    No amount of content is worth the hassle of walking around the map with the terrible UI trying to complete tasks.

    - Decent characters but not much else
    - The scenes are far and between
    - You REALLY have to work for it, and imo it is not worth it

    It's not as bad as people say.

    I like sandboxes and prefer a slower burn. This game does it fine. The navigation isn't perfect but it isn't really bad.

    The renders are pretty good and the models are great. I dont personally like fantasy creatures type stuff, but the human models at least.

    The writing is pretty ok, although the girls aren't very deep, it's forgivable.

    A bunch of activities did seem pointless though. they are all the things related to summoning crap, which makes me dislike the fantasy part further.

    If we focused on just the two sisters we'd get more good content

    The bad reviews for this are all ridiculous. Not sure where these trolls come from... but they are certainly out in force.

    30 Year Old Virgin is a fantasy porn comedy with great looking renders and decent writing. I actually laughed a few times, and the game generally put a smile on my face.

    The MC is a lovable dufus. Not a total idiot but a bit clueless and single minded... which works as the game is meant to be a comedy about a 30 year old virgin.

    There are multiple things going on here that all work fairly well.

    1) There is an overall plot of becoming a wizard.
    2) There is the internal house story of living with your mother and sisters (all very attractive with better than average writing).
    3) There is a town to explore with some interesting characters to run into... both fantasy and more reality based.
    4) There is also a super hero group to join up with, and the adventures you get to go on with your team mates and superiors.

    The sandbox is pretty massive as clearly a lot of stuff is planned, but for now a lot of locations aren't used for much other than scavenger hunt for quest items.

    The hint system is well developed, but really not needed. I looked at it, but never found myself in a situation where it was needed.

    The game uses a progression system and so there is some grind, but it isn't just mindlessly repeating the same scenes over again as the writing changes as do some of the images.... Plus you can't get yourself in a loop of doing the same thing over again not knowing if something will happen as the scenes will say "new" when there is new content to explore.

    The one thing to remember is that this is a comedy... a lot of the scenes are meant to be bizarre and funny.... if that doesn't interest you then well maybe don't bother.

    There are some text errors, and at least a few places were text needed changing, but I never encountered a bug of any sort.

    The UI is simple to use, though there are a lot of different places to initiate scenes depending on which part of the story you are interested in following.

    I think sometimes it is hard to have both erotic scenes and comedy scenes in the same game as they kind of detract from each other, but it mostly works here. However, as far as I can tell there are no real love interests. It isn't a dating sim. I have never seen a choice with any impact either.

    Harem & comedy & incest & fantasy characters & magic & super hero story mashup.... and one insanely well made bestiality scene, which to be honest I found surprising.

    I definitely think it is worth checking out. Better than tons of stuff I have played in this genera.

    I am giving it 5 stars. I appreciated the developers creativity, and the game is well made with assets that are not generic. A lot of effort and thought has gone into making this game. It clearly wasn't just thrown together, and I suspect if development continues then it will only become better (and maybe stranger).

    Anyone giving this a review of less than 3 stars is nuts.

    People go overboard with low ratings here. The game is fairly fun, an easy 4 stars. Plus 1 to balance out the scales. It definitely needs some work but it's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Pros
    - Great models. Scenes seem to get better as the game progresses. At least the goblin date sex scene seems like a huge jump in quality from what came before.
    - story is alright. It's uneven and sometimes does itself a disservice with the silliness. The goblin date storyline was really nice.
    - it's really not that grindy. It may have been updated from what it was before but aside from a couple of storylines, I haven't hit any walls.

    Cons
    -the quality is very uneven. It seems like the person or people making the game have been getting better as they work on it but there's definitely some things that need fixing. An example of this are storyline issues. I accidentally started part 2 of bawdy cop storyline before part 1. The intro to the game really needs to be fixed because it's out of sync with how the characters act for the rest of the game.
    -I'm a big fan of night creeper scenes. This game has them but I haven't been able to progress because the ingame walkthrough simply doesn't help.
    - some issues with the screen freezing if you start an event at night that progresses time.


    Overall, a game that's pretty fun but could easily be improved by the developers. Worth checking out imo.

    VERSION: 0.28
    SUMMARY: Missed opportunity due to poorly structured game-play.

    PROS:
    1. Good looking models is pretty much the only good thing this game offers.
    2. Another could be the kinks are plenty.
    3. Written well and structured well
    4. Premise and story is silly but good and have a comical fun elements to it.
    CONS:
    1. Game play, UI and how the game "unlocks" content is just completely stupid. The player is limited to exact days, times for certain events to take place and some lock out any other event from taking place.
    2. Pertaining to above point, the player has a hint and quest system that does not explain or assist the player in any meaningful way. More often than not, certain events need to happen before another, completely unrelated (at least to the player) event can. All this does is frustrate the player to the point where they abandon the game and play something else with less bullshit mechanics to unlock content.
    3. As per above, this is one of the reasons I do not promote sandbox type games, they slow progress and frustrate the player. This causes more problems than good, why developers believe they need to stretch out content like this is beyond me. Less is more, give good meaningful content instead of hours of frustration! Lesson to all developers!
    TLDR: Game that has/had some potential to be more but failed not due to content, ideas or story but purely due to the execution, game-play and convoluted mechanics which ultimately destroy it.

    The renders aren't terrible and it goes in on some fets but left playing it thinking dang, this needs (not would help, needs) either a walkthrough mod or at least a gallery unlock option. It's got potential but it felt more like a chore to play (and guess at points) than fun. Could use some streamlining at a minimum.

    i liked the models and stuff but nobody in their right mind would like this tedious grind.

    you have to go through like 5 repeatable scenes to get 2-3 pictures extra.

    I don't think it's gonna be worth anyone's time.

    I usually check the reviews before trying out a game, but I don't read too much into it like with this game having 2.5 stars.

    From what I could gather it seemed this was a grindy mess. Well... it is a mess, sort of. Grindy? Not so much, you can get through all the current content (0.26) in a couple of hours.

    The game doesn't take itself seriously, there are funny situations, but also cringeworthy ones. The writing is passable, grammar's good, plot is fine and while building on a unique premise, there is really nothing standing out gameplay-wise.

    What did hook me into the game, and what I consider its strongest point, are the characters. I like the design/render/clothing on almost all of them. There are no big/huge boobs iirc which is always a plus for me.

    Now what really sold me on the game though is the MC's family and his interaction with them. The slow teasing and buildup with the 2 sisters was so good that I started doing the rest of the content first just to leave this for last.

    While you end up having sex (quite fast) with all the summons and some side characters, there is definitely an intended slower pacing in regards to your family members. This has definitely lagged behind as there is little to no sexy time with them yet, but there's definitely a boatload of teasing. Ash is curious and naive while Faye is a closet pervert. Did I mention how spot on their renders/clothing are? Even the mother character which I usually look past in these games had me quite interested.

    But while pondering why this 5 star game had such a low rating, I also realised that since my main interest was in like about only 25% of what this game has to offer, it simply doesn't reach that threshold. Hints are good, skill system straightforward, exploration is intuitive and I never found myself locked without knowing how to progress. I could add that the game is a bit barebones since I finished the current iteration in a single sitting.

    I give this game a passing grade with confidence and hope the dev will focus more on advancing the storylines of the current cast of characters which for me carried pretty hard (including Rapunzel!).

    Looks hot, but if you thought there's nothing worse than grindy games then you'd b wrong
    You can cheat those, n usually someone already has if you dont now how

    The worse are the time padded ones:
    You cant do this or that unless this or that
    Day/Night cycles but nothing to do in one or the other so you have to all the way back to bed (you can click to skip day in this one but still just wastes time when all is said n done) or pass time everytime you want to see a scene
    Can't do this or that because your not on X day of the week
    And many more.. Like "leveling" a skill that is just talking to an NPC which passes time so you have to go pass more of it to get back to daytime
    Saved the best for last: clicking around until something finally happens, our favorite

    Could just have gallery be unlocked, if the game is good people will play it
    I've accidently engrossed myself in some when my goal was initially to get off
    "Bro, I just wanted to beat my meat. Tf you doing making a good game" (or smth like that I've commented)

    Insert predicted "Dont play the game if you dont like it"
    Responded by a "Don't post the game if you dont want to hear that it's bad" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Basically: You're putting it out there n the results is people having their time wasted in frustration, hope you didnt expect a pat on the back for it .-.

    2 stars n it all goes to the artist(s) I'd give 0 to the game
    If you are also the artist then consider having someone else make the game who is mature enough to unlock gallery
    I get it, it's your "life's work" n usually these kinds of "devs" have a "you like it or dont" attitude. N yes, they themselves will cringe at it later when they grow

    Cant b a critique if there's no proposed solutions!
    Consider making it a VN -still on renply- instead of point n click
    Goes through all content, choices to see or not to see them still there
    Doesnt have to become a forking storyline with the whole choices have consequences or alternate paths

    There's grind and then there's ridiculous grind. Hard to say why they have an un-intuitive method, hints are layers down and forget about any organization... and that's for even discovering what needs to be done for so very little reward... it's just not worth it.

    Plot is pretty nonsensical.
    MC and a lot of other characters are mentally handicapped. This is used to fuel the humor as well. But is a bit annoying.
    Plot does not try to take itself seriously. It is played for laughs with lots of jokes and/or memes.
    For example, you train stealth by putting a bucket on the merchant's head and crouch walking around him. While he is actively complaining that this is abusing the game's mechanics. I laughed.
    Overall I would say it is somewhat charming. I think. So I am somewhat positively inclined to it.

    The art is pretty mid. Which is probably the biggest weakness of this game.
    Well... some of it is really good. but other parts are unattractive. so it mixes together into mid.

    A lot of scenes require you to repeat them a couple of times, yet each repeat is unique.
    For example... the librarian succubus giving you an exam...
    scene 1: sexy poses
    scene 2: sexy poses + lap dance
    scene 3: scene 1 in skimpy outfit
    scene 4: scene 2 in skimpy outfit
    scene 5: scene 1 in fetish underwear
    scene 6: scene 2 in fetish underwear
    scene 7: scene 1 naked
    scene 8: scene 2 naked
    scene 9: sex

    And... I would say that was probably the most repetitive route in the game.

    There is money all over the place so I didn't really need to grind. and the hint system is pretty good too. Shows you exactly what you can still do.

    I did not see any ads so I am not taking off points for that.
    I hear there are ads in the free version, but none in the subscriber version.
    But I saw none. So presumably the version here is the ad free one.
    Or dev dropped the idea of ads due to backlash. I am not sure which.

    You can disable "all sex that is not with the MC" and a seperate toggle for "bestiality content" via 2 settings.
    Even disabled they both slightly leaked into the game.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    There is quite a bit of content. But spread out over many girls so only a few manage to reach sex.

    This is a review of v 0.25

    I'm giving it a 2 star for the simple fact that the game outright lies to you from the start of the game.

    The first choice of the game, on the first screen after pressing new game, is asking if you want to turn off all sexual content with girls that doesnt involve the MC.

    However even when that option is selected, you still have unavoidable lesbian scenes without MC present, and if you keep bestiality turned on those scenes are also still shown even with the MC not present.

    I gave it a +1 because the renders are pretty decent and the sisters are cute but that is this games sole redeeming factor.

    is is one of my favorite H-Games to date. I was skeptical of the premise, but I quickly took a liking to it. If you enjoy absurd dumb stories in your fap material and you are a fan of 2000's internet humor mixed with comic book superhero stories, this game is excellent. I find myself grinning the entire time the story plays out and laughing out loud at points.

    In addition, the actual porn is pretty great. I wasn't sure how I felt about the goblin girl, or literally just Evelynn from League of Legends, but I find myself liking the gobbo quite a lot now and I have accepted that Evelynn is just there now. I am a huge fan of the style the creator went for with the girls, the bratty sister hits so many buttons for me, it's unreal. The models look fantastic, the animations are passable. My biggest gripe with the game is the quiet. The game does get a bit awkward with absolutely no music or voice acting.

    The gameplay itself is the typical sandbox porn game affair. Go to place, interact with character, watch scene, repeat. A couple of things help the flow a bit, though. The summoned characters in the game have far less slow burn before the porny bits, and the slow burn characters do get slightly more lewd every repeat instead of having a binary sexy/not sexy flag. I do wish more scenes were included in the replay though, some racey scenes are not included in the menu for whatever reason. Lastly, in your quest to get the sexy times, the game does have a good built in walkthrough if you don't feel like thinking (fair enough, this is porn after all).

    Overall, if you are interested by the pictures and you don't mind the porn mashup of Harry Potter, The Justice League, and Dragon Ball Z wrapped in /b/tard story, you should check this game out.

    amateurish and cringe writing
    sub-par renders and character design
    free roam sandbox, to the detriment of the story
    aimless

    fun base concept and core plot idea
    tries to do something new and different

    This game is completely unplayable on mobile. It has adds that appear like every minute, for a full 30 seconds. One of these ads appeared during a scene which completely ruined it, so I've uninstalled the game. It's a shame, but now I'm so annoyed with the Dev that I'm not even going to bother installing the full game on PC.

    Between the ads and absolute cringe dialogue, not worth the bandwidth it takes to download. The gameplay is standard RenPy, but an ad every 3 minutes no matter what is happening makes the game unplayable.

    Well there really isent much content to make a decent review so ill update this again once it has more to play for.

    The story isent bad but its not great either, there are a few fun parts and that about it.

    Animations is to early to really talk about alot of it is just picture to picture at the moment.

    Its a silent game as well which can make you sleepy doing all the sandbox stuf which is just a pain, i mean to get a hand job in bed you have to invite the sister for a wake up call for what feels like a million times, startting with her looking then touching with 1 finger after 50 times of that MC finaly sleep nude and it just starts over, where she looks, touch with a finger...you get the picture its drawn out so much it truely becomes boring.

    Also as game is now there is really no point in playing it, there is a footjob handjob and a blowjob thats about it.

    But like i said ill be fair and give it 3 stars and change it later for better or worse depending on how it progress.

    For 5GB it would seem like its a very big game, but in the images folder there are 3000 images.
    The game is divided in 3 sections, home, city and magic hat, and that is pretty much the folder structure.
    Everything that is inside the HAT folder is useless, just silly (not funny) stories with ugly fantasy races doing stuff and jumping and fighting.
    Almost everything inside the CITY is also useless, once again, ugly fantasy races that belong to the lore, and ugly people just being there and talking, (plus batman),
    Once established that those 2 folders are useless for a person that wants to enjoy a story and fap, more than 1600 images are discarded.
    In the HOME folder we have 1000 images which is the useful part of the game but there are still many images related to hud and navigation that im not counting.
    Inside that folder there are 10 subfolders and the one that contains the events of one of the rooms (specifically the basement) has 40% of the total images. In the basement you summon fantasy side characters to do lewd stuff, so even if this is sex related stuff, it is drom dish served side characters, and feels like they are tere to balance the blueballfest of the core part of the game.

    The game feels quite empty right now and it is mainly because there are 400 renders left for the core part of the story which is the actual household and its characters, and also cause these remaining 400 renders are used mostly used and reused following that stupid event formula of repeating the same renders over and over advancing one frame each time, so you may have an event with 10 steps but its actually an event with 4 base images +8 images that you have to do in 10 days and spend 20 minutes instead of 3. Personnaly I can tolerate it if the sillyness and hotness are balanced, but with the amount of silly the game has, and the few useful renders left its hard to swallow.

    If im giving 2 stars is because there are funny parts, even if I think that it should be toned down or balanced. Lesbian wars was funny, but more funny than hot since there is nothing special in the presentation, it relies on context but the form is the average. Still if all the game had the level of that event it would be a 4stars.

    TLDR
    1-5GB should mean a BIG game, but actually a regular person would find only 600MB of those of useful content.
    2- Too much sillyness and side stories turn off and oversaturate.
    3-Events that are actually short but are cut into countless pieces in the span of days.
    4-It feels empty, and the main characters have like 2 short events each.
    5-Related to all of the above, the game is like 80% filler in v023

    Short description:
    An overall average game, overbloated with sillyness and pointless side stories kidnapping production time, that will need 2 years of updates before I revisit it, which I will, but right now is not worth.

    I've played this game for three hours now and have loved it.

    The good:
    - Renders are terrific, and there are scenes that are def fappable
    - There is a ton of humor in this game which is always a plus
    - Looking forward to future releases of this
    - Character models are unique to any other games out there (if not lemme know)

    The meh:
    - Story so far...is okay. Just okay, and that's okay because again there's a lot of humor in here.
    - The clickable items are kind of a pain.
    - The hint system is good, but I'm still unsure what I'm supposed to do (but this is a game).

    End result: Is that enough to dock it a star? No, I have very high hopes for this one. Am I a patreon? Nope, but I will become a patreon after I'm sure that the dev sticks with this after a few more releases.

    Overall: Give this game a shot. Worst case scenario you're out two hours and a couple of faps that you would've spent elsewhere.

    This is a game I *should* like a lot. It has just about everything I like for a light hearted romp from sleep creep, hot fam, overarching story, mild humor that isnt too annoying, etc...

    So where does it go wrong?

    The sandbox. Oh god the sandbox.
    It looks and feels like places (people and things to click) were put out to be filled...
    And then were not.


    The world is a mess of clicking around to find random things, at specific times. To give a better feel, you have 90% clicking around for the 10% of content you find. Which is then repetitive mostly after you see it once.

    Which leads me to the grind. This feels like an odd time gated grind with excessive exploration of nothing.
    If the content were stripped from the UI and put into a linear kinetic novel, I could finish it in 5 to 10 minutes. That same amount of content took me about 1.5 hours of clicking around to find it.
    Yeesh.

    That said I love the content itself. Just ruined by the choice of delivery.
    And of course, the amount of content itself is rather sparse and blueballing.
