VN - Ren'Py - Lustful Voyage [Christmas Special] [Scallywag Games]

[v0.4]



Audio:
Music is fitting of the setting and manages to create the right mood. Epic darksynth during fight sequences, which I appreciate. A decent amount of environmental sound effects to enhance immersion.

UI/UX:
Holy menu UI. I'd much rather see the boring default ren'py UI, than whatever abomination this is. It's ugly and confusing. The choice of font is questionable. This text is a little painful to read.

Erotic content:
Sex animations range from pretty good to really bad. The latter lack dynamics and movement amplitude and are overall stilted. Even in "rough sex" scenes the movement is still incredibly slow. Instead of proper SFX there are porn audio tracks playing on the loop. The biggest issue is that this audio doesn't exactly match the visuals and has a lot of echo. There is absolutely no buildup to sex scenes. Not enough creampies from MC. No gallery.

Visuals:
Excellent quality renders - overall the game looks very lovely, no complaints from me here.

Choices:
There are basically 3 kinds of choices: vanilla (loyal to gf), harem (more like cheating), and netorare/sharing. The harem episodes already heavily rely on porn logic, but netorare ones just straight up make no sense, no logic whatsoever. Even though the game is clearly catered towards NTR audience, thankfully for most of the cuck scenes there is a vanilla/cheating alternative, so there is plenty of content for both sides.


Verdict: so if you expect a meaningful story with compelling narrative in an immersive pirate setting - this ain't it. What this is - a porn parody with actors in pirate costumes with unintentionally comedic script and loads of logical inconsistencies.

First of all thank you for making and uploading this game.
Pros=Great renders, good looking girls, okay ish story, NTR
Cons= Game is pretty stupid when it comes to ntr thats not how it works.Girls just accept every dick in them they dont even question wtf is happening ( They are supposed to be Love intrests) and NTR means nothing our rival males are ugly as fck.Plus as i said it bothers me a lot like in a dialogue you refuse 1 thing and your beloved love intrest fcks nearest dick.(Dosent matter whos dick it is cuz as i said our beloved love intrests act like they are drugged 24/7 and question nothing.)
Also Corin and Yana... Man why do we hide them?? I mean we filled the ship with lots of women already but when it comes to them we have to keep them as a secret...
Overall not a bad game but needs little work on NTR departmant.

I doubt it will ever win any awards for its story but Lustful Voyage is definitely fun to play regardless, even if it does feel like more attention is given to the NTR path than the "vanilla" one at times.

Great renders, smooth animations, tasteful sound fx, engaging dev, and timely updates makes this game highly enjoyable to play.

Game is not even a year old yet and there are already 4 updates and plenty of content for most of the characters.

A very nice AVN. The renders are great, but some of the animations are a little stiff. I love the MC can choose NTR or no NTR. The writing is serviceable and there may even be an interesting story depending on how the game develops. I hope it is not milked forever. It didn't lure me in enough to follow every update, but I'll return to play when it is completed.

A lusty high seas adventure, filled to the brim with a treasure chest full of sexy lasses and hung Pirates.

The story focuses on a young man, ( who happens to strike an amazing resemblance to BG3's Asterion) who becomes the Captain of a ship with an all male crew. The only exception being Corin, who is disguised as a man, which is unknown to all, but the MC and his friend.

The underlying theme of the story seems to focus on the old/young sex fetish and how the older men find ways to coerce the young lasses to have sex with them, either by sweet talk, trickery, or deceit.

There are some inconsistencies in the story however, especially with the relationship between Corin & Dalbert, who later discovers that Corin is female. As the story progresses, females are eventually allowed to join the crew, and the MC inherits the Captaincy. Corin could have simply gone to the Captain and expressed to him that Dalbert was extorting her. Since she was already an existing member of the crew, and females were now part of that crew, the Captain would have simply allowed her to reveal that she was female and remain on board. But of course, this would eliminate the sex scene between Dalbert and Corin. So in the end, lust wins out over common sense.

The main story then takes a turn (as usual) which I was not particularly thrilled with, and hope it does not retract from the main theme as it progresses. The lighting also becomes an issue towards the end, whereby I found most of the renders to be too dark.

Overall, this is a very good game with an abundance of pretty lasses, hung Pirates, nice renders and explicit sex animations.

[As of version 0.4]
Excellent game. Love the animations during sex scenes.
Has little bit of magic involved. Hope it will show up more.
Love the NTR elements. Although I kind of enjoy the oblivious NTR, hope there would a choice for the MC to choose NTR.
Good character designs.
Dialogue could be a bit better.

@Scallywag Games Keep it up!

Rating: 3/5 for v0.4

To fully enjoy Lustful Voyage, you really need to lean into “porn logic”. Turn off your brain, ignore any expectation of logical character writing between routes, and just go along for the ride. With that in mind, here’s my review from a "porn logic" perspective.

Although the developers market this as a game where "you can choose NTR or not," the level of enjoyment for scenes feels very skewed. Lustful Voyage clearly caters more to NTR/sharing fans. If you’re not into that, the experience quite literally the "nice guys finish last, and they finish outside" type of deal.


Pros:

• Visuals and animation quality: Top-tier visuals, with stunning & down-to-earth LI models, a good-looking MC, and convincingly unattractive “ugly bastards” if that’s your thing.
• Choices are consistent, but in singular playthrough only to makes senses of it, either all-in for the NTR/Sharing or the opposite in one playthrough.

Cons:

• Unbalanced content enjoyment: NTR/sharing content rewarded more compared to alternative routes, even the NTR itself isn't as hot as it could've been.
• Lack of fulfilling scenes for MC: If you’re looking to play as a confident captain who gets to fully enjoy his LIs, this isn’t quite it.

Overall, Lustful Voyage might disappoint if you’re hoping for a power fantasy MC experience or well-built NTR scenes.
However, if you’re here for gorgeous renders, beautiful LI models, and smooth animations of ugly bastards fucking LIs with no expectation of any coherent narratives to fuel their motives; you're in for a treat.

This VN is personally a 3.5 stars for me, but I can see why people rate it higher because the "LIs" (feels too gracious a term, more like sex interests/SIs instead) and the sex scenes are really top notch, particularly the modelling and if you are an NTR fan respectively. However, the story is barely such, it's really just a means to get to all the scenes (the pirate setting is completely unrelated to how most of the characters even act), so if you don't care about that part, you'll be spoiled. You're thrust straight into a setting where most of the characters seem to know each other so there's relatively little character development going on, which leads into my main gripe, and I think the tipping factor for me rounding down to 3 instead of up to 4 stars.

The VN claims that the MC is in a relationship with Kayla, but considering he seems to show little regret whenever the player makes a choice to sleep around, it's hard to believe. I suppose it's easier to believe in a world where everyone is more than happy to just have sex whenever and wherever, considering how much the SIs throw themselves at the MC or others. The plot then kind of jumps the gun for me in the latest update, where now Kayla, upon being denied sex once, is more than happy to go have sex with someone else actively, and upon the MC almost stumbling onto them, continues to do so secretly. We're already operating on porn logic, so it's not that far a stretch, but it does feel like one step too far for me even within the context of the barebones characterisation. I'm no NTR hater (I play this game primarily for the NTR scenes) but it just felt off.

Being a pirate isn't some fanciful notion, some cosplay and fantasy event. Real pirates are cold, bloodthirsty killers who have no thought for anyone but themselves.
However, the protagonist, who absolutely fails to meet all of the perceived expectations of being a pirate, blackmails the captain to bring aboard all of his female admirers...the new generation of pirates!
I lost hope at this point...the pirate storyline is simply the backdrop for sexual shenanigans, and whilst I'm all for that, I was hoping for a deeper, more fulfilling experience...I came away a bit disappointed, it felt more like a soap opera...
Anyway, good luck to the developer...I hope your game is a great success!

One of the best ntr game.
But I think it will be better if the developer introduce bruching now (i.e. in this update Kayla and Ajit do the naughty stuff so in future only ajit event is triggered if she has already has sex with him or if its the first time then the dialogue should be different. But bruching and falling for someone make it more interesting.
But good work dev. I know its too much to ask as you involve lot of scenes in one update but please give update first.

Also I love Kayla and fisherman scenes most. Made long and steamy scenes between them if possible include Isabella too.

Really good vn so far, think Pirates of the Caribbean but porn.
The renders aren't top of the line but the girls look hot and animations are nice.

We have two or three paths depending on how you play.
- Hero superfucker or Harem.
- NTR or voyeur.
- A mix of both depending on what you want to do with some of the girls.

This is great for a game that has been in development just a few months. There is plenty of content already and updates don't take +1 year to come out either.

Version 0.4 Review
My rate would be 2.5/5 = 2

Lewds/animations are really good, no, they're absolutely fantastic - this s the strongest side of the game, very hot, sexy. I don't remember when was last time I fapped on pixels - but I definitely were close here to starting)

All other aspects of the game are just bad though - story, characters, dialogues...

I was attracted here by pirate theme, so, as a player who prefers story first - expected some meaningful story with believable characters. Wrong)
The "story" serves just for some transition between lewds here, nothing more.
There is no build-up in the game, hence all characters feel unnatural, they are not alive which takes away any immersion)
Relations between characters are not real. I mean MC and his GF Kayla - they feel more like fuck buddies to me, there is no affection between them.
MC jumps from LI to LI like there is no tomorrow) The same with GF.

Like for example your supposed to be loving/caring GF in 1 click (choice) makes full journey from faithful GF to fully corrupted cheating submissive slut. Yep, just like that - if you choose not to fuck her at night - she goes and fucks some dude, and even after you were looking after her she keeps fucking/sucking off.

When did it happen? - I mean this sudden change of heart - was she always corrupted like that?
During these moments you understand that characters are nothing more but mindless NPCs which kinda takes all thrill away.

Also- why making Kayla a GF in the 1st place? - To justify NTR?
I am not an expert - cause I am not a great fan of NTR in general, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that - simply making a char MC's official GF and then making her fuck some hobbo doesn't make it NTR lol, MC and GF never were in love to begin with - so why should I feel bad for any of them?
In general the game is more like same old "everybody fucks everybody" fuckfest.

In a matter of content I would say it's 60-40 in a favor of supposed to be NTR. Naturally story goes through NTR-route so from time to time you have to act to prevent it.

Anyways:
For vanilla players who look for some love/romantic story - nah, the game is not for you.
For players who look for some juicy lewds - yep, right up your alley, you won't regret it guaranteed.

Really good Netorare game. The only negative is that I think Tiffany is the best girl, and it seems like she has the least amount of scenes. I do think the corruption is a bit fast as well, but better that than it being super slow. Will be recommending this game over on r/Netorare.

This project is kinda interesting. I'll preface this with saying that I'm not really an NTR guy. Being a loser who gets cucked doesn't really have a particular appeal to me. However, I understand that some people get off to that kinda thing, so I'll do my best to give a fair review.

I think that this game is actually made more with people into NTR in mind. v0.2 introduced NTR, but v0.3 was when the bias was made abundantly clear. There are two big indicators: the sex scenes (no shit), but the bigger indicator is actually the story.

Story-wise, it's quite threadbare. It's actually so thin, that you realise that the majority of the male characters serve little to no purpose at all if they aren't in a sex scene. It's how I know the dev was more into the NTR despite not picking those choices initially. I noticed that in many ways it was like watching clips of a movie rather than the whole thing, it felt like there were gaps. I then went back and looked at the NTR posts (as I did with the previous versions), and there's just objectively more content, story and sex scenes.

This is an issue that a lot of games face when they try to do both NTR and I guess what I'll call the "normal" or "vanilla" route. In a lot of instances, NTR is effectively the default, and the normal route is secondary. There's multiple instances where when another character had sex, if it was avoided, the MC got nothing. Now, I'm sure some people would go "well obviously, it's not realistic!" as if literally anything about the game is realistic? Nothing about it makes sense. None of it is sensible.

The aforementioned sex scenes are good for both, however I'd argue the NTR ones have more time put into them. Obviously the additional writing may also help, but I saw an objectively greater amount of effort put into the NTR scenes than the vanilla ones, which felt a bit weird when you're meant to have MORE emotional connection with these characters as the MC?

For positives, the sex scenes are pretty good. The setting is more unique in the grand scheme, so it won't feel too repetitive, but unfortuantely the writing is quite trite and you will definitely see aspects in this that you'll see in a hundred other AVNs. There's not really a distinct voice to the AVN, which is a shame. It's not going to be memorable as some gamechanger like some other projects, but it's not bad by any means.

6/10 for people who aren't really into NTR like me, 7/10 for people who are.

Really like the game. The renders are excellent and plot so far seems decent. While the animations can be smoother, they aren't bad at all (just a nit pick). The nest part for me personally, was how the dev handled the NTR aspect. Didn't feel forced.
I for one really appreciate it. Many times developers just jam NTR scenes with no build up just to get to the scene.
Hopefully, the dev maintains the quality in future too. All the best.

I... don't understand how this game has such a high rating. The writing is poor in general, the dialogue during the sex scenes are especially porn-y and repetitive, and the setting stretches believability so far I'm left completely uninvested. In addition, seemingly every sex scene that doesn't include the MC, is with an old man. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't.

These are without a doubt some of the best renders, animations, and women in any game ever, I'll be real, I skip most of the dialogue, but once you see the action you won't blame me for wanting to get right to it.

[Review of Lustful Voyage v0.3]
Lustful Voyage is probably the best game that ever snuck up on me, lost in the bowels of Latest Updates section of F95. Seriously, any fan of NTR or NTS must check out this game by Scallywag Games.

• MC is not a spineless beta male NOR is he ladies man, he is just a pirate sailing the high seas, enjoying the adventurous life of a seafarer. He is not a Gary Stu (the male version of the Mary Sue trope), but he is skilled enough to earn respect from his shipmates. A great "blank slate" to project your own morals onto, an underrated skill when it comes to NTR/NTS games.
• The LIs are gorgeous, diverse... and a bit lightheaded, but this is a forgivable offense since it also means the good stuff starts quickly, and the ride doesn't stop. You have a quasi-familial relationship with them, though you are not a perv that secretly wants to bed every single one of them (at least, not from the get-go) - the "family" is quite wholesome at the start, in fact, which makes the next part so great:
• You get to choose which LI you collect in your harem, or let fate run its course so that your crewmates can have some fun too. Almost like sharing booty after a successful raid, but quite literal booty. And throughout all of this, the MC is neither jealous nor possessive about the girls having fun with your mates - quite the opposite actually, as the MC sometimes even arranges/encourages these couplings. A real bro if you ask me.
  • A spicy little detail to mention: there aren't any magical, handwavy-bullshit methods of birth control at play here, so it looks like there might even be some little dudes/dudettes running around in the endings. Another point for wish fulfillment. Nothing confirmed, but a man can dream, ay?
• The plot is fairly simple, there's no big bad or great adventure that signals the proverbial end, so there is still room for growth in that department. Most importantly, it is not boring. You don't have to skip dialogue, since the dev doesn't bombard you with nonsensical narration about the world or the characters.

All of the above combined results in probably the best NTR/NTS games even in this early state, as the dev is actively engaging with the fans and talks about future content.

Absolutely decadent game, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in the NTR/sharing/NTS content!

The vanilla and youth theme is combined with impeccable rendering, good presentation and hot girls. I'm definitely in favor. I really like this type of game. This game was chosen very well in terms of environment and concept. This game makes me euphoric.
