Ren'Py - Completed - Babysitter [Final v0.2.2b] [T4bbo]

Let me start by saying that I would have given this a 5 right until the ending.

The story kept me interested, the characters were mostly believable (and likeable) and the story was good enough that you became invested.

Also, I followed the "Patreon horny" walkthrough to see if my wrong choices were the cause of what I feel was a fucking shit ending. But nope. I would have put this near the top of my list, but the ending puts it at the bottom which is odd because I enjoyed it alllllll the fucking way there.

Graphics opinions:

I will also say that graphics have pretty much zero weight in my reviews. Im reviewing the story/gameplay, not the models.

I can deal with shitty graphics (lets face it, most of these have ugly faces, or just ugly or insanely unrealistic girls). I will say that the girls faces seemed much worse in the start than they did in the last half. I feel the author was able to fix whatever they were doing wrong.


Example of the face early on (bottom right) and how she looks later (I dont think the face really changed, I think the poses/angles/something changed but whatever it is it helped a lot)

Also last minute edit. The name is HORRIBLE. Im not sure about other countries, but here in the US, "babysitting" is something that is done for children 13 and under. From 14-18, if you have a babysitter, you are a very very bad or untrusted child. So I almost skipped this entirely because the name was very misleading. I dont feel like there is ANY babysitting or babysitters in this story at all.

More Edits: I just talked to some people on discord and found there is apparently a much better ending that I was unable to get. When I had issues making bad choices (that seemed good) I followed the walkthrough (both paths). I will say that my rating stands because even with the walkthrough I was not able to get a path I enjoyed and I should not need a walkthrough in the first place.

2023 edit (replaying):
I didnt mention it before, but the reason I had issues before was that I chose the horny route and not the friendship route. Because of the wording, I did not understand that the "friendship" route is the one where you guys stay together. To me, friendship means no fucking, no dating, etc.

I decided to give this game another go. One thing I am noticing that I didnt really notice before (or maybe I just didnt care) is that starting around day 7, the writing goes way downhill. Or maybe more accurately, the wording. My guess would be that from day 1-7 the dev had an actual native english speaker to translate or fix the text, but after that.... yeah. I can no longer help but read all dialog in a horrible russian accent in my head. I'm not sure I am going to be able to finish it because the crap russian accent my mind is trying to put on all of the dialog is really shitty and does not match any of the characters. Some examples:
"Probably we should change a topic here."
"Christine quickly changes into her gym clothes and takes the bus to meet the Jessica at Haven park."
"The Christine leaves the hot tub..."
"You went to the bedroom to pick up your phone and returned back to the Christine. On the way back you called your friend Tommy..."
"Christine turns around as she realize that they haven't scrubbed their legs yet. At the same time they try to lean forward to wash their own legs what ends in pushing Jessica's breast into the Christine's face."
"Over the music the Christine hears loud crash. She looks over and sees a bunch of people bowling nearby."
"Jessica waves at the Christine and Robert."
"You get the to the balcony while following the Christine and Jessica... but then you stop..."
"You and Christine make out some more. The Christine seems to like it, but you feel like you could be pushing things ahead more."
"Christine quickly changes into her gym clothes and takes the bus to meet the Jessica at Haven park."
"Robert leaves. Christine walks over the Jessica."
"The girls get out of the shower and head to the Jessica's room."
"Silver looks at the Jessica again..."
"Christine puts her arm towards the Jessica face and acts like she's using the force..."
"You grab a beer for you and drink for the Jessica at the bar."
"Later, the Jessisa is getting her hair cut."
"Because probably Robert's girlfriend came there and she started swearing..."
"you are freak into healthy style and you want to be a journalist."
"I go to the bathroom to get the water started. Waiting you there."
"You wave on the Alyssa... she quickly pass by with grin on her face..."


Then, before starting my new playthrough, I went through the walkthrough. And ran into the same issue as before. Very confusing. There is a "Corporate Route" and a "Patreon Route" (which is labelled as a "horny route"). Apparently the Corp route is the friendship route (which again, sounds like you would end as friends, not lovers). The entire walkthrough just gives me a headache. I feel this also could have been better done by someone who was a native english speaker.

I guess it wasn't my cup of tea.

I completed 2 playthroughs, and even after all I felt it could have been a lot , lot better.

If I had to pick a positive thing, I'd say the Jessica character is quite unique. She's the kind of girl that drives any man crazy, in a good way, despite her lacking backstory. Her character is really sexy too.

Now, Christine gets really annoying with her insecurities and how they go very far in the story, depending on which route you choose and the many decisions you may pick along the way.

By the way, I felt like no matter what your choices were, sometimes they didn't lead to a rewarding revelation, a character development, or progressing with any of the girls. And that's my biggest disappointment, the game felt like a clicker game sometimes. Somehow you think it will be worth it and you grind through all the clicking just to find out how quickly things unravel in the final part. Some of the scenes are unnecessarily long and tedious, the characters talk so much you just find yourself barely reading anything.

There are some other girls you can interact with, but you always feel like you'll ruin your progress with poor Christine. There's a couple interesting girls you get to score just once or twice, but I think they deserved a little more development.

Ugly and stiff model, way too much bad end, story is alright, sex scene are alright but nothing too great, the girl are mildly appealing personality wise.

Just an average game with nothing really interesting to offer !

it's not bad I think people would enjoy the story and progress I just might not be the type
However, regardless I still think it is good and well made even if it is a bit of a slow-moving pace the sex scenes are nice if a little basic i think that would be the games biggest problem what you see is what you get but what you get is not bad

A good game with a cool story

Story line:
- the story is quite complex with the NTR involved or not
- the events that unfold keep you hooked and are small deviations from the main story that keep things interesting
- in the end it is such a shame that you can not end solely with Jessica


Models:
- in the first interaction the personal assistant looks weird but after that it received a new rending and it is much better.
- both Christine and Jessica are looking fine. For the role of Christine there are a few
games out there that did a bit of a better job.
- Alyssa is another hot one here

Gameplay:
- at first it was a bit tricky to find the right room in the appartment, but after a while I got it

I didn't make it far into this and someday I might revisit it and make a more detailed review.

The reason I stopped is because I got tired of trap-choices leading to game over. I've never been a fan of offering lewd choices just to end the game, and this does it early and often... and I actually forgave this... but then when I make the reasonable choice of not wanting the girl to visit the office of a surefire predator, she is forced to ride the subway home and deal with another cuck situation... so I go back to avoid that, and take her with me to the meeting and this leads to her being offered a job which I refuse to let her work at, and this leads to game over. I either send her off to a work environment where I know this creep is going to abuse her, and I know he has surveillance to remotely monitor everything about his employees for his own gratification... because I set that up for him... or it's game over.

It was entirely unreasonable that I couldn't just take her home and then go to the meeting. This was a forced NTR situation... take the CEO letch or the douchbag neighbor... there is no third option.

This is all in the first five days. I have read through the reviews and it seemed the NTR was avoidable but it doesn't really feel that way.

I don't understand why anyone would want to be cucked, but to each his own... and avoidable or not, you still have to sit there and listen to the debasing inner thoughts of this creep and still have to sit through his lecherous come-on. It's fine to allow the female characters to turn them down but do we really have to see the entire scene in detail? If you want to include that stuff it should just be "She comes home and starts to tell me about some guy that hit on her..." and then give me the option of hearing about it, encouraging it, or avoiding it all together. But being forced to see the stuff, even when I know I can put an end to it later, just isn't enough to make it palatable.

The story started off good and the setup was decent. The layout of the house was a little wonky but I got used to it fast enough. Don't take this review for a recommend or an avoid... it's just a warning... it appears to be heavy on the NTR, lewd choices are often traps, and some choices can lead to game over even when you're making the right call.

Would have been good but around the 18 points mark it just got far too creepy and getting worse. With friends like that who needs enemies.

This is what I would like to call an NTR friendly game. If that is what you are interested in you may find more enjoyment in this game. Particularly if you happen to be a sociopath or a psychopath (and I don't mean that in a pejorative way, I honestly think those individuals would find more enjoyment here) or with such tendencies. Please note that the rest of my review remains objective and not being biased simply because of the NTR element.

I'm giving this three stars not because the story is bad or because the art is bad, actually it's quite good and I'd recommend giving it a shot. However, some will find it very hard to stomach, the Dev seems to see certain things as acceptable or unavoidable in a healthy relationship and for me well it's a complete turn off. If you're writing or developing for the erotic genre... you want to make things well... erotic or hot. Sadly due to the creep factor all around nevermind in the NTR-ish elements and some elements where I found it hard to keep my suspension of disbelief... this game doesn't feel either erotic or hot.

Re the audio: The music is okay but it really amps up the creep factor... it's not the kind of music I would expect in an erotic game, more of a thriller/horror. It's another no from me.

Does it have potential? No I don't think so. The dev has completely missed the ball park in my view of what makes an erotic game and I don't think the dev does understand healthy relationships at all... I recommend relationship counselling.

I've played the final version (0.2.2b) for some days following some of the paths. I've still to follow some others. I would have gived 4.5 stars if it was possible. This game is very good but to be really excellent it should be fix these things:

- more sense to the points a character has (if you have high stats with Jessica and low with Christine, it's obvious who the MC likes more);
- better endings (they feel rushed);
- better navigation inside the house;
- better NTR management (Christine should cheat when feelings for MC go very low);
- gallery with all scenes (plus locked unseen scenes);
- summary of available endings (reached and still undiscovered ones);
- it misses an official walkthrough for all paths (and it's very needed).

User Interface: 6/10
Animations: 9.5/10
Graphics: 8.5/10
Plot: 7/10
Language and dialogues: 7/10

I feel some characters could have seen more development or scenes (Jessica, the secretary, Silver's wife and daughter). Overall a very good game, just a bit too rushed at the various endings.

Rounding up to 5 stars on this one. Loved the ladies and the mix of sexual options available. Renders are solid, animations are reasonable, and the storyline was intelligible. No grinding involved, which I really appreciate.

Did not play the NTR routes but loved the normal friend and horny routes very much.

It has a simple, but good narrative that appealed to me. Especially, since it somewhat resembles my own life a bit (software developer) with the usual fantasy shift, where you get to play an amateur spy / detective

The start of the game is a bit strange as you get a game over when the girl moves out but you didnt want her there anyway and she is trying to prove she can make it in the city so her moving out as a game over makes no sense at all, she needs you more than you need her.

Horrible navigation with usually no clue what you should be doing.

Trying to play the game without a guide is very very hard as most choices dont do what you think they are going to do, its much better to play through using the walkthrough then going back and changing things after.

The game focues more on story than sex and the story is ok but dull and given it's supposed to be serious its not very believable.

I have to give credit for it being a full game with more than one route but the endings are quick and dissapointing, for example the pregnancy tag is not really deserved as its two images and a quick gif right before the very end(not part of the game) just like in the credits.

Just finished one of the paths of the game. I loved it from the beginning and the end was pretty good.

I cared for Christine and Jessica. My playthrough had a pretty realistic outcome even if it was not what I wanted. Plenty replay value.

Animations of this game is probably the best IMO on this site. Yes, there are other games (City of broken dreams, Timestamps, Milfy city etc.) with very good animations. But the animation in this one was spectacular. The physics of the boobs, the speed and action of the body movements during sex were perfect.

So for me

Characters: 8/10 Christine and Jessica were pretty special. Plenty of other side character and all of them good.
Story: 7/10 Story were solid and enjoyable
Sex scenes : 9/10 Very good and very erotic.
Animation: 10/10 Pretty much perfect.
Replay ability: 9/10 Quite a few paths as far as I know


All and all, very good and enjoyable. Tons of quantity, tons of sex etc.

Recommended.

Babysitter is a fairly boring and mundane game with an extremely creepy MC that never seems to get recognized as such. There's many issues with the game, from nonexistent music/ambiance that often makes every scene feel dead, mundane writing that felt so filler-y, and character models that are less than great. Overall, the story is alright with you having admittedly many paths to take which is great, the issue arises when you actually sit through the monotony of these paths and the boring writing that attacks you from the first scene. I really think the author was going for an emotional romantic love story, but not only can I not take that seriously when the main character is a piece of shit that knowingly sells spyware to a creep without a care, but also spies on his actual love interests. Beyond that the writing could be passable if there was some kind of consistent soundtrack (copyright free is fine, just something), but there are long stretches of horribly boring dialogue and stick thin characters doing nothing of substance. In the end Its not dreadful, and many people clearly got value from this, but it has too many issues to get an average score.

Your niece needs a place to stay while she looks for work in the city. Guess who she's staying with? Bingo, it's you!


The story sounds very generic. Luckily there's more depth to it than that. Besides "babysitting" there other plots involved. And there's heavy branching, meaning some choices have a drastic impact on where the story goes and how people react.

The characters are generally fleshed out. With the niece the relationship and tension is built before it gets porny. I like that. When a character doesn't act like a one-dimensional sex doll I find it easier to relate to them. I even liked some of the antagonists to a degree. Although basically evil, they're not completely without charm. Except for Paul, that dude's a useless yahoo.

The sex scenes are okay. The love route I played had tons of lovey-dovey foreplay. I'm guessing on the horny route it might be more of an explosive rush kind of thing.


After the story had delivered most of its punches I felt it slightly outstayed its welcome. But all in all this is pretty good!

I fell for "babysitter" name, I thought it would be short and cheesy game. Kudos to creator for proving me wrong. I loved character development. I actually cared about, hated some characters. When credit hit, I got sad that I couldn't play more of it. I wanted more but it already finished.

Story starts cheesy but got interesting
Same goes for characters, with dilemma in it.
I had to use "walkthrough" cause I don't like NTR stuff. (Being cheated once hit you hard I guess)

Overall it's good and fun adventure, I suggest anyone to play this gem.

Had no problem in MW2 killing all the civilians in the airport mission but man... i feel like a scumbag cheating on Christine. That is enough for me to give 5 stars.

Besides this all i could see were minor flaws:
- mapping inside your home is a torture at the beginning - felt like a maze
-There are minor spelling errors but so far, i only saw a handful and they looked more like typos
-There are 2 paths in the walkthrough as example but for me it felt like if you mix them to much, you sometimes get weird results since i guess the game got confused

The last one is mid to major:
- Often it felt like you have to take one route to get the (only?) good ending:
SPOILER!!! since tool didnt work:


AFAIK there is just one (true) happy ending. One with her but cheating on her and she accepts it (half-good?) One were she leaves you including an abortion and the rest are NTR-endings.

TLDR: One of the best games i played so far and i rly hope, the dev will make another game!

This VN was really fun. The story moved well, there weren't any grindy elements, and the renders were pretty amazing. The name choice is a little odd considering the word comes up in the story only a couple of times as a throwaway descriptor of what you were doing and felt more like a title drop than anything... but that really doesn't speak to the quality of the work, so whatever. Excellent VN; might run through it multiple times.

This one was ultimately better than I was expecting. It has multiple endings, though more like two main endings with variations to each which can include NTR. I did not pursue these endings so I can't speak to their quality.

The story was more lengthy-feeling than I see with games like this, and I enjoyed the dialogue with all the characters who I thought were quite well designed.

The two main paths are "friendly" and "horny" (or I think more accurately "love" and "lust" though they are referred to as the former in game files) paths, based on a point system for those two stats respectively. Choices you make raise/lower those points at certain times and ultimately drive the path you're on. These paths have very different endings and personally I thought the Friend one was the best option.

The lewd scenes were well done as well, though some had some questionable lighting IMO.

The only things that are a mark against this game is that while the choice/path system seems relatively in-depth, it's very hard to determine what path you're taking when, and what the choices mean sometimes. There isn't any indication of important choices except one instance - which as far as I could tell had no actual effect. Even with skipping there's a lot of story to blast through again if you felt you made a wrong choice somewhere, and the walkthrough provided is IMO not very comprehensive.

The other is that for as decent as the story was, the ending was quite rushed. It definitely felt like there was considerably more game to play, story to learn, and maybe endings to unlock after the Spin the Bottle segment, but it just goes into a series of summary slides instead, which is disappointing. I don't know anything about the circumstances of the developer on this game but at least it HAS an ending, instead of being dropped. FWIW I did enjoy the ending I happened to get, despite it not being quite what I was hoping for.

Overall, worth a play, but I very much recommend a walkthrough - though you may have to find or make an easier-to-decipher version than the "official" one.

Best game of all games I tried so far.

There are several outcomes, so it's worth to play it more then one time.
Especially the NTR scenes/routes are gold.

The dialogoues are written well and enjoyous. I also likes the characters a lot, I found all of them well designed.

Sometimes the requirements of points to fullfill show specific scenes are a bit too strict, so it is difficult to unlock some scenes without following the walkthrough.

There are some scenes which are slightly more rough than in many other games, but just slightly.

This is my review about the game Babysitter, developed by T4bbo at its Final version

• The renders are great and the character models have a beautiful design. There are some animations and they are decent too.
• The gameplay is based on decisions with a point system (Friendship Points and Horny Points). Your decisions define the route (Corporation, Patreon, Cuckold, or NTR) you want to play.
• The story is good with a coherent narrative, the characters have their own charm, the dialogues are natural and well-written, and elements like humor, drama, and eroticism have an accurate dosage.
• The sex scenes are hot and fit pretty well in the narrative, and their narration helps the immersion.

Great game for all gamers that like a solid and enjoyable adult visual novel
