    I've recently been playing several from DanGames, as I like the simplistic playstyle and the models used. This is my first review of any of them, but I intend to submit more.

    The Good: I liked the more Pacific Islander model, especially with her sexy tan lines. The playstyle also seemed more refined and concise than in other installments. It seems like DanGames has been tinkering with different game mechanics to find the best one and this one was pretty good. The MC builds suspicion with every interaction with the aunt, then relieves suspicion by doing chores for the uncle. It also appears that, so some degree, you build more suspicion by interacting with the aunt in close proximity to the uncle, as interacting with her in the bed seemed to nearly fill the suspicion meter every time. Playing with the aunt while she did laundry was my favorite part, as this model has a sumptuous ass. I also really appreciated the ability to undress the aunt in stages in the kitchen, as I'm a sucker for bras and panties.

    The Bad: Unlike some other DanGames I've already played, this one suffers from less impressive sexual acts and a significant gap between accessing foreplay and sexual acts. Like most DanGames, you have to build some form of reputation to unlock more scenes, which is usually represented by an unseen 1-100 scale that can be observed through some in-game idol. As you build said reputation, you gain access to more sexual encounters (i.e. progressing from flirty gestures, to foreplay, then penetrative sex). In this entry, however, it felt like I went from groping to hand/tit jobs at around 40 rep, then a big grind to 82 rep, where the first real sex act occurs, with little in between. Also, I was very disappointed in the sex acts in this game. i want to see the MC fucking the women, not a disembodied cock. This entry, moreso than the others I've played, has a lot more disembodied cocks, which kind of takes me out of the action. POV scenes are really the only time I feel like it's okay to have just a cock, otherwise it just looks like the woman is fucking a dildo using the Force.

    Conclusion: It's not terrible, but could be a lot better with more sexual options to fill the gap between 40 and 80. It also would have been much better without the dreaded "Phantom Cock." I give it 3/5. -GuyGin

    This is the second DanGames' game that I decided to play.
    On the one hand, it begins to seem that the author has developed a template pattern.: "MC seduces aunts behind uncles' backs." On the other hand, there are minor innovations here, for example, a modified restriction system.
    The game turned out to be very short — it can be completed in about an hour.
    There is no plot as such: there is only a plot described in the annotation to the game. There are practically no dialogues either — they appear only at the moments when the uncle gives tasks to reduce the scale of "suspicion".
    The gameplay boils down to interacting with your aunt and earning influence points. After each action, the level of suspicion of the uncle increases, which has to be reduced by carrying out his errands (chopping firewood and collecting shells). It's simple: walk around the locations (only 5 time periods per day), interact with your aunt, gain influence and discover new scenes. In the finale, the "unexpected twist" is the pregnancy of aunt from MC, but it doesn't cause emotions, because the characters here are just dolls without character, emotions and thoughts.
    The visual part is not bad: there are both weak and very successful scenes. The music, as in the author's other games, is the same.
    Initially, I wanted to give Barefoot in Paradise 2 stars, like the previous DanGames game, but here the gameplay is less "suffocating", and the short duration makes it a little more bearable. As a result, I give a weak 3 stars. If you have an absolute "drought" in games, you can try it. But if you have at least one unread title, feel free to skip it.

    I consider myself a... "fan?" of Dangames. Even though his games are typically so short and so shoddily made, I keep downloading & playing them for reasons that escape me.

    This game is much like his others. It's around 1 hour of gameplay, consisting mostly of grinding affinity with the MC's aunt while remaining under the radar of his uncle. It isn't much grinding compared to his other games, but it is there. The uncle's suspicion mechanic is an interesting twist on Dangame's usual "limiting factor" gameplay mechanics.

    Dialogue is barely there; there's a little bit of plot & dialogue at the beginning of the game, but not much else besides that.

    H-Scenes are short and stiffly animated. The aunt model is appealing enough, but the sex is unremarkable.

    The only pregnancy content is at the very end; it's a single still image. Disappointing for a preggo-hound like myself.

    I was still able to get off, but I don't think I'll be replaying this particular entry.

    What really made me decide to rate it lower, despite the fact I got off to it and did enjoy it enough to finish it, was that even if you failed and got game-over, all that would happen is a generic "game over" screen. No cutscene of your uncle kicking you off the island, nothing. Just "game over". Even if you complete the game, after the final still, you'll just get that same generic "game over" screen. Dangames couldn't even be bothered to make the music sound happier, since you beat the damn game.

    It's a shining example of just how lazy this shovelware game is. If you like Dangames, it's more Dangames, but know that even I, a "fan" of his, was disappointed by this entry.

    Writing: 5/10
    Imagery: 7/10
    Gameplay: 6/10
    Kinks: 7/10
    Overall: 6/10

    Earn favor, bone aunt, work off suspicion. Repeat.

    This developer certainly has a passion, and I respect that. The game play mechanics are pretty much copy and past from their other titles, you earn points with the female of the hour doing random tasks, use those points to become increasingly bolder in your touching and sexual favors, and kee and eye on your sus meter so uncle Old-n-Rich doesn't realize your plowing his wife.

    This time around the aunt is pretty hot, nice body, a good model for sure. There's a handful of ways you can smash, though all of them are inside the cabin which was a tad sad. Was hoping to see some outdoor events.

    Eventually based on how far you make it with your aunt, you can earn an ending, and since spunky nephew wasn't holding back on filling up his hot AILF with cum, my endings saw her end up preggers and hopeful the true daddy will visit again soon to provide her a refill.

    So yeah, sexy aunt, pretty run of the mill gameplay, and sexual scenes that just were so-so.

    I've played most of this developer game's and this gameplay and storywise were better than the most of them.

    Animatios are quite bad compared to other games.
    Model is good as always nad it's the strongest asset of this game
    Story is almost inexistant and there's almost no dialogue

    One good thing is that at least you know when you have finished the game.

    This is extremely simple. I'd wish there was more to it.

    It's basically ~10 laps of the same thing and then you're done.

    The scenes could also use a bit more risk-taking. They're a bit too simple animation-wise with no dialogue.

    Save yourself some time, edit your save and pump up that affection level to a 100 because it's a ridiculously boring grind.

    And then you find out you get to the sex part ONCE and the game is basically over.

    The only saving grace is auntie looks good.

    Second game by this author where there is little to no development, a grind that doesn't make much sense and some tension-less scenes that are arbitrarily unlocked when you've grinded enough.

    The model and animations are fine, but this is another game that feels like an alien is just ticking off some boxes of things they saw in other porn games and fundamentally misunderstanding the things that actually make them good.

    Generally empty and poorly made game. Even for a short one, even for this developer.
    1 - very few activities in the game even for this developer. The existing ones is too boring and repetitive, all what you doing is gaining affinity for aunt and lowering uncles suspicion.
    2 - It's censored, and it's especially bad in game where SEX is reward for your boring grind.
    3 - The animations and poses is poor, it can be so much better even in compare to his old games.
    Conclusion - boring and not worth time wasted on it.

    I can see the potential but the outcome is very basic. All you do is 6 things

    Sit with your aunt in the sun
    Help her at the sink
    Help her from being stuck in the washing machine
    See her in the shower
    watch tv with her
    See her sleep

    after that its rinse and repeat and while you do these a few times a new unlock can be made. Watch out to also do the gameplay of the uncle, but the bar fills up very slow so no imediate danger.

    TLDR: No gameplay, no story/plot and only OK pictures.

    There is almost nothing to this "game".
    You do the exact same activities every day.

    You have two activities to reduce the uncles suspicion that are very simplistic minigames and a maximum of six activities with the aunt, of which you can realistically do four if you want to reduce the uncles suspicion twice every day.

    After some time you can slightly progress with the aunt activities, for example: Hug her while watching TV instead of just sitting next to her. Or Jerk off to her sleeping instead of just watching her.

    Activities you can't really do with her is to help her in the kitchen or do something with her at the washing machine in the bathroom (never even tried that) because you have to do the activities with the uncle to keep the suspicion low enough.

    Question: Why does helping her in the kitchen raise suspicion? Why does enjoying the sun next to both uncle and aunt raise it? Why does watching TV next to her, but with both of them raise it?

    This one loop is all there is to this game, I guess with the kitchen and washing machine being the activities you only ever do when you have progressed enough with her and suspicion is low enough that you can do them for a change...

    Only positive is that aunt pictures are mostly good (though I don't find her nipples that good in the "Bathing together" scene and her bikini-zone is censored...

    Two stars is generous, but I feel that this is not terrible enough to get only one star (actual rating maybe 1.75 stars).
