Wow. That is one trippy game. Weird, nonsensical, disgusting and hilarious. All at the same time. Can't decide if I'm relieved there is not going to be more or if I for some morbid reason want to know where this would have gone.
Speaking of trippy, someone should make an AVN version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Back when Johnny depp made some actual good movies... And as weird as it may sound. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of the more realistic drug movies out there..
As for "drug AVN's". I don't think someone could pull that off. You'd need an actual artistic approach for something like this. All those games would likely turn out like The curse of joy did . Although I will say that i do prefer a game like this over alot of the boring, copycat games out there.. But then again, there are probably better things to waste your time with than reading things like The curse of joy
And since Larry Clark got mentioned here. Bully was pretty good i thought
I'm glad I did=) What an awesome AVN, movielike, romance story this is/was. I think in this case the romance tag is indeed deserved here and not just some randomly attached thing. I'll admit that I was a little suprised when the story took a turn in chapter 12. The game already has quite a huge amount of content up to this point and now it feels like the story has barely even started yet which I found a bit odd. "Many" new characters have been introduced and I feel like there'll be a lot more to come in the future. This and the prospect of the game turning into a harem isn't all that appealing to be honest. Why?. Because of the way it's written so far. Maria is described as being pretty possesive when it comes to MC. They're written like they're soulmates and they've waited basically their entire live to be together. As i already mentioned you spend hours and hours with the both of them and now all the sudden you get the option to turn the game into a harem... Odd choice imo
The thing with a harem is that you'll always end up dumbing down all your characters in the process. It's unavoidable imo. No matter how well it's written. No matter how wholesome you go about it. No matter how special you think your idea about that subject matter is. You'll always end up degrading the whole cast which is especially painful in this case with all the setup the game has had with the MC & Maria. Why do we even spend so much time with these 2 characters in the first place when the game goes into such a drastically different direction later on?.
All of this raises up the question, for me at least, if it wouldn't be a better idea to simply make a full on sequel with a new MC and a new cast focussing on the southlands portion of the game. That's a question i can't really answer of course because we don't know about the importance of the MC & Maria in regard to the rest of the story and how essential they ultimately are. Not to mention the whole story arc about the AI's... Only time will tell I guess.. Of course this is the developer his/her game and he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it, but it's still a bit sad to witness something like this happening imo in this kind of game.
So all in all a pretty knowledgeable & well written AVN with a pretty unique storyline. Worth a read for sure (as of now at least)
I guess there was only one scene who threw me off a little. Which is this one
Shockingly dark skin, like what?where?. Is there some other person in the background?. Just to make sure, we're talking about the woman on the left here
. So let's pretend for a second that they all don't know about the existence of people with darker skin. Would that be an appropriate reaction? What will happen when they come across someone with truly dark skin? Will they drop dead on the spot? Very odd scene if you ask me.. Might be unintentional, but things like this always make me raise my eyebrowes a little..
I came across something similiar recently which was this
So I tried Colour of My Sound since it was on my list for a while and I just had nothing better to do and, man, am I conflicted.
The worldbuilding is very solid, it manages to be believable without overloading you with 10000 details like amateurs are prone to. Main story, however, seems so far to get off on it's own convolution while simultaneously missing plot holes of various sizes. More importantly, the author seems to mistake angst for substance which leads to the absolute worst type of protagonist, a tortured passive edgelord that the plot just happens to. It doesn't help that he seems to be surrounded by adolescents seemingly hand picked into this "elite" outfit for how immature they are. Short of massive conspiracy to set up all these grossly unfit for duty people, I see no justification for the entire thing to even get off the ground. That's on top of the whole "checks and balances" thing getting really old really fast, if the game fails to establish the good and bad sides. Relative morality still has to be relative to something.
Sadly a very common trope in these anime inspired games. Niichan's games are particularly annoying with this. I never could get past the first 30 minutes or so.
That's on top of the whole "checks and balances" thing getting really old really fast, if the game fails to establish the good and bad sides. Relative morality still has to be relative to something.
This is my main complaint about A Father's Sins where the MC and his gang are allegedly fighting for the moral middle but only the bad side is ever established. The good side only exists in theory, just so the gang can claim some nebulous neutrality.
I just finished the new Summer's Gone update. It's not really new, just a chapter 2 re-do and, for me, the most important thing, Ocean had to change some songs. For me this was an example of how much music helps to tell stories. I really miss old music like "
Arabella is an erotic novel written by an anonymous author in 1890.
The novel follows Arabella, the titular character, as she embarks on a journey of sexual discovery and exploration.
Set in Victorian England, the book explores the taboo subjects of sexuality and desire in a time when such topics were not openly discussed.
Arabella's experiences range from seduction and bondage to group sex and exhibitionism, making the novel a steamy and provocative read.
Despite being written over a century ago, Arabella remains a classic of erotica and continues to be popular with readers today.
So far, I'm really enjoying it. Whimsical 19th century writing is a pleasure to read. Here's a passage from a rather posh sex party:
Perhaps I should say also that these were country gentry whose morals had altered not a wit from those of their immediate forebears. They preserved their traditions. If a young woman was to be 'trodden', it was accepted that she should be. She was expected to return the virile salute of the lusty penis with the same passion that it was accorded her. Many afair bottom have I seen wriggling for the first time on a manly piston while murmurs of encouragement spurred its flushed possessor on.
We are a developer studio making a game called Final Orginity, We always say that we're first and foremost writers and we take care of the art and the story.
Only downside for your criteria is that the game is still in developement and so the story is not complete as of now, but we have already gotten positive comments about the writing.
(Final orginity is also free to download, though support is really apreciated)
Yep, the plot thickens. Or should I rather say, slowly comes to an end?. The last 3 or so chapters have been really strong in my opinion and i'm curious to see how it ends. It's funny though, I just realized that there's a gallery for all the lewd scenes in the game.. And I was thinking to myself that I must've done something fundamentally wrong so far because I didn't stumble across any of them other than Steph at the very beginning. Generally speaking I did let the female MC go after Mali, but again I must have done something wrong. It's not important because this story works perfectly well even without some sexytimes in between
I wanted to bring up another game here real quick even though it doesn't really fit here since it's a, more or less, full on porn game
Love, Honor, Betray
I think this is worth a mention because it did something what the AVN Elite garden, in my mind at least, also did. Which is taking a slightly different spin on something you've seen a thousand times before already. Here you play a married female MC who doesn't get the attention she needs from her husband and goes out there to "explore" other options (or not). This one has all the typical ingredients you'd expect to see from that kind of setup. Yoga, blackmail, obscure neighbour who's ogling her climbing up a ladder, a nurse intern masturbating to the thought of her in a toilet stall after being teased by the MC.. You name it and it's all there. Doesn't sound all that interestinng at first glance, does it?. But here it's about how it's done and how it's written.
The MC is, how should I describe her, cute?, adorable?. I'm not even sure how to describe her to be honest. There's this certain level of genuity about her which I think works very well here and ends up carrying the whole thing. Well, she's also a pretty needy girl, but in a cute/tasteful kind of way. In my run I played her as being sexual active with her husband right from the beginning while also exploring her bi sexual side along the way.
About the husband though. Normally in a game like this the game makes it pretty easy for the player to straight up cheat on him. Either he's an asshole right from the get go or he cheats on her or wahtever it is. In this game, if you go along with him from the beginning, he's neither of all of that. He's neglecting her a little, sure. He also doesn't have much time for her due to his job. But it's never really straight forward when it comes to him which I thought was interesting.
As for the blackmail portion of the story. Of course you immediately start to think "Alright, here we go". "Forced gangbangs, being forced sucking off some coma patients or whatever..." But that's not quite how this goes down. Seems more like a story angle so far rather than what you'd typically associate with blackmail in AVN's (could be wrong here though)
The game's overall pretty light hearted i'd say. Not creepily wholesome... light hearted. Which brings me to the most important part, since this is a porn game, which are the lewd sences. I did play the lesbian/bi route and it's really well done here imo. Lots of emphasis on teasing so far and even some slight hints of eroticism here and there
. One of the first scenes you have is with the MC being on her knees infront of another woman, eating her out. After she's done the woman just leaves, leaving the MC all horny and wanting more behind. There are a couple of those scenes in the game which I think is pretty awesome. Combine that with how needy the MC is. It's perfect . She always seems so invested when other women are involved..anticipating what comes next... Again, it's cute . But here it's not just the lesbain scenes. Later in the game there's a, how I would call it, "sex & the city" type of scenario. With the MC meeting up with 2 of her besties and they exchange their recent sexcapades. One of them is a straight scene. And it's written more like a woman sex fantasy rather than your typical guy fantasy... Kinda remarkable to be honest. But yeah, can't pass up on teasing, lesbian scenes of course You don't see that kind of stuff all that often. Teasing in general is just criminally underused in AVN's in my opinion. Why that is? no clue... If i'd make an AVN i'd put tons of that into the game, driving everyone totaly insane, including the reader
Well, I think it's also worth pointing out that this ain't your typical AVN (so far) where you chase after some LI's. Which I thought made for a nice change of pace.
So all in all, I thought this was really well done for what it is . Good renders, fitting music, good writing. The whole vibe of it.. If i could make one, single suggestion for the game then i'd let the MC confess to her husband that she's bi sexuall at some point.
Love, Honor, Betray

Indeed. Eroticism in general is profoundly lacking in most AVNs. More often than not, they just go straight to smashing their bits together which is just boring for me :/
Me 2=) I mean, that's one of the perks of writing about femdom i guess. Tease and denial is like one of the cornerstones of it . No idea why it's not being used on this site at all. AVN femdom games are very weird for whatever reason. Ok, maybe not weird, but very one sided for sure.
As for Jessica o Neil. I didn't even know about the existence of it until now .. So i guess i'm gonna check this one out next and compare

I have to admit that I found a bug with Mali that made her harder to romance than intended. It was possible, but really hard. I can't remember if I fixed it in Ep4 or Ep5, but it's definitely fixed now. The basic issue was that you didn't get "credit" for talking to her a 3rd time, so if you have a save before that conversation, you could pick it up from there. Sorry!
(Assuming, of course, that you're romancing Mali with the lesbian MC. Mali isn't interested in the straight female MC.)
Still I'm going to plug Blood Biter Beatdown for a moment. It's a game in a grindhouse style and leans heavily into its trashy aesthetic, so turn the sound on. It has action movie style choreographic tactical battles. And a B&B owner who swings with her guests.
I'll write more once I'm done with it, but thanks for plugging this one. I've barely started and can't stop grinning stupidly. BB is cool, trashy and awesome, and I kind of want to name my next dog Bazooka despite the inevitable disappointment
EDIT: All done. I liked it! Yes, it has femdom/lezdom vibes but isn't quite that. I also really liked Bonnie and did not care for Bridgit.
I have a bit of a question regarding story-first games that are also realistic Femdom.
I've been talking to my housemate (actually my first ex-wife) about the games and my own plans. She spent many years as a professional Lifestyle Domme, and was wondering how much demand there is for accurate Femdom stories as part of consensual BDSM practices. if she feels there is enough interest in such stories, I will work with her to publish stories she will write (She's also written erotica). She'd be dealing with Kink where consent is key.
The Femdom fandom is so varied, I don't know whom to trust. I figured, since they will be story centered, this was a good place to start. Any thoughts?
EDIT: She just read my post and corrected my wording, even though she was a Domme for many years and respected in a number of communities, she's not professional because she never got paid. Mea Culpa...
I enjoy real life femdom. I'd love to see it accurately represented in games, but I've been disappointed with previous efforts. There are a few games on F95 that are supposedly all about femdom, but they all have nonsensical storylines and primarily revolve around slave-ish abuse, and not in a kinky way.
Ultimately, it all depends on what your housemate wants to write. For sweet and romantic femdom that also emphasizes consent, scene planning and aftercare, I'd say Sunstone is the gold standard. It's a comic, not a game, but it should provide plenty of inspiration. This is probably the best approach for attracting a wide audience.
If she intends to write something more kink heavy, then maybe she could focus on a story revolving around BDSM clubs or fetish events? Think
You must be registered to see the links
. For a professional domme, this might be more in her wheelhouse but the audience would naturally be smaller.
Thanks! I will share this information with her. At least you sound like you might be interested in her approach.
I was already going to include some Kink content in my contemporary story, but she's had many more years and more intense experience with the community.
Re: Sunstone--I've come across a LOT of that artwork over the years.
That's a tough one for sure=) That kind of story could only work , in my mind at least, in a more intimate scenario. Probably only involving 2 people at first (Dom+sub). A story where you follow the MC's journey into submission. How it begins and how it develops over time.. Something like that. A bit more of a grounded story where you flesh out all the expects about what makes femdom so appealing for the people who're into it. Highlighting the domination and the submission aspect of it.
Preferably without shock collars
Mistress - "Lick my feet slave!"
Slave - "No!"
Mistress - "Excuse me?" (activates shock collar level 8)
Slave - "Fuck, stop it please, stop"
Mistress - "Then stop being a little bitch about it and do as i say!. Lick my fucking feet!"
Slave - "I..i..i, fuck. Mercy please"
Mistress - "I'm running out of patience over here. So what will it be slave?"
Slave - "I..i..i"
Mistress - "What?. Did a cat bite your tongue?. Are you stupid?. Answer me!"
Slave - "I..i..i"
Mistress - "Alright, thats it!" (activates shock collar level 10)
Slave - "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
................................
Mistress - "Hmm, looks like i've fried his puny little brain this time...."
Mistress - "Whatever, off to the next one.. Got a couple more of those losers downstairs in the basement...
I second the Sunstone suggestion. One of the reasons I've never done anything significant with BSDM in my games is that I could never hold a candle to Sunstone. The amount of storytelling skill that went into that was amazing.
. Although I will say that i do prefer a game like this over alot of the boring, copycat games out there.. But then again, there are probably better things to waste your time with than reading things like The curse of joy
