My impression after quitting mid-Chapter 1:
Imagine a world where everyone speaks sarcastically, dominantly, and cruelly to one another. Imagine being tethered to a handful of people who simply despise your very being and wish you to die, stating it every time they see you, yet you're too simple and lack motivation to just walk away?
This is a sadistic underhanded femdom torture game for the MC, who lives a life of wild circumstances and ends up having to leave town for 15 years. On his return, he is lost and alone, no one cares about him and it's literally shouted in his face that everyone around him wants him dead. They accuse him of being a vicious womanizer who has no heart, and that he - at every opportunity - they scream how much he must be preparing to rape every woman he meets.
"Family Again" is two parts: An off-beat intro "chapter 0" of MC and his best friend living a life of crime and lecherous teenage years. Then "Chapter 1" is 15 years later, when the above two paragraphs are the entire premise of the game.
It's a twisted, nightmarish incel-MC we get to play - if we continue playing.
The story has promise, but the writing is inconsistent and broken, the phrasing completely word-salad odd. Some female characters call the male MC by her name, many use opposite-gender pronouns "her" for guys and "him" for women.
The renders are okay, but many simply need clipping corrections, while most have camera positions, lighting, and focus switch around at random.
THE GOOD:
I almost fell for the women.
Ellie is so cute. Lily is beautiful.
SAD:
I'm not sure what the appeal of a half-shaven head woman is. Is she supposed to be "badass"?
It's too unrealistic in how people simply treat MC like shit at every opportunity, even those who were in love with him before are in his face telling him to fuck off and die, which is a complete personality 180.
I was planning to rate the game. But I know better than to leave a rating here on F95.
My God how can anyone say something so terrible about the lovely Olivia we who have played and understood know that Olivia didn't stay with anyone else after Lucas's niece "Nova" already made it clear to Mc that no one stayed with his girl after Mc find out who Mr. Kim
