This game is nuts. I've been exclusively playing 2dcg games all this time, but since I've read so many good things about this one I decided to give it a try. Oh boy... I'm absolutely hooked. Obviously, once I finished this one, I downloaded Once In a Lifetime too and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I tried to give other 3dcg games a try, starting from the most liked ones in this site, but most of them try to go for this realistic look which gives them this uncanny valley feel that I can't get over. Do any of you experience this too, and which games would you recommend? Thanks!
I have a similar issue, idk why but the daz3d ones always seem to hit less for me than the honey select, in terms of aesthetic and hotness. Of course this depends on the artist and how well theyve made their characters, since honey select can have some pretty mediocre ones as well.
I rarely am able to stick to realistic cg games, but after putting off Artemis for a while I gave it a shot and got pretty hooked to the story and characters, so that one might be worth a try.
In terms of honey select style games, obviously the top contenders are there: Ripples my personal fav beside Eternum, Pale Carnations, Deviant Anomalies (bit iffy on the gameplay but overall aesthetic and scenes pretty high quality), The Inn (pretty good sense of humor from the dev), Dark Magic (bit lower quality than the others but not bad), House in the Rift, Harem Hotel, Oppai Oddysey (last 5 are sandbox, but Oppai Oddysey kinda of a blend of VN as well)
Be aware tho, once u play Eternum, Ripples, and Pale Carnations, as well as a few others, you might not be able to play any other HS games due to getting used to their quality
Would also like to recommend Mist, original artstyle but pretty good scenes and story
Some other realistic artstyle games are good, just have less stories that I'm personally a fan of, or the artstyle is too uncanny valley like u said, or just straight up unappealing/not that hot. But there are some that have pretty hot, more stylized models.
Personally would love to see a spin on daz models by Caribdis, see what kind of game or characters he'd be able to make, knowing him they'd be pretty spicy, especially his milfs and tomboy/badass chicks
