RPGM - Completed - Lust Epidemic [v1.0] [NLT Media]

Although basic, it still captures what you want in such a game. NLT continues to excel at what they do, and Lust Epidemic was the stepping stone to bigger better things . The main thing that this game does well is present the NLT art style perfectly. Along with some solid story beats, and a cast you want to follow, this game is well worth your time.

When I downloaded this game I went into it with the usual fear I have when playing a RPGM game but emerged after achieving 100% with only one negative criticism.

I had downloaded the guide as a backup as I know RPGM games can get reasonable complicated and within 5 minutes of starting I had it open. The game has an in built hint item that tells you what you need to do but it can be incredibly vague and requires you opening your inventory after every dialogue scene to see who you have to talk to next.

With the guide open I had a blast and enjoyed the story, characters and sex. I am glad I used the walkthrough because whereas I don't mind running through a plain old VN to get Good endings/100%, running through this game more then once would feel like a chore (it flirts with tedium with some backtracking and when you have to slowly move through a hedge multiple times)

Overall it feels like a 4.5/5 if you are using a walkthrough. I will be checking out NLT's other work.

Great game. Horny MILFs, a depraved Nun, a sex dungeon and a solid story. Really nice animations and sex scenes too with a lots of variation and they are all replayable.
It's RPGM games so if you like that you can play without a walkthrough and solve all the puzzles yourself. I'm not really interested in all that so I used the walkthrough and it's a breeze.

This game is easily a master-class of the adult gaming genre. While RPGM is notorious for being...not so great...when making porn games, this game does it all the right way.

To start, the storyline in this game is actually cohesive, and fairly engaging. While it definitely leans on sci-fi (more-so relies on it heavily in some aspects) it is not SO far fetched from reality that you are taken aback when learning the inner workings of the events taking place. It is absolutely NOT a cookie-cutter "suddenly I've realized my family-member is very hot. I now randomly want to fuck them"...but more an interesting way to explain...like the title suggests..an epidemic of lustful desires and events taking place.

Now let's get to the characters. Each is unique in their own way, each has a unique look (not run-of-the-mill DAZ3D characters), and each has fantastic sex scenes. My personal favorites are easily the Mom (yes, I play with the wincest patch...if you don't you lose. Also known as Val) and the Nun.

Lastly, we gotta talk about how good the animations are. For a game that has been completed for some time now, the animations easily still hold up well, and definitely surpass most, if not all, finished games on F95. NLT really does put out some of the absolute best, if not THE best content adult gaming has to offer.

P.S. this is an ACTUAL GAME. You must play, not just read and watch. As RPGM games go, you must control your character, etc. While I prefer VN's, this game is definitely worth it, even if you shy away from actual games on this site. Trust me, it's worth it.

This game is an easy 5/5 and definitely in my top 5 adult porn games/VNs.

Awesome game! One of my favorites games, so far. The story is complete, having drama, suspense, funny moments, a little scary here and there, but very exciting. The quests are challenging, sometimes making you to forget it's a erotic game. Because are a lot of places to explore, a big number of girls and many creative animated scenes, you'll discover something new every time.

VERSION: 1.0 (Final)

Lust Epidemic represents NLT Media's initial foray into the gaming sector, having established themselves primarily as an adults-only CG comic creator, a fact that shines through in the lackluster gameplay and is elevated almost exclusively by their art.

The novel attempt at intertwining their narrative in the expanded universe of their comics is marred by minor yet prolific errors throughout the script, from failing to appropriately capitalize terms ("He was looking for father parker...") to missing punctuation ("They want to take our students Dear.") and baffling grammar ("A women like you must have everything..." OR "And is has to be asked..." OR "I can't not handle who you are.") Humorously, of the many words they misspell several are among those you'd expect a pornographic studio to know ("Masterbating").

Worse yet, the design itself is nonsensical: when asked to locate a book with a purple cover the obvious location for such things, the library, will yield absolutely nothing. No progress, no clues. You must enter the women's bathroom, locate a keycard on the floor, use that to break into a random office, employ a key (discovered elsewhere) to open the desk in said office, thereby acquiring another keycard for the adjoining room where, lo and behold, you'll find the purple book!

Straightforward, huh?

The game, essentially, requires a walkthrough if the player wishes to progress at a reasonable rate or, at the least, accustom themselves to routinely checking the Crystal Ball for hints. It's shoddy design and prone to collapsing if challenged. Even should you be aware of a "puzzle" solution or item's location, you'll be incapable of solving them until the designer deigns it possible. When the logic that determines your progress on a linear path is so circuitous as to leave the player stumbling about blindly, or to impede any attempt at resolving conflicts with alternative solutions, the designer has failed.

This extremely roundabout method of quest-progression, reminiscent of a Metroidvania title designed by a team that had only vaguely heard how they function, persists throughout the entire game. Most of your time will be spent matching keycards to random doors, acquiring an item or two in order to obtain another, hoping that the chain will eventually culminate in a scroll entitling you to perform some form of sexual act with one of the women.

Sadly, even in that respect there's disappointment to be found: most of the scrolls, if discovered as they become available, relate to acts the women are initially unwilling to perform. Rather arbitrarily each will increase in affection for the protagonist (as dictated by a six-point heart meter) that, in turn, unlocks the types of sexual activity in which they're willing to engage. Consequently, you are repeatedly foiled when attempting to escalate a physical relationship with any given woman and have no control, whatsoever, regarding whom the protagonist pursues. Say, for example, you wish to increase your relationship with Valerie such that you can transition from mere handjobs to something more intimately penetrative: you're entirely out of luck. Your progress is at the designer's whim and no amount of desire or preference will alter the rate at which you acquire hearts, unlock scrolls or engage with any of the women.

This tedious design principle also significantly extends the playtime; I'd speculate that, if ported as a visual novel in the Ren'Py engine, the game could be completed in no more than two hours. As is, Lust Epidemic will require more if played with a walkthrough and exponentially more if attempted without guidance. For the record, my 100% playthrough demanded no less than 9 hours and 12 minutes (arguably, much of that time was spent attempting to progress without a guide and a significant portion in browsing the erotica).

That much aside, there's no denying the redeeming factor: the sex scenes.

Lust Epidemic puts most games to shame with its sheer variety of infinitely-loopable animations, from teasing and breast play, to oral, anal and vaginal scenes, including lesbian and group content. Although those added in later updates are of higher quality, as a whole the animations encompass ample motion to convey a sense of genuine fluidity (with physics being applied to the breasts, ass and legs). Clothed portions are stiff but serviceable, and facial expressions often remain fixed, but never so much as to be distracting.

Graphically, the models are unique, particularly in a field so dominated by Poser-based constructs, reflecting a clear artistic choice to approach realism without necessarily aiming for a realistic asethetic. Hardly cartoonish, the women nonetheless fall somewhat shy of the typical high-resolution characters seen elsewhere and, undoubtedly, will age dramatically better as such.

Acknowledgement of the audio should also be made; although the sound effects are primarily drab, undoubtedly derived from stock sources, the erotica accompaniement is well orchestrated and the female dialogue is often voiced. The musical score itself is almost entirely lacking, failing to include any track that is even remotely memorable, yet provides some atmosphere during the mundane gameplay.

Among the developer's lesser foibles are the routinely overlooked details, some of which are outlined below...

• The game begins somewhat after dusk, during a storm courtesy of an approaching hurricane; appropriately, the "weather app" on the home screen of the player's phone displays the atmosphere as cloudy-with-lightning and a rather unusual temperature of 84 degrees. As the game progresses over the course of several days, whether it is noon on a sunny day or the deepest, darkest moment of night, the display will never alter in the slightest: it's always the middle of an extremely hot rainstorm.
• The entire cast, during the last interactive gameplay sequence, escape by crossing a ravine across which you've fashioned a makeshift bridge with a metal ladder. The security guard remarks that it's a little weak, but should hold so long as it's supporting only one person at a time. The scene then displays the characters striding across it in groups of two and three.
• In order to reach the aforementioned ladder-bridge area you must ascend a cliffside. To accomplish that feat, the protagonist was required (earlier in the game) to acquire specialized climbing footwear. Somehow the entire cast manages it without that benefit: a fat and lazy kid, a pregnant young girl, a man with a broken leg and a veritable bevvy of MILFs in high-heels.

GRAPHICS --------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 10
+ Ensemble cast that runs the gamut from teenage girls to curvacious women, along with a smattering of rather unattractive male models, each depicted in a style that encompasses the best of realistic and cartoon aesthetics
+ Animations that span the conceivable scope of consensual sexual activity, each with various looped phases; decent, if limited, motion throughout the body that enhances their fluidity
+ Ability to acquire and alter, at whim, the women's attire during erotic sequences including a rudimentary X-ray system for visualizing the moment of orgasm
+/- Most erotic sequences include multiple perspectives, sadly without direct control
DIALOGUE --------------------------------------------------------- 4 / 10
+ Decent characterization, albeit of overwhelming unlikable individuals, in a script that delivers some passable sense of mystery
+ Several scenes, notably the erotic, possess voice acting to enhance the mood
+/- No player-agency in the script, whatsoever, least of all during pivotal moments of interaction; strictly linear storytelling and reliance on heavily-scripted sequences may alienate certain players
- Grammatical and typographical errors aplenty, though most are relatively minor
- Stereotypical personalities across the board, including ascribing oafish attributes to the heavyset character, nerdy to the short, spindly young man with an ill-fitting haircut and a slutty persona to the woman who owns multiple sex toys
- Dialogue during the erotic scenes is of varying quality; detracts from the action when certain exclamations appear more robotic than empassioned
GAMEPLAY -------------------------------------------------------- 5 / 10
+ Extensive playtime and inclusion of minor puzzles, in line with most adventure-types on the RPGMaker engine
- Tedious moment-to-moment interaction with arduous chained activites required to achieve simple tasks
- Does not permit experimentation (using items outside of their pre-designated points, such as a shovel to shear the limbs of a shrub) nor non-linear acquisition (obtaining said shovel prior to the moment the designer dictates)
- Requires an overreliance on the hint system, or access to a walkthrough, in order to meaningfully progress
INNOVATION ----------------------------------------------------- 7 / 10
+ Adventure and mystery aspects are reasonably developed, while expanded narrative universe of NLT Media products (comics) enables fans to relish interacting with their favorite characters via a unique medium
+ Erotic animation scene replay and free-choice "Play" area are extensive, allow for a decent array of input and are easily navigated
- No player-agency in gameplay or dialogue
- No respect for player preference where the love interests are concerned; the player is incapable of altering how the protagonist interacts and may not avoid undesired amorous activities

SCORE =============================== 26 / 40
WORTH PLAYING... PROVIDED YOU HAVE THE TIME, TISSUES AND A GUIDE
Recommending Lust Epidemic on the basis of its female cast and sexual content is an uncomplicated affair, requiring scant equivocation for fans of big-breasted mature women; however, players interested in a more niche array of women, a sophisticated story, particularly likeable protagonist or gameplay that elevates itself above tedium may require more convincing. Even so, players are likely to find something rewarding if only after downloading a complete savefile.

Oh my god what a game with super graphics and gameplay and ___ somes that (Brad) he gets
Man he is one lucky bastard and they also continued with the sequel treasure of nadia that is even better keep it up nlt media.....

Damn man!....This is how one must make a Game of this genre..Everything was on point: The story,the music, The animation, graphics omg. Kudos to the Dev.! Waiting to play the treasure of nadia as soon as its completed

An amzaing lewd video game i has ever play, actually this is the fist westernd lewd game i had play, i used to play illusion but the story line never got this deep, love the nun character and very looking for completed version of treasure of nadia, thanks mod anf admin for bring this to us.

I dont played through and deleted because it was so boring.In the game you never really know what to do i always had to use the crystal for hints.The characters are lame,the story is too low quality and the gameplay is so overcomplicated and meaningless.I dont know why everybody giving such a high ratings.Its a disappointment for me.

Story driven porn games usually make me bored as hell, but this, this is something different. The dark atmosphere makes you want to release the tension in your body while still being aroused from characters and events that take place. The puzzles and hidden items are very easy that the flow of the game is not interrupted by frustration, also having the ability to have hints in-game really makes the gameplay enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend checking out current NLT media games or future releases and also supporting them. Have a happy wank!

Story, models and animations are biggest strength of this game. one of the best render quality we ever have. Gameplay is smooth,bug free contents. Interface is little complicated to understand first. This game has huge contents, one of the best game I played so far.

not bad but not great either, actually pretty far from it.
I freakin hate the main character, his writing is terrible, and the writing in general is pretty bad, unless you are just looking for some generic porn movie dialogue.
The characters and animations are pretty good though, and the gameplay could be great if not for the huge amount of backtracking, not to mention that the progression does not make any sense sometimes. The hint function will be your best friend, but even with the hint you can get stuck not knowing what you need to do next.
Overall its ok i guess.

I'm very conflicted about this game. On one hand, the puzzle and mystery-style premise, the rather self-contained map (no weird open world with way too many rooms), and the fantastic character writing is all great. I honestly loved the writing, it was funny and it was entertaining.

On the other hand, I liked it more than I liked the sexual content. Maybe it just wasn't hitting my kinks, but I found myself more engaged with Elizabeth's attempts to rehabilitate herself than I was with the MC trying to bang her. And therein is the worst point of the game: the main character. This obnoxious little edgelord who's just drugging and raping all the gals, he honestly just turns me the hell off. I played Treasure of Nadia and at the least main character is stupid enough to not be so much of an edgelord. Lust Epidemic's MC felt much more like a 2000s tumblr/4chan character of a "nice guy striking back". Just too much of an asshole, man's not hot.

On the other hand, I enjoyed most of the other characters, and I appreciated that the game took the time to constantly put the state of its characters into flux i.e. you don't know who's the real big baddie and where everyone stands until the end.

Because it was so well made, i can't give it below a 3, in honesty my rating is more of a 3.5, but all the porn in the game was the least interesting part of it, so 3 it is.

I dont like unfinished games so i waited a along time for this one to be done. And I had a lot of Fun Playing this one and would play it again when i get some free time would be nice to have a Play+ mode when you replay it to have some cloth options

The game is perfect.
Loved the story and the universe created is very promissing with Treasure of Nadia. The models are perfect with very good variety and the animations are very well made.
Best game I ever played in the genre.

I come for the girls and i stay for the plot.
The story is interesting and the protagonist becomes more and more charismatic through the game.
The girls are sexy and unique. The animations are improving through the game.
The sequel seems really promising, I can wait to check it up.

I'm giving it two stars because it's completed. Otherwise it's a boring story that says "here's a mystery..." and then expects you to be intrigued by exactly that much setup.

It's lame gameplay in that it has you running all over picking up items deliberately across the map to extend gameplay time, and it's all pointless and arbitrary just to unlock the next level with each girl.

And then what you do unluck is short and passionless because you don't care about or know any of the characters and the graphical presentation is weird with the models superimposed atop a lame RPGmaker background.

The MC is unlikeable. Every character is unlikeable. The sex mostly comes from a magic potion and has zero charm or seduction. Everything about this is very lazy and uninspired.

And the quest system is so random that a walkthrough is a must. I used the ingame "crystal ball" hints for everything after the first quest and only found that because I had no idea what I was doing in the first quest and was just clicking around.

There is no back button. Save/load is hidden inside an inventory item. And so was the exit which I have rarely been happier to find.

I have no idea why this is rated so high and can not understand the glowing reviews I've read for this game.

This is an extraordinary high quality erotic VN. Excellent story-line. Good suspense. Good humor. Nice animation and voice. Only if there were more variants in body models.
It was quite an experience to play this game.

I actually skipped the sex scenes and played it because of its story. Not kidding.
I'm generally into femdom and got disappointed regarding that. The quality of the characters details are not high end from my point of view. The sex scene are rather repetitive. Or lets say, when it comes to images and animations, it is always hard porn. Over the course of the game it just tends to be more women included at the same sex scene. The game would benefit from some more visuals that focus on erotic pictures between all the porn. From my point of few, all the animations are not that necessary.
But still, played it because of the story. That is a rather big achievement for such a game.
