“Love and Sex : Second base” is a semi-realistic visual novel/dating simulator, where a couple of young girls move into your home after your previous tenants move out (what a lucky guy he is).

Anyways, I think you get the idea. So let’s move on to the actual game itself shall we? Well, as I was saying. “Love and Sex” takes place over the course of several months. So what will happen to your relationship with them?

The game can be seen to be split between a visual novel and a dating simulator. So after the short introduction to introduce the girls, you are then left to your own devices in the main game.

A main game where you can move between rooms in your house, go into the city, park (or pub), and perhaps even go to work (to earn money).

And you do so all while having to deal with both of the two girls at home (each of whom has their own lives and follow their own timetable) and your work colleagues, paying rent, cleaning and buying things.

Moving to a different location can sometimes depend on the time of day – you can’t go to work late at night, for example, and the protagonist will complain that the park is scary at that time too.

It’s also possible you’ll meet some unsavory characters too, as well as other characters going about their business.

The protagonist’s house is fairly large and features three bedrooms, a pool, bathroom (which always seems to be hogged by the females in the morning), kitchen, sitting room and a hall.



Furthermore, in various places, you can interact with the girls to try and become friendlier with them, by either asking for their date of birth and phone number, or you can just eat breakfast, dinner or watch TV with them.

As good as that might sound though, you really need to keep an eye on your welfare…And that includes everything from hunger, thirst, cleanliness, money and not doing chores do not create a good working (or home) life.

In other words, regular visits to the bathroom are needed (when not being hogged), cooking and shopping for clothes and entertainment (both for personal and non-personal use) are needed as well, which brings you back to needing to work for money.

Even so, nothing much happens if you don’t eat or shower – besides the fact that your character will continually complain about being hungry (or smelling pretty bad), the only thing that seems to happen is a lack of choices with regards to your room-mates.

So in overall, “Love and Sex: Second base” is more of a life simulator than a standard visual novel…And as such it’s of a much slower pace than usual, which means it could take a long time to get anywhere with any of the girls that you come across.

This also means you need to work a lot harder as well, and more thought needs to be given to your actions. Nevertheless, I still find “Love and Sex: Second base” to be a rather fun erotic dating sim/visual novel.

So if you don’t mind the game’s rather slow pace, then you might want to give “Love and Sex: Second base” a try.

Pros:

+ Love and sex is a little more than your usual visual novel

+ Lots to do and sights to visit, along with a pretty large list of things that can be bought

+ Random events

+ Uncensored lewd content

Cons:

– Might be too much for those wanting to get straight to the “interesting” parts

– Graphics aren’t animated

– A few strange oddities (sleep appearing in the menu twice, for example) and the odd spelling mistake

– Backgrounds could be better

– Music is pretty awful

– Few spelling mistakes and value displaying problems

– There is no way of knowing how well you are doing

Gameplay: 4/5

Graphics: 3/5

Sound and music: 2/5

Controls: 3/5

Replay value: 3/5

Story: 3/5

Verdict: 3/5

“Love & Sex : Second Base” is a slow-burning life simulator. So the game will with no doubt interest those who like to take things slowly or prefer more casual games. Howeever, for those who prefer more action, there may not be enough excitement here to keep their attention.
