Ren'Py - Area69 [v0.83] [k78Games]

Pros:
Varied body design
varied story line
tons of extra content
pathways clear and non-distracting for a sandbox
great balance of sex-comedy & paranormal , and story line that doesn't overstay their welcome.
Variety of storyline is great
Cons:
due to sandbox nature of this game, you will feel tired of repetetive dialogues or sometimes this can be annoying, special annoying segment being picking, dancers and girls at the bar and the lab beneath the school. both are very tiring , and I gave up in between.

There is grind for money and stats at the starts , But after sometime it becomes breezy

May story lines are still incomplete , but that is not a con, more like you played it at a wrong time.

Final verdict as of 0.83 v
great light-hearted sex comedy which doe something unique with its paranormal premise, and doesn't trap you unlike other games which uses paranormal as a gimmick. Stories are sometimes really tragic, fun and and bonkers in most fun sense of the world. Just beware that if you are playing for grinding to get every sex scene, you might start to hate it so my recommendation, don't worry about getting each Easter egg, play it like it is meant to be a low stakes , yet fun game, and you will love .it. It surely did the same for me,.
4.4/5

This is the game in my top 3. I like it very much. It is not so easy, not too hard or stupid. It is fully interactive, you can do whatever you want. There are good pictures and animation quality. In some way the character faces are strange, but it does not make them less sexy. All girls are attractive: young, old, fat or skinny. All of them gives me please.
Please, do not stop development.

Version 0.83 Played this a few times and finally time to do a review. This is a horror type game, with incest (with patch) some really good graphics and a pretty decent story.

First is the LIs are diverse, you have cute young sis, some school friends, mom, grandma, aunt, etc etc. Now things are pretty much on the more realistic side and some of the LIs may not be your cup of tea. I found them refreshing and interesting. You got an older fat principal that is pretty nasty, but heck I liked banging her as well.

So if you like the occasional old prostitute, principal, cellulite ass this is pretty good stuff. If you don't you shouldn't play this and drop a review cause its really full of MILFs and GILFs that ...look like they should.

Vampires, space aliens, werewolves, and an endearing old dirty prostitute round this game out. I liked it all.

The game itself is pretty darn good, with a guide to walk you through it.

Lots of content, original stuff, and a rather enjoyable play, I didn't skip any of the dialogue and was wanting more when I finished it.

Refreshing and well made, I found absolutely zero errors, prior reviews speak of them, I didn't get any, so must have been fixed.

An enjoyable ride if you dig GILFs and scary eyebrows.

must-play for anyone looking for realistic older looking women. the mom, aunt, grandma and teacher just do something to me that makes me shrug off the horror/comedy setting that I'm usually not a fan of.

+ realistic milf/gilf models. seriously they are a 10/10
+ variety of characters, all with distinct looks and personalities
+ fair and balanced sandbox grind. plenty of stuff to grind for, but never felt frustrated

- animations are choppy, dev is clearly better with still images
- UI is laggy, often it'll take a second for a menu to pop up, or an image to fadeout. can feel like a unity game at times.
- quest menu could use an overhaul. wish it showed the character for each quest, as well as a hint on exactly what to do next (some quests have this, some don't)

Ok I'm sorry if I'm over-rating this but I've been searching for a proper Horror porn game for the Halloween season and this absolutely delivered. It's weirdly difficult to find as most games with horror and corruption focus so little on the horror but I mean, this might as well be the Trick R Treat of porn games: you got werewolves, you got vampires, aliens, ghosts and possession, a little angel and demon tease, and more I barely even started.. That's already enough but I hear there's ntr which is a plus imo, and honestly it's not everyone's thing but I happen to really love all the different types of women, realistic looking milfs and muscular women can be touchy with normie audiences but this dev is doing the lord's work. (Also I've seen some reviews lamenting technical problems, I can't speak on that but it works fine on my machine )

The game contains many image errors, errors when clicking on certain items, and this always generates a traceback, replacing the previous one.
The game's developer never appears here to even attempt to resolve anything. I've also tried contacting him by email and never received a response. In the Developer Notes section, he says that if there are any errors or bugs, please send him a message at this address.
The game has been in development since 2020, has received few updates, and has been generating errors incessantly, with almost nothing being resolved. The game is here on this forum because someone who supports the developer decided to post the game they downloaded on Patreon here. No one wants to pay for a game's Patreon to simply post a message pointing out certain bugs.

the game is very good but man i get so many error messages, now i tried downloading it to see if i wouldnt get them but after exporting my saves aand trying to run them it gives me the same grey error page and make me start the game all over again, which i will not do.

Alright, so what can I tell ya? This game is a blast. The supernatural theme is really cool and right up that alley of what you usually find in geek culture, think vampires, werewolves, ghosts, all that good stuff. But let's be honest, at its core, it's a porn game. I'm giving it a 5. I see so many reviews here that are just dripping with personal preference, and honestly, it's like, 'Lighten up, people!' Everyone's so cranky. If you're after a serious simulator or a game with a super deep narrative, you should probably check out Steam for some big-budget AAA titles. Or, you know, do some more digging on this site...

• The story's pretty simple, but who cares? I wasn't playing it for the groundbreaking plot; I'd just read a romance novel if that's what I wanted.
• One small thing: the interface is fine, totally usable, but don't expect anything mind-blowing.

After finishing the game (ver. 0.83) I can safely say this game was not my cup of tea for a number of reasons, I've sadly found it more annoying than enjoyable mostly due to how the sandbox is handled.


Before getting into the positives and negatives, I must say, if you don't like seeing people having sex other than the MC then this game might not be for you.

This game has a lot of sex scenes and quite a few of them are LIs, side LIs or just NPCs having sex with other people in either dream scenes, imagination scenes or in 'real life'.

The LI and side LI scenes are usually due to mind control and I know, the MC is not in a relationship with them at that exact time (although I don't think this game have any real relationship building to begin with), but I personally don't like it when it happens at all - the context doesn't matter for me.

I know that the definition of NTR or NTR-adjacent is up to personal interpretation so I'm not going throw around the word, however I couldn't tolerate 90% of the lewd scenes where the MC wasn't present.


First the good things:
- nice/modern UI
- diverse character models and they are unique (old characters are actually look old in this game)
- renders are mostly great, posing and lightning is good (well, better than in most games)
- assets are unique (not the same reused assets you've seen in many games)
- I haven't encountered any bugs, which is great considering this is a big sandbox game


The not so good:
- random chance events and random event outcomes, you can never convince me that having random chance events is a good idea, it just wastes the user's time
- every single move skips time: traveling to a location, speaking to someone for 3 lines of dialogue - it could've easily coded in a way when you interact with a character for only a short time it doesn't happen
- the time skips will get really annoying after a while because the rollback is blocked after initiating a conversation with someone
- hints are usually good, but it's hidden behind clicking 4 times to see 1 quest hint, it should be visible by default on the main UI and not hidden behind so much clicking, furthermore the available events/quests should be visible on the map
- you only get hints about the quests, you'll have to find and look for other character interactions (lewd scenes) and it becomes quite tedious to find all of them with all the unnecessary time skipping
- energy management is tiresome, you could easily end up in the hospital (you'll be sent to the hospital if your energy drops below 0 and cumming will use a lot of energy) and thus dropping out of your active quest event and have to do it again later because the event completion trigger did not fire since you got sent to the hospital mid event...
- oscillating/parallax lewd scenes, every single lewd scene moves around a bit which just got me motion sick and didn't enhance my viewing experience so I had to remove it from the code
- lewd scenes are mostly short and while it could be said that they are animated, it usually is a low frame rate animation or slideshow if you will
- sharing/swinging: some avoidable but also some not so avoidable, not sure why it's not tagged accordingly
- quite a few characters (Mom, Aunt, Cousin and some other side LIs) are stripping in the night club
- Mom is in a lesbian relationship
- however the main culprit is Ava as she'll have sex with the household (grandma, aunt, cousin) before the exorcism scene, if you choose not to exorcise her she is able to grow a cock and will fuck them with it, luckily you can have her not use her cock when you are present (you won't see it anymore) but I think it's implied that she fucks them with it regardless


This game is REALLY not respecting your time, there is no grind per se, but the sandbox features are implemented in a way that you'll waste a lot of time 'unlocking' everything the game has to offer.

Honestly I would rate it below average, but that's mostly because of some of the kinks, so I'm not going to do that. I probably should've 'researched' first what's in the game before playing it, so I can't in good conscience give it a lower rating because of the kinks involved.

i liked the overall design and UI of the game, the story is ...mehh, the characters can be cringe sometimes ig, and oh man the protagonist is so unbearable to me. but that's only me, guess it's not my type of games.

While I enjoy the individual stories and scenes, I can’t get past the overall incoherence of the game. Within each individual story, there’s some connection to the respective characters that makes you care about them. However, because all the characters are ever-present, the stories begin to feel flat. There’s no real consequence or connection between events throughout the town. In its current state (v0.82), the only characters that stand out to me are Evelyn and Andrea, as they seem to have personal interests beyond simply existing and sleeping with the main character.

That said, I must highlight the scenes. In terms of variety, there isn’t a lot of niche or special content (at least as far as I’m aware), but the number of characters and scenes is impressive. There’s no shortage of opportunities to "connect" with the various gals, and the sheer volume of scenes adds to the game’s appeal.

However, there are a few aspects I found frustrating. First are the minigames on the computer. Honestly, they make no sense in the context of the game. I get that the developer might want to showcase their skills, but what’s the point? How many players (ask Patreon supporters) are actually interested in playing the puzzles or other games? The money rewards are negligible, especially since most players will likely complete the programming quest early on because the first big purchase you need is the laptop. While the minigames don’t progress time, they just feel like filler content saying, “Don’t close the game; we have so much to offer.”

Another issue is the time separation for individual events. For example, I ended up with the championship quest as my last objective because it relies on maxing out strength, which initially doesn’t seem as rewarding as, say, the x-videos quest. Also, having all the events take place on a single day while waiting for a character’s recovery felt tiring—I just wanted to get it over with.

Overall, it’s not a bad game. It won’t make my top 10 for various reasons, but it still offers some enjoyable moments and a bit of, shall we say, "hand exercise." I’d recommend giving it a try, though—after all, who am I to say what’s objectively good?

Girls full of characteristics, tall, short, fat and thin.
The sex scenes are animated. Skin texture is fine.
The game has monster girls, old women, BBW, and pregnant women.
There's bloody sex, hopefully there'll be corpse-bangs in the future, skull fucks or
Nipple fucking.

amazing lore and game, very nice renders kudos for the dev, hope the game develops faster. I'll be supporting it for sure. Love the monster like characters as well and I would love to see Hybrid werewolf and vampire

Edit (v0.825):
This is a review for an older version of the game. Many of my complaints have been addressed through a QoL update, so I'm updating my review score.

Old review for posterity:
This was just a frustrating experience. Could've been one of those great games that appeals to broad demos, but nope.

-Forced NTR (It's not just the vampire, other guys will be sexually involved with your LIs and you will have to watch. The game does not warn you when a quest contains forced NTR.)
-Terrible quest direction (Quests log will frequently have objectives that aren't what you're actually supposed to be doing, you will have to guess or search the forum)
-Game punishes you for choosing the sexy options. (Sexy scenes frequently compete with stat gains, so you either gain str or see tits.)
-Arousal system is just stupid. Again, punishing people for choosing the porn in a porn game. (You don't even get a scene where people react to you spurting semen like a water hose in public, you just magically appear in your room like nothing happened.)
-Time keeping is clunky. Dev would've been better off to look at how other sandbox VNs do it, because they do it so much better.
-They limit rollback for ... reasons?? Whatever the reason it is, it just comes across like the dev wants to waste more of your time.

It gets 2 stars because the models look good and it's writing isn't engrish.

This game is a visual treat with impressive renders and a well-crafted storyline that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The characters are thoughtfully designed, each with unique personalities that add depth to the narrative. The choices feel meaningful, letting you shape the story in exciting ways. With its immersive visuals and engaging plot, this Ren'Py game is a must-try. It has all the ingredients to become a standout title in its genre. I also expect to see more animations, not only images.

THIS IS THE BEST UNDERRATED GAME THERE IS! Milfs and Gilfs all over the place. Game play is worth it. So many options. Play one time good mode. play one time bad mode. interesting story as well. Sarah is the best. dont for get to work out the girls too.

I am quickly becoming a hater of sandbox VNs. Can't any Dev stop wasting my time? This is an absolute waste of a what would other wise be a crazy batshit premise of a story, with good variety of models, and fairly decent animations. Seriously, the building blocks are here. The Choices seem to matter. With the exception of the personality system the choices can lead to more content or less. The personality system seems completely broken and pointless though. That should go.

But the big problem is 100% the sandbox. There's even a cheat system available to add money to help mitigate the grind. And aside from giving you infinite money, they're practically worthless. Seriously, having to play this legit should be reserved as some form of psychological torture, because I couldn't imagine this without that handy tool. And the dev, doesn't completely leave the reader hanging. They give you a checklist ... but absolutely no direction of what to do first. Where to go to trigger a new event or even what needs to be done first before you can trigger the next scene.

When I started going through this I, no joke, stumbled into a sexual exorcism without even understanding why or how it happened. What did I do to cause this? Couldn't tell you. Don't get me wrong it was funny, but where did that come from? And the same goes for the Werewolf scene. I have not clue how I finally triggered the "walk with me" scene but it finally did ... two weeks after it was originally proposed. Then there's the Vampire encounters. I was complete lost on what events connect to another. I eventually gave up on the worthless checklist that give such helpful hints as "Go visit Amelia again." WHERE?! The club? I tried that. Nothing. What do I need to finish to get that to even trigger? Eventually, I just started clicking around the map at random until something triggered without ever understanding the sequences the caused it to happen in the first place. This is a terrible way to build an game. Could you imagine if GTA had you go get an ice cream before you're allowed to rob a bank but every mission is posted there taunting you until you do that one thing, but it's told to in a hint of "Go see Vincent?" That would drive anyone crazy. So please Dev, do everyone a favor and close off the list into sections. List them as steps that need accomplishing before anything further can trigger and give clear precise instructions. Who, what, where, when. If you can't answer those to your readers, you're just looking for false longevity with a process that's not worth experiencing for the story you've cooked up.

90% of the time sandboxes seem designed to waste the readers time instead of making it very clear to go to 1, 2, 3, 4. I know there's supposed to be an aspect of open world to them. But that's why devs in real open world games give random encounters that have no correlation with the actual story. So reward your readers for exploring, but don't punish the ones that just want to stick to the story. The way I experienced this VN was go to step 3 ... you triggered step 8 ... oops you forgot to triggered step 1 even though you have no clue what step 1 is. WHAT?! Dude, come on.

So give us a list, yes, but make everything else closed off until the first steps are followed in the story. Remove the grind. No one and I mean no one likes grind unless it's a FromSoftware title. This ain't it. Don't make scenarios even available until each step required is completed proceeding it. And again, be precise in who, what, where, when these need to be accomplished.

I "played" this for an entire afternoon and finally called it quits. I think from now on, if I even see the words sandbox for any VN ... I'm out. I won't even try them out anymore because I've come across so many of them that don't have any clue how these are supposed to work. Their just Ubisoft VNs. Open worlds for the sake of being open worlds. I just can't do it anymore.

Anyway, this was one of the worst experiences I've had, but it's not a 1. It gets a 2 out of respect for the batshit insane writing (it's pretty funny) and shear variety of models this dev chose to tackle. Those two reason alone give a 2/5, nearly a 2.5/5. If you enjoyed this, DO NOT let my opinion sway your opinion and keep in mind this was uploaded for free on F95. So show the dev some support. Write your own review, let them know what you like and what you don't like. And send them some monetary support when you can. But as always I wish this dev nothing but the best. I genuinely hope that they've found their audience and the support they need to keep this going. Cheers.

The good

• Astonishingly good renders
• Really creative and funny story with some dark elements
• Ok animations ( low framed loops are acceptable in my book. it is not 2 framed animations thankfully )
• Clothing. I am fan of lingerie, stockings. This game makes use of those heavily

The bad

• Didn't like the character development though. All of a sudden they may suck, fuck without a depth to it after a releationship threshold exceeds.
• Story does not connect. there is not a main one. Almost every character has indvidual stories that does not even relate to each other.
• Tiresome sandbox. Time forwarding ( just 1h in every areas other than the bedroom which adds another 12h ). Its pain to forward.

The Ugly

• Hints for the objectives sucks
• Low amount of sex scenes. Characters in this game are awesome. Use them more
• Its not finished
  

I like stories about supernatural things, especially vampires. There are many characters, and each one has their own story. As you progress with them, you get more options in the game.

Some choices can change what happens in the game. I already found one like that, and there might be more. The developer might add more choices in the future too.

This is a sandbox game, and I think it's one of the better ones. The renders are nice, and the animations are simple.

However, the energy system that darkens your screen over time if you get low on that and puts you instantly in the hospital once out is a bit annoying. The same goes for ejucating in your pants. The MC is like a surprise toy box, and at some point he just pops out and cums like crazy. This also happens way too often, sadly. One time he exploded like that when he saw an old hag's nipple, probably around 300 years old.

Overall, I liked it. Give it a shot.

Its good game with sexy characters especially vampire ones really good but sadly theres few bad things here like time management or so easy sex scenes like Mc fucks 7/24 without problem thats can be make game little bad but for me best character is sister especially after certain event she becomes really sexy and good character.
