🕹 Editor's notes

Lula The Sexy Empire is a hilarious and overwhelmingly lewd depiction of the adult entertainment industry. This classic 1997 pc game lets you make your mark in the porn industry and grow your own seedy empire filled with smut. 

It is an exaggerated simulation of one of the most hidden worlds and offers a peek into what makes it function. Start small with zero budget, and gradually upgrade your equipment and your content's production quality. The game has some bizarrely kinky elements that make it extremely amusing to experience, plus lots of nudity!

Plot

The game starts with you and your sensually attractive girlfriend, Luna, in a sleepy insignificant town. You aren't going through the best phase in life at the moment, as you are hopelessly broke and wanted by the FBI. 

Desperate for money, you whip out a cheap secondhand camera and begin clicking pictures of your beautiful girlfriend. Maybe you can sell these to some perverted men for a few bucks? Or better yet, why not keep at it and slowly grow your own porn business? With this newfound resolve, you and your vixen lover, Lula, set out to create one of the largest porn empires known to man. 

Gameplay

Lula, The Sexy Empire, promises a whole lot of erotic fun and stimulation but fails to deliver on the material. Let's face it; this is an old game from 1997, so there's not much to expect from the gameplay. 

This game will present you with a series of poorly made animation loops that get super boring really fast. Although it is fascinating to discover these gameplay elements the first time, constantly being forced to repeat them takes the fun out of it. Moreover, the range of playable activities is quite limited and relies on the rampant repetition of existing elements. Overall, the graphics, artwork, animation, and gameplay are outdated.
