Ren'Py - Lust Theory [v0.5.1] [Inceton Games]

One of the most uniques AVN games out there!

Amazing technally, good looking characters and really good animations, though I must state that they feel a little bit like the same character models used by other games.

The story is absolutely intriguing and unique, BUT there is a big BUT. The fact that the game is a sandbox ruines the story for me. If sandbox VN's already feel repetitive, just imagine adding even more repetitive things in the game. You really get bored after a while.


I think if it wasn't sandbox and the story would progress a little bit more I genuilly think it could be top 10 in this genre.

Season 1 Review (only)
This is definitely what I would call a "AAA Adult VN" cuz I've never experienced anything like this before. Fully voiced characters, Realistic & Gorgeous looking models, High quality sex animations, interesting premise & really enjoyable gameplay-like I said AAA experience
Gotta give it to the VA the work is exceptional & it really helps with the immersion. It also satisfied some of my childhood fantasies like "if everyone in the world froze in time what would I do?? "

Definitely one of the best games I've played. In terms of story, it is ahead of most games, reaching a level enough to be played even if it is not completed. Although summer with mia was a good production, it didn't really take me in while playing, but this time incenton outdid himself and produced a near-perfect game.

**A 5 STAR QUALITY TOTAL GAME MAKEUP THAT STANDS OUT FROM SIMILARLY MODELED GIRL GAMES AS A TOP 5 GAME CONTENDER TYPE ON THIS SITE**

As a whole this game adds up extremely well, and while putting some pretty firm checkmarks in the boxes that typically make up a stand out from the crowd formula:

- Minus the mother (which for me personally is always the least important or interesting character role in the game, as the whole banging my milf mother appeal thing just isn't my cup of tea), this likely ranks as my own #1 favorite total game sum collection of girl models in any game to date. With serious bonus points given for each fairly standout'ish one being written in with their own unique to the story personality presentation. Ellie in particular being my own #1 hottest character in combination with that personality in any game period.

- Animations offered on the payout scenes leans towards top of the chain level quality.

- Tons of already in game and advanced variety sexual payoff content. Which if you are jumping in to play for the first time at this point in the game's development includes pretty much every girl in the game. The overall pacing on how that progression plays out is also very well done imo. For me it was nice blend of just enough buildup and chase leading into each, with a variety of different scenarios set up to make them feel hot, but without ever turning into or feeling like a slog before you get to each of the payout points. That says a lot in itself, considering the fact the game has a couple hours of sit down content to play though.

- I see some people making their knit pick complaints about the storyline not being unique. But that also tends to glaze right past the fact that this one does and implanted it a whole lot better here then in any other game I've seen before it. Basically succeeding in a lot of formula makeup points where others tend to fail pretty hard. There isn't really all that much actual repetitive grind of the same exact scenes involved. There isn't any you may or not progress depending on RNG factor. There isn't any picking this or that option ends up locking your out of other girl scenes elsewhere aspect. The sandbox the game storyline branches out into isn't overly complex by any stretch, and basically even holds your hand while walking you to exactly where you need to be through it's straight forward hint system offered on each individual girl.

- Writing isn't Shakespeare, and of course contains your typical amount of excess "obsessing over the MC's dick" dialog among every female character that most devs with little actual writing skill are always going to default to since that is essentially the lowest effort way to bridge the "the girl likes you" gap. But all in all it definitely ranks in as "better then most". With a solid english presentation that at times blends together a nice mix of good flowing dialog between it's characters, humor, and struggle. Little touches like the fact none of the girls are craving for you to "cum inside me. I want your seed!", which would make zero actual reality sense given the story setting, also add up enough to offset some of the otherwise expected cliche cheese as well.

So yeah, as whole this game gets a huge thumbs up for me, and a 100% worth the download recommendation. Other then the minor nitpicks I'm struggling to find much of anything I didn't like that is notable. I guess maybe had the dev dared to venture more out of his already well established "screw your family" comfort zone and spun this effort up in a manner that less leaned on that crutch, it probably would of even ended up being my favorite overall and most enjoyable game to date. But again that's being nit picky about the super rare game that grabs my attention long enough to fap 3 straight nights to in the 3 different sitdowns it took to finish it.

One of the best games that I never played. I don't understand why this game have only 4 stars... there ara a lot of worst games that have more than 4 stars.
This game have good models, good renders and very good animations... And the developer is always making updates. (one update every 2 months more or less)

Like all stories based around this game's main story mechanic it can get repetitive at times and a few times the author took it too far, it still makes sense and I find in interesting this but I can see why others wouldn't and I guess the author could dial back 10%.

Besides that it's very enjoyable as long as you like the the genre and I don't understand the rating, most 4 star games here are not as good.

This is honestly one of my favorite games right now and I always look forward to the updates. Let me make one thing clear though - this is NOT a game I enjoy for its intricate story or gameplay. EoL is a game that's all about the renders and animations. I mean, the story isn't terrible, but it is far from original. It's like a good action flick that you go to watch just for the action and awesome special FX. I don't always want to play an adult game that takes 3 hours to get to some lewd content ya know?

Renders 5/5 - Top notch here. Competes amongst the best-of-the-best.

Animations 4/5 - Very high quality and SMOOTH. To be clear, I don't consider anything I've played 5/5 yet in terms of animations. They are always way too short and the option to view it from other angles are near non-existent. EoL is no exception. If Inceton would include longer animations and various angles, this would easily become a 5/5

Lewd Content 3/5 - Plenty of it with minimal grinding. The balance of gameplay vs content is actually quite nice. The reason I give it a 3 though is purely because the amount of cock-blocking that occurs. I hate when games overdo the cock-blocking. It's particularly frustrating here considering the MC gets a clean do-over again and again. You can't figure it out after a couple repeat days?

Story 2.5/5 - Once again, not that type of game. Not terrible and not awesome. Easy to play and GREAT to look at. Turn your brain off like you do during a Fast and Furious movie.

Edit: What was bad is now worse. only good thing left is models and quality of renders/animations.
The latest ep, (ep17 a.k.a season 2 ep1) had 7500 renders. quite exciting on paper right. 2/3 of it is pointless and wasteful. once again the dev team thinks up ways in which they can add absolutely and utterly pointless content just to blow up the size of each update. the latest update came in at around 10gb, has more than 10k renders and 200 anims. but out of that maybe 2k-3k renders actually have any worth. and now NTR of one of the FMCs.
these 7500 renders in this update could have been easily used to progress the story significantly. yet they were spent on jessica getting fucked by someone else.
how is it that the MC just happens to makes the wrong choice for atleast 2-3 repetitions. it's just unnecessary and illogical content.
they could've told the story 2 times over with the size it is currently (season 1&2 combined)
The devs really need to get it into their head that unnecessarily failing multiple time only to succeed in the end is not the only way they can write using the concept of looping days. If all they are looking for is to bloat up the size of the game with filler content they can really explore a variety of avenues. the MC can go out into the world and do whatever he wants.


Old review: Full of crap excuses just for the sake of furthering the plot, which in hindsight doesn't even exist. just a guy stuck in a time-loop that makes decisions that seem to progress the relationships with other women even though the day resets and technically the women should forget anything that happened at the start of the new repetition. Thereby, effectively nullifying the entire premise of the game. if the few indicators that clearly state that the days repeat are removed, no one would even notice the game is supposed to have an MC stuck in time

Superb graphics that are very colourful with great and relatively unique looking models, the different characters are great and likeable but the setting is kind of interesting but the story and gameplay are both very linear with few choices.

The game can also be somewhat repetitive since many scenes are similar to each other, and many of the characters act similar in the sex scenes, which is a bit boring, but overall 8/10 from me.

Edit: Another game that went from great to awful. They changed almost everything in the game, the writing is totally different, everything is super drawn out and boring, tons of stupid sidequests that has nothing to do with the main girls or story... yeah, they ruined the game totally, just like so many others. 2/10

Living with 3 hot women? An original lore/story? Choices that matter?
Panic button?? Incredible. Unfortunately I have not finished it completely yet but I'm sure as hell this game is phenomenal. 10/10

The models are good, the story is like hell, I didn't like it at all! I won't recommend it to anyone. How should I be interested in a game with a terrible storyline! I prefer a new game with a new story with the same characters

Finished Ch 1 and now going through Ch 2.

Everything about this is great but what stands out most is the structure and pacing that hooks you quickly from the beginning without relying too much on porn logic. It also manages to keep it interesting through the entire first chapter which is quite long without any real filler.

Best game I've played on this site.

Haven't done a review in a long time. With how popular this one is, I felt the need to five my two cents.

Story-- Very interesting story. Watched a movie recently that took the whole groundhog day a little further just this game. The contrast is ridiculously night and day. I understand it is a porn game and it's going to have lots of sex. I just think there is a much better way to go about it. How the story is put together I think is very well done. My problems with it I will state later. Rating -- 5/5 (if it didn't have certain aspects) 0/5 because it does.

Renders -- They are top notch from when it first started and are still 2nd best compared to the new level up that is out now. Rating 4/5

Animations -- One the better ones out there with no wrong pieces of the body moving when it should be. No choppiness., etc. Rating -- 5/5

Other -- Ok here is the crux of my problems with it. First it is Sandbox. I know there a lot of you out there that like it, but to me all it does is get in the way of the story, which is why I play these things. Of course I don't play text only either so... yah... The most important reason why I don't like the game is instead of the MC trying to figure out how to treat people better to get what he wants he uses his time to get what he wants in the quickest way possible. Damn on how they care the next day because he doesn't have to see it. This makes for a increasingly sadistic, manipulative and uncaring MC. Instead of figuring out what is most important to the others he is manipulating, abusing, molesting, raping everyone until he can out the best way to get what he wants.. to fuck.. Personally I couldn't live with myself acting the way that he does.. I mean he rapes his own mom for fucks sake.

-- Overall 1/5 The end does not justify the means. There are plenty of others out there that have a good story/renders/animations without all the shit. I recommend you look at those.

One of the best game for someone that is relly for the sex.
You can just keep trying to get all the girls and they are extremely hot.
I really like Ellie route and sex scenes, really a fan of her ass =).
Jess also really hot.
Nicole also really gorgeous.
I hope we can see more of Amy.
And some assfucking for nicole and jessica

I finish season 1 and it was disappointment. First time seeing the map i was expecting so much things to do, like in Man of the House but not here. The game start is promising, but then loses very fast this good first impressions. Where do i start with this one. Тoo little quests, its just is not much to do here and some of them are too short or tedious to finish. Why you put so much efforts in voicing the female characters when this efforts can be put in more content and things to do ? I just dont get it. And the story is nothing special either. Well, may be its better than in Timestamps - Chapter 1: Unconditional Love but that's not sayng much. And that ending... come on. It's cheap.

Want a game that will make you feel Bill Murray's frustration in groundhog day? Look no further. Every advancement you make in the story (thank god for the hint system) will be like pulling teeth. The antagonist in the game isn't the groundhog day for a horny highschool boy. Nope, its premature ejaculation. Or going limp mid sex. The story is okay, but i gives me the feeling of doing fetch quests over and over again in a video game. The game feels like the embodiment of one step forward, two steps back.

Look, the renders and animations are really good, and thats the saving grace of this game. At this point I'm playing because I didn't sink this much time into this game to not finish. But it never really feels like your finished because every time you feel real progress is make you have to wait for another update. But that will likely be more of the same.

Incenton is a bit of a one-trick-pony. Corrupt your *not family* into riding you to kingdom come. Summer with Mia is a better game with more payout. Go play that one instead.

if you want the most original story, look elsewhere, this is your typically sandbox 'corrupt all the girls in your proximity thanks to a "ground-hog day" time lapse that only affects the player' game. You have surely played some version of this concept if you play games posted here on this site.

I still give this 5 stars because:

- story is fun, different characters in looks and attitude
- all girls are generally portrayed as cock-hungry sluts once they see a big cock. While we know that they can be a bit more complicated than that, it is fun to pretend they are as shallow as us..
- great models, great renders, great annimations
- in-game hint system
- voice acting (although some of the voices don't match the persona)
- corruption is done, nicely, and somewhat 'plausible' -despite the totally unrealistic story arch "time lapse".

All things considered: if you like to corrupt and to have a good time, go for it. If you like realism, gender-equality in games and novelty storylines
, don't bother.

Played only the first season, but its quite impressive, especially on the animation part, most of the time they are more than just simple loops, which is always nice, and the bonus renders, the multiple camera angles and different outfits, during gameplay are highly appreciated. Would love to see this feature in more games.
The story is ok, but it leaves you with more questions than it answers, the characters are ok and the writing is also ok, but nothing special, it falls apart if you start to analyze it or apply real life rules to it, but that is a minor nitpick on my part.
Overall it is highly recommended.

Terrific. Exceptional artwork, original story, actual humour, intelligible dialogue that's well written with few typos, and doesn't have walls of text to go through at any juncture. The "peeks" and bonus features don't get in the way and the renders are fucking hot. Great game. Oh also, no fucking annoying mini-games for you to arbitrarily suck at or be so easy that they're just a waste of damn time.

Inceton is an experienced dev, among a group where they're on their second or third game, and the polish shows. I'd love to give EoL five stars for one reason: The models and animations are spectacular. Good variation in looks, the mother/aunt actually look older and the younger sister doesn't look like a pre-teen.

But unlike some of the other devs who've grown across the board (and whose F95 rankings and Patreon subscribers show it), Inceton has only gotten better with models, animations and the user interface. The story telling, and especially the pacing have suffered.

Maybe it's the choice of the time loop format for a sex game. It was a bit of a VN fad a couple years back, but time loops have one crippling limitation: You're locked into a slow and necessarily step by step progression. The sex plods along a particularly long Stairway to Heaven chain, and the only way to leap frog that progress is for the story to make nonsensical jumps. And every time writing approaching reality asserts itself (girls who realize, hey, it's ridiculous that I'm fucking a guy I've only known since this morning), it just serves to blue ball the gamer.

I can't knock the game too hard, because it just looks fantastic. But there's a reason other games adopt mind control or supernatural angles: It gives you a plausible way to gloss over why people are jumping the MC after 30 minutes. Ultimately, fap games are for fapping, and the pace and continual blue ball resets of this one makes that pretty damn frustrating.
