VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Lust Campus [C3 Final] [RedLolly]

I was browsing the 'female protagonist' tag when I came across this game and I feel glad to have discovered it so early on in its production. Simply put, this has the potential to be the best game of its kind and that's saying something considering how high the bar has been set with GGGB.

Provided that updates are consistent and maintain this level of quality then I would definitely recommend that other players check it out and also become patrons so that the game is properly funded and can be developed to its completion. It honestly looks like it could be the next big game in this genre.

The artstyle is downright amazing and possibly even has the best 2D art you could find out there. The build wasn't buggy when I played it [v0.1b]. The writing is good, with few language errors and seems believeable and well done with a familiar premise that should lead to some exciting developments later on. The seeds are already there in the story (as of writing this review, only the first day has been released so not a lot of content currently but that will hopefully change in the short term) for an interesting and fun game.

To conclude, RedLolly is on to something special here and I think if they are able to put out consistently good updates then Lust Campus will also turn into a fantastic female protagonist game.

This is the best female protagonist game I've played next to GGGB and Female Agent. With more content and updates I'm sure this will top both of them.

The art is the best I've seen in any lewd game, it's jaw dropping. The characters are believable and relatable.

Cons: There's a scene in the school hallways that is borderline rapey but is brushed off as normal.

The art style is good, this game similar to GGGB and ORS, I like this type of game because all sex genre included inside the game
5star for this game, what an interesting game, hope to see more in the future

The art is probably the best I've seen in any adult-game ever.
The story also seems to be going in a good direction. I like the characters.

The potential is absolutely staggering. I recommend everyone to try this out!

I think it's looking good, that art is certainly NICE, but it's a super early version without a lot to really base an opinion on yet. In just days it has a crazy number of five star reviews, what is there even to review?

It's slightly better than most demos but this is like seeing the suspension of a car being made and then having a dozen people out of no where yell at you it's going to be the greatest car ever. Oh, and the automaker won't put anymore on it for you to judge what you think of it unless you pay them right now.

That's where I get suspicious, this crazy number of reviews, including some criticizing reviews that aren't 5 star, with a patreon page demanding money or no 2nd version... the only fishy I like to virtually smell around here is the virtual coochies of some of the skankier girls being drawn or rendered.

This is average until they deliver more and there's no way a game with barely any content and just a few admittedly above average teaser pics deserves to be ranked with games that have earned their high reviews through version after version of high quality content and traditional patreon models.

I hope I come back in a few versions and can change this to a 4 or 5 because later patches deserve it. Honestly if it keeps up with this art and shows some stamina I hope in a few versions I'll be comfortable giving them my money. Right now though, a pretty demo is still just a demo and demos are average, and insisting on money before even a a first update isn't a trend I'm comfortable supporting (though to those of you more trusting than I am, I hope this pans out for you, it really is nice art).

The art is good but there were several game crashing bugs that should have been caught by testers prior to releasing the game. The game is tagged for a school setting but she only attends one class? The stat screen suggets that the game tracks just kink, rude, and smart? This seems awfully limiting in trying to have meaningful game choices. The writing as well as the characters weren't very interesting. Also, the release was rather short.

I'm really amazed by the 4 stars reviews here. Such eternally unhappy people really do exist and are not a myth , huh?
There is even a guy who left 3 , with a big post saying nothing, but re-telling the story-line.
Guys, this is not critique reviews, what you left. Its BS
This game deserves a Game Oscar!
And you fall for the typos? Seriously?

Facial expressions - speechless. No, this is not a poor attempt to simulate a grin or anger, using some stolen face expression mod from daz3d. ITS ACTUAL HUMAN EXPRESSION, telling a story itself. Even if they were filmed alive they would be super duper movie actors.

And by the way. Except the facial expressions the rest of the game: interface, smoothly running engine, storyline, smart dialogues, intrigue, true type of the characters in response to their reactions....its just a few I can point , that beats 99% of the all the rubbish in this site alone

If you don't give 5to this game , I don't know what other game you'd do it for, therefore your opinion wont matter much.

The author is aiming for 3000$ a month? With what he showed in just 0.1 , it deserves much more. RedLolly, be blessed !

This is a very promising project. Artwork is beautiful characters are hot and fun. I like the stat system it has potential in it and choices are seems like meaningful. I also like the female protagonist.

Epic Game in progress !!

Similar at GGGb or ORS with a better graphic.
For me, Alice is not shy enough. I like it when corruption moves slowly. Step by step.
She is already dressing too sexy.
I can't wait for her to meet her Arthur to train her

Its just the first chapter so this score is based on first impressions.

The Art is definitely the games best selling point though the character differentiation and potential character growth and story branching makes this a game to watch for. The MC is also has different potential paths which makes another pro.

I really hope the game lives up to its first impression. Fingers crossed

finally a worthy heir to GGGB, i know it’s early but this is looking like the best game in development right now. engaging story, varied and compelling characters, a protagonist that can have different and believable personalities, beautiful art, incredibly polished UI... what’s not to like?

Alright, this game is a welcome sight to see.

The art is the first thing that truly sets it apart from other games. The characters are gorgeous, especially the MC. On top of that, the characters seem to be more than just pretty faces. They have at least some level of depth. That being said, it's very early on in the game and I definitely need to see more before I can determine how I feel about them.

The game has an interesting story, nothing groundbreaking or new but there looks like there's a clear goal moving forward and presumably quite a few routes you can take. The choices seem deliberate and offer a good amount of variation. I like the UI and I think the "relationship" system seems well-built.

Now for the main downside, there were a real lot of typos and misspellings and even sometimes just the wrong word in places. The game really needs some proofreaders because it did feel to me like it was just ran through a translator at times.

I hope to see more from this game although I am a little hesitant. This to my knowledge is a new developer and their first goal on patreon is $3,000 monthly. It's obviously extremely steep considering the industry and I do question whether they can continue to pump out quality content.

This game has a lot of promise. For now, it gets my seal of approval with a solid 4. There really needs to be some more good female protagonist games and this has the makings of one.

TL;DR: Lust Campus [v0.1] has beautiful visuals, some design flaws in the game design, hot characters and a story with questionable beginnings (be nice = non-consensual stuff happens). 3/5


First off, this game has potential and I will keep my eye on it.
As I usually try to do, I slept on it before writing a review. This cleared my mind a bit, because the first impression was strongly dominated by the great visuals. Stripping these away and looking at the game itself the picture changes.

The Good
- The artwork/graphics are beautiful. No questions there. One minor nitpicking (glasses, see below), and unfortunately no animations (yet?), but still a solid 5/5

- The only glimpse of a penis so far seems somewhat normal sized, Lin has small breasts, only MC has very large breasts, but still narrowly within real life reason. Nothing comically enlarged so far. ++


The Neutral
- The music is good, imagining it going on for hours during a full playthrough not so much. It's a [v0.1], so a lot of potential to add and improve.

- The characters are consistent, but rather stereotypical so far. The sexy tattooed bad boy, his equally sexy bitchy and arrogant half-sister, the shy smart nerd, the bluff muscular landlord/roommate, the fair fatherly college professor. All of them solid 10s by the way, even the nerd looks like he could be a lead in a Hollywood movie. Maybe the future will bring a bit more diversity and depth.

- The story is solid and consistent, the dialogues have a good casual quality. One thing sticks out negatively though (see below).
Story-wise the inclusion of Rilke (MC's pet cat, nice nod to the poet) is a good way to have the MC bounce ideas and emotions off of someone. Good story device.

- You cannot choose the MC's name (yet?).


The Bad
- The one graphic element to nitpick, which every wearer of glasses will notice: None of the glasses of Alice, her dad, or Darren seem to have any corrective purpose. These glasses are decorative only. Dear non-glasses-wearer: We notice this. It breaks the illusion (a tiny bit).

- The game mechanics are unnecessarily limited. Having played a lot of Ren'Py games I'm used to things like rollback and quicksave/-load. While in this game rollback for normal dialogues is enabled, decision rollback is disabled. No problem, I'll just use quicksave & -load more often. Nope, also disabled.
Using Ren'Py and then limiting these mechanics is like buying a workhorse and then breaking its legs. In my opinion that is completely unnecessary and will become much more annoying the further the story develops.

- The story has an element which made me very angry. After a very nice intro about MC, her best friend, her dad and her cat she goes to college and because she's late and lost she has a decision to make: Whether to ask the sexy bad boy who approaches her for help or tell him to mind his own business. The latter decision increases MCs rudeness (I looked at the variables, yes), but the friendly, casual approach gets her sexually assaulted(*). Sexy bad boy pushes her against the wall and grabs her chin. MC can then decide whether to get horny and give in to a kiss (+kinky points) or reject him (-kinky points).
This shows an unfortunate correlation between corruption and kinky points in this game. Being a decent person who doesn't condone non-consensual sexual assault gives you nothing. Negative points even.
As someone who prefers niceness, love, and romance I can guarantee that it does not exclude kinkiness. You don't have to be attracted to the bad boys to have a rich, kinky sex life.
Agreed, this IS only v0.1, maybe the dev will change the tone of the story, but I'm not too optimistic. Feels like the "bad girl" route is heavily preferred.

All of this together brings it to a solid 3/5 rating, which - for a game this early in development - is quite good I think.


A lot of potential, now it's on the devs to use it. I wish them both good luck!



(*): Yes, sexually assaulted. Her own words chatting with her best friend later are "he mugged me in the hallway".

Really great start here.

Firstly the art is fantastic. Genuinely professional grade. The characters, setting, scenarios and dialogue, so far, are also very well done.

In terms of dialogue, I particularly liked the text chat with Sophie towards the end. Scenes like that which allow the characters to reflect on events, especially the sexy ones, are *chef's kiss*

As the game starts there's a disclaimer that a coherent plot (and presumably character development and dynamics) are important to the devs, and not to expect constant mindless sex. That sort of a somewhat more realistic, developed and measured approach is very appreciated.

On a personal note, particularly looking forward to the developing dynamics between Alice and professor William and also Tom. But pretty much every other character grabs interest as well.

All in all what's there -- and there isn't a ton right now; it is a 0.1 release after all -- is very well made. The project as a whole seems to have a considered vision and is not simply going to be just a bunch of porn thrown together and featuring brain dead, flat characters stumbling into cliche after cliche.

Definitely worth your time and support if the general premise appeals to you at all as far as i'm concerned.

A great one. the story is realistic (there are no sex scenes per minute thing). And not too much teasing either like "no touching, only watching" crap in AWAM. So, good storytelling like this needs a good character development too
I hope Alice's character development will touch the perfection one day. Innocent nerdy girl to the most popular girl in college/ a bully/ smartest girl in the college or the slutiest one by player's choice. Not just MC we need other characters' development too. for Darren, I hope he won't be a hopeless nerd through the entire story. we need fights, drama, love mix with sex (not too much drama of course)
I feel this game will challenge "Being a DIK" someday. Perhaps better than that. This game has huge potential. So please don't abandon this. Wish the dev will have more support to develop this game

A contender emerges! Let's be real here, there is a dearth of quality female protagonist games on this site. In my opinion, there's about five that are more than just fuck fests (not that there's anything wrong with that), and this is showing strong potential to climb the ranks.

Pros

The game is absolutely gorgeous. The renders are amazing. Props to the dev.

Alice, the protagonist, is beautiful but also the type of woman whom it makes sense that she could either rely on her intelligence or her beauty. Plus, she's a redhead, which is a rarity.

I actually read every line of dialog!

The trait or skills progression is very reminiscent of ORS, which, if you're going to steal from someone, that's a good choice.

I like all of the characters, even if Lei is a bit on the nose in terms of her being a stuck-up, cunty, rich girl character.

Neutral

The tags are kind of meh right now, but you can get a good feel for what direction we might be headed towards. There's clearly an ex-boyfriend in her life, a close female friend, attractive black male teacher, and a submissive / corruption path.

Cons

.1 is just world-building. In my playthrough there were two erotic scenes, so if you're just looking to get off you will be disappointed.

The first half of this release has pretty great grammar (occasional misspellings), but it starts falling apart a bit in the second half. Nothing *literally unplayable*, but noticeable enough that you're paying attention to the grammatical mistakes instead of the story. Easy enough to fix if the dev asked someone for a proofreader (I'd volunteer).

There's a significant bug if you choose to tell Darren that you're not into nerdy stuff which causes skippable exception errors but afterward you're replaying dialog that you already had like Groundhog Day.

It ended.

Summation

Absolutely worth keeping tabs on. I don't think I'm out of line in saying that this game is indebted to ORS, but that's not a bad thing at all. It's nice to have another game with a female protagonist with character motivations beyond being a fuckdoll (not that that's out of the realm of possibility). I'm excited to watch this game grow.

This game aims really high! Love the arts and the characters! This is quite a good game, one of the best I've played recently.

Hope there would be a story as good and with so many options as Good Girl Gonne Bad!

fantastic artwork, starts very promising. hope ther will be more soon!

this is the most artistic and estetic game, here in the forum.
But I guess it will take a lot of time to develop more content.

looking forward to anyway...

In love with the art style (too good), hope there are more tags. Excited to play
Advice for the developer: strive for quality content than quantity (meaning take your time with each update to make a master piece graphic and plot wise)
Would be great to have Android versions.
KEEP UP THE WORK!!!

The Art Style is very attractive, And there's so much more depth in the choices that i haven't seen in any game i have played. I don't know about the story yet, but I hope it would somehow different from other games. I hope the developer keep making this game till the end of it.
