Ren'Py - Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

This game has already a lot of content. Lot of girls with different clothes. Based on points to earn to trigger sexual content. You just need to organise your day with all the girls you want to interact with.
You have to try this one and support the OP that is giving his game for free on patreon!

Game's been around since 2017, but there is way too many obvious placeholders. It's like the dev took advice from Solvalley School, and focused on quantity rather than quality. Story is pretty nonexistent, and like so many other games, are a clickfest, trying to grind stats and waiting for things to happen.

Very boring without using cheats or mods, but even when you do, sex is nonexistent. I've been pining after Natasha, and have not seen a single sex scene from her. Amy's the easiest and the most likeliest girl you'd even see a sex scene from. This can't really even be called a porn game with the lack of sex available, even after accessing cheats.

PROS

One of the best fap games of the 50 or so I've played on this site. Lots of good looking character model girls to choose from, and an absolute ton of content already in the game (can have full sex with roughly half of them, and some with multiple different full scene encounters). Includes one but notably good (in most cases) and fluid animation with every one too.

It's your standard characters move to different areas of the map setting, with you progressing time in 30 min intervals, but manages to keep it all simple enough that it never really felt that tedious in the 3 days I spent happily clearing the content in random sit downs. Stat grind was of course present as well, although that again was a lot less tedious then other games imo (granted I did cheat my own stat grind with the mod in the first post, but without ever touching the girls' stats that maxed quick enough).

Outside a few select instances you might find yourself posting for a tip, and given the help guide already found on the phone...there really isn't a need for a walkthrough (that is coming from a guy who almost always uses one as well btw). Or at least in terms of needing to follow some step by step instruction manual every step of the way just to progress anything. For the most part you can just wonder around and either figure things out easily enough, or eventually just stumble across it without too much "have to meet these exact requirements" effort.

CONS

Not much of a story to the game, besides a fairly weak attempt to throw some in some character backround info lines in the exclusive barrage of "I want you so bad" compliments the girls shower on you from the start. Definitely no feeling of a challenge or chase here with any of the girls so to speak, much less ever a surrounding feeling of potential failure. That said...the writing is in solid english at least.

Definitely an excessive big boob niche game, which while not a bad thing imo could have been toned down a tad across the board and still come across as fantastic. The "small" breasted girls would of been the more preferable "medium" approach here and offered a less cartoon'y type game feel.

As stated above, I used the mod and still found myself sinking a ton of time into this game. Fairly enjoyable time at that. So in this particular case and game...throwing in the typical player stat grind just to add an extra layer of time sink came across as unnecessary on the development end.

One of the best sex games I've played so far. The characters and their models are amazing, various scenarios are great and there is a lot of customisation with different outfits and multiple ways to seduce the girls.

review at v0.1.2.0

Great game that its worth spending time at. Simple story (you are one lucky guy who is getting a free vacation at a island with hot models) and simple gamestyle (kindof like a date sim you raise your affection and love with each girl you want and the bigger their stats they become naughtier with you).

The models are great on quality, the menus are easy to go around, the scenes are very sexy and you progress fast when you learn how the game is played. More pros is that the game creator is active and updates the game often. Bugs are very rare and more scenes are always added.

There are many girls and have different personalities and looks so you will easily find a fav or two. Their actions are also believable and this game does'nt have scenes or stuff that dont make sense like the mc going rapey or the girls not react to rude actions like normal.

My only cons are that most of the girls have boobs too big for their body figures (dont get me wrong I love big boobs but some angles make them look kindof weird and very unreal) and some girls have almost none scenes other than the basic ones (like strip poker) and they become useless to have around because they have no new interactions after you talk to them a few times.

Other than those the game is very vanilla and wont make you feel bad which is a change when so many games have a rapey protagonist who pervs at his family with non consent (not shaming those games but there are just lots of them).

Recommended, even more if you love big boobs and a game you can fap to

awesome artwork and smooth gameplay, great cast of characters and smooth build up.
Definitely my favourite game, really outstanding 3d art, I love the face close ups in the beach walks.
The game concept is also a refreshing break from some of the darker tropes

A game with a pretty simple premise, containing lots of well produced CG and nice mechanics. Some minigames (i.e. poker) are breaks in the fun, however this doesn't affect the game at all.

Pros:
- Well produced CG
- Lots of girls
- Lots of events

Cons:
- Most CG appears compressed
- Some girls have practically zero content, whereas others have reams of CG's and events

Overall it's a strong game with a lot of promise, and well worth a look.

Really enjoying the overall game and the various girls. Although admittedly not a fan of huge breasts, the enjoyment I get from the rest of the game makes them bearable even if at times they just look too unreal.

There is so much content in this damn game. 2 hours in and I'm still getting unique moments that I haven't experienced yet. It's not a game filed with a wide variety of kinks but there are a wide variety of personalities. Would 100% recommend a playthrough.

Vanilla but excellently so, not everything needs to be fetish upon fetish and this game is one of the only high quality and regularly updated games that doesn't go out of its way to be 'taboo' for the patreon bucks.

IDK...the renderings are great, and there are many characters and I love a build up in a game, but this is a little too redundant for my tastes.

On the "scoring" system, I build up maximum lust, affection and love with some of the earlier characters, (Brenda, Jennifer, Renee, Jessica, etc.) but then the game hits a stone wall. So far I've only come up with sex scenes with Alice and Joy, with a little playing with the others.

With games like Man of the House and My Cute Cousin, there was the same build up and repetition, but...you knew there was something in the end. You can only hug and kiss someone so many times without taking it further.

But this is just me. Many others like this game, I just can't keep doing the same thing over and over.

Holiday Island is a great game with ever expanding content, constant feedback from developer, artwork is very nice to look at, frequent updates, a bit grindy but good in game hint system. Really looking forward to the future development of the game

Well put together game with lot's of contents and great art work. Unique story, which leads to curiosity about a possible hidden agenda.
Few bugs, but appears an active Developer who cares for his project. Needs a few game tweaks here and there.
Overall good gaming experience, only missing sound to be a masterpiece!

[as of 0.0.9.3] Continues to be the most fap-able game I've seen in a long time. Grind has purpose that is viewable\"tangable". Still requires user to cheat to NOT be overwhelmed by grind (tons of blue pills, gifts . Player Stat cheats are just a given Don't recommend cheating girl stats) If I were to play by the rules, I think the grind would really aggravate me and either cause me to berate the dev for artificially adding grind as a way of adding hrs/gameplay to the resume or just his vision & mine not clicking on what a post 50yo asshole that's in his 3rd decade of playing porn games considers grind. (I've played every Eushully title=Grind King)
Having said that, and gotten it out of the way, I love the variety and quality of the models. Several feel really fleshed out and "human" . Yvette reminds me of my ex, a 4'11" Cubana with 38 double D's gifted by genetics, not a Dr..(she was also gifted by gravity, something I notice is non-existent here, but that's a dev call.
(idk if breast gravity would even effect a still unless the poser let's you frame by frame a sex act. me=not knowledgeable on Posers that come with every Illusion title or 3daz, I do gameplay)
I love the hints at the larger plot you get with the Joy content. One critique, so far, beginning choices don't seem to be as crisp as should be. Granted, your choices are only reflected by the starting staff, (I think). Read the boob controversy posts, & agree with both sides. Dev's gonna do what he finds attractive/more lucrative/just cuz it's his/her's shit & you get on board or you find another game. You want input the dev is gonna listen to? make it worth his time on Patreon & don't whine on a free forum where you get free games & expect anyone to see you as other than whining & never take you seriously.
Con's: game has no real replayabilty once you get all the cell phone pics. Best to wait for every OTHER (or more) update to not play the game into the dirt & get bored. Having Amy on the island creates a glut of Random Amy Enconters when you're trying to get other girl's rando's.
Pro's: too many to mention, but ability to assigm Amy to time sensitive jobs so she doesn't glut the random encounter list is OK, the Ivy BJ scene is worth the price of admission. Just too funny. Keep up the good work Darkhound1

Hot storyline, game play keeps me interested. The choice to select body type preferences should be standard in every adult game. 3D model renders are very sexy. IMO only thing missing is big booty models for guys like me who like big asses!

FINALLY a groundbreaking "normal" game for the rest of us! A solid and simple story concept that revolves around gorgeous women with big tits. Thanks Darkhound1 (and team?) for creating one of the best adult games around with stellar design and art and thanks for keeping it free. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

The game is incredible and has beautiful women, the game has good graphics and design, I really like to play and I look forward to the next updates and news!
Congratulations to the creator for a game with an easy, dynamic and great interface, except that the creator is very attentive to all forum members, responding when there are doubts or bug reports.
if it could, it would give more than 1 million stars.

Holiday Island is a well designed, frequent updates, high quality game. Gameplay is actually fun, with a few minigames and spontaneous events that break up monotony. Almost like pokemon with bikini models. The developer is also very responsive to patrons of the game, and designs characters according to fan request.

There are a few bugs, but they are fixed pretty quickly. The poker game isn't super compelling more than a couple of times, but it's not too bad doing it once per character to unlock the poses. The only other disappointing thing is that although there was recently a great addition to the game in the form of a gallery for unlocked images, you can't repeat events on demand after they've been unlocked. All in all a great game, I recommend it highly.

I played the strip poker with the bartender girl but I can't seem move past her removing her tie. That is just a little issue I have with the games, sometime the bugs just make the game feel repetitive to play and a bit troublesome to progress. Would love to see the developer provide more scenes and scenarios such as BDSM, threesome, orgies etc. The game has really good foundation in its gameplay and varieties of girls ( the MC is the only guy in the game) that provided a lot of fun and exploration. The events are random but some scenes can tricky to proc and require certain objects or actions which can be confusing for new players without any guidance. I would love to see more beginner friendly improvements for smoother gameplay to make the game more enjoyable to more people.

Overall, solid 4 stars for good gameplay mechanics, variety of girls and enjoyable events and randomness. Left out 1 star due to lack of interesting plot or scenarios and require quite a lot of grind without using cheats.
