Area69 Review for V0.4
First things first, there is an
NTR scene in the beginning, it is
unavoidable, a vampire drugs/hypnotises the
landlady and fucks her, she doesn't remember it. There may be more NTR scenes (couldn't play anymore), but this is the most prominent. The plot here is none too original.
There are quests/tasks which are activated by arbitrary interactions. So you will be roaming around the map at different times trying to talk to different people. There are over a dozen map locations with sub-sections, a 24 hr Day/Night Cycle, tedious Energy and Horny meter management, Stat grinding and inventory, not to mention the Relation meter of people. Many characters are introduced but it is unclear whom you can actually bang, and there are too many of them to remember.
The renders are decent, lighting and backgrounds are good. There are no animations present. Among the character models is a big variety of age and body types: young girls look fine, the older women actually look their age. Skinny, fat, ugly, curvy, grandmas, preggos and monster-girls are also present. They definitely look older than most VN milfs, sagging breasts, wrinkles, cellulite, blemishes. I find it appealing
to an extent, but
your preference will differ. Male characters do suffer here though. At best the visuals are serviceable. One thing to note is that most of the characters have an odd skin tone.
This VN/Game is grind and sandbox focused, there are no cheats or guide/walkthrough present, if you try to use cheat engine or edit your saves the game bugs out, halting your progress. The characters are the only reason I tried the game, but the UI and Game Systems tempered my enjoyment. I would be glad to play this once it has some mods/inbuilt cheats and the sandbox/stat elements are reduced, but as it stands Area69 is not a pleasant experience. Definitely unplayable with 1 Hand. Regardless give it a try if you like what you see, and form your own opinion.
