    Dreams of Desire [v1.0 Definitive Edition Elite] is a visual novel with good renders and animations: Brought down with flat writing, bland characters, and choices that rarely matter.

    Looking at the gallery on the main page will show you the level of quality we’re talking about. This quality is maintained or even improved as you progress through the story and the animations which accompany it are also excellent. So why then was I left with disappointment?

    Well, the writing is… Inconsistent. This would be fine if the build up and pay off was good but – it’s not. Take the bitchy older sister cliché for example. In the first chapter, she hates you. The next chapter she’s sucking your dick. Apply this to each character cliché and you are left with shells of characters whose scenes do not feel ‘earned’. Dreams of Desire holds your hand the entire time and this brings me to my next criticism.

    Choices rarely matter. Despite every chapter having many ‘choices’, you are forced into ‘choosing’ all of them or the story won’t progress. So why give me the choice in the first place? But don’t fret, some choices do matter! And the game will place big warnings telling you choice A or B will matter. Unless of course it’s a game over choice, in which case they happen sporadically.

    At the start of the game, I was considering the choices and reading the dialogue to better understand the characters. Eventually I was mindlessly skipping dialogue because I was bored.

    The story is good

    Visuals are amazing

    The game's controls are easy to understand and play

    But the one problem I have with this game is in my opinion, there should have been more threesomes and foursomes involving the protagonist and female characters of the game.

    I definitely recommend this game.

    1) Story is dull, without emotions, Just some creep wants to get laid, chars are just get zombified with lust spell and fucked. (-)
    2) Not much of Character personality here, and MC is not interested to know them better anyway. (-)
    3) Girls are beautiful, maybe not perfect proportions for my taste and with few other flaws but really good looking. (+)
    4) Sex scenes are good quality overall. (+)
    5) Game is finished. Good amount of content. (+)

    Hard to play without skipping dialogs but visuals are stunning. 3/5

    While the setup is an interesting premise, unless you're into mind-control type stuff it feels very weird. I tried picking this up several times but put it down pretty quickly.

    The models are weirdly proportioned. Something just feels off the whole time. Maybe some people like this but I didn't.

    The most distracting thing is the writing. For some reason rather than using names of people, you get called "tenant" or "roommate" or whatever. Nobody in reality talks like this and it's quite jarring. Other than that the "excessively horny main character" is such an overdone thing, and is really boring.

    Animation quality and general render quality is good, and may be one of the only positive things I can say.

    I apologize that this review will be light on detail, mostly reviewing for my own reference. The game is pretty good. It has a unique story, attractive characters, great modeling, and good animation.

    I used a guide mod because there are some stone-wall choices that immediately give you a game over... Kinda BS, but it then turns the game into not a game, which is kinda boring. The animations are also all fairly slow for my tastes. It also feels like there are a lot of obvious scenes and kinks that dev could have added but just did not. Ex: There are a couple threesomes with you and two girls, but not many. There are no foursomes (or greater) that I can recall. Also, no mention of pregnancy which is fine but man seems like such a missed op. The dialog during sex is okay, sort of vanilla with a slight lean towards kinky.

    At one point i just lost my all sexual intrest and just focused on the story like "wtf is going to happen now? :unsure: "

    It was like watching the final season of Breaking Bad for me

    10/10

    This is a Top-Tier Game!
    The Story and the character development is not perfect, but still prettzy good. Animations and renders are simply perfect, and very fapable.
    Since there is a lot of playtime with a few choices, this game bound me for hours without leaving me unsatisfies at any point.

    This game has good graphics and interesting story. The dreams were a bit confusing time to time. The screen with aboslutely dark silulethe seems a bit weird to me, but thats just a opininion. Still quite good game.

    Among the best.
    May be my favourite universe (I wish there is more of it).
    Good and simple storyline (Different ending options would be helpful, and also end sex scenes with more control).
    Characters are a bit ordinary ( but not annoying.
    Good scenes and positions (a bit more animation might be helpful)
    Graphics are good (not the best, but sufficient).
    Extra games are also fun.

    Great concept and the models look fantatsic however as the story progresses the game starts to lose its way somewhat. Still fun to play through with an interesting idea and can be a lot of fun. Just felt as though some of the potential for the game was never realised.

    In general, I do not like the mystical genre where you agree with a woman on sex with mystical powers, but here, in this game, each scene is so skillfully described, it really deserves praise from me. The characters of the story, with their graphic representation, are excellent. Bravo.

    Absolutely great. There were few tiny issues with animations, but honestly, you only notice them because everything else is really well illustrated and animated. There were some logical errors early in the game (when you deliver your mom's clothes, receptionist asks you to wait till she gets dressed - why is she naked if she's waiting for you?)

    But the ending was absolutely great, very satisfying and... Well anything more I'd say would be vergin on a spoiler, so Im just gonna leave it at that.

    Also, excellent if you have foot fetish. Jus' sayin'...

    I had more fun playing this game, than cyberpunk. This is how you make a proper and intresting game. Now imagine if the game had some real budget to it, like few thousands more. What else do i need to say?

    5/5

    Well, the game is very well made. Lots of love went into making it.
    All women look great and are likeable for their appearance and "dedication".
    Though, for me, i have to say i dislike the harem aspect.
    Plus paranormal and monster. But it does fit in nicely within the story.

    For the harem aspect I wish the game would have let me chose which female actor i would like to engage with.
    My purpose was to get hot with mom. So that works fine, but i had to go and try the spell on my sister as well. Meaning i had to. There was no choice. Of course MC had to try it out somewhere to be sure it worked. I mean the spell.

    Spell. This is another thing that bugged me.
    Though the premise to turn females with a spell has its merits, i feel its a cheat of sorts.
    I do not mind mind control, but i think it should been archived in other ways.

    The animations are super and there is nothin bad to say about the graphics.
    For the story, well, you can not be too picky i think. The story is fine with all the spell thing and the other world (dimension perhaps) that you engaging with.
    It has quite the humor for sure.

    So in the end i think i am divided. I like it but do not like the harem aspect.
    There are other aspect i really did like. For example sleep sex.
    And choices you have to make and the consequences.

    It is quite a story and so the game is long. It can still capture you for the long run. At least i did it for me.

    So, i think just for the technical reasons, the game is worth the 4 stars.
    I would not mind to see mom model in some other game.

    One of the most intriguing games on our site. The imagery is highly produced and detailed, the characters have more going on than initially looks, and there are a variety of locales outside of the home. The only quibble is that the animation isn't smooth, but it still gets 5 stars because the game as a whole is excellent.

    This game would be recommended to anyone who likes family games with a mind control narrative.

    one of the best games here

    DoD is the pioner of all milf renpy games, in other words, before DoD the renpy games you played were just meaningless stories with the usual models recycled game after game.



    DoD created its own classification for this type of games, it created a model to follow for many others that came after, the originality of DoD served to pave the way, with that I say it all, it is the Johan Cruyff of Renpy-powered games.

    5/5 for originality, models, story, development, choices, and ending

    The mother of this game is god tier. Just a loss for words.

    Great great game, its in my top 5.

    Review Version: Episode 12 Elite v1.0.3 - 1.0 Definitive Edition Elite Patreon

    I liked the graphics and the story idea of this game. Unfortunately, it lacks in the execution (at least for me).

    The characters are very shallow, ethics are tossed aside as fast as needed (there is one moment in which the character's dialog sugest's that he is worried for his dad - after already having invaded their parent's ralationship with no concern whatsoever). The corruption or seduction moves way too fast for my taste and some sex scenes seem to be thrown in just to cover up the lack of story. Expecially the MC's visits of bedrooms during the night or morning are especially strange as the other family member's are still around but must be conveniently locked in their room so they don't accidentally catch the MC being naughty. And don't get mew started on the multiple times characters fear for someone to wake up while they are making them cum (or dry-sticking fingers up their asses).

    Edit: Another thing I should add: Why are the bonus scenes (that are totally unconnected) interrupting the storyline? It feels really distracting and it's not that the story drags on with no sex scenes where the bonus scenes might have been a relief.

    Critique - v1.0

    I don't understand why this game is so highly rated, I had to quit once I'd played about a 3rd.

    The primary themes of this VN are corruption and rape, but it's made far to easy by handing it to you on a platter with the use of magic.

    The only good thing about this game is that the renders are fantastic, all the women are far too attractive though.

    The plot is bland and unimaginative, plenty of games out there give you magical control over other people. What's even weirder is that your mum appears to be into you and jacks you off in your sleep before you even pull any magic moves on her. You also molest your younger 'innocent' sister despite saying earlier that you wanted to keep her out of all of this.

    When it comes to choice there isn't much, you get to make a decision at one point with each girl as to how you treat them and I think that sets the path with them. The rest of the choices come down to what sex acts, nothing much that influences the story, pretty boring.

    So yea, if all you care about is big tits and visuals then you've got some decent jerk off material here.

    If you came for an engaging story that'll turn you on, look elsewhere.

    Now I don't remember when I first tried this. I got bored and left it while for a while.

    I was surprised when someone mentioned this was rapey. In my current experience back then, the sleep molesting was immoral but didn't go quite that far.


    Just tried it again.
    And WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! This is now basically a rape fantasy! Everytime
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    It got toned down. But was still rather disappointing
    Also, while I appreciate a good ass/booty, that doesn't mean I want in the back-door! Too many anal scenes with no choice to skip or avoid.

    Everyone knows about the graphics here so I won't tell you what you already know.

    I might just finish playing this once (cause I can) And then rethink if I ever want to play a lewdlab vn again.

    Edit post completing:
    Right. Now that I finished it, graphics are the only feature that are appealing for me. There is a developed story, but I'm the wrong audience for it. It was less than enjoyable.
