Unity - Seaside Mystery [v0.27.1] [KsT]

Story: Interesting, without much depth or reality, but it's a game! nobody cares about that!
Gameplay: TERRIBLE! on control is still click-point, in a free 3d scenario, I expected a control on the minimu "tank". which prevents you from even exploring the scene better, instead of clicking on each object, to check if there is interaction
Graphic: despite the resources used, they are very bad! of assets from the scenes are interesting, but the models are not that beautiful, they lack a bit of polish, but they are sexy
Content: the development and involvement of the character is quite right, but there are times when it accelerates a lot! Unfortunately, the development of the game takes a long time, and content needs to be delivered. But in general, if you go see it, it's super quick! 2-3 weeks thing!
I expect more blackmail, flirting, involvement, conquering, voyeur, and VERY slowly he gains ground over each woman.
It would be cool to see him slowly instilling interest in women, something that wouldn't take 2-3 years.

I myself was 4 years old to "get" my aunt

Anyway, I hope the game develops in a healthy way, I know that we demand fast and constant delivery, after all my costs here are already more than AAA.
but I wanted more work and polish on the attraction between the characters.

I was already disappointed with all the development with Brenda, because it was over for me, and I lost interest.
wait to see the rest now...

One of the best games. Free movement and gradually increasing opportunities. Interesting storylines and quests. Unique mechanics and ideas for interacting with characters and the environment. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I honestly find it very surprising that this game is rated so low.
Graphics, models and systems are way above other 3.5 star games on this site.
It improves on everything from Twist and is a genuinly hot experience.
Its fun to roam even in this early stage. There are obviously more to do and a few areas lacking, but for 0.2 this is already very ambitious and shows the developer knows what hes doing.
If you havent played it, play it!

Game have a lot of bugs:

1. What is the role of the start day button (If the feature has no purpose why show it, why not show it later if it is necessary to skip a day or similar)
2. Every time I wake up I have to see the same sentence and press the button like a maniac for a trivial thing, can you just throw it out
3. Why can't I cross the street normally, let the cars pass so I can understand, why do I have to cross over crosswalk, also the distance between the cafe and the pharmacy is huge, plus there is no sprinting, why didn't you put them next to each other normally
4. Is it realistic that you left only one banal source of income?
5. You wrote the game in Unity, why don't you normally set the movement controllers on the arrow, more precisely on the letters (wasd)
6. Why wouldn't the menu open by pressing esc?

The game may look (6 from 10) for this rank, but there is still a lot of work to be done to make it a game that makes any sense in terms of gameplay.

Decent game, nice build up. BUT bugs are presented and also mostly only Brenda content. I very like physigue of heroines and story for this type of grind games are nice. Its not oh, we just met, lets fuck. Well, we will see if dev will deliver, at least same way as the Twist did, but I already really like clothes changing options..

In two years from now, this game will be really good. The characters models and animations are very good. Once their is more content, this will be a masterpiece. Game has a lot of potential. Just needs further cultivated. Only negative thing i would say is the grind. Game can be really grindy. But the scenes are really hot.

I did not play The Twist, but this game is really cool, I like the gradual progress when you need to earn trust. I'm looking forward to the completion of the story or its release on Steam, I'm ready to buy it.
I don't understand those who rated it with 1 star. It's a completely playable and full-fledged game unlike other 3D games that are published here with version 0.1 and run at 24fps.

My favourite adult game so far! An improvement over the Twist in every way. The new character models are more realistic than their predecessors. I wouldn't have brought back the Twist characters at all, or if I did, they would have been remodelled.
So far, I think the story is excellent, it is building nicely, even if according to some people it is too slow. Highly recommended!

The best of the best nice psyhic nice models good sound and kst still update the content what u want to more ? maybe more girls and more scenes? Yes of course but i think we will see more soon. Dialogs too is good not a simple and plastic fabular just good game with girls

Love this game. Need more games with this style in 3D. Characters are so good , the dynamic of gameplay... Awesome. Graphics are great, and character creation excelent. 10/10.
Waiting for the end......

Ok, so let me balance out a little bit those angry reviews which can be seen down the review section.

So, first of all for those poor souls who lived under a rock and somehow don't know what The Twist is: the same way as that game - Seaside Mystery is a walking talking quest which revolves around you, young dude (not VERY young tho) living under one roof with some hot girls in (one way or another) dysfunctional family. You do errands and get well animated real time 3d scenes, gradually corrupting said girls and MILFs (focus on the latter).

I didn't want to wright any type of review before the 0.18 because there was not much content in the game for that time and I don't think anyone should care why exactly it is the case after 2 years of development. I'm no dev's mom to defend him.

But for now - I recommend starting this game and trying it. There is finally respectable amount of content, graphics are miles better than The Twist, now there is some sound in appropriate places, and even dialogs became better imo. Also atmosphere is a little bit less cartoony, which for me was a plus: I even felt that some scenes were written sensually, not just as 3d porn thing occasion. Can't say it was the case with The Twist. Regarding grind - honestly, it feels like the dev owes money to previous reviewers or bullied them at school. Because I played games with some god awful grind, and let me tell you - it's not even half that bad. More like dev didn't come up with more inventive way to slowburn the game in the veeery begininng. Because after that part game actually picks up the familiar The Twist pace and feels ok.

For now I'm giving this game 5 stars. It is because of potential, yes, but dev truly delivered with The Twist and I think here it'll be the case also. Walk through all availible content (4~ hours) and keep your save - our favourite porn "TV series" is back.

i completely 100% agree with Jnx who posted a detailed review before.

The grind is horrible for nothing - and if you play fresh from the start, you will reach a point after HOURS where you get bugged and can't progress.

It seems to be a known issue, and all you get is a savegame from another user. But what's the point to play that savegame? The issue seemed to happen around 0.15 - now we have 0.18. So it seems you have to miss all the content between because of a known issue which breaks your game.

That's not funny at all.

On top of that, what's the sense about blocking stats to develop? why do i have to grind through content i might even would have done later (SANDBOX), just to be able to level some stats which i need to progress.

That's no sandbox game, that's just a pure linear puzzlegame from start to the end with no rewards.
I played hours from 0 to the point where i got stuck, and all i got was to be able to massage 2 women and get kisses from mom.

Sorry, but this is a game for blacklist.

TL;DR Because I value your time more than this game. It's a billion slow fetch quests with bad controls. Do no waste the HOURS of your life on this to get a peeping scene. And a possible sex scene in 3 years.

Once again, tedium for tedium's sake. Both of the games by this dev are designed to be as slow and tedious as physically possible. You have to skip hours, days, probably eventually weeks to advance anything just to give an illusion of slow burn. But what is this? Just a collection of "go to this point, hope RNG makes the character appear here this day/time to have a broken English interaction consisting of 4 lines of dialogue. And +1 point to this characters affection." Wow, fun. And I want to be clear, that was complete sarcasm. This is not fun. On top of that, now instead of clicking to go to each room, you have to CRAWL your slow MC to each room unless it's the sleep/skip day option. Which by some miracle is thankfully NOT locked behind a paywall.

Reader, value your time more. Is it fun to: go to a room. Skip an hour. Skip an hour. Skip an hour. Skip an hour. Skip an hour. Click on character. "Talk." Skip an hour. Skip a day because there's nothing else you can do. Then repeat. Is that compelling gameplay? No. This has the same boring gameplay loop as the umpteenmillion "sandbox" Renpy games with terrible default menus to go to a room and find a girl at a certain time. Except THAT would be better because you don't have your GPU running at 100C waiting for MC to enter a room, only wait, you misclicked on the other door. So now you need to leave this room, walk to the other door, and enter THAT one. The first day, you walk room to room to figure things out, but after about 3 ingame hours, there's no more unique lines of dialogue. Instead of, I dunno... Making a game and story where you interact with the sandbox, learn about the characters, maybe do one more thing than max out your strength in three workout sessions? What do you have? Click button, number go up. This is glorified cookie clicker.

Let me spoil the "mystery." Carl probably caused the accident. Emily is probably your sister. Brenda will fall in love with you for doing the dishes. And you will have to have another monitor open with a walkthrough that can't 100% help, due to the RNG. You should not waste your time on this to "get the privilege" to see an uninteractive sex scene that's only novelty is, instead of pre-rendered footage, it's in engine. I hope to whatever it is you believe in, that someone comes in with a movement speed mod and maybe even an RNG removal. But that's a pipe dream. Unless your fetish is denial of content, I'd recommend avoiding this game.

Great game experience and unique character modeling, the game isn't complete yet but the story goes pretty interesting, and they have done something similar to house party on the gameplay, if you like The twist you will love seaside mystery

Right now I would say is a solid 3 for me. Not magnificent but not bad either, I played worse things just this same week.

Starting for what I enjoy here:
First the models, their proportions and the interactions, mainly compared to Twist, the proportions mainly of the two characters we interact the most right now seem more balanced the in many other games and the interactions also seem more natural.
Other thing I really enjoy is something I have been criticizing in other games. The game is divided in hours and here the only activities that consume that whole hour make sense, doing the dishes, fixing something, but other things like talking to someone, fetching something or moving somewhere don't move consume a whole slot, in too many games just by talking it advances time without much logic. So this is a big plus for me


Now what I don't like right now is mainly the pace of the game, there is not much to do yet so several interactions are locked between specific hours(in some way it makes sense as no one would be all day in a specific room) but it also has events tied to a day of the week, and as there isn't much to do right now, forces you to skip ahead several days unless you need to grind a bit the money. Maybe in the future with more content it gets solved but for now it gets really long to advance in the game with some grinding.
A suggestion I give to the dev team is creating a new way to work, maybe the cafe house, so maybe in those days when you have to skip you could work in some and get more money than doing the dishes every day.

Another thing I don't really enjoy is, if for some reason the character is faced opposite to a door you need to cross it ignores the command several times forcing you to face the character correctly

Also some parts of the map are really big for the pace of the character so something like there is in the house(easy access to different parts) would be appreciated to easily cross, otherwise it doesn't invite that much to go there too often.

TL;DR
For now I enjoy the models used and some of the mechanics but the game is still low in content and sometimes unnecessarily slow in others making it slightly boring until you reach the next phase as such my 3 stars, as it kept me playing but felt that it could have been better. I will keep paying attention and adjust my review accordingly

Actually, This game needs some attention on the way save files behave and how to take away those pesky bugs because that's the principal of any kind of games. As for the gameplay of a real-time 3d, This one gives us the freedom that only few other games could offer, in addition to a quite engaging story, I can say. Hope the Dev would put more time working on this game.

(v.15)
Good Lord I just spent the entire afternoon click-clickety-clicking my way through this thing. At a certain point the hints stopped, so I think that means I clicked my way to the end... did I?

This is like the next step in evolution from the dev's previous work, which I have also played, reviewed, loved and hated.

It's a 3d adventure with a hot, yet neglected MILF, a nerdy daughter who is bustin', a dragon lady prof straight from my wildest dreams, and a shmuck just trying to figure it all out. Oh yeah, and there's Janice. You know this dev's work, you know Janice. Say hello, Janice.

I see the same clever little visual touches, like the hot MILF checking out the room to make the coast is clear before snoggin' with our hero. I love stuff like that . I love the random hotties struttin' their stuff around the campus or the quaint shopping area (anyone been to Bath, UK? It really reminds me of that). I am concerned about the need to actually traverse so much terrain. I mean, I have to cross the effin' street at the crosswalk. And don't get me started on the park. A walkin' sim... with tits.

Trying to do it all in 3d really is taking a chance. You can read the rage-quitters in the discussion. The dev is perverse. On the one hand, he's added a lot of quality of life stuff that wasn't there in the previous work. On the other hand, he's made the damn thing almost fully 3d, with all the attendant hassle... 2 steps forward, 2 steps back...

I have a lot of respect for this dev. He is totally non-derivative, his thing is his own (pardon my pronouns) and I think he has maybe the best composition skill of any creator on this site. But I am not sure I can spend another half-day clicking my life away...

Oh yeah, not a huge amount of hot stuff so far. Lots of teasing, though. For some reason, when they're kissing, the MILF suddenly looks much taller than the MC. Weird. I hope we're not going to end up with another Baby Herman like the last one.

[v.012 Beta]
Short review : I really love this game.It's story is a pornfilm one,where female characters have a slutty behaviour,but are not sluts.You should prove yourself worthy of them ,of sort,by doing some simple tasks that are not hard,nor grindy,for now(v0.12).Overall,really great game,nice sexy looking models,very smooth detailed animations,beautiful graphics,lots of small encounters during the day(like Brenda taking your clothes to laundry)where they are just in a sexy pose,but it's so sexy in my opinion.
More details:
Gameplay:Repetitive style,with not so many changes as the game story progresses,but with new encounters and tasks.Wake up everyday,speak to the girls,do what they want,new task with a little peek at their ass,or them doing a sexy pose.They have their own schedule,which doesn't change a lot.
It's a full 3D game,so you can freely walk around house,from a 3-rd person perspective.Some grind necessary in building strenght an charisma(only this traits matter for now in the game(v0.12),but it's like 1 minute of grinding.Overall,visual novel style quests of do/get/learn to do.Also some interesting mechanics like volleyball game and peeking in the shower,which i was pleasantly surprised.
Graphics:Game looks really nice.Shadows are precise,lightning is a bit to bright outside at day,but It's not really that disturbing.Textures are all High-Quality,characters bodies are really hot,with not so hot faces,but I find them ok.
Performance:A strong PC required to play on Ultras,and even on low you would need a nice working machine.I mean,some 2013 HP laptops won't even run the game.My runs went smoothly,I had no bugs overall,game didn't crash everything worked fine.Game has also nice physics:Hair physics(can be turned off in the options),boobs,ass jiggling,which are very hot and sexy,and not excesivelly bouncy.
UI/Interface:Very VERY good.Almost perfect.You always know where girls are precesly,you dont need to look for them everywhere.You don't need to load 10 rooms in a row,because you have TELEPORTATION(!!!) which is extremely helpful.Lots of settings,character costumisation(only clothing and minor piercings).The quest log is the only impostor here(sus),it's really undeveloped,but I think will be fixed in the future.
Sex Scenes:The problem of this game is that it's still in beta,so:1 sex scene(dream)+blowjob+handjob,1 peeking in the shower,1 masturbation scene,1 touching ass scene.There will be more content in the future for sure,so I put 5 stars because potential.
Overall:Great experience,really liked this game.If you like hot ladies just walking around butt,tits shaking,bikini,and bending over like sluts,it's pefect.
For 0.12 Beta,really good,5 stars

Three minutes into the game, and I've already encountered game breaking bugs and other problems. It looks like a good game. Nice camera orbit, zoom, and pan. Pretty good looking characters and graphics. But the problems that I encountered are frustrating and have completely halted my progress AT THE VERY START of the game, so I'm taking a break to mention the problems that I've encountered in this review and then I'll try to motivate myself to restart the game in a bit.

Feedback - I did not like the color selector tool during the character customization process. I guarantee you that there are countless color selector tools that are much better than this one. Much less confusing and much easier to use.

Feedback - The game does not auto save after you have customized your character. So if you need to force exit the game afterwards, you have to start completely over and recustomize your character which is a somewhat long and tedious process. I just started playing 0.11 Beta and only read like a dozen lines of dialogue and met three characters, and I've already had to force exit the game twice because meeting Emily Perez freezes the game. So that makes two times that I had to recustomize my character. Make the game autosave or have us manually save after we create our character!!!

Feedback - Once I finished creating my character, the game started. I was on the bus. I wanted to pause the game and go into the kitchen for some water because I did not know if the dialogue auto forwarded or if I had to press a button to advance it. I hit the Esc key to pause the game, and instead of pausing the game it advanced the dialogue a few lines and suddenly I was no longer on the bus and I had no idea what backstory I missed. Then I tried unsuccessfully to get to the Main Menu so I could restart the game, but pressing Esc just kept skipping dialogue until I got to the part where meeting Emily Perez froze the game. Esc should NOT advance the dialogue. Esc should ONLY be used to get to the main menu!!!

Feedback - As I mentioned there is a huge bug that some people reported in the comments section of F95 around 5-6 weeks ago. Once Emily Perez is introduced with her name displayed on the screen, the game freezes. No keyboard button or mouse button will progress the game. The recommended fix is to restart the game (forcing you to recustomize your character) and skip the entire intro which is not cool because I wanted to finish the intro.

Feedback - Once in the game, you can follow the dialogue, but every sentence is missing one to three words. It's like every fifth word is missing in the sentence so you have to play Wheel of Fortune in your brain and figure out what the missing words are. English is spoken in just about every country in the world. If you, yourself, can't write English well enough it's not that hard to find a decent, native English speaker that can proofread what you wrote. And I'm sure there would be plenty of people on F95 who would volunteer to make the necessary fixes for free.

Feedback - I agree with other people that the "dad's boss's wife's daughter" looks more like an aunt. There is no way that she is 19. Brenda is 38, and Emily looks like she could be 32-35 years old, not 19.

Feedback - I don't understand why there is a "click to move" instead of WASD movement in this game. Third person controller in Unity (or even Unreal Engine) is an extremely easy thing to add. I have 0.000001% knowledge when it comes to any game engine, but I can add a third person controller setup within minutes. One thing to note though is that you can hold down shift to run to the spot you clicked, so that made things better. But I still prefer WASD over click to move.

Feedback - I like that the text it outlined with no textbox background behind it, but the outline could be thicker. It's a bit difficult to read the text sometimes.

UPDATE: Okay, so I tried playing it again some more and there really doesn't seem to be any content at all. You just skip an hour, run around and explore every single room in the house hoping to find someone. If you find someone, they either can't be interacted with or you say something stupid like "you really should put on sunblock" or "you shouldn't drink too much coffee" and the other person says "yeah you are probably right". And that's about it. I went to the university and met a hot teacher and that's it. Two floors of classrooms, none of the doors will open. One is the hot teacher's classroom but it's a demo so you can't go in and have class. And there is a student outside you can't interact with. This has "boring sandbox" written all over it, but once it gets actual content it might become better. I see myself waiting a year or longer for the game to get some content and then I will probably just use someone else's save to access the lewd content. The game feels more like a 0.0.11 than a 0.11.

Damn I got duped into thinking that there is some content. Generally all games in here when they get to 0.10 as a tenth update they have tons of content and here is almost nothing but promises for things and how it will generally work. I will abandon this game for now till it gets something started because its frustrating expirience without any real reward to work hours for. Even with damn hints it was frustrating because you as a character should be able to talk with others and get info from them but nah. Search whole game for clues and piece them together yourself. Great.. hours wasted on searching shit and skipping days just to get to some good part only to be dissapointed in the end. It has great potential but for now only that. Nothing more to this game than promise for the future.

As a game it lacks almost everything but as a promise for the future it gets 4 stars. I mean.. in a year or two this might be a decent game.
