Erotica Island is a 2001 X-rated video game developed by Redfire Software and published by Flare Media Limited. It was BBFC 18 Certified.[1]
Production
Bonusweb.cz described the graphics as being of the manga style.[2] The developers described the title as similar in tone and gameplay to Leisure Suit Larry.[3]
The game was exhibited by Flare Media Ltd. at an expo, with hostesses in pink dresses promoting the game.[4] The developers wanted to release the game during February 2001, ideally on Valentine's Day.[5] The game went on sale on March 21, 2001 in Britain, and those in other countries could purchase the game online.[6]
While Flare Media assured Bonusweb.cz many times that they would send a demo of the game, they never did. Bonusweb.cz was only able to review the game after a community member who had bought the game sent it to them.[7]
Plot and gameplay
The player is the billionaire Reggie Rich whose plane crashes on an island. The only way to escape is on a boat. However the owner lends it for $10,000. He offers to lend it for $100 if the player seduces all the girls on the island.[8]
Reception
Erotica Island was panned by critics. Four Fat Chicks called the game "crap", with "no redeeming value, social or otherwise".[9] Video game database Spong described it as a "perverted, poor attempt".[10] Bonusweb.cz criticised the game's graphics.[11] GameCaptain.de gave the game a rating of 14 out of 100.[12] Absolute Games gave the game a rating of 25%.[13]
German gaming magazine PC Games strongly criticized Erotica Island, calling it "shit" and an "idiotic pseudo-adventure" with "atrociously bad" graphics, and gave it an overall score of one percent. PC Games summarized the game as a whole as a game about "small dicks and big boobs ... and absolutely nothing at all", further stating bluntly that "if you play this game longer than five minutes, it's your own fault."[14]
