Generally, it seems to fall into a few categories:
- Narration and/or images, maybe with a few binary choices
- Animated scenes with some form of interactivity, like setting tempo
- A set of actions you can choose to perform, which fill a lust meter or similar (sometimes you also spend stamina points, and it can be based on your game stats)
Which do you prefer? Does it depend on the game genre? Are there any presentation styles that don’t fit into the above?
I can think of a few favorites lewd games that do #1 or #3, but #2 kinda blurs together with #3 anyway for me.
What’s more of a distinguishing factor is how integrated it is in the main gameplay or story. Games like SUBVERSE were really a disappointment to me since the majority of the sex scenes were in exchange for “friendship points” that you earned from grinding battles.
I usually prefer games with frequently weave sex into it, like having sex frequently to seduce guards or even incorporating it into combat itself as a part of the challenge.
