Unity - Seaside Mystery [v0.28.3] [KsT]

I so badly wanted to like this game. Character customization is great and the ability to control the camera is also really nice. Other than that, this game is a masterclass in wasting your time and money. Most events end with item checks or stat checks you're SUPPOSED to fail. meaning you'll do most events 2-3 times just to complete it. Everything needs to be done in a particular order. half the battle is figuring out what you need to do first. YOU NEED TO BE A PAID PATRON TO EITHER SAVE OR LOAD. i didnt know that so i lost 5 hours of progress. This is my first ever review and i am fuming.

Amazing game, great scenes, great animations, nice immersive story, beautiful models. Everything the Twist did great but now with better definition.

The only con I could think of was the money-grind (but there are ways to cheat that I think) and in the Twist we had blue/red options in scenes (soft/rough) and those are not in Seaside Mystery.

Honestly, when I first saw this game I had low hopes. I've tried getting in to The Twist but the game is so unbelievably sluggish. Poor optimization and general lack of focus in the story was a real let down since the game is quite well-known. I'm surprised that this game runs so much better than The Twist. It's sort of open world which is kinda strange. So far the mechanic hasn't really seen too much of a use. This game could've just as well worked as a point and click adventure game. Honestly, it is the only downside of the game so far. Exploration can be a bit tedious but it is not too bad. The character models and scenes are some of the best. There is good build up and the story is simple and straight forward. Progression with the characters is also not as tedious any longer. You get helpful hints. There's also customization options for the characters. This game feels like what The Twist should've been. There are also recurring characters which is a big plus. Updates are also pretty frequent (once every 2 months) for about 1 to 2 hours of content (if you don't skip). And it's not just story progression and scenes. Updates typically also include new locations and character customization. KST is definitely proving to be much more capable than I once thought. I just hope that he makes more sense of the open world in the future. Honestly collectibles would be pretty fun! They honestly don't need to be lewd collectibles. They could be world-building collectibles. Like fun easter eggs to The Twist or something. Or a meme. I can definitely recommend this game for people as it is getting better with each update!

excellent game , nice story progression , maps are good too , nice characters , i can understand 3d games are tough to make , lot of appreciation for developer or kts team if its a team or single guy , waiting for further updates.

best game of the forum simple as that, amazing gratphics and gameplay something you will not find in any other game.. nice storytelling as well a lot os naghty stuff that is why i like this tipe of game to beging with.. and the developer dont save on the cenes! all very diverce and well made!

This game really has potential. But there are some bad things.

Positive:
+Women are very attractive.
+Customizations are satisfactory.
+Stories are interesting.

Negative:
-Walking speed is very slow (especially the city center and college are torture!).
-No auto-save.
-Needs a better gallery.

I'm giving this game 5 stars because I liked the first game (The Twist).

I really enjoyed KsT's new game. I played a lot of "The Twist" but eventually I dropped it when became too long and I didn't had patience to find where I was in the walkthrought. The new hint system works perfectly. The models kept his style, but are better. The animation is very smooth and good, the scenarios are beautiful and the game runs smoothly too. I really enjoyed start playing now that there's a lot of content already. I understand some complaints, but as I know and like the style of the creator, I think he's doing the same, but much better.

Characters look terrible, especially the giant breasts,
women wear high hells at home, even in the bathroom, really?
minigames not avoidable,
long loading times when changing locations,
tons of typos / spelling mistakes

Overall a top notch 3d game from KsT. The Twist was good. But this? Takes it to a whole new level. This is like Summertime Saga if it was 3D and ACTUALLY delivered timely updates.


I have to give points for a lot of things:

• Great character models -- holy shit is Brenda and Emily absolutely gorgeous. Probably up there in the pearly gates of Mom/Daughter character models
• The great build up. Seriously -- this is one of the best slow burns I've seen, and once everything starts to heat up it gets exponentially better. I've always hated games that had the love interests DTF from the getgo with no real buildup of emotions, especially to a stranger they haven't met until the game starts.
• The amazing character customization -- letting you pick how you want your ladies to look, in addition to the plethora of cosmetic options and variants (day/night/workout/etc.) gives so much control to the player how they want to see their love interests.
• The lewd scenes are fantastic -- camera controls that allow for not only 3rd person views but POV perspectives make the already great sex scenes even more immersive.
• The walkthrough system is intuitive and easy to understand -- this renders the gameplay pretty linear and makes it clear to the player what they need to do in order to progress with the story. A big peeve of mine is having to rely on a .pdf document or user post to figure out the sequence of events to trigger a naughty scene, with no help in-game. Seaside Mystery's navigation system is simple and easy to understand.

Some minor grievances, but not overall big enough for me to lower the score:

• The movement takes a bit of time to get used to, but once it clicks it seems largely very intuitive.
• Aside from that, the only other minor issue is that blasted volleyball minigame with Janice (but I finally got it!)

Absolutely stellar game. Really helped cement my decision to support the creator financially.

If you're a fan of slow burn games like this, definitely try out this game!

lot of potential this game , nice customization of characters , only problem is that dev should add pov button other angle buttons to experience the intimate moments
load up screen slightly slow, may be rectified
milf, teacher, roomate are all very hot

Is the attemp ok? Sure.
Is the game ass? Yes.

Yes the models are passable but we have all seen better.
Yes its 3d navigable. To what point, I am not sure, it is just a waste of time.
The minigame encountered (voleyball) is absolute ass. (Waste of time)

The entire game is built on wasting your time (not grinding, just World of Wrcrafting you to navigate an empty 3d world).

The game is less than mediocre so far.

Overall: 2/5 - If this game were completed, it wouldn't be worth more than $10. No way I'm going to be a supporter and pay at least $1 every time there's an update just so I can save my game while also being a beta tester and having to deal with bugs.

Story: 3/5 - I didn't get very far into it, but it was average at best.

Writing: 2/5 - English is abysmal. I've seen worse, so I give it 2 stars. I found it really ironic that one of the first quests was to find a book about Advanced English Grammar.

Graphics: 2/5 - I very much appreciate the dynamically-rendered 3D models as I think that's where adult games really need to go, but... the graphics/models really look like they're close to 20 years old.

Gameplay: 2/5 - Gameplay was a complete letdown. It's tedious and non-intuitive and reeks of a disconnect with best-known practices in gaming.

• Moving around is slow and clunky.
• The user interface for controlling the MC is both inconsistent and non-intuitive. Game studios have been making 3rd-person and 1st-person 3d games for 30 years and the dev chooses to create a garbage interface because... not invented here.
• Dialogue stops the character from moving, yet players can still change the camera orientation. Why? Seriously, why? Especially, when it's just the players thoughts like "I don't have to pee, now."
• Hint system is sometimes broken because it requires a specific day or to wait a specific amount of time, or completing a different quest first is required.
• The world available to the player is really empty.
• Progression is too linear for the type of game.

Lewd content: N/A - I never reached any. I gave up beforehand.

Bugs: 2/5 - Twice I hit a bug where all of the user interface buttons never reappeared after clicking the Skip button. The MC wouldn't move (although the camera could still be changed and items like doors would still highlight when the mouse hovered over them) and the only way to recover was to quit the game and reload an old save. Finally, I think that I hit a soft lock, but I'm not 100% sure. After I read more of the thread and realized I might've hit a soft lock, I decided this game just wasn't worth pursuing.

Another good game From KST, can't wait every update. Models are great, Animations and scenes also promising. Graphics are also updated, I feel free when I play the game. There is long road ahead for this game for sure. It needs to more update to play.

Good animations, is not a simple visual novel, nice content and very good characters. If you played The Twist this game will like you. One of my favorites, I love this kind of games.

Graphics - 7/10
Animations - 8/10
Gameplay - 7/10
Sound/Music - 5/10
Story - 6/10

My feelings are telling me to rate this lower however the visuals are good enough for a star. The biggest issue really is it seems like the dev didn't learn anything from their previous game. Everything is incredibly linear despite being a sandbox (an incredibly prevalent issue across many sandbox games both H and non-H), and while you are given hints on how to progress with the characters kind of they aren't always available and most of the time it has to be a specific day and time which isn't told to you. I understand sandboxes are very hard to make so if you don't want to make one then just don't. Because both of this dev's games are not actually sandboxes.

This game truly stands out and deserves more appreciation. Serving as a worthy successor to The Twist, it introduces various enhancements that significantly enhance the overall experience. What sets this game apart is its unique feel in comparison to others in the same genre. While the current content might be somewhat limited, the developer openly acknowledges that the game is still a work in progress. Despite its current state, I have confidence in the developer's ability to deliver something exceptional. I suggest giving it a try or, if you prefer, waiting for a few more updates to experience additional content.

Played: v0.22.1

Just like KsT's last game, this one has a bunch of pro's and cons. The game can feel very grindy, even more so then The Twist. You will be walking around a lot which can be annoying. The story is nothing special, there is a main story thread that just started about your parents, but the game doesn't really seem to focus on that.

One of the good things about this game are the graphics and animations. They are great. There are a bunch of new effects since The Twist, like body and hair physics. Characters get sweaty or wet and overall it just looks a lot better.

The characters are pretty standard. There are a lot of milfs, and some teens. The buildup is slow and there is not a lot of sex yet. But the sex that is there does look pretty good. There are even some sounds now in certain moments.

I really liked The Twist, even though that game was slow as hell and pretty grindy if you didn't use cheats. I hope that Seaside Mystery will go as far as The Twist. Currently it is very vanilla, but that was the same for the last game. I also hope the updates will be in a timely fashion now that The Twist is over. This game has been a tech demo for multiple years, but in 2023 it finally started to become a game.

Pro's:
- 3d engine (so nothing is pre-rendered)
- Characters look pretty good (some limbs and shoes could use some work)
- Some sounds added

Cons:
- Pretty grindy
- Walking around gets annoying real fast. You can teleport in your house, but the game would be a lot better if the other locations had something simular.
- Even though there is already multiple hours of centent, there is not a lot of sex yet, and only with a limited amount of characters.
-Pretty vanilla compared to the last game, but that might change in the future.

A whole of nothing, just like their last game, you roam around a strangers house like an autist trying to force corvesation to happen all to get some pussy. The controls hold true to the devs in-abillity to comprehend something simple, trying to re-invent the wheel for no fucking reason. Time is completely fucking pointless that the same thing could be achieved with 4 different timezones, but that would not add to the MC autism of wandering the house. I am a proud owner of vega 64 and believe me that this game utilizes the entire GPU for such a game as this. 1,5/5 because I believe this game would be better in time unless they follow their old ways.

P.S. The college is pointless waste of space that the same thing could've have been achieved by teleporting us inside the class hallway, and by adding 2 other rooms.

I have always had prejudices against these 3D unity games, but this game breaks all my prejudices. I have played a lot of +18 renpy games and unity games and I can easily say that it is one of the best unity games. Especially the character costumization is perfect.

Damn this game is amazing so far, must be 5/5. Zero errors, zero bugs, nice graphics, uncensored. It's really amazing KST is the GOD making videogames.
I love the 3D, Can't wait for play this game finished
