I was told to look at this thread because it should be a shitshow.
To my disappointment, its kinda pretty decent here.
Welp, I checked the Pictures, kinda meh-type of Model, nothing bad but nothing fancy.
Then I checked tags, also nothing suspicious. Checked the Planned tags:
Harem, Incest, Creampie, Pregnancy, and many MANY more
Mh, no mentioning of
NTR or something like that.
Reading comments It seems the game gets released on chapters. First it was a Demo/Prolog and it was more kinda "Vanilla?", where we get to know what happen in the world and we get to know the characters.
Turns out its a heavy story focused game with a more adult/dark theme of game...
Well, no problem for me since I kinda can deal with that stuff (if its told in a good way).
So why the 1.5/5 Stars ? Decided to check the Reviews....oh...OH...What?!
Continued to read the rest of the comments:
So after the Prolog was done, the game got an update and out of nowhere ALL of the LI got raped and/or abused in other way or form by the dad which you cant take revange now because he is dead. Also MC got raped by dad and was throwed out of the house. Ok, thats something new I gonna admit.
1 Point for being unique at least lol.
After like 15-18/20? years later you are "forced" to come back and "forced" to work in this house despite you have already established your own life and the "family" is more strangers to you but MC still accept it. Even less makes it sense if some of them behave really toxic and hostile towards MC.
Not gonna lie, when Dev said "
There will be NO NTR/ swinging planned for this game. This is not something I enjoy, either playing or writing." and from that point on he at least got my attention for his game (which many devs even fail at that.)
Despite this strange over usage of rape trope, I wanted at least give this game a chance since
1.No NTR planned and never will be. And
2.Wholesome stuff in the upcoming (I can hear the lewd handholding already
)
So before I jump in I want at least to know:
A. Did Dad really raped ALL of the family members, excluding MC GF ofc.
B. Are they shown (sex scenes)?
C. Did they enjoy it doing it with him ?
If yes, why no one stopped him and no one tried to escape/tell the authorities ?
D. Is there at the end of the tunnel a harem end ?
I wanted to ask this because before I start I want to know if these LI are redeemable or not.
Its up for debate if and how much a abused character can be "healed/saved" but as we saw, that ALL of the LI gets raped
is a big deal breaker, despite ALL of them probably having their reasons why they needed to be raped in the story by the
same man...again and again...
Now It seems because of that, depsite Dev lingering about the Rape thing, we get to see a complette new story.
Aka no rape by dad, he is still alive to kick in his balls and we get kinda a locate, secure and then bang the LI type of
progress.
Does this sound "very dark" ? I dont know. Compared to the whole fuck up of Dad raping you and your whole Family its not but you dont need to ride that train to reach you goals. You can take the bus, the plane, the car, the bike or even go with your feet. (And if you that beloved you can other people carry you)
What I want to say is that its more in the details of the whole world building and the character experiences what can change that without scarring the audience away.
What I personally want to see in a game where the main focus is on -> redemption, recovery, and healing in a Harem/Romance game porngame ?
->
Establishing a good/reasonable/strong MC
- Since MC is the protagonists and we all like to shine *chaught* I mean the MC, we want to see him in a good light.
That means even if he is doing "bad" stuff like killing, spying or blackmailing etc, in the end he is doing it to help the people he loves and dont has second thoughs of doing it, he dont mind risking his own life to safe the LI which later opens the path for even the most toxic/hostile LI to like MC.
- Big Pee Pee (Bigger then Douche and Dads) obviously
->
Father-Son rivalry
- Since its decided that in the new Version of the game the Father is the Antagonist and he is still alive, the game should make him present, not like in in your typical Anime/Manga where he just sits all day in his chamber and waits MC to grew and confront him.
- Since he is the Antagonist and if the story made him doing horrible bad stuff to the LI, it would be a mistake not to give the statisfaction of killing him by the MC/LI in the story.
->
Variety of LI
- Different type of girls is with different characters is nothing new to have in a harem game BUT also should the problems vary. Aka everyone got raped kinda downplays this "one" LI who also got raped.
- Different type of affection to the MC from LI should vary.
(A example are: Mom wants to feel safe because her husband is a wifebeater and has problems to be alone without MC in a room. Sis got a addict and needs to cope with what happen( insert plot here) and needs the money from MC.)
- Models. Aka variety of model and their looks (lol)
->
Acceptable Fetishes
- You know it already, no NTR, no Raping the LI, Handholding, etc.
- From shy looking expresion who try to avoid seeing MC face to death by snu-snu-ahegao
->
Logical behavior by MC and LI
- If some LI struggles with some serius issues, aka like got raped, they probably wont fall in love with MC in a sec and will
probably struggle to reconnect with this feeling.
(Once again. ThinkDev!Think.png)
- Drinking Water and eating food is what some humans need to do to surive and such could serve as a "Platform" to warm up between different LI. (Not only with MC but also with different LI with each other)
->
Character progression
- MC should start from a point on but also change through the story as he sees the horror of the world he gets exposed.
- Same goes for not only the LI, but also some "enemies" of MC (of course they are female
)
- I want to cuck a douche and fuck his GF infront of him. That will teach him bullying the poor elves!
Or if I need to put it figurative:
- "Boroboro no Elf-san o Shiawasenisuru Kusuri Uri-san" or the english name
"The Medicine Peddler who Makes a Battered Elf Happy"
