RPGM - Completed - Aunt Don't Be Sad [Final] [DanGames]

Just awful.

The game is mostly just stupid grinding and keeping your stats up it never changes the stats go empty way too fast. The minigames are bad. The animation are bad. Music is generic. The story just stops, the aunt should be more self conscious I mean it´s the titles of the game that she is supposed to be sad but it never feels like it. The corruption is bad and is goes up by doing stuff like cleaning the house maybe massage her feet and watch TV together then the standart handjob/blowjob/sex, it never felt like a corruptin maybe a good way would have been if the MC give a lot of compliments and makes the aunt feel more confident and that getting more perveted in time instead of cleaning the house.

I was attracted to the renderings in the style of early NLT works (for example, My Summer with Mom and Sis, Lust Epidemic, Visiting Aunt Sarah). Conceptually, the game is most reminiscent of Visiting Aunt Sarah, but, alas, it doesn't reach her level.
Plot and characters
There is no plot as such — there is only a plot setup: the MC comes to live with his uncle. What for? Why? For how long? The developer doesn't talk about this. The characters are also extremely formulaic:
• MC is a short pervert nephew;
• Aunt is uncle's buxom wife, deprived of his attention;
• Uncle is a husband who is always busy with work and asks his nephew to "entertain" his wife.

The story doesn't develop further. Random events happen from time to time, but they don't affect the plot or the characters in any way. Take them away and nothing will change. Maybe there was an unexpected twist at the end, but I only survived by pumping the Affinitive to 82.

Gameplay: Endless grinding
The main mechanic is to raise the Affinity level with your aunt. To do this, you need to:
• communicate with her;
• help around the house (cleaning, yoga, massage).
The mini-games are primitive — you just press the arrows in the correct sequence. It would seem nothing complicated, but the developer artificially stretches the game by adding:
• Energy scale (you need to sleep constantly);
• Hunger scale (endlessly eating);
• Cleanliness scale (wash regularly).
If the scales drop to zero, the hero willn't die — he simply willn't be able to interact with his aunt. These mechanics are incredibly annoying, turning the game into a monotonous repetition of the same actions.

"Madness is the exact repetition of the same action over and over again in the hope of a change. This. There is. Madness."
— Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3)

So I got off this path of madness by pumping Affinitive to 82, and gave up. I didn't expect any plot development, characters, or really good sex content.

18+ content
There's not a lot of it, and most of it is mediocre. In Visiting Aunt Sarah, NLT skillfully wrote such scenes into the story, and the characters at least had a hint of character. There is no immersion or development here, just mechanical interactions. The only advantage compared to VAS is the animation in the sex scenes.

Otherwise, the game doesn't stand out.:
• the same standard assets;
• medium renders (except for the main character);
• Primitive gameplay.
For NLT, Visiting Aunt Sarah was one of the first trials, and for Dan Games it is far from a debut. It's all the more insulting that the game asks for $ 10, although the quality pulls a maximum of $ 1-2.
Conclusion
If you just want adult content for fap, it might be worth a try.
But if you are waiting for at least a minimal plot, interesting characters or exciting gameplay, this game will disappoint you.

Not the best and definetly, not the worst.

Model is great
Storywise is very simple
Animations are worse than other title of the same developer
I found a bug where everytime you talk with her in the studio triggers an scene and prevents me from watching some of the unlocked options to do there.

Very linear and a bit slow get through. At one point the older actions stop generating points of affection and you kind of have to do the more sexual ones, which makes it a bit more time consuming. Still, it's a simple story for a quick fap, and it gets the job done when it comes to entertaining and wasting a couple hours. An hour and ten minutes for me, to be exact. Gonna try the other games next, by the same creator.

Idk why is everyone bashing this game but tbh i loved it, it is a nice rpg that gets you to do something (unlike VN i really don't enjoy those) but it doesn't hinder you from getting to the good stuff and teases you often so you keep going.

I personally enjoy that since i like to take my time, and text isn't that much of an issue, sure there are mistakes but even the dumbest guy that barely understands english could figure out what needs to be done, its a bit grindy but its not like its the worse one out there, for a total play for around 1 hour and a half, it really feels like you got what you where out for with the cover of the main menu.

I love Dangames as a whole tbh but yeah this is up there.

Ps: to any review saying why people are talking bad about this game.... are you being paid? While this is not horrible, to say this is great... you're just misleading people.

-Aunt, don't make me grind!-

TLDR:
About an hour of grindplaygameplay. Managed to find two game breaking bugs.
Ok Aunt, stupid-looking MC.
Some events do not build affection.
Bad implementation of energy system (but not thaaaaat bad).
Simple animations.

Too Long, Did Read:
Energy/Food/Cleanliness system is badly implemented.
It ends up being the average grind fest.
You should 'waste' the first days just build total energy to be able to do more than 2 actions a day.
Then random events happen, which do not build affection or advance the story. Just consume energy/food/cleanliness and most times ain't even 'sexy' events.

Small animations loop, with few variations. They ain't bad, they're just too short.
Not that rewarding, you know?
Aunt looks good, which may be the saving grace.
MC has a funny-looking face.
Uncle is a smurf


Story-wise, ain't much. It lacks the seduction/corruption and falls only on the "Oh, it must be normal for guys your age" aunt reaction.
Uncle interruptions early game, beyond annoying, gave a feeling that we could go in a way of 'secret sex' kind of game. Didn't develop that. Didn't develop much.

About bugs, found two

1 - Out of nowhere a memory error happened while loading an image.
Now, it's been years since I touched RPG Maker. But I guess that's a feat?
Luckily I had recently saved, or else the game would have ended just after the BJ.
2 - the interactions in the office are buggy. You get inside a loop and cannot choose different options, just really early on when you could only talk. But I guess I didn't miss much

Overall, it was just enough not to be mad of wasting my time, but it was really close.
If this was a first game, then it was decent. Not much, but honest work (or try), you know?

I didn't have fun playing this game. The art is average, the animation is pretty bad (it's often just 2 frames), and, my god, this is grindy. You sometimes get random (?) events that replace normal events but doesn't increase the affection your aunt has for you (and that's what you need to progress the game). In the end, you end up repeating the same stuff and hoping you will be able to max out the affection you can get in one day and unlock the next level.

Even if you look at this as low-depth wank material, it's still not great. Firstly it's kinda grindy - you have to navigate the house, finding your aunt in order to raise your affection level from 0 to 100. Things usually unlock at every 20pts, sometimes 10pts. There are some minigames which are fine I guess, but you're going to be doing a lot of repetitive actions.

Then, once you get into the content, the writing is just a flop. You say "lets fuck" she says "okie doke" and then the sex scene plays and you're done. Dialog is very brief when it occurs - I'm not asking for a novel but what is here is barely any better than nothing at all.

Finally, there are several non-repeatable event type scenes which are very convoluted to unlock and find. Some of this is due to poor game design, some of this is just due to bugs. There also appears to be no ending - you hit 100 affection and maybe there is another event or two but that seems to be it. The characters are presumably trapped in this house for the rest of time.

Despite all this, the game does provide you with a somewhat kinky scenario, with a very attractive woman, and some good art/animations (idk what above review is referring to, all the animations I saw were like the reverse cowgirl scene sampled on OP - many frames). There is music, but no character audio of any kind. Overall, it's fine. I can't see how anyone could seriously think this is better than 3 stars/average. I would call it 2.5 myself.

TL; DR
Short avg game for some hours, everything could be better and enjoyable if done more throughtoutly, but it has some charm on its own. Not very much unfortunately...

It was average, the renders were good, the sex scenes were okay. The animation was a little clunky but not ugly. The biggest issue is that the scenes were tied to an affection stat. There were a few scenes were you got different outfits once you reached a certain threshold, but weren't seen again afterward.

The late game sucks, as far as I could find there was one scene where you have sex with the Aunt in your room and then can never repeat it again. It was just strange.

The good:
- sexy little moments of corruption and groping.
-the aunty is a pretty cute render, and agullible bimbo
-the dialoge is bessedly lean (SERESIOULY, message to ALL WRITERS- stop writinga hundred pages of prattling banter. NO ONE is playing your game for the subtle reparte.)
-the kid is hilariously ugly. Even his walk animation is goofy. I totally consider this a plus.
-the minigames, although really simplistic, at least add some interactivity.

The bad:
-gets a little grindy. Wouldn't mind a few more events around the house just to add to the variety
-Aunty's O-Face is disturbing LOL

Overall, lean, simple and satisfying. Everything I want in an adult game!

a short, simple, very straightforward game.
you are confined to one apartment, have 3 needs to keep fulfilled (sleep, hygiene, food), and just grind out the affection points to get the scenes by doing chores or talking to her. there are also two very simple minigames, one is washing dishes, the other is getting yoga/massage skills for access to corresponding scenes.

for some reason MC's face is very dumb. why do spanish devs tend to make MC's faces dumb???
