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

A game with potential. The renders are great. I like the style and the music.

The first big problem of this game is that it becomes boring quickly. How often can you apply lotion or sun cream or perform yoga or breast massages until it becomes repetitive work? Especially when you need to progress with all characters and the main storyline it takes ages until anything interesting happens. At some point, I have stopped reading all the dialogue. One way would be to make the romance progression 3 times faster, so that there is stuff that you only get when you have certain fetishes or on repeated playthroughs. Then there are some cheesy things I would simply get rid of.

The second big problem is that something is off with the characters. Most are strange, especially the main character. Storywise, they should involve the use of the drug way earlier to make their strange behavior more believable. I mean they have a great story device at hand that could help them with so much. I don't know, maybe they are affected already and that is the twist but I would gladly sacrifice such a twist for more relatable motivations.

This could also lead to some interesting inner conflict of the characters. They could all wonder why they act so strange and why they have such desires althouth the main character is so creepy and needy.

Storywise, I would let the main character give them a dosis of the drug. Maybe he only wants to have revenge with one character (e.g., his brother), but, by accident, all of them get a dosis of the drug - including himself.

My suggestion: get a script doctor. Someone who is really good at plotting stories. And increase the pace 3x.

I'm a few hours into the game so far, the girls are mostly hot, and the animations are acceptable. The side stories are ok, if a little weirdly forced, but the main story is dumb as shit. As the MC you are forced to make choices you know are stupid, with very little reason to do so. It hasn't gotten better from there. I'm actually angry at having to play the main storyline, which you must to progress the far more enjoyable side stories. I'd strongly recommend turning on skip unseen text and breezing through the main quest line.

Edit: I had to completely abandon this game because the main story was just too stupid, and the side stories started to follow. My new recommendation is to avoid this game at all costs. Its completely not worth the bandwidth to download.

I played this game a while ago and I didn't like it. The MC is a SIMP of the worst kind, the women in the game only take advantage of him and give him crumbs of sex, that's right, crumbs of sex. The only ones you will have in this game are different types of masturbation, masturbation with the foot, with the leg, with the bend of the knee and believe it or not with the armpit too, and the MC, as he is a desperate INCEL, thinks that this is a GREAT progress. The story didn't catch my attention, the models and aesthetics are well done.
If you are a guy who wants more history and likes these "sex crumbs" this game is for you.

Midnight Paradise [v0.23 Elite] [Lewdlab]
3.5/5

Let me start by saying that the overall graphics are very good.
I have not encountered any bugs in the game.

It certainly loses its charm a bit in the long run, but it certainly makes you want to see other scenes, in fact I always gladly await updates.

If we want to find one real thing that bothered me a lot, it's the extra scenes, certainly well done, but I never like it when there are scenes that have no influence on the story (they're extra, it's normal for that to be the case, it's simply something that It bothers me a lot.)

As for the characters I can say that I really appreciated Ruby, I found Joyce well done (even if her progression towards the protagonist is probably the worst in the game, but she still has a strong aesthetic, she makes herself recognisable), Ms Jane, and Amy (although rarely seen), unfortunately the others didn't drive me crazy, either in terms of aesthetics or general story.

Overall it's a good game that I recommend.

First let me say that you have to be into every kind of LI to play this, your forced to be with milfs, teens, small and big tits, kinks/fetishes, so it your dont love everything its proberly not for you, i dont think most people likes everything including my self i dont like old ugly milfs with big saggy tits its just not for me so being forced to be with those types of LIs just kills the game, MC is pretty much just a manwhore fucking anything the moves, dosent matter how ugly or how stupid even hes exgirlfriend its a fuckfest game no more no less.

Also its a kinetic story, not sure why it dosent have the tag, but you cant change anything and your forced to follow a kinetic questline to progress with each LI, so you cant just pick one or two you have to do them in order like Mother first then sister and so on, pure kinetic in every way.

Story is meh, i mean 2 seconds into the game your fucking someones girlfriend in a toilet, so the style is set right from the star MC being an asshole and watching a sex scene with a LI you have no idea who is, all in 2 seconds....so not a great start.

MC is also a loser that failed college and has to move back home to hes parrents, where hes dad wants him to prove him self and give him or hes brother a chance to take over as the top boss in hes big firm, so story is nothing new.

Its very clearly just a porn game with a brainless kid as MC, why he would go into both of hes sisters rooms and then use her feets or pull down her pants to jerk off, i mean why risk everything he could gain by being an idiot like that, makes no sense.....if he got caught and trown on the street to live like a bum that would make perfect sense but a short game....it just to stupid and you as the player dont have any kind of choices other then feet or ass, cant say no thanks dont do that shit so yeah choices arent really choices.

Our brainless MC then think lets deliver some "stuff" for a friend and get paid and ofc first time doing it he gets caught and trown in jail where an unknown wierd lawyer dude gets him out, MC never question why or who he is and just ends up working for him now no questions asked...diving blind folded head fist into an even more fucked up situation..

And then MC starts acting like a bodyguard at hes new weird bosses office? how does that make sense, he know the dude talking to hes boss is in the russian mob so dont really get why the fuck MC would want to mess with that in any way at all, he should just sit still and shut up.

MC has the same problem as so many other games, hes thought process is like a horney 10 year old child that has never seen a pair of tits, i dont know why this is almost the standard but its boring and makes it very hard to place yourself in MCs shoes, i mean who thinks like that other then a kid.
I mean he touches hes mothers breasts with hes elbow and goes "Your Your boobs felt very soft Mom..." i mean seriously? who the fuck would say that other then a 10 year old kid....its cringy as fuck.

It also gets annoying to listening to MC think "i can just imagine those things bouncing in my face" when he sees some big tits, when you as the player hate big tits and see them as nothing but a turn-off it makes it impossible to enjoy the game, and it has a big focus on big tit fetish with proberly 90% LIs with big tits, also MC cant concentrate in a conversation when he sees big tits, the tits is all that is on hes mind so again childish and nothing like a grown up young man.

Being a sandbox you might think you can just skip those LIs you dont like but no cant even do that since quests are tied together, cant progress with the sister since you first have to progress mothers story.
The guide in it is pretty nice one of the best ive seen.

Choices in this game arent really choices, your set on a kinetic line where you have to click everything, like visit the Jane school for tutoring you have 3 choices 1 Concentrate, 2 Stare at her tits, 3 make a mistake, lets say you dont care about this LI at all so you pick Concntrate and quest is 1/9 done, next visit you cant click Concentrate since you done that once so to progress quest your forced to pick Stare at her brests or Mistake, but at some point you have to Stare at her brests which is the last thing in the world i want to do, also you got to love grinds its very slow progress with the girls.

The one virgin scene in game was piss poor as well, no blood which is ok since its not for all, but also 0 pain nothing but pure pleasure and MC just slamed it all in at one go, so yeah.....

Animations are good, if you ever get far enough into the game before having to quit from all the stuff your forced to do.

Music is the normal background stuff, nothing special.

I played this game since the start. so enough content to keep my interest.
For me a really good game with really nice renders, great story twists and fun I Love this game, and look forward to each update that comes.

I've been playing this game on and off for a few years now.
The Renders are great, the story is well written, the spicy content is awesome and in a decent quantity (you don't have to wait 30 mins between scenes like in other story driven games).

I really enjoy this game no matter what other people said!
This is one of the best AVN and is truly top tier

That Logan need to be cucked and Dad life is needed to be ruined

Pros
- Character Design is HOT DAMM!! Every women character is mesmerizing and having the best skin texture ( Mom and Isa is my favorite )
- Render is what I call perfect! the lighting, The animation all perfect
- The Animation in sex scene is really fap material
- This game have really great teasing
- Interesting story but with some annoying element
- Many sex scene

Cons
- Female organism has no URINATION!! that's too baddd
- Sandbox can be too much clicking
- MC are kinda dumb and never plan anything genius
- Dad and Logan is annoying and logan having a lovely girlfriend that is not fitting him and Dad is a jerk
- Stat are kinda confusion and limiting the choice
- Many character is too easily to corrupt and give in to intimate
- competition thing is dumb and lame

Thanks a lot for really good game and hoping for a lot more

No wonder this game has 3.5 rating. Hell even 3.5 is too much. MC in this one is so pathetic and annoying, that it's just impossible to tolerate. The huge grind and little progressions with dull story are not helping at all... Overall playing this "game" i had a feelling that the dev was aiming for the most disgusting experience possible. Which he achieved, gotta give him credit. Good job!

This game has been around for a minute, eh I played it when it first released and now the latest version. I can't believe that the MC still hasn't really been with the landlady. Other than that, this game is pretty good.

The models look overstylized, like someone took young presets and tried to milf them.

The characters aren't better in my view. MC is pro cheating. You're forced to bang a cheater right in the beginning, some trash girl who's also the girlfriend of your own friend. How should we identify with such a person?

The sisters aka roommates are strange as well, don't really match the stereotypes of sisters, but of milfs.

The pricing of the Elite version is a joke.

I only installed the mods referenced here, and my antivirus detected malicious bytecode that the game executes via wscript. The responsible code isn't introduced by the mods though, it's just the game that seemingly tries to exploit the system if someone messes with the game scripts. Never had any issues with other RenPy games. There's no reason to execute wscript that I'm aware of.

Personally think this is one of the better games out there when it comes to multiple scenes/ content. Many of the characters seem original and interesting. I personally don't like some of the story and i think it is somewhat boring but i do like the direction the game is going.

Fun game
I like the story and the models are really nice to look at too.

For me, I got into Lewdlabs because of Dreams of Desire and have been following them since.
Although there have been some long breaks and sudden changes, I still really enjoy what they are doing with this game and cant wait for more content.

Dude, gameplay is smooth, the UI is not clunky for a sandbox and the models are fucking amazingly done... Joyce (the mom) is a 27/10

I have no idea how you can render a semen demon like that or how many GPU's you got to put to work for it, the sister are also amazing especially the older one.

Holy shit, i really liked the game.
The models are hot, it's a bit grindy but you have a lot of scenes with the female characters, the story is okay-good, the dialogues are very good.

I'll keep on playing this game with on future versions

EDIT 12-06-24:

Played again after a couple updates, everything I said below is still 100% accurate. There's no point playing this right now (or maybe ever) since the open world is "layered" on top of finishing previous lines up to certain points. Want to main the older sister? Nah fuck you, have to get younger sister to xxx stage, mom to xxx stage, main story to xxx stage, friend to xxx stage, etc etc etc. Worse, the dev still never fixed the fact that when you buy a fancy apartment you still wake up in your parent's shitty basement. Dumb.

Models: 9/10
Sisters: Fully shaved, do fuck, yes cream
Mom: Hairy, only boring pre-sex crap
Aunt: Hairy, likewise
Father: Mostly absent
Conspiracy: Of course
Satisfying conspiracy progress: lmao are you new here

And then there's the absolutely unforgivable part: ABYSMAL open world. I love this mechanic in my AVNs, but there is literally no point for it to exist here and it ruins this game in every single way. "You must progress A's line to continue" then "you must progress B's line to continue" and so on with every single girl, and then also the main quest, repeat back and forth. There's zero agency since it all must be done in a specific order anyway. There are some side activities I suppose, but those are entirely pointless since the game doesn't even recognize previous progression; for example, I've already banged the older sister but when I do a "booty call," she gives me a handjob or whatever and talks all about "the line we cannot cross no matter what." Huh? I dumped a gallon of cum inside you last night but now you're being coy? Then there's the fact the MC eventually buys a new apartment but when you go to sleep you still wake up in the parents' basement.

I thought about being creative with my review, but why even bother with this game. It's the worst because these models are seriously hot and even have some decent characterization, but it's completely spoiled by the gameplay itself. The fact there was only teasing for the first few hours then all of a sudden you're balls deep in the sisters means we're already experiencing the death spiral of either the dev or this game. Don't get invested, it's simply not worth it.

I would give 3,5 if I could, but between 3 and 4, I tend to a 3.

The game itself is great: Great models, graphics and an entertaining story that's fun to explore, also the sex scenes are animated above average.

But what really diminishes the experience is the very tidious grind that is the same for every woman, the missed opportunities and the clunky UI.

For example, every night when you need to go to bed, you manually need to navigate to your sleeping room. Why don't you just offer us a little "go to sleep" icon? Same goes for daily events, if you want to check out who's where at what time doing which activity for what level of progress points (complicated, I know), you need to open the interface, click through the portraits of all 3 women and keep in mind when they're at what place - or alternatively go back and forth, back and fort, back and forth.

A way more comfortable way would be to just show a little either green or white or grey colored icon next to them when you meet them in the house, implying whether there is progress to gain or not, and in what degree. Or add a room overview to the bottom and put portraits and icons next to it.

Then, to progress with each girl, you need to go through the exact same stuff. So if you meet them in the bathroom, you need to talk to them, talk to them again, then again, then you unlock to put lotion on them, (2-3x), then on their legs, then on their booty. Then you can take photos, first normally, then posing, then braless, then nude.

This takes (ingame) weeks and you start over at 0 with each girl, and these scenes aren't really exciting. They are boring af to be honest. Also, you need to give each 7 different pointless massages or so to finally unlock the first sexual scene where the MC puts his fingers into their pussy (wow - not!).

Then, these scenes are close up. So you don't see the girls facial expression, their full body, the experience, you just see a random hand/fingers going into some close up butt/pussy, which kills the whole immersion.

There were sooo many great opportunities to do something cool instead. Let them accidentally touch, suck, or jerk off to (on) somone. Get creative by putting them into exciting situations where they come sexually closer without actually wanting to do that first.

There's a full household with 3 girls and a maid, and several other characters, and not once any opportunity was taken. Instead, we go through the same processes over and over again.

The game is good enough to keep me invested right now, but it's disappointing to see this game failing at the exact same parts most games fail. The devs really need to re-think how they d e s i g n their game. It's not called game d e s i g n for no reason boys!

Yet another game with an amazing MILF in it going to waste due to every other sex scene being a blowjob, handjob, titwank or otherwise something that's only getting the dude off while nothing is done for her. She just walks away as if making him cum was all she wanted. Very, very fucking typical of these types of games. MC also has way too much internal dialog. There's a few decent cunnilingus scenes for the mom, but they're not animated. Nor are her masturbation scenes, which are both pretty boring and one doesn't even show her pussy while she's doing it. Meanwhile the boring finger banging scene is and one where she gives her daughter head is. I wonder why that is. Probably because the daughter had a young, bald cunt, the way these guys who don't really appreciate mature women like it. You can tell by the camera angle and amount of detail they put into that scene vs the one for the mom. Oh, and all the handjob, blowjob, titwank and even scenes where the MC is just jerking off are animated. But not the handful of scenes where the mom is being pleasured.

The reason I give this 3 stars and not 2 is because the mom has a nice bush and looks her age. If you download this, do yourself a favor and get the cheat mod or gallery unlocker if you don't want your time wasted.

Took a very long time for me to get around to playing this but I'm glad I waited as long as I did. The old, scathing reviews seem correct for the time but the dev seems to have made a ton of changes to address concerns and make the game much better.
Models are excellent, the escalation in sex stuff with the main girls is very slow but has great payoff, and the side girls deliver it a lot faster.
Main criticism right now are that it seems mandatory to use the walkthrough mod to know what the hell you need to do, to the point where the dev should honestly just hire the guy to make them before each release.
I also think it's missing some of the corruption angle I was expecting with the Halo drug, the story works very well without it but I can imagine some people like me who enjoy darker versions of corruption might be disappointed.

Good game.

Incredible game! The attention to detail in the models and the seamless navigation make for an amazing experience. The intuitive relationship system adds an extra layer of fun. And let's not forget the consistent updates – it's evident how much care is put into keeping the game fresh and exciting. Keep up the fantastic work!
