Ren'Py - Bubbles and Sisters [v0.8] [Bubbles and Sisters]

Managing a bath house has never been more fun!

Reviewing as of v0.8

Pros:

• A good amount of well endowed girls to get scenes for
• A gallery is included
• Around 1-2 hours of gameplay
• All there girls are voiced which is awesome to see
• The animations in the H-scenes are pretty well done
• The BGM is unique and I like it
• There's a quest/hint system

Cons:

• The progression of the game goes extremely fast. I feel like I shouldn't be progressing as fast with some characters.
• The plot has some holes I'd like covered up. Like what happened to the MC's old job and stuff. How was he able to just drop his career and stuff. Doesn't make sense.
• I'm never a fan of putting a new space/setting in a game and we can't enter it cuz it's under construction

Conclusion:

This game has come a long way since I played an extremely early version. It's starting to blossom into something fun and unique and I hope future updates do the game well. I recommend people playing this game right now and come back in a few updates to see how much has progressed.

Great game. The plot is simple, but still interesting to play. I really liked the girls absolutely all and the graphics are also good. The music and fully voiced dialogues of the girls are just the bomb for me, I really liked it. Of course for version 0.7 I expected a little more content, a little short in my opinion for now. This is the only minus in my opinion, I really liked the game.

Excellent game, from its art style to its theme, I love it.

The game doesn't take itself seriously, which is good, and a lot of 'hentai logic' is contain in this game. However, it does have some serious characters moments here and there, but not so serious that you'll have whiplash, but just enough to give characters to the LI.

If I have to nitpick then maybe the VA isn't the best, but it's not bad either, it's pretty good personally but not amazing.

I'm looking forward till its release on steam.

I'm an easy to please guy, I see incest, I try. The games fully voiced, which is a big surprise usually these games have big gaps as to what they choose to voice act and what not but somehow every line is voiced,artwise it isn't bad, kind of inconsistent but it does the job, the reason I didn't give the game 5 stars is the writing, while I don't mind these short direct to the scenes type of games I'd liked it if there was more build-up, still it wasn't that bad, either way a game I enjoyed and look forward to.

[v0.5 review]

Pros:
- The art. I really love it for some reason. If this game had generic 3d renders, I would've abandoned it long ago.
Cons:
- The navigation is kinda annoying.
- The plot and the writing are basically non-existent. What the fuck is happening in this game? Who the fuck are these people? I have no idea. Perhaps I could understand it when v0.1 came out, but now it's a mess.

3/5 only because of the art. Perhaps the artist should collaborate with some people who can make a good game.

v0.5
Really fucking awful, have no clue why the ratings are so high.

Dialogue and writing is high school level at best. There is absolutely no build up to anything. Only a few interactions after MC's dad fucking dies and the mom is already eager to jump on his dick, and one of the sisters sets up a gloryhole to blow him on DAY. TWO. No character development, no exploration of the taboo other than a few dialogues here and there, and no genuine attempt to stand out from the rest of the genre with these extremely generic and cliche archetypes.

No clue who the devs hired to voice the characters but clearly they didn't put much of thought or budget into that decision. I had to turn off the voice acting because it's so bad, just really awkward and cringeworthy line deliveries out the wazoo.

Everyone seems to praise the art but it's extremely inconsistent. Sometimes it looks amazing, other times it looks super rough and unfinished. The animations aren't even genuine animations, just still drawings shoved into a software to "animate" the movements; it's a night and day difference compared to something that is actually hand drawn and designed to be animated.

Don't let the appealing art fool you. This game is a waste of your time and I highly doubt that will change, even with future updates.

Bubbles and Sister 0.5

A promising game with 2D art and some light sandboxing.

A someone young man inherts a Spa from his dad, and meets his old family. Known F95'ers know how the story continues. You meet your mom, a younger clingy sister, and the older tsundere sister. Additionally there are other female love interests.

As for the game mechanics, or better the sandbox, it is very minimal. You can travel betwen different areas, have three day times (morning, day, night/evening). Events are marked with a symbol, so you won't miss them. Should a player even be lost, use the ingame-guide to continue the quest/progress.

As for the 2D art, I'm a lover of 2D arts, and prefer them more than 3D CGI. It's all about taste. I like the sillyness of the art, and still it captures the sexiness of the MC's love interests. Some lewd scenes are animated, some are just static pictures.

As for now with 0.5, the content is okay, and I had my fun for that time. I don't know about the update schedule, since I discovered it today.

Keep it up, Bubbles and Sisters!

Review for v0.5

I don't usually play games this early in development but the art looks so good I couldn't wait.

Pros:
+ Amazing art
+ Great characters and personalities
+ Voiced
+ Emily

Cons:
- Some voicelines are a tad cringe, and sometimes the facial expression is too stiff.
- Real fastburn with some characters

That said, this game is so promising and I look forward to more content!

Game is taking many steps back with the change of art... The development of story barely moved, the H scenes are pretty good. But the personal backgrounds are horrible. Hope in the future game evolves better.

I love your art. Just played 0.41v and I can confirm that you made a huge progress in comparison with your first release.
I do love your recepcionist girl, she is so lovely but strickt =D
Lisa is my bestie, good scene!
Yoga milf is adorable.
I would love to see how you develop your story. Good luck!

Good so far, could be better but could also be much worse, so we'll see what's available in future updates. Hopefully plenty of content with the family (years worth), F/M/F and F/F/M/F scenes, more shower scenes, some from the hidden barn room. Slow burn story progression hopefully. Might update later after playing .3 (eventually .4) from .1

Girls are hot, art is original (this is very cool), it has incest, a HOT mom, the progress with the story is good, and the MC has a giant fucking hammer dick to destroy every girl. Anyways, the game is at its beggining, but I have a good feeling it will be a really great game

Hot girls and great ambience. Nothing new on the porn-trope side, but the overall setting might provide some opportunity for an original story in some way.

Writing is not bad; I like the exchange between MC and "Rose" in the beginning: it's a charismatic start that, while not maintained evenly through the game, doesn't exactly fall off either. I feel like the game isn't sure whether it wants to be a standard incest porno or whether it wants to assert itself a bit more and do something more ambitious.

I really like the size and structure of the map in this game. It's an unusually interesting environment, and a great setup for puzzle elements like the locked door. If it were up to me, I'd lean into the environment by having clues distributed inconspicuously around the place and areas/characters you unlock by figuring out how to integrate those clues into answers -- a lot like the Myst games. I realize that's a very specific thing to want, but it's what occurred to me the most as I explored the map initially.

The girls could use a bit more depth as well. The author can clearly write a decent repartee; more would go a long way here. Maybe some of the characters have a backstory -- and speaking of which, why does nobody give a shit that the dad died? No need to drag it down with grief but the dude almost never comes up, which seems weird to me.

Unsolicited thoughts for the author: I'd say you have great ingredients, now focus on making it really cohesive. The music and visual environment pull the game into thoughtful, serene territory. You could have girls who take that ethos into their personalities, providing a more cerebral slow burn. The bath house can have its own story you discover slowly as you interact with it and the characters. The way you've done the art style and mapping would be a masterpiece with the right pacing and structure.

Five stars because I've never played anything that hit quite this way before and you'd be missing out if you didn't give it a try.

WOW for an First update and release this Game its and absolutly Gem, It has a Lot of potetial and i hope it keep getting updated, for now i will wait for a major update to rte this game but i do not recommend play it for now it to Raw to eat xd.
I liked a lot the desings very fappables.

Good H-Game so far. The strongest points about the game are: character design and art. Gameplay and story is decent. The amount of content is a bit lacking, wish there were more H-Scenes. Looking forward for future updates.

Review for v0.2

The character art carries this game so far. I think the concept of running a bath house with your family is fun for a lewd game, but this is so incredibly dumbed down and basic that I just find it super boring.

The writing boils down to overplayed incest tropes and fetch quests. Half the characters didn't even get a proper introduction and the first interaction I had with one of the sisters was "go find me a screwdriver." Most of the non-sex scenes feel like simple brief encounters that end abruptly. It's all just very forgettable.

The pacing and relationship buildup is nonexistent. One of your sisters randomly makes a gloryhole in your room to blow you on like day two and you have full blown sex with your mom after doing yoga with her three times (which you have to spam time skips to accomplish because you can only do it on weekends). The animations are fine, and again the character art isn't bad, but then there's also the fact that this uses AI backgrounds and just adds an intense blur over them for sex scenes.

I get wanting to create a more simple experience, but this lacks the smaller details and quality to make up for going that route imo. I think even three stars is generous right now, but it is early in development after all. As it stands, I'd only return to this to download a full gallery save from someone. I don't feel like I'd be missing out on anything by doing so.

Unique artwork potential is there also brown female is hot as hell hope the devs stay on the game for the long run as for the story is fine hope it doesn't get to complicated and stays simple ps hope brown female soon get her sex scene

This game has a good start but it would be immensely helped by some QOL updates.

You can easily get lost in the roaming. It would help if each arrow had a notice of where it leads.

The content is not bad for a new game, but I'm not sure about the art style. I don't usually like the art style presented in this game, but it works pretty well. Except the nipples on the girls. They are all the size of frisbees. It kinda ruins the boobs on each model that I've seen.

Overall, this game has a ton of potential and I see it becoming a huge favorite on this site for many people. It just needs to time to cook. Give it a few updates before you check it out.

So far so good. Maybe add a patch to remove step family part? Other than very enjoyable and keep up the great work. I don't have much to complain about once you get the story going its pretty straightforward.

Review for V0.1

Writing
- The writing is coherent and fits the pacing and plot of the game
- The plot isn't very serious, which generally works with the game type; it's always refreshing to see a plot that isn't overused as much.
- Dialogue between characters and, in general, flows well and is pretty fun.

Girls
This is where I think the game really shines, the girls are straight-up just interesting; they do follow general "archetypes" of LIs but they're done well
- Unique designs; I always appreciate when small aspects like height are considered in designs
- Unique interactions; They all feel different when interacting with them

Game Design
- Like many, I'm generally cautious when it comes to sandboxes, but I think this game does it well; the sandbox is a centralized location, and each room has icons to signify who's in there.
- Tags are accurate
- Scenes do seem to be animated

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with this game and would definitely recommend you try it. For a first release, It deserves 5/5 stars, and I hope it keeps it up.

(Emily is peak character design and best girl)
