Unity - Completed - Call Girl Denise [Lesson Of Passion]

Very pretty heroine and surrounding world.

I don't like the game mechanics and grinding system + no saving the game at any time.

When the game was getting going, it suddenly ends, because it's a very short game. It's a shame, because I would like to see more adventures with her.

However, I can't give it less than the maximum number of stars, because of the heroine and graphics

[v1.0]
A little hard to rate for me.

Let me start with the models. They are beautiful. Pinup Style.
You (female MC) look stunning.
So you live with your female friend and you are freeloader. You let things go and go with the flow.
So where do you work?

The game progesses for me fine. You have options for getting to work. Normal options that do not pay a lot for the hours you have to put in.
So is sex work for you? Then you at the right place.
The bar you visit with your friend, its your entry in sex work. It has a gloryhole.
Oh my, rare for games to have a gloryhole where you actually can work.
Sadly, no animation for that.
The game itself has animations, how many i am not sure. I got stuck at the gloryhole route.

There is a learning curve for the character. The biggest challenge i found was to keep yourself up and running. You need hygiene, energy, brains (brains!!!!!) and other skills.
You can buy things which of course you can not afford and you have to deal with, for example, to come up with the money for the rent.
So money will be a problem but you can make it. There is of course only one route to do that which is, sell yourself. But no worry, you like it.

I found the mechanics good. It is better than other games i played that had a similar setup. Though i ended up on the street, which is game over, i am sure i will try again.

Personally i wished it would go further like to live somewhere else. But overall i am happy with that game.
The question is only, if you are willing to put the time in to move further.

I have to explore more to come to a more round conclusion but this is so far my rating.

I played this game in the last two days.

Graphics: 9/10 - really well made, could be 10/10 if resolution was higher and the dialogue did not cover the bottom of a scene (it cannot be hidden). The models and CGI are among the best seen in any game.

Story: 8/10 - quite fine, nothing exceptional but strongly above the average. It's not full of grammar atrocities like other games, so you can really enjoy reading the text.

Playability: 3/10 GRINDING is really annoying, more annoying than usual because there is no option to make saves (I had to backup very time the game folder in Windows Registry). The game saves automatically at the end of each day, so, if you want to discover a new path you have to start from the beginning, and click click click again. There is no option to skip already seen text, like in Ren'Py. You have to repeat the same action day after day, with the same choices and results. This game really tests your perseverance. Too much grindind, really.

Conclusion: this game, made in RenPY, would be one of the best because the graphics are really great. But the time you spend on repeating the same clicks over and over lowers its appeal and it's frankly a waste of time trying to reach all the scenes and endings.

Good game but some confusion
Looking forward to the next version with more netorare or netorare panorama as possible
Create as much or as much detail as possible, and add as many finishing touches as possible

Nice, def one of their better games in a while and MUCH better playable than a lot of the older ones as they actually build in more leeway in finishing scenes (You don't need to be always 100% perfect in all actions to succeed).

Great looking renders, solid gameplay if you can stomach THE GRIND, big variety of scenes and chars thanks to the "escort" missions.

Recommended if you enjoyed other LoP games.

Have been playing this one for a while now and have gotten most endings and scenes and all I can say is.... yaaaaaaaaawn.

The renders are great, as they always are in LOP games and the HUD isn't too obstructive in this game, which is good. The characters are hot and the artist did a great work bringing them to life during the sex scenes. Set against some solid backgrounds, the renders are the true stars of this title. Stoper is a great artist and he did a good job on this one.

The story is the same tried and tested borefest of cardboard cut-out "characters". A sexually liberated, bisexual girl completely interchangeable with virtually every other girl in any other LOP game becomes a call-girl a la Jordan 500 and Tori 500 and lives the life of a prostitute with her equally sexually liberated, bisexual friend while working for their equally sexually liberated bisexual boss. Same shit different display. If you're a fan of LOP and liked the two aforementioned games, then I guess this will appeal to you. But for someone who would like to see something new or innovative, this ain't for you.

The writing is, at best, okay.... cringey dialogue, outdated pop-culture references and clichéd stereotypes flaunting "troubled pasts" while attempting to pass that off as "personality". It's flat, shallow and boring. The narration can't seem to make up its mind about what its going for as any given situation will be described as serious, slapstick and woefully pretentious all at once and ends up being none of it, but instead a dissonant mess that is neither funny, riveting or interesting. Did I mention the dialogue is cringey? It is... it really is.

The gameplay is... also okay. This is not just a visual novel trying to pass itself of as a game. This is an actual game with gameplay elements beyond the simple VN choices of "cheat on my partner/don't cheat on my partner" and the like. There was seemingly an honest to God intent of bringing the player a worthwhile gaming experience and that is appreciated. Stat building and time management adds a strategic element to the game that can be engaging and it can be fun to figure out how to maximize results by combining your most efficient activities and choices. The only problem: the grind is insane and very limiting.

First of all, there's way to many stats to keep track of for it to be fun. Keeping it simple would have been far better and given a more streamlined experience. The stats progress at a snails pace and the requirements for some events are completely out of tune with the frequency with which you can increase your stats. Furthermore, there's no way of telling, beyond trial and error, which actions boosts which stats and in a game with this tight a timeframe and such high demands for high stats to get to the juicy parts, that's a bore. While not directly adversarial, the gameplay is obstructive and isn't doing it's best to service and already limping story.

Sound design isn't all that great either with music that is... not terrible, but doesn't seem to fit the tone the story wants to set. Also the sex sounds were kind of bad.

LOP's new habit of adding scene and endings galleries to their games is a great addition and makes it easy to replay a scene for a quick wank rather than having to play through the whole game to get that one specific scene you really liked. The addition of cheats is also a welcomed one, but the only problem is that you have to suffer through the game at least 5 times (presuming that you hit a different ending on each of those 5 playthroughs) to get to all the cheats... which, once again, is an absolute bore... just make the cheats available from the start and let wankers wank.

All in all, not LOP's worst game, but definitely also not one of their best and a far cry from the glory days of LWT1.
