Good game with a MAJOR/FATAL flaw
My review of Lust Epidemic (LE) is in addition to my review of Treasure of Nadia (ToN) here on GOG. The LE is a prequel to ToN, but I ran out of space reviewing ToN, so I am adding something here. The two reviews should be considered together because ToN is the second chapter of LE and shares the same good and bad things with it. THE GOOD: 1. Lust Epidemic is a very interesting game REGARDLESS of adult content. Adult content is cool and all, but it is NOT what makes this game good (see THE UGLY below). 2. Interesting mystery/who-done-it story with many UNEXPECTED twists. This contrasts with most other games, regardless of the genre, where you can sense the upcoming twists a mile away. 3. Interesting characters (some two dozen of them), both male and female, pursuing their own hidden goals. 4. Events are sometimes spooky, sometimes funny. 5. Sensible quests and puzzles. 6. Good art (including animations in adult scenes). THE BAD (small things): 1. Inventory system. It is BAD. Gets in the way of solving quests and puzzles. 2. NO way to track quests – no journal/quest log of any kind, so you’d better have a notepad and a pen to write everything down so you can track your progress towards whatever goal/objective. 3. Pixel hunting!!! PIXEL HUNTING!!! Is this 1995 for fukc’s sake?! … Thankfully, there is not very much of this, but there is ENOUGH to make you google for it. SUCKS! BAD design! 4. All of the above applies to ToN as well. THE UGLY (MAJOR FLAW): 1. The Visual Novel part of the game is atrocious. It is absolutely HORRIBLE. There is WAY-WAY-WAY TOO MUCH USELESS, SUPERFLUOUS, MEANINGLESS, BLOATED TEXT. Especially in the sex scenes (see my ToN review for details). 2. The text in LE contains a horrendous number of spelling and grammar errors which sometimes make it completely UNREADABLE (this is NOT the case in ToN, in ToN they did proofread the text). The devs could have cut the text by 70-80 percent without prejudice to the game!
