HTML - Confined and Horny [v0.17] [Tukann]

I don't play many HTML games, but I've seen this pop up in my feed a few times and decided to give it a shot

Reviewing as of v0.17

Pros:

• Animations are crisp and fluid
• The two girls are very cute and well-made
• A slow burn corruption-like game. Not really corruption but more like getting the girls to fall in love with you
• Plot is somewhat generic but still good
• Around 2 hours to complete
• Cheat code/gallery is in the game

Cons:

• A lot of clicking around and doing nothing at times
• A lot of skipping time just to get one scene you want
• Some grammar errors
• Gets repetitive very fast

Conclusion:

I'd recommend this game but also temper expectations. If you aren't feeling it, maybe wait a few more updates but the game is so many builds in that I think if you don't like it, you probably never will.

omg I LOVE clicking around the same 3 menus for hours at a time and failing 90% success rates that I only had one chance for a day over and over again! I LOVE finally passing that 90% check, just to get the wrong scene because it's randomized, so I can't move on with the plot! I LOVE repeating the same scenes over and over again to regain relationship points that decay through time and bad luck!

You get the point. This game is tedious. I have played many HTML games before and understand their limitations, but I actually do feel a small sense of progress and accomplishment in a lot of them, unlike this one. Internal RNG is seriously messed up in this one as well. 80% is a lot closer to 50%, and I've never passed a 60%. The H-scenes are pretty good, the writing is decent, but the gameplay loop feels like being stuck in the second circle of hell, doomed to repeat the same actions over and over again hoping something will change.

Confined and Horny is definitely something different

Tukan's choice to use a unique engine really makes a difference
you can tell right away that it's not just another cookie-cutter game. Everything feels fresh, and the gameplay is super smooth.

This one is not for me, that's pretty clear. I was taken really aback by the html mechanics, first one I play that works in HTML and I find it unnecesarily clunky when compared to RenPy or such. Also, render quality is pretty low, as are the few annimations I got to see. Writing didn't seem bad which is a plus, at least in the while I played, but music was pretty... hmmm, generic and not cool? Not sure if those are the words, but it sounded like bad japanese elevator music. So, all in all, I dropped out fairly quickly from it, and don't find it appealing at all.

Reviewing v0.15.1.

Since the game is not finished I won't go too in depth.
I personally really enjoyed this actually. This might be the first HTML game I did not quit and makes me want more after I caught up.

I'll start with the few negatives I have.
- Once you reach the later half of the game, there are too many "dead." days where you just skip them to get to the next event.
- The animations are good until you have to manually play them, it feels like you're forced into one speed of clicking cause it turns awful if you go to slow or too fast.

Positives:
- The story is actually not trying hard to make things overly complicated. We have a simple setup of confinement and it works well as the backdrop for this.
- The animations (before manual play) are pretty hot and they work well.
- The contrast between the two girls works well, I like that we have the more slutty Olivia that just gets down to business and Emily who slowly discovers herself.

For the future I'm really excited to just have more content, content that fills up the more "dead days" gaps but also what comes next, possibly the introduction of the delivery girl to the cast (with the spare room and all).

Score as of v0.15.1 is gonna be a 8/10 with excitement for future updates!

Game isent bad but the story is very bland which makes it a bit boring, but what makes it extremly boring is the repetitive gameplay doing the same stuff over and over and over, the same scenes 5 millions times or skipping and skipping days.

It dosent help that the storyline moves extremly slowly so gaining any kind of progress takes hours for what is really a total of 5 mins worth of content so the work vs rewards is just not there, maybe its also due to stuff being locked behind patron which makes it feel alot more empty.

As for girls there is only 2 and maybe a 3rd will be added at some point (delivery girl) not that i cared much about her but in any case there is really only good content with a single girl right now, still very slow to get there but atleast theres some.

As for the second girl the small tits one dosent really have much content other then a shitload of slow progress like you have seen before where it goes from hugs to kiss to licking to BJs to grinding just alot worse then what you normaly see since theres 50 times the same thing before moving to the next, its so bad that they only just now are talking about anal which i dont even care about so theres still a loooong way untill you get to fuck her, so almost 2 years and only a single girl has decent content.

Also the RNG is just fucked, the number of times it fails on 80% or even 90% chance is way of the charts so it feels more like 40% at best.

Game is also really small for a sandbox since it all goes on inside an appartment due to virus lockdown thing but i guess lockdown dosent count for delivery girl for soem reason that i might have missed.

The reason im up to 3 stars is really due to the animations they are good not crazy good but above average but they cant hold up the games alone.

The music is standard background stuff nothing special.

As for the sandbox its also extremly boring and repetitive, i mean the number of times you have to take a shower or jerk of is almost none stoop since its every single day, then you can buy a pill for boners but it only works once when caught by a girl and has 2 days delivery timer and its the same fro shower sprey thing, you can only buy one each at a time.
This kind of stuff really hurts the game overall in a big way as well, if you can use cheats to remove MCs weird sexual issue that constantly gives him boners from nothing would help alot but i dont have cheat code and i dont like to cheat in games either since then theres not much point to playing.

This has become a recent favorite of mine.
I feel like the progression of decently paced, the mini games are just the right amount of challenge, the animations are great and I love a game with sound.

Minor gripes include:
The luck of getting the scene you want. (She has to be in this location at this time, with high stats. Then you need to roll well. Then do it again 2 more times)

No stats on the delivery girl. I'm sure there's more planned with her, but I have no idea if it's worth burning money to increase her affection.

When Emily gets scared, there's a scream sound effect. It's pretty jarring and unexpected the first time, then annoying the next 5 times. Could do with some muffling so it sounds like she's screaming down the hall, not in my ear.


All that aside, great game. Might even be with my patreon dollars.

Confined and Horny is a really well made html game on the technical side I must say.

I find the progression and gameplay loop rewarding and the scenes are well made. I'm curious about the future girls planned as new roommates!

It's a 0.14 that feels like it trying to trick you into thinking it's longer by using repetitive tedium instead of gameplay. The model bodies are meh, but the clothing is done very well.
The patreon is based on eliminating tedium, which means you're being asked to play LESS of the game, which no matter how common always seems weird to me.
It's 40 minutes of actual content (if that), stretched into hours by having to follow a girl around like an in-house stalker for 20 minutes just to get a micron of movement on their storyline.

Confined and Horny is a time management game following the sexcapades of a blank protagonist and the sexy girls he lives with.

It's a decent enough game if you're just here for the animations. They're pretty damn good with a solid amount of variety. It's most everything else that's weak.

The story is lacking, but at least doesn't really get in the way. The characters are thin, barely one dimensional with a little random irrelevant backstory thrown in. The "gameplay" is just busy work to fill time between scenes, but at least the grinding is limited.

Overall, if the art quality wasn't as high as it is, it would be three stars. However, the art really is its saving grace. There's a lot of it with limited busy work to keep you away from it. If that's what you're here for, you won't be disappointed.

I want to review the 3d Models,

I think that they are great so I give this a pretty good rating but I think it lacks personality.

I'll explain, the face of the girl is very beautiful but there is no much expression on her face, if the dev could add like a smile state, a angry state, a horny state etc... It could be pretty good.

The skin is quite well made tho, it's oily and just enough smooth looking.

So I'd rate this 4 out of 5.

Simple, but a lot of fun. If you do things in an unnatural order, some dialogue is a little weird, but otherwise, very well made. The animations are all good, and the story is interesting, if not a little fast paced. Anticipating updates.

im not a huge fan of html games but this one i'd gladly make an exception for. the "trapped in a house with hot girls bc of quarantine" is a great new trope to arise from the pandemic and this game executes it well.

the girls and scenes are both hot. the gameplay can be a bit tedious at times but it does add to the experience and helps it be more immersible and enjoyable.

the dev also appears to be receptive to feedback which is nice to see.

just make sure you export your saves often

Excellent game. Scenes are well done and the pacing is great. It's a little repetitive but progresses smoothly. Looking forward to new content as the gameplay stalls at the very end when fewer scenes are available.

The only real con is it is kinda repetitive and somewhat confusing to get a scene without looking at the help/walkthrough area which is common in games. Hope the dev can figure out a solution to that.

All in all, I like it. It has a lot of mechanics from the dev's previous game so those familiar will enjoy. I'd like to see where the dev takes this game in the future.

Just played the game from start to finish.
I liked the overall pretence and character building.
Scenes were nice and the LI were very likeable.
Excited for the Mia content as well.
Only point of improvement I guess was the looping mechanism where you had to cycle through a few times before getting the correct randomly generated scene.

Shambling through the streets of lewd trying to find an apartment, I find myself stumbling upon a well kept den filled with two beauties wanting me to warm a bed for them. However the more and more I find myself trying to keep them entertained and the house well kept, the more I start to feel as though I'm the one being taken advantage of.

Welp, as you can probably tell this game is a bit of a divided experience for me, and some biases that you can probably glean from the opener is that I have played this game for a while and have some caveats that I think crop up from a perspective that stretches all the way back to when this game was first released. This game wants you to both be a people pleaser, while at the same time wanting you to be a coomer with supposedly horny roommates. However, I feel as though that balance at times gets a little whack in how the contextual scenes start to evolve, but more on that later.

Anywho, onto the review.

Confined and Horny is essentially everything that the title invites. You are a bumbling protag with some means of personality but for the most part you're a self insert MC that needs a place to stay. You find an apartment filled with your 2 love interests and within a week the tele states that unfortunately covid some virus has spread throughout the world and everyone has to stay confined. There's no real evolution on that part of the story, the most it does is confine you (hence the title) to the apartment without having to worry about an overworld beyond that.

And with everyone being confined, everyone starts to get horny. Or, well at least that's what the title promises but it's a little more nuanced than that. Like living in our default states that covid invited for most of the world, being confined and horny invites a lot of thoughts as to where you can take this premise. Will there be corruption? Will the ladies start to get more daring, frustrated and enamored with MC doing a lot of work around the house while praising them? Will this introduce a free use kind of setting the more you start to score? Again yes and no, which I think is the game's main problem.

To explain this better, the gameplay is cookie cutter stat grinding with a little bit of a twist. This is where I think the game unfortunately invites the most frustration for me, and potentially for other players depending on how you take to the grind. The majority of this game is spent on grinding conversations for your 2 LI's, for both affection and lust. These will then influence chances on sexual actions you can choose later on, an example of this can be that early on you have low affection and/or lust, the percentage on doing a successful first baser hug will only hover only around 25%. Bump up said stats then %'s start to usually hover around 80-90%, however, every girl too has phases they can level up to, once you max out both affection and lust you get a new phase that invites new lewd scenes, new lewd actions and yet your stats tank.

When your stats tank, namely due to the stats now having a new ceiling to climb to, suddenly all the previous actions you could do now are back to shittery and you can no longer hug your LI's without them telling you to stop pervin' out after they themselves started giving you handy's and the like, thus leading you back into the conversation grind. That's perhaps my biggest gripe with this game in the teeter-tot give and take it constantly asks of you, so much of this game is tied to upping the %'s so that you can start lewding out much more smoothly, yet there are so many times this game takes that away from you just when you think things are starting to thaw out lewd-wise.

I could forgive this if every new phase opened up more options in the grind, which it does, kinda, but in spite of getting to a point where you are banging, if not having said LI's invade your room to bang they are still constantly bouncing from wanting a fuckfest palace to being overtly weirded out by your lewd intents no matter what their stats say. It feels like the game is missing a more smoother progression rather than feeling as though all you're doing in the end is unlocking more scenes. As with every scene unlock, things essentially still stay the same, the LI's still want the same answers from the same conversations (which never change) and the only thing that evolves is the extension of certain scenes, and/or introducing new ones while still maintaining that status quo of how responsive these LI's are going to be with RNG stat choices.

This can be further found out between two other stats you have to unfortunately wade through, being dirty (you need a shower every other day) and your boner meter. Yeah, MC is perpetually stiff, and if your half-chub goes to full mast unfortunately the LI's are creeped out on you sailing it openly, in spite of whether you already are banging out in the open in the household. With these two you have to balance them out or again you tank the stats of one of the LI's.

Which...I just don't get it. This is the point the game has broke me in this incessant grind you have to constantly wade through. The shower part I get if you want something to have the player keep an eye on, sure, but so many times this game breaks its own context on the latter. Girls are still creeped out by you choosing a lewd comment but they can barge in on you jackin' off and tease you as your choking the chicken. Or one of them can ambush you in the night to give you a random BJ yet still be taken aback at you gawking at her when she does dishes in her underwear, and Jesus Christ, you can have the stiffest boner in the world after giving oral to one of them in the living room and suddenly they say you're the biggest pervo loser for swinging that monster around thus pissing them off.

And that's basically Confined and Horny. I wanted at first to give it four stars with the feeling I got after sticking with it for so long but this game's constantly trying to both invite and prevent it's own concept from happening. It does have great scenes, a nice scenario and both LI's have well-written (porn-wise) personalities when you do go through their more intimately written scenes. Aside from that though the actual skeleton of this game that you interact with most of the time can start to really show you the cracks after even a single playthrough.

Overall 3/5, if the grind can be reworked then I think it'd be more than ample at sitting at a five but after a couple runthroughs this game does start to feel like a three star triumph trying it's best.

Good game , this is one of the very few HS games i found decent because of the effort in animations and stuff that is being put.

Secondly the grind isn't too annoying which is always a plus point as well

Thirdly rating 5 cuz made by a very bad tekken french player who's lowkey homie.

loved it. Characters actually felt more real than most porn games, had good content, story wasn't bad. Simple yet very effective. Ticked every box for me, and i am not entirely sure why. high quality all around

Solid game with good animations and models, can be a little bit grindy at times but the hints are good.

Decent if basic dialog and story, look forward to more content.

Sound effects in latest patch definitely make a difference (in a good way).

I do wish there was more difference in the dialog as the game progresses/relationships change
