I've never really played any porn games more hardcore than Baldur's Gate 3 before, but you remember a couple weeks ago when GOG gave away those NSFW games, as a direct response to the whole thing?

Well I claimed the bundle just to boost their numbers (because censorship is bullshit), but recently I needed a low-difficulty gaming distraction, so I checked a few of them out, and... some of them are kind of good?

Like first off you have to be okay with visual novels (usually), but if you're cool with that, some of them actually have some compelling characters, and occasionally even good gameplay in between all the fucking and whatnot.

Leap of Love is amusing, kind of adorable when it comes to the not-sex stuff, and charming. It is also a game where you (a former frog) can marry and simultaneously bed 3 princesses and their stepmother after deposing of the evil king. My brain is still trying to reconcile this.

Huniepop is one of the best match 3 puzzle games I've ever played, with a chill as hell soundtrack. Also a scantily-clad foul-mouthed love fairy wants you to fuck every woman in a 5 mile radius who can fog a mirror.

And Crom help me, when I finished... sigh... Fetish Locator Week 1, I actually cared enough about some of the characters to buy the next one.

The point is, some of these games have more depth and value than I'd been led to believe, and I wouldn't have known that if the censorship thing hadn't started that chain of events. So congrats censorship people, and honestly thanks, I guess? Completely the opposite of your intended effect. Task failed successfully.

The more people play and buy porn games, the better porn games will get, same as any other genre.

I've always been open to adult only games, but for the vast majority there are only two basic types:

  • Visual Novels - Everything about these is fine. They vary from basically just a graphic novel to a full on RPG.

  • Nude Puzzles - Various cheap-ass puzzles with nude images as the prize.

I want, like, a real game but with full adult only content. These exist, but are hard to find. And a lot of those I've found aren't finished, never will be finished, and/or just suck. It doesn't even have to be the focus. Just imagine if when you got a hooker in GTA or some other game where brothels might exist, you got to see more than a fade to black/car bouncing around.

The biggest issue with adult content in games is that it limits your market to adults that want that content. Which is already small to begin with. And you often can't advertise the same way, which limits your audience further. You only find out about them through word of mouth or through places like Lemmy.

From the standpoint of the developer, your ROI is likely to be very small. I think that's why VN are the most popular form of adult games, since they are easier to make than full games.

A good H-game with more that 4 hours of content, good porn, and good gameplay are rare finds. Not to mention the pain in the ass of finding the decensor patches or using a non-Steam, non-English site to buy it.

For vnovels, check out Katawa Shoujo. It has a great storyline and characters, and it's free!

If you're looking for a platformer I'd recommend Flipwitch - Forbidden Sex Hex

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 days ago

Man, you're mean. You can't recommend that without at least a warning of the box of tissues that you'll need nearby. You'll be responsible for water stains on desks everywhere.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

Flipwitch is a fantastic little Metroidvania that I can't talk to my "normal" gaming friends about.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

I've only ever played one VN and it was wonderful: Katawa Shoujo 💛

WoohooOoooOooOoOo…. Barbara Streisand

If you're open to a platformer, the only explicitly adult game I've tried is FlipWitch. The gimmick is that you can change your sex, with certain obstacles only able to be passed through by a specific sex. You also have clothing that can only be worn by each sex, and certain NPCs won't interact unless you're wearing certain items. It's a solid metroidvania, and while it's not going to blow you away, I still enjoyed my time with it.

Karryns prison has a fantastic combat system and the voice actress is "chefs kiss". You can not go wrong with it in my opinion.

When you got attached to the characters in Fetish Locator you should definitely not play Leap of Faith. It's going to crush you emotionally.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Thanks for the warning. I'd started playing because I needed a distraction from some hard IRL stuff, so that's good to know. It was nice that when I fired up Being a DIK from the same bundle, they straight out ask you at the beginning if you're going through shit right now, and gently suggest the game may be rough for you if you are.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Adult games give emotional support these days. Not all, but many understand and respect the player to a degree not normally found in games. And because all the right wing puritans aren't playing those games, no one is complaining about other hot button topics like gender, equality, etc.

Modding is a way to add some adult content to some games. For example, Bethesda's games have a very active modding community.
