Damn virgins

An absurdist adventure game with Telenovela-style FMV cutscenes. A deliberate throwback to the bad acting and weird plots from old adventure and FMV games, Damn Virgins features a wacky plot and colourful characters. You play as Xavi, one of seven losers who is just bumbling about his days and completely unaware of the evil plot where a crazed man wants to sacrifice them all to appease the Mayan gods. Gameplay takes place mainly in two locations: your home, and a remote island. Puzzles range from finding a hidden key to solving a gear/block puzzle using the Mayan counting system... the puzzles here are really well designed, as is the overall level design. Graphics are early 2000s standards: digitized versions of the main character and for the rest drawings. It all holds up pretty well, except in the cave section where it becomes easily unclear where you came from and need to go next. Recommended for anyone who likes cheesy fun.

I have never written a "review" for a game on Steam, but this BS game made me do it! IT MADE ME DO IT!!! :) Ok, now my warning to all the lovers of adventure games, if you want to have fun - do not buy this game, even for the peanuts it is selling on Steam, cause it is not worth even that and you will be disappointed. I personally have requested a refund, thanks god that I did buy it recently and have played for only 22 minutes, during which was bored and annoyed to hell. First of all - even though the game uses Unreal 3 DK, it looks like s**t, assembled from extremely primitive assets by raving 16 y.o. amateurs (at best!). Seems like the same those amateurs are also "acting" in FMV sequences, which are REALLY trying to be funny, but are not. At least not to adults. The quality of those sequences, as you've guessed already, also c**p. Aside from looking (and playing) really bad with screen tears (cause graphical options are basically nonexistant! }:>) and awkward navigation, all those who do not speak Spanish will be forced to read subtitles, and even if it is not bad per se, and also the info on only spoken language is obviously on the steam page for this game, it kinda makes the whole experience even more dismal than it already is. So, in short, AVOID, if you are not Spanish and have already lost virginity... ;)

I'm enjoying it so far, I love the weird humor and all the references to classic adventure games. It would be nice to have more achivements, and it's possible to reload previous saves instead on just continue the game?

[b]Funny and crazy plot[/b] This adventure game has a strong indie component with fresh puzzles and lapstick humor. It's a return to the 90's games where you had video scenes with real actors. I personally do not like FMV games but in this case I had to make an exception. [h1]Plot[/h1] IMHO it’s the strongest point in the game, characters with awkward personality and funny interpretation done by amateur actors (but with no fear to make fool of themselves). The funniest part of the game are its videos, funny gags, but among everything, the Dean. It's impossible not to laugh when Alex gets into scene and does crazy stuff, I love it. From the virgins group I take Bruno, this blonde-bearded guy can't be more disturbing and the fact that the Dean thinks he is irresistible for the girls makes the scenes even more nonsense. [h1]Puzzles[/h1] A must have in all graphic adventure that won't leave you indifferent in this game. As always in the genre, you'll go from a logical set of actions and steps to get things working to a crazy puzzle. However, they are fair and after looking at the scenario and checking all the objects more than once you will get out of trouble. [h1]Graphics[/h1] The weakest point of the game. Nowadays we are used to see AAA graphics so I am expecting quality textures and more particle effects. However, since it’s thought to be like 90’s graphic adventures I would say it’s OK. [h1]Summary[/h1] Good product to have, will give you lots of laugh. A must have for all the graphic adventure game lovers that do not want to see this genre disappear. For the younger audience it's a good first step to get into adventure gaming! Enjoy! :)

Bizarre, silly, and much more fun than I expected. A point and click FMV adventure with an absurd plot. 100% Spanish voiceovers with English subtitles. A limited knowledge of Spanish (I studied in high school) makes it even more fun. If you're an old-school gamer from the 90's who remembers the days of FMV adventure games, you might enjoy this throwback. I'll give it a thumbs-up at its asking price of $5.

[i]Status: 100% Completed, both endings unlocked[/i] A fun trashy (in a good way) point-and-click adventure. The story and characters are great and hilarious, the graphics are 90s-like, which is also great for me (but not for the most people). However, the cave location was a confusing labyrinth and some of the puzzles were...well, there are not that many items to deal with, but I doubt that you'll manage to complete the game without using the walkthrough (thankfully, there is one). There were no crashes or game-breaking bugs, IIRC I've encountered only one bug, which happened twice (description of an item doesn't disappear after viewing it through the inventory, only restarting the game helps). Bought on sale, but it's completely worth the full price of 5$. It would be great to see a sequel (with Igor, of course).

Damn Virgins is a prime example of a well thought out and executed indie game. I often seek out and play indie games for the very reason some people avoid them....because they are different! Most are not AAA studio games (this one included), which can be a very good thing. Funky characters, goofy acting, humorous dialog (if a little juvenile at times), and mostly straightforward (and not too difficult) puzzles made this game a joy to play. Unlike one reviewer, I personally thought the decision to use Unreal Engine 3 for the graphics was a good choice as it gave the game a "throwback to the 90's" kind of vibe, just as pixelated graphics in games from studios like WadjetEye Games take me back to the 80's. If anything, I think they [b][i]add[/i][/b] to the immersion, not detract from it. I realize this is a personal viewpoint, but to expect AAA graphics from an indie studio is a bit unrealistic to me. Don't get me wrong....I like well done big-budget games with awesome graphics too, but this one doesn't need that to be a successful production. The "decision point" in the game leading to two distinct endings was an interesting development. I especially liked the way the developer gave us the option to play the alternate plot path immediately after finishing the game, which led to different puzzles and cutscenes. The only real con I ran into was the game had a couple glitches, one of which was game-breaking, but after messaging the developer via the game forum the problem was quickly fixed and I was able to continue on. I've never received that fast of a response from a AAA studio! And although this isn't necessarily a con, I prefer being able to manually save my progress so I can revisit specific points during gameplay, but that option isn't available in this game. The auto-save and "continue on from where you left off" feature employed here is somewhat common, but I find it a bit restraining. Overall, I really enjoyed this game, partly because I think the idea of sacrificing virgins always makes for a great plot premise....just maybe not [i]these[/i] virgins!

A crazy spanish point-and-click adventure game; best played at 2AM.

Spanish and english analysis: [Spanish] He estado todo el fin de semana muy enganchado a Damn Virgins y tengo que contarlo porque me está gustando mucho!. ¡Qué ganas de salir de trabajar y jugar otro rato! Puntos a favor: - Los puzzles. Durante todo el juego son muy divertidos y algunos muy complicados que hacen que se ponga muy interesante. - El sentido del humor está muy presente durante todo el juego. Me lo estoy pasando pipa, en algunos momentos me he reído a carcajadas. - El juego está lleno de guiños a aventuras gráficas de mi infancia y eso me hace estar más enganchado (Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Day of Tentacle...) - El cortometraje que incluye. ¡Muy muy currao!. Tiene puntos muy graciosos. Y que se vayan liberando vídeos que narran la historia me parece muy acertado! - El doblaje en castellano también me ha parecido un buen puntazo Puntos en contra: - Alguna cosilla técnica que me imagino que el desarrollador parcheará. Nada grave. - La interfaz de usuario, mejorable... ¡Juego recomendado si te gustan las aventuras gráficas! Lo comento también en inglés [English] I have been playing Damn Virgins all the weekend long! Very hooked!. I want to get out of work to play it! Pros: - The puzzles are very funny and some of them are very difficult. It makes the game interesting. - The sense of humor is very present all the game long. Very funny game. LMAO literally. - The game is full of nods to Lucasarts adventures of my childhood (Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Day of Tentacle...) - The short film included is very funny. Little fragments of it are released after found the solution to some puzzles and tells you the game story in real life. It is a big point. Cons: - Some little technical issues that the developer will patch I guess. - The UI could be better... Recommended game if you like the graphic adventures!

Cons Graphics are a bit old fashioned taking into account it has been developed with Unreal Engine 3. Pros The interface is clear and intuitive, like the classics Monkey Island or Discworld. When you interact with an object a little hud appears with different icons for each action that you can make, i.e. a hand for pick up or a gear for use. But the awesome part is when you try to play with a touch screen. I tried in my laptop and everything was fully functionally. I think it's the way a modern point and click game should be played. I like the puzzle mechanics, there are many kinds. Sometimes you have to make typical combination of objects in order to get a new one. I have secretly fallen in love with Igor.
