VN - Ren'Py - A Mother's Love [Part 1-13 Plus] [OrbOrigin]

I really like this game. Renders are good; the mother character is fantastic looking. I love the aggressiveness of the MC and the submissiveness of the mother. There is quite a bit of content too, which is always nice.

A Mother's Love follows the story of a player-named high school lad in his senior year of high school. He falls in love with his girlfriend's mother, Nicole, and gets himself wrapped up in the usual fine mess.

Plot-
I would have thought I'd come across a seducing your GF's mom centered plot by now, but this is the first and it works well. The pacing works at times, but sometimes the story veers off the road. I like that you build your way up to penetration scenes with the mom.

Writing-
Strangely, it almost feels like the writer's skills diminish as the story goes along. I think the developer is not a native English speaker, the writing often reminds me of Korean culture for some reason. I highly recommend that they hire an editor to polish the text since there are tons of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that took me out of immersion. The dialogue ranges from ok to awful. It gets worse as the game goes on. There are times when I just couldn't take the dialogue and descriptives anymore and just plowed through scenes.

Visuals-
The CGs are low mid-tier and inconsistent. Sometimes the medium shot CGs look really decent, and then you get close ups that look like they're from Shenmue. One particularly gruesome CG sequence was during a flashback to Nicole's lingerie photo shoot. Her partner in that photo shoot was just on another level of awful. Also, the MC's penis looks like a smooth dildo.

On the flipside, the main heroine, Nicole, is delightful. It would have been nice to see some wrinkles or light sagging. The other female characters are more or less unremarkable.

Sex Scenes:
The sex scenes are "meh". They're too short, and the animations are atrocious. It would be better to just take them out of the game. For me, a huge part of the eroticism of these types of games depend on the dialogue before, during, and after sex. The dialogue during sex is depressing in its mediocrity, but sometimes it works. I feel like there are too many sex scenes, and the developer could have saved time and consolidated the sex scenes.

The posing and the facial expressions during sex are boring, except for a nice sequence when you bang the mom in your room and the models progress in different poses on the same still. Very nice touch there.

The MC's penis looks like a pink smooth dildo. I like my MC's to have huge dongs for the most part. In this case, you do have a nice package, and it's not comically oversized.

You are given the option in most scenes to finish inside/outside.

Overall, A Mother's Love is an average experience. This game could only give me a semi-boner and I had to switch over to video porn because I couldn't finish. I haven't finished yet, but will do so and update.

Im conflicted with this one. At it´s core, its an amazing domination game with a truly awesome central character.
But...
There´s a lot going the wrong way. OMG the grammar! English is not my first language and still it really hurts to read! CAM much? Side characters are just bad. Take Chole, while the character itself is ok, the story with her doesnt work since sometimes she seems to be on to something and the next day she´s in love with the MC again. Hate the "friend" from school, can´t figure out why she´s here, at least shes not psychic anymore (i hope).
There´s also some sort of asian vibe i get from the story. Women feal like they´re mindset is from the 60´s. I get that a lot in korean and japanese tv.

Honestly i though this was gonna be an incest game, DUH, but it´s not!
In the end of the day your moments with Nicole are insane and it totaly elevates this game from mediocrity to a must play!

It's a very good game overall:
- the heroine is particularly beautiful;
- the scenes are very well chosen and the way corruption takes place is well done;
- the game is rich in content

It really is a great game for the genre. The story is really well done and has some form of credibility.


you have to try it

Pros:

Story is insanely good, it keeps you wanting more and more

Beautiful character

No grind

Your choices actually changes how the story plays out, at least in terms of content and dialogues which is a big plus

Cons:

This is more of a subjective opinion but i really wished that the corruption/seduction progress was slower and played out even longer i can imagine how erotic that will be.

Your girlfriend's mother doesn't like you - doesn't appreciate you for anything. Most of all, she wants you to leave her daughter because you're in the way of her education. Little did she know, you have an affection for the mother and as she grows desperate to get rid of you, You both settle down of an agreement. An agreement that could change your whole relationship.
The characters are well defined and likable. Though how the protagonist wears down the mother may be a bit far fetched, it is understandable due to game time play. If he didn't get to "it" soon enough we readers would loose interest. I found some emotional attachment to each character he interacted with. I like the way the social stigmas are infused into the story, very real, making the character interactions believable. Looking forward to the next installment.

Plusses of the game:

-The game has a solid storyline. Most of these games tend to go from point A to point B, meaning you usually have a priestess or some other virtuous character that becomes the ultimate whore overnight because of #bickdick#shotadick#dilfdick etc.., but with this game the story line makes at least mostly sense.
-The renders are good.
-Your choices seem to influence the outcomes (I have played the game just once).

The bad:

-The worst aspect of the game, by far, is the level of English. The language is, at times, about as good as machine translated games, which kind of ruins it for me. The developer tries to use sophisticated English in a lot of the interactions but when the expressions are just wrong it kind of ruins it for me. The grammar in general is also very bad and as I'm not a native speaker,, I do forgive a lot myself. But it does grind my gears when pretty much every single sentence has multiple mistakes in grammar and when I have to read every single sentence two times to try and figure out what the developer wanted to say.

Overall, the game itself is solid, but it would benefit immensely if there was a native speaker or someone who knows the English grammar and phrases in the team/proofreading.

compelling story, some nice fetishes you don't see very often. quite nice Animations. what do you want more? First time I only ctrl through to see what is there, but now that i played two different runs i have to say there are some nice choices to make.

So far it's a great game. Good characters and story. Also i like the way the creator makes every choice counts for the story progression i'm just not happy for not being possible to break with Chloe without it turning the story into a netorare (if it is possible, i would like to know how). Also i like a lot of the netori the creator develop with Nicole (that is the best woman so far, followed by Marilyn, IMO).

Overall, i'ts worths a lot playing the game, it has a lot of hot sex scenes, i'm just waiting for more romance with Marilyn and more scenes with Nicole ehehe. Great job and sorry my bad english, i'm not native.

***** Review after playing parts 1-6 *****

What a great little game! Firstly, I have to commend OrbOrigin for overcoming his personal hardships and delivering a solid update in Part 6. If any dev should make a comeback after a long break, this is how you do it.

Coming to the game itself, the premise is simple, while trying to win over your girlfriend's parents, you fall for the mother while the father warms up to you gradually. You also have a weird bestie in Marilyn with whom you share a quirky and complicated relationship. Your gf is as sweet teens as they can come but is also favoured for unsavoury reasons (NTR alert!) by a mean teacher (Mean doesn't do justice for the walrus of a man is that character!). The gf's father is a RenPy incarnation of Willem Dafoe while the pièce de résistance is Nicole, the mother. One of the most innocent yet alluring, seductive yet beautiful and as real a virtual character can be to a real world gf-mom. There are other female chars but I won't bore you with the details.

Renders of most games since the Q2-2019 have been stunning, what sets this game apart is the character development and the character arc, especially of Nicole. OrbOrigin seems to have spent a considerable amount of time thinking about the character and it shows in the interaction with the MC. Even the father's character, is well-written. The intimate scenes take some build-up but due to the sexual tension rising constantly, the crescendo is worth the wait. Very few games can achieve this, with just one female character. Top of which, the situations are totally believable which further adds the spice to your depraved fantasies.
Lastly, a unique feature of this game is that of the 4-5 female characters with whom you interact, you are only intimate with half of them, mostly with Nicole. Not sure if it is by design but if it is, a stroke of genius. While everyone expects fap-worthy content in games like these but not every female is a body after which to chase by the player. I hope the developer continues this aspect in the game.
Very curious to see how it ends and will post a review when the game is completed. For now, all the best to OrbOrigin for his continued dedication to superb content and story-telling.

Part 6 review
After a long break due the family problems faced by the developer he is back with the bang . Part 6 brings us more content and the ins and out of the story that is happening alongside . Its mainly focused on Chloe's dad and his organisation. Not spoiling the update but the game is definately a 10/10 from my side. Mrs Heavens looks heavenly i.e, awesome renders and good animation is available. The game is well written with twists and turns in the story . Hope everything becomes stable for the developer and his family.

Simply one of my favorite Games on this site. The renders are great as well as the animations. The story is engaging and I am wondering after each update, what comes next.
I can see how much love and work the dev puts into his work. He or she (I don't know) is taking care of every piece of the work, you can see it in the details, how much the dev cares for his work.
The highlight is for me the character design and how they develope throughout the game. The dev shows enough, that you understand the way a character acts and brings something new to a character, that doesn't break the character but rather gives the char. more profile.

Happy to see, that the dev is back. Much love from me to the dev and thanks for this game. Keep rockin'

This game is absolutely amazing. I love the pace and how hot the sex scenes are. The models are really hot and sexy! the creampies are divine! Please continue with this masterpiece. I look forward to every release!

This game gets better and better with every part and keeps building up with promises of more to come. The choice between a sweet, loving relationship and a passionate lustful one is the best.
I could not recommend it more.

With its story that seems right out of a bad brazzers video, to its terrible writing in the early stages, this game does not make a great first impression. But it gets better. A LOT better. With some polish before the final release, this could end up being one of those rare gems of adult VNs that goes beyond just providing a quick faping material.

Decent game but feels very over-rated. The English translation has a lot of issues which combined with the logic gaps in the story leads to the game not being very immersive. I'm not a huge fan of how the mother acts in episode 1, and that if you follow through with the deal you get cucked by a fat, bald teacher. That really annoyed me and left such a sour taste in my mouth. Fortunately, you can cheat the deal and continue dating Chloe but the way the relationships evolve in the game is very boring and not very natural. If you go the NTR route, Chloe becomes very adventurous and allows the hairy, fat teacher to have rough sex with her, if you avoid the NTR and continue dating Chloe, she only allows gentle, boring sex and the only reason I date her is so I don't get cucked. That is a pretty poor character to be forced to date if you don't like NTR. Don't get me wrong, the game isn't bad but I feel it would be dishonest to give it more than 3 stars.

It is beyond strange how the characters change so much from ch 1-2 to 3-4. They almost have different personalities. In spite of this, the story is somewhat interesting and kept me occupied for a little while but chugging through the rough translation got old so I skipped through some of the dialogue.

With how popular the game is, I would be astonished if the creator couldn't find someone to do the translation properly. Anyways, game is worth a try in my opinion just don't expect a perfect game or anywhere close to that.

Sadly I have to give this game 3 stars in its current state. Here are some reasons why I believe there could be better out there:

1. The character models are hit and miss. I think it is no coincidence that right off the bat you are introduced to the MC's GF at a rolling start, having already set the status of relationship mid-way. I think this is because the creator knows that if we could choose, the majority of us would not want to date Chloe. She is skinny, with an odd shaped head, hair that looks like a weave and the most unappealing wardrobe of anyone in the game. The creator obviously went out of his way to make Chloe look as plain and unattractive as possible in order to make our main squeeze, Nicole, look that much more appetizing by contrast. If you take out some of the other factors supporting Nicole as the MC's object, she falls short of many other Milf waifus out there. Things would be more interesting if you were dating young Nicole with her mother looking a bit more like Abigail, wrinkles and all.
2. English is definitely not the creator's first language, and it makes going through some dialogue painful to my eyes. I'm sure the creator could find the courage to ask an English speaking fan to edit this trainwreck to make it more presentable from a storytelling perspective. It's so bad you might as well skip through dialogue and make it up as you go along, using the images as hints to what is being said.
3. Sex scene animations are second-rate at best, 'nuff said.
4. Putting a (relatively difficult) minigame so early in the game is a bit jarring. I literally lost the game within 5 minutes of starting because of the nature of this unimaginative minigame. Why bother putting it in at all?
5. Later in the game the character arc forces you to be a borderline rapist around Nicole consistently. Even if you make choices that would imply passivity and calm, you are forced into situations where your character makes irrational, risky and rapey moves. What's the point of giving us choices that make us as the player seem like a kind and caring sort, but force us to act out in an irrational and aggressive manner anyway?
6. The creator hyped up this character defining choice mid way through and towards the end the game forces our hand anyway??? Why remind us constantly that there is this choice on the horizon, making us feel like we should remember what is going on in order to make an informed decision later on, and then steal that choice from us? This just seems lazy and uninspired to me.
7. The creator goes out of his way to make John seem like a bastard to us the player, while at the same time not making it as apparent to the MC. This is a way of breaking the 4th wall in a way that ruins immersion for some people. It takes us out of the shoes of the character and forces us to make borderline sociopathic choices simply because we the player know things that the MC does not. I could go easy on this part of my criticism because it's probably the least problematic thing about the story, but it's still irksome.

I know that's a lot of complaints for a 3 star review, but because of the nature of erotic games like this, there is a lot of room for doubt and forgiveness- especially since there is a lot of story here. Most of these issues can be solved, so I'm looking forward to some improvements one way or another.

Really good game with a LOT of content and different path. Very linear game and no grinding at all.

I highly recommend it !

Pros :
- Great render (the mom in particular)
- Wide story
- Lot of content

Cons :
- Chloe doesn't look pretty good

Looking forward for future updates and I hope this project will continue!

4/5

Good story and graphic
9/10 support dev if you love to see more chapters
I love the mother attitude toward MC, somewhat realistic.
The others character are also good, except the daughter ( at least at this time chap 5 )
And the choices, jesus so forgiving and interesting

Honestly this game reminds me of the old romance novels that my mom had. Sultry, forbidden and kinky.

The graphics, characters, shading - basically the look of the game is subpar. But the story is what keeps me going. Part 1-5, was an extensive amount of dialogue and pictures.

It's not a type of game where the sex scenes are the foundation. It's the story. So, read away boys and girls
