Mod - Abandoned - Big Brother: Untold Stories [v0.14c ] [Bauchnabel] October 2019

Big Brother wasn't a perfect game and it had some things that I didn't like (such as excessive grinding and complexity) but it is at my top 10 and generally I avoid playing mods for games I like. But the original Big Brother is effectively dead so I tried some mods. Most of them are below average. Only 2 of them I manage to play until the end and one of them is this. The other is the mod from @lazyharry which I think is the best but it has much less content than this.

So what I liked in this mod is basically 2 things:
1) It has a lot of content (it is 4GB and the original is 2 GB) and some scenes are good good.
2) Writing / dialogues are nice and quite close to the original
3) Ιt has an "in game" walkthrough to be able to see all the content without being lost.

The dev probably put a lot of effort to this mod but I can't give a better rating because there are also many thing that I didn't like and I can't avoid the comparison with the original.

- The quality of the renders is obviously worse than the original and the models are a bit off and sometimes looks unnatural (especially mom but not only ). I would definitely preferred the half content with better quality.

- A lot of scenes are similar and repeatable, so from one point and after it becomes a little boring. Also I expected the dev to pay more attention to individual scenes instead of trying to make as many as possible. For example the "Lisa looses virginity" should be a special long scene but it was small, plain and indifferent (maybe also for reasons I will explain below).

- The type of content / story is not exactly what I would expected and it is not organized well (like the opportunities system). Also the focus in this mode is on sided. It focused too much on mom. Mom is present in almost every scene in one way or another. I like mom model but the game is called "Big Brother" not "Big Son". In original game there was a Lisa gf path that is ignored here. Here the gf is the mom and almost everything that Max does must have the consent of mom. One thing I liked on the original game was that Max doing things with sisters without mom knowing but there is no such thing in this mod. Even Lisa has lost her virginity because mom allowed it and with an indifferent scene.

- Major and favorite opportunities like "Schoolmate" , "Blog" and "Cunning Plan" are almost or completely ignored as well as other opportunities like "Olivia", "Side effects", "Hot coffee" and "Schoolgirl". The dev focus to the "Amateur porn video" primarily with mom as a continuation of "New job" opportunity. There are also some sex lessons for Lisa with mom as a continuation of "Mentor" opportunity but I don't think that implemented so well. Maybe these opportunities ignored because mom is not involved directly...

- The swinger club idea maybe has some interest but it is incomplete and most of the new characters there are not so hot for me.

- The dojo training is also incomplete. The new characters are not bad but not as good as Eve and Vicky from the original game. Anyway there isn't much action with these characters.

- BDSM: Generally I like some parts of this fetish but probably not the parts that the dev tried to implemented. it is focus mainly in humiliating Max or make him sissy. Anyway that too has little content and it is incomplete.

- Shemale and gay staff: I don't like them but at least there is little content here and it is partially avoidable.


As a finally thought I could recommend this mod if you want to see more scenes especially with mom, some threesome scenes and some lesbian action but with lower quality of the original. But don't expect an actually continuation of the original game and it's opportunities. People who are more interesting in sister, waiting for a good story progression of Lisa gf path, continuation of "Blog" and some other opportunities or waiting to see content with Olivia, Eve or Vicky will be disappointed.

The amount of work put into this mod is amazing!
Hours upon hours of content, improving or finishing the original story of BB plus the addition of new stuff..
The renders are high quality(though the models are a bit different than the original let's say 10%), the variation between scenes surpasses the original, and even though there's still some grinding, there's always something to do everyday(in game) that doesn't let you get bored.
This developer deserves all the credit for his work, and i wish there was a way to support him in this unofficial game, but since the IP belongs to Darksilver( that clearly doesn't give a sh** about his game), it's difficult.
So many modders choose to build their own games instead, that usually end up inferior to BB, and it's a shame..
To conclude, this Mod could easily be renamed Big Brother 2(the sequel), as it fills up the huge gap that the original left Story/Content wise, and it deserves a spot of its own into the list of must play games in F95.

Once upon a time, there was an extremely popular game on F95, Easily the most popular and discussion. So popular in fact, that even after the game was "put on hold" it still holds a top spot . Then Patreon decided to enforce its views, and would no longer allow Darksilver to show this particular work, and be support by fans, and all our hopes and dreams were crushed.

Now Bauchnabel comes along and picks up right where we left off. The story progresses and grows. As oppsed to some mods, the Tempo feels much the same, you have to work and progress, way past "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?"

The addition of a hint menu helps dramatically, not nearly as vague as the original opportunity system.

Bauchnabel freely admits that the model are not "Identical" but close enough. The conversations are in character, and don't feel out of place.
There are even new out of house places to go, and expand the interactions available.

Only minor complaint, is Bauchnabel is not a native English speaker, so some text are off, and a n rare typo sneaks in, but even with that, its a 5 star game easily.

If you enjoyed BB, yo will surely enjoy untold stories.

I personally ran into a problem with provided save, as some new events had been unlocked, but where out of time line for where I was. Bringing in my old .13 save form the original made everything work perfect. The thread is a friendly place, and be willing to help, as well as Bauchnabel active, and response to questions of the rare problem are timely answered, if not quickly answered.

this is a surprisingly good continuation of the big brother story and it also fills a lot of blanks, fulfilling people's fantasies about what might have been in the original game. there is a lot of content here and i'm thoroughly enjoying it. the only let down here is the difference of renders from the original, which gets especially eye-catching in the mouth area. they are somewhat too off. i will still rate this 5 points because of the hard work bauchnabel put into this very pleasing mod.

edit: the mouths look much better in later version. sweet!

The rendering is a little off from the original game, but I think of this as being the way a TV series is a little different from the movie it was based upon. The movie M*A*S*H was pretty good, but the TV series was quite different and yet still quite enjoyable
