The how you start part is relevant to pointing out how popular BB is. It's because when you start playing it, it does seem like it's going to be this incredible incest game. Then it turns to one of the most successful bait-and-switch gimmicks in history. First there's Eric with the NTR-ish elements, then the BDSM that follows, the blackmail, and the blueballing. There's finding out that DS doesn't even like or get incest, or how it can be romantic.
Well it is kind of like the con at the beginning of Three Card Monty...
Rope you in by showing you a plant winning then letting you play once for free and winning only to lose every time you put money down on the table.
I don't actually accuse DS of scamming us intentionally...He scammed himself more like it.
He knew Incest Games sell. He thought "How hard could making an Incest game be?".
Then it came time to write an incest story and he couldn't! Couldn't Imagine any scenario that didn't involve near abusive behavior, blackmail or insanity/depravity. Hell, he couldn't even imagine how to get them together to have sex which is why it is nothing but a peep fest early in the game.
And because he couldn't think of any way to get Max to convince a family member to have sex with him he invented Eric and then Kira to try and help him. Eric caused a shitstorm and Kira he soon ran out of ideas again after coming up with the Lisa Training.
I personally don't care if it is romantic, it would be one tone to explore for variety but his ideas of incest are so limited he can't even think of anything other than force to get to it, let alone a romantic story.
My issue it the path to EVERYTHING is Blackmail, Spankings, Leverage and Desperation.
It's a one note song! ZERO emotional context to any events in this game!
The not seeing pussy or penetration isn't that big a deal to me. I wouldn't mind seeing more, and I wouldn't mind seeing far less of Max's cock. But I'd be just as happy with better writing and dialog during the sex scenes as well. Like you, though, I'd like to see sex scenes that were more consensual and honest.
It wouldn't bother me if the dialogue, story and lead up was at least sexually stimulating but they aren't in this game. And since a Pussy shot is avoided even without penetration there really is nothing other than the idea OH he is with his mother....The fact there is no penetration makes this game lack and sexually stimulation. You can see harder sex on Cinemax and Showtime than you see in this Game. If the pictures are what you like you could save yourself hours of time and just download the CGs because you will not lose a single thing from skipping the dialogue that accompanies those renders.
Very rarely do I see an animation in one of these games that works for me. I played DmD for example, and most were just weird looking. I think there was the sex scene with Elena where the sexual animation was actually good. The sex scene with Olivia had animation that seemed hilariously sped up and artificial. Maybe there are games out there with animations that don't end up looking so artificial, but at the same time, I don't really need the animation. Like with the penetration shots, my mind can run with the picture and the words, and make something that works far better.
Like I said elsewhere (another thread) none of these games are fappable...At best they set a tone or situation that is stimulating enough to make me want to go find some movie or theme that fits the situation to fap to.
For those who love to Fap I highly suggest downloading Porn instead of a game.
A Game is meant to be played and this game has no gameplay other than go through the Groundhog day and look for something different to click on.
It's a major waste of the Unity Engine which allows full animation, Hotspot locations and items that can be used to create gameplay.
This game is nothing but a VN now. Even a Relationship sim has choices and consequences this game doesn't have...
As far as Games go it is not even a game anymore just a Virtual Novel.
Hardly what I would call the best game on this site.
He picked a genre he simply didn't have the creativity to make well.
And now he is probably bored of trying and hoping we will keep supporting him until his next game can make up for what he will lose whenever he finishes off this one.
