    The game stays true to it's nature of exploring sexuality without limits, for that I can respect it. Unfortunately many other aspects drag it down, such as sub-par writing, charcters aren't very pretty to look at (apart from a few, though this is of course a personal preference.) and of course underwhelming sex scenes. It's not much of an animation going on. Also you'd think a game like this would be more kinky but the kink aspects are rather... Tame.

    You have some agency in controlling what content you'll see but it's a wild ride and it your choices don't always take you where you thought they'd go, but I suppose that's part of the game's charm, you don't always get what you want.

    L0VE this one !

    This is one of those games that is absolutely unique right from the get-go. It goes through all the choices and gives you a wide range of ways you can play the game, which makes you replay it and makes it more engaging and fun.

    I wish there was a prologue to the game also will be awesome. Graphics is good, excellent character building all around. There is so much more this game can become, wish them the best.

    What I liked:
    + The initial premise of the game - a very unconventional family visits a nudist/swinger resort which leads to their relationships being tested and transformed in various ways (also lots of sex happens). The main character, Mac, has an open relationship with his wife Anne, which creates opportunities for the player to pursue all sorts of characters throughout the game, but the casual nature of a lot of the encounters really distinguishes it from what would otherwise be a regular harem game. Some of the main fetishes/kinks are thus related to swinging, sharing and group sex, though that's not all that the game includes, of course.

    + Choices do matter, and there are consequences for some of the decisions that the player makes. For example, as I've mentioned before, Mac and Anne have an open marriage that is based on mutual trust, transparency and communication, so hiding stuff or ignoring her will obviously have an impact on their relationship. I think, for the most part, the game is pretty clear with what the rules are for the character interactions and what the short- and long-term consequences of the choices will be, and so is quite fair to the players in this respect. There's also an option to just have the outcomes and relationship gains be displayed along with the choices to make it almost completely transparent.

    + Related to this, the amount of paths/routes that the game offers. There's a lot of variation in how the story develops based on the player's choices (will Mac and Anne stay together? will Mac and Leni stay together? if not, who will Mac pursue instead? etc.), and there are options to make it as dramatic or vanilla as possible if one wants to do so.

    + The sex scenes. They really work for me in this game, though I think it's because I just really enjoy the set-up for them and a lot of the fetishes that the game focuses on. The writing and the anticipation is there, the poses are good, so in general the scenes are pretty hot. I will say, though, that there are moments that feel a bit... stiff. And it's not due to lack of 3D animation, that doesn't really bother me, but there are some scenes that aren't very dynamic or a bit on the short side. I think how much you value the visual component of games will definitely impact whether you will enjoy the scenes, but at least personally I would say that sex scenes are still overall good.

    + The inclusion of Bi content. This always adds some spice to the game for me, and what is there right now I'd say is pretty good: the secondary main character, Mac's son Philipp, has the option to pursue trans and male characters and eventually can be steered towards a gay/bi route. This is all completely optional and can be avoided if one does not want to see this content, too.

    + One big fetish that is also a huge selling point for a lot of (or most) players, incest. Kiara and Franzi are major love interests and a lot of the game's content revolves around them and their relationship with Mac and how it changes over time. It's something that starts getting built up from the very first scenes, and the game isn't shy about its inclusion, so whether you enjoy this fetish will have a big impact on your experience with the game. Overall, I mostly* don't mind the way it is implemented, and I like (some) of the choices that were made in how these relationships were developed.

    What I'm mixed on:
    ~ Some of the fetishes that I'm less keen on. Of course there's the big elephant in the room that is the Special Edition. I'll just say I'm thankful that this content is not included in the main game, though unfortunately traces of it remain and a lot of the (not subtle) implications are still there in the script. I guess there isn't really a good solution to this, short of completely removing Tyras from the story, but I appreciate that the dev had gone back to edit the scenes to make it less visible.

    *The moments where the Teen Pregnancy kink comes up are also frankly uncomfortable, the writing and the choices around it really take the game in a different direction from the rest of the scenes. To illustrate my point, the usual scenario plays out something like this: Mac and Anne coach Mac's friend Sai and his wife through their first swinging experince, making sure everyone is comfortable and actively consenting the whole time; contrast this with the teen preg stuff: Mac stealthing Franzi, intentionally finishing inside of Lotta even after she explicitly asks him not to, and, looking at the scripts, asking Kiara to stop taking birth control so that he will be able to get her pregnant. Even among the usual jerk/asshole MC choices that the game offers these are a lot more dark and out of place when looking at how respectful and understanding of boundaries the characters are the rest of the time. I can imagine some players being caught off guard by this, so I think it is something worth pointing out.

    ~ The characterisation being a bit on the thin side. While the relations between the characters and how they feel about each other is thoroughly explored in the story, what we actually know about the characters themselves (hobbies, interests, goals, ideals, etc.), outside of who they want to have sex with, doesn't get as much attention. Obviously, in the context of an adult game set at a swinging resort, these kind of details might seem very superfluous, but I do think it helps in distinguishing the characters and getting players invested in them and their stories, which does enhance the impact the game's scenes (both the sex and non-sex ones) could have.

    ~ The presentation choice to have most of the interactions outside of sex scenes happen in first person - most of the time the dialogues have the characters staying in one pose, looking straight at the player, occasionally shifting or slightly changing their expression. I can 100% understand why this decision was made, but I think it does make the game visually pretty bland and some of the moments/conversations are less memorable and impactful because of that. How important this is, of course, varies from player to player, and I can understand some not really noticing or caring about this at all. Personally, though, I do think that presentation and the cinematic/visual component are something that can be improved upon in the game to make it more interesting to look at.

    I am pretty conflicted between giving the game 4 or 5 stars, but, if focusing just on the sexual content and how well the main fetishes are executed, I think rating it a five seems rather fair. While there are elements of the game that I believe could be polished to elevate it further and overall make it even more enjoyable to play (presentation, character writing), these aspects could be improved in future updates and, as it is right now, the game does succeed in executing what it set out to do.

    I just love incest stories where there are a few tats and piercings, so this gives this game a major boost in my opinion.

    There are many different kinds of girls, a lot of choices to be made and a fun story. Also a lot of sex in many different combinations and most importantly a lot of different fetishes. One of the very few VNs set in the "real" world where the sex is not vanilla only.

    The only bigger point of criticism is the grammar which isn't totally worthless, but a few mistakes are quite noticeable.

    This game is ... whelming. The animations? Might as well not exist. Models? Nothing special, but at least not the usual overused slop. Characters? All very samey in the personality dept. Story? Completely average cliche normal stuff for the genre. At least the premise of the story isn't as overused as other cliches that are common in this genre. All in all this is exactly a 2.5/5 for me.

    If the dev comes back and edits in good animations this would be totally deserving of a 3/5 or better (depending on how good the animations). I can't rate it based on potential though. I was torn between giving a 3/5 and a 2/5 but the animations are so bad I'm taking that half star away for them.

    You know what I find is a major loss of points for this one? Who the hell makes a game all about sex in all sorts of flavors and puts in sex scenes that suck balls? Come pn I have seen better sex scenes in a shitty Bobby game.

    The story is neith bad nor good. It is just there.

    Choices? Really what choices. Do they matter if they are there anyway?

    Cum in vagina. Not a choice you get to make. Apparently it gets you a pregnancy or not. But still its a choice you still have no control over. Just like the Dev decidea when you get a pregnancy too. ANNOYING!!!!! People like to FEEL like they are in control as it immerses them into the character. But hey some Dev's actually like people to get into their characters and feel involved in their stories. Those are the ones I gp back to time and time again when they drop an update. But hey guess this Dev is not one of those.

    Bonus point for the selectable full name for the MC. Go Dev. While it is not uncommon to be able to select the first name these days it is not all that common to be able to enter the surname yet. Yet. But it is changing for the better.

    Nice looking women for the most part. There are a few exceptions for me. But I am picky so we won't hold that against the Dev.

    FIX the sex scens and I will chnage my review. Won't be the first time a Dev fixed my complaint and I gave the review an edit. I will gladly do it again.

    Oh and I really should have knocked off all the damn points considering that the game gets stuck in a never ending loop right after sex with Leni while Anne is in Berlin and he wakes up to go get a drink in the middle of the night. FIX THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never get to the vacation that the game is named for that way. Holy shit that gets me my nuts in a bind!

    4.5/5
    Why not 5?
    Some minor bugs here and there, for some branches the game "thinks" you made the choice you actually didnt.
    In the latest chapters a couple of PenPy exceptions.
    Animations are short 2 frames looped, renders are good but not the best.
    What captivates here is a unique atmosphere and good variety of kinks.
    1) Its not yet another 18 y.o. "Alpha" perving on his family and grinding handjob-footjob-BJ. The game has established relations, that can evolve according tou your guidance. Sex is not a final destinatiln, sex is a nice and crucial component to your relations, with whomever they might be.
    2) Might be wrong here, as Im not the biggest fan of swinging/sharing, but it seems to be one of the rare games where swinging sharing is made without cucking or humiliating someone. You can share your LIs if you are ok with that, and they will not think less of you, because they are ok with as well.

    Check the tags and description, if they are to your liking, the game definitely woth checking.

    What an amazing game that scratches an itch that not many games do. By this I mean sharing content without the cheating, stealing and degrading of the mc. I love sharing and swinging content, however, I hate netorare, so trying to find a game that fits into that is more difficult than I thought. However, this game ties a simple but good story into a kinky game that has good progression and amazing LI's.

    Lots of paths and choices for great replay value, and for those who like this sort of content, there is a lot of content to like.

    That is to say, if you like sharing, there are multiple women to share, if you like straight or lesbian incest, there is plenty of that to go around, if you like "stealing" from other relationships, having illicit (or transparent) affairs, or voyeurism, there is a decent amount of those, too. For other fetishes, your mileage may vary, but overall a solid game. Just don't think you'll be able to see every scene in one playthrough. You'll be starting this game from the beginning multiple times to see what you may have missed.

    Well rounded story and great animations. The story progress can seem a bit fast but apart from the pacing this game is very good. Gets all the kinks right and moves viewpoints to keep the player engaged.

    Ok-Dick

    Brah... what a game.
    it's got fucking everything. No kinks were spared, no degeneracy was descanted. It has it all, including my favorite, mom/daughter action.
    The story is good enough, really, what more do you need. Giga Chad Dad fucks everything that moves. Boom. Done. nuf said.
    The renders are also pretty good, hitting that right spot of cartoonish realism. Any higher resolution would drive the dev insane.
    So, inconclusion, 10/10, would fap again (in fact fapping right now), would recommend to family and friends. Show the dev somee love.

    I love it.
    I really enjoyed the story. The characters feel authentic, and their actions are believable, which makes everything even more engaging. What I particularly appreciate is that it doesn’t just stay on the surface but dives into more intense and unfiltered moments. The erotic scenes are well-written—sensual yet direct, striking the perfect balance without being over-the-top. The atmosphere is immersive, the chemistry between the characters is palpable, and there’s enough variety to keep things exciting throughout. I’m already looking forward to the next chapter and can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. Thanks for this thrilling and seductive experience!

    [Chap 11]

    It's not the worst harem game, and there are separate paths.

    Unfortunately, the developer's energy has been mostly spent on plotlines, and certain things (animations in particular) leave a lot to be desired.

    + loads(!) of content
    + decent range of models
    + different kinks, and all avoidable(!) very nice, much thumbs up
    + different paths
    + MC is an actual adult!

    - the visuals, despite there being decent models, are not synced to the background in many places. you can see them pasted on top of it, and it throws away what remains of immersion.
    - very poor and short animations, basically repeating 2 frames for most part;
    - everything is impossibly nice. MC is the hunk everybody wants. Okay, there's a fantasy there, but somehow it feels off.

    In short, it's some solid work, but perhaps due to there being very little tension, or I don't know what else, everything just seems to be floating around.

    There is a plot tension theoretically (rejecting bribe, which might leave you without a contract, etc), but everything is still just hunky dory for the MC, who is finally going on vacation. Probably much too many secondary LIs as well. That's supposedly good, but since the sex in many cases feels just like doing some pushups, it's one more thing to take care of.

    PS. I can't remember anything any of the characters said. Seems that explains everything you might want to know about dialogue.

    My Favorite Game on F95 at the moment. Let's you explore many fantasies and kinks without repetitive grind or overly long paths of conquest.
    I also like the idea of placing the main events in a vacation resort that is accommodating to the lifestyle and allows for fresh match-ups.

    Egregious

    Wholesome family fun in an art style I enjoy. The characters begin pretty corrupted already, nothing happens that is vastly out of character. No "I'm a loving parent that would never think of any sex other than missionary position with the lights off" and 5 minutes later, "I'm a raging slut who seduces my children and screws every guy that walks by."

    Funky_A

    Interesting in the beginning but at some point it becomes a bit boring, sorry dev, since there is no built up towards something and the scenes are quite lengthy without some anticipation or what, at least in my view. The dialogues are so and so and the cg's seems a bit old with all the new games out there

    Family Vacation v.0.10 is a visual novel in Renpy made by MCK, a very german developer that makes sure a lot of germanic elements are inserted in his game. The game consists of a rich patriarch of a family that is very open to exploring their romantic liberties without any form of boundary. There are plenty of choices and paths to follow, locking some content depending on your choices and depending on romance, lust, and obedience points. The game is technically well made and polished, with more options than your average renpy novel ingame and in settings. Story-wise this game is very mediocre to a bad degree. The story is practically nonexistent and is there to justify the many romances the protagonist can have with every single character you encounter. That wouldn’t be a problem for anyone that cares only for the romance scenes, but the models in Family Vacation are all so ugly and weird. A common occurrence that I’ve found with german developed games is the obsession with very mature women and women with exaggerated jawlines, age lines, tattoos, piercings and a lot of bizarre content right out of the bat, with next to no built up. If you research german culture you will understand that when they party they go to the expreme, as if they are releasing all the tension built up during long periods of work. This game expresses this culture perfectly. Not only those strange excesses slap the player’s face every corner, the game is obsessed with cuckoldry, swinging, cheating and all the in between. Every other option faced is about another man getting into with the female characters or some form of exchange. If you are not into this kind of thing, you will miss a significant amount of content. Considering the quality of the scenes, models, story, and the progression, the key elements for a good visual novel, Family Vacation is not worthy of time despite the different options and the level of polishing.

    This game has gotten very repetitive. Very little time is spent on more interesting love interests like that turkish girl. Don't like the fact we are stuck with the wife, who is a very annoying character and looks like a fossil. Last 4 chapters have been very repetitive and one of the girls looks underage. Writing is avg at best, game could be a lot more sand box.

    I would like to rate it a 5/5 as the potential for incest (wife, grandma, daugher(s), son), beastality, swinger, group sex is huge -so I feel-, ... but not well executed at this point (Ch10].
    The english is very simple and minimalistic, even for me as a non native english.
    Beastality (can be avoided) is teased good but so many opportunitys to finaly explore and show are missed up to chapter 9!? Why not spy more with the CC?!
    There is no descriptive writing for the lewd scenes and so the lewd scenes suffer a lot, as the potential of CGI is not used to benefit at least the visuals*!
    The graphics are OK but there is no art style value added*.
    The models are realistic without the tucked helium BOOBs that defy gravity and have no weight to it. Thats a positive here!
    It has anoying generic music, so I turned it off as it also does not match the scenes.
    No animations just some flipbook.

    Hell I would like to see this piece get polished with a lewd visual art style (AI CG?), ramped up descriptive writing and writing in general.
    The plot is realistic, nothing to mention but it is not in the way, so I bring it up. This VN your in for the kinks anyway.

    I'll stick around a little longer to see where this is going as my kinky delights are so tickled.

    Kinks: 5/5
    Plot: 4/5
    Graphics: 3/5
    Writing: 2/5
    Lewd: 2/5 (no descriptive writing)

    The dev did many things right.
    Story simple and to the point not some weird space, demon, save earth oddesy so convoluted its hard to keep up.
    Few greats in the world of IC this one is up there. So for me Dating my daughter, timestamps, sisterly lust, desert stalker are all up there on the list.
    One midlife crisis I am not a big milf fan and only warmed to the wife after the scene with the sister, and sisterly lust was not too in to the mother, and it stopped right as the girls were starting to include eachother.
    Smart of the dev to introduce the wifes mom early and younger.
    Not a big harem guy but the side conquests are decent for the family. Hoping that does not go to far afield. I am the dog stays behind closed doors. Really hots scenes in family. Not a big fan of calling family members sluts that just my small annoyance but when he has his daughter in the dungeon WOW I liked that one the most, though more mom & daughter please!
    GREAT JOB!
