HTML - Degrees of Lewdity [v0.5.6.8] [Vrelnir]

I want to like this game so much, it has a lot of things i would be into, but it is genuinely such a slog to get there. Then, when you do get to something that might be hot, you are stuck reading the same descriptions of whats happening as the damn tutorial, and doing the exact same actions. Your choices boil down to "get raped" and "get raped fast" and "get raped but also take a bunch of damage and have to go to the hospital." The animations are bad and the character looks like a child, so you aren't exactly rewarded with some eye candy.

Frankly, for this game to be enjoyable to me, it would need a complete overhaul of the art or the "sex combat" to be more varied and interactive.

Don't even get me started on everything else. Progress in this game is incredibly slow, and you will constantly be interrupted with those repetitive forced sex scenes.

Love the game and hope we get some more customization and more depth into morphs like hooves as feet and stuff. You can change alot of the game settings which makes it more playable for me because im not that crazy into rape content. Alot of content and even more with mods.

Its also on my List of best Futa games.

-ALOT of customization and settings for the game
-very nice visuals and even better with mods
-soft endings so you can still play the game like if you in prison you can escape it etc.
-alot of content and gets updates
-animated sex scenes

Just wow. Amazing gameplay, insane depth of the world as well as named characters. Great art, a bunch of mods and a very active community, both for the base game as well as the mods. Can recommend to anyone, if you want a gripping experience.

you can sink months into this game and still find new content. animations arent that great but there are plenty of mods that improve it, and difficulty settings/preferences to make the game play exactly how you want. there is seriously something for everyone here, absolutely worth a shot no matter what you like

fantastic. achievements that can give bonuses on a new game. and a lot going on overall. fetishes that cover a lot of bases and many customization options to turn off the ones you dont like. simple but also complex

Look. I've played this game for along ass time. I am tired of pretending that it has any depth. Content is there, oh you best believe that. Most kinks you can think off are there for you to engage with. But this game despite being wide as an ocean had a depth of a fresh puddle.

Your protagonist is a fucking LOG. They have no personality, no feelings, no emotions, NOTHING. A goddamn doll would have more personality than your protagonist. Its instantly makes most of the content meaningless. Trauma, stress, control, etc, etc, all these stats are just numbers, they do not translate to the actual gameplay in any way, shape or form. Your protagonist could be railed in the alley by a pack of dogs and day later they would be like nothing ever happened. There's no descent into the debauchery or violent rejection of it. Nothing. I honestly can forgive game a lot but literal abandonware feels more polished and better made because dev actually bothered to make protagonist a person even if amount of content is far less.

Oh also this dev is hardcore sub I guess because even when your protagonist is the one who initiates a scene, they still a total sub. People call this game victim simulator for a reason and last I heard dev almost violently rejects any notion that player character should be able to like actually fight for themselves or even be the one doing rape.

Speaking of hardcore sub, dev also for some ungodly reason thinks that debt to Bailey is an excellent motivation for a player! First of all, you cant even pay off the damn thing. And second, this debt is either cripplingly annoying if you dont spend time grinding money or absolutely trivial and thus annoying anyway if you do. Also inconsistent because sometimes Bailey slams you with it first opportunity they get and other time they just dont give a shit even if you were missing for like a month or whatever.

This game has pregnancy mechanic. Shocking news for everyone, I know, because of how fucking useless and wasted it is.

I believe a lot of problems other than player being a log stem from the fact that dev cant make their mind if they want DoL to be a gritty life simulator of sorts centered around sex or a full on porn game that has elements of life simulator in it. As per usual, compromise makes everyone unhappy and thats how you end up with this game.

Download it. Play it for a time. It can be fun even! But the more you play, the more you start seeing cracks and once you see these cracks, you cant unsee them.

This is the only game I'm constantly going back to. There is things I wish they would expand or add but there is no doubt this game has quite a lot of content and thought put into it. Honestly my biggest issue with the game is doing the achievements is quite annoying to me as I always feel like I need to do achievements in games but I dont always want to have to play a certain style or character.

Download it BUT With mods only especially with Frostberg version in here
https://gitgud.io/Frostberg/degrees-of-lewdity-plus/-/releases
As Other mentioned i understand why they are disappointed and leave with 1 score, the OG aka non modded version is not FUN at all, you'll realize after diving in about 4-12 hours the cracks begin to show up (at least for some people and me) because the game to me looks like is trying..? to give players worth of 50++ hours of contents....

and thats the problem there are a lot of contents but grinding anything is so painful even the relationships , e.g briar he/she is only show up inside the bro...thel worse if you wanna see themyou have to dance/working EVEN THEN they only show up ONCE A DAY and THAT's if you are lucky enough

another problem like pirate island content it's even more horrific, the rng for gathering wallnuts/food is insanely low, to the point if you wanna survive you have to be get gangbanged by the entire island resident, look i get it this a hentai game, but i hate it when you was given freedom to play only to get "illusion" of that freedom

vrelnir doesnt just made a game YOU are the game to SUFFER for "their"sadistic twisted fk fetish, "they" purpose fully made the character to be a beta for this reason, theres not a really freedom of play if you follow vrelnir shitty game design grinds, i have to use mods to barely made this game playable, even save mods with saveit or something

took me a while to get into this one, but once i figured out how stuff works it kinda clicked. there's a lot of depth here, even if the pacing feels slow at first. definitely not a game for people who want instant payoff, it's more about slowly getting dragged into the situations you want to. like the option to have cheats

10/10, this is easily one of the best games on the site. I know it's not something the dev will ever see or care about but I'm gonna ramble a bit on what I think would really make this game truly sublime.



tl;dr The game has a ton of content catering heavily to lots of fetishes with creative and interesting scenarios. There's a lot of love interests to get to know, the descriptive writing is great and there's an active modding community to enhance the artwork and animation to something a bit hotter if that's a gripe.

I see why others call it a victim simulator. No matter how you build your character, in every sex scene, consensual or not your character will always be the sub. The game does not give you the choice to control the flow in consensual sex either. There's no use trying to play dominant in this game , your mc will get harassed/assaulted and all you can do is basically push and run.

I've maybe put 30ish hours into this game. I've started over maybe six times. The amount of customization and player agency in this game is fantastic, and the transformations and kinks like pregnancy are really done right, and I don't dislike the artwork.

My only issue with the game is I physically don't know how to interact with this "victim simulator" of a game. Combat starts and you basically have to sit there and wait for the NPC rng to do anything to your character, it's very tedious and annoying if you're trying to get your rocks off.

Not to mention there is a CORRECT way to approach events, and often if you don't follow specific paths to the letter, you will miss out on a lot of content. Unfortunately, yes, this is a game you'll probably need to reference a walkthrough for often.

As a final sidenote, if you're interested in the transformation and pregnancy mechanics like I was, transformation as far as I can see is tied to quests, it's not necessarily a mechanic in the game.

Pregnancy is a mechanic but only for your character. And getting other characters to actually finish in you is up to rng, since you have no say in what happens to you (mostly).

It's a three for me, four if you're into victim play. Exclusively victim play.

I used to love this game... the challenge and charm, it was dark but also nice...

Now, two years after, is mostly dark and like drowning, this review doesn't come from a place of hate, but one of sadness... one of my favorite games became mostly violence and weirdness...

I miss the amazing struggling world with dark tones full of good people who made me feel like home... now, nothing is sacred or safe...

Probably the best HTML game I ever played (feel free to recommend me games like these)

Love the character customization and the idea. The Story is mid, but the unexpected interaction with the character surrounding makes it good.

Let me keep this simple and unbiased. Degrees of Lewdity is not a porn game. It's a victim simulator.

It managed to establish a vibe for itself: "You are a weak boy/girl who just reached the legal age requirement to get molested in a RapeVille, and you wished you hadn't." Usually, I wouldn't bother with games that makes you the victim, but with the way "Degrees of Lewdity" handling the story, it actually managed to pull me in.

Even if you max out all of your physical stats, let me warn you. You will still ended up getting raped. Not because there's some unavoidable encounter that will fuck you up (literally), but because you forgot that the bus is unsafe in the night and ended up getting gang raped by 6 adult people. You can't even fight back, because.... You know, 6 people?

Anyway, there's enough event in the game that wouldn't make you get bored when playing the game (at least for a while), and some of the romances is actually pretty good. Also the fact that you have to pay your debt every week to your caretaker reminds me of Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, which really gave me the nostalgia for the past (not that it's really relevant to my review, but eh).

Minus part of the game?:
-The failstate can be demoralizing and really hard to get out off, to the point of starting a new game is recommended (not really a minus for me, but just a warning)
- Money making is really hard in the early, and even extend to late game.
- Not enough consensual scene (which is fine, considering the theme. But more couldn't hurt)
- You're always the sub in every scenario.
- The actual sex scenes is....... Not very good, to be honest (at least, not good enough to fit into "beat my meat to" category)

In conclusion:
Story? 10/10
Gameplay loop? 8/10
The actual porn? 5/10 (and I'm being generous)

Okay, so I thought Degrees of Lewdity was gonna be one of those messy, try-hard text games you close after 15 minutes… but nope. This is one of those weird little games that sneaks up on you and then eats your whole weekend. I went in expecting cheap shock value and shallow smut, came out impressed at how much actual game is hiding under all the filth.

Mechanically, it’s way deeper than it looks. You’re an 18-year-old in a messed-up town trying to scrape together rent, and there are a lot of ways to do it, legit jobs, shady side hustles, or… much darker stuff. Stats matter, outfits matter, even your demeanor matters. That “gentle” face you start with? You can swap it for something sly, aloof, catty, whatever, and NPCs will treat you differently. There’s crafting-ish stuff (about 80 recipes), a tactical encounter system, transformation options, achievement currency for replays, and little touches like the mirror UI, school mechanics tied to your skills, and the new canvas combat renderer. It’s all way more interconnected than you’d expect from a porn game.

What really got me is how much freedom you have. You can play sweet and innocent, fight off every creep in town, or slowly let the place corrupt you. And it’s not just random spam, the world actually reacts to what you do. Your stats, choices, and relationships stick, and over time the tone of your run can shift completely.

It’s also dangerously addictive. One minute you’re fighting off something you really didn’t want to deal with (dogs, demons, or your math teacher being wildly inappropriate), and the next you’re just chilling in the school kitchen because you learned a new recipe in housekeeping.

The writing’s sharp, grimly funny in places, and the world is gross but consistent. It’s intentionally nasty, but there’s always some new branching hook to pull you forward. The mod scene and active dev/community keep it growing, so there’s already dozens of hours of content if you like digging into systems.

Real talk though, this game leans very dark. A lot of encounters aren’t sunshine and roses, and a huge chunk is non-consensual or otherwise extreme. Not for everyone. But the game gives you toggles for a bunch of fetishes, so you can push as far as you’re comfortable. There are still some clunky UI bits and grindy/broken events here and there (HTML/Twine quirks), but the core loop is so engaging I stopped caring.

If you like sandbox sims with real mechanical depth, massive customization, and a filthy, unapologetic world, this is a guilty-pleasure masterpiece. If you hate bleak or extreme themes, hard pass. If you’re cool with them? Yeah… you might be here a while.

Not as much sandbox as people describes.
If you do what you want you can easily end up in asylum and some other imprisoning dead ends.
To prevent it no reliable way to keep trauma ok in sub routes due randomness. Forum answers doesn't help as they follow some normie walkthroughs.
Requires dozens of hours to regrind/build skills/progressing areas in "one right order" to avoid dead ends.

Great teaser but nothing new if i strive to the core.

Too time consuming. If the separate storylines would be different VNs could be much more substantial without so much routines

Miracle that you can explore something big. But it either dull either you end up in some dead end cause you went there not at right point of stat building

10/10

This is nearly perfect, I just want more of what this game offers. I think the game is lacking in dominance part. It's pretty much random encounters where something wants to fuck you, not that you can go around and fuck others.

DoL is a masterpice. You can play pretty much how you want. You can be a forever virgin, milk yourself to get money, beat up rapists, get raped, get impregnated or impregante someone and a lot more. There are a lot of achievements you can get. Each achievement gives you coins which you can use to buff yourself in your next playthrough. This is one of my most played games of all time including non-h games. 10/10 peak pls keep updating forever

It's not for everyone, but it's one of, if not the best porn text game available. And the only reason I'm hesitating is because it's not yet complete. It has some of the best dialogue. A lot of freedom, a lot of customization, and also a lot of depth. I love the transformations, and the exploration.

The loss of control is also great. I love a game that punishes me for losing, without being so easy that I have to lose on purpose. Yet it's not imbalanced, and it's possible to overcome hard challenges as well.

And to top it all off, it has a fantastic modding community, which is something I value highly, since I like modding games myself.

The dev is also great, and has incorporated some ideas from mods into the main game, which makes for an even greater experience.
