I doubt that you'll have many answers. Not because all games are good, but because why try to remember the name of the worse game you played ? Especially since generally you play few minutes, then pass to something else because it really not worth the time.

Personally I know that I tried some horrors, but I would be totally unable to give you a name, nor even describe most of them.

I don't normally look at these threads, but this one caught my eye.

I'd say the worst is still Foot of the Mountains. Now I say that with the caveat that I loved every second of it from the beginning. When the content loop was:
1. Talk to a girl, get story moment.
2. Talk to girl again, get a further story moment
3. Talk to girl again, get an alternative story moment.

There was a great loop of scenes changing depending on how many times you did them. At first it was a 1 to 1 ratio or similar. What changed is when the loop became:
1. Talk to girl 10 times to get enough points to unlock new story.
2. Talk to girl for new minor scene.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 for another girl.

Then it turned from the unenviable situations right above and changed to:
1. Go through empty days for weeks until you get enough relationship points to unlock ONE variety of content.
2. Play new scene and be dissatisfied.
3. Do it again for hours of mind numbing repetitive repetitions

Then the nail in the coffin was the unavoidable NTR/Rape.

The game did what most bad games with little content could only dream of.
1. It set a great expectation
2. Crushed them and the players into dust through wasted time and effort
3. And killed the interesting story and Love Interests with forced content.

It truly was a game of all time. Absolute trash and I would never recommend anyone play it. I'd rather play any trash VN for 5 hours than the same amount of time I spent in my apartment in university clicking "Skip hour/day" all those years ago...

hah, that's all so so true. it's difficult to even imagine ways how foot of the mountains could've been worse.

but man, that ass on Melinda...that's why we kept clicking through the infuriating game in hopes that we finally get to it. the game is a prime example how powerful engaging mechanic frustration is. now if someone would make a game where everything is done right while still inducing the same level of frustration, paired with rewards that would make it worth it, now that would be an epic game.

I mean if you compare something like paradise lust to FOTM, the first thing that's apparent is how empty and pointless a polished but unchallenging game can be in comparison. those easy mode games where all challenge is removed and the player is treated like a mentally deficient child, who needs to be lead by a hand AND in addition told what to do next, they just lose all capability of engaging the player. everything LOOKS nice and professional, but there's no 'there' there. as absurd as it is, games like FOTM work massively better than polished but hollow games where the lack of frustration becomes the frustrating aspect.

but again, there's no reason why a game couldn't take the best of both worlds. we just haven't seen it yet.

I don't know man, I've never played Paradise Lust, but I can't imagine FOTM beats it in anyway. You could have the hottest girlfriend in the world, but if she fucks another guy behind your back it's over. FOTM did that to you multiple times metaphorically and in Melinda's case, literally.

While I think Melinda is one of the best milfs on the site, it doesn't matter if the Dev decided to poison her for all to see. A game that has this game beat in terms of milfs is Away From Home where the Aunt, Mom and Neighbor are pretty much the same quality as Melinda, but better cause of lack of terrible systems and NTR.

On the subject of "unchallenging games", I think it depends on what you want. Why would I waste my time playing a game that makes me work for hours to unlock any real content. In a story game/VN, the character's journey isn't "easy" rather we have to discover the story through the main route and simple decisions we make. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with games that don't challenge you. If I wanted that, I'd play Dark Souls/Eldin Ring. Sandboxes in my opinion are outdated. There will never come a time where they will be back in style because of the issues a game like FOTM did. The only Sandbox types games I thought were good, where games that had dedicated and great Devs. The Headmaster still has an incredible level of quality and consistent content. Man of the House is probably the best sandbox game ever made. And the game Milfy City, regardless of how you feel about the Dev, had incredible content and a non-annoying sandbox.

All in all, I'd take any game to FOTM and that's why I'd put it as my worst ever. What do you have? Maybe you can show me exactly what you mean when you say "hollow" :)

yeah but, I mean, you DID DO exactly that with FOTM, right? at any point you could've stopped, but you kept on clicking aaallll the way through that mess. you hated every second of it, but you still kept clicking on. that didn't happen by accident, the game in its infuriating way MADE you feel compelled to come back. it WORKED.

(I use the word 'accident' very loosely here, because I don't think the dev made any of his awful choices deliberately, it wasn't some genius plan to string you along with negative experiences. he didn't have a clue of what he was doing, and the power of engagement was born completely without his knowledge. which is kinda my point here about the power of frustration.)

I already gave the 'hollow' example in paradise lust . it's an insanely well made game (in this porn game category) with beautiful art and girls. anyone who hasn't tried it should definitely check it out.

I don't remember any names for the worst ones, but I do remember how one game was SO bad it made laugh all the way through and kept me coming back just to see what awful things the new updates spawned to curse the world. I wish I did because it was hilarious. and it wasn't even like I was hate-playing it, the game was just so bizarrely bad you could do nothing but laugh in complete amazement.

Was it Panic Attack? That was exactly my approach to that game, I just had to keep coming back to see what crazy garbage the dev added this time.

Karryn's prison
Seeing the sex scenes with the uncanny, grotesque alien anatomy felt like I'm being punished for something which only few games manage. It gives you specific incentive to stop playing, to not succeed gameplay challenges so you're spared of seeing any more of them.
Like a skinners box except all buttons lead to the floor giving you electric shocks.

The very first version of my game, almost 4 months before I created the dev thread here. It was atrocious and the only thing it had was the apartment. The map wasn't even ready.

Not that the version I uploaded here months later was better, the UI was frankly bad, very basic, I didn't even had portrait dialog boxes or the font/color scheme of the game. Thankfully I waited a whole year before launching officially here.

I don't stumbled to a bad game yet, I guess I had a good taste or I had a bad taste that I don't even know it's a trash.

Well, it didn't work because it was my own determination, not the great content that kept me going. :ROFLMAO:

I'll check out Paradise Lust then :) Though it's weird to call such a good game "hollow"

Horrible engrish and on top of that it was nonsensical. IIRC it started off with a brother and sister having sex and then, immediately after that it seemed to flip back to the brother and sister flirting and working up to doing something. But it wasn't a flashback or a time jump, it was literally the same scene. Almost as if the renders were out of order. Subpar HS renders as well.

Easily one of the worst. How bad is it? They somehow managed to fuck up Honey Select. I don't know how or why they did it, but it looks orders of magnitude worse than stock Honey Select. They spent EFFORT making it look that bad.

Plus after giving it a good roasting over just how bad it all was (and 4 single star votes would seem to agree with me), the dev tried to start a slap fight with me in the comments and was entirely oblivious to actual state of the visual abortion they had created, so this one has stuck in my memory.

I have not played your game so I cannot comment on it, but they have been going 5 1/2 years and you have been going 4 months.

Thank you for your answer, I'm going off topic; do you think that having only 1 game and 4 months of existence (9 months in reality) prevents people from sponsoring my story?
