    Not very good. Two stars for using real pornstars who, while prolific, at least aren't the same five American models from every other real porn game.

    Otherwise it's the same ludicrous plot and grindy gameplay paired with watermarked pics as so many others. There's also no rollback but at least it autosaves pretty frequently.

    Basic plot: you were in an accident causing amnesia which is linked to cumming (sex is bad for your memory, jerking off is good, except when it's sometimes bad?). You go around telling attractive women about your problem and instead of calling the cops or pointing you towards the internet they let you see their tits. You also have pills you take for your memory and you accidentally discover that they also double as corruption pills when taken by women.

    The gameplay is you go around sandbox-style talking to the various women to raise your affection level. As it levels up they get lewder and occasionally you'll have an opportunity to slip them a pill which makes them lewder still. The tension is that you have 6 pills per week and your mental health drains rapidly if you don't take one each day so you need to balance drugging the women with jerking off.

    That gameplay is good and the game sort of has a built in walkthrough so it's not too difficult.

    The bad parts: affection levels don't lock in until you see your therapist the next Monday. So you'll often find yourself just skipping time to get the plot to advance. It's also very linear for a sandbox game if unexpected ways. That is, you'll cap out affection with a certain character and suddenly won't be able to progress and it'll turn out that you were supposed to progress with a totally unrelated character first. And it's not even like they assist you in the seduction, you just needed to get your feet wet or something.

    There's also a lot of moon logic. The first time you purposely drug someone you're given the option of telling your therapist or lying to her. You cannot progress until you admit that you've been intentionally drugging women. You can't just keep secretly drugging them without her knowing. Baffling. Later the therapist assists you psychoanalyzing the women to look for "weaknesses". They start off normal enough with a girl who's bi or lesbian but then just become downright ridiculous. One girl is turned on by using lawyer words. Another has dissociative identity disorder. At some point it got too silly to fap to.

    So that's it. Almost a good game but not quite.

    Let me say this. There is a lot to like about Paradise Found.
    "Pro"​
    The clips are of good quality, length and they fit the story.
    The interface is outdated but easy to use and makes progress easy.
    There is some grind but it's not a deal breaker.
    The story is ok, but the characters are well written.

    "Con"​
    Some of the clips have sound, and others dont.
    You will have to watch the same clips over and over to progress.
    What was a deal breaker for me, was that the mc is.. well, SUPER creepy and kind of pathetic.
    He seems to have the social grace of a hillbilly sexual predator, that has lived his whole life in a Louisiana swamp.
    A guy so creepy that every rational woman who'd meet him instinctively who’d pepper spray him.
    “Spoiler”
    The point that did it for me was.
    When the mc is dominated by the older sister and she gives him a bit of her pubic hair, and he runs to jack-off to it.
    At that point i said nop! F**k this. (n)
    You may think that sounds like a good time, and if you do i'll recommend this game.
    If you don't think that sounds like fun I can't recommend this game.

    I originally found the beginning of the story kind of silly and was just going to play for giggles. However, the well-written dialog, excellent clips, and easy playthrough style made this game very addictive.

    The story is well written and the scenes work really well which is very hard to do with real porn scenes and takes a lot of effort, which usually causes a lot of games of this type to be abandoned.
    One of the best 'real porn' games there is if you're into any one of the tags.

    If this is the Devs first game congats its a solid effort and a unique engine 5 stars for effort. Great writing and some of the best use of video/art to match the scene.

    BUT.. as a porn game it has a lot of content but you'll spend 95% of your time skipping through content you've seen a billion times before or even just skipping whole days to grind to the next part of the content (and that's with cheats).

    Why do so many porn devs think this is good choice? If i was reading a book why would I need to read the same chapter 5 times to unlock the next chapter. Repetition isn't game play it just shows a lack of ideas.

    There is no point to the game part of this 'game' other than to waste the players time and boy does it take along to complete even with cheats.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find I'd spent +12 hours completing this (think i was into 500+ in game days), but I'd imagine there's less than an hour in actual unique scenes.

    At the end of the day there could be a great tight game in here but its an absolute time sink. If its the Devs first attempt then it really is a sterling effort but as an experience its bit of a turd.

    Some other things that annoyed me - RNG on encounters, there is enough grind and repetition without randomly deciding that although the player is in the right place and the right time the event isn't going trigger for some arbitrary reason sometimes forcing teh place to skip through a whole week to get back to the same encounter. Why would this make for a good game experience.

    Why do some videos have sound and other don't?

    Excellent game! A full story with unique elements and (of course) lots of great images and videos. Wish there was some male domination/BDSM in there, but still lots of fun. Need to figure out who the actress that plays Kylie is. She's a new favorite!

    Great game, well written, awsome sex scenes, lots of content, some very interesting and well executed ideas. A must try. (I played on 'fast' and had no problems/bugs at all) Give it a whirl and look out for the devs next game!

    Best real porn game on F95zone imho
    Story and characters are consistent and the game it's complete!
    Girls are hot and not the same pornstars we all seen again and again
    Masterfully done can't wait to see this Dev's next project
    Play it now do yourselves a favour

    A really good game for fans of incest! The crux of the plot is a little silly, but it's also makes for some pretty hot scenarios.

    Here's the dealbreaker -- this game teases you for HOURS. I honestly don't understand how anyone besides people like myself, i.e., unemployed drunks, could possibly have the time need to play games like these. Even using cheats to speed up some of the grind, it still takes tons of time to progress the game story. So beware if you have time constraints.

    I have all the time in the world, so I liked the game enough to give 4 stars. The endless teasing and not being able to skip the girls I wasn't interested in is why I knocked a star off.

    Its a no from me, there is much better real porn games out there even in uncomplete forms. Its really weird that it has such a high rating for such a boring game.at least its something different just not very good.

    Having played about three-quarters through the current build of the game, I thought it's time to review it. Usually adult VNs/games including real porn are crappy at best for several reasons: the used real porn clips don't blend in well with the game and its setting, tend to have a very bad quality, are short in length and in general are very much restricting to the game/vn. Therefore Daz3d artists do have the huge advantage to be a lot more flexible and make scenes, which fit exactly to their game/vn and can go wilder concerning several fetishes.

    That said, in this game this isn't the case. The real porn clips do have high quality, therefore the huge media pack file and are carefully selected to blend in quite well. Not perfectly in any circumstance, but it's just a minor issue. It's actually the first real porn game/vn, I've noticed, where almost every clip blends in quite well.

    Overall the writing of the game and psychological background research are really done well. You hardly see some of that in other adult games/vns.

    A big problem are the game's redundant mechanics, which are grindy even with cheats enabled. Unlocking scenes can be tiresome and is very much time consuming. You'll have to watch the same scenes again and again, untill a little bit more is unlocked each time repeating it. The game features an in-game help, showing you, where and when you can advance someone's story or unlock new scenes by using certain colors (green with star). Sometimes you simply have to skip several weeks for new scenes to appear, which really sucks. The game might tell you, that something else is needed to happen before you can advance, but it doesn't tell you, that all you'll have to do is to skip a lot more time in some cases. This can be frustrating for the player. I almost quit the game several times, because no new green scenes with stars would appear on the screen for in-game weeks despite maxed out affection, manipulation skill for certain characters and discovered weaknesses. The game design seems to link certain events to in-game time rather than the achieved score with a character. The slow pace tries to be realistic, after all most of the women are supposed to be your relatives, but from a gaming perspective this just wastes a lot of time, where you're reduced to grinding and even more skipping time.

    Unfortunately the selection of the porn models isn't very much diverse concerning the looks and type of the porn actresses. They are all pretty much the same type: dark haired women with large breasts (most of them clearly silicone), except for one hydrogen fake blonde, which would also be a dark haired girl naturally. (look at Kylie's very dark eyes; fair haired people don't have that dark eyes usually. Having a strong preference for natural blondes myself this hydrogen blonde really isn't my cup of tea and otherwise there are only dark haired girls in the game unfortunately) I can live with it, because Jane the mother and also Angela your psychiatrist are really hot with their all natural big breasts. But in general there is a lack of diversity in the looks of the models like no natural blondes or redheads. EDIT: Very much later on the aunt appears, Julia, which has got blonde hairs and which don't look completely out of place, but then again it would have taken several hours to progress like making her at least flash her boobs and no new green star scene appeared again for several in-game weeks after the first introduction scenes, which was exactly the point where I decided to quit playing for good! No more wasting my precious time with this.

    So in the end, Paradise Found features some good, some bad making it overall a mediocre game compared to Daz3D games. Although compared to other real porn games, it's probably one of the best. I'd give it 4 stars at best, if it was possible to skip some more of the grind and even more importantly the time skipping until new scenes appear. (The link between new scenes and passed in-game time rather than the achieved score with a certain character is just a very bad game design decision in my opinion and which turns out to be very much tedious and time consuming for the player.)

    Fantastic HTML game! This game changed my mind about the possibilities of HTML games. By skillfully trimming porn videos into short, gradual story progressions, the scenes are drawn out in tantalising ways, making the seduction of each character an amazing experience. I wish this game format was used more widely as there is so much potential out there to take existing porno movies and enhance them with better writing and character development. The game already feels mostly complete (towards the end the variety of scenes begins to dwindle), but I am already craving more!

    (rating version .12)
    When I first downloaded this game, I originally planned to give it 3 stars. Since then, however, I've struggled with how to rate this one because it has some really good qualities and some annoying qualities.

    Bad
    1. Installation is annoying. I understand that the creator probably has to do this to avoid copyright claims, but having to go to the trouble of downloading a separate media pack to play the game as it was intended is frustrating and was almost a bridge too far for me. It doesn't take special knowledge to do, though, so at least it's easy to get done.
    2. The opening sequence is needlessly confusing. This is done so that the creator can maintain an air of "this isn't incest" when questioned by Patreon, but is still frustrating to deal with. You are told that you have a mother, father, and 2 sisters. Then, you leave them and move in with a "landlady" and her 2 daughters, your "friends." To be clear, they're the same people and labeling your "landlady" to be your mother is how the game is actually meant to be played. You will not meet your "family."
    3. Sometimes the writing is very lazy and flows poorly. It's not always(probably less than 1/10 the writing), but it can really stand out and gets annoying under examination.
    4. The main character rapes his sister and his psychologist is okay with that. His sister has a compromised mental state and he knowingly uses this to have sex with her. The only explanation for why the MC isn't behind bars is that his psychologist is a bigger psychopath than he is.
    5. I'm not a fan of female domination or humiliation and that is a significant portion of one of the characters.
    6. I'm also not a fan of blasphemy. The main character convinces a side character that God wants her to have sexual interactions with him. I don't like it, I don't care what religion it is.
    7. Despite claims to the contrary, there is a lot of grinding in this game, most of it is just hidden behind "increased your relationship to X" actions and going through the same pictures and videos over and over to see a slightly altered text to show that you've graduated to seeing your sisters braless breasts. The progression is handled well, but it still takes hours of play before you do anything beyond jerk off to disapproving, clothed women.
    8. The "memory health" mechanic is very shallow. There was no point in the game when I was actually in any danger of losing. It's so easy to recover, you face almost no penalties for using your pills, and it just gets easier as time passes. It needs to remain in the game because it's the glue that holds the logic of everything together, but it's trivially easy to the point that it might as well not exist. In order for it to actually matter, you'd have to see random events of losing pills, greater losses for engaging in sexual activity not prescribed by your doctor, or less recovery from taking pills/engaging in "proper" sexual hijinks. I'm sure there are other suggestions that would be even better, but currently the game has no difficulty.
    9. What's with all the lawyer ball sucking going on in the beginning?
    10. Some of the girls sexual fetishes are a bit weird. By and large they're okay, and make sense, but your little sister being attracted to...Whatever, it's not a big deal it's just probably not something that actually exists and should probably be re-termed to something like "sapio-sexual".
    Good
    1. There is a ton of content in this game. Yes, a lot of it gets recycled, but a lot of time and effort has been put into making this a cohesive, understandable play. I'm very impressed by how the creator was able to go through tons of different videos and images and somehow make a reasonable through line between them. Especially impressive was Kyra because of her hair changing colors.
    2. The psychology of DID is actually pretty accurate. I can't speak to the technical terminology, but my sister also suffers from the condition and I can remember times in my own life when she has complained to me about her loss of memory and how different everything feels.
    3. The girls have all been well chosen for their role.
    4. Most of the writing for the game is at least adequate. Given the volume of writing, this shouldn't be overlooked. There are times when you will probably stumble over the words, but by and large everything flows neatly together well enough.
    5. The color coding system for events is magnificent and helps cut down on grinding a lot. In a game with a ton of grinding already in it, that's great to see.
    6. There's a lot of different girls to interact with.
    7. I like the addition of times when you interact with girls simply to make them think you're not constantly trying to get in their pants(even though you really are).
    8. Time and effort has been put into making this an actually reasonable story instead of various videos of women having sex.
    Overall, I would say that this is a good game worth a look, but it could stand to have some editing done.

    I'm conflicted about how to feel about this game.

    On the one hand, there are very few, if any, real-porn games on here that have the same amount of quality content as Paradise Found. The chosen models are hot, the porn itself is fairly high-quality, and there's a *lot* of it, which already puts this game several steps above the other competitors on the site.

    However....

    This game is also one of many that has a really unfortunate approach to the progression of the story, where the relationships advance at a glacial pace, and all the girls only gradually lower their boundaries piece by piece in ways that strike me as ridiculous and immersion-breaking.

    You can play this game for three hours, and the total progress you will have made will amount to "my 'roommate' who was completely fine with me jerking off to her underneath my pants has now agreed to let me do it with my pants off". It feels rather ridiculous for someone to be completely fine with you nutting to them in their underwear, but then clam up and be completely unwilling to let you see their breasts while doing the same thing. It's a weird, halting, transactional dynamic, and I find it to be incredibly immersion-breaking.

    It's immersion-breaking because it's really hard to believe that this is how an actual human would actually act in that situation, and that while the game being structured this way is a natural result of it being an actively developed game that comes out in installments, it still ends up vastly undermining my enjoyment of the story. And if I'm not going to be playing this for the story, all that's left is the porn, and at that point I could just... go actually watch porn instead of playing this game.

    I became a fan of Kylie page after playing the game.
    A little too wordy and repetitive, but good selection of gifs and videos.

    I guess the options don't really matter, if you keep visiting a girl you get to bed her in the end.

    Bloke with amnesia requires sexual activity to keep his memories. Hot therapist helps him find a way to meet his needs.

    Best real-porn game I've seen, images and animations all well chosen.
    In-depth story, and writing is good.
    The only downside is the length of time you play as a sex-pest, begging your housemates to let you wank in front of them.

    Love the gameplay. I enjoy that you have to progress between many of the girls and that new ones and locations are still being introduced.

    A great use of existing materials. The Avery model was new to me and I thought that she was sweet!

    One of the best "real porn" games. The story is fun to play through and the build up is amazing with some great happy endings.... I can see it really getting built out in later versions, more people introduced and other areas.

    One of the best I've ever found. Story and gameplay are what breaks or makes a game. This one has it both. And the videos chosen are consistent with the story and use the same actresses, which is issue with many games that use real models.

    I have only tried a few real porn games, they very often have low ratings so I kind of avoided them. I have now tried a few of them however and I feel like this one is the very best so far. The dev actually makes an effort to build up to naughty stuff and they also make an effort to keep the images/video make sense. I have seen real porn games where the look of the characters change from scene to scene. This one simply feels natural, I can highly recommend this one to people who are apprehensive towards real porn games.

    I do have three cons but they are sort of minor. To start with the story revolves around MC having access to pills that decreases peoples inhibitions. I feel like he could have stopped using them on people quite a while ago, he has them already doing very dirty stuff. It just feels like a thing to turn it into a game after a while.

    The second con is a very subjective one but it involves the fact that quite a few of the characters have fake boobs. To me unnatural things look kinda icky so I hate fake boobs. This game has quite a few characters with fake boobs. Some scenes with these are fine cause some of them have half decent boobjobs but overall I notice me liking those characters less.

    The third con is slightly bigger than the rest. The side story involving one of the sisters is very convoluted and I stopped caring about it quite quickly because it would basically throw a wall of text in your face over and over. It also got quite hard to follow and the fact that it involves a character with fake boobs did not help.

    Beyond that I loved the game and congrats to dev on a good game. The build up with the mom is SUPER good imo.
