Ren'Py - Apartment #69 [v0.09] [Luxee]

The story begins when our protagonist leaves his family to go live in his apartment 69, from there, the game starts directly in sandbox, let's be clear I'm not against sandbox when it is well used, so my first reaction was "Great, the game will allow us to make the relationships/events that we want.".

I'm far from it... The story is linear, the characters are linear, the events are linear... so I have a question, why put sandbox when everything is linear and you have to make a certain order to make the characters?

Other thing that annoys Nea and Evelyn, Nea is a transgender who is linked to a lot of characters, so if you want to advance story for certain characters you are Forced to go on Nea, the possibility to skip is present, but you are still Forced to go see Nea to activate a skip each time. Which here, no longer makes sense, the conversations could very well have adapted to someone you want to help without being in an intimate relationship, instead of making a skip that demolishes a big part of the story.

On censorship side, it's pretty much the same thing, if you want to advance the story on family side you have to go on Evelyn. If you don't like Evelyn, you should do with it, if you don't like loli content, you should do with it, do you want to advance on Jamie or Tess? You have to go on Evelyn.

Apartment #69 could be interesting but sandbox is useless, the choices do not exist, the forced characters, the whole game is thought as a harem while yet there any mention of it, to be brief, there is too much inconsistency. Shame. 2/5

Good story so far, renders are very nice

Characters are so far interesting. Especially Nea. she is just an adorable girl who you cant help but want to protect (which is good that the story has the MC doing just that) from all the shit life throws at her.

Both sisters are interesting so far, though the older one hasnt had much development for a few updates. The Mother needs quite a bit more development at this point, the story has been very focused on Nea and the younger sister.

Main thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the pace of updates and the size, I dont pretend to know much about developing these games, but based on other titles, the pace seems a bit heavy for the light amount of content each update brings. I feel at times like im being teased more by the story than drawn in.

One thing I really don't want to see if a patch like PL got that forced underage content to be attached to other content in the patch, that basically kept me from playing PL, the fact that a chunk of the content was cut out and locked into a patch forcing the ages of some of the characters into territory im not comfortable with but gave me no option to alter the ages kept me from playing that game all the way through.

Really good, all the characters are suuper enjoyable especially nea. Almost zero drama and i love that. Models are interesting and the blushes are soul crushing. I hope i can see more and a end to nea route, 9/10.

0.04

There are a couple of good things that carry over from PL to this one, like the renders and the (generally speaking) good readable English. Unfortunately, there are two things that I find annoying, the first one being that we have the one-dimensional male bullies again for the umpteenth time (the how-millionth fist fight did we have here?), the second one is the unnecessary sandbox concept with its UI that still constantly gets in my way, even though this has been worked upon according to the changelog. The trans-pal is a nice touch for once, though not too redeeming for my taste. Some things are funny in a strange way in this game, like the mother's eagerness in trying to help with the relationships with your sisters. Also even if you are usually into this thing, little sister so readily and quick being all over you can feel uncomfortable. After a while I also thought that this game is not a monster regarding depth, but this might still change and we are at least not tortured with endless internal monologues and other things that pointlessly drag on. As for the two things I mentioned that I find annoying, I think the die has already been cast, so too bad for me then.

Surprisingly I found this good: While the story contains a sister LI who looks and acts like, I don't know, 12; which I would usually find extremely off-putting, here this is pulled off in a strangely endearing and warmhearted way. The MC and most LIs are relatable and likeable (unfortunately there is the usual lack of non-moronic males). Graphics are good, writing is fine. Gameplay can be a bit annoying doe to the sandbox mechanic which I do not like too much.

Great game with interesting story and trans friendly writing. This game has a lot of heart while remaining fun an easy to play unlike other sandbox style games. I always play the newest updates as soon as they’re released and I’ve not been disappointed.

The 3d models in the game are actually quite nice. Usually I find the 'realistic' style 3d models ugly or even nightmarish, but here the cute characters are actually cute, the sexy characters sexy.

The content is also pretty good, I especially enjoyed because it felt very natural, not crazy only happens in ero games kinda thing.

It's still in pretty early development as there isn't a lot of content. Also I clicked on skip the futa content and almost half the game is missing and the story references events I haven't seen.
It would be nice if it was less linear and if there were more actual choices involved. I wouldn't mind non H scenes with Nea, but this kink does not interest me.

This game is all over the place, it seems like a not so elaborate way to get all of these fetishes in one story, it does not try to justify things too much and once or twice stuff goes from 0 to 100 from one scene to the next.

It is incredibly progressive (for a porn a game) in the way that it treats its futa character, but also incredibly shameless with its loli characters.

At the end I felt that the game does things just to do what other games can't or won't because of one reason or the other.

Not a lot of content yet.

What is there has decent (not great) writing and renders.

It is, however, marred by 2 things.

Its aggressively linear. Not only do you not really get any choices on how scenes play out or what your relationship is with the various girls, you don't even get to choose who you do or do not interact with.
New scenes with one girl won't appear until you do a few more scenes with another, which won't unlock until you do another scene with a third one, etc.

Which makes the next issue even more glaring:
The game does not need a map screen. Shouldn't have it.
If you're going to make a linear story, make it linear. There's no point going to a location unless there is a scene available there.
Luckily, the creator seems to realize this and flags which locations have scenes available on the map.
Just too bad, they didn't take the additional realization that the map was superfluous and you could easily just ask the player who they want to talk to instead.

Still, has potential, if (and that's a big if) it ever gets finished.

This games was not what I expected but was very good.
In includes an absolutely delicious digusting sense of immorality in regards to the obviously-not-underage obviously-not-related characters, which feeds my depraved self. But in addition, there's a very kind and sympathetic story in there. Usually games either takes care of my horny well, or has emotional impact, but this one felt like it handed both wonderfully. It gets a warm recommendation, where I think most people, even if doesn't quite seem like their cup of tea, should give it a solid go

no choices to be made here. game involves specific people even if you don't care for them to further others. if you like all the fetishes listed, you will probably be into it. If you're not into all of them, you'll be put off consistently

I'm usually not a fan of Sandboxes but with this latest update the UI seems to be where it should be.
One click on the map shows you if there is anything to do and where at the current time of day, so good job there.

All the good kinks are there
Incest
Harem
Virgins
Loli
and knowing Luxee surely pregnancy in the future too.

Can't wait for more cute loli scenes (Millie is really adorable) and a happy end for Nea

Tbh. Eve, Millie and Yui would be worth 5 stars on their own even of the rest sucked, luckily it doesn't^^

4.5 out of 5 stars, rounded up

PROS: consistently great models and graphics; breaks practically every major taboo (inter-racial, incest, trans, loli); a wide variety of character types, from innocent learners, to those repressing their urges and in denial about them, to a mom actively seeking to corrupt her family, to interracial and trans characters you get to play white knight for, etc. The game has probably what is by far the most sensitive and realistic depictions of a (mtf) trans character, as friend and potential LI, that I've seen in any game. (And yes, if you're not interested in that it's completely avoidable, but the storyline itself is worth reading.); really hot sexual scenes with a good mix of story, teasing, slow burn, and sex, with all scenes developed in as realistic a way as games like this allow.

CONS: essentially it's a sandbox, which makes telling a a multi-thread story like this and delivering user desired content easier, but breaks immersion. There is an in-game guide for what to do next though so you're not just lost. I don't recall any fem on fem content if you're into that, but there may be a small amount, and the story is very much setup to allow it in the future if the creator wants.

TL;DR:

• v0.03
• Very nice renders and Animations
• Highly likable Characters
• Nice story developement
• very little porn content
• Quite ambitios regarding the kinks it's trying to adress

I liked this very much. And I like this dev very much.
The way he tells those stories is quite believable and consistent. It's sandbox, but very easy to navigate (simply check the map. If an Event is ready, the location will be marked with an icon) so you never have to search for the next Location. The dev tries to make the event take place in a fitting order (although that could use some more work), so the individual storylines don't contradict each other. Sadly, this way you can not just ignore characters you have no interest in.

All in all, it looks like this game is going to adress pretty much every popular kink there is (except for straight up gay content). And I'm afraid he's doing that quite good. I, personally, have absolutely no interest in Trans-Characters. But that Nea-Chick is simply lovable.

Now, for a four-month long developement time (for the last update), there was very little content included. And there is only one actual porn-scene that shows the teacher. I'd have liked to explore that character further, but aparently the dev goes exclusively by the polls on his patreon, and they were more interested in other characters.

But that's also what the dev does right. This is not a milking-project like so many others. This dev doesn't charge per month, but per "major" game updates. So the dev has an actual interest in further developing it, and I look very much forward to what is to come next.

Maybe scenes are missing and a better development of the story but in general terms it is very good, obviously more content good game and let's not forget a development for mobile phones that there are many players from there

First thing about the game is that using the incest/loli patch does the job if you believe the setting the patch sets up, but if you are a little picky, you kind of need to ignore stuff that doesnt exactly work as it should.

Regarding the amount of meaningful character development i dont think it has progressed much since the release. Bascially the "young sister" is curious, the "older sister" is jealous, and the mother depraved as hell.
There is not much content if you are a straight male, i think Noa gets the bigger amount of content, he las like 10 events.

The thing that you need to progress others events (maybe from characters and/or kinks you dont like) can be off putting, and if you add the fact that you need to search the places to find them, you have an antifap combo.
For being sandboxy, navigation is little to no convenient.

The good aspect the game has is the renders. Character "design" could definetly be better. I would say Millie is decent. Evelyn looks like a cute version of Greta Thumberg, i like what she represents in the setting, but i dont like her design.

"Sex" scenes and dialogues are not impressive, it feels average. Every scene needs at least 3 more renders. Others like the french kisses would need different renders with actual french kisses, and not that. Just a couple of examples.

This is the second time I played it since the release, and I liked it then, having in mind the future, but after some months the future looks still quite far.

004 dissapointing, nice dialogue with millie, but the rest is boring. Sex sceens still boring, attempts at animation....So so. Please redo the damn frech kisses, that is more like your grandma without teeth kisses. The less hot french kiss i have seen.

With al this on mind the game is boring.

I'm very impressed by this game, not too much content just yet but it's a very new game. The content that this does have however is of high quality render wise. The story is most definitely non-realistic, but feels smooth nontheless. It does not feel forced or too lenghty if you ask me.
This has been put on my -follow- list making sure I don't forget. (Yes, I have a file with all games I liked, doesn't everyone?)

FYI:
I Played through pretty much most content and found no errors at all. Using the patch + Mod.

As of version 0.03 it contains:
1. Unique and likable characters (including the MC).
2. Crisp and enticing renders.
3. Engaging and well paced story line.
Overall great game. Exited for future updates.

Since it is just v0.03 I'm gonna give one extra star, because I can see the developer is slowly changing things for better.
There are still some things that need change though, e.g. some in-game hints about what can I do and when, or some statistics in characters tab saying whether I finished chosen character's story already would be great.
Characters? I like Eve and her friend as characters and also as models. On the other hand, the older sister, mom or Charelle need some final touches to fit the game more i think. There were already some changes made to renders, scenes and models by the developer, so I'd be happy if they changed them to look more realistic and fitting each other.
Story? Can't probably expect any significant twists in the story, but still, for the kind of game that is based mostly on relationships, it is pretty good - luckily no horny guy trying to fuck everybody around is present.
I like the promising future concerning fetishes I deduced so far. Still, making them avoidable would be awesome.
