    This is a great game with awesome characters, all of the family is great, I'm particularly fond of the sisters, Lauren and Sidney. There is a lot of content already and many fun events, the humor in the game is great, and theres some choices to be made too.

    A minus for me is the grinding and repetitiveness but not as bad as many of the other similar "free-clicking" games, it could've been a little less even if I understand its a game-mechanic.

    Great game that I currently rate at 8,5/10.

    Edited: I feel the game has gone downhill, more grind, less focus on the story and the people already there, it mostly feels like a repeat of the earliest events in the game, just "more" of the same thing, 6,5/10 will be my rating for now.

    This game is great. It has easy to follow controls, as well as an uncomplicated yet well thought out story and dialog. The renderings are top notch... and the animation are sewn in flawlessly. A beautiful game, with beautiful models that definitely raises the bar of what we typically expect. For me, this game has become an instant favorite.

    Good stuff
    Filled with small bugs, models are alright (kinda weird sometimes), the music is awfully repetitive, the grind is insane... but still, good stuff
    Yet another messed up MC who plays inocent and molest the girls he lives with, to their mutual benefit (of course) - corruption, affection, some lite abuse, and a Jordi cock that never fails to spring some incestual love
    If you're into games with that formula, you won't be disappointed

    This starts out so good, but then descends into the apparently inevitable grind fest, like so many games of this type. The Dev even repeatedly mentions similar games, as if this was a badge of honor.
    Too little content, stretched over too much game play. A lot of teasing, and too little delivered.
    "Maybe in the next update" is mostly what you get after a while. I gave up on it. Too bad. I was really intrigued by this game at first.

    But, since it's only v0.03 - I'd say that in about 10 or 15 years we'll get our payoff! :)

    I would really like to give this game a higher rating but the grind is just too excessive. Over and over and over and over and over, you must repeat the same continuous scene before moving forward to another task. I actually love the premise and the writing actually isn't all that bad. I had extremely high hopes for this game when it first came out but if a player has to continuously grind through the same scenes, they are only going to become frustrated. I sincerely hope the developer heeds the advice of the players who have taken the time to review his game. There is no doubt the developer has skills, I just think the story needs to be sped up. o_Oo_Oo_O

    The game shows some quality in it. Only bad thing I could find is that guidance as to what you should follow / do was some times not there. The search feature in the computer was a bit weird on how to work.

    Renders are solid and the writing is good.
    Lots of references to other incest games which I enjoyed.

    Very much in the spirit of Big Brother. If you like that game you'll like this one.

    While there is NTR if you like that sort of thing it's set up as a something to avoid.
    If you manage your money well you can pay off the mob each week so the MC's mom dosn't have to dance at the club. If you do this, she's grateful to you for showing you can be the man of the house. Where as if you are just buying gifts or random things all the time you'll come up short come end of week and she gets pissed off at you for letting her down.

    You can play it both ways.

    Looking forward to future content.

    renders 3/5 - renders are decent enough that get the job done. the scenes are not properly lit in most cases and are of below average quality. still, it's acceptable and I won't hold it against the game that much.

    story 3/5 - it's blackmail ntr/cuckold content, the most unoriginal ntr & cuckold content you can think of. we've all seen it before so don't expect anything new.

    characters 3/5 - the male antagonist (evil character) looks like a chumpy kid, not really the kind of person who could cuck anyone. still, it's okay. the ntr and cuck content in the game is pretty average but worth experiencing. the little sister looks too young and i avoided her at all cost. the mom's face doesn't look that great, she could be more attractive.

    verdict
    if you like ntr & cuck content then the game is worth playing and it's even worth giving him $5.00 a month, but I've seen much better ntr and cuck content in comics & stories.

    The game is a bit too grindy but tolerable.

    Definitely try it out, it's worth playing and has it's moments.

    I've enjoyed this game so far and think it has a lot of potential.

    The Good:
    --Pretty renders. The mom actually looks like a MILF. In most games, the mom tends to look 20 years younger. Rare that you have a render that looks like a hot MILF. Sisters are also pretty in different ways. Nice body type variety.
    --the humor. There's a lot of excellent self-referential humor
    --the set-up works and the writer uses self-deprecating humor to deflect concerns about unrealistic set-ups. Very meta and I love it.

    The Bad
    --Some of the NTR is very cliche. I'm on board with the mob implied NTR, but it's very cliche to have the only black classmate be the NTR content at school.
    --I'd prefer a different means of hypnosis than currently used, tho I'll admit it's hilarious in its own way. Can you imagine actually whispering the same subliminal message to anyone for 10 minutes, lol?

    Though some content seems silly or cliched, none of it destroys my enjoyment of the game. I'll avoid the cliche NTR content and follow the mob-related NTR content depending on how I want to play it. A strong 4.5 stars. I rounded down to 4 stars b/c there are some things that need to be fixed and rooms that need to be updated with actual content. It's also early in development. Looking forward to the Devs updates in the future. I also think the Dev's incest content solution is brilliant.

    This game is average sadly.
    I liked the premise, the story, the background of the characters and the writing is well enough.
    But my main gripe is that the game gets grindy quite fast. Soon you will find yourself clicking every location again and again, clicking through repeated dialog, again and again, because you might have missed a trigger for a next scene somewhere...this is not enjoyable! It is a shame because it had potential but threw it all away to become something of a sandbox game.
    Edit: It has gotten even worse with the latest update (v0.04c) Now you even need to grind out stats for characters to have really minor increments in sexy content to unlock and doing so requires you to go through weeks/months of in game time, repeating the most boring, grinding tasks for nothing. Taking another star off for that shit.

    I'm a bit of a lurker here - been commenting more and trying to be an active constructive member of the community. :) That said, I thought this would be a great opportunity to review a game in it's early stages.

    First, I love the humor. There are comments that if you aren't actually paying attention might seem out of place; I suggest players take their time and read the dialogues.

    Second, while I understand the preference for one body type or another is personal and based in what we, as individual players like (or don't like), I am pleased to see female characters with more reasonable proportions (there are several other games that come to mind: Big Brother, Long Live the Princess, etc.) Nothing against those that prefer breasts the size of blimps and asses like asteroids, I prefer my females on the average side (at least where proportions are concerned).

    Third, taking into account my previous comment about proportions, the MC's dick is a bit over done. :oops: I will say, however, I am fine with that considering, as the creator pointed out, it is a porn game and he prefers a more porn-like appearance to some of the renders and story. Kudos! Stick to your guns.

    Fourth, NTR, no NTR, don't care - meh. Never really had enough vested in make-believe characters in a visual novel or game to make me actually give a shit whether there was NTR or not - as long as there was nudity, sex and attractive characters, what does it matter? It's not my wife/girlfriend so go ahead, take my mom/sister/cousin/niece and have fun (as long as I can watch ;) )

    Finally, I feel as this storyline might be a bit cliche, so I think to myself, "self, why is cliche bad?" In this case it works because of the humor and writing in the game.

    ADD: The renders are good, the layout is intuitive...although it could do a bit better with hints and walk-through.

    Excellent writing
    Perfect models (especially the Milf, how hard is that? apparently VERY so great job)
    Decent Content for first version and enough to set up a good bit of how the game will (may) progress
    Only allusion to NTR (so far) is clearly stated and optional (yes please)

    Is a bit of a grind but I have no problem with that as long as the content stays great
    An hourglass option to skip time would be preferable to going to room to whack it everytime although hopefully less need to skip time as the game develops
    Biggest (and really only) complaint so far is DAMN it's only version 1, great start hope ya keep it up

    Dev seems invested and open to opinions so 5 stars

    Overall rating: 8/10 (for a new dev)

    - promising game
    - pretty well written and immersive
    - knows its genre well and delivers
    - honest, humble dev
    - agree with some comments that the milf's body could be optimized to fit the genre better

    Will be keeping an eye on this one.

    Looks promising.

    Good plot, check. Good characters models, check ("mother" looks like an actual milf, I am very impressed that creator was able to add age without making it look bad or too youngish). Sandbox mode, check. Current build is missing some proper H scenes, but I suppose that will be added with time.

    Definitely gonna be checking this out.

    Its early on but not bad in terms of amount of content for first relase. Based on first release however this game shows great promise. Although its somewhat similar to the incest genre games on this site this has much more realistic body proportions. The sisters have amazing bodies and the mom is not your usual balloon tit mom from a majority of games. The sisters are the true gems of this game and hopefully are the cornerstone to future content. Models are great, I enjoy the "free roam" feel that you can travel around yourself to find events. Looking forward to future updates to fill that traveling with many more options.

    Everything is pretty good. Writing could use some work but for the most part, it's alright. But my impression of it might be slightly biased against it since I'm not a fan of the whole grind through days to get stuff done.

    Another game that has the potential to be great... but repetitive, time consuming sandbox elements made it hard for me to enjoy. Now I have heard that the dev took a lot of steps to correct this so I've increased my rating... but be warned: I recall a lot of very grindy day-to-day stat building exercises which left me disappointed.

    The story isn't bad, the girls are very cute, and the renders are nice, which is definitely a positive. The developer also seems open to feedback and criticism which is also nice!

    Overall, I really wanted to like this game and tried my best to get through the grindy elements, but in the end the pros did not outweigh the cons.

    A fair bit of content for a first release, and I love the models and the scenario. I'll admit that the writing could do with a bit of polish, and the realism..., well, what do you expect?
    But good, and fun!

    The storyline is pretty standard, but the writing is amazing, practically comedic gold. The characters look a bit... shota... so I dunno about that.

    What sells this to me is the "game director" and what I mean by that, is the camera angles and how the story is played out.

    I suggest everyone to give this a shot, because trust me, this is way better than most adult games out there.

    This game has great potential. The character models are great, dialog is good, renders are solid, animations are nice, it has music... hopefully the mc will stop being such a pussy and give in to his urges at some point. some things are still pointless but I imagine they will have a function later. I like the direction this is going and will keep an eye out for it in the future.
