VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Dreams of Desire [v1.0.3 GOG DE] [Lewdlab]

This is straight-up THE BEST INCEST GAME out there.

- the models look amazing.
- the characters and their actions make sense
- the MC is a decent human being
- there are so many fetishes in this game
- the story is REALLY good and engaging
- the relationships are believable
- there's a perfect balance for the amount of dialogue and sex scene.
- and my favorite genre "Incest" is very good in this game.

It starts interesting, with plenty of choices and a workable premise. The art is good, and the sex scenes are ok and varied.

But as the game progresses the quality deteriorates. Player choices become sparse, and the game turns into a kinetic novel, with a story way too much up its own ass to justify the lack of interactivity.

Worst of all, the game’s ending is determined by what might be the worst possible mechanics: with – I believe - the possibility of locking yourself into a bad ending if you make rude choices at the very start of the game. I cannot believe someone thought it was good idea, especially giving the genre.

Pros: ...
Cons: Horrible writing with grammatical errors all over the place.
Plot feels like it was written by a middle-schooler.
One of the worst scenes was when the MC attends a party and his sister, Alice, is there talking to some guy. The developer has the guy straight talk shit about the MC to his face and your sister, whom he's supposed to be super-close to, does nothing. Ridiculous.
The graphics are dated. New porn games are already nearly photo-realistic.
Developer was too lazy or cheap to buy breakfast graphic assets so you essentially eat a sandwich for breakfast every morning.
The MC is completely unlikeable with absolutely no charisma and his dick looks outdated. There was one scene when his sister, Alice, takes a peep and his dick looked like a pointy stick.

Dreams of Desire is a game that, for me, was somewhere in the middle, but ended up falling on the bad side of the line. The reason is mostly the story. Don't take me wrong, it has some pretty decent ideas, even though all the "magic is real and there are secret organizations" is way too cliche. But the first problem with the story is how it develops, it has plenty of scenes that don't add much and many good ideas are lost on the way. And, what is worse in this kind of game, it feel like choices have no impact in how things go on anyway. So it ended up becoming a bummer and, even though I started readin everything with interest, it all ended up becoming a quick skip button mash. And I don't get it why people call every other "roommate" or "landlady" when they clearly have the relationship of family, not of people sharing a flat.

As far as render quality goes, the game has some pretty decent ones. Animations are so-so, a bit mechanical and uninteresting on many occasions though there is some improvement as the game progresses. And, as far as sound goes, I muted it since almost the beginning since I didn't like the music it played. And, at least for me, there were no bugs worthy of mentioning.

So, all in all, it's not a terrible game, but it isn't good either. And it ends up feeling pointless and unrewarding to advance.

Definitive Edition Review:

This was a complete bust to me, all this hype for what?
Voice acting?
Mediocre animation?
Bad renders?

At the end of the day money is money and that was the sole motivation here, even if it meant totally crapping on your other game and those fans.

I've played this scene abt year. More you play more you demand of the game.

I played final version 1.0

+ Good story
+ Great graphics
+ Fuckable characters varying from thin teen to voluptous mature
+ Playable UI
+ No bugs

One of the best games in this genre

The original version is one of the first AVNs i ever played along with Harem Hotel and it helped get me interested in the genre. It's not perfect, but none of these games are, there all done by hobbyist and indie developers.
The mind control and sleep sex are a turn off to some and if you are super averse to those particular kinds probably best to give this a pass. Everyone else should give this game a go. It's got the bases covered with the character archetypes and they models are all great looking. Dev does a nice job with framing and facial expressions too. The addition of sex scene animations really turns up the heat on scenes that were already pretty good with to begin with. The animation quality isn't entirely consistent but it is way more good than bad.
The writing, characters and narrative are all solid and engaging and have enough heft to keep the player engaged with the story.
Overall one of the better games on this site especially with the new animations and definitely a game everyone should check out except those who really don't like the kinks

It's not THE best, but it's damn close. Outstanding 3DCG, decent story and stunningly beautiful characters and animations. The interface improvements are what every other Renpy game should aspire to. Very appropriate sound track which isn't corny but sets a mood for the scenes. It's not a game it's a kinetic adult novel and that's just the way I like them. Hot Taboo milf goodness at it's very best A+

Good Points
+ With Definitive Edition we got 60FPS proper animations and they look pretty good.
+ Our render style and quality looks pretty good.
+ We have pretty interesting and kind of original story.
+ We have seven different endings: Mrs. Turner ending, Tracy ending, Alice ending, perfect ending aka the harem ending, the alternative perfect ending aka the harem ending with pregnancy, corruption ending and then bad ending. And having that much ending is pretty interesting for VN Game, so we should give our DEV right here, lots of game dont even make second ending those years and even now.
+ Choices are matter a lot and they can effect endings aswell, so its not just fap feast VN choices are not matter and you can skip without thinking.
+ We have one DLC from point of wiew one of female characters and its gives good vision from outside of MC's point of wiew for understanding story better.

Bad Points
- Some scenes can be disturbing for some people like jerking off your sleeping (step) mother or your (step) sisters etc...
- First three chapter renders looks kind of bad without quality mod, DEV should have fixed them while relasing this new ''Definitive Version'' like our amazing modder done. This is realy realy big bad point, you are making so called remake for your old game and not remake old versions while some free mod maker can do that... Thats just not acceptable at all...
- While story interesting and kind of orriginal but some details about story dont make sense or DEV explain sometings not good enough. (BTW its not that big negative point.)
- Some character developments can feel like little bit forced sometimes.

For The End
Its pretty good game and became little bit better with Definitive Edition. I gues adult game players should try this game? It could be 4-5 star rate game with fixes and DEV had his chance but not done it... He could have make better remake than this, its still good and im gonna give 3.5 star.

This game is very good at what it is meant to be. It has interesting story, well done scenes and dialogs. It shows you what it would be like if things were this way in real life. I personally enjoyed it a lot. Development in the story have great pace and it is done realistic-like, as close as possible. You should not miss this game if the content suits your taste.

I am one of the few who really don't like this game.
The models look awesome and the mechanic was interesting in the beginning.

One of my biggest problems was the story, between the little teasing and sex scences you get pages of infodumps which are not interesting and destroy any erotic buildup.
The progress with the woman is all over the place, sometimes you influence them only a little and than another woman gets changed with one go to a complete bimbo.
The worst was the mother and mean older sister.
In the beginning you slowly influence the former and the progress is subtle but exciting until she gets instantly changed but the black monster to be sex crazed.
The sister was always hostile and you used only a bit of the power on her in more of a revenge way, than you help her and she instantly spreads her legs.
To each their own but for me this is boring in a mind control heavy game.

It seems you get multiple endings but as far as I can tell you have little choices in how you want your character to react and behave.

Maybe I had to high expectations but imo the game is a slog with too much "story" and boring sexual devolpments.

This game is very well written with an interesting story and great characters there are multiple paths that lead to different endings with different scenes and there is a guide to help get them and there is a mod for a gallery and ending viewing check this game out and share with friends support the creator if you can

Of all the adult games I've played so far, this one took the longest to complete. I stopped keeping track after about 15 hours.

It really takes its time developing, with small increases in sexual acts with each character. That sounds common for adult games, but this one definitely stretched it. There is so much dialogue and plot and it didn't help that I wasn't interested in it. There isn't too many characters, so a lot of the dialogue is the MC thinking to himself.

The mother character plays a huge role in this game, or at least she gets a lot of screen time. Because of that, although I'm uninterested in her, I don't get to choose and still have to sit through a sex scene I didn't want, and there were a lot. And that can go for any character really, the game plays itself for the most part.

There is a small element of character bonding in this game, but I think it mostly affects the very ending. Characters didn't seem to act that different based on my choices, which made them feel meaningless. I was just choosing which sex scene to see pretty much.

The ending by the way, I have no idea how that came to be. I understand there are multiple endings, but regardless, it felt forced and rushed. It felt like a drastically different game from the beginning and almost comedic. The whole fantasy storyline felt like a side thing. How to obtain the other endings I have no clue. There is very little choice or interaction in this game, it's almost a kinetic novel.

Almoste the first scene:
Jerk of on your sleeping mom. At that point I mostly lost interest in the game. Continued for a bit but it did not get better.
Does not help, that the models are boring / ugly.

Got the bad ending on first playthrough. Didn't care.

Great characters and lots of variety in conversations.
Perhaps the only negative is incredibly slow opening with A LOT of focus on the mom, but other than that, ton of fun.

The best VN out there. Overall story, images, consistency and replayability are so good, that I can rely on it any time of year to be the same quality time.
Also that music is stuck in my head and only associated with the game. So whenever random youtuber plays it in the back of a video I remember the game and look over my shoulder to see if he / she mentions the game itself. They never do, cause that music is just royalty free audio, as I discovered later. Anyways, I second this game, it's great.

Now this may not be the popular response but I genuinely hated this in fact I'll go as far by calling this "Boring as Fuck". TBH I was very eager to play this 1 too since this is 1 of the most popular AVN here but man was I wrong, I did try my best biting my tongue hoping the game will improve as u go along but unfortunately there is a limit to which a man can suffer & this 1 just broke me. First of I'll tell the 1 & only thing I felt good about this is the character models in fact the Mom is 1 of my fav MILF models(of course nothing comes close to my fav Linda from Milfy.. ahm..)
Now the CONS:-
1.The story is not only boring but has plenty of plotholes.
2.Characters don't even react like normal people.
3.My biggest issue is that the MC gets pussy just like that without any hardship/drama cuz that's the biggest issue when u make a MC endowed with Firehose as dick all he has to do is show his D & every Women will leave their BF hell even the whole family for it. But if that wasn't just enough here they also give him a magic shtick all he has to do is just say his mumbo jumbo & that's it she's all yours.
4.My suffering wouldn't have been that bad if atleast they had some decent sex animations but all u get is the GIF image
In my humble opinion this is definitely something I would not recommend

[After playing v.1.0.3 GOG DE]

It wil always have some special place for me as this was the very first porn VN I've ever played and I was amazed just by the idea of this being real. I didn't enjoy every aspect of it (the times when you talk with that dark figure weren't specially interesting) but overall I enjoyed the story and the characters. The sex scenes are great too.

I loved this game, the shapes of the bodies is spectacular, especially that of landlady.... I wish there was a continuation or second part of this game but including animations in the scenes ... I love Stiglet's work, he is a master.

This game falls victim to the Great Idea Poor Execution trap.
At first glance everything feels incredibly superficial, the characters are all more or less the same. Their dialogues have that strong feel that it was all written by one person who can't really find the characters inner voice. They all more or less feel the same.

And that's a damn shame because the story is actually compelling. It has that mystique that makes you wanna play more to unravel it all. But it never really finds it's pacing and it feels like the story is just stumbling and trying to cover it up with forced sex scenes.

It does tickle that mind control kink but it often comes across as awkward instead.

I'd love to see this story pulled off the way it was intended with interesting characters and great dialogues. But unfortunately this is what we get.
