I can rate this game in a single sentence: You can jump. And I do that because jumping is like one of the basic things that have defined video games ever since Donkey Kong. And this is what this game is, this game has so many nice little details and nods to other games, and the strange 50s/70s setting, it's just amazing.
Pros:
- Game looks gorgeous: It's basically Mother with sex and without RPG elements. It looks so good that you can even swap some of the assets and it would pass as an Scott Pilgrim Game.
- Characters are great: All characters are likable, except Tess.
- Great controls and gameplay: I know a lot of people don't like free roaming games for some reason, but this one is very smooth with movement and the quest marker helps a lot.
- Music is pretty damn good: Self explanatory.
- Dev listens: I refused to play this game for so long because of the scene involving the cop that was removed because players didn't like it. I would support any dev who listens to their players like this.
- Good amount of content: Since I hold from playing this game this whole time, I can say that the amount of content is very decent for most girls.
Cons:
- NPC placement: Some NPCs appear only once per day around town and no more. For example, your sister is only in her room during mornings, and she is not around at all after that, not even at school. Same with plenty of other NPCs that completely disappear off the map suring the rest of the days for no particular reason. Doesn't make them feel too real. Can be simply fixed by, using the sister as an example, have her at school in the morning and in her room in the evening.
- Events advance daytime: This is kinda personal, but events advancing daytime all the way to next morning without a warning is a bit annoying. I usually try to make the most of a single game day.
- Some relationships feel extremely rushed: The swimmer girl has a very nice pacing when it comes to getting to a blowjob and it's nicely justified. However, things like having sex with your sister or your sister friends feels like they happen literally one after the other, because they do. Tess is specially aggravating, I understand her storyline will continue later on, but out of nowhere she decided to have sex at school after a handjob and that's it.
- The UI could use some work. It looks fantastic, but it isn't too smooth to navigate. It lacks more in depth information, specially in the relationship tab.
- You are locked out of revisiting content when you finish. Something that can easily be fixed in the future, along the previous point. I thought maybe adding different characters to the character review, not just the MC, so you can see them naked in the PC, for example.
- Totally not incest: And this is the reason the game don't have 5 stars. It's jarring that despite being assigned as mom, the MC still refers to her as Melissa.
It seems like it has more pros than cons, but the pros easily outweighs the cons and it's a game worth playing, because it is properly a game, and a good one in most aspects.
