Midnight Paradise

MIDNIGHT PARADISE (all caps by the way) is a lewd game that was released just a couple of years back. It is a pretty interesting story with some great graphics and I do feel it is worth taking a closer look at. It is one of those games that may not be trying anything new, but it does do what it does very well and that is all you can really ask for in my opinion. Keep on reading to see if this is a game that is going to tickle your fancy!

Living The Life

The premise for the story of MIDNIGHT PARADISE is one that I thought was pretty interesting. The main character is a dude called Connor and he is a bit of a bro who just lives life the way he wants and does not really care about his future. Things take a turn when he flunks out of college and is forced to return home with his strict dad and siblings and try to figure out his life.

I found the story to be rather slow-paced, but that is actually a pretty good thing. There are many characters in this game and they are all quite well written so you will be glad it goes a bit slower so you can take it all in. It can be a bit hard to keep track of, but that I think could make or break the story for you.

Be Your Own Man

The gameplay on offer here is right around what you would expect in a lewd visual novel. You control Connor our “hero” in MIDNIGHT PARADISE and you get to try and let him live the best life you see fit for him. You get to make various choices for him that move the story along and also will drive to the kind of “relationship” you will have with the various characters that you come across with.

What I think is pretty neat about this is that it takes many elements from various visual novel games. By this I mean the game has a bit of incest going on, but there is also harem style stuff and corruption elements too. Rather than focusing on just one thing, this game dabbles in many and I like it.

Man, I Really Like The Way You Move

The realistic-looking characters were what originally made me gravitate towards MIDNIGHT PARADISE. This game has some great-looking characters and there is a ton of great little details that make them come to life. While the “stills” are great, what really surprised me here was the animation. There is some great animation on offer here and way more than I thought there would be. Some of the sex scenes are very well done and way hotter thanks to there being animation.

I need to put my critical hat on for a second though. While the characters look great and the animated sex scenes certainly got my motor running. I do have to say that the faces of the characters could have done with having some animation to them as this would have made things even better in my opinion.

Pros:

• I enjoyed the story that the game told
• The slow burn story works very well
• It has some great looking characters
• Plenty of animation in the sex scenes
• It mixes different “things” together very well

Cons:

• I wish it had facial animations during the sex scenes
• Is this a “jack of all trades” kind of game?

It would be so easy to look at Midnight Paradise and just say that this is a game that is all about its looks, but I ended up getting way more connected to some of the characters than I was expecting.

Back Home

Connor is the name of the young man who is the main character here, and he has been living a pretty carefree life for the last couple of years while away at college. He now has to return home, try to rebuild his life, and also deal with some of the people he left behind. The game has several love interests for you to interact with, and I found the writing for some of these to be fantastic as I did build a connection with at least two of the girls.

Taking It One Step At A Time

I liked the gameplay here, and while Midnight Paradise may seem like it is a very typical lewd visual novel game, it has some dating sim elements where you build up a relationship with the ladies in the game. Of course, it is up to you how you want to go about this, but I truly did feel like there were some real branching paths and different outcomes based on the choices I was making. At the end of the day, you cannot ask for more than what this game is offering when it comes to this style of game.

Why Did He Leave???

The fact that I liked ALL of the love interests in the game as far as their designs go tells you a great deal! The game goes for a more realistic style as far as the visuals go, but the ladies have these incredible bodies that really did blow my mind, you know the type, great athletic builds with huge boobs! Plus, there is some very nice animation here; one of the hottest scenes for me was not even one of the sex scenes; it was when one of the girls was working out.

Pros:

• The game looks fantastic
• I really felt like my choices mattered
• The characters were easy to connect with

Cons:

• Your enjoyment is based on whether the characters click with you
• I wish there were more XXX scenes!
