Price of Power's 25th chapter is ! This concludes the main plot, which will be followed by 5 chapters of epilogue. I've shared my thoughts here.
Hi. Do you still enjoy and recommend this game? The reviews are all over the map. I usually ignore negative reviews about "not enough sex", but in this one the writing and story get a big mix of love and hate. But, you have high standards, so I trust you more than random people :). Thanks.

Yes and no. The characters are good. There is one main Li right from the start, which is refreshing - although there is a harem route as well. And parts of the story are excellent. It can get a little dry and preachy in places though - about the downfall of society, and overconsumption and greed etc. I mean, it places it starts to come off as a lecture complete with power point slides - but if you can make it through that, it's pretty good.

Lustful Sin is a story first hentai game, which is an odd thing but don’t worry, there is a lot of sex – like A LOT. MC is a spirit, accidentally awakened by a curious girl, after 300 years. You don’t really remember how you got locked away. Your family (which basically represents the deadly sins – greed, sloth, envy etc) had sent you to watch over the youngest member of the group – Wrath, in a rural village in Japan. Something happened, the villagers were dying, people were becoming angry and you got locked away. Now you’re awake, the world has changed and Wrath is missing.

Back in the day, the villagers blamed you and Wrath for what was happening and you can’t even be sure they were wrong. Now you’re on a mission, with the help of a group of young women and the kitsune who guards the local shrine, to find out what happened to the old village and where Wrath is.

MC, if you weren’t able to guess, is the spirit of lust. You amplify the lust of those around you and gain power from it. You can control and have sex with just about anyone in the game (eventually) but unless they are a spirit too they either won’t remember or will remember it as a kind of vivid (but extremely positive) dream. And the more you have sex with them, the more their lust and corruption grow.

It is, very much, a harem game even though there is only really one Li – your partner/spouse (A spirit but also a corporate CEO – Greed) but sexual content with her is minimal so far. She knows what you are, she has no issue with you spending all day fucking whoever but she and the other members of your family are resistant to your ability. As for the mortals – there are 4 main girls, a sort of second tier of about 10 side girls – who are important characters, but just aren’t as present in the story and then about … 60-80? (including 8-10 characters from other games – used with permission) other women who are really just there for you to fuck. Although, the sex, it has to be said is pretty vanilla most of the time and it is a sandbox game. But that means if you have some down time where you don’t know what to do, or you’re up to date on the new content, you can go out and have sex with any of upwards of 100 women – frequently in groups.

So while there is a LOT of sex in the game, it is actually part of the story and the main story is a good one.

Game is here.

Honestly price of power is love hate relationship for me. The first 12 or so chapters with the slow burn romance is perfect. Then from there it goes from boring to exciting.

Tho I do dislike the forced pregnancy even tho I knew it was coming I hated when it happened as I didn't feel like it was the right time for it because I felt like they were still at risk of being in danger. Even tho I get the why it needed to be done there and not wait. That was the last update I played waiting for the last epilogue to be finished first to finish the game. Also the power point presentations made me sleepy.

I played till the end of the main story and I really liked it! As with most VNs, harem was a very stupid idea. It didn't fit narratively, so I avoided it. I stopped at the end of the last proper chapter because the dev said the next 5 will be epilogues of cutesy romance shenanigans, and I don't care about that.
