Ren'Py - Infinity: Love or Lust [R16] [CreaSou]

*Played on the lust route*

Fun game, not for everyone as the time loop means you'll be getting a lot of repeated dialogue, but it's easy enough to skip through. The amount of buildup/payoff to the scenes is just right, and the progression doesn't ever feel grindy.

If you're looking for a slow burn game this definitely won't be for you, but it's a great corruption game that doesn't take forever to get into the meat of things and sets up nicely as well for future corruption of the main girl.

Story 2/5
Theres just not much story and whats there is bland and dialogs are just meh, so dont expect to have a great love or lust story, things moves very fast theres not much of a build up really which is proberly better since there is alot of repeat dialogs and doing same things over and over.

Alot of people know groundhog day but this is not really anything like that, sure you live the same day over and over but money keeps growing, stuff you buy stays with you from day to day and what makes it really weird is how love or lust points grows day by day as well and the feelings from the daughter is carried over as well so you can start the day with BJs and such.

So the "plot" of reliving the same day is a fail so it feels more like each day is just a normal next day in many ways.
Personaly i think it would have been more fun if you had to start over but got to try diffrent ways to end up fucking the daughter or even have the option to simply just rape her since theres no consequences of your actions when it resets every day and i think it could have been alot more fun if you had alot of choices to pick from and had to find the right route and the choice to go crazy.

Girl(s) 4/5
Well theres only really the daughter and some optional NTR stuff that i passed on, the girl at the new work place dident seem to have any content, but atleast the daughter looks great with a sexy build, so shes really the only one i can rate.

Animation 1/5
I know the game dosent have the tag but there are like 2 animated scenes which are great and everything else is picture to picture movements, so theres nothing to come for here if your into animated scenes.

Music 0/5
Silent game which dosent make the game any better.

Not sure how this got such a high rateing, just the lack of story, sound and animations should be more then enough to never give it 5 stars or its not really fair to games that has it all, i guess alot of people just trows out 5 stars on nothing making reviews useless instend of giving a real picture of what game is like.

Been playing this game since it first dropped and been loving it ever since. Was sad when this game was apparently abadoned so I was happy to see it come back swinging, this game is what you see.

Good:
Amazing Renders: some of the best this site has to offer
Your daughters character model is great, and sexy: this is important as she is what you will be seeing 90% of the time
A LOT OF SEX, like ridiculous amounts of it which is great but comes at a cost depending...

Bad:
Story: This isn't really a problem for me as I prefer being able to jerk off to something sexy over reading a shakesperean play, but for those who haven't tried it, there is a lack of story. In the early releases you felt like there was one coming but we've yet to see that amount to anything. Basically boils down to your in a time-loop so the day resets but things you did previously unlock more content per loop, and thats the gameplay.


For me its a 5 stars cause it delivers one what I want and story isn't bad, just non-existent which is preferable to a terrible half-baked story this website is filled with

I've always been a fan of groundhog's day style stories. You've got a main character slowly slipping into madness as everything constantly repeats and he or she can never make any progress. They're almost always about character growth, about the need for the main character to overcome a character flaw or learn an important life lesson. Add a few bonus points for allowing crazy stuff to happen because it will just be undone tomorrow and you have a recipe for a good time.

This is unfortunately not that game. Infinity: Love or Lust is a corruption VN where the author didn't really feel like doing that plot progression thing that VNs have so you just loop the same events over and over again until the love interest has enough love or lust or the main character has enough skill points to advance.

If that sounds like a tedious slog in which you hold down the control key a lot, you're exactly right. If you think it doesn't really live up to the idea of a groundhog's day style story, you are also right. Apparently you're living the same day over and over but you can still generate cash and skills, and the female protagonist is still corrupted though she doesn't seem to notice the loop? Yeah, it doesn't make sense and there's no explanation.

The corruption isn't too great either. Since this game is just running the same events over and over again, it's difficult to show how the female lead changes when she looks the same, the lead up is the same, and the only difference is this time you fuck her or whatever sex act. It's hard to feel any sort of progression.

I can give the game credit for its renders at least. While there are some images that hit the uncanny valley for me a bit, most of them are fairly good. The individual scenes are decent too, but they just don't come together to a cohesive whole.

Overall, unless you're aggressively into daddy/daughter incest or something in the images speaks to a certain part of you, I'd pass on this game. There's just not enough to the story or characters to let this game break the loop.

This really short game has graphics a bit bellow average. Nevertheless there are some nice renders. The story practicly doesnt exist. The game mechanics is not great not terrible. Overally the game seems boring.

(Review is for version R12)

Far from the worst game on f95, but the idea of just repeating the same events over and over until something is different is just fundamentally flawed and my experience while playing is seriously suffering for it.

Say what you will about traditional VNs, but they're objectively better than whatever this style would be called. I get wanting to create something new, but this idea just falls flat and there's no way of saving it as a format.

The content itself is okay, you can even tell the developer is getting better at animation and stuff, the daughter model is really nice. There are some seriously nice ingredients here, it's just that the recipe is way too experimental.

With some unobtrusive background music, better sound effects, some steady improvement to posing, lighting and animating AND most importantly a better format, this could seriously be a smash hit. As it is now, the good parts seriously fail to outweigh the bad parts.

What's good about this game: decent model & rendering, and a moderate pace in terms of corruption. No pointless typical-Russtyle super daily grinding, straight to the point.

What's bad about this game: The two paths doesn't really have that much difference, i.e. the girl doesn't act that distinctively under high love vs. lust, and that makes the path division considerably less meaningful. I really expected the girl to be much more shameless & slutty when she's under "infinite lust".

What's improvable about this game: Please do add a lot of exhib scenes (if not more public ones) when you do have the "exhibition" and "corruption" tags at the same time. Otherwise that'd be simply a huge waste of the combo.

Played it, done the love route...

Well, there is not that much to say about it.

No suprises at all, everything goes very fast straight to sex after a handful loops. Not really a "build up" here. They are in love from the start, the first sexual encounters starts very early... and yeah... thats about it.

The dialogues are pretty bland "i love you" "i love you more" something like that...

The skip-button is a blessing for this game, started to skip very early (like after the 2 loop)

Amys Render/look is pretty nice, the best i can say about the game, i like her model very much...

For the MC and her character though... well... they dont have any real personality. Just "regular" nice people who love each other for just being on earth.... its... boring.

The lewd content, well, boring too... nothing outstanding here, quite the opposit, There are only 1 or 2 animations, and they are not good... for all the other scenes there is nothing much too see, you can hear some "smack" sounds, and well for each sexscene about 3-5 different renders, thats it...

There is no real purpose to earn money or buy the things at "work alone" they just unlock some "new" scenes which are again very boring.

No other Characters in the game, just the MC and Amy, thats it... need more to get more interesting i guess, but with the timeloop premise, it dont think this will happen until the game is finished.

My advice? If you like the model of Amy, play to the first sexscene with the skip button pushed down, and than... you can stop, cause there is nothing more interesting to see.

Nice Model... rest is poor. So, for the nice model of Amy i give 1 star, and 1 for the inital idea cause out of this idea you could make a real interestring and good game... but... the DEV didnt make something good out of it, just something boring.

Reviewed version R8.

An interesting take on the time-loop genre that falls down in its execution.
The game opens mid-story, which is fine. We've seen enough time-loops that we know how they work. You are a single parent of a teenage daughter living the same day over and over, but you have discovered that how you behave one day through the loop influences how she behaves in future loops. So you can either influence her to be your lover, or your slut.

Mechanically, you progress through the same core set of scenes each day, with a couple of straightforward branches. Each day, depending on your choices in previous days, new options unlock that progress the relationship and open up new scenes. On the surface this seems like a good setup for a story, the problem is that it doesn't quite translate to a good premise for a game.

Firstly, the repetition is just, well, repetitive. Expect to spend a lot of time leaning on the skip dialog, watching scenes you have seen a dozen times fly by, waiting to discover a new scene or choice. Spending more and more of theh game in fast-forward mode as you progress isn't that fun.

Secondly, decision-making is so binary you may as well have no decisions at all. You either pick all the obvious lust choices, and get increasing access to lust rewards, or all the obvious love choices and get increasing access to love rewards. Picking anything that isn't all one or all the other just means more loops through the day before your next reward.

Thirdly, the haphazard way that scenes unlock destroys any continuity. Because the story doesn't know in which order you will do the scenes you unlock, or whether they will occur in one day or spread across several, both MC's and the daughter's reaction to them happens in am awkward, context-free vacuum.

Fourthly, there's literally nobody in the world but the MC and his daughter, which further limits the variety available to you.

Finally, the game cheats its own premise. You are in a time-loop but somehow you keep the money you make, and items you buy, each day. And it's very hard to believe from the daughter's behaviour that she doesn't remember what has happened at least in some previous loops. By the end of my play-through, my sincere head-canon was that the MC is insane and imagining himself in a time loop, and the daughter is humouring him to stop him entirely falling apart.

The game has its good points. The daughter's model is fine, poses and facial expressions aren't weird or creepy, the sex scenes are well put together and well narrated, if a little repetitive and poorly animated. If you take the time to lean on that skip button you'll find some enjoyable content, if you've got nothing better to do in an evening.

The love path of this game is one of my favorite iterations of the Groundhog genre on this site! What it does so well is focus on one relationship instead of a messed up foray with half a dozen women that just inevitably falls apart. I adore the relationship between the MC and his daughter in the love path, I played the lust path just to get all the scenes and it's not my cup of tea personally. My only complaint would be her renders looking a little old at times. And of course this game does have many of the usual pitfalls of the Groundhog Day genre, including alot of the sameness day-to-day, so get ready to use that skip button going through some days to get enough love/lust points to unlock the next scene. Fear not however, the game is not a grindfest so long as you use that skip read text button wisely.

Also shout out to this creator for quick updates and the fact that the game is offered for free, even Patreon supporters don't get it earlier than the rest of us. That also counts for something!

Very chic and no less. There is already a certain amount of content. This time, for some reason, I liked the theme of groundhog day. By the way, the daughter reacts very strangely to all events, it turns out if it is the same day, and even some signs of memory of events slip through in the dialogues, it is very intriguing.

A game without a plot. Only one character, in addition, not very attractive. Graphics on a poor level. The lack of an initial bond between the father and daughter, which makes the game characterless. Boring.
30 minutes of life lost

Played the lust route in version 5.

This game loops with many of the same images each day. In most games, this quickly becomes boring. In this game, it successfully adds to the tension.

The renders are excellent, and many renders of the girl are at excellent angles and perspectives.

My only (small) criticism is that the girl's face sometimes looks old when she smiles strongly. (Example when she is in the kitchen and looking across a counter at the MC.) In most pictures, her face is beautiful.

Another criticism is that there are too many pictures of the apartment (without any girl) that we see over and over. I would rather see the girl (even if only the background) in almost every picture, especially when we have to see these pictures over and over.

Overall, this is one of those rare games where the daily loop is mostly fun. If the developer adds more possible events to the daily loop, then the daily loop will become even better. Plus, the girl is great. Five stars for an EXCELLENT rating.

I actually really like the setup.

Playing the same events over again, with increasing options is, frankly, the most realistic way to approach everyday life sims.
Isn't that what most of us do? Live day to day with each day being just a little bit different from yesterday?

I also think it works well as its not as ambitious as other games. I actually think this game might really be "Completed" or at least advanced enough to be worth playing regardless.

Its already mostly there, imo.

The renders are good. The corruption is slow enough not to feel immediate, but gradual enough to prevent it feeling grindy.

And I really like the father/daughter aspect.

Only reason it lost a star is because the writing needs a little bit of work. I'm guessing its been translated as some things are a bit awkward.

Still, really enjoyed what's already here.

Version: R5 (played love path)
Great graphics, good looking girl decent looking MC.

But the best thing is that man and woman behave as they should. On the one hand, the MC is not a weakling, who drinks soy latte for breakfast, and on the other hand, he does not behave like a horny teenager who tries to corrupt his daughter.

The daughter is nice, takes care of her father touchingly and is a good housewife. Moreover, she is very intelligent. A very nice change from the typical bratty spoiled chick, the horny bitch, the dumb bimbo or whatever other female characters absolutely dominate AVNs these days (for whatever reason).
The Love Path offers a pleasant romance without the MC having to corrupt his daughter or be degraded to a beta cuck and fortunately still offers Maledom elements. I also like the fact that the game focuses entirely on the relationship between dad and daughter and leaves out everything else!

The game has managed to suprise me positively. Only the whole time loop thing doesn't really make sense when you think about it, at least how it's implemented. But from my point of view the time loop plot wouldn't have been necessary in the first place...

Nevertheless one of the, if not the best daddy-daughter games out there!

The game has two distinctive paths based on your Love or Lust stat, with completely different renders. This is very good for a small project. Renders are great, and the Daughter is hot. The grind in my opinion is not bad, you can accumulate points pretty fast in this game.

EDIT: tried 0.3 -> still NO changes to what i reviewed on 0.2

Original Review based on R2:

NOT RECOMMENDED!

2 stars ONLY because the girl is nice and pretty.

CONS:
- extremely repetive ( SAME scenes and EXACTLY same dialoques every day, even Dad recognizes that it's groundhog, there are no thoughts about that during the day, no change in dialogues - nothing)
- storyplot therefore doesn't make any sense
- there are tons of inconsistencies, such as:
* daughter gets stats (love or lust) which should be gone the next day, but they aren't
* MC buys things like outfit, dildo, pooltable, which should be gone the next day, but aren't

Overall it's a nice try, but messed up in so many ways.

I recommend the developer to play actual some other "groundhog day" games and learn how to do them. As it is right now, it's just the same vanilla "stat grinding" to get closer to daughter, but even without effort to create new scenes but rather use the same scenes and dialogues over and over again. REALLY NOT FUNNY !

Asides above mentioned, there are just TWO characters - MC and daughter, which makes the whole senseless plot even more unbelievable and absolutely boring.

Hopefully things change in future, but honestly i doubt, as the way it's done right now doesn't allow to get any improvements into the game at all. It's a pity - sorry.

So this game is just a loop. Your choices won't matter because you choose again anyway. Unlock the extra... 5 or so scenes and you're done.

You will probably replay the day many times before realizing this.

The game has potential, but it's shorter than a demo. Got very bored unfortunately.

A well-made game. The R1 version has a lot of events and content. Nice style of the text, at the same time understandable even for a foreigner, which I am. Nice graphics and well-developed game mechanics. I am happy and looking forward to updates.
