Flash - Completed - Behind the Dune [v2.36.2] [David Balsamique]

Really enjoyable.


Story 8/10

I really liked this Dune parody. it plays into the mind control power fantasy well.

Gameplay 6/10

You can walk around and talk with characters, you also have to make money using Salt mining machines on different maps.

Art 8/10

I really like the artstyle, the animations aren't bad either and the characters are hot. It hasn't aged badly at all.

Amount of Content 5/10

Decent amount of content but the game is massive and there are times where you get nothing for a long time. This might be unique to my playthrough since I read all the dialogue.

I love the themes and the art is a breather from the over-saturated market of the 3D Daz models and anime styles. it's one of the only games I went back and replayed. Only wished the incest theme received more focus.

One of the best games!
Design: 10/10
Writing: 9/10
Humor: 8/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Would love to see a part 2 for this maybe more Alia scenes
I hope the developer continues the story since the movies are now so popular so it can attract new players

Last words:
The game is similar to those flash browser games from the 2010s, but its graphics are very good and the gameplay is quite fun—discovering mysteries and investigating a world where you were left to govern but were robbed, and you need to gather an army to take back your place in the palace. Anyway, the story is weak, but I had fun playing, especially in the interactive parts with the women's clothes hahaha

This game had me feeling a certain way, and I'm not sure that I liked it at all. The core gameplay is a literal copy-paste of the 1992 game by Cryo Interactive, and so is the appearance of this game, all the way down to the characters and how they look. Literally, apart from the new art direction and some new dialogue choices, the gameplay and looks are exactly the same. The only real change that I could find was that the gameplay was heavily simplified to allow for more porn, but that's about it. If you have played the 1992 Dune RTS like I did, you'd prefer that game over this one. Still, I went into this with a pretty open mind and didn't expect too much, but damn! This game seems to simply exist as a way for someone to project their various kinks and issues onto a playing public and is just, yeah. At first, the play wasn't too bad, but as things progressed, the developer seemed to huff paint harder and harder. I could understand some of the content and even thought that it fit into the universe and lore to a degree, but come the late game, there are some seriously wild shenanigans going on. Rape, Futa, scat, pee play, and loads more stuff that I thankfully chose to avoid. I will say that I liked the spice harvesting mechanic; it was basic compared to the RTS, but it was okay for what it was. I also enjoyed the management side of things and liked going around and sorting the various problems out as they arose. Yet sadly, that's about it from a gameplay perspective, as I found that the hollowed, filthy minds of the stripped-down characters were just annoying. It bothers me how this game went, as I genuinely believe that there is a market for Dune-inspired adult games and visual novels. A market that could be really worth investing time and energy into, but this is not the way to go about it at all, in my opinion. There are things in this game that simply do not and could not ever exist in the Dune universe. Perhaps I should have passed this game over as a fan of Frank Herbert's work, but I didn't, and now I regret not just clicking away and finding something else to play.

Visually, I liked this game and enjoyed the fresh, hand-drawn art style. I liked that the characters looked more tanned and realistic; they actually looked like people who lived in a desert. The women were very nicely drawn and looked beautiful, if not way too top heavy. The stillsuits were pretty lore accurate and looked good. I also liked that they were sometimes tailored to a character's desires, with little areas that had been customised or coloured. The text and menus were clean, and I liked how simple they were. It was also nice to see that the house Atreides colours were correctly portrayed, having the red, green, and blacks that were described in the books instead of the blue that is commonly seen in most Dune games. The lighting and shadowing were very nicely done on the characters, world objects, vehicles, and environments. It was nice to see that a single light source direction was chosen and worked with; it gave the characters so much more visual depth. The various girls tattoos were pretty cool, and I liked the work that was put into their nude bodies. Though I personally would have preferred them to be more womanly, with some pubic hair and more full figures, they were still very attractively drawn and looked beautiful. The animations were pretty good for both the general gameplay and the sex scenes and seemed very clean, with no odd lines or broken connections. From an art point of view, I liked this game and the style direction that was chosen.

Overall, it just comes down to the content and development direction for me, as both could have been better and ultimately left me feeling something worryingly close to disgust.

4/5

The text on this one is hilarious
I'm a bit disappointed in myself for enjoying the art
A little grindy and annoying, so you might have to borrow the guide from time to time. Great fun in a game though

Awesome game, great art

I feel like plot is well done and the lore from the books is used well to tell a silly porn story, sometimes more clever than you'd expect.

All in all, very recommended!!!!!!!!!!

very good game! It feels like a collection of multiple little games but all in one. which i think is interesting but kinda dumb. There is a ton of content, and a shitton of animations that are very smooth. I dont like how some of the animations/characters will have weird lines on their bodies.

The milfs are hot as fuck as you can tell by the preview pics, and there are a tone of them too! All kinds of colours! I know there is a movie series called dune, and i have never seen it so i dont know if it is related. Very good game.

I played this one several months back. I've given it some time to let my thoughts simmer.

The short version is that the art is 5/5, some of the scenarios are really hot as well, but the gameplay is roughly a 2/5.

I'm giving it a 4 because I think it's worthwhile albeit frustrating and dull.
It's really hot though.

I am honest when i say this game would have been brilliant, had the usage of the same animation not been used over and over again for every scene. The story line is interesting, but build up isnt quite there.
Also i am not fond of NTR stuff..

Yet to finish it, saving the game is tedious when you got one on the mouse and on your... yaknow..
So when the game crashes multiple times without getting to save before, is infuriating.

Loved the art style in it self. Loved the nipples. Loved the mature babes. Always love a good harem game.
Could have been great, but strived to be below mediocre.

2,5/5

(what i mean is, swinging is something i would rather choose than be pushed upon, which in turn, becomes NTR in my opinion)

Great game, not very long but with some decent choices throughout. Artwork is also great, good mix of static and animated scenes, and a good variety of content. Love the feature at the end to be able to rewind to the final climactic moment to see what the other story ends are. Will be following the creator to see what else they have made and will make.

"I just peed on my daughter with a good friend... It's a bit disturbing," said Stilgar, after watching his daughter be ass-raped by a young sandworm with little resistance. I quote this moment as it perfectly epitomizes the atmosphere this game establishes.

Story/Writing: The story isn't the best. It's a Dune parody but everything occurs too quickly. By the time something happens, it's already over. The story also takes itself too seriously one moment then not seriously the next; the tonal whiplash is rough. Where the writing really falls apart is with the characters. They'll speak to you like you're a pariah one moment, then after two dialogue boxes they're worshiping you and fucking your brains out. One massive positive is that the "sex text" is executed perfectly. It's not too long, not too short, and actually enhances the scene.

Hentai: It's pretty good. Keep in mind, this game is incredibly short. You can speedrun it and get a sub 4 minutes. That said, the quantity of scenes (that are not reused scenes) is more than what should be expected for a game this short. The quality of scenes is nice as well; it's arousing and stylistically unique for a h-game (it has well-made Western-style artwork). My issue with the porn is that for quite a few of the girls it reuses the same exact animation in order to make it appear as though there are more scenes than there actually are. I'm of the mind that it's better to exclude this type of content and to not tease additional girls instead of giving a wide variety of girls with half-assed scenes. The other issue with the hentai is that the sex pacing, similar to the story pacing, is horrific. I want to make a note of one gleaming positive that is heavily biased by my preferences: This game features not one, but two short haired girls. My god is it glorious, even though the one girl is one of the aforementioned half-assed scene girls.

Gameplay: What gameplay? The management aspect is incredibly simple and has no significant grind or effort required, to the point where I question its inclusion. The "point and click" gameplay is also notably dead, with only a few uses here or there. As I said, "what gameplay." It's essentially just a visual novel with a bad story and some good porn.

tl;dr: The hentai is better than what you should expect from a 2016 flash h-game. For note, you can (and should - that's right I'm judging you during a review on a hentai game forum) turn the scat off. The story is lacking and so is the gameplay, and since the gameplay is lacking the story needed to shine, which it doesn't. All things said, it's worth playing.

Excellent parody. Surprisingly faithful to the story, funny, and involves a bit of gameplay (which does border on grind, given the short game length overall).

There's some neat things to discover, various endings, and the art is quality

A lovely adaptation of the book. Weird kinks included so check first before playing.


Story
The story presents quite in a good way the whole of the first book


Gameplay
By today standard the engine is outdated and I am surprise to see myself play a game in Flash in 2024. That being said, for the standards of 2016 I find the game quite good. At the level of animation the game is quite poor but that is a limitation of that period.

Models
I enjoyed the look of the girls and I like to see that the dev went accordingly with the books, more or less.

horrendous game. the art is kinda cute but everything else sucks. there's one single animation that's just used for all the characters. the dialogue is non-existent and there is no build up. you meet chani and two text prompts later you're fucking her.

it's like you asked a teenage boy to write a romance story. also, the game mechanics are trash. clicking around is boring. flash is also a huge turn-off.

This game is one of the best here, everyone should give it a try
first time i played it, dune 1 didnt came out and i didnt knew it would be a think so i watched the David Lynch one and read the book.
Pretty nice

This is the only adult game that I regularly revisit. The artwork is fantastic, the Dune story is closer to the original than any other game I have played. I honestly wish this game wasn't "completed", because i would love more content.

Overhyped by the f95zone users definitely, The story is trying to take itself seriously, but the incest, betrayals, mind controlling voice, reviving dead people, and so on is far too absurd, The H-scenes are well animated, but they have no audio, literally the only audio you hear in the entire game is the music.

Good flash game, the assets may be a bit repetitive, the spice gameplay have unfortunate graphic glitchs, but overall it's a good game. Not a fan of every kink that were included.
Lot of secret scenes to unlock if you are into that.

* Same animation used for every single person.
* Shitty UI with shitty ganeplay that makes you constantly guess and brute force with whatever you have in your hand.
* Devs are cucks who hid the ntr until the second half of the game and no tag warnings whatsoever.

* Story rushed and made to get done with, zero quality.
Overall a shitty experience made for cucks and a shitty way to spoil yourself the whole dune story.
