I edited my review based on the latest events regarding this game.
This game have had huge potential to be one of the best games of its genre. Characters were great, renders were also good and story was somewhat believable. What made this game interesting to me was advertisment of developer, which was that this game will be real life, choice based game. Which means no magics, no potions, special powers or abilities. Another thing was that this game have to MC ( Father and Son) . Except for the fact that this game started to fall apart.
1. Story - It all started there, where the story started to repeat itself. Sort of like deja vu. Some dialogue, especially between Son and Mom, was to desperate and toxic. There was no real progress in the story. Everything seamed same and in place instead of moving. The first 3-4 chapters were great, regarding the story, but eventually it became boring and same.
2. False advertisement - Kyle have had said himself that there will be no magics, potions and stuff like that. Then he/she introduced "Dream Sequences" with some crazed Skeleton. This was his/her attempt to add comedy to depressing game. Of course it failed and non of his/her patreons liked it, as well as the players of this forum. Besides, some crazy skeleton couldn't influence in the development of the story. Dream sequence was a missed opportunity for Kyle, where he/she could introduce some sex scenes, depending on which MC you play and with which character you build relationships.
3. Choice - What it seamed to be choice based game it came out to be choice doesn't matter. And it's like that. Sure you get some point but dialogue and story doesn't change regardless of what you choose.
4. Desperation - When patreons started complaining about the game, that there are no sex scenes and story progression, Kyle become desperate. He/she thought to introduce some sex scene between Son MC and Aunt. The infamous "Rape" scene that backfired, cuz nobody liked it. After that scene Son MC and Aunt continued like nothing happened. That's simply crazy but again i don't have Kyles brain (thank God cough)
5. Multiple missed deadlines - It's like that. Kyle have had missed several self imposed deadlines, constantly breaking them and making up excuses. The latest post of 21 May 2020 proves that. He/she constantly blames others for his/her incompetence and instead of punishing his/her several missed deadlines by canceling pledge, people seam to support him/her even more. Very strange indeed
To short things down, this game is abandoned, it's been like that for 2+ years and who knows if it will ever continue (highly doubtful). If you are a potential patron avoid this dev "Gumdrop Games - Kyle - Dual Family". The same goes for players who never played this game before. Don't waste your time downloading it, not worth it. You aren't missing anything.
