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

This game has really grown over the last few updates.
The beginning was a real slowburn, but unlike other games (ahem DF comes to mind), this one knows when to start to deliver.
I can totally live with how far 0.1.1 went and look forward to how the story with Christine develops.

I know some decisions on the horny path are dangerous in terms of NTR, but the friendship path at least, it never went beyond Jessica dancing with BBC guy aka Robert.

An insteresting game has an amazing story to it keeps you hooked up from the begining to the very end you will enjoy every minute of this game i highly recommend this game to those people who are looking for wonderfull quality great story and just overall an incredible game. Please support the creator on patreon cause he really deserves it for creating such a touching story. You all will be thinking of this game even when it ends cause it's just so catchy an interesting that keeps you interested in it. I personally wanna thank wynin for adding this game here cause it's just an amazing game it left me stunned. Thank you very much !!

Very good game.

Story is very well done so far.
The progress of the relationship between protagonist and niece feels real, so I actually got really interested in them.

It's not some typical spicy porn, where people just want to fuck. This has depth, with hot moments, but also a decent amount of drama and also just real life stuff. That makes it even more realistic.

Side characters have depth, too. I have actually become interested in them as well.

Different stuff is always happening, no grinding, no repetitions. And that with good pacing.

Choices actually matter (or at least they feel like they matter)

This game has it all; Both subtle and non-subtle erotics, familiar and unfamiliar love, good graphics, good writing (with proper spelling), non-linear storyline with different outcome, and more. This game is truly something that can "explode your load" with a well made storyline and character build up. One of the few games on Patreon I recommend to support!

Challenging character development and great looking characters. The MC has some tough competition out there. Hope he can play his cards right. A lot of twist and turns in the story all revolving back to an person you don't know is the master at playing the game.

This game is one of my 2 favorites at this time, because it has a level of interactivity and discover-ability of content that sets it apart from the "auto play and read" games that are in abundance. The current release has about 10 in-game days to play out, and you can set your relationships up in vastly different ways over this time-span.

I played and replayed this game about 4-5 times when I first downloaded it, because you really can uncover different scenes and situations based on different choices.

With regards to the 1 negative review below, I will say you really only have to "choose your words" in the first few days, and it's for a really sensible reason. While the game is called Babysitter, you play the uncle of your niece. The dev's approach on teaching the player that you can't go full out when you just start getting to know her is very smart and adds a degree of realistic consequence to how you set up your gameplay. And it makes testing the waters with her that much more exciting.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.0.8 updated...

(01/04/2018 - Original Review - v0.0.8)

So far I'm actually enjoying this visual novel/game... It isn't the best, as it has a couple issues, but it's not bad either... Also, a downside is that, it is yet another Family Sex themed VN/game...

The visuals for the characters are pretty good, although just slightly grainy, which is probably due to picture file compression... Same goes for the backgrounds, although I did notice some re-hashed backdrops that I've seen in many other visual novel/games, probably because they came from the same source... Navigation in the house was alright, especially with the highly visible buttons at the top... The boxes for the story were also unique and creative...

The script for the most part had few flaws, but as it got into the last few game days I noticed some tiny amounts of broken English and a few spelling/grammar errors... Probably just needs another once over for proofreading... The plot itself revolves around a male protagonist, who is self employed, who's niece is sent to live with him by his sister... A friend of hers quickly comes into the story, and after that you read about the their lives and interactions... The niece gets a job with one of the uncles clients, although the boss is a shady womanizer, who the uncle tries to help protect her from... The niece's friend runs a webcam sight which she makes her money with, and the uncle gets to spy on both of the girls laptop cameras... There are a few other sub-plots that play out, with eventually the current content ending with all of them visiting a club... Obviously the uncle has feelings for his niece, and there is the option for the same with her friend... This VN/game is still early into it's development, but has a decent amount of content thus far... Not as much erotic content as in some erotic VN/games, but so far it's been well balanced... Which I prefer, because throwing in too much, starts to detract from the story... And so far it has a decent amount of deep and meaningful story, mixed in with the occasional erotic scene/event...

The biggest issue I really ran into with this VN/game, is that it has lots of choice punishment "dead ends"... Especially early on... I really hate it when author/s do this in erotic visual novels, because it then forces the readers/players to have to save game every couple minutes for fear of a bad choice, that may not always be obvious... I started getting tired of having to start over and/or save/load game all the time... I found it practically necessary to download and use the Walkthrough to stop that non-sense and experience the content like a normal person... And I did enjoy the content...

Overall, I think this visual novel/game shows a lot of promise, and the only current recommendation is to get arid of the player punishment "dead ends"... I really hope they keep the good balance of story telling along with the erotic scenes, which is it's current trend... And I look forward to seeing further development of this VN/game...

(04/01/2018 - Review Update - v0.1.1)

Well it's been almost 3 months since I last played this VN/Game... The new content is pretty good... I'm not much a fan of having to work around the ever looming NTR nonsense, but the love/romance part of the story is keeping me playing/reading... The visuals and story telling is pretty on-par with prior content... The karaoke event was unique and creative... And not just the erotic part...

My only qualm is that if you really want to avidly avoid the NTR crap, you have to play with a walk through, so you know when to make the choices that will avoid Mr. Silver's plans and any other male character that aggressively goes after Christine and other women the protagonist has an interest in... Which, even though you avoid it once or more, it keeps rolling around trying to worm it's way back into the story, which does become somewhat annoying... I usually avidly avoid any VN/Game that has NTR in it, but it is avoidable so far in this one... It's just not always obvious when it's avoidable, which pretty much requires a walkthrough or guide to know when to avoid it... Which, all in all, is probably why I can not give this VN/Game 5 stars... Which is a shame...

All in all, the game is taking a bit to develop new content, but it's decent content when it does get released... I will most likely wait a while before revisiting this VN/Game, due to it's slow development, to give it enough time to grow more than it has this go around... I liked the new content, but I don't like waiting that long for content that on average should take half that time... And I know that each developer has their own development speeds... Hence why I'll give it a lot more time before revisiting again, so I can experience a lot more new content next play through, several versions down the line...

Excellent game with good renders. At least 3 branching paths so far...

Graphics - 5/5
Story - 5/5 I enjoy the build up with the various girls... and they don't all drop their panties at the drop of a hat. Excellent job so far!!

A very good game, it is far from advanced, but it shows a lot of ways, a lot of events, a lot of perversions. I like a lot of deisign and modeling girls. Develop it takes a lot of care in the images. It's very pleasant to evolve in the game.

If you like porn games that punish you for having sex then this is the game for you.

At the slightest indication of interest in any character you get a game over. Writing is terrible. Characters act either like bimbos (they won't have sex with you of course you are the only one not getting any) or morons (look I'll either model on the internet or work for that creepy old guy who wants to touch me) wondering why you would want to have sex with any of them in the first place.

There isn't really any plot MC just seems to exist. He eats. He craps. He creeps. There is no SN. No big baddie. Just the everyday life of a cuck

Development has been super slow. They say it's porn with a plot well I don't see much plot and there is even less porn. Avoid

Edit: Newer versions have focused almost exclusively on sexual content scene in question has been rewrote. Review has been edited to reflect the fact it is now a porn game

this game is does a great job with a believable story but also intresting that has 2 paths in 0,05 version

the models are great and their character also believable and realistic , and its up to the MC to finger out smart ways to get what he wants

very interesting the game kinda slow, but it is what makes it interesting, hoping for more update, no need for more girls, but it helps, the story is nice, hoping for the relationship to go both ways, not just the MC trying hard while the girls just don't care
