LifePlay is a 3D life simulation sandbox with some role-playing elements, which allows you to play in 235+ real world cities. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the game has extensive character customization and includes 850+ scenes, depicting life situations where your choice matters. The 3D sex scenes have 330+ animations, accompanied by well-written erotica. The game covers many different fetishes, but all of them are optional and can be disabled or enabled depending on your taste.
LifePlay is a game where you can do almost anything. This is what I like most about this game. But it lacks a lot of features and animations to make the game really hot!
Vinfamy, at the moment, is one of the only “indie” creators who didn’t abandon his game after a year or 2.
Game Length:
Unlimited, can be shorter, depending on what you do, but you can’t die.
Components:
As I said before, it lacks a lot of features (commands/conditions/globals) to make the game really hot and also the animations are a bit average! But, the game is evolving and so is its code/animations, so I’m sure this game will go far. Btw, this is all done by one person. Pretty awesome!
BUT:
There are over 50 free mods that can be added to the game.
You can create your own mods, scenes, characters,….
You can share your story with modders, to turn it into mods (if a modder agrees to do it).
Thematic Integration:
– Low on items/background
– Menu: Not well organized, contains too many items. Should have more categories. A scrolling category selection.
– Popups: Many popups could be changed to action/interaction. Like the scenes with “Should I ask my …”
– Some stores have the wrong background.
Suitability for Casual Gamers: Moderate
Suitability for Medium Weight Game Fans: Moderate to Low
Suitability for Heavy Game Fans: High
Replayability:
Moderate to High.
Actually learning the basics of the game is fairly easy.
There is a large amount of exploration involved in this game, and learning how to play can takes at least 1-3 games.
Beyond that, replayability tends to depend on what you expected before playing this game. For, the game touts that it is 3D but it is actually 2D/3D. You don’t control the character but the camera. Which can be a “turned off” for some.
The big downsides:
In my eyes, 75% of the scenes are not complete, lack of choice, lack of actions and/or consequences.
The creator focuses more on creating mods/scenes, whereas any modders can do that, instead of creating new animations and backgrounds to fit the content they created before.
The game is full of bugs because the creator promise to make 4 updates per month (mostly only content) on his Patreon page, so I guess he have no time to fix his game, creating new animations and background.
The big downsides for modders:
- No real support from the creator.
- The modding guide is outdated
- Not a lots of animations/background available
- No official rules for modder
Other random notes which might be useful for the creator:
– Limitation on opening hours is useless because each city have their own laws.
– Limitation on animations by locations/items is useless too. Why I cannot do yoga without a rug inside my bedroom.
– Some locations like: sport center, police, church,… we can’t take over the business.
Please delete those limitations.
