Unreal Engine - Silicon Lust [v0.37b] [Auril]

Time to write another excessively detailed and rambling review!

So, let's begin from the part everyone cares most about. Sex scenes are well animated and plentiful. As usual they are slow, that is easier to animate and physics work better with slower movements. Understandable choice. Camera is mostly free in sex scenes. A handful of sex scenes have a directed camera and I personally prefer that over having full control myself as finding a good angle takes effort. Sex scenes only progress if you press space, this is good as it allows the player to hold on any individual act as much as they want and it allows skipping through scenes the player might not be as into. Overall sex very good yes.

A subsection of the sex scenes would be character models I suppose. The women are extremely attractive with mildly exaggerated proportions. No breasts and ass the sizes of beach balls. This is very much to my tastes. The men though are unpleasant to look at. Though that is common. At least they are not the 'ugly bastard' trope fully. They are not fat or old. They're skinny and young. But also clearly neither cares about their appearances. Which is slightly unpleasant, but as long as you just focus on the women it won't stick out much.

Writing is porn writing but in a good way. I'm a detail obsessed cunt so I will pick it apart. In the story you play as a perverted, yet sexually inexperienced girl. She is described as barely legal so I would assume around the age of 18-19. This is just a personal preference but I absolutely adore this choice in protagonist. It's a perspective quite rarely seen in games and one I wish I saw more. The game features a variety of fetishes and kinks, one of the most prevalent is exhibitionism, which again, happens to be one of my personal favourites. The characters mostly react to shocking turns of events with relative nonchalance. Which is good as we don't really care for hysterics in porn. And especially when Kira gets sexually assaulted it looks like she enjoys it a fair bit and never refers to it as rape. This effectively bypasses a personal massive turn-off. I am absolutely disgusted by full on rape in any games I play, or even if the character enjoys it, if they call it rape it just makes me disgusted.

In terms of gameplay the game is somewhat linear, allowing a handful of choices, but also allows mostly free exploration of the environment. Sadly the environment is somewhat small and with few interactable objects and not many repeatable scenes. Though most of the story related sex scenes can be replayed through the computer. There are no management mechanics. The game mostly functions as a pseudo point & click game. You find triggers for scenes and objects you can interact with to progress. Fairly simple stuff for the most part but some items can be a pain to find. There are also choices that are quite ambiguous. Without a guide you will not know what scene will be triggered by what choice and sometimes you don't even know you have a choice to make. The walkthrough link on the page is easy to follow though.

Mechanically the game is slightly clunky. Sometimes it can take some fiddling to get a prompt to appear and since it's not on the object itself it can be missed while looking for items to interact with. It didn't pose a significant problem though and I only ran into one game breaking bug where I had to reload a save. The progress was easy to catch up on though so I don't mind.

Edit: Forgot to talk about a couple things.
Not being able to get all sex scenes unlocked on the computer in one save file is dumb.
The characters of Justin and Albert are very unappealing. As Alice put it "trailer trash" Justin is a hillbilly that lives in a trailer and leeches off Kira's electricity. And he doesn't look clean. He has a very poorly maintained stubble and always wears a dirty cap. Just looking at him, he seems like he smells. Not a person you'd want to have sex with. And the nerd character Albert is so spineless and cowardly that he is not appealing either. I would really hope they introduce more appealing male characters in future updates. I want to be fucked by people who have more things that are attractive except their massive cocks.

Conclusion: Overall I enjoyed my time with the game massively. The scenes are incredibly hot and they are plentiful. The kinks and fetishes are some of my personal favourites, and the gameplay was a refreshing change of pace. However there are still technical shortcomings and the characters are hit or miss.

PS. This portion is only for those who care more about my personal reasons for writing the review.
I've enjoyed my time on this site mostly not interacting, but I feel like I want to start doing my part. I'm so tired of the top of this site being only visual novels. Reading hours of dialogue for one mediocre sex scene. It's so far from what I want when coming here. So I intend to start writing more reviews for games which I hope I'd see more. Games with actual gameplay, control, and for god's sake, some female protagonists. The VAST majority of the games are from a male perspective and it's just a bit difficult for me to enjoy that. I hope you found my review informative and easy to read. Looking forward to more fun times on this site!

Fantastic use of unreal engine.
Still some bugs/lags/fatal crash errors during animation loading but the game is so well done that it doesn't bother me.
Tons of great scenes with progression, free camera etc.
Thanks for the latest save file because the gameplay seems like it takes too long.
The "!" popups should be easier to target and notice maybe with more hints.
If the character isn't facing the exact direction you can easily miss some of the queues.
The "point and click" sections work much better than the "walk around and press E".
Character mods would be cool.

Animations are great, anal and gangbangs are a huge plus.
Cumshots are pretty good including the female reactions, blinks etc.
The lighting especially in the screenshots with the scenes on the computer seem off. The screenshots are too dark.

Great job.

This is by far one of the best overall 3D adult game, nice ambience and very comfortable gameplay, awesome graphics also. Story is attractive and keeps you playing, a real fun and nice adult game to spend some time on. It does not feel as something is missing, very few things I would improve

Its rare i made a review but i need to do it this time.
This game is awesome, the gameplay are very simple ok but the narration and the story bring me hype asf.
Graphism are totally accurate with U5 just need a better optimisation.
Its a very addictive game

It's a fun little walking sim with some porn here and there here's a mini review for V 0.35b

Scenes 5/5
nothing but fun when you watch the scenes least to me

Gameplay 2/5
some things are hard to locate and other points it's just impossible without the guide

Story 3/5
nothing really there but it's acceptable in to me

Final Score 10/15
It's a fun lil game for now but as it is it still needs some work, will update...if I remember to lol

Hot protag! Great animations! Fucked up story!
Gameplay loop is kinda ass though (you just walk from one scene to the next, virtually no player agency, apart from the occasional "find this object" ovjective). No quest log or tracker! Compound this with no objective indicators and you will get soft-locked every 5 minutes, especially if you pick-up a game-in progress after some time. The game is virtually unfinishable without following a play-trough to a T.
The dev obviously is new to UE5 and doesn't quite know what they are doing.
BUT, all that said, i have hope that they will manage to turn it a round and make it into a proper game... eventually... in a decade. Or two.

was a big fucking mess those days but now with fsr3 and frame generation my gpu is able to run the game over 45 fps on ultra setting so far so good the story and gameplay are great and the graphique is good as well for me some bug here and there but nothing crazy the game is enjoyable so the only big fucking bull shit issue was the perfomance but thats a hold story

One of the only on going game i download instantly at each update, sadly it miss aloooot content after 5years of developement, i love style of main character and poses are decent, as i know it the only 3d game with questing and good design that exist, to resume game it "exploring, folowing quest, strange story but still a story, nice for eyes with a hot girl", this game deserve more with more money and a big team, it would be masterpiece way faster.

Despite the long developement of the game, the whole storytelling , suspense , intrigue , amount of teases , dialogue - everything is hot and full of lust , which applies to me as a player.

The other good part of the game is animations , graphics, light - all this doubles the gameplay. I cant say more games in which i like to replay the scenes, and Silicon Lust is one of them .

One creator of this game makes better than some other porn games that consist of @team@. So ,my hope is to get more scenes and further story.

It's an asset flip with horrible performance, not worth the 10gig download tbh. Bugs, clothes clipping, bad performance, weird inconsistencies in interraction (use from inventory or use E and then find a hotspot?! pick one approach and stick to it)
You can actaully change item descriptions if you tab into the textbox xD

Overall - meh.

Game is beautiful and has amazing scenes. I would say that it could use in game hints of some sort as resorting to the walkthrough was very frequent. Additionally informing the player how to save would be amazing as it took me a couple hours to notice it had a save function. Looking forward to updates for sure.

enjoyed it more then expected but you can see its early stages.
also i wish they made items that you can interact with clearer.
if you skip text or rush it a bit you can get stuck for a while as i had.

cant wait to see what they bring in the next updates

Okay, Silicon Lust.

At first, I found it somewhat interesting to play this game, well, not exactly play, but just to walk around and watch the scenes. The gameplay doesn't pose much difficulty; everything is quite intuitive and understandable. I even derived some enjoyment from spending time in this game; it was as if I were in some kind of astral plane.

The animations are good and diverse, the nighttime atmosphere is well portrayed. You can even feed the cat, and that, excuse me, is an immediate plus one point without any discussion. I was impressed by the beautiful reflections in the mirror and the interesting storytelling approach with unexpected twists.

Of course, optimization hasn't improved at all over such a long development time, but... but... I don't know what I did; it's a cosmic mystery. At some point, for reasons that are not entirely clear, something in the project probably broke to pieces, but I was getting a solid 50 frames per second, regardless of graphic settings. I could max out all the graphics settings in this game, and believe it or not, it always maintained a stable 50 frames per second. But there's no gain without pain; it was a soft lock in which only the hood worked (-_-), and everything else just froze in time. I think this will help the developer finally rid people of suffering and solve the performance issue.

But the time you can spend at home in search of the meaning of existence is so emotionally charged that it's at least one more point.

The project isn't bad, but it's not quite good either, and it seems to intentionally drive people away with bugs (I'm not talking about regular bugs, only those causing soft locks or preventing the storyline from progressing), poor performance, and sometimes completely unclear tasks that can befall the player because they hurried. Nevertheless, sooner or later, the weariness will overtake you, and nothing will hold you in it due to the excessive tedium of everything happening within it.

4/5 because:

+:
- good graphic;
- good animations;
- cute main character.

+-:
- there is a story with some twists, not perfect but it not just 3d porn;
- gameplay, sometimes it can be a little bit difficult to understand what you need to do, but in general its OK;
- not much content, I mean its enough for v0.29b, but the game is 3yo, could be more.

+--:
- bugs, but since its not AAA game not so bad.

-:
- optimization, 3060 + ryzen 5 5600x can't handle it.

What do we have at the end? Imo its one of the best 3d game. I wish the developer good luck.

I hope to see the finished version of the game.

The developer meets my taste exactly, I like the horror aspect and the structure of the story. The topic of optimizing the game isn't that important to me, since it's still in development anyway. I think the animations are really good. The game is very good which would make it perfect for me if you had choices and maybe qte events where you have to resist or get raped or seduced. sorry for my english. have a nice day

The sex scenes are great, you don't have to grind for hours for them, and they're fairly common. The game itself is also somewhat interesting, and kinda spooky at times. The protagonist is also attractive. Overall, pretty darn good.

I seriously loved this game ...I was watching it for 2 years and I tried it two days ago and i loved the graphics its amazing but need like work I have very power gpu but once the game start it jump to max and the fans maxed too and I discovered to bugs one when I lower the settings form epic to medium the face become black reload fix it and once when I change the clothes with socks they become invisible plus the mirror in the room or anywhere not doing good job anyway about the story and the poses and everything going great .. I love it and one more than sometimes I get lost look on what to do next I hope journal or something to remind me and tell that I wont miss other stuff because when I open pc which gallery there scenes I dont know how to see them

No decision-making whatsoever. Things just happen entirely linear, forcing you to jump through hoops that are tedious at best, but frustrating for the most part, especially when you don't know where to go/what to do and nothing in the non-existent UI helps you. Not going to start with the buggy graphics, necessity of a gamma adjustment setting and performance issues...
The gameplay requires you to walk from A to B to click one thing until some random weird event(you have no influence at all on) triggers, rinse and repeat. The basic principles of what makes a game a game are not fulfilled here.

Excellent game with great animations and a lot of enjoyable scenes. Can't wait to see more of this game in the future and I am going to keep checking in regularly. This is definitely one of my favorites that I have played.

Silicon Lust [v0.28b]

This game has a fancy engine and the cutscenes look good. However, its buggy as hell, the game may break at any point and you are stuck. You do things out of order of the sequence the game expects you to follow and it breaks. There is no proper hint system on what you have to do next. What little dialogue there is its horrible. Finally the sex scenes are pretty much a honey select poser mini game with no controls on the scenes, just the angle. This game could be good (4 stars) but right now its kind of a hot mess. Still pretty impressive for an indi dev.
