VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Dreams of Desire [v1.0.3 GOG DE] [Lewdlab]

Overall, I would rate this game 2 points.
Reasoning for my current rating:

• The story of the game is boring as hell and also pointless.
• The game is heavily grainy. It hurts the graphics a lot.

So I'm saying that if the story is important and that's what makes you want to play the game, then this game is not for you.


Sorry everyone for my English spelling.

Considering how old the game is, the renders still hold up quite well! And the models are very well done.

The game itself has several differing scenes that you can miss depending on the choices you make, and there are several endings as well. However, this can be pretty easily navigated with the walkthrough provided. Each of the endings are interesting, and there is a harem ending as well which is a plus for a harem game.

Story-wise, it's your typical "main character obtains powers to influence the women around him" story with some occult/conspiracy action thrown in. I see that it's a major criticism for some reviewers but honestly, the story is serviceable. Yes, it's no masterpiece by any means but the interest of the story holds through and the game has a good balance between H-scenes and story elements, which keep the story and H-scenes interesting without making them too repetitive.

I think one of the major strengths of this game is the limited number of main love interests. It allows the game to give each character more depth and attachment, unlike some harem games where the characters are just a "pump-and-dump" deal. Also as mentioned earlier, there is a harem ending so no need to worry about having to "choose" a love interest after going through the whole game (just make sure to check the walkthrough).

Overall, the game has aged decently well and I'd definitely recommend giving the game a whirl if you like the models and are interested in a harem/incest game with some mystery mixed into it.

*p.s. the final version [v1.0.3 GOG DE Elite] has both Holidays and Lost Memories DLCs included in the main game (which are unlocked after playing through the main game) so no need to download the other two!

Decent game. I couldn't finish it though. The mc's penis was a major turn-off. Oversized like most games, but the real problem was the coloration. The thing looked like it was sickly, like someone had banded it tightly and it was about to fall off. Quite disturbing.

One of the aspects I enjoy the most of DD is the use of the music, a lot of us if not all of us have heard each tune used in this but combined with the renders and the construction of the scene I believe the atmosphere is very well made. The renders are a classic, solid work and over all enjoyable, the sex scenes aren't the best, but the build up to them is good. Sometimes the choices in a vn are mearly cosmetic at best, but in DD theres a good amount of replay value since I got two endings and still miss a few scenes. I think the only point it takes away of my enjoyment is the ending, not with the LI, but how it plays out, feels kind of rushed, some ideas don't have conclusions or characters disapear. Beyond that, I think this is a great VN, kind of a slow burn, but the amount of renders and content is very worth the playthrough.

While the graphical part of this game is generally OK (the graphics are old and a bit outdated, though gradually improving towards the end). The animations aren't bad, showing the scene from different angles. It is the plot and the writing in general, where the problem lies.
This game reminds me one of those "parody" porn films which pretend to have a plot, but in general nobody believes in that and doesn't care
The MC is one of the worst kind I've seen in these games. He is 21 but totally immature, uninspiring and dull. He act and thinks all the time like 15 years old horny virgin teenager (actually he is a virgin for the first half of the game).
The dialogues and characters are boring as hell.
The lewd scenes in the first half are repetitive grinding, mostly when the victim is asleep. After that they become just average hardcore porn.
There is no cuddles or anything after the sex for the most of the game. The characters just cum, say "OK, time to go, I have lots of things to do, seeya later".
The plot is about magic and fantasy, I accept that, but it has too many holes.
The girls in the game are kinda hot (though the models look too plastic), but they somehow do not inspire any emotional attachment.
All in all, the game is just for faps. There are better completed incest games, even of the same age with similar graphics but much better writing.

Review: Good game. I like the character designs, the premise is fun (mind control is always good for lewdness), and the black shadow man is very charming (reminds me the man god from jobless reincarnation).
Game as a whole has very much charm and love in it, I appriciate it.
With that said it has the common problems of western 3D games, the backgrounds are not cohesive, textures are low detail, poses are stiff. Camera angles are also not much to my enjoyment, I think if the developer commited to point of view camera angles it would be better.
Still, I enjoy it. (Please correct me if my English is not very good, I am trying!)

beautiful and sexy ladies (although I would like at least one more to have smaller boobs but that is more personal preference) , interesting story.
Loved also the side-stories.
Thanks dev and would love to see more from you!

Graphics: 3/5 (old, no skin complexion, simple modles, lack of detail!)
Plot: 3/5 (corruption incest fantasy)
Writing: 2/5 (very dull and boring)
Lewd: 1/5 up to Ep4
Final verdict: Waste of time! (if you'r in for a jizz)


Ditched the game in E4.
Up do E4 the plot forms as about incest corruption (magic spell mind control).
The writing is very dull and boring, like an uninspired beginner in writing class. Like a 10 year old would try to write. And lots of it ...
Images look very old fashinoned and the facial expressions are limited and somewhat comical.

Dreams of Desire have been around for quite a while now, it was the first approach to the genre for a lot of us, but it is truly memorable?.

Story: 2 Resting Bananas out of 5
While Dreams of Desire begins strong on the story department, with a mysterious supernatural plot, it fails to keep the intrigue going and ends up losing steam fast as progression goes on, as the story is too ambitious for its own good.
Writing a fantasy story without losing the reader´s interest is a skill that requires a lot of try and error, there´s no other way to circumvent this, you need to keep writing different approaches at the genre until you write something that yourself actually enjoy reading while keeping your ambition on check, as no artist, ever, has made his magnum opus at first try.

Characters: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Female chars look pretty good, olympus goddesses level of good.
A little bit more of hair color variety would have been awesome, without redheads this world is doomed mate.
There´s not a lot of character development going on, except on two of the main heroines, one of which has more of a plot twist than real development.
Main char and his sidekick are as deep as a shallow pond, and they are a couple of pervs embarked on a endogamy mission.

Mechanics: 5 Adamant-Hard Bananas out of 5
This is a VN, and as such theres no real effort required to play it, theres no minigames, no other action required from our thick monkey brains to reach the neural activation...This is great, VNs dont need to be complex on this department to be successful.

Content: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Animations on this VN are gucci *chef kiss*.
Scenes are just enough, wish there could have been a lot more per character, some interactions with them are decision bound, which may not be clear unless you play with a walkthrough mod or a guide (or the classic try and error). This might limit your first approach with the VN if you play it without any help.
There´s a point system going in the back, so be mindful with your desicions, as this determines your ending.

Ending: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
There´s an ending for each of the three heroines, a bad ending, a perfect ending and a secret one...All these are determined by certain desicions that may look trivial and inconsequential on the long run, like not being an asshole with someone you actually care about.
Too bad theres no solo ending for aunt Jenna, that woman deserved more.

Dream of Desire is a good game overall, it may not be legendary, but its certainly entertaining.
Main story didnt managed to keep me hooked to be honest, but characters and animations are top quality. Wish more time would have been given to develop the story a lot more, as this had a great potential to be memorable, at first the pace feels a bit slow but in the end it feels a bit rushed.
But I dont regret playing this VN at all.

This game does not live up to the hype. It starts really well, a good corruption concept, I do like games that put some kind of magic in the story, something to be more exciting than real life... and the renders are great, I really enjoyed the 'landlady'. But these are the only positives. The dialogs are ok, not great, not terrible, ok. So maybe 2 stars and a half.

The truth is the game starts well, but I couldn't get pass chapter 3, it's so bad. I don't recommend.

Awesome game in many ways.

Great looking renders with different from each other, amazing looking women.

Lot of content paired with unique story that is really fun and good writing.

Very satisfying ending and well thought out in general.

Belongs to the 'Family Harem' specialized genre, this time with a slap of occult conspiracy.

The renders are good, the choices do matter, but the ending twist is somewhat out of nowhere and dampens the whole experience.

It's porn with plot, and I recommend it if mind control is your thing.

True classic. One of the first adult VN's I tried. Nice renders, a lot of content, simple but not stupid and without a lot of mistakes plot - thats all what needed for great adult VN and Dreams of Desire have all of it.

One of the best incest games ever. Dated by today's standards but seriously set the way rolling when it initially came out years back.

And why 200 characters. Let people rate and comment as per their choice.

5/5 this is an example how this kind of games need to look like. Characters that are unique and scenes that falling in memory. Also dialogues and narratives are great. Foot fetish scenes included. I recommend to try it out.

Quality art, quality writing. The sleep stuff is kinda creepy, but I guess the whole premise is a bit fucked up.

This is an excellent game featuring hypnosis and incest. There's a corruption element too but it happens too suddenly and magically (pretty much a magic creature touches the women and suddenly they want your cock). However, the models are fantastic and there's a body type for every type of gamer. The game features a clueless teenager (this has now become a trope now after all these years) in a world around a mysterious organization focused on forbidden magic. If you love hypnosis and incest, give this game a shot.

While watching the animations and models in the project, I found them to be decent, if not very good. They displayed a level of skill and attention to detail that was commendable. However, the story itself didn't quite align with my personal preferences. I could grasp the concept behind it, but it felt somewhat lacking in my honest opinion. Perhaps I was hoping for more depth, complexity, or a different direction. Nevertheless, I recognize the effort put into creating the project, and I appreciate the aspects that were executed well. It's just that the story didn't fully resonate with me, leaving me with a sense of wanting more from it.

Bought the game through Steam. As described - there are several endings, and there is a difference. Models are interesting, beautiful, though slightly exaggerated, but 75 percent of developers sin with this. There is a script, there is an idea, the characters are quite tolerantly worked out. Pleased with the duration of the game, not for an hour. And in order to get a couple of endings, it will take several passages. In terms of sex scenes, everything is traditional, without going beyond the philistine notions. All in all, an interesting product. Ambiguous, but worthy.

The story is interesting, the multiple sex scenes are good.
The choices you make don't seem to impact much other than the ending. Regardless of your choices, you love and fuck all the girls. A bit disappointed with that last one, since I didn't like Tracy, but I didn't have any choice.
