Ren'Py - Completed - Long Live the Princess [v1.0.1] [Belle]

I had put aside this game two years ago, hoped for a lot, I liked the way the game left open choices and a good scenario..... I was wrong down all the line, the game leaves the impression that the choices are yours, sometimes yes (Evelyn can be saved from Thaddeus.), sometimes no (Forced relationship.), and finally the sandbox is the place where we spend most of our time, which is not a good mark, there is also a crazy numbers of back and forth.

I'm not going to lie, I stopped at Samarra's relationship, why? She did not interest me and the relationship is forced with her, if this character is forced, it means there will be others, here, that does not interest me at all, if I had to continue it would be by cheating to skip events and gain skills, that's not how I want to play.

Long live the princess, has some interesting ideas but done in a way where we believe in multiple choices, our so called "choices" come down to having different ways of having multiple relationships... I understand why it was done this way, I read the story, but it's clearly not for me and think it could have been much better, too bad. 3/5

Very good Story, well defined and rich content. Good stories are what keeps me coming back for more and more. Would have loved to see the story between the Ice Queen(the one that tried to take his life force in the ruins) and the MC maybe develop a little further after she realized she liked being nice again.

Multiple paths and story endings are a good thing. Especially for re-plays.

Great renders and artwork.

Again, Great Story and sub-stories throughout. Definitely back for more!

v0.37.0

An interesting story with pretty good writing, hot girls and solid sex scenes. The plot is interesting, but the gameplay is a bit of a chore. I eventually had to turn to walkthrough because there was just no way I was going to figure out my way through using trial and error. There is a lot of game too, which if you're liking the game is great but I eventually ran out of steam.

Wow... This game is genuinely one of if not the best game I've ever played. The storyline = 9.5/10. The story is god tier beacuse it's not a simple fuck her game since it has some romantic elements into it as well. Art style= 7.2/10. All and all this game rocks

This game feels like the 18+ was added afterwards, especially the sex scenes, it all feels forced, it doesn't feel like sex is an homogeneous part of the world, like something that is there and exist.
That's the biggest problem, you have a power to corrupt the minds of people and literally remove any inhibitions and most of the girls you meet just want to have sex with you for no reason, and the reason is justified by the plot, in such mediocre and ridicolous ways (The sex scene with the queen of the fairies made my jaw drop)all the build up is ruined.
The writing is really smooth, no errors, for the humor instead you must be a fan of it, or you won't laugh a lot.
Characters are ok, but there are some that are so annoying that I wished there was an evil route in this game, the pixel is literally the Navi of porn games, and the protagonist is awful, a coward, an idiot and a pervert, it's the least relatable character I have seen.
But now for the good part the plot is super engaging, it always makes me want to know more, and putting the pieces of evidence in a greater picture is always fun.
For the grind, there is, but it's reasonable, it's not annoying.
And that's it, if the game was just a plot and investigating I would have given 5 stars.
But the linear structure with few choices, the irritating plot sex scenes and some characters really drag the game down to 3,5.
It's not a bad game, I would say that is above average and stands out in his own ways.

Rating version 0.37.0
Overall, I'd give this a 9/10 if I could give a more granular score, but I'm rounding up.
The story is interesting, with a neat little twist at the very end to justify NG+. The gameplay is pretty good, though I think the clue system could probably use some more work, especially given that there are currently a bunch of unusable clues. The art/rendering is good, though I'm not a huge fan of the style, and the animations could be a bit better. Overall, well worth the time I put into it. My only major complaint is the lack of a "good guy" harem ending, but that's a matter of personal preference beyond anything else.

This game is a gem.
While the outstanding part for me is the excellent writing I did enjoy the stupid story and that adventure-esque searching for clues and exploring. Graphics and designs are good, sex scenes could be better - but overall it is a 4 or 5 out of 5 for me.

The clue development of this game is to keep you grinding, extremely boring. You said how good the plot is, and there is no, investigating the murders, you have to constantly talk from each role, but the role is random in certain situations, and there is a secret to solving a female role. This plot is really a bit stupid. Without proper guidance, it is easy for people to get stuck in the plot, and the sex scenes are not done well, and the reasons for sex are very far-fetched. So I don’t think this game deserves a high score of 4 stars or more.

Good engaging story. Good light-hearted humorous writing that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The best NG+ system that I have seen in an 'adult' game with a story wrapped around it that makes sense.

One of the best uses of background music I've experienced in an adult game.

Interesting 'detective' game-esque gameplay. Nothing too difficult for the most part, but difficult enough to get you interested in what's happening.

I personally liked Nell, The Fairy Queen & Callie the most

Excellent game, for sure this game is one of the best in this forum! I'm waiting the next update. If the developer create a spell to make Bell big I'll be glad, I need to fuck him in tall form. Aqui é Brasil porra!

tl;dr
Extremly good and fun to play but the name giving Princess is just a bystander

CON: -> Only the first one is a major letdown for me, the other two are minor ones.

- The Princess is only a bystander in the whole game and you only get her near the end of the game. From the looks she is by far the hottest for me and it really saddens me that your whole quests revolves around her while there is next to no contend with her. How should you build an emotional bond with her if you only talk like 5 sentences with here before the ending. I think thats the worst part of the game.

- Its not a harem game but its mostly ok because it wouldnt rly work with the game AND + Its kinda sad that So you are more or less forced to be the "mostly" good guy.

- The clues you already used are still there so while getting more and more clues it gets rather hard to find the ones you need in your notes

PRO:
- The characters are all loveable and near the end there is even a short moment where MC starts to shake out of fear and understanding whats at stake.

-> thats the only think i came up with as PRO but only because its remarkable for me. The whole game itself is great!

PS: Im really looking forward to what comes next seeing its 0.36 and it feels like quite finished BUT you never know with the version numbers you get here.

The graphics are nice, the plot is not easy, the assembly is stable. A lot of text, several endings (and not all are successful). There is little animation, but it is there.
Overall, I liked it. A bit tight, but one of the best games in the genre.

Very novel approach to mind control and an interesting story, but the parts that make this into a porn game are quite poor and feel like were added as an after thought. The game poses itself as a narrative driven game but does a very poor job of it. Either have a mindless porn game or think everything through when you're writing a story.

The story itself is way too long and slow to provide any meaningful porn scenes. It's like 80% exposition and 20% porn with just basic get naked because of mind control type of scenes.

The night time voyeur and sleep harassment have nothing to do with the story or the main character's personality. For some reason he can just sneak into people's houses and molest them like this is typical behaviour.

The sex scenes that are a result of the story have no reason for happening. Half the women just force themselves on to the main character and the MC is just happy someone is fucking him. Why are they fucking him? Because the characters are made to fuck. There's no game or corruption. They just meet the MC and almost instantly fuck him.

First review on F95 simply because it's hands down the best game. Very well thought out plot and storyline with multiple paths to completion and consequences of your actions. You're not necessarily punished (too badly), but the overall experience is very rewarding.

The girls - well there's something for everyone looks wise, but you'll probably find them all hot and they are visually unique. The renders and scenes are stunning, a lot of effort has gone into this.

This game sets the benchmark for erotic games.

In a genre full of subpar games with

-Models that put me off sex for a week performing dull lifeless sex scenes that take me out of the mood.
-Nonsensical plot lines that only exist to get to the next sex scene.
-Characters who essentially only exist for the main character to fuck.
-Lazy game mechanics and awful glitchy programming.



This game is a breath of fresh air with

-A far more polished feel in models and mechanics that don't feel like I'm struggling against the game's amateur hour programming before hitting a fucking glitch of some kind.
-An actual plot with world-building and characterizations.
-Characters who are you know ...Characters with some actual semblance of agency.
-Sex scenes that don't put me to sleep after 2 seconds or have me rapidly clicking to get through them.

Overall I hope more game developers start taking notes on what Belles accomplished here.

I have followed this game since the beginning, so no need to say i love it. Even though i still give it 5 stars, I will say that i was extremely disappointed with the ending. Not because it was not done well for what it was, but because you literally go through the entire game "training" your magic power to be able to "save" the princess at the end and yet you find yourself literally powerless to do anything except "talk" your way to victory. It feels as if the developer fleshed out the story to about half way and then threw the cards on the table, yawned, and went to bed while there was a huge pile of cash on the table. Sad, so much more could have been done.

The game has a really good first playghtrough, if you dont mind low quality renders, despite the the fact those renders make the game look kind of artistic, many times you will notice blurry image.
This is compensated with the hot girls, that are mostly on the young side.

The negative counterbalance would be that, sex scenes, in my second playthrough are not working, they are kind of there, but just that, so i guess the acomplishment factor playing it for the first time may have a bigger impact than the actual depiction of the sex scene, in my opinion.

For the negative part i would say that, grinding stats require you to engage in encouters of sexual nature with girls,so if you dont like a specific girl, you still need that stat to progress a different girl, that fact is kind of meh, i dont really like not being able to chose.

Another negative part is the "love" part, love confessions are just text, not much wholesome anywhere, you may be confessing your love to some girl sitting on the other side of the table, have sex, and leave just like that.
Im not a fan of sex scenes where you only see a weird close up face, while texts describes things happening. Evelyn sex was supposed to be an important moment, and she was supposed to be a virgin but you just penetrate it shile watching her face, an thats that, doesnt feel like a big moment at all. As i said, maybe once you are stripped by the sense of acomplishment, the actual depiction of the sex scene, is pretty boring.


This lack on the sex part made my second playthrough more like an entertainig game than a porn novel, if i may rate it by the level of horny that i achieved while playing it.
But once again, as a game is really entertaining, and writing is decent, it has some slightly comic moments and still fun to play.

With all this taken into account, this game would have 5 stars in the first playthrough, and i would say 2 in the second (cause i didnt feel much really) I think that if you have played many games already, which is my case, Most of the things this game has you will find that other games also have them, just better.

With one expcetion:
If you are into lesbian stuff, there is one partcilcar scene which in my opinion is the best shit you will find in this site. A scene that feels like way better that the content that the rest of the game offers, in my opinion. If the rest of the game, offered the same quality of that scene, this novel would be the best for the next 5 years, but it doesnt, which is a downer.
Maybe making the sex scenes "interactive" limited the narrative part.
It annoys me knowing the dev has the abillity to write and depict such scene, and the rest of the game feels like a different person wrote it.

Anyway, a very entertainig game, and hot game, with lots of "sexual acomplishemnts" to achieve, interactive sex scenes, and hot girls, but sex scenes may not be the best if you see them with a more critical eye, and that may kind of defeat the purpse of a second playthrough. The game may become a skipfest.

First review here in F95, but I had to put something down on record for a game I've been following on and off for a couple of years now.

I first encountered LLtP when it was in its early stages. Content would dry up after a few in-game days, but what was available had good quality models and the set-up was intriguing. Fast forward to the present day, and past me would have been amazed to see how far it's gone.

The game puts you in a fairly unique setting, and doesn't skimp on the sex scenes in the early game, as some other games do. There's a good balance between NSFW and SFW content, and what you get from the NSFW part is pretty rewarding. Ignoring the fact that most of the sex scenes boils down to: 'pick pussy/anal, see animation, click finish, click preg/non-preg option', the animations and model quality are high-class. They're not as amazing as certain other games, but the overall graphics are in the top 5th percentile of games here in F95.

What really makes this game shine is the characters. Belle is a fan-favourite for obvious reasons, but Callie and Evelyn are really good too. It's a shame this is all relatively short, there are plenty of ways the game can be expanded, and certain parts of the game even note that with unimplemented options.

The one part of the story that was a little disappointing was the ending. In comparison to the build up and the pre-endgame content, everything feels rushed and the payoff isn't relative to the playthrough. It makes sense narratively, everything happens in the span of a day so stuff moves quickly, but the post-game scenes aren't as satisfying as you would expect. I expect these to be fleshed out eventually but right now one or two CG scenes for an ending is pretty disappointing. It's also sad to see that certain endings that were being hinted at like (Callie/Evelyn) weren't implemented. In fact, the choices for endings were pretty strict, but if that's Belle (the creator)'s intention with monogamy then that's their prerogative.

One other thing that could really help this game is a better implementation of the endgame state. I'm fresh out of ideas right now but tapping 'start endgame content' feels more like a placeholder move than anything else.

Ultimately, while the game has technically finished there are still improvements to be made. I just really wanted to get my thoughts down on something that I've followed for a couple of years. Good work Belle! I look forward to reviewing and enjoying the 1.0 release of LLtP

To me this game is about average to those I've seen on this site. It does nothing exceptionally well, but nothing very bad either. The biggest downside would probably be the grind which I don't enjoy. Both the art and story is decent, not great.

This game is kind of long (for me it was, but Im not complaining) and there's not much incest, which is what I primarily look out for, but still it managed to grasp my attention, possibly due to the writing, which is captivating and engrossing to say the least. The characters are actually very well-fleshed out, now that I think of it, and that must have been the reason why the sex felt great. And realistic, I guess.

I suppose the sister figure could have used a bit more flesh-ing out, but she was alright. Nothing extraodinary, but it was still hot. Then there are some other characters with whom getting to the sex part was early and easy, but its not really a con, again, it can be good when its logical to do so. But, anyway, having said that. sex at the very start with the new character can also be a bit of a downer, as its the chase - the journey, so to say - thats what makes sex exciting.

Im not a big fan of detective games, and so i didnt enjoy the grinding part, but then again, because of the grind, the sex was more fulfilling. Its not a con, again.

The Objectives or (things to do) list can use a bit of reworking, I suppose, to direct us in the gameplay. I was lost quite a few times.

Conclusion
Lots of positives in the game tbh. You should just try it out. The writing is good, the sex scenes are better than 90% games here, and it keeps you wanting more! Im currently at day 50

(Thanks for the game. DO leave a review after you finish it, Im sure the creator will appreciate it. Please consider donating as well. Really helps and motivates ! )
