[v0.09]
I had to have not 1 but 2 walkthroughs open to play this game and the second walkthrough that's further along is more confusing to follow(but later after completing the current version I understand its like that because the game is a jumble mess as well with how the events unlocks). You 'grind'(more like slave) for bread slices of content that are either slightly altered or ONLY dialogues are change but its the same repeated scene. I swear that should be sin for these types of games. You shouldn't be allowed to only change dialogues or add 1-2 more things to an old scene and call that a new scene. Almost like pealing an apple very slowly. For every dozens of repeated scenes you unlock a small new layer of content to peal from the same apple and the worse part; its like this for most scenes in this game. When grinding for stats and bread slices isn't making you boil inside; the kinetic side shows up to tell you, you need to be this along with this person to move forward with this person. Lets not forget you need to do these things in order to do this thing. There was no reason why most scenes with each person had to be connected when there's no involvement outside of a handful of specific scenes. Did I mention the game is undercooked. More on that down below.
The School/Work/Photoshoots
Going to school in this game feels redundant. You go to school to attend a class or two with your mother(who's what an Homeroom?English? Science? Math teacher? lol) which gains you respect. Once the respect for her reaches 10; classes have now become pointless. Somewhere in between classes you fool around with your mother in her office via repeated scene. I say fool around but really you're just playing other known visual novels pron games with her as a way to corrupt. You masturbate in front of each other and I'm sure at some point the mother will give a HJ, then you will be able to masturbate each other, then you will be able to either eat her out or she will give a BJ, and eventually full on fuck each other in the office because that's how the dev has design this game[In hindsight I was right because later that's exactly what the dev did except combine fingering with eating out).The morning AND afternoon timeslot are used for repeated class and office renders/animations that doesn't always work or serve any purpose. Later on the younger sister goes through an election campaign and ofcourse that was stretched for a month and half. Something that should have been two weeks max because only two days of each week is what was used for the entire week progress. You'll find yourself skipping time a lot for events that has been pulled to that max(Things that should take a day/days takes month/month+)[Im sure for the slaving/milking.] When you manage to get through that the school is once again meaningless.
The mini games came out during the election but you'll wonder why there isn't more or why they weren't here from the beginning. There either should have been more time slots [Midday,LateMorning,LateNight] or more events able to be done in a timeslot. Like 2-3 things can be done in a time period. More classes with other teachers, dates, hangouts, photoshoots, deliveries, workingout,etc.(Ex: You use morning, late morning, midday, & afternoon for classes. Yes that means your Mother, Mrs.stone, Another teacher(that was already mention but the name escapes me), and a new teacher or your mother again). You keep seeing your mother in her office but now for midday since you can see your mother in her office at the moment without it affecting the timeslot. Make mini games in the form of test questions(5-10) for grades. History, Math, English/Art/Music can be questions while science can be a different mini game(Experiments) or P.E.(Athleticism). These could be weekly or daily for each class. Give ppl the option to automatically pass since I'm sure there will be those who don't want to do school work or even think. While afternoon and nights are for deliveries. If you have your mother for two classes then the second class could have been use for work. She already said she will cover for mc and daughter. Add more students to interact with at the school because at the moment it feels like mc has only acquaintances and no friends or lis he's interested in besides Megan that one time. All these locations: girls lockerroom, boysbathroom, hallway, girlsbathroom, and there's nothing to do in them for the most part. Side note: Teachers offices could have been a location for more content besides your mother.
[WIP(Workinprogress) I guess.]
Nitpicks(Maybe.MaybeNot.)
Repeated scenes with lis disappear once the election is over because the dev decided to locked them to certain events. So you can forget van vists to Diaz, or bathroom scenes with Megan.[Why not let us continue seeing Diaz but just remove the campaign talk/pollpayment to 'interest' exchange the lest; transactional the most. I mean she keeps saying hope you don't fall for me to mc but wouldn't it be funny she's the one whose falling for him.] Megan is now single or your girlfriend in waiting.[Who knows maybe its a wip thing and the bathroom scene will return with more now that its not about getting back at matt but her getting paid.] If you wanted to keep going to the country club pool with your mother(possibly with others) with different swimsuits; too bad. Wondering why you can't go to the park without your sister to get new content idk ask Dev.
[WIP I guess.]
Where does the lis go at certain times? They literally disappear and are unreachable at certain times. Forcing the player to only interact with them at your specified times. Why is the map so small? It makes the game feel very linear when you got nothing to do but 3 locations and you can only be at these locations at specific times. Beach, Mall,Gym, Access to the Club's Pool without it being a one time event, Access to the Park without being a multi repeated event with your older sister, Neighbors, other students and teachers houses/apartments would have made this come alive more.
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
I hope there's alot more items coming down the line for the online store since there's no mall. Clothes,Lingerie,Toys,Swimsuits,etc because at the moment the store seem to have been made for one time purchases of sleeping pills, photography equipment, spy cameras,& books. With Repeated purchases of alcohol,flowers,gift cards,& chocolates. I'm not going to mention cosplay items because the older sister is the delay mechanic for it.
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
Why isn't the cosplay site advertising & paying us on auto? Why do we have to click advertise each day, click pay at the end each week, and click pay for subs at the end of each month?
[WIP I guess.]
Why can't we view the comments/likes on the cosplay photos? Why does our mc not have a Instagram? I mean isn't his breakout business going to need that for recruiting/advertising and its a way to view the profile of others.(Ex: family and models) Was the dev planning to keep this to only the family but what about Megan? Family and Lis then?
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
Why is it hard (in this game) to convince someone who wanted to be a model but ended up as teacher a challenge to model for you? I dont even think you needed to even blackmail the older sister into modeling because what she wants most is money for college.
Im not knocking the cosplay shoots but you're telling me we couldn't convince her/everyone else to do normal shoots with regular outfits (eventually spicy stuff like swimsuits & lingerie)? You even have an excuse lined up; its all to keep everyone safe and sound from the mafia. Later on for others like new potential models there's no excuse needed.
Why is convincing this former stripper to do anything sexual like pulling teeth when we know they used to be a stripper, has taboo fetishes(more than just incest), & is sexually deprived? Even FBI Agent Diaz called it on who the mother was and still is; a whore and the rest of the family and cast is not too far behind. Everytime I look at the pacing for this game I just boil with how its 3-4x slower than other incest games and its on purpose as well.(More innocent & prudish women have fallen faster to corruption & depravity both in other games and in real life).
Why are we not interacting with other ppl in this game besides your family and a few others at times to push to plot forward? Teachers,The swim team, cheerleaders, sister friends, your friends(if this mc even have any lol),the casino girls, the strippers, neighbors?, Jessica?... you know, the more hotter ppl of the game.
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
Was our father truely successful? We live in a 3Bed 1Bath 1car garage No pool No MasterBathroom house. 1Car and its our mothers. Wheres our father car? Shouldn't it be at the Warehouse. Mc sharing a room with lauren growing up. Not all of them having their own rooms. Right... but how will the night activities scenes with sidney to get her to sleep in your room and later to the shoot work then? By it not being a thing. That whole making sidney 'sleep moleste' ppl was completely unnecessary. You already drugging the family to do things to them in their sleep. It was stated Sidney wanted to go back to college but couldnt without the fund. What more was needed. Between whispering in her ears and paying her you're set. I also would argue having her sleep in your room made it that NOONE can sleep in your room. So a ton of missed night scenes between the family members/lis(megan & whoever else) and mc.
The StripClub/Casino. Im not going to talk about how small the casino club looks for a mafia family that essentially owns the city or the lack of strippers on the floor & in the vip section. Or the lack of interactions with ppl besides Diaz,Armani,Older Sister,Candy,Scarlett(lol), & Vip Section Hostgirl. You made an mc that have inhuman endurance but we are only allowed one scene in the vip section regardless of money and then made a rule for one time daily visit 'to make it fair for other vips.'(Really milking mechanic). Then shouldnt you have idk private rooms in this club along side the vip section itself. The VIP Section is vanilla and a glorified private room. The strippers talk about all the crazy stuff you can do in there and that you can bring anyone in there and because of how high you are in the 'royal family'; you own the section and don't have to share with anyone,but must make way for the occasional 'Aces' that appear. However, whats then shown is private room stuff. So as it stands the vip section is redundant at the moment. The amount of content and ntr content that can from this with these aces,other royal family members,joey himself, Armani, DeCapo family...
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
Not every scene is in the gallery. Why? You cant rewind in the gallery. Again why? You would think it would be there because you still have to make choices in the gallery. It should be there regardless. Since you decided to make a whole lot of repeated scenes why choose only one-few pieces of that scene for the gallery? Why not put them all in there from start to finish.(Ex: Mothers towel in bedroom scene. Classroom dream riding scene. All the younger sister fucking locations. Mandy scenes. Matt Scenes. Principal scenes, Strip scenes, Mc Calms down Jacky because of Cami night scene, etc)
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot.]
Animations. Can we get more angles and positions please. PLEASE. Two twerking animations and the second one was cut off. Candy twerking made me want to know what the other strippers would look like doing it. Jacky doing it was unexpected but definitely a deliberate tease. You have all other animations on loop but not for that one. Just why. Also why are the twerks not in the gallery.
[The Animations are the real reason why ppl are brown nosing.]
Mc is a 19 year old that looks like 15-16 year old (that acts like 12-14 year old). One of the waitresses on a date & his mother even says it. Its not his appearance that annoys me but more of how the dev design the game to waste time. You'll find yourself questioning mc's age continuously when weeks was wasted because of his maturity(ex: mc running away after hugging his mother with a hardon. You really expect us to believe the guy who's trying to nail his family is acting like this) but really its the dev plot mechanic to stall.
Mc missed a whole year of school because of mono. Dev do you not know that's impossible. I know you need an excuse to make mc in the same grade/class room with his sister but cmon. It sounds as ridiculous as the rule of not firing a teacher for sexual photos by herself & even worse with a student. Along with the idea family venture cosplay shoots will just blow up off of 1-2 family shoots.
Mc can only get Jacky off with mouth or anal. Only one time with vagina at that was their first fuck, but Joey can in every position and pretty much any hole.
Im half joking with the wip maybes & maybes not because theres a higher chance nothing changes and this game will either abandon or quick complete. Just depends on what's motivating WillTylor. Im typing this review because my irritation has exceeded my interest. I had like two moments were I felt like droping it and moving on but I proceeded forward anyway and now asking myself if it was worth it.
The LIs/The Plot/Closing Thoughts
I WISH for Devs to stop one sidely making one body type. If its not young looking girls then its bimbos or unrealistic supermodel bodies. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we all want VARIETY. We also want the FREEDOM to choose who we want as well. Is it too much to do young girls,young women,milfs,bimbos,older women,cougers/gilfs with varying bodies. The girls reminds of Horton Bay Stories in a way. Even though that story has less attractive lis and although there's a huge cast of young girls; there's also more than just them and the sandbox is done much better there. Here's a list of other games for you Dev to checkout: The Hardway, A struggle with sin, Simple days, Brothel megacorporation, The Roommate, The Headmaster, Lunars Chosen... all doing sandbox better than your game. What am I saying even the games you put in here; Man of the house & Milf City was doing it better and they're less kinetic so what happen?
[WIP I guess.Maybe.Maybenot]
This game is a ntr kinetic story masking itself as a sandbox. A poorly design sandbox. Sandbox does not mean timewasting pointless grind for milking but freedom of choice while grinding towards greatness Dev. Your game has failed when ppl have to use walkthroughs & cheat system to even stomach it. I have somewhere between 12-17hrs [later it doubled] for this game and still haven't had sex with anyone. Just ridiculous. You have to spend one month paying to keep your mother off the pole just so she generously give you a simple HJ as a reward and another month to receive a BJ meanwhile ppl like Joey can have his way with her with a lap dance after she already made the funds for the night. Matt can also after what 2 encounters. Weeks corrupting your little sister for HJ,BJ,Fingering but FBI Agent from first encounter can just take it which really makes no sense. Weeks corrupting/manipulating older sister but retired old vet in the park can just take it after a few visits. I would not be surprise if at some point there's someone trying to ntr each of the lis and can successfully do it at that while you had to slave away for it[In hindsight I was right. Its just only four ppl doing all the ntring]. Respect & affection does nothing for the story when libido, submission, anger, and later sexual frustration control everything.
Lets look at the plot. Diaz had no leverage over mc in the beginning to get Lauren. All she can get out of him was money to keep her silence on the side business from the fbi,more for the secret cameras on his family, and even more later for the election polls. Her power to get with mc's family comes in when mc actually start messing around with the family in the house in front of the cameras. Matt way into mc's family is through lauren and only by winning the election. The only other way was maybe mandy but I don't think so because she's too into the family. Being with Jacky comes from pressuring her down in secret after discovering mc & jacky in the office. Using the shoot(or even shoots) could be use as a way to build sexual tension between them (demanding to be either in her shoots or in the background at first while she models for mc. All the while doing office visits and later secret dates/meet ups. The principal is straight forward blackmailing with the stripclub,offices,and later hotels. Joey method is wearing down with desperation & corruption and its further enhanced when Cami comes into play later.
Im not one of these ppl calling for a disable ntr content when the game has a netorare tag lol(Those ppl will always be funny to me). Netorare brings a welcome different kind of drama for these games...when done correctly. Here the ntr feels poorly done along side the sandbox. Matt blackmailing your mom into a shoot on Mc's set can be a thing but it shouldnt have been THE thing to get your mother into cosplay shooting. Not only that but Matt was just thrown into the Megan&Jacky's shoot. His blackmailing shoot should have been different entirely and probably should have happen after the election so he's not with Megan but is still trying to get mc love ones. The Younger sister putting her 'virginity' on the table should she lose the election,the principal holding jacky's job over her head, and cami going into massive debt were the only ntr plots that made sense. I almost losted it when the older sister took the money in order to find out where the club is located. If the ntr event path with joey was activated because of that I would have thrown the game away right there. Forced Ntr is not for me and never will be. Its why within the first few hrs I stopped, downloaded the multimod,urm,and pulled up the walkthroughs, and started over. Unlocking the gallery with multimod and noticing you do fuck almost all of the lis with the current version towards the end motivated me to push further. I thought just for shits and giggles lets see how long it takes to get there in game time/real world time. I was not surprise that it took a few more months, doubled the hrs and regret not just viewing the gallery and closing the game.
The clubs pool event: Why would I want my mother to be anywhere near Matt after he tries to coerce me into sharing her. Not some NTRLite nonsense shortly after with mc acting like him and matt are bros with laurens friend around(Also Matt & her could have had a scene with Mc telling Matt to fuck off again after).(Sidenote: In fact a future club pool ntr scene could be use of Matt inviting Jacky there). Joey asking for a private dance is fine but that is something that should have come after a good couple of strips or the circumstances. Not immediately as the second. I find it funny how it don't matter what you made for the week if its not 1k its not taken and the mom will strip for the whole 1k. I feel like depending on how much you owed, corruption?[should corruption have been stat?] and how horny/sexually frustrated your mother is should determine what's happening at the club. If its not much she's just a server (ofc with ntrlite stuff because theres obviously things happening with your sister but not shown). If the amount is more than half than she's stripping. If its everything then comes in Joey with mindgames(proposition offers), private shows,etc. Every single time shes on the pole should have been different outfits and new dances. Hell even the red outfit she leaves in could have been one them. INSTEAD its more repeated teacher outfit for weeks. Oh Joey wants a private show in new bunny outfit. Back to school outfit for weeks.
Date with your mom. If I'm on the loyal path for her; then Joey & Armani or Matt & His friends shouldn't have even been a thing. They ruin the dates for me by just showing up even though nothing happen. If Joey has been escalating his approaches with Jacky(content that could have been there but its not there) then the ntr version of that date is fine. You're telling me content involving Joey inviting Jacky out alone couldn't have been made. A separate different date with Matt & Jacky alone would have been WELCOMED. Instead, we got scene interruptions by both of them using no effort to make mc look like a fool and jacky a whore. The Principal is the one who can be the most aggressive out of all the enforcers here(Ofc Joey can but Dev has him choosing the come to me play). Jacky is not leaving her job and this would have been before she went all the way with Joey. Just basically more overall content from the ntr side of this game to flesh out the corruption & more on the general loyal harem side. Like a solo matt & jacky ntr route, Matt(NTRharem)route, joey/principal with Jacky/Cami route, Diaz(harem)route, Mc(Harem/Netori) route. INSTEAD whats here is halfass mindnumbing Mc(Harem) with a sidedish of ntrlite annoyances, or fastpacing(forced ntrfamily) and MC is stuck trying to get crumbs while being made a fool at every turn. It really wants to be ForcedNTR but pretends for the other side and ends up failing on both fronts because of lazyness.
I see ppl in the reviews have high hope for the pregnancy system that's later coming but I'll say this now. If there's not some major changes or reworks; I wont hold my breath. I mean what do ppl think is going to happen. Mc is going to just start having children when he rides a moped, his entire household share rooms, and if you didn't cheat most of his money is going towards Joey & Diaz. Your father is in prison and Bobby is gone and you the mc didn't even take over their business and thanks to Camille your family debt has doubled. Whatever that number is since its only confirmed to be much higher than 20k. You the Mc don't even take your photoshoots serious enough and only doing as a means to get by each week. You are not the man of the house. You are just playing it.
