[Edited Oct 02, 2020. My old 5-star rating for 0.1.7 quoted at the bottom of this review]
Reviewing version 0.1.8 - Or: How to kill a game in one update
I loved that game. Funny, great lewd animations, mostly light-hearted, one word: Fun.
Unfortunately with the update the post needed a new tag. Rape.
MC gets raped by his sister, who drugs him with a cocktail of paralyzers and viagra, so he's 90% paralyzed, conscious, and has a raging erection. She and a friend of hers then proceeds to rape him, and he even thinks "Rape. This is rape. They're raping me."
But only a few seconds later his thoughts are (literally, these are the words of the game) "They're raping me, but under these circumstances... I should just enjoy it!"
At that point the game died for me.
In my opinion that is a very toxic mentality. Rape victims all over the world have been belittled and dismissed with words like "I'm sure you wanted it" or "I'm sure you enjoyed it". That shit ain't funny!
Some games have rape, that's ok, it's a thing, some people enjoy this genre, I'm not judging that, but this game was so much fun before, no rape tag, just another older sister who was a bit bitchy/dominant, but everything in a playful manner. And now this. MC gets really into it afterwards btw - when he's no longer paralyzed - and the next morning everything is peachy.
I hate giving out 1-star ratings, but I just witnessed the cold-blooded murder of a good game. With an update I was looking forward to, no less.
[Addendum/Update Oct 20]: I am aware that v0.1.8a softened the words so that it isn't rape anymore, and that there is a (partial?) rework of the game in process. I have not played v0.1.8a, and I don't think I will. The dev/author already has shown that they though this kind of rape and especially MCs reaction to it as well as no negative consequences the next morning were somehow a good thing. The fault lies never with the characters, but always with the author. At this point I am not willing to give the author another chance, because - as far as I'm aware of - they never apologized for this toxic mentality or even tried to explain why they were thinking this was a "good" outcome for Quinn and MC.
Sorry, not sorry.

Old review:
Today dropped v0.1.8, which reminds me that I wanted to write a quick review for v0.1.7, so here it is:
The Good:
- A lot of animated lewd scenes. Almost all of them are repeatable.
- KISSING! Too few games include passionate kissing during sex. I love it!
- The graphics and characters. Made with love.
The Confusing:
- The story, at least when you play the incest version - which I usually do. MC returns to living with his mom and sis and seven years later two other older sisters come to live back home, about whom apparently nobody ever spoke before.
9/10 - downloading 0.1.8 now.
