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

My review will sound harsh but it's because I have high expectations when it comes to this kind of games and I have to say that I've found this one utterly boring.

Even though the story itself sounded kinda interesting, the plot is rather uninteresting. This is just a Meet & Fuck with a so-called background feature

Unfortunately, the characters do not have any distinct personality and it is difficult to get really attached to any of the protagonist.
The MC is a manipulative jerk and there is no valid reason to understand his behavior...other than his hornyness.

The problem is due to a writing that sorely lacks of inspiration and the explanation of situations are often far-fetched (eg: micro penis + lack of testosterone = unable to procreate ...) What the fuck ?!
And all the housewives are neglected by their husbands....how convenient....

Although the characters have good renderers, all the young girls are skinny and the MILFs have almost the same luscious shapes in the right places.
The sex scenes are pretty hot, hence the thrid the stars.

I enjoyed this game. What makes it stand out is the aspect that the protagonist loves to bangs housewives behind their husbands' backs, which is a cool setting. The plot with the cousin (or childhood friend) with her younger friends is a nice touch for a little variety.

That being said, don't expect a super developed plot. The women pretty much jump in the MC's cock with little to no hesitation. The mafia subplot feels a bit unnecessary, it's pretty much there just as an excuse for sort of conflict for the protagonist. The sex scenes could use some more variety as well (lots of doggy styles).

Still, I recommend this game. Download the harem/walkthrough mod by Zoey Harem as well, and the incest patch, if you're into this sort of thing.

There are tons of sex scenes and they are HOT!
The story and the situation is really nothing new or serious. We've seen it in many other games. But what makes this game different from other VN's is the artwork.
Animations are smooth
Characters are beautiful
a solid 3/5

Beautiful art. Fast paced story.
Enjoyed re-playing to try the various paths. I've played a few games of this type and while this follows some of the usual tropes it is still a fun game.
I hate too many male characters but they are okay in this game.
Looking forward to Nora's scenes

1. The game has amazingly vivid and beautiful art.
2. Good story-line keeps me focus on the dialogues in the whole game.
3. The walkthrough mod of this game is so useful that I have never found in the other games.

I think this game deserves a 5/5 stars. There are two main reasons for this score:
1) The renders of the female characters are really good. You immediately find yourself eager to see some action involving these beautiful women, and it doesn't take long to be satisfied under that point of view.. So that brings up the second reason.
2) The story is very plain, more being focused on the sexual content rather than characters development and the plot, that slips into the background. I've played many games so far, and I could define myself a fan of catching stories and deep characters insight. In this case though, the creator did a good job by making a story filled with spicy and hot moments while not giving the player frustration for a bad or dull writing. It's simple but effective and it works just fine.

There is for sure some space for improvements, it could be useful a gallery feature to replay the scene and maybe more detailed locations which look, at this state of works, a bit anonymous.

Recent update 1-10
Two notable sex scenes that are important for the "plot". No Lily to say the least. I am a fan of games that have fleshed out home environment. Especially if they have 3 women in the house. 3 males with MC included. It's a shame not t o show their "family" situations in more detail. Besides that Lily told to be fucked daily. After hearing something like that I was naive enough to expect it to be daily occurence.

This game is a fap material. There is almost no notable plot. It exist just to justify sex scenes. Graphic at first looked ugly but it grew on me. Now I like it. There are few issuses. Like how plain most of the house is. It looks almost empty. Like there are no other humans alive.

Cons:
- no free roam
- almost no plot
- rookie graphic designer as a dev
- almost no emotions of many characters. Especially Lily
- empty home, there is almost no life in it.
- no day cycle to speak of
- short days.. too short. Few 15 minute events that gives fast fap..

Now lets go to pros of the game
- nice renders of most females in the game, basically they are to be hot but somewhat realistic.
- ESPECIALLY GOOD EROTIC MOMENTS.. which are from my point of view the only saving grace of this game. Otherwise it would be another to the pile of incest games that have no substance to them.

My hopes: I hope that dev will drop down Mafia plot line or at least dial it down to some thugs and jealous ex-es. Besides that I root for more fleshed out "family" time. As in more events that will give Us some background info about girls in "our" lives. Besides that I keep my fingers crossed for free roam and some more scenes that we can revisit. Scene gallery is a must. Besides that this game have enough material to work on without Mafia Plotline. When dev can give Us longer days with more content. Then he could add side plotlines.

Generally its a good starting point for rookie dev.

I have to say that I love this game!
Especially character models, Mom looks so freaking great, I haven't seen such a great character in a while, maybe even since Dreams of Desire I played a year ago. Can't wait to actually dig inside.
Also love Aunt Eva, couldn't wait to fuck her in game, the thirst became so real, but from day one I was sure it would be possible even if she said no in early stages, loved the way how she was cock hungry!
I gotta say I don't really care about Lily, nor Cody, they're not really my thing, but Lily's friend Chloe, damn I really dig her, she's quite sexual maniac with amazing looks. Only wish her mom, Sophia had such looks like she did, cause everything else is quite the same and I really fancy it, maybe a mother-daughter threesome is coming soon, yeah?
Optional stories are so far also great, I kind of actually felt sad when I impregnated Janet first time, that I decided not to do it again, can't wait for the outcome of it.
Only thing I would also like as an addition is scene selection at main menu, because there're so many sexual interactions and I'm type of player who saves every and each, so now I have a bunch of saves already.
Overall amazing work, thank you for giving us opportunity to play this game <3!

Jesus it's fucking perfect game. I wish all incest games will be like this. No fucking bullshit with superpower or super large 30cm dick. Just natral lust and hottest milfs. Im in love. Dont know what to add, its prefect game for me. I wish to luck devoloer to the future.

I really enjoyed playing through this Story!

Played with the Patch ( Of Course )

Models are good and have different shapes,.. Excellent
Story pacing and tone are well done and Flows smoothly.

Character Personalities are very diverse ...Excellent!!

Keep up the fantastic progress ...

This review is inclusive of Ep. 9.

tl/dr: Overall this is an OK game so long as you accept the somewhat anemic story and you enjoy the art style.

The story that shapes this game is probably the weakest part of this title. It's not different or clever. This is a game that is clearly designed to be porn first, story second. I realize that is considered a positive thing for some gamers and if you like that, then you'll have no issues with this game. It definitely delivers on the porn front. Regardless, this story doesn't hold up well if you're not playing with the incest patch. As so often happens with a game like this, the angst the MC feels for "the maid" or "your roommate" feels bizarre.

The artwork and animation is fine, if you like this art style. Check out the art samples before playing. The art is oversaturated and a bit cartoon-like. That, however, is intentional, it's not because the author is bad at rendering content.

If you enjoy harem incest games and don't mind a very weak story, this is certainly worth checking out.

I like it a lot. Really amazing renders and well designed characters also their personalities. Expecting more content soon as I'm really keen on it because this games are a really good way to spend time on this pandemic.

Originally played this game in during its earlier stage and it didn't draw me in. But I gave it another chance and I am glad I did. I had fun playing this. Everything progressed nicely in my opinion. The characters look great. And hints of future events did well to keep my interest. Best of luck to the developer(s) of this game.

I'm a history guy, not a fap guy, i mean, if the game has a good amount of sex scenes and a good history it's perfect, but i prefer much more a game with good history than a game with just meaningless sex, and this game has a great potential, but the EP's are too short, i mean, 8 ep's and just 2h30/ 3h of gameplay isn't that much, it doesn't develop much well the characters and the history, so u don't really get emphaty with them, it has sexual content in every episode, but as i just said, it's meaningless, you don't get happy like "OMG i'm finally gonna fuck her brains out" it's just like "yeah, okay" and the moanings are so damn cringe lol. So if you are looking for a quick fap with some hot girls and milfs than this game is great, but if you are just like me and like to see the relationship developing, than this game isn't really that good, i mean, i usually start supporting on patreon if i like the game, but seeing that it's has been more than 1 year when it was first released, and got just 3 hours of gameplay, it doesn't worth it.

The game is nice and is progressing in a good way since the 1st release. Renders are great but the only shortcoming is that the episodes are short. Longer episodes at this point would be appreciated since the game gets monthly updates but maybe the dev is trying his best so wont deduct a star for it.

Loved the game. Can't wait to see more of it.

I liked that there is more to the game than just sleeping around, but will reserve judgement on that as the game evolves.

The animations are great. Saw others complaining about the skin tones of the models, but I don't mind that. I think they're hot!

Nice game.

Animations 5/5
Story 5/5
Characters 5/5
Renders 4/5

The writing in this game is on point. The dialog feels very natural and combined with the music, creates a very relaxing atmosphere. I've only encountered writing of this caliber in one other game, Light of My Life, with Monster Slums! at a close third to these two games. Is the lewd content in this game heavy? Yea. Do I care? No, because it's well written.

The animations are very smooth and I'd easily give the graphics and renders a 4-star minimum. This is an incest game, but the pre-incest patch roles are very well written, which is great for me since I'm not into Incest. It's very easy to lose track of time in this game, and I haven't felt the need to skip any of the dialog at all after 1 hour of play, which I think is great.

I'd highly recommend a playthrough.

I love this game so much!!
character is so good I love milf body that big ass is awesome!! Aunt big ass so good!
Story is good I love milf initiative love mc, not like other game mc blackmail milf
Make more milf I like this game milf character

It's a very good game overall:
- the characters are interesting and the graphics are successful.
- the scenes are very well chosen and the animation are also successful.
- the game is rich in content
- it's a good idea to implement the walktought in the game.
- The story is consistent from start to finish.

negative point :
- The CG could be more better

I didn't know what to expect at first when I played Away From Home, the renders are somewhat different from the status quo but they grew on me and I love it now. I love how natural the women bodies look, not overly bimbo-ized like some games this is definitely a nice touch. I personally love Ava's ass, it's perfect. Something about women and tan lines or bikini lines is hot to me. The story is still developing obviously but so far so good. The sex scenes have been steamy so far it gives you the option to change views during sex, which I consider a major plus. Overall I like this game, giving it 3 stars doesn't seem legit or fair to me so... 4 stars it is. I wish the Mods or Staff or whoever changes it so half stars can be implemented because that's a big deal to me.
