Ren'Py - Lust Theory [v0.4.5] [Inceton Games]

This game has great renders and awesome animation. Its was a great hook for me. save yourself life's precious time

My biggest problem with this game is it cuts you off RIGHT when your about to get what you set out to do, blowjob, fuck, even information. If you play this game, you will find it takes you probably at least 3 times repeating a scene to get where your supposed to be(by then with me all interest had to be reinvigorated).

Where this game gets its 1 star from me. This game is repetitive, like literally that's the concept of this game, repetition. You go through a scene, fail and have to repeat.

I really think this should be done in a two part review for season 1&2.

But to keep it short I'll just summarize and rate it seperatly at the end.
The reason my overall score is as low as it is doesnt mean the game is bad for everyone, the renders in both season are amazing and animations were pretty good in S1, but not so much in S2.
The scoring has more to do with personal preferences due to the need to progress all characters, the sharing and lesbo content.
Putting that aside I feel the story is quite solid in S1 and messy in S2, also domt like how MC reverted back to being a whimp after all he's experiences after the first looped day.
I guess some people are really into that insecure selfdoubting mindset perhaps idk..
I wish there was something deeper to this game then just trying to manipulate yourself into everyones pants, like romance/blackmail, sub/dom routes.
But overall it's a pretty solid game just doesnt suit my fetishes and end up making me cringe at the dialogue and the obvious girl on girl bias.

Scores
S1 - 3/5 Stars
S2 - 2/5 Stars

Echoes of Lust 1

What isn't there to like about Echoes of Lust? Funny, creative and extremely well-structured VN that was a pleasure to play. The models are gorgeous, the story is wonderfully rich and thoughtful and the dialogue is superb.

OK, EoL may have forever ruined any future viewing of Groundhog Day but hey these women are so lovely that I can wave goodbye to (the beautiful) Andie McDowell and dream of Ellie. And Megan. And Nicole!

Thank you INCETON for a remarkable game.

Absolutely fabulous game. Ultra quality of renders as well as animations. The scenes have a lot of points of view and BIG plus, good voice acting. Story is quite uniqe and the finale of the last episode was funny af. For me one of the best games I've played in last few months. 8,5/10.

Love the game. It has obvious MILFY City vibes, but it is still a different game.
Absolutely love the story concept. Who hasn't dreamed of being stuck in such loops? All fun and zero responsibility! amazing.
Love how emotions are portrayed. It adds a lot of engagement in the game.
Renders are great, obviously. All the girls are beauties with different personalities and vibes.

What I miss in this otherwise great game are kinks and fetishes. At least as options. Without that it's more or less just having the same sex with different girls.
Also, for now all the sex is build not on the feelings and attractions but on the MC being a transport device for his dick, that IS the main hero, loved by all.

Nevertheless, the game is engaging and it's so cool to see how the creator becomes better with every new game.

Look the models are hot, and the story is unique. This could've easily been a 5 star game if it didn't CONSTANTLY employ the same cheap tricks to stop the players from finally getting what they want. For example, premature ejaculation is somehow a plot device. It happens when the mc "isn't expecting to get intimate with someone" and even when he does foresee it, he still cums fast. So what's the point of repeating the day and knowing what's about to happen? How come he never tries to see if he can go a second time? After a certain point, the mc comes across as really pathetic despite being well-endowed. What teenager would leave a thressome behind because he came quick? This guy was literally balls-deep fucking his mom and she fell asleep and he went limp... despite the entire first season being about him molesting her while she sleeps. I know that repetition is a theme but you want it to give you results eventually. This game has far too much grind for the amount of actual sex you get (at this point in the story), and since the dialogue repeats over and over with slight variation, it comes across as lazy.

Also, the large number of renders in the changelog is a bit misleading since there are many scenes where you're just getting different angles on boob and underskirt shots.

Despite all the teasing, the game overall is still a good time, but after all these updates, there's been very little payoff for the mc. The most notable one was that first sex scene with the mom.

One of my favorite games to play. Developer doesn't push the updates with sexy stuff around, all in all great quality content. Sexy models, good gameplay with an interesting storyline. Hope, that more developers would switch vom rpgmaker to renpy.

One of my favorite all time and by far.
You just got to live a Groundhog day as a pervert teenage surrounded by attractive and -not-that-innocent- ladies. I love the taboo, the art, and despite lacking bit of action this is really a great game (and a good fap tbh ).

Of course you could say that "how come you can turn an hateful b*tch into an almost submissive cousin/roomie whatever, just within the same day" ? Well just groundhog it and I ensure you it makes sens.

I was a huge fan of Mia's adventures, I wasn't disappointed, but then again, I had the "luck" to discover the game at Ep 9, thus maybe didn't faced the frustration some other might have had.

God knows how this had 5 Stars. The game is so restrictive & linear I honestly can't believe a second one has been made. there is no option to repeat or further relationships with ANYONE in the game it has to be one of the most boring game on this site.

Pros
Nicely animated characters

Cons
Too linear
Character stories END abruptly

The whole story/game seems so amateurish, sure the female characters are nice, but the rest of it is just plain boring.

Pro's : Female characters are attractive

Con's : The whole groundhog day scenario is just overdone and boring.
There is so very little to the story, not much imagination was put in into this at all.
It has taken a long time for the dev to have any playable content.
Completion of female character tasks is very short, completion is simple and then there is nothing left.
Again the whole story/game is just unimaginative and boring.
Animations are average and very short, not interesting.


There are other games that are so much better, this one is just not worth the download unless desperation sets in.

+ Good looking characters
+ Interesting story concept
+ Good amount of options for many scenes

- Open World is a waste of time
- Render quality is outdated, they push out thousands of renders that all look decent, but not great

The premise is promising but in the end - nothing you do actually changes anything.

The game has interesting characters and good renders but it could have been so much more. I hope for a lot more good stuff in Season 2.

The renders in this game are good quality. The girls are very attractive and the voice acting is good. It really adds to the game. Gave personality to the girls and helps keep me engaged. I wasn't speed clicking through the story just to get to the sex. All around a good game.

i'd give this more stars if i could. i feel like this game has all the elements of being one of the best erotic games. i really like that there's voicing and overall it feels like the various aspects of the game from the sort of VN light gameplay to the voicing and script adds to or enhances the effect of the sexual content.

it does however feel disjointed in some ways. almost as though the game started out with one creator and then hired a director midway thru but i really like the direction it's going.

most of the voicing works however i think the older sister doesn't sound like an older sister in voice tone/texture that makes it a bad match for the older sister script and model. she sounds more like a mother character. i feel like the younger sister's voice actually sounds more like a late or mid 20s older sister character. i think the younger sister character would benefit from a more late teenage/early-college sounding voice texture/feel.

i actually think the pricing modelling is rather fair and actually kinda makes sense but i do think without a more unified and polished product, it might seem in bad taste in a largely amateur market. i think having multiple codes to remove ads is kinda annoying instead of just 1 code to remove all ads or having the game detect patreon membership ideally (like the NLT auto-updater/launcher). i feel like this game very much has the elements to be a competitor to NLT games in terms of comprehensive production quality (whereas a lot of amateur games tend to have for example amazing visuals but non existent or poor aspects in coding, often no voicing, sometimes no music, sometimes no animations etc. since they're often all being done by one person and don't have a budget to hire coders/voice actors/directors/writers/riggers etc.)

i do think some of the animations are a bit too robotic and almost break immersion slightly but it didn't bother me too much. it would be cool to see the animations improve in future games tho if devs are looking to improve in any way they can.

the whole sexual version of ground hog day premise i think maybe sort of makes this more easy to overlook than the older sister's voice texture for example. the writing is definitely hitting a sweet spot of realistic in some ways but ultimately surreal just like its ground hog day premise which i personally like a lot because hyper-realistic writing in erotic games don't appeal to me. every game is going for a different thing but i strongly feel like if an erotic game is going to be more realistic, it should lean toward surreal or magic realism like Dreams of Desire or this, otherwise i think a more fantastic sexual fantasy feel is more attractive than just hyper-realistic.

Good points:
+Great character models
+Above average story
+Great buildup without awful grinding, takes things slow and by step
+Has animations, which again are decent although they are more like 2-3 second ones
+Now doesn't have ads
+all of the main characters are addressed somewhat equally
+dev created summer with mia, which is also a good game

Disadvantages:
-poor communication & lack of consistent updates
-unclear future story and buildup,seems like the devs are in a dead end at the moment of where to progress
-They divided the game into season 1 and season 2, which means you cant play all the replays from 1 launhced game, you will have to relaunch it each time or launch simulatiously and alt tab in between.
-Not many sex scenes

5 stars just because I expect the game to progress better. At the moment it is a solid 4.

EDIT: The overhaul s1ep10 made the first season even better with animations and slightly more content. However it is not what the playerbase wanted. Fingers crossed they do what everyone wants. Voiced characters is cool but I don't really think they match to everyone's expectations.

Superb. The animations are great, the renders high quality and unique - not standard run of the mill models.

What really sets this title apart is the game play loop and story which is actually fun. I don't think I skipped a single line of dialogue. The build up to the sex scenes are also very well thought out and the incest and corruption is executed close to perfectly. Including the actual sleep sex scenes which are more than typical jerking off over a sleeping person. The choices are nice, the variety is there and a ton of content overall.

It's high on my best-of list.

This quickly became one of my favourite games. Excellent premise, brilliant modelling (which avoided making the models look similar to other games), and well written. Only played through season one so far, but very much looking forward to season two. Wonderful, simply wonderful.

One of the best games on site. Amazing visuals and writing that can match Dreams of Desire. Also gameplay really solid and doesn't need walkthrough to not miss any content. Game is like porn version of metroidvania where your knowledge and key items open new paths. Developer did pretty good job to avoid repetitiveness.

For a whole season the game was busy with dragging itself through endless teasing, cliches, cheap cliffhangers and cockblocks. Only to end up in square one again and again.
The story never advances anywhere, and it seems that the game was structured this way just so it can be a huge milkfest.

Characters have inconsistent pacing, progression or personality. You blackmail a teacher, then she flirts with you. The landlady is a alcoholic bitch, after one drunk night she's all over you. Same goes for the young roommate, she avoids you and after getting her drunk she is also into you. Some characters just feel like a distraction, like the cosplayer who just appears every now and then to either tease or distract from the impasse that is the plot.

I was hesitating about rating 'average' because some of the characters are fucking hot but that it's not enough for a game to be great, my rate is based on a regular writing and an awful pace.

I think bad pacing is the most common problem with devs and comic creators these days, they just can't get around this, it's like they are more concentrated in 'the likes' or the suscribers than the game itself.

Or may be it is their lack of life experience so they don't understand human relations at all (most of the cases it's like they think you can 'level' in sex like you do in an mmorpg game), and their writing skills are bad (if you are making a story you should at least be reading some books and learning your craft).

Sorry if this was too long to read, but I really think devs should be paying more atention to the pacing of the stories.
