Description
Cultural Replay: A Culture Shock Fanwork – Paradise Lost and Found
Trading the steel and glass jungle for swaying palm trees and endless stretches of golden sand, Kai wasn’t just moving to Hawaii with his mom and sister, he was diving headfirst into a world ripped from the pages of “Cultural Replay: A Culture Shock Fanwork.” The game, notorious for its blend of island life, sun-drenched romance, and taboo exploration, mirrored their new reality a little too perfectly. Here, beautiful women of all ethnicities seemed to exist on every corner, their smiles as warm as the Hawaiian sun.
But unlike “Cultural Replay,” where the player character methodically navigated a web of relationships, Kai’s reality was far messier. The game offered a sterile, consequence-free playground. Here, emotions were raw, possessiveness simmered just beneath the surface, and the potential for heartbreak felt real. The thrill of juggling affections, a core mechanic in “Cultural Replay,” was suddenly laced with the very real possibility of hurting the people he cared about.
Was this his chance to live out his wildest fantasies, a real-life “Cultural Replay” playthrough? Or was he setting himself up for a spectacular crash and burn? The lines blurred. The constant flirtations, the lingering touches, the whispered promises under the starry sky – it was all intoxicating. One minute he was sharing stolen kisses with Leilani, a local surfer girl with eyes like the ocean, the next he was caught in a heated exchange with his childhood friend, Maya, who’d confessed her feelings on their flight over.
The cultural nuances added another layer of complexity. Navigating the concept of “Kapu Aloha,” the Hawaiian principle of respectful connection, became paramount. Unlike the game, where cultural sensitivities were neatly packaged into dialogue options, here, a misstep could lead to social ostracization or worse.
The potential for emotional fallout loomed large. “Cultural Replay” offered a reset button, a chance to rewind and choose differently. Here, there were no do-overs. One wrong move could alienate Leilani’s protective brother or shatter Maya’s trust. The consequences felt heavy, a stark contrast to the game’s carefree exploration.
As the weeks turned into months, Kai found himself caught in a web of his own making. The allure of exploring his desires was undeniable, but the potential for heartbreak weighed heavily. He yearned for the carefree world of “Cultural Replay,” yet craved the depth and authenticity of his new life.
So, how does one navigate the complexities of real-world love in a place that feels like a game? Can Kai find a way to balance his desires with the emotional wellbeing of those around him? “Cultural Replay: A Culture Shock Fanwork” forces us to confront the messy realities of love and the consequences of our choices. Is this paradise found, or a paradise lost?
This is a free unofficial fan remake of Culture Shock by King of lust.

Changelog
0.30
Notable Changes to Day 9 and 10:
– All – Added an additional romantic night event for the sister. It has no plot relevance. Just shows them being affectionate.
– Day 9 – Most Day 8 classes moved to Day 9. The Day 9 classes will be moved to Day 11 or will be kept for later.
– Day 9- Continued to write out Clink and Tink (Anne and Clarissa) when needed. Again, there is no payoff.
– Day 9 – Gloryhole scene cut and reserved for integration towards the end of a route. I think it could completely change a player’s opinion of Emma so early in the story.
– Day 9 – Created a custom Karla scene with old renders to create a more transitional scene for the route.
– Day 9 – Replaced Leia stripper outfit class with a more generic custom class scene. The original renders are being reserved for a future plot point.
– Day 9 – Removed Leia call choice. It was a dead choice that looped back to the choice selection.
– Day 9-10 – Conversations with the mother and sister have been almost completely rewritten.
– Day 9-10 – Study event at James and Emma’s has been merged so you can talk to both characters.
– Day 10 – Removed the choice to play video games instead of talking to the sister in the morning. It skipped content and had no consequence on the story.
– Day 10 – Removed car driving renders in the morning. MC will take the bus to Emma and James’s house. Getting picked up by Weiku was a little too out there.
– Day 10 – Removed quiz mini-game with Emma during her hangout. Scene will change based on the study option.
– Day 10 – Added Liza pickle picture as a James choice option. Removed the sister picture option. At no point in the game did you take that picture, and she wouldn’t have let you anyways.
– Day 10 – Cut out scene where MC spies on Emma showering for later. Those renders have a lot more potential than what they’re being used for.
– Day 10 – Removed Kana references. Unless KingofLust actually puts her in the game, I don’t see any reason to keep her variables. She can be re-implemented later, if needed.
– Day 10 – The Weiku and mother conversation has been changed to better justify certain scenarios later on. Keeping the unused Weiku renders where he’s shirtless in the living room will be more valuable as transition renders.
– Day 10 – Sister room scene changed to better reflect story changes. There are four different variations of the Marcus/Sister scene, not all of them romantic. She will only get to second base with Marcus at this point under very specific circumstances. These renders will show up differently in other routes. This section is being recorded as a potential location for an early Marcus-Sunny sex scene, but with 20+ days to integrate, I’m leaving it as is until I get a better sense of pace.
– Day 10 – Added a jerk-off scene for MC, if Marcus gets to second base.
Community Suggested Changes:
– Added Gallery feature in Preferences screen. See the rest of the post.
– Day 1 – 2 – Added a choice flag that will enable or disable the Mom romance route. Script has been changed to account for this where needed. When the flag to unlock the Mom romance route is not enabled, you and your mother now appear to be a close mother and son pair, rather than flirtatious.
– Day 2 – Added another option for the Karla meeting on the beach. Changed dialogue in subsequent days to account for this.
– Day 6 – You can now get Karla’s number as a beta if you use the new third option on Day 2.
Continuity Error/Bug Fixes:
– All – Fixed a centering issue for the scroll up animation on the sister relationship event.
– Day 1 – There was no explicit party invitation dialogue (they just talk about it) from Marcus on any days before the party. Not sure if I deleted it by accident or if that was part of the OG game.
– Day 1 – Dinner conversation on this day brought in line with the party scene in Day 3. It didn’t seem realistic that she would let her high school daughter go to a college party.
– Day 2 – Some of the swimsuit choice menus were not updating stats correctly. This has been fixed.
– Day 2 – Transition from the choice to take a nap to Lucas bar scene now flows correctly.
– Day 3 – Party – Fixed a render continuity error in the party scene where the sister would show up as clothed during the Alpha path.
– Day 4 – Reworked the morning conversation with Liza about her clothing choice. If the mother buys the sexy dress, the MC will bring it up and you will have an entirely different conversation. This may be reworked to be the default option, but I believe the intention of the dress choice was for there to be a meaningful difference, even though both are equally sexy in my opinion.
– Day 4 – The MC receives a coffee even though they didn’t order anything. The MC now orders a coffee.
– Day 10 – Fixed OG issue with the dialogue where it assumes the sister went to the party even if you took her home.
Changes to Previous Days:
– All – Almost every day has a major scene reworked in some way. Some scenes were made more responsive.
– All – Disabled Delamar action route until a more clear route can be defined.
– All – Removed the flavor text function that switched some text based on status. It was creating issues for some 3rd party tools.
– Romance Sister Start – Scene has been updated with new variables, some dialogue and renders reworked/reorganized.
– Romance Night Events – Images have been manipulated through the engine to make them darker so they fit in with other similarly modified renders.
– Intro – Rewritten and slimmed down.
– Day 0 – Re-added the sister choice for this day to give players access to the point. The route is still disabled and will not start.
– Day 1 – Added a college application option for the computer choice on Day 1. This will alter some dialogue up to Day 5.
– Day 2 – Rewrote beach scenes to better flow with the rest of the story.
– Day 3 – Party – Opened up the Sophie kiss to the BETA path and made the characters more responsive to all of the kissing that goes on in general. Marcus and Sophie will react when their respective partners are kissed. It does slightly change the NSFW scene for some routes.
– Day 3 – Party – Removed the mother’s phone conversation with Aunt Liza from non-NTR path. It doesn’t contribute anything to the story or the characterization. You see her the next morning no matter what. Those are good renders so reducing the amount of times they’re seen in a route will allow for more reuse.
– Day 4 – Removed the sister groping choice from Day 4. The choice didn’t have any point to the story at all. It may be re-implemented in the future.
– Day 4 – Reworked the sister dinner conversation to make it more about the sister and the MC. Remove the choice as it had no impact on the game. A copy of the scene was kept if I want to reintegrate some of those concepts in the future.
– Day 1 – 6 – The college enrollment/mother anger plot-line has been almost completely rewritten for better flow.
– Day 6 – Decoupled scene where sister walks in on MC showering. It has no real story purpose, so it can now be triggered at any point during the game when conditions are met.
– Day 7 – 8 – The Maude coffee shop scene from Day 9 has been reintegrated and put into Day 7 and Day 8. The relevant render has also been re-added to the James scene in Day 10. Some of the renders were removed because it’s a little too much escalation. They may be reintegrated in the future.
– Day 8 – Removed high love sex scenes of the Mom/Son date. It was just too soon and skewed the pace for players who wanted to actually romance the mother. Two different prompts were added so the rape scene is skippable. Because the high love versions of the scene were removed, there was no reason to restrict it to one status. The date was opened to non-NTR alpha players by adding a section after the mom car scene where you can ask her on the date.

Developer Notes
This is a fan rewrite that I am using to learn the Renpy framework and best practices. I am hoping it revitalizes interest in the original game. I am not associated with the original creator or game in any way.
It started as an effort to fix the grammatical and continuity errors, but some other fans encouraged me to expand and share my work. I was posting my updates in the original thread, but after talking with several other users and the mods, it was decided that it should have its own thread.
I also won’t implement an ending until the original game is finished or abandoned to prevent loss of income to King of lust.
Feel free to share feedback, report bugs, or even suggest scenes or story changes. Be aware that I am limited by the original renders and fanart.
