Ren'Py - Completed - Midnight Paradise [v1.0f Extra] [Lewdlab]

"Midnight Paradise" by Lewdlab is hands-down the game you need if you appreciate top-tier 3D visuals in your adult visual novels. The renders in this game? Out of this world. Lewdlab has seriously outdone themselves, leaving other games in the dust with their attention to detail - the lighting, the textures, the expressions, it's all top-notch.

But let's talk about the real stars of the show - the chicks. Holy hell, they're smoking hot. Each character is designed with such care, you can almost feel the heat through your screen. The variety of body types, the seductive poses, the way they move - it's like Lewdlab knew exactly what fans crave in a game like this.

But let's dive into the sandbox elements - because, wow, they've really hit it out of the park here. You've got this freedom to explore, to experiment with different choices, and see how they shape your experience.

The sandbox elements give you this unique sense of control over the narrative and the characters' lives. Whether it's deciding how to spend your time, who to flirt with, or which path to take with your relationships, every choice feels meaningful. Lewdlab has crafted a world where your actions have consequences, and that's thrilling.

And let's not forget how hot the chicks are in this game. They're not just eye candy; they're part of this dynamic sandbox where you can engage in all sorts of naughty fun. The freedom to navigate through their stories, unlock different scenarios, and see how they react to your decisions makes every encounter feel fresh and exciting.

Lewdlab has nailed it with "Midnight Paradise" by combining breathtaking 3D visuals with a sandbox that lets you play how you want. Is by far one of the best in the genre.

Lewdlab deserves a massive shoutout for pushing the boundaries of what we expect from adult games. "Midnight Paradise" isn't just a game; it's a visual and erotic experience that sets a new standard. If you're into visual novels and you haven't played this, you're missing out on some of the hottest, most detailed 3D renders in the genre and one of the best sandbox experiences out there. It's innovative, it's hot, and it's a testament to the superiority of this developer. Lewdlab, yet again, is setting a new standard in the genre. Bravo to the developers for yet another masterpiece.

A nice game with good graphics. I particularly liked, that the MILFs have pubic hair (which is rare at this time), but still they look too clean and young, to really enjoy them as MILFs.
As always in this kind of games, it sucks, that every action you make, even when you just talk, skips the time and you sometimes have to wait a whole week, to get the right time, with the right day, to continue.
There is a lot of grinding, and it's annoying to get the girls far enough, to choose their clothing. A cheatmod, to set their mood would be very helpful!

But I enjoyed the playing. The story isn't great, but where is it in games like that? The characters look good, but their personalities are hollow. I skipped most of the foot fetish.
It is not the best game, but it's fun anyway.

This is an incest game centered around a protagonist named Connor, a college dropout who is selfish, irresponsible, and moronic. The whole premise is that he wants to turn over a new leaf and be a better person. This, unfortunately, does not happen when you reach the end of the game. He only improves by inches. It's a darn shame that the game's main character is not Connor's father or his twin brother, both of which are way more responsible and intelligent. Usually, Connor is the type of character you see in an adult game as the stupid "rival" character whom you defeat. The way Connor goes about being a better person is continuing to break the law, continuing to not take responsibility for a lot of horrible actions, and being a creep. It's pretty much hypocritical when he calls out certain family members of their shortcomings when he exhibits the same shortcomings throughout the entire story. It's poetic how his father says "You would have done the same thing as me." which is exactly true. Once again, the father and the twin brother are the more interesting characters in this story. Instead of rising to be a better person, Connor is really just magically helped by many other people who do all the work for him which leaves for little personal growth.

The game is a sandbox so expect to click around a lot and grind a lot. Oddly enough, it's way less of a grind to complete the main quests of each of the women than doing all their side content. This game used to not have a calendar system which made progression a nightmare. At least now, you can see where each of the main girls are located and which ones will advance new scenes. But even so, this takes a while because of the whole time and week system as certain scenes can only progress at certain days and times. Overall, you're playing a huge, moronic slut with plenty of unavoidable sex scenes. The only good thing about this game is the render quality.

Amazing grafics, great game. It has some bugs, but nothing mayor so you can still enjoy the game.
Good enough story, the only thing I regret about this kind of games is the low/lack of scenes with the milf/mother/teacher. It has many with the rest of the family, but there aren't much with the other
It's an easy game, point and click with almost little desition making (at least to me)

I think I’m one of the few who prefers this game over DOD. Both are great games, well-developed despite a few minor flaws.

Pros:

• Models: The character models are undoubtedly among the best out there. Joyce, Isabell, Ruby, and even characters like Thorme look fantastic.
• Renders: The renders are excellent. Sure, there are a few scenes that feel a bit clunky or poorly executed, but overall, the renders are top-notch.
• Story: I found the story engaging enough, simple but effective. It’s not on the same level as DOD, but it does a great job of creating atmosphere and tension. However, some parts feel a bit rushed. The ending leaves a lot of room for hope... I really think and hope there will be a third game.
• The Main Character: Unlike many others, I actually liked Connor. Yes, he’s a jerk, but he’s well-written and far more coherent than most main characters in this genre. He’s not the typical loser who inexplicably wins everyone over.

Cons:

• Character Development: Many characters aren’t poorly written per se, but they are quite flat and lack real personality.
• Rushed Conclusion: Several characters weren’t given a proper resolution, leaving us with little to no material, which is a shame.

In essence, it’s a good game, but it’s evident that the creator wrapped it up hastily. It’s not a five-star game, but with a bit more story organization and a few other minor improvements, it certainly could have been.

I'd say this is a decent but not fantastic game, sometimes very grindy.

The main girls are pretty hot and fun to hang around, it's not very deep and touching but fun, and the sex scenes are pretty hot.
The girls never properly cross each others paths into a real harem until the ending which was disappointing.
I would've liked to see them going "WTH you are also banging her? I thought what we had was special!!!" and then having to calm them down for some family bonding time...

The main story is whatever... the game spends most of it's time in relationship building and the main quest becames the boring thing you do, and barely remember, after going on a date.
And the at some point the game suddenly asks "do you wanna finish the main story?" Sure, i guess so.

Again, this game is good, better than a guilty pleasure, well worth a shot... but not fantastic.

Slow burn sandbox corruption game with beautiful love interests.

Pros

• Excellent renders
• Excellent character models overall
• Beautiful love interests
• Decent MC
• Above average writing
• Above average sex scenes (most)
• Good English
• Good character development (although slow)
• Helpful schedule system (without this the game would be too frustrating to play)

Cons

• Females are generally larger than the MC and most males in the game. Lots of authors have this problem for some reason. Large boned females and small boned males. In real life, males are generally 15% - 25% larger than females.
• The MC is supposedly enrolled in school but never has to attend. Tutoring is all that's required.
• Too much repetition to advance storylines and character relationships! I would have removed all repetition and moved things along at a faster more reasonable pace.
• Game becomes boring at times due to the endless clicking and repetition. If you're going to do a slow burn story, you have to keep things fresh and interesting, which it often isn't.
• Out of place progression with Isabel. Early in the game the author allows the MC to grope her naked breasts and suck on her nipples. The game then takes several months to get back to this point and you end up doing less intimate things with Isabel for at least two whole months before you arrive at the earlier intimacy level.
• Story paths feel disjoined and half missing. The detective storyline with Thorne gets put on ice for 90% of the game. You do some things with Thorne at the beginning of the game and at the end. The Russian mob storyline has the same problem. It starts in the middle of the story and then gets mostly forgotten.
• Some paths feel very light or weak. Examples: Natsuko, Celine, Amy. So much more could have been done with these three characters!
• Rushed/lackluster ending - doesn't feel complete - no ending sex events for the main characters after you finish their stories
• Some characters forget about intimacy progress you've made in the game. One LI even says she can't go any further when you've already had sex with her.
• Animations are smooth but are far too robotic. The author moved the bare minimum body parts in order to create the animations. Facial expressions never change, mouths and lips never move, eye contact never changes. All these problems make the animations feel emotionless as if the characters were heavily stoned while performing them. I applaud the effort but the animations are very average due to being too robotic and stiff.
• The author struggles writing sex scenes. Everyone is tight, including your mother who gave birth to three children. It took me so far out of immersion the dozen times the MC congratulated his mother on how tight her pussy was! Everyone's pussy is tight, everyone's pussy is dripping wet, all females orgasm at the slightest touch of the MC.
• Lots of boring dialog that should have been condensed. Inner dialog is overdone and excessive.

The sandbox portion of the game slows the story to a crawl. It's a lesson in patience. There was no need to repeat events, watching content you've already experienced a 2nd or 3rd time.

Too many story arcs feel empty or half finished - Natsuko, Celine, Amy, Thorne, and Tanya. I was so disappointed when I got to the end of the game and realized that these storylines are very thin/incomplete.

It's a 3.5 star game but I can't give it that rating. I'm being generous in giving the game a 4 star rating (rounding up).

I generally like sandbox games, but this was clunky. The MC moves back home after flunking out of uni and has to go to the local school. Yet he doesn't do anything there except for tutoring - and those are painful awkward interactions in my opinion.
The job story just died off. You go from criming for a "lawyer" then working with the Russian mob....then nothing. For days. No interactions at all . And with that I'm done

Excellent game, very complete and entertaining. It offers many options and varied scenes, ensuring a rich and satisfying experience. The models are very well designed and detailed, and it's one of the few games that is truly finished, which is greatly appreciated. Highly recommended for those looking for quality and abundant content. Definitely worth trying!

The quality of renders and animation is A-tier, but the overall experience is not that great. First of all, I'm not a fan of sandbox. But I can still enjoy a sandbox game (with mods and walkthroughs). But I feel the storyline with the main plot and the girls feels so disconnected with the sandbox elements in this game. You can do something with a girl in a main event, then go to a sandbox event and they talk like the main event never happened. It makes the flow of the game so off. Still a fun game, but I found myself so extremely bored at times, that it's hard to rate the game.

The teasing in this game is so boring, none of the the main girls have sex with you until waaaay later. it's so stupid when you have multiple girls rubbing genitals together with you, but no one wants to have sex. It feels very formulaic. I only gave it a high grade because of the overall quality of the game.
Also, there is way to much inner dialog. I like it when the MC has a personality, but I think inner dialog should be used rarely.

E: I am not a big fan of degeneration (name calling, domination, spanking, and stuff like that), and I wasn't gonna bring it up because it's my personal preference. I'm not gonna rate a game poorly because it doesn't meet my fetishes. But the MC is a dirtbag who has no problem raping his friends/family in their sleep, but then starts to stutter and get nervous when they want to have sex with him. It makes no sense. there is just so much inconsistency that I rated it a 3 star, instead of 4.

Springing NTR rape on the player 75% of the way through the game is pretty awful, especially since it becomes repeatedly referenced afterwards and it's so poorly written. Really ruined my favorite character.

Dialogue is repetitive and stretches far too long.

Way too much foot stuff/anal and no way to just flat out turn off the foot stuff.

I won't give it a 1 star just because the models look good and the pacing was solid.

I wish i could rate this game without have seen its ending, and because ive seen it i cant give more than 3 stars, its so disapointing that i cant even put it into words, its just crap work, i guess i should be thankfull to have an end to the game but honestly if i had to pick this mediucre ending or no ending i probably would pick the later

best game i've ever played, the animations and the graphics in this game are just in another level, every single character is extremely hot and the story is fine, i've enjoyed this game 10x more than dreams of desire, incredible.

I have to give this game a 3/5, as it doesn't feel like a complete product due to it being rushed like hell and there was no proper conclusion to the story, just to get the game out onto Steam.

Pros:
- The models look delicious.
- The writing and slow development of the relationship is quite satisfying (it's not completely realistic, but it also isn't an immediate jump from nothing to hardcore sex)
- The models are really freaking good in this one (had to repeat it).
- The sex scenes are kinda simple, but still cover all the bases.

Cons:
- The story is horrible and doesn't have a proper conclusion. What happened with the whole detective storyline - that just got thrown out..
- A lot of characters have half-assed development (ex: The teacher is slowly being corrupted, you will get her into different stuff, and then it suddenly cuts off and the content ends.)
- Gameplay is rather simple, not exactly interesting as you'll have to start skipping days just to get to events after some point. Lots of areas stop being used after some point, which clutters the map.
- I kinda disliked the dominative character that the MC became. It's a matter of taste, but due to the plot trying to make the MC into a sort of "illegal activities" sort of guy, it tried to present him as a "go-getter". But frankly I feel like as a failure that the MC was initially, the change from a "horny rich son who lost everything" to "shotcaller who f's his family" wasn't well developed. I kinda dislike this sort of setting - would've liked there to be less illegal activities in the story, and more "pulling ourselves out by our bootstraps, while bringing love to a neglected mom".

It's a quality porn game, but there's nothing interesting regarding the story. There were a few details such as your fathers job and stuff that you had to mess with, but nothing really comes from it afterwards.

The models are a 5/5, while the rest is around 2.5/5 (average). It kinda averages out at a 3.5/5, but I'll make it a 3/5 due to the way how the storylines were rushed just to get a "complete" (half-assed) product onto Steam.

I recommend this game to people who like incest/family relations settings, or the people who just enjoy looking at pretty models. You will get a few good wanks off the models and move on while forgetting about it.. Unless you really enjoyed the models enough to keep going back to it.

5/5 renders, animations, and girls. 3/5 everything else.

The story was boring and uninteresting like most games, like most games nobody would care to read it if it wasn’t included in a porn game, and like most games the game would be better off if less time/content was focused on the story and more was focused on the girls/relationships.

The calendar events were a good idea, but poorly executed. You can tell less effort was put into them than the rest of the game and they were just tacked on towards the end of the game’s development to add more content. And that’s fine, it’s better to have them than not, but hopefully in his future games more effort is put into these events. Particularly the writing. He literally just copy/pasted significant chunks of each event that you’re constantly repeating over and over again until you get to the new content. And I gotta say I wish that as you progressed the relationship their schedule and events would change, because doing the same events from the beginning to the end of the game gets boring. And it was such a missed opportunity to not include any events with multiple girls, especially the mom and sisters. It would have been way more interesting to get new events and harem events as the game goes on rather than a 7th yoga event or event by the pool.

The dialogue can be pretty cringey at times especially because the MC is such an arrogant, cocky, douche. And the sex/dirty talk can get pretty cringey too but that’s kinda expected since there’s only so much stuff you can say until you get to a point where you have nothing left to say that isn’t cringey. But maybe sometimes less is more because I felt a lot of times scenes/dialogue dragged on way longer than they needed too. It’s like he felt he needed scenes to be a certain length so he made them way longer than they needed to be, and that was particularly noticeable during the trip with the mom. I get he wanted to make it a big pay off especially since it took so many years to get too, but so many of the scenes there just dragged and made the event worse not better.

Overall though still a good game with lots of good faps, but it’s carried by the visuals. Idk if he has a writer or not, but hopefully for his next one he gets one (or a better one) because it’s a shame to see this level of visuals paired with this level of writing quality. He certainly is making more than enough to hire a quality writer.

I really enjoyed this game. Great amount of content, nice looking females (to have fun with). I feel that it has an interesting story that you don't get bored from.

What you might be bored at is that you will have to look (click on) at the phone to see text messages/reply to them.
I usually don't like games in sandbox mode because of the "clicking" around on the map/inside buildings, on props etc but this game I feel uses it right with not making every single item on screen clickable.

Extra! One thing I would have like or loved more would have been more scenes with the girl(s) in latex!

Shame there's no 3.5-star rating, because that's my real score.

Aside from the renders and animations (which after the remake, are basically on par with this game), it felt like a downgrade from Dreams of Desire.

Partly because the story felt like it didn’t exist. I just felt like I was leveling up relationships with the characters and then doing a quick event to progress further. For me, the story only started to get interesting near the end of the game, but it was quickly finished. It also felt more vanilla than the previous game, probably because of the lack of mind control, which was only present in the ending. Besides that, it was only mentioned briefly during the story.

This sandbox implementation serves no purpose in my opinion. All it does is scatter the scenes and make the plot feel inconsistent. At least it’s well-made technically, with a schedule and an indicator when you have an event you haven’t seen yet. But if it weren’t for the visuals, I would never have finished this game. I’d suggest sticking with VNs or drawing conclusions from this “sandbox experiment” and coming up with a better sandbox design for the next game. A design where the sandbox actually adds value to the game instead of making it worse, like in the vast majority of games. I will say that I at least appreciate the schedule with the new event indicator because, without it, it would be a nightmare to check each event manually.

I hope Lewdlab will take the various reviews into account and implement changes in his next project. I wish him luck because I really enjoy his character designs and renders.

It's a very boring game. 80-90% of the time you read phone messages from the characters in this game. You also constantly need to catch time events. There are also these repetitive "moving" actions to delay the plot. Character development takes place in a teaspoon per year. I'm fucked up. The graphics, idea, and style are cool, but the game itself is slow and boring.

I can't remove too many stars, due to the models and animations, that are some of the BEST on this site.

I would give 1 or 2 stars, and not recommend it, but I have to admit that I had fun with the game for 4 or 5 real life days before it went to sh**.

The first half of the game is well done, with plenty of interesting scenes and flows, that keeps the atmosphere going. The game looses it's direction once you complete the game's main stories.
What does that mean?
All girls have a sandbox story and a main game story which are independent from each other. Meaning that you might make a girl your lover/plaything in her story, but then see events in the sandbox where she acts like she sees you naked for the first time.
Sandbox stories are even independent from themselves. Meaning that you might fuck a girl in the pool, but then she will act surprised and not let you see her naked in the shower.

The game's story starts by saying "1 year ago" when you start playing and I suppose it doesn't lie, because it took me roughly 1 in-game year (360 days) of running around the map to unlock the sandbox scenes and try to progress them for all the girls. Again, the game looses all meaning and immersion after completing the girl's main stories, and transforms into an easter-egg hunt, running around the map and progressing at a snail's pace with every girl, even though they swallowed your children after 3~4 months (in-game). At that point, even though the scenes are sexy, if you like a story or natural progression that makes the scenes hotter and leweder, you will have a hard time "staying hard". From a VN, that game transforms into those cheap puzzle games where you get frustrated for a few minutes to unlock a single scene (instead of puzzles you simply have the same events on repeat over and over unlocking a bit each time).

The ending is also a bit rushed, with no extended scenes with your girls.

• If you are the type of player that simply watches scenes, and doesn't care about the context, this is an awesome game. The galllery is also filled with bonus/elite scenes that you never see inserted in the game's story or sandbox which for me is a major let-down. If you like a natural progression, and want things to make sense, you will enjoy only a part of the game, while being frustrated in the other.

After finishing the game I can't give this more than 2 stars. If the visuals weren't so good it would get just 1.

Other than the visuals there is not really much to like about the game.
The writing is not good and the player gets blue balled for 90% of the game just to get a super rushed ending. Unless you have blowjob or handjob fetish, you should probably avoid this game. The pay off is definitely not worth the time.
