New Thread Ratings

I love the version on UE 4 it is great and fun. I hate that they have pretty much stopped developing it and left it Dev hell while focussing on the UE5 version which I am calling Carnal Instinct 2 in my head since there are a LOT of differences between the two. The map is different, the start is pretty good in CI1 but is dog water is CI2 also for some weird reason this is yet another porn that has decided it needs a platforming section to further the story.
Whether one handed or not there are people like me that dispise platforming because we suck at it.

So TLDR: UE4 version is awesome (CI1) UE5 version is needs ALOT of work

I've been playing this for many years, never bothered to leave a review but I just happened to notice today that the average rating here is 2,5 stars which is absolutely preposterous, so I decided to chime in to bring a bit of common sense to these reviews.

As a prelude I have to mention that obviously this is a text-based game, meaning it's mostly content that you read, there's no animations or anything like that. If that's not your thing this game is not for you.

Art: 5/5

Only 2D art here, no animations, but it's incredibly high quality, has variations depending on in-game events (pregnancy and so on) and very consistent.

Music: 0/5

There's none which is bit of a shame but there are some ideas here about what kind of music you might use while playing:

Gameplay/UI: 3/5

The game is mostly played with some fairly standard RPG mechanics: you create your character, level up, learn skills and so on. Different builds are possible and there's quite a lot of content, the UI feels pretty polished and intuitive overall. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but gets the job done to keep things interesting in between sexual content.

Story/Writing: 4/5

It varies greatly depending on the writer (there's many that worked on this game over the years, but the main story (which I won't spoil here) is solid although progress on it has been pretty slow.

Conclusion: 5/5

Overall this game is far from perfect but here's the main strength of this game: it has been in development for years and has an absurd amount of content. I don't know how long it would take to read all of it because I never did, maybe 100h? 200h?

The point is yes some of the writing is poor quality let's be honest, but the game is massive and open-world, meaning you can just stick to the content you personally like, and trust me there's something for everyone in this game. It's not one of those VN games where you're forced to sit through all of the content in chronological order.

For example I like futa so I mainly checked out the futa characters and those alone were like 15-20h of content easily. So what I recommend is play the intro to get a feel for the game and once you're free to move on the map you can check out the wiki to see which characters you want to see and focus on those:

https://wiki.smutosaur.us/CoC2/Main_Page

Also the writer's name is somewhere in the corner during each scene so if there's one you particularly enjoy you might want to check out the other characters from the same writer.

Short HRPG with CGs that on top of being good are also animated. As far as gameplay goes it's pretty straight forward and you'd have to make an effort to lose battles.

Sadly this game doesn't really cater to me but I'd recommend you if you're looking for a short game protagonized by a busty loli and pretty well made CGs.

This is a very enjoyable game. I like the dialogue and the characters look really attractive. I think this has a lot of potential for a non shitty ending, but sad to see it get abandoned..I hope the developer picks it up again.

The game is fundamentally flawed in design. If this had been a visual novel where you could just click your way through the dialogue, then the game would easily get at least a 4/5. But unfortunately, it's a complete disaster. Once you get to the later stages, all you're doing is basically blindly following the quest instructions anyway ("Be at X location during Y time, when Z is there.") This is problematic though because there really is nothing else to do in the meantime, so you're forced to just click your way to your room, to your bed, to skip the day(s), until you can continue the quest. And sometimes the quests overlap and so you have to do only one of them, then skip multiple days to do the other one.

You may ask yourself why anyone would design the game this way. It's because the idea was so that you can "progress" each girl whenever you want, meaning that in the time where you can't complete quests, you can then have fun with the girls. Sounds good in theory, but it's done terribly in practice: the girl progression makes little to no sense at all. For example, after having 'steamy hot anal sex' with Yuki, you can still only raise her lust value by doing "light bondage in the school", which is one of the first things you do with Yuki way at the beginning. And no, the writing doesn't progress as you progress, which means that Yuki still acts during those light bondage scenes as if you had just met her a few days ago. Besides, how does it make sense that literally SEX doesn't raise lust, but being spanked does?

On that note, excessive spanking. Virtually every scene contains spanking. And it's manual, with boring dialogue. Don't get me wrong, I like spanking chicks too, but does it really have to be every single scene?

All the choices are illusions also. They have little to no impact and you're forced to go through them anyway. You can't for example progress with Heather unless you go through dozens of foot fetish scenes that are not skippable either. Don't like feet? Too bad. And you can't progress the main story unless you progress with Heather. So there you go, forced foot fetish in a game "about choice".

I could go on and on, but I'll end on the music being repetitive, overused and boring. The only thing that salvages this game is that I like the male-dom BDSM-oriented sex scenes. That's it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Gave it 5 stars not because its perfect but that its truly impressive and the developer did a great job! All round great product!

Pros:

1. Great models
2. Animations are good
3. Story is interesting, initially simple and then starts to take off a bit.
4. Dialogue is good, script has thought put into it, grammar, spelling etc are very good.
5. Dynamic between characters feels good, its not forced and characters feel natural.
6. Some good humour, not forced, over the top, vulgar BS, just natural.
7. Being able to choose relation to main characters

Cons:

1. None so far, apart from asking for more updates ! Cant wait to see how it unfolds

Request:

1. Decent variety of kinks / tags would be nice, there appears to be a lot of potential here

So disappointed… this VN is getting awfully boring since the last 4/5 chapters, nothing is happening, they’re only walking and talking, and thinking too, MC thinks a lot, he thinks while he’s walking, he thinks while he’s talking, he thinks while he’s f… well, you get the idea, he spends his days thinking and the dev enjoys showing us those useless thoughts though they add nothing to the story. So, they walk and they chit-chat, that’s all, nothing else. Sometimes they fuck too, they have to because they need to entertain the readers, but they do it like they have a chore to do, no build-up, no foreplay, just one position and it’s already over.

I used to really enjoy this VN to be honest, it was in my top 20, but not anymore, I now have to skip MC’s thoughts all the time and even some long and boring discussions because they are just some idle chit-chat about life, pregnancy, parenting, power, ecclesiarchy, etc. Chapter 22 is when I skipped the most, it was just a repeat of what they had already discussed before, and it ended up with yet another boring missionary sex scene which was supposed to be the MC taking the virginity of one of his two LIs (yeah, don’t ask me, after 22 chapters there are only 2 LIs, the other 2 girls are interested in each other only).

Don’t get me wrong, we still learned a few things over the last chapters (only a few though, the rest are just theories), but what we learned was definitely not worth 4/5 chapters, everything could have easily fitted into one single chapter. I ended getting the very bad feeling that the dev was trying to build way more chapters than he intended to at the beginning, filling them with useless and boring talks and thoughts (and very few renders). It’s sad to see that this VN had a great potential but is now in the wait-and-see category, the category we don’t expect anything anymore from, the category we don’t impatiently wait for the next chapter to be released anymore.

I just hope Pandaman Games will wake up soon from his lethargy and make his story captivating again and also make the MC more involved in it because at this point he’s just a vegetative human-being who spends his days listening, thinking, and waiting for the next day to do the same again and again.

First off, I want to praise the game for being compact in size (<100MB), which seems to be a rarity these days. Though, this is of course just a detail. More importantly, the art style is fairly charming and all the sex scenes are done well and feel satisfying.

Each girl is somewhat unique and interesting. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the progression system. It functions identically for each girl: text in class -> meet after school -> move to hideout -> ending. This makes the game feel rather repetitive despite being a very short experience as is.

The translations were good enough to get the point across and the writing wasn't lengthy, which I like. Another good point is that you basically get to sex immediately, once you figure out the controls. This however brings me to the biggest downside, as others have already pointed out. The UI is terrible. It's one of those cases where prioritising aesthetics has hindered the functionality of the game.

Very often, you'll be fiddling around the screen, trying to figure out what to do. For example, it took me quite a while in the very beginning to realise that I can click on the MC to reach the bubble "Text her." Likewise, at another point, you're required to have sex with a certain girl in a very specific manner in order to progress, and none of it is clarified whatsoever.

Lastly, despite of finishing the main three lines and unlocking the 4P mode, I still haven't found out how to save your progress―and whether that's even possible at all, which should tell you just how bad the UI design is. Overall though, I can't completely knock the game since you're basically done with it in like 2-3h anyway. So it's a fun, very short experience with some minor frustrations along the way.

Well for me this game was 3.5 rounded up to 4.

Pros:
Good art, even though I don't like hentai style that much.
Fluid animations
Decent setting
Seamless dungeon gameplay

Cons:
Dungeon grind doesn't achieve that much? All those upgrades for what?
Much more texty than needed for a porn game
It is kinda vanilla for this much lewd focus
Even though setting is good plot is kinda quirky

v0.10 REMASTERED Part II

This game feels buggy. I'm not sure if it is, but it never prompted for name even if it probably was supposed to ("Hi, my name is Player" everywhere), the quest guide was always a step or two ahead of whatever you were supposed to do, the navigation tutorial was pretty much "blind guess which button takes you to auditorium, I'll let you know if you get it right"... The MC went to a 0 minutes sleep a few times (???), then there comes a sex scene (with not much instruction on how they operate, but that wasn't hard to figure out)... and it is then night and you're supposed to head to lecture in morning. Some blind guessing led me to the clock, and nothing happened at 06:00... Moving clock to 12:00 on auditorium made... the results of a test?? At that point I was already fed up with the game, and it wasn't even twenty minutes (15 minutes fiddling with interface, trying to figure out where tf things were).

Lets ignore stuff like Codex button doing nothing, save button giving no feedback whatsoever (but working, at least, with a single slot), combat apparently possible with a button in the HUD... Except it made no sense at all; what was that button for? Where am I? So yes. If they can't be bothered to make a half-decent prologue, why should I be bothered to play it without a walkthrough? At this point you need the walkthrough for basic operation. Hard pass.

Note: First time playing this game, there's obviously no "previous data" the other reviews mention. I can't understand how anyone can get past the first day. The bugs and issues gave me nightmares IRL. If you haven't downloaded this one yet, don't bother, you'll only stress yourself.

Story starts out fine in season one but from season 2 it just gets to boring.

Game is very repetitive which you kinda would expect from being a groundhog dag plot, but its a bit to much of the same dialogs over and over, so it really gets boring pretty fast.

The the other thing is that the game is all out kinetic just hiding it behind a sandbox...i wish devs would learn to put in kinetic tag even if it is a sandbox since not all are kinetic like this one.

That also means LIs are forced on you, same with kinks and fetishes and to me thats one of the biggest turn-offs, when you can pick who to fuck since not everyone is into mother/son sex or big tits or loli and so on.

Like i said its a sandbox game and its one of worst types where you have no freedom at all, you just follow the kinetic set questline which makes the hole point of sandbox pointless and a waste of time, its so bad that even questlines are tied together so you cant progress untill you have done everything with every girl, so you truely have 0 controle over anything when it comes to relationships.

MC is also the type i truely hate, hes very childish and absolutly brainless and add to that massive pervert, playing him is just not fun and that alone ruins alot of the story and game.
MC dosent make sense either, first he meets a girl in the pool and just from putting hes hand on her bikini touching tits MC cums..??? i mean either he has a serious problem or its just idiotic and yeah its just idiotic since a min later he fucks her fine, which makes 0 sense since he should cum before even putting it in, its just a very weird game.

Girls 4/5
I liked the look for the girls and theres a bit of diversity in builds as well so thats all good.

Animations 3/5
Pretty standard stuff nothing special.

Music 3/5
Average background music.

Sandbox and Choices 1/5
Its kinetic hidden behind being a sandbox game, you have no freedom other then follow the quests and since they are tied together you cant skip someone you hate either.

I love the game. The characters are beautful and have great personalities. It doesnt contain a single character that is unatractive or unlikable which is a rarity. I've revisted this game after ever update since it dropped and there is never any mistep. Dev keep up the good work, you'redoing great.

It was good at the start, but got practically butchered in the middle. Even the harem ending didn't save this shit And that's just plotwise. The minigames are a letdown too. For instance, trying to beat the main one in the last days is practically impossible. The drinking one is just braindead. My best guess is that the dev just forgot that different difficulty levels should have correcponding rewards. Otherwise its meaningless to even make them, if I can just choose the easiest one and get the same result. The one with the fliers would have been a good one, if not for the fact that you need to (a) buy every single try

Very bad game.

First of the story is just boring and nothing interesting happens.

The dialogue has typos and just isn´t fun too read.

The UI is ugly and way too small.

There is only music in the titel not in the game which is just garbage and makes the game feel empty and emotionless.

The sex sound effects are annoying.

The art and animation are both meh sometimes even just bad, and the moments where the faces have no eyes is just creepy and ugly, I don´t mind if the MC has no eyes but at least don´t make him look in the camera with short hair so you can exactly see how eyeless he is.

The characters are, boring, but in the end I even disliked emma and yuji, because of how they treated suvi which I don´t think was intented, not that I like suvi she is boring too.

The "few moments later" "few days later" are way too often and just feel cheap and annoying, the effect was way too overused.

And the relationship happens way too fast so I couldn´t connect with any of it.


I wouldn´t recommend playing it.

If you want to play as a girl in a sandbox game, this is the best choice for you.

I only mention disadvantages because I really can't find another female-protagonist game like this:

1. You need to be used to the QSP engine. It will be very annoying when you firstly play a QSP game compared to Renpy, HTML, RPGM, or others.

2. This game is very grindy, like real daily life. Drink, eat, sleep, go to school, get ready for the period, etc. So don't hesitate to cheat to improve your looks, skills, somethings else before you quitting. Or you can disable some daily routines, like eating or drinking, even sleeping.

3. Some people may hate the game at first, because they don't know what to do and get frustrated due to some many options. But you can give it a second or third chance. Like I said, this is literally the best sandbox game in terms of female protagonist.

4. It's hard to be a prude in this game. You can try to be a good girl, but this is a porn game after all, and there are too many random events. It's more likely a "slutty girl life" than a "GIRL life"

5. Apply the biological intelligence to getting used to the changing avatars or images from various real pornographies. Imagination can make the game much more interesting.

Is a good dinamic history (for a sex game), with good choises that don't punish, but just delay the sex stuff in order to proceed the plot. The images and the girls are beatiful, but really lack any sort of animation, variety, quantity... the game is really lazy in this area. The resourse manage is realy great and interesting, it could use a better interface. I hope dev continue to produce.

damn boy! I have no word for this masterpiece. the music, soundtracks, story, graphics, gameplay. all of these are superb. this game is literally deserve 5 star rating. wish there are more game like this in this site. I have a weak spot for mystic-fantasy worlds like this. I hope the dev keep continue develope this game. I have no words. 5/5 Game.

It's THE best animation in a h-game I've seen. Not a fan of shota-like characters for obvious reasons but damn, the art is good, the voice acting is great, the scenes are great... Even good quality X-ray? T.T
The only bad thing I'll say is the dialogue on h-scenes is mostly onomatopoeia, so it makes me want to skip chunks of it.

This is one of the few adult games that feels like a genuine game.
It reminds me a lot of Darkest Dungeon,
The music is excellent, and the narration is charmingly voiced.
I really appreciate the unique art style, which shows the developers put a lot of heart and effort into this project.
However, I do wish there were more sexual events or encounters.
I’m looking forward to seeing these aspects expanded in future updates.

First things first, I really want to like this game, but I just can't.

The gameplay itself is okay (soulslike) but there are way too many design choices and glitches that destroy the whole game.

Here are some examples:
There is a map with playgrounds and you have to go up a ramp to reach a Chest. (there are multiple such sitations) You can get stuck between the ramp and the wall and have to restart from the last savepoint every time this happens.

The jump passages are just annoying. The control is not precise enough and 75% of failed jumps you just die.

The skill system is not balanced. I almost irgnored every stat except attack and 98% of my deaths are environment.

There is a stage with escalators which drops down if you walk over them. These piles don't reset with saving and you have to restart.
