Before I start this thread, please let me first say that, if this topic is off-limits, please close it - and please accept my apologies.
That said - as an adult who is a fan of gaming, I have found various adult-themed games online over the years, and they have mostly been scams, or very poorly made games by our typical gaming standards. I can't even think of a single one of these games that was as good as say the Hot Coffee mod on GTA: SA from 2004.
Over the past year or though, I have found a few really well-made adult-themed games that have been developed using the Ren'Py platform, which is free and has been available for years (since 2006 I believe) to make story-based games that emphasize player choices, branching story lines and animations. Because they are made on the Ren'Py platform, small developers (most of these seem to be independent individual designers) can put out really well-made games that are in the "choose-your-adventure"/visual novel genre.
I've got to say that the storylines, character development and even the quality of the renders in some cases are quite good.
There is a game "Acting Lessons" in which you are a 30-something year old guy with a best friend named Liam. You fall for a woman who is in her mid-20s, and there is this intricate story with several choices and different branches. Now, to be fair, it is an adult game, so several of these choices lead to explicit adult scenes, etc. But - the story and the characters have some depth and the animations are really immersive (even the regular story animations, etc.). And, your best friend Liam in this game actually feels like a real person and he responds to your choices, etc. The game is on episode 4 of 8 right now, and the designer seems really committed to making a good game.
There is another one called "Twists of My Life" - which is a twenty-something year old "student of a law school" (LOL) trying to establish himself at a new school. It is far-fetched and over the top explicit at times, but again, great characters and an interesting story. There was another demo of a game "Jessica O'Neill's Hard News" about a 25 year old female news reporter who is trying to make it in the newspaper industry, which really makes you feel like the woman is trying to start out her career as a journalist.
Now, to be honest, it is clear that these games are hardcore and cater to adults. But - I had never seen games like this before - adult-themes and images, with many great features of "legitimate" games. It in many ways reminds me of when I first started watching Sopranos on HBO - some very intense adult themes and explicit portrayals in certain scenes, but interesting characters and storylines that hold your attention.
Anyone else, or am I "that" guy?

And it becomes pretty monotonous after some time and takes ages to finish. But other than that it's really good take on the genre.
