Ren'Py - Area69 [v0.825] [k78Games]

V.60

One of the few new great games.

It just brilliant execution of plain old young guy packed with big dick has hareem problem.

Character design is good, renders good. Interface is good and need minor polishing.

Game may grinding you can avoid with mod...

This game is okay. It's not bad. It's not amazing. It's okay. Worth a play if you're running out of things to play. I don't consider it a waste of my time, but I also think it took more of my time than it ought to have (based on the type of experience it provided).

Pros:

• Multiple women, most of which are attractive (also tied to a con)
• Unique story (also tied to a con)
• Replayable scenes with multiple angles
• Built-in guide/quest tracker of sorts... doesn't tell you everything though

Cons:

• Quite a few ugly women. This is subjective obviously but there are some really old women, some really muscular women, etc
• Too many women = takes a long time to get content for them
• Story kinda takes itself seriously but it's kinda not a great story at the same time.
• Unavoidable psuedo-NTR with the "landlady" character (vampire rapes her)
• Quite grindy, lot of actions that you have to repeat multiple times all for "muh progression"

Mixed Feelings:

• Animation exists, sort of. Its like a 6-picture slide show being played quickly. It works. Would have liked actual animation

Gotta say this was a decent surprise for me. Now I'm not a huge NTR fan but I'm not bother by it in terms of plot progression, and this would be the biggest turn off for alot of people here when it comes to the story where the main characters dilemma is focusing more on getting the girls out of situations or taking advantage. For example Julia, and then her sister Emma and her entire family. Emma's family is being haunted and possessed by nymphs ghosts where they're fucked or possessed into fucking everything. And then Julia is being mind controlled by vampires in situations. However the game itself is great. The animations are top notch, the story is decently engaging on all character plots the MC pursues, and the newest 0.6 update has added ALOT of good content to the existing story already, plus adding and expanding more on scenes. The grind is a little on the high side, but the cheat mod linked in the thread helps immensely without truly effecting the experience In a negative way. I can honestly say I'm excited to see how this progresses from here on out

v0.60

Honestly very hard to rate this game.
The content i,e renders, characters and story ranges from great to interesting, but it's such a shame that it comes in such a, frankly "shit" package.

The map and UI is so grossly convoluted and hard to get around, even with time spent to get used to the setup it's still impossible imo to get a flow going where you go"from here to there".

The fact that obviously a lot of time and effort has gone into making the sandbox side of this is so infuriating, because apart from some almost impossible rng scenes, and that it is super tricky/hard to know where and when to activate scenes, the whole og it is really well done.

I tried it two times.
First time I shortly gave up cause of the grind.
Second time I installed some hacked saves with lotsa $ and full relationship for all the LIs to make the start easier. Unfortunately that meant that one quest got bugged, but it seems it was a relatively unimportant one.

After over 4hrs of playing through, I am still only at 83% (84/101 scenes), and it's not for a lack of trying. There is also forks in the story, which I can honestly say I didn't care for. It only means I have to spend even more time to get maybe only 2-4 special scenes, which is hidden behing lots of other already seen scenes of course.

There are good thingsabout the UI like I mentioned, but it's the standard ones, good quest menu, hints are helpful to a degree and it's looking really well-made.

Less really is more, and would ring true for this game if it were, less unnecessary features to slog through.

Characters are the best part of this game and comes in many shapes and sizes.

Writing has loads of spelling errors and wrong prounouns etc...
Story is interesting with a big mix of many mythological & sci-fi creatures.

At some points the flow of the scenes fall apart and it gets very disjointed since there are a lot of characters and equally many stories, with many of them unfortunately not mixing together, so solution is to not have any structure other than that MC gets dragged around in many crazy scenarios.

It's har to rate it as it honestly deserves 3 stars as it. 5 stars if it were simpler to get around between scenes.
But as it stands and I haven't even gotten all the scenes after countless attempts it lands at a 2.5/5 stars.

P.S. There are many other things that can be saidabout the game, both good and bad but I got tiredof finding reasons justify the rating. It honestly deserves a better rating...

What is the purpose of tags if they are not used? That scene with Julia is disgusting, it's a new level of NTR. And why do people insist on creating sandbox games? These types of games are always a buggy mess. They should create a new tag called Grinding, as spending several hours doing the same thing to pretend the game has content isn't much fun.

Well i played with incest patch
That's why its good.
I am a fan of rape with sleepsex
This game did that good
But excepting more rape with lucy
I can't do fun with when she's sleep
And there is so much easter eggs in this game For the future updates
That's good actually that makes game very interesting.
So yeah bring more good content

better than i expected, have more time of gameplay than i thought, i play a bout 1hour or more and don t finished

.UI exelent inteface navigation and map

.all characters are completely different from each other, there are characters for everything you like
animation and sounds every where

one of the best 3DCG i ever played

While the genre is horror, it is really not sinister at all, more humorous.
The story is very enjoyable, and especially the graphical aspects are often very funny. Writing is OK.

The arts and models and renderings were remarkable and refreshing, in particular the facial expressions.
While I generally find it commendable that various body types are "celebrated", I personally would have preferred to be able to completely opt out, e.g., of granny and pregnant stuff. (At least in the intro one cannot avoid any LI, which slightly killed my mood. Afterwards this can be mostly but not completely avoided, I think).
But apart from those two LIs, I found everyone else quite attractive.

I really disliked the sandbox mechanics. Horrible grind. I soon started to use a cheat mod; this solved the money problems, but still things are confusing and annoying (you already know what you want to do, but still need some cryptic trigger and be at the place on a specific time etc etc. These problems might arise because the cheating breaks some things; but as I said without cheating the grind is unbearable.)

But despite the unpleasant mechanics I find the game overall very good.

Watching paint dry boring is what this story/game is, there is no way that this project is supposed to be long term.

Story 2/10 Extremely rushed story line, with very bad sense of timing when it comes to the mix of earning cash, gaining stats and such.
The story is just not interesting, it is made boring by the fact there is no sense if timing, no suspense, no emotional engagement. Just a mix of supposed nightmare scenarios mixed with a ridiculous vampire theme and sex. There is no quality in the story in any way.

Renders 4/10 Although the ages of certain characters are supposed to be much older, these ones look pretty hideous for the most part. Could have made them a little prettier, somewhat of a hag fest going on for many of the older characters.
The quality of the renders isn't bad, seen better. The hag fest thing really drops the overall interest in the story/game.

Playability 4/10 Pretty easy to earn money and do the work to increase stats, there are quite a few locations to go to around the map and the overall system is not confusing.

Animations 1/10 This is the worst part of the whole story/game. Unbelievably bad animations, really amateur hour when it comes to this part. With the higher quality graphics it would be logical to have more than the pop it in and 2 seconds later bam done , loopy, amateur and lazy animations. There are 8 or more views of the sex scenes and every one of them is a cheap 2 second loop. No other position options, how unimaginative. Poor animations makes for horrible games. There is better out there, this one is best skipped for those.

Writing 2/10 Grammar errors and mixed languages in game, means it was not proofread.

Overall play experience 1/10 After playing through the chapters, pretty much felt like it was a complete waste of time. As well as not being interesting enough to play again when more content comes out. The continue play desire is just not there.
This project should be completely redone by someone that has more experience in making quality story/games.

Phenomenal game. From the intro you already know what to expect with six vastly different women presented in bikinis with a short animated daydream scene for each of them, which itself is one of the hottest sequences I have ever seen.
The dev took a huge risk with this project, since most people only like boring cookie cutter barbies that you see reused in about every third game, but k78 offers something for everyone: young, milf, gilf, pregnant, thin, curvy, muscular, vampire, ghost and even more!
I am very thankful for him taking risks, and it proves how passionate he is about the project and does not just want the money.
Plus, the UI is very well done too, clean and helpful for tracking everything from relationships to quests and stats. Animations are not always smooth, but I still love their style. Progression is simple, items seem very expensive at first but if you save up to learn programming you will be swimming in money in no time.
My only complaint is the dialogues being rather short, which also makes the erotic scenes too fast, and English translation is a little rough, but I understand they are working on improving it, so hopefully they will also improve their writing in general as well.
5 stars, one of my favorites.

First thing I must say about Area69 is that is a fun game.

The story seems a collage of many monster B-movies, well glued to be interesting in a not grindy sandbox style game.

There are many attractive girls in the game, but I liked a lot the diversity. When I first saw the MC's friend pregnant mother, I couldn't believe it. The developer has made the effort to model even stretch marks.

Played version: 0.50.

Updated review after playing version 0.74: For me, still one of the best games of the site.

Great animation, awesome sound effects, not too grindy, and a unique story, this game really hits the sweet spot and makes me wanting more and more of it.
This game was so good, I literally got patreon just to support the K78Games. Thank you developer for a great adult VN

v0.46

Its not great but its also not bad.

Is the story great? Not the best it feels very rushed at times, it took a whole whooping 10 minutes in to have the "landlady" get intimate with the MC and the same goes for other characters. All it takes is to finish their extremely straightforward requests and you're certified fuck buddies.

Grind is a non issue here, you can max out all stats relatively quickly and money is so easily obtained that it dose feel pointless to even include it with how few purchasing options there are.

The horror aspect is done ok, it can be more comedic than scary at times but it dose not shy away from violence or gore. Expect a few snuff and rape scenes. None of those scenes I'm talking about are optional so if blood is a real turn off you might wanna avoid.

What the dev dose best though is renders, sex scenes, and overall good looking women that are unique looking and realistic for a porn game. The Milfs/Old Women actually look their age and the Boxer looks like she'd break the MC's spine if she feels like it.


Overall if you don't mind poor english, wrinkles in your milfs and sexual/non-sexual violence then give it a try.

review based on 0.46 version
- good cg (with some unavoidable herontophilia)
- good animations
- good ui
- most quests deadends marked in journal(but after some those marks some content left)
- not bad story
- good scripts
NEUTRAL:
- original game lang is spanish (that not pointed in description), also all game scripts writed in spanish (thats mean- hard to read it)
CONS:
- unavoidable herontophilia (im not fan of that)
- some spanish untranslated lines
- hoodie in shop almost invisible (black thig at black background... great idea)
- some bugsa presents like julia icon indicated in 2 rooms at same time.

good game with good amount content, but contain unavoidable doze of herontophilia.

Wtf, I really can't believe the bad reviews given to this game.

The art is fantastic! You really have older milfs instead of what you see in so many other games in which milfs look like 30 year olds with big tits. There are vampires and other stuff that certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's very clearly described in the game's description so people who don't like this stuff shouldn't even bother playing.

The UI is gorgeous and the quest system makes gameplay very smooth and easy. Story is cool and the lewd scenes are quite good as well.

This game is overall fantastic and I really don't understand how people could give it 1/5. I'm really looking forward for further releases and I'm glad to see that the dev has been releasing new content on a regular basis.

Category: Video Game
Version: 0.42
Visual novel/Script: 4
Gaming experience: 5
Graphic quality: 4
Character development: 5
Xcitement: 4

Plot is nice but the sexual tension build up is quite fast, there are sudden leaps forward. Maybe a bit more of teasing would be better as character relationship evolves. Many scenes are quite short and things happen fast. The game has potencial as there are multiple plot lines to develop in the future.
Would help the map grind by adding random encounters, or easter eggs (like characters cards could be found roaming through the map)
Characters have a nice design (more realistic than others) including not the regular perfect chars. Some body parts for characters seem quite weird in some positions, specially ankles when lying on bed or sitting on a couch.
Char personality development can be improved, as well as adding more backgound to the relations between them.
Game experience is good, free roaming / sandbox, in-game economy, MC stats, missions, map hints on character location. The mobile phone could be exploited more, adding more functionalities.
Good work.

5 stars, one of my favorites.

Game is amazing a lot of content right now and so much potential.

The Models are amazing, they look really realistic.

There is so much to do in this game.

I like when there is a bit grind in the game but here it's not too much. I mean it's a sandbox game there should be grinding...

Very interesting story so far.

English could be better.

Overall i love this game 5/5

Looking forward for more!

Well what to talk about it.

Possibly one of the worst things I played. The models are not bad, I see a lot of people complaining about the models here but this is one of the only good things here, realism, no 20 year old milf. And no teenager with a milf body.

The second thing that could be good was the story's premise, unfortunately Dev managed to destroy that. What I mean is, vampires, it is a theme that is very appreciated by many, fiction and fantasy if you know how to explore, you have a multitude of possibilities. But what I see here is the story, plus a fuck party.

As a NTR hater, I played the entire game up to att 0.44, and I couldn't really feel an NTR feeling, because the story is so poor that you as a player can't empathize with any "LI" in the game. Maybe someone who likes the NTR / sharing style will. But I think even they are disappointed here ... hahahah

That said, if you just want a fap I recommend going to pornhub, less time wasted. If you are looking for history look for another game.

I didn't understand Tag Romance, and many others are missing, like orgy (Emma / MC / Padre family), sharing. swing (Emma and husband / Samuel and Ava) and lots of other shit out there.

This is one of the few games on this site that does more things wrong than it does right. The game is one hot mess! The character models are a joke and most are terrible looking.

The writing is poor and the English bad.

The game feels like someone's twisted and nonsensical nightmare (and not in a good way). I really wanted to play a game that had vampires and other fantasy elements in it but this one is poorly executed to put it mildly.

Save yourself some time and avoid this one at all costs.
