VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Carnal Contract [S1 v1.03.1 Premium] [Dotty Diaries]

This game starts with a good premise, but the execution never reaches its potential. You can feel the sexual tension and chemistry between the characters, but the way their relationships evolve is dull and uninspired. Most decisions the characters make don’t make any sense — it’s like no one here has a functioning brain. Plot twists fall flat, and the overall story collapses under its own lack of internal logic. The writing doesn’t help either. The dialogue feels awkward, unnatural, and completely devoid of emotion, making interactions feel empty and disconnected.

If you choose poorly, you might get an early ending, but beyond that, most choices are just keys to unlock sex scenes. The main plot doesn’t shift meaningfully based on what you pick. To make things worse, the final sex scene happens regardless of whether you built any intimate connection with that character at all — making the whole system feel pointless and inconsistent.

The renders look good overall, with several attractive models, even if a few characters are not visually appealing (which is subjective). What isn’t subjective is how unnatural some of the body proportions are. Several models look nothing like an actual human being — unless you’re counting extreme plastic surgery. Animations during sex scenes are a mixed bag. They are appreciated, but the characters move stiffly, with robotic and unnatural motions. Sadly, that seems to be the theme across the entire game. The environment design doesn’t help either. The family’s house is supposed to show wealth, but instead it looks ridiculous — huge empty areas, barren rooms, and lots of unused space. It feels less like a deliberate artistic choice and more like cutting corners during development.

Overall, the game has a promising foundation, but poor writing, weak choice design, unnatural visuals, and stiff animations hold it back from being truly enjoyable.

Based on everything:

• Story & Characters → Good setup ruined by illogical decisions, flat writing, and awkward dialogue. 4.8/10
• Player Choices → Some impact, but largely limited to unlocking scenes; weak narrative influence. 4.2/10
• Visuals & Animations → Attractive models but unrealistic bodies and stiff, robotic animations. 6.2/10

This game is a hidden gem it has a good story but the grammar messes things the sisters and mother are hot but they have too little sex scens in my opinion but the game has the best ending sex scene that i have ever seen...the game is worth at least to play it once, now if the secod season is better than the first that will be awesome...

Fuck this game. In the first hour or two I'd have just rated it 3* for the unnatural dialogue, absolute mess of a plot, and incredibly inconsistent characterization.
And then I kept playing. Every Big! Plot! Reveal! from then on was worse than the last, every moment made the LIs and MC less understandable than the last, so soo many things just weren't questioned by anyone in universe or followed up on AT ALL and I'm just supposed to roll with that?

My final straw was seeing the big sister character (who earlier in the game had a crashout about MCs strange behaviour) on her knees, apparently in on the whole damn thing since minute one? Does the MC question this? Follow her? Inform anyone in their family? Nah. But don't worry she's around for the obligatory epilogue orgy!

Trash tier writing, I haven't been this disappointed and icked out by something since SAO

Review refers to version 0.8 with mod.

A game with suspense, sexiness, and my favorite fetish, even two more that are missing from the description.

The visuals and characters are outstanding. I just don't know if that's a good thing for me personally if it reminds me of an old classmate xD anyway.
The animations are also of a high standard, and thank goodness there's also a visual creampie or cum. I mention this explicitly because in some cases, it's either completely missing or looks terrible.

The story actually manages to build and maintain the tension.
I also have to emphasize that the characters aren't mindless sex machines and actually struggle in certain situations because they long for normality.
I also find it very praiseworthy that it's not a harem ending, but rather each character gets a little scene.

Positive:
-Enough fetishes
-A decent, exciting story
-Appealing characters

Neutral:
The ending of the game and its consequences remained open in this version, I'd say.

5/5

To the developers of Dotty Diaries:
Add the tags: Footjob and Ahegao to both the top tags and genre tags. Believe me, these are selling points ;D

They are very milf and sexy.Awalys let me horny,haha. really really very exited game and scanrio is very good.Everybody must play it for your time.it's dersired.

PROS
+ Visually, the game looks good, the art style of most characters looks good, and it has good texture, animation quality, and physics for them.

CONS
- The story is simply weird, nonsensical, and poorly written. And things get worse, and worse gradually instead of getting better. The whole ''game'' thing, and everything around, seriously makes no sense, and even if it makes sense, it's not enjoyable to read at all; in fact, it ruins the most basic aspect these games have, which is relationship development between characters. In fact, a lot of stuff is so dumb that it feels like ''HOW?!'' like how MC or anyone in the game didn't even realize they have a lens in their eye? How will they not feel disturbed by it? It makes literally zero sense, and there are tons of other things making no sense. I could talk for a very long time about how they left Johnny on the ground, called cops, and left, like, seriously? You had a chance to put down a rabid dog coming after you, yet you just... Leave? BRUH.
- Choices should matter doesn't really matter, and some matter just to make sure things are more tedious, like blocking/closing certain scenes/paths, forcing you to have multiple saves, etc.
- Almost every girls/women paths are ruined by unnecessary or nonsensical stuff, etc, like Becky.
- MC's character is not likable at all; in fact, he feels quite stupid as well. For example, for some reason, if you decide to take Diane's panties, he says ''I can't imagine what would happen if anyone found I have Diane's panties.'' then hides them under his pillow... And this is not the only example, how he got caught while trying to save Becky, like an idiot, is another good one. The guy is so smart he could almost have a chance to beat 5-year-old kids in a quiz show...
- The main girls/women are good-looking, but I can't say side girls/women are the same; some have bad-looking bodies, and some have bad facial features. In fact, most of them look like they could look good as main girls/women only with some small changes to their faces or bodies. Some examples are: Eva (her face), Jasmine (her face)
- Night scenes are too dark, almost impossible to see any detail.
- The game is ''completed'' yet it has so many obvious bugs, like certain texture parts being darker for no reason. Some examples are Diane's chest in the hospital scene or MC's dick at night scene, etc.
- There are some weird scenes as well. For example, our characters take chicken breast from the fridge, and say they will cook it, but in the next scene, we see them eating bacon instead.
- The hide feature doesn't work with the see-through eye feature the game has.

VERDICT
Not good anything aside from letting out some steam, and that's all.

S1 v1.01

I’ve started this game before, but while waiting for an update I forgot about it. The gameplay mechanics work well, this version includes the necessary patches, and there’s no need for a walkthrough.I really enjoyed this immersive game

+ Characters, especially the ladies
+ No bugs
+ No grinding
+ Good pacing
+ Funny, yet still a solid story for this genre
+ Functional animations
+/- Character progression is fast, but that’s appropriate for this genre
- Some events overlapped incorrectly

[S1 Premium]
This game has been in development for a long time, as far as I know, and now we're finally waiting for the finale of Season 1 (I don't really know if the developers will consider developing a Season 2, and one thing I must admit is that Diane is definitely the most charismatic FILF in the game, she's so hot, it's safe to say that she's the only one I want! And enjoyed it very much, so I definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you like mature women!

The story ain't good .Basically all women in this game are horny for mc's dick .No proper relationship paths .Only sex with all women whenever possible .This dev also scared to show proper creampie scenes.In short ,don't play if you are looking for good story with great sex scenes in all aspects .If you are looking for a weird story with all women as cock hungry sluts this is for you ,enjoy .

A solid endeavor with many attractive females and that BUBBLE Becky has for an ass. The story is thought out, the sex scenes while mostly vanilla are varied enough for most not to care, and it has a kinda satisfying ending seeing as it could possibly have a second season. Its the only reason I'm not mad you don't end up with any of the women.

Review based on pre-rework (v0.8), which had:
- No sandbox
- Inc* content intact


Story has a lot of mystery to it, with plenty of twists and turns - some of which are a bit bananas and do challenge your suspension of disbelief. And the ending felt rushed.

Characters are the biggest selling point. (In v0.8) They're the typical mom and big & lil sis, but their personalities and models are done well.

Sex-scenes were a letdown for me. Probably because of POVs that kept jumping around in 3rd person, ones I didn't consider particularly hot.


All in all, I'd say it's worth a test drive. Though, again that opinion is based on v0.8.

unskippable opening splash screen with sound at max volume for almost 20 seconds? what kind of bullshit is this. My ears hurt, and I have to go in and modify files just to play the game. i'm gonna give it a second chance, but no guarantee I change my rating.
Edit: I didn't change my rating... not worth the time, you can tell these devs think people who like these type of games are idiots.

The developer ran out of ideas for a sequel to an almost-completed game, so he did what all con artists do: remake. In addition, from VN to Sandbox, that is, artificially extended gameplay time at the expense of mindlessly clicking through locations hoping to find something to do.

Entirely useless and unneeded sandbox rework mid development ruined this completely.

The game use to be descent with good visuals a serviceable story and nice sexy moments but this latest rework to make it a sandbox juste takes away from the flow of the story by making you click everywhere in an empty linear world. It's nothing more than an nsfw version cookie clicker now.

The version of the game which I'm reviewing for is the 0.9 Rework. So what's the rework for? Those who had played the "final" product previously with the rushed ending would think that this rework is exactly about correcting that mess. On the contrary, it LITERALLY takes you back to the beginning of the game since that part is what this rework is about: adding a sandbox free roam and time wasting meaningless mini games like going panty hunting. Can you believe the supporters giving feedback addressing the most obvious problem of the game (the rushed ending) and the dev goes like "yeah, I will correct the rushed ending by...adding contents to the beginning of the game and that content being a sandbox forcing you to go perv panty hunting". Seriously, this update seems like outright trolling from the dev.

Pretty much loved the game.
The renders look amazing.
The pacing is alright.
One thing is that the character development seems kinda fast. You do nothing with the girls and suddenly in 5 minutes you're already having sex. But I guess that that's the nature of the game.
Recommended

One of the best written mc's period. He's not a creepy bastard, he doesn't need to force/coerce/trick one dimensional npcs into sex and he doesn't talk to himself way too much like so many autistic mc's.

Strong points for me were that the family all seem to care about each other and they aren't shallow, or retarded, or a generic trope trying to pass for a character, like you see in so many other games. Dialogue was fluid and wasn't full of jank or weirdness, it was just like people talking to each other. All the models looked good for the most part and animations were pretty solid.

The only real flaw I can think of are some of the paths are harder to do than others. The only thing I can think of to add would be maybe don't magically make all the jizz disappear from one frame to the next. It'd be pretty hot if after filling up one of the girls in one scene she walks away with some cum dripping down her leg or have a little extra cream on her lip after a blowjob.

tl;dr refreshing game to play after so many mediocre ones, great mc too!

I just finished it, and it's really good for my taste. Hope some WT is included on your games really apreciate if we know we on the right track of the route we bangin haha! Thank you and keep up the good works brodas and sistas

I'll bet five, just because my fetish is a younger sister, it's great here. The rest of the game is worse, but you have to play as a lover of your little sister. I can also praise the animations, grieve a little that the older sister turned out just to be. But Becky is wonderful.

A great VN that is 100% complete. The writing is excellent, the models are hot, the choices matter to a decent degree. I hope that the next game shows the pleasure and responsibility of being on top.
