Gameplay

Lula 3D is an adventure game where the player controls Lula, an adult actress who must save her kidnapped co-stars to shoot her next erotic movie. She can be turned using the mouse and moved using the keyboard from a third person perspective, although attempting to move and turn at the same time can sometimes lead the game to crash. The player interacts with the environment by clicking on people and objects in the environment. Lula encounters puzzles throughout the game, and in order to progress through the game's storyline, the player must complete them.

The solutions to the puzzles often have a strange theme. In one puzzle, Lula flashes her dressing accessories to distract a clerk instead of using a more standardized adventure gaming device. The game does not allow the player to progress through the story until they have talked with all characters and clicked on all objects in an area. Lula is often required to perform appropriate acts in order to interact with characters and advance.

Story

Three porn star triplets are abducted from Lula's house and she decides to rescue them. After finding her keys, Lula leaves her home in Beverly Hills, California and travels to San Francisco, Las Vegas, and New Orleans to rescue them.

Development

The Lula series was originally developed by German company cdv Software Entertainment in response to the lack of mainstream Western adult video games, and the censorship in games such as the Leisure Suit Larry series. The game's voice acting was originally in German, but was translated for international versions of the game with different voice actors. The developers used motion capture for both action and erotic scenes. The use of motion capture for breast physics was advertised on the game's packaging as "Bouncin' Boobs Technology".

Reception

Lula 3D holds an aggregate score of 28/100 on Metacritic, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Critics panned the game for its technical issues and flat humor, and also panned its reported "Bouncin' Boobs Technology" as being unrealistic and childish for a mature game.

Eurogamer's Ellie Gibson believed that the game's low quality and childish humour made Lula 3D feel like an "erotic" adventure that was developed by and intended for 12-year-old boys and would "make you feel like you've just lost 12 years of your life, and leave you wishing that you had some kind of mind bulimia so you could sick it all up and start again." In particular, she criticized its sub-par translations, poor sound design, and mediocre graphical quality. PC Zone described the game as being "so inexorably, mindbogglingly ignorant of how either real games or real sex works that it spread-eagles itself a fair way into the 'so-bad-it's good' category." The game was considered "oddly compelling" for its quality, which the reviewer compared to "all ten minutes of Michelle from Big Brother decked out in cheap purple underwear staring slack-jawed into the camera on the midnight freeview on Television X."
