Unreal Engine - Modern Luxury [v0.3.0.0] [CherryPie]

I'll wait for the release. Great idea!
It is clear that the developer is trying. Good luck with the development of this project. I really liked the story in the game. The Android system malfunctioned, causing Android to go beyond what was permitted. it is a masterpiece!

Let's be honest here, the main selling point is the graphical side of things, and that side is holy damn incredible. You could count games that look at least half this good on one hand. The animations are also incredible, all the material bending, the physics of the body parts etc. This alone is worth 5*.

As for the gameplay, I would change a lot of things honestly. You can quite easily miss a lot of the game just by engaging in certain behavior by mistake (well, you see F, so you press it, and end up in Ch2 instantly, losing about an hour+ worth of content). This should change. You should get reprimanded, but it should not lock you out of content really. Second, the chores are too, how to put it, unengaging. I would expand on them so they are more than just go there, click a button and see a cutscene/animation. I would introduce some gameplay elements there so it's interactive, and maybe even choices during them so you can kinda pick the direction of the event.

Technical side is well, not that great. Having to use DX11 command to even start the game, getting several bugs immediately (mainly save screen and streaming overlay staying active even though you already finished) etc., but those things can be fixed later on, and I am sure they will. It's something that will disappear.

All and all, this might be the best game if expanded upon. Please expand the mechanics so it's not just an animation viewer, and you get an amazing game out of this project!

This game reminded me of Detroit, it's an incredible game you created, I wish you all the success in the world, I hope you continue creating this game because it's incredible!

One suggestion, creating more clothing options for the android, for example, without panties, or completely naked, something like that, would be fun!

I really enjoyed this game; I liked the progression of the scenes despite the slightly high grind, it doesn't ruin the game for me, and the path it takes. What I miss (probably because it's in early access) is more things to interact with on the map and that leading to new scenes. The player doesn't have so much choice, but I also think it will be implemented since there is a dialogue system, and you can upset someone. Probably more things will be added to do. This game has good potential, and I look forward to good news and updates about the game! : D

Excellent idea with enough content already, main character looks fantastic and outfits are great once you get to chapter 2. Need some work and bug fixing. (settings menu got stuck, some cutscenes are bugged and savegames can stop working) but i'm eager to see new updates and future chapters

Its a bit janky in places; performance isn't mazing, and there are a lot of bugs ... BUT .... this has a lot of potential to be pretty fun and rewarding once there is more content; one of the few Unreal engine games on here that I really think has potential!

This could be a great game and, when it is, I'll update my review. For now, I'll share what I liked and didn't like.

Pros:
1a. It runs pretty well on a laptop, which is where I enjoy most of my lewd content.
1b. The graphics appear to be fairly well-optimized with decent rendering. I also enjoyed some of the interesting visuals, like the eyes fading in and out when the android powers off and on.
2. The story, what there is of it, is engaging and the lore is intriguing. I just wish there was more of it.
3. For an indie game, the design is pretty good and my playthrough was mostly smooth with only two frustrating bugs.

Cons:
1. Very limited sexual content during a normal playthrough. For a lewd game, there is too much non-sexual, non-story content and not nearly enough sexual content.
2. Too much grind. Picking up every single piece of flatware and every single beer can was frustrating the first time and infuriating by the fifth. None of the grinding adds to the story and gets extremely frustrating, though some of the cleaning and showering visuals were enjoyable.
3. Too much tedium and not enough plot or lewd content. Outside of grinding and repetitive tasks, many of the encounters or other activities don't provide much lore or advance the story. The lewd content is way too limited for this type of game.
4. Animations need work. While the rendered visuals appear solid and the design is good, all of the "couple" animations show a lot of clipping, and while there is some great dynamic movement in parts of the scene, other parts appear stiff or haphazard. Actual facial expressions would also be nice.

I realize this is a bit of a harsh critique and I really see a lot of promise here. It just still needs a lot of work. Compared to other independent developers working with Unreal Engine, I'd rank this between 35th and 45th percentile. It's just below middle-of-the-pack. I'd give it another star easily if even one of the issues I mentioned was fixed. With less grind and more lewd content, especially with improvements to the animations and more dynamic scenes, I'd be excited to give it 4 stars even without much story content. But even with a fantastic story, this level of grind vs sexy content would put me off playing it again.

so, played it for a while before reviewing.

chapter one seems alright, mostly just cleaning the houses, and paying night visits to your owner, but after a while nothing really happens, as it bugs out and doesnt unlock the interaction of your owner catching you Mid BJ. plus theres a bug once you unlock the choice of your activity.. that if you choose passed out josh, his bedroom locks if you served him breakfast the night before, and you have to save and load to unlock it.


chapter 2. played for about half an hour, and although you have more freedom, it is by far the most tedious and boring so far. no variety in your tasks, no easy way to serve drinks. now at the start the serving of drinks was somewhat educational, even for me. and that was great! but eventually the novetly wares off, and its "wake up, serve drinks, get molested, garbage, glasses, home, shower, sleep, repeat" and occasionally youll clean the house, which is grand. but what doesnt make sense, is that the night before i had served customers, cleaned the bar.. then after cleaning the house, it sends me directly back to the bar JUST to sort out the glasses and garbage again. makes ZERO sense.

i think what the issue is, theres no clear sense of direction, its just tedious for the sake of being so, rather than it having a bigger purpose, that ends up serving a purpose later on. i think having some grind is ok, but the creator needs to understand, that we're here to fap. and on a back burner priority, maybe have some fun outside of horny needs. so i think some more direction is needed, and some focus.

the graphics are beautiful, i get no lag at all. im on an rtx 4060, i5 8600k, 32gb ddr4 ram. and i have SSD, but i run my hentai games off my 2TB HDD, unless its needed to be moved, in which case i do. but i think you need to embrace MORE hentai/porn, rather than trying to create an RPG level of grind, as most of us are here to fap, have fun, and explore kinks in a safe enviroment.. and its only a bonus if it ends up having a good story.. which this games narrative isnt really that focused/driven to be able to review that, as its not exactly strong, its told by holo tapes fallout 76 style.

the premise of the game has great promise, it just needs more direction, bug fixes, and QOL features and updates. i think its off to an OK start, youve got the foundation there, but noone wants to repeat the same task for over an hour or so to get varied scenes, no scenes are worth that time.

bug: audio bug, when i turn some audio options down, they dont save.

WISHLIST: Futa/trans options, dude options too, which i see. possible m/m? more varied scenes, more varied choices, more varied tasks, and random varied outcomes that are tweaked to be rewarding for your efforts, and just enjoyable, and bonus.. MORE INTERACTIVE. add choices, let the player decide when they wanna end the scene, let them decide how the scene plays.

and by god, a fkn walkthrough.

once suggestions are taken, and i play a later build, ill update my review.

I do genuinely like this game, I just feel as if we were going around in circles redoing stuff over again. It'd be so much better if we could just get something in place in terms of making drinks / serving etc and stick with it for now and make some decent progress on content / interactions.

The character model is actually decent and wish there was a bit more customisation options in terms of more hair colour and styles, breast sliders, buttocks and what have you.

Looking forward to see where this game goes.

This game could be great but it just isn't. Chapter 1 is basically you working at a house and then you bang the homeowner and it skips to chapter 2 where you grind your ass off at a bar where you make little to no money for these "upgrades". You can buy 2 other servers that help you serve drinks but it's random on which customers they serve and when you ask them what they would like to drink, the other servers can not give any customer a drink so you're stuck with all these drinks orders. THE DRINK MAKING IS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. Some of the drinks have way more ingredients than others and the ingredients don't even make sense in the first place! You have to keep switching back and forth from the recipe to making the drink unless you take a picture of it on your phone. If you don't do that, it's just a huge waste of time. The sex scenes in the stall are so dumb. If you were actually paid for these sexual services, it would make sense however you aren't and it doesn't make any sense to do it. It's literally a "throw out the trash simulator" if you wanna look at it this way. The little annoying thing that was changed was you used to walk out the door to your room and you'd be in the bar. NOW you have to walk out the door and through a hallway that serves no purpose.

I have never needed to write a review before but playing this game for at least 30 mins forced my hand. This game could be so good and hopefully, I am wrong in the future but there is not a chance I will play this game anytime soon. Please create a road map first before you start aimlessly adding things for the worse.

I think the game could have a lot of potential, especially in chapter 1, basically with the landlord slowly accepting the MC and not being so antagonistic to androids... or maybe he channels that anger and takes it out on the MC? Who knows, point is that at the moment it's all boilerplate crap without much depth. The worst offender is chapter 2, where you grind as a bartender. Yeah there are infrequent explicit scenes and you get to unlock cool things like the gloryhole in the bathroom or the strip club. However, none of the outfits or tattoos work, nor is the ending implemented.

I personally like how the game looks, as well as the optional first-person POV (which for some reason is not available during sex scenes). However, it's only optimized for Nvidia GPUs, good luck if you're on AMD or apple silicon.

I've enjoyed the demo v0.1.3. Didn't play any previous versions, so I can't compare them an say anything about development progress.

I think the dev did a very good job on the visuals, it instantly reminded me of a famous game by Quantic Dream that inspired this. There are a lot of small graphical glithes here and there and the performance is poor on my aging hardware (though far from unplayable), but honestly it is what I learned to expect from 3D H-games of this ambitious type.

The android girl is cute, outfits are sexy, animations are well-made (sans glitches). There are not a lot of content right now, but what's already there is good. It's fun to explore the apartment and to figure out how to accomplish tasks assigned to you by the game, but of course this gets old quickly. At least there is not much grind as there could have been, you'll probably see all the content in the game before your interest runs out. There is an element of randomness there though that the game could better do without in my opinion.

There are currently two distinct parts of the game that take place on two distinct maps - an apartment where you start in, and a bar where you end up as a waitress after getting thrown out after an event that I won't spoil. The second part of the game is barebones as of now and, to me, seems a lot less interesting than the first part. I hope that in the future the maid branch will be the main one and we'll see a lot of new scenes in it.

Many elements of story and setting don't make much sense (just like in DBH, I might add). For example:

• Why former construction worker lives in a luxurious apartment with an android maid and watches TV all day instead of doing something for living? Did we reach the Communism already?
• Said "construction worker" is something of a comedic figure: he looks like your stereotypical big-dick-ugly-bastard but wehemently rejects all sexual advances from our protagonist. Why did he buy a full size animated sex doll, then? He could get something like robo-granny from Jetsons cartoon to take care of household chores for him or even, you know, a non-anthropomorphic robot (!)
• The idea about making androids follow a set "daily routine" of actions that don't make sense for them (like yoga, jogging or swimming) to make them "more lifelike for humans that they live with" is quite dubious;

Ah, the good old entertainment of thinking about plot inconsistencies in porn. Well, at least all these allow for interesting situations and interactions to unfold.

Overall - this game piqued my interest, which is already much more than what I can say about the vast majority of other H-games. I wish the dev much success, and hope this game will receive regular updates and will eventually reach full release.

It's a really promising game, the initial features and game mechanics seem pretty good, and I really like the concept and lore of the game.

We will have to wait a few months of development to see how it evolves.

The game is similar to Detroit Become Human. Here we also have an android, helps around the house, cleans up, does yoga, showers, throws out trash. But so far there is too little content. I did not like the plan of the house, everything is too innovative. There is a 1st part, it takes 20 minutes, the 2nd part is not done. If you try to make the owner 18+, he will use an electric shock on you and hand it over to the auction. Then just a dead end. The graphics here are good. But there is very little content.

Honestly, not enough game yet to really judge.

If you try for sexy stuff as soon as its available you basically get dumped to Chapter 2 inside of 10 minutes. Chapter 2 has no content.

So....

It could be interesting, but there's not sense of any game here yet. You can walk around, but why? Why do anything? Whats the goal, what's the point?
If its just to see the story, then there's way to much walking around for that. There needs to be some sandbox elements, otherwise the ability to walk to an indicated location and do an indicated action is going to get boring really fast.

Same tasks back and forth until you get the option to do something sexual but it's just a cutscene and the animation aren't that great either. There's an option to select a male character at start which is locked but I'm guessing will be added in the future so I'm hoping you can order the robot to do things rather than you the player doing tedious tasks

Very ambitious project.
Even though it is still a very early status, you can guess where it is going. The developer also responds to criticism and suggestions for improvement and strives to improve the game based on these suggestions, but from what I have observed so far, maintains a clear line so that not all the kinks that players want will find their way into the game. Personally, I think that's very good.

For my part, there is still some criticism of the somewhat washed-out graphics. In my opinion, less particle effect would be better for the graphic quality of the game.
The grind is still a bit much at first, but here too there is a justification that, for example, the many changes of clothing are only meant to show what will be possible. Fine-tuning will then probably take place with a more complex quest system.

Conclusion:
Currently a playable tech demo that will gradually advance more and more into a game. Definitely worth keeping on the watch list.
