About The Blackout

The Blackout is an adult visual novel with point-and-click adventure elements, built in Ren'Py by AfterLust. You play a young student who wakes after collapsing on the street and tries to learn why strange things are happening around your life. The game presents animated 3DCG scenes and a mystery-driven story that asks you to investigate events that may lead to a larger adventure. It includes harem and milf themes.

Development is ongoing. Version v0.5.2 was released on February 23, 2024 for Windows, Linux, and Mac, in English and uncensored. The update mainly rewrites code and optimizes the four existing episodes, with platform improvements and a new Eva scene in sandbox mode. The creator notes no major new content, since work is focused on the next episode and the final episode of the season, while the beta mobile version also received improvements.

Review for v0.5.2 Game is currently abandoned. Good. How Long To Beat: 3+ hours, depending on reading speed. The character models are excellent. I think the character designs are solid. Sex scenes are animated (but lack sound design). UI is…

PROS + Visual/Texture quality looks good. + Sex scenes have animations, and they are decent. CONS - First of all the game story is simulation, and MC not knowing it is quite disappointing, and makes you feel like you are…

meh, nice art but the long drawn out lesbo setup made me lose interest pretty much in the beginning. I usually dump games that show LIs fucking other people before the MC. It's always cuck city when the MC is…
