Unity - Completed - Lucky Mark [v18.0] [Super Alex]

I give this game 5 stars cuz it definetly doesnt deserve it's average rating atm. Yes i know it requires too much grinding and it can be boring. But the renders, animations, hot women definetly deserve more. I like this game.

Maybe the biggest grind game out there, which is a shame because the character models in the game are fantastic.

Most events you will have no idea what to do unless you have the guide up, and oh yeah the majority of events happen once a week so its alot of waiting around for the next time to progress.

Way way to grindy for me. I dont want a game were I have to spend 3+ hours of real game time just to see 1 semi-sexy scene.

Summary: this game is a pain in the ass - in more ways than one.

Plot: 3 - this isn't the worst story in an adult game, but the "cool nerd makes good" trope has been done better than here.

Interface: 2.8(?) - there's a lot of information here, but some of the design decisions (such as not showing certain key relationship metrics) makes the interacting with the other characters very difficult, even with walkthroughs and cheats.

A note about the English in this game - a lot of developers aren't native English speakers and I appreciate their efforts. Some translations are better than others and some games (such as "Lust Affect") great in part because the translation is just wonky enough to make it funny. This is NOT one of those games: the English in this game is, in a word, terrible and it makes the game much less playable - even with cheats.

Game play: (-1) - it's not even a "grind" so much as you have to precisely do the right thing at the right time or you're boned. This is not a game for someone that wants to watch a fun story grow with a few challenges thrown in. Hell no; it's basically a very frustrating life-sim with very odd time windows.

Also, and most important (to me), the interactions with the characters are not the "persuade relatively normal people to like me or to fall in love/lust with me" kind of interactions I enjoy. You are basically manipulating the other characters to let you cop a feel or let you fuck them in the ass.

It just feels creepy.

Characters: 2 not fun at all, at least in my opinion. There are many games where the characters are, in a word, "normal" where the people you already know have familiar interactions and the people you don't have to be won over by charm and other reasonable character traits.

Not in this game.

The characters in this game, at least the three "main" characters (one male and two female) are assholes - even the teen girl. And, by "asshole", I mean jerks - even interactions with the girls that raise your relationship status almost always end with the girls yelling and/or complaining about something. They're drawn well but I could just Google better nude renders if that was all I was after.

Narrator/player: - the player, Mark, is a manipulative little douchebag. I feel creepier playing "Mark" than I do playing the Dad in an incest game. Everything he does is to manipulate the girls around him, including the married ones and his sister, in to letting him feel them up (and of course more throughout the game).

Final thought - play/don't play: don't bother unless you speak Polish or you are a masochist - it's that annoying. Strong "pass".

This is it, i'll check the CG rip periodically for this, this is too much, this is too damn annoying.
Worse thing? You get zero enjoyment even with the CHEATS and that's saying something: You also have to follow the walkthrough extremely carefully to get anything done. You'd say "can't you follow the walkthrough? " Not when i fap i can't.
and that's the biggest issue because you should! That's the point of this game right? Well it gets fucking annoying considering the game has zero tolerance for any mistake. So you start over and over and over until you rage quit. All this with the cheats enabled mind you!
People paying for this have to be genuine masochists i swear, good for them.
It's the second game where the fun get sucked off (not the good kind) by a tedious mechanic and no so enjoyable characters. The dude and his wife are fucking psycho. The fist game suffering from this was Big Brother. I am beginning to see a trend here.
PS there's even real porn in this; I fucking hate real porn.

I spend many time to play this game, but there are only repetitive scenes and way. walkthrough and hints was not help to play this game. If this game made by Ren'py engine, it must be 5 stars. there are function to skip repetitive scenes and dialogues in ren'py.
I don't want play this game anymore. downloading CG.zip is much better than playing game. i know developer make efforts to this game, but it is terrible for player and must be change to simplicity.
But many players point out this flaws before v10. I anticipate developer don't hear Anything about reviews. he just makes game like deaf blacksmith

It's a hard, long game, but the cg work and a story of corruption is worth it to play. The dynamics of the game are slow due to the complexity of the game. It has repeatedly repeated the same actions to get something new. I recommend playing with mod, otherwise the game will bother before you reach anything in it. I also recommend using a walkthrough Patience - that's all I can say.

I've just spent way too many hours grinding through Masochist...err... Lucky Mark v15.0
Now I'm off to find a fork to poke in my eye for something more fun to do.

I'll start with the good bits.
The quality of the images and models is absolutely top notch! This is the number one reason I inflicted this game upon myself.
Some of the music I also really enjoyed. The dev has found some tracks that are a blend of traditional middle-eastern music with dubstep, and I'm really diggin it!

Aaaaand that's it for the good points. It's all downhill from here.

The story is... umm... well, after many dozens of days game-time I've yet to see any kind of story evolve. Just day after day of grinding, and not the fun kind involving MC's dick on leading lady's arse either. That at least would have been something.

The characters so far are completely devoid of any character.
I think I've seen Mitsubishi industrial robots with more personality!

After grinding for 20 days you'd expect there to be some kind of relationship progression, but even with the relationship stats reaching nosebleed heights, the wife still reminds you that you're nothing more than an annoying bit of dog shit stuck to the bottom of her shoe.

There appears to have been no attempt to have this proof read for English translation. I've recently seen some excellent Russian to English translations. This ain't one of them! There's a lot of text in this game that makes little to no sense at all.

Technically, the game has a lot of flaws even this far into its production:
* frequent crashes and being booted back to Windows due to game not responding.
* very slow load times.
* If you save during a conversation and reload, you're reloaded back into the MC's bedroom, regardless of where you were, and just prior the entire character interaction.
* Frequent audio glitches, such as one music track playing over the top of another, and sound effects not switching off.
* No persistent saves for options like volume controls. These have to be adjusted every time you go back into the game.

All games have bugs and most devs work their butts off to fix them and fine-tune their games.
This game doesn't have many bugs. It just has a lot of lazy, half-arsed "stuff it, that'll do" programming.

And saving the most ludicrous for last...
It apears that this latest v15.0 update is still only a short way into the story, yet the zipped game is already a morbidly obese 8GB.
Eight fucking gigabytes of humourless, pointless, punch yourself repeatedly in the nuts because you foolishly think you're gonna get some sweet 3DCG pussy but all you'll get is.... GRINDING!!!

If there wasn't a hassle about royalties for the music, I think a good choice for intro music for this game would be by Devo:

Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down.....

I'm a little baffled why this game has such a low rating at the time of this review. The renders are top notch and the story is pretty good despite the low translation quality. The animations are a bit choppy, but are nonetheless rendered in super high quality.

Until very recently, this game had very little sexual content beyond simple nudity; however, this game continues to grow at a reasonable pace.

I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a game with enough challenge to make you feel rewarded, but not so much that it feels tedious and boring.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have hit Peak Grind.

We're all used to grindy adult games. It's a very easy mechanic to implement, and an (arguably) good way to stop a player from jumping right in to all content immediately. It can, if done correctly, build a sense of anticipation that makes forward progress exciting and even erotic. By that metric, this is the most erotic game on the planet (and this entire sentence is sarcasm).

Let's breakdown the bullshit you have to manage to make forward progress:
1. Energy
2. Hunger
3. Hygene
4. Mood (invisible stat, yay)
5. Physical fitness
6. Self-esteem
7. Chastity / Lust on a sliding scale

Now, those stats above are those which decay as you go through your day (and many, many weeks). There are another TEN (10!) stats that need grinding to access content. Most of them grind one (1) point at a time and cap out at one hundred (100). Oh, and a hidden luck stat, too.

I'm not one to give a direct recommendation, but in this case, I feel I have to: do not play this game without cheating. If you cheat to the maximum amount you can, either through the cheat mods you can find here or busting out Cheat Engine or simply save editing, then you can have yourself a slow but well-rendered pornographic gaming experience.

If you don't cheat? This game is literally unplayable. Good luck seeing so much as a nipple without putting in 40 hour weeks.

Oh, and one last thing: there is no rape tag on this game, and if you've played a bit you wouldn't think it'd be needed. The MC is generally a pretty nice guy for a porn game protagonist. Until, part way through the MILF character's story line, he gets her drunk and sadistically anally rapes her. And I'm not talking normal hentai game get-her-drunk-she's-free-game morals. Care is given in the text to describe the pain and cruelty being inflicted upon her. It's justified in-world because she's kinda mean and stuck up.

You can avoid the rape if you so choose, but I found it both out of character and surprising, so I thought it should be mentioned. YMMV.

Together with the cheat mod/walktrough this game is really great, with one of the hottest woman on the whole site and a slow build up
For people who just want to skip through and fap, I wouldn't recommend it, but others should give it a try.

That is indeed strange. If there are 3-4 updates left and you dont get past fondling with each of the 5 women I wonder how that will be possible to make. I fear that there will be in the end just one scene with each girl and then it is over.update is very short and absolutely not interesting from the point of view of the plot (although the pictures are always good).
It seems that the developer wants to quickly finish the game as the expected story, previously announced, it is doubtful that you can keep within 3-4 updates.

This dev needs to compress this game much better..
Skyrim without DLC is 10GB
Lucky Mark is 9GB....

Render(3/5): Well sure.. but not "WOAH!! OH look at that! And look at this!" ...
Even the threadPoster/thumbnail is unfocused... Where is the focus? Or the focal element? Elena's ass? On Mark or Elena herself?
Storyline(3/5): Classy but works. A guy, jumps into an Harem scenario; virgin unbekown girl, super hot MILF and an enemy(the boss).
Gameplay(2/5): Engrish but wth.. everyone aren't fluent enlish speaking.. oh, and don't miss G R I N D F E S T-tag on this game
Babes(4/5): Best part of this game.

Overall: A game that just are ... good if you're into grindfest.

Pros:

1- Renders look good i guess

Cons:

1- Engrish
2- The amount of cheats (be it it mods or sheet) already denounces the grind of this game, which is off the charts by the way.
3- Game is not optimized for what it offers as it's very bloated and while it's easy to blame Unity for this, the dev has it fair share of faults here.
4- Suffers from typical "Sandbox" problems.
5- Story is unfocused, you play as a programmer who works in-house for a multimillionaire guy. You're not told exactly what you're working for, your objectives for said work, the supposed need for it to be in-house, etc.
6- If you think the writing of the characters are basically one note situations, wait until you see the actual sex scenes.

One of the most grindy and convoluted games on this web site. I have played it for hours and i have yet to unlock a single sex scene, even when conditions for a scene are met(relationship points and skills). i have tried following a guide but it only tells you what to do in scenes not how to get to them. I don't usually need a walkthrough but without a comprehensive one it's almost impossible to progress in this game.

It's not a bad game if you don't mind using cheat/editing saves.
Edit: Final version is out, and I have to reduce my previous ratings. Over all, it could definitely have been worse, but as it is, it's not winning any award any time soon, either.


The upside is that the visual, and quest/story line is interesting enough, the quest/story line made sense at first, but later go down hill towards the end. The ending was rushed. The final product feel like half a game rather than a full one imho.

The downside is the lack of quality sex scenes and the grind.

As of version 14.0, all we had were blowjobs scenes, one anal rape scene in which Elena is drunk out of her wit, and one quickie scene with Mia, Cheng's assistant(?)/whore(?). And an attempt and fail at Anal with Christina.

As of version 17.0, there were more bjs and anal scenes but still 0 vaginal sex scene unless you count the tease with Elena.

Still waiting for 18.0 to download, but from what I've read, there are only a few vaginal sex scene in there as well, clearly not enough for a full release. This is basically what happened: 17 versions of no real sex, everyone was complaining and raging, so when dev had to rush end, he put all vagina sex scene into one update, Mark basically fucks every girl but his sister and Jessica one after another in the ending sequence.

The grind is not much of a problem if you use cheat mod or know what to edit in save. The Walkthrough is also useful if you actually know how to use your brain and not just want step-by-step, day-by-day instruction to do everything. However, if your brain capacity cannot handle "thinking", don't bother reading the walkthrough, it might be too advanced for you.

Overall, it's not a bad horrible game. But it's not a great one, either still a pretty bad one all things considered. Also, at this rate, we may never have any real consent sex scene. If this was half a product, I'd give it a higher ratings, but since it's confirmed to be a finished game, I would advise you to just download the fanmade CG for fapping materials and ignore the game for the sake of your sanity.

I do not think I encountered another game in this site with such a massive amount of grind. It is a total chore and feels like work. It feels like doing PhD. Repeating the same things over and over again to get a "Scene". Mind you just a scene and if you want to unlock more scenes you have to keep repeating. This is an asinine design strategy and for the life of me I cannot understand why porn game developers insist on adding it to their games.

Nice game. Art work is great, story interesting. A bit too much grinding as far as sleep, eating and hygiene - unbalanced that way and takes away from actual fun experiences.

English translation is really not the best - poor english leads to confusion in many parts , example is Car Key quest - Zari's explanation in the car is misleading and really confusing, seems to say you need to pick up the key in garage cabinet when in fact she is really giving it to you then. No accompanying special art work or key appearing in inventory so very unclear and you don't really know you already have it. So you spend weeks trying to redo scene over and over to find key in cabinet then report bug when there is no bug.

But giving 4 stars for great art work, creativity and overall game mechanics and play.

Excellent pictures, quite consistent characters (except for the MC of course) and hard as hell to get bitches
I also enjoyed the long playability and the ability to lose points on the characters. The grinding is a bit much though IMHO.

I can understand why many people don't like this game, but it's pretty awesome.

Yes, there's a lot of grind. But the save file is XML, so if you get tired of raising stats it couldn't be easier to just modify the stat. No cheat mod needed.

Yes, some of the scenes or quests can only be gotten on specific days at specific times. But the ingame quest log hints are pretty decent and it's not hard to spam the clock to skip to the right time. Worst case, again, the save file is XML and you can set exactly what you need.

Yes, some of the scenes require answers or quizzes. But most of the answers are fairly obvious, and even when they're not you get immediate feedback so it's not hard to save before hand and jot down notes on the right answers.

One of the nice things that I wish more games would do is that early scenes with fairly tame outcomes actually change as the game goes on. So the character that was shocked that you saw her in the shower in the start of the game doesn't keep acting shocked when you see her in the shower after she's giving you handjobs. A small touch that gives more opportunities for new scenes and makes the game feel less on rails.

Ultimately, the story is great, the scenes are hot, and the animations are some of the best I've seen. It's enough to keep me coming back despite some minor hiccups.

When I first discovered this game (version 10) I was really into it and played it for hours on end. Great character models, especially the mom, and there's an interesting story here. You know there's something bad going on behind the scenes with Bill, which had me intrigued. There were also lots of quests to do at the same time at various points of the day. I also didn't mind the translation errors that much.

But with each new update, the Russian grind just gets worse and worse. Every new quest follows really specific requirements, and since all of the early quests are short, you've already finished all of them by the time every new batch of quests comes out. Some scenes can only be triggered at one specific time on one specific day of the week and you have to keep triggering those scenes over and over to progress a little bit more every single time. So you just skip time in the game waiting for triggers just to progress the new quests, which gets even more boring.

Also, grinding for stats in this is so insane that I'd say wurg's cheat mod is a necessity. You get 1 point in a stat, say imagination for example, every 1 or 2 in game hours you spend training. You need 75 imagination for some scenes. There are 9 other stats that you also have to train really high in order to unlock other different scenes. That's way too much grinding for too little payoff.

And on top of all of this, we're at update 13 now and, while there are some blowjobs, there's still barely any other kind of sex, and most of what little there is isn't even consensual. And then the dev decided to add unskippable NTR in this too. Yeah no thanks, bye Felicia.
