VN - Ren'Py - Dual Family [v1.22.1ce] [Gumdrop Games]

Idk man, this game has been around for how many years now and yet it's still in, more or less, in the same state it was before. No doubt the dev is only able to spare some time for the development of this game and I get that, but damn. Maybe I'll be proved wrong in the future, but it feels pretty barebones in its current state.

What to say about this game? Or rather, can we call it a game?
I was a patron (at first, before it was abandoned), it was (at the time) my favorite game. As a lover of incest games, I had within the same game, the two themes I liked the most, Father-Daughter and Mother-Son. And that to me was perfect. I loved (and still love) the daughter model, and I was very fond of the mother model. They were perfect for the time, and I still consider them perfect today, graphically speaking, the game is still beautiful even after all these years.
I was very sad when the game was abandoned. And when it came back, it became what we're looking at, which is, nobody knows how to categorize it.
Which makes me think of some hypotheses.
1°: The original developer, either died, or gave the game to someone to take over.
2nd: Assuming he's still the original developer, he's facing some kind of severe psychological disorder, and he's using this game as some kind of therapy.
3rd: Still assuming it's the original developer: He thought to himself and said: fuck it, and he's making some single images and seeing if he can get a large group of idiots willing to pay for them.

Rating this based on playing as the 'stoic' (spoiler: he's not even slightly stoic)

A lot of potential (good renders, good models except the overly big boobs) but it's just ruined by an MC you can't get past.

The onboarding relationship setting makes no sense at the point you see it, the MC is a coward,utterly afraid of women and always snivelling and begging a witch of a woman, no matter how unreasonable.

MC reminds me of a self proclaimed nice-guy being strung along by a girl and it's very uncomfortable

The game has literally no sex scenes in it after years in development.
What started as a good promising teasing game ended being a teasing game only with a huge amount of characters that their only purpose is to confuse you with a plot that rivals the bible in making sense
Renders - 4*
Plot - 0*
Scenes - what scenes?
Overall - Terrible
Stay away , its not even worth the download

there was already potential, but no one knows what is happening with the story and it seems that both the characters (all) and the creator have serious mental disorders that are not mentioned or treated over the years of the novel's activity

I found the writing to be absolutely awful, with constant useless naval gazing self-dialog from the MC. There weren't any descent scenes, the Mc a pushover simp, and here hasn't been any real progression after 5 years in dev?


Sorry to be so blunt, but it is what it is.

I usually dont give game reviews but this crap.
Bad story writing , some parts dont make logical sense .
F - Story
A- Renders
F-Sex Scenes ( There isnt any , why did u even post it on this site ? )
F-Weird UI interface where u have to specifically name every character and relationship to make it a "incest" game .Just stop.

This game was very good once. Sadly, it had detoriated into madness. For a long time now creator has no longer been willing or even able to continue this game in a way that makes any sense. If I was the guy who made this game, I would be embarrassed by the latest „updates“.

Terrible just terrible, literally no content in terms of sex content. Just stills and no sex what a let down. If your looking for a game that the title implies you're not going to get it. I would go as far as saying this isn't even an adult sex game. Just a boring story with bad still images. Fire up your auto clicker if you do actually download don't bother reading anything its not worth the time waste.

worst fucking game ever, wtf is with this shit, played for 3 hours skipping through all the text to try to finally get to some actual sexual content and its got fuck all, wtf is this even a h game or just a random novel with some semi sexy stills in it, fucking rubbish, I have wasted 3 hours of my life

Toooo slow, boring story. Nothing happen.
There is no foward button.
Should have a gallery folder. Every update is a lost of time.
Very hot characters and good renders. Its an italian novel that could be better with a few changes.

while it has great artwork the rest of the game is a terrible disappointment
I like the cousin/niece story and am kinda ambivalent about the sister/sister in law story I find the sister/sister in law kinda weird.

The whole psychedelic trip thing isn't for me either its vastly more intelligent than I can account for or the dev is just "out there". (I used to work in aerospace r&d, you do the math)

While I do like the art of the mom/wife a few smiles wouldn't hurt, maybe she needs Antidepressants or to sit on the sons dick a bit. The daughter is all but perfect in my eyes both artwork and personality wise.
I have been following this game for a lot of years and it has brought me a lot of disappointment.

It is too long, we have been waiting for this for years. This should not be that long of a wait. Please remove this from the search. I don't think anyone who download this will be happy with the content. It is badly designed. The story move extremely slowly. Nobody likes it.

I'm here for Stroke the hell out of myself but end up book hangover
well this game is a good story written And a minigame that don't force you to play (A jigsaw game) The UX is great the render is great

this game have 2 side of the story you can choose at the start
1.Big guy path (Or should I call dad?)
2.Boy path

I start playing as a "BOY" path and feel regret for judging the "Big guy" Character by only a single side of what happen after playing a Big guy path . I played some of the corrupt game and like it but in this game I don't want to

until the end its only teasing bullshit. never ends up to anything serious business explicit scene...
This game starts promising but never actually progresses. Towards the end it simply becomes randomly crazy with stupid random nonsense.

If you look at discussion, you will see people are not discussing game, but shameless scam that Gumdrop been pulling for years. The story and renders had great potential, but game is abandoned and there virtually no hope for getting any meaningfull update. BTW, don't believe that "Retconed" version, its literally shitpost. Before wasting your hard earned money on Gumdrops Patronite, consider donating it to charity.

Game that has been discontinued for years passing from "on hold" to "abandoned" to "on hold" again for years and now it's allegedly back in development. While the game itself can be worth more than 1 star, depending on your taste, the overall state of the game deserve NONE.
People have been "scammed" for years who continued supporting the creators while nothing came through.
This serve more than a warning than a review; IF you have no problems in playing a game that will probably be abandoned overnight that you might wanna check this out. In any other case steer away from this

Developer is just seeing this project as a cash cow. Don,t expect to see this project completed in your life time.


for 200 character (someone's comment):
Yes it has potential. But went right off track the moment they all went to the aunt's house on that short vacation. You have a Husband & wife who have decided to get a divorce. So what man would then go on a vacation with said wife to her SISTER'S house? Then there is the scene where the cousin/niece fucks the dad. Why? why did that happen? why did the aunt help set that up? They didn't blackmail dad. They didn't video it and show it to his wife to help her with her divorce. None of that made any sense at all.

Then we skip to part II . all I can say after playing a few updates of that is. The dev's family really need to see professional mental help for this dev.!

was a decent game back in time, I dunno what happened, why dev decided to make the game like this but It's very bad right now. definitely deserves one star but I'll give two stars just for the old version's sake.

I'm an old player of this game, i think it was one of the first i downloaded from here. I loved the first updates, the slow moves with mom or daughter. I even ended to support the dev in patreon... and then, time flies.... and never an update coming... time flies again... and we had a christmas update all shit... and i was done.

The idea was nice, the slow moves were nice for the act 1. But no.. no big no for it. The dev is openly taking advantage of his supports.

Do not waste time on this one, honestly, a lot of games are better.

One thing, and this is why i give it 1 star, the dev make me be careful now before any support for creators. I wait them to finish at least 1 game. And if after three months no updates, i'm done.

A shame, the game was promising. But this is all what you will have with... promises.
