Cloud Cuckoo Land is a GAY, adult visual novel. It is available for FREE on itch.io
Synopsis: You have a very powerful imagination and a lazy disposition. The unfortunate combination resulted in excessive daydreaming for most of your adult life which ruined your relationships with those around you. One desperate decision landed you in minimum security prison. Your only hope at a turnaround is to sail through it as smoothly as possible, avoiding any incident as much as you can manage. It should be easy to get an earlier release for good behavior. That was what you thought until a very strange encounter in prison threatens to upend everything from your beliefs to your sanity. Can you manage to stay upright and avoid being devoured by the haunting nightmares of prison?
Chapter 2 (version 0.2.3)
Next part of the story
The next large chunk of the story till the end of Chapter 2, but only on one path. There is another - slightly similar beginning with a different ending path that will be in the next update.
Introduced a few RPG elements:
Day/Night Cycle – Introduced a broad tracking of the time of day – that’s simply Day or Dream, in either of these, you are able to explore either the Prison Facility and its different buildings or The Dream world which has a warped version of prison as well as a few other places.
Inventory – You’ll begin collecting objects that will be a mix of important quest items, sellable items, puzzle items, and other items that you don’t really know what to do with for now like people’s underwear
. Obviously, you can’t access your inventory in the dream world. You’ll have a completely different inventory there.
Stats – This is a work in progress. This is something you can interact with and see a description of how they work but they do not affect gameplay yet.
Threads – An organized view of what stuff you’re involved in. Basically “Quests” but not all of it are quests you need to accomplish so we’re going with “Threads”.
Highlighting Main Quest objects: Maybe you don’t want to explore the map for side quests. Maybe you just want to focus on the Visual Novel portion, the Main Quest – so to speak. No problem. Turn this on, and the next person, place, or thing you need to click on the map that advances the main storyline will be highlighted – a pulsating orange color. In this patch, you’ll get to play up until the very end of Chapter 2. (As mentioned in the previous blog post, you’ll need to choose a certain option in the end of Chapter 1 for your gameplay to reach the end, otherwise, you’ll stop halfway, for now.)
There are a few more. Basically built a mini-rpg with some puzzle solving and going around clicking stuff kind of gameplay.
START A NEW GAME:
Absolutely start a new game. Ironically, this is so your new saves will work with future versions of the game and so you don’t have to keep starting a new game. I’ve done a sizable change to the game’s script and how I’ve handled a lot of elements in the past in order to maximize the chances that your saves will be compatible with future releases. Any saves not in this patch will produce an error.
ISSUES FOR MOBILE DEVICES:
While playable on Android, a huge chunk of the new content in this patch involves exploring a terrain environment (point and click gameplay) with a UI that was not built for mobile devices. There are large issues that came with this that I’ve only found while testing the game today.
These include:
Speech Bubble dialogue too small. This isn’t a simple fix. As previously explained the bubbles had to be manually placed per line. It’s a fairly recent renpy feature and unfortunately lacks stuff like automatically resizing based on what’s inside, or being able to globally set its padding. So I think I will have to change it manually this time.
UI elements too small and difficult to click on the maps.
Skipping feature cannot be turned off while on the map. Must press Back to stop it.
These will be updated in an android focused patch later.
1.1b Change: November 2
Small story change: Trimmed some parts off from the lunch scene including an information that gets revealed later on making it redundant.

Just great. Follow the creator on Patreon, send him some love. This is a complex story with characters that have emotions, their own motivations and an overall supernatural theme. Overview: MC is sent to prison and there he encounters someone who offers him for his dreams to come true. But, of course there's a catch to that. As of this version there are not a lot of choices to make, but I see a bright future ahead for this game!

Amazing story to the point that I actually enjoy reading all of it, great graphics especially the lucid part of the game, intriguing plot that keeps your mind wondering, a bit of thrill and a lot of mystery to really put you on the edge, diverse character to get close with which has really great personalities and amazing believable interaction between them, the only downside is the content take times to be made, but it's like a good wine, and I'd rather it takes lots of time to age than having to drink those vinegar wines.

I just got done playing Version 1.1 of this. It's unbelievable that a game of this calibre is free at all for people. The rendering is i nsane . The writing is good. You can tell that the writers put careful consideration into the characters and the dialogue. And weirdly, the plot is good? (I stopped jacking off to actually focus on what was going on in the story, and it was actually interesting.) And most importantly, its hot as fuck. Most Visual Novels either lose themselves in their writing and you get bored, or they have such bad writing that you just skip through the texts to reach the CGs. But this strikes that middle ground perfectly. The creator somehow weaves lustful sexuality into the story expertly so that it's not just a deep fucking story that happens to have some lewd scenes sometimes to the point your penis is dead, or short excuse for characters to fuck in as many ways possible so that you get bored by the shallowness of it. It's a story about the horniness and sexiness of men. And did I mention the renders? YOU CAN SEE THE PORES on their skin. The men are actually so fucking hot. I'm definitely paying for the Patreon now. This shows a lot of promise, and by gathering an audience over time gradually, , it could become as good (dare I say better?) as SpaceCorps XXX, Coming Out on Top, Bound By Night. However, because the game is so good, it's going to need alot of work before it's done. So it's likely that the game will grow to a point where it goes to the f95 purgatory of games that haven't been updated in a year. Just want the creator to know that he has an enormous game ahead of him. But if he manages to keep at it, there's no doubt that it will become one of the staple gay games of the internet.

Wow, just tried it out and the game has a really promising start! I cannot wait to see how it develops from here on out. The story is intriguing, and the characters all hot af. I wish the best of luck to the devs, what an amazing starting point!

This is a review of the 1.0 release of the game. Perhaps I am a little jaded, but I don't usually expect games with sexual elements to be more than 'okay' in terms of plot and writing. Which is why this game surprised me by being good . Really good. Not just for a porn game, but good by any objective standard. I'm not going to lie, one 'jump scare' moment actually unnerved me and the 'creeping dread' of the protagonists questioning their sanity was excellent. I am definitely keeping an eye on this one! If I have any quibble at all, it is that all the guys are bara types, which is a personal preference of the author/artist and is fine! I just like to see a little diversity of build. (Not that guys aren't hot!) In any case, this is amazingly solid and sexy for a very early version. Very impressive and very fun.

Review done at 1.0: One of the most well done first releases I've seen. Every character is so well done, even in conversation they change their expressions, making more natural the conversation. The dudes are all smoking hot, and the plot is intriguing. The idea of three main characters is ambitious, but we'll see how it turns out, I have faith on the dev. A really, really solid start.

Amazing!!! This along with Ergi, Bound By Night and SpaceCorps are my favorite games on F95. I really like the premise of the game, it's a total mind binder, where you're given the same clues as the character trying to figure out what's what!
