VN - Ren'Py - Guilty Pleasure [v0.48] [Quonix]

I have to say that this VN has surprised me very pleasantly.
While I have to agree with many reviews regarding it being around the typical wincest story (father not being present/dead, mom, 1 responsible sister, 1 bratty sister), I loved the fact that the story is not forced:

MC does not have a horse-sized or magical penis, he's not a ripped athlete nor it's a super-wealthy dude that gains girls by throwing money away.

It's a very regular - even nerdish - guy who has not much idea of how to approach girls, and he unexpectedly gains experience through the story events.

So it takes out easily 80% of the incest stories on this site.

Instead, the whole affair is caused by circumstances, and they actually try (unsuccessfully) to avoid it, until they finally give in and the whole incest story starts to develop.

While the characters do have a kind of a traditional incest VN schema temper, the way they gravitate until they get completely involved in the affair makes it different.

It is a really fun story to read, not too deep, not too shallow. With a lot of good jokes and hilarious situations, mixed with a good amount of lewd content.

There are just a couple of things that make me rate it at 4 stars instead of 5:

- Lewd scenes are indeed very short and have very few animations.
- While at the beginning it seemed options would have an impact, in reality, they don't, and that becomes evident as the story progresses. I would prefer it to just be a VN in this case, instead of asking for player options when in reality it won't matter in the big picture of the story.

Great visual novel. About the only criticism I have is that it's more of a story without many choices. I love how this doesn't devolve into what I call thought bombs where you read endless lines of thought text. This also has a lot of funny moments where I burst out laughing. All in all, a great story.

One of the best incest Ren'py games that I played!

I hope that we can receive new updates.
The story pace is good, credible enough, I real like the characters, the mother, two sisters, the “girlfriend” Maya. Maybe the weakest is the aunt.
The new girl, Maya’s history tutor, also seems interesting and can be a future path.

I would like to see again some of the girls that were in the tent party.

AVNs like "Guilty Pleasure" are frustrating, as there are elements that make them really excellent, but contain too many faults to achieve a score beyond 3 or 3.5 stars. While this game retraces the very familiar family-sex path we've seen in countless other games, "Guilty Pleasure" does take a novel approach, in that the MC does not begin the game wanting to nail his sisters and mother. Instead, circumstances and their natural beauty conspire, in increasingly fantastical ways, to throw them into the sack together.

The first scenario in the game to throw the MC and younger sister together was quite plausible, which I prefer. Unfortunately, the quality of the writing falls short. The game also fails the show-don't-tell test, especially in the early game. On the plus side, the character models are gorgeous and the art is decent. And while the games fails to realize the full potential of many of the scenarios presented, there is enough eroticism to keep my interest sustained. YMMV.

The beginning of the game had so much potential; It has some great models, especially the older sister, but the sex scenes are way too short and the dev has been using the same 4-5 default Daz animations over and over that I've seen a thousand times already. I forgive devs for using them in the early stages of their game, but after 3 years, I'm going to be more critical: You aren't improving or changing anything, and that strikes me as odd because it tells me you are completely fine with your work and have zero desire to improve. This has got to be the first game on f95zone that I've ever played where the dev didn't make even a single improvement or experiment with anything over the course of the game.

You should either put more effort into the sex scenes text-wise or be more creative while making animations. There is barely any story here and it has gone absolutely nowhere in three years of development, so I can't see this as anything other than a porn game and it fails in that department. Really good-looking character models are the norm at this point so I don't give it any extra points for that. All I see when I play this is bare-minimum effort.

The dev also having zero idea what an "act" is really grinds my gears. The word you're looking for is "scene".

The game open with a normal story with the MC being closer to one sister than the other. Been a while since I played the early game, but the choices were present, then later became a kinetic novel around the time when the MC got closer to the younger sister.

One of the choices I remember making were choosing 1 of 3 girls of your type that I thought would have an impact to the story, but nah. The story became more stale during the auntie's yacht as it was predictable and generic from then on. The schoolmates that were introduced in the early game were all forgotten and MC focused on increasing his incest harem.

The dialogue was comprehensible, but became unbearable and cringe as they're trying to become smooth flirting back and forth each other and be clever with comebacks like a "that's what she said" joke after every sentence. You then realize that everyone has the same personality because of the sentence structure.

It'a kinetic novel. Would have been nice to know that before going in.
The game is just an incest fuck fest. And you don't have a choice of whether you want to fuck them.
You get a few, meaningless, choices in the beginning and that's it.
I like the renders, they are beautiful.
If you are into blowjobs and have an incest fetish then I would recommend this game.

Five Pump Chump SImulator (with awesome graphics)

This review is of Guilty Pleasure V0.25 - andI really, genuinely hope it will not remain reflective of the game in future versions.


There's a lot to like about this Kinetic Novel, although obviously 'gameplay' isn't one of them, and that needs to be understood immediately. This is largely a kinetic novel, with a very few decision points that may or may not lead to significantly branching scenes or plotlines (leaning towards the unlikely to make much plot difference).

The plot isn't bad, what there is of it. It isn't wall-to-wall tropes of "Oh my sister saw my dick and now can only think of having sex", and indeed the mother fully resists a couple of exposures without an instant crisis over all her life choices. That's always a good sign.

However, there also isn't any real underlying narrative or plot direction to this story other than that we know it is building toward a harem that the MC doesn't actually start off wanting or considering. It feels a little directionless, and lacking any underlying story arc or hero's journey.

The models for all of the significant characters are fairly attractive, and certainly all the major female characters are attractive and well-chosen. There's a pretty good diversity of body types, which is always very welcome in a genre where certain boys who were never breastfed and never got past the trauma tend to insert unfeasibly (often impossibly) large breasts into every game and every character.

It is also nice to see that tokenism hasn't (yet) crept into the game, where it feels like every dev is checking off boxes for 'goth girl with tats and piercings' whether or not there's actually a backstory for such character choices. However, there's a definite lack of racial diversity - which is quite realistic for any small-town settings, but still maybe should be corrected - though obviously without the 'token chinese/korean girl' and the 'token black family', etc. The backdrop we see from the home windows shows a pretty significant looking city in the background after all.

The renders certainly have some flaws, for one example there's a scene where the MC's shoe has sunk through the decking in the back yard very noticeably, but they are certainly serviceable and good enough.

There's a lot of animation, and several of the animation loops are truly great, meaning that this could have had some of the best sex scenes... However this is where the games biggest annoyance comes in. The sex scenes are absolutely terrible. This is a five-pump-chump simulator, and that's being generous. In several scenes the girl no sooner gets her mouth on the MC's member than he's already cum and done.

This guy is so extremely premature that I think his ejaculations may be from the next day's scene. Most scenes are a few seconds in a single pose, and the use of animation in such a case only serves to magnify how this makes him seem like the world's absolute worst lay, ever.

Don't expect the MC to give a girl an orgasm with his fingers or mouth before giving her another couple in coitus before letting rip himself. No, this MC rarely bothers with foreplay at all, and doesn't have time for more than one position in most cases before, in literally about 5 total pumps, shooting his load. Sometimes he'll have 2 positions, and manage 4 strokes in each, but never once does he manage to let a girl have multiple orgasms, or even any realistic time to reach even one.

In a sexual game/novel, especially one where getting laid appears to be the ONLY plot or story, being absolutely terrible at sex, and every scene being a huge anti-climactic disappointment, is kind of a deal breaker. No matter how good the animation loop or the models, etc.

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.
