Book of Lust

When we lock eyes with someone and we are taken over with an insatiable urge to get with that person, its an interesting feeling to say the least. Well, imagine that you’ve hopelessly fallen for a demon succubus and in an unprecedented turn of events, you’ve released them into the world and you’ve gotten hold of their spellbook and have access to the arcane arts. That’s exactly what kind of experience Book of Lust offers and it’s quite a magical one too.

Handsomely hand-drawn

This games art style doesn’t have its roots in reality, instead opting for a much more light-hearted animated style with hand-drawn stylings, with a number of the characters being anthropomorphic in nature.

The presentation is still primarily still images above all else but the cartoonish style lends itself well to the events that take place in the story. Not to mention that the scenes are drawn with fine details such as intricate shadows for example. Overall, a nice cell shaded design that’s really easy on the eye.

Interesting Mechanics

It’s true that these games often get criticised for calling themselves games at all. The interactive nature of these mature titles is slim to none in most cases, with art and narrative being the key focus. However, with this title, it’s clear that the developers wanted to add more layers to the core gameplay and have managed to incorporate a number of slick features to set it apart from other games within the adult genre.

The game has you play a more involved, RPG style role in the story. You control your character and alongside the usual narrative-driven aspects and dialogue, you also have a stamina bar, a mana bar and an Exp bar. You can level up your character through interactions, events and exploration and you can acquire skill points that will aid you as you progress through the game. It’s not elaborate by any means but its a lot more than other adult games offer, it allows the player to feel more involved in the events on screen and for that, the developer has to be commended.

A Fantasy Furry Frenzy

Book of Lust is a game that actually plays like a game, which is one of the core reasons why it deserves praise within the adult gaming community.

Not only does it offer nice art styles, competent narrative and well-written characters, but it also allows the player to be part of the adventure, grow their avatar, learn new skills and when the time comes, get down and dirty with the use of arcane powers. What more could you ask for?
