Unreal Engine - Carnal Instinct [2024-06-01] [Team Carnal Instinct]

As of version: alpha 0.2.8 Steam

Fuck my life... 5 dudes, all of them probably amateurs, deliver an alpha version that looks better, sounds better, has a better story, a lovely detailed world while having, as mentioned ALPHA version, better FPS and stability than every AAA game released the last few years...

Some state the game industry is in...

[ 0.2.8 Steam]

Great game, just quite buggy and needs some more filler and development
There's: bugged terrain with over-streched textures, missing, misaligned collisions;
buggy combat in the shape of no animation instant attacks for some enemies, some of the time;
bugged chests that falsely show their markers and some vessels sometimes even restock themselves;
even bugged combat music.

Hey, at least this release didn't have bugs that soft-locked by messing up quests, saves that don't fully work or the question of 'did i miss something' since the quests used to loop after completing the main questline.

Other than the excessive walking even with quick-travel points and having longer weapons with shorter reaching, lower damage attacks the game is great and seems to be developing further!

This is an absolutely amazing work, technically, mechanically, and general quality. You REALLY want to have a real Assassin's Creed R18 games after playing this. Because it's not bad at all, but after all, it's still an indie studio; they can't push features as fast.

Personally not a fan of furry and "goddess" body type, so it's a bummer. But I won't judge these things on personal preferences. In a flipside, they're able to maintain various race due to limited body variety. I end up exploring places to find treasures, coz it has a nice and optimized environment.

Overall, I'd rate it 3/5 by general indie standard, but it's def a 5/5 on F95 standard.

The game is obviously still in development, however it is absolutely beautiful. It has a functional combat system that is good for a sex game. And the sex scenes are pretty good at that. I do wish I had more control with it but with how capable I've seen them be it could easily happen. The story is simple but again for a sex game it's no where near as bad as some I've seen. I would pay good money (Anywhere from 40-60$) if it had a complete story that was at ~ 30 hours long. I'm really impressed.

A really good looking and promising game!

As many have said, graphics and animations are flabbergasting; the world is original, with all kind of races and customization. I'm not a fan of furry, but I must say those cats are sexy as hell! Voice acting is good too and the whole game oozes lust.

Two things stopped me from giving five stars:
- sex scenes are nice (some are very hot!), but really short (two cutscenes) and don't involve any input or choice from the player, so it feels like an adventure game with occasional sexy cinematic more than a real sex game;
- combat is kinda messy: you can block and dodge, but since combat is pretty fast-paced, you mostly mash the attack button for the win. I'm not sure combat will add anything to the game. I feel like some dialogue-based quest/puzzle would have been better, adding to the lore and ambiance.

I really hope it's gonna turn well, but it seems almost too ambitious, a bit like Wildlife and Star Citizen.

Ok for now, has potential

Animations 5/5 and 1/5
Story >> blank for now
Gameplay 4/5
Combat 4/5
Graphics 5/5
Screen Shake -5/5

This game is the only time that I will ever play a female character and only because she has a futa option. This game is still early in development, so the story is a work in progress and is fine for now. Combat is pretty good >> wasd and mouse controls. Gameplay is also pretty good but limited in things to do for now. I don't care much about top tier graphics, so no comment.

Animations are smooth, have nice physics, and excellent angles. Some animations have a major issue, which is where the 1/5 kicks in >> they constantly change the camera angle. Bad idea. Other animations let you choose the angle, which is where the 5/5 kicks in.

Edit, forgot >> Screen shake, I don't like it, it's bad for the brain, equilibrium, and can cause potential motion sickness even in people with no history of it >> enough said. Rating reduced to 3-stars.

Not bad for the obvious. Needs time to develop.

Super fun! scenes are well made, with good camerawork and voice acting. I really like the customizability and all the different skins and cock options. gameplay is fun if a bit spaced out, very solid foundation for a good game especially if this is only the pre alpha,

General impression:
The game is in an early stage - although pre-aplha is to harsh, they've started to implement quests and scenes.
The assets and porn is gorgeous but the sex scenes are all made so that you can't see the main action - a strange choice in my opinion.

Gameplay:
Combat is way too easy, you can beat it by pressing the right button and health potions.
The game doesn't help you much with finding quests, it needs a bit of work in the general worldbuilding and guidance of the player.
The animations, while really good for a 3D porn game need work - there's no way to attack enemies from above, no running jump attack, falling animation is completely stiff.

Presentation:
Graphically it's good but there are some minor issues, the motion blur can't be adjusted on a scale and the low setting is still way to much. Turn that off or get seasick.
The dialogue and writing in general is quite bad, especially if they want to impart a feeling of immersion in an alien/ancient world. This goes for the voice acting as well, and I suspect that it's mostly due to directing and to few takes.

Conclusion:
On a whole, it's a game with great potential, but right now I say it's only worth to play if you go and do exactly what the quest guide says and nothing more.

Game looks really good, it's still early to judge but has a lot of potential, I personally like the idea of both furry and human characters with animal heads (and the whole ancient egyptian enviroment). From a optimization point of view the game performs better than other pre alpha games I have played, especially if you think that is a 'open world' game made with UE4. Worldbuilding, and character development is not very 'deep' but of course it's a pre alpha demo so it's understandable. I would like to see the ability to take companions, unique sex scenes accompanying quests/side quests and perhaps a crafting system for unique items and weapons added in future patches. All in all, it looks like an ambitious project that I hope it gets further development.

[Pre-Alpha v0.1.50]
Holy shit this game took me by surprise. Most in progress titles that take inspiration from the likes of open world western rpgs don't quite hit the mark but so far Carnal Instincts seems like it's going to be building these things out in a way that makes sense for a h game. Your "loot" (gained via exploration, quests rewards, or in shops) are mostly items that will allow or augment the sex scenes in the game. Having sexy clothes, different body shapes/colors, and different sex organs is a fantastic way to introduce interesting loot into this type of game and I can't wait to see more.
Very excited to see the future of this title and what they do with it.

This game is basically adult furry assasins creed. Probably the highest quality of game I've played on this website.

The game is still in early stages and needs a lot of content added but I'm excited to see it be developed.

This game is a bit of a mixed bag overall. Reviewing 0.1.50.

Pros:

• Great graphics. Some minor visual glitches, but that's to be expected for a game in pre-alpha.
• Spot on voice acting (for what little there is). One of the voice actors really needs to invest in a better pop filter, but that's pretty nitpicky.
• Great animations with the exception of one sex animation that, at the time of me writing this, does not properly handle insertion.
• A seemingly interesting world. I say seemingly because while it's clear they have a lot of lore figured out, it's mostly just hinted at in the game.
• Has a sense of professionalism to it that I can't quite describe. Might be going places.

Cons:

• The controls are a tad clunky. It feels like it's going for a Dark Souls sort of combat scheme but the mechanics don't quite express that properly yet.
• There is absolutely no direction. You'll see a lot of people in the discussion section asking where things are and if they have missed anything. I get that this is open world and all, but once you get off the boat and turn in the first quest, there's really no sense of what you should be doing.
• The visual of an animal head on a human body might be offputting to some. Not for me, but I'm putting it here because I know it'd be a deal breaker for some. It's clear that there will be more animalistic bodies later, but for now? That weird mixture is pretty standard.
• It helps to have a map. Too bad there's no map yet.
• UI is unfinished and you can currently only view your inventory (excluding the escape menu).
• No clear explanation of saving and loading the game. It's the P and O keys respectively, by the way.
• The world is pretty empty right now.

It's definitely worth keeping an eye on. If the game does what it's doing but more and better, it'll be a winner. I'm not sure if I'd sink money into their Patreon yet, but if this hits all of the right buttons for you, it could be worth investing to support their work.

good graphics, especially the animation
cool idea with the change of dicks and x ray
very disappointed by the dialogues, because of the complex controls and a lack of voice acting for many characters
the quests in the nature of give & serve did not fit at all, as well as the fighting
However 4/5.

For a pre-alpha this game is excellent, the animations are smooth and really well done, there is a surprising amount of customization at such an early stage, the combat is ok, as long as I'm not forced to fight multiple enemies I don't see it as a problem (you can see all the porn it currently has without the combat) and the map is really well crafted, there is a somewhat low amount of NPCs in the map, but the ones that it has serve a purpose and it's only really empty where there is nothing to do (which I think it's a good thing, better this than a bunch of lifeless NPCs doing nothing but deceiving you into thinking that there is extra content).

This is a pretty ambitious project but at it's current state there isn't really much to do. It has a lot of potential so if the developers play their card correctly I can see this being a good game.

Positives:
- The game controls well. A lot of 3D games have terrible controls, so much so that I wish they'd just stick to 2D so I can play the game without fighting the controls. This game controls really well, especially for a pre-alpha.
-Models are beautiful. Not the best ones I've seen but they are good enough.
-The world is interesting and looks good.
-Sex scenes look pretty good although they have some problems I'll get to.

Negatives:
-The map is big and content sparse so you just walk around doing nothing, a lot. This is a very early version so I'll allow it for now but if they do not manage to fill the world with content, this can become a big map with no life like so many other 3D games.
- Combat seemed pointless and uninspired. I think if combat is not one of the best parts of the game it just shouldn't be a part of the game. Again, this is a very early version however I've yet to see a 3D porn game with good combat so I'm very skeptical.
-Sex scenes had some awkward camera angles and no ability to control the camera manually. I would either make the scenes well choreographed or just give the players control over the camera.
-There seems to be a vague story however it was conveyed very awkwardly and made me more confused than if there was none at all. Definitely needs more work.
-I just...don't get the weird face mask thingies. You have a human body but you have weird animals heads that you can attach on your head. Granted you can also get animalistic bodies but the whole equipping body parts/animals heads thing feels like a bizarre choice. If the purpose is to have you be able to transform into different furry creatures, there has to be a better way to do it. Maybe that's just not my thing and other people love it but yeah.

I'll just wait for more updates to see where this goes, I think it has potential to be a good game but it can also go very very wrong.

This is PreAlpha .1.42 so if I remember to come back when/if more finished.

Can't skip anything but normal unvoiced talks (as many claim/say) so -1

No point to combat besides 10% chance to get a shirt/no direction/keeping quest icons after doing quest so -1

Got stuck in a building that I crawled into that had fake mesh floors (making crawl atm not only for sure pointless as far as I know, but a trap and not the fetish kind) so -.5

Not much to it in any way shape or form outside like a tech demo (to be expected as a pre alpha) so -.5

good Graphics + interesting enough sex including decent tale action finally so +1

shows potential so +1

=
2/5 below average or just what points it has (take your pic like you will apparently be able to pick your head+bod+penis in this at any time).

Art/Desing : 10/10
Animation: /10
Sounds:8/10
Mechanics : 7/10

I often follow new updates on the forum.Maybe I've played more than 100 games.Some of them were games with animations, but this game is at a different level from others. I played Wild Life, but I could not experience it much. So if we don't count it, Carnal is the best game I've ever played. Actually it would make sense to give 10 to all of them when scoring, if we consider other games.

Overall: As a new 3D game this game is Fantastic. Since it is a 3D game, it should have more freedom and more interaction with every NPC or more.

Pro:

• Good animations,
• Inteeresting sex position
• Nice graphics

Con:

• Story too short
• No map
• During the sex scene is quite (No button, mouse interaction, no control of camera)
• Can not skip conversasion/animation with NPC
• Need more NPC that can interact with or more sex scene with every NPC .

Pretty good, fun to play, short story so far 12/2/20 but has a lot of potential, combat works and its not a chore. No save function yet but not really needed yet. Im looking forward to future updates.

The combat is nothing top tier that scratches triple A games or anything, but it certainly is better than a lot of souls-likes that are unironically sold on steam for their gameplay. I reckon with the addition of more weapons it'll be more fun, but I already enjoy it so far even if it's a bit janky at times. Maybe needs a parry system? Or any kind of reason to roll over attacking to stunlock or blocking.

The inventory system is great, although maybe a bit small, but it's so detailed and properly done there's very little I can say to this except that it's nice. Having the option to stockpile customization options to change on the fly is an amazing idea that is very underrated.

A ton of customization options with skin, head and dick, absolutely great. Even if there's only two dicks right now, that is amazing in it's own right.

The scenes are so well done, I was expecting basic loops of one scene per encounter, but there's so much variety with great camera work and even x-ray. Even the tail scene was interesting. My only complaint is to add a skip button (or enable to go next scene instantly) because I accidentally misclicked the tail scene and had to watch it 5 times.

Quality. Nothing else to say. For 1.58 GB this looks like it could straight up just shit on most titles these days in terms of quality. The models are really good looking and I've only noticed very minor issues with them.

Plot - while I don't usually care too much about this, it's a great plot that livens up the whole game.

Variety - Having the options to switch your dick on the fly, or to make yourself different skin races and colours will never grow old. I kind of wish the races had differently sized dicks, or that there will be more variety added but I'm already quite happy with what it has so far.

With the addition of the quest log (and a map?) the game will be so much better, too. It's a bit hard to find stuff currently and none of the edges of the map are clearly defined, to the point where you walk for five minutes to find out there's an invisible wall on the way.

But yes, big fan, will follow this with open eyes.

tl;dr:
Pros:
- Combat
- Inventory
- Customization options
- Scenes
- Quality
- Plot
- Variety

Cons:
(- Performance)
(- lack of content)
- No map
- No skip option
