The Genesis Order by NLT: Lightning Failed to Strike the Same Place Twice


Once again, NLT blesses us with a new installment in his series—a testament to his undeniable talent, no doubt. This game features a compelling story, breathtaking art, and a hook that stubbornly refuses to let go. I’ve long been an admirer of NLT’s work, and this effort, while undeniably polished, leaves me with a sense of familiarity—like a story that feels comfortably predictable.


The Lightning Failed to Strike the Same Place Twice includes many strong elements: a solid foundation, smooth storytelling, and well-crafted visuals. Yet, it feels as though it’s missing something essential—a spark of originality or daring experimentation. It seems content to stay within its established boundaries, which results in a somewhat safe experience that doesn’t challenge or surprise the player as much as it could.


What does this game deliver?

• Stunning visuals
• A captivating narrative
• Well-crafted scenes

What’s lacking?

• Interactivity that encourages exploration
• More Lewd scenes/Spice
• Pacing that keeps the player engaged without feeling stagnant or rushed

Overall, The Genesis Order is a commendable effort and a testament to NLT’s skill as a creator. However, it falls into the realm of the ‘sophomore slump’—good but not groundbreaking. It’s a reminder that even talented creators can sometimes produce works that feel safe rather than innovative.

This game is very much a showcase of 'Suffering from Success'.
NLT, has been working on games and has been getting much better with every instalment. His previous game (ToN) is probably the best (or inthe top 5) games on this site. But this game marks the beginning of the end in his work.

Whilst Genesis Order keeps the amazing quality of art as well as a clear passion for worldbuilding, it all comes accross as stale and boring when compared to their previous works.

NLT has made their games as 'Safe' as possible, clearly a move to ensure that it won't get taken off platforms such as Steam or Patreon, but it ends up making the game feel empty. Once you become aware of it, its hard to unsee it. Whist their first games revolved around incest, this game and their latest (SotS) seem to go much more down the 'Family Friends' rather than anything taboo. The fact that it is such a Harem game, that even though it will bring girls back from previous games, it won't ever have the new protaganist sleep with them as they are basically 'locked' to their own man.

The games are very well made. Compared to most games on this site, this is still in a league of its own. Buts its closer to playing a modern AAA game when everything else is Indie, it will look better, it will be bigger but you simply won't see the heart put into it.

I would never say not to play this game. It would feel wrong to rate this anything lower than a 4, since it is so well made. But do go in knowing what you are getting yourself into.

Good
-Great animations as usual, but maybe a bit outdated now, was amazing in ToN, but now it doesnt feel as good
-Some nice voice acting
-Some very hot characters, especially I liked Andrea, Lillian, Melissa, Judy
-Really sexy clothes in the booty calls, and some great sex scenes in them

OK
-There is a guide to tell you what to do, but sometimes it is a bit too vague and I did have to search a youtube guide a couple times
-The dialogue is whatever, sometimes I just skip through some parts cos its too boring
-Some of the new characters are great, but some are not very well written like Hannah, shes a bit too retarded, at least she is hot

Bad
-I wish the scenes had more 'lewdness', as in more scenes with sexy clothes rather than 90% fully nude - I know the booty calls has this, but I wish more of the main story orgies had girls wearing sexy clothes. Also I wish there were more kinks, such as rimming the MC, so many girls and orgies but no one giving the detective a little love?
-The story is very disjointed, as another reviewer mentioned, you go from being about to bust open a huge crime case in the city to then going to a pool party the next second. The characters are sometimes a bit too retarded as well, like the number of times you just let the bad guys get away just for the sake of plot progression
-The incest isnt very well done, the point of that genre/kink imo is that it is taboo, but eveyrone just kinda treats it as normal in this game

Overall
I probably would still recommend it as the scenes are still high quality, but I would play the previous game first. Or maybe just download a full save cos the story isnt that worth it

A memorable and enjoyable game for both its gameplay and its rewarding art. The scenes are a mix of replayable and story-tied events which are the best of both worlds in my opinion, having a nice option to satisfy ones interest in a character while not being a system separate from the gameplay itself. Great writing and build up as well as a story itself.

Crazy how it gets to a point where you can feel there is too much sex, lol, the story is nice overall, the characters feel more mature, which is nice, and yea, it's kinky as hell.

Bonus points for being able to tell what you need to do most of the time so you can play with only half a brain on.

I guess I've started to realize that while nlt art work tends to be peak.
The game, sandbox aside, is actually kinetic. Didn't realize that but now that i thought about it and thought about how i get no choice if I don't care for anal, it's kinetic.

I was surprised to run into a few scenes where the art was quite grainy considering i downloaded the official version. Considering the previous standard..... That's dissapointing and a downgrade for nlt.

Hannah hella annoying

So far, the games have been fairly consistent. The series starting with LEpidem (trying to provide no reason to justify this being taken down. If you're new, mentioning another game's name is against the rules), are about supernatural entities warping catholicism to cults and thesecults the bad guys, half of the bad guys.
Mods, if you'll say this is against the rules to talk about religion. That can't be right. I'm talking about what is in the game. I'm talking about game content.

This one matches. However it seems to bring in a non cult version as well, but to mock as ignorant, gullible and more.
I'm not going to say anything about mebettadanyou because that's a bunch of baloney.
I'm just here to say this crosses a line that wasn't crossed before and should not be crossed. And since I have no interest in forcing others to do what i want (as if my will made their life match a kinetic game), this will be the last nlt game i play. Y'all do you. It's still pretty good. But if i draw my own lines, i should not cross them.

I played lust epidemic and treasure of nadia before this. Maybe the gameplay loop was fresher then, but I feel like while the renders get better, the gameplay and story gets worse with each iteration.

The good:

• Good art, attractive characters, good animations.
• Acquiring items and unlocking more of the map feels rewarding.

The bad:

• There is so much exposition and boring dialog I stopped reading after a few hours. Maybe the story makes sense, but I stopped caring. It is also not necessary for gameplay.
• The characters are not compelling at all. They are almost all porn caricatures. There is no sense of progression, character development, or build up, there is no corruption, and the scenes you unlock later are just different variations of group sex.
• The animations are good, but the sex scenes are boring. They start out in nonsensical or contrived ways and are book-ended with boring exposition and dialog. Pretty much all of them goes the same way: dick in, girl cums with a water splash animation, guy pulls out and cums on girl. Only variation being which girl, how many girls, and which hole. In the end, I just skip through this in order to get to the fun part of actually exploring the map.
• The story beats are terrible. You rely almost entirely on hints to advance the story. Thinking about the next steps in the investigation of the demon cult mystery? Better skip work to have a pool party with your incest family and do a bunch of fetch and crafting quests first.
• The item and map unlocks are completely arbitrary and do not relate to the themes of the game at all. You're never free to explore. It is always stupid plot -> unlock -> more stupid plot. Oh you need strength to move this rock? Your character is unable to train by himself at the gym, and can only increase his strength through plot. You need some tool to remove some obstacle? You won't find the tool at the store or the parts to craft the tool until the plot allows you to.
• The game is not immersive. Time doesn't pass unless the story allows it to. Scenes available during booty call don't unlock based on any sort of relationship level, but by you opening random chests on the map. Your character cannot jump without jumping shoes. You cannot get basic, everyday items without the story unlock and magical crafting.

TL;DR: porn plot with porn logic and porn characters. Boring dialog, boring sex, guy almost always cums on girl. Almost no creampie.

While it can be quite long and windy, this game is high quality and interesting. The gameplay while not unbelievable is quite interesting and some of the puzzles are a delight. While I hoped for slightly more freedom and harder puzzle possibilities that could have come from that, the game was satisfying to play through

This is my first disappointment in adult games. At first I didn't believe all bad reviews but indeed they turned out to be truthful. I am a fan of LE and ToN and comparing to them TGO is trash.
1. Can't say much about plot. It is there, a bit boring and worse than in ToN

2. I personally dislike the maid girl and the nun. They are useless after the 1st third of the game and are unappealing.

3. Most other characters are dull and poorly written. Unlike in ToN here I didn't care about the LIs.

4. With the great number of sex scenes comes the repeatability and lack of imagination from the authors. From time to time I had to skip boring sex scenes in order to return to plot.

5. No sense of achievement that you conquered the girl because she is eager to have sex almost since your first meeting.

6. Awful dialogues which drove me mad. Constant unbearable repetitions of phrases "You're so tight" and "So good" during sex.

7. Lastly, that's not really a drawback but rather a personal attitude:
By the 3rd game I got sick of how vanilla sex in NLT is:
Each LI is an absolute virgin even milfs and actual moms. The girls always squirt after sex and the MC always cums after them. His cumshots are always excessive as if he has been saving for weeks.
There is a sex virus in the world, females are obsessed with sex, yet it concerns only the MC since the girls jump only on his cock and not on random guys from the streets. Like always the MC is the only guy with a dick in the world.

1 extra star is for good models, sex scenes and animations.

And of course I have to give credit to NLT. They manage to produce good amount of content delivering it in time according to the timetable twice a month.

Enjoyed it
the game was fun,
animation is excellent detailed smooth, mini games are fun
recommend to play also played treasure of Nadia kinda hard to compare it as you know first one was a masterpiece

I've never written a review but this game is so exceptionally awful that it must be done. The MC is totally unlikable, the story is shit, and you will be railroaded constantly. Do not play this game unless you enjoy predictable story beats and a narrative that has zero substance. Total waste of time.

TLDR;
This is a porn game where I was actively cheering for the MC to never have sex again because he is as pathetic as he is incompetent.

---

The MC is the most cocky fool on the planet, but does not back it up at all. He constantly asks like he is 14 years old while talking about how he can't relate to another character because he 'grew up' and she did not. He constantly lies to his boss and doesn't do his actual job while complaining that she never listen to him and that he is a great detective. He can't manage to keep his mouth shut about his cases (that aren't even his, because, again, he isn't doing his actual job). He constantly acts like he is the best thing in the world, but balks when a women wants to fuck him. MC is all flaws and no good qualities. Our character should be a balance (he also thinks completely with his dick 100% of the time, but we can forgive that one considering the game), but the writers of this game have no idea what balance is. Let me give them a hint. It is not "Say he has good qualities, but only have him act on the bad ones."

If you can ignore 99% of what the MC says, he sex is good, the other characters are fun, and the plot is a good time. The gameplay is what you expect from the devs. Be prepared to use the in game hints a lot.

*edit* Fucking Christ. Dropping this from three to two based entirely on the MC being even worse than I thought. He literally assaults his boss, yells at his boss, and is in general someone how would be not only fired, but blackballed at best, or in jail at worst. Of course they still fuck because the writer of this game is an incel red piller. I can't think of anyone else who would think this MC isn't the worst person in any game these devs have created. Still no redeeming qualities, and he is even worse at his job than I previously thought.

I love this game because the puzzle element of this game is really fun! I would probably play this game if there were no lewd elements in it! And that's why I like to play this game when I get bored with typical renpy dating sims. It's so refreshing! :3 As for the lewd scenes, in the first quarter of the game I always felt they could be better, and bang! They're actually starting to get really nice, around the 25% mark! (so wait for it if you're someone who is not satisfied with the quality of lewd scenes <3)

The same evaluation I made for Nadia applies to Genesis Order, also because the games are practically identical and follow the continuation of the same story. What I like about NTL is that it respects the players by creating each chapter with a story that begins and ends. The players are not left with a story in the middle and you can easily start from the chapter you want. Recommended product.

Genesis Order is the third game in the NLT Media game series and its the best one yet. Many great sex scenes, some of the best for any porn game. The story was intriguing with always something interesting happening. The characters are pretty one dimensional, it's not a deep game, but the love interests are still interesting. I liked the protagonist, William, more than I did Brad and Henry from the previous games; he is more mature and serious.

Now this is a 10/10 game for me, but there is one major bad part to this game, and I think it's the reason why Genesis Order has a lower score on this site compared to Treasure of Nadia and Lust Epidemic. The gameplay is slightly different from previous games, much less intuitive and more akin to point 'n click games where you are constantly stuck and backtracking to find out how to progress the story. I like playing with a guide, but I can see how going in blind would be frustrating. An example: to get the final cutscene you need to get all collectibles, and some of them are hidden behind invisible walls you would never think to look behind.

Overall its one of the best porn games out there, but the gameplay drags it down, even though the previous games had fun gameplay.

The Genesis Order is a great game, it had everything to be a 5-star game like its predecessor, but the gameplay and the inconsistency of the protagonist and the story are the worst aspects of this game.

STORY 4/5:
The story consists of a detective (MC) who investigates the death of a rich man, which then extends to the investigation of the Eclipse Guild and Madelyn (the antagonists of ToN). The story has many inconsistencies, but it has its good side.
POSITIVE:
• The relationships are more direct and realistic. In some cases, if the girl and the protagonist are attracted to each other, they will have sex without any provocation or "crumbs of sex", of course, there is still that, but it is with specific girls.
• The story is MUCH longer than ToN.
• It has depth because of ToN, which makes the story richer.
• Has interaction with Henry, Diana and Tasha (ToN characters)

INCONSISTENCIES:
• The protagonist is 27 years old, but he is treated like a teenager and he acts like one;
• He is portrayed as a strong and muscular guy, but he can't climb a wall, push a block of hay or lift a small stone without having to invent something extraordinary to do so;
• He is also portrayed as a great detective, but he can never keep his mouth shut and right at the beginning, all the girls and characters already knew what he was investigating;

GAMEPLAY 1/5:
The gameplay is the same as ToN, only more linear and with more grind. There is absolutely nothing good about the gameplay.
• The protagonist can't DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING without having to create an item or something extraordinary, for example: the girls made a mess in the kitchen? You have to create a cleaning product to help them, then you go there to collect items that are annoying to find.
Spiders upstairs? You have to create something to kill them. Then you go to the city to hunt for these items that are hard to find. And this cycle repeats itself throughout the ENTIRE GAME! I barely got 2% of the way through the game and I already find myself frustrated with this. In the previous game, this was very cleverly integrated and was part of the game's theme, but in TGO, this is TOO MUCH!
• In the previous game, there were MUCH MORE PUZZLES, but in this game, which has a detective theme, there are almost none.
• Repetition of the treasure collection mechanics, as in the previous game, has nothing to do with the theme of this game.

PROTAGONIST 3/5:
In terms of personality, he is the same as Henry from ToN, nothing special. However, the negative points are his previously mentioned inconsistencies.

CHARACTERS 5/5:
The girls and other characters are all realistic, diverse, with different personalities and if we take away the disgusting grind of this game, they are interesting to interact with and what brings depth is the previous game.

SEX SCENES/GRAPHICS 5/5:
The graphics and sex scenes of this game are excellent and of a very high level, NLT knows how to do an excellent job in these parts.

SETTING 5/5:
The city is well made, detailed, every corner has its details, and there are also small missions that can be done, along with secrets and collectibles.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
I definitely recommend it.
However, you'll have to REALLY like this style of gameplay, otherwise you'll get bored of it quickly.

The game has great graphics, that's the only redeeming quality.
The characters are shallow, they jump into bed without any build up.
There's no game play other than just moving between 6--7 locations and watching the scenes.
It's in essence a VN disguised as a game.
And to top it off, they choose to put HORRENDOUS mini-games that can't be skipped and can't be passed with less than stellar vision. (The shooting gallery specifically )
You play until a certain point and cannot proceed.
Never again.

This one is honestly kind of ehhhh, but my issues with it are entirely personal preference. Objectively its very good.

This comes from a series of exceptional games, (all of which I have purchased on steam) so my review will largely be addressing where I felt the game fell short in terms of series expectations, so if I come across as excessively negative I apologize.

From a technical standpoint the game is great. It runs well and I experienced no major bugs, it was a very solidly built game.

Content wise... I'm not as keen. I don't like church stuff, at least when it comes to erotic or story content, and while this game actually has very little to do with real world Christianity, the superficial presentation of its content are all very much catholic themed. You've got nuns and priests and a lot of your time is spent inside a gothic church discussing demons, sins and the comparative ethics of angels versus demons. I found it boring.

In addition, this game's atmosphere is quite dreary, you spend most of the game in oppressive environments - churches, gothic mansions, old gnarled woods, swamps, caves, hell, etc. While not a series first, it was certainly less fun.

Character wise this is one of the weakest. The MC looks like he's in his mid to late 30's, and sometimes the way he's depicted gives him a really weird uncanny valley look. I dont remember ever thinking he looked good, usually he looked sort of neutral and in some cases very ugly.
The girls were also a mixed bag, while we have some of the most attractive girls in the series, we also got Nellie who looks like she smells like stale cigarette smoke.

The writing was also weaker in general. The author was clearly focused on the plot, but the individual character writing suffered as a result. Very little of the writing was dedicated to the inherent drama or weirdness of what was happening to the characters on a personal level. Relationships just sorta jumped forward without any real build up or flow, and almost none of the characters talked to each other about what the dramatic shifts in their relationships meant for them going forward. In fact most of the relationships werent very romantic at all, I'd say only 2 really had any sort of real romance behind them and even then it was pretty weak. The complete lack of dramatic or romantic tension left the eventual sex scenes feeling meaningless and empty. This was almost more like a casual sex simulator than a harem game. Significant portions of the female cast dont even stick around after the game is over.

For a game with its origins in relationship based harem and pregnancy endings I found this game to be a disappointing deviation.

P.S - oh god I forgot about the minigames, the minigames were awful. That shooting minigame was just terrible, where it showed the target had almost no relationship to where the hit box actually was. and the imps THE IMPS, ffs those mf's were so janky that even with knowing the solution I ended up having to spend hours and hours on those puzzles, purely due to the blue imps not taking my inputs.

The Genesis Order is a thrilling blend of mystery, adventure, and romance, packed with stunning visuals and an engaging storyline. The characters are well-developed, and the puzzles keep you hooked. The immersive world and captivating plot twists make it a must-play for fans of the genre!
