EDITED for 0.4 re-re-rework
So I've played the shit out of Forbidden Fruit and it's many reworks and versions. ( I've even made a custom version for myself from the former renPy variant. I fixed bugs, edited the dialogue, etc) so I can tell Lyndaria is improved in (almost)every level.
The writing is not perfect but 10 times better than in Forbidden fruit.
The graphics are top notch, all the characters are very hot, the art design is gorgeous.
I must give credit to the devs because in some many cases they listen to the feedback. For example most of us wanted switchable genitalia (a.k.a. human/animal cocks) and the team delivered. (and not patreon locked BS like it was in FF.... yaaaaay) The majority wanted a Maya centric story and once again they delivered.
All sex scenes can be skipped, and those scenes are not just random encounters where maya gets fucked by some random "biggus dickus". This is a big positive.
The paywall and episodic structure are also gone.
Overall, the game's just keeps getting better and better, and if you still hate this game with all your heart, then I guess you should go and play something else, not a big deal, maybe Lyndaria is just not your cup of tea.
I only have two a few complaints:
I don't really like this episodic structure, somehow these "game over" and "to be continued" lines just kill the immersion for me.
Another thing is related to the writing. Its very cool that you can decide which sex scene you want, but the narrative and dialogue should be in synch with your decision. For example, the inner thoughts, and dialogue of Raj and Maya should change depending on whether they fucked before, or not.
Also some more build up for the scenes could be good, some teasing, flirting between the characters outside of the sex scenes. For example, the bunny boy and Maya are vibing so when they end up fucking each other it will feel "right" or "earned" IMO.
The next thing that bothers me is the relationship system. Right now it's nonsensical, you literally just click on the next scene and that's it, Relationship LvL++. It should be calculated based on character attributes, dialogue choices or favored factions etc...
Finally, I don't like how the actual sex scenes were cut into multiple parts. In most scenes that makes zero sense.(the one with Raniz is okay though)
rating:
four and a half kujin cocks out of five. With a bit more effort, it could be a 5/5
