Review for v0.9.2
I mean this game is pretty much exactly as advertised. It's a sort of fever dream fuckfest that objectively doesn't do much of anything that well. What it does have though is some personality, and because of that makes this game kinda fall into that "enjoyably bad" category for me. It's a game where I could see why someone would give it five stars just as much as someone giving it one star. For me it falls in the middle.
What's probably the most unique thing about Family Trouble is that it's using Second Life as the base for all the renders/characters/animations. This is actually a pretty huge positive. For someone who's played hundreds of AVNs, a switch up from the usual Daz/HS/Koikatsu is pretty refreshing. It all has a sort of new feel to it simply because it's not being used in a hundred other visual novels.
The overview is pretty accurate in that it really is just a lot of random events. There's some semblance of a timeline but I couldn't tell you much about the story because A) It's all over the place and B) I just didn't play that long. The MC is essentially gigachad guy which I just find funny more than anything I think. I'm not a fan of a lot of the cruder dialogue and jokes, but there's some surprisingly decent banter in moments. Characters don't really feel lifeless either which is nice.
The game also uses a Karma/Perversion system that I'm not a huge fan of. It seems like a lot of shit is locked behind having high enough perversion and very few moments have used karma to sort of take the nice guy approach. Sure it's easy to get perv points, but I didn't like a lot of the choices that gave you them. I had to restart once since I basically fucked myself over not choosing those options. There was also a lot of situations that made you choose to go do something with one girl while missing out on something from others. With a game that's already a fuckfest, I found it more annoying than anything. Just let me see it all man.
I didn't play super deep, but it's really not the best fit for me. If you're into lewd games with a huge focus on sex this is likely more your style. It's filled with different girls and fetishes, and is pretty direct and to the point with all of it. I do think the dev is taking the fun approach with how wacky it is, and that's something I can respect regardless of how I feel about the game.
