Others - Vesper - Lust & Hunger [v0.2.5.1] [Starhound Studios]

    As others have said, the art is heavily carrying this game which is very disappointing given it has a good premise and early on it seems it'll have an actual story. As of v0.2.5.1 it's honestly a waste of time, the grind takes forever for barely any content, if it was more straightforward you could be done with everything in under 30m. Sure, it's an early version, but the game has been out for 8 months at this point, there's other games out there which won't disrespect your time like this.
    Extremely repetitive, very few scenes, meaningless stats (like charisma)... If the save file format was different I'd just edit some variables and skip to the end instead of doing the same meaningless tasks everyday.

    Vesper - Lust & Hunger
    Rated version: [v0.2.5.1]


    There's a lot of good about this game. Standout and beautiful art, intriguing setting and premise with a variety of different activities. The potential for this game is really great with future updates.

    However currently it is brought down by some annoyances and repetitive content. I don't personally mind branching locked paths & limited amount of days if it serves a purpose, but a lot of your time is spent grinding same events for money or blood and some paths lock each other out for no real good reason.

    I would currently give it 3,5/5 stars, if F95 would let me half stars, but the game has a potential of 4 or even 4,5 stars with further updates.

    Absolute standout game. There are some minor flaws - it's a little grindy and skipping through dialogue you've seen before needs to be instant not just shorter, also the game is not fully fleshed out yet and some story paths are pretty barebones compared to others.

    The prostitute path clearly has the most content but is not obvious to access as you can't start it until you have enough lust and might end up locking yourself out with one of the other job paths in the meantime!

    Everything else is fantastic. The art is gorgeous, the writing is great, there are a variety of kinky things on offer and clearly more to come based on the stubs of some areas currently in the game.

    Good game, will follow future Progress.
    I like the Art and the kinda grindy feeling is also nice.
    I dont like the 30 day limitation and i would love something like a cheat client so you dont have to start anew everytime.

    What a fantastic game!

    The graphics are amazing, in my opinion, they deserve a 10/10.

    The gameplay is also excellent, 10/10, and I would be very happy to see more updates and content in the future. There are many options and paths to explore, but I would love it if there was a way to skip the intro.

    I don't have many tips on how to improve, as I like to let myself be surprised by the game. I just hope the development continues, because the potential is huge!

    Not sure how this is highly rated. It starts off as a vn with a couple choices you can make (that doesn't matter anyways)

    Then you're thrown into a life sim, but with limited abilities. You can't be a stripper and a prostitute, you have to choose one.

    The scenes are well drawn, but there was only one sex scene. The rest are pretty much oral/footjob/etc.

    The story also becomes non existent. You get random events with pretty nice dialogue, but the rest is just grinding for stats so you can see new porn.

    I give it a two stars simply for the mc. Zamn she saxy

    Very good scenes, good story, and the MC has no right to be this hot.

    Needs a gallery mode for sure, especially since you're locked into one out of a few paths early on (e.g. thief, dancer, worker) and can't access scenes from the other path. Also a bit grindy (to be expected from games like this). Looking forward to updates.

    This game actually has the potential to be incredible. The story itself is actually really intriguing and it hooked me so A+ for the writing. With good writing comes good scenes and the artwork is some of the best I've seen in a while..

    Quite literally have 0 complaints with this game except I wish it was already finished.

    So much potential and I can't wait to see where it leads!

    Looks pretty good, this is a visual novel with sandbox gameplay where you farm resources and pay the "rent" so to speak, Far too many things are filled with "not implemented" currently but this is just 0.1.49.0

    What makes it different from a generic visual novel? The intro and the writing of the character dialogue. When you start saving and exploring different paths you will see what I mean.

    Keep this one on your radar people.

    such great game
    visuals 10/10 imo
    gameplay 10/10 and would love to see more development ( so many routes to replay, but i wish there is a way to skip intro)
    i cant give any hit on how to progress it because i love surprises and I really hope that it doesnt get abandon

    Amazing art and story. Prologue is a little weak but narrative thereafter is intriguing and shows good potential. I played through 2 routes thus far, and have enjoyed it immensely. Right now, only the gameplay aspect is lacking, the game kind turns into an auto clicker after unlocking an event. Seemingly, only one stat, Lust, affect anything. It would be cool if Vesper's speed stat affected the chance to catch the animals in the park. That being said, this game is worth keeping an eye on.

    While the art is delightful, the dialogue entirely knocks you out of any sense of immersion. This wouldn't be much of an issue for most porn, but this game seems to want you to take it seriously, and will occasionally interrupt your efforts to grind stats with pages of dialogue. The dialogue in question is technically well-written, but the content of it isn't worth the time it takes to click through.

    Amazing game, the art is sublime, the multiple paths are all interesting, the developer updates frequently and the story is creative; It's not a subject I've seen before.

    My only complain is that it's very grindy, you have to do multiple games to go down every routes and the gameplay is basically always the same. Choose actions for each daily cycles to upgrade your stats/progress down a route, unlock a scene, rinse and repeat. I think this is something the developer needs to address in future versions.

    This game has amazing art, a story with depth, good well-written grammatically correct English, and so far two main story paths. The game has a bunch of different endings too, I've played for an hour and I've already found 3.

    In my opinion pretty much a perfect female protagonist corruption game so far, so if you're a fan of the genre you should definitely check it out.

    Intro is a banger !
    Art is one the best I've seen here, story is great, writing too...
    Intro is the main reason for my positive rating because I still hope the rest is WIP and will look more like the beginning even if is doesn't go VN.

    Then comes the rest...
    As I didn't want to go too fast into corruption I chosed to try to live normally as a journalist. I quickly found out that the low money I made wasn't enough to survive (it's fair, i'm fine with it) and animals (i run a bit to catch them more) weren't enough aswell but that was expected.
    What was not expected tho is the (very few) events that occured in the game required me to have higher stats which was not possible as I had to run, work and rest to surive I couldn't get naughty at all. And once passed they didn't trigger anymore. I was caught stealing to the hospital and made a thief so couldn't prostitute anymore.

    Basically my whole game was spamming, hunt, steal, work, rest and drink at the end when I made enough money.
    The promising intro was far behind as I reach the end of the game as nothing happenned anymore. The maybe 2 or 3 events led nowhere (maybe bcs of my low stats ?) I tried to farm intel and charisma but seems like it's useless.

    Game looks great, intro is great but the rest is endless griding, no more story (what the point of the intro at this point ?), just spamming the same action to trigger the next scene but once you've saw it 10 times it becomes pretty boring... Most stats seems useless and the lack of events and connection to the story made me forget about the initial statement of the game and got me bored.

    I add 1 star to my initial 2 stars as the intro really hyped me and because the game is still WIP and at an early stage of dev but still the gameplay part doesn't look promising at all. If I could I'd go for 2.5 rating, went for 3 as I have hope that it turns out being better with time and not boring grinding with no events, no story and senseless playthroughs where all you have to do is to farm and wait to trigger next scene is each place.

    The UnHolyOne

    INTRO
    So on the surface. this game is unique, its fun for your first two play throughs. however, after an hour (if that), the cracks begin to form, and the flaws begin to show. now i enjoyed the premise of this game and its foundation, but it ultimately fell short with the amounts of inconsistencies with the gameplay, and elements that are either not finished at all (most of the scenes), or broken and unbalanced progression. but lets get on with the good points

    PROS
    1. Normal looking female MC, which i prefer, so gg on that
    2. Monster MC, having to manage it, and it factoring into the sexual side too
    3. it seems to be leaning into an open mind when it comes to kinks.
    4. different and varied looking partners
    5. its hot asf
    6. story seems to hold some potential



    CONS
    1. most of the systems are so unbalanced, its unreal. the blood management is fine, but the money you get from a journalist/bar tender playthrough isnt enough to survive, let alone progress. i spammed the hell out of hunting, and only 20 percent of the times (being generous with that percentage) succeeded, whilst the other 80 percent failed, forcing me to buy blood bags, or forcing me either into prostitution or messing around with the hospital guard. it almost feels like it forces you into either selling your body for money, or at the hospital for blood. as doing the normal jobs dont pay. and eventually after exploring the extremely limited scenes as a prostitute, you get paid pennies, and no longer does it feed you blood (although it says it does)..

    2. most of the sex scenes are not even finished, the cgs being uncoloured 70 percent of the times, and none of them are animated either.

    3. the scenes it has to offer are extremely limiting. no anal sex at all, no anal, no ass eating (recieving), just one vaginal scene, mostly teasing and flashing. i wanted to do an anal only playthrough, and some fucking liar on the thread claimed theres plenty. ive done five different playthroughs at this point, and yet to see anal sex, ort any other vaginal sex. although my main kink is anal, so id be aiming for an anal only playthrough..

    4. it just gets boring after a couple playthroughs, once you realise all the teaser cgs are misleading, and youve discovered all you can sexually. everything is pretty much teasing and flashing, with the two vaginal scene, and a blowjob scene.. i eventually got sick and tired of the unbalanced systems and called it. as it become a fucking boring chore.



    SUMMARY

    This game could be top tier 5 stars, amazing. however, it needs more time to cook. the developer should focus on getting scenes finished and coloured before releasing them, and expand on the sex systems. and make some tweaks to money rewards and blood tasks. i really really enjoyed this game for the first hour. i really did. and its no means a bad game. but its just barely resembling a functioning game at this point. it gets boring FAST. negative stuff aside. this game is extremely promising, it just needs to be fleshed out, and expanded upon. take user feedback into account too!


    WISHLIST
    1. ANAL ONLY playthroughs. i wanna do that, her butt eaten and played with alot, fucked as her only hole (besides her mouth), give us that option to do a complete VIRGIN route with anal only.

    2. sexual animations, it would make this so much better. as it has the animated tag, which is misleading.

    3. R*PE scenes. i wanna see her get molested. her ass eaten against her will, her ass played with and fucked, her boobs fucked and played with, her mouth fucked. (i dont care about vaginal, as i wanna do anal only).

    4. finish the damn scenes, colour them! expand upon the existing systems. you have a bestiality tag but i saw nothing of the sorts, ive seen anal sex (on other sites), and nothing of the sorts. give us variety, dependant on our lust and state of mind

    5. take your time man, dont rush scenes out, let it cook. id rather it come out the oven tasting amazing, then rushing it out, due to being hungry and impatient and then not eating/enjoying it as its undercooked.


    just take contructive critique into account, take your time. your art is amazing, your writing also. but some things need tweaked, stuff needs finished before its sent out, and alot of stuff needs expanded upon, or added. this is likely to be one of my favourite games in time, but it needs time to cook.


    edit: i also found that the days offered just restrict the gameplay too much and add to the already existing grind and chore of it all. like im not just grinding, but im trying my best to grind my arse off to get scenes, before i get booted to the main menu, and forced to restart over again. ITS ANNOYING. noone liked when DEAD RISING DID IT, I CERTAINLY DONT LIKE WHEN THIS DOES IT. its all fine and dandy having the limited time/race against the clock be a factor, once the games fleshed out enough, or finished. but this early on, its just a punishment. as this early on, we're trying to get a feel for the game, and we're not just put up against a big ass grind, but also against a time limit too. its way too limiting. if youre not up for/able to remove the time limit until it actually has a meaning for it, then add alot more days. ideally, remove the boot to menu thing.. as you think it adds to replayability, but really youre forcing players into a new save, with more insane grind. so if youre gonna add it, add it when it makes sense, cause rn theres not enough to the game story wise, feature wise, sex wise. its more a hindrance atm than anything. i originally had this as a two star, but put it to a neutral 3, because for the first hour i REALLY enjoyed the game. and intend to play again when its worth playing

    YakuzaZzz

    Idk why people rewiew game so high, to me 4.5 the game is nearly perfect and once again i got trapped into wasting hours trying to like the game and in the end, its just a really badly executed game the story is so bland i feel like this would have been better just a long story with choices like a vn rather than a sandbox with 50 "one still image game overs scenes" if anything is good only the art but then again its a still image with 50 things happening in the scene but you don't see anything of what the scenes tells you, to me this looks like a an art flex i guess they managed to pay the mods or whatever, get a high rating like this cause there is no way this game is 4.5 out of 5 people are getting delusional . I guess people are giving it a high score cause they believe in the art but then again what's good art if the rest is completely badly implemented or written this game is not even done and id think remaking the game would be the play here cause the games feels like it doesn't know what it wants lol
    Ps : Update this time i tried to get everything out of this game and ill say this man im disappointed the art is carrying this so hard, the sad part they don't know how to write sexy "event" or scenario they're quick and lazy im even surprised the sex scene got my dick hard , and they had the audacity to say this game is made to be played with one hand i couldn't bust a nut to this >....> even after unlocking everything . Im sad to say this but the artist that work for this game is wasting his potential he/she is held hostage to this crap if i had only 50 % of this artist talent id be filthy rich, porn game are absolute ass nowadays . Im sorry but i have to repeat myself there, it is not a good game at all .

    The art is excellent. Love the themes and the vampirism. Vesper is a very attractive protagonist. The gameplay is pretty standard sandbox type stuff, thought the 90 day limit is sort of a bummer. Also restarting runs is a little troublesome since you could miss out on stats that affect the main gameplay, and skipping is a bit slow compared to visual novels made in Ren'Py. Overall, very good game and I can't wait to see more.

    Some advice I would give to the artist is that making one CG per scene is not scalable for a game. It would be great to have new CGs for everything but that is definitely not happening without some serious time invested into making this game. While key scenes are fine to have brand new CGs, it's fine to use the usual visual novel "talking sprites" format for usual conversations.

    In addition don't be afraid to create nude sprites for characters and use those for less important scenes as well. Drawing backgrounds is tough work!

    Review for version 0.1.15.2

    this game for me, is a breath of fresh air in a sea of VNs and Japanese RPGs. while the prologue is still following a VN format, the main part of the game seems to be management-focused. the system has its ups and downs, but overall it's pretty solid and can potentially lead to a fine gameplay loop.

    Art is the best feature of this game and the competition is not even close. some scenes are just sketches and half-drawn, but the completed ones are quite fine and erotic.

    the writing is a bit hit-and-miss. it's definitely above average, but it's not on the level of art for sure. it's not problematic and I think that's acceptable.

    the problem starts with the gameplay loop. you have a bunch of resources that should be balanced with activities that make money for you. each day consists of 3 activities and based on what you choose, your stats grow, you get cash or you lower your exhaustion, which if you ignore, will limit your actions per day to 2.

    the problem surfaces when the game tries to make you choose a "route". for example your "hunger" stat can be satiated in different ways and two of those are stealing blood from a hospital or selling your body and feeding on your client in the middle of it. but if you even try hospital once, you get locked out of prostitution which is like half of the scenes in the game. if it had some kind of story logic I could accept it, but not like this.

    also, in trying to limit the players even more and increase playability, grinding is dialed up so much that you need to at least spend half of your time just making money while having a time limit! for now, stats like speed and study doesn't have that much of an effect, so they're worthless. on the other hand, to make more money you need to level up your job, which is a slow and tedious process. Not to mention that I don't think being a vampire brought anything to the table other than a hindrance in the form of "hunger".

    the game has some neat ideas and great art, but the coding and the gameplay balance need a lot of work. definitely something to keep an eye on for now, but I won't recommend playing it in the current state.
