Others - Nasty City [v2024-04-28] [Sneaky Snake Dev]

So kinkwise, this seemed like a solid game, screenshots looked... alright, so I gave it try.
But yeah, at the moment, it's not worth it. 3dcg looks alright at best, the character models look uncanny sometimes, but combined with the menus and all this game makes your eyes bleed.
But the worst part is: Everything in this game takes for-fucking-eeeeeeever!
And that's a shame, because even though I'm not super fond of its look, the idea behind this game has really a lot of potential. But to reach it, it'll need a lot of work and polish.
If you're really fucking patient, you might have fun. If not, don't touch this - at least for now.

It breaks my heart to give this game 2 stars, but it is indeed below average. Mostly because of very poor UX: clunky interface, unreadable fonts, and bad controls. There is little to no indication of interactable objects/people in a big world that feels very empty.
The thing is, there are really nice minigames inside! The blackjack variant is fun, with custom rules and random opponents, and gloryhole mechanics are also nice. I would even rate them high as standalone games! But that can't save the mediocre game and poor design choices.

Just tried this, ngl it's kinda shit.

There's 5-10 seconds between every line and no way to speed up, so you can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute to get through just 6 lines of it.

movement is janky as hell, there's no visual marker for activation of some scenes/locations, the UI is scuffed, a lot of unfinished locations, and the prices for unlocks are exorbitant. I managed to play through the prologue, got to the glorywhore, and just kind of tapped out once she built a glory hole at home. I'd just lost interest.

Normally I'd go through the files to see if there's anything in there I'd enjoy but they're locked down in custom(?) containers that I can't find an unpacker for. The only real show of what else might be in the game is the textfile in the main folder which lists the files as they're extracted(?). Reading through that tells me it's mostly gloryhole scenes and a couple of scenes from the whore fucking vito.

I want to like this so much. The concept is hot. The tags are right up my alley. It looks vulgar, taboo, nasty.. love it. The body types aren't all my faves but there's hotness in that too. The animations are kinda crap and the settings are pretty crap too, but it kinda reminds me of Sociolotron so nostalgia carries that. But. The 'bad' starts from the getgo. Aside from the messy front screen, you get this Super hot scene to kick things off! Aaaaand its all off camera. And you can't fast click through the text / sounds. Here. Anywhere. You have to wait.. and wait.. for Everything. Slow walking. Slow talking. You have to dig through text to figure out where to go next. You're supposed to start with a card game that easily brings you under $500 if you play more then one game (you'll pretty much always lose) and if you didn't check the tips you'll not realize you can't unlock the next character without saving up money. Might there be other ways to make money? Supposedly? No idea. Because I am not going to click every single character and object to find out what I can interact with. Why not? Because you slow-walk to each of them, often backtracking as the AI navigates some invisible path maze, and then nothing happens. Just.. I really really want to like this game. I unlocked the next character.. and she needs to drink (a lot.. slow click bartender.. beer.. beer.. bartender.. over.. and over..) then she does a striptease on the bar which is.. ok? Or might be ok but again.. you have to sit there.. and it isn't That ok.. and you wait.. you can't click off to do other things in other windows because the game helpfully pauses to wait for you to come back.. aaand no idea what happens after because it was not worth waiting for.

Again, I Want to like this game. It has potential. It sounds hot. I'll keep looking for updates (just the changelog) to see if it starts letting you fast-click through stuff. To see if the game is just sped up. To see if it becomes more visually clear what it wants you to do (not as a text blurb somewhere in a messy notepad looking set of instructions). If it becomes what it could be I'll be So happy. I think. Don't know, haven't gotten far enough in it to be sure.

I give this game five stars for the work done since the very beginning, to encourage the DEV for the game he is trying to achieve while taking into account the remarks of those who follow the game since the beginning.
-the game is a bit slow
-The animations need to be improved.
+The game is easy to understand
+the characters are good

I found this game unplayable. It has huge wall of text explaining how the game works but even after reading that it is very hard to figure out how the game works and the interface is lousy.
This game would be so much better as a menu to get to places instead of slowly walking to areas just to see if you can interact.
The few sexy scenes I could find after hours of playing just seem blah and uninspired. Normally I give games a lot of time if I am not liking it to see if it gets better but this game was so frustrating I had to quit.

The interface is horrible and hard to understand and the images or just meh.

Too bad. I like mini-game adult games so I had high hopes for this but it's like getting hit with a hammer to get to anything.

So you play as 3 characters. A whore for cum at glory holes. A hooker in it just for the money. And A man who seems to be in the precarious position to game these hoes and take their money so he can play strip black jack. In the long time i've been playing porn games this one hits all the points. The gloryhole mechanics are dope and the prostitution is also fun. Game on game on game. Fucking Brilliant! Only thing I can think of to make it better is to have some dialogue where Vito runs game on these hoes. Teaches something for the Yout'

While I found many of the renders sexy, some are a bit generic leaning but not too badly and the positioning and fets are solid so they make up for it, the game play is frankly subpar. It's a partially a function of what I'll admit I consider a subpar engine but I've played other games in this engine that weren't so bad. It's not meritless, definitely not one star, but in a flooded game market I give it a 2, maybe a 2.5 tops. There's just other games with fets and images like this, some completed, that run smoother and play better.

After 3 years have passed, I am editing my review.

What started as a promising game is now a cesspit of decadence and refusal on the devs side to change things up. The game has not progressed at all, the dev constantly tries to cope with bad designs and refuses criticism.

Sure the renders are good, but when the animations remain mediocre it kills the renders. The engine is clunky, the controls are clunky, at this point there is no saving grace.
