VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Boxed In [v1.0] [badbod]

Very good V/N

First the pros
Interesting story line, one that I haven't come across before so unique.

Good animations

Realistic proportions on the models which is a major plus.

No glaring errors in spelling and grammar.

Negatives
This one is nitpicking but a pet peeve. Over reliance on the word fuck. Common among AVNs and indicates lack of writing experience. There are several words or phrases for sex, mix it up some.

The dialog was often smaller than I would have liked.

More interactions between the MC and the girls would have been nice.

More sounds would have been a bonus.

The main reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I felt the ending was a bit lacking. I get the Dev was probably wanting to wrap it up and move on but more time with the girls after the main part of the story would have been a big plus. Also only one of the girls was showing signs of pregnancy. More would also have been a plus. Unfortunately the ending doesn't leave much room for a sequel.

My bad, more than one of the girls was showing pregnancy at the end and somehow I missed it the first playthrough so I wanted to correct that. Still it would have been nice to see more interactions with them enroute to their pregnancies.

I look forward to seeing where the Dev goes next.

A solid effort, simple concept but well executed. Nothing too fancy, average visuals but finally a developer that knows not to drag things out to long and completes his story neatly.

I found this one quite entertaining and worthy of support.

Looking forward to future works from this developer.

Great game, straightforward and to the point while still keeping the story somewhat interesting. It would've been nice if the ending scenes were longer and more in-depth. The renders are beautiful and the character designs all had their own unique look as well.

Fantastic game with an intriguing story. The characters are well-developed & the art style enhanced the overall immersive experience. A memorable experience for fans of the genre! Thank you for this!

The good: The renders are surprisingly well made and the scenes are enjoyable.

I went into the game expecting something like euphoria, but it was a very incesty game. If that's your fetish and your ballpark, then this game is for you.

If not, then this game is probably okay to skip.

A really nice little game.
The story is good, everything makes sense (within the confines of an adult visual novel). My only complaint is the excuse that incest is almost genetic to explain the incestuous harem... classic but ridiculous.

Otherwise, the rendering is good, the animations decent.

There are three possible endings depending on the MC's enthusiasm for the proposed actions.
The bonus features showing the behind-the-scenes of the story are excellent.

Review of "Boxed In" finished version [v1.0] ...

... as a game:
* Poor story. It's just a excuse to start doing naughty things.
* Decent dialogs.
* There's NOT music nor voices, just some random sounds.
* No crashes. Good performance.
... regarding its erotic side:
* Character design is good. There are different models of girls and each one has his personality/backstory.
* Scenes are decent. They are pretty basic but at least almost all of them has different endings.
* Animations are decent at most.
* There are no music, sound nor voices/moans.
* Has gallery mode.

It's a short game done in 4 months, I suppose as first game to learn doing things. I will look next game of the author, with a more "serious" project it can be pretty good.

First and foremost, Badbod, congrats on finishing the game.

I really want to give this game 5/5 but unfortunately I didn't think the ending was as good as the rest of the game.

First gameplay and art. The gameplay mostly consistent of choices that are mostly illusions of choice, the choices mostly break done to would you like to go further in the scene or stop there. The art is good, not much to say about it. No over used models but its nothing that unique. I will say the character models look good and its nice to see older woman actually look older.

Now for the story, most of this will have to be hidden behind a spoiler tag, its a very story driven game (but not slow burn). The game's story is really good and I highly recommend it; A quick synopsis before the spoilers saw but horny.

More in-depth summary. MC wakes up in a mysterious room with an attractive woman, and to get out of the room needs to perform sexual activities with the women with him, the twist they're his family.

Ok so the reason I say I want to give this game a 5/5 is because the before the final scene of the the last update (0.4) I thought the game was perfect, it somehow made the taboo story feel natural, not an easy feat, but that final scene of the update leads to something bland (not bad just bland). It feels like you get an exposition dump explain why what's happening, then you pivot into a generic incest-harem story. Also the reason why the choices feel like an illusions of choice is because if you minimize the sexual activity (why would you play like this, I don't know) you still get an alternate ending that still leads to incest just with different characters.

The Dev understood not to over complicate the story. Sometime a simpler story is so much better then getting so up your own ass and thinking you are writing the greatest piece of art only to crash and burn(out). Not to mention the dev has fun with the taboo, something most games miss; most games do incest because that the norm on this site not because the taboo of it all.

Additionally, before the final scene the game feels predictable but in a good way. Basically the more you play the more obvious the twist becomes, and it feels like a smooth progression that lets the player realize the twist before the MC. You are almost waiting for him to figure it out but he will get there eventually, except for the fact the MC decides to cheat and break the "game" result. If felt like he reading the last chapter of a book before when you are in the middle. Probably the worst part of the MC cheating was he basically states as soon as he saw his sister he figured it out; the entire premise falls apart because of that. Why was he mad at the end, why did he want it to end, why is anything a surprise at any point? they do give an excuse, he was too tired from all the sex, pretty weak reason, adding logic to a story that doesn't need it.

There are other aspects that make the game feel like it rushed to an ending. For example why did the sister have twins, that could have been a great twist if it happened naturally it would have been another great twist but just telling you feels so dull. Same for the mom, why does she just basically show up during the ending, she could have been part of the game or even the mastermind of it all.

This last point is more of my personal issue but since they do just lean into the family fuckfest at the end (which I actually not against as long as the pacing is good or if the pacing is bad but the story does matter) but why don't they go further, like when the daughter pops out of the cake, way take her to the room, fuck her in front of the family, have them cheer and get off themselves off. Have had more fun with the family taboo theme

Sorry for the giant block of the spoiler, I do think this is a really good game just think the ending kinda drops the ball. As much as I don't care about sequel I hope there's a sequel that takes place with the same MC (or at least he's part of the story) about 20 years later or at least a short story. The ending does set up something if the dev chooses to go that path
I look forward to what ever the DEV works on next, hope they have some sort of way to advertise is to i don't miss it; no twitter (x), no bluesky, no patreon, nothing.

I am a simple guy so I like simple games. This game is simple, brutally simple. However, the presentation of it is surprisingly adequate. The story is simple too, but also "natural" in a way, which helps the entire game flows.

In terms of rendering, the still images have done well, though the lighting part could be improved a bit more. Animations also have some room for improvement, especially on the "breathing" of characters e.g. chest movements etc. that can increase the liveness of characters.

I would give an overall of 4 stars, but with the incredible speed of the dev to complete a game, there is an extra star!

If you're into the ridiculously porn-cliched forced-into-sex games, harem, incest and impregnation, you'll love this game.

I love the fact that it's reasonably short as well, which means it actually got developed reasonably quickly. It also means you can easily explore all the options. The bonus scenes got handled well, expanding the story by providing extra insight and other characters' point of view.

Lots of fun, great looking characters unlike most and unique I haven't seen them before. I also found the theme fun I know of SAW and THE CUBE but never in a thousand years thought about it in a sexual way.

Ok legitimately the most insane porn game I've ever played, this was a mixture of insanely funny and godawful all rolled into one in perfect proportions. The story here is the craziest thing I've ever heard and its just wild. The premise is fun, saw style sex stuff is an interesting premise, then leading into incest and stuff is cool, but the constant rug pulls in this were wild, every other scene its like "oh shit you're my X?!?!?!". I was laughing my ass off the entire time I played this. The only problem with that is that I'm almost certain this game isn't intended to elicit that reaction, its giving off this very serious vibe most of the time and genuinely if it wasn't for how insane the concept here is it would be a 1/5, the renders are meh, the story is meh, there's just nothing special here. Honestly, I really wish Brazzers or some shit would do a parody of this game with a guy getting told "Oh shit dude you just fucked your (family relation here)" and then he just freaks out for like 2 seconds before fucking them again.

TLDR: Don't expect anything actually good here, just play it to laugh at the insane concept, beyond that there's very little if anything of value here.

Ps. also there really should have been music in this game but it was deafeningly quiet the whole time.

great one for all incest fans. This is like watching gratifying porn - great visuals and straight into action, the scenes are done by someone who knows how to use DAZ, that's for sure.

Pretty short, but with lots of plot , and even takes a step away from kinetic novels and gives us a few endings depending on your choice accumulation.

The only minus I could name was a lack of sex sounds.

This one is going into the keeper folder

I believe this the best way to tell a story, it should be interesting but not unfounded, makes you want to keep reading.
The MC and the LIs are real, not cliché or grotesque. I loved the bonus gallery.

A complete game that's fun without the bullshit involved in game development.

It's rare for me to rate games but this one is worth every second I played this. The plot is simple: a guy trapped inside an escape room trying to figure out what's going on. No earth-changing revelation, no unnecessary male characters. Just pure unadulterated fun involving a guy and his family.

Basic gameplay involves the main character picking decisions every time he enters a new room. His decision regarding his actions with his family member will determine the ending you'll get. There are three in total. There's a room for replay if you want to see the different dialogues.

Visually, the game's characters look great. You also get a CG/replay gallery to relive scenes you want to see again. The characters look pretty, and you'll probably want to see them again.

Overall, this is an excellent game by the dev especially if you're a fan of incest in your visual novel. With the quality of this game, I'm looking forward to what other games the dev will make in the future. The bar is already set very high, though, but I'm sure the dev will meet my expectations.

Amazing game 4.5/5 stars. beautiful models, great animation, simple story but interesting, good animations.
In my opinion the only real flaw is the lack of a final choral scene with all the characters involved, the always sweet harem orgy

It is amazing the work of this developer, in just 4 months he was able to deliver everything without the need to "milking" and suck the soul of his supporters, like several famous VNS for 3/4 years of development and deliver nothing. Excellent job, I'm looking forward to the next job. 9.5/10 (for more developers like this, it's rare)

The ending was extremely predictable but I still hated it

I hate stories that involve a character getting tricked into doing something only for them to forgive because "they can understand why they were tricked."

All in all animations are alright, and if you are into incest you'll love this game. I just hate the ending

One of the best incest VN on here.

Would have liked it to be a little bit longer, but in any case what's available is very hot, the dev has talent for taboo stories and the endings are great.

LI's are all good looking and even though I usually prefer milfs the dev did great work with the daughters, one of the first stories where I preferred actually preferred them over the milfs. Nice touch adding the MCs mother and aunt at the end with one of the endings.

It was also refreshing to see the women be the ones planning and trying to the dad into it as opposed to the usual

Anyway I hope to see more stories like this from the dev, the ending certainly set up the possibility of making some more.

High productivity, no Patreon milking, and—most of all—an awesome game with great writing, plot, and endings. If only every game and developer were like this. Well done, and I can’t wait for this developer’s next game.
