Unity - Completed - PlayHome [v1.4] [Illusion]

You play as a dude who invades another dude's home and rapes and corrupts his wife and two daughters as a some sort of revenge. The girls are hot, the graphics and animations are decent, and the MC is a piece of shit who treats the girls like trash. Cool right? Well its cool, for a wank or two, but then the grind starts.

If you want to reach the endgame you have either cheat or grind the scenes for several hours AND the endgame content is not even worth it, because there is only a few extra H positions, slightly different (more obedient) girl voices and one extra girl (neighbor or something).

Although the main theme is curruption/humiliation/rape, there is a lack of bondage, groping, spanking, anything spicy; H positions are mostly vanilla.

Visuals, animations and character creator is surpassed by games like HS2. HS2 also has better character alingment in H scenes.

I'd give this a 3/5 but I think the game is overrated here so 2/5 it is.

This is definitely one of Illusion's darker titles, with a disturbing focus on rape. Even the music is eerie, reinforcing that what you are doing is evil and that you are the bad guy in this game. Looking past the sense of guilt this game made me feel, the gameplay itself was unexpectedly different than Koikatsu, which I tend to use as a point of reference when playing Illusion games.

Rather than a large cast of characters, you are limited to 3. These 3 targets being a mother and her two daughters, the unfortunate family members of a man who has wronged you and whom you've decided to prey upon as an act of revenge. The outfit selection is also far more limited. You get two outfits per character, regular and swimsuit. However, I did not see any way to quickly change outfits during gameplay without entering 'edit' mode so it's more like one outfit.

The 'edit' mode. It was interesting having the ability to immediately switch into the character creator during gameplay. Although it's not a feature I made much use of, I could definitely see its value and think it's a nice-to-have. I didn't like not being able to use my mouse's scroll wheel on the sliders within the character creator. It's very difficult to make small adjustments otherwise.

As soon as you spin up a new game, you are thrust into some rape scenes after some exposition explaining what drives your character. You have a scene with each family member one after one as a brief demo I suppose, before entering the main game mode which is like a semi Free-H mode. You pick the girl, the place, and the lighting (time of day), do your thing and repeat. There is zero free roam, so you are just immediately loading scene after scene to your liking. The game is very grindy, where the objective is to pleasure the girls so much that they become less resistant. However, that goal is a marathon and not a race. I decided to focus on one girl to see if I could get their mode to change from 'resistant', but many scenes later I've made no progress. It's a weird feeling when playing a porn game feels like a chore.

Technical/Mod notes:
Their hair and breasts moving around from my mouse cursor moving over them was a bit jarring and I preferred to disable that. Turns out that behavior was due to a mod called 'boop'.

The PHIBL graphics mod does make the game look good, but it was unstable for me. The FPS would get progressively worse and I was unable to fix it without reloading the game or disabling it entirely.

Dont play this for the story its really short and the grind to get the ending is crazy, best bet would be to forget the story altogether since its not really what this game is about anyway and i couldent get past the grind to get the girls lvled up full, it just takes to long so if you want the endings find a full save or you will get bored after some hours of grinding.

But for what it is its great its more of a sex simulator where you can pick the girl you want to have fun with or make a 100% custom for your taste, you can customize any and everything from tiny tits to insanely big, lots of face options, tons of hair styles with color option, you get the idea make your perfect girl and fuck her brains out in one of many positions that the game has to offer.

Animations are great as well so if you just want some fast porn to have fun with this would be a great game.
Sounds/voice is good as well.

I ran the game on a RTX 3070TI with max resolution and had 140-240 FPS so it should run just fine on older cards as well.

So for a story game it would proberly be a 1/5 but as a fuck simulator/studio its 5/5.

I really would love to see a real game from this provider with a long story and build-up, but i guess they mostly just do sims/studio things.

PROS:
- Great graphics and fluid performance (with a GTX 1060 gpu).
- You can customize everything and make the girls' appearance EXACTLY to your liking (face, hair, parts of the body, clothes, everything...)
- There's A LOT of sex positions and different scenarios.
- Great if you're looking for a straight-to-action porn game.

CONS:
- The story exists, but is VERY short and pretty bad. The characters' behavior are very unreal (except Ritsuko I guess...) But the focus of the game is not the story, so you should not judge it too much.
- It's a bit too much of a grind if you want to keep seeing the story advance (but yet again, not the focus here).
- You can't customize the protagonist penis (I generally don't mind too much for that in a game, but the color and movement was weird, so I wish I could have changed it). Probably because it's a Japanese game (originally censored), they didn't put too much effort in the uncensored version of the penis.
- The download size (but that's not really a CON if you got a modern internet).

PS: My review is based on downloading the "BetterRepack R3" torrent version, without the "Optional" folder.

Not much i can say here, Great Graphics, very in depth character customization with lots of options like other illusion games for the girls (if you have the repack), a decent variety of animations to choose from during gameplay. The Lack of male customization kinda sucks but then again, who came to a game like this wanting to see a dude's overly detailed anus.

The girls presented to the player are all pretty hot and have their own unique twist to them (Mature,Horny, Feisty, Boyish)

The story is just... There? is how I'd describe it at best, but i suppose that's not really the main purpose of this game.
Case in point, this is all about a dude who gets caught molesting people in the subway, is caught by a 40 something year old looking geezer, decides to take it upon himself to get revenge by ravishing his entire family, you know the rest.

The corruption parts are a great concept and the complete 180 they have just adds so much "flavor" but as another reviewer has said, the process itself is a slow and painful grind. So much so that by the time i had reached the "end" I'd already been through halfway my 2nd playthrough of the Witcher 3. I highly recommend doing yourself a favor by getting a 100% save.

TLDR: If you're a sick, vile and detestable human being that likes watching girls resist in vain as a dude mercilessly penetrates them within an inch of their soul, you won't find any other game quite like this in terms of graphics and level of customization.

Playhome is the ol' reliable of Illusion games. I may walk around the block and try out other games like Koikatsu and Honeyselect and AI Shoujo and Room Girl, etc... but at the end of the day, Playhome is the alpha and the omega. It's that one childhood friend you always come slinking back to. It's like that one comfy pillow that you brought everywhere with you as a kid. It's like that one dish that your your mom used to make for you. It's like that one McDonalds parking lot where you got your first kiss from your prom date. The animations are buttery smooth. The voice acting is numerous and well-done. The characters are well-defined and interesting. It's quality over quantity: instead of having 20 generic personalities to assign to girls like in other games, here's just 4 girls with lots of dialogue and character writing. The graphics are great and the lighting is nice. The character customization is extremely varied but also very straightfoward. It doesn't feel sluggish like in Koikatsu or Honeyselect. Honeyselect games have stiff animations and chugging framerates? Not Playhome. Koikatsu has limited animations and are a bit too vanilla? Not Playhome. AI Shoujo is just not good? Not Playhome. With Playhome, I saw, I conquered, I came. Whenever I boot it up, I get an immediate shot of dopamine. No bullshit. No assigning girls to rooms, no exploring a shitty island with nothing on it. It is straightforward, effective, and efficient; like an assassin for my cock. That is what Playhome means to me. I really love this game. My only possible critique of it is that Playhome 2 does not exist, which is an unfathomable loss to mankind. Here's hoping that Illusion stops knocking out inferior copies of HoneySelect under different names and actually get working on a new game in the Play series. Until then, stay frosty, and play Playhome.

I played this game like an addict. I love the base characters, their conversation, and also the way we modify the base characters. Now, it's hard to get the same game as this one (Honey Select is the same concept, but not the gameplay)
9.9/10, except I was playing in the GTX 1050 which by far is a weak GPU and 20-35 fps is the best it can handle. I said that it is the only cons of this game. Now I'm enjoying this game again using RTX 3060, without much hassle

Definitely a memorable piece of work here.
The almost painful grind to trigger the end is totally uncalled for tho. For me it broke not only the immersion but made the game so many times worse than it offers.
If you don't like grinding this game will be a nightmare, except getting a 100% save

This would be my first time reviewing, but I hope I do this well.

So first, the graphics are really good, out of the 3D games I've played, this is certainly one of the higher quality one's. And the animations are well done.

Story-wise, I haven't finished the story, but looking at the introduction of the game, it's your typical revenge story, but this is not the strong point of this game.

Gameplay, very high quality and very good compared to the other 3D games I've played before, the customization is near endless, from the clothes, body type, and even taking portraits to save what you did. And you can import other people's works yourself and you can also upload your own customization of the characters on the website as well. I haven't personally gotten to the clothes mod, so I can't say much about it.

All in all, a high quality game.

A good game with excellent graphics and animation. By far the most realistic sex simulator. However the tone of the game is very dark with rape and forced sex being a primary tool.

If you can look past this then you would be able to enjoy the game. Else just skip it.

you would think this was the sequel to rapelay giving how the intro plays out, you play a dude whos mega pissed at some specky looking dork that snitched on the MC for groping women at the subway (the fucking cheek!!) turns out are protagonist knows where Glasses McGee lives and he's looking to take out his anger on the poor saps family, what do you do in this game?

anything you want

Quick review:

What can I say? It's an Illusion game. Everything they do is automatically on my radar. When you're dealing with Illusion, you're dealing with best-in-class character customizability with more characters on the internet (+ cosmetic mods), and great, fully-voiced sex animations. And I love games that put me in the driver's seat as a rapey male dom, which this game does perfectly.

If I had to nitpick, I'd say I'd appreciate more control in the sex scenes, but this game is still very good at being what it is: a realtime 3D made-to-spec wank reel. There's a not-too-grindy corruption/trainer aspect to the game, which is nice. Unfortunately, since there are no subtitles for the corruption to machine translate it's unfortunately hard to tell what's going on. But none of that is bad enough to dock points for.
