Wicked Choices is a legend among western indie adult games. It is one of the pioneering adult games that saw its first release back in 2017! It is, in many senses, a ground-breaking game and has set a high standard for the genre with its immersive storytelling, stunning Daz 3D visuals, and captivating gameplay. With many million downloads, it is also one of the most played adult games ever created, making it a testament to its popularity and success.
Wicked Choices: The History
ASLPro3D, the studio behind the Wicked Choices franchise, is a veteran group of developers who have been working on adult-themed 3D entertainment since the 1990s! ASLPro3D has a long history of involvement in the 3D rendering world, with projects that have made significant contributions to the industry. For instance, they were instrumental in the creation and operation of websites like Renderosity.com and Renderotica.com, which have since become prominent platforms for 3D artists to showcase their work. These websites have not only provided a space for artists to share their creations, but they have also fostered a community of 3D enthusiasts and facilitated the exchange of ideas and techniques. ASLPro3D’s involvement in these websites has helped shape the 3D rendering world and establish a strong foundation for future developments.
As mentioned before, the first release of Wicked Choices: Book One was done back in 2017, and the game itself is marked as one of the first few to truly take the 3D rendering tool Daz3D and put it front and center in the adult gaming industry. The game has since gone through a remaster that was completed in 2019. The remastering was a significant milestone for the game. The remaster involved improvements in various aspects of the game, including graphics, gameplay mechanics, and the user interface.
The latest version of Wicked Choices aka Spicygaming version has been released just in time for GOM. It includes several improvements to the remaster version!
The team then started work on a new game called Wicked Choices: Agents of Karma (currently on hold until the completion of the newest game) that developed the story further.
SLpro3D is currently working on two games right now. Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers and Wicked Choices: Book Two.
Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers and Wicked Choices: Book Two are highly anticipated sequels that continue the captivating world and story of Wicked Choices. In Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers, players will delve deeper into the intimate and sensual aspects of the game, exploring new relationships and encounters with characters from the Wicked Choices universe. The game will feature more “realistic” and immersive scenes, with attention to detail in character animations and interactions. On the other hand, Wicked Choices: Book Two will pick up where the first game left off, continuing the epic narrative. With their intriguing storyline, engaging characters, and innovative gameplay mechanics, both Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers and Wicked Choices: Book Two promise to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience for fans of the franchise.
Wicked Choices: The Story
Wicked Choices has a very complex story that spans several games!
In Wicked Choices Book one, players take on the roles of Michael Preston, the destined ‘Antichrist’, and Princess Lynara, a young angel. Throughout the game, players have the opportunity to explore the characters’ development and motivations. As Michael, players will face the internal struggle of accepting his dark destiny while also potentially questioning his role in bringing chaos to mankind. On the other hand, as Lynara, players will navigate the challenges of her own kind, seeking to stop Michael while also grappling with her own destiny and the truth she holds.
The story begins with the protagonist’s ordinary life, but as the plot progresses, they become entangled in a complex web of divine beings and supernatural forces. This transformation from a mundane existence to a larger-than-life adventure demonstrates the theme of “from small to epic.” This concept also adds depth and complexity to the story, as it creates opportunities for unexpected plot twists. For example, a seemingly benevolent angel may be revealed to have a sinister agenda. This concept of duality and hidden darkness adds intrigue and suspense to the narrative.
One of the key features of Wicked Choices is the significant impact that player choices have on the outcome of the game. The decisions made by both Michael and Lynara can lead to different story paths, character interactions, and ultimately, different outcomes (that will affect the story in the sequel).
As the stories of the MC and Lynara happen in parallel, thanks to a sort of erotic link shared between these characters, the writer smartly links the timelines together. For example, Michael’s sexual activity is transferred to Lynara via a sensation. This will let the player know when these events are happening in each timeline. Talking about clever writing!
On that note, it is worth mentioning that all the events that will take place in “Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers,” “Wicked Choices: Agents of Karma,” and “Wicked Choices: Book Two” will be happening at the same time, just from different perspectives of the main characters that you will be playing in those games and the choices that you will be making as those characters.
A side note: Bed Chambers has some real-life elements from the developer’s personal life, which makes the game a very personal and emotional experience. It is certainly not your typical adult game.
For instance, in Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers, we follow the lives of Brent and Carley, who,in Book 1, experienced a tragic event that turned their lives upside down. This event, which I won’t spoil here, had a profound impact on their marriage and their individual lives. Brent and Carley are now left to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and come to terms with the consequences of this tragedy.
As far as the story goes, as you play each of those three games, you will find yourself investigating, exploring, and also working with other characters to uncover the truth behind the plans that Daryl Crawford Jr. (Michael’s brother-in-law on a mission to take control back from Michael) has put into action, and it is going to take all of them working together in their own ways and abilities to try and stop him and his organization.
As I said, the story is very complex, and its superb writing is the pinnacle of the game. You will want to play this for the plot first and for the sexy demons second!
Wicked Choices: Gameplay
Wicked Choices features a complex story that spans several games, and this complexity is not just limited to the narrative. The gameplay mechanics are intricately designed to reflect the choices made by the player throughout the game. For instance The decisions made by both the antichrist Michael and the angel Lynara heavily influence the outcome of the game. This means that players will have different experiences and outcomes depending on the choices they make, making the game deserving of multiple playthroughs.
While there may not be a lot of choices in the story, the ones that are present have meaningful consequences. For instance, one choice at the beginning of the story leads to a game over, but the authors recognized this and adjusted the narrative to avoid such abrupt endings. Additionally, the choices in the story allow the reader to shape the protagonist’s dominant side and influence their actions. These choices create a sense of agency for the reader and enhance their immersion in the story.
Because the games are meant to be replayed, the developers included a handy flowchart. I think incorporating that into the game is a brilliant idea. This chart was created in such a way that it allows you to explore the game on your own and see the number of interconnected scenes as well as possible alternate routes for a second or third playthrough.
Wicked Choices: The Visuals and Sound
Despite the older graphics in Book One being dated and simplistic compared to the newer games, they still hold their ground and remain enjoyable for several reasons. Firstly, the art style and design choices in the older graphics have a unique charm and nostalgia that resonate with long-time fans of the series. Additionally, the simplicity of the graphics allows for a smoother gameplay experience with fewer technical issues and a focus on the core gameplay mechanics and storytelling.
Nevertheless, the models appear quite compelling! I like how neither MC nor the other characters have “over the top” bodies or biologically impossible breasts or figures. Characters are diverse and one-of-a-kind, which is actually still a rarity.
When it comes to the newer games in the series, the games are seeing drastic improvements in the visuals. For example, in the newer games, character models have become more realistic, with greater attention to detail in facial features, body proportions, and animations (mostly due to the newer models being used). The textures used for the environments have also become more intricate and lifelike, adding depth and richness to the game world. Additionally, the developers have implemented advanced lighting techniques, resulting in more dynamic and immersive visuals.
It is clear that the developer has come a long way since the beginning.
Wicked Choices: The Sex
The sex scenes in the Wicked Choices series play a significant role in enhancing the story. They contribute to the overall narrative by adding layers of complexity to the characters and their relationships. For example, in Book 1 of the game, the sex scenes explore themes of dominance and lust, which are crucial elements of the antichrist’s character development. These scenes not only provide a realistic portrayal of human behavior, including lust and animalistic tendencies, but they also offer players the opportunity to make choices that impact the outcome of the game.
In another example,NTR, sharing, and swinging themes are allowing players to decide whether to stay loyal to their wife Carley or explore different routes in “Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers.” The sex events become an integral part of the gameplay and further immerse the player in the story.
The sex scenes in the Wicked Choices series are unique because they depict “real human behavior,” capturing the complexity of human emotions and motivations. For instance, the scenes explore not only physical desire but also emotional connections between characters. Especially in “Wicked Choices: Bed Chambers.
This attention to detail in portraying realistic human behavior sets the game apart from other adult games that often rely solely on explicit content without delving into the emotional aspects of sexuality.
The writing in the Wicked Choices series is a key factor that elevates both the games and the sex elements within them. The carefully crafted dialogue and descriptions bring the characters and their interactions to life, creating a rich and immersive experience for the players. The writing not only adds depth to the narrative but also enhances the sex elements by providing realistic and engaging dialogue during the intimate scenes. The attention to detail in the writing, combined with the player’s ability to make choices that impact the story, creates a truly interactive and memorable experience.
As with all games in the Wicked Choices series, the sex scenes are a compliment to the story. The scenes still play a major role in the games, as they add components of real human behavior, which also include lust and sometimes even animalistic tendencies when it comes to sex.
How the sex events will turn out and what content you will see is heavily based on player choices, so for instance, it is up to the player if you are staying loyal to your wife Carley in Bed Chambers or if you are going to go a different route.
Writing is what elevates not just the game but also the sexual elements within it. If you let yourself be immersed, you will have a great experience.
Even though the sex events are usually short, they are still done with care and with great detail for “human behavior.” This is an element we usually do not get to see in adult games. Even though some sex scenes have a fantasy element to them, they still feel real and somehow possible. The addition of the comic-style framing adds a great element to the presentation as well.
