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

This game has great art and a decent story line. It also has some gameplay but is that really why anyone is here? It's worth a playthrough. Balsamique has also made several updates since "finishing" the game which have improved it. I think that this is the best of this games so far.

This game has a lot of potential with the art style and the setting, but it's in desperate need of an editing pass to make everything gel together. It is a roughly cobbled together arrangement of story beats and sex scenes with no care for pacing or game feel. It's like all the correct ingredients for a cake just dumped on a plate and served to you. There is everything necessary for a good game here, it just requires someone who understands game design to come arrange it into a cohesive whole.

artstyle is amazing, scenes are nice, story is great.
i think the balance is there, just really hoping there would be more scenes to it, especially the blond girl and more animation. parody of the story is also done well.
looking forward to more works from this guy!

Solid Story with a good collection of ending. Although I must say there are a lot of hidden scenes that are pretty difficult to unlock. I recommend playing it twice or trice before getting a walkthrough guide. The scenes are good, the girls characteristics are OK, feels a lot of mommy vibe. The gameplay feels ok, with an economy that I feel like is not utilized properly could've been expanded but with what it is good.

One fking star for the one particular reason - a sudden gore ending with "mom". What happened to a dev during creation of the second half of the game? As if bro had suddenly gone mad wtf was that shit. For some reason it gave me a moment of anxiety

Very polished, high quality, and straightforward. Behind the Dune is actually both fully developed and complete, which is not something you can say for many games dev'd on this platform. Worth your time.

This is a little gem.
As a fan from the original Dune game (Cryo) I really enjoyed it !
Graphics and animations are good.
Storyline is correct.
I didn't notice any bugs.
There are multiple endings and this is very appreciable.

Really amazing game, the nostalgia hits hard with this one, super nice art in my opinion that draws you in, great scenes and the story is fun and interesting to see through, there are multiple choices from what I remember and have replayed as of now but I'm not sure if it affects what happens in the actual story, a must play game and for sure one the best flash games out there.

Great game. Smoothly animated scenes with multiple characters and in multiple scenarios. Very engaging gameplay. Actually kept me at night when i should have gone to sleep 3 hours prior. Meaningful choices.

Art 4.5/5
Story 4.5/5
Gameplay 4.5/5
Fapability 5/5
Originality 5/5

Listen, I`ve played alot of games. And this one is just very good and worth downloading. It's a bit short, but the scenes are nice, the plot is better than the usual porn game plot... Just trust me, play it.

I dont get why some give it such high ratings,the game is not much in terms of gameplay or even scenes,sure the art is pretty but doesnt justify it at all.

The story is boring and doesnt make much sense,like for example: Dicktor (pun intended) uses a poison to kill you but hits your mother and she survives though magical plot armor,she is found out and you just spank her and she is back in your employ and party.

Father and security guy are killed in a raid,just like that,you have to travel all around to do practically nothing but just click generic dialogue which sucks.

Few scenes that are generic,repetitive and meh overall.

Few items and ways to use them,much traveling for few gain,characters are shallow badly,like you just have to answer 3 questions to get a random woman you dont know as concubine,too much plot armor overall and weird things like having sex with the female captain that killed your father and choking her to death with your penis,this is in the game no joke.

+ Many assets and character models and traits are copy and pasted from his other game.

I'm not familiar with the plot of Dune, so maybe a lot of references passed me by, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game! A variety of girls are shown from the best sides, partly in standard poses, partly in unique events. Cool illustrations are complemented by good animations. The game almost never forces you to grind resources and allows you to display the next target on the map as part of the current mission. Very cool, I did not expect that a game that occupies less than 50 megabytes will give so much juicy content.

This was really good. Played through 3 times already, even with the in-game gallery unlock option.
Cheat option was a really good option for persons who not into grinding.
Really good art for such a small filesize.
Would definitely recommend.

A very fun game, quite short but it manages to both do an erotic parody and hit quite well most major plot points of the book. It was amusing to see the scenes with Irulan begging for Spice (and a good idea to include her since her history paragraphs from the book wouldn't really work in a game).
Also it was nice to have this game to pass some time before the Dune part 2 movie.

Considering how pervy Frank Herbert got as the series went on, this game is actually a rather amazing tribute I think he would have enjoyed himself. As someone who truly loved the series growing up I know I love it. Hope this keeps going and drawing on the world as even a true Herbert nerd appreciates the details. Overall just so well done in every aspect.

God I love this game so much. It is a damn hot game, one of the best ones on this site and the only one I ALWAYS come back when an update drops. I can't believe how small the file size is compared to how much content it has.

Truly a work of porn art. The parody aspect of it is on point, the art is simply amazing, animations are fluid and characters are good and varied. Truly a gem in its own right. On every upcoming update and David Balsamique game coming, I'm there everytime.

The game gives you enough power progressively to keeps you interested and to explore its mechanics. It also features different scenes and endings depending on your actions and choises, it even has extra content and different locations to find stuff on. It never feels empty nor senseless to explore and interact with every character.

TL;DR: one of the best games in here. Try it out, it is quick and delivers. Great art, good animations.

[v2.0.2]
Played it long ago.

-Story, Originality

The plot is pretty basic and nearly identical to the source book/film, but with h-variation.
Still feels unfinished.

-Renders
The art is cool, drawn one.

-Sound
Some music plays in the background and it is enough.
As far as I remember there were some basic h-sounds too.

-Playability
You can finish it probably in 1 hour and see most of the h-scenes.
If you know what and where to look for.

-Performance
While playing the game I had flash-game vibes and it felt good.
And no lag of course.

-Bugs
Didn't see any.

-Animations
Similar to flash games, smooth and pleasant.

-Voice Acting
Didn't even remember if there were any.

-Grammar
Didn't find any mistakes.

-Amount of content
After so many years there is a big amount of h-scenes and content.

The greatest Flash H game you will ever play. Lady Jessica is a top tier MILF. The artist style is one of the greatest I've ever seen. To this date the developer is still adding new content. Give it a try! Specially if you are into M&S Wincest.

This game is also known as:
How I learned the plot of Dune
10/10 plot with extra plot
Sandworm management simulator

ACTUAL REVIEW:

Behind the Dune is a visual novel-point and click adventure-management flash game. You progress through the story like a VN, click to move around areas, find story items hidden in areas, and mine spice while avoiding sandworms.

PROS:
It's a flash game with a shit ton of content. Lots of scenes, and the gameplay isn't that bad either. Give it a try even if you're not interested in Dune, you won't regret it.

CONS:
There's only one save file. There are many plot choices you can make.

For a game this small this game has tons of content to explore and a branching plot line with multiple endings. Thats unheard of in many games. Yet this beast of a game only has 60 MB or so yet you can play it for hours. The only thing I would change is that 1 save slot we have on our disposal. With game this rich in choices its a crime not to have more save slots.

This game has animations. Sex scenes. Plot and very good looking characters. All you could wish for from a game and it has little to no memory needed for it to run. No gigabytes of download needed for hours of content. Its the most compact and content packed erotic game I ever seen. MB to CONTENT ratio is insane. I really wish all erotic games collectors give it a try. It is one of the best 2D erotic games ever created.
