Unity - Lustful Spirit Hunt [v0.2.0.3] [LAGS]

A cute game with a great concept, pleasant pixel art and sound, which, unfortunately, is let down by unclear implementation and overloaded gameplay.

The visual and audio components are truly top-notch. The pixel art is excellent, and a lot of work has been done on the sound. It not only creates the atmosphere of a "haunted house" but also serves a gameplay function, allowing you to navigate the space and determine the ghost's location.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. You are in for a very long training mission. It's not difficult, but it is extremely drawn out. The developer forces you to try out all the ghost-fighting tools, but you only have 3 inventory slots for equipment. As a result, to use a new tool, you constantly have to run back to the very first room while you are in the third one. These 20-second round trips start to become very tedious after the third iteration.

After the training, the main game begins. Is there a story? Yes and no. We are shown that the main character is a ghost hunter, and his assistant is in love with him, but the story doesn't develop beyond that. You are faced with separate mission-orders without any overarching narrative. This wouldn't be a problem if the gameplay were engaging, but, alas, it doesn't change after the introductory mission. The only new feature is that almost all equipment and consumables, except for the basic set, now have to be purchased from the assistant before a mission.

This leads to the main problem - inflated difficulty due to clumsy controls and overloaded mechanics. There are only three of them: fear, stamina, and hunger. The main character is afraid of everything, and when the fear meter is full, he can't oppose the ghost, which will pull him out of his hiding spot and start draining his health. Zero health means starting the level over. I never figured out how to effectively combat fear. It's only known that it increases in the dark, and the ghost constantly turns off the lights before a hunt, and before that, it doesn't appear in lit rooms.

At the same time, you need to collect evidence and the ghost's personal belongings to understand its story. But due to the constant running around for consumables and the need to hide from the ghost, you simply don't have time to analyze the information and immerse yourself in the plot. One gets the impression that the developer didn't consider the story important. The question arises: what, besides the atmosphere and pixel art, is supposed to hold the player's attention with such gameplay?

The keyboard controls are extremely inconvenient. The key layout is haphazard, and it feels like the game was originally designed for a gamepad, which would have been much more comfortable.

And finally, I have little faith in this game's development. This developer has two other projects in the works simultaneously, one of which is very similar in concept. It's suspicious when a new game with the same idea is started without finishing the old one. This usually means the previous project has been abandoned. And given that the studio likely doesn't have a large staff, this game will most likely remain in its current state.

This is one of the most boring and tedious games ive ever played, how so many 5* reviews? Are people insane?
I only finished the tutorial and i am already out of strength to play through this slop
You literally have to WORK to get a sex scene in this game, and not in an interesting or smart way, just run back and forth for 100 times like an idiot
The pixel art is mid tier and all this ghost hunting thing is not even that erotic

TL;DR Good concept and art held back in major way by terrible game design choices. 3 item slots = mindless round trips for equiment = getting lost without any map; ghosts can decide to ignore your tools = fails = less money = more runs to unlock new locations because new locations cost waaaay to much money;

3 item slots mean you need to do countless trips back to your van to pick up more items. Hilariously enough the tutorial augments this issue by spawning each item one at a time for you to use it one at a time only to have you run back to get another item.

Among 20 different types of items you can use there is no map, which means you'll get lost in 30 screen locales. This is made worse by not linking neighbouring screens by the same side - you might walk right to get to next screen only to find out walking left doesn't take you back the way you came.

Once you learn the map you'll be able to scout the screens fast and find the one with ghost spawn easily. Obviously that only means you now have to run back to get more equipment. So you run back and forth some. But! It seems like even though there are supposedly 20 different ghost types you won't find more than two on any of the first 3 maps. Which means once you know which one spawn on the map you will be able to identify the ghost fast. Good right? Well yea, but this also means you will identify the ghost long before they are able to hunt you. Which in turn means you will have to just wait, literally doing nothing, for your fear to go over the threshold to spawn the ghost so you can finally capture it.

Access to new maps costs stupid amount of money. If you do everything right during a mission you will get 300+ gold. If you don't do everything right you'll get like.. 150? If you fail (it's not easy) you not only get nothing, you will also lose equipment. To unlock all locations it takes over 10k gold. Plus buying all the equipment and one time items... this game is not good enough to repeat the same mindless missions 40 times.

Last but not least - you'll find that ghosts routinely ignore what they should be doing. EMT scanner didn't go up to 4? It doesn't mean it won't in 5 minutes. You walked the whole house trying to record audio and nothing happend? Maybe it will next time. You're supposed to find evidence with uv light? Good luck finding the single handprint in one remote room. You were supposed not to find any evidence under UV light? Well too bad, there is some. Cameras should reveal some floating orbs? They don't feel like it. This issue loops back to 3 item slots - you'd want to walk the house with 3 tools, make definitive notes on the results and go back for 3 different tools. Well you can't!

All in all the annoying gameplay loop gets in the way of good low res pixel sex animation loops, which means it's not worth at all.

Greatest 2d and pixel lewd game i've ever playied. I dont really care about ntr stuff on this game cuz you can fuck the whole ghosts also there is no scene for ntr you just know other girls fucks with guys. I dont understand why lags dont update it. i wish this game was POV 3D.

It is one of my top side-scroller games on this site. I would highly recommend it. It has great art and gameplay. Also, there are a few Easter eggs if you can find them. this game is highly underrated

The game fucked my brain. Take a candle, light it up, drop it, take a candle, light it up, drop it, take the dagger, go back, take the candle, light it up, drop it, use the dagger but seems not possible cuz the candle do not light anymore, so take the candle, light it up, drop it, take the other candle..... Damn no thank you, the life is too short to give a fuck on this game.

After trying to figure out what to do for 30 minutes, I finally gave up.

Instead of slowly introducing you into the game by playing simple missions with little steps, you're thrown right into the core game with a long ass tutorial-slide-show on a TV.

There are I think 10+ different tools (like a video recorder, UV light, temperature measurement, a rope, and tons of other stuff) that you can use to spot ghosts.

There are multiple types of ghosts and you need to find 3 hints to figure out *what* kind of ghost it is with those +10 tools. Unfortunately, the tutorial is really vague. And you can only carry 3 of 'em. So you'll walk back and forth swapping stuff, not knowing how to even use them, not knowing what type of ghosts even exist and how to differentiate them.

Honestly, I want games to be just entertaining. Some depth is fine, but I don't want to be required to complete a bachelor degree in some game mechanics that should only be a light framework, supporting a story to make the lewd content hotter.

The 2D front-view perspective makes the game really fiddly. It's difficult to grab items and often you'll have to actively look for very tiny door symbols implying that you can change the room on that spot.

Also, it's not scary at all. A pity, could've been a really great game.

One of my top 3 favourite games on this site. The H scenes are all great and i really enjoy pixelated art. As for the gameplay, its honestly quite decent, unlike most ero games that are insufferable grinds, this one is engaging and actually fun.

Would reccomend over any Ren'Py migraine inducing text filled garbage that plagues this "industry".

4.6/5

Literally cant even get past the tutorial. "use the cursed dagger" FUCKING HOW? Game might be good but not like i'll ever get to find out. thanks to this shitty control scheme. Will change my rating if the dev ever adresses it.

Very solid idea to take from phasmophobia or just the old ghost hunting tv shows / trends back in the day

Stunning pixel art. The gameplay loop is enjoyable, not grindy or shallow like many typical H games. Tons, I mean tons of animations.

Also accompanied by audio which is a must for me with newer games honestly. Considering it's been under 2 years of release, the amount of content is very impressive.

Grindy, clunky, buggy. Decent premise but the gameplay is tedious slow, and ultimately not worth it.
In addition the writing in this game is as dead as the ghosts the mc bangs. Not worth your time imo.

H game developer who's currently split between this and another creation of his. This title is sorta like a point and click~esk puzzle vibe gameplay. Certainly requires you to use your brain, not a bad thing though it's unfortunate for this title the gameplay becomes tedious and slow as a result. It doesn't help the H content isn't really tied to the gameplay so much as a reward almost.

The pacing can be boner killing, especially if you're concentrating on solving the puzzles. While it's hard to reach any failure state, you simply don't progress until you play the story out. You most likely won't be able to get a wank off in time before you need to continue playing, as such I'd consider this more of a gallery game unless you enjoy the gameplay or edging.

Solid Game, really good concept and fun idea, but, too little...?

There really few games with this kind of concept, which is just, sad man... And the ones, that do have, are far too simple (No "Death" Scene, Little Animations, gameplay is short, or if is long, is because some gacha style thing), not that they are bad... They just... Could be more.

In Lustful Spirit Hunt, all the Girls have the "same" recipe of how to get them, and is kinda easy ngl. Now, I'm not saying it should be harder, but is just, that the Hunt is far too simple, they don't get you from nowhere, there are no chases, no special mechanics for them to get you, and things like that... You even get alerted when they get active, Bluh.

You are just running to get to know what ghost you hunting, and you get a guide of how to deal with them, like, you character is a ghost pro already, so you just do the things and don't get to discover them by yourself. I think it would be a better a ideia if the map that you go was related to the ghost in some way, and you would discover how to deal with them on said map, or something like that... Also animations are not that bad, but I don't like how they suddenly end, so is kinda meh. Well, there could be improvements, but I had my fun with it.

Gameplay:
Action/Adventure/Puzzle
Big up for making a porn game that is actually a game. Your goal is to capture ghosts, which requires a little bit of strategy (and tools). With the final tool being... Well, your own. Levels become bigger, requiring more thinking.
There is a lot of secrets to search and unlock, so there is quite a lot of time required to explore and read stuff for clues.

Story:
Silly porn. There is some kind of lore, and the author seems to put a lot of jokes around about himself. It's not a Visual Novel, which means dialogues are quite silly, and I didn't find much sense in all of that. There is also no erotic tension, lewd scenes are a requirement for the gameplay.

Graphics/Animation:
Pixel Art Graphics. It's nicely done, but it's also quite simple. Lewd animations are plain and repetitive. Like the delivery girls, which are just various skin/hair change of the same animation, Which leaves a lot to your imagination.

Overall impression:
It's a refreshing game, that is actually quite enjoyable to play. Yet the erotic/porn aspect is not the strong point of the game. The RNG can be frustrating, although necessary for the gameplay. But some content can be difficult to unlock.

After the first few minutes of playing I forgot this was a horror until I willingly cucked myself.

Great game. Gameplay is fun and the animations are nice. Levels get more complex as you go and they can be disorienting at times but they're all fun to explore. Hunting the ghosts is fun and at times I'd get genuinely scared facing a new ghost in a new map, but it's all worth it in the end. There's a lot of content outside of hunting that eventually makes ghost hunting a means to an end as well as an animation viewer that doubles as a completion list, a nice addition that lengthens the play time.

NTR is mentioned and is later visible but you can ignore it or just stomach it. There's also mentions of rape as well as visible rape in the latter half of the game which is not very nice but again you can just stomach it. Both the NTR and rape is unavoidable for full completion/ all animations which lowers my rating by a star but other than that I personally have no negative things to say about this game.

TLDR, this is a great game with a good mix of gameplay and sexual content, one of those games where you could play it just because it's fun, or just because you want to fap. Plenty of sex as well as side content. Has mentions of NTR and rape, as well as unavoidable scenes for both (if you want full completion), personally lowering my rating but isn't much of a problem, and you can access the rest of the content without witnessing any of these.

Forgot to mention that this game isn't hard at all(nor is it scary), but can be challenging at times, and you can also at least see every female in this game get fucked. yay

One of my favorite games on F95!

All scenes are animated and have sound, the 2D art is well-crafted in a slightly pixelated style.

Gameplay contains a great mix of sidestory, minigames, the main "ghost hunting" and a very balanced grind.
The gameplay is well crafted with various ghosts, hunting tools and maps.
The only distracting point to me is the writing which sometimes contain grammatic or syntactic mistakes. Nonetheless the wrinting remains easily understandable and it doesn't hurt to read like some of the more poorly written games.

Kinks:
- Heavy focus on anal
- Unavoidable NTR in text and graphic form, although focus is not on NTR
- Kind of horror, although there is no jumpscare present and actually not really anything scary at all.

Note: If you like this game, check out the other games of this dev, I love them all.

Animation is really good! Gameplay is a copy and paste from Phasmophobia but it's still great!

There's lots to explore and discover if you haven't played Phas, you will enjoy this as a game and not just something you would fap to. On top of this there is a layer of background stories that back up the gameplay, this is where the NTR element comes it, it's pretty light but the MC gets every ghost in the game while the other guy gets most girls. Tottally optional though,

This is a very good game. nice gameplay that does not become boring and a lot of things to discover using the hint that are placed in the levels. The animations and style are great. can't wait for more update

I didn't know what to expect but this game is actually really fun. An H-Game where you actually have something to do. You are exploring different locations, trying to identify the ghost that is haunting that place. You have different tools to use and each type of ghost will trigger a certain combination of the tools you use, making it possible to identify the ghost by combining clues. After you identified the ghost, you can try to catch it (by f***ing it). You need a certain tactic or tool to catch it first, depending on the ghost.

Oh, and the ghosts are all very nicely animated ghost-ladies who will f*** you when they catch you before you catch them. If this happens too often, you have to repeat the level.

You can find and hire different assistants to help you. All of them happen to be hot babes that you can f***, too. Oh and you can f*** some delivery girls. And some other girls. There's really a lot to f***, If you look around enough.

There's also a lot of hidden puzzles, hidden h-scenes, clothes for the girls etc.

Only thing I don't like is the poker-game. It's a strip poker mini-game. I really don't like those generic poker/fishing minigames but you need it to get hints for later quests.
Some of the levels are a bit confusing and hard to navigate. I hope, this will be updated.
Other than that, the game is one of the best I played on f95 so far.

A horny clone of one of the crappy "spooky" games. Nice idea, but those crappy controls and designs hold it back. Could be fun if you cloud hold all items at once, and you had to apply them well, instead of having to run around all the time because you can only hold two.
