Ren'Py - A Family Venture [v0.09 V1 Beta] [WillTylor]

Corruption progress is too slow and the process too repetitive. I don't know what the content level of the game is, but even after 4 hours of gameplay I still haven't had sex. The game tells me that there is still a lot of grinding to be done with family members. I could understand if there were different requirements for each character, but you do pretty much the same things with all of them. The money you earn doesn't match the expenses and you have to buy at least three cameras, which cost around 3000 dollars in the game, but you earn about 200-300 dollars a day on average from your job and you also have to pay the mafia that comes to your house. Although you can follow the progress on your phone, it is not very clear what needs to be done to trigger some events. You have to keep track of too many vague things in terms of days and times and the main character has almost no reason to go to school. Some of the stats you can upgrade with your characters are unnecessary. For example, respect or affection. If you want to see the game's already adult content, you don't even need to spend time with these. So far the adult scenes were very repetitive and boring. Apart from the main character's older sister, there is no one really attractive in the game. I didn't find her mom and her younger sister very attractive and I'm not sure if they are worth the effort. The only thing I'm curious about is the pregnancy system and if I continue I'll do it for that, but frankly I think it's a very overrated game.

It is one of the best examples of its kind, it is definitely a production that everyone should try, there is a lot of content and it continues to be added constantly, original models are used instead of copy models seen in every game. I also like the balance between NTR(Not Required) and Loyalty route in this game, it makes things more interesting and exciting. But I should also add that the game is not difficult, if you are an 80-year-old who cannot do anything other than pressing the "space" button in games, there is nothing you can do, this game is not for you.

The best game I’ve played this year! I had been looking for something to replace certain games I’ve played, and I was getting desperate, then suddenly, I stumbled upon this one by chance. What a find! I love the characters, each girl, the gradual progression in the relationships. It’s cheeky but you’re still curious to play through it even though the game isn’t finished. A pleasant surprise. The sandbox element is just how I like it, letting us choose the order in which we want to progress and do things, while still giving the option to revisit them. Honestly, it’s flawless for me. What more could you ask for? A story? Yes, it’s true that in terms of atmosphere and storyline, it’s not top-notch. It’s just efficient. But the characters are well-written because they’re easy to identify with. As for game length, it’s well balanced. I’m having a hard time finding any other flaws. Great game!

This is a very good game that has stayed interesting over the years. More and more content would be great so please provide more so we can continue to play. More content with the Aunt would be great but any is also good.

Just an other example of a great game that focuses on nurturing relationship and fun stories rather than dumb fetishes projected in unreasonable setups which is rare these days. So best of luck to the dev.

This junk pile of code and CGs takes all principles of game design and throws them out of the window. To call it a "game" in the first place would be an undeserved flattery, what it actually is - is insanity simulator, as you will be repeating the same mundane actions over and over again hundreds of times, hoping for content that never comes. Cannot even rate the story, smut or characters, as I just couldn't bring myself to grind through this mess any further.

I mean, this kind of sucks. It is quite hard to say that any of the girls in this game look good at all. The mother is an absolutely horrifying creature to look at. Add in that the focus of this game is for some reason being a pimp and a fucking pervert for all the members of your family (who you loan out to various criminals to molest, which is hand waved by adding thought narration to let all the girls think its the hottest thing ever to be sold for money to random criminals).

This game is weird as fuck in its core gameplay loop too. Pretty standard sandbox fare, segments to the day with events only occurring at set times. Eat breakfast, go to school, work, watch TV is what you will be grinding for perhaps 2 hours of your real life without this game's built in cheat engine. The hscenes in this game roll based off stat checks, mainly libido and submission, and I think they were trying to have some sort of natural progression in these scenes, but they're quite strange in progression depending on characters. For instance the mother has the son grinding on her, perving on her while she strips for criminals (after he sends her out for it), masturbate together at school, gives "relief" in the bathroom if he doesn't send her out to strip, and so on.

Another progression is the mc "drugging" all the women of the house with melatonin and placing his oldest sisters hands down the pants of everybody else in the house. He does this enough times that she starts jacking him in bed while he sleeps, and this escalates to an immediate 69 and facefucking. What? I'll admit that she's my favorite one but seriously. She goes on to steal the mc's money so that she can go work at the casino where their mother strips. She then jacks off the mc in public onto a wall (wtf) while they watch their mother strip. Weird as fuck forced ntr is a focus of this game so look out. It's not exactly hidden what you're signing up for but it gets forced down your throat so can't say I didn't warn you.

Overall only 2 of the interests look like they don't belong in a zoo, forced ntr and ntr lite sucks in any game where that's not on the tin, and one of the few interesting ideas is the inclusion of "libido" to try and simulate the current interest in hscenese at that exact moment is interesting, in a game as grindy as this one, it can be quite annoying to get in the way of the almost impossible to find scenes. This game which is already pretty not great would be one of the worst games I've played if it did not include a cheat menu, and have a pretty extensive walkthrough on this site.

i Loved the way the creators core loop which many creator doesnt aware when ıts about adult games. İf you reach your desire and if it gets usual, than no more fun in it (im not even talking about the getting desire very sooner, thats trash when the all female is hungry for the mc's cock) so i like whatever happens with jacky, she always refuses happens again so loops stars all over. But you cant remain this loop for so long and im curious how the creator will overcame by which plot. Loved the game. İ rarely said "i wish i could change this" i just talked so much sorryxd. İm sick of games with trash plots so whenever i see a good game, i love to talk about it and i wish to see other creators to use thair brains when ıts about plotting... Whatever. Loved the game...

there's lots of content, but the UI is so poorly done that you will find yourself running in circles. this is the type of game where you're gonna be spending ALOT of time holding ctrl over repeated scenes, trying to progress a character. this is such an issue in this game that at points you'll feel like you've softlocked yourself out of progression.

It's like a low budget Big Brother

Graphics: 4/5
Models: 4/5 (in love with Sidney)
Scenes: 5/5
Story: 5/5
Gameplay: 3/5

The characters are well developed, each with an interesting story. Maybe the mechanics are a little repetitive, but in the end you will be rewarded.
Definitely one of my favourites.

Unfortunately, incredibly obtuse and repetitive. It is the worst kind of grind. You need to grind for stats without knowing exactly what awards them. Then you need to be at a specific place and time to advance an event a bit. Then you need to grind again... etc. The payoff is almost always underwhelming.

It's incredibly unfun to "play" this.

It would be an impossible task to manage to describe just how repetitive this game is, but I'll try.
In movies when they describe events that occur often but is still relevant to the story they do an introduction of the protagonist doing the things then repeat them a few times and perhaps adding "a few weeks later"
This game however does neither of those things.

I followed the walkthrough like a slave, one event refuse to trigger!
I spent a few hours on it as of now and the only reason to why I downloaded it in the first place was to see if it actually contained some pregnancy, but I can't muster! Even the walkthrough at week six start to spam "MC bed, memes (advance time)" Unfortunately it's the most boring game I ever played on here for a great while and I can't understand the high ratings of the game at all!

The writing is alright enough and the renders are pretty good, but it suffers from the usual sandbox game hang ups. I hate clicking around a map and I hate having to think overly much about relationship points or what time of day it is. Like I keep saying it's all just pointless busywork.

It's a shame because I generally like what I've seen here and if you don't share my general distaste for sandbox style games this is probably worth a gander, but it just ain't my cup o' tea.

Story 1/5
Man i found this boring as fuck, story dident do much for me and couldent even care less about the NTR stuff it was just boring.
Im so tierd of kinetic novels hiding behind a sandbox trying to not show off as being kinetic, then game constantly forces you to follow the kinetic set storyline where girls are forced on you and your forced to watch all kind of shit with the mother which i found so extremly ugly that it became a constant turn-off and barely even playable.

Sandbox is also just a grind and there to waste more of your time clicking around, quests are tied together so you cant really skip anything or you wont progress which leaves 0 freedom and 0 choices when it comes to who you fuck.
Its also very repetitive where you just do the same shit over and over, i just dont find that fun what so ever.

MC also pushes for alot of lesbian shit that i dont really care about either so it just keeps lowering the value of the game, even more so since you dont have any choices in anything that goes on.

As for virgins, its very shitty they are all using dildos so you can forget about any kind of deflowering which makes for very boring virgin scenes which are just like any other standard scene, this is an adult novel so to me its a big flaw when a creator dosent allow for the hymen since its the only thing that can ever prove that the girl has never had sex with anyone, even a 2$ prostitute working for years can claim to be a virgin and you will never be able to tell, since no one not even a doc can tell if someone is a virgin or not when hymen is gone.

As for the NTR i found it lacking as well, same for relationship build-ups, just dident find anything fun or even remotely interresting.

Girls 1/5
Dident like the mother or the youngest sister, the older sister was ok but its just not enough.

Animations 2/5
Alot arent even animations.....its picture to picture shit and has nothing to do with being animated and those scenes that are animated arent that good either and pretty short on top of that.


Choices 1/5
Alot of shit is just forced on you since you cant skip quests, pretty much a mindless fuckfest game just very very drawn out due to grinds and sandbox.

Sandbox 1/5
Boring, repetitive, grind, shitload of clicking, kinetic questlines that you cant skip, you get get the idea, shitty hint system that tells you what your supposed to do but then when you do it nothing happens so your left with guessing as to what quest you need to do before you can progress the one you wanted to do.

Content 1/5
Considering this is more then 5 years old and it still barely has any sex scenes, like 1 with youngest sister, 5 with older, 1 with mother, 0 with aunt, 0 with mandy, its really not much is it.

Boring story.
Super grindy/repetitive

Get up, eat breakfast, goto school part of the day, make deliveries on your moped, eat supper. Wash/Rinse/Repeat
I've been playing an hour or so and that's all there is....mostly....
After you get home from deliveries, there is only 1 time slot to do anything.....

Terrible user interface
Badly written characters
Very dated graphics, though the females are pretty.
No choices...for the most part.

I think you can disable ntr but it doesn't matter as it's not really avoidable no matter what.

There haven't been too terribly many content updates given that it was released about 5 1/2 years ago.

I realize there is some more content but I'm not big on sharing my Li's in a story so didn't see the ntr content other than what little bit that was forced.

I have been playing since the first drop. I must say each update the game gets better and the quality has increased ten fold. I absolutely love it. I could do without the NTR but it don't hurt cause it can be avoided easily.

I'm not attracted to weird looking lolis sisters/cousins and skinny assed moms/aunts and neither do I find the images to be fappable. I like the story it is worth 2 stars just for the that because it has slow corruption, blackmail, debt and NTR which make a good combination but otherwise I find the gameplay grindy and extremely boring, even the NTR is boring and that says a lot about this game. Sandbox is even worse with just 4/5 locations but this game does not need to be sandbox, it makes no difference. The animation is passable, a lot of 2 second clips on loop but some pretty good ones too. At 5 years and still going, it's a VN that I'm striking off my list, never gonna bother downloading this again.

I quite like this one. The character models are ''different' in a nice way. There's a bit of a story to explain away the various interactions. You can quite easily avoid a lot of the sort of content that you don't want to see but it appears to be too easy to inadvertently 'avoid' the things you are interested in as well.

I knocked it down to 4 stars because it's a sandbox and, like all sandboxes before it and most probably all those to come, most of the time you have no clue what the heck you're supposed to be doing in order to advance. Even with the help of the hints, cheats, etc. you go round in circles doing the same thing over and over hoping that this time it'll be different.

There's something wrong with the progression, the mother is happy to give him handjobs and even blowjobs some days but won't talk to him at school or at home on others. It's all a bit strange and sometimes quite frustrating, but still fun to play.

Story: ★★★★
Dialogue: ★★★★
3D Models: ★★★★★
Sex scenes: ★★★★★

Additional comment: Some of the dialogue is hilarious,
sex scenes animated and very realistic. Casino is a nice way to
make some quick money, would have liked to have seen the slot
machines in the background be playable like the Roulette
and Black Jack tables. The sandbox element is also nice.
