Ren'Py - Completed - Midnight Paradise [v1.0f Extra] [Lewdlab]

I really like this game. The scenes are hot af, the story is decent, and the models are sexy. My only complaint really is the sandbox element.

Due to the way the sandbox is made, the story becomes very inconsistent, which I find immersion breaking. In the sandbox you're already doing foreplays with a character, but then when it comes to the main story you're still just at first base or second base with the character. The only way to fix this inconsistency imo is by locking certain events of the sandbox behind your progression in the main story. For example, make it so that you can't do sexy yoga with Joyce until you progress past a certain point in the main story. Otherwise, the only way for you to have a consistent story experience is by timing your sandbox events with the main story, but doing this is very annoying and tedious.

One of the best games on this site.
Good renders, good characters, good story.
it really checks all the boxes for me.

Maybe the only downside is that it's taken forever in development, It's been more than 4 years and we're not even halfway there

found this game by looking through different filters and i am very glad that i stumbled upon this game. Very good animations and character design. Not usually a fan of free roam games where you go to certain places at certain times but this is the one and only free roam game I enjoyed.

This game was once the face of Adult games when it released. Now its still good but kinda overlooked by the long period updates take. I gotta say that Joyce is for sure one of the hottest Milfs, but the delay for her content made it so bad that once it happened I was like its aight.

Midnight Paradise seems to be a pretty similar game to the previous game from Lewdlab but bigger and more expanded. This is both a positive and a negative.

Story is pretty basic, it's about some college dropout, who comes back to his home and now lives with his mother and two sisters. This is very typical premise, but it could work if it's done well enough. There also is a dad and brother, and they are involved in the main plot. There is some secrecy, intrigues and more darker themes like drugs and crime. Compared to the previous game, this one is a sandbox game. And there are a lot of sandbox events, separated from the the main plot and girls routes. There are different types of those events, and different levels, but overall thanks to first levels not offering any proper adult content, they're just dragging the game out. For example, some events have like 8 levels, you could easily remove the first 6 and game would not suffer from it. Quite the opposite actually, the game pacing would be improved. In order to unlock more levels, you have to collect affection points and build higher affection level. You getting affection points for doing sandbox events, but some of the newly unlocked events dont give you points (it's very inconsistent, some new events do give you points, some don't) so you pretty much have to do the same, old events to get points. Atleast old events when done second time have new, different dialogue. For one girl her sandbox events unlock later in the game and she has far less of them compared to the main 3 girls, but the pacing is far better and after doing like 6-8 of them you're already doing things which you would be doing with the main 3 only after doing 60-70 events. Right now, as of version 0.25, if you're doing those sandbox events alongside the main plot and girls routes, you have to play for hours to get into proper steamy content. Right now, i would say 50% of the game is just talking, teasing and groping. Those things are fine but maybe not in this quantity. Then 40% is a foreplay and finally 10% of the game is actual proper sex. There are some side chicks who have less content and thanks to that you can get something with them quicker. But with the main cast, if you're playing rather slowly doing everything there is, you won't get any penetration sex even for 20 hours. It's not great, is it. And when you reach those penetration scenes it's pretty much an end of available content right now. And since the game is supposed to end rather sooner than later i wager there won't be that much more sex content added. So basically you have hours of teasing and foreplay, one or two (depending on character) penetration scenes (plus some more in sandbox events) and that's it. While some side girls barely have any content at all. One of them have 4 scenes and 2 of them are extra scenes (more about extra scenes later). Distribution of content between all girls definitely could be a lot better.

Renders quality is pretty good for the most part, but on some of them there is very noticeable "noise". Also, sometimes i think there is too much effects, like too much blur or depth of field or something. It looks especially weird when even characters or their body parts, while being in front, are blurred. Backgrounds are good, and lighting is really good, it looks pretty realistic. Animations are solid, some of them are a bit stiff and sometimes there is some clipping. Models are great tho, especially skin look really impressive, possibly the best looking skin i have ever saw in a porn game. Feets also look very good. And finally some game with reasonable amount of feet content. I have to say that, Mom (Joyce) is like one of the best moms/milfs in the genre. Very, very good looking model. But progression with her is the worst. Only in the very recent update we'll finally be able to have sex with her. I purposely left it for last, so i was able to have sex with her for the first time after 35 hours of playtime... Scenes itself are rather good looking, pretty hot with some good dialogue. Some of the scenes could be a bit longer. There are a lot of extra and elite scenes which are accessible only from the gallery. Thats stupid, they should be integrated into the actual game. Music is pretty good, i don't believe there is a lot of tracks in the game but it works pretty ok. Music changes depending on what's happening so that's good. No sounds during scenes tho, no moaning etc, so it's a bit disappointing.

Midnight Paradise is a very difficult game to rate. Could the sandbox events be better with better pacing? Yes. Could there be more proper sex scenes and less teasing? Yes. But is the game actually enjoyable to play? Is it hot enough? Yes and yes. Despite the all negative things i had to say about this game, MP is definitely worth playing. Good visuals, great models, not terrible plot and hours of sexy content. It could be more sexy, with better pacing but still, the overall amount of renders and animations is pretty damn high. Like, right know the game just need more and more proper sex scenes: in sandbox events, in girls routes, more booty calls and sleepovers. Game just need more sex everywhere. There is already 20-30 hours of foreplay, we need something more. Midnight Paradise is a better game than 3/5 game, but its not a 4/5 game just yet. It could be a 4/5 game only when it will get more proper sex content to balance out the proportions between teasing and actual sex.

[Last update: v0.25 Elite]

1. Renders: 10/10
The designs are extremely detailed, the girls are pretty and there are always multiple angles.

2. Animations: 10/10
For that, I recommend using the 60 fps mod.

3. Sex scenes: 6/10

I've been playing this game for about 3-4 years now. And it's CRAZY that this game revolves around having a "pleasure pill", the MC gets the whole supply of it and then becomes rich out of it... and yet, even after 5 years of development, the MC/female characters don't use this pill EVEN ONCE.

What's even the point? Unless this game is just halfway through (which I doubt), dev wasted a gold mine of sexual content.

That being said, the sex scenes are pretty good, but they could be a lot better.

4. Plot: 8/10
It has various intriguing mysteries going on. It's not perfect, but makes you want to find out.

Have one of the best female models. I can see developer has put a lot of effort in details. I love how every female looks in this game. Although the sandbox element is not that hard to figure out some people may find it annoying especially the grinding but I loved it nonetheless. Really looking forward to how main story progresses.

What other reviews don't mention is that to progress the story, you are FORCED into lewd scenes with characters you might detest and despise. You just don't have a choice and if you don't advance the story, you also can't make progress with the girls you actually like. Such lazy writing!

The main story is weak and has plot holes (ofc).

What's worse, the connection to the girls and their characterization aren't well done either. This is bc your interaction with them is reduced to small periodic events according to a literal calendar that you need to consult. These are simply too short but even the non-periodic events aren't fleshed out enough, and thus character development suffers.

You also need a mod to be able to change your name and to know what to do next in some situations. It's so stupid!

Most girls are very pretty and if you appreciate seeing beautiful feet, you're in luck. But too many lewd scenes are surprisingly short and fail to satisfy.

Because of what I mentioned above, the substantial grind you are put through is sadly not worth it.

Overall, this game has forced sexual interactions, poor characters, nonsensical plot and a lot of useless grind. I'm giving it two stars for the fact that it has some male-dom scenes which too few games have.

[After playing v0.25, but not even doing everything available there]

I would really want to rate it higher, but I can't. I really liked Dreams of Desire (their previous game) and was in fact the first AVN I've ever played, so they're responsible of me getting into this at all. But Midnight Paradise didn't do it for me. First, I think that even when I like AVN sandbox, this one doesn't seems to do it for me, Lewdlab did it better in Dream of Desire and I think the straightforward style with maybe some minor not-linear scenarios would be better. The grinding is a bit boring, and the way to manage the location we're going tiring, moving around the house should be for example done in a different way, with all locations accesible by a single click, because just going from one location to the other to do the scene you need and having to mandatory pass the time at night going to your bed and sleeping is a pain in the ass.

Then dialogue and storywise... somehow it seems the story has potential apart from the porn, but the dialogues seem a bit too long for the actual content, and the way it forces you to advance in everything is what makes me think it would be better as a linear AVN, because as a sandbox you feel forced to do things in a particular way and never truly free to discover the story the way you wanted.

Porn and graphics are great, the way the corruption progress and everything is nice, and it would just get a huge help if the things I said before were managed better. I didn't try, but probably with some of the Walkthrough and Cheat mods the experience would be better, as you probably wouldn't spend so much time exploring the possibilities for nothing when only a few options are available.

I think I will probably try again when it's closer to complete anyway, maybe they manage to improve those things when closer to the end.

Wow, loved Joyce (MOM) sex & tour content very much. Renders looks realistic also those posing as well as different positions were arousing for both love route and obedience route.

I liked new aspect of adding corruption with obedience route, especially extra girls and characters in sauna scenes. Massage scene was also quite interesting.

Overall, Joyce content is nice but some main story content would have made it perfect. Maybe next update it'll be satisfying.

Overview, main story is ( crime, drugs, sci fi muder experimentation ) interesting and mysterious. The family and business angel adds extra layer to it. It's possible that MC's father and brother are running experiments on Joyce and others.

MC sells a special illegal drug which is also a waste / byproduct of original experiments run by the mysterious villain and his organisation.

There's another ninja type organisation secretly fighting against this villain's organisation. MC has either lost his old memories (causing headaches) or will be playing a key role. However nothing is clear at the moment.

Corruption and side stories are quite hot, all female characters have interesting scenes.

The game started at the wrong plot. I don't hate douchy MC but a douchy plus dumbass MC who doesn't have common knowledge of doing drug dealing then getting used by that shitty Lawyer Thorne then doing all the stupid dumb things.
Then the game mechanism. I don't really hate Sandbox or RPG, in fact I prefer them over VN because a well made sandbox can give you experience close to reality. But this one use repeating sandbox event which I fucking hate.
Anyway the render is good and the models are great too. The incest is nicely laid out too. Only because of that it gets 2 stars.

It isn't bad but it doesn't deserve 3 stars.

Great scenes ruined by too much dialogue which feels like filler and unnecessary.

The models are excellent, they all look perfect which is ruined by the story. With all these great models there should have been more scenes and angles but there are only a few angles in multiple scenes. The angles are repeated in several scenes some of them just looking wrong.

There is too much dialogue. This is a visual novel, not an actual novel to have this level of dialogue. Most of it is exposition and inner monologues explaining what is happening on screen. That feels completely unnecessary and makes the game actively worse. The previous game of this dev, DOD also had too much dialogue but it wasn't this bad. Most of the dialogue could be removed, making the game much better.

The story is nonsensical and it takes itself too seriously. The MC is an asshole from the start to the end with little development but the other characters act as he grew as a person, is no longer an asshole and is a great person which is not. There is a good plot in there somewhere and that makes this failure horrible. It could have been better is they just condensed the story and cut down on all the useless dialogue. The plot is way too slow.

The scenes are good with repetitive angles but there is so much bad dialogue and grind to reach them.
The music is repetitive. There are only a few songs. With such long scenes, they loop for too long.
This could be a great game if it was shorter with a condensed story, less dialogue, less grind, more scenes with no dialogue and different angles.

The game is just too damn long for no reason.
Sure the models are great but at some point, it's not enough.

The music is useless. There are two to three loops of music so most of the time, the music is off sync with the mood of the scene.

The characters aren't engaging. The MC is a spoiled kid who turns to crime to earn money when Daddycut him off. The girls are just here to like the MC and that's it. You spend hours grinding their stories just to have handjob, blowjob, assjob, fucking in the order. What a waste of time because the storylines aren't great and some are really stupid.

The dialogues are so frustrating. They talk, and talk, and they think. You have to read 3000 lines during a sex scene so imagine outside of that.

The last update killed me and I don't know if I want to play the game again.

5/5 legendary game. I don't understand those who give low scores, the fact that the game is sandbox makes it better, if I can fulfill the tasks easily even with my low English, anyone can do it. Anyway, it's not a game where you slap 10 times and new content opens.

I don't even need to write anything about the content of the game, the visuals, rendering and animations are outstanding. The story is enough, after all, we are not reading a literary work.

I absolutely love this simple game. I play different games for different reasons, and when I'm in the mood for incest fap material, this one really hits the spot.

• The visuals are exceptional. Some of the best renders and animations I've come across.
• The models are incredibly HOT. I'm talking about top-tier "hot slutty models" here, not just cute or attractive.
• For an incest enthusiast like me, this game checks all the boxes.
• The story is okay, nothing spectacular, but that's not a big deal for me when it comes to these kinds of games. I'm not going to deduct points for that.

Overall, this game is a perfect fit for what I'm looking for in this genre.

4.5 stars

Mainly reviewing because people are going overboard with giving low ratings to a great game. Yes, there's grind and yes, it's annoying. But the story and scenes make up for it. The creator has even implemented a pretty useful walkthrough app thing and, I may be misremembering, a cheat option. But the game is sexy as fuck if you can bear with a bit of clicking through screens.

This should be a much higher rated game, but the sandbox ruins it. If this was a VN it would be a 4.5 star game, even with the ridiculous plot. Instead, you have to grind so much that the whole thing is a nuisance to try and play.

Great VN.

It starts off ROUGH though so beware of that. The MC starts off as a giant dirt bag, which I personally do not like at the start of a game. I'm not against the MC being an asshole but I personally would like to be able to choose between good and evil.

I see a lot of people review games in an unfair way in my opinion so I try not to be THAT guy.

Once you get pass the first act and choices become available to you, the game is a lot more enjoyable with a fairly interesting story. It seems generic at first but if you pay attention to the story details you can see some creative writing.

The character dialog's also flow very naturally and is very well done. The only VERY minor grip I have with any of the dialogue is when the father peaks to the mother both of there dialogue boxes are pink and you have to slow down to understand who is supposed to be speaking the mom or the dad. 99.9 % otherwise is excellent.

The renders are surprisingly well done, the mother looks like a gorgeous mother, not a pinup doll nor a teen pretending to be a mother. All other renders and animations are simply great. There is enough sex and adult content to keep your interest but the story alone is great.

My favorite character is the teacher, her story flows naturally and is fairly believable without to much suspension of disbelief.

Now the Negatives! The UI interface could be better and more intuitive. I played this with the MODS that point you in the right direction as to what to do NEXT. Without that mod I would be lost and clicking over and over again trying to figure out how to advance the story. Other games using this style of point and click fail and this would be a fail without the modders help. Luckily for this dev team the modders have been hard at work making this a great title. So download the mod to get the 5 star experience that I'm giving this VN. Without the mod I would rate this a 3 star game. The Mods make this a 5 star recommended game for me.

I have a Love/Hate relationship with Midnight Paradise.

It was one of the very first adult games I'd ever played. And at first, it felt as if it was broken, with just a collection of locations and very little going on after the first segment.
Then I realised, I'd entered the realm of the grind game phenomena.

It was a game where the juice IS worth the squeeze, but the squeeze felt at times as if it were constructed to test the patience of a saint.
Not that a saint would ever play such a lewd, disgustingly perverted wonderfully rendered game.

What I loved about Midnight Paradise were the characters, apart from the MC, who seems void of any personality or redeeming qualities.

But then we have hotties such as Joyce, Ruby, Isabel, Ms Jane and Sofia to help soften the blow of a game which feels empty at times.

The women and sex scenes were beautifully rendered and executed.

The poor twin brother seemed far more interesting and complex than the frat boy MC.

Anyway, I have to give it excellent because of the female characters it introduced me to.
And the beautifully rendered sexual interactions and amount of choice.
The depravity was also first class.

Although, I kinda wanted it to offer more dominant/sub/NTR options.

I think this game has exellent quality. The renders was satisfactory and there was not any problem paying through.
The female characters in this game are to my satisfactory. Each character has own fitting personalities and body figure with detail. I think it is important to differ the looks of characters because the differences in detail makes the game visually more appealing.
I also liked the part where there is a main story line and small everyday events that escalate the affection. It helps to deviate the seriousness of the main story and make the game rich in contents.
In general I felt like this game had abundant amount of contents with satisfactory quality.
