VN - Ren'Py - Defending Lydia Collier [v0.16.2 Hotfix] [White Phantom Games]

Game version: [v0.11.3]

One of the very few games that manages to do realism right, while still having an exciting narrative. The setting is (mostly) grounded, the characters are believable and fleshed out. The love interests are actually quite different from each other and not just interchangeable sets of holes to add to a harem.

The sex starts off fairly tame and even safe (been a while since I've seen condom use in a game) but it can escalate into very kinky and rough stuff pretty quickly, especially with Steph (the blonde.) Now, nobody fantasizes about safe sex (at least I hope you don't,) but it's an excellent way to make the characters seem more like real people. It also leads to one of the hottest sex scenes in the entire game when a lack of condoms leads to surprise butt sex. Complete with dirty ATM, if you so choose (and aren't a square.) This game actually dares to go places when it comes to kink that you rarely even see in more "porny" games.

One of the problems the game has is that the different LI routes are somewhat unequal in terms of content. It's pretty much the Steph show so far, but the dev has acknowledged this and is giving the other characters more focus going forward. I'm kind of disappointed that Lydia herself apparently isn't considered an actual LI, she's the one I'm most interested in after Steph.

Renders are only decent, but the writing and worldbuilding is what really makes this game. The dialogue flows naturally, there's news websites to read and fake social media to stalk. The most recent update added a great soundtrack and even things like custom recorded in-universe radio segments. The dev is really going the extra mile with this game and it results in something that is the equivalent of "must watch television."

Renders are quite impressive.
I also like the Branching of the story.
Expressions of models in the game are precisely made.
I love this VN.
I am giving this VN 4 star because there's always room for improvement though it is quite good.
I like it because it has some parts of mystery element to it.

I love this game, definitely one of my favourites. It's far from perfect, graphically the author is improving but it's not great, anyway it's still good enough for me. The writing is pleasent and the story is grounded, I really liked that, characters are believable and I find myself replaying the game just to get the exciting vibes I get from the interaction with one of the lovely crazy and damaged LI. Play this game right now unless you're one for incest and over the top harem games.

This review is for v0.10.2

This really is a great find IMHO. Story is really interesting. I do love the fact that the person you're dating can affect other parts of the game. So it really feels like your choices do matter.

For me the strength of this game lies within the storytelling. Fappability is low because animations are very minimal and static images consists of very few frames and then the sex scene is over. There's literally one image of putting it in then, the next one is you orgasming. User interface's one huge problem is the scroll back feature that often snaps you back 20 clicks instead of just scrolling back one page.

Overall I'm looking forward for the development of this game seeing as the story is solid. For now 4/5 stars.

Fappability - 5/10
Story - 8/10
User Interface - 5/10

Pretty good game.



Im curious what will be next..



From character development , all the way up to story. So good game I haven't played in a while and trust me I have played many games but this one is just really good I hope the developer will continue because the game is really good.

characters are 9 out of 10

story is 10 out of 10

scenes are 8,5 out of 10 (I hope in future update's will be more spicier scenes if you know what I mean)

Overal I will rate this game 9,5 out of 10 (I never rate anything with number 10 because nothing is perfect so my highest score is really 9,5 out of 10)

I hope developer will continue on this amazing game.

Truly amazing game.

After playing v0.10.1, here's what I like and didn't like about the game.

I like:
- great and engaging story, I really enjoyed the action thriller theme. It is one of those well written stories that you rarely find from these games
- hot sex scenes
- nice renders
- the player can choose whether to pursue a relationship with other characters or not

I did not like:
- the sex scenes would be better with more animations and POV shots
- not much sex scenes with Ellie yet and I hope that there will be more in the future updates
- it seems that Connie Frankland is not one of the love interests, shame, I really like her especially with blonde hair

All in all, it's a great game with a great story and lots of sex with hot women so it's a 5 star for me.

Interesting Story, which engages to read it, not just skip. Interesting tidbits in local newspapers and a betting minigame.
Three love interests, with different personalities and kinks, whereas one is splitted into different paths with Trophy Wife being my favourite.
Good renders of scenes.

I must say, this game has blew my mind. I honestly thought I've played every good erotic game on this site but this one is beyond words . The main advantage it has over dozens of other titles is that it offers not only vanilla sex but also something more kinky, sometimes even hardcore stuff and it does so with taste. Games like Starless are too much for me, often they're way too disgusting and one must skip too much to enjoy it (IMO of course) but this game caters to people looking for something more unique while at the same time it does so with proper refinement.

Pros:
+ Very good dialogues and story, writing here is in the top 5% of all erotic games I know. It has interesting twists and turns but still remains realistic enough.

+ Characters are varied and extremely well-written. They react to our disposition and responses accordingly, there is no randomness here and they behave in character. Their development and development of the potential relationship is also great, well-paced, logical and intriguing.

+ Multiple paths and women to pursue, with meaningful choices and non-obvious conclusions. Even decisions that don't reward us with sex scenes are extremely interesting (I don't want to spoil too much but MC has quite a lot of room to operate and we have a lot of freedom for a VN).

+ Many exquisite sex scenes, I was surprised how much content this game has. If you will play it be sure to make different decisions during replay because it offers much more than one would think.

+ High replayability, even if we would focus on the same woman we can develop our relationship with her differently depending on our choices. It's nothing game changing (some slightly different scenes) but it is above other erotic games that lack such subtlety.

Cons:
Can't think of anything meaningful but if I had to point something out is that it lacks sound (I don't care about music, maybe sounds during sex scenes could be added but I'm not sure even since this doesn't diminish the enjoyment I have when playing this game).

All in all I rate it 10/10 and ultra-rare Sunabozu's seal of approval.

Great game, one of my favorites on the site. Lots of paths featuring different types of girls that are fairly believable, and the story is interesting too.

Exciting to see what comes next. Especially regarding giving Steph plastic surgery and turning her into some kind of bimbo slave housewife. That's fucking hot, and there aren't enough realistic high-quality-render games with a physical transformation component to them like this one.

What can I say? Really great game! The story and quality of the exposition stand out the most, as there are so many details and no incongruities what so ever. Even the small things, such as the news and the emails are done to perfection. Great storytelling.
Couple that with really beautiful models, nice renders and good sex scenes, and you get an amazing gem.
Deserves more views/patrons/followers/downloads.
Good luck and goodspeed!

Excellent game with divergent play through depending on choices. The game has a lot of variables even when it comes to each character, which could alter the story and the scenes you receive in a completely different way. Really amazing work on the choices and consequences that tops even the most famous role-playing games. If you like a VN that has multiple choices and options than this is the game for you.

It is a great game interesting story and three very different women.
Nice mechanics with the overhall adding the phone and social media apps. The story is interesting but if you came just to fap its got you covered too

Some of the best world building and atmosphere in a game here. From explaining British court room procedures, to reading articles about the war on drugs, to betting on Women's World Cup, you can tell the creator really has a knack for this kind of thing. Can't wait to see how great this story turns out to be

Let me start off by saying that when I review something I'm not reviewing a game or a visual novel. I'm reviewing an 'adult' game and 'adult' visual novels.

I am impressed with the level of detail and extra effort the dev puts into this game, it's just not in the right places. I really don't mind a great story or lots of crunch as long as the 'adult' part of the game is top notch. Unfortunately, it is not in this game.

The sex scenes are extremely lack luster. Some of them are only 3 different screens with a 'hey lets have sex', 'hey this is awesome', and then 'hey that was awesome', and done. Most of it is not animated. The build up to sex is very minimal. The actual sexual act is boring and barely even portrayed.

This game is a perfect example as to why I'm not a big fan of 'mystery/mafia/police story' background stories. The dev ends up making the adult part of the game more of an afterthought instead of a focus of at least equal importance.

The scope of the project looks big and intricate with lots of 'actors'. Unfortunately, I found my self bored many times because too much time passed between 'adult' content and then the 'adult' content once received was not satisfying at all.

So if you're looking for a rich story with a little bit of 'adult' flavoring then this game might be up your alley. If you are on this website for 'adult' content first, then you may find yourself disappointed with this one. So to sum it up: Good quality content in everything except the 'adult' aspect of the game.

I love the idea of a game set in the legal environment. The characters are good and very different one from another, and the renders are very good. I hope that the main storyline becomes more in-depth and I'd like to see more "court-environment". Anyway, a very good game.

Great visuals and character design with an interesting story with alternative choices throughout it and well-written dialogue.

The story revolves mainly around MC's profession as a lawyer and a specific big case, alongside having different interactions and events with multiple characters including choosing MC's love interest and having multiple options during intimacy scenes, which are well structured and made.

Some minor critique I have with the game is that some characters are much better implemented into the story than others and have more events and scenes with them and the phone and laptop interactions are kinda dull at the moment but might be improved in the future updates.

Appreciating your efforts man. Nice looking renders, amazing story, gorgeous girls. Hopefully we will get some longer updates like previous one. They want me to write 200 words, i say 200 words aren't enough to describe what you doing there. But looking forward like i always do.

Really liked this one. Fun, quirky dialogues without errors, an eye for detail, nothing rushed. Interesting characters, enough foreshadowing to create some mystery, but not too much. Great pacing and a good use of flashbacks.

* No sandbox but some phone/laptop content that occasionally requires a bit of clicking here and there
* Little to no animations but renders are really great
* No music

Steph is the best Can't get enough of her

(v0.9)

The story of the game is really well written and engaging.

But I have to say I had a hard time finding an attractive woman in the game. Although I love the story, I did not like the models much. It was only Vanessa that caught my attention and looked beautiful. I felt like there was a bit of an orientation towards Stephane in the game, but it really wasn't a model that really interested me. But these are my opinion of course.

Although the renders are not dazzling but I can say good enough.
As for animations, there is very little in the game and there is nothing worth talking about.

The rest is fine and the gameplay is long and not boring.

I would have liked a little more animation to be added to the game and, if possible, some more improvements to the girls in the game.

I really liked the game and look forward to future updates.

And to the producer of the game: You need to update the photos you uploaded for the game, only Ellie is in the images and I think the images you designed much more beautiful are available in your game. The images you upload play a very big role in promoting your game

tl;dr: Detective story with adult elements. Very much worth playing.

This VN has a certain intimate mood. There is only handful of LI, it is very-story focused. Impressions that accompanied me throughout the game are thrill, excitement, arousement. What game feels like, is that it is a story-driven game in the first place, and lewd game in the second, which in my opinion is a perfect combination. Not much or even non humour whatsoever, but this is expected from the setting of the story.

Those who seek waifus won't be dissapointed. Girls are very good looking, especially shout-out to stunning beauty and intriguing Stephanie. Apart of the characters, renders are good-quality, low resolution and only few animations, but it is fine with me.

Fingers crossed for this project.
