Others - Dirty Chatting [v0.15] [Mimir Games]

Review as of v0.15

+Love the premise
+The artwork is unique
+Actually interesting (but small) puzzle gameplay, enough to be a small amusement for an update, not enough to be obtrusive and obnoxious
+Based on the 0.15 update: moves at a good enough pace to remain engaging, but not so fast as to be absurd like 90% of sex/hentai games

-While the artwork IS unique and good, dropping the color artwork for black and white (as of 0.15) is disappointing
-Updates are a bit short, I've felt consistently that they each needed on more "beat" or moment in them
-Paths haven't diverged yet much - making choices feel non-meaningful but with the most recent update it seems this will change very soon

Overall an outstanding debut from the developer. Very interested to see where the game and his career go from here

This game has a lot of potential, and I’m excited to see where it goes. Although it currently lacks content, the foundation is solid, and the gameplay mechanics feel engaging. I really like the tiping style

Not a lot of content yet but what there is so far is all hand-drawn, easy to use and interesting; the feature about saving photos before they're deleted and using them to search for clues is fantastic. I can't wait to see where this goes in the future

Review of the version v.0.14.

Game is fantastic. It's a really novel idea and it's executed incredibly well. The UI is incredible, the art is pretty good, and the story is solid.
While the story is nothing out there, it's written well and characters are endearing. More over, because of the nature you interact with the characters, going through the story is very engaging.
The idea of going through other apps and their photos to put the pieces together and gather information is very fun and well executed. And the ability to edit photos makes it fun to try and get as many of them as you can.

If I were to nit pick, the only thing out of the gate that I think the game could use is a load button in the options next to the save button, so it's easier to go back to an older save if one wants to see the out come of other options. As it is right now, you can only reload a save is by closing the game and open it again.

All in all, incredible game with lots of potential. Big recommend. Can't wait to see it grown from here.

Literally been waiting for a game exactly like this for years. Love the art style. I absolutely hate the ai trend and I'm tired of all the same 3D models in every game but this style feels so fresh, unique and really cute! The characters strike a good balance of feeling realistic but still insanely hot and sexy, while not leaning too hard towards being plastic unrealistic hentai girls and supermodels. The writing is so charming and engaging. I finished this version all in one afternoon. Can't wait for there to be more, I'm praying to the Gods this one doesn't get abandoned.

It's a promising start!
The writing is nuanced, in first two episodes it's mainly dedicated to getting know the characters. Unlike many other games in the genre, it actually cares to set up substantive dynamics between characters, showing their insecurities and personalities. Game has a great potential and gives you things to anticipate for an episodes to come.
The system of interaction in this game is special. I very much like the non-linearity in this game as opposed to other sexting simulators, where usually all you can do is respond to messages and scroll through pictures you've got. In this game, you can actually interact with pics and miss stuff. There's also limited-time events as well. This system feels breathing and open-ended, but it would can be elevated with two things:
1. Option to turn off the hint mode. (Including narrator contact, btw)
2. If we could actually fail some of events where we need to find stuff on a picture. Right now there's a locked choice button if you didn't find a needed detail on a picture. Right now it seems like a meaningless roadblock to progress the plot. We'd have a lot more possibilities to roleplay if it was possible to progress without it. Combine this with limited-time events and finding clues - and we can get some great dynamic stuff I'm not sure I've seen anywhere else.
There already is a completely missable interaction with Jade in the first episode, it actually feels rewarding to get it because of it. Great stuff, I'd really love to see more of it actually woven into the main story!
That being said, there are minor things that I dislike.
1. The art is nice overall, but face seem a little bit unbalanced and flat, like a caricature of sorts? Especially when characters look directly into camera. I think it's mainly because of lips and general "heaviness of faces". It's much less noticeable when they look to the side and in sketch versions. Actually, black and white sketches in this game give a lot more clear representation of form and weight and are in general more pleasant than colored ones.
2. Why protagonist ends his messages on " ! " 90% of the times? And other characters do it too, just less often. It'd be a lot more organic if this was cut in half, I think.
3. The name of the game could be more specific, right now it's pretty hard to remember, and hence, find because of generic wording.

Overall, I think this is the game with one of the biggest potentials I've seen in a recent times. I suggest trying it out even in this early build and even if you're not into the artstyle.

Fun game, different and engaging.

Interesting story, nice investigative work.... some quick events and wrong picks lead to missing content and no easy way to rollback / reload impairs enjoyment. A rollback feature or a tree of decision would make this a much nicer game....

I love games with funcational phones, nudes and sexting, cant wait for this one, the photo editing mechanic is fun along with the clues and investigating keeping it fresh and breaks up the endless text so great job with that as this could have easily been just an endless texting game

I think this games great. It is very short, I played through it in like 10 or 15 minutes. But it's very interactive, you get to make choices and find clues and things. I think the gameplay features are very creative and fun. Overall the potential for the game is really high, and I think in the future it'll be fantastic!

Very short right now and pretty low on nsfw content but extremely promising.
Really enjoy these games with a fake phone/pc structure and the mechanic of investigating the pics and profiles to progress the conversation with characters is cool.

The art is pretty sweet, I like the main interests design especially and the premise would easily allow for a range of character types to be added at a later date, but i wont get ahead of myself.

It's not often I find games on here that I like for being actual games rather than the porn but this is one.

Absolutely one I will keep my eye on, probably support it too if updates are regular.

Playing version 0.11.
Short at the moment, but this has bags and bags of potential.
Fun art style, the main girl is cute. Very well written.
Really looking forward to seeing how this develops. I'll probably pick this up again at version 0.5 or so.

EDIT 1 - Gave in early and played 0.14. Progressing nicely. Will try and hold off for significantly more content but keep up the good work.

Reviewing v0.1
I love it. Unique and cute art style with unique gameplay with decent puzzles and interactivity. Only downside is that there isn't much content right now (reason why i gave it a 4 will probably go up as there is more content) but i see the vision!

I enjoyed this a lot. The art work is great, I love the nice hand drawn style, and the girls look great. The gameplay is fun and interesting, I've not scene something like this in an adult game. I enjoyed the swapping between apps, hunting for clues, and the chatting aspect.
I really hope this continues, it was a good start and a lot of fun to play!

In my opinion, the game is unique and as currently it is v0.1, I await the future of the game.
The "image editing" aspect of the game is very good. The art style of images used in the game is a breath of fresh air. I don't personally see many games like this.

Sexting games aren't exactly uncommon on F95, which, as (theoretically) a fan of the genre, would seem - at first - to be a good thing. If I want to text fictional people to get fictional nudes there is ample selection; here I am, at the well of perverse desires, with ample enough to satiate my thirst.

In reality, chat sim games are not so much a genre as they are the dumping grounds for every solo dev's first project (and it would seem, first foray into the english language). Stilted dialogue, characters as envisioned by misanthropes with more patreon money than sense, games coded so poorly that you pray your computer doesn't gain sentience just to kill you for running them, and art best described as "unfortunate".

Dirty Chatting avoids all of these pitfalls. It might well be the first chat sim porn game that I actually enjoyed playing, rather than stomached for the framing device.
The art is cute, I think the image editing mechanic is fun and not too hard on my suspension of disbelief, current headcanon is this is all accurate predictive AI rather than computer with superpowers but it's not make or break for me either way. The lack of color is probably convenient for developing for remotely feasible deadlines and it's pretty to look at regardless.

Clementine is good love interest, she is at times trite but it comes off as endearing, it definitely seems like an intentional decision, rather than the fault of bad writing, she's your nerdy but not utterly irony poisoned ex-classmate and she comes off as real in a way most porn game characters don't. A big reason for this is that the game - so far - has a clear consistency in narrative voice, which is undoubtey helped by the pacing.
It's early days, but when I finished the demo and I hadn't yet gotten several nudes from Celementine I was happily surprised. The breakneck pacing of most sexting games completely ruins the point of the genre - seducing characters. If after message #3 I'm already getting texts about how many children we're having together then I might as well google big titties. At least you can avoid the dialogue in porn. So far this game has kept a medium burn and it's far better for it. I really hope this stays the case.

Dirty Chatting actually qualifies as a game as well! not a choose your own adventure book with tits drawn in the margins. Granted, it's mostly finding things in pictures and fiddling with sliders, but it's a fine line to walk before people start complaining about game in their porn. This game constitutes above the bare minimum, and playing with sliders is fun.

As of posting it's very new game, so if this ends up being another tragedy of the genre I'll have been rightly shown up for my earnest review of a porn game (see it's fine if you lampshade it, that makes it less sad), but only time will tell. In the mean time, kudos to the dev for making a game that is actually playable, I'm looking forward to more.

Good premise. Reminds me of "Emily is away" in that the gameplay is just online chatting, but with boobs. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes. Will be keeping an eye out for future updates. Best of luck!

Looks good so far

You basically talk to a girl (atm) and through the conversation and other sources you get clues that you can use in dialogue to unlock more content/get her to like you more, you also can edit images with "AI" (magic) to get more clues on her.

I enjoyed it and look forward to the next updates.
