Unity - Completed - Lust Is Stranger [v1.0] [The Architect]

The style and visuals are really good

Somehow this dev has made alot of the characters MORE appealing than they were in the actual game. Max, Brooke(damn she's so much hotter than canon) and Kate especially. The way their bodies are so thin and slim makes them look oh so good.

Gameplay is fun and engaging. It is actually more fun than the original Life is strange. Anyone who knows the game and wished it was a more hetero H-game experience rather than a poitical statement artsy fartsy telltale game will enjoy this "re-work".

My dream is to have Max locked in a basement and continually breed her, but outside that niche this is probably the next best LiS experience. Thumbs up!

I'll have to checkout the dev's previous game that all the inside jokes are about!

5/5!

I *really* liked this game, and it's an easy 5/5. One of the five best adult games I've ever played.

Pros:

• It's own very unique and cartoony art style
• An elegant and great story that makes perfect sense in regard to the MC
• Choices matter
• Excellent replayability (good/evil paths)
• It's one of the few erotic games, where the game elements feel organic and not artificially tagged on

Cons:

• It's a really minor one, but while walking around it feels like the art style is a bit different. I think it's because you see the characters from much farther away, so they seem more like "real" or CGI characters from that distance. That's a shame since the visual style of the game is so distinct. Also, the walking animation looks a little bit "off" or clunky and not natural or what I would expect.

Great animations and gameplay. The architect has once again delivered an incredible game with an amazing setting. If you are even remotely interested in Life Is Strange (or want to see great models) give it a try!

What a fantastic parody this is. I tend to associate the word parody with goofy, clowny stuff, calling this game 'a LIS parody' doesn't do it enough justice in my opinion. It's a stunning, extremely sexy love letter to LIS
(love letter (figuratively): A work that shows great passion or enthusiasm for something).

I'm not a huge fan of Dontnods episodic drama's, but I had a pretty good time with the first game. It's great how The Architect managed to capture not only the looks, the art style of the original, but also the backdrop, the atmosphere and the character depictions. Never expected that a LIS porn spin-off could end up so fucking arousing.

Playing version 0.13, it already has a considerable amount of content, especially since there are multiple branchings/paths following your, um, code of ethics. It took me a good few hours to get through it and once I reached the unfortunate 'end of this version'-screen I was aching to start over and see what the other options had in store.

What's more, I love this devs animation style, that afaik is seen in no other games but his. The sex scenes are absolutely fantastic and the build-up to them is properly timed. The fact that LIS' women are generally somewhat shy, introverted, proper, makes the build-up so much hotter and the payoff so much more satisfying. I could go on but eh, try this already and appreciate this legend of a developer.

best game yet from veteran developer
unique style, meaningful choices and most importantly - hot scenes
i can't dig the humour especially with all this wall breaking but it's not horrible
original game needs to be played before this one

[For v0.12.5]

Here we are, a Life is Tumb-I mean, Strange parody game starring an OC interacting and navigating his way through its world and characters. How good is it? Well, let's see:

(Pros)

• The game does an excellent job at replicating LiS's artstyle. Really makes the whole experience more authentic.
• Exploration is fun and simple to do. Not surprising since the dev has plenty of experience designing games like this.
• The story—while just an excuse to put porn—is engaging enough to follow through. It's mostly just doing errands for other characters, but the game delivers it in a fun way.
• The devs take some creative liberties for the characters' personalities, but most of them are pretty accurate and faithful so far. The ones who change completely are Zach and Warren, so don't worry about the girls being absurdly different or unrecognizable.

(Cons)

• The save system is unintuitive. Unlike Ren'Py games, you can't save whenever you want. For example, let's say you're trying to seduce Kate, and you fucked up the last part. Good luck, you gotta restart from the beginning of the seduction again. It's especially an issue when the section is pretty long.
• The dialogues can be wooden and dull at times. It's not BADIK or DMD level of bad, but it's still annoying to read. The devs should hire a better wordsmith to help them out, because I have a feeling that they're not native English speakers.
• So... Many... Triple Dots... No competent writer writes like this. Only write this if the characters are unsure, thinking, or trailing off. Use it properly, don't replace periods (.) with it.
• Cheating done by the MC feels inconsequential for now. After you accept Kate as your girlfriend, you're able to fuck 2 different girls at the same day. However, there's no sense of guilt or second thoughts for Paragon MC or glee and cruel excitement for Renegade MC. There's an option to say "I have a girlfriend" to Brooke if you date Max, but that's it.

Overall, it's a fun and sexy LiS parody that manages to capture the essence of the OG... well, kinda, with extra sexy times. Try it out if enjoy Life is Strange, whether ironically or unironically.

Even in the not quite finished state state i played it in, the mechanics, story, and scene composition are incredibly well done.

The animation effects and the characters look very nice and mesh well into the sex scenes in a way that is above and beyond what i usually see, with small movements and expressions adding a lot of good depth to the scenes as well as story

high quality, some bugs. I can't get past some of the mouse interaction screens but others work great. Not a lot of explanation on mechanics. The graphics are very good the interface is decent and the story is good.

★Chef's Kiss: this is a porn game that handles 'being a parody' right

Pros:
+ One good thing about the original game Life is Strange is that players can subconsciously apply suspension-of-disbelief because of how much the story tries to add explanations to the plot(holes); this porn parody of a game also does the same even though you'll need to keep in mind that this is not to be taken seriously like the OG game
+ Writing is pretty good for a porn parody
+ Characters are likeable enough even if you've never played the OG game
+ Player choice system (routes)
+ Decent humor, but it kinda falls off after the Wednesday episode imo

Cons:
- Artstyle is tolerable, it looks like paper-Unity assets like those classic browser flash games in the 2000s
- MC can be a total douche even when choosing Love routes, pretty annoying for a decision-based game but it doesn't impact the love-interests much
- They did my boy David dirty

Pretty good parody on its own. Even if this was a plain old dating-sim parody with no adult-content that uses fade-to-black for the seggs, it's still a good play. I personally thought that the other Architect games were mid, but this one was great.

Excellent game. Very enjoyable.

Interesting and unique story/characters
Fun game-play without the dreaded "grind" that is so common in games

The only thing I would like to see improved is the walking/finding and picking up items actions, which felt a bit clunky but not terrible by any means.

Looking forward to future updates!

One of the best Games I have played

STORY: In this case it doesn't revolutionize everything nor does it go too deep. But it doesn't need to, I play these typed of games for a good time, and it accomplishes exactly that. And it even gives you good enough choices to make, so you don't feel trapped with an MC you don't like. (4/5)

ART: Can be described with only one word, gorgeous. If you like the art style of Life is Strange, you're really going to appreciate this game's art style. And at that point hats of to the Artist who made it (5/5)

CHARACTERS: Every one of them are likeable and well-made, each of them also having a unique personality. Of course, some of them have more content than others, but that is to be expected given that the game is still in development. My personal favorite, Kate, managed to even make me turn my back to my evil ways. The only critique that I have is that your choices with the other Characters doesn't affect your relationship with another. But that may just be a personal preference of mine of that being that case (4/5)

GAMEPLAY: The game itself plays good and isn't grindy at all there is no point in the game where you don't know what to do or long phases without sex scenes, they are all welled timed and enjoyable it got some fetishes but nothing to outrages and the more spicier ones are avoidable for the most part which I like. Here my only complaint being the wish to have the entire game being playable just with the mouse which would make it more comfortable. (4/5)

CONCLUSION: All in all, this game is a must-play not just for Life is Strange fans but also those who enjoy well-made adult games. And in that aspect it strikes true, it knows what it is, and it does it well. I can only recommend it to you to play it for yourself.

This is amazing

Graphics look almost identical to the game it is parodying off of.

Sound choice is nostalgic to the Life is Strange Style

Plot isnt spectacular not a fan of how Warren was done, but Max my girl sorry aboutchya

Overall I recommend this one highly if you want any good H life is strange game!

Full disclosure: I have never played Life is Strange so I do not profess any in-depth knowledge of the characters, setting, or lore.

The game itself is quite well written, and the animation and art direction are both well done. Similar to Strange Nights the tone of this project lends itself to an almost 'creepy' vibe which I know from second-hand sources to be central to the Life is Strange games.

I do find myself invested in the relationships one can form with the individual characters, and I hope that in time players are given a bit more flexibility in how to handle certain events.

Wow! This is one of the best games on F95 i¨ve played..
Good story,,with losts of twists and choices. caracters feel different and diverse, the coding is amazing and graphics are great.
The sex scenes are a matter of taste and kinks of cause, but they work well.

Another good game from good developper eventhough there still haven't much content right now. But I'm really like the story and progress a lot (Every design path: Corruption, Good)

I'm looking forward to the next next, and final update.

shocked me with its quality. definitely one of the better games based on another property. having multiple routes and paths is always good too. didn't see any typos and encountered zero route bugs. if it maintains course this will be in the top 10 for me.

I love the story already and I do loving implementing life is strange into this and it feels like a multiverse world in a way. I do love this new feel and it has vibes of mass effect choices for real and I am hoping for more good content and more beautiful images and this is definitely gonna be one of those good childhood games for sure.

tldr: This is an excellent game.

In more detail, while the game has the standard hallmarks of a good game: a very interesting story, great models, characters you want to see more of, entertaining writing, etc. It also has a lot of freedom to play anywhere between a genuinely good person to an evil sociopath with lots of room in between.

I was especially impressed with the gameplay. There wasn't any sense of handholding, but I also never felt lost or railroaded. The decisions felt impactful, and there was enough context and guidance where I never felt like I had just made a choice to move the character in a direction I didn't intend to go. There is even a thought bubble that appears for some of the more extreme decisions that says the equivalent of "Am I sure I want to do that? It would be pretty fucked up." If you do, it doesn't pull any punches. If you don't, it simply moves on.

Sometimes underrated, this game makes good use of sounds and environment. There is clever humor, the plots are devious and interesting (even when they are silly). It doesn't forget that the goal is to entertain.

There is a pillow on your bed that the developer has taken the time to skin with a screen shot of the Skyrim loading screen saying "Hey you, you're finally awake." Easter eggs like that abound.

Lust is Stranger is a parody of the game Life is Strange, which I have not played. So while I cannot comment on how good the parody is I can say that this did not impair my enjoyment of the game. I can recommend Lust is Stranger to others who have not played Life is Strange.

Also, as a final note, this developer has a strong history of finishing games of unusually high quality. If you are looking for someone to support, The Architect would be an excellent choice.
