    TLDR:
    Grindy repetitive gameplay for little pay off.

    PROS:

    • Good CG Rendered Images
    • Well designed and Easy to understand UI
    • Solid Storyline/Setting
    • Decent variety of characters

    CONS:
    • Grindy gameplay
    • Repetitive dialogue
    • Slow progression
    • The need to constantly search around for a specific event in a specific time window to advance the story
    • When you do reach a sex scene it often has a repetitive nature when you have to watch the same scene play out to get a little more dialogue and few more renders
    On the surface this game looks amazing. The design of things is really well done, but dig a little deeper and you'll find disappointment.

    PROS:
    - Good renderings of female character models

    CONS:
    - Extremely repetitive
    - Infinite Loop
    - You will need a walkthrough
    - Few dialogues with the characters
    - Few sex content and poor scenes
    - Grind

    Review:
    I played this for hours and didn't see a sex scene or good sexual content. You keep grinding for hours and hours, wasting your time and look for some save data because your patience has reached its limit. My experience with this game was bad,
    this game has a very explanatory interface, some hint system, but the hint system is a bit confusing. You need to grind a lot to unlock the scenes, you have to do this, you have to do that. It could be shorter, faster, instead of having to keep grinding.
    Talking about the story of the game, I was not interested. I thought it quite generic, some characters are interesting and the renderings are good. However the game lacked elements that would respond well to be a playable adult game.

    Final Rating:
    I don't have much to say, I just detested this game because it was one of the games that contains the most grind I've ever seen. Besides the fact that it doesn't have a lot of content. It is a lot of grinding that is not worth the effort.

    This game is a mixed bag. I can certainly see the work that went into the basic game mechanics. The UI is quite informative and well designed. The story is pretty interesting. Characters have some personality. Dialogue is generally good. Renders are pretty good. The gameplay design is pretty good from a mechanical perspective.

    So why is it such an average game? It's just not very fun to play. It's frustrating if anything. I could just never shake the feeling that I am just scene hunting. That's the downfall of so many free roamers. What makes a game fun or not can indeed be a personal preference thing, but I think there is just some hard to describe factor. The things you are doing needs to feel like there is a purpose to it. If the whole purpose is to do randomly mischievous things to see some underwhelming scenes, that just isn't very engaging.

    I mean is it really fun walking from room to room talking to the girls who most of the time have nothing more to say, doing chores, peeking into bathrooms, jerking off, etc? If you repeat some stuff countless times, you can get something new, but its just too mind numbingly boring to progress. I played for hours and didn't even get to the actual good parts and I was bored out of my mind. I might give it another go at some point because turning strict disciplinarians into your plaything is one of my kinks, but getting to that point seems like such a chore (pun intended).

    There is a pretty good quest tracker and hints system in game. You generally won't be stuck with no clue what to do. Its just there are so many things you gotta do to get anywhere and a lot of the tasks are repeating scenes with slight variations each time until you unlock the next level kind of thing.

    I can say this though, if your tolerance for scene hunting gameplay is high, you will probably enjoy this game. It's rather well made for what it is.

    Reviewed 0.9.2

    Simply amazing. I’ve always liked Ren’Py due to the simplicity of the gameplay as well as the quicker pacing of the story. However the simplicity is two-edged, while easy to progress and play, it is sometimes unengaging if the story and character isn’t there to carry the game through.

    With Cure My Addiction (CMA) the characters really do carry it.

    The art assets and animations are beautiful and enjoyable to watch. There has clearly been a lot effort into crafting the scenes and the rooms as well as the animations. The H-scenes are super engaging and the female characters amazing. The environments are amazing and varied (trust me on this part).

    As for gameplay, there isn’t much to talk about. You progress through the day completing tasks and chores and move the story forward by completing certain actions or witnessing certain scenes. I had difficulty triggering some scenes but this was very rare. Each character follows a pattern while on the boat and it is easy to find them. Overall simple to learn and play, the lack of consequences may deter some players looking for a more engaging gameplay experience.

    Story is protagonist gets into a situation where he gets to interact with a harem of female characters. It’s sounds simple at first but as I progressed through the game and learnt more about each character I couldn’t help but get attached to them. They were all so love-able (minus one), each with their distinct charm and personality. Although the plot seems a little far-fetched at first, I grew accustomed to the absurdity of it and the events that occur on the boat.

    I played some of it using a walkthrough and some without.

    Pros

    • Excellent renders and beautifully crafted animations
    • H-scenes and female characters are a treat
    • Simple and easy to pick up gameplay, very chillax
    • Characters lovely to interact with
    Cons

    • Simple and easy to pick up gameplay
    • Issues with some events not triggering
    • Story lacks any sense of urgency
    • You haven’t played it yet
    Suggestions: The developer is very active and fixes bugs very quickly so if you find anything please let them know. Overall awesome job with the game and I hope to see more amazing work

    Quantum Singularity

    I literally loved game at first point at the beginning. But damn chores, and stupid random event and repeating things over and over just to see 1 simple small scene...let's start with GOOD:
    - rendering and almost all models are beautiful
    - tho 3D models are most skinny
    - plot is good boat aunt etc.
    - chores ok but sometimes Is boring as fuk
    AND BAD THINGS:
    - why da hell I need to repeat scene a billion times till I get bored as fuk
    - random events can be often but sometimes u wait another random event like billion years...aunt can catch u jerk ok we understand but why she catch u jerk same scene over and over again ??
    - and those doctor scenes all were naive low IQ yes I go to doctor and she will help me out by sucking dick and jerking despite my aunt said there is no porn on this yacht u cant watch it cant jerk it...

    This was amazing when i first started playing, but so buggy and the sex scenes are not that good if you compare it to the graphics, its a good game but after playing each and every update it gets tedious. sometimes too much of a good thing is a bad thing. i would have rated it 5 stars but have played games that are better than this in terms of story, sex scenes and game play. it is a good game but not in my top 10

    Update: thegary contacted me and asked me to explain so he could make the game better, turns out i was playing old content... and he also sent me the sex scenes in the new content i believe. much better, guess we as players have to realize with each update we are not only getting more content but the dev is also getting better.

    from the new stuff I have seen. i turn this to a 5 star.

    This game is just excellent! I haven't seen something that caught my attention like this in a year or more. Incredible graphs, nice storyline, beautiful girls and a challenging game! I have just recently started to develop games, and I recommend this to everyone! The effort that the developer and his/her team has put on it to make all the fun interactions that are available while walking around the yatch makes it very unique and exciting! Great job!

    PROS
    • NO NTR, CUCKING OR SHARING
    • Nice models and renders(not top notch but better than average)
    • Good sandbox atmosphere because girls are always doing something, they don't disappear until the next event
    • Nice variety of fetishes (bdsm, anal and petplay content is abundant)
    • You can turn off extreme content(femdom/harsh spanking)
    • Regular and fast updates
    • Plenty of content (v8.4)
    CONS[
    • Wonky gallery mode (but it's a Renpy game so not a huge con)
    • There are some annoying girls but
      You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    • Huge grind in the beginning but new updates don't have that and you can always use cheats
    • Rollback is disabled, you need to use unren to enable it

    This game threw me off center.
    I really hate anything painrelated... and thats the main focus of this game. Even though its mainly just spanking. Direct turnoff for me, and was it in this game as well. But the game itself, is great.

    Great story, and it evolves very well. Dialogs are good and consistent. So I still played the game through. And wasnt disappointed at all.
    It annoys me that i like it :D

    Another triple A erotic game alert. Getting the vibes from the a classic porn game, but in an much improved way - it is a long game to play, but with a lot more fetishes and not stupid random generators to make you crazy. And for the quality of gameplay/dialogs/images it's 10 out of 10. Maybe genetalias look a little bit more cartoonish for my taste, but still it doesn't ruin the overall perfect game experience.

    I love this game... has kept me entertained for many an hour... needed to keep walkthrough on standby though for finding tricky bits like being in a specific place at a specific time of week... pain in ass without guide those bit.. but apart from that love it , needs more thumbs up from folks if u ask me..

    K-Zen

    Funny and quite original story. Well written with a nice touch of humour. Characters with good renderers and (thanks God) average boobs size and penis.
    The hints/achievements are easy to follow and the fact that none of the quests can be "lost" due to oversight is a real bonus.

    WindIsHowling

    Decent enough game, but a bit of a tease when it comes to giving you any sort of meaningful emotional or physical progression with most of the main characters, therefore is only 3/5 stars.

    Would do a lot better with some better storytelling - the characters are kind of all over the place and seem to change every update, and the plot is non-sensical at best to fit in as much spanking as possible at every opportunity.

    “Cure My Addiction”

    First I thought this is just another generic 3d render model game, so I didn’t give it a chance until recently. After having played version 0.71 with a completion rate of 100 % I’ve got to admit, I was wrong initially.

    Although I’m not into femdom, which can be skipped by the way (but there are only a few scenes and since I wanted to see everything, I didn’t skip it), this game really dragged me into it. It’s also not the quite heavy spanking content during the whole play through, since I’m not into it, which kept me playing, but the scenario as a whole, the beautiful setting and nice renders.
    The latter differ in quality in my opinion. Emily, the redhead, is done with a superior quality, very realistic, 1 A quality render, the dev must have put a lot of love into it, while the others don’t look as much realistic. Still well done, no doubt, but there is a gap, when you compare the render quality. The others look more artificial concerning skin, faces and body compared to the redhead.

    Concerning gameplay, most of the time, you have to be in the right spot at the right time and talk to the npcs. As you continue, you’ll unlock more and more content. Some quests are linked to each other, so you have to check “notebook” and “progression” screen regularly. You can do it without a walkthrough since most of the time the explanations given to you by the game are sufficient. There are small exceptions, where I had to ask around in the forums. Since I didn’t know this game, when I started it and since it’s not yet completed, I feared there were still a lot of bugs or situations, where you’ll find yourself stuck. But to the contrary, this game hasn’t got dead ends, which is a mayor plus of this game. With a little bit more patience and checking the “progression” or “hints” screen, you’ll manage to complete it.

    The gameplay has got three main settings so far, which can be described as Yacht 1, Island and Yacht 2. It’s recommended to complete Yacht 1 with 100 %, before advancing to the island and Yacht 2. The new island location after Yacht 1 can be delayed, as much as you need time in order to complete the previous stage of the game. You’ll be able to get back to Yacht 1 from Yacht 2 during dream sequences in order to replay earlier content, which is a nice option of this game, but you won’t be able to finish unfinished quests. So keep that in mind and don’t advance until you’ve got 100 %.

    Yacht 1 in my opinion was the most challenging part, players are eager to unlock everything and the specific game design keeps you hooked and playing. The island changes gameplay a little bit, since the player is in charge now and his decisions have got consequences. It’s a nice change, which adds a lot of new opportunities to the game and feels like a reward for the player. You’ll be able to get back to the island from Yacht 2 from time to time in order to unlock other paths. Again, you can’t miss out content, which I really like about this game. Yacht 2 unfortunately is the weakest part of the game so far. The graphics are well done, better than on Yacht 1, but the gameplay itself is rather boring. It seems like every progression unlocks simply by skipping time. Of course you still have to talk to npcs but it feels like as if on rails. I lost a lot of motivation during my playthrough of Yacht 2. Gladly the player is allowed to take a break from this rather unchallenging later part of the game by going back to the island in order to explore different paths.

    I still can really recommend “CMA”. It has got some improving potential concerning gameplay on Yacht 2, which feels very passive and concerning render quality gaps between npcs. But those are the only points of criticism so far in my opinion. Have fun and consider to support the dev of this lovely game!

    One of the best games i have witnessed. the story is dynamic and broad. very good renders i loved the revamp of the game , it was good transition. so realistic renders, the progression of the story is good not rushed. i would like to have characters to be somewhere at any given time than to have some characters completely missing from the game at certain times, but a master piece indeed. keep up the good work.

    tl;dr:
    It's a game about spanking ladys. You can be spanked yourself but that's optional. Good render quality, excelent game overall. The spanking game with the most content here.

    Story
    The Story is plausible enough not to break the immersion.
    I like it.

    Originality
    The game does nothing brand new, it just sums up other games

    Renders/ Animations
    The Renders are top quality. Really gives you something to work for.
    There are not much animations so far but I prefer good reders over
    shitty animations.

    Sound/ Voice Acting
    Only one scene with sound so far (?) but it's not really needed.
    Voiceacting would be aprreciated of course.

    Playability
    A big Bonus. This game is accessable an has few frustrating moments. It's simply FUN and that's what a game is supposed to be.

    Performance, Bugs
    ok

    Grammar
    I'm not a native speaker, so who cares ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Amount of content
    HUGE content with exactly the right amounth of grind (which is not much^^).

    Great storyline, well executed, great graphics, well thought out GUI. All the characters look great, dialog is well done. Built in walk through is very useful. Status idicators help you understand the things you still need to do

    When characters are interesting, rendering is high quality, and story, even if outlandish, is also exciting, i become a patient and stubborn player, not too concerned about grind.

    This is exactly how i feel about this game. To start with, I went to the island enough times to explore the various twists. For the first few times i did not focus on one path each run. Then I started with focus on completing one path at a time and saving the end to come back and go through the next one. Finally I had a save spot with all four paths completed at 100% of the island.

    This was great, and it was excellent start for version 6 as it allowed me to chose how to start the new version by selecting one path. To my surprise, i found out after some playing that I could go back to the island, go through a new path and come back to the boat to start new sequence of events. I loved that as it gives so many potential game fund and continuation. Very well executed. But what's new about that, the game is well executed from day one.Yes there is grind, but it is more than justified for players who pay attention and learn when to "skip-time" focusing on the story.

    Great game, in my humble opinions one of the best around in terms of rendor and general plot. Spanking features a fair bit and while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, i suggest sticking around still as the rest of the content are amazing. Also one of the very few games with an asian character/art in the plot

    Pretty good game overall, and better than most sandbox games

    + Dialogue is well done, entertaining, plenty of humor and interesting scenarios
    + Do you love spanking/some femdom? Then you'll LOVE this
    + MC is hilarious to watch, in how he manages to convince everyone around him to make things go "his way". ( Not the usual horny brat, that does chores around the house)
    + Renders are top notch, unique and great looking models ( mother especially is one of the hottest characters in VN)

    - Bit "too grindy", repetitive ( though nowhere near as most similar games). Timing based system where you have to make choices ( which characters to pursue), in limited amount of time, would be better
    This would add more replayability while making it seem more plausible ( well, as far as it goes in porn VNs)
    - No rollback function, or any music
    - Hint system could be more precise at times

    Overall, this is ( one of )the best sandbox games out there and a step up compared to many, many similar games.
    ( I typically rate games a bit lower than most people here, so 4 is by no means a bad rating here)
