In Progress Let's play Venus Hostage, a "mature" first-person adventure game of sorts.

This will be my first LP.

I just found this gem and it seemed like a great idea to share this immersive, tantalizing and possibly visceral tale with you.

Supposedly this game contains "mature scenes and nudity" but I will attempt to keep this SFW...


Here goes nothing:


Mature content and C&C.

We find our hero Jack alone in his rundown apartment staring at an old nicotine stained monitor.

In some random chat room we meet a "mysterious lady".

And as it so often goes in these cases she immediately wants to make a rendez-vous.

Jack old fashioned gentleman that he is asks to see some pictures first, wouldn't want to waste precious time meeting some ugly random person, besides the internet is filled to the brim with beautiful, willing ladies who happen to live around the corner.

But she insists and they agree to meet up somewhere (?)...

The camera sweeps across the scene and we finally get to see the player character.

Meet Jack, generic young adult male protagonist.

The camera flies by, rotates and moves to the back of Jack's head, we are literally becoming Jack now, exciting stuff.

In line with the tradition set by the very best games we are required to go through a highly immersive tutorial.

Which is a good thing too because I would never have guessed this elaborate but brilliant control scheme by myself.

Solving this clever physics puzzle opens up a new route.

I was beginning to wonder why I was being forced to take such an odd route but of course in a game of this calibre you just know something awesome is waiting around every corner/ corridor.

What's that I spy below...

That's right the game rewards us for our persistence with an awesome collectible of a scantily dressed yet very tasteful tasty vixen.

Onward we go on our great quest of finding perfect love.

These nearly photorealistic graphics are pushing my top of the line hardware to its limits.

2ir86d0.jpg


Could that be the foreboding alley our mystery date chose as a good spot to meet a perfect stranger?

11gn9me.jpg


Apparently it is but our date is nowhere to be seen, we also learn that Jack talks to himself like most normal people tend to do when they walk down the street.

256vifb.jpg



Will Jack meet his soulmate or will he simply have ungodly casual sex with a stranger again?

Maybe he will we get brutally robbed and left for dead in some disgusting gutter?

Will she (?) simply stand him up, leading kind Jack straight back into the inviting embrace of drugs, alcohol, anxiety and depression?

Will we find more arousing collectibles?

Tune in next time as we seek answers to these intriguing questions and more.

Who's that walking through the bloom? Could it be our mysterious date?

1oopkj.jpg


Yes it's her, we learn her name and can finally be sure "mysterious lady" is actually a lady...or can we?

24xnh1e.jpg


We learn that Jack is a master of coquetry.

2prbm2h.jpg


Prudent Mila invites us over for a nice cup of hot coffee in her friend's apartment.

There is something odd about Mila but I can't quite put my finger on it...

10zv97d.jpg


Anyway we follow her as she walks the desolate streets of City 17.

28ji0y9.jpg


And through up the stairs.

She attempts to unlock the door but fails miserably.

Fortunately our hero is of the male persuasion and we all know males have innate lock picking abilities.

Jack opens the door effortlessly.

The game assumes control when we enter this nightmarishly claustrophobic cosy apartment.

2hn25q8.jpg


The camera seems to have a peculiar interest in certain anatomical features.

Is she about to ask how we like our coffee? Is she the one? Did we just discover the mythical Love Eternal, Amor Aeternus?

Why is she wearing stickers on her pants? Find out next time.

Is the one in the photo wearing two bikinis at the same time? Is this some new fashion statement I'm not familiar with?

I watched a video LP of this game and it seemed pretty good. Although the player was some retard and got stuck every once in a while. Please do continue this.
