HTML - The Monastery [v0.12.0.2] [Alcahest]

    This narrative-driven mystery game places you in the role of a priest dispatched to a remote convent to investigate a chilling series of nighttime assaults on the nuns. Set within a secluded monastery shared by both nuns and monks—divided by a literal and symbolic wall—the game explores themes of faith, repression, and hidden sin with a slow-burning intensity that rewards patient, observant players.


    The atmosphere is its strongest asset, with hauntingly quiet halls, candle-lit confessionals, and an ever-present sense of spiritual unease. The ability to interact with both the nuns and monks, as well as visit the School for Young Women and hear confessions from local townsfolk, creates a web of possible suspects and motives that deepens the mystery.


    While the pacing can occasionally drag, particularly during repeated interactions with less relevant characters, the game excels in weaving narrative threads that keep you guessing. Dialogue choices feel meaningful, and your decisions subtly shift the perception of your character within the community.


    This is not a game for action-seekers, but for those who enjoy psychological tension, moral ambiguity, and a slowly unfolding mystery rooted in a convincingly built world. It’s a thoughtful, unsettling experience that lingers long after the final revelation.

    This game manages to do what many games that have real porn fail to do and that is the world building. The writing really makes you believe that you are committing a taboo while playing the game. The forbidden fruit if I may say so. The porn videos selection is also impeccable.

    The only thing I wish this game had more is simply the porn content with some of the upper level characters that's all.

    I loved the game and would recommend it if you want to experience a well written world of debauchery and taboo.

    This game is a masterclass in the unreliable narrator. Unbelievably cohesive writing, and while the story is fairly compelling, the main appeal is watching the internal monologue of your protagonist change over time as you progress through increasingly depraved acts. Culminates in a very obvious divergence in perspective between the player and the character himself which the game leverages to pose questions with good dramatic value. Great vintage europorn aesthetic too. Absolutely fantastic -- possibly the best HTML h-game I've ever played.

    I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for creating such a remarkable and emotionally engaging story-driven game. The amount of detail, passion, and creativity you've poured into every scene is nothing short of inspiring. The characters felt incredibly real, the dialogue was powerful and meaningful, and the entire experience left a deep impression on me. It’s rare to find a game that resonates on both an intellectual and emotional level, and yours did exactly that. Please keep creating — your storytelling talent truly deserves to be celebrated.

    Extremely unique taboo settings. Monastery with a dozens of naive "sheeps" that MC must lead and "protect" .. by fking them of course. Virgins, nuns, catholic students and even confessing wifes, all of them wait for MC help. Story sometimes is too long with too many descriptions, but it's important for the story. After all, you can skip part of this by just not reading like TBH I did. It's a con for me, but amount of turn ons (netori, pregnancy, naive women, mind breaking, etc) cover it enough to give 5/5 for entertaining.

    The only thing that I didn't like was lust/temptation management and if I didn't start using console, it'd reduce my review score. Managing this wasn't hard when I learnt game, but extremely annoying due to delaying events/wasting time sometimes and if game wouldn't have so many nice kinks, I'd most like drop it, because of this system. 5/5 instead 4/5 thanks to knowledge of how to use SugarCube via console ;)

    To my mind, this is the best html game on F95. The porn videos are perfect for the game, unlike most real porn games. But what stands out most for me ks the writing which brings out the hypocracy in the characters with respect to sex. The easy way in which characters engage in self deception in order to engage in a natural act shows the absurdity of Christian, especially Catholic, teachings about sex. My only complaint is the lack of direction to the player about what to do to advance stats, resulting in quite a bit of grind.

    Really awsm plot twist and lewedness the story sometime make me believe that all this is like true real stuff. I am having so much fun with it keep it coming dev u are awsm. It takes a lot of knowledge to make something like this the bible reading its so real that sometimes i question does it really have double meaning but then i rem ohh its just a game. After a very very long time i found a game like this unique keeps u going when i play i always get horny.

    To me, 5stars means that the game doesn't piss me off, the game is what it says it is and I like it enough to check to see if there are updates.

    One of the best HTML games.

    I don't find it too grindy. Grind is doing the same thing over and over again, this game is more of a puzzle. Sure, there's sometimes when there's only one meaningful action in a day that you can do, or you need to give someone a few days, but it's not as bad as other games

    Monastery is one of the few html5 games that managed to keep my attention the whole time. The UI is very great and the mobile responsiveness is top-notch (a pretty rare thing in these kinds of games that is worth mentioning).

    The story, subjects, lore and setting are credible enough (which help reinforce immersion) and the media content quality and choice are incredible, mostly thanks to porn content that goes back to the seventies and eighties where the genre (or kink) kinda peaked.

    Overall an excellent game worthy of your time.

    The game blends investigation and interaction. As you gather clues, interview characters, and solve puzzles, the story unfolds with engaging dialogue and choices that influence the narrative. The immersive atmosphere, coupled with intuitive controls, makes for a compelling experience.

    I feel bad giving games a bad rating, but I think I'll do it in this case. 'The Monastery' isn't bad, but it is quite wordy and grindy. The gimmicks this game use are no good, the harem-aspect isn't interesting because of how under-developed the characters are, the detective story-line quickly deteriorates into going back and forth between different locations.

    If you like the setting, you should try it. If you are indifferent to it, than opt out.

    The Monastery is without question the most engaging porn game I've played. I find that besides the images, of which there are many, I'm very invested in the story. It's hard to say how long it took me to reach the current (v0.802) end of content but it must have been 10+ hours.

    If you are dead set on only playing one game off this site, make sure it's The Monastery.

    amazing game! just try! and donate!

    I was really looking forward to Alcahest's new game especially because I liked their previous work. I was unfortunately quite disappointed so far with this game. While I do like the UI and the general layout of this game, I don't think the content is very engaging.

    The visuals are also quite low quality, but that's more the fault of the real-porn rather than the developer. However there seems to be too much filler going on and not enough guidance to actually get to any of the sex content. This is a porn-game afterall, but I have yet to see any actual scenes aside from a couple of trivial ones after a lot of grinding through scenes. I also wish that there would be some indicator that a location no longer has any new events in it rather than having to click through everything.

    Finally, I feel like this game is more of a VN then sandbox. A lot of choices are one dimensional and the story runs seemingly pretty linearly.

    I will wait for future versions to see if the game gets more engaging, and if so I will edit this review. But for now, I'm personally not a huge fan

    This is an extremely solid game
    In a sea of uninspired bs html games this is the shit.
    You can find an original story told in an original way : there's some nice lore, a mistery in an ancient monastery and catholic nuns!
    There's a fair variety of female models and the clips are coherent with the characters you are interacting with.
    Ui is clean and functional and I never had problems such as bugs, being locked out of content etc
    There are some minigames and most of all you'll have to work balancing your stats to go forward with the main quest.
    You can choose two different types of approach with the nuns : one based on love and another based on authority
    I played the previous title from this Dev and the progress he made with this new one is amazing.
    I'm truly impressed
    Looks like this Dev is genuinely interested in telling us a story at the best of his abilities and he's willing to put some work in it to make it interesting
    Must play

    0.8.0.2
    This is a specific fetish-focused game - nuns + corruption. And it delivers on it's premise.
    There are some discrepancies in realporn used - likely due to limited amount of nun-scenes for each actress - but overall amount of material gathered here is great.
    The biggest flaw of the game is the fact that EXTREMELY useful in-built tips system is locked behind paywall. Completing the game without it might be very annoying.

    God of Debauchery

    This review is for v0.8.0.2

    TLDR: 90% text, 5% banging your head against the wall, 5% actual porn, and way too long and vague to get to anything good.

    So I'm going to start this off by pointing out that I played this for several hours straight before leaving this review (maybe 6 hours) and in that time all I did was repeatedly click on the available locations as I tried to aimlessly figure out what to do to progress the story.
    Fun fact: you literally can't progress the story manually, you have to wait for time to pass by until the game itself decides to progress the game on its own, meaning all you can really do is bang your head against the wall trying to find hidden scenes in quests until the game decides that you get to progress to the point that you actually get to progress quests.

    So gameplay gets a solid 0/5

    Then there's the fact that "veteran detective mode" is repeatedly thrown in your face, but the only way to get access to the code that unlocks this mode that severely reduces the amount of stupidity in the gameplay is by forking over actual money.
    Considering nothing in this game is unique outside of the plot (which has honestly been done to death in smut), that would just be a waste of money as you could get the exact same plot by looking up any kind of nun porn.

    The biggest issue with this game is definitely how much it wants to waste your time, which is why there are so many posts in the comment section just looking for the full saves, because actually playing through the game is an absolute slog.

    I really don't know why this game is rated so highly by so many people when it is mediocre at best, with the best thing about it being that the English is actually legible and it actually does reference legit things that actually exist, so the creator clearly has done their research, and even did a good job of putting the classic Christian closed mindedness, gullibility, and "love for others" into play for multiple of the characters interactions, which really made it feel immersive. The only problem is that there is waaaaay too much text for a porn game about horny nuns.

    So the writing is good, there is just way too much of it, which gets it a 4/5

    The next thing of note is the porn itself, you know, the main reason we're all here.
    It is spread very far apart, with a very slow build up that suddenly jackhammers you straight to blowjobs and fucking married women, then plateaus for way too long with your character no longer gaining additional corruption purely because otherwise you would progress in the "plot" faster than the plot itself wants to keep up with.
    Combine this with the fact that the porn you do get is all very vanilla for the first 6 hours of gameplay and you're going to be more focused on banging your head against the wall trying to progress the intentionally slow story than jacking off.

    So the porn gets a 1/5

    Overall, this feels like a writer wanted to write a story about a "demon" haunting a monastary and needed Constantine to come investigate it, but realized that they needed something else to draw people in since that story has been done to death for hundreds of years, so now we get a very long visual novel with lots of extra steps and very little porn.

    Really good story and actually good English which makes it not a pain to read through it. Can be a bit frustrating without detective mode on due to the clues sometimes being a bit vague and actually requiring thinking or timing, but that is easily solvable.

    v0.7.1.1

    This is a game that I often saw when browsing for something to play, but never tried it because I didn't find the cover girl attractive (spoiler: she's quite appealing, that pic doesn't do her justice).

    I jumped into the game expecting the usual HTML sandbox grind. I'm rather pleased with what I found:

    It's like an interactive porn version of The Name of The Rose: a mystery novel with a good dose of history mixed in. The mystery itself is interesting.

    It features a very clever corruption system: instead of the usual "yay, you though about sex, you gain corruption" nonsense, this game employs a mechanic around sin, and what your character considers sinful is perfectly tied into the plot, so you can be fucking half of the nuns around without gaining corruption until you advance specific quests.

    The quests are the most problematic part: after a while it gets to the point where there are so many sex scenes available that you don't know whether repeating them will make a difference or if you can just ignore them.

    Other times quests will advance after some days. Days that you likely wasted clicking everywhere trying to unlock some new content.

    The first time I had that problem, I ended up cheating to add an extra point of authority, because I didn't know that I had to wait some days, and as I write this, I'm stuck with that problem: I'm not really sure how to unlock more content, and there's so many areas available that it gets a bit overwhelming and tiresome.

    That's my experience after enabling the "patreon eye" - I imagine that this problem is only exacerbated in the vanilla version.

    That's my main complain. Another would be the temptation requirements for scenes: they make sense in context, but it's boring having to click on 2 or 3 random screens to raise your temptation before you can watch content.

    The final thing that I don't like too much is the model selection, but I'm not going to blame the game for not featuring my exact type of woman. I like a few: Julia and Jana, but most aren't my type. Sara looks interesting as well, but I haven't unlocked her content.

    The scene selection is good: it fits the game, and doesn't feel like a random porn gallery like most other games do. The descriptions also match the scenes nicely.

    Perhaps the one problem is that there's plenty of scenes where you're supposedly taking someone's virginity, but the model looks and acts like she eats 10 cocks for breakfast every morning. But that's understandable - it's not like nun porn is some mainstream category with thousands of titles to choose from.

    The UI is very good: the colors work together nicely, and for being a text-heavy game, my eyes never got tired of reading, nor got lost in the middle of a paragraph due to poor spacing.

    Links that add more text autoscroll the window to the new content - this is something that all Twine games should do, but most fail to.

    Same for a map - most time on Twine games is wasted clicking link after link. This game features a map that allows you to travel anywhere with a single click (or two if visiting the monks), and when an area has a single option available, pressing space will "click" it.

    Besides the porn, the game features pictures and (AI?) portraits that complement it quite well.

    All in all, a very good game - really close to a 5. I'm mainly leaving it as a 4 because I don't like clicking every area without nothing new happening, and not knowing how long I need to wait for new content to trigger.

    Really great and adicting game. Love all of it.

    Cool and unique Story.
    Great videos and actresses and many of them.
    Many Kinks and you can choose wich you want and wich not.

    At first I wasnt that hyped cause I am not really in the kink nuns.
    But this is really well made and I am exited to see what comes with the next update.
