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

Story got really interesting at the end of episode two.
All girls are sexy and have a distinctive personality so that you want to engage with them.
What I especially like is that this game doesn't force you to interact with distracting side characters too much and that it focuses more on the family members.
Can't wait for more honestly. Keep up the good work Dev.

Disabling all the options and rollback and skip. Nope.

Good renders and animations. Bad story, annoyign dialogue. Annoying habit of showing you everyone naked when youre not even with them. Annoying lack of choices.

Annoying game

CARNAL CONTRACT REVIEW

Okay, so…figured I would put my own review here after reading all of these negative comments.
TLDR: I really enjoyed this game, the renders are high-quality, the models are really sexy and varied, and I like that they are not generic (used in other games; at least I haven’t noticed). The story is good, but I don’t really see how some things will be resolved. After the hotfix happened, I think the game got much better too.
Here are some details. I will be reviewing the game in the three following sections:
1) The content
The story is well-written and peculiar. The MC gets stuck in a weird game where someone is blackmailing him to do some crazy stuff to the members of his own family. Although the dev didn’t specifically mention that they are a family, you can put anything in the blank spaces at the beginning of the game, so essentially, this is an incest game. I wrote that Becky and Nicole were my sisters, and that Diane was my mother, and I am guessing the dev aimed exactly at that. All in all, you get some good lewd scenes, and the dialogue fits, so that made my playing experience immersive.
2) The visuals:
The renders in this game are amazing, I especially liked the one towards the end with the red-head. Great movements and expressions. As for the characters, you can meet various female characters. All the characters, other than MC (a good-looking, fit guy who is in his early 20s, judging by the fact that he is supposed to be in college), are all women. 3) The playability
Depending on your choices, you can end the episode 1 in three ways. I played through all three and I can say that they are interesting. So, basically, this game is decision-driven and the choices you make are impactful.

I hate to be harsh but the only things this game has to offer by know are good renders and good animations.
MC is a creep and we dont have choices to avoid it.
Unavoidable sex scene (deal breaker for me).
Skip function is disabled by default (even the keyboard ones), only after the first playthrough that it will be enabled and only for already seen text, you dont have control over it...the only functions on the Preferences menu are Display, Sound/Music and Text speed. So, if you stumble into a sex scene you dont want to see and cannot avoid (and it will happen) you cant even skip it. In the end devs took your choice and took your power to at least skip it for yourself.
Almost all characters are unlikeable (including MC), the only one who can be spared by know is MC's sister, Nicole.
I wish the dev luck and sucess but this game is not for me.

I saw the animations for this one, looks really good, it's an incest game, that's a plus too, but then I saw that it only had 2 stars, shame I thought to myself, must be a stinker, but then I read the reviews and they are dumping on this game for being tropey, having things the reviewers simply didn't like.

I've seen some real trash games reviewed better simply on the idea that they could get better, games with awful dialogue and the most action is a single peep. Now is Carnal Contract a top tier game, absolutely not, but it's got worthwhile content which is an extreme rarity for a first update and an actual story reason for why the protagonist is such a perv.

At the moment the characters are your basic incest game template, nice sister, mean sister and the mom. There's also the ex girlfriend and the sisters friend who get most of the hands on content this update.

I don't devs creators to reinvent the wheel, I want something I can enjoy. As far as sex games go this is one of the better one's with a potentially interesting premise.

Carnal Contract is a VN by Dotty Diaries (a 2-man team) who have years of experience in the Novel department, and recently starting into Adult VN using DAZ assets under Ren'Py. This is their first game here on F95.

Story's about the MC (option to give him any name) who's trying to get his young life in order after his father's mysterious death. Yeah, it's one of those games

Has 2 sisters (option to change their relationship) Becky is the hot blonde in the 2nd pic, Nicole is the older sister in the last pic), then there's Diane who we barely see in Episode 1 despite being a total MILF.

There's currently 2 side characters. Christina (the other hot blonde) is the MC's ex-gf. In this game she's pretty much a nympho.

Lara (the hot red-head, Becky's BFF) is more of a flirty type of girl even though she has a boyfriend (who we don't see in any shape or form). She has a scene some may find 'cringe inducing' which unfortunately can not be skipped.

One morning the MC gets a random text basically aware of his money issues (drunk driving accident) challenging him to do things around the house. Should he finish it he will get paid for it.

As expected the challenges start off small, then get lewder & lewder where I'm not even surprised anymore.

Going deeper into the game all the incest tropes come pouring in: the creeping, wardrobe malfunctions, shower scenes, etc.

Nothing fresh about this game. At all
Good news is the sex scenes are Fap Worthy so that alone is worth the download, I guess.

From what I've read on Patreon the updates on this game will apparently be often, and their Patreon account is currently pretty active (as of March 2023). Also they're working on this game Full Time. That's a plus, right?

Pros

- animations
- fap worthy sex scenes
- wincest
- mostly realistic bodies

Cons

- entire story is completely unoriginal
- voice is loud during sex scene
- dead father #847
- no hidden cameras in the house, how's he getting spied on?
- siblings call their mother "Diane" for some reason
- game may get abandoned later on

Verdict: If you don't mind typical wincest with Fap Worthy sex scenes then download this, add it to the Watch list, and give it a go. If you're looking for an intriguing story this isn't it.

Pros
-I´m legit curious to know if Nicole or the mom are the blackmailer, if they are, then this is a plot twist that we haven't seen before, a legitimately interesting one
-The models are good enough despite being mostly basic models with different hair, they are attractive enough so that's a plus
-The animations are good, there is not many, cause there is only a few sex scenes, but the ones we have are fluid enough to make the scenes "Hot"
-The justification for the plot is kind of dumb but it makes sense, the family is in debt and they are about to loose the house cause the father didn't paid the mortgage before dying, add to that, the MC crashed a car that he has to pay back, so the plot is dumb, but its at least consistent with its dumbness

Cons
-The MC is a fucking creep, hes not likeable at all
-The characters are mostly terrible, Becky is an only fans "Star" with a shitty attitude, the mom is the most irresponsible mother ever, she doesn't seem to give a shit at all, only Lara and Nicole seems decent enough, specially Nicole, I actually like her
-The game has the potential to go into NTR shit really fast, the blackmailing stuff is sus as fuck
-Lack of options, you HAVE to fuck the ex that cheated on you multiple times, no choice, thankfully you are not forced to be together with her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she comes back and you have to take her, spineless MCs seem to be the norms
-The game as a whole has a feel to it that I can only describe as "Sus"
