Unreal Engine - Monolith Bay [v0.44.0] [Team Monolith]

Version: v0.7.1

Review:
There is no worth in playing this in the public version, because it is a waste of time. Do you know why? grind and no content. But let me explain it better. I was very bored at the beginning of the game, especially in the story. Particularly, I was not able to identify what would be the ambience of this plot, but anyway, the biggest problem wasn’t even that, because many times I don’t even care much about the story, but the gameplay.

Gameplay:
Limited. The only thing you do besides walking and going to one place to another is to collect purple shards that you don’t even know what it’s for (waste of time), The MC can walk, run, jump, throw himself on the ground(?) and only that. In order not to waste your time, let me explain other things to you, here you will be given tasks to do, which is to go from one place to another, at the beginning of the game, you end up getting very bored by not being able to leave the house, after 5 nights sleep, you can leave. Another problem is the text of the dialogues, which are not so slow but also not so fast, and it is very dialogic, not necessarily a book level but they are dialogues that you will say, "meh, I'm not interested in that". Anyway, at least the game has a fast travel, since the map is big. Congrats!
Graphics & Sexual Content:
The graphics of the scenarios I could say is one of the best things in the game, but the art of the models, needs to be improved. It is not bad, it just needs improvement from the waist down. The sex scenes in this game only have two, I didn’t see more than that, but the animations are good. BJ's animation is good, move the mouse left and right and make the girl give you a deepthroat it got interesting, you can see the girl breathing, that air coming out of her mouth. But the sex? having to keep clicking space this is boring.

Why I did gave 1 star?
Sincerely it is very annoying to play, because it's still a limited game, but not only that, many things in the game are so boring that you end up wasting a lot of time (I was playing for about 1 hour and 30 min). But it’s not because the game is bad or it’s not playable, it's because you won't be doing practically anything for a long time of gameplay, you're just getting to know the game, discovering its mechanics and art style. One of the things that pissed me off in the beginning is that it’s quite slow, because you have a "meh" story that’s not interesting, ok, you have some kind of boring tasks to do, you can’t enter other rooms, there’s not much interaction with the scenario, to some objects you click on, the developer makes a point of placing texts without need, for example you click on a fridge or just the microwave, which could be very useful in saying "I don't need this" or anything else. Anyway, even if it’s an open world game, where there are NPCs walking around the streets and cars going around the neighborhood, the world seems to be still empty, the interaction with other NPCs is nil, I understand, the game is still in development, but you just have to go around the city, if you go exploring to find the purple shards it’s a waste of time, so, the game seems to be interesting, if you continue to create good animations and a dating yes that doesn’t have much to grind, it will be great, but at the moment I don’t recommend it, you don’t have many things to do, just follow the tasks, see some scenes, two sex scenes and it’s over.

nice game and nice mechanics, characters and history .

a well-built Unreal Engine game, the art style is unique, far better than things we have seen that were made using Daz3D.
Decent amount of content for a game that was released 1 month ago. Hearing devs, game has a rough launch but i think it was worth it anyway

Really nice game and even better concept. Feels different from all the games on here. The game has decent content so far and runs fine, although its a bit buggy sometimes but nothing major.
The h-scenes so far are also pretty good and in one of them your click speed even changes speed and controls the dialogue.
Looking forward to future updates.

(Rating the 0.3 Version)

looks promising. Good Ammount of Story. Clearly not a straight forward Fap game. So expect alot of running around. So far not enough content. I want to see more. Especialy mechanics around the lewd content would be nice instead of only Animations.

This is a unique game. It is rare that a sandbox game where you can move real time this good in adult game genre. Story is funny and atmospheric. This cartoon graphic is fit for the game. Usually I don't like cartoonish things in 3D environment but this one is look good.

Very promising, the character are nice and "unique (not common skins), some RPG wibe that give some interest but need ajustement (it's normal it's the begining) like the movement that feels like a tanker, slow dialogue and minor bug but worth saving for the futur

Shows great potential, lots of groundwork is done for a 0.1 version (starter town, quests, dialog, inventory, vehicle steering, etc).

Artstyle is pleasant (for me) and looks custom made and not store bought. A "sandbox" 3D game is quite refreshing and there are some easter eggs and funny (sometimes sexy) little things to discover.

This version (0.1.x mind you) is just a bit short on the sex side.
There is a nice amount of sexy, but only one sex act you can do as a player. Thou it shows very good technical ground work!

An ambitious concept being worked on by only two people. This game feels like it could become a 3D Summertime Saga. The graphics remind me of "Breeders of the Nephelym" or even of being in a cartoon, like "Rick and Morty". There seems to be a lot planned, and I can't wait to see it come to fruition.

My only gripe is that I spent way too much time reading "The first thing you need to know is..."

Version 2.0.1

The DEVs did a quick patch about 60 minutes after I reported an issue

I think there is a good base here, I will certainly keep an eye out for futur update on this one.

The content is a bit limited for now, but there is definitely some fun in this game.

Cheers

I was approached and encouraged to try the game again and see if I could give it a more up to date rating.

I eventually got to download the latest public version of the game and noted some improvements, but:

There still are a lot of graphic glitches that just can't overlook, but the story is the main problem for me. Although it is kind of meh personally I don't find it engaging enough. I got bored and I am pretty sure I put the game down (for good this time) before I "explored" all the current update has to offer. No matter what kind of game it is (erotic, shooter, strategy, RPG, etc.) I need a good story to go with it. No story = no sense of progression = no sense of achievement. I cannot go through a game just so I can see a pair of (poorly rendered) boops or a pair of panties. There's plenty of places to go for that that require little to no grinding or re-reading through a bunch of lines that bored me in the first place.

I gave up on this game but I sincerely wish the dev(s) the very best of luck with their project and maybe, just maybe, this game will come back to pleasantly surprise me sometime in the (hopefully near) future.
