City of Sin

The story of Kate looks so promising for the player. First episode of her story showed a nice amount of possibilities to shape Kate's story, and I think the different branches of her story will be even increased in the next episodes. Thank you for creating this game. It looks so promising.

(Version 0.1) Here is an excellent game that i recently discovered (and no, i know nothing about the 'Jessica series'(?)) with a perfectly proportioned and realistic female protagonist and superb graphics to boot. It's truly refreshing. The main plot also looks already complex and likely full of all sorts of twists and turns. Regarding the sex scenes, they were all hot and exciting; I didn't find anything bad about them. Plus, the writing is undoubtedly of very high quality in this one. I mean, i have never seen such high-quality writing in any of the AVNs i have played so far (and yes, it's very important for me). I did indeed find that all of our heroine's feelings are particularly well described. So, i have to say: kudos to the developers! It's all very promising and i hope it stays that way!! For sure i will be following the rest of the development with great interest. To summarize: For now, an awesome game for those who enjoys portraying female protagonists in a perverted but believable environment. If the future updates maintain this very promising start, i think that City of Sin could become a true benchmark in the genre. A game I definitely recommend!!! (There you go, guys: this was my very first review on this site because i wanted to give an encouraging rating here. Also i hope that i was clear enough, and i apologize in advance for my probably poor English because it's not my native language, which currently forces me to use a dammit translator...)

From a very open-minded perspective in which I read the other reviews prior to mine. firstly this is a huge step from the original demo, unlike most games with a male MC that many "fans" want an adult game to thrive on the fapping content versus an actual plot for a game and on that concept it is immersive for the debut to actually learn about the character. Easily like most games it is just the start and those I feel that heavily critique it solely on just the first launch are the ones that end up kicking their own ass. I as well played the Jessica series some concepts I do agree with however at the end of the day the biggest pro for the dev is what many lack which is at the start having image and replay galleries, avoid the damn sandbox as it's been way overdone and this game does just that it gives you options that are clear with said achievements going along the way. Major kudos to the dev for ascending in the rendering from the start of doing Jessica, to the current game and that growth has purely been put onto display.

Version: 0.1 This game starts with an interesting promise: An interesting story, served by a credible female MC, with the possibility to choose if you'll play her straight or lesbian, and apparently submissive or dominant. For once, you'll not be stuck with a female MC stuck in a lame life, and that have to submit in order to survive. Just this felt like a big and appealing change. But alas, the realization doesn't follow... Visually, the game keep its promise. The renders are good, even according to current standard. Better, characters clearly own more than a single set of clothes, what is really refreshing; the MC will change her clothes everyday and for every occasion, something rare enough on the adult gaming scene to be noticed. More interesting, the said CGs are accurate to the situation. When the MC is angry, you'll see her angry. When she's puzzled, you'll see her puzzled. And so on. Look at them and, most of the time, you'll understand what's going on. And it's where the game suddenly fail. Some devs decide to tell the story, others to show it. This one decided to do both together, showing and telling. And he don't do it alternatively, he do it at the same time. This mean that every single CG you'll see will also be fully described. Therefore, you'll be given the information twice, once through the CGs, and once through the narration that accompany every single one of them. And I really mean "every single one", if there's CGs that aren't describe, it's so exceptional that I haven't even noticed it. This doesn't imply that the writing is bad, because globally it isn't. But the near to 90% narration, for 10% dialogs and inner thoughts, ratio is for books, not for Visual Novels. By example, there's no need for something like the MC saying "I do now, yeah.", being followed by a narrative "She admitted." We aren't totally idiot, we already know that she admitted it, it was in the previous line and her expression doubled that it was an admission. Like we don't need to know that "She set the boutique bag on her bed, the paper catching the soft light and for a long moment, she simply stood there, staring." when the CGs are showing the boutique bag on the bed, with the paper catching the soft light. This will a pause a bit longer than usual would express the fact that she just stood there, staring. This make the game way heavier, not in term of size, but of burden, than it could be; that it should be. As I said above, it's how one write a book, therefore a story deprived of any illustration, not a Visual Novel. And it's a pity, because the promise was really interesting, while the dev clearly show writing capacities that could have made a great game, if he wasn't trying to write a book on a media that isn't a book. Without this, the game would probably deserve 4 stars. But the burden imposed by this heavy narration easily remove 3 stars; It kill the mood during the hot scenes, while killing the interest during the story ones, and becoming a boredom during the few filler scenes.

Review based on a playthrough on version 0.1. Overall this has lots of potential and a few flaws. PROS: The models and renders look very good. There is a story here which has potential to be interesting Prose is good, if a bit florid More content than typical for a first version CONS: The erotic scenes are truncated in a way that feels very artificial. The actions taken sometimes seem illogical Spoiler: for example the girls "hiding/escaping" by making out in the shower . Too much time is spent watching the MC do fairly mundane things (admittedly with lots of nudity and mood setting prose). In moderation this would be a positive, but it feels like too much.

I don't want to sound too optimistic since it's still very early, but I did want to leave an encouraging review because IMO this is a HUGE improvement from the Jessica games. What always bothered me in the Jessica games is that they never felt like games to me. More like a "pick your kink and pick that option" slideshow. I tried to play them several times because I liked the model and the kinks, but all in all they were completely forgettable to me. And let's not forget the constant 'still in development" popus behind every corner because of the insane amount of branches. This is such an improvement. It's a lot more streamlined and I mean that in the most positive way possible. You still have different paths with different kinks (and that most likely won't change since this seems to be developer's DNA) but it's a lot less excessive and therefore the individual paths have a lot more depth. Jessica was wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle, this is a lot more coherent and as a result a lot more engaging. I'm really looking forward to play more.

5/5 Stars - Holy crap, this is an amazing start! Playing this took me right back to when I first discovered DoAdventures stories on CHYOA, like those Jessica's Choices branches that hooked me for hours with the same kind of branching paths, hot scenarios, and that addictive "what if" feeling. I'm all over this! Big shoutout to DoAdventures for knocking it out of the park on this one. This has huge potential to be one of my favourites ever and for a v0.1, this thing has way more content than a lot of full games I've played recently. Feel like I've been on here for hours and I don't feel like I'm anywhere near the end. Please continue this story! Please give us the next episode soon. PLEASE!

Awesome first release. Kate's character seems intelligent enough to understand the emotional significance of the situations she get in, so good work on the start here. Loved the diverse cast, especially the muscle mommy. The story is engaging thus far, so I'm looking forward to more. Keep up the good work dev.

Excellent - Characters models are amazing and very well done. 10/10 Story is very detailed and immersive with an intriguing plot. Very suspenseful and well paced keeping you interested in seeing what happens next. 10/10 :Looking forward to seeing how the story develops.

This game looks very promissing and I personally cannot wait for the next episode! The FMC is really cute and also hot (reminds me Ellie from AWAM). The plot is really good with some mystery What else the fans could possibly want?!
