Ren'Py - Indecent Desires - The Game [v0.29] [Vilelab]

There are several things that are confusing and unexplained… (sudden changes in appearances, characters, double-clicks that don’t make sense to unlock scenes, parts of the storyline that are unclear in terms of relationships, etc.). So there’s definitely room for improvement in the narrative, and if you want to avoid constantly clicking on hints, well… it’s quite tedious. What I liked the least is that a single choice could make you miss an entire story branch, with no way to go back… the train scene, for example. This leads to another problem that bothered me: after a while, you’re so afraid of missing a scene that you feel forced to make choices that are cruel or manipulative just to secure a scene… especially since, a route later, the roles between the characters reverse. You click without really knowing what the consequences will be.


On the other hand, it’s the kind of sandbox I love. It’s well done (well, except for the part where hours are desperately missing in the late game). But the navigation, the many locations, and the fact that multiple things happen at the same time is very well done—you really feel free to do them in any order. It’s a shame because it’s very well made, with good gameplay, but our actions don’t mean much… many areas are unclear in their intentions.


I really enjoyed the seduction aspect, progressing slowly with “certain” girls, the main ones, and that it’s not immediate or crude sex after three dialogues. The gradual development of sexual relationships is genuinely satisfying, exactly what I expect in every game. You can always find two or three girls if there’s an urgent need, but if you follow the story, at least it’s believable. The cast is very good; the girls are almost all beautiful (a shame about the trans aspect…), and there are many of them, so there’s real diversity and real fulfillment of needs.


There’s a lot of quality in this game. There are truly great and well-thought-out things—the shots are good, the scenes are too—but there are three or four points that get lost because of certain developer choices, which, well, take away stars. If I had known it fully, I would probably have given it 5 stars, but there’s also the 2018 feel, and the game is not finished…

The game has some pretty good looking renders. The story is quite well written too...

The sandbox is probably the worst i've ever seen, i cannot recommend playing this game, what a giant waste of time.

All I can say about this game is that it's pretty trash, no, but it's absolutely trash. It's buggy, laggy, and still needs a lot of polishing, especially in terms of performance, a more helpful hint system, and navigation. There's so much that needs to be addressed overall before release.

It's a shame that the rendering is quite good, but the overall game is so bad.

I don't understand about other low ratings about this game. I think this game is very excellent, at least by myself. All characters look so beautiful and gameplay is very curious. It takes me to the high lust and free sandbox.

Game is broken, meeting all aspect to buy gun, can't.

Game is typical sandbox style. Not my favorite, but could be alright if plot fit.

Futa/Tans is not skippable it appears with Chloe if you don't have a gun? yeah I'm out I hate forced trans content. Skippable trans is fine but not cool with forced

don't agree to be a man slut or you're just gonna be service nasty old grannies.

If I could progress in game I would give it 2 stars but its really not worth anyone's time tight now and it appears I am not the only one

I feel like it has a lot of great content,the girls are hot and even the MC is nice to look at,but the developers has some weird priorities like instead of finishing the main story first and then add more content with time they waste a lot of precious time with minor storylines,a lot of characters that are build up in the beginning haven't received any content in years like Elizabeth or Karina,still it's not a bad game,and if you are a femdom fan like myself you will probably enjoy it!

Disappointed. I mean you put all this effort into renders. Wow a decent sandbox game. But have more errors than a Bethesda game. I mean it’s not like you are actually creating a game, with tons of code. At this point why even try? Plus, where is the NTR!? I mean if you make a tag then you need to actually have that fetish in the game. Idk it’s just so buggy.

This game breaks everytime i try to follow the hints.
Monique Render is good.
story is just ok .Story could have been improved.
Thought trevor would have more involvement with the sister but thats not the case i guess. Hope to see him with Monique.

Fantastic game! Why didn't I find it earlier...The girls are hot, the story is captivating and decisions have consequences, that's the best of it.
Trying to blackmail the girls and get outsmarted by them. Brilliant! Love it!
Played trough it and didn't encounter any bugs. According to the walkthrough, which was sometimes needed, I guess I've seen most of the content but it's really worth it to try other paths as well.
My only critics would be, that a lot of scenes are recycled and that without walktrough it's sometimes quite hard to guess what to do next.
The sandbox gives a great freedom and I never experienced a time frame, where there was nothing to do, on the contrary: it was sometimes hard to decide what alternative to choose.
The girls have a unique personality which grows and/or changes according to your decisions.
Despite my little criticism I would give the game 6 stars as it's one of the best here - and I've played a lot.
And it's also one of the very few I will play again, certainly more often than once.

Okay look, I'm not calling this game a masterpiece, or that the UI is intuitive, or that the story is really all that coherent, but the renders are good. Saying anything else is kinda BS. Yes some repeat. Yes some situations are copy and pasted with new girls. They are however good. Also dude over the course of almost 7 years has put up a lot of fetish content. Wanna be a prostitute for old women? Boom got it. Wanna be a gay prostitute? Boom got it. Want to be a grapist? Boom. Romance the women in your house? Boom. Get into a pure blackmail relationship with the landlady? Boom. Bang a tranny? Boom. Have the tranny bang you? Boom.

And he does us the service of completely ignoring the black bull troupe.

Does all of this excuse the lack of story updates? No. The worst hint system imaginable? No. The completely unneeded sandbox? No. BUUUUUUUUUUT he's still releasing content. Like an ADHD ridden perverted little engine that could. I've also seen two update abandoned games get nothing but 5s. Tenacity alone gets him a 1, the diversity of kinks gets a 1 and the renders deserves a 2. I think he should start something new and try to make it cohesive but ehhhhh.

It's not a bad game, It just lacks future perspective. ATM you have a couple of sex scenes, a lot of masturbation, and a lot of sissification towards the MC.
I'm looking forward to see how this evolve

The scenes are good. Yes it is buggy and a hassle to proceed with the quest lines, but a better hint system would solve all of this. It is diverse and can give you the option to go dom/sub which not many games do very well, and the diversity is there in terms of fetishes and options, I do not see this as a bad game at all, needs a few optimizations but definitely doesn't deserve a 2 star rating.
Some people aren't judging this fairly.

Simple rating system, - 1 star for each of the 5 categories (plus a bonus category). I round up in each category, so as long as the category leans hard towards positive, despite what I felt was lacking, then the category gets a full star.

Version .26a
Story: There isn't much of a story, it's just a typical sandbox with tasks that advance traits (love, lust...etc.) with the characters in the hope the MC gets some action. The problem is most of the potential love interests don't want anything to do with the MC. The MC struggles with most of the expressionless characters, they walk all over him. Nothing within this game is engaging, it's just point and click whack-a-mole.

Character Development: Attractive models but most of the characters are bitchy and/or bratty... it feels soulless.

Writing: Lots of grammar errors and weird phrasing, the writing is a mess.

Render Quality: Again, typical sandbox with minimal renders that get recycled.

Immersion: Without a story there's no immersion. It's just paint by numbers and trying to follow the walkthrough without fail... too mechanical.

Navigation: There isn't a lot of locations so getting lost isn't an issue. The biggest problem is navigation within the MC's house. Many times I'd get to a room within the house at a specified time and the event wouldn't trigger. I'd back out, go somewhere else, then return at the same time and it would trigger. I was only able to get approx. 2 hours into the game before I got stuck. Trying to trigger a specific event would eject me to the main menu. I gave up and started a new game and the same thing happened with a different event about an hour into the game. Navigation in this game is a nightmare, so I happily quit.

Final Note: I spent most of my time searching the game thread trying to find workarounds to make progress... not fun.

Some great femdom moments,and interesting stories about blackmail,the female characters are really hot,renders and animation are really well made a lot of different fetiches and each update leaves you wanting more

(Review of 0.26 alpha)

I'm afraid visuals is the only positive here, and even then the composition of the scenes could be improved. The camera angles aren't the best and the characters look in random directions. They feel like bots pasted on a background, or bad actors saying whatever comes to mind because they forgot their lines. Detached from whatever you say, careless. The first conversation with your aunt is an example of these problems. As soon as your older cousin opens her mouth I want to leave the place and forget about the game entirely: since they don't care for me and I don't give a fuck about yet another brat either.

The story is so incoherent that by the time the barman at the beach left for his errand (about 15 mins of real time spent playing from the beginning) I decided I had enough. I mean, first I decide to listen to him ramble about aunt and the cousins, then the MC decides he won't tolerate him badmouthing them and then he thinks he wouldn't mind doing him a favor and become friends? Is the MC bipolar or WTF is going on?

Renders are scarce and plenty of dialogue and endless thinking go on while looking at the same static and uninteresting scene. Storytelling is truly bad, within minutes from the start the MC sounds and thinks as a potential rapist, living only to perv on any female nearby. No character introduced upto the aforementioned beach scene is believable or likable (for example, aunt's thoughts ruin the character for me right from the start) so I really have zero interest into what happens next. I sincerely suggest to abandon the project and start from scratch because nothing here is done right.

It's a game that ultimately fails at everything except for doling out gratuitous sex scenes. While that usually wouldn't be a problem would be more than welcome at this point since I've grown tired of devs who try to write above their skill level and end up writing some melodramatic shit, the downsides just keep adding up to the point where I can't give this a higher rating.

My advice is to just grab the gallery mod and look at the scenes. There's too much crap to try and sift out anything good. Just to be clear, I'm saying the gallery MOD since the in-game gallery is useless and I'm not even sure what purpose it serves. There's effectively no built-in gallery for replaying scenes.

Bugs
- Missing image errors
- "Phone" not being defined
- "Navigation" makes it feel like the game is going to crash sometimes so I don't bother using it.

Sandbox elements
- Only way I found to advance time is to take a nap in the bed.
- A lot of clicking which the "Navigation" would solve if it wasn't buggy.

Grammar/Spelling
- A lot of "WTF"s, statements that are punctuated with question marks, questions that are punctuated with periods
- Misspellings
- Like, damn dude. Writing a game for an English-speaking audience for this long and still no improvement. Why?

Misc.
- Weird game design where you can just get an automatic "Game Over" and get booted to the main screen. Thanks. Thanks for that. Now I'm going to be filling up my save slots even more with a game that already requires a lot of save slots (to keep track of the unknown amount of variations) out of paranoia that I'm going to accidentally choose something that's a "Game Over".
- I'm told to earn money by playing mini-games but 2 out of 3 are WIP and the 1 only allows you to bet 20 dollars at a time. I usually wouldn't cheat for money but that's just asking you to do so.

Paths/Branches and Scene variations are vague
- It's like trying to navigate in a pitch-black maze with a flashlight that only lights up one square at a time.
- Choices and quests/tasks are unclear on what path you're on until way later and you'll have to start all over again.
- It seems like other quests aren't just blocked off automatically once you're on a path which makes it even more confusing.
- Quests for different characters are also not in the "Hints" until you randomly decide to try and talk to a character at a time and place you previously thought was a dead-end.
- Seemingly innocuous choices in a scene can lead to wildly varying results
- Stats don't seem to serve a purpose other than for the different variations in a scene but you have no way of knowing which combination of all 6 stats are needed without the walkthrough.
- There's just no real feedback to help the player understand the cause-and-effect from choices. Until, again way later and by then it's too late to go back.

Walkthrough
- The official walkthrough is also a joke and seems like the dev even halfasses that at some point. "Multiple outcomes from choices. Play as you like."
- It also just reads like a changelog rather than any guide for the different paths and unknown variations for scenes.

Cherry on top
- This game's been in development for 6 years. All that time and no noticeable improvement from the dev other than maybe the render quality. That's pretty crazy.
- Think about it. No personal growth shown after all that experience other than I guess the dev has a better rig now for renders.

This game had nothing to offer just horrible renders and no animations at all, girls are ugly, plot is really basic and corruption is unrealistic, playing tetris is way more enjoyable than this game. I dont even understand the people who are giving this any higher rating than 1 star

I was counting with this game being mediocre due to reviews... but it is well below that. The story and writing quickly lost all interest to me, as did the characters. Most choices at the begining stages (I quit pretty soon tbh) don't matter at all, either you chose whatever you want and it goes on, or you choose the wrong one and game ends.

Render quality is pretty bad in many cases, there is a clear lack of animations in the early game and character models are pretty generic and bad. I turned of the music as I usually do, so can't judge that, but other than that no sound seemed to be present. At least, no bugs were found in my brief time playing it, which I guess is nice.

So, all in all, a quick abandon for me, and you would probably do well and skip it.

God damn I hate sandbox, some are ok but this game is one of the worst. Hot characters, but I'm at a point where I need to borrow Kate's car, so where TF is she?!? Do I need to refer to a walkthrough, because if I do the dev has failed miserably after over 5 years in development.
What a waste of my fkn time.

v0.24: 51% rating (the number consists of an average of outliers at both extremes; good and bad)
-----
this game is in alpha state. Quite a few events are already implemented. However, the whole thing doesn't quite fit together. The hint system is well done and a great help if you get stuck. Unfortunately, the many existing dates with different LIs are almost identical. I assume that this serves as a placeholder for the time being before it is supplemented with real content at some point.

The game is partly a walking simulator. Many repetitive footpaths have to be completed manually. This can be exhausting in the long run, but increases immersion. However, places with many locations have a shortcut option.

The game has its heart in the right place, the direction is recognizable, but it is not yet clear whether it will be a crash landing or a hyper-sonic flight.

One of the first quests requires you to get a weapon ... I'm curious to see how long the game will provide me with events before I dare to take care of something like that.
