If you're lookin' for a nut then you're definitely in the right place, but the fact that the storyline is good won't hurt either. Playing one-handed is a viable option, for those to whom it may concern.

This is a spoiler-free review, but check the footer at the bottom for more useful information.

The Facts

Lust Epidemic is a Point & Click style adult adventure game running on the RPG Maker engine. This is the debut NLT Media release on the Steam platform despite being the third published game under the development studio's belt. NLT Media is also currently working on Treasure of Nadia, and you can also choose to support this developer directly via their Patreon.

The Opinion

I've gotta say straight outta the gate that this game is impressive...and I don't mean "impressive for an adult game" either. It may be an RPG Maker game but the engine is utilized to great effect and stuffed with custom assets. Lust Epidemic is essentially a Point & Click adventure with all the things you'd expect such as collecting items, solving puzzles, using items to solve puzzles, unlocking obstructed paths, and even hidden collectibles to find throughout. Then there's the story, which despite this essentially being a "pr0n game" for all intents and purposes, is actually pretty interesting and engaging with a little bit of plot twist as well. You can read the store page description yourself so I won't bore you with a rearranged and regurgitated synopsis, but what I'll say instead is that the premise and the story that follows it is actually pretty reasonably grounded enough where this could maybe possibly happen in real life. There are some kinks to explore as well which I won't spoil but, as I'm sure you saw in the key art for the game or in screenshots, there's a religious sister...so if you have a nun fetish and play your cards right, you can live it out vicariously through the MC. That being said regarding kinks though, the name of the game is mature women, so if you're into MILFs then you'll be in for quite a treat here with all these voluptuous dames for you to get to know better. There are some of the usual character archetypes for the genre so you'll have to cater to their ego and personality traits to be successful since your decisions and actions matter with them. The writing and dialogue are pretty good, carrying the narrative nicely and leading into mostly believable coitous circumstances or salacious shenanigan-filled situations. The addition of a viewable map to the location you're in at any time was a nice touch, along with being able to see the collectable images you've unlocked on your phone and a journal of your [completed] conquests. You can track your progress with each of these sultry, rendered ladies so you know where you stand with them and choose whom to focus on if you're inclined to a specific character over the others. There's also a scene replay gallery as well if you simply want to look upon your accomplishments or just relive all of your unlocked sexcapades unhindered (since most, if not all, are animated). This isn't an entirely linear game and there are routes or scenes you can completely miss out on, so any replay value would come from anything you missed, but otherwise you can unlock everything in one go if you're thorough (or use a walkthrough).

The Conclusion

There's a lot of game on offer for the asking price, and honestly, I think the $9.99 retail is a steal for how much content you get along with the high quality renders and substantial gameplay. As far as I'm aware, this is a one-man development studio and all 3D images and animations are made by said developer. As a complete product that's quite a lot of work that was done and done very well, boosting the production value higher than many other similar titles. All the pieces fit together cohesively, and with RPG Maker no less, so I feel the dev could be commended for keeping a lower price point considering the quality. I do recommend this title, which I'm sure is obvious by now, but I highly recommend it to those who play adult games regularly and want something different with a substantial story paired alongside their big-a$s ✞itties.
