VN - Ren'Py - Guilty Pleasure [v0.42] [Quonix]

great renders and decent story the renders are top notch the only thing that is holding this game back is each update is super super short like 4 or 5 acts and they are super short other than that good story and decent renders

- v0.23
- Visuals are stunning!
- Apart from the visuals, this game has not much to offer

First of all, the visuals are awesome! The characters are beautiful. The settings look lived-in and realistic. Even the lighting is spot on, so someone put in some real effort. The Animations are some of the most fluid I've ever seen in a RenPy game. But, even then, everything still feels... unsatisfying. Because, apart from the visuals, there isn't anything else in this game.

There is no story. The entire game is just a series of strung-together porn plots and clichés:

• You end up with your younger sister in a tent, and, when everyone around you starts fucking, you join in.
• You tutor a girl, and then she insists on thanking you with sexual favors.
• You go on vacation, and you end up with your older sister in your lap as you pass through a bumpy road
• Your family is confined on a yacht in the middle of the ocean, so things happen

By now, I'm even convinced that the whole boat plotline was only created because the author wanted to somehow, in some way, isolate the family to allow the younger sister to work on the rest of the family. The aunt selling her home, her HOUSE, just to buy a yacht, even though she had no idea how to drive one, is just too ridiculous and forced to be an actual story idea.

Same for the dialogue. Until you end up on the yacht, the dialogue in between the sex scenes is about the most mundane and boring shit imaginable. You can just hold down the Skip-Key, and you'll miss absolutely nothing of the non-existent story. When you reach the yacht part, it's only about the younger sister trying to get you with the rest of the family. That's it. You can just as well go into the game folder and create a playlist from the videos. You'll get almost the very same experience watching that, as you get playing this game.

Even the sex is unfulfilling. With the first time with Rachel being the sole exception, every sex scene feels like a Quicky! Like your Character lasts all of twenty seconds before he blows his load and is spend for the rest of the day. Stick it in without preparation, thrust ten times, Done! They never change positions during sex, it doesn't last long enough to warrant a change in camera angle, there isn't any foreplay, and there is barely any dirty talk (unless it's relevant to the plot). There aren't even any money shots. When the animation ends, you just get a still image showing them AFTER they came, or sometimes even after they got redressed. And despite everyone constantly telling you how this MC is a hormonal teenager, he can't get it up for hours after he got so much as a handjob.

And it doesn't help that this is one of those games that got around applying the "kinetic novel"-Tag on a technicality. There are, like, a dozen choices you get to make during the start of the game. After that, it's just one string of events, because, as I already mentioned, there is no story that could unfold, even if there WERE any choices. But maybe that's just how the dev chose to go about creating this game. Get the rendering out of the way, and THEN start implementing branches. Who knows.

Another game that should have a kinetic novel tag. At the beginning you have a few choices and you can even reject the first girl after that the game goes linear and you have no control over practically anything.
If you like games where you are forced to have sex with absolutely every girl you meet then play otherwise avoid, I got fooled.

Graphically there is nothing to complain about as far as the story goes it is terribly monotonous, more in the spoiler.


Boring, predictable forcing you to watch sex scenes with characters you want nothing to do with, I recommend avoiding it unless you like to "play" games where you are just there to click lpm.

While I'm a big fan of incest genre, this one was pretty middling for me. While some effort was put into fleshing out the relationship, it's not used in a way that would create any sort of tension or build up in the story, and pairing that with very short sex scenes with very limited amount of renders and animations(3-4 frames used at best, with blowjobs being only exception) , you don't get much payoff and fap value out of them. Maybe I've just been spoiled by better games, but hell, even "INSight of you" managed to create way hotter scenes out of stock HS1 assets ( like that sex marathon with redhead during first sandbox weekend).

Still, grammar and believable dialogues warrant some points, even though main plot is non-existent(it's in the description , and "struggles" are just some low stakes sneaking around), and main girl models are definitely beautiful and custom-looking.
Here's hoping dev would take the time to make some more sex scene stills , utilising those models, injecting some passion and sensuality into it.

Excellent story, where the "speed" is not too slow or too fast but "just right".

I also like that it's not the protagonist that's driven the plot forward, it's actually a female character.

Personally, I would prefer more choices in the game though.

Well. . . .
story is what you'd expect but also means you really can't go wrong.
Just don't expect to be surprised at innovative plot because we haven't seen it yet. The beginning of the game was the most innovative when it paired the two for the first time through that game.

Graphics and renders are nice. Most likely the bulk of the update.

Then the sex scenes are. . . .well. . .. short enough that one could say the mc is a 30 second wonder. But so are the LIs
As a caveat most scenes are creampies.
But . . . . .. .. .is it really a creampie when you don't get to admire your handiwork? (you don't see it all the time)

I'm going to give this both thumbs up, it has it all, great humour, decent graphics, yeah, the storyline is a little old, but the rest makes up for it, including dumb ass humans making dumb ass decisions, but at least they get to live with the outcomes - sorta

I agree with the general consensus vote of 3.5, which I round up to 4 because I think that the renders justify this.
There are strong points about this VN, the renders, of course, as other pointed out, but also the initial development of the story, which I agree that is not completely original, but I still liked a lot: the sexual tension between the MC and his sister that culminates in the camping scene is well built. I also appreciates that we get to see some action quite early in the story, that's a plus for me. However, lately the progression of the story has seemed to come to a halt, it's like the MC is revolving a little bit about himself and his well-established relationships instead of actually progressive.
Anyway, I follow the updates very fondly because I know that there is much potential and I do recommend to play this if the kinks (especially incest) are your deal.

Very nice game with remarkably good renders, some nice animations, gorgeous models (especially Lilly and Maya) and a charming story. Basically it's all about the slow corruption mostly of your female family members, but the pacing of this story is way better than usual since this time one of those girls is even kinkier than our MC.

And there is one more good thing about Guilty Pleasure: The developer is providing short but spicy updates on a regular basis. Very commendable.

I edited my original review due to the writing. The dialog hasn't been very good, especially from the MC. At times he's been coming off as an ass. Also the stuff with Maya has been getting annoying. I had hoped the sex scenes would improve but no. They're lewd but not what you can call sexy. recent updates have been disappointing. A shame.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me this isn't a bad one at all.

I like the look of the girls and the MC actually doesn't look like a douche.

One down side for me is the repeating of " It's not like we're making babies" or statements like that, it's a bit of a buzz kill. I wouldn't mind if the sex scenes were longer. Also doggie for Lilly's first time was an odd choice, most girls prefer more intimate.

It would have been nice if Maya had been optional, it's nice to be able to play through with the main girls first, then play through with side girls if you want after.

They were on the right track when Lilly became a little jealous of Maya, it would be natural as she just gave up her virginity but then they backtracked a bit later which was unfortunate.

Also it would be nice if the Devs pulled the MC's and Lilly's heads out of the asses and admit they have feelings more than fuck buddies. Let them have some romance and make them the power couple that pulls the other girls in.

It'll be interesting to see how this progresses, there is a lot of potential but also potential to disappoint. So far so good.

This game has some impressive models and animations which does put it up there in terms of ratings. The story is not special, complex or overly impressive in any sense of the word though, but its also not stupidly obvious that you playing an erotic VN that is hellbent churning out boring fap content. All in all its good and the developer has something here that they can do well with provided they keep with the vibe and trend.

My only gripe would be that updates are very small and short in terms of content, so much so that I would advise to maybe wait for a few versions to get a bit more out of this game.

I was quite suprised that I actually finished and enjoyed this story. Same premise as most but just different enough to hold my attention. The renders and animations were well done( a little short). This is one I will for sure keep an eye on.

Review v.0.20

Let's start with the good.
-the renders are good
-i really like the models of all the girls
Unfortunately, that's about all the good points I can think of.

Now to the bad
There isn't much of a story, the progression is way too fast, sex scenes are usually one animation and are very short.
The updates are frequent, but very short. Probably about an hour in total, maybe a bit more, depending on the reading speed.

The game started out relatively interesting with the party and all, but after that it gets worse.
Choices got thrown out of the window about halfway in the story, the MC get's dumber witch each update and pretty much thinks only with his dick at this point. I think the highlight in the most recent update was as the MC states: 'nah, she can get pregnant, she's taking a shower...

There isn't much in terms of character depth to any of the LI's, even less character development.
Also don't expect romance or some deeper relationiships, yes there was this choice early on, that you want more...but there really isn't anything in terms of relationship development, nor is there any tension etc. Just fucking or trying to make the next girl horny so she joins.
The others are all cool as they find out he's fucking his sister, because 'hey we're just fucking, not making babys'...

The MC doesn't even feel much like the MC at this point, he just goes along with everything and follows Lillys 'plans' as she wants him to go for the entire family. Why...yeah, because that brings them all closer together or maybe she wants some action with them, i don't know.

I gave the game five stars for the first time.
The animation and character descriptions in this game are excellent.
It's longer because of the branching storylines, but I think it's worth it.
It should be the best in many games of the same genre, at least for the time being.

Guilty pleasure is about right. This one slides down like a cheap ice cream. No real tension, it's a matter of when not if you'll collect 'em all. The funniest thing about it is how the mom and aunt just look the same age as the kids. Renders, script, all easy on the eye. It's pacy but not absurdly so, allowing the MC to smoothly transition from dweeb to chad. As noted elsewhere, the drawback is the brief and perfunctory h/scenes, which barely scratch the surface of the kink in the concept. But kick back and enjoy if family harems are your thing.

The game has some scenario and that's good. Not everything is immediately predictable. The girl models are pretty good, although not all of them are. There is no need to spin around and grind for a long time. There are not many dialogues. Almost one continuous action. I like everything so far. Mojats rating 5 stars. I am waiting for the continuation.

A decent looking game held back by some pretty pedestrian sex scenes.
Despite the conventional wisdom there are not a ton of good incest harem games and this one has the framework to be one of them but fails at the most important thing the sex scenes.
The models are nice looking and the renders and visuals over all are solid. The narrative while nothing great is average and it least make a passing attempt to deal with the implications of an incestuous relationship, these issues are pretty quickly left in the dust, but the attempt to even address them at all is a point in the game's favor.
The writing again is solid but not spectacular overall but comes up short when it comes to sex scenes.
The biggest failing of the game is that it's just not that sexy, the sex scenes are short and there isn't really much dirty talk or arousing text to go along with them. The Animations look to be canned, which wouldn't be a huge deal if more of an effort was made to make the sex scenes arousing.
Give it a shot if you like incest and harems, otherwise the sex scenes and narrative aren't enough to recommend it to people who aren't into those kinks

To be honest, this should be a solid 3.8-4.2 star game. The reason it has a lower score than that is because it doesn't fit some loud people's tastes and they give it a bad rating. The vast majority of people who do like it don't bother rating it.

I honestly really like what's been done, but speaking frankly the devs will never finish this game. If they do it'll take 5-6 more years. We're 2 years into development and there's like 40-ish minutes of game. I've played initial releases with more content (admittedly that's rare). Devs are just milking their followers with drip feed content. At least what they are releasing is good, though it feels like both quality and quantity has been declining with recent releases. I'm really conflicted how to rate this one, on one hand the content deserves a solid rating, on the other the devs don't.

I love this game so far. Secret fucking in the house is kind of nice turn on. And girls are really hot. I would love to get more of it. Thanks developer.

Story about the first fuck with Lilly was really really hot BTW

Guilty Pleasure (0.19 v) is a good game to fap to, not the best to get immersed in. The main reason being that the story goes way too fast for it to be believable, and though the characters have some personality and development, they end up all behaving as sluts rather easily. There aren't many choices to make and most of them didn't feel very impactful either. The good side of this is that there are very few scenes that don't matter or don't have something relevant to the story happening in them.

Render quality is really high as well, which is an important aspect to a game like this. Same goes for animations, even though sex scenes are usually rather short and have few animations those have very good quality. There are a couple songs but they do get a bit repetitive after a while. And, even though it's not a long game so far, I found no bugs in it.

So, all in all, a decent game worth the time if you're into good renders, animations and/or incest. And you can brush up under the rug how quickly everything happens. Also, as a small note, every update brings in very little content, so it usually is worthwhile to skip some of them.
