Casual Desires is a slice-of-life style VN featuring a bunch of girls and their sexual escapades.
I have high expectations for VNs since they're a dime a dozen on this site. Casual Desires unfortunately falls short. Slice-of-life style stories typically focus on the personalities of the characters to the exclusion of drama or action. Casual Desires lacks the drama, action... and character personality. The MC is an extremely flat character outside of her high libido. She has no struggles or dreams. She gets a couple jobs that she doesn't need, hangs out with friends and generally does exhibitionist stuff.
Now, don't get me wrong, I fucking love exhibitionist stuff. The sexual escapades in the game are quite good. They veer a little towards the absurd given how the majority of the characters the MC teases are completely passive in response. Nevertheless, a lot of the scenarios are pretty hot and worth seeing, particularly anything with Violet. In addition, the renders in the game are pretty damn good as well.
Unfortunately, everything else is boring as heck. The interactions between the characters outside the sexy times are just empty and mindless. They talk about things that don't matter, aren't interesting, and don't develop them as characters. Worse yet, the game just keeps adding new characters, making it even more difficult to develop the existing characters, who are already extremely thin on personality. Everything that isn't the sex in this game (and there's a lot of it) is flat.
As for the gameplay, there is none. The choices in the game are opt in/out of different sex scenarios. To my knowledge, engaging in different scenes does not make the MC more slutty or accepting of further actions. As a result, this is really just a kinetic novel in which you can opt out of scenes.
Overall, I wish I liked this game more than I do. If the characters had more personality to them or followed a story worth telling, it could jump straight from three stars to five.
