Unity - Onhold - SinStory [v0.9.76 EA] [XtreamAnim]

I had known about this game for quite some time but hesitated to try it due to its unjustifiably low rating. After playing it, I can confidently say that the game is fantastic.

First, let’s address the common complaints about grind. From my experience, there’s none. You can earn all the money you’ll ever need on your first day working at the massage parlor. Massage, speech and sex skill can be maxed out within 2–3 days, at least to the point of avoiding any soft locks.

The sex scenes are sensual, interactive, and reasonably believable. It also runs exceptionally well, throughout my entire playthrough, there wasn’t a single FPS drop, freeze, animation glitch, or crash to desktop. And I was playing it on a 10-years-old laptop.

That said, the game isn’t without flaws. Here are two notable issues I encountered:

Controls: They can be quite frustrating. You navigate the levels and engage in the minigames (like the sensual scenes) using your mouse cursor, but you also rotate the camera with the mouse. There’s no way to lock the camera, so during sex scenes when you need to click specific objects, places, or body parts, the camera often shifts unintentionally. This leads to moments where, for example, your cursor ends up at the top-right corner of the screen, while the view has automaticaly shifted back to center. As you try to reposition your cursor, the camera moves again, creating a very clunky and disruptive experience.

Missable Content: There’s time-sensitive content, including an entire storyline that’s locked out if you miss an event on (I believe) Day 8. In a sandbox game, this feels out of place. Some players might not consider this a drawback, but I personally found it frustrating.

Overall, despite these shortcomings, the game’s pros far outweigh its cons. If you’re on the fence because of the ratings, don’t let that hold you back, it’s worth a try!

While the game shows great potential, some fundamental shortcomings prevent it from fully realizing that potential. The game engine and 3D gameplay mechanics are particularly intriguing and provide a solid foundation, especially for an adult game. However, these technical achievements are unfortunately overshadowed by weak storytelling and lackluster dialogues. The story feels so shallow and uninspired that it pushes the player away rather than drawing them in. This highlights, once again, why storytelling is crucial in an adult game.

The developer seems to have focused excessively on certain mechanics (such as the massage system) but has completely neglected the need for the game to tell a compelling story. It is evident that a structure where players spend hours grinding for stats instead of engaging with a meaningful narrative will fail to deliver long-term satisfaction. Instead of exploring character motivations or delving into the meaning behind events, the game traps players in a pointless grind loop.

These shortcomings reveal a missed opportunity to keep the player’s interest alive. If more effort had been devoted to the narrative, the game could have provided an experience where both the characters felt more fleshed out and the player could establish a stronger connection with the story. Additionally, presenting the progression system in a clearer and more motivating manner could have made the game more cohesive in both gameplay and storytelling aspects.

i really liked the massage gameplay, if there were more types of bodies it would be just perfect for me, most of the games lastly are almost the same and they bored you after a while.

more games like this please

Overall the game is good and has a high potential. Good points: sex scenes are pov, fetishes are included, sex controls are simple, graphics are good, no optimization problems, the tutorial is explanatory and simple, the scenes can be replayed.
Downsides : Massages are not this slow even in reality, the character ejaculates too fast and sex scenes are short, no sound effects (moans), character needs could be a little less, skill points and money per work are not enough.

see the idea and premise is really good. but the game is just wayy to slow paced. even with the cheats. you have to go back to your house to use em, so it makes the conveniance of cheats redundant for the most part, as its supposed to speed things up, but you're often having to slowly make your way back home, on the pc, to then going back out. even then, the cheat selection isnt the greatest. add things like instant red bar stats for activities, or a multiplier to minimise the grind of the red stat.

my problem is, its a chore to do anything. the interrogation is a kinky idea, and could be great. but most of the interaction options you have available you cannot use. i got a vaginal scene, and then a cumshot blowjob scene. thats it. no fingering, no groping, no licking, just vaginal. it almost feels like a gimmick tbh. theres rarely any opportunities in the worlds activites that utilise the tools you have to its full extent. atleast sexually speaking.

the massage job is just wayyyy to slow paced. after one customer, its a chore. you get to max red bar, ask her to remove clothing, she agrees, the bar goes to the bottom, and none of the massage options raise it, as you've already done them, and increasing your strength in the massage poses decreases it further. then getting your dick out removes them all together. now youre having to repeat the same loop. its just way too slow.

the interrogation is a great idea, weve all seen the theif caught porn genre. its awesome. but the sexual options is lacking. vaginal only. no ass licking, no pussy licking, no fingering of ass or pussy. just a vaginal scene and then a blowjob scene to climax. its dull. if youre lucky enough to get passed the "im calling my lawyer" which happens far too quickly and too often. if youre max speech, you should have a counter speech option to stop the interrogation from ending. so yeah, that job just doesnt utilise barely any of the interactions. and the sex interactions is way to limited.


it just seems like this game is slow paced in everything to a point where its so fucking mind numbing to traverse the tasks at hand. and then the payout isnt worth it. as its heavily restrictive, consideration the gimmick of the tools you have "at your disposal".

the lack of sex sounds (skin colliding, etc) is so bad. its so inconsistent. and it seems like the most detail has been added to the neighbours sister and your mother. but when it comes to random girls in your jobs, theres none.


the idea and premise of this game is cool. it reminds me of an adult sims, but stripped back of alot of the good quality sim stuff. so more so in how you move about tbh. however, due to the under utilisation of the interactive options, and the lack of sexual options, and how much of a slow paced chore everything is. i have to rate this a 2 star. it just took too much work to do everything over and over so slowly. and then not being able to utilise anything.

i wanted to fuck and lick butts. you can fuck butts, but jesus, only in the massage spa job it seems. and that is the slowest most painful experience to get to.

to rectify this. increase the multiplier of the red bar stat, even put it in the cheats menu to allow the player to alter it as they wish.

utilise the options you have. i wanna be able to lick wherever and whenever i want. why have a free standing lick option, finger option and grab option. if im unable to use it in 99 percent of the scenes im in. either expand it, add content around it. or remove it. its more so a gimmick atm.

i like the idea of this game. but the execution leaves much to be desired. as it lacks anything worth while to make the such slow paced progression and gameplay worth while. add more options to the cheat menu to allow us to speed up progression in jobs. and increase chances of success in jobs.

also add an on the go cheat menu, so i dont have to go home every single time i wanna alter stuff.

rn. try it if you want. its on my watch list, im curious to see where this goes. but atm it needs alot of work and alot of tweaking

I can't understand why the game is rated so low. They must all be children who want everything to be done quickly. Even if it's annoying to massage or search a virtual woman for a very long time, that's just the way it is and the game takes a lot of time to experience this somehow up close. If you're not a patron, you just have to grind for the money. With repetitive tasks: Massage, body search and brothel management.

In between there are nice stories with your mom and your neighbor's daughter, among others.

I only deduct points for the underdeveloped motion capture of real people. The movements of the characters are not (yet) sufficiently realistic. And at times I feel like I'm playing an old Resident Evil game: Fixed camera in the walking simulator. I hope the graphics will get better if enough patrons help.

The game runs great with wine on Linux.

The game has been around since 2021-03. Until 2024-04-10 around 8 updates have been released, so 2-3 per year. So it is meant for casual players. Nobody can tell me that they want to play through a game like this at the weekend; or in a week/month if they don't have a real life. The game is a realistic escape from real life for a short time. But you shouldn't overdo it and sink into it, because without a return to real life it gets monotonous very quickly.

Don't play this game if you're too bored to perform every hand movement by yourself or can't stand the fact that it takes time to sexually arouse or subdue a complete stranger. Because this is the core of the game so far. With a few fun quests on the side.

Pros
+3D i guess
+interactive animations
Cons
-Everything else

This game is a definition of wasting time, no content, grind, and just bad designe on every corner, don t play it unless you like games with like 4 actions that you repeat sloooowly until you get no payof, also graphics might be 3d but as you can see on the screenshots they are not good, all the characters look to be the same age

Yes, this game has a crooked camera, slow animations, etc. But I really liked the idea and the basic massage animations and mechanics. Looking forward to updates. I am sure the author will eliminate the shortcomings and polish the main advantages. For example, the ability to run was added in the latest patch)))

The game is a little slow but I still enjoy it a lot. Once you get going there is quite a bit to do. The waiting a week for the neighbor is a bit much. However I am always checking for the next update and download it as soon as its available. Keep it up!

Story : 6/10
Originality : 7/10
Renders/Art : 6/10
Sound : 6/10
Playability : 4/10
Performance : 4/10
Bugs : lots of bugs, game is very unoptimized and janky
Animations : 6.5/10
Voice Acting : none
Grammar : nothing to say.
Amount of content : game has lots of content but sadly it's very tedious and the jank/bugs don't help.

Would not recommend downloading this for now, save your time and disk space until it's completed and fixed. A shame really since the dev clearly put some effort into making the sex scenes interactive and building up an incest corruption story while trying to deliver gameplay.

Despite all the rough edges, I love this game. I just wish things were a bit faster. I also wish there were more things to do but I know it's still relatively early in development for a project like this. So far so good!

A decent game. Somewhat small in terms of content, but the models and animations are solid. There are some downsides that were mentioned by others:

- a VERY grindy massage minigame (not really necessary for anything though). The game itself is ok in terms of grind, but massage makes you click through multiple boring movement sequences on extremely low speed.
- clumsy world navigation (free movement + interactable objects + semi-fixed camera). It would've been WAY easier to make all characters move along predetermined paths between points of interest.
- almost nonexistent soundtrack. Not really a serious downside but it's a bit weird to see animated sex accompanied by total silence.
- some dialogues are really silly, in a "weird hentai translation" way.
- some sex scenes have... no climax? E.g. when fucking mom or spa client. You're finally pounding them after hours of godawful massage grind, and then they say "well that was nice, see ya". No cum, no climax, nothing.... What? Why?

Mommy-fucking arc is unexpectedly good, way less cheesy than most popular examples (lab rats, summertime saga, insexual awakening etc). The fact that there is an elaborate massage minigame is also very welcome, even though it's grindy. So best of luck to the dev team.

The game is too slow for little reward.

The skill grinding is just way to slow and boring, the massage part could be better if it was not so slow and boring, having to the same thing 15 times in different positions for 30min to just be able to see a boob is just not what a porn game should be.

The game has a lot of potential, maybe rendering better already is a big step! but the massage and interrogation room are very good, and the emily progress is really good already, I understand is a bit grindy but has potential

Man... The ratings weren't wrong, that's for sure. Let's break it down:


Movement: It's absolutely atrocious. I lost count of how many times I clicked on the chair while telling the MC to go to the Kitchen. It should be WASD.

Massage Simulator: This... Is boring. Set speed to 20%, do the only area allowed for that position. Swap to another position. Repeat. Do until you run out of positions. Ask the girl to move. Repeat.

Skill Up: You get skills by reading books and doing the actions. It's... Fine?

Quests: They are place holders.

Sex Scenes: They are okay? Not great, but they do the job.

Final Thought: Maybe in a few more years this game will be good.

This has SERIOUS potential to be one of the GOATs. Great premise and features. Hoping to see the world open up a bit soon and hopefully the movement can be a bit more quick and responsive in future updates.

Blue ball Game, need patreon sub to play.

But the game alone is so boring and tedious.

There is a lot of RNG in the game core
(Supermarket security, massage parlor),
so you can play about hours without sexual content...

If you are looking for a game whitch you play about hours to touch a girl back ; it's your game dude !

About 6 hours of game, you would be able to see (in a key hole of a door), mom's boob ! Yeah !

The controls are interesting, and that's about it. The developer seems to be more interested in making the game as wide as a puddle by throwing in tons of characters with little to no content instead of adding stuff people want (that won a poll).
It's been two years and you still can't really go past fondling with Emily, and each update is just pushing more side characters you won't ever interact with.

If you throw a poll asking people what they want, it's going to be upsetting to everyone if in your next to releases you don't have any meaningful advance towards the winning subject and on top of that invest more time on other things.

Well, I come back to see after almost 6 months on this post (For info I follow the game since its beginning). What is not my surprise, well no surprise. What I could read in the comments the situation has not changed or even worsened. The game is still slowing down, and the developer is doing surveys but not developing what was chosen. After playing a few hours, I see that almost nothing has changed as indicated in the posts. Also save while mother is sleeping on the couch, loading the save instead of sleeping she goes to get ready for the shower. There are still many bugs. For a game that was launched a little before the covid, it must not have all evolved during the confinement (Another developer who wants to make money without doing anything). So just an advice, don't waste your time for this game, you'll be already become dust, before it's finished.
