    Just played the game from start to finish.
    I liked the overall pretence and character building.
    Scenes were nice and the LI were very likeable.
    Excited for the Mia content as well.
    Only point of improvement I guess was the looping mechanism where you had to cycle through a few times before getting the correct randomly generated scene.

    Shambling through the streets of lewd trying to find an apartment, I find myself stumbling upon a well kept den filled with two beauties wanting me to warm a bed for them. However the more and more I find myself trying to keep them entertained and the house well kept, the more I start to feel as though I'm the one being taken advantage of.

    Welp, as you can probably tell this game is a bit of a divided experience for me, and some biases that you can probably glean from the opener is that I have played this game for a while and have some caveats that I think crop up from a perspective that stretches all the way back to when this game was first released. This game wants you to both be a people pleaser, while at the same time wanting you to be a coomer with supposedly horny roommates. However, I feel as though that balance at times gets a little whack in how the contextual scenes start to evolve, but more on that later.

    Anywho, onto the review.

    Confined and Horny is essentially everything that the title invites. You are a bumbling protag with some means of personality but for the most part you're a self insert MC that needs a place to stay. You find an apartment filled with your 2 love interests and within a week the tele states that unfortunately covid some virus has spread throughout the world and everyone has to stay confined. There's no real evolution on that part of the story, the most it does is confine you (hence the title) to the apartment without having to worry about an overworld beyond that.

    And with everyone being confined, everyone starts to get horny. Or, well at least that's what the title promises but it's a little more nuanced than that. Like living in our default states that covid invited for most of the world, being confined and horny invites a lot of thoughts as to where you can take this premise. Will there be corruption? Will the ladies start to get more daring, frustrated and enamored with MC doing a lot of work around the house while praising them? Will this introduce a free use kind of setting the more you start to score? Again yes and no, which I think is the game's main problem.

    To explain this better, the gameplay is cookie cutter stat grinding with a little bit of a twist. This is where I think the game unfortunately invites the most frustration for me, and potentially for other players depending on how you take to the grind. The majority of this game is spent on grinding conversations for your 2 LI's, for both affection and lust. These will then influence chances on sexual actions you can choose later on, an example of this can be that early on you have low affection and/or lust, the percentage on doing a successful first baser hug will only hover only around 25%. Bump up said stats then %'s start to usually hover around 80-90%, however, every girl too has phases they can level up to, once you max out both affection and lust you get a new phase that invites new lewd scenes, new lewd actions and yet your stats tank.

    When your stats tank, namely due to the stats now having a new ceiling to climb to, suddenly all the previous actions you could do now are back to shittery and you can no longer hug your LI's without them telling you to stop pervin' out after they themselves started giving you handy's and the like, thus leading you back into the conversation grind. That's perhaps my biggest gripe with this game in the teeter-tot give and take it constantly asks of you, so much of this game is tied to upping the %'s so that you can start lewding out much more smoothly, yet there are so many times this game takes that away from you just when you think things are starting to thaw out lewd-wise.

    I could forgive this if every new phase opened up more options in the grind, which it does, kinda, but in spite of getting to a point where you are banging, if not having said LI's invade your room to bang they are still constantly bouncing from wanting a fuckfest palace to being overtly weirded out by your lewd intents no matter what their stats say. It feels like the game is missing a more smoother progression rather than feeling as though all you're doing in the end is unlocking more scenes. As with every scene unlock, things essentially still stay the same, the LI's still want the same answers from the same conversations (which never change) and the only thing that evolves is the extension of certain scenes, and/or introducing new ones while still maintaining that status quo of how responsive these LI's are going to be with RNG stat choices.

    This can be further found out between two other stats you have to unfortunately wade through, being dirty (you need a shower every other day) and your boner meter. Yeah, MC is perpetually stiff, and if your half-chub goes to full mast unfortunately the LI's are creeped out on you sailing it openly, in spite of whether you already are banging out in the open in the household. With these two you have to balance them out or again you tank the stats of one of the LI's.

    Which...I just don't get it. This is the point the game has broke me in this incessant grind you have to constantly wade through. The shower part I get if you want something to have the player keep an eye on, sure, but so many times this game breaks its own context on the latter. Girls are still creeped out by you choosing a lewd comment but they can barge in on you jackin' off and tease you as your choking the chicken. Or one of them can ambush you in the night to give you a random BJ yet still be taken aback at you gawking at her when she does dishes in her underwear, and Jesus Christ, you can have the stiffest boner in the world after giving oral to one of them in the living room and suddenly they say you're the biggest pervo loser for swinging that monster around thus pissing them off.

    And that's basically Confined and Horny. I wanted at first to give it four stars with the feeling I got after sticking with it for so long but this game's constantly trying to both invite and prevent it's own concept from happening. It does have great scenes, a nice scenario and both LI's have well-written (porn-wise) personalities when you do go through their more intimately written scenes. Aside from that though the actual skeleton of this game that you interact with most of the time can start to really show you the cracks after even a single playthrough.

    Overall 3/5, if the grind can be reworked then I think it'd be more than ample at sitting at a five but after a couple runthroughs this game does start to feel like a three star triumph trying it's best.

    Good game , this is one of the very few HS games i found decent because of the effort in animations and stuff that is being put.

    Secondly the grind isn't too annoying which is always a plus point as well

    Thirdly rating 5 cuz made by a very bad tekken french player who's lowkey homie.

    loved it. Characters actually felt more real than most porn games, had good content, story wasn't bad. Simple yet very effective. Ticked every box for me, and i am not entirely sure why. high quality all around

    Solid game with good animations and models, can be a little bit grindy at times but the hints are good.

    Decent if basic dialog and story, look forward to more content.

    Sound effects in latest patch definitely make a difference (in a good way).

    I do wish there was more difference in the dialog as the game progresses/relationships change

    Renders are ok nothing special, animations are ok nothing special.

    The gameplay loop is fine until the dev decided it would be a good idea to add RNG to events. I don't think there is anything more fun in a game than failing 80%+ rolls multiple times in a row. Not to mention having to shower and masturbate constantly, because most dudes walk around with a perma boner when there is a female in their vicinity. MC acts like a 13 year old boy who just started getting erections.

    Adding RNG and chores to inflate game time is not fun at all. You might as well just add magic items you can buy on Patreon that give you 100% chance to succeed in events.

    Holy hell, this is a great game.

    I don't know what I was expecting, but man... it way exceeded my expectations.

    Excellent graphics, great dialogue, great mechanics, great story...

    I really have nothing bad to say about this game. It has a great build up to it.

    I do hope to see more characters in the future (the two main are awesome, but I think there's room for more), and maybe some additional items to be able to expand what you can do to the girls.

    Other than that, easy 5/5 stars. Well done, dev! Keep up the great work!

    I love this game! The story was really satisfying in how we progress with the girls. Emily was my personal favorite. The animation and style is very nice as well. This is probably my favorite 3d game yet! I cannot wait for more!

    Game has gotten better since its inception. Granted it caters to Patreon clients and its updates are few and far between, but its come a long way since it first came out and my new rating reflects that. I myself considered becoming a patreon, but I thought that $7 was just a little steep for the bonus scenes and "God" mode.

    Decent, but limited.


    Something like this, you'd expect different paths, and options while you progress.

    There's none of that. Everything is incredibly linear.

    You get the girls' affection up by complimenting their outfits and generally being nice to them.

    Then you check the help to see how to trigger the next stage. Or you randomly check on them during their schedule.

    You would expect, that as your relationship progresses they stop being upset by some of the comments you make or walking around with a hard on. Nope. Even after you've reached the point you're fucking them, they still freak out if they see you walking around aroused.

    Which brings in the player's Lust and Hygiene values. Why do these exist? All they do is force you to shower and masturbate (for which there is a pointless mini-game) periodically.

    Then there's the random chance elements.

    For some reason, in order to progress each girl you occasionally have to make a dice roll to see if you convince them of something. You can increase your chances by increasing their affection or lust. Succeed and you unlock the next story bit. Fail, and those values go down, meaning, guess what, you need to grind their affection back up by complimenting their clothes again.

    The Olivia route has the worst example of this. You need to pass the same check 4 times in order to reach the end of her route. And each check was only available once every other day. So not only do you have to grind her affection back up if you fail, you need to grind in game days (being sure to shower and masturbate regularly) just try again.

    When I got to that part, I got a streak of shit luck and failed 6 times in a row (>75% success chance each time). This was not fun.

    Over all the game has some decent ideas but is incredibly shallow linear. And it has some mechanics that just seem poorly implemented or bad ideas from the word go.

    Version 0.3, roughly 2 hours of content if you play casually.
    HTML ran smoothly locally for me.

    Loved all of it so far.
    Great renders, cute girls, simple gameplay without much grind.
    Constant new scenes unlocking.

    Basic story makes sense and it jumps straight into it, no text dumps you button mash through.

    Only two minor negatives:
    1. MC gets horny too fast and it is tedious masturbating constantly else you get a significant setback on objectives. Personally I would halve all MC lewd thought gains.
    2. Girls jump on your dick too fast. I prefer slower corruption and was hoping for more ENF / Voyeur scenes.
    For example they run out of clothes and you catch them doing laundry in underwear. More variety and consistency of outfits throughout the day would be amazing.

    Regardless, it was excellent for a 0.3 and will follow.
