Unity - Midnight Sin [v0.3.1] [Faerin]

So far the game is much better than Faerin's previous games. Both visually and mechanically. Not as grindy as Mystwood Manor, characters have more soul and appear more realistic.

However, the game been in development for a year and you think it has at least some content to be worthy to download - you are wrong.

v0.3.1
There is only a single blowjob and vaginal scene happened on the first in-game day with the SIDE character, this game has no more content involving MC.

Don't bother trying out this game. It needs at least another 1 or 2 years of development

I played A LOT of diffrent Games so far. Also Man of the House and MM wich seems pretty cool.

This Game is by far one of the best. I like the Game-Style, the Story and just how everything looks. Also the mechanics are very smooth.

Cant wait for more Updates since there is no real XXX-Scene so far, because playing it in V0.3.

Props for this Masterpiece so far.

By the Way pls. add pregnancy in the later game ... would be delicious

It's a typical game by this dev and feels like too many others you already played. The renders are good. Be careful you don't click on the wrong arrow and go to the wrong room one too many times or you will get the luxury of the game immediately ending. The game really isn't fun and what good is a game that isn't fun. It's just a retread of countless other games who actually do it better.

The developer builds on their previous experience, creating a new game that features very similar elements to their past games like:

1. Point and click/Sandbox style game in Unity engine
2. The game taking place mostly in a single location like a huge house, where the MC comes and fucks all the ladies living there
3. Harem with some incest, corruption

If you like these elements, this game does a great job given the dev’s past experience. Hopefully there's more content for the story and things to do in the game as it it's still only in the first year since it's release.

Great UI and nice renders

• The UI is really nice, clean and makes it easy to interact and navigate in this sandbox.
• Renders look great, really improving on the dev’s prior works. The models look good, even the MC. The mansion setting where the game mostly takes place in actually feels unique rather than the typical same crappy Daz3D mansion you see in visual novels.
• The animations are solid, but the sex scenes could be better. There’s moaning sounds as well, but they still feel a little stale.

There’s gameplay in the sandbox, but it feels limited in content right now...

It's a new game, so hopefully there will be more content on the way.

• It’s one of those sandboxes with schedules and the clues make it straightforward in what you have to do or find to solve puzzles. There’s a few minigames too.
• However, with a lot of these sandbox type games, they struggle with either not much to do or too much grinding for money or stats. This one doesn’t have much to do outside of interacting with the ladies in the house. The puzzles that are in the game are the ones you have to solve anyway to reveal a secret that’s part of the main story anyway.
• There are other locations and a timer that reflects travel time, but you don’t currently get to do anything at these other places. There’s no ‘optional side’ content like other ladies to meet outside the house or anything.
• Currently, it is linear and feels restrictive because of the above reasons. You can make story decisions that impact lust/love stats for the ladies at the house, but it’s mostly just to have the stats go up to unlock more scenes with them.

Story? You’ve seen it before, but there’s hopefully more…

The premise is fairly basic and it's going for the same harem sandbox incest thing you've seen before. The writing is solid and the tone is grounded as there’s a sort of nice slow burn as the MC discovers something going on with the house and his father’s murder.

Ultimately, there’s a BDSM focus and I wouldn’t call this corruption as it wasn’t really something the MC set out to do, but the MC will likely fuck everyone in the mansion.

It’s not doing much to make itself unique, but feels the most grounded and well done compared to games doing this same song and dance.

Never been much of a fan of mindless fuckfest games and this game wont change that either, it has a relationship system which apprently dosent mean fuck all, i treated one of the maid like shit and she turns up in your room and strip nude and end with giving MC a BJ and fuck her, you cant tell the bitch to fuck off so it really just is a fuckfest which is just no fun, might as well visit a porn site instend since its not really a game when it dosent give you choices, never found joy in fucking people you hate hole game loses any meaning, also it just dosent make any kind of sense since its MCs first day on the job and hes promissed a shit ton of money and he chooses to risk it all to make a main whos been nothing but a bitch to him, which is why story just fell apart to me after that.

And you can see it the "plot" from miles away that being forced to fuck the maid will either be recorded by her to use on you or someone else will know and blackmail ya, i mean its seen 5 million times before why not come up with something new and it just follows the kinetic set storyline its all just meh.

Funny enough game starts out saying how your choices will matter and how people will act and treat you, but when getting minus points ends with a BJ then wtf is the point of the system, you also gain points just from doing your job which makes it harder to lose points with one you hate and since game is just kinetic why not just remove the system when it dosent mean anything.

MC is also one of those boring brainless idiots and even being a big dude and a bodyguard hes just to submissive and the lack of choices dosent help the game either and when he gets blackmailed into doing shit that would get him fired in 2 seconds i just couldent play anymore, hes to submissive to easy manipulated its just not fun.

Girls are pretty hot but ive never been a fan of having LIs forced on me which is also why i just never play kinetic games and i wish devs would learn to put that tag up so i wouldent have to waste my time, being a sandbox is still kinetic when you have no choices in anything.

Animations are decent and proberly the best thing about the game, but its not enough to keep you playing with a shit story.

Music is standard background stuff, nothing special.

Decent game, safe for all, vanilla like the ice cream.

Everything is well built, tested, all game is smooth and after you understand the gameplay dynamic is not as grind as it could seem.

Story is credible and characters are likable.

Well done, it is not my cup of tea but it is a decent game

A very decent game at this current build, shows a lot of promise and i can hardly wait for the latest update
Characters and plot were a bit synonymous to Man of the House but who cares~ As a long time fan of that classic game, I'd say I need me more of that stuff

While still early in its development, this game is very good already. Interesting story, beautiful graphics, and the gameplay is good. Can't wait to see what's to come with future updates on this one!

Faerin makes Faerin games.
There are no other games like Faerin games to me.

Sure there are plenty of "family house" style games, but Faerin's games feel unique to him.

MoTH is to this day one of the only games I have played multiple times. Mostly because I really, really enjoy the way Veronica's character is written and the general slow corruption of her. As well as the focus on detailed storylines for a handful of characters.

Furthermore, because I very much enjoy his particular style of sandbox, where you can handle characters storyline mostly in the order you want, and you always have clear tips telling you what to do next. It's simple enough to not be confusing, but detailed enough to make it fun.

However, Mystwood Manor was a bit dissapointing to me. A great game in it's own right, but not for me. There were more characters, and therefore less focus on each one.

Midnight sin seems to be more in line with MoTH . The game literally jokingly reference it. Mystwood manor graphically / esthetically is a step up from MoTH , and the animations have improved quite a bit. The improvements in graphics and animation and every other skill Faerin has polished during Mystwood manor over to a MoTH style game pleases me greatly. The addition of good sfx usage during H scenes is also a huge +.

In general, Midnight sin currently feels quite empty. However, that's simply because development has just reached the point of finishing the foundation. And the foundation is really solid. In general Midnight sun feels like a more polished MoTH structure wise currently. The UI is cleaner, (but oh so familiar).

Victoria is great so far, and I hope she can be the next Veronica for me personally (but ofc different, just saying hope she will give me a similar vibe). In terms of character designs I love the character designs here even more than MoTH which is a great start.

The game truly just feels like MoTH but the MC is adult this time (which is better to me) and Faerin has improved leaps since making MoTH and get to make this one even better. I couldn't be more exicted. I have no doubts Midnight sin will have it's own identity though. I'm not trying to say he is ripping himself of, just that it's closer to that style game than his most recent one.

Honestly Faerin has just become such a polished developer at this point, and consistently completes his games. Can't wait to see where it goes. Only thing im slightly worried about is supernatural elements. Mystwood made me feel like non of the characters were really romanced or corrupted by the MC, but influenced by supernatural elements. That removes most of the sensuality to me. Hope the story doesn't rely too much on that this time. Can't wait to see what this game is like when every day is filled with events.

TLDR:
It's early days and there isn't much content for a sandbox game. Makes the world feel a bit empty. However, the foundation is rock-solid. The game feels very polished (visually and audio wise). Once this gets some content im sure it will be amazing. Faerin has proved himself to consistently produce quality.

There is a few things that I really like with this game and that differ from most of the others.

First, the MC don't start fucking around after just a few minutes of gameplay. And I tend to loose interest in a game when the MC start putting his dick in every hole he can find.

Second, it hard to predict how the developer planning to develop this game; it is very hard to foresee what going to happen in the next release. And that is very much the opposite for most of the games that can be found here.

So overall, this game is really tempting

At first I thought "you are a body guard for a wealthy woman and her three daughters" was a great original premise that would give you classic porn gameplay (explore a house and fuck everyone in the family) without any weird fuck your sister fetish stuff, but within 5 minutes of playing the dev reveals that all the characters are actually your biological half sisters. Why exactly?? I guess it's so you can have a bunch of "gee, I guess I shouldn't be doing this?" hesitation from the MC, which doesn't really fit with the tough guy/bodyguard/PI protagonist.

Anyway, the art is really good and this game has a neat puzzle. Apart from the puzzle the romance stuff isn't that engaging, it's obvious what you're supposed to do and the girls have "love" and "lust" stats that go up as you do stuff for them, but those stats never seem to be used as checkpoints for anything, so you end up having to progress through everything linearly.

Good renders, interesting story and characters. Their personalities seems to contribute to the variety that the game could offer. Progress is a little slow in the beginning, so the story doesnt advance and the scenes are scarce

I've always loved Faerin games. No mattert what, I download and play the game withot any doubt. Frome his game "Man of the house", I liked the animations, the models, the scenario.... and he uploads new updates frequently. Keep going, you have all my support.

early stage of the game but very good, played the last games too and you notice an improvement. Characters are very beatuyful, cant wait to see more. Only wating for the next update playing Manors again in between.

TL/DR: Has a few red-flags like too much inner monologue, empty sandbox elements, ect- but it is a relatively new title that looks to be crafted with care and has a actually manly dude as a protagonist so its easy to overlook its warts and hope it'll become great!

+ Nice to be able to play as a handsome adult man instead of the usual VN fare.
+ Nice UI and some novel game-play elements.
+ The integration of paintings is a nice touch. Makes the sandbox feel more meaningful / interactive.
+ Map was nice to reduce endless clicking.
+ UI for character bio is really clean looking.
+ LI look nice and are produced with high quality.

Neutral:
~ Premise is a lil slap-dash, but it works
~Lots of empty non-interactive sandbox elements. Which is TBE in a fresh game, but is a red-flag to me since the devs other finished title Mystwood Manor had a major issue with unused locations and empty sandbox.
~Not much to do at the moment in the game. You just end clicking the time skip button a ton each day until you get to the one event you can do.

Cons:
- The protagonist's inner monologue does not match his looks. It is vibe whiplash. Why does this handsome fucker act like a virgin schoolboy so much. All the hehe's and other random cutesy shit didn't make much sense on him. It is like the dev literally cannot put themselves in the shoes of this character even just to write from their POV.
-Save functionality only works during certain times
-Meaningless railroading choices. Often one leads to a game-over, the other keeps you on the tracks. Also, there is pointless and unfunny 4th wall breaking text from the dev if you get a bad ending.
-The ratio of listening to this protagonist inner monologue about the same shit over and over again to anything actually happening is too damned high.
-A lot of the text in the ui elements is lower case when it should be capitalized.
-Progression systems of Love Points / Lust points is beaten to death at this point. Boring.
-The gals height being very homogeneous is a little aesthetically boring.
-Dialogue is porny and not very natural

Still in the begging but looks like is going to be one of the best if it keeps the current flowing! Beautiful art style good and ideas for developing the characters histories!

The creator is a compromissed one who have finished all his previus games, so im really excited to see what is coming from this one!

Version v0.1.5

First of all, having played Faerin's previous game "Mystwood Manor" I have to say I got some expectations for this new one.

In terms of story, its pretty early to comment about this but I hope it comes with more twist and turns than MM, since it was easy to spot who the bad guy was since the beginning.

About the bond you have with the characters, I understand there is a need to show intercourse early to catch the audience but with Rebecca it felt insanely rushed. Is she crazy? Or did I do something wrong?

About originality I hope this game is long, so no matter if the premise is simple, the development of the story is what entangles you, so right now at this stage is pretty difficult to say but I have hope in the creativity of the author.

Renders are, to me, pretty amazing. Why? I know... Not ultra realistic, but they have a unique touch and you can see there is a huge effort in post production to make them feel original, also you can see that even in the dialogues the character moves a little which is a wonderful touch of care and professionalism.

In the characters field I feel somehow disappointed (for now), why? Because in MM you had eight (8) beautiful and very different main female characters who had a very decent amount of scenes, also another six female minor characters to have fun with.

There was the black haired ultra voluptuous nurse, or the perfect nordic cutie who actually looked a lot like a normal nordic hottie, or the MILF who reminded me of Stifler's mom and how could I forget the last unlocked character who was a true bombshell and the redhead with her small tits and slender body.

In "Midnight Sin" you have 4 main and blood-related (similar) love interests and two minor characters with whom you can have fun with, at the moment. Hopefully, we can get many more characters with whom we can have several intercourse scenes with.

About the sound, pretty neat, I like the music choice and the way songs are made to be there, not take the spotlight and not be boring.

The playability in this game is very good, I feel that it still lacks a bit of visual development (in the map in particular) to the level to which Faerin had us accustomed, since the bar is so high. The user interface is easy to go by and I don't find any punctual difficulties with its use.

So, for the record I expect "Midnight Sin" to be much better than Faerin's previous work which was amazing, the bar is high but this is early in development so there is a lot of room for improvement. My five stars are in hopes for a much better game since I know how amazing his work can be.

Thanks for your attention and have a nice one!

Updating for v0.2.1 - let's call it a 3.5 but I'm very conflicted on this game.

My previous review (below) basically stands. The models and renders look very nice and the navigation is the best I've seen. You can travel anywhere with one click, everyone's location is always shown, and you can skip time straight from the map. Every game should have a system so good. Also, the painting puzzle was very clever. A+ for that.

The plot and gameplay are where this game falls flat for me. Not because they're unoriginal (which they are) but because of how forced everything feels. A lot of the relationship building happens during mandatory once-per-week trips you escort the girls on which contributes to empty sandbox feeling where you're skipping 12 hours every day to do "the content".

Even the free-roam stuff is railroaded. The main quest is to find five books. Why? Because the game tells you to search the house and, while doing so, you'll eventually find a weird bookcase missing five books and the MC decides to find the other books. Why not, instead, have the stalker drop a hint about the bookcase or maybe the MC hears a noise and goes downstairs and sees it move or something? Also, you can't find the books before locating the bookcase or find them out of order. They'll be there, but you can't interact with them until the game lets you.

There's a similar situation with two of the sisters where you can help them skip chores. At dinner, their mom will call them out on it and the first time you're only allowed to lie for the girls but after that you can snitch. It never felt like there was a reason to snitch but the hints tell you to do it and the game won't progress if you don't.

So, I like the visuals. I liked the painting puzzle. I don't like the fighting minigame (it's a rhythm game but the music doesn't match the visuals). And I don't like how much it felt like I was just doing what the in-game hints were telling me to do and not like I was investigating a murder.

So we have a new game from Faerin, again it did not disappoint, because it is at the beginning, the only problem is that you have to start the game from the beginning with each update, a problem that I think will be solved in the next updates. The characters are very well done in terms of design, although Olivia when she smiles makes me think of Chucky . As the story is going at the moment, I suspect that we will also have secondary characters with hot scenes.... Finally, congratulations to Faerin.

Review for v0.1.4

First, take this review with a big grain of salt. It's super early in development and honestly probably too soon for any real review in general. That being said, judging based on what is here, I am honestly pretty underwhelmed.

Though I enjoyed Mystwood Manor for what it was, my biggest problem with that game was the lack of complex characters and general character development. History already feels like it's repeating itself a bit. I really hope there is more going on beneath the surface with the love interests, as they feel very cliché so far. Each one is a very clear and exaggerated character trope. This makes them feel unnatural to me.

More than that, I already despise the MC. We play as a 36 year old bum whose inner monologue consists only of pervy comments (so far, at least). Man am I sick of that. I have seen this exact type of MC in a dozen different visual novels and I didn't enjoy it in any of them either. Only in those, we play as a dumb horny teenager instead of a dumb horny man child. It makes the MC feel like a major creep. Beyond that though? Nothing sticks out about him (in a boring sort of way). He's lacking in both maturity and general competence.

Plot wise nothing to speak about really. It seems the focus is more on the girls themselves, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It is painfully obvious who is blackmailing us (though if I am wrong on this one, I'll take the egg on my face). Considering the MC is supposed to be running a security business, it feels comical how he is immediately made helpless. If this is a sign of things to come, I have little hope for him.

The sex scene with the maid did absolutely nothing for me. I get it was supposed to be a bit abrupt, but I can't get into scenes that happen immediately with characters we know nothing about. It gives off fuckfest vibes, and those really aren't my style most of the time.

At the same time, I have no real idea what this game is going for. If it wants to be a more, lets say simple, harem sandbox with an overall less serious tone then fair enough. I can accept it isn't for me. I have no doubt that a lot of people will love this game given the dev's track record, and I even want to like it myself. I hope I'm proven wrong and things end up going deeper than I'm giving it credit for. But if you're like me and place a lot of value in more complex and in-depth writing/characters, this ain't it so far (once again only based on this very short and early build).
