Unity - Third Crisis Neon Nights [v0.1.1 Patreon] [Anduo Games]

Can't wait to see more from this developer. This game looks phenomenal and it's game prior (Third Crisis) is very awesome and packed with plenty to do and plenty to see so I hope that this one can even top that (if that's possible.)

Amazing! Fantastic art, animations and PixieWillow's voice acting brings Zoey to life. Look forward to the full release.

Guy on guy stuff is turned up for some reason, needs the option to skip.

They are using the same ganky save system as the first game but that's a nitpick.

Pretty good so far.

Pros:
The art is awesome and gives it good atmosphere.
The VA sounds amazing for each character.
The gameplay isn't a chore which is rare. Appreciated the multiple ways you can go about the 'get upstairs' objective.

Cons:
The writing for the MC comes across as this very dumb and stereotypical "Nnngh a di*k! Oh my god I shouldn't look!... But I'm just taking a peek... Right?" in places.
Personally not huge on the overload of guy-guy stuff.

This is it. Third Crisis is one of my all time favourite adult games, and I'm not alone with that opinion, seeing a newer and *technically* better version of the games makes me so excited. Anduo Games have some of the highest production value I have ever seen on this site and that's saying alot, I really hope they continue with this style.

The game so far is perfect, if you're a fan of the tags go ahead and play it right now. One thing I really wish they'd add is pubic hair options but that's a personal thing.

Super excited for future updates!

This is only v0.1 and its already S tier, holy shit.

TLDR - It is the best feeling to see that the devs (including creatives!) on a previous project have earnestly listened to the feedback/criticism received on their earlier efforts. Its quite clear that they have made *serious* efforts to address the the downsides of Third Crisis in this Neon Nights Prequel. This is apparent even at the level of this v0.1 demo release. I was so impressed, I immediately subbed to their Patreon. I don't often write reviews either, but here I am.

THE PREVIOUS GAME:
To me, their first game felt like a solid assemblage of typical h-game tropes. Well done enough, but nothing really new. Also, toward the end, the main plotline became angsty/emo, which really nerfed the hot. I don't play an h-game to experience the fictional character's relationship trauma.

THIS GAME:
This new game, Neon Lights, just hits the ground running. Leverage of the Unity engine is superb. Graphics, audio, ambience, all already hitting the right notes. There's a cohesion to the game's UI/UX, aesthetic, and story that just resonates. Like when you have a really good band, the band is 10x better than each member individually.

There's tons of mechanics I've not yet encountered in any other h-game (though my tastes are more eclectic, so maybe you have). Some examples: an inventory of gadgets that lets me interface with the world in novel ways. Its not just that these things are present, i.e. "Item used!" but the way they are woven into the game experience. I won't spoil it, go try it! Some take the form of minigames, which I have encountered, and the balancing on these could be made a bit more challenging, but for v0.1 they easily get a pass on this.

The way you interact with main characters is completely novel to me. There is an ability to "Inspect" them, which drives a lot of the story and evolution of the player character. Again, won't spoil. Check it out, its versatile and fresh af!

The corruption mechanic is woven into the story plotline seamlessly. Everything just holds togething in this game, making for an extremely immersive and interesting experience. The voice acting on many of the main characters, including the player character, feels professional on all except one minor character.

More importantly, the narrative foundation has been laid for all sorts of solid fetish/themes later: body modification, robots, latex, drug addiction, sex addiction, etc. There is beautifully crafted world-building already in place that foreshadows all of these in a way that makes sense.

All in all, wow. I congratulate this dev team, v0.1 is already polished and tight. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us as you build this out. Thank you for hearing us!

New game new start, so there's still a lot to see, but what a start. They are clearly more ambitious this time, but are still sticking with what they love and know. Add to that devs with proven discipline punctuated by a completed game, and it's looking like the promise shown in the demo might actually burn strong all the way through. And might actually result in a finished game lmao.

My only hope, and it's not really a complaint of the first game, is that they push kinks a bit. They started adding some less vanilla stuff towards the end of Third Crisis, but it understandably got less attention. Of course, it's more fringe so by definition less people are interested. Just hoping with the increased scope that they might be able to add shoot a bit wider.

So far it seems like they're already shooting wider earlier. This might actually have me more excited than Third Crisis given the premise too. Anyway, will be updating review over time.

Ambitious sequel to Third Crisis.

Almost fully voiced dialogue, Amazing VA choice of the protagonist Pixiewillow VA, Quality art and an engaging storyline to boot with branching arcs.

Really impressed with this initial release, here's hoping the quality remains for future updates.

Edit : its a prequel

The Voice acting of every Character is peak! The Characters and the Scenes are already very good. I can already say that there will be alot of potential in this Game IF the Dev is putting their attention to it and not let everyone wait for over 3 months to bring out new updates!
