VN - Ren'Py - Family of Choice [Day1-3 v2] [Nine Rose Rings]

VERSION: Day-1-3 v2
SUMMARY: Average at best due to "primitive" design, renders. Characters and story are superficial and stupid.
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 3
2. Animations: 3
3. General Visuals: 3
4. Characters: 2
5. Story: 3
6. Writing: 3
7. Pacing: 3
8. Content (amount): X
9. UI & Sounds: 0
10. Fetish & kinks: 3

Average: 23 of 50 possible points giving a 46% rating i.e. 2-3 stars.

PROS:

1. Stats are at least available, but what they actually mean, if they have a significant effect on paths available later is anyone's guess.
2. Writing is not too bad, reads fine and is structured well enough.
3. Some choices seem to carry significant weight which can make or break certain paths with LIs.
4. The character models do not look bad really, they have a pretty realistic look about them.
5. Sexual scenes come quickly...pun intended, thats about it.

CONS:

1. Some choices seem to not make much sense, so why have them e.g. get dressed vs packing, doesn't matter which you do first, so why have the choice? Just poor planning in my opinion.
2. Some spelling or typos to be found here and there, so some revision is needed.
3. Some choices lead to game over, I often find having this choice stupid as it requires rollback anyway. Also what you see for taking that route is also often just silly anyway.
4. No sounds or any music even though there are volume options...
5. The MC being a walking tripod is as ridiculous as can be, his cock is as wide as his palm just about, it must be like walking around with small fire-extinguisher, sigh...really dev?
6. Visuals are generally mediocre at best, the renders are grainy and effects like the MC jizzing on a chicks face looks more like a smear on the screen than her face, its just bad in that way
7. Animations are pretty much 4 or 5 frames sped up, nothing special at all.
8. Characters don't seem stupid at least not totally, kinda like hillbillies I guess, but then it gets the moments when IQs drop sharply and dialogue gets fucken retarded like the MC blaming his mother for him having a big dick when she caught him getting a handjob (in the living room like its the most natural thing ever and the moms just around the corner)
9. Per above, dialogue and writing are fine, passable and then all of a sudden, a "doctor" shows up and our hero must provide her a sperm sample (of she strips down naked first as to not make our hero feel awkward and alone in the moment) then requests him to make a sperm deposit inside her, being all professional and what not. So...there is that.

FINAL THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• I find that when VN games like this have too many variables to satisfy before a certain condition is met often only lead to frustration when the player does not meet said condition and needs to redo a lot or all at some point they don't even know, so you constantly need to cross reference to your stats to see if they going up or down etc. This is such a chore and crappy way to play, simplify or better yet, remove it and just give either or choices instead of a grind for a particular stat value...
• As with many of these games, the MC shows up to a family who hardly know him, day 1 and he is already trying to get in their pants, while I appreciate adult theme games and the idea to bang all the chicks, him going point blank at him mom asking if she has feelings for him (implied other than a son and mother) is just too much too soon.
• The MC gets propositioned by a chick he just met with clear intention of basically using the MC to get in with his family...not that it really is motivation because she already is as "in" with the MC family as she can be apart from getting married to the MC ofc, but she just met him ffs! Such writing is just so blatantly desperate and highly annoying due to little to no real thought going into the relationships.
• This game is not funny or lighthearted, even if some of it was suppose to be, not sure about that? Anyway, dont expect anything special, its not, its beat your meat material for the desperate that are a little less lazy to watch mindless porn, here you read mindless and some porn.

Well story is a very standard incest which gets a bit boring, maybe it will get interresting at some point but its to early in development to say.

MC is the typical idiot with a 12 year old mindset that has to peek and think about girls tits or ass and so on, its just way to cringy and not the most fun to play those types, it makes it worse when MC thinks like that with someone the player finds extremly ugly, thats a sure way to break any immersion and not only that it also feels so idiotic when MC lusts hard for someone and you then turn her down 2 seconds later......kinda breaks the story, but atleast you can turn them down.
Oh yeah and ofc he also gets boners constantly from nothing what so ever....not sure if its ment to be fun or something but i always found it totaly idiotic.

Then theres the standard shit where girls trows them selfs onto MC for idiotic or no reasons what so ever, one girl tells ya you can take all 3 of her 3 holes virginity and thats about 2 mins after you met for the very first time... personaly i like a bit more build-up and get to know them a bit first or there wont be any emotions which makes it boring in sex scenes.

And to make it really really fucked up, it forces you to watch huge ass fat womans with huge saggy tits.....not sure what this game is but it sure as fuck is a huge turn-off in every way.....how on earth dev thought it would be a good move to let that doc bitch go nude with 0 player controle is crazy, you can atleast turn her fat ass down but that fucking image of her nude just cant be ignored.....

As for the girls, i cant say im the biggest fan, older sister is ugly as shit and looks like a whore, little sister was a little better but still not hot and that pretty much goes for every girl in the game which is pretty bad for an AVN.

Renders also seem quite low quality for whats possible now a days.

Cant say anything about animations since i dident see any yet.

And for music there are none, total silent games are just more boring, dev does say it will come at some point maybe but we will see.

Choices:
Even though you can turn down girls in this, sometimes that choice is just way to late, like with the doc shit.

Content:
Theres very little content compared to almost being 3 gb big, renders arent that good quality and theres no music and not many if any animations, so makes me wonder why its so big, it feels more like it should be 500mb.

Right now i cant rate this more then 2, but maybe if story gets better and the forced fat and big tit fetishes stops being trown in your face without a choice and it gets some decent music, then maybe it has a chance to become a good game, so i will revisit and edit my review once there is more content to be had.

Promising game, love it so far. The story is good but need more complexity. I love the unique personality of the characters but I don't like how the older sister looks a whole lot older almost like she could be the mom. I'm not a fan of the aunt ether I know that she was made looking like this to hate here even more but I think she should be more attractive but with a really bad personality not a fat ugly old woman. Her daughter is gorgeous so she should be somewhat attractive.

I'll be looking forward for the next update

I love how the story goes, the humor is perfect, the characters and overall quality is amazing, my favorite game on the entire site so far, keep it up, there is quality here and you are good at this!

TL;DR: mediocre quality overall.

Models are mediocre. The cousin is kinda OK, but that's it.

Renders are simple. Not grainy, but they could be from like 5-10 years ago.

Writing is OK, but dialogs are seldom very creative or interesting.

If you'll look into the code, you could see that programming is er... far from being professional.

General experience was not bad, but not really engaging.

[I played v1.0, but didn't finish]

I am really looking forward for the game as it grows and becomes more complex!
To me it seems to be a good project with interesting characters and "features"!
I wish the dev alle the best and good luck!!!

Let me start by saying this is not the most original idea for an AVN. Pros and Cons below.
Pros:
- Story writing is not bad. Some small mistakes here and there but noting bad.
- The caricaturists all have different personalities although the intro is short so not much to go on.

Cons:
- All but 2 of the models are not attractive at all (opinion I know)
- Not original story at all. Seen something very similar in many other stories
- Over all graphics are ok but nothing to get excited about
- Very short intro so if this is the standard for each release it may take a while to get through.

I will come back to this one in a few releases if its still around and give it another try.

Good story premise, it really interested me and I believe it will interest any player.

Renders are good, characters are attractive and consistent with their age and role.

I hope there will be more updates soon!
