VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Sinful Delicacies [Ep.17] [Temptress Games]

Pictures and animation - 5. Story - 1. The pictures and animation are pretty good. I'd say 4 or 5. However, the story is very much lacking and just get ridiculous at times. The MC is a couple fries short of a happy meal. I thought the MC couldn't get any dumber, and I was proven wrong. Cut back on the espionage stuff and for the love god, please have the MC make smarter decisions. Also, looks like the developer is really into the fast and the furious. XD

its a blueballs game, took 10 fucking episodes for MC to bang his mom, and he only did it ONCE at the END of the fucking episode. I dont know what it is with these r******d developers and thinking holding off on the sexual content in a porn game is a good move, MC just rubs up on her the entire game like a beta.

The quality of the renders is good.
There aren't any animations.
The story is average(basic English with some mistakes).
The amount of renders for updates is low.
But mom character is awesome.

One thing is slow-building but this goes beyond another level, all the vaginal sex is mostly the aunt of the mc fucking random guys, this game is about the mc trying to fuck the mom and even after 10 EPs he is still getting some rubbing here and there. At first the game was good and the progress too but seems like the dev just wants to delay it more and more for no reason. If you like blueball games this is probably the best one.

Seems like finally the mc bang the mom, still 10 eps for that and at the very end of ep 10...
now probably another 10 updates or more to bang the other girls... except for the sister since the mc fucks her when she is sleeping.

The models are excellent, the settings are beautiful, the story is OK/Pretty good. The one big turn-off is the MC. What a complete douche. Utterly without self-restraint or respect for others. The stereotypical guy who lets his dick make all the decisions for him, no matter how inappropriate. I can see him being in jail before very long because he saw someone really sexy and could not help but jerk off in the street in front of her.

Such a pity, because the rest is very promising. Just dial back (hard) on the the MC's libido. We are supposed to sympathize with the MC - that's difficult when you feel like he deserves get de-nutted. He's a clear and extreme case of Impulse Control Disorder.

So two stars, in the hopes that the MC can grow the hell up - no so much as to not get his fun , but without being insanely stupid in his risk-taking and blatant disregard for the desires of others. If that happens, 5 stars all the way.

What you did on your last update is unforgiveable. #1 You need to update your tags to have RAPE!!!! in it!!!! Not only did you have one, but you had TWO rape scenes in it!!! To get this far in the story and to add it?!?!?! Did you go insane or something? Let someone take over it who wanted to ruin your work? I just don't get it.

Your MC is a complete rapist, molesting, douchebag, moronic, jackass. This actually kind, I would like to say worse.

The base story is as simple as simp MC tries to get with older married woman, the rest of the story is just bonkers, wanting romantic time with someone while on the run for your life, adopting people you literally just met, passing up $100 million for a couple of hours of sex, worried about being killed for doing something but still continuously doing it, on and on too many to put here, it really is a clown world.


At the start it puts a lot of emphasis on saying the choices make a difference throughout the game but its a total lie, there are 23 times you need to click on a "choice" when there is only one thing to click, 7 "choices" that do nothing(you have to do all of them 1 at a time or end in game overs if you don't pick the right one), so far i have found only four choices that actually are choices and none of them matter at all to the game, so this game is completely choice-less.

The MC is not just a super simp he's the king of simps and spends at least half the game(possibly more) talking about how hot the older woman is(honestly i don't think he has any thoughts other than that and it gets boring very fast), apart from that he dosent do anything he's just along for the ride, for some reason he cares so much for a family that would kill him for a once in a lifetime mistake.

The women in the game are just terrible, the main woman is a huge tease and is just a huge bitch for it, one is a sadistic killer, another is a multiple unavoidable NTR woman, and while i get that MC might want to have sex with them(their hot) they are not people you would want a relationship with they are just bad people and without wanting to have a romantic relationship with them you might just as well skip to the interesting parts.

Which brings us to the sex scenes, all so far have been NTR and what little action MC gets its always just a tease and he gets nowhere(also creator wild pubic hair is never attractive ever).

The progression is way too slow, if you want the MC to take it slow with the main interest i understand that but add some side characters for MC to have fun with while he slowly gets with the main woman because at this point it will be years before MC gets any sex at all.

I tried so hard to read everything but with not caring about any of the horrible women in the game combined with some of the worst writing i have ever seen, even i started skipping by the time MC left the yacht.

Anyone with half a brain playing this game would be asking why dosent the MC just leave home?, if being around his family is that tempting to risk death then the obvious solution is to just leave.

Loads of spelling mistakes and having the wrong name indication on who's speaking.

Art is good but inconsistent(items get replaced).


Story 0/5 (makes no sense)
Sex 1/5 (almost none and badly done for the few there are)
Characters 0/5 (all horrible)
Art 3/5 (good but needs some work)
Choices 0/5 (none)
Kinks 1/5 (only 1 with the patch, rest is all standard sex)

This is one of the better incest games frankly. I like how it primarily focuses on the mother and not everyone else, like other games do and get's distracting. The build up is long. Graphics of the images are decent, animations are not really full motion most of the time, but it does a decent job. Character's are attractive and not too overblown. The story is a bit more on the original side in the first few parts.

Negatives are. No gallery or scene viewer, which is perplexing. This game REALLY needs one. Hopefully someone will make a mod that does. (I don't understand why dev's don't put them in their games) Your character has a ridiculous size of penis, like 12 inches, which is something I get tired of in these games. The intro/main splash screen of the game is VERY loud upon first loading it. Some of the dialogue is very repetitive, you continually compliment your mother to the point of a medical diagnosed obsession imo, and could have been trimmed down.

Still, I am looking forward to more and progressing with the mother and getting that reward...finally.

I really tried to play this all the way through, but the story is soooooooo bad I just gave up on it.
The story feels like it was written by a horny teenager.
I know this is a very lazy review and I should explain what parts I feel are bad. But honestly - it's pretty much all bad. The only reason I even played through as far as I did is because the models were pretty hot and I was at least hoping the MC would have sex with them all. I quit when the MC snuck into the moms room on the yacht, when she was sleeping and did things to her while she slept.

This is a LEGIT REVIEW/CRITIQUE of the game so no false flagging as there seems to be a lot of that going on with certain games The amount of times I have gotten crap for "Inappropriate Reviews" would be laughable if it wasn't untrue. I put details into my reviews so no they ain't "Inappropriate" Just HONEST.

2 year in the making & there is little content to be seen. This is another one of those games where EVERYONE gets laid except the protagonist, so yeah you spend the bulk of the game trying to seduce the female characters who are very well rendered I must add, but that is as far as it goes as the game cuts to other characters you don't know & could care less about getting it on instead.

The game could have been good, great even but as it stands its just another bog standard game where nothing happens for your character anyway.

Pros
-Beautifully rendered Characters
-Great Backgrounds
-Sound effects a good
-Storyline is actually quite compelling

Cons
-Very little erotic content for a game on this site
-Protagonist is a bit of a dweeb
-Just when things get interesting between the protagonist & the female characters it cuts to some random nobodies

Edit 2: Quality dropped so low that I'm officially giving my first ever 1/5 (instead of the original 2/5). This is so far the only AVN I have fully abandoned and will not finish seeing through.

Edit 1: There are also some issues with save files not working across versions. For example, I could NOT get any of my save files from the episode 5 release to work with episode 6 release, meaning I had to either start from scratch or download & use somebody else's save file).

Original Review: This game showed some promise when it was starting, but I have to say that I’ve been very disappointed with how it has been going. The writing isn’t particularly good, the main character is really stupid (and not charming at all), the story progression feels forced and unnatural, plus the other characters feel fake and made out of plastic. It isn’t the worst game out there, it isn’t unplayable, but there are most certainly better things you could spend your time on.

VERSION: Episode 1 through 7

Morality tales are a staple of civilization itself, passed down in the oral tradition they defined the cultures from whence they sprang, as printed words from the presses of medieval scholars and industrial age publishers they sought to educate; even today, contemporary writers employ simple parables to drive both advertising and political propaganda. Wherever there is a receptive mind or capacity for wonder that has not yet been dulled by the drudgery of life, there is a story waiting to be heard and a lesson to be gleaned.

Sinful Delicacies, despite the loftiness of its title, is not that sort of tale. Although the word "sin" is bandied about, there's no insight to be gleaned regarding human nature, relationships or the potential salvation of one's soul.

The player is introduced to the Reigns family, of whom our protagonist is a part, whose patron is the head of a Mafia-esque organization with global influence. Ludicrously wealthy, employing multiple Lamborghinis as decor in their front room, they boast mansions, jets, helicopters and a private army of bodyguards to carry out their bidding: all in service to a genuinely silly narrative, buoyed by contrivance and coincidence.

Within the first episode the protagonist and Mrs. Reigns embark on a flight to Bora Bora, only to be shot down by a missile from an unknown assailant; the impact causes their pilot to perish and forces the pair to bail out, with no reduction in flight speed or altitude and bereft of a parachute. Miraculously, despite diving headfirst into the water, they survive without so much as a bruise.

Throughout the entire narrative Mrs. Reigns is repeatedly cited as faithful and in a loving relationship with her husband on whom she has "never cheated." This sentiment is reiterated by several characters, including the protagonist, alongside remarks concerning her husband's heartfelt dedication, how he would give anything for her and eviscerate anyone whose gaze so much as lingers on her too long. Indeed, no small amount of her own dialogue concerns that affection and fidelity, yet when he neglects to see them immediately upon their return from the island, for entirely justifiable reasons, she goes ballistic. "This is so typical of him! I'm so sick of it," she declares, when her husband later skips out on an impromptu date in order to manage their business affairs, which includes sending a hit team to retrieve their new adoptive daughter. Typical? The one thing he never does, as noted by every other character prior to this point, is now "typical" of his behavior?

Then there's the overarching narrative, which sees the protagonist stranded on a tropical island manned by some militant force that keeps women in bondage, patrols in high-tech military vehicles with a post-apocalyptic aesthetic and yet erects log cabins in addition to their significantly more sophisticated underground complexes; midway through, that entire plotline is seemingly abandoned in favor of a mysterious blackmailer that initially demands the protagonist kill an unknown individual, then dismisses the idea to have them steal a necklace known as the "Jewel of Love" instead. The player is treated to a meandering, rather trite story of the necklace's history including such treats as "He found the Rubies.. Forged a Necklace at a nearby Forge" and "they moved like shadows and fought like ghosts" alongside, most ludicrously, "However, Fresnia, unbeknownst to her, ask for the Necklace as a wedding gift." Unbeknownst to her? Are we to understand that, somehow, this woman requested it without knowing she'd done so?

Suitably, the author acknowledges in-dialogue that it is "A CRAPPY STORY!!"

Unlike the bulk of modern erotic visual novels, Sinful Delicacies' writing appears to have originated from an author who is fluent and educated in English; the vocabulary on display is more sophisticated than most and conversations appear more organic as a result. It is a distinct shame, therefore, that so many errors are present and increase in frequency as the game progresses, almost as if the author sacrificed any editorial oversight in order to meet some arbitrary release schedule. That's not to say these mistakes, grammatical and typographical, aren't apparent from the beginning. In fact, the game starts with a particularly glaring example: "Name you character!"

Similar errors abound throughout, a select few of which are illustrated below...


By the midpoint of the tale, having returned from the isle, the frequency of said errors begins to steadily outweigh the positive aspects of the writing. Worse yet, these are commonly the sort of mistake that could have been easily amended with an automated spellchecker.


Some, however, demand an editor and a shift in the author's understanding of English grammar. Take, for instance, their odd use of capitalization.


It's almost as if the author believes that every noun must be capitalized, were it not for lines such as...
Followed immediately by...
...clearly demonstrating they're capable of writing without this particular quirk.

Worse yet, and likely far more distracting to the average player, is the constant misuse of credits in dialogue. Despite the lines providing some indication as to who is speaking, often the name doesn't change. Take this scene between Mrs. Reigns and her daughter, for instance...


Clearly the second line ought to have been credited as stemming from the mother. There's also this exchange, as seen during an erotic sequence featuring the protagonist and Mrs. Reigns...


Or an entire erotic scene that, judging by the lines alone, is actually a solo affair...


There's also something to be said for the heavy-handed and invariably repetitious nature of the writing. It becomes eminently tiresome when, in every erotic interaction, the protagonist exclaims how he's experiencing "seventh heaven" much less that each time Mrs. Reigns removes so much as an article of clothing the protagonist lapses into a monologue about how "she's a goddess, like Aphrodite, it's enthralling, a beauty beyond compare, so enticing, so delicious, a feast, a delicious meal, so seductive, so sultry, I'm captivated, you're so hot, a MILF, beautiful, so gorgeous, oh my..." only for the player to reach the next scene and see it repeated. "Your tits are like those of a goddess, like Aphrodite, they're enthralling, a beauty..." This ceaseless torrent of compliments becomes more of a chore than flavor-text and, certainly, would wear on the patience of anyone forced to endure them in person.

Graphically, Sinful Delicacies treads a fine line between admirable and mediocre; the art is of relatively consistent quality, though not without some detracting elements. Odd rendering artifacts appear on the foreheads of several women, tiny black splotches that could easily have been corrected in any photo-editing suite. Attentive players will also note the inconsistent texture quality in the early game, with Mrs. Reign's nipples appearing like flat, blurry splotches in certain images and more detailed, three-dimensional assets elsewhere. Similarly, the fire used in several scenes is clearly derived from a transparent photograph or particle-based render, yet in a number of scenes on the island it is clearly a 3D model that would be more at home in an early PlayStation or Nintendo 64 era game.

This inconsistency further manifests in the general assets, which often seems to be a reflection of the developer utilizing whatever they had at hand regardless of how it clashes with their setting. For example: after bailing out of the plane, on the way to Bora Bora, and becoming stranded on a tropical island the player is shown numerous landscapes featuring everything from broadleaf ferns to maple trees. The player is also shown several scenes of the protagonist in repose at night, followed by one as they wake in the morning; between these, his boxer shorts change in design and color, a lamp disappears, the furniture shifts position, the bedsheets transition from a large stripe to significantly smaller ones, while the stone pattern on the chimney of his indoor fireplace loses its texture and becomes a smooth white. Even erotic scenes aren't spared such gaffes, as Mrs. Reigns can be seen covering her crotch with a single hand in one scene, yet moving it reveals a burst of pubic hair, some of which ought to have been visible in the prior image.

Credit must be extended for the inclusion of animations throughout the production, however, even in spite of their simplicity. Created by transitioning rapidly between two static images, the animations manage to heighten the eroticism somewhat but are seriously undercut by their lack of fluidity, to say nothing of the afterimage said effect leaves in its wake.

Veterans of the genre will also note the common Poser assets, from hair and car models to certain body types, yet here the developer also deserves a slight commendation. While often recognizable, sufficient care was taken to distinguish said assets from other games and apply tweaks (commonly around the eyes and with makeup) that result in relatively unique appearances.

Sinful Delicacies does not possess a soundtrack, per say, but certainly something of a promising start. The title track is a rather catchy tune, an upbeat electronic piece with a retro flair that contributes neatly to the ambience. Unfortunately, the other tracks are either bog-standard stock music that is woefully unsuited to the content or used so often in other games as to lack any novelty.

Gameplay consists of a uniformly linear progression through the heavily-scripted narrative, nearly every interaction outside of clicking to progress through the static scenes literally being a single option to do precisely that: proceed to the next scene. It is baffling how often this appears in these types of games, all the more so as they're ostensibly designed by fans of the genre. Nothing of value is gained by having the player shift their mouse from its resting position to click "Lie Down" after the protagonist notes he should, nor clicking "Wake Up" rather than merely allowing them to continue clicking anywhere else to accomplish the same goal.

Aggravatingly, of the few genuine choices provided, most entail immediate fail-states. Not long-term consequences, relationship altering modifiers nor even a prolonged and unique sequence: immediate failure. To whit, the protagonist is faced with an armed man who is leveraging his position over Mrs. Reigns to "fuck all [her] holes" until the moment their plane arrives, at which point the player may select from among two options. On the one hand, they may attempt to "de-escalate the situation" by, essentially, doing nothing. In this scenario, the man's partner abruptly shoots him and all is well. Alternatively, the player may "attack" the man. Click that and the screen transitions to an image of the man turning the gun on the protagonist: GAME OVER!

Yet again, one must inquire what is gained by providing meaningless choices to the player?

Finally, and on a purely subjective note, the portrayal of men within this visual novel is of a distinctly unsavory nature. Every man, including the protagonist, is either an adulterer or outright rapist, alternatively harassing, blackmailing or aggressively demanding the women service them sexually, whereas the protagonist takes advantage of women on multiple occasions that are either intoxicated or explicitly drugged. That's not to suggest the sexual activity isn't consensual, as only one scene strictly constitutes rape, but the fact that no attempt at demonstrating a sincerely loving or committed relationship is even remotely present speaks volumes as to the nature of this production.

GRAPHICS ------------------------------------------------------------ 7 / 10
+ Decent models of a relatively diverse array.
+ Incorporates animations during most erotic sequences.
- Assets include several low-quality models and textures.
- Several rendering artifacts, particularly on the women, that detract from their appearance.
- Animations are extremely rudimentary and leave afterimages due to their style.
- Inconsistency in several scenes; entire models and textures swap from image-to-image.
DIALOGUE ------------------------------------------------------------ 5 / 10
+ Extensive length and decent word choice.
+ Imaginative premise with unique characterization.
- Erratic portrayals, motivations often fail to align with prior characterization.
- Narrative meanders aimlessly, fails to resolve several threads.
- Grammatical and typographical errors increase in frequency as the game progresses.
- Dialogue is prone to repetition that is fairly trite, particularly during erotic scenes.
- Frequently mis-credits characters during dialogue.
GAMEPLAY ----------------------------------------------------------- 4 / 10
- Severely restricted player-agency and several immediate fail-states.
- Meaningless one-option "choices" that demand pointless mouse movement.
INNOVATION -------------------------------------------------------- 4 / 10
+ Premise affords the protagonist a significant degree of narrative freedom.

SCORE ============================ 20 / 40
FAIRLY STANDARD, MAY MERIT CONSIDERATION WITH SOME REVISION
Sinful Delicacies is, on the whole, rather typical for its genre, a linear visual novel with a particular inclination toward the tropes of mother/son incest fantasies. Although it does not excel in any notable regard, and is outclassed by several of its contemporaries, the game retains sufficient quality to merit consideration from genre fans who are willing to overlook its more immediate flaws. With some modifications, to both the dialogue and art, the game may ascend beyond its present rank although, given certain aspects, this reviewer remains of the opinion that some delicacies, no matter how sinfully sweet, simply aren't worth the investment.


CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE: Hire an editor to review your script prior to publishing further episodes. Revise what has already been formalized, if possible, to amend the obvious typographical and grammatical mistakes. Consider toning down the effusive compliments with which the protagonist lavishes Mrs. Reigns, one or two is realistic, three is a tad overwhelming and any more seems insincere; attempt this on someone in the real world for an adequate demonstration of how people react to being bombarded with praise, particularly when it concerns such shallow things as one's physical attributes. Cease capitalizing words at random and check that the proper name is displayed during dialogue. Consider modifying your animations to a more fluid, multi-frame nature; resources are available online that demonstrate how to accomplish this along with step-by-step tutorials. Search for "royalty free" music and consider replacing some of the stock tracks with unique ones; the music that plays during numerous erotic sequences, for instance, is also employed by other games of a similar nature.

This is my take on the vn so far it's more like a kn the choices you do get don't go nowhere or lead to game over the aunt get more than the mc and one of the sisters gets more pussy than the mc . Don't get me started on the mc he his nothing more than his moms sex toy she uses him to get herself of while the mc is left blue balled and he meant to be getting it on with all his female members of his family by the time that happens Cyberpunk would of came and gone oh and the blackmailer is obviously Blake. I give this 2 stars because the story is somewhat good update change my rating to 1 cause this dev is a liar always misses dead lines don't support this dev waste of money if you do

You're either here for a good adult story or just plain fapping to scenes. This game will brutally torture you in both these sections.
- The storytelling is lazy and all over the place. ( wait, except there's no story..Its just Mom in house, mom on date, In bathroom, in theatre, gone shopping, gone driving, gone clubbing.. Its the 7th chapter and all we know is someone shot their plane, and is blackmailing the MC).. The game took such an eternity to introduce us to the MC's remaining 2 siblings that honestly at one point I thought the Dev didn't have money to buy the model renders and was just spamming mom content. I could point out numerous other faults but i guess the other reviews before me has pretty much covered it.

Edit: review ed till episode 12 - It seems the dev has no idea how the real world works. Apparently all females in this game are half dead while they sleep, cuz sleep sex is a thing here. Also, WTF, the news channel broadcasts about some celebrity lady giving birth to a baby and the same evening she's screwing some random dude on a yatch out at sea.

I dont like posting bad reviews but this game really deserves one.

Good:
+ The models are pretty nice, especially the mom.

Bad:
- the render quality is average at best and you can see no improvement with new updates
- uses a lot of music known from other games
- the camera positioning especially in hot scenes is terrible
- 2-frame animations... if you don't want to spend time on animations, thats fine, but then don't do 2-frame animations, they suck
- the writing feels like its written by a horny teenager. The MCs way of thought, actions and talk are just plain stupid, only being bested by the conversations/interactions with the mom and the super-weird adoption thing
- nothing original: same yoga scenes, lingerie modelling, blue balling etc. like other games

Few games have made me feel like I have really wasted my times, this is one of them.
If the dev reworked this with better renders, dropped story parts like the weird adoption and researched how actual people talk, then this might become a good game, but I don't see that happening.

Reviewing as of Ep 7.

Hmm not sure how to rate it, there are good things and bad things. The unfortunate thing is that the bad is getting worse and starting to over power the good.

The Good -
Renders
Story (sort of)

The Bad -
Story (yes it is both)
Lack of any real choices in latest episodes
MC is becoming seriously annoying

Just to explain a bit, the story isn't bad or at least it wasn't. I mean we get it he is the son of a mob boss basically and they have enemies that tried to kill them. It was a good start, but since getting home we only have that one blackmailer issue. You would think he would put a lot more time into dealing with it. The thing is I could still forgive all of that except for the way the MC is being.

MC is an idiot and genuinely thinks with his dick. In the last two eps I have found many times I wish I had a choice to his actions. He is almost like a 13-14 year old boy seeing his first porno mag or something. I mean really come on and tone it down a bit. Frankly it is the way the MC is acting that is really bringing down the game as a whole. Get him to start thinking with his actual brain and not his dick all the time will maybe salvage what started off as a good game but is starting to go downhill.

First few eps, were 4 stars but ep 6 and 7 have brought it down to 2 stars.

Played through the entirety of the story in about 5-6 hours, personally I like the story but everyone has different tastes. I can however say that it seems like he's trying to milk it for all it's worth from patreon, there has not been any penetration by the MC whatsoever. One time he got close but was cockblocked, which was not a surprise at all. Game has some potential but it definitely has not come around yet.

This is for up to chapter 7 of this game, he/she really needs to get to work on the sexual stuff. Isn't that the point of a VN?

Models of girls are beautiful, and that's only positive I can say about this game. All game is constant teasing without any development, there is no sex scenes, there is no coherent story... I feel one star is to much.

4GB = Rubbing and BJ..... after [Ep. 7]...... ( I played through in Skip mode in 5 Min... >> 4GB ..... insane... )....

I mean, if the Game had a good Story or a Sex Scene every now and then, or Animations I might have a little more understanding, but it won't work at all.

..the whole Game is total Nonsense, the Story makes ZERO Sense...

- Rendering and Female Characters are alright something good in this Game...

I would like to understand what the Dev. promises from this Game?

Well im write this after part 7.This is actually good game for incest story(mostly focus on Mother and Son).
Here are things i like:
-Beauty models
-Nice background (jungle, road,club) and furniture (like car, chair pool...)
-Nice story(kinda slowly but turn me on so much)
Here are things i hate:
-Main character saying too much compliment for girls and it really annoy(keep repeat about aphrodite and goddess is stupid thing)
-it already part 7 and MC actually dont have sex with any women yet.
-MC some time can only thing with his dick, not so smart.
-Aunt sex scene is pointless for story because no action between her and MC.
And yeah that all, still good game i rate 4*.Hope this game will be more sex scene for MC in next updates or it will fucking boring and die like a wife and mother".
