VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Lewd Island [S2 Day 13 v1.00] [xRed Games]

A great erotic concept, the stranded trope is a tricky one to pull off. A man and a woman fucking on an island gets old fast: the excitement lies in the mounting sexual tension that eventually brings them together. The writing has to be top notch to keep it both interesting and believable. Therefore however enticing the idea is, it's rarely tackled as a porn game and those attempts that were made ended up pretty lacklustre.

Lewd Island is one of the more successful assaults on this fortress, yet still falls quite short of greatness. On the positive side, the incest hook adds a little spice and the game used to generate visuals seems well suited to the genre, allowing for some sexy scenarios. The girl looks pretty enough, even if the abundance of make-up is a little silly given the context.

It's the writing, most crucial for the setting, that brings this game down. While there are a few interesting ideas being thrown around, the tension that should bring the concept to life is just not there. The dialogue is wordy and tedious, emotions are all over the place and rarely make sense, and most damning the writing frequently loses sight of the setting and falls back on tired clichés: suitcases wash ashore filled with sexy outfits, dug up magic potions generate lust and the girl insists on having her first kiss after a romantic diner in a conveniently discovered red cocktail dress. Random endless dream sequences don't help the pacing much either. The sex scenes themselves finally are rare and way too basic to cover for the lack of arousal generated by the writing, if you can find them in the first place as the wrong choice can lock you out if you're not careful.

Still worth a quick playthrough as the initial experience is exciting enough to be enjoyable, but too superficial for a deeper engagement. Three out of five.

Review Season 1

Recently I play a couple of island and survival themed games so I give it a try, the other games delivery what one was expecting with worse graphics but this one not, I love reading novels and slow pace games, but with the pace of time, I have enough, so the last 2 days I skip the most, it feel like reading the novel or manga I usually drop, and the story ruin the slow pace game. I believe that the fact of make the experience with days focus in only 1 character you need make her or him special if not is better a week sort of a game with more visual progress so the writing feel unique for his existence and not a filler.

Season 1 Review
I really wanted to like this game but the plot and bad characters totally killed it for me.
The MC just sets up every possible bad outcome there is with no chance for the player to avoid anything besides gameover options.
This effectivly turns the protagonist into the games actual antagonist purely by being a careless and naive stupid fuck.
The alcohol/drug was obviously gonna lead to a disaster and that was obvious from the moment of the realisation of its existance.
Same goes for the gun altough I had some hope it would be used to avoid a disaster but with how retarded the MC is that was a long shot and ofcourse I was proven right when a distraught female convinces you to hand over the gun to the apparent badguys with a simple nod, the same people the MC and even the female suspects but makes no further inquiry then asking how they found the Island.
The whole story leaves the player feeling helpless and uttetly idiotic if you engage in any immersion whatsoever.
If any bad events are going to occur it might be good to make tem less obvious then an elephant in your livingroom.

This was a huge dissapointment as the initial story is very good, and so is the English.
Ontop of that the renders and sex-scenes are pretty solid aswell, except for the first vaginal penetration that takes place in complete darkness..

If the plot wad better thought through and the player had some meaningful choices to prevent or navigate the disasters that'd be so much better.
Instead you have to go aloing with making every possivle misstake there is on the Island.

In simpler terms I would rate this game as follows.
Story 0/5
Characters 0/5
Dialogue 1/5
Graphics 4/5
Choices 1/5

Season 2 Review
Edit after starting season 2 all the aspects of season 1just became much worse.
The MC decides to tell the now confirmed plotting "bad guys" everything they want to know freely, while acting like a submissive pussy.
And so much for worrying about the female and trying to make it up to her and keep her safe, you yell her nothing about your discoveries regarding the "rescuers" and their lies.
Theycould obviously be a threat to both of you but instead MC just keeps taking evey chance to say everything she wont listen too about his feelings and how sorry he is.. Then the first day on the boat you decide its a good idea to get a blowjob from the first willing whore without the player having any say in the matter, proving the female to be right about the MC all along
(Not that there were much doubt).

Ratings
Story 0/5
Characters 0/5
Dialogue 0/5
Graphics 4/5
Choices 0/5

Overall score down to 1 from the previous score of 2.

Ps as there is no NTR tag i thought Id warn about this, there is numberous conversations and fantasies of the love interest with other men in season 1 and as of season 2 there is also unavoidable sex scenes with other men.

[Review of Season 1 and S2 Day 11 v1.1]

TL;DR
Download it and enjoy the sex scenes, there is a lot of good fapping material. But do not expect a coherent story based on your choices or engaging characters personalities.

REVIEW
I think this game is a missed opportunity for the developer, I would give it 3.5/5, but this is not a 4 star game (at the moment). The setting and the base idea could have lead to more interesting scenarios but the plot itself has been reserved very little effort.
The first part of the game, Season 1, is completed, I've played all the scenes and what bothers me is that most choices have no consequences at all, most of your choices are not registered by the software, so basically you can treat the girl badly for the first days, offend her and you'll get mostly the same dialogues (and all the scenes) as if you were totally friendly to her. If you look at the walk-through by the developer you'll notice that 95% of choices do not matter. So there are no different paths, just a sequence of scenes that you can view at your choice. I prefer VN where characters have a memory and the whole story unfolds differently based on what you say or do, not just a single scene.
You can try to rape her so she gets angry, she hates you and then she'll completely forget in the following scene two hours later during a romantic date, getting you the same choices as if you acted romantically.

Season 2 is now at the very beginning, the choices you made in Season 1 are not considered at all (the games starts from zero, old saves are not loaded). But I already see that most choices are not saved in variables, so the S2 could inherit the same problems of S1. I hope the developer has a clear idea where the story is going and gives us different plots according to the previous choices we made. Hey dev, storing variables is not a waste of space!

Graphics: very good
Models: Good
Fapping material: very good
Story: poorly developed
Dialogues: insufficient
Eroticism: fine
Sex scenes: very good
Animations: very good
Bugs: very few, just concerning wrong names in dialogues

Review for S2 Day 11 v1.1

Is a good game but doesn't quite hit the mark for me.

Story: Good 4/5
Originality: Good 4/5
Renders: Good 4/5
Sound: No 0/5
Playability: Okay 3/5
Performance: Good 4/5
Bugs: I didn't experience any 5/5
Animations: Good 3/5
Voice Acting: No 0/5
Grammar: Good 4/5
Amount of content: Okay 2/5

My main dislikes no sound and no scene replay feature.

Very average game. 3 out of 5 imo.
Nothing special.
But not bad either.
Renders look weirdly out of focus.
The girl looks like a default model from some program.
The dialogue isn't very interesting and I found myself quickly just spamming spacebar through it.

Imo not worth the download and playthrough, but not a straight up horrible game either. Can improve with time.

As a fan of this type of games (surviving on abandoned island etc.), I must say, I am very surprised how good time I had playing this game (Season 1).. Quality of renders is on very good level, animations are good as well. Story though... Firstly I must say that this type of games has tendency to fall into stereotype, day after day doing same things and being repetetive. Not this game. Daily progress is unique every day. Also I must praise story and character development, this isn't just "Oh, we are on the island, lets do it!" but rather inclines on slower progress and getting on with characters. Also whole concept of the lab rats on island is interesting. The only thing that didn't convince me, more like disappointed me, was the final day. Overall, I like the game so far and devs are doing amazing job. 8,5/10.

The story is way too obvious, with only two possible routes which you will guess quite early on.

The narrator is more annoying than good.

There are lots and lots of "choices" in the game but apart from avoiding a game over or seeing a quick scene they don't do anything to change the relationship between them or alter the game in anyway and as soon as you start season 2 they all become meaningless.

Most of the time the characters wont do anything that you would consider normal and both act as if they have never spent any time around another human being before.

She is quite bratty at the start then very annoying and unlikeable later on(also a huge hypocrite), MC is nothing special, he's not a boring simp which is a nice change but he could use some personality.



The art is good and the sex(when you get any) is also well done with some very smooth animations.

For a game that hyped me up, it sure was disappointing... good lewd content is next to minimal. Story is not entertaining to play, further more its quite annoying having to read such bitchy reactions at all times.

Commended for still continuing development despite hiccups, problems and lots of delays. Slow and steady is better than abandoning! Visuals are still great, scenes are exciting - the overall story is not the best, kind of makes it lose track from time to time, but everything else is absolutely great.

Have been playing and keeping watch since this story/game started, as it stands now considering it is going on three years, it is not worth the download. At the start it was updates in days, then it changed to parts of a day. Talk about milking the patrons, that really was insulting to see. So little has been done in all this time it is a wonder there are patrons who support it. I mean three years almost. The story is not original, the characters are ok but nothing special and the animations are not anything to boast about. Milking is what is happening here. I suggest supporting much better games and Devs that go out of there way to get content in there games in much less time than this one. Anyone supporting this is just plainly a sucker.

I played and waited until i couldnt take it anymore. Why?

The relatioship builds slowly and theres only one game, despite the "choices", the only perk of some choices is having some picture or animation, but the choices that can chage the course of the game are game over, so the rest dont matter. So you actually have to move the mouse to make pointless choices. Lucky for you theres no faping in this game so this is forgiveable...

Theres a lot of things that seems to be improvised and implemented in the spot with almost no thinking. Like
The fact that they didint find anything in the island for a week and they go scavenging and find all sorts of items and tools in places they already had visited...

Also theres some scenes where you see an image that its suposed to represent a moment and the narrator is the one that decides what happens and ow much time that moment takes. So if you are wearing a full plate armour and the narrator says you are feeling a wet pussy in your leg, you shut up and believe it.

To this writing disaster, i would add the default fake tits every woman has that in this game, with nipples that are small and positioned 3 inches out of place, like in a bad surgery.

Knowing all this I still kept playing it until one specific scene after the scav hunt where you are offered going peek on Bella. She confronts you about the fact that the lust is taking over and you only want to fuck her. Its more than infuriating seeing the game shaming you for making the only choices it allows you to make to get something out of it (cause theres nothing besides peeking, really) and after that rewarding you with a game over.

Cause theres no affection in the game. Any show of affection, the MC (which doesnt seem to know that females have breasts and you may feel them during hugs) will turn it into a creep teenage moment (tits im getting hard! tits im getting hard!).
So yeah, lust is taking over cause your writing sucks and thats everything you allow to trascend. Why would the game remember the nice words, the love and respect in all my pointless replies to her, when it can remember the lust?

If you can endure Cringy perv moments taking over everything, and frustration, this game is good, it has some nice dialogues, too bad that they dont make any difference at all.

EDIT for S2 1.21.
The game loses the shit that had the first part, and in my opinion becomes more tolerable in a sense. This gets balanced with the flashback story that its like JJ Abrams trying to fix star wars. At least in ym opinion i think it gets t fix it. The NTR out of nowhere scene during the flashback i would include it as part of a consecuence to something, like every other scene where something similar may happen or may be hinted, like when she gets drunk and you get the option of carrying her.
In that case you know the black dude is a piece of shit, and the mc knows it also, so if you leave her there, you know the dangers.

The "romance" or "protector" route offers payoff. Sex scene is quite good actually.
The NTR path, its clearly below in quality, which is weird, it must be the first game where this happens. It offers more, but less intense and with less work put into it, and much less payoff for the player.
In the end S1 being trash, helps making S2 better, storywise, since there is an arc.
Season1 is still 1 star cause its frustrating and is trash, but S2 so far its a 3,5 cause the actions have somehow logic consecuences. The only bad thing is the flashbacks, its quite tedious to read, and the main ntr scene that is average, way inferior to the vanilla.

Survival setting is very cool in this game it was something new for me. The major factor in this game that you like it the concept of the game. The concept is corrupting an innocent spoiled girl. Renders are nice the main girl is pretty and cute.

It's a decent VN, very interesting story. I love the renders of the daughter even though it's recycled from other games, the spelling and wording is kinda off for a native english speaker so sometimes it's just kinda stupid sounding. Good game nonetheless, looking forward to the next season I guess.

Pretty good story, great modeling, animation are good as well. I got into the story quite well. Not that I didn't skip through dialogue ever, but I was curious what alternative paths would bring me, making me save and go back to certain stages.

i had played this game two years ago, it was promising, it had its charm and after a long break i'm sad to see it has become quite the bore-fest. the dialogs are not interesting or funny at all (contrary to what the dev seems to think, judging from the multitude of lame wisecracks and cringy puns), the daughter has become far too bitchy and dominant for my liking. also her banter and her command over old jargon and slang is very unrealistic for a girl her age, another thing that breaks immersion. animations are mediocre, sound except the waves crashing the shore effect is almost non-existent. story is lacking any trace of originality. secret sinister organizations and using drugs to corrupt female characters have long been overdone in adult games. since not a lot of effort had to be put into the characters' looks and the scenery always being the same, except some dream sequences, one would expect more from other departments. at its current stage however, the game is a disappointment.

Starting off, I have a soft spot for this female character model because of DMD. You can't use it and not have the inevitable comparisons especially with the genre of this game.
When I play a game I try not to immediately disregard it because it has fetishes or kinks I don't personally enjoy and also try to take each game as what it is and how it's developed.
I will do my best not to heap on my personal expectations on a game I'm not in any way developing just because it's not being made how "I" prefer. The characters are who they are, the story is how it is and all I can do is see if I can enjoy it for what it is.
MC = Main Character (us pervs)
Bella = love interest. Since her default name is Bella I left it as such here. You can always change it though and I highly recommend you do.
That being said... (spoilers ahead).

TL;DR - Takes some getting used to but it develops nicely and the characters seem to have depth - even if they may not 'behave' how people complain they should. The 'spiked' drinks are a nice touch for development and although I'm annoyed at the cliffhanger I want to learn more of the story and . That, the animations and the slow but powerful buildup between the MC and Bella really works well if you're looking for a game with a good mix between story and sex scenes. If you do the right things you can even get some very juicy scenes faster than you would have thought.

This is a really great game and I'm patiently waiting for season 2.
Yes, development times aren't all that pleasant but I think it's worth waiting for.

The characters become more and more fleshed out and even though Bella is a completely spoiled bitch in the beginning she develops throughout the story. The MC is well.. You, you goddamned pervs, so of course there's no real development.
In the beginning I thought there was no story going to be involved with this game and that it would be a simple seduce your 'roomie' day by day until you succeeded and tapped that voluptuous ass. Thankfully there were subtle hints dropped here and there (I have my own theories as to what happened to the MC and Bella) and it's developed in an interesting direction.

Visually I'm impressed. I like the animations and you can see some real effort is put into some of them in the later chapters at about Day 7 I believe (if not a bit earlier but I can't fully recall) - I really like the one of Bella winking at you. It's sweet and unexpected but really endearing giving her more depth so she's not some cock-hungry slut which you can find in plenty of other games.
And believe me those are fun as well but Bella is her own version of.. Well.. cock-hungry slut but with a good heart and seriously tsunami-style vagina. I mean damn! She's wetter than the fucking ocean around them! Or is it a sea? I wasn't paying attention because of dat ass.

I actually got used to the sound of the waves and at times it was a little-bit jarring when the sound stopped for dreams or "meanwhile" scenes. etc. Did the developer put in some post-hypnotic sounds and suggestions into that white noise? It probably says things like, "Be patient! Releases are coming!"

Overall I like this game. The first few days I think are kind of boring but only when I was playing through them. Now that I got past them and finished this season I can see how they subtly build up the story, situation, mental development (and I guess physical as well) of the relationship between MC and Bella.
Lots of little touches of foreshadowing here and there which I like and get my noggin' a joggin' with what's going on and where things are leading.
And I think I'm done there. Overall I really suggest trying it out and getting to at least Day 7. Do yourself a favour and get to Day 10 for some feels and then crushing, crushing pain.
It's not what you want - for that you'll need to make your own game - but if you play it for what it is, accept the world and the characters for who they are (try some of that suspension of belief thing you do when you watch anime or Netflix or movies or read or fantasize in your mind) then you will be pleasantly surprised by how good it can get.

Now to find patience for season 2. What do you think, sissy HTML games or ntr VisNovs? Eh maybe both.

Oh! As always if you enjoy the work, support the Dev if you can afford it! I'm not rich but from time to time I tip coffees to NOPY for hosting files and Devs for creating content. I understand the situation in the world right now so only do so if you know you can! Don't risk it if you shouldn't! And be safe all.

Potential for a great visual novel. Early on the author had ridiculous moments, but there was an improvement between Chapter 6 to 10. However(!), it has taken 2 years to do 3 scenes with the girl, lots of short releases and very far between. Hard to recommend to support on Patreon as I think there are lots of options for the same sort of genre (IE Perv Daddy wants to bang Daughter) to choose from with the same average renders. Not only that, the author has now released the game as a season after 2 years. Last I understood a season is one years worth of production. Hard to comprehend, hope the best for the creator and stopped any support on Patreon.

EDIT:
I tried Season 2 of the game. I will maintain my previous score. Seems like the dev has fallen back to old ways of short releases at long intervals. I will say that between days 7 to 10 the dev did put work in and produced lots of content. I know some people do this as a second job, but a bit of communication goes a long way.

Unfortunately, what is more disappointing is the quality of renders is worse now due to what appears to be poor lighting, material/texture setup and low samples/over use of denoiser. It would be great if the dev got back on track to his last few releases in Season 1 where you could see they were improving their quality.

This new season has branched off to a yacht with some new faces and no longer on the island. Shame, because this could have been lewd "Lost" where new characters could have been introduced progressively to the island where you could try to manage multiple love interests, corruption or sharing routes, all while trying to figure out why you are on this island.

I hate to be harsh, but the rest of the characters are just awful. The silly green haired dude, the cheesy tattoos on the captain and those ugly side chicks, all look to be rushed character designs. The one blonde girl looks fine, but the rest just ruin it.

In terms of story, its too early for season 2 to judge. The dev decided to add some cheating which naturally causes debates. Personally, I would have preferred a share/corruption option instead of what was implemented.

At least its not abandoned though and I wish the dev luck to keep going.

when i first saw this game it didn't interest me plus i also heard that the game used existing models instead of creating them his/her/themself's the female model looks almost the same as the daughter of [dating my daughter] so it's probably the same model just some tweaks to make her look a little different so at first i just ignored it then about a year later i was looking for porn games that had great cunnilingus/ facesitting scenes and i found a playthrough on pornhub and i was just like holy shit these are some of the best cunnilingus/facesitting scenes i've ever seen in a porn game so i started the game thinking it was just gonna be a story about a father and a daughter stranded on a island trying to survive and somehow falling in love and having some really hot cunnilingus/facesitting scenes but the more i played it the more it came apparent that something was going on in the background that was slowly building up which i will not spoil and i was falling in love with the character's and their relationship the creator of this game might not have made their own models he/she makes up with with the script these are some of the best written and hottest dialoge i've ever seen in a porn game like damn the creator knows how to write erotic scenes it starts slowly but it builds up and more and more hot sexual scenes where beggining to happen day 9 is the best day in my opinion the amount of different scenes you can get on day 9 is honestly insane so many choices so many different sex scenes anyway at the now end of the game it became something much more than you might think while seeing the images or plaing the game for the first few days also it's now called season 1 so i hope the developer keeps making the game until the story is finished what began as a porn game that i ignored that looked boring and blant turned into on of the best porn games i've ever played in my opinion

Long slow burn but so worth the wait! Best animations for a game of this type. Try it, you won't regret it. Can't wait for next version!

Dev, please let us know if you start on another game or start to work with another group. Your talents are appreciated!!!!
