Love, Lust, and Rock 'n Roll
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Story
My name's Flin, and I'm the lead singer in a high school rock band. My best friend, Eric, mans the drums. On bass, there's my wonderful girlfriend, Stella! And on guitar, Stella's best friend (and Eric's girlfriend), Kelly. I love this band, and I know that our big break is just around the corner!
However, in the meantime, I've got my studies to worry about. Fortunately, Stella's sister Amy has offered to help me study. On top of that...her mother, Julie, has mentioned wanting help around the house, and I don't think it's ever a bad idea to have your girlfriend's mom on your side. Right?
This is a story about my rock band's rise to fame, while I...figure out how to handle a multitude of growing relationships in my life.
Features
- Roguelike story structure
- Randomized order of story events (still organized into chapters)
- Regular sets of choices pulled randomly from a larger pool
- Designed for maximum replayability
- Ascension Mode
- New game+ mode that lets you carry over some key stats between playthroughs
- Exponential stat growth, leading to ridiculously large (fun) numbers
- Choice-based conversation mini-game
- Abstracted so you can imagine what's being said, based on the situation
- RNG elements to keep decisions interesting
- But she's married, and she's my girlfriend's mom...
- But you don't fucking caaaaare
- Pursue your girlfriend's best friend and/or sister, while you're at it
- There's no "route locking," so any combination goes
- Emotional sex scenes
- Despite the attitude above, all sex scenes are sensual and emotional
- They aren't done out of anger or spite; only overwhelming lust/love
- During these special scenes, you'll also see internal narration from the girl's perspective
- Looping sex animations
- If you're lucky enough to find one
- Each girl (not named "Stella") has at least three
- Gallery
- Grayed-out thumbnails to hint at what content you've missed
- Most animations can be viewed here as well
- Don't get caught!
- Different sex scenes come with varying levels of risk, based heavily on how you've been playing
- If you're caught, it's GAME OVER, FUCKER
Things to bear in mind...
I made this visual novel to cater to my own niche preferences. These include the following:
- Cheating
- Netori, NOT netorare - the only people in this universe who ever cheat are you and the girl you're doing it with, should you both choose to.
- Technically, you'll never be forced to cheat (as long as you don't count a possible stolen kiss you don't initiate). You can remain fully faithful, but you'll...kind of be missing the point.
- Softcore, vanilla sex scenes
- No nipples or genitalia shown - though the text is somewhat explicit.
- Front-to-front positions (a lot of missionary), always vaginal.
- As stated above, a shared emotional connection.
- Did you know? Climaxes are always simultaneous, and coming inside the woman never leads to unintended pregnancy!*
*Don't apply this bullshit to the real world, but that's how it works here!
Furthermore, this project cuts some corners. There are no general-purpose backgrounds. The story is about 80% done, but not over yet.

Love money rock and roll которого мы заслужили
Anyone know why there's not a new update?
It's still in the works. There's still a lot that needs to be done, but it's way more than halfway there, and it will once again be the largest update ever.
is there a way for me to play this on a phone?
Because I found a website where I could play it, and the game was really fun .
Someone made an unofficial Android port a long time ago, but I don't officially support Android. The game's UI design isn't really built with a phone screen in mind. As I understand it, some users have had success using Joiplay to play it on their Android devices.
okay thanks
As someone who identifies as a demi heterosexual rock god who regularly fantasizes about his best friends mom. This game really was a godsend! I love the way the music dynamically changes with the game as scenes progress. I also love the emphasis of real intimacy while trying to balance the attractiveness(like) with guilt and lust. It's oddly relatable and also satisfying to earn those extra spicy scenes!
Heheh, the reasoning is simply this: I don't like seeing nipples and genitalia (for the most part).
I believe I COULD make nipples that I'd like seeing, but it'd be a lot of extra work for (to me) little payoff.
There's a middle ground between ecchi anime and hentai that turns me on the most, that I can never seem to find anywhere online. Since I can't find it, I decided to create it.
Game seems really nice so far. One thing I'd recommend would be a gallery. It would help give a good idea of how much of the existing content you've seen so far.
I completely agree, and I was going to include that in the initial release but found I'd have to mark every CG where it showed up, so I've delayed. But it's in the works!
This is great! I love the flirting minigame. Got a really early (really hot) sex scene with the blonde but her guilt skyrocketed after that so I couldn't follow it up later. Gonna go try again!
Heh, yeah, I might need to nerf the sex penalties a bit. Thanks!!
Reminds me of my high school days, only the band was all guys. This is good work, thanks! I'll keep a watch on your progress.
Yeah, same here! Kinda writing from experience when it comes to the band stuff (minus the success, of course). Thank you!
It all seems so random, I can't determine which answers will progress me toward romance. Seems I can get my aspects to increase, but I've not seen anything more than a kiss on the cheek after two playthroughs. Maybe it's not in this part of the game?
I would recommend the tutorial, if you haven't played that, but I'll admit I didn't fully explain every mechanic as well as I could (partially on purpose, but...).
If you ever see a lone ellipses during a particularly tender moment (where the only text is "..."), that's a clue that a "lust check" is about to happen. This IS random, but it's based on how high both her lust and like values are (and lowered based on her guilt value). If you pass this check, then she'll do something that leads you to a 2-choice screen (and the text will tell you about the "odds of being interrupted"). When provided with 2 choices in a tender moment like that, the top choice leads to sex. The bottom choice rejects it.
In your case, were you in the basement with Kelly when she kissed you on the cheek? Because she only does that if you pass the lust check, which would then present you with these choices.
If my math is right, I believe each girl should have 4 possible sex scenes (except Stella, who just has 1 simple one). Each "Chapter" has 1 special scene for each character. In Chapter 1, for example, they're introduced. As early as Chapter 2, there's a possibility for sex, but it's quite tough that soon.
This all helps, so thank you. I will take another road trip with the band and see what happens.
