VN - Ren'Py - Away from Home [Ep.1-25] [vatosgames]

Really worth playing... If You like Netori or cheating genre games .... Not only that it best ... Even if you are not into these genres ... I pretty sure u will enjoy it....I also enjoyed this AVN .... At first i just started skipping a lot ... But after a while i go back and reply this one without skipping ... And i am pretty sure it's worth my time ... About sex scenes ... They are really good ... And best fitting in those certain scenes... Not really high or great renders but.... That's really negligible ... If have time then try this one

Ay oo Dev's i hope u .. Consider creating your Discord sever ... That would be like Cherry on top

One of my Fave Five. Interesting to just forget things and play a horndog sniffing out every gal in the neighborhood. Not sure where the storyline is going but it seems to be playing out well while still letting hormones run amok in a bit of fun fashion...

This game has some unqiue models that look really great.
Renders look great and animations are good.
Storywise is pretty average but its still in development so who knows how it will end.
You can also see how the developer got better with time since both renders and models look better the further into the game you get!

The story is alright
The character models are not good in the first few episodes, but later they are good
The stories of the characters are mid, but you have a lot of sex scenes with them

Overall it's more of a porn game than a real story driven VN so 3/5 stars

I started this game quite a while ago and enjoyed it quite a bit, felt that it held great potential. Then, for whatever reason, around episode 4 or 5 I just kind of forgot about it, then picked it up again a couple days ago.

My major impression of the game so far is: Holy shit the MC is a sociopath, he has no good relations except maybe his (female) cousin and his aunt. He pressures his mother like a high schooler on a date using the worst pseudo psychology possible to justify his actions.

The path for his male cousin has only two options. Break his soul by fucking his crush and his mother in front of him or give him a girl like a Christmas present . The netori aspects for all the other characters was understandable. Cold husbands, asshole husbands, and a micro penis (lol). But the cousin was just an introverted gamer.

TLDR Ratings
Overall appearance: Good
Renders: Above Average
Animations: Above Average (I'm no 3D artist, but it seems that the models could have been positioned better in a lot of them to me)
Story: Sparse, though what is there is interesting

My review with the latest update - Ch 1-17

Plot -- The MC is moving to his aunt's house as his police father is working on a case that makes them vulnerable to live in the same city as him. (As expected) Aunt and her neighbours are eye candy milfs, each having their gripe with their husbands and they're yours for the picking. The main plot involves you helping your father solve his case, mostly over the phone.

The Good

1) Story is mildly believable and the writers have done a fair job keeping up the pace of the main plot while introducing new characters and advancing the character arcs of individual ladies.
2) You mostly have 2 options; go after the young teens or their hot moms. I chose the later because of my penchant for milfs (sue me! ) . The milf paths have been rewarding with the devs + writers putting a lot of effort into the mother's arc, for good reason. Some subplots are silly, while others are too real to pursue, especially a couple who have peculiar issues and you do feel for the guy, yet you're almost like a moth to the flame when you pursue debauchery with his wife.
3) The last few chapters feel rushed as has been pointed out by several other players as well.

The Bad

1) The renders of the characters, especially the mother in earlier chapters. She was pale, had a horrible smile and you wanted to run away from her in any scene. It was and still to some extent applies to the cousin as well.

2) The writing wasn't inspiring but it wasn't downright awful either, but it could be much more meaningful for certain scenes if some efforts are put into it. Thus far, it applies to most characters except the aunt and mother's arc which are written with great care and effort. I'm not sure if this is by design but hard to miss, at least I spotted it.

3) Some character introductions are forced, especially in recent updates while at times choices seem to have been skipped. For instance, at the end of the recent chapters, you miss a threesome with 2 milfs but you never got to make that choice (I didn't follow any walkthrough, played mostly on the milf paths).

4) In earlier chapters, choice of BG music was awkward. There were scenes that demanded serious music when it was lullaby/lounge music. This wasn't the case as the chapters progressed, so not a major red flag.

4) Lastly, I avoided Netori games like the plague but boy was it kinky as hell. I liked the possibility of being caught rather than the Netori aspect itself.

Overall, since the renders have improved and what was an average storyline, seemed to have held its own shows the writers' conviction, which should be appreciated. Hope to see a satisfying end to the story and perhaps short epilogues for the main characters especially the aunt and mother would mark it as a good, if not greatest game.

This is now my favorite game in this site so far. Damnit the girls are too hot. MILFs everywhere, netori, pregnancy, tons of animation and good renders... is this heaven?

The only thing this game lacks is an excuse to throw the other men cockblocking the MC out of the house and make the MC earn some money to make the harem oficial with all the women in the house.

I also think that the dev could take it a little easier on Cody and the other bald guy, they are just too pitiful.

TL;DR: Excelent FAP material, go for it.

A game that tries to mix story with smut and at times succeeding.

It has the usual trope of absurd situations with girls throwing themselves at mc for no reason. There isn't really a character that stands out and is interesting so the main selling point is sex.

From the sex point of view it does it rather well, there are plenty of hot sexual situations if you can gloss over the fact that they're pretty absurd.

Story is... Ok. Perhaps above average but its inconsequential tbh.

I got into the game not expecting much, but surprisingly I found myself enjoying it quite a bit.

Renders and Animations are serviceable. I'd give them a 3 or 3.5. Some of the early game renders are a bit wonky, but you can tell that the developers are getting better the further the game is developed.

Writing is a solid 3/5. Average. Nothing mind-numbingly horrid, but also not much to write home about. The plotline is trying to do something with your absent father and the mafia, but it's really all just kind of in the background and most of it falls flat.

So why the 4/5 then? Three words my friend. INCEST MILFs NETORI.
While the rest of the game is quite run-of-the-mill, this game EXCELS with Incest, Milfs, and Netori content. Your mother, your aunt, your cousin, your next-door neighbors, the Chad MC pretty much goes about his day banging and cucking every household in the neighborhood as you slowly build a harem of horny desperate housewives.

If you're not interested in the aforementioned genres, you're not missing out on much by passing on this game. BUT If you are man of culture who enjoys INCEST, MILFs & NETORI, please do give this game a try as the game really does deliver boatloads on those three genres.

Overall, a game that despite its averageness, Highly excels in its 3 strengths: INCEST, MILFS & NETORI. Solid 4/5 Good game.

[Ep 1-16, Away From Home]
Another Harem game that we show a good back story and -the MC is a true Alpha.
This game is exceptional, for since the beginning and is always bringing hot content.
Seriously, and the first night and the day after that first time with the mother I think was the best scene I've ever seen in games. The scene, the sequence, it was awesome.
And it's amazing how constant it is. All the models are good, there is no exception.
My favorites are Nora, Lily, Lydia and Janet and now the tattooed.
(I can't wait for a story with Lydia)
The harem and the NTI (Netori) of the game are sensational.
I might even say it is the best NTI I have ever played.
And everything indicates that we will keep this excellent game like this.
There is no way the dev wants to do a 180º, and change the genre of the story for the MC to be a beta.
For the love of god Vatos, don't do this.
The game has a lot of girls to develop,
and to lose time making content for other guys will be a big, BIG MISTAKE.
And like I said, there are a lot of very good girls, so they all deserve decent content with MC.

great game have played from chp 1-16 in one go and i am craving for more, it got really spicy by the end x), the only thing i am doubting about the story is the mafia thing... dont like it too much where this is going, hope the mc mother and close people dont get hurt because this brainless mc that would be really sad, leaving that aside , 10/10 like all of the game

Pretty much just a milfcest simulator and I don't mind that at all.

Writing is very generic and not really that interesting but it serves its purpose of transitioning between scenes.

Plot wise, it's nothing special but it's enough to keep me playing.

Renders are okay in the first couple episodes but at about the halfway point, renders and animations start improving bit by bit.

Models aren't the best in terms of proportions and texturing but definitely still pretty good, with no character being "ugly" in that sense.

As a total package, it would probably be a 3-3.5 star game but the taboo parts are done well enough that it's gonna get a 4/5 instead.

(as of episode 16)

This score really is an average, because this game is quite uneven, some very good, some very bad. It's a VN, with some major choices, and I use a mod, which I recommend. Trust me, this is one porn game you are not enjoying for the story.

The zero-to-one star stuff first: The mcguffin plot is really silly, I mean, cop father enlists gormless son into his investigation... and the dialogue, which is very stilted, doesn't help. There are scenes, gatherings in living rooms, where it's like the cast of a play doing their first line reading. The rendering of interiors is very sterile, which adds to the flatness of tone. And the whole thing veers wildly from... wow, my aunt wants me to put lotion on her, to, wow, could this man know the mastermind behind all the evil in Vice City? It's like two entirely seperate plots spliced together.

Part of the problem, I think, is that there is waaaaay too much dialogue, lots of nattering with little variation in render. Really kills any momentum or tension. So I recommend you get one of those little mechanical birds and have it peck at the spacebar.

Sigh, the MC narrates his thoughts... Get this, there's a moment when he's pinned between his aunt and mom and we get his inner monologue like he's a chess grandmaster working out a queen sacrifice. Honestly, we need someone to post the 10 do's and don'ts of an erotic VN because I can't believe how many eager young devs commit this cardinal sin.

And the MC is a problem, because he's supposed to be 21, but acts more like he's... 10? Except when he acts like he's a 30-year old master spy... We're meant to identify with him, but it's really hard to because he's so... you know... (rolls eyes, shrugs and shakes head).

Okay, enough. What about the four-to-five star stuff? Well, let's start with the ladies. They are... (kisses fingertips). I mean, maybe not to everyone's taste, but I love the slender, pale angular look they have. And they are used well. Some wonderful scenes that use the first-person POV really well, MC in pool with mom and aunt, MC in bed with mom... Playful, erotic, wonderful. The mom is the high point for sure, can't say enough good things about her.

The sex scenes are a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, they get a lot of attention, and the animations are good. I really like the facial expressions - these women enjoy having sex. It's not ahegao, but it's good, and different from the usual. But I also find them a little conservative and (ahem) dry, if you know what I mean.
The whole will-she won't -she relationship with the mom was handled well, until it was resolved. Without spoiling, the thing that brings them finally together is another stupid mcguffin plot device. And, as some other commentators have noted, now that they are together, the whole thing has lost momentum. The MC-mom plot was way more interesting than the business with the criminal mastermind.

One thing I don't like, and it gets back to the weird nature of the MC, are the mechanisms that bring him together with the married women. Essentially, he's tripping over horny housewives in a land of neglectful husbands and micropenises... Unearned harem, and, on the one hand, if we're supposed to regard the other men with scorn, it would help if the MC himself was a bit more interesting, but apart from his penis size, he's as dumb and bland as the rest.

Ah well, incest game with lots of sex with beautiful milfs...? Yeah, sure.

[Ep 1-16]

NETORI

It's probably not at all obvious that this game features this rare netori fetish quite extensively. I went into this expecting just another run of the mill incest harem romance, but it has more to offer than the same old shit.

I am giving this a 5* not because it's some perfect game, but because it seems to be delivering exactly what the dev wants in a satisfying way.

This is closer to a fap game than something serious or grounded. BUT, it doesn't throw away all pretense of a story or character arcs. Some are rushed, some are prolonged, but most ramp up pretty fast to get to the good stuff. An incest fap game that actually does have a core plot is already above average imo.

The writing is good enough. Decent dialogues and no grammar issues. The MC is proactive enough to fit the "stealer" role, but he doesn't go full abusive asshole. It's a good balance.

The incest patch is spot on with no issues in people referring to each other awkwardly or grammatically incorrectly due to mindless word replacement. It's sad that I have to even mention this, but so many incest games screw this up.

The models are a bit samey within the game, but they look good.

The sex scenes have pretty fappable dialogues, especially when it delves into the netori talks. The posing in the earlier scenes and animations are a bit... unnatural, but it seemed to get better in the later chapters.

I mean, this is not a profound game and probably more of a 4*, but finding a netori game out of the blue like this was a nice surprise. I suggest letting that beta cousin watch during the early game. It leads to some fun stuff later.

This is the game I waited for years. Definitely one of the few satisfying games here. I wish the mom was a little bit older and chubby, and also it will be better if the game was focused only on relationship with her (without cousins, aunts etc.) but is ok. I hope we'll see more games like this in the future.

Animation design is very novel , with pictures animation can show the 3D effect . The story is very good , the update speed is also ok .
It can be expected that this work will be treasured upon completion .

Game is great, this update only fucking proves it's status. It is twisted and corrupted. I love it. Plenty of taboo, only thing I'm missing is anal but I presume this is yet to come. And even without it the game is amazing. Renders are very nice, there is no non sense animations of some fucking sunrise or driving car which pisses me off in other games which waste resources for that. It is what it should be - porn game. No attempts to make it suddenly cRPG strategy micro economic game. Simple fucking choices, let's go - we are here for sex scenes - and they are plenty. I hope both Nora and Eva got many pregant sex scenes. Pregant threesome would be amazing. I mean I feel OK leaving here 5 stars even if the dude abandons this game as it is so good already that it fully deserves it. Anyway - will see it climb to the top. To be fair it rivals in my opinion all the top games here. Especially this over-rated BAD DIK which fucking wants to suddenly become strategy game like fucking Tropico.

Overview.
Liked:
Renders:5/5
Animations:5/5
Girls:5/5
Intimacy:5/5

Need some more working:
Story: mc still investigating and that feels like children's spy fantasy. Need some authority of mc over the story.

One of the hottest in**ce**st game i have ever played. The build up till the scene was really hot and well done. Renders are odd but in a good way. Animations were top notch too so was the romance which is big plus for me.
If there's a game which i would say is vastly underrated then this one takes the the cake at the top among few others. Interactions were really hot specially those when mc screws with ladies behind their husbands back, which I'd love to see more of those. Really arousing the game that is.

This game has zero chill.

I can respect AVNs not beating around the bush (heh) for years, but what I can't enjoy is when it beats around the bush (heheh) and then goes from nothing to fucking your mom for twelve straight hours.

The same thing happens with the cousin...like you're just playing around then all of a sudden you're inside her, with nothing in between. There's zero seduction with any of the women so far, and the lack of a proper buildup kind of ruins everything for me. And it's worse because the game pretends to be a slow burner, and it is, but then it's like the dev got so into the story that he forgot about the sex scenes and just threw them in there as an afterthought.

The women are all super hot, and for once not all the MILFs are rendered with '70s pubes. The story is sort of interesting, although I 100% know who the actual Hermit is even if the dev is trying to be sneaky. Is it worth the six-ish hours? Not at this time. For pure fapbait it has too much story, for pure story it has too much fapbait along with really bad pacing.
