Recommending TonyMurray's Favourite Games and Favourite Girls

The girl with the extra. I mean, her face looks better than most real women in some VNs Tony wasted his time on.

I think it's up to me to decide if I've wasted my time or not, and it's also up to me who I include or exclude from my cards.

Indeed, was just curious if you left the LI intentionally out, or not. I have got my answer now, thank you.

Cumona Beach by Dunderdeuce

This is a pretty middle-of-the-road game – it’s got average visuals, average writing, average LIs, and average lewds. It does enough to keep ticking along inoffensively though, and that’s exactly what I need sometimes, because too often, a game has something that is well below average that throws it out, such as awful English, or really throwing in some story element that is completely out of sync with the rest of the game.

Here, we have a fair bit of porn-logic writing, and it does mean a lot of the sex scenes feel like they’re lacking a bit of chemistry as the progression is too fast. Some of the non-sex scenes are also a bit much, with the whole “deepthroating an ice lolly in front of your son” thing being a repeated early theme, and various other “innocent” (but not really) things that just don’t seem right, like winning a favour from someone and choosing “I want you to fist me” (meaning “fist bump me”) – apart from the ridiculous “error” in word choice, who on Earth would ask for a fist bump as a favour?

Other than those few ridiculous bits of writing, there are a couple of bits that I thought were quite decent. I actually liked the whole thing with the dad – not the complete jackass bit, or the fraud bit, but the bits around his infidelity. I thought it was pretty simple, but did give a reasonable cause for some of the conflict in the game. I also liked how there were enough clues (some of them really obvious) for you to work out what’s going on and with whom, quite a bit before it’s confirmed.

Anyway, of the average LIs here, there isn’t really much variation. Three are from the same family (mom, sister, aunt) and the mom and aunt do look like they could be sisters. There’s one black girl who you can get a couple of variations of a scene with, and a red-headed trans girl who you can pursue (and is easily avoidable if you don’t want to pursue her), but everyone else is white and brunette. I don’t think I’ve seen another game so devoid of blondes!

Overall, I think “average” sounds a bit harsh but is a pretty good description of this game. It’s given me enough to keep playing at the moment, with some LIs I’m interested in, and some bits I’m hoping to see going forwards, and crucially, it’s not given me anything that completely turns me off.

Domino Beach by Mr Jet

This game has great graphics all round. The overall visuals are really high quality, but the girls are all great too, with only three below a tier-three rating for me (Christie with her fake tits that really spoil her look for me, Emily with something about her face that just doesn’t look right to me, and Kath, who I don’t even fit into my image below as we’ve hardly seen her). All three of those have the opportunity to move up, of course, as the game progresses and they get more screentime. It’s one of those games where everyone loves tattoos, which is a shame, but I don’t think they are too bad on the girls, thankfully. With plenty of women in bikinis in every scene, and great lighting from the beach setting, this is a very visually appealing game.

The story is pretty straightforward, and while I’m not much of a fan of the “gang warfare” part of the storyline, the surfer groups do at least make it a bit different, and I like how a lot of it is done in terms of the conflict it brings. Both the surfing element and the lifeguard element feel quite fresh, even if beach settings are used regularly enough in other games, and I’m intrigued to see how the lifeguard trials will go in the next update.

The romance is a bit on the fast side, especially when you have the opportunity to lock lips with different women in consecutive scenes, and everything is a bit intertwined, so it’s not as if those women are strangers to each other. I do wonder how that will play out, with no idea if we have a harem or a solo-romance game on our hands. I don’t mind either, but if I enjoy a game and like a number of the LIs (both of which are true here), I do like to know early if I’ll need to be setting up several different saves.

The gameplay is not bad, but at the same time it’s nothing really to write home about. Everything works, but that’s the bare minimum expectation, not a feature. The choices do allow you to opt out of certain romances, but unless you explicitly reject someone, you’re often pushed into things without choice (just kisses I think though, so far at least). Other choices don’t feel too important, as they will generally be the standard four questions to get to know someone, or to gather information, and it’s just a case of which order you ask them in, although here you do get a “no more” option, so you don’t have to ask all the questions at least.

Overall, I like what I’ve seen so far, and it feels like a good improvement in all aspects over Become a Rock Star, which already looked good visually, for the most part. Here, I would say the MC is massively improved though, which I know is a consideration to some!

the dev's first game is not a harem, so im assumign this one won't be either

 

[TonyMurray]

That's my assumption too. Possibly a throuple though, like BARS, but to be honest, there isn't one that immediately stands out so far. Maybe Zoe and Riley as they've both had a taste (only slightly for Riley) and they are housemates. Alex and Olivia as besties? Or Carla and Emily as lifeguard buddies? Or Fiona with either Emily or Riley as her friends? None of those really feel like natural throuple material to me so far though.

It play it looong time ago,hope mc can bang some girls from rival gang.I luv Scarlette!

Yeah, Scarlett seems like the nicest of them (although I do like Nikki for some reason). She looks great too.

Fiona #1:
Emily last:

Also, this game got me worried recently, as the dev didn't communicate for quite some time. But now it's all good, he's back in touch and gave a respectable progress report.
I hope the gang war isn't here to stay for the whole game, as I'd prefer the lifeguards to be the focus. The specifics of the setting are great for both porn and drama, and I think some surfers regularly beating each other up will hinder that potential.

If its not a Harem, I'm just hoping for better than it falls apart in the hospital.

Seriously I was only playing BARS to find out how that shit show would end.

I am pretty sure he always takes forever in between status updates, but since he has a finished game he has some street cred, as annoying as the radio silence gets. I still haven't played since 0.1, but from what I've read it goes into high school type drama with the surfer gangs and cartoonish evil rich guys somehow involving themselves in teenagers drama.

I was expecting more Baywatch and slice of life...

why does he not put his games on steam? country limitation or smthn?

Fiona is a total cutie-pie. Emily is nice, and I like her character, but lookswise, her face is just a little off for me. Sometimes it looks fine, but most of the time, not so much (for me, obviously).

Wait, BARS was the one where half the LIs bumped into each other in the hospital, wasn't it?

Possibly, I think he is Russian.

yup

To be fair, it was an emergency situation directly connected to the guy they were all supposedly 'the official girlfriend' of. If anything, I was actually more surprised it didn't happen sooner.

Equally as ridiculous is the MC of University of problems who seems to have an open door policy with most the girls in his dorm block and he's not been majorly caught yet.

At least Jane, Anna and Selina didn't know each other. Carol, Yuki, Sara and Ashley are all friends ffs…

They all live in opposite corners of the city though, so it's not surprising they never see each other... oh, wait...

 

[Lagunavii]

Yup it's absolute mental. Not only do they seem to have a set timetable for visiting our MC, they've managed to get said time table while not discussing MC at cheerleeding.
