VN - Ren'Py - A Mother's Love [Part 1-14 Plus] [OrbOrigin]

I can not believe I have not rated the game yet.

5/5 No questions asked.

One of the best passionate/emotional/corrupted love affairs I have ever played on here, with a story that's keeping me on the edge.

Unlike other games on here where there might be a good story, but that is not always linked to the relationship and romantic progress, in this story the link between the story and the relationship is the same story.

Your moving forward with the story is directly reflected in your relationship with Nicole. The villain in the story is amazing.

Because he is so manipulative, unpredictable, clever and immensely cruel. He can potentially destroy the MC's life with a snap of his fingers while the MC keeps on playing with fire. You also do not know how much the villain knows and what his plans with the MC are. He is scary.

So:
Graphics: 8/10 (You can see improvements as the game go on)
Story: 10/10 The constant underlying tension is brilliant
Characters: 10/10 I love/hate every single character including side characters
Sex scenes:9/10 Very often and erotic
Sound: No Sound
Animation: 6/10 Not the game's strong point.
Pubic hair: 7/10 Some characters have pubic hair. Unfortunately done with older technology and it shows. The dev did update some of the hair, but during one the polls, his Patreons decided that Nicole should keep her current hair. That's a pity IMO.

Overall, I would recommend this game. Be warned there are some violent scenes and other scenes bordering on sexual assault. In other words, if you are sensitive to these kind of things. Just be aware that the game does make you uncomfortable

Playing this was a great experience. Story is great and its gets better n better. Loving the pace, how new characters are getting involved, script, and the renders (those are really good).
Just in the start, I felt that the cause of "nicole payment event" was not that strong and the event was bit early. Maybe, an event in which chloe gets bad grade and Beeman suggesting nicole to keep chloe away from the MC would have been a good trigger for nicole to ask MC to stay away from chloe and for initiating the nicole payment event. But, after that part the story unfolds brilliantly.
Please don't mind the above. Overall for me this was a 10/10 work.
Looking forward to the future updates. There are tons of possibilities in my mind after the last part. Let's see how it goes.

I found the story very interesting and captivating, with good characters. The males faces are a bit awkward but in overall a liked the game very much. Can't wait to see next update. This is the worse part: to wait to see how the story unfolds. Keep up the good work.

My review of A Mother's Love [Part 1-10 Plus]

A pretty average game.
It's interesting at first with good graphics and a good-looking love interest, but the story quickly gets predictable, uneventful (apart from sex), and boring.
Characters are unrealistic and don't talk like real people.
Talking with the mother eventually got boring and repetitive (very little progress and lots of verbose dialogue with little progress).
The last straw that made me quit the game was having zero audio.

This is the first Ren'Py VN I played. It's what got me interested in these things, so I have a soft spot for it. It's got a complex plot with lots of content, a beautiful older woman character, and many good, erotic scenes. But, man, at times it is really... odd.

This VN, more than any other, makes me wish I could somehow get into the source code and rewrite all the dialogue. It's not that the obvious non-native English is grammatically wrong. It's just that the way people talk is really uncanny. It's like if I google translated my English into Mandarin or Japanese. A native speaker of those languages would understand, but they'd raise their eyebrows. This VN is like that.

It's a soap opera, with cliffhangers, sudden, dramatic revelations and all that baggage. I've seen both Japanese and Chinese soaps, and I get the impression that this is an Asian dev team who've taken a TV drama and put it in a North American setting... without knowing how North Americans live or talk.

The weirdness... the older woman's great scandal is that when she was a swimsuit model, someone... gasp... grabbed her breast. Omg, tell that to Terry Richardson. Or the night out in the fancy restaurant... and they order the dishes by number. Or, maybe my favourite, the "Blues Bar," is called that because the owner's name is... Mr Blues. Like Blues' Clues. Maybe it should be "Blueses Bar." This kind of stuff abounds, and gives an uncanny feeling to the whole thing.

I have to give credit to the creators in keeping the plot going. It starts as a simple blackmail, but then becomes increasingly elaborate, and, as I said, they conclude every episode with a cliff hanger, which takes ingenuity. Some of the cliff hangers are silly, and forced, but if you read the discussion thread you'll see that they generate a lot of interest and anticipation.

Scenes are well-composed, and this helps keep the material fresh over time. The early episodes in particular are full of really interesting images, framed with very cineamtic angles. The sex scene in the fancy restuarant is a good example. As the story progresses I notice fewer of these, however.

The erotic scenes in general are really good, and full of titillation, with a lot of sexual tension, risk of being discovered etc. Very re-playable.

The MC is mopey, reminds me a lot of your typical manhwa protagonist, a boring person dropped into an exciting situation. Other characters are... odd. The daughter looks like she's always eating a lemon. The husband looks like Willem Dafoe and talks like, I dunno, a cross between Cao Cao and Snidely Whiplash.

The older woman is the star, beautifully realized and presented for our delectation. I do wish she was less whiney. I liked her early on, when she was composed and strict, but over time she's becoming fragile and almost infantile, which is a mood-killer for me.

That's enough. Definitely worth checking out. Kudos for the devs to hit a lot of my erotic interests with such excellent artwork. But, man , the dialogue...

Nicole is in the list of top 10 milfs of all time, she's damn near perfect. Story is pretty nice, and the other characters are also cool. Hopefully we will get to fuck Marylynn in the future also because she's a cool character too. There are lots of interesting people in the game that you meet and talk with too. The MC is a little dumb but I've seen much worse. All in all I would recommend giving the game a try, I liked it enough to support the dev making it.

I love the idea of a story wherein the MC slowly starts building a sexual relationship with his girlfriend's mom. That's super hot. Unfortunately, "A Mother's Love" doesn't deliver for me. The MC is a total douchebag and the sex escalates too quickly. After a while I found myself just skipping through the dialogue in order to get to the lewd scenes, which is a sign to me that a title is average, at best.

A Mother's Love, is an outstanding example of a self directed V.N. I really enjoy this premise, it's different . As the story goes on it is becoming much more complex, once I think I know where it's headed there is a twist that makes me reconsider my original thought process and opinion of the charters, as it seams they all have a lot of secrets they're guarding. The renderings are great, Mrs. Heavens is by far the best.
Truly look forward to each and every update.
OrbOrigin you're doing a wonderful job on this project.

The central relationship of this story is between you and your girlfriend’s mother and the development of this relationship is excellent. The characters grow as the story moves along and their relationships keep you engaged. The character of the girlfriend's mother is very well developed and the hero is pretty likable. You'll also meet several great women along the way. The graphics are pretty good and this game is also a must play.

I would give 4,5 stars, but there is no half star... so be it 5

I personally dont like "corruption", i tried this game sonce, a half year ago... and about day 4-5 in-game i quit. Cant stand the "blackmail" or "taking advantage" situation. I just dont feel good in this.

Recently i decided to give this another try, i have to admit, Nicoles Model is just something else... i wanted to play another time to look at it and to see if the game "changes" at one point.

I was relieved that the "taking advantage" part is rather short... didnt know that it will only take a week ingame to "stop" it in a way.

Yeah if you take advantage of Nicole all the time and go all along the corupption way, this might be different, but as i said, i dont like it... so i went the way to "lose" corruption points on her.

And this way you will get one, maybe the best love-affair story on F95 so far i think. You can really "feel" the affaction the MC and Nicole have. And the guilt, to this affair is always present. Chloe is cute as a button, it pains a little to go behind her back. But all works out really good... its well written to accept and see the chloe is not "the" girl for the MC, she hasnt it all... Nicole on the other side has all what the MC desires, and this you can comprehend due to the good writing of this game.

For me, this love-story is just great, and you can easily replay this game in other paths... NTR is avoidable (which i did, chloe is still my girlfriend) but there is the NTR path too, and you can corrupt nicole or just go deeply in love with her... so i would say, 3 playthroughs are a good way to "see it all"

To summarize...

Excellent Renders, great lovestory (potentially for those who like it, a great corruption path too i would say), interessting and tense story around the Magic Grand Real Estate which is perfectly intertwined with the story around Nicole and the MC. At the beginning i said i would give 4,5 stars instead of 5, to explain this... this half star "los" is about the animations... to say it freely, just cut them. They are not good at all, these kind of animations are just annoying and dont do any good to the game. Just repating motions which most of the times are just awful and sometimes making it involuntarily weird, if youre not able to make good and diverse animations, than just dont do any animations at all. But i think animatiosn are just a "bonus" so i will give the game 5 stars int he end cause there are no half-stars.

I would actually rate this 3.5/5, but since there's no half star on this site, I will give it a 3 star instead. This game is very inconsistent in that it is really great at its best and very bad at its worst. The concept is great and the foundations for a good game are certainly there, but the writing quality for its characters are complete coin-flips, and the dialogue sound incredibly robotic and not how real people would actually talk. I also wish that the protagonist was a few years older and was more mature instead of being a whiny, hypocritical and horny piece of shit who doesn't really develop into a more likable character even in the non-corruption route. Still, the romantic moments with Nicole later into the story are by far the best parts of the game, and it single-handedly carried this game from bad to actually enjoyable.

Very story driven game, it shows very real characters from an arrogant antagonist/protagonist who while blackmailing a mother of his girlfriend into sexual favours finds himself grow feelings for her other than lust, she in turn is repulsed by his actions in the beginning but as the story plays out we find very human characters, I did not like the Protagonist at first but the player will find themselves rooting for the 2 as the story unfolds. There is actually a sweet love story in here with varying branching paths, you can choose to stay that arrogant character or actually make different choices that genuinely affect the games narrative and become something better, the animations are some of the best rendered in any Ren'Py game too, no stolen assets & a great plot actually make this a great game.

A very good gaem. Nice graphics and story. The graphics are with the right expresions. I loved this game. Looking forward to the next chapter. And ofcourse how will this end ? The women are nice. Canversations sometime a little to much for me. But the story is to good to stop with playing.

great storyline, great rendering, great facial feature , literally look like a real human. Amazing start! Looking forward to the updates .It has huge potential. Every time I thought it would surely end, it kept going

I really enjoyed playing this game. The image of the mother in the game feels very real when "fap"i, I fell many times because of that angelic face. oI really like it and if you are a fan of the milf, don't miss the experience. experience it.

Wow wow wow...I recently played this game and kudos to the dev for making such an engaging plot with beautiful renders. The heroine stands out in her look and the progress feels natural.

Certainly one of the games where I went in looking for a quick *** but stayed for the story.
This needs more love from ppl here.

The game is so captivating. Both the characters and plot are AMAZING, especially Nicole.

Nicole is by far the best tsundere mom Ive ever seen.
Most beautiful one too, with or without her glasses.

She is so loving and caring about her family that she doesnt easily break down to cheating, to the point she would even get nightmares of getting caught in indecent/wrong acts.
That is conscience, or might also be regret. I havent played much VN games about cheating milfs yet to know if they have the same, but this value in a milf is AMAZING.
The fact that she struggles with it all because of wanting to feel loved again, at the same time putting up boundaries to limit herself because she already has a family.

The antagonist here is a worthy villain, very smart and clever. He is a hypocrite, a snake and a very cunning control freak. All the more reason for one day, for Nicole to leave him. As much as she commited some of his wrong acts too (cheating), the villain is the one most at fault at the end of everything.

Hope to see more of this amazing game, and more more more of Nicole.
Stay safe creator, may God always be with you.

I am writing this review after playing up to part 10 of the game. Here's what I liked and did not like about the game so far.

Liked:
-the MC does not share his woman (a huge plus for me)
-Nicole is HOT!!!!! (she's now my favorite milf )
-very minimal forced scenes (it would be the best if there is none)
-very hot sex scenes (have I said that Nicole is hot?)
-no game overs
-great renders and animations
-engaging story
-story is refreshing (a nice break from the usual story lines from other games)

Did not like:
-spelling and grammar NEEDS proof reading! (there are dialogues that cannot be understood
-dialogues NEED a rework (I felt like I was reading an anime english subtitle). A better choice of words will surely make a huge improvement.
-no option to torture and kill John, Joshua, Tyler and those 2 asshole receptionists from the hotel

As far as I'm concerned, the pros clearly outweighs the cons. Overall, the game is great if you can put up with the dialogues, and since I am now a huge fan of Nicole Heavens I'll give it 5 stars! I hope the updates keeps on coming regularly.

I love Nichole, her character is really intoxicating, don't care for other girls in there but Nichole. She is still confused but hopefully she will sort it out in upcoming episodes and start some serious relationship with mc.
You are doing great job Orb.

HI i hardly leve any review for the games and i do support some patrons but hardly ever posts on f95 but i owe to OrbOrigin to leave this review for the excellent game that he created. I have playing erotic game for last 3 years and i stumbled across orbrigin work in past. His work was impressive but the games were very short so i didn't give much attention but i accidentally came across this gem gave it a try and it just blew my mind. I admit the plot that started out bit silly has spiraled in something phenomenal. If you just play for storyline you would be satisfied and intrigued for what will happen in future. But for me storyline is not best part but its the characters especially Nicole. Wow what a lady. She just keeps getting better band better. By every part her charterer become better and she becomes more and more beautiful. I gotta hand it orborigin you have created one of finest human specimens in history of erotic games.
Another thing i point out the great detail on small expressions, they are described withe great detail that you don.t see often in other games. Now for personal favorite thing about this game apart from goddess Nicole is that this is a love story. sure mc has some fun here and there but he not trying have sex with every chick but pursuing her love for one lady and update by update is becoming more and more clear. I think because their relationship is evolving, even after so many detailed and fabulous sex scenes between mc and nicole we get something fresh and exciting. With this point i am ending my review on this fabulous gem that should garner much more support that it deserves and for my selfish reason if orborigin has bigger budget the updates will be more frequent. So please check out this game and if you find it worthy do support him. I do really hope orborgin read this review so that i can thank him for creating this gem.
