Finding Cloud 9 is a slow-burn, story-driven adult visual novel about a college guy whose promising summer takes a dangerous turn when he’s coerced into drug production to protect the people close to him. As he juggles a normal life with a criminal one, intimate relationships, desire, and money begin to blur his sense of right and wrong. His naivety is slowly broken with each new situation, each new insight as he slowly becomes more and more realistic about his situation and every choice he makes pushes him closer to becoming either the man he believes he is… or someone who learns to ruthlessly justify crossing every line. This is a story about temptation, escalation, and the cost of wanting more. Whether you find your Cloud 9, or lose yourself chasing it, is up to you.

4.5 / 5 Intriguing VN with some of the best scenes and animations I've seen. The story is well paced, the characters are very well written with distinct personalities, and I'm glad it's a slow burn VN that let's the characters grow within the story. My only negatives: There are some grammar issues and it could do with a proofreader. The ambient sounds can be way too loud and it's not affected by the volume setting. Highly recommended. Onyx Decadence deserves praise and support, and I'm very much looking forward to the next update. I hope as many people as possible can support this talented developer, and hopefully he can get some proofreading assistance which would elevate this VN to be among the best!
Oh boy, where to start... Dialogues... Jeez, one of the most dull and boring dialogues I've seen for some time now... At some point (like episode 2 or 3) I just went to the end with fast forward so I cannot tell if they get better overtime quality-wise. Dialogues are just fillers, there are like 4(?) decision to make but other than that, none of what you say matters and most of them are concluded by universal "that's all". First episodes are full of small talks about the same things over and over again - MC is hanging up with his friends but there's no real content there, just couple of dialogues about the same stuff again (what to do during summer, some shared memories etc) and that's it, they go home. "This meeting could've been an email" type of hang out, dull and boring. Relationship points? Yeah, once in a while (veeery rarely) you have an obvious choice like "encourage your friend to follow her dream" = "she approves" or "don't encourage" = "she disapproves" - yeah, that's it. Free roam is dull as well, you are basically limited to linear plot line anyway with extra steps so what's the point? There is nothing "free" in FREE roam if you cannot do anything else than game says you to do. There is no choice of doing something or not, all is linear. You have nice map but what for? You cannot casually visit friend's house, shooting range or cafe. The only reason to visit those places is when you get message on your phone and you need to meet someone in there but you can also just click their photo. Free roam would be like: visit shooting range to get some exp and move forward time or get a job somewhere to get some money or hang out in bar to get some charisma exp, visit and spend some time with friend or whatever. Not in this case, it is just a facade, linear VN with extra steps which are getting really boring. Phone is abused to the limits. Gameplay looks like this: no tasks, fast forward time, read message/s on your phone, new tasks. Tasks done? Fast forward, read message/s on the phone, new tasks. No "random" encounters during your daily chores or something, until you click on some character, nothing will happen in 99% of the time. Sex scenes... I'm conflicted here. They are okayish, there is no freedom but later on dev added idiotic 3 options "faster/slower/continue" which completely "kills the mood" since barely anything changes... "Faster/Slower" is not "freedom", it's again just a redundant extra step with no value. But overall I would say they are enjoyable, mostly because girls look really great. Renders is something I personally like. Characters look really good and are unique. Many devs use constantly over and over the same characters we've all seen before but that's not a case here. World/Environment is consistent, looks believable, overall really good quality with some minor issues but I won't complain about it. Stats... I must say, that's something that hooked me up to start with but oh boy, another disappointment. I hoped for being able to actively develop them (especially having free roam) or that they will have bigger impact on gameplay but not really. Sometimes there is dialogue option you can make but that doesn't really change much. Money? Even worse, you have no power on how much you earn/have and no reason to even have it, nothing to buy/spend on. Overall, 3/5. Good renders, acceptable story, dull dialogues, redundant mechanics.
I really enjoy the story of this one. Haven't fully caught up but it does start slow and speed up so don't quit on it immediately. The scenes are honestly a weaker part of this game. Weird dialogue, not many options(if any), usually just the MC getting off. Sounds and animations are great tho. Usually only BJ and Vag. Saw 1 fingering scene so far. (after posting this next 2 scenes had MC giving lol) Also very small nitpick but the background sounds of the locations are not tied to any of the sound sliders for some reason and would ear blast me when I went to the city. Not sure why this game even has an open map when there is no sandbox elements but I appreciate allowing you do have an order of what characters you want to interact with. Models and renders are fantastic and its nice not seeing the same assets from every other VN used in this one. Edit: Gonna change my rating to a 3. I did catch up and thought the writing took a huge drop off in episode 9 part 1 especially . In my playthrough, I went to 3 different girls houses and they all had a random ass dramatic event involving their parents occur that all just felt so out of no where and forced. Story starting to feel a bit dragged out
This is good and worth playing. Good amount of content relative to how long its been out too. Not sure why its a "sandbox" game - there is nothing to do in the sandbox, no grind which is nice but it really should be a visual novel. Choices dont seem to matter much at the moment outside of some flavor changes. The money aspect also doesnt really matter, you have enough cash to do everything in the game regardless of your "street smarts" score. Entertaining setting, number of characters is probably slightly too much but they are all getting a decent amount of scene time and getting paths built. Well done by the developer
I admit, I didn't get too far into this one before calling it quits. That's why I'm not going any lower. The renders are about average to slightly above average for the girls, and the mc himself isn't ugly. What took me out of this one is the dialogue. Not too many grammatical errors, but the dialogue itself is so awkward and stilted. I can only assume English isn't the devs' first language or something. Which is fine, of course, but for me, the flow and realness of the dialogue is very important to me.
Great game, should have way more recognition, Story is nice, LI are fabulous and each unique charas you'll not find elsewhere. Animation in h-scenes are excellent. Franlky if you havent tested it yet, dont hesitate one second its the level of the best prod here like Step of D, even bette id say.
The game started with a lot of potential. It had a bit of everything for everyone...great models, bantering between MC and his friends, and a storyline that could've been good. Only, it didn't work out that way. Now we have a passive MC who's everyone's bitch, simply because his stepdad dealt drugs. On top of that, some of the LIs treat him like shit and he apologises for it. I like MCs with a little more of what this MC completely lacks: a spine. When it comes to the sex scenes, I just find "blowjobs and sex" tiresome and I'm not a fan of selfish MCs. By all means, add blowjobs, but is that all some people think sex requires? Has the dude never had the pleasure of eating pussy? I couldn't even play up to the latest update, it was that frustrating. Not a game I'd recommend by any stretch, which is a shame because it could've been something great. The graphics are brilliant, the music is brilliant, and even sandbox can be avoided. Such a letdown to have such a spineless and selfish lover of an MC.
TL;DR: Recommend playing it. It's good all around. High quality renders and animations, good story and writing with interesting characters. The aspect i like the most about this AVN is the female characters. Truly unique and beautiful. No copy paste bimbo characters everywhere. The MC not an unlikable fuckwit like in so many AVNs. The player's choices actually matter. I consider the story and writing good, but it's so obviously just different movies/series mashed together at some points, but i didn't mind that too much, since it's self aware. I generally like AVNs that don't only focus on sex, but i think with this one it could use more, since the story is not strong enough in itself to keep it from getting dull, the dev should definitely add some more personal drama into it, and some twists to keep it interesting. The sex scenes are very vanilla, which is not neccessarily a bad thing, but they could use some spice. Overall I had a fun time playing through this, i can honestly recommend it.
Slice-of-life-ish type of story with the more realistic approach. The good: Nice visuals, clean understable GUI, OK writing. Custom models of decent quality, not default DAZ with default setting we see in every game. The bad: Either the pacing is too slow in general, or it's only the beginning, nothing happened for the first 45 minutes of gameplay. Maybe that's author decision to go with more realistic approach, and as the MC is a young adult living in a small town, NOTHING was happening there (as it usually goes in small rural town), anyway got bored and quit the game. The Meh While I truly beleive in 'show don't tell', a bit of exposition in the very beginning would be appreciated. Who's the woman that woke the MC? Why he lives in the same house? Who's younger woman that took him to cafe? Who's the older dude who needed a package to be delivered? Either let player set custom relations if that's incest type of game, or insert 2 lines of MC's inner thoughts (That's Mary she's been taking care of me since my parents died) or smth along the lines. Nevertheless game seems to be ok, maybe it's only me who found detailed description of teen's day to day life a bit boring. Give it a try.
Can recommend this one. Writing feels solid and engaging (with some Breaking Bad vibes here and there), renders and animations are above average and look nice overall. But the best aspect for me was the pacing, it was like a breath of fresh air compared to other VNs these days, to get a game where each and every girl you meet does not jump to MCs c*ck right away, lol. It is a definitely a slow burn but because of the story it feels right. The only thing I didn't really like at first is sandbox element cuz feels compeletely unnecessary for this game, though it becomes less annoying with the story progression.
Very high quality game that starts slow but quickly takes up the pace. At the beginning there aren't many erotic scenes but that's to be expected in a more than usual realistic story. The truth is though, this game has tons of good, juicy, porn stuff (just look at the gallery) so if you quit after an hour like one of the other reviewers you have only yourself to blame. This game is long, updates are regular, story is great and all in all it's a complete package. Its only flaw IMO is that it has sandbox elements which is pointless. It's nothing egregious mind you (I usually hate sandboxes but here I don't mind it too much, just don't see the point) because your time is not wasted (too much) and you can go from scene to scene almost immediately. Pros: +Great sex scenes and a ton of them. +Very good writing (that goes both for the story and characters) +The game offers many hours of good gameplay +Updates are quite regular Cons: -It's a sandbox (although one of the best if not the best I've played)
An excellent product. Despite the game being a slow burn in terms of its erotic content, the narrative and its characters make the wait worthwhile. Narratively, you get exposed to many choices, some far more impactful than others within a sandbox environment. However, the sandbox element is very straightforward to navigate and does not possess any grinding participation on the part of the player that plagues many other sandbox titles. Straightforward in the sense there's not multiple rooms at any locations you have to traverse to reach an objective to move the story along and you can disregard this completely by clicking the objectives with the exclamation marker on the upper right corner for smooth sailing. Even though, an argument can made that the sandbox isn't adding distinctive/necessary., but it's not in the way either. As for the characters, there are more than a dozen love/sexual interests in Finding Cloud 9, in which a single is not forced upon you and can even decide to cut off contact with certain ones or keep it professional/friendly. However, don't get too ahead of yourself as some of these LIs are integral to the story. Each LI are pretty unique in their hobbies, struggles, likes, dislikes, etc. and are obviously extremely attractive. You can honestly pursue the vast majority of them in a single playthrough, but keep in mind some of them are not interested in a harem/polyamory, but the consequences of said harem goal from what I have seen so far isn't implemented yet. Not to mention, the conversations with the LIs/characters within the world generally are concise yet informative/entertaining, which helps keep me engaged and moving along with good amount of content this game has to offer. Finally, the erotic scenes don't start picking up until later on in the story when you have established meaningful roots with the LIs. Once again, the game is a slow burn, but the pacing makes sense with them. The scenes in total is a fair amount, and do possess animations as well as the occasional moaning/sexual noises. The first few are somewhat short, but the later ones go on for quite a long while with no weird cuts/transitions. Some even have the faster/slower option(s). Honestly, Finding Cloud 9 deserves far more recognition for this level of quality/quantity. I cannot wait to see what else is in store going forward from Onyx.
Exactly what I wanted out of it, all of the renders are really nice. All of the characters are interesting enough for me to keep playing. The story is pretty cool and I like the branching points. Overall very solid! Also the music choices for this are literally masterful, the dev really sets the scene with some of these tracks.
I feel like there are 2 games in this one game. If I were to rate the beginning/intro. It would be a 1/5. Mostly sandbox in a empty map with 0 interaction (idc about sandbox/free roam style of games IF its well implemented, but there is literally nothing to do in the map - 100% a waste of time), uninteresting slice of life story, just doing boring errands, the intro characters (family + Mila) are stock Daz models that you've probably thought looked familar to many others you've seen in other games. I really wanted to give up on it. But If I were to rate the rest of the game, it would be a 4.5/5 easily. I don't like drug dealing stories as their usually corny or overblown but I found it to be decent. The latter character models I can tell are customized and are unique, the stupid free roam sandbox is mostly gone (you can play it like a VN by just clicking the portraits). The dev's surprise strength is animations, we don't really see that shine till the first H scene after a few episodes. Only thing is the branching, I don't really see any evidence of branching or choices mattering a whole lot. Seems linear so far. What I loved about this dev, is that he actually listened to feedback and discarded the aspects that didn't work out and leaned moreso on his strengths (renders/animations/writing). He could've abandoned the game, started a new patreon account, a new game, and forgetten about this. But nope, he didn't give up. I really like that. But I also think the intro of this game probably turned a lot of people off. Like this game can't even get the VN tag even though it does operate like a VN but because of the stupid design choice of returning the MC to a empty map, its technically a sandbox/free roam game. I'm 100% sure many people dropped this game because they think its grindy door clicking simulator like many others with that tag.
I’ve played for an hour, and damn, I even felt bad. I can’t even call it a porn game it’s more like the developer’s attempt at making their own TV series lol. It’s laughable: it has good models, a good map, good music, animation… and you throw it all away by trying to make a realistic story. And it ends up just being an attempt, because it couldn’t be more unrealistic, absurd, and submissive if it tried. Since you were going to make a ridiculous story anyway, at least make it about screwing everything that moves with over-the-top sex scenes. That would be way more fun than this bad lunchtime soap opera. Lastly, just the ‘letter’ scene alone is enough to make you want to kill someone and completely change the reaction of any coherent person. It pissed me off so much I deleted it.
I recommend watching this if you like the magical cock hero harem genre. (no sarcasm). Very juicy girls and wonderful animated sex scenes - 6 out of 5 I liked the interface; it's very well implemented, freeroam - 5 out of 5 The story is weak and derivative - 3 out of 5 A special plus for the cute MC
Highly Recommended. The game is polished in terms of continuity of renders and animations, feels solid. Easy navigation so you never feel stuck without knowing where to go. It is a slow-burn, which isn't something I prefer personally, but it's great for someone looking for emotional attachment in their porn game. Great models, use of sound, storyline etc.. deserves a 5
So far, this game is simply great. The story is well told and stays (mostly) to stay away from many other stories in this forum that try to juggle crime and slice of life. With the exception of the Red Raven part and all related to that, of course, that part did through me off a lot because it really makes no sense. But the game really has well written and created characters with their intentions, trying to play you one way or the other, and choices are meaningful and do matter a lot. It is a slow burn though, but when the payoffs come they really are great. Render quality and animations are top notch, character models are simply great and diverse. There are some sounds (I turned off the music so can't comment on that) which do enhance some scenes. And at least in my playthrough I found no bugs, with an UI that works pretty well to make it easy to find what to do, where to go, etc. So, all in all, unless the devs drop the ball now, this one is headed to be one of the best in this forum.
Writing is this game's strongest point, and the sex scenes and sfx when they actually do happen (it's fairly slow going for mc to get his dick wet) are pretty hot. This is also the game where I actively rejected the most chicks in a porn game. MC is a bit of a simp, every time he meets with half the chicks in here he's just doing errands for them, one of them straight up just uses the MC which was really obvious, and the game did not acknowledge the fact that her and mc didn't fuck. I hate how there is no option to do the right thing and not have the mc behave like an absolute doormat simp. You catch abuse for half the game and are supposed to empathise with *their* circumstances while no one extends the same courtesy. Kinda realistic when you think about it. Game feels extremely tone deaf when it comes to Richard and the lawyer. Game looks nice, got me actually reading and interested in making choices, too bad it then feels like it really wasn't expecting you to make one of the choices (rejecting chicks that (deceive and) use the MC). All in all, I believe the dev can make something better if they pick a different setting, the porn is good when it's there, renders are good (although I feel like some characters were originally supposed to look older but were written off with a "you look pretty young for your age" type shit), dialogue is fine for the most part, and I like that you grow to know the characters some before anything happens, too bad I just don't like most of them.
This game was a 5-star adult novel material for me in first couple of episodes but last couple of episodes are somewhat mediocre and I didn't dig the pacing, plot development-climax. So what can you expect from this? Contentwise 0.7.2 has 4-5 hours of reading given you didn't skip. Lewd content is vanilla with average animations for today's standards. Plot is drug and cartel drama with twists and dating sim sprinkled on top. Pseudocest checkbox is ofc checked. MC is a little bit bland. Despite this I was willing to give this game 5 stars because for first 4 episodes or so it kept me reading without skipping but in last 2 episodes I was a little bit bored. I can say that climax didn't fulfill my expectations also lewd content is a little bit slowburn on main LIs. MC gets his dick wet with mostly sidechicks. Qualitywise I can say it exceeds %95 of the games on this site so definitely a must play, but has lengths to go for perfection.
