VN - Ren'Py - Family Affair [v0.122] [PandaLover]

I love the models and the trans charapter in an insteresting news. The story is pretty normal but well developed. We will see how will proceed in the future. May be the progress with charapters is pretty quickly

I want to love this game, but something is just not right... (v0.50)

The characters look OK up to very good and the different personalities are interesting and hot! I love the trans character and the sisters most and I would have loved to see them grow on to the MC!

But this is the main problem of this game in my eyes...
Everything just happens in just a view pages. Be it the story or the sex, everything is over in a view clicks!
The relationships don´t grow, they just start and there is no real chemistry or connection other than "you look good, I look good, let´s do it"! A little more time and dialog would do wanders.
Same goes for the sex-scenes, they are all just quickies! No fooling around, no dirty-talk, just do it and done...

I guess this game is too far in the making but I would love to see it with a much more detailed story and character growth!

But if you just want a short story with nice images, this still can do it for you!

pros
the trap is so cute, that's the main reason why I rate this game, hope she will have more story in the future.
all of the models are hot.
cons
the characters' facial expression is weird, they look so twisted.
mc looks too young.

This game is good potentially. It has decent looking renders, though it's setup is as boring as they come. You live with weirdly horny Mom, you go to high school.

The MC is "meh" quality. He doesn't make you hate him, but he's a bit annoying (and annoying looking). I'd give the MC a 5 out of 10.

The MC hasn't been with any women because he's not good with them, so he recruits the help of his Sister a carbon copy (stolen) of Claire from Resi 2 Remake. She's okay, I actually like her, but don't care for the model.

We have Rose who is a bit overbearing but is probably the most alluring character in the game. She has a great character model, but her face looks a bit derpy at times. There is a trap in this game. I thought it would be her, sadly she isn't and the actual trap is disapointing.

The Mom on the other hand is too bland. She's a horny mom even by horny mom standards. Apparently she and Claire got into a fight because she fucked her daughters boyfriend?!?! She is so 2 dimensional that it hurts. I'd suggest adding personality quirks beyond her looking at the MC's dick the whole time. Did I mention the MC walks around naked at home and it's cool. Or the time when you can watch her masturbate, she catches you and she just smiles as you leave. I'd like some form of tension, but that's just me.

The other characters are not important really. Archetypes like best friend/friends mom/uptight teacher/horny teacher exist and aren't really expanded on.

I think it has potential, but the little things that bother me; borrowed character assets, horny bland mom and standard plot don't leave me interested. However, these might not bother you, so it might grab your interest. I'd say the best thing this has going for it is the character models and the mom's character model. I hope PandaLover can turn this sorta bland cupcake into a multilayered wedding cake.

I'm a big fan of what's there. Sure some of the writing is a bit derpy, but it's what you'd expect from a porn game. In some ways it makes the characters a bit more endearing. Speaking of which, the characters look great. Another big plus is that this game seemingly gets frequent updates.

The renders are bland and standard quality, nothing great.

Google translate grammar makes it impossible to engage with the story

It has those awful 2 frame "animations" that devs really shouldn't even bother making

Most sexual content so far is in the form of dream sequences, instead of having actual interactions with the characters to build upon. That's a waste of time imo, just to show off some mediocre little sex scenes.

I'm a trap man myself, but the 3dcg is not worth it.

The precise critique lays in the fact that when you stick your penis in, the ass has no dynamic.

the trap is also less of a moe trap than I thought, just my opinion.

Plenty of content, also I don't know how you're rendering and rigging your models, but you're making a lot of uncanny valleys.

Damn, It's been a while since I had so much fun with a 'new' game. I mean it's got everything: sexy time, porn, humor, good looking girls of different age and size, a hot mom (who cheated with her daughters boyfriend on prom, how cool is that, ha !) and the Dev especially did a great job on the 'facial expressions', I like that a lot. And oh yeah, nice futa ( she is really lovely) and lesbian content. You see, actually this game has everything you need... So 5 stars for me, keep up the good work Dev !

Review v.0.2, updated v.0.53

Normally I try to avoid reviewing games this early but it seems this one has sufficient content already.

The story is about a guy who's living with his mom(?) while his sister(?) has moved out. He also has rather gorgeous redhead childhood friend(?).

So the premise is at least somewhat innovative. The characters are really well done in my opinion, not one of them looks recycled and all of them are pretty in their own way. Also the scenes I found pretty well done. And has quite a bit of content, both storywise and sexual.

That brings us to the problem: the translation. Although apparently the dev has hired a translator (credited on the opening screen) there is still a lot to be desired. Notice that in the introduction above I put question marks next to the relationships of the characters? That's because they are not properly introduced. It feels a bit rushed from that point of view and it would be great if the dev could add some explanation.

As of v.053, the translation is much better in the latest updates (didn't check the beginning again).

Pro's:
- Nice characters
- Nice scenes
- Interesting premise

Con's:
- Translation
- Story is a bit rushed
- Dream sequences are clearly dreams. I'd prefer e.g. a cloudy border, black and white scenes, slightly foggy renders or something like that to distinguish them.

All in all, probably between 3 and 4 stars but I'm giving the game the benefit of the doubt because it's only a 0.2.

If the dev can fix the textual problems it could become a 5 star game.

Update v.0.53:
Although the text is becoming much better, the story is still not great. And it seems to be pretty linear. It partially makes up for this by having nice models and renders. To me it's a solid 4 star game.

0.2 update
This is the very essence of ENGRISH.
Its horrible to read. Many sentences dont make sence. Many words are outright wrong, and then there is the mix of actual russian as well.
Add on top, that about a third of the textboxes are "..." and nothing else.

The game seems to be about as well made as any project youd see in a beginners computer class. The story is wonky, rushed and very badly told.
The graphics seems like this programmer doesnt know how to make facial expressions. So you get a lot of doll stiff open mouth expressions, that can come off entirely offputting.

Upside for those that likes it.. Instasex. And sex with everyone you meet instantly without any hassle.
But.. thats the only decent part about this game. Because it lacks in, language, writing, story, graphics. And all of them in such a big amount, that I doubt it can be salvaged.

This is based off of the content available

PROS
Good story
Characters are interesting
The ladies all look hot

CONS
The English needs some serious polishing
There were a couple of black screens with missing images
The MC looks like he's 12

Overall
Not a bad start to what might be a decent VN/game.
The dev needs to work on the translation to English. There were a couple scenes with Russian instead. The flow of the VN is nice. It doesn't feel forced on the player. The MC needs a minor update. He looks like he's a lot younger than 18. Keep up the good work, and hopefully this thing takes off in the future.
I recommend giving this one a try.

Preliminary Rating since this is a 0.1 version - I might update it for a later, more complete review. Also, lack of content is NOT reflected in the rating, obviously. The four stars still represent POTENTIAL much more than actual, existing content. It is meant as much as an encouragement to the dev that he is onto something here, as it is for potential players to have a look at the game with some positive bias.

Content: Equivalent of one game day, three short and one somewhat longer scene with erotic content. (2BJ, 1 Lesbian/Cuni, 1 Female Solo)
Content is presented as a VN with (some) choices, no sandbox in sight (cross your fingers)

Cons:

Machine translated from Russian, with all the known problems (nobody was "put to cancer" yet though ) Overall understandable, but sometimes a bit jarring.

Neutral:

Story is pretty absent yet and what is there is the standard of the incest/school genre. Young buck starts to get horny for all the females around him and will probably succeed at some point. Could be improved upon in future updates.

System is the par of the course for games like this, nothing really distinguishing it to the positive or negative.

Pros:

Characters apart from the bland MC have the potential for some actual depth and quirkyness. There are some hints there already and it stands to hope that the Dev will go further down that path.

Models have variation and look actually different from the usual Bikini Models with huge tatas standard but still very attractive (to me) in their own, individual ways.

The two points above are what pulls the game toward 4 star territory, if you have different focus points, deduct accordingly.

tl;dr:

Pretty standard incest game with some translation problems, but with very nice female models and potentially refreshingly quirky traits that has potential to be above the average if not downright good with enough work and finetuning.
