Yareel

Since 2013, Yareel has been pushing the envelope on high quality online-only porn gaming. The game aims to provide a true next-gen experience the likes of which has been demanded by the online porn community for many years. Even in the face of popular demand, the online sex simulator genre has been rather sparse, particularly when it comes to quality productions. Yareel is definitely one of those productions as there are no visible corners cut and no compromise on visual fidelity or gameplay quality. With Yareel you get the absolute best that the times can offer. That is not to say that Yareel is an all in one substitute for all pornographic games. There are certainly criticisms that have been levied against this title. Still, the game stands tall and proud as one of the few properly polished interactive pornographic 3D experiences out there. It’s also completely free to play, which possibly guarantees that this game will remain a staple of the genre for years to come.

Entering the Matrix of Smut

Yareel’s name doesn’t go far in giving you a sense of what you can expect to see, but it’s refreshing to see a video game title that is recognizable and stands on its own. The game’s main competitors are all productions that stick to descriptive titles like “3D Sex Villa”. Now, there’s nothing wrong with having descriptive titles, but when a game really gets under your skin it’s nice to have a unique name to match with the face.

This game brings you a full-fledged sex simulator coupled with some social media features to keep the action going for as long as possible. Right off the bat, it’s important to note that this game is not an MMO. There are no public zones to explore like you might see in, say, VR Chat. Instead, you get a singular zone that you can load up, bedrooms being the most popular, for obvious reasons. Then, you find yourself a viable match to join you in your sexual escapades and the two of you do what comes natural.

You are not limited to interacting with a single person at a time, either. You can group up with several people and have yourselves a sexual human sandwich, essentially playing Tetris with each other’s bodies. This is far from an original concept, mostly because the online porn community has been asking for a proper sex simulator since the very advent of the internet. People like their sex chats, but when it comes to an actual immersive simulator that lets you replicate real life, technology has always seemed to lag behind a bit. Technically, the tech necessary to make this happen has been around since the early noughties, but given the high cost associated with using triple A gaming engines, no porn studio has really wanted to take that plunge.

Into the 3D Dimension of Sex

These days, prices of game engines are at an all-time low, with many being available for free. Such is the case with Unity3D, a game engine for the masses. This engine has been taking the indie world by storm for many years now, given that it’s entirely free to use. Granted, you have to pay for a premium subscription if you are making money hand over fist, but beyond that it’s entirely free to use. What’s truly fascinating about this engine is that even though it doesn’t quite reach triple-A corporate status of optimization, it brings the same level of 3D model quality potential to the masses, for free.

So it’s no wonder that the folks behind Yareel decided to roll with Unity for this release. It helped them bring the world of sexual simulation into three dimensions with no compromise on quality. Every single asset in this game looks properly polished and given that they were going for a simulation vibe, it’s no wonder the entire game is very reminiscent of The Sims. That game was entirely PG, though. Now, imagine a multiplayer Sims game with fully uncensored and in depth sex scenes and you have an understanding of how Yareel works.

Unlike in The Sims, however, you don’t get to own your own house and pick out your furniture. You only get the parts where the sexual interactions happen. In that regard, the game misses out on any MMO features or true character-based role-play. It’s centered more around immersing you into a specific experience, rather than immersing you into your character. And, given that your character can be altered at any time, you really don’t “get to know them”. Instead, you spend your time exploring the sexual ideas and experiments of other people’s preferences.

Picking Up Strangers and Taking Them Home

Finding someone to have random no-strings-attached sex with has never been easier. Yareel comes with a built in social media platform that has very limited features. These features, however, are more than enough for you to find someone to have casual sex with in the comfort of your own home – or in the middle of a public beach. The world is your oyster in this game, and there are always countless individuals who are either looking for someone or waiting for someone to find them.

The game also lets people customize their personal profiles so that you can see their profile pictures, personal characteristics and sexual preferences. It’s kind of like a dating app, except you get the casual sex built in. You never have to leave the house. This is also much safer. Online sex cannot lead to unwanted consequences. If it gets too extreme, just shut the router off and go make yourself a cup of tea instead.

Most of the people you’ll meet in Yareel will be surprisingly easy to talk to and interact with, since it’s a given that you all have the same goals in mind. Now, if you’d like to also role-play to the point that you get on text or voice chat and talk to each other while you’re getting it on, you’re entirely free to do that. Just make sure that the person you’re with really is the person associated with the profile. It’s common for men to role-play as women in this game, since men are the target audience for online sex simulators in general. Therefore, if you don’t want to be ripped out of the immersion either avoid direct communication or make sure the person you’re with really is the person you’ve invited back to your virtual bedroom. On the other hand, if you’re in the market for some man-on-man action, regardless of the genders of your in-game avatars, you’re in luck. That’s the likeliest statistical scenario given how many men play this game, so you’re sure to have a ton of fun.

Breaking out the Coin Purse

You might be wondering how a company can afford to provide you with such a next-gen 3D experience without charging you a single penny. The answer of course is micro-transactions. The game features a gigantic list of items that can be used to bolster the action. Some of these are cosmetic, like outfits and flat out joke decorations. Others are sex toys that can be included in the action and can be very helpful if you’re going for a specific fetish within the action.

All of these cost in-game currency which can be really hard to rack up by just playing the game, especially if you’ve got a particular item in mind. This is roughly where the cash payments come in. You can pay real money to acquire these items instantly and you’re going to feel rather encouraged to do so. Now, the game is perfectly enjoyable as it is, but bonuses are always welcome. Plus, they help break the repetitive nature of the sexual gameplay if you’ve been playing for a long while. You don’t have to feel particularly guilty for spending money in this game. Yes, micro-transactions are frowned upon in the gaming world, but in a video game that doesn’t charge you anything and brings you free high quality 3D action, it’s not a bad thing to reward the creators for their work. Just make sure you do not go overboard with your spending, unless Yareel is the only pornographic game that you play regularly.
