Overview
Wet Attack was released in 1999 by CDV software and is an adult-themed, windows based game in which the player navigates through three different styles of gameplay to build a crew to explore various planets in the quest to defeat the evil antagonist; The Pimpetrator.
Story
The story follows the plight of a woman named Lula. Her home planet is being taken over by an evil monster called "Pimpetrator " and her people need help to get rid of him before they are all cast into slavery. She sends messages to our heroes' home planet to find someone to help her fight against her nemesis using lust and sex. Our protagonist, Buck, starts off as a taxi driver in a sex-obsessed city. He receives her messages and by coincidence stumbles upon a space ship after breaking into a police compound. Using this ship, he aims to make his way to Lula's planet to fight the Pimpetrator, meeting companions along the way.
Graphics
For much of the game, the graphic standard was pre-rendered 3D animation. Environments and characters would interact with each other quite fluidly, however looped animations had a habit of looking rather repetitive very quickly.
Interestingly, despite the ore focus being on 3D rendered graphics drawn as sprites, there are some Direct X based 3D elements to the game. For example, during flight sequences there may be moments when the ship will be attacked by Pirates. At these points the player can enter a Wing-Commander styled gameplay sequence where 3D (Polygon Based) fight sequences will commence.
Gameplay
Gameplay is actually incredibly varied in this game.
There are four different modes on which the game prides itself on.
First is an adventure mode, which could also be referred to as the "story mode". Only in this mode the story unfolds and the the player must navigate Buck through areas in a point and click based game. As is typical in a game like this, the player must find buttons, people, debris and so on.
At the start of the game the player finds an upgradable ship called "The Tit" which will facilitate their exploration of the rest of the game. For this ship to meet its' full potential, the player can employ staff members to fly the ship, handle combat, work the sick bay, and work as gigolos/prostitutes for morale and financial gain.
The Second mode is Business Management. This mode has no effect on story but is included as something to occupy the players' time. This mode consists of a large room. In this room are smaller rooms filled with gigolos and prostitutes (one per room), and the main premise is that, when the players' ship has landed on a planet, the inhabitants will pay for time with these gigolos. The mode itself has some elements one wouldn't expect however. For example, it features the ability to fully customize the rooms (Like The Sims, Theme Hospital) and it also has statistics on cleanliness, diseased rooms and satisfaction of both staff and customers. This mode is of an isometric nature.
The Third mode is a full 3D mode. This mode occurs when Prates attack the ship in-between space flight to and from planets. The mode itself is very basic, ships will fly toward the camera (1st person turret on ship) and will shoot. The damage incurred to the player is not immediately visible, and can only be gauged when the player exits the mode. The player simply has to click and hold the left mouse button to fire the gun to destroy enemies.
The final fourth mode is a foreplay simulator. When the player accesses this mode from a staff members profile (by clicking on them), a pre rendered Full Motion Video (FMV) appears. However, unlike most FMV's, this FMV has small boxes rendered over it. Clicking inside of these boxes - not only at the correct time - but in the correct box, gives points. In the FMV the girl is usually sitting in a provocative pose, for example, with her legs open toward the player. The boxes are usually rendered on her breasts, crotch or mouth. Each box has a certain score attached to it based on a girls likes, for example if a girl likes being kissed, using a kiss tool on her mouth will offer max points. However, repeating this over and over decreases points from that area, and the player must try something new.
Much like the Adventure mode, the player can cycle through "tools" to use on the girl with the right mouse button. These range from a tongue and a hand, to sex toys. If the player reaches a maximum amount of points within a pre-set time limit, they are treated to a FMV of the players character and the girl having intercourse and results in a positive interaction.
