tl;dr; version:
This is pornography. Make no mistake about that. Unlike the previous game, this one is almost purely hetero-sexual.
And I have to say, I really loved this. Your mileage may vary greatly however, but I don't think I can get into those reasons in a short version.

Long version:
Negligee: Love Stories is a sequel to Negligee, though it happens before the previous game. Uh, does that make it a prequel? Well, whatever. It doesn't seem like I made a review for Negligee, so in short; it was a great game, but it had one glaring flaw. You could end up masturbating in your office which means that you'd miss out on one of the three girls for the rest of the game. That in itself wouldn't be so bad, but this route was clearly not polished properly. The discussions were often just slightly off since one person's dialog wasn't there, and a few key scenes for the plot didn't happen AT ALL. So there was a bad feeling of disconnect if you went that way first, and you probably did since... well... that's the first H scene. Punishing players by having an incomplete route just because they wanted to see the thing they (most likely) most wanted - porn - was NOT a good design. Otherwise, again, it was pretty great all around.

Negligee: Love Stories doesn't fall into the same trap, though possibly because it has been simplified. The game is split into four entirely separate stories, one for each girl. Each story is fairly short, but with four of them, there's still a decent amount of content. Not as much as Negligee I'd think, but getting close-ish. Anyway. There are 3+3+2+2 endings, some of which are NOT nice. At all. Those took me off guard quite badly. If you don't like that, this game might not be for you. Oh, and for the stories with 3 endings, the way to reach one of them tends to be reaaaally specific and non-intuitive, so be prepared to look up a guide for those. After you find the canon ending, the epilogue opens up for that character. These happen AFTER Negligee happens, so Negliee: Love Stories is a... a sequel? Prequel+sequel? Pre-sequel? Well, whatever. Anyway, these are EXTREMELY short and just... cut off. Literally just suddenly end and throw you to the title screen. Umm, would a THE END and/or a fade to black been too much to ask? At least they give a fair amount of closure of what happened after Negligee, I guess.

As for the stories themselves, well, they handle some relatively heavy stuff for a porn game. For example, Jasmin is a stripper. Her story deals with the feelings of shame and guilt, the excuses she makes to keep doing it and her sexuality (as she doesn't really enjoy shaking it for the guys). All the routes tackle something similar; human drama and emotions. Sticking to Jasmin, I find it really refreshing that the storyline isn't just the usual porn storyline of "she's a slut and she loves it" -thing. But if you don't like the idea of a pornographic game handling actual human emotions, well, this game might not be for you. But are the stories REALISTIC realistic? Uuh, I don't know. I don't know any strippers from whom to ask those questions. But all the stories felt authentic to me and none of them overstayed their welcome. So, I can really only give it 9/10 for the plot. Your mileage may vary wildly. Oh, and the only reason why it's not 10/10 is because I opened up Negligee afterwards and refreshed myself of the start of the game; it didn't connect with Love Stories by 100%. It's pretty close, but there are some slight inconsistencies. Yes, I am probably the only person in the whole world who cares and I am proud of it, thank you very much.

Execution wise, the game REALLY could've used some sort of "thought-indicator." There is constantly text where the current heroine of the story has her name-tag showing up, despite not actually talking. The only way you know if they said something out loud or if they were thinking is by seeing if the other party reacts to it or not. Why not just use ( ) to indicate thoughts or something? Meh. Anyway, other than that, no real complaints. Well, there was two typos I noticed, both cases of "your" which should've been "you're." In consecutive lines. Tsk tsk.

As for the porn, the biggest thing that strikes me is that it's pretty much purely hetero-sexual now. Considering how Negligee was purely girl-on-girl action, this is a rather odd choice. I don't mind, but I'd imagine that many previous fans are going to mind quite a lot. And mind you, this is a cast of mainly lesbians. There's going to be emotional baggage that comes after the deed with males. I already mentioned the heavy stuff before, but just as a reminder. Anyway... an annoying flaw is that there's no obvious way to HIDE THE UI. The usual suspects - spacebar, right-mouse button or a UI element (like "X" in a corner or a "Hide" button) - are not there! There's probably a button for it, but damned if knew where! That should be more obvious! I want to have a proper look at the tiddies without going to the main menu and CG section, damn you!

The drawings themselves are drop-dead gorgeous - but of course your preferences may differ. I had to double-check was it the same person working on the art in both Negligee games, and yes, both games credit Kopi Anget. Damn, son. That much progress in just two years? Nice. I tip my hat to you, good sir. As such, I guess my biggest complaint would be the inconsistent amount of CGs used per scene. For example, Jasmin's blowjob scene has a whopping 20 variations to it. Meanwhile, Charlotte's lesbian scene has 5 variations to it - and there certainly was a lack of CG updating on that one! I wonder what happened, was there poor art direction? Or did they not really know the scale of the budget and this Jasmin scene was the first one produced? I don't think we'll ever know, but I hope the devs learned their lessons. Oh, and Hannah has a new sprite which is... just... off. Well, it's not her game (that's Negligee!) so you hardly even see her, thus maybe it was just a matter of not getting used to it.

Music was okay. The only one I really liked was the stripclub beats, but I never disliked any of the background tracks.

And lastly, I guess I should mention that since this game basically pioneered the whole "one-click porn" thing on Steam, not quite everything went as planned. Apparently in the future Dharker Studio will be releasing games as all-ages with free adult-only DLC. This way, all countries will be able to buy the game itself, and those countries where pornography is allowed (read: not Germany(*)) will have their porn on Steam with two clicks instead. Lessons learned, other game devs will most likely follow that route. So the "one-click porn" thing lasted only for two days, long live the "two-click porn" thing! It is a lot better than the old "click, find the developer website, download patch, check how to patch, do the patch" thing.
(*) Actually, the full list is closer to Australia (because of reasons mate), Russia (probably because of homo-sexual content?), Japan (pixels too small), South Korea (not enough Pylons) and China (because pornography is bad for you, get back to work peasant). And a big bunch of strongly Islamic countries which don't approve of human sexuality outside of procreation. And maybe a few countries that I missed. Germany is a bit of a special case here because porn is allowed, but Steam's age verification system doesn't meet the German standards. So technically, Germans could get it eventually. But Valve probably won't bother so... don't get your hopes up.

Sooooo... yeah. All in all, in case it wasn't clear already, I really loved the game. As soon as the DLC bonus tidbits come off the first-week sale, I will certainly be buying them for full price. Take all my money, and thank you for the game.

Like that most of Dharker Studio games take place in the same town.
Alot more content then normal
four stories following the characters Karen, Charlotte, Sophie and Jasmin in their early lives.
Pretty good stories. For sure added to the story way more then some of the other games.
CG quality is alot higher then the older and some of the new games.

I thought all of the visual novels from Dharker Studio were adult lesbian visual novels, and I bought a bundle with all of the Negligee games not realizing that this had hardcore scenes with men in them which I am not really interested in. I liked some of the content with the girl working as a stripper. I wouldn't have bought this game normally, but I bought the bundle on sale and the bundle was worth buying.

First pornographic game on steam! Congrats on the game. The storyline is great!

Alright, I'm not a fan of Visual Novels but because this one is so "unique" in terms of steam's ongoing policy, until recently that is, I decided to give it a shot to see if it was "all the rage."

Let me say this first. If you wanted an 18+ story, congratulations. If you wanted an experience, that's subjective. Personally, what I want out of a game like this is choice. You're given many dialogue options, but to the extent of which I played none of the options mattered. Almost every dialogue option in the first story are both the same, with the same outcome. If you want a Telltale game Hentai, this is for you. Meanwhile I'll be looking for games where choices matter.

So the positives:

1. Uncensored. Probably the biggest reason to get it and support future titles of this genre.
2. Artwork. It's japanese style hentai. Nothing wrong here.
3. It's a porn game. It doesn't pretend to be something else.

The negatives:
1. Gameplay. There practically isn't any. You're mostly given a choice of accepting some sort of sexual proposal or not accepting the proposal. I finished everything in an hour (including the epilogue). Speed button is not available until after you read through the story the first time. This means a lot of clicking through long dialogues. There are 4 stories to play through, 2 or 3 endings each, and an epilogue.
2. Story. The stories are heavily into rape, domestic violence (Karen's story), and a lot of moments where you behave like a whore. You're basically playing as one of four women in the game allowing (or not allowing) a man (or woman) to fuck you. That's basically it.
3. Music. Generic happy music.
4. CG gallery. While the uncensored images can be beautiful to view, there isn't much packed into the game.

I was prepared to like this game, but after playing House Party (which I recommend trying out), this is sorely disappointing. Even at 13.99, this is not worth the money.

Wtf is this shit? I came for porn not fucking rape fantasy. Get this shit off steam.

Hentai is an even worse form of porn because it is even more unreal, even further removed from reality, even more capable of displaying utterly ♥♥♥♥ed up and extreme stuff that cannot exist in reality. You know the stuff Im talking about and I dont care if you say you only watch the 'good' kind of hentai. It is poison in the worst form. It is attractive, that is the problem. Down that road lies lonliness and dissatisfaction. You need to let that poison go and find incomparable joys in real life. Luckily they are common. Go feel the sun on your face. Run and feel your body move. You can do it.

dialogue are boring and long.
Scenes are very static and rarely change. Mostly depend on narratives to describe the moment.

Okay. This is a prequel/sequel to Negligee. The main stories are the prequels, with the epilogues taking place two years after Negligee... oh, and the epilogues of the three love interests seem to imply you chose someone other than that particular one. Now, one of the stories is about Karen, who... was the boss who suddenly quit and left Hannah to run the store in the original Negligee. And well... one of the endings of her story tells you how that happened.

And do note, there are themes in here other than you willingly have sex with this guy (or girl). Some of the routes involve instances where the act has... consent issues. Easiest way to say it, because I can only remember one or two instances where it goes from very weak consent to none at all. At least one of those the girl whacks the offending dude with a lamp, so that scene at least felt somewhat cathartic...

While you don't need to read the original Negligee, I would suggest doing so. Frankly, it is much more satisfying than two of the good endings, and slighty more satisfying than a third (at least if you play Jasmin's route where you don't give into the temptation for money... well money for certain acts). Charlotte's good ending actually feels a bit more satisfying, as it is a true love story... even if it ends slilghtly abruptly but don't worry the epilogue works out well.

Would recommend, but get it on discount and perhaps in a bundle.

your basic VN dating sim game from what i can tell. Very similar to many japanese VN games I have played however, there is no voice acting and as another person mentioned, the scenes are fairly static and tame (so far). after half an hour, i can confirm it is uncensored and I am surprised to see something like this on steam but not condeming it at all. I really just pruchased to see if it truely was uncensored as was claimed and sure enough, as another comment stated, maybe steam finally has grown up.

MUSE AXE

This game has one of the best graphics i've seen in adult games, and it being uncencored is
the best of all!
The story is intriguing and you'll get four of them which is a very good approach imo.
Thing is some games have one story and it takes a long time and it feels like a click
through game but Love Stories is so much more fun!

There is only one thing that bothers me...and that's the UI which is not adjustable.
The textbox is large and covers all interesting parts of the screen, there is no option in the
menu that can make it more transparent of even better, Just see the text without textbox
like in a real movie, you don't see a textbox either.

Aside from this ''minor.....'' thing i recommend the game absolutely, you could go back to
the gallery and check out the unlocked scenes after the story.
But expieriencing both at the same time would be bliss ;)

Being one of the first uncensored games to be released on steam, I will gladly support this. Steam has a bright future ahead of it!

Not as good as the first game IMO, still decent, sprites and CGs still well drawn with the exception of a couple of the male faces. Sadly the lewd scenes of each scenario seem sparce in that there isn't much variation in composition, this is particularly true of Charlotte's story.
Each characters scenario does an OK job of having a new and interesting narrative for them, though they all seem a little depressing, which can be off putting for some.

Speaking of off putting for some, The game does feature "NonCon" scenes, which, frankly isn't my thing but I can ignore it, others may find these scenes more distressing. If you're one of these people, no one plays an H game to end up sad, I'd give it a miss if I were you. For the other degenerates out there I give it a loose recommendation with the advise to maybe wait for a sale.

It seems to be a prequel to the one Negligee not a squel for the story of Chalotte, Mikka, and Eddie anyways. Have not read the others yet so they might fall somewhere else in the timeline.
For that one tory the yuri scene um well i do not see wh it is under "Mature content" as i do not think seeing a naked girls breast is anything that should be censored. The part of Chalotte and Mikkia making lesbain love maybe is under Mauter content. The yuri scene also felt like a lesbain wrote it so they had a good writer for the sex scene.
The art quailty did not go up nor down between visual novels.
The story got longer but also better. It is not to long before it stopped. Neither the story nor the epilong are to long but if they put them in the same thing it mght have been to long.
The reason why my play time is so short is it really is not that long of a story per story to which you get 4 stories with 4 epilongs 1 per story. I only read one story unlocked its epilong then read it. In all to read them all i guess it is around a 8 hour collection of stories.

IF you are looking for hardcore yuri this is not that.

Before I delve into this too much I want to say that I -only- recommend this game to those of you who have played the previous game before.

Positives:
1.) One of Steam's first uncut games that doesn't need a third party patch! (so glad to be alive in these times)
2.) If you liked the first game then getting the back story on the characters from the first game (minus Hannah and Emily) is quite enjoyable (especially Karen's backstory)
3.) Charlotte ending back up with Mikka in the epilogue was a wonderful way to end it
4.) UNCUT VN ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Negatives:
1.) If you haven't played the first, do not buy this game. As a standalone this game doesn't feel complete enough to really justify the price (maybe if it was 50% off)
2.) (In my opinion) I really do not like how they drew hannah this time around. Why doesn't she look as she did in the first one? Why would they change her character model so much? I understand the time difference, so it made sense during the main story to have her look younger, like she does in this, but during the epilogue look just like the main story? No, I cannot accept that.
3.) The stories do not intertwine at all. There is a slight bit there in the epilogues, but it is so vague that it just feels incomplete. I was really hoping that there was more story connecting this game with the first, but there really isn't.
4.) Lack of artwork... When Chris gets beat up by Johnathan and mentions him wiping blood off his face and getting really beat up. Why don't they make artwork of his character being all bruised and battered and leave it in just text format? It really took away from the experience to get that ending where Chris and Karen run away together and he looks perfectly fine after being beaten near death.

Overall:
I would have to say this game is average and if there was a middle-ground way of doing a review, I would post it as informational. But in my honest opinion I cannot recommend this game because it just feels like there is not enough heart in it. I appreciate Dharker for making a prequel/sequel, but compaired to the first the story and art seem a little lacking. In the first game there were scenes that had motions (basically short video clips on loop) and I liked that aspect (though I was sad when the quality of it was worse than the quality of the still images, but it was still neat!), I just wish they brought that back for each story line, but it didn't happen.

PS: Love your games Dharker Studios, but I really hope you bring back the video loop element in My Senpai (which I did the Beta access tier in hopes the 3rd is better)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dharkerfigurine/mysenpai?ref=nav_s…
link for anyone who is curious, has 7 days to go as of this post.
I hope the 3rd installment is better, especially considering how well past the goal it is.

Hope this review helps!

I thought there were going to be choices and then I realized it was a prequel to another game.
If you REALLY want it though buy it on super sale.
It's also super rapey

Negligee: Love Stories is a simple game pioneering for what I hope to be a new era of gaming, that said when this game says uncensored it just isn't talking about nudity, this game can excalate from a 0 to an 11 in some stories while and covers some dark topics outside of sex. Overall this is a solid adult-themed visiual novel game that is worth the price tag.

So i've seen a few negative reviews and allow me to give my 2 cents.

if you played the first game for the yuri then yeah, most of this probably wont be your cup of tea, theres alot of penises in this one.

on the other hand. if you dont mind that, theres 4 stories to read through and im pretty sure most people will find at least 1 that they like, it just depends on what you're into.

as for the people saying you should buy this unless you have the first game im going to have to call bullshit. having never played the first game i must say im thoroughly enjoying my time with this one regardless of that.

i think its wrong to download a game knowing it isnt a yuri game and then complaining that theres too much dick in it, you're giving i a bad review because its not catering to you, not because the game is bad.

If you have not played the first game the chances of you enjoying this are slim because all of the main characters are reused from the last game and no context is given. However, it is a prequel so it doesn't necessarily need to be explained, but you don't need to have played the first game, you'll just get more enjoyment if you have. This game is all about the somewhat... interesting pasts of the three girls that go to work at Negligee in the first game, Sophie, Jasmine, and Charlotte, and the original manager Karen. Since there are four different characters each one has a seperate story focusing on them. So I will section this review into a few parts, a story review, an art review, replayability, and then finally give some thoughts as to wether or not you should buy this.

- The Story -
The first story you are going to play is Karen's. She's in an unfaithful marriage to a man who married her because her dad was his boss at the company he worked at. The marriage is very unhappy and because of this Karen falls to some tempations. This story has three endings, giving it more replay value than the last two. However, one of the endings is hilariously fast and forced with no hints as to why it happened. I legitimately found myself (like a terrible person) laughing at the absurdity of it. Crime is a serious topic and to see it adressed in such a light especailly in a game like this where it was not advertised, and you would not think it happens from the first game is surprising.
The second story of the game focuses on Jasmine, one of the three main girls from the original game. As she said in the first game she's working a job at a strip club. However her boss tells her to think about her future and then she does. This leads to two different encounters you will have which you can choose to be sexual with or almost completely ignore. This is the second and last story with three endings. The good ending is definitely heart warming since you could see in the first game that Jasmine was a good person. Of course, for anyone who wants it the other two endings are a bit more... not so heart warming. However if you want to see Jasmin pretty much become a prostitute go ahead, you can do that.
The third story is about Charlotte, and how she needs to come to terms about how she's lesbian. To be honest this was definitely the shortest and weakest part of the game. Most of the cgs were reused and only slightly changed and was light to compared to the other sections. The story only has two endings making it feel a bit bland and you only get three choices throughout the path. The value of this story will completely go over your head unless you played the first game, or like to see a yuri lesbian become a true lesbian.
The fourth story is about Sophie, and well if you played the first game you'd guess this was the wildest one, and you'd be right. Well, the least I can say is this is the polarizing story. If you like your R18 content non vanilla and non consenmsual you will probably enjoy this. However, if you don''t you will probably abhor what you see and be turned off. from this game. This story also only has two endings, and neither of them feel as if they really matter because they basically just both end the same way.

- The Art -
The art in this game I would say personally is an improvement over the first game. I see more detail in hair and face and since it's uncensored from the get go you could defintely tell Dharker Studio is still trying to figure out how to draw d***s. Since they mostly do Yuri it's annoying that they would even try this because it depreciates the value of the game in my opinion. But other than that an improvement over the first game. It take a highly anime reminiscent art style and I would personally give it an 8/10.

- The Replayability -
If you've played any virtual novel before you know the drill. Make your choices and see if they actually affect the outcome of the story. The only stories that actually have big changes in their endings that make you feel like your choices mattered are the first two. However, while Sophie's story does end in the same way either way Charlotte's doesn't. Overall I would say this is slightly better than most visual novels on Steam in terms of choices. Definitely better than the Sakura games.

- The Finale -
Thank you for reading through this multi paragraph review of an anime p0rn game on Steam, congrats you can now consider yourself an intellectual. Overall, I would have to say this game is pretty good, wait for a sale however if you can't get behind the art in the trailers. But, I would personally give it a 8 out of 10. It's not the best thing in the world but it's definitely an improvement over what we've seen on Steam so far and it's the first game to be released that is completely uncensored. (Minus Melty's Quest but that was a patch) So if you have an interest in being a sad sad little man and fancy the idea of watching anime chicks get banged (not always in consensual situations), this is probably the game for you. However, if you expect all yuri like the first game you will probably be dissapointed. If you're a die hard fan, Charlotte's story is probably the only one you will want to play, however she does originally start off with a boyfriend so there's always going to be unskippable MaleXFemale action. Time you will spend playing if you do everything: About 2 and a half to 4 hours.
(Ps this is too long for me to proofread so I apologize for any mispellings but yeah I'm lazy but it should still be somewhat understandable and comprehendable.) (PPS. it will only say I have five minutes on the game because I played it offline, however I have all the achievements because I did actually play the game.)

i will be honest.. i dont think i will play this game.. im not so big fan of visual novels or anything.. but i'm fan morality and if you think is ok buy a game where you kill in a realistic manner but somehow this is bad.. i only can support the devolopers.. more when countries like germany that think censor is the solution.. anything that is nazi related censored.. like if that could solve the problems that people have in their minds.... If we want change the world we need to change two things..1st violence is ok but somehow sex is adult content and must be banned. 2. Censor all that we don´t like, thinking that if we censor it we solve the problem.

A game that tries to be a controversial visual novel, but fails at being both.
Game of course is uncensored, which is most likely, why you have even heard about it in the first place.
But surprisingly this game fails at being uncensored too.
Unthinkable? Let me explain myself:
But from the begining - You know what makes a good visual novel?
Of course it is story.
You know what this game does not contain?
Doesn't have a good enough story you think?
That's an understatement. This game doesn't have any story whatsoever.
Go, watch a random porn video from your favorite pornsite. It's probably going to have better storyline and more interesting ideas than storyline in this damned "game". Because just like in porn videos, storyline in this game is just an excuse to show you boobs or maybe something more intriguing. Nothing interesting to read here. Characters are constantly having monologues about irrelevant stuff you do not care about, and you never will because each story lasts for 30-50 minutes. Trust me, you're going to skip half of this so called "story" if you wish to play this game.

"B-but you have decisions to make in this game!"
Nonsense, choices in this game appear in random moments and it's mostly something like:
- Guy: "Hello Hello, I wanna f*ck"
an your choices are:
- 1: "I'm not sure....."
- 2: "Aight, let's f*ck"
or
- Guy: "Hello Hello, we f*ck now?"
and your choices are:
- 1: "Nah, let's f*ck later"
- 2: "Boi, pull out the big D, damnit"
And now imagine yourself something:
These decisions will have an impact on your ending.
Yes, there are different endings for each story (2 for each)
The fact that you don't wanna f*ck at this very moment is very important, you understand?
Geez, this is disgraceful.
But yes, there are twists!
But don't even bother, these are cliche to the limits. One of which was so sudden and out of place, that is was just like: "uhhh, what the hell?"

So now for why I said that the game fails at being uncensored:
And the reason is simple. Arts aren't that good.
They are not interesting at all.
To put it straight:
Not a single boner throughout the entire game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just few closeups at bare d*ck in a bare v*gina and that's usually it.
Just boring.
I don't know if develepers ever had sex before.
Besides, in album you can see all the images from stories you have read.
Oh nunu, except for those that actually show people having sex. That's just... Odd.

Is there actually anything good about this game?
No

In conclusion:
Just go and play "Nekopara" series. These are funny, well written, beautifully animated and have porn that you're looking for.
Negligee has neither of these but low quality porn, while maintaining similar price point.

Not worth the money. You can literally unlock everything for this game within 12 minutes of playtime. Don't buy unless you just want the story which isn't even that good. If you are going to buy it anyway regardless of this review I would recommend refunding after you've done everything.

Steam has taken a step in the right direction, and in my short time playing this game I know that for a fact. I was mostly testing the waters here, and the rumours are true.

Not enough story for me.

The mature content was kinda nice for a little then it just gets to much kinda like your average hentai.

0 animations, 0 voice acting, game.jpg without any reasonable storyline

This game would make more sense as a DLC expansion pack for the original game because each story lines are short.
( atleast 10 minutes to complete each one ). But hey, uncensored anime tiddy is always a win.

The promotion is misleading. The game content is poor and the storyline is boring. There are free html/javascript games a lot better than thus out there. I am sorry that I actually paid for this game.

I think a lot of negativity about this game came from misconceptions about what it is and people approaching it without having played the original Negligee. First, this is a nukige, so you should expect the porn to come before the story and honestly, things are more balanced here and the scenarios more elaborate than in most VNs of this kind. Second, it's a prequel, supplementing the original story and expanding on the characters featured there - while Negligee is not a particularly deep game, it gives you enough context to make reading the backstories featured here more interesting.

There are obviously some issues here, like the choices often being meaningless apart from contributing to what ending you're gonna get, or some scenarios (especially in Sophie's episode) being over-the-top/plain stupid. In general, I find the writing here decent, a bit above that of the original game - there's a bit more effort to tell actual stories here and give characters a bit of depth. It's also, just as the first Negligee, quite impressive when it goes to visuals - there are relatively few Western erotic VNs that look this good and it definitely matters in this kind of game.

In the end, I would recommend this mostly to people that played and enjoyed the first game - both titles supplement each other quite well and create an enjoyable experience together. As a standalone title, it's probably not worth it, unless you're just looking for quality hentai scenes. Also, both Negligee games are a bit pricey for the amount of content they offer - it's probably a better idea to grab them on sale.

Okay, Negligee Love Stories is actually one of my favorites from Dharker studios. I would reccomend people play the first Negligee in order to get the prequel (or if you've played the Prequel first, you should play the original next). There is one thing that I am quite disappointed by and that's the lack of an Emily route. Though I hope in a future there will be something focusing on Emily, and here exploits. Otherwise, I will 100% recommend this game.

Purchased this game because I stand for 100% freedom in developers publishing all manner of games, and for gamers to buy any game they want. I applaud Steam for standing up for Free Speech and not caving to the Social Justice Warriors. Anyone that would deny publication of a game, book, song, etc., based on content is a scumbag. Such people would have been great friends of Soviet Russia.

Anyway, on to the game itself: It is ok. Dialogue is interesting and there are some decent themes to be explored. The game is short though...and the sex scenes could be a bit more interactive. Looking forward to more games from the developer.

I'm 50% through the game. At this pace, I think most people will be able to "beat" it in under 5 hours.

I played less than 12 minutes and came 19 times without touching my peepee.
I came in such a burst of pleasure that my best friend came as well and he is living about 40 kilometers far away
as well as my gf but she came from a distance of 730km
you may ask why
i cant tell.
but what i can tell is the fact it cured my cancer,aids,hunger,afrikan genes and almost (sadly) my will to die
oh and of course
my♥♥♥♥♥♥expanded 20 times, i grew 3 more of them, women manifest out of matter which resolve in the air and i made communism viable as well.

i put it on my wishlist i wanna have it a second time one time is not enough.
would recommend.

Pros
Gorgeous (uncensored) art
Good well written story
Lovely characters

Recommended solely for the pros

Cons
Too many Patreon advertisements once is more than enough!

This has now driven me away from buying from this dev unless too good a deal to pass up. I do not agree with multiple advertisement in a game. We are supporting in our own way but to see PATREON 3X no thank you!

As the developers yes they have the right to do this but please tell me, I'm not the only one who finds this very unpleasant?

Awful game!
Pro - they are allowing these types of games
But ZERO animation, wish someone would of said that in the review.
All still pics, no motion.
Stories are awful.. disappointing purchase.

99% of this game is just reading boring text blurbs about mundane situations gradually anticipating sex fantasies. You get the occasional sexy still image but it's not interesting in the slightest. If you're into reading about porn fantasies, go get a harla quin novel. Serves the exact same purpose, though harla quin is probably more interesting. For everyone else, conventional porn is much better.

Don't buy it! I finished the "game". It's not even a real game, it's a comic.
You get very rare and very few choices. Your choice doesn't matter at all.
It will always be the same story, no matter what you choose.
It's more like 14+, it's boring, has very few images Not worth your time nor your money.

Impressive prequel of Negligee, works amazing if you want to know more of the characters story. The art is amazing as always, the stories are all interesting (and even a bit dark most of them)
Loved the main game, loved the prequel, can't wait for the sequel.

This looks more like a proof of concept, a demo or a tutorial, then a game. It is Extremely short (seen all possible in under 3hs)
Not worth the $, even to support the develper, at the state it is now. If this is a finished product, I will not consider buying another from this studio.

Negligee and Love Stories are about as perfect as Dharker Studios gets, and that is not intended in a negative way. I'm fairly shocked, admittedly. Their library consists of aesthetically pleasing novels, usually at the cost of any compelling narrative, stand out characters, and adequate translations. However, the Negligee titles went against the standard that had been built for me. The visual style was nailed once again, an understandable and surprisingly important plot was present, characterization support and character exploration shined through extensively. I have to give credit, for yet another novel that I had acquired through the summer sale has subverted my expectations. What can I say? It practically screamed "masturbatory material". Once more, I am proven thoroughly mistaken. I highly suggest/advise playing the adult versions of the game. Steam released an all-ages equivalent and that saw significantly poor reception. I mean, cause why not actually learn something about the women and their lives, whilst sexually admiring them simultaneously? It felt relieving to finally finish this game. I've been increasingly preoccupied, as of recent, but hope to get around to completing more novels and subsequently releasing their reviews.

You get about 6 choices during each story to affect the outcome. The scenes are picture, not moving, but do a pretty good job of displaying what is happening in the dialogue. There is enough dialogue to get into character. After playing it for three hours, I would recommend this game. I am looking forward to trying out some of the variations.

Expected to have good story and chance to choose partners. All I got was het in first few minutes. If you are looking for lesbian content avoid. Also writing sucks even for porn games.

One of Dharkar's best. The sex scenes are very graphic, the women attractive and the writing isn't too sappy. Easily a A+.

The shop appears in a number of Dharkar's adult works, all of which are entertaining, but this one is really one of the the best.

Downloaded this for the lols, then had a realisation how weird it is that I am 'playing' something like this even for the lols. It's not bad, but it for sure ain't for me. If you are a horned up anime weeabo then this for you, if not, gonna wanna give it a pass

So this is the second game of this series, guys, it's straight up porn, but I think the first game is a bit more entertaining if you're really looking for that.

It's okay, Not as good as the original Negligee, but not bad either.

The fact that there's far less yuri is a bummer and there are a decent amount of narrative inconsistencies between this (which serves as a prequel) and the original, but overall, I'd still say it's worth it if you enjoyed Negligee.

Really middle of the road but I have to say I didn't like it in the end. It's not yuri like the main game which is weird since the audience of the first came mostly came since it was a good yuri game. Some of the routes had some good story and good endings, especially Sophies story is a bit weird. Not to mention there were some character inconsistency that made this a no for me.

I really enjoyed the first game, so I thought I would give this a shot. However, I really couldn't get into it, especially when it seemed that a lot of the stories had rapey vibes. It's not my thing, but definitely don't recommend getting this if you think it's going to be like the first game.
