HTML - Family Business [v0.23 Patreon] [FamilyDev]

I actually liked a lot about this game.
Writing is pretty decent.
Girls are hot.
Grind is not too bad but could probably be tuned down a bit.

So why 2*?

Putting a time gating game over mechanic in a porn game is just about one of the dumbest things you could ever do. When I got a game over because of the suspicion bar I lost all will to play. Of course I had not saved it because what kind of dev wouldn't let you go back? Dev if you read these do you honestly think people are going to regrind the same scenes for hours because they accidently filled a suspicion bar?

I was actually thinking about subbing to this dudes patreon until I got a game over and lost 2 hours of progress lmao.

We aren't playing dark souls here, this a fucking porn game. Remove the game over mechanic and this is 4/5.

I have mixed feelings the game, on the one path you have what i feel is a really good progression of events from your "roommate". But i do not know why creators feel the need to insert non family in an incest game, especially if they seem so irellevant to the bigger plot, and they are not optional, it was especially jarring when you entered chapter two and you just get smacked with go to this person now "choice". I want to reitarate that the core of the game with concern for your "roommate" and "landlady" is superb, its just that the other characters seem like such a waste of development time and writing when they are not a focus of the game, but then again the writer might have it in their vision somehow. But i digress apart from before mentioned critique i would say make the endurance mini-game give more xp to cut down on the grind somewhat, really looking forward to the future of the game, just maybe decouple progression in characters quest from other characters

Nice renders, beauty girls, regular story, but there is too much grinding...

(this is just to fill out the request of 200 character for a review, which I consider is crazy as people just want to know if the game is worth of playing or not, they do not want a dictionary)
anyway, thanks for sharing the game, I will buy when it´s completed

Not sure why some people hate it, just because it's AI-generated? Guys, it's 2024. This is far better than 90% of Renpy games out there. Hand-crafting graphics does not mean they are great. This work is an example of how one could put AI to good use.
If you love wincest, if you love sister, and you don't mind a VN with AI vids/images, then you should definitely try this.

The game is potentially good. The story isn’t particularly interesting. It follows the typical “you are now man of the house” trope, where the main character suddenly has to take on responsibilities and pay the bills. It is very generic in that matter and while easy to follow, it's boring.

On the plus side, the scenes are well done and varied, though I wish there were more interactions with the landlady. The focus is clearly on the female main character, with plenty of scenes dedicated to her and her relationship development. The female characters are definitely attractive.

The frustrating part is the suspicion feature. While the game warns you about it, I find it unnecessary, especially the GAME OVER mechanic. You can’t return from that, which is especially irritating since it’s an HTML game, the developer has disabled return only when its a suspicion GAME OVER. It means you have to revert to an earlier save—assuming you’ve made one—since there are no autosaves. So, while trying to enjoy the game, you have to constantly monitor the suspicion meter, which barely decreases after sleeping.

+ AI usage. One of the few games where the AI which is mainly faceswapping here isn't an immediate turn off, it was done well and fits well.
+ Characters + scenes. The reason why I put these together is there's no "models" really, just the faces that are slapped onto videos via AI. It is still done well, the scenes are pretty hot.
- Boring Story
- Too much focus on one character. You live with 2 women, but 96% of the content is directed towards 1.
- Irritating GAME OVER feature that admittedly caused me to restart the game a few times. While it is my fault that I fall for it, there should be workarounds like autosaves or simply allowing "return" for that moment.

enjoyable game mixing deep fake and real porn . I'm a bit peeved by the video sound being patreon only, exepted for one or two scenes that surprise you out of nowhere ( depravity training. you are now warned: those have sound)
it did feel grindy at times but nothing owerwhelming.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from this game initially, given that it is heavily AI-based, and I had some preconceived notions about it. That being said, after finishing the current version of the game, I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by several aspects. The game is well-constructed in terms of narrative, the visuals are absolutely impressive for the most part, and there is real character progression. I highly recommend it to other players, and I’m eagerly awaiting the next update!

PS : I'm not gonna be as much anti-AI generated games now, I believe, this is a very good use of it.

Very bad writing. Should be deleted and started over from scratch.
Things like .... Her voluminously not brown hair .....
and others..... along with needing to be spell checked...

Somewhat like a young child trying to use bigger words than they can handle.

The videos weren't too great, one for sure was pretty blurry in parts.

Sould def skip until it for now.

So I want to say first off that I am not a fan of AI and the flood of cheap games that are being made. That said, I find that this game is the opposite of those other games. While it uses AI for basically everything, its well done and you can tell the Dev is putting a lot of effort into the art. To anyone on the fence about this game, give it a shot. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

As for the game play itself I have a few issues. First it seems just a little to grindy, maybe change the gains so it doesn't take as long. I am not a game Dev so I am not really sure how you could tune it to be better.

Second, the English is a little funky sometimes. Maybe it's not the Dev's first language or they just need a good writer. I only found spots a few times where i saw little issues, but the issues stood out to me. Then again I did skip parts so there might be more I just skimmed over.

Overall its a pretty well made game and I look forward to more content from this Dev in the future.

Lazy game but has a charm to it, yes it uses AI for the images but i like Hermione bitch from HP so i don't mind. To utilize AI in a game like this i feel like a recognizable character is important. Game-play is cool and not too repetitive. I cant afford to support so i will leave this review instead.

Seeing the unjustified low star rating prompted me out of my cave to write my first review.

Really enjoyed this one. The pacing is great and the AI implementation is the best I've seen yet.

The game moves in to a sandbox mode after the introduction which includes a well implemented level up system for broadcasting your sinful deeds with your family. This is also how you make money in the game and as such there is a minimal amount of grind. Relative to many other games of this type.

The story and lewd scenes are very well written. This game has a great build up when corrupting the ladies.

Models with the use of AI provide a consistency between scenes that is rarely seen in 'real porn' HTML games.

Really well done to the dev. I hope he continues this great work and completes what would be a masterpiece for the genre.

Good game !
I like the idea of using actresses - models for characters, the design is beautiful and the story is nice. We're a little limited at the moment but that's normal for a game in development. I think it has a very good future and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Its more of a clicking game where you scroll down to bottom of page click next and thats about it.

Then there is a sandbox which is pretty boring, level up a girl in diffrent things like bdsm or handjobs it takes a bit of time and its boring.

When it comes to the girls, its not really well made since it just uses random real porn videos, so your girl changes hair colors/style, even faces so theres no real point in it.
I hoped they would have made some nice animations instend since it does have the animated tag, but i think they shhould remove that and add real porn instend so game dosent waste peoples time.

And for content there arent really much to come for either, no fucking or anyting so as it is now its not really worth wasting any time on.

This is not a game, it is a visual novel.... at best! Simply scroll to the bottom and click; no choices, nothing of real interest, and no real potential to be anything more than that. For such a massive download you'd think there woudl be more content, but its just dull, the little writing I read was dull and unimaginative, and whilst the images are a bit ofa refreshing change to the use of random real porn, there is just nothing really salvagable about this title. Shame really.

As it stands right now, there is no game here. No nut, not for this version at least... game time: 10-60 minutes depending of literacy.

Gameplay 1/5
step 1: scroll to bottom.
step 2: read if you want, but it's unimportant 95% of the time.
step 3: look at the moving picture. You know what to do.
step 4: click the button at the bottom of the page.
It's all the things I dislike about visual novel games and none of the things I like about them. If you can call it a game in the first place.

Concept 3/5
Bone the various members of your (insert name of the group of people you live with here) for profit. Interesting concept. There might be some potential here after all with all the writing of a bad porno, which could be good if you're a fan of lifeguards that guard beaches that are not beaches, but bathtubs. It got me to try the game after all.

Porno 1/5
you get about a dozen scenes which is to be expected of an early work. It's mostly just kissing, spanking, or otherwise touching your (not) sister with the occasional scene involving someone else. You know, normal Alabama activities. I imagine that number will increase, but as it stands, it's not worth all the non-existent gameplay in terms of quality and quantity.

Maybe this will get better over time. I would say it's worth paying attention to. I would easily rate higher if this porn game had more porn and was an actual game.

Surprsingly good. A very trainer-like approach to taking things slowly without stuffing an erotic game with too much plot executed, and chosen well.

Downsides are the dream sequences which mostly interrupt with the flow and jump the gun, and the short sandbox section feels empty, with pratically all quests triggering in the morning and having to pointlessly nap in between.

Short game with terrible graphics and even worse writing that gets you rather quick (depending on how fast you can read) to some sexy scenes.

You really have to have the hots for Emma Watson to maybe find something to like in this... game? Can I call it a game? It's not even an interactive book. I mean yes, you have the ability to make a choice twice and there is that completely pointless test. Get all questions right and you're a pervert, get one wrong and you're an angel which kills one of your choices after the test.

The artwork stinks of AI, faceswap, and other similar techniques. It's not that good, seen far better on a certain site dedicated to stable diffusion models, lora, lyroris, the works. I have no idea why this is 1.4 gigs because there is barely any content.

The writing I scanned through it after reading the 1st 2 pages. Very much tired topic, overused, nothing new. In less than 10 days you go from a normal family to a very much "curious" family. Less than 10 days!! I mean, I know hardship myself, and I heard or read stories but this family is like "what reason can we use as an excuse to go do like bunnies on too much coffee? Ohh, Dad has a $500 debt and I need a new telescope so let's do smecsy stuffs with each other cuz it brings the $$" I do not think this is AI written as I refuse to think AI can spew out such crap. Not after seeing what AI can do when used seriously.

About the "game" bit... yeah right! Having a button at the bottom of a webpage that says different things (continue, kiss, don't kiss, sleep) that can all be replaced by "NEXT" does not qualify for a game. There is a bit of choice but one lets you continue or game over so does not branch in future gameplay and the other one is locked behind the stupidest test in tests history and it's not worth it anyway. I doubt it does more than unlocking one option to see a few extra clips.

Seriously, if you downloaded it, just go look at the assets and don't bother with the rest. They are neatly ordered in folders so you can watch everything in the order meant to be played.

Did not finish the game. Slow disjointed story - judging by the images I wouldn't be surprised if an AI wrote the content. No actual choices that I saw - just a Visual Novel stuffed with uncanny valley content.
Weird AI images, shape shifting features in gifs and videos. Ruined decent content by having an AI redraw it.

A game about corrupting and selling out your "stepsis" and "stepmom". The artwork is "artifialized" real porn and pictures of celebrities.

Good: Well-written characters, nice UI, as far as I can see no micromanaging
Bad: "Erotic Dreams" as a means to keep the player at bay in the early game. That destroys every sense of progress.
Not a real game atm - more a visual novel.

Great first release, this game has already shown immense promise. The storyline quite solide, but promising, foreshadowing a future brimming with potential. Visually it is really nice and I'm quite impressed whats possible with AI. The developer's dedication shines through, thanks very much. Keep up the good work. Eagerly awaiting more!

PS.: Bring more interactivity, its to straight forward.
