Ren'Py - Lustful Sin [v0.8.4a] [UnusualFishGame]

v0.8.1a

Game is great, has storytelling that doesn't feel absolutely cringe (maybe has some lows but is never to the point of *dies of cringe*). It also has a great amount of content and a story that is rather long.

Now my grips with this game and the way is being developed is partially what keeps me from giving it a 5 stars; first i think the scope is horribly massive for a single person to develop. The amount of main girls and also random girls you can find in almost any public area (school, beach, etc) is creating a flood of development work that feels.. unnecessary and annoying. Sure is nice the harem scenes, having different kinds to pick and choose and everyone has 3 positions and choices over how they are clothed, but all this is so much work on top of an already pretty ambitious main cast, which ends up making the updates less meaningful because there isn't new content for the already big main cast and is throwing inside MORE girls that aren't even to be developed or for all intents and purpose to be easily accessed from the scene collection place (only the main girls IIRC), they are just kind of throwaway to fill for different likes, which makes me question why have a big main cast on the first place if you are going to create many different side chicks to fuck. I think the focus should be the main cast only so each experience can be more detailed, feel more impactful and also would haste the development towards it's end. Then after the game is complete you can add this side girls on top, since they make for good fillings.

To top this off, each main girl of the cast has like 3 or 4 different versions of the HOW you get to have sex with them, even then i'm sure im missing some so is more like a total of 6 to 7 ways. Once again don't get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE the variety the freedom to explore different sub-kinks and it has a bit for everyone here, however again, i feel the scope of the game considering that all those 6 to 7 ways to get to have sex with the main cast, multiplied by the total amount, thats just a shitload of content to be developed which in turn makes updates feel less significant and the story seems to be suffering because of it.

With this in mind, while the game would be 5 stars once completed, something else that is also pretty annoying is the fact that the story has very specific and particular weekdays and times of which you can advance the story, if for some reason you forget you have to skip an entire week or go back to a previous save, also the schedule sometimes is purposely inconvenient without any real reason (like for the next advancing of the main story or a particular girl you have to wait 5 days or so and get her on a specific timing of the day), i feel this could be easily solved and shave some of the fat by having the girls have more consistent schedules and places where you can find them (which is normally the case when they have no quests whatsoever) and have a dialogue option to advance their storyline or just interact, of course whenever it fits for the story, i am not saying completely scrap the time sensitive events that need to happen at certain days (for example weekends because this is ofc within a school setting), but most of them don't really have a reason to be a certain day like a wednesday or something.

This game has been in development for quite a while and while the persistence is admirable and i hope to see it complete, i'm worried that this dabbling around with side things and the story always seemingly stuck in a circle of lack of real progress, just a series of events that happen, are inconvenient to the main cast or obstacles to advance, once those get resolved we are back at square one of "we don't know how to keep following on", so is small stories, adventures, obstacles and once they are cleared either nothing happens because it made no significant progress towards the main goal or new more obscure shit comes up if any progress was made which makes the progress come to a halt.

Fairly good, especially when starting a new game. My issue comes in with content updates. They are far too small. I swear I spend more time downloading the game every update than I do experiencing the new content. I do have to skip every 5 or so updates I see just to have more than what feels like 15 minutes of content and even then sometimes I don't wait enough.

Again the game is good and would definitely recommend. Just do not expect much content per update.

The new Gloria misson is superb. It was perfect. Please keep up the good work. I really hope this reach the devs. I really love this game because it's story is soo good. Absolutely nothing to complain. Keep up the good work. If you can please optimise the game because it takes noticable amount of time to load.

This game is so average it's a bit hard to rate it. Sex scenes are vanilla, and I don't mean in theme, I mean in animation and quality. Character personalities are mid, main character has no emotion, feels nothing, mind controls the girls and reverts their memory, so it's like nothing happened and it's boring as shit. Plot doesn't really go anywhere after the start. Sandbox gameplay is an illusion, you just follow the guide on where to go next. Character models are decent, and there is a large selection of girls. I didn't encounter any bugs, which is nice.

Yeah I dunno. You could do better, you could do worse. "Painfully inoffensive", is what I'd use to describe this game.

No mind control and corruption.
'Lustful sin' is a sandbox vn about a ghost of lust trying to regain its memory back. The description for this game is very misleading, that is you are not evil or a demon.
The game is heavily story-dependent, and your choices don't matter. I have no idea why the author just didn't make it a kinetic vn. It would be much easier to play if I wouldn't have to run around the map trying to figure out how to move the story forward.
My biggest problem is that there is literally no corruption and mind break. You read a ton of text, then make a random anime girl a doll and fuck her. After that, the girl forgets everything and acts like normal.
This is lame. The story is not enough interesting for my personal taste to compensate the absence of corruption and mind break.

Very good, looking forward to seeing where story goes. Some animations a little samey but the dialogue more than makes up for it in my opinion. Only issue I ran into is too many events sharing a specific time and day leading to tons of skipping empty days for no reason, could be streamlined a bit but only a minor inconvenience so not a big deal. Great work!

Literally the best Renpy game out there. I must thank god this developer was born.
The mind control, the customization of the scenes, all that is perfect.
Anyway, thank you so much for this work, it's incredible !

Honestly a super interesting story with some great H scenes. It isn't often I get actually pulled into one of these games without just holding the skip button, one of the few games like this I'm genuinely contemplating supporting on Patreon. Very excited to see where this goes!

v0.6.8

This is a pretty good game. A relatively interesting and unique premise to the story, little to no grind, decent, albeit samey animations (almost all sex is doggy style and come on, stop hiding feet).

It does have a few design flaws though.
First is something that A LOT of games that have daily gameplay suffer from. For some time you are on rails, doing something every day, but then a time comes where you can chose which girl to do something with and EVERY SINGLE EVENT is "weekend afternoon". So what do you do on mon-fri? That's right, click the skip time button. So incredibly engaging, isn't it? For crying out loud, spread out the events throughout the week. Also "noon" is used in like... 2 events... just delete it and keep morning and afternoon.

Second is mostly personal preference, but this game is using Koikatsu for its models, hence leaning into anime style, but why does almost every girl have the same hair color? If you are leaning into more anime style, don't be afraid to use colors, cuz right now the girls just look boring and samey.

Other than that, I can see this game being fun in the long run, I want to see where the story goes, and I really appreciate that it's relatively fast paced, I hate the games that go for hours without sex. Although sex events dramatically fall off in the latter half of the game. Which is very disappointing.

Best of luck in development of this.

Surprisingly good. Has good scenes. The story was interesting enough to follow, and enough things happen in the story that at no point does it feel like things are dragging. The system is interesting. I would like more possession content with further update (which, till where i have covered, is going to happen).

The draw of this game seems to be its mind control and corruption elements, sadly both elements are poorly executed.

Mind control is at its best when it acts as a subtle influence over the controlled - and the best games in this genre are ones where that influence slowly allows for naughtier and naughtier situations to happen, despite a characters initial reservations or outright dismissal of the act itself. In this game, you possess them immediately and are instantly allowed to go absolutely hog-wild on them. This means that there really isn't much more to work towards once you've initially possessed them (which is right away). They don't resist, and they obey willfully, hell, they even enjoy it, right away.

In my eyes, this game is just sex, and nothing more. As vanilla as can be. All as a result of its inability to explore the concepts in even an ounce of actual depth.

So then that leaves the art style. Sadly, the renpy anime shit bores me, especially without any proper hook. I play gooner games and somehow this game is the only one that feels like an actual waste of my time.

Very Great game with mind control with possession, I like this game with possession, hopefully add harem, and hopefully the creator make more scenes. The story is normal but sometimes making story per character is too short, need more story of character. Thank you I voted you

I've played a lot of games based around mind control, and none of them are as well done as Lustful Sin. The quality in the writing for the characters, story, and world is top-tier and very clearly more than just excuses for sex scenes. I actually look forward to the story and interactions with each character which is not something I can say of most games in this genre. The art is clean and there are even animations for the NSFW scenes. The NSFW scenes are also optional and completely skippable if you're not interested in them. There are quality of life features like the ability to replay past events, change your character name, and turn off the corruption mechanic. Lustful Sin is simply a tier above the rest, and I look forward to each new patch and the content it brings.

best story and sex scene , can't for Violet scene , especially the main story , I'm really curious of what happened during that 300 years ago , also i want to see Wrath sex scene , hehehe best game and the quality is also good, if this game still going strong when I'm graduate , I'll be joining to contribute this game too

I really like the girls and renders, but there's way too much boring dialogue for my tastes. Main reason is a very long conversation will occur and it's the same 4-5 pictures of a girl the whole time. If there is any game that needs a gallery or cheat mod, this it.

Another renpy game its quick and fast to the scenes and they are almost all repeatable or all repeatable. no grind or anything which is fine by me and the renders are quite good especially during the choice sequence during the sex scence, especially in the more recent updates, cant wait for more.

Yet another game with just the right tags but terrible execution. The mind control is a "have sex now" button with zero consequences, what even is the point.
There is no actual corruption either and what male domination. When you have the option to play more aggressive, it is a fake option because the game doesn't let you, I hate this the most actually. A game with such tags and it forces you to be some weird "nice guy".
Every time I see this game I want to download it because it looks so promising but then I get reminded, oh it's that game.
Of course the sandbox is absolutely pointless with nothing to do as well.

This Review is as of Version 0.4.8

Interesting plot. Very engaging and while it isn't a 10/10 story, it's still a fairly new game. I'd still give the story/lore a 7/10 at the moment. You play as a 'spirit' who has embodied Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Surprisingly, your character as well as the colleagues within the Deadly Sins are quite dandy people save for some character quirks. Despite being a gentleman, you have no qualms manipulating girls for sex. I quite like that personally. The game summary should've given you an idea what your role is (somewhat).

Now overall the character models and chosen characters are all nice. It's very easy to access all the possible sex varieties, although one of the sex options that I'd dub it: Doll Control or emotionless, is tucked away later down the story progression and not all the characters have this option yet as it's still being pushed out.

You'll see a lot of people complaining about sex positions and I agree with them. Very limited that I wish there were more variety for each character or even camera angles. At the moment as of writing this review, each character has at least 2-3, some even have 4, variations for intercourse but either due to laziness of the developer or just not enough time, the variations still sport the same pose and it's not very engaging. They're all basic Koikatsu Party poses and some models look a tad off when engaging sexual intercourse.

But if you want a quick and easy fap to certain situations related to mind control, I'd say this is pretty good.

Beautiful visual design choice with a very interesting plot that has a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to more worldbuilding and learning more about all the 7 sins. Dialogue feels mature and not overbearing, which is great.

The story is quite interesting, I came for the porn and stayed for the plot, the porn and the waifus
Jokes aside, it's a very good game, at first it starts out strange, but the more you read and the more you learn about the story, the more interesting it becomes.
To say something "bad" would I say that the sex scenes outside the story are not very "significant"? I mean, they're good and the animations are good, but how come they don't have any weight after the first time? I don't know, also the ones that are within the story or the first time are very good
good game, I hope it continues to be updated
