Ren'Py - Big Brother: Ren'Py - Remake Story [v1.06] [PornGodNoob]

3/10 Why? cons
1. Gameplay is 0
2. poorly set plot. (many actions mixed up in the wrong sequence). the girl will give you a blowjob but she is afraid when you see her naked. etc. There is much against common sense.
3. short scenes.
4. unnecessary repetition of plots. Mother handjobs son 170 times and still no blowjob. It is cruel nonsense.
Pluses
1. The models are gorgeous
2. Exciting plots
Overall. The game could easily compete with Man of the house or Being a dik, unfortunately not in this state. Fix cutscene transitions and player rewards. Add more dialogs. More ways to earn money, including mini-games The plot of the game is exciting, but before you get the hang of it, it quickly kills you with repetition. You can punish Alice daily. why? etc etc Well, it disappointed me.

Renderings are of high quality, sadly there are no animations.
Dialogues are pretty long but mostly story relevant and sex scenes are ok they could be more hot and have better angles.
It's good enough to be replayed, so 4 stars for that.

Terrible. This is not a game. This is not even a story. It is some bullshit AI generated text with a few images. This project is devolving. Better not add this to the base game. Stupid slide show with extra steps.

I love it. The time has flown by so quickly. The integrated walkthrough is super helpful. The user interface is tidy. I would have liked a bit more animation and music, but great work. I am eagerly awaiting further development.

Another remake but still very good, it start to get boring since every remake have same events with same characters.
Could be great game but most likely it will get tiny updates and after 3 years when it start to get really good - another remake.

So far only thing other that REMOVING ERIC i would like to see changed is skills level up locked behind event that kinda kills sandbox part of the game.

Funny enough i did enjoy the story but on the normal none ntr path, the problem is the big grind and absolutly waste of time doing the sandbox aspect, it gets even worse as you come along since with small content updates you dont have much to do then maybe 1 or 2 quests where you need to wait days between progress, so all you do is sit and spam a skip time button which is pointless and has no meaning.

And for whatever reason this game is apprently only going on with NTR route so thats game over for me playing it, what is even worse is that you play it for a very long time and might want to finaly get together with the little sister but that will apprently never happen in normal route, since i am at the end of 1.05 and little sister is still a virgin and this is how game will end, so i really cant recomend a game that waste so much of your time to give 0 rewards and finish without a ending of any kind.

Game arent animated either which makes it a bit boring and its silent as well meaning no music so there really isent any reason to play this.
Maybe if you are into NTR since that route seems to be only valid choice if you want to see the game finsihed some day, but for me it can only be a 1 star game due to the facts ive explained here.

Too much grind for no reason. The game forces you to skip hours at a time, then days at a time just to progress the story along. The money earned needs to be at least tripled as all it does is add more grind to the game. You'll need to use the mod to actually enjoy the game. On the flipside, the graphics are top notch.

I just love this game. Great renderings, interesting characters, and the story is quite cool. Thanks to the detailed walkthrough, the game is easy to play. In the beginning, the money is increasing slowly, but now I am earning so much that the money is not decreasing, but on the contrary, it is increasing.

It would also be interesting if the main character could look at places other than just the house and Erik's apartment.

However, it would be nice if the updates came out more often, but the game is still great.

I enjoy sharing/swinging games but games with the right investment in characters and dialogue make even NTR and/or cuckolding games enjoyable. I am enjoying all of the updates to this and would recommend it to anyone that has a wide variety of tastes in relationships, i.e. family units engaging with each other, and good DAZ (or whatever is being used) artwork.

Out of all the bb clones this one really only has one route, the NTR route, and it SLAPS best forward content ive seen so far in any bb game its not limiting great guides a lot of scenes and pleanty repeatable content 5/5 for me

This one is for the ones that like a challenge with Eric. Honestly so much content and in my opinion the best of the big brothers. I like the new twists here and there, I just wish Camera content was available. some day I hope.

I believe it is objective to say this version is a huuuuuuge improvement built on the original game, it gives a crystal clear guide to every step of the game and much, and an overall view of your progress on this game. It gets of some of the unnecessary grinds to make the gameplay A LOT more reasonable. It basically holds your dick and points to the correct direction then fap for you, so be grateful to the author.

An overall solid narrative and artistic vision for a game hamstrung by poor UX issues.

Artwork is as good as it could get without venturing into that "above and beyond" territory, models are crisp, could use more animations but those in place are usually quite good.

The sandbox layout is heavily benefited from the inclusion of an in-game walkthrough, though at times it feels like it'd be better served to cut out the middleman and just be a visual novel on rails - since many of the events depend on each other.

The UI itself looks crisp, however the actual navigation leaves much to be desired. For example, many of these grind-sandbox games involve long periods of day skipping, especially in the late game. A 4 hour skip button is provided here in addition to the single hour, however, there are far too many mini-daily events (things like sister who stays in your room closing the door to change) that yank a player out of spamming the skip button when they need to go forward days upon days.

Long story short, the grind is bad and the tools for dealing with it are bad.

Everything else about the game is pretty darn good.

if you are expectig its can be new scenes or new something you will get disappoint and its grindy as fuck like original game uctually its most grindly game ever so you give get disappoint for sure well i just was expect they maybe change or make shorter grindy things but no its still take long long long time to grind

Better than the legendary original. This is for people looking for pornography, not roleplayers. If you consider Alice your girlfriend in real life, you will be depressed by this story.

You basically get to see all the girls from big brother doing all the sexual stuff you wanted in the first game.

Eric takes on the role of an accomplice, to basically provide the second penis for group sex encounters

Lacking alot of in depth scenes and is basically using the original as a stepping stone for themselves. This wouldn't be a big deal if all parts of the game were getting attention, but the dev is focusing on only a few things even though they are keeping the things their not focusing on in game. Either make you own game with the content you want or do the original material justice.

2/5 is for the base game but the developer deserves 5/5 for the port.

This game is an excelent port of a terrible game. Honestly I'd recommend it only for those who played original Big Brother but for everyone else it's better to check CG and move along. Anyone who played BB already knows what they are getting into, so there isn't much to tell except that the work was done very well. I honestly consider it a better experience compared to the original game but still comparable as painful to play.

Now if you don't have any idea what is BB then here are my biggest concerns:
- A lot of events can be done at very specific times like twice a week. Just this alone makes forces you waste minutes just to trigger specific event. It's like clicking several different skip buttons just to proceed from one step of a quest to another.
- This issue is amplified by multiple tasks that require you to wait a few days. For example when a character needs time to decide something.
- "Realistic" schedule when characters appear only on specific times during the week. That changes for worse when you suddenly get a task to interact with them. For example there was a quest to massage a girl that usually gets a tan at the pool daily but once you need to do this she suddenly appears there only once in a week!
- Proceeding from one sex scene to another one can take ten, twenty or more minutes despite it being in the same quest chain with no other events blocking your progress. Which is the next point.
- You can't naturally progress this game because every few steps you get roadblocked by another quest that needs to be progressed first. This becomes so convoluted very quickly that hint button becomes your second used button after "skip".

Big Brother is a prime example of the worst mechanics of the worst sandbox games. If you ever wish to see why this genre is so much hated then this is a good example why. In the past ten years it was among the most painful sandbox games I played.

BB probably has only one major upside which is a very good CG but personally I find each scene to be too short to bother. This would be an amazing 3D comic but in a game format you pretty much forcefully squeeze one scene after another with one droplet at time.

But I don't want to criticize the author of the port. It was nearly nearly flawless and they have done an amazing job by remaking it from scratch on a different engine.

I'm not sure about their NTR mod since I found it too bothersome to explore. By the time I got to choosing NTR path in the middle of fhe game I already was so much annoyed by all the roadblocks so I spent like half an our trying it out and then just quickloaded to the previous save since it seemed to be the same "squeeze events out of the game" and I wasn't willing to invest any more of my time into this option.

In my opinion, the worst flaw of the original game was that the whole game concept centered around the wait button, and unfortunately every big brother remake seems to make the same mistake over and over again.
When I take a look at my current quest log for example, it looks like this:

Sacrifice --> Go through the event "Control"
Control --> Go through the event "Blog"
Blog --> Go through the event "Party girl"
Party girl --> Go through the event "Cigarette smoke"
Cigarette smoke --> wait for 6 days

I mean, what the fuck? All the quests are chained linearly with nothing new happening for days. If the dev envisions a linear story, then the whole sandbox style doesn't fit into it at all.

Either use a VN style where you can integrate time jumps without the player having to spend many boring hours just hitting the wait button, or make things happen in parallel so that there's always something new to discover for the players. But in its current state, the game just feels exhausting as fuck and like a huge waste of life time.

That's really a shame because I think this could've been a great game if the dev would get rid of the exhaustive grind.

Reviewing v1.02

This particular version of Big Brother focuses on expanding the Eric NTR path, particularly the one where you befriend him and work with him to have relations with the rest of the family. If you're into NTR and enjoyed the Eric scenes from the original BB the most, then this is hands down the version for you.

The new content rendered and written by PornGodNoob is 5* territory if you're into NTR. I cannot stress that enough, it is incredibly hot.

The problem with BB, as it has always been, is the grindy sandbox loop required to advance the story. Seriously there are in game weeks where I'm clicking "Skip, Skip, Skip, Sleep" because I need to talk to someone at a particular time during a particular day. If this game were ever remade again, I would hope it simply cuts the sandbox element entirely.

4* because of the sandbox

My penis wants to rate 5/5, but my dignity rates it 4/5 due to the lazy grind loop. There is a lot of content recycling just to keep you playing the same shit over and over hoping to see a new scene.

Do try it, the scenes and dialogue make a spicy game overall, but don't forget cheat mod or you will go limp several times per session...
