About the Developer and the Game's Development
LactoseQuest is a new NTR-focused developer, labelling themselves as "An independent game producer specializing in cuckolding NTR" who " particularly loves creating events and CGs related to hidden affairs, where secret relationships unfold". Announced at the start of May 2024 and with a demo release at the start of Oct. that was available here, LactoseQuest took on a very ambitious project for their first game. Working tirelessly for a Christmas release (with only 1 delay to Jan.), the game massively adds upon the demo with a fully completed storyline, a wide array of events, and multiple POVs for some of them, which makes it incredibly impressive that it was released in a complete state in 3 different languages (not MTL), only 3-4 months after the demo. That in itself merits support in a sea of slowly-updated subscriber-backed games, as this dev did not offer any subscriber options and just worked on it with sheer fucking NTR will and degeneracy.
*Spoilers Ahead*
About the Game
The game wastes no time in establishing the post-apocalyptic zombie setting and your current situation. You and your hot busty wife find yourselves at the beginning stages of a safe haven. You must make yourselves useful to the recovery effort by going on exploration (story) and collection (side) quests to help rebuild. Lucky for you, your neighbour is here to help as he is tasked to accompany you and your sexy wife. Did I mention your wife is hot and sexy?
Just like the start, the NTR and corruption wastes no time and you'll find yourself right in the thick of silhouette sex and suspicious sounds coming from close-by., all the while you, the MC, doesn't suspect a thing. Don't expect a slow burn of relationship building here. She is your wife and your neighbour wants to bang her. The initial path to corruption is believable. It uses the zombie setting well to provide reasons as to why the FMC does what she does, before quickly getting addicted to your neighbour's magnum dong. Soon your prestige in the community has your squad tied up in political secrets to do with the origin of the outbreak, with the escape from this doomed safe haven being paramount for your survival.
The Story - 3/5
Yes there's a story here but it is just a means to an end, which is all it needs to be and no one should really care. It feels unimportant and the stakes do not feel very high. There are some twists and turns and back and forth, and there are no real branching storyline paths or decisions. What the story is is a reason to explore different areas and infiltrate buildings, forcing sneaky or split-up situations.
Gameplay Mechanics - 2/5
Combat
Extremely basic RPGM. No special skills, no MP, no SP. Just hit zombie until dead. Feels sluggish, but fights aren't too long. There's just really no point to them really except some boss fights which is gatekeeping behind some grind and only one H battle scene which I think is implemented strangely.
Puzzles
There's only 1 of those push the boulder type puzzles which might catch a few people off because the background is kinda blending in so you don't know it could actually move there. Other 'puzzles' are just find your way to the switch.
Exploration
There are multiple map/biomes you will 'explore', and some of them will have vendor buildings. The maps are not overly big, but most of these buildings are useless. There was even one that had no content at all - perhaps descoped. The game's length and RPG depth does not warrant any real purpose for armor/weapon/gun shops. All the important buildings are in the first area where events can occur with FMC, the rest are useless. Perhaps the only game I know of that has a slum area that doesn't include any real slum events!
RPG Elements
No levelling or skill trees. Basic gear and inventory. 3 Resources - HP, FP, SAN. Lose HP by getting hit, gain by sleeping or using medkits. Lose FP (food points) by going to the next time period, gain by eating food from your inventory. Lose SAN by encountering zombies, gain by drinking alcohol or smoking ciggies from your inventory. FP and SAN are only present to include a very shallow and unnecessary roleplaying element. It doesn't affect anything else and if you forget and let something hit 0 you go straight back to the home menu. I only ever got remotely close on SAN once and you never have to worry about it again.
Balance & Pacing
The grind is relatively minimal and does not play a huge impact on the pacing. There are repeatable quests to gather food and money. There are ways offered to make easier money. FP doesn't go down too fast so food never felt too much of a problem. However there are a few boss fights in the game which feel like a stat check, and this is a problem because you don't KNOW if you've lifted enough weights to beat the boss as there's no visible HP bar, and if you lose you have to start all the way back at the beginning of that event. It all just feels quite unnecessary. Do yourself a favour and start with an edited save, or edit your own save to max ATK and money. You're not missing out on anything (except maybe the 1 H battle scene seeing how it's implemented).
The H scenes are spaced out nicely and there are plenty of them. However, there is a randomness to some of them which could skew their distribution. In fact, I think I got a random sex scene before the first main story canon sex scene by chance. Bar scenes you can straight up deny from happening, and AV scenes you could either not partake in, can't afford, or just completely missed the method of unlocking them. These factors can change the pacing of your scene distribution. You might find that in the middle of the story the H scenes become scarce until the final act.
Art - 4/5
FMC
Raw. Next question.
H Scenes CG
The H scenes are drawn in a relatively consistent style and quality. Some are definitely more polished than others. Only a few looked a little bit off. The most lacking aspect is the backgrounds of many scenes which are very basic and non-detailed, especially the recordings. Another gripe is that the cum in some CGs just didn't really look thick enough. Other than that a great variety of unique CGs and positions. Extremely minimal reused CGs.
Animation
There are only a few H scenes in the game that feature basic animation, which is a shame because the sound is good and 2 or 3 more frames in each scene would add a lot to the experience.
Audio - 5/5
*FMC Netorare Sounds*
One of the best things about the game hands down is the audio of the scenes. The game features some proximity based sounds on the overworld, as well as over the phone implied cheating sounds. The FMC's voice during each scene and the sounds of PLAP PLAP PLAP and SLURP are sublime.
Music
There is some nice unique music spread out, and it avoids the usual RPGM suspects that trigger your Pavlovian response. Sometimes it does cut-out a bit jarringly though. There's this one track that plays rarely and it has this tragic/sinister tone to it that I find fucking hilarious, like hearing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a porno.
The Netorare - 5/5
Most of everything I've rambled on about pales in comparison to the game's essence - the NTR! Specifically clueless cuckold NTR, no sharing here! The bull with the biggus dickus is going to cum on and in your wife every such opportunity he gets. And worst of all, I mean best of all, he's going to do it right in front of you! This is my favourite form of NTR and it is done to a very high standard. All the scenarios are hot because you are fucking stupid and don't notice the cum on her mouth, on her shirt, or dripping down her thighs after sus occurrences and you don't question the implicative pictures he sends you. Really makes you say "Really? Right in front of me? The audacity!"
The Pure-Love Route
I haven't played it and don't care to. But what I see from the recollection room is literally 1 H scene and an ending cutscene so...
Overall Enjoyment and Final Rating - 5/5
I am unashamedly biased towards this specific genre of NTR and this is my favourite game within this space, which is a small space so that's why I'm supporting the dev to continue adding content to this game, hone his craft, and make more NTR-in-your-face goodness! The dev confirms they plan on releasing a free DLC in the future including an additional ending, extra supplements to events and CGs, and more pure-love CGs. After that they've announced they want to do 2 more projects this year. Undoubtedly there are drawbacks in this first project and missed potential, but what's here as a complete release is good and what's missing can be added in the future.
All in all, if you're into Cuck POV and Hidden NTR, then in my opinion there's no better game.
