VN - Ren'Py - Family Matters [Ep. 1-12] [Perv2k16]

Good game overall and would recommend it to any harem lovers. The LIs are very hot and well posed.

The story is fine. It's better than many of the redundant college or office worker stories, but for how long the game has been worked on, it could be much further along. Also, the relationships progress seems pretty slow at this point.

It has interesting characters, but many feel generic baddies and love interests. Julie and Vicky are the most developed and intriguing. Scarlet serves a purpose too. However, the neighbor Nicole serves no purpose and feels more like a distraction to the development of the relationships and story. She's always interrupts scenes with the others, yet nothing really comes out of the interactions with her.

Overall, I like the story and the scenes with LIs are good, but I wish there was more at this point.

Game dissapointing. Story is very badly written and very generic, without even a hint of creativity. Events logic in game sometimes so retarded that I think that dev just wrote first bullshit that his mind generated at the moment. Every characters lewd content portioned with the most braindead dividing into progress stages like handjob-blowgob-someotherjob-sex just to stretch this game further or because of lack of life experience and progress completely the same for your sister or for literal prostitute with whom mc already fucked numeral times before the story.

Dialogs and behavior so cringe and unmature which makes mc and others look like teenagers and pretty dumb at that. Choices doesnt matter, its a kinetic novel with "bad choices" here and there. Oh and on top of that mc loves and simps to a prostitute, its just a joke, every normal man who lived life at least a little knows that only a total loser and imbecile will be gulible enough to be enamoured by prostitute. This move repulsive for anyone with selfrespect and common sense.

For 6 yo+ game, it have very little and very badly made lewd content, with a tiny progress in very badly writen gangster story for teenagers. Horribly wasted time...

Why is this called family matters? Family barely comes into it.

Renders are decent. Here are the problems:
- There is a cringy attempt to look hard to fit awful gangster story
- There's even decisions around fighting
- There is low payoff sex right from scene 1
- It ignores the names you enter
- There is some out of place low-iq IT repair stuff where they try to present it as highly intellectual work
- Models are meh
- Unobvious point and click stuff

Excellent looking women, interesting story. I am sure comparing to other games it deserves more that the current rating (around 3.5) maybe 5 is generous but I wouldn't rate it less than 4 (comparing to other games). I am really looking forward to see what happens with the rest of the story.

Really sexy artwork and situations, and the overall plot manages to keep my interest. The way it ties to one of Perv2K16's earlier games is also really appealing. But oh, good lord, the text is incredibly poorly proofread. The author really, really seriously needs to get an editor who speaks English as a first language to fix the spelling and grammar errors that plague this title, which would otherwise be Good or even Excellent.

Old game, almost forgot about it until I saw it had an updated.

Was one I use to enjoy, seemed pretty interesting at the time, but now that I replayed it with the latest "update" all I can say is, "skip"

1. The game has some nice models, but they nothing new to the current market of models
2. The MC is not bad and could seem even normal and natural in some way, only he loses himself ever so often due to poor writing.
3. The story actually isn't too bad, has/had potential and could still work out nicely
4. The dialogue is often very poor, the structuring and such are bad and clearly the dev is not a native English speaker, which is find but then get some assistance. So far no changes to script have been made since the first version came out, lazy IMO and that's another major red flag to me
5. The story even if the plot is good, is sadly so disjointed and all over the place that I find myself skipping or ignoring much of it as it doesn't flow and is kinda nonsense.
6. The game has taken too long to be where it is, it should have been completed long ago but its still pretty much sitting where it was and doesn't get anywhere. Even this review is too long to do it justice, there simply are many many other and by far better games worthy of the support IMO.

This could have been 4 or 5 star game if something's improved. First of all game got a nice story and renders. Models are your usual models but they are polished well. If you love Playing nice story game you can try this. Now bad things about the game. Some characters writing could have been made better for example scarlet and Julie. I felt scarlet is unnecessary in this game and there is Nicole she just a neighbour MC will have some casual fun with her. Best girl in the game is Vicky she's a prostitute but seems like there is more than that according to the plot. But now we don't know maybe her being a prostitute is a facade don't know. There is no NTR in the game don't worry about it. Most of the time game will present you with only one choice and you have to click through it. It felt annoying there is no need to give a choice if there is only one.

Story was good but we don't know it's conclusion now.

This game is a bit frustrating. On the one hand it has very good graphics and some renders are really nice. The charcters look really attractive. But on the other hand the story is a bit too much complicated and time wasting. Worst thing is that the game jumps between locations right in the middle of the sex scenes.

This review is for the game up to Episode 10. Overall this isn't a bad game. The story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and the models are fantastic.

However, it has, in my opinion, two really big issues and one small one. The small one is that there is really not a lot of sexual content given the length of the game so far. I don't mind a good story-driven game, and were this the only issue I'd probably give it 5 stars.

The first big issue is the dialogue has so many typos and poor English that you sometimes have to really think about what the character means. I would guess the dev isn't a native English speaker, and that's fine, but having a native (or fluent) English speaker just go through and edit the dialogue would make it 100x better.

The second big issue is, as a few other reviewers have noted, this is much closer to a KN than a VN. There are some choices, especially early on, but more often than not there is only one choice you have to click to continue, and there's literally no point in forcing the viewer/player to do that.

Despite my complaints, I enjoyed the game, and if the dev ever releases more updates for it, I will certainly come back and play it again.

I enjoyed the game so far but I do have one point of constructive criticism. Throughout the game you are forced to click on an option to continue the game but there is only a single option so it serves no purpose other than to interrupt the gameplay. If it were a choice then it would make sense. Other than that the game was very good. The renders are fantastic and every girl is sexy! The game moves at a brisk pace and I look forward to more of the game.

I had put this game aside, telling myself that I would do it later, after 30 minutes I stopped.

The choices are useless, if there are events or characters that you want to avoid, well it's useless, it will happen anyway. It was also said that the characters progression is really, really slow. Usually doesn't bother me, but here the characters are completely open to you, seduce you... well actually no, that doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Positive points.
Well done characters models.

Negative points.
Everything else. Really, I would like to tell you about the story, but it's quickly bored me, when I went there with full hope.

Family Matter could have been much better. Shame. 2/5

pity, the game just has a style of being long-term construction,
it seems that one cannot be executed for this, but two and a half hard scenes for ten updates are for chickens to laugh at. especially when it turns out the scenes didn't actually happen at all - just blowjobs so far with a bit of dirty talk.
the graphics is very great and I love incest games. I'd place it in my top-7 or top-8, but too long to get to the scenes.. currently.

Gameplay: Point and click, however the hitboxes are ridiculously small and hard to find.

Writing: Honestly I was bored very quickly, the crime based part was really the only reason I stuck with it. The dialogue was stale, and typos were frequent. The protagonist has no trouble having sex with the girls, after one interaction they start going at it. I didn’t really feel any sense of progression, because you had the end goal after one conversation. If you play this, I would recommend you save some time, turn on skip all, and just skip until you get to the sex.

Art: The only thing this game has going for it. The models are good, while a little unrealistic. Personally I like that though.

Audio: Mostly royalty free stuff, with some cheesy sound effects.

If you want choice in a game; if you want to guide your MC based on your preferences; if you want to play multiple routes in a game--look elsewhere.

If you want a KN experience; want to just hit the auto advance and watch the story unfold (first, you'd have to enable the quick menu as the dev has disabled it by default); want forced sex with girls no matter how you feel about them or their relationship--give this one a try.

Much of what I'd say has already been stated in these reviews.
- Tons of single line choices which do nothing but slow the pace. (Choice box pops up, but with only once option in the box. One nevertheless has to click on the 'not' choice to advance the game.)
- Many faux choices. For example, open the door yes or no. Choose no and you're still opening the door a couple of lines later.
- Forced sex. Doesn't matter, you're going to bang everyone.
- Several "Game Over" options which are poorly implemented.
- Mediocre translation with poor word choices.

The only positive is the decent rendering of females.

I wouldn't bother.

This is one of those games that holds vaginal sex hostage until you level up your sex level with every girl. I don't mean some visible level stats, but rather the thought that every sexual relationship starts with a handjob, levels up to a blowjob and maybe one day after enough level-ups the people can have penetrative sex. As of episode 10, we're at the blowjob level. It doesn't matter if the girl is blood-related virgin or a professional call girl, this game makes you go through the bases like it was an RPG with level requirements. Even despite implying that the MC and the escort just had sex before the game starts. Doesn't matter, game starts and back to level 0 we go! There are some hints that anal sex is the ultimate form of sex in the dialogue, the final level, as if everyone liked the smell and taste of shit. But at this rate the final level is out somewhere mid-2030s, so no worries about that just yet.

The sex scenes have some decent themes and at times even pretty hot dialogue and setting, public play, light verbal S&M and taboo if enabled. Combined with the great visuals they would be extremely hot if they ever felt complete. The only sex scene that ends up with all participants getting an orgasm is one where the MC is not in. Every other scene in the game is one-sided foreplay that gets interrupted by doorbell, cellphone, doubts or whatever.

It seems like the creator is one of those people that cannot even comprehend a relationship that would continue after sex and is delaying that moment forever so that the show can go on. I mean, even in his dreams the MC only manages to get a handy so you can't even justify it as story progression even if you believed in the sexual level up trope.

On the more technical side the game has its ups and downs. The visuals are especially nice, easily above average. The story is decent; although there are some inconsistencies; like how supposedly experienced criminal sends a text implicating himself right after getting out of jail for lack of evidence. There are a ton of grammar errors, not to a point where the meaning would get lost but something the developer definitely should look through before the final version. Early on there are a few completely pointless mini-games, which luckily can be skipped, so not deal breakers, more like wasted development effort. On progression side I had several 1-option "choices", I'm unsure what those are about. Perhaps I just missed some pre-requisites for options to show up. But if so, perhaps it would be better to show the locked option to tell the player about it?

The final issue on technical side I had was with auto-paced text that sometimes skipped ahead automatically. It's a very bad practice when you can't be sure how fast the player is reading and if you are like me and play on instant text the screen just flashes past it when auto-advance happens at end of text that appears instantly.

Overall this one is still clearly very much in progress and might one day be a good game. If that happens I'll have to update this review... But I'm getting way too cynical and have seen enough of these sex level games that it would be naïve of me to expect it to change. If the pattern holds the next 5 episodes will be the new girl starting from handjobs to blowjob and then in episodes 15-20 we'll see boobjob with each girl.

The only good thing about this Game are the Girls. The Textbox is annoying, there are zero Animations and you get so many fake choices they doesnt even matter or you are just forced to pick something ( specially thoose 1 option "choice" picks ) The 2 Stars are only for the Girls and the potential this game has.

Ok lets just get the bad outta the way 1st.. the dialogue needs some IMMEDIATE work done to it.. I can gladly appreciate that the creator might not use english as his/her 1st language and thats fine and acceptable but PLEASE for the sake of what could be an amazing piece of AVN work.. Get a proofreader and or someone with a proper understanding of the english language to go over the script either before or immediately after publication and make those much needed changes.. its often quite painful to read which is a massive shame given the quality of the renders, the storyline and he structure of the scenes which are all very high quality and the making of a great visual novel despite the equally crippling script dialogues..
The characters are some of the best designed and rendered i've come across in VNs and the storyline that they all find themselves in is a dark tale crime drama that has my interest to see what direction they go next... that is when i can understand what should have been said in any given scene.. Please take the chance to improve the dialogue as i HONESTLY think this is a VN worth peoples time and support if that one major flaw can be addressed..

Let's start with general overview
Renders and models: 2/5
Animation :0/5
Story: 2/5
Dialogues: 1/5
Most reviews here mentioned about game mechanics and pseudo choices but since this one's adult game I'll talk about that.
Vaginal sex is the biggest scam here. Literally made me frustrated but japanese uncensored came at my rescue in the end lol..
Characters, omfg they'll give you seizure as you progress through the game.
There's a prostitute (escort to be honest) who likes to invite her client at her apartment, initially she seemed likable person irrespective of her profession but she'll be the least of your problems. Most excruciating thing in this game is Scarlet, whenever she opens her mouth sewer starts flowing outa it i don't know if developer wanted her to be like that or the writing is at guilt here. You can't say no to her by the way. A lesbian roommate who is okay for the most part and your neighbor who happens to be a stress reliever (handjob/blowjob at most).
Focused adult element in here until now is lesbianism/bisexuality. EVERY female characters in the game has indicated that. And i don't think it's going to be any different in near future, hell i think it will be more prominent than ever.
I don't mind some scissoring but at least give some hole to stick that 20 feet long dick, what was the purpose of that thing? It's episode 10 man.
In the end, I'm sorry to say this but end this pain as quickly as possible. Because 4 years and nothing to show is one waste of space.

Really the only aspect of this VN that is good are the renders. The models are hot and the images are crisp.
The story feels like it could be interesting, but the very poor English translations ruin it.
Also the mini games and making you randomly click on pointless items to advance the story, are very frustrating.
Additionally when you are given choices - many times the choices lead to a random game over, other times the choices are meaningless and don't have any real impact on the VN (so why have them then).
The VN should also have a built in walk-through IMO.

Basically the VN is mostly a mess and, at least for me, isn't very enjoyable.

Very nice "slow(ish) burner" game with nice graphics (hopefully with further improvements in next updates), just enough of lewd content and interesting storyline.

Although missing textbox transparency and text size/colour controls downgraded my rating from 5* to 4* as it affects game experience quiet a bit just like majority of other games with same UI issue
