Unity - Haunting Havens [v0.1.7] [Ayup Games]

Very good game, fnaf style with good animations, in the future with the addition of story mode it will be even better, support the dev if possibleㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Pretty solid scenes and solid gameplay. Definitely had to look through this forum to find out how gameplay mechanics worked, which sucks, Dev needs to integrate maybe a small tutorial into the game itself, but still a solid game with more to look forward to

Fun little game with some mid tier sex anims. Short enough to warrant a playthrough. No real story to speak of at the moment, so won't be rating that.

Gameplay - 4/5
Very simple loop so far, but fun 3d walking sim. Survive until 4 am, while maintaining a sanity meter. Bonus activities such as cleaning up messes also reward more money. In the meanwhile, you have to monitor the 3 succubi with the TV to not get caught by them. After getting enough money from a couple of runs, you buy the collars to catch 2 of the 3 succubi (so far). If you get caught, you go into a ton of debt, but those come with their own animations as well as an animation to "pay off" the debt to the shopkeeper. You can just start a new savefile to forego the debt. The one criticism is that lit nothing is explained, and you have to find out all the keybinds yourself. E is the interaction button for doors and shit, which it never tells you.

Fappability - 3/5
Animations are passable. All 3 girls have dom animations, and the 2 catchable ones have sub animations. The girls can be somewhat customized (clothes, hair color, eye color). Everything is voiced, and you have both POV and free cams.

Def looking forward to future updates with this. Also to note, the game is unplayable on ultra graphics settings, so just set it to high and you should be fine.

Why 1 star?

1) Game offers you customization of each hottie. Isn't actually applied when you enter the game itself.

2) Very unclear objectives or how to find the SOM items. I hear a book flapping, no idea where it is.

3) Told to clean up the place. Need tools that I lack, and can't find them anywhere.

4) Get snagged by a succubus, choose a sex scene, and then I get a black screen. Timer in top is ticking, so the game isn't frozen. But it refuses to play any sex scene. And you are stuck like this, so you have to restart the game completely.

5) I explored the entire house. Despite seeing the succubi around, I have no idea what to do. No tutorial, no help menu, no objectives.

I might try it again later, but for now, hard pass.

Let's start with optimalization which is hated in other reviews. I know that's not fixing the problem, but on MY config it works good.

It is generally very interesting idea for a game. Im curious how it will grow.
Characters looks cool. Big advantage is added voice acting.
There not so much unity games that allows you to immerse the game- even if for now it is rather short game .
Adding gallery would be great idea.

One of the most unoptimized games I have ever played on this platform.

I have a $4,000+ monster PC: 4090, 7950X3D, 64GB DDR5 CL30 6000 Ram, 7+ GB/s NVMEs
Way above 17k Passmark (99% percentile), Top 1% 3DMark performance, etc.

Getting atrocious peformance, 1% lows 3FPS, regular dips to 25FPSish, just walking in tiny environment sub 50fps, and so on. Stuttery animations, etc..

All other games run perfect with everything maxed out, 4k, raytracing, and all bells and whistles, buttery smooth - as expected on my RIG that outclasses 99% of others.

The visual fidelity is not even worth it, as the GFX are mediocre even at that atrocious performance, I can literally count the lines of the hexagones boobs for example.

Gameplay is early alpha, just a small house with some grassy plot. You can walk around and clean it up a bit or interact with certain spooky objects. There are a few succubi that hunt you, and a shop with some gameplay items.

Overall, 2 stars is the absolute max I could give for being this unoptimized.

Solid Game overall, especially loved the character models, this game has great potential. A few tidbits here and there:

--> Scenes: There are currently 7 scenes in the game if I'm not wrong - 3 Game Over scenes, 3 Subdued Ghost scenes, and 1 extra scene. As I said, the character models are HOTTT, but the scenes could be more polished. The free cam sometimes has a bad angle, and the Threesome Subdued Ghost scene has a terrible POV cam. Another thing is the cum is just pixels. The animation could be more fluid. Voice acting would be a perfect cherry on the top for the scenes.

--> Gameplay: The lack of a tutorial is an annoyance at the start but you can get adjusted to the gameplay loop pretty quick. (Pretty sure they'll add a tutorial in the future) The gameplay is nothing too phenomenal but gets the job done. It could use more spice rather than just be a boring house flipper x FNAF crossover.

--> Graphics: This game's graphics are really good, but the in-game settings could more accessible.

-->Accessibility: The settings are not that great, they could add settings for each separate thingamajig, like Brightness and Anti-Aliasing customisation for graphics, mouse sensitivity, audio controls. Also, the settings menu could do with proper grammar to look clean, and the UI could be designed smoother.

-->Optimisation: Really bad optimisation, runs at a constant 30 FPS on High and 60 FPS on Low on my upper-mid range PC, and the FPS drops are crazzyyy.

-->Other: Expanding on the gameplay stuff, they could go more towards Phasmophobia gameplay by adding ghost evidences. Once you've completed all the cleaning stuff, there's really nothing to do as you sit idle in front of the monitor watching the ghosts. Also, more multiple girl and other fetish scenes would be neat (femdom OwO). The initial voice call was a really cool way to welcome the player, hope to see more creative stuff like that in the future updates. Also, more girls with 2 scenes each would be much better than more scenes for the existing girls. They could add an inventory menu to rearrange your tools order so that you don't have to press 7 to access the broom TvT. Lastly, they could work on making the gameplay loop much less confusing, such as by adding an objectives system and hints throughout the map.

In conclusion, this game is really good. ik i pointed out only the flaws, but I mean it when I say this game is good. I hope y'all work on the flaws and add cool new content, who wouldn't like that? peace

Love it, really do. This is maybe the best "getting chased" game on here. Only thing I have to say is it would be nice to have sliders/selectable options for the graphic settings. Like Bloom , AA Filtering, etc.
And maybe more customization features.

Can't wait for the next update!

Overall I am really excited about this project game looks very promising and will be for sure on my follow list for the next couple of updates.

- for now (v0.1.4) the content is pretty limited to 3 subdue scenes, 3 capture scenes and 1 for resetting your debt to zero if you are in the negative. BUT zero bugs as far as I encountered them on my play-trough. There is just a feeling of general satisfaction you get when everything feels perfectly smooth.

Just a little tip maybe for the developer, it would be nice to have a little tutorial or overviews on all the possible keys you can press that is a bit more elaborate than the one you gave in the beginning of this thread.

In the beginning for example I found the house almost too dark to see anything until i discovered after a bunch of runs that you can press F to turn on a flashlight so you can actually see what you are doing lol.

Once you get the gameplay to earn money, that can take 1~3 runs, you basically have infinite money and can farm for scenes.
The game is still in early development but shows great promise.
Models are good with a little voicing that's always a plus.
Only a few scenes for now (6 AFAIK)

The main issue is going into the game the first runs have a steep learning curve because you don't see much so it can be hard to find the broom and the sponge (it's written in the dev notes that's how I found them) but also find the sanity events however the map is still small so you get to know it fast.

All in all it's a great start hope it'll be developing that way.

[v0.1.4 P1]
Fnaf, but...
What do I do?
Why is it so dark?
Why does my PC turns to red, then white and burns my leg on Medium graphics?

-Story, Originality
You are cleaner/guard, but there are succubuses coming.

-Renders
Okay 3D models.

-Sound
Some sounds and h-sounds.

-Playability
A very dark rooms with glowing props, but you need equipment to deal with them.
But equipment doesn't glow and there is no instructions.
Still doesn't know where you have to put the book (and broom with sponge are in the bathroom).

-Performance
I have i7 and RTX 3070, but...
On medium CPU is ~80%, GPU is ~80%
On low CPU is ~60%, GPU is ~60%

-Bugs
Not sure if there are bugs, but there are a lot of clunky gameplay.

-Animations
Okay h-animations.

-Voice Acting
Didn't hear any.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Well.

After passing pitch black intro location I got to the house
Saw it being FNAF-like
Tried to understand what to do for ~5 minutes
Got spooked by a pink succubus running
Hid
Tried to do something for another 3 minutes
Died
...

Hmm.
Kinda boring...
And junky.

Rating 0.1.2x version.

Positive
Great visuals.
Okay sounds.
Very good animantions.

Negatives
Melting GPU
Poorly optimized
3.5 animations
2+gb for single house and few animations

Game itself? Very simple mechanics clearly placeholder for something bigger.
Looking for furuture updates! But for now it is just nice but bad optmized demo.

My god, it's rare that I see a game of such beautiful quality, polish and potential. Extremely well done @Ayup Games !

The girls are stunning (especially Seraphine ) and I really hope we see more animations for each of the existing girls, various submissive and dominant poses depending on the gameplay situation, and choices of where to cum, etc.

The quality/polish, from the gorgeous animations to how smoothly the game runs, really deserve credit.

I ADORE the game's balance between horror and lighthearted humour, how the girls are both evil and playful. The hilariously over-the-top neon signage for the shop had me chuckling when I first started, honestly I thought it was going to be a trap at first! And with how much the shopkeeper likes to 'forgive' our debts, perhaps she's just building her strength for something like that indeed...

Couple of pointers that could be improved, first one is probably obvious:

1. Cum animation automatically ends the scene without an option to stay 'idling'. Typically it's best to give the player some agency here, have the animation play out and then enter an 'end loop' where they have the option to click End Scene once they're finished with their, um, research (and maintain the option to go back and forth to previous animations, just like in the non-cum anims)

2. Cum itself, currently it seems very placeholder (Seraphine handjob blur) or is even missing entirely (Judi thighjob) - but it's great in the Morgana facefuck where she opens her mouth afterwards, very hot. The animations are already absolutely insane quality - it'd be great to see at least a decent level of quality on the cum to match it. Even if it's just a slightly higher-res sprite shooting into the air, and then spawning in a cum model on the girl's skin or guy's chest etc. - just having something that feels more 'real'.

3 - I think the shopkeeper seems to be missing the Freecam option in the current release that the other scenes have.

Interesting premise, cute and hot models, sadly not many animations, buggy, unfinished, but no doubt worth the few minutes to check it out, currently you can experience 3 failure scenes where you approach a succubus or let them catch you (one doesn't move around, passive, one moves around on both floors and is quite fast, the other moves around only on the upper floor, also fast) and 2 success scenes (red and black, green one is buggy).

Hopefully the mansion will be expanded to include more succubuses and also more different animations for all of them with better control of the scene (speed, where you cum, maybe slight bulges, all the good stuff).

Good game with a lot of potential. Limited content for now, but the animations and interactions seem smooth. A little work on breast shape and physics needs to be done in certain positions, but it is not too bad. The choker is able to be acquired after you buy the bracelet regardless of what it actually says. Some interactions are bugged or very limited with some of the characters.
Some things that can really make the game take off would be:

I like the premise, could be a pretty unique great experience, provided some more work is done. More content, maybe make the protagonist faster by walking since it's a little tedious how slow he is right now and I can see the story mode being really enjoyable.

The models an animations are above any game I have played before! I've played the one of the newer updated versions of the game as well, and I am excited to see it's future! From what the dev has said about story mode, it seems there will be some interesting lore unfolding and I can't wait!

I know the dev has already talked about this, but for others seeing this review, the game doesn't have enough replayability. I believe this has been fixed in the next update, but this version lacks that, I will update my review when the forum gets updated again.

Very nice job!

+Good graphics
+Good animations
+Good characters models, instead of the usual plastic dolls, we have characters with actual human face. They still have the usual plastic body though.

-It's boring, you'll spend 99% of the time waiting for something to happen
-It's a lose to get scene game. If you lose, you contract debt and can't buy item. Later on, you'll be able to subdue the succubi, to do so, you have to lower your sanity enough for them to appear, and hope not to get caught by the one you don't want.

-For how empty and boring this demo is, there are already teasers for the paywall... Patreon paywall.

For some games, I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for the finished version. But paying a subscription for content that is taken hostage by their creators? Nope.

It would be a two stars if it weren't for the good graphics, models and animations.

Also, be aware it's poorly optimized.

I have a very good computer with very good specs, I can run most recent games on ultra 4k at a stable 60fps, probably more.

I can play this one in 1080p 60fps fine in high quality, but it drops to 30 and lower on ultra. And the playground is extremely limited in size. There are 5 rooms on 2 floors.

Updating my Review

This game is in serious need of tutorials, prompts for the doors, and a bit of a bit of a bigger area to interact with the sanity checks (Have to wiggle a bit to get the prompt) After dying over a dozen times learning where everything is and what to do as well as brightening my screen this became very enjoyable and far better then my initial review.

Game is like Phasmophobia in that your walking around interacting with objects to deal with the spirits (Succubus in this case) haunting the place which I did enjoy, the movement needs to be smoothed out I feel as I still feel a bit too much swaying but I got use to it after a bit but definitely difficult to escape the succubus (Especially when hiding when the second one appears) love the mechanic of paying off your debt as it makes it far less of sting to lose. Will keep playing and update my review but definitely gonna keep my eye on this game, if the developer keeps at it, has a good update schedule and adds good content/improves game mechanics and bugs this game will be able topping the games list very fast.
