one is WAY over done. Secondly for the story most of the paths are Mark focused or tie into Mark the hero some how, The Dev clearly wants you to like him, well too bad, Mark is the character I like the least, No matter how you justify it he's scum, he picks on the weak, he cheats, he's a murderer, he's a criminal, he's a liar and he's a manipulator.
    The None Mark paths are hit and miss, so the story is only deserving of 2 out of 5.

    Characters 3/5:

    I'll rate each primary character.
    Angel 5/5: She had a lot of porno stereotypes in her appearance but her character is a believable one. The only Character that isn't following complete garbage Tropes and that had any sense of morality. Her struggle is one that I can believe and she quickly became the best character in the story.

    Mark 1/5: This character is such an over used Trope it's not even funny. His character is completely boring and predictable.

    Henry 2/5: Henry is almost as bad as Mark as far as Tropes go and predictability. He's very unlikable but given how he was literally tormented by not only his best friend but also his own mother and girlfriend I think he deserves to have some emotional scars that are far worst than just some of his cuck behaviors. That being said Henry paths do offer him a few redemption arcs in the eyes of Angelica which start to make him a slightly less worst character than Mark. Moving on....

    Aria 3/5: I want to score Aria higher but as previously pointed out, Aria has no concept of love yet claims she's so in love with her best friend Angel. Aria is also a cheater and a liar so even on her paths she ends up being worst than Mark and Henry, the only reason why she scores higher than then is because the rest of her personality is believable and she isn't an overused Trope.


    The game isn't finished and I reserve the right to change my opinion as well as my Ratings, what I think would help alot is giving Angelica her own Revenge path. It's clear that everyone with the exception of Henry is trying to use her and steal her affections away and bring her back into the trama that her condition has caused her. In other words they don't actually care that much about her only care what they can get from her. If she had a path where she figured it out and used this knowledge against them, learning the truth about Mark and Henry's past and deciding that she would get justice for her husband on his behalf by stealing Marks Harem from him and forcing him to go through all kinds of humiliations in the process, while simultaneously Doming Aria and using her as her personal play toy for her and Henry teaching her the lesson, "becareful what you wish for, you just might get it". This would fulfill NTR, Cheating. Swinging, Dom Sub and a bunch of other fetishes while sticking true to the characters and the story. After all it doesn't matter how "Alpha" Mark is, it's clearly stated that Angelica is better at it, has power over him and someone he is actually in love with, what could be more humiliating than the woman he loves helping the man he looks down on steal the rest of the women away from them, each one waking up from the fantasy he had them in figuring out how he used them for his own interests and they all turn on him one at a time until the last one when Angelica comes for Alice, time to be a good mommy for once.

    Food for thought! The game is still enjoyable and has some great experiences to out it's definitely worth a play.

    This game is definitely the best 3Dcg NTR game I've ever played, very few games of the same genre have as good graphics as this one (Animation with sound effect). There are 10 routes for you to play so use the guide to make sure you don't miss any content.

    If you are into BBC ntr this one is a MUST play, characters are hot and pretty kinky as they seem to be directly taken out from some porn movie or something, not complaining there, I mean is a porn game after all, so we have the nymphomaniac MC (literally) who is married to the typical cuck husband, the also pretty hot best friend (lesbian content) and the BBC bull.

    Game has many routes, the decisions you make somekind matters as they determine in which route you are and the scenes you are able to watch , as result of this there is also many endings, so as you can guess this game has a very nice replayability.

    If I would have to say something bad of the game it would be that is kinda hard to know how many routes are and how to get them without the walkthrough, also, after the intro the story can get pretty much linear (something that is also a good thing for somepeople), so as you can see, none of this reasons are enough to give this game 4 stars as there is a nice walkthrough available.

    Kinky, hot characters, fair amount of content and sex scenes, 5 stars.

    The lesbian sex sure is great. There are a few inconsistencies here and there, such as her such as FL's face seem to change a bit at starting, but who cares. The developer has made up for it by making rest of the things great. Not completed the full game, but would like to see spit kissing, golden shower, that kind of kinky stuff. Good job overall!

    I feel like the game is pretty well written, yes its a bit of a porny fuckfest but I felt like it wasnt a totally unbelievable premise. 3 attractive people who have been repressing their urges for each other finally giving in. Some minor spoilery stuff in here.

    Game has a very healthy amount of sex scenes but I dont feel like they are just dropped in at random. There is a plot for those interested or plenty of sex to skip to for those not.

    Most of these kinds of game very poorly articulate the reasons behind the cheating/corruption, even when the reason is just "they are horny" and feels like porn set up level of plot delivery. Decent reason and agency given here to Angelica wanting to cheat on her husband. the man is a douchey whiney slug with microscopic self esteem who takes her for granted and runs off throwing a tantrum at the first sign of conflict, at no point did I feel sorry for him or care about his feelings.

    Aria is a wild girl but so far I feel like she's not a caricature, she knows what she wants and isnt really interested in being coy about it, know many people like her IRL who just have no time for playing nice. Shes wildly in love with Angelica (and of all the characters I feel like she has Angelica's best interests at heart despite her wild ways)

    Mark is a complicated character, he is somewhat grey area, seems a bit shady but also one of the most honest of the bunch, like aria, is in love with Angelica and has been for a while. given what a slug the husband is . its not unbelievable that he would decide he was going to stop playing "bros before hos" to win the woman of his dreams.

    The husband has no redeeming qualities at all, there is nothing to make people feel sorry for him or want to see his redemption.

    I couldnt get past the flashback!
    >The renders are good(Angelica looks great, young Angelica looks like ass though)
    >The scenes are good too
    >The story i cant judge cause like i said I couldnt get past the flashback which is like half an hour of total playtime on my part

    Now for the reason i couldnt get past the flashback: the characters.
    All of them seem like absolute pieces of shit except angelica and her therapist, the flashback was super heavy on ntr with heavy focus on raceplay (which is just not my cup of tea). I understand this is simply not my kink and thats why i dont like it so i wont give this game a low rating, since it seems to be made really well for those that do enjoy these kinks. Hell one could even argue that they did the ntr so well that i couldnt stomach it and had to quit. The story with her husband's mother simply broke my heart and I dont recommend this game to anyone who isnt really into ntr cause this game leaves a terrible aftertaste otherwise.

    Okay game if you are looking for something specific in the fetish genre.

    Mechanically the renders are kind of meh and the animations are poorly done. The character models are fine but they go for those hentai FFF sized boobs which again - if thats your thing cool but to me its lame. You can give a girl big boobs without them being ridiculous.

    Story - it is unique to say the least. trigger warning -the game starts with the MC being raped and she gets raped again off screen later in the story. The nymphomania aspect was at least different and the things going on in the background where interesting enough to keep you entertained from one sex scene to the next. Its not a story that at all stands on its own but thats fine it doesn't need to like I said this game is about the fetishes.

    Characters - they are all shitty people lol and Angelica seems like the only one trying to hold on. There is no redemption arcs for anyone in this story so keep that in mind that if you think you can redeem a character for angelica - you cant. The game leans really fucking hard into the race play too. Wish for once you could have an NTR/swinging game that wasn't "oh man the big ole scary black man climbing up in you windows snatching yo people up".

    Game is sitting at a well deserved 3.5/5.

    Some games with swinging/NTR appeal to a wide audience because its either avoidable, treated as a punishment, or is based not in humiliations but mutual enjoyment/open relationships - this is not one of them. Only play this game if you are looking for a cuckold humiliations type game.
