VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Exposed [Ep. 4.0 Patreon] [GoldenGob]

Been a fan of GoldenGob for a couple years now. Finally time to review Exposed.

Pros:

• Amazing sex scenes
• Choices matter and you get different routes/scenes
• Gallery in the game
• 1-2 hours to complete 100%
• Large-proportioned women which is a plus for me
• BGM and SFX are good

Cons:

• Story isn't all that great but GoldenGob did say this was a parody project so...
• Patreon wall sucks but you can download the wall-locked stuff separately. Just annoying
• The pop quizzes are alright but can be frustrating at times

Conclusion:

Yeah, play it. Especially if you like GoldenGob's work.

The mother is really hot, and that's great, because this game focuses on her. There is a huge variation of scenes, poses and angles and settings where the MC is with her, which leads to a great sense of variety and progression throughout the game. The visual novel style of the game also removes the open-world tedium, imho.

Great game for a quick fap. The models might look a bit off for you if you dont prefer them big. I personally loved the milf. Coming to the story, theres nothing. The game gets straight to the porn. The best part of the game is the amount of branching present, scenes variation and you can even unlock multiple endings. Do give it a try if you want something casual to play

v3.8 Reviewed

This title has decent production values on its UI, even if the art, dialogue, story, and execution are all below average.

For starters, the mom is fine, and I won't even complain about the paywalled scenes because devs gotta eat too.

I do take issue with the pop quizzes that absolutely require you to have read and memorized details of Busted to progress.

This is very short, there is no tension or buildup between "student" and "mentor-landlady-notmom" and as such, this title ends up becoming more of a trope showcase than a VN.

Less of a story and more an increasingly-unlikely chain of unrelated lewd scenes, this caters to the lowest common denominator of VN players: Those with only a theoretical understanding of intimacy and the attention span of a TikTok addict.

It's a shame, because there's talent in there with a clean (if somewhat non-intuitive) UI, and nice, organized code.

Sadly, the three pillars of a successful project just fall short of the mark: Story, characterization, and visuals are mid-tier at best.

Far and away from the worst pseudo-incesty title in circulation, but struggles to even tread water with the mid-range.

Writing: 5/10
Imagery: 7/10
Gameplay: 5/10
Kinks: 5/10
Overall: 6/10

Should have called it "PAYWALLED"

Hey, I get it, don't hate the player, hate the game. Everyone needs to make a buck, and locking content behind paywalls is pretty much the only way you can make it feasible to charge for sex games these days.

Story isn't much to shake a stick at, you're just paying the typical horny teenager looking to fuck his totally not related mother. (rolls eyes sarcastically)

This also isn't a game, it's a VN, so there's not gameplay to speak of and the choices are very clearly A or B, with B behind held aloft like a princess in a tower so you only have access to the more tame and boring choice.

Graphically the production does look a step up, but, not so much that it actually wowed me.

Pretty good game for what it's trying to be, definitely worth at least 4 stars. I don't know the source material that it's parodying so my review isn't based on that.
I played the unlocked version, I suggest doing the same because the game is already quite short and this version introduces quite a bit more alternate scenes. Make sure to check the notepad files to see the answers to give to unlock more stuff.
The story is ok, nothing particularly deep but as I mentioned the game is pretty short to begin with.
The renders and animation are pretty good.
It's a short game that goes straight to the point and I think that it does it pretty well, I recommend trying it.

One of the best Game. Storylines are Good. Graphics is Improving. Sex scenes are Interesting. No Grinding element is Best. Easy not too hard Gameplay. Also Music Sounds are Perfect.

Hope there're Pregnancies adding to the Next Game. Looking forward to the updates. Keep up the Good Work

First off, I should mention that my original review was censured, so with that as a warning, please beware, this may not be a purely objective review.

I've played version 3.2 (ie. all features enabled), which I think corresponds to the current PUBLIC version 3.0. My general opion is that overall, is a pretty good game/VNl!!

Specifically it has....
-Decent writing, and from a native English writer no less (don't underestimate this)
-Good pacing (ie. buildup and distance between action scenes)
-Fairly good renders
-Stale, but well implemented, storyline trope of a mother (landlady/mentor), corrupted to (oh my!) accidentally have sex with her son (tenant/protegee), even though the husband/father/others are present in family.

So with that said, I start my rating with a 4 out of 5... good, but not great overall game/VN rating.

Adjustments as follow:

(-2 points) The HUGE elephant in the room is the Pay / Patreon - wall. WTF bro!!! How greedy can you get. The difference between the "Patreon" version (thank you Anon4321) and the public / F95 version is huge...literally NIGHT and DAY!!! The vanilla version is almost unplayable, with significant portions of the H scenes absent, and big chunks of the plot line removed. Even with the trick questions properly answered you still don't get the crucial (and extended H) scenes. Additional hint: With the Patreon version you will always get more by chosing the "CONTINUE" option during H scenes. This issue is tremendous dissappointment and frustration.

(-1 point) clunky mechanics ... between the trick questions (see spoiler above) and the locked/unlocked versions, this makes for a huge distraction to the overall game play. In particular these disruptions come at critical "visual" and "story" points.

(-1 point) Limited animations and audio. While these are two different qualities, I didn't really mind their absense too much and ended up combining them both into this one point reduction.

My final opinion is therefore a dismal 1-star rating. Which basically means don't bother downloading. I realize this in stark contract to all the other 5+ reviews (some of which are, curiously 1-time user IDs), but this is my honest opinon.

Bottom Line: Not worth the download.

I was a big fan of the original Busted series (many nuts busted!) and I enjoy this type of animation and artwork. Maybe it’s nostalgia. Many will think it’s outdated and that’s fine because it works for me. I think the creators quality of work keeps improving on every updates.

The dialogue can be pretty funny and I genuinely laughed at a few parts, like the “sicko mode“ option in version 2.5.

Overall this is a nice simple game with some nice quality of life features like a gallery and the ability to skip. One small note is the dialogue box should be opaque by default not solid.

Looking forward to more updates (and more busting of course!)

I have really enjoyed Exposed series from the early beginning.
I will present just some important issues, without going too much into technical details.
Exposed is a very promising, high quality RPG.
Above fascinating, spicy plot, high quality models and combination of pictures and videos, it has a unique feature - it is connected simultaneously to the past, present and future.

1.) PAST. Exposed series roots goes to Busted series by Kalevra. Busted has returned as a visual parody.
In my opinion, it is the rare case when the reincarnation (Exposed) is better than the starting original (Busted).

So, if you were a big fan of MILF queen Brenda and her adventures with theson / husband etc / and all and you are still looking for the remnants of the old art, you would better discover Exposed games.

2.) PRESENT. It is a REGULARLY updated series with a visible progress of everything - quality of the models, complexity of the action and a variety of sex positions used, fascinating plot and a good sence of humor of the author. It is extremely important you can REALLY have a communication with the author (Goldengob) either on the Discord forum or through Patreon. / Subscribestar and you can see with your own eyes your ideas or dreams implemented.

3.) FUTURE. Albeit Exposed is a three part series and hopefully we will enjoy soon the last part of it (Yahooo!) , we as supporters, can influence the future evlution / development of things.
Personally, I would be delighted to see a prequel or sequel of this story, like "Pre-exposed" or "Over-Exposed" . Anyway, Goldengob has big plans for the future and I wish him good luck!

P.S. In the past I have tried to use the same program in order to develop something similar to Exposed and get stuck very quickly - it is a really complex issue requiring a lot of patience and imagination. This is the reason I became a supporter of this art.

Although its quite short, the animations and artstyle are great. Lewd scenes with Brenda are amazing if you are a milf and big boob lover and don't take much time to get to. There's alot of potential here and previews for upcoming content from GoldenGob are quite juicy. Overall, a very brief and enjoyable experience.

Good VN as a spinoff of the main game (The Wants of Summer).

Im digging the artsyle and renders. Animations are decent too!

Not a big fan of patreon walls within the game, but it's fair enough that the developer gets something back from making a game/VN.

Many people still love the product that comes from this program and I am included. That said, the product this creator makes is pretty good. Not to say that it's perfected, but the models are special to certain tastes. The game is linear, but has interesting animations.

This game has a 3 rating because the writing and story just aren't there. That said, the animations need some work too, but I don't want to discourage the creator from this system. Tweaking the renders, and getting a writer would make this a 5.

I originally submitted a review for the Episode 01 Demo version, but now I am updating it for the Episode 03 Completed version.

My original hatred for the game was that it was a Patreon paywall game. After quickly having sex with the mom, there was an option to "Keep Going" or "Cum - Patreon". Then soon after it was another Patreon prompt. And then another. It was really annoying.

But I will adjust my review for the unlocked version since someone uploaded the unlocked version.

There are a lot of things I don't like about the game. But I will start with some things that I do like. The mom has big tits. Okay. Now for the things that I don't like.

Both times that I played this game, I spent like 3-5 minutes trying to figure out how to adjust the sound because the developer made it extremely hidden and hard to get to. If you right-click on the screen, you only get Save, Load Save, Delete Save, Resume Game, and Quit. No way to get to Preferences. But on the very bottom of the screen are extremely tiny and faint (almost invisible) Quick Menu options and one of them is Prefs. It took me forever to find it. All while the loud music was blasting on my speakers. So yeah, that's a big complaint that I have. I wrote it in my review almost a year ago, and the developer never took my feedback seriously and just left it like that. Luckily, the developer didn't completely remove Preferences or hide some Preference settings like Skip Unseen, etc.

Adding on to that, I don't like the other changes the developer made with the load load/save screens. Normally, by default, a Ren'Py game lets you have around 12 save slots per page and you are always able to see at a glance what each save looks like from the screenshot. But the developer decided it was better to make only 3 save slots per page, and you don't see a preview image for any of the saves unless you hover over each save. A very stupid design choice.

At first, I thought the model characters were a bit disappointing. But the second time that I played it, a year later, I think the models are good. So that's why I increased my rating from one to three stars.

The first time that I played the game, I really hated the dialog. The developer did use punctuation and capital letters where needed, but the dialog was extremely infantile and the young character was calling the older female "Step-Mum" every sentence, which was very annoying. The second time I played the game, I didn't pay attention to the dialog but it looks like the developer improved it so that's another reason why I increased my rating from one to three stars.

I predicted that the game would be extremely short because it was described as a "short game parody". But the three episodes provide enough sexual content, so it is an acceptable length.

Both times, I thought that the three questions in the game that you must answer correctly to proceed were pointless and dumb. I never read the comics or played the other game, and forcing me to know the character names from them was aggravating. The answers are 1.) Busted, 2.) Jane (sister), and 3.) Kate (daughter). Why the developer thought it was a good idea to force players to search on the forums for the answers is beyond me, and names don't matter to me at all. What if the sisters name was Beth instead of Jane? Or Susan instead of Jane? Do names matter that much? Maybe if it was an extremely popular game that everyone has heard of and thinks is epic, then it would be worth being trivia. But since it isn't that sort of game, then no it shouldn't have become trivia. And besides, I find it boring and tedious to have to answer trivia in a sex game to begin with.

I give this game a solid three star rating. Had there never been an unlocked version loaded to F95, I probably wouldn't have even bothered rewriting my review.
