Java - Completed - Paradise Found [v1.0.04] [Alcahest]

  1. 5.00 star(s)

    Qaeron

    Version: v0.3.1
    Length: 4-6 hours (if you read the story)
    The best: slow and hot tease progression with very well-matched porn
    The worst: no real player agency: a multi-story VN

    Summary: a game taking the popular elements 'incest perv boy', 'slow tease progression', 'real porn' and, surprisingly, producing a solid, well executed and captivating experience


    Story: a decent amount of work was put in to flesh out a seemingly lukewarm setting of an amnesiac college boy healing his affliction via... sigh... perving on women (to their face, even!)

    Backstory, motivations, justifications, characterizations are really good - for a porn game. Suspension of disbelief is not that hard - if you actually read the text, - helped by liberal sprinkling of realistic psychological science. No 'wink, wink, you perv, 4th wall break!' moments here

    The story even offers long and short versions of some segments. The long versions are sometimes... long


    Gameplay: A typical room/house man-hunt (heh) for 'landlady' and her daughters

    Progress is introduced via separate linear stories per each NPC in a pseudo-open world - which is thankfully scaled down to severely reduce the grind (all actions are available within one-two clicks, 'situation hunting' is eliminated by simply indicating which rooms contain something new at which hour)

    A nice diversion concerns theory-based detective work ferreting out the psychological weaknesses of girls. Not complicated, but certainly adds something new

    The game, though, could benefit from at least some decisions and branches, for it is not really replay-ready right now


    XXX content: the game presents what is possibly the best ever integration of real-life porn images/videos into a game

    Almost all actresses are chosen to 'look normal' while clothed and to 'match' their characters. ~80% of all graphical content features no nudity (!), but that only seems to make things better (different than the usual?) by so-so-slowly ramping up the intimacy and corruption

    The story and graphics are melded: the actresses maintain scene-fitting clothing and even appropriately change their facial expressions - depending on the current situation, - by utilizing multiple pics from the same shoot. If the player has no previous experience with the actresses (and those particular shoots) from before, it is quite easy to 'believe' that the content was produced especially for this game!


    Engine: a custom Java beast; no JVM download, no installation, no fuss. Some questionable - and optional, - theming choices. 'Programmer's UI' :)


    Bugs: almost none (3 random storyline breaks during the whole playthrough, not encountered again after loading a save)

    I'll right off the bat say I'm usually not a fan of 'real porn' games. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this game. The map and its navigations are well done, the character choices for their positions are excellent and the story of staving off your amnesia is unique. I'd fully recommend giving this game a playthrough. Easily worth 5 stars.

    A very good real porn game. The story is plausible and provides a good reason for the way female acts around the MC and it doesn't look like the females have just become sluts from the start like in other games. The corruption pacing is quite good. And the scene and the videos and photos doesn't look forced at all, it feels like the videos were shot to make this game.

    Overall a good game. 10/10 would recommend.

    Actually one of the best real porn games I've played. The interface is great, you get the locations of each NPC and a hint on if there is new content without endlessly clicking on every room and character for every time period of the game trying to find the exact event you need to proceed. There's a small amount of relationship building, say about 3 interactions per new unlock, without either grinding for hours or just having content handed to you. High quality videos, decent writing. The premise needs a lot of suspension of disbelief, but that's pretty much required for any "landlady/roommate" game. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

    Been a while since I ran into a game I was this excited about.

    The story is really awesome, the pacing of the corruption seems perfect to me and the characters are mostly believable.

    You can still poke some holes in the game's internal storytelling logic, but hey, I'm not complaining. There's certainly a lot of effort and research/knowledge put into the games story to make it as believable as possible, given the premise.

    Great! I like the way the game is done. The java platform could run better, but it is not a major problem. Also the videos and pics with real models are great. And the story and the background work well.
    I'm waiting for the next updates.

    I liked this game that I'm subbing to the authors patreon. For some reason this checks all the boxes of what I'm looking coming here. Highly enjoyable, good progression, no impression of grinding. As long as thing don't get super weird at one point, this is on a great path.

    (Review of v0.2)

    The writing is great, story development (once you accept the core story element) is excellent and believable within context, and most impressively the game implementation is bug free as far as I could see which is virtually unheard-of for a custom engine.

    I generally stay away from real-porn image games, but in this case I'm Very impressed!

    well done @GRasputin! (y)

    I played it on a mac and at first the game didn't play videos and I wasn't able to save/load. The developer read about it in the discussion and worked with me on a solution and now it runs on mac as well. Great effort!

    The gameplay has quite a good ammount of corruption in it and is well balanced.

    All in all, concering it's a demo it's woth five stars!

    Excellent, fresh and just the right speed to corruption. Well done. I look forward to more of this. One thing I did not enjoy was the shop. I would suggest you always allows purchasing things or only display items that are available to purchase, I kept visiting the shop and an was unsure what I could buy and had to click each selection to find out that I could not buy anything.

    For the first demo, it's piqued my interest and I like the general premise of it. It reminds me of the "6 Times a Day", anthology by Spacer X which involves a medical condition in which the protagonist must ejaculate 6 times a day using his friends and family.

    The porn clips used are great and very high quality. There is currently a small bit of grind, but it's not maddening like some other games. There is also an "assisted" mode (ironically called the no-grind mode) that makes navigating the game quicker.

    I hope there is more voyeurism in future updates, specifically with no-name characters, just random people. Like spying on girls in changing booths, on the beach, etc.
