We peaked with Treasure of Nadia.
Whelp, turns out, NLT Media stretched themselves too far with this one. The Genesis Order, previewed at the completion of Treasure of Nadia, had me pretty hyped. However I held off from playing the game at all until it was completed, so I didn't end up in the predicament I was in with Treasure of Nadia and needing to restart a fair bit of progress.
If you've been keeping up with the NLT Media universe you'll know more or less what's happening, the sex virus, the war between demons and angels, cursed treasures and the underbelly of crime. Now you're a brand spanking new face, a detective who wants to be a real gumshoe, walking the beat, haver of women kinda guy. He fights power and control, he goes places he really should not, and has sex, lots and lots of sex.
Sadly unlike with the successful sequel to Lust Epidemic, Treasure of Nadia, this sequel pales in comparison. It feels smaller, the puzzles feel dumbed down, the selection of ladies almost feels like discount version of past characters from the NLT universe, and instead of being slightly creepy and dark, the tone of this one is far more slapstick comedy. Seriously, this detective gets walked in on fucking women more times than a husband cheating on his 4th wife. Like, what were the writers obsession with this shtick? It got old after the second time.
Ok, but for as much as I harp on the plot and story being kinda, a let down, the animation has improved. Of course there's visual mods to make it look even better, but I stuck to the OG quality which looked fine enough to me. This does mean sex scenes are pretty, but honestly they all felt so bland. There was no spice, no risk, no rule breaking. This very much felt like a product of Patreon turning into the giant cunts they are currently about incest, rape, and the like. The trickery and fuckery from past titles is all but gone, as all the girls in this want to hop the detective's bone. Consent given!
I'd also like to pick on those puzzles a bit, not the ones on the map, but the angel puzzles. They feel so empty, as they lack any good rewards. The temple puzzles from Treasure of Nadia had good rewards, stuff you could miss out on unless you got them, upgrades for the character, extras, and outfits. Now you buy all the outfits from the store, all the upgrades are found around the world and are locked behind story progression, and all the extras are bought in the sex shop. Laaaaame.
I was also hoping we'd see more of past characters making an appearance, like bumping into the previous protagonist who becomes a great explorer like his old man, but we only meet a couple. The fat kid from Lust Epidemic, the News Reporter from Lust Epidemic, the hot nun demon lady who has been around since Lust Epidemic, the fiery tattoo chick from Treasure of Nadia, and the gullible and naive chick from Treasure of Nadia. But I was hoping we'd see the guy from Summer with Mom and Sis, maybe the aunt and her nephew from Visiting Aunt Sara, and find them in a fun sexual moment like you can with the mom and her son from Treasure of Nadia on the beach. That was fun, hot, and memorable. None of the encounters in this one are.
I really hope their sequel to this one knocks it out of the park, and brings back some of that NLT magic they misplaced during the creation of The Genesis Order. Fingers crossed.
