Ren'Py - Melatonin Magiks [Ch.4 v1.0 Public] [LaCokaGaming]

This game is on an insane mixture of drugs that makes it hurt the eyes and brain in equal measure, so, to best enjoy, turn your brain off, take your dick out, and jerk off to the hot sex and well done waifus, mostly skimming the story and plot holes. Worth playing just for the sex tbh

Great game really love it hope you can add more animated videos inside it especially the one with great music,btw Can someone get me a screenshot for the ost names from chapter 3, been searching for them but can't find all I'm sure its for Erlax but there's alot of videos

Story 1/5
Story what story?, im just so tierd of mindless fuckfest games that leaving you no options to say no to fucking someone, it also means fetishes will be forced on you as well, so game just becomes a big turn-off time and time again.

Already from the very start it forces a girl furry/beast/monster on you, i did like her but it dosent change the fact that shes forced and that means it will happen again with other girls you might even hate.
2 seconds later next girl/robot? or whatever the fuck she is, is forced on you even though you pick trow her out? so yeah fake choices where it all just leads to one kinetic route, oh and lesbian shit is forced on you here as well...

Then you got to sleep and wake up for the 3rd girl forced on you i mean what the fuck is this game even about? this time forced big tit fetish on you as well...i quit after that since i seriously couldent play this garbage.
I tried to fast forward to next girl which you have a choice to say no with? i mean why? why start giving you a choice after forcing 3 girls on you in the frist 5 mins? but dont worry it goes stright back to forcing yet another bimbo on you....i mean just no....

This is all within the first like 5 mins of gameplay? its like theres no story it just goes from forced sex to forced sex scenes, how this can be rated so high i will never understand.

Also dont like when you just fuck anything that moves without knowing anything about them, 0 relationship build up so just saying hi then go stright to sex scenes is pointless and truely boring as hell, might as well go watch hentai on a porn site.

Girls 4/5
There is some pretty cute girls and some really ugly bimbos, if everything wasent forced on you it could have been a damn good one....

Animation 3/5
Some are pretty decent but some are very shitty where dick goes through skin and not into a hole which makes it look like shit.

Music 3/5
Its pretty decent background stuff.

Choices 1/5
Well there is none, girl, kinks, fetishes is all forced on you.

Sandbox 1/5
No real reason for it, you still follow a kinetic questline and quests are tied together so all freedom is removed due to that.

Not sure why people has rated this so highly, maybe most just look at animations and skip everything else, that would explain it, but personaly im more into story, choices, relationship build ups and so on and game has none of that.
To me its more importen to get to know the characters then just to fuck them, when its just a mindless fuckfest with characters you know nothing about you never get to feel anything for anyone making the sex scenes points and boring.

I simply just cant rate this higher then a 1 since i just couldent play it due to not having anything of the stuff i like.

I'll keep this review as simple as the game itself is.
This game GETS it.

It's just good fucking porn and it doesn't have to be anything else.
There's no pretense, nothing grandiose, no own fart sniffing.
It just puts you into a setting to fuck as many girls as possible, hits you with abhorrent humor, introduces various characters rapid fire with no sense of order and showers you in high quality CUSTOM sex scenes to the point you can forgive it being generic looking Koikatsu stuff.

... It's a goddamn porn game - what else could you want? We aren't here to read the next Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and the game understands that - so it doesn't waste a single damn second of your time, all the while only getting better and better at it's sexual content... because THAT IS WHAT MATTERS! The entire game is made around making it as quick and easy as possible to go from sex scene to sex scene.

You'll roll your eyes at some of the dialogue, sure, but the saving grace is that it feels somewhat self-aware about how dumb it is and doesn't try to come off as anything else other than good smut - with the smut dialogue itself being pretty damn satisfying so it delivers on all the octaves it should.

There's quantity AND quality going on here. This is what I call a goddamn well focused game!
How many times do you see a porn game and just ask yourself: what is it doing on sites like this? When it's clearly aiming higher than it can reach and obviously has no actual interest in porn, only using it as a carrot on a stick to fund their middle school written idea?

Well, this game exists and it should inspire many more of similar vein to be made by people who ACTUALLY like these sort of games.
My only real complaints are that some fetishes might be missing that feel like they would fit in here, but even that is something that can be easily fixed in the future so I won't sweat it.

Don't go into this game expecting anything other than anime coochie and you'll leave more than happy. This simple delivery on this simple wish warrants a full score from me. This is what I want to see more of instead of fraudulent shit.

I have no complaints about this game, it certainly deserves the 5 stars, sometimes I get a little confused with the content transitions, not knowing what the connection of one event with the other.. and I kind of lose myself with what they are talking about .. but it's really one of my favorite games here, the animations of the scenes are perfect, it's the game with the most animated CG I know here, it must have been a lot of work haha, but if I had to say one thing that I don't like in the whole game, since I finished the 3 chapters now, is that tom boy is not avoidable, I kind of have to have sex with her and pay attention to her if I want to continue the story, not everyone likes a woman who looks like a man, and that ending there and the attention she receives in the game is much greater than the other characters, she is the one who always ends up next to the protagonist... why not put anyone other than tom boy? but in the end... I recommend the game yes, I will certainly follow the development.

review for version ch.3 v3.0.

One of the funniest games i've played, bit cringe too, but the good kind of cringe.
Girls are cute, lots of lewds, lots of memes, some comfy ass scenes, pretty good OST.
Update more, i need it.

I tried drugs two times in my life.

The first time, I burnt my throat. The second time, I puked. After that, I decided, no drugs for me.

I like WTF content, but here it's a little too much. No, not just a "little" too much, just too much.

I don't know if there will be meaningful content or a story later on, but I'm probably 1 hour into it and right now I don't even understand why the author even bothers writing text.

And why I'm even bothering reading it if 99% of the "game" is just stock animation from another game with added "text", why not play that other game then?

Who are those characters, and why must I "train"? Why does training to do whatever is apparently dream-related just consist of sex? Why even train since all interactions end in sex anyway?

Why am I asking myself all these questions while obviously, it doesn't matter and nothing needs to be taken seriously in the first place?

Why does it feel like after 10 years those drugs are finally kicking in?

This game gives a very bad first impression, and the second one isn't really better, there is nothing even remotely giving me the interest to try and find out if it gets any better later on.

If you want a quick nut, you'll find it here, definitely, if you're looking for something more, I doubt it there.

Ch3 v2.8

Story :

10/10

Probably the high point of this game, the story is very interesting and good, keeping us on our toes on what would happen next, each chapter ends with a thrilling cliff hanger. Expecting same for this too.

Characters :

10/10

A number of prominent characters, each having unique characteristics and behavior, all the waifus are just good. No other words to describe it.

Animation :

10/10

Really compared to the static 1st Chapter from Chapter 2 all the animations have been ramped up and 3rd Chapter is super crazy, just listening to bgm, watching the animation is like watching an action movie. Awsm work.

Overall its a very good game, worth playing it.
Masta piece

For reference, I never made it past chapter 1. You may have whatever opinions you want on that but if the chapter 1 of a game is bad enough to get me to stop playing, then the rest of the game might as well not exist and it doesn't matter how bad or good it would be. +

This game might be fine for your if you can overlook the most mindless and cringe "lolrandom" and "le epic meme" humor. Who knows, maybe you even like that kind of stuff. You would still have to get past egregious spelling mistakes in basically every single sentence, a UI that looks like it was made in MS paint in the 90s. The sound effects are actually some of the worst imaginable and the developer even included warnings in the game text to lower the ingame volume rather than, you know, properly editing the sounds themselves.

The animation is bad, the girls look good sometimes but it's such complete disparate mismatch of anime styles that it's actually grating to me. The outfit styles are even worse and in fact the entire thematic style of the game is one giant mess, one of those games that doesn't know if it wants to be fantasy or scifi and so ends up with the worst of both. A girl with a flintlock pistol in a game with space ships and cannons? At that point I don't care what explanation you have for that, it's just bad.

I'm sure a lot of these problems have been resolved by the time you get to chapter 3, but I will never know. And that's the problem with continuing a game like this for so long that had such a rocky start. As a creative, it means you're now beholden to all the bad decisions that you made early on when you didn't really know what you were doing. And many players will never get to see how you've improved because they will never bother going past the mess that is your early work.

My hope would be that a developer in a situation like that would just wrap up a project like this and start anew, with everything they've learned since then. My suggestion? Make a thematically coherent story instead. Less is more, you know? Cramming every single theme and thing you possibly like from media into one project doesn't make it richer, it makes it bloated and doesn't give any individual theme the room it needs to breathe and grow. Also, good comedy will arise naturally from good and serious writing, there's no need to force it.

Have you ever read a book, watched a movie, or played a game, where you KNOW there is a story there, that could be a fascinating one, and so you struggle through it, only to be frustrated, because it seems that the story is either in the creators notes somewhere, or just in their head, but simply IS NOT put to paper, or screen, and it leaves you frustrated?

That is this game, in a nutshell. You can tell that the world as a whole has a back story. You can tell that each character has a backstory. You can tell that the Dev is a story in mind to tell, that they know what all the pieces are, how they fit together, and where the story will go...
But they fail to tell us most of the story.

It's like seeing the Mona Lisa in your mind. Knowing every line, ever contour, every color used, every brush stroke... and your attempt to recreate it on canvas results in a child's scribble of a smiley face.
That is how I perceive this story. Despite how thought out, meticulously crafted, and thorough it is in the devs mind, we get a scrawled out smiley face.

There is no exposition given. The MC either doesn't think to ask questions, or when he does, the questions are ignored, or the scene gets derailed.

100% honesty here. while the girls are cute, I hate the graphics, over all. The animations don't look good. There is clipping EVERYWHERE.
I find the sex scenes to be fairly boring. I find the dirty talk to be repetitive and, frankly, gross.
There is at least one character I actually dislike intensely, that I'm forced into sex scenes with.
Choices barely exist.
Visually, and gameplay wise, this game has a myriad of problems.

In spite of that, I played to the end of episode 2. When episode 3 is finished, I'll probably play that too. Because I'm chasing the Mona Lisa that I think the dev sees in their head, and I want to see it in the scribbles.

If NOTHING about this game was changed or fixed, save the writing itself, so I knew more about who I was, who the people around me were, what the plot actually is.... not spoon-fed to you, but learned and earned, I'd probably give the game 5 stars.
Because I'm sure all that information, and more, exists, and in its existence, would make this a game worth playing.
But a bare minimum amount is conveyed, and most has to be sifted through and interpreted. Every scene, every conversation, that in any way goes to expand on the plot gets derailed, and I'm forced to grade a scribbled smiley face as just that, plus a star for the more detailed image I'm hoping the dev actually sees in their minds eye, of what the scribble actually is.

The core concepts of the game are absolutely amazing. Lovable characters, fun adventures, and tons of H scenes. The H-scene animations in particular are phenomenal in both fluidity and diversity.

However, the main thing holding this game back in my eyes is the lack of explanation and borderline incohensiveness of the story. Without a single doubt if the story was not even rewritten, just made to actually flow and make more sense overall it would be easily up near the pinnacle of koikatsu-based games.

As it is, I really enjoyed the first two parts. I'll probably come back to this once part three is finished, but as it is now the story isn't cohesive enough to really cause me to watch this game as closely as I normally would a game of this caliber.

Excellent game, too deep story with DRUM&BASS!
These fight scenes were made by Kodjima or M.Bay

2B honest, i'm not such a big fan of VNs or what its call?

Lovely characters, interesting game mechanics, and also deeeeeeeeeeep plot. My walkthrough takes more than 15 hours.

If u want to bang catgirls, androids, elves, vampires, cowgirls, demons at once - this game's made4u

Its good. A lot of the Koitatsu Designs are not his own but borrowed, which is okay he does have the allowance from the original creators. The animations are from Koitatsu but that's okay in my opinion.
There is a ton of content, so everyone who is new to the series has a lot of content to look forward to.
Story is a little bit crazy and all over the place but I don't mind that too much. Its kind of like a harem collector that tries to tie in all kinds of backgrounds together. It doesn't do that well or in a interesting way but for the purpose of just collecting all the girls its fitting.
The girls range from Space Imperialists, to maid robots, to medieval princesses, to all kinds of demons and what not. So a lot to choose from.
But there is one nitpick I have. While the cut scenes are the best cut scenes I've ever seen in a Renpy game that uses Koitatsu models, its kind of not the point of a game like this I would say.
Sometimes you sit there and you get an absolutely stunning cut scene but then you sort of realize the last update was all spend on one or two cut scenes rather than adding more interesting content with the girls. So you get a couple of fighting scenes or just cinematic character building events with some music. Cool but kind of not the reason I play this.
Not to say it should all be ditched but it can all be much shorter. I especially liked the shorter repeatable scenes of which there are less and less because the Creator favors those extremely long cut scenes for some reason.
That is also why with every update you have less content for each character. Not necessarily because the dev is lazy or anything, he just made a 10 Minute long fighting scene for one character event instead of adding multiple small ones like he used to. So that's why I go with 4 Stars.
Its still an absolute trip to play and I can recommend it.

[Ch.3 v1.8]

Melatonin Magiks is an odd one in the best way. I saw a review on here state that it was better to just take it as it comes, and you'll enjoy it more. That is absolutely right

H-scenes
So far the animations and statics are simple, but certainly have a charm to them.

The "worst" complaint you will find is the it just throws you in the deep end of the story, and you're left trying to piece together bits. But you also aren't from one scene to the next. Unfortunately that is probably my biggest gripe; though to it's credit: you're never left with a dull or boring moment

Mostly vanilla in terms of kink variety; until you're into book 2 for some Femdom and such. However you are able to change what each girl refers to you with some unique dialogue for "Master", "Daddy", or "Son"

In conclusion: It's fun, quirky, and random. It's just that bit too random at times that is a juxtaposition to an otherwise phenomenal experience. But a blast nonetheless

When shifting through the swirling stables of ever burgeoning harems and their odd worlds that justify it, this one probably takes the cake.

For any potential bias I have, it's probably my hypocrisy in the cliches and tropes that this game sometimes utilizes, but actually does well. I'm sure everyone seasoned enough is familiar with the soulless titles that introduce the lewd way too quickly with their cardboard cutout characters that serve as clunky vehicles for the lewd. This game at first seems like it's doing that, but the more you play, the more you realize that it's not feeling dull or vapid in any way.

I think I, and many of the other reviews have an idea as to why the above works but that'll be explained later on.

Now for the game. Where do I even begin? As one of the reviews points out, this game is an experience, it has a lackluster bustedass UI, it has no direction in the story half the time but then it suddenly does, but then actually maybe doesn't? It really does feel like a fever dream when you took 3 max strength melatonins instead of the recommended 2, while also having a couple pints before, then falling asleep to a porn compilation in the background.

The game is everywhere but never really nowhere. Things that happen in this game, the characters you meet, the off the walls quests while all being barely coherent, are never dull. This game never feels empty, it's like writing a fanfic for your favorite anime for the first time and you think you have a clear picture as to where things are going but then the horn comes in, you forgot where the thread is, and you're now just going off the rails and it's page 153 baby. That's probably not the intent here, since it does come into focus at points, but then I think there's enough of a dream feel to this game to make that incohesiveness work.

That's all I'm going to say on the story because...I don't think that's the point of the game. I think the real point is the characters and the setting. Which, with my aforementioned bias, there's at first no real build-up. Like, you get plopped as some sex God in the beginning that needs wanton sex because you may or may not have done something that blew up the universe (but that's never really explained). As hinted at, the only way to prevent that is to drain the tension in the air, and later it's also explained that because of your latent sex God/sex aura, girls are naturally inclined to lewd you way more than usual (not much of a spoiler it's in the beginning). You then get introduced in the first chapter to most of the main cast you're going to be lewding because of that, and that's where the majority of the content lies. Doing them, doing their quests, and learning more about them.

I feel like that's a bad thing, so many hentai games have it to where you get the lewd immediately and all bets are off in ever feeling like you as a player earned it in some way. But this game, with how it writes it's characters, the worlds it's able to hop into, the illogic ways it can play with logic itself (ie dreamwalking) just makes it all work. Also, the characters themselves really start to come alive the further you play, unlike how other games spread their characters out way too thin.

I think overall, the setting beautifully ties everything up together in allowing such a suspension of disbelief to push everything. Without it, it would literally be way too fast and loose, but with it, it just makes sense. Also this game is lewd af, lots of kink involved with everyone the further down the chapters you go.

That's really the most I can try on explaining this...journey? Experience? Dream? I really recommend this title mainly in how unique it is in actually playing a lot of doujin cliches but upping the intensity to nth degrees to just create a nice fun rollercoaster of a ride. Such as it's way of bringing up the many questions as to where the hell are you. Are we in a fantasy world? Maybe, but then why is there a scifi waifu fleet serving a fantasy king? And why is my home in the current modern era? You'll never really know but it reveals the one thing that this game does well that was said before, it's never, ever, dull. 5/5.

This game is an excellent weg mixing a fantasy and sci-fi in a pretty coherent way. Sometimes gameplay is scattered but the characters are great and the dialog that the developer makes is excellent. Graphic quality is good and I have yet to be bored and that is saying something, usually things get slow in a game and this hasn't happened. Great Work!

Much like you see from another reviews, a lot of people are hesitant to rate the game highly because of the terrible UI, clusterfuck of a story, and the chaos of everything, but then inevitably do.

This game is an experience. Once you begin to understand the game style, and rather the story, you begin to enjoy it more. It's practically a fever dream. I'm beginning to believe that the title Melatonin Magiks comes from the writer's own melatonin fueled dreams that led to this game. When you try to understand the story in a linear way, you get confused. Once you let it happen, it clicks. Some character says something that may imply you're ancient? Dang that's cool. Maybe it was something I forgot? Totally fine. Maybe it was an event that happened off screen? Works for me. And you roll with it. In fact, a lot more happens off screen in this game than most, which can explain how characters somehow become quickly familiar with each other without the player manually clicking, and it can be surprising. All of a sudden they refer to things that you weren't there for, which makes the game feel alive as well.

Every once in a while, the game's writing steps it up a notch outside of the fever dream and you think, dang, wait it's legitimately good, because submerging you back into the trip. Once you play the game for the ride that it is, you get it.

As far as lewd scenes go, that's the biggest consistent plus for everyone, so don't take it from me.

A straight up 5/5. I just cant give it any less and justify the decision as this game has it all and then some.

Positives

Fun factor - this comes in many forms but to me i loved the fact it was an easy access game ie no grind and i recognise almost every pop culture reference and meme being dropped in this. The humour and writing just clicks with me and its a stress free game to play and get into day one.

Character variety - body types, personality typed (further deepened by your choices in what they call you) and theyre pretty much all accessible to you.

Sex content - loads of it, almost from the very offset and fully animated too
(ive seen completed games years in the making with less animations than id encountered here in first 15 minutes alone).

Plenty of kinks catered for - game straight up not only offers the good stuff in abundance but it will ask you if your want to say have the girls call you daddy or master and it really ramps up the role play afterwords for you filthy animals who did this stuff the most lol

Features - there is a music room which few games do, a fully accessible replay gallery (not common enough IMO a feature) and even repeatable scenes are here at the click of a button.

Negatives (didnt affect my enjoyment but might factor into others)

Size - its a beefy game on all versions. This is justified seeing first hand how much animation is going on in the game and not even exclusive to sex scenes. Android players might struggle getting to use this and even PC players might find its size a nuisance with certain site caps on download sizes or slow speeds.

Story - l liked it, its dumb but has charm. I cant discount however its all over the place as a cohesive deep narrative and largely is a vehicle to justify all sorts of weird and wonderful vagina to be met and fucked on demand. Most will be utterly confused if they try and invest too much into it lol

Style - it looks Koikatsu. Its not even my bag in all honesty so it will put off some fappers who dont like an anime presentation of women. It was why it took me this long to try it so yeah if your looking to this review because this has you undecided on jumping deep with that size of a download i can tell you its worth it but all the sex it offers wont make it more fappable is you loathe this style of game engine. (it tends to make characters look younger than they are intended too - its not an engine for MILF lovers for example)

This is not something I'd typically 5 star. I have been avoiding it because it looked a bit nonsensical and chaotically structured, however the never ending 4+ star reviews tempted me in. After playing it, I can say that it is, in fact, nonsensical and chaotically structured lol, at least in some places. However, as you play, the game just keeps getting better, consistently.

I don't know how else to explain it, its sort of like that TV show you like that you tell everyone "you just have to sit through the first couple episodes and then it's really good". For this game, you just have to sit through the first hour or two and it gets good. The plot starts to make a bit of sense, the sex content starts to get arousing, the characters start to get enjoyable, etc.

I sort of wanted to give this a 4 star review, but I can't say I've ever experienced another H game like this, where the more I play it, the more I want to keep playing it. Ch1 was a 6GB download, I'm downloading another 6GB to play Ch2 lol, so... Yeah, I recommend it, and will be putting it on my 5-star review list on my profile's about page shortly.

-Despite being a loose mix of sci-fi and magic themes you doesn't feel that it bad written.
-Cute and vastly different characters with a personality that easily found a place in my heart.
-Someone was upset because they were from honey select imho it's better that they are from hs cause this style work good with VAST number of characters involved.
-Yes, animations are clunky here and there but I still got enjoyment out of them(sometimes in laughter)
-What can I say, tried that game because of a harem and pregnancy tag but stayed because I grow attached to waifus(literaly).
Overall this game made me laugh, invest in characters emotionally and wait for a update like a good fucking ongoing anime, 9/10
