Unreal Engine - Don't Disturb Your Stepmom [v0.028] [Lemonhaze Studio]

I have a lot to say but since this is still a working project, I think it's best just to point out what's weird and should be addressed ASAP as well as commend the creator on what they've done right. Since I like to get the bad news out of the way first, I'll list my issues with this game:

• Janky controls - Not refined, odd movement for both the MC and other characters. Probably due to how freely they can be positioned during sex scenes. I would try to change it so there are multiple poses with limited posing that can be done by the player. I would look to the game 'Some Modeling Agency' for some inspiration on this.
• Janky Voice Acting/Writing- The use of AI voice models is innovative and I support the idea in general, but the implementation of it in this game is... well I would say just remove it until you come across better voice models. I'm not a fan of the weird Morty-like voice for the MC, it got annoying very quickly.
  • Side note - There definitely needs to be some proof-reading for the script. A lot of typos and grammatical mistakes. If the creator reads this review, feel free to reach out to me. I can help with creating more natural dialouge.
• Graphics - This is more of a 'neutral' side, as its your stand run-of-the-mill Unreal game from the last few years. There are some areas that need to be polished for sure. But I will give kudos for using a unique environment that I haven't seen yet.

Now the good:

• Gameplay- To me, there's something more to this game than what has come out for a lot of similar 3D games like this. There are some mechanics in this game that help it go beyond just a fucking simulator which causes the player, at least at first, to be aware of thier surroundings. Right now, the MC and stepsister are banging around the house and for most of the scenarios, you have to keep somewhat quiet or the stepmom will investigate. If the stepmom sees you with the stepsister or naked in general, it's game over. The creator also put in some distractions around the house for the MC to use to stop the suspicion level from rising. Additionally, there are moments where the stepmom will interrupt only for you to have a limited time window to escape/hide. To me, I appreciate this as it adds an extra level of gameplay that I don't normally see in other games.
• Scenarios- Mentioned this already, as of this review there are 9 scenarios, all of which have to do with the stepsister. But it's clear from dialouge and currently locked content that there are plans for the stepmom and what I'm assuming is the stepsister's best friend in the future. There's various objectives within the scenario that need to be completed in order to advance. Normally these objectives are having the MC cum, the stepsister orgasm, hide, talk to character, move object to another location, etc. etc. There's enough variation here that I'll touch on more in my recommendations.
• Character customization- You can't customize the MC since this game is completely first person. But you can customize the stepsister and in the future, the stepmom and a 'best friend' (that has yet to be seen in game). There's a good amount of customization, some sliders available that I haven't seen in other games which is always nice. You can't change skin tone right now but otherwise you have a decent range of options. Just don't expect it to be like Home Together.
• Optimization- I'm running this on an RTX 3080 on epic quality and there are no issues. Obviously your mileage will vary but it seems this game is pretty well optimized in comparison to some of the other games on here.

Recommendations:

• I hope the creator is here to read these because I think the game can become something good as long as they have a good direction in where they're going and what they want to do. I'd recommend that the following should be done in near future updates to ensure interest in this game stays alive:
  • Focus on adding content for the stepmom.
  • Get rid of the AI voice models until you find one that meets standard quality.
  • Proof-reading, proof-reading, proof-reading. (I'm available if need be)
  • In future scenarios, try to create more options for the players to do. Different paths to complete objectives. People like variation in gameplay if it can lead to different results.
  • Don't be afraid to implement time limits, or even reduce times down for current scenarios. I like the idea of the door is second's away from opening and I have to make a quick decision as to whether I'm going to run or hide.
  • More customization options- hair options, clothing options, etc. People like to create, give them to tools to do it.
• But if I were to emphasize anything, add more content and when doing so, focus on creating options within the environment for the player to use. The creator clearly already understands this as it's been implemented in some of the scenarios. Hopefully they keep on this track and evolve from it.

I've only seen two updates for this game on this website so far, so I'm going to assume that this is a relatively new project and the creator is still invested in this game. If this game was 2 years old with "consistent" updates, it'd be 2 stars. But I like to encourage creators, especially when there is potential for it to grow into something special. Considering all of this, it's tentatively 4 stars right now in my opinion. I know people don't like rating on a game's potential, rather the state it's in now. But I'd rather see more people try this game out and give critical reception, rather than slap it with a 1 star rating because it doesn't have the same features as a game with years of development. I'll be keeping my eyes on this game for a while.

iTS GETTING PRETTY GOOD
Last time Ive checked it wasn't working at all. Couple of days passed. The Dev dropped an Update it's now pretty promising. Can't wait to see more. Character Creation, more girls, more positions, more gameplay, it's all already there and being worked on. There's of course still blocked stuff and some control jank but I can say for sure that I had a great boner from start to finish and it made the little time it took me totally worth it.
Can't wait to see more !

Game version: v0.028

It's in early stage of development but it's playable and enjoyable despite the bugs.

I played it in epic settings and it was running smoothly with in 2K resolution with a 3080 RTX.

Needs polishing and a more story (like knocking your stepsis up and making family drama and then adding more drama by knocking your stepmom up too )

This game has a great potential and I wish it success and hope it will not stay for years in alpha state because the mechanics are already playable and enjoyable, and I'll definitely support it.

4/5 waiting to become 5/5

Although he did manage to fix the bugs but I still found one annoying bug in the last step that even when I finish and pour my ejaculate on my stepsister I still don't understand what's next I continue to fuck her so the row of red fills up and I still fail but in general you can see that he is trying to fix the The big elephant in the room and I'm quite in favor of this game despite the bugs because if it continues like this adding content and fixing bugs it's going to be a great game

Scenes are not unlocking after finishing them.
Locked to the 3rd event "12 minutes in Heaven", continued past that yesterday and none of that are unlocked and I really dont feel like playing through all that again.
And now I can't use my arms, so everything after that is unplayable.
This is a fucking mess.

Well done. The game provides a first-person perspective, granting players complete control over their movements and actions. However, I would have liked to see a Stepmom secret ending or something similar.

Positive points:
- Good graphics, considering that it is 3D
- Fun physics and mechanics of the bodies (although if they worked well and without bugs it would be much better xd)
- The idea/theme of the game is good.

Bad points:
- EXTREMELY bugged. Probably the buggiest game I play in F95.
- Terrible performance/optimization (RTX 2060, i5 - Medium/low graphics 30fps...).
- Very short and does not invite you to continue playing after finishing the levels, since there is nothing to do, apart from fucking a stepsister, and you can't even move her or change her position... (Maybe even that is bugged).

It's a shame because the IDEA of the game is excellent, but, for example, I had to restart the game every time I passed a level because it just got bugged somehow. At least it would be nice if the "endgame" had several things to do.


ESP:

Puntos positivos:
- Buenos gráficos, teniendo en cuenta que es 3D
- Físicas y mecánicas de los cuerpos divertidas (aunque si anduviesen bien y sin buguearse seria mucho mejor xd)
- La idea/temática del juego esta buena.

Puntos negativos:
- EXTREMADAMENTE bugueado. Probablemente el juego con más errores que juega de F95.
- Pésimo rendimiento/optimización (RTX 2060, i5 - Gráficos medios/bajos 30fps...).
- Muy corto y no invita a seguir jugando luego de terminar los niveles, ya que no hay nada para hacer, además de follarse a la hermanastra, y ni siquiera se puede moverla o cambiarla de posición... (Tal vez hasta eso este bugueado).

Es una lastima porque la IDEA del juego es excelente, pero, por ejemplo, tuve que reiniciar el juego cada vez que pasaba de nivel porque simplemente se bugueaba de alguna forma.
Al menos estaría bien que el "endgame" tuviese varias cosas para hacer.

Although the game looks like an unoptimized trash, it has a very interesting gameplay. Perhaps I would look at the development of this story in the future. And we also need to visit the Steam page, in case there is something else interesting there.

This is a very simple sim game sexing with your stepsister, but with few bugs right now. But it can be completed. Although it is listed as "Final" in the title, it is more like an abandoned or unfinished project. It definitely needs more content, such as scenes, poses, and clothes,
The female voices are very good though.

Utter trash.

The animations are terrible and unrealistic, the first blowjob scene, can easily see the male characters cock coming out the back of her head. It reminded me of that scene in Scary Movie in the toilet cubicle where one of the Wayans brothers got screwed in the ear. That was probably the highlight of the game.

Movement is incredibly slow, for no apparent reason. Just mind numbingly tediously slow.

Looking around seems to move the whole body somehow, so in the washing machine scene shown in the screenshot, once you move the MC behind her, if you look down, the lower half of the MC's body actually angles away from her, so you can't actually watch the action, instead you have to stare at the top of a washing machine while the counter inches higher in infinitesimal increments.

The AI voices are terrible, better to just switch them off. The dialogue is also terribly written so even reading it hurts.

There are just no redeeming features of this game.

Peak garbage, It is laggy as hell and the writing is beyond stupid. There's bad spelling everywhere - "diner/dinner" "we just meet" etc, the ai voices sound overly enthusiastic about everything, and the sex scenes are buggy as hell too, which is the main draw to a porn game.
