RPGM - Completed - Treasure of Nadia [v1.0117] [NLT Media]

Typical NLT,.
Excellent graphics ruined by idiotic puzzles.
Why they put elements of Sega Genesis 96 in a porn game I'll never understand.

Not sure it is really a game, it is more like a Visual novel that won't let you progress until you're forced into unrelated puzzle solving.

This review is based on my opinion, I'll try to be as unbiased as possible:

This game is beautifully animated, gameplay is alright but too much walking around (although it's pretty normal on NLT games, so I got used to it).
I'll be giving this only 4 stars because the plot really fell off later, not unlike his previous game, I really liked the somewhat horror aspect and mystery of the previous game and expected this to surpass my expectations.
I'll be looking forward to his next game.

Amazing work by NLT. A lot of improvement compared to Lust Epidemic. Best luck to the dev. Keep up this amazing work and continue with this high quality game development. Hoping to see the 3rd major game turn out even better.

Good overall plot , renders and animation. But the dialogue is really bad - so cringey. Especially the way everyone fawns over the MC. Also, not being able to skip any of the women is super annoying. I don't want to sit through scenes with Pricia(or anyone else) if I don't want to. The lack of choice is staggering. And then there's the grindy gameplay - it's okay for the first few hours but after that it's incredibly annoying as the game is way too long.

This game ends with a 'The journey continues...' with the next instalment, fyi.

The girls are hot, the renders are gorgeous, the h-scenes are well animated. The whole Indiana Jones plot is a little silly, but serviceable. As with any RPGM titles, the worst thing about this is the gameplay. It's there to add frustration, there's no fun in it. The dev added tons of quality of life improvements to the game, making it probably the most polished RPGM experience ever, but it's still annoying af to play. This game is pretty to look at, but if you are looking for sth to fap to, this is not it.

This game is a technical achievement with the highest quality scenes animated out there, with an insane amount of quantity. 5 stars for that alone. You can really tell that a lot of time/money has been invested in creating this game.

Cherry on top; it's a good puzzle game. You will certainly tire of it at points but it moves the plot forward and sets up the erotic scenarios well enough. I did think some of the setups were lazy, bad even, but when there are LITERAL HUNDREDS of A+ animated scenes.. I don't blame them.

The only 'game' element here is puzzles, there is no 'choice'. This is 100% on rails, which I'm fine with, because the puzzles are enough for me and because the story delivered was enough to compel me through the story.

The story is convoluted, as you would expect considering there are 12/13 girls sharing hundreds of sex scenes, all only with the MC or another girl as partners.. you may be thinking, how on earth do they set these scenarios up in story? And the answer is, not artfully at times.

But I'll give the story credit; it is way better than it has any business being. You are a treasure hunter trying to follow in your father's footsteps and trying to make it rich at first, before you meet these 12 girls who all have their own agendas and will help out and obviously bang in the end. The story finds a natural groove mixing the sex and story and gameplay progression in the first half, you further your relationships as you get closer to the treasure. It's wonderful and what peak lewd gaming is all about.

The second half, to its credit, has a few good plot twists I didn't see coming. This story and execution is way better than any lewd game has any business being.

But it's also a bit of a shitshow navigating the MC's escalating sexual relationship with all 12 girls whilst moving the plot forward. You will definitely feel like there is the scene hunting sex portion of the game and the big plot advancements, in discrete separate pieces, by the end of the game, which is to be expected. And I know there is never too much sex but... there is so much sex, albeit high quality AF, towards the end, that my brain just went numb. I almost wanted.. less and more selective, creative implementations of it. But it was always a tall task.

Overall, this is a fantastic game. Despite having so much sex content, I actually think the plot and execution overall is the highlight, because the plot is always solid with good twists while the logical, cerebral sexual progression of the characters is sometimes left behind for the sake of giving us the craziest sex scenes possible. But that's just personal preference I think, I'm sure many will enjoy some of the ridiculous sex scenarios given.

Amazing. There is no comparison with these guys. They create the best games, fast and perfect. Can't wait for the next game in the series! Animation and models are flawless, the voices add to the immersion.

NLT did another great game for you to enjoy. Although I liked the setting of the previous game - Lust Epidemic - more than the ToN setting, this is still a top notch sex game. The renders are great, the female characters are lovely and the story is enthralling enough to make you want to know what happens next (although the end is a bit weak in my opinion - but no spoilers here).

Can't wait to check out NLT's latest game.

Came for the boobs, stayed for the plot.

For real. This game has a better plot than most AAA games and movies nowadays.

Furthermore, the models used are amazing, the characters are very well thought out and very seductive.

The H-scenes are simply amazing, good graphics, sexy poses and very life-like.

The gameplay itself is a bit tedious in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, its easy to play.

i almost feel bad giving this 4 stars because the game is so good
the game is fucking huge i think it took me 42 hours to finish 100%
i will even replay all the scenes again and for the first time i have a good reason to do that
so playing the game for 1 hour daily got me 3 or 4 scenes maximum and they were not close to each other so not really ideal for fapping and thats the only downside of this game
all the girls where unique
the scenes kept gradually getting better and better
the orgies kept happening near the end with reason and no reason but i will not complain
when you lose the soul crystal and at the final phase of the game its really annoying to get around
the walkthrough for the Kamasutra pages isnt complete there is like 4 torn pages missing from that walkthrough
the pictures walkthrough isnt complete for the end game content
so you depend on past comments on f95zone or youtube videos for people who are playing the game there and found what you are missing
even at the last point in the game when i found i was 59/60 extra and i went anyway to Madeline and she gave me the last picture i breathed relief finally
Alia was the perfect cuckqueen
i found sofia and janet and madeline to be the women to turned me on the most
madeline was dominating the shit out of the MC for the most part and i loved it
Sofia too did the same for most of the scenes
and the developers didnt skimp on making story scenes where there is nothing sexual happening so you actually see the fights and stuff
its a great game cant wait for genesis order to be complete so i can play it

Starting with the pros, this game is a sumptous progect. It's just massive, with great render and a lot of animations with valid cinematografy. It really squeezes the best from the RPGM platform and the story is not half bad.

Unfortunately, and ironically, this game also suffers from his qulities. To cut it to the essential, this project is overbloated.

I'm writing this review while i'm little over 60% of the story, but i can't bring myself to go on. The gameplay so far has been so long and repetetive that i can't take any more of it. I'll eventually will but i need a long pause.

The treasure hung (as a gaming genre, not the actual treasure hunt in the story) is well made but since the locations are limited and the gameplay long, you end up walking up and down over and over to pick up yet another object or trigger yet another even to quick head back to the opposite side of the map with literally only one very limited shortcut.

It gets boring very quick and even the rauchy scenes, that pop up out of the blue with 0 coherency to the story, like you walk in a bar and while you sit at the counter you realize that a random girl had put your dick in her mouth and she's been sucking for the last minute, get boring and unwelcome after a while. Just an annoying interlude to waste even more time. They don't feel earned nor compelling.

I swear, after the first 3-4 hour of gameplay everytime a rauchy scene started i shout profanity out of annoyance for the cut to the rithm of the game.

The side games, finding the kamasutra pages that require to find chests AND find keys AND find part of keys to restore yet another key, and the temple puzzles, albeith optional, are such a boring and agressive waste of time! At least the chests could have been opened right away without the annoyance of finding keys.

I liked Lust Epidemic a lot more. It had much better pace and sense of proportion.

This game is a huge project masterly executed on a technical level but it's just too much and it's proving for the gamer.

Applicable to: [v1.0112] [COMPLETED]

I just had to write a review for this game because it cost me 150 hours over a whole month, something that I'm actually truly ashamed of. And it would've cost far more but I cheated through the last 30 temple-puzzles!

If ToN was a TV show it would be La casa de papel, no doubt about it.

Ups

At first you'll think "OMG this game is great, the production values are fantastic, look at that gorgeous 3D modelling, hear that voice work, look at that fucking, OMG OMG!" but after days and days of playing the same repetitive formula again and again and again and again you will get bored and frustrated about not being able to just get it over with (heh).

ToN has some major strong points, the 3D rendering quality being the biggest. Without a doubt this is the future for porn games and even though hand-drawn games are already a niche, 3D quality of ToN level will only become easier to produce and will eventually just drown out hand-drawn games.

3D movement in animations is also decent, not mocap level but OK. The amount of animations, though, is simply mind numbing. It has almost 4 hours spread across thousands of clips. This really makes the game stand out because many animations are skilfully used as cinemagraphs (i.e. short animations deceivingly looking like a still image at first glance except there's subtle looped movement in there and that makes the scene pop at you). The idea of using cinemagraphs is excellent and something I long desired to see in a porn game simply because it really helps to make the game world seem more alive while only requiring a reasonable amount of effort. Voice-work is also used very well, again with a great idea of recording only a few intro/outro phrases to make dialogue scenes pop and avoiding the temptation of recording voice-work for everything which would've been prohibitive.

Finally, the last strong point I'll mention is the general technical & game-play cohesiveness. This is hard to describe but the game just feels well put together. Not only did it not crash once on me but it also has exceptional technical and artistic blending between map areas, dialogue scenes, porn scenes, etc. The game simply flows well between one step and the next.

Downs

Unfortunately, ToN also has some gigantic downsides, the biggest being that it was milked for far too long with vast consequences. It had releases every ~2 weeks for over 2 years and each release piled on content using pretty much the same exact formula with no other aim than to keep the train going. The end result is you'll eventually get bored in the same way you get bored with a telenovela-like TV series that drags on for years using formulaic viewer attention hooks in an absolutely obvious attempt to sell more of the same instead of aiming for a well rounded, satisfying closure.

I only played this game once from beginning to end and it has TONS of other problems due to being milked so long. Story threads are often suspended in illogical ways simply because in the past you had to progress on other story threads before you can resume but this is not at all obvious so you either have to cheat and ask what's next or roam around visiting every screen looking for something to do. Everything is superlinearized so the world doesn't truly feel like a sandbox. The exact same puzzles with the exact same level of sophistication are piled on you incessantly until you are just completely spent (in a bad way).

I understand why the dev stuck with RPGM. They had the correct instinct that a porn game is better when the game part is actually something engaging instead of the almost-universal nothing offered in this regard by the vast majority of Ren'Py games. Meanwhile, using other engines is very expensive not just because of the effort required to learn them at the same depth but also because other engines don't provide such a comfortable template out of the box to build a game on. Unfortunately, due to ToN being so unbearably long, RPGM's idiosyncrasies only amplified the general feeling of repetitiveness and boredom once enough tens of hours accumulated.

Finally, the offence that really broke my back was the vanilla perversion level and this came at me with a one-two knock-out. One was that, with a few notable exceptions like the scene with the wetness contest or a scene with preggo fucking, all sex scenes are pretty much the same formula repeated with each of the 13 girls. Sooner or later you're going to get bored.

But two was the real knock-out. I know NLT for some deliciously kinky incest comics. In Family Vacation you have a mom encouraged by her husband to fuck their two boys and not only does she do it but the family dog gets some of her pussy too. In The Family Hike you get a dad fucking his sweet dumb little girl's pussy in such a perverted way. And then we come to the pile of incest-garbage that is The Treasure of Nadia. Oh My God is it bad. It's literally the same stinking find-and-replace neighbour/landlady with Mom & childhood-friend with sister. Incest in this game is absolutely sterile, the missed opportunities are gigantic and the fact that NLT (fucking No Limit Taboo!!!) is fully capable of putting out some seriously perverted stuff but doesn't because it chooses to bend the knee to Patreon is just gut wrenching.

Lastly, I'll mention in passing that none of these girls get fucked by anyone else except MC which only amplifies the clownish level of perversion you're faced with here. There isn't even any fisting anymore despite this being a thing in Lust Epidemic. SMH...

I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. 3.5 would've been more suitable but that's not a rating option. ToN has some really fantastic upsides but the downsides are equally huge and if you aim to complete it normally you will not be left satisfied vs. the amount of time it demands.

[As of v1.0112]

Great erotic game. This game has almost everything you want for this genre.

Highlights:
1) Delicate models. Anyone can intuitively feel this.
2) Smooth and decent 3d animated scenes. You rarely see such ample and outstanding scenes in one game. And there are over 100 full animated erotic scenes!
3) A fun story. Every character has a place in the game. Erotic scenes are well embedded into the story flow.
4) Rich in content. Sufficient explorable areas, plenty of collectible items and mini-games/puzzles.
5) Well-polished gameplay system. Very few bugs and game crashes, personally I have not experienced any of them.

Few issues:
1) Full collection process is grinding. Finding pages and hidden items took a lot of time and lacked basic clues. The puzzles are a bit repetitive and too much. You can get around this by using walkthrough or replacing saves, but as far as the game itself is concerned it is grindy.
2) Some of the erotic scenes are somewhat similar, but one can assume that this is an inevitable experience after viewing dozens of scenes.
3) The plot twist becomes more and more abrupt. Some of the plot changes are very abrupt and lack logic and context, resulting in a progressively odd story flow. But seriously, the fact that you've even begun to consider the plot of an erotic game speaks volumes about the excellence of the game itself.

This game really deserves a review.
From the start the game received monthly updates that had as much content as many of the others games yearly offerings.

Renders and animations have their own unique style and are pretty high quality. The game also has a good built-in walkthrough system and makes good use of the RPGM engine without looking like the other thousand RPGM games out there.

Writing is also good for the most part, which is mainly due to the love potion that exists in the game so the dev can progress kinda fast with minimal actual character development while keeping it somewhat believeable.

Looking forward to playing The Genesis Order.

NLT has done it again, great story, game play, sexy women. All amazing love the style of art and story and is so engaging. Love it all. Renders are great, I love the side story of Lust Epedemic mixed in. Also great having a choice of relationships and bonds created as well. So much fun.

This game is easily a 10 STAR GAME! Seriously! Amazing, Astonishing, Fun, ADDICTIVE as hell!
(so why only 4 stars?)
- It's a personal preference thing for me.

AWESOME:
+ *** Artwork - from the delicious skin texture work, to the character models (most of them), to the environment, to the items and atmosphere.
+ ** Characters - Compelling, diverse, and motivating to the player to get to know or try to avoid certain people.
+ ** Animations - Besides the instance mentioned below, smooth, realistic animations with multiple characters and body parts moving at the same time? Rare in this sort of game.
+ * Voice Work - A variety of actors do awesome dramatic performances in the handful of instances, many times with finite precision crafting of the lips for near-perfect sync to drive the emotional performance home.
+ ** Addictiveness - While the learning curve might feel steep to some players, it's surprisingly effective at hooking you on clicking those sparkly mystery dots to retrieve whatever is hidden beneath...
**********
(10 Stars)

Setbacks/Personal Issues:
- * Naomi's long black hair is beautiful, except when seen from behind during animated scenes, where the bottom portion (where the longer hair connects to the character model's skull) completely disconnects and hangs magically above her back.
Fair warning, the following reductions are a personal preference. I know there are wide open-minded individuals who adore every kink, every possible sexual activity. Some find what I abhor to be entrancing, delightful, and erotic. Do not take this as a knock against your personal adult preferences.
- ** I understand the act of pulling out and cumming on body parts or faces is appealing to many. I just don't see it. 90% of the time, when the MC cums, it's in a mouth, on a leg, a foot, a chest, or all over a woman's face. I imagine my neighbors were wondering why I would occasionally shout "Why?!??!!!" while this happened.
- *** I also understand many people accept that every opening on a woman is fair game. I respect that, I do. I just disagree. This is the point where NLT dropped the ball for me PERSONALLY.
--- ANAL RIMMING is prevalent and considered an exciting thing - like a puppy or ice cream.
--- ANAL FINGERING is just as in-your-face.
--- ANAL SEX is the go-to for the majority of animated scenes in Treasure of Nadia.
--- IF you are the person who enjoys, delights, and becomes highly aroused by this, you will LOVE these events! They are plentiful.
--- IF you are like me, and think the 'back door' is "EXIT ONLY" and wince at the ere concept, speed-click through the SKIP option just to get back to the regular gameplay and continue the story... Treasure of Nadia will be a challenge for you.

This is an AWESOME GAME! Huge on the top of my list.

I am dying to play The Genesis Order, but I hope and wish that NLT will give the CHOICE to players when it comes to "hole of preference" for adult content. I understand they wish to create new, exciting gameplay and they do succeed in this. However, when trying to cater to a wider audience, perhaps let the player choose if they wish to avoid certain kinks/orifices.

All there games r amazing .

Very good game. Nice plot and story. Nice art and animations. However, the game itself is kinda hard, with finding all the pages and other items. Without a walkthrough can easily get stuck at many points, which makes it a hassle. So, play it with a walkthrough for sure.

While the cinematics are of pretty high quality and the overarching story is interesting, this chapter in the story falls flat in a few ways and still has some of the same annoyances of other RPGM games.

Overall the graphics are pretty great, though the girls all look a bit samey--slightly larger boobs here, slightly larger butt there, slightly different faces framed by different hair color/style--so much so that I often mixed up a few of them in the group scenes. I have no knowledge of the software used to create the models, but is there no way to make them seem less plastic and more distinguishable? A few moles? Freckles? Birthmarks? More difference in builds/complexions? If all of the girls were shaven bald you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.

That aside, the environments are decent, though at times you're hard-pressed to find what you're looking for amidst the backgrounds. Nothing too bad, but an occasional annoyance.

The story itself is good, though a few of the twists were telegraphed pretty glaringly long before they were revealed (I will not spoil them here). One huge pain for me, however, was entering a new area, seeing a lot of interesting things littered around but being swept away automatically by the story before being allowed to explore/examine anything and then having to spend a long time getting back to that place just to pick up a few mundane items that are nevertheless vital for progression. Again, I will not post spoilers, but this happened numerous times and I almost missed some of the story while my eyes rolled in exasperation.

The story is pretty linear with no real, meaningful choices to be made. You have to complete action A in order to get to action B. You have to complete B in order to progress to C, etc. etc.. Like many RPGM games it's not really about exploring and discovering so much as it is following a predetermined list of commands that you don't have access to (unless you obsessively check with Evie). It's not a bad thing, necessarily, but your freedom is 100% an illusion. If you want to progress, you must perform these actions in this order.

The dialogue I found hit and miss. Sometimes it was a good read, giving some exposition for the story as it progressed and a little insight to the nature of each character, though other times--ugh. To be fair, I guess there's only so many variations on "pound my pussy!" before you start repeating yourself, but I feel like another couple drafts could have improved things. There are also a few glaring grammatical errors that were a small letdown. I don't know if the developers speak English as a first language and if they don't then it's entirely excusable, but translators should know the difference between "your" and "you're", for example. We all make mistakes, but if you care about your work--which I 100% believe these developers do--you want that sort of thing polished up.

I've seen some complaints about having to dig for artifacts to gain money for necessary items, but honestly I found that just by following the story and picking up things along the way I was never very short on funds apart from the very beginning--or when buying absolutely everything from the store for my house at the end. Making sure to upgrade your shovel along the way helps take some of the tedium out of it. The fishing side quest was dull, repetitive and kind of pointless unless you are going for 100% completion but there is one source of continually building income that provided a good portion of what I needed without having to farm for talismans continuously (once again, no spoilers, but you pay into it with a few things you find along the way and it gives good returns over time).

The controls are about as bad as they are in every RPGM game regardless of whether you use the mouse to click your way through or the keyboard directional arrows, particularly for those Temple puzzles. I lost count of how often I had to reset a puzzle because I accidentally brushed against the side of a stone (or whatever those fan-like objects are) and sent it off into a direction I didn't want it to go. Oftentimes the pathing is off, so clicking a portion of the screen doesn't actually send your character there, but rather traps them attempting a straight line that is blocked by obstacles in the way instead of pathing around them. Again this frustration is highlighted in the puzzles--not so much the rest of the game itself. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the engine, but maybe those puzzles could have been better suited with those wonky controls in mind, requiring another action to move the blocks apart from just bumping into them.

I have a few other little nitpicks that essentially boil down to personal choice/opinion so it wouldn't be fair for me to include them here, but all things considered I think this was an "okay" game. I liked a lot of the problem solving/crafting (though having to travel to that one place to craft was a real pain until I got the object that allowed me to do so from anywhere) and the sex scenes that were part of the story were at least interesting/entertaining. The story itself was good, though I have to say I didn't enjoy the very beginning with Alia. It felt like taking advantage of a mentally challenged person. That evened out over time, but she was absolutely my least favorite character. Okay, maybe second least favorite after Ash. He was obviously comic relief, but boy was he a nuisance.

I played the first game when that one was completed and enjoyed it and I think this one is pretty much on par with that one--perhaps with a few improvements. I tend to avoid most RPGM games for various reasons I've mentioned before, but at least some of those are addressed by the developers here (the graphics are a welcome change to the "sameness" of other RPGM games) and I can tell they put a lot of work into the game, so the least I can do is give it a try. I'll be playing the next game in the series when that comes out too.

So good it is bad

Sometimes you find yourself enjoying absolute trash of the game or a film, which is so bad it is something like a parody of itself. It is rare, but it happens. Here we have the opposite case - this game is good, but it is not enjoyable. In all it's attempts to become better it somehow became worse.

So, the plot. The plot is actually incredibly simple. The story is linear to the point of absurdity, with !!!one!!! plot twist across the entire game. Aspecially for those who played the prequel. Nothing happens out of the order, you kinda expect everything which happens to happen. The plot is weak even in comparisson to their previous game, which was a lot shorter.

The gameplay. I kid you not, the gameplay is terrible. I am not a fan of RPGM games, and this is why - they have a great opportunity to make point and click games with movement and the devs usually go too far. This is beyond any normal limit. In order to traverse the jungle you need to spend good 5 minutes or so. Caves - even more. And the game makes you do this again and again to hunt for trophies to sell for money. I have spent about 50h on this game, of which 40h are spent on:
1. Wandering in jungle and collecting money.
2. Fishing.
3. Puzzles in temple.
Numbers 1 and 3 are just quirky movement across rarely changing terrain. Number 2 is so random I ended with a macro to fish for me and left it for several hours.
Should any porn game have this amount of grind and useless minigames? Absolutely not!

The characters. Well, the main hero is generic AF. So was the main hero of the prequel, no change here. Now, the girls: the girls are mostly good. In comparisson to the prequel they have better meshes and overall look more appealing, some of them are of younger age, so it is not just milfs as it was before. However, their character is almost untouched. The only ones undergoing at least some developement are Alia and Sofia, the others are like "set in stone". It doesnt really help enjoying the scenes with them - they feel, act, talk unnaturally, like... shallow?

However, the animations themselves are incredibly good. There is a huge bunch of them, everything one can imagine is there. But, sometimes, close to the end of the game, I was wondering, what is the point of all this? The story withered away, main hero is having sex every 5 minutes NOT SPENT GRINDING with 3+ girls, and it is so uninspired and mindless that it has withered my interest in the game.

Somehow I was enjoying the first like 30% of the game, then it became worse and worse and towards the end I had no interest in even knowing what the final scene would be.

I wonder, how did this amazing game leave such mediocre impression on me? Why was that? What was missing? I think, it has to do with the actual "soul" of the game. The game is soulless, passionless. It does come every 2 weeks with 1 update having 2-3 sex scenes and 2.5% of the story in them. It must have become so repetitive for the devs they forgot what this is all about, they forgot their passion for the project it all started with.
I can only compare this game with a professional porn you play from the middle. Everyone is fucking and even if there was some prelude to the process there is none of it left.

This is not the game I would recommend, as everything in it for me is a huge collection of great art. Just download an endgame save and play the scenes from the phone.
