Others - Multiic [v0.3.67] [Stvoler]

You certainly have already learned, that this game makes active use of chatbots in order to provide you with an unique and dynamic experience.

Currently, there is one very significant issue in the game: Starting from the very first text field (where you are supposed to enter an answer) you can fully dictate an entire scene (*). You can for example describe how you violently fuck the first girl you meet and how you drag her with urine and shit contaminated body around the house - AI will fully accept this prompt and play with it. However, since the game has a scripted nature, the girls will directly go back to some weird topic afterwards like, for example, "which dress do you like most?". Significant things that should leave a very dramatic impression are just forgotten. This certainly limits the immersiveness.

For the developers:
Please be aware that the used chatbot apparently does not have any kind of ethical standards. I tried to figure out if there are any limits and could not find any. This also means that the players can theoretically create prompts that lead the chatbot to describe pedophile scenarios. The chatbot would even suggest fitting prompts to expand on such scenarios. I only studied law for a few semesters and don't know if this could become some kind of legal problem to you, however, I just wanted to mention it in case that you were not aware about this issue. In some countries, like the one I live in, owning childpornographic texts is not illegal, however, this might be different in other countries.

New way to play VN, love it. Full freedom. and if you like to write to interact it's perfect. You can even chat in your langage the IA will switch to your langage.
The picture is beautiful the video still have to IA touch but nice
Huge potential for the futur

Multiic is probably one of, if not the most promising new project on this website. Yes, it is still in its infancy, like AI programs in general, and requires a little more specialist knowledge (which I hardly have) and initiative from the user than the usual standard game.
But the product's potential is basically bubbling up from every single dialogue. If you're the type, you can spin stories from initially completely irrelevant conversations that will keep you creatively entertained for hours, and then at some point return to the actual plot. This also offers a lot of potential and you can sense that the developer wants more than just to lead from one erotic encounter to the next, but it also already offers the possibility of following this path, especially during the introduction. This seems... well, to have emerged from a simple porn game, but why this is the case becomes clear as the game progresses and it makes sense.
For connoisseurs of the extravagant, Multiic is an absolute highlight with the usual bugs and difficulties of a new (AI) game. But I'm very excited to see where the journey takes us and how far the developer is able to exploit and refine the incredible potential.
From a purely objective point of view, I can't help but give the game a 5 out of 5, as the only real weaknesses are not due to the authors but to the as yet immature tool.
- Pro
- The general potential and how it is used.
- Interesting story
- The possibility of exerting your own influence on hours of gaming fun that goes far beyond a selection of prescribed paths
- An immersive and erotic experience that probably goes far beyond anything that the chatbots like AI girlfriends etc. promise.
- Negative
- The NPCs quickly lose their own character in long conversations, as is typical for AI, and tend to become submissive, forgetful lackeys who just want to please.
- Sometimes long loading times during conversations.
- Confusing settings for people who are unfamiliar with the various AI chat programs and their parameters.

"If this is what AI taking over the world looks like, I for one welcome our hot waifu overladies"

This game is something very special, I'll touch lightly on story and tech and mostly talk about the sandbox mode which is the part I'm most invested in.

TLDR - (For disclosure I am a Patron of this developer, but am making this review unasked and out of enthusiam only)
Multiic shows off what can be done with an AI chatbot and shines at giving personality and vibrancy to the characters you interact with. If you're happy to type and express your actions rather than just click prompts; this could be for you. This is AI use in the adult industry done right. With some initial setup and later tweaking any of these characters can be your perfect waifu (Or husbandu, there's a guy!) Only rated 4/5 because of the inital setup and AI can sure be a bit jank sometimes (understatement).


Long version -

Tech:
Multiic will connect to an existing online AI of your choice from a list of large well known AI models. You can also choose your own and run it locally for even more control (Which I do). The more you want to tweak and control the AI personalities, the more work you have to do, though; using one of the big AIs just means you need to go generate an api key to put into the game, whereas running an AI locally has a *lot* more hoops, but is very rewarding. The images and animations of the characters are all pregenerated and of high quality, all with the very familiar AI art style. More images are added with every update. At the moment you cannot import/generate images of your own.

Gameplay/Story:
The story as it stands (I've played to v0.3.34 at time of writing) sets you as a character who has just arrived at a new city and has rented a room with some friendly locals who are more than happy to get to know you and show you around. But very soon it is obvious that not everything is as it seems and maybe this world you're in is just too good to be true..

There are a lot of variables in the story outside of scripted events, it will respond to your interactions and choices and present different scenarios as you progress. I've played through multiple times and had wildly varying encounters and experiences with the different characters and locations. The current dev cycle has the story updating once a month, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Gameplay/Sandox :
Now this is where the game shines bright and tasty. The sandbox allows you to 'connect' with any of the premade characters (Currently 6 females and 1 male) in a scenario of your choosing. That may not sound a little dry but the possibilities are astounding. The character you choose has the same personality as they do in the story mode and will react and expand upon your input. Heh, 'input' ;-)

That's without any tweaking; If you take the time to learn a little and experiment you can set moods and likes and desires and relationships and any aspect you like to one of the characters (Currently a Patron only option for the easy way, can be done by all with a bit more work). Set your favourite trope for one of the characters.. Are they a step-sibling? Are you helping them learn math? Are they your best friend but you secretly love each other? ..Then dive into the scenario you've created; The AI will play it out with you all complimented with a variety of background locations and many pictures of the hot girls and guy in this game.

Reccommend (As if that wasn't obvious)

As an aside, the folks on the game's Discord are friendly and happy to share reccommendations and help about the AI models and settings in the game. Absolutely worth a try and worth my money for the extra functionality that a Patreon tier gives.

Right way for 'AI' centric games to go. Bet everyone are pretty tired of 95% slop 'devs' made; this one, on the other hand, is interesting.
The next major thing would be to combine it with some drawing 'AI' so they work in tandem. It might be rough results, but still better than what is inside now in the visual department.

Hope to see this project developed in that direction (the only right direction imo so far, till we cant render 3d models and whole sceene), or find another project that moves in that direction.

This is not just another visual novel using AI art, it's much more sophisticated than that, as you can have full on conversations and role-playing interactions with the characters.

It's one of the best AI projects on here, but it has some pitfalls. General UI/UX is unintuitive. Myself and judging by the comments, many other players, have struggled with getting stuck in endless dialogue loops with characters, not knowing what we needed to say or do to break away and continue with the main story.

Sometimes you also get very long load times as you wait for the AI to formulate a response, and sometimes the game just freezes. Also, the creator assumes that the gooners on this site are familiar with various AI models and understand how to implement them into this game. Bro, most of us have no idea what an API key is.

I'm still giving this game 4 stars in its current state, because even with those pitfalls this is an ambitious project and I want to see it improve to a true 5 star game.

Can't wait to see how this game improves over time. Unlimited replayability for those who enjoy text based games. I am amazed by the potential of this game. And on top of it all, models are super pleasing to the eye, hope they add more scenes in the game eventually.

AI regurgitated slop without coherent vision or aesthetics. Don't even bother with these sorts of things, it's not worth anyone's time.

Would rather have well considered text-only game than this stuff.

This game was a pleasant surprise! I was a little worried about downloading a porn game that wants to be connected to the internet all of the time, but took reasonable precautions and am glad I went through the effort.

It is not perfect, there are a few rough edges that could be smoothed out:
-There is some inconsistency where it jumps from one conversation to another in some of the beginning conversations and has you talking to characters before you meet them. Without giving away too much, this actually ends up working with the plot in a weird way.
- You have to pretty explicit about your kinks - it would be amazing to have the characters explore a bit and see your reaction instead of leading, especially as one is labelled as dominant. When you express an interest in a kink, they jump all over it though. To the point where the scenes go on for a very long time, but they are very engaging and interesting
-It stops for feedback at times where it would not be needed for the scene to continue
-sometimes it freezes up and a response is not generated - this might be due to the environment I made to safely play the game and be more of a resource problem

So with a few hitches, here is why this game is 5 stars to me. I have never played a game with so much freedom to explore, that actually responds to what you put into it. This is an amazing demonstration of how good AI content can be, even if there are some bugs to work out. The actual story was really engaging, and the little bit of sleuthing you do actually feels earned because it is based on what you think of instead of picking the obvious right one of three options.
As someone who tends to load up walkthrough mods on porn games, I was surprised how much fun it could be with complete freedom to explore. This one is immediately on my top 3 watch list for updates and is the only one that has encouraged me to take the effort to review.
Thanks Dev, good work and good luck! I look forward to seeing what else you do with the story and with the technology.

For everyone on the fence on this one I can assure you, it is not just a low effort AI generated script - this is how AI should be used. It is the first time I have wished for a non-lewd version of a game so I can show it to my friends and family.

I really like the game~~ The linearity of the characters with the scene changes is problematic, and as already mentioned, it's hard to advance once a character becomes dominant, and/or keep their personalities consistent and the scenarios matching what happened previously, but otherwise very good work Author! It has a lot of potential~

In general? A game worth the try!

It is a nice concept in which there is a thin line of base story and the rest of the story? You can make that up yourself / guide it what you enjoy. Just imagine it, type it, it doesn't even have to be very long and have fun. Want a different story? Just restart and you can type right from the start about what you want and their responses are along the line of like "Oh, you jump the gun huh...? Alright, lets try this" which doesn't make for a great in-depth story but amazing sexual scenes.

Is the game perfect? What game is..., right?
Still, here are the cons:

- Since there is a base story (i suppose written text by the developer), it will sometimes trigger an event which is not at all relevant to where you are spearheading your own story. Don't expect it all to make perfect sense, you got to overlook those parts.
- It still has that AI feel when you chat with it.
- Some bundels of text take soooo long to load, omg... If i had my dick in my hand it would of frozen off.
- Once you give away the control to the AI (them being dominant), it is hard to cancel or get out of a scene since they won't let you go easily. It would be nice to have a skip button and/or cancel interaction button.
