Ok here's my opinion.

I won't discuss the purely technical side because as a first work I understand the difficulties.

I have some doubts regarding the writing though.

The choice to have the MC tell the story in the first person would be good. The fact is that he explains everything around him and talks about himself as if he were an external narrator and not like a demon.

Let me explain better: he reiterates several times that he is capable of bad and unspeakable things and goes on to describe what he did as if he was not even there. Wouldn't it be better to have us read a typical villain's reasoning? Maybe talk about why a demon enjoys to do what he does?

I don't know, personally I would watch the whole dialogues again.

Positive note for the style that I really appreciate.

This is one of those creative thing that did not get fixed in the entirety. Originally it was supposed to be a narrator, but our alpha test reader(s) didnt like it so it was attempted to be changed. This obvious failed in a several spots. This will be fixed and polished before our next update. Most likely moving back to the narrator style as I thought it worked better.

Thank you.

To hit back on this, some of my favorite sex scenes in games involve dirty talk.

Seeing two pixels bumping uglies is nice, i mean we are here for a story and an orgasm, right?
But there is a difference watching an interesting peace of lewd art and getting pulled in....

For me the best part of sex scenes is the dirty talk, watching as a female's eyes roll into the back of her head as the main character whispers sweet little threats, like "I know you've been dreaming of being taken like this, no control, no power, just forced to endure this painful pleasure... Don't you love how full you feel when I pour myself inside you? Now you need to be a good little whore for me, and let's rip another orgasm from you're pulsating sex... Good girl.... Now, if you're a perfect little girl for me.. I'll flood your womb with the warmth you've so desperately craved...Oh...you're so close, I can feel you tightening around me...Now who's my good little breeder...? Are you ready to let me to claim your womb? Who's my perfect little whore...?"

And watching her toes curl as she has mine shattering orgasm and practically vibrates in her response.. "Meeeeeee...."

Dialog and dirty talk add SO MUCH to a sex scene. I wish more Dev's played around with it.
I would assume if you are complaining about our sex scenes , you're involved in our story (just joking don't kill me) Joke aside tho , we are working on polishing the novel chapter before continuing on and yes we will finish the sex scenes and hopefully bring some of our readers to their own orgasm and thank you for the feedback and taking the time to read our story.

Any other porn games with similar aesthetic and style to this? Reminds me of VTMB too, modern but with dark fantasy elements. Also I like a protagonist who is not necessarily a complete good guy either.

I am not aware of any other games like ours , but our protagonist is most definitely not a good guy. I do hope you enjoyed our novel.

You'd add a Yes/No menu choice.
Yes would make a variable of your choice True. For example

"Yes."
$ lgbtcontent = True
"No."
$ lgbtcontent = False

Then further down the line when it comes to the sort of content you're after. You'd set it like

if lgbtcontent = True:
(Text and Scenes)
else:
(Alternate text and scenes that would follow the story without it)
This has been implemented, will be seen in the next update

Ok ... its ... a start?

It is very short with very view choices. I like the setting, but even with the amount of words used, I dont really have grasp on the characters. It doesnt help that the game ignores the customs names at the end.

And I have the feeling that there is some repetition in the writing already - I havent checked that, but it feels as if there are some phrases that are uses more than once.

In general it is quite word heavy for the little that is told. Then there is the issue that it is not as easy as it should be to see the transition from dialog to narration. Maybe use another font and not just cursive.

Ok ... end then we have the visuals.

Puh ... yeah it is a learning piece - but man. That is way to blurry 90% of the time. When you use so low poly models and stuff, you have to deliver sharp images. The models look horrible at times - the dicks are just tacked on and change colors.

The background image is sharp, the sofa is sharp, but all characters are blurry as fuck. Then we have several clipping issues (boots from MC), the feet/leg from the black haired woman.

screenshot0002.png

Here the pillar is sharp and crisp, but the interesting part is blurry again.

screenshot0003.png

Here the couple in the bg is sharper than the focus of the scene - and again clipping issues.

With the missing descriptive texts for the sex scenes and all that, this just feels like are rushed release. I think probably 30-40% of the images lack proper focus.

I dont know what render engine that is, but this looks like some low demanding real time stuff - especially when there are no render times, the posing and focus must be way better.

In the end it is trying to be a VISUAL novel ... so...


I think the setting could be fun - even when I have no idea what the premise is. There are these 2 demons and their 2 pets ... doing sexy stuff. We get a bit of backstory, but the game does not take the time to explain why we are where we are, and what we do there ... So its as gonzo as it gets in that regard ... but then there is all that text that tries to build a mystic atmosphere and sets a otherworldly tone ...

My recommendation would be to redo the images to get rid of all images with blurry characters (the sharpness of the title image in this thread is good), cut down the text in some parts to streamline it and use the word count to be a bit more focused to introduce the characters.

Thank you for reading and for the in depth comment. As is we're already working on improving the script, the story line and the quality of the images. There are images that are intentionally blurry that is no mistake. Some of the images switch focus from the one who's talking to the person they are talking about, that is also intentional just like in a movie. With that said, however I do admit that there are images where the focus does get blurry and that will be fixed in the next update. Also, there will be text during the sex scenes.

This has been addressed and will be seen in the next upload.

... Then we have several clipping issues
I can tell you've never been in SecondLife.

But a 20 year old game should not be a reference for visual fidelity ^^
Why not? There are no rules against it, that I found. SL actually has a rule that encourages so long as nothing imaged/videoed does not violate ToS. It also fit within our budget to make our story and make unique character models. Also unlike much older games that are still popular SL updated their graphics, bodies, skins and so on. So while it is a 20+ year old visual social network, it's also been updated properly again unlike other popular games that are older.

What's to discuss. Most ppl are not gay or lesbian. Forcing them to play either is only gonna get ppl pounding the ignore button. More than forced ntr would. And that includes skipping so scene is skipped but happens anyway.
Happens... Would be more worried about what happens next door in real world than in any VN or erotic game...
