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

My initial thoughts about this game were terrible. Mostly because the character models looked hilariously bad. They looked like someone had smeared shit over the default models. However, the story somewhat hooked me and I saw the game progress and develop in an amazing way. The models began to get better and even added 30fps smooth animations near the mid-game. That was honestly amazing. Seeing such games develop in such a neat really shows that the dev is willing to learn and improve. I can tell that this game was a huge passion project and not just a one-off. The plot was also amazing. It didn't manage to get boring or overwhelming, it has just the perfect mix of comedy and seriousness. Every character's backstory and plot were ironed out perfectly. In conclusion, I would give this game a 10/10.

to make it short im not really a big fan of a game that doesn't have more models & side characters .. because you wont have much more choices .. you only gonna have to stick to these 2 characters you got & to the same few faces over & over the whole game .. and like it or not .. you gonna have to fuck them or else .. you got nothing & game over ( i mean why there's no x scene with the foxy waitress in the pool ? or the waitress in the sushi restaurant ? or even with Julia ? what if the players actually liked them even more than the 2 main girls ) maybe if the dev made an x scene to them it might give some wet vibe to this dry game.

so the story is all about Christine which suppose to be the MC's niece .. and Jessica the friend of Jane & Erica .. and you keep roaming around them again and again for 2 days and maybe until the end of the game hoping you will have sex with them .. its just a waste of time for me i would of have more side characters to entertain me .. and have more sex content this whole time beside watching chris & jess .. but you wont find much .. besides the misleading title of the game .. and even if the Dev meant that the "uncle" is babysitting the niece .. then let me tell you .. the uncle is actually doing a horrible job in it .. and i definitely wouldn't call a teenager in a high school who opens her legs to her uncle " are still a baby " that's simply an insult to babies lol

there's also some weird things i find in the story it self .. and i actually liked christene in the beginning but as the story goes on .. i started to turn off about her .. she really acts like she has a .. problem .. she keeps contradicting her self always .. and im not really sure if that's a mistake from the Dev .. or if its actually her true behavior .. such as :

1- i understand that she was so impressed by the fat ass of Jessica because chris doesn't have any .. then why in the world after a minute .. she will be jealous of Jessica for not having any fat in her body ??? for god sake she was just impressed by Jessica's fat ass from awhile ago .. that doesn't make any sense .. in fact christine is actually more skinnier than Jessica .. she doesn't have fat nor meat .. chris is totally just a skeleton girl walking .. so there's nothing to be jealous about.

2- when Jessica touches & squeeze the boobs & ass of chris in the shower .. then she gives her a sexy lingerie ( in a freaking girls sleep over ) chris was totally fine with all that ,, ( yea .. as if that wasn't creepy as fuck & a huge red flag at all ) .. yet when her ex BF & the poor guy in the train almost did the exact same creepy action by only trying to touch her boobs .. she freaked out with both of them as if its the end of the world .. how is that any different ?? why is it creepy when it comes to the BF .. but not creepy with Jessica ? that is some double standard shit .. Jess was even more creepier at that day .. Chris should of freaked out with the 3 of them .. if she is really fair & honest

3- she claims that she is not into Robert .. yet she rides the car with him to the gym .. & she gives him all her info , number , website & address !!! why didn't she give him some breast milk as well for a bonus .. to show him how much she dislike him ?

4- she said that she is a vegan yet she eats eggs & sausages .. and yea .. she loves sushi to . ( and who knows .. she might be sucking & drinking blood secretly in the midnight when the moon is complete .. if that's the case ).

5- she dislikes wearing a short clothes when Jessica chooses for her the interview dress .. yet she walks around wearing shorts all the time .. even inside home & out .. she even sits with her uncle wearing a babydoll before they get in to that secret relation .. what a real shy girl.

and the list goes on & on .. so that shows me that christine is such a 2 face liar .. and she pretends that she don't like things yet she like it at the same time .. you either like fat or you don't .. you either like ur boobs being touched or you don't .. you just cannot be both at the same time .. that's fucked up .. i know that most of the girls in real life they say things & they do the opposite .. but Chris here is even more confusing.

and why the Dev is so obsessed in making jess kissing chris ?? he kept pushing this idea 3 times in ( true or dare ) & i kept avoiding it every time .. so he just forced it in the 4rth time as its the only choice left ?? are you kidding me .. im not sure its because of ( the Dev or the mod ) .. but im not interested in turning chris into a lesbian like jess .. we already have enough lesbians & bi around in this game .. at least keep one of them straight .. and after all the ( avoiding kissess choices i made ) Jessica still keeps pushing it again in the ( Cat woman stream ) .. even the creepiest guy in the world he wont behave like that during yoga stream .. i don't know which part of ( im not a Bi ) that Jessica or the Dev didn't understand ?? why is there a sexual choices if its not effecting !!!!

and im not gonna talk about the narrator who still keeps describing what you can see with your own eyes in the screen .. as if we are blind players or something ( she bends over infront of you - he lean his hand in the table - she gives you a seductive look - he smokes his expansive cigar ) .. narrator should pop up once in a while to explain the characters feeling , thinking , or explaining off camera story .. but not describing the visual scene that is front of your eyes .. it will cost alot of extra unnecessary reading .. & that's a cheep trick to streatch the game .. i actually understand the whole story by skipping the narrator .. & reading only the conversations with the visual scenes.

and ill not talk also about the unnecessary repeating scene of the garage and stuff in the map .. lets say thanks to the mod .. but you got the picture

i actually enjoyed the ( yacht ) even only .. it was more of an adventure & it felt like totally a different game .. with more side characters with us in 1 place & jumping from new girls talking to other boys talking & rich content .. but it will not take long until you Finnish that event & back again to the same dry vibe , lonely routine you was doing before ..
there was a second event i was excited about at first .. which is the ( VIP club ) with Robert .. but you will soon notice that it was just a false hope .. & the club is actually empty .. & your still stuck with these 4 characters & 1 bar tender who is nagging you .. nothing else .. there's no new girls or characters to spice things up .. even silver is not gonna join ..

any way im glad the new game that the Dev is working on now .. he fixed most of these problems and its actually way better & a great game

I played friendship route (vanilla-romance path) and I must say it was pretty good, like a dating sim sometimes, Chris is adorable. Her transformation into a GF was pretty natural. The story is also quite interesting and engaging.
Also I used WT to avoid even slightest possibility of any NTR stuff, so I didn't have any problems with it either.
The only bothering thing (thingy I'd say) - dialogues, they are a bit weird sometimes, I understand that it is a sandbox and mostly dialogues are universal, but man. For example there is a scene when you can get a 3some with Chris and Jess, but also you can reject 3some after Chris gives you a deepthroat (I wanted Chris solo only ending). And if you didn't have 3some dialogues later in the car are weird, like as if you had 3some - Chris askes if MC liked and MC says - yah I loved it, I even dreamed about it. What has he dreaming about? - deepthroat? Again, I understand that it is sandbox and usually dialogues are weird in a game, but not that weird.
Or a moment in Veruca's house - we delete Chris's photos from PC but MC says it's Jess, tha's just a mistake I guess. Anyways there were quite a few of such confusing moments with dialogues, but it's bearable I guess.
Also True or Dare games were a bit annoying cause you are locked with a few choices only to ask, especially on the yacht (kiss or get drinks naked).
There are consequences for cheating on Friendship path (cause you are kinda dating) but there is still plenty of fuck (during second half of the game): you can fuck Veruca twice and get her pregnant, Jess - twice (on the yacht and in the end on the trip), Sonya - once in the end.

I got two endings eventually:
1) Chris solo ending
2) Chris+Jess ending
The latter one feels even more natural if you have a 3some and cheated on Chris with Jess. it is like everything adds up in the end.

Some hot scenes and characters, but tedious controls and options. Lots of boring filler content and actions required, especially at the start,

There are so many hidden ramifications - playing this with a walkthrough is a must IMO.

This game has so many different rotes and interactions, definitely one of my favorites here. The models look pretty good, It has a nice buildup and decent writing and I like the interface and how you navigate inside the house to unlock different scenes. Most importantly, the game is finished. I'll probably check the other games from this dev; good stuff.

Its good and completed.

On the NTR thing, if you dont bang your niece you will get cucked. There is no wholesome platonic path nah instead if you dont give her the D some black dude will. Kinda odd. Also if you bang the black hair girl but not your niece for some reason the black hair girl will still berate you for getting cucked like what the hell lady. It is not cucked to not have sex with your niece like seriously this expectation you are setting on me is rather harsh.

In short you must have sex with your niece this is the rules there is no way around it. Kinda based

This is for the final version (v0.2.2b)

Holy crap this game is bad.
Like, the writing is stilted with random visual effects all over the place like someone discovered they have an effects tab and decided to use all of them, the default audio setting is so loud that it nearly blew out my speakers, and navigating through the apartment is unnecessarily difficult because there's arrows at the top that say where they will take you, but then there's a million unlabelled icons you can click and interact with to go to places you NEED to get to with no indicator as to what you are supposed to do or where you are supposed to go.
This is literally just in the first five minutes of playing the game.

If you want to spend a stupid amount of time randomly clicking every icon on the screen, then be my guest, but since this game is "completed" (aka: dead and abandoned) I would recommend avoiding this headache and play something with at least a tiny iota of direction.

If you're into NTR it's probably a good choice for subject matter. Game has the classic symptom of women not being real people, so even if you avoid NTR one of the main women tries constantly to cuck you even when resisted by both of the other two characters.

One of my pet peeves is VNs that mistake detail and depth of storytelling for showing you every single breakfast the characters have etc. This is on full display for a lot of this game and I find it very tedious. For what I was looking for, this game didn't particularly do anything well.

Despite having bad endings this is still one of unique games here , it's realistic aproach which may not be palatable to everyone , otherwise game would get much better rating overall.

Story that doesn't use popular formula always is refreshing and there is quite a lot aspect of game following it , there are many determining choices that can affect endings, I think this is the way every game should be.

Sometimes it can be complicated to know in which path MC is , otherwise Babysitter is an exceptional game.

I have tried to play this game several times and just can't get into it, but remember, 3 stars is average so nothing wrong with it, but nothing that really wows me.

The renders and dialogue are good and even the story is solid. I like the NTR aspects of it and the girls are all attractive. I just get frustrated in the beginning by making choices that cause the game to end. I tried to stay polite with the niece and was never rude to her, but I still got the "Stop being as ass" ending. I don't mind having early endings but these endings are basically "You are not making the choices the dev wants you to make" and it makes me wonder why there are choices at all. I mean, what's the point? If the dev wants the story to go a certain way, then write make it a kinetic novel. Why bother with choices at all?

Don't misunderstand, the dev is talented and am looking forward to seeing what they do in the future, and there were parts in this game I really loved, but at the end of the day, I can't give it more than an average rating.

A solid game. The NTR route is brutal and that is why I rate this game with 4 stars instead of 3.

Jessica is trouble and one of the hottest characters I have ever seen.

The interface is a bit obsolete.

A fellow reviewer below writes: "the game traps you with choices that seem right and then turn out to be wrong for a reason you can't foresee. So you're grinding HOURS. "

I can't help but wonder if this person didn't play the game for very long. Did he send his girlfriend away at the hottub? Did he say she should dress slutty at work?

I bring this up not to bash the other reviewer but to exemplify just how BROAD this game is. I wasnt even a fan going in of the whole uncle/whatever have you scenario, but there are so many paths you can go down and things you can do, that's one of its main strengths.

Do you want a camgirl girlfriend?
Do you want a sexy office girl who needs your help to bring down her evil boss?

Theres many many ways to play this!

Artwork is hit or miss, some of the renders look fantastic, others look dated, which makes sense for its age.

Animations, when present, are quite good.

Dialogue is strong, and I didn't find myself doing any double takes at poor translations or things that come up in other games - all the idioms feel right, either this is very well polished by translators or writer is exceptional in english.

Sound/music are good, not excellent, as some games with custom soundtracks, but enough to get you lost in the moment.

Overall I'd give this a 4.5/5, if only because it's lacking that certain je ne sais quoi I see in most 5 star games, but halfs arent available, so I rounded up. If you're at all curious, download this, it's hefty and won't leave you disappointed in yet another 20 minute "concept art/abandoned" project.

It just feels like the dev got tired of the game and wrote a quick ending. It had its good points, but just didn't really live up to its potential. There was a trip with Chris's mom and I thought it would have been a good idea if she got morning sickness in front of her mom. Then there is the fact that you have raw sex with just about every female you meet multiple times and only 2 get pregnant. Then you end up with 2 girls, in the end, one of which isn't one that gets pregnant. I think this is due to the fact that the game was rushed to the end and just left a sour taste in your mouth. There are a lot of things that could have been better, but just didn't really reach a great game.

I hope many devs who are starting out don't take this game as a reference. I know it's completed from over 2 years ago, but I had played it a long time ago when it was still in development. My surprise was that this game ended much worse than expected with bad gameplay that doesn't give you enough freedom and you don't feel like you're manipulating Christine at home. You have the option to hide your clothes, like nightgown, panties, bra but this will give you a negative impact with Christine and you will also lose some content.

Open relationships with Sonya and Jessica are bad because there is no extension on them, or rather, just Jessica. The game also has a purposeful NTR that makes you let Christine go Mr. Silver or Robert, but the two characters have the same scenes with each other. Is it worth going down this path? no, it was a waste of time for the dev to build this.

I arrived at the content where I left off and I see that the MC invites Monica to spend the holidays with them (Christine and Jessica), the content presented is of low sexual quality, you can see the dev's unwillingness to want to end his game for good . There's also some content after that and then the long-awaited ending, which is two. Anyway, this game is very good but at the same time bad, because there are many things in the gameplay that is the point-n-click that for me has become quite boring to play. There could be more content from Jessica or Sonya but there wasn't because the dev delved into an uninteresting content that was NTR.

It's a good game with average image qualities, good renders, good animations and good female models, especially Jessica.

I'm mitigated about this game.
When I read the reviews, I didn't know what to expect.

Some said it was ugly, I don't agree, even for a 2017 game, it's still one with some of the best characters' models, and the RT renders are very well done. The old graphics really are visible in the early game, but it gets better later on.

There is some slight level of uncanny level with zoom in on faces, especially around the yes and the mouths, but 90% of the time it's not visible and looks natural.

Same for the animations, some are clunky low frame animation where it looks like automates from a XIX°c sex museum, but some actually have a good frame rate and natural body animation.

And the story isn't that bad either.

My biggest gripe is with pacing and gameplay elements.

So, quick disclaimer here, I haven't finished the game yet, but I think I'm around 50 to 75% of it.

At the beginning of the game, for the first 14 days, you usually wake up, take your shower, take your breakfast, and then do whatever you want before going to work (so, snooping in the niece's bedroom and spying on everyone you infected with the spyware)

There is a friendship and lust system, when you make some actions or choices with some characters, those points change.

And finally,, money is tight, you don't often gain it, but you often spend it, so you have to make the right choices to manage it (not that it is hard anyway)

And then...

The Yacht ark happens.
During and shortly after the yacht, the point system still works. Kind of. With some characters the points get added or deducted, with some others (like Sonya), it never moves, you can speak to her, help her, fuck her or completely ignore her, it doesn't change anything.

This ark ends with my favourite thing in every good story,; a long ellipse. (yes, I hate ellipses), especially since this one is followed by a lot of things happening all at once.

Seriously, the very first arc has us following 4 things at one. 3 of them being completely useless information and adding nothing to the story.

And after that, the point system and money become completely useless, and the game devolves into a run-of-the-mill visual novel. No more planning your day, no more choosing which actions you want to do before moving on in the story. Some clients tell you you will be paid, but you never get the money. Not that it matters since going to the cinema or an expensive restaurant doesn't cost anything either, even if just going to the grocery store cost 100$ before.

So yes, the story becomes slightly more interesting at that point, but also way more slow-paced compared to before.

It took me probably more time to play through day 26 to 30 than day 1 to 15.

Some actions feel like they don't have consequences, and some characters feel simply useless.

An entire ark is dedicated to Sonya, yet you almost never interact with her during it, and after that, you won't see her for hours, and that will be just for a quick and goodbye again before hours and hours of playthrough.

Some characters not included in the game stats actually have a more developed plot and interaction with the MC.

All in all, I'd say the game starts strong with a good concept, but it eventually throws everything into the trash to focus only on the story at the detriment of gameplay.

This game isnt awful but the cons just outweight the pros too much.
Renders are really average and tend to go towards the bad, this game has been started in 2017 and i understand that it was standart to this time but in 2022 it seems really old.
The story is cliché, nothing really innovative and isnt deep either.
This game could be good for people who had already played better games and is in search of abetter than bad game.
TLDR: Average but has had its day

Its not a bad game.

The settings are good. Dialog is not bad. Characters are ok within their perspective roles.

The only draw back to this game is the X scenes are very short and character models/animations are pretty outdate (or feels like it is).

One really good thing is the choices do make an impact in the game and there are different routes as well which is a lot of work so its appreciative for the verity.

One other thing that I see many creators should do IMO is keep the MC's face out of all scenes. I know its harder to do then say but it leaves it up the the imagination of the player and less likely people will stop half way, if not right away.

A typical “creepy old man tries to seduce a young girl” simulator.

What is there to say? Half the games on this site are like this. The MC, who is hosting his niece, creeps on her and her and her friends, getting them drunk when he can in order to ensure best results.

PROs:

• Can be slightly sweet for a very brief moments.

CONs:

• This VN has been done 1000 times and this is not one of the very few good ones.
• No genuine chemistry.
• Amoral misogynistic creep MC with no likeability.
• MC is only the “good guy” when compared with literal molesters.
• Not a fan of the renders.

TL;DR: A poor attempt at the grooming VN, if you want a better one, try Haley's Story.

FYI, I would really rate this 4.5 if I could.

I was really surprised by this title. I was thinking this would be another "hump a family member" by the numbers game. By the end, I realized I could not have been more wrong. A slow start gives way to some fairly tight writing that gets you invested on a surprising level. Renders and locations are simple when they need to be, complex when called for. Solid animations at the right time help enhance the experience. Characters that seem very one dimensional take turns that open up new growth that maybe you didn't think was coming. Loved the multiple branches and secondary women. I really liked that the author kept things focused around 3 women, which allows for more focused writing. Quality over quantity has it's merits.

Of note, this is the first game where the NTR actually got me a little. Usually NTR is so farcical, I laugh more than anything. This time, however, the NTR is framed not only with someone naive just making a bad choice, but burning quite a few bridges to do it. and maybe even regretting it later. Particularly effective is watch an extended date scene of the main girl with a rival that normally the MC goes on. It's like watching the mirror universe version of it, and it made me feel guilty for even ending up on this path. That's good writing!

My only complaints are a few scenes where the Main girl's skin just seems to change to whatever tone it wants to be (deep tan out of nowhere, just kinda broke my immersion) and some navigation issues that some of the mods available address (MC's apartment can be a pain in the ass at times).

Really looking forward to the author's other titles, but I will definitely be coming back to this one again and agan.

The game might be good. I will never know because I deleted it the moment I seen he took the auto-text function out of the game and then I actually had to "turn left" to answer the phone. game over I wonder if developers even bother testing their own games these days.
