Lula Inside turns CDV’s virtual porn star mascot into a Tamagotchi basically. Once you install the game and run it for the first time, Lula maintains a virtual presence on your computer tied to your internal clock. There’s a whole menu of sexy stuff you can order her to do, but that’s only available so long as she’s healthy and happy; thus the Tamagotchi-style management. At least you don’t have to clean poo (though that probably would have moved copy to a whole new demographic).
Let me describe my first play experience to give you an idea of how this works, and what to expect. Upon starting I naturally began exploring the menu of sex options, which are all basically little Willy Beamish-style animations that are really not sexy and are often quite weird (the giant tongue whapping away at Lula’s neck is the best one, what am I Shrek or something). You can through five or six of these before Lula gets hungry, at which point I fed her sketti and she immediately developed a case of the farts and had no more interest in sexytime. She also apparently needs to sleep overnight in real time and I first played it around 11 PM, so immediately after developing the gastrointestinal disorders she started complaining about her extreme tiredness and had to be sent to bed due to unwillingness to do literally anything else.
I wasn’t about to play for anywhere near this long but judging by other screenshots online you apparently have a 28 day (I assume real time) limit to raise her satisfaction level to the max or she’ll ditch you for some other nerd’s computer. This seems to be done via a combination of gifts and sex, but gifts are limited to one every so often (and cannot be repeated), and seemingly everything you feed this girl gives her the toots so between that and sleeping there seem to be very limited windows for sex. Kind of a realistic simulator I guess, but not at all fun. Kudos to CDV for getting this Windows 95 product to install and run flawlessly on all future versions of Windows, though, they had solid forward-thinking coding going for them if nothing else.
