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

A lot of content plus developer has a reputable track record. Great visuals and variety of very hot girls. Unlike many other games it actually has plot, character development and really amazing (hot) side stories. I very much recommend the game.

Great renders, but main issues come from the open world (as per usual) and your older sister being a ho.

So you play as a guy who wants to bang his sisters and mom normal stuff. Your moms hot and little sister is cute but your older sister is a total capital H ho. When she gets kidnapped and assaulted, she tells you she kinda liked it afterwards? Disgusting, I mean yuck seriously remove this woman out of the house blerghh

But yeah your little sister is cute, problem is theres barely any content for her 3 years + and no sex scene with the only character you care about? hahaha this wont be finished for another 6 years at this pace.

Also the sandbox element is just a pain in the ass, I get it its cool to go around the map or whatever but it takes so much time that is just absolutely wasted for no enjoyment when you click on arrows to get where you need to be. Pain in the ass. Visual novels simply are far superior to sandbox

But yeah the games been underdevelopment for years now and it will take several more to be finished most likely never. And with the creepy ntr route things are going I dont care to keep track of updates to be totally honest. Isballa or whatever her name is was absolutely ruined. What a waste. And only good characters have barely any content, just isnt worth it

I had bigger expectations judging from the pictures and tags. However there is big room for improvement and with the right scenes the rating can be at least 4.4/5. I wish I had more choices on some occasions, I feel like the dev was rushing to add some sex scenes so people don't complain, but that made the main story a bit dull

Music, writing, story, characters all very good in my opinion. Renders good as well but lacking in wetness effects. No grinding involved whatsoever and the distance between text passages and new scenes is also well chosen. I only rarely felt like skipping and never felt like something was a nuisance.
In its current state the game is very petting-heavy, but that's simply a good decision from the devs to start from niche-stuff like feetjobs, thighjobs and so on.

The finished game is going to be top tier in its genre.

One of the best games currently being created, it might not be for everyone, but it's great.

I believe an issue is that the DEV spends too much time on each update for not much content (usually a few scenes and some extras).
The problem with this is that it will get people angry every update, while the story due to be released in the next update will make the game better when combined with the most released update.
If people just see a part of the story and not the full thing, it might not sound so great.

Only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the cumshot/creampie renders.
There is rarely any liquid shown, most of the time it's only implied.
It would be perfect if they took their time making better renders involving liquids.

As others have said as of right now the only good thing about this game are the graphics other then that...well lets be real it went downhill with each update it had (and boy they are small and far apart) There is also a very important tag missing and that is NTR,they dance around is saying it doesnt fit the site rules but trust me its there and if you're not a fan its gonna come as a low blow since its been added after 3 years.Story wise is getting worse and worse and honestly it doesnt feel like its being written by the same guy anymore.One of the few games that had great potential and i mean really good but sadly it can only go even further downhill.

It is a strange game... to tell the truth, the only good thing is the graphics since the characters are very boring, not to mention the protagonist who has the charisma of a rock and is mentally ill and the story that seems like a fantasy of a 14-year-old teenager after watching a series of drug traffickers to the icing on the cake as many say camouflaged NTR AND rape.

This one really hurts as DoD was one of my first AVNs and still a favorite. The worst part about that game was the super creepy perv MC, and this one makes him look like a teddy bear. Such a tool, really annoying to play as a middle school sex offender.
Gets an extra star for the renders, but other than that it's worse in about every way.
Story drags and doesn't engage the player much at all. Bad NTR vibes that really should just be left out in an incest game.
Just overall a mess of a story and characters that doesn't hold itself together due to the lack of decent lewd scenes.
Maybe it could be saved, but that would require a new MC and total story rewrite, so probably better to dump it and start fresh.
Also, rape sucks. Wish Devs would stop using it as a plot device.

Honestly, the game starts out somewhat strong and just quickly gets worse and worse. There are of course problems with the development cycle of this game, but regardless of that the game itself has too many problems. The stretching of content in this game is absurd. The story just drags on and is not really that interesting and the game takes forever to see any action with any character you are interested in. Seeing as of now you can still not sleep with the two of the main girls and the third apparently had NTR introduced to her story. Just a developer who lost interest in the project and is throwing shit at the wall.

[v0.15b Elite]
Nice renders, beautiful and hot female characters but the story is really bad, this last update was terrible. Isabel's scene was unnecessary and pointless , MC's jerk attitude makes this even worse.

The game was nice at the start, very nice models, the mom is just to freaking hot, then mc starts to be a wannabe be drug dealer, still could live with that but then the lack of updates or better saying the amount of time for content in the game was just bad, in last update after I don't even know how many months of waiting for the update we are "rewarded" with a NTR(rape) scene of MC sister.
Review up to v0.15b and will not be updated since it's going to the ignore list.

Can't recommend it for other than renders

When it comes to renders and models this game is maybe top 10. But boy, oh boy has the quality of this game gone down the shitter. The story isn’t even appealing to me anymore, started off as just a slacker but stud type of college student to a ridiculous fake ass GTA drug dealer who in the last 3 years barely gotten any pussy. Make matters worse, mock controversy was added but quickly was turn into just a random incident as the character that was assaulted just got fucked and acted like nothing ever happened, no police, or test to see if she possibly contracted something from her druggy ex... just a fuck and a forget about it. Moronic choice for an already moronic storyline.

Young adult suffers setback, goes back to his landlady and suddenly finds himself embroiled in an annoying incoherent plot that has nothing to do with the actual purpose of this generic land-game. Don't bother "playing" it aka clicking through thousand of lines of atrocious dialogue and a poorly designed sandbox UI. Instead, download the cheat/gallery unlock mod and watch the gfx and h-scenes.

Though I use the term "h-scene" loosely given the majority of them are massages handjobs titfucks and "thighjobs". Btw thighjob is the lamest sex position ever, primarily bc it only happens in porno land-games and either wouldn't work or be extremely uncomfortable and awkward in real life.

Render quality is good, lighting work is adequate, models are unique and hot. Both stills and anims during the sex scenes looked rigid and unnatural to me. Even the model featured on the OP banner looks like a posed sexdoll.

Like I said, just watch the h-scenes. Others may like them more than I did.

Good renders but story doesn't make sense. The 'roommate' gets raped by her ex so you comfort her by..... having sex with her. Barely any sex scenes and sexual content with the ex HAD to be added before the MC could get some.

Been waiting for years for a new update and all that's added in updates is random "elite" scenes completely unrelated to the main story. This game started out great but after waiting for years for an update to the story we get some content just to appease the people annoyed with the lack of timely updates and to keep milking patreon donations.

The graphics and animations are incredible! But besides that nothing substantial has been released in years for this game. All that's added in the "elite" is just random "extra" scenes no update to story do not waste your time with this game. This is why alot of people hate sandboxes because the DEVS usually do this. They create this huge ambitious sandbox story that usually does not have enough content to even justify a sandbox game.

Most of the time you're left with huge empty maps with little content and lots of "grind" the DEVS use to cover up this fact. Then when the DEVS realize this they release random small "extra scenes" and the quality of updates normally isn't worth the squeeze. Don't bite off more then you can chew DEVS just take the L and abandon the game instead of trying to milk your patreons for money that is not being reciprocated with the quantity or quality in updates.

It seems like the MC of this is a sub that likes to be blue balled. If you like that sort of thing this is one would be good for you. But if you are looking for sex, not so much. The renders are good. The story needs cleaned up a bit but it's not bad. I think if it was not a sandbox it might flow better. There are at least two parts where that can not be skipped though, so you are left to watching slow moving renders slide across the screen. Even though This game was not for me, I would have gave it one more star if not for that.

Version 0.14

Game that started well enough, but fell into a development hell. Dev tried to expand the story first throwing around titfucks and thightjobs, but failed to write down the story first. Then the dev started to remake his other game and for a year there was no news.

Now, there is:

- a somewhat developed main plot that barely passed the prologue stage

- no actual sexual interactions with any of the main cast. Thighjobs and other "almost blowjob" are plenty, but nothing further than that.

For all intends and purposes, this game is in a 0.04 stage of development and in a limbo where the developer has no idea what to do with it. It might as well be abandoned.

I do not advise anyone to try it before and if it is finished.

A pretty good sandbox game with some serious plot and realism issues.

Pros

• Excellent renders
• Excellent character models
• Beautiful character models
• Likable characters (overall)
• Good lewd/sex scenes (overall)
• A decent amount of content

Cons

• At the beginning of the game, the MC has flashbacks and dreams of having sex during his past college exploits. Instead of doing this, I would have greatly preferred starting out at college and showing the MC's wild lifestyle with lots of fun, drugs, and sex and then move when he flunks out of college. It would have been awesome to see a detailed event play out with banging the professor's daughter.
• The MC makes a bet with Isabel while watching a TV show, wins, and gets to touch her breasts but the scene ends up being lackluster. It only shows the MC with one hand on one breast with no movement or anything else. This was a missed opportunity! I would have groped the shit out of her breasts and animate the scene well.
• Lots of events are missing their conclusion. This is the style of the author but I'm not a fan. For example, the MC gets Ruby a job and then never tells her about it and the story just continues on like the conversation happened automatically in the background. It happens again with getting paid $20,000 for the car theft. It continues to happen throughout the game, why?
• The MC is suppose to be going to college but the game doesn't require that the MC ever attend. As long as the MC completes his tutoring sessions all is good.
• Free drinks at the nightclub
• Not a fan of the large white circle mouse cursor
• Not enough events happening in the evening. I find myself having to skip time frequently.
• The sandbox mechanics in this game are questionable. It is debatable whether or not there are enough story events to justify it. Most of the time it plays out like a visual novel except that I have to click five or six times to advance the story instead of only clicking once.
• There are morality, lust, and culture stats in the game, however they are rarely used. There is no consistency here and it is disappointing.
• Ruby gets way too jealous of her brother (MC) at the beginning of Ruby's 'Love' path. She acts like the MC is her boyfriend (in relationship only, not physically). The progression needs to be more gradual.
• The Map only shows outdoor locations. It would be helpful and save a lot of time to have the map show interior rooms at your home to save mouse clicks. The better sandbox games out there do this.
• With Isabel's massages, you unlock massage #2 and #3 and then later on it says you unlocked more massages for Isabel and then it just places a "New" message on the same two massages you unlocked earlier (identical content).
• Isabel loses another bet on a TV show and the MC gets to suck on her breasts. The dev chooses to ruin the scene with 2 FPS choppy animations.
• $1500 a month for rent? Seriously?
• The 'Talk' options with the girls in your house need to be expanded. Each girl has two talk options that are used at the beginning of the game and then they update maybe once after that.
• When watching porn on your laptop you get interrupted 100% of the time by your sisters or mother. At least make it random. The MC can never fap in his own bedroom successfully. The event never progresses in the game, everyone is just surprised and leaves.
• So the MC has to borrow a truck to transport drugs??? Halo is super expensive, the pills are tiny and rare yet his junker car doesn't have a big enough trunk to hold it??? Then he needs an entire warehouse to store the drugs??? The MC is a newbie at this and suddenly he becomes the largest drug cartel in the country???
• The MC is given two large crates of halo which would likely be millions of dollars worth of drugs. There is no security at all when he loads up the valuable drugs into the truck. He seemingly gets all the expensive drugs for free. He has no security at his drug warehouse. The MC is somehow trusted with millions of dollars worth of drugs with no experience selling or distributing them. The list of unrealistic behavior of the MC and story events is huge!
• The MC shows his drug warehouse to Ruby and his mother to show off??? How stupid is this MC? He puts his loved ones potentially in harms way. He then hires his sister to work at his new business.
• The MC owes a lot of people favors and yet few are collected throughout the story. Everyone seems to be willing to bail out the MC when he is in trouble and help him out without a second thought.
• The MC is making all this cash at his business yet personal money never increases.
• The MC rents an apartment and never asks how much the rent is and no money is asked for up front.
• Lack of progress with your sisters and mother. You never get to vaginal or anal penetration.
• The maid is super hot for the MC right from the start with no buildup. She wants to fuck his brains out right from the beginning.

The plot and story are hard to swallow and aren't realistic. I understand that the game isn't finished but the author leaves all these mysterious things happening up in the air with zero explanation. The player is just suppose to accept it all in good faith?

College dropout to drug lord in a matter of weeks?

Lots of realism issues throughout the game that made me cringe. The MC is trusted to sell and distribute a very expensive and rare drug that is extremely difficult to duplicate. The whole premise is really hard to swallow. The MC is moving millions of dollars worth of drugs around town with zero security or security measures.

I did enjoy my experience with the game but it isn't without frustrations. The best part of the game are the gorgeous renders and character models.

I'm not sold on the sandbox mechanics for this game. Most of the time the player only had one or two choices anyway so it mostly plays out like a visual novel, just with a lot of additional mouse clicks.

The animations vary a lot in quality. Some are really great and others are two frames.

I rate the game 3.5 stars but since I can't I'm throwing the dev a bone and rating it 4 stars.

I don't recommend the game for those who hate sandbox games but I do recommend it for everyone else.

I'm giving this game 2 stars, 1 star because of the fantastic renders and the other star because some scenes were pretty hot, that's all the good on this game.

The downside is huge:

1) this game dragged for months/years with little to none interaction with the 4 main girls, which are the only ones that I find highly attractive
2) during those months the dev kept adding new and uninteresting characters, I mean, with 4 main girls, what's the need of adding more and more other girls? come on...
3) the story of the game is stupid, 4) not only the story is stupid, but it keeps evolving in more stupid incoherent ways to avoid the real story we want to see (this idiot MC relation with the interesting girls of the game)
5) when the MC actually started to get some skin contact with the main girls, suddenly the developer turned into Ic$t0r mode and stopped releasing updates with million excuses constantly ignoring his own deadlines

In sum, this was probably the most promising game when 0.1 was released, honestly, awesome renders and a really nice new retro kind of interface, all this went down the drain over the months and years.

Probably one of the most promising games out there, good story, nice characters , wished that the choices that you make would matter more, however they may in the future updates. I hope that we will see the project completed.
