As per episode 10
I played family at home 1, havent played lecuyer cult and i just foundout this one so i give it a shot, to sum it up im having a good time so i ll give it a 4* for now, the game focus so hard on incest and milf so if anyone into that, give this game a chance
Gotta say, comparing it to first title is such huge improvement, especially in arts. Second title arts is better, not the best around but its better, more attention paid to detail even tho some still off like an image of mc and hedy leaving hedy secret hideout. Image with house, mc, hedy and a car. Its like the components put into one without proper editing.
I would say the most similarities with the first title is the gap between each hot scene to another is very short, it doesnt take so long before mc took out his d and shoved it into LI, anyone who play avn solely for sex action would feel happy, but others who love to dig in into main story may not really. Id say theres more sex than story in this game, and im not complaining, this style and proportion has its own fans i believe, me included.
Story 6/10
Gotta give it this low cause like the proportion i mentioned before, theres more sex than story in this game. I feel some parts where main story kicked in couldve been made to be more meaningful, impactful and make sense, but many of it was rushed and cut short with some narration and forced to be made sense or even just skipped. Like, he is a hi schooler, but hes also ceo of big company that iirc control half of city?.. hmm.. ok.. he lived with his real fam for 3 years but when he get to his dad office his dad talk like its the first time mc there even tho mc been visiting quite often? The whole trip of mc going to US is to introduce character with stronger power than mc dad so the power pyramid top is now shift to mc grandma? The purpose of the trip wasnt even clear imo. His dad is power freak and his son is pretty much against him but he did nothing to control mc and let him roam free because..? He is his son that he just met 3 years ago? Him being power freak and his will to protect his throne, family name, dynasty, mustve been stronger than his love as father with him doesnt care of blackmailing/scapegoating his family. gotta say, some main story need to be polished. Thats unless some twist or unveiled plot planned ahead, so for now gotta give it 6 sorry.
Sex content 8/10
The sex content is rich for this point of development. I guess its the perk of focusing more on sex content, again im not complaining. Its always been ritual for me to check gallery before playing and it gave me (dirty) smile when i saw this game sex contents quantity. Clicking next page to see another next page button in replay gallery is like getting christmas gift, and if this title episode goes up to 2x like lecuyer cult, i would expect double the sex content or more, that will be dope!, and i would expect kinkier environment and situation, not only costume play. The gap between sex action also very short, its anti blueballing since most sex scene are full intercourse and only some are progressive style like hedy and neringa. There were even extras sex content that doesnt relate to main story like the employees and the plaque pregnant. All scenes also end with proper climax scene, thats one point for me since many avn sometime didnt show the blissful moment properly. Altho the sex scene could be better with some stalling, with raunchy narration, more pov of expression, and more variative and vulgar dirty talk. I also wish there are more character with progressive sex conquest like hedy, Neringa or Sara. Most LI are nymphos so i wish LIs that havent get sex with mc like Jana, Diana, the employees are progressive style, even tho the backstory of some of em is pretty much set stoned as nympho who will jump for full intercourse rightaway.
Sound 6/10
Kinda disappointed on this one. Early scene had voice but after that none. The voice was too low as well. The music of heated up moment seems to be miscategorized, i set music to very low but that bgm of heated moment is so loud which probably categorized as voice. Many scenes also muted, no music, no sfx, and that heated moment music is so random and short, i couldnt even predict when that samd music will pop up as i think the moment it attached to is rather miss. E.g the moment of mc breaching into his dad office would be good with some music and proper stalling, but iirc its muted. Maybe iys another downside on focusing more on sex scene. I hope this got improved in the future.
UI 6/10
The ui is clean, typical renpy ui, nothing special like extra ui element. I rarely give ui point low but i had unpleasant experience with this game. i gotta give it this low because the area of click of menu links are so small and unclear. Idk how dev develop this menu links/buttons but its definitely not link style but rather invisible box button behind and animated text on hover. It is so hard to click menu buttons freely. I need to hover very precise on some random unknown coordinate to trigger the button to work. This is really unpleasant experience so i hope dev fix this asap.
Overall, id say good game, i wish to see improvement in story and fix for the ui. The game could also make uses of some humour, whether in dialog or funny moments. I saw family at home 1 will get remake this year?. I hope dev finish this game first before jumping to another project. And personally i prefer family at home 3 than a remake, but yeah thats just me.
Thx for the games and good luck with the development.
