Ren'Py - Completed - Foot of the Mountains 2 [v5.0 Finale] [SerialNumberComics]

Yet another awful, terribad grind fest. I cheated and still didn't actually get anywhere. Ridiculous.

I understand devs are hesitant to make it too easy. Getting right to the action often means LESS support, so things have to doled out very carefully. You know what some of the most popular and successful games I've seen have done? They THREW YOU A BONE.

Maybe you get one easily obtainable partner or one shot character and have to work for the rest. Maybe you start in a relationship and are playing through that story while seeking to cheat or add to a "harem." Give the punters something!

It's made worse by having to repeat the same crap in the same handful of rooms over and over. And when you get to a payoff and something new happens: it's lame. Sometimes not even a kiss, just new dialogue. Screw that.

And what is my money for? I can't escape the stupid fucking house, so I don't when I'm supposed to buy something. I guess you have to grind for access to shop as well. JFC, so frustratingly stupid and boring!

My one compliment is a single piece of art. And I'm not talking about the carbon copy men. The design choice for Rhonda is pretty bold in a community that is most often looking for bimbos or waifs. So there's that.

One star, and that's damned generous.

this game has quickly become my MOST favorite one..each and every aspects of this game including the sandbox style, the repetitive scenes and level of grind suit my taste.and also the models are mind blowing..the milf is someone i've fallen in love with..she's not like those cougars who drops their panties after 10 to 20 mnts of gameplay..really loving those moments where i have to slowly build up my relation with her(them) and corrupt her(them)...so i'm giving it solid 5 stars...

Great design in Melinda and had a good premise.... the grinding and the mess of a story line.... stopped playing. Melinda is best design but just cannot repeat and repeat aimlessly.

He should scrap this mad grind and stream line the game where choices take you in different directions. was enjoyable at first but then after dozens of updates was buggy too, scenes playing when I did not play the scene for it to make sense.

Super hot milf! Love the wa you made her. She is hot and strick! The plot itself is interesting part of the game. as I guess all of us waiting to know what is going on in that criminal business and when the hot actions will actually start with his aunt.

Good images, awful game.

This game requires an insane amount of luck or trial and error. Progressing requires you to choose specific options during dialogues at certain times of the day in a distinct order. There is very little in the game telling you what you have to do next, so I gave up after getting almost nowhere in an hour and a half. There is a fan made walkthrough to get you through the game, but the game has some clear issues when it requires a walkthrough at every step..

v9.9
Wow! This took longer than my first Darksouls 1 playthrough. My previous rating for this was 3/5 because at v0.5 there was almost 2 days worth of grinding, and after all that, there were no actual H-scenes with Melinda. It was the worst blue balling in my history on this site.
So after ignoring one and half year's worth of updates, I wanted to give this game a chance again because I loved the Melindas model. I am here after almost 4 days of continuous playing and although it was not easy, in the end, I am satisfied.
Story:
The story is alright. English is good. Until v7, the story is pretty simple. MC's parents died recently and you've come to live with your uncle. MC tries to fuck everything he sees. After v7 there is some suspense introduced, and it is implied that Melinda might be manipulating MC and there was some foul play involved in the death of MC's parents. This twist goes nowhere as of now. Since there was no further development except random accusations and implications without any concrete evidence. In the end, MC finally gets to fuck his aunt in all of her holes. And we are happy. Also, MC's sister Cynthia comes to visit him, but in v9 MC thinks "at least we are not related" while masturbating her with his hand. I don't know what that was about. In the final scene of v9.9 MC also has intercourse with Cynthia. This scene completes the game in my opinion because we have seen all possible H-scenes of all the girls available. The next versions will most likely contain pregnancy development since Melinda wants a boy and her husband won't get her pregnant. I hope there are some good breastfeeding scenes since Melinda alludes to it when MC tries breastfeeding by saying "There is no milk here yet". Also, Melinda's urination scene went nowhere, hopefully, there is more of that. Public sex with Melinda is also mentioned in the writing.
Models:
This game has top quality models as most players would agree. Melinda is an absolute bombshell. The rest of the models are also outstanding. I would say that in the case of models, this game has to be in the top 5% on this site. I have seen games with better models but there are not a lot of them.
Gameplay:
As everybody knows, this game is a grinding hell. But I say this to the new players, the toughest grind is in during weeks 1-7. After week 7 grind slightly decreases up till week 13. If you can go through the toughest 13 weeks in-game time, then the grind almost halves or even less. By that, I mean that if there is new content when you are replaying a scene then it's not considered grind. Trust me this game will last you multiple days and has a humongous amount of content. There is a lot of replayability in scenes even when grinding for points because there are slight changes in dialogue and scenes every time, which brings in an aura of slow seduction.
If you love slow seduction games, then trust me you have to brave through those first 13 weeks. This game is gold in that matter. It builds up the situation slowly and then rewards accordingly.

Conclusion:
If you got 3-4 days free, then give this game a go. But if you want a quick fap then this is definitely not for you. I am happy that I played this and it was actually fun.

Peace!

I love the images and the characters in this game.
They are characters, not just models. I love the variety of young and old, fat and voluptuous (lacking a thin one?). And somehow all of them kind of turn me on.. and that is probably why I rate this game good instead of average.
The grind is... keeping me up way to late at night.

2020 Edit:

Review after V. 11

After defending this game as well as his previous games that he botched like Tangled up, I'm done. No Mas. Version 11 of Foot of the mountain shows me the Devs lack of writing ability. For starters their isn't much of a story to begin with at all it is just a horny MC trying to sleep with members of his household, all while trying to find out the truth about the murder of his parents.... Unfortunately the story or lack thereof gets lost in the repetitive GRIND. And when I say grind I mean, long, tasking, draining, excruciating grind in which you have to go through.

Knowing all of this I STILL gave the Dev high praise and even overrated his game by giving it 4 stars, I'm an idiot I know but the chemistry building Daniel (MC) and Melinda was worth it I thought. But Once again the Dev displayed his lack of writing by striving for shock value. He thought it would be a great idea to dismantle and shatter the character of his top girl by randomly having her raped by a... wait for it.. Black guy. Because the NTR crowds can't be left out right? Gotta rack in the extra cash from the cucks.

Listen I'm not a NTR fan, that's well established. But instead of griping about it I usually avoid all things NTR related. So this pissed me off particularly because it's the second time the Dev did it without warning, and mainly because it Melinda... The "best girl". Her rape/NTR scene was so unnecessary, yet the Dev it anyway. Why? I've already answered that question but I'll do it again to compensate for his shoddy writing.

Now Melinda is a rape victim, which makes no sense considering she's most likely the mastermind behind a lot of murders including MC's parents, now I'm just supposed to believe that this strong, dangerous, manipulative woman is all of a sudden a weak, feeble, VICTIM?

Reviewing V0.4

Story: Big classic like "Tangled UP"(and TangledUP2), "Shaping Her Future" and other games: Weird/Nerdy guy who fall in love with another weird/nerdy girl, but he must deal with some personal problems before the happy ending...(probably dealing also with some evil relatives who want to hide something from him and that something may be important for his full happiness.)

Originality: [Read the games mentioned in Story and Playability]

Renders: Meh, I have seen to many bad games to actually say something bad or good about renders of this game... I don't hate it, but I pretty much dislike it...

Sound: I play with the game muted…so I didn't notice anything.

Playability: GRIND-FESTIVAL!

Performance: Like I usually say: If a game eats less CPU/RAM/GPU than Google Chrome, than it's good...so yeah this is one of the few things good with this game

Bugs: I didn't notice anything, but I'm not a bug-hunter...so I didn't care if there were some bugs

Animations: Didn't arrive to the point to see any animation, probably like in every other game based on a grind-festival, are just slide-shows made with images of MC before and after pushing with his hips inside something...

Voice Acting: [Not Present]

Grammar: Because my bad English, well I didn't notice any problems with grammar, and this game's grammar is understandable so, it's okay.

Amount of content: I didn't notice content....just grind-festival, maybe some risky scenes about some teasing near the lake...but the grind-festival made me quit before discovering something else...

I think I'll never find a game with an art as good as Melinda's, but this amazing ass is huge and well modeled with perfect curves!
I can not wait for the scenes with MC fucking her
But I think it could improve more, but let's see with the passing of the updates.
And I would recommend SerialNumber to create more games, because his art is incredible.

Review based on v5.0 (0.5). This is apparently my subjective opinion, based on my personal preferences (hot milf - the rating Up ).

Characters/women in the game are good looking (my personal favorite - hot milf Melinda), decently rendered, and more important they do look as humans and do not appear as generic as many characters in similar games. The story develops rather slowly, with a fair amount of unnecessary grinding/repeating, but even that i personally find more appealing than some quick fap/sex game-fests and parodies. Although an early build (v0.5) there are some pretty decent animated and hot fuck scenes (with three womens/girls - MF scenes). The MC looks too nerdy/childlish, and for now there are only four women you could actively interact, but certainly a few more could be expected to appear in future builds. One of those expected in future - Gina, nice looking short-haired milf already has been introduced in the current build.

To conclude - this game is not a superb, there certainly are some way better here, but also there are those much, much worse in every department. I would give four stars to this game, but considering some of overly negative and in my opinion arbitrary ratings - it gets five stars from me, at this time.

This game is surprisingly entertaining , honestly this one is a great surprise by far, knowing the developer history of having average games
The positives:
1-great animations, never seen on other games, especially the bouncing tits of the female npc
2 great images quality
3 story is intruiging
4 one of the rare times i see a perfect milf in a game
5 real looking characters
the negatives:
1 a lot of grind, but most of the other games have it, so it's a minor negative
2 tasks are somewhat complicated compared to other games

in general, i gave 5 stars because seeing this developer page and the low patrons count, i feel obliged to be fair to him and give 5 stars, he definitely deserves more than that. Totally recommend it

Review of version 0.5

Another game with nonsense game mechanics, terrible writing, and a tedious, never-ending grind. After about two hours, in which I was endlessly repeating scenes and dialogue, I decided to unren the game and look through the scripts. Looking at the relationship point thresholds, I would have to spend the better part of my weekend to get anywhere.

No, thanks. This game is a grindfest and a waste of time. There are a million porn games available now. There is ZERO chance I'm gonna waste my time on this kind of nonsense.

I'll thrown it a couple of stars for nice renders and animations. The animations are better than most games.

Not recommended

It makes no sense. Why does everything keep repeating? The story is confusing and everything leaves me wondering why I'm doing it in the first place. I like the characters and the general idea of the story but, the execution of it is just terrible.

I have polarized impression on this game and as many reviewers mentioned it already, once you try it, you will hate and love it,. With current amount of content, hate outweighs loved portion of game.

Monstrous grind mechanics, while I am not against complexity in such type of games. But look at this from rational side, all events tied to specific location, hours and even certain day of week plus randomizer controls some chances and textual choices . I am ok with all that as soon as it adds interest and immersion, but what developer gives me to navigate trough all that? Just ability to skip only one day or 1-3 hours, so if you are on Monday 8am and want to appear on Sat 9pm, you have to cycle trough dozen set of screens. Why not at least to let custom set hour and day of week, instead I repeatably keep clicking trough the same set of screens just to skip more than 3 hours or more than 1 day. Dev might persuade so much grind to get attention to content, but that could be done trough much better approach, which used in MILFTOON Drama or RPGMs from NLT (who is very successful and original even with commonly hated RPGM concept in adult games). That grind mechanics could be just wrapped in collecting items, mixing them to achieve various events or situations with basic dashboard that would track % of progress with each character, and remind on objectives left to advance further with each, I am sure there could be many other known ways. Circling back to same scene on very certain day and hour wtih luck controlled by randomizer to go over same texts dozen times, does not really serves that purpose, not to mention disappointingly kills immersion with character. Yes, this game gives you emotions (cursing) when playing the game, but they directed towards developer not a game character
Otherwise art, render quality are just phenomenal and worth 5 stars!
But imposed poorly implemented grind conception which may be adequate years ago just blocks its popularity, nowadays. If author ever reads those reviews I wish sees the point!
Thank you for great work and good luck!

Pretty good very slow moving corruption game at least for the milf.
The other characters corrupts faster if you work them.
it is a grind though and you do have to work hard for it, repeating and alternating choices until you discover a path forward.
to minimized the trial and error grind needles repeats , you do need a walk though and there is one posted in OP for v0.4 which is pretty good
So if that is what you want this game will do it.

Version 4.0b
This is my first review. I felt compelled to come back and rate it due to the low score here. First the bad.

Some of the writing is poorly translated/not written well. Not nearly as bad as some games but it needs work. There Are some inconsistencies with mechanics. For example sometimes an option will turn green indicating you meet requirements for an option. Sometimes it does not but you can still do it. Sometimes when you fail an option it will tell you how many relationship points you need . Sometimes it won't.

It seems there is not enough of the story for me to judge it. I can't say I'm much interested in the story. It's usually vital for me so this speaks to the strength of the rest of it. It is very funny. I laughed out loud a few times. Mainly at the mocking of the fat chick. Or putting worms under a door so you can see chicks naked.

At first glance the gameplay seems boring and too typical. However you start to realize new options are available after repeating a scene a few times. It sounds boring but most games when I have seen a conversation I will just hit skip and keep rushing through to a new option. This game surprised me a few times with how it played.

The graphics are phenomenal and so are the (few) animations. The outfits are varied and it was made with great attention to detail.

Lastly, and the main reason I love this game, is how everyone is unapologetically bullying Rhonda for being a fatass, even the NPC. She just seems thicc and not too heavy but it's nice to see a game be realistic and try to Shame a girl into losing weight. The MC will be like, "I feel like in starting to like her...even though she is so fat...what's wrong with me?" And her sister is constantly calling her a pig.

If you hate fat people this game will bring you great joy.

Edit: This isn't a spoiler. When given choice between red and white dress, do NOT pick the red one. This only removes the ability to progress further in a certain route. The game does not mention this.

I'm Re-Reviewing the finished product. Previously, I gave it 3 stars for an incomplete game with certain coding issues and what not. The review wasn't fair to the project in its current (completed) form.... This game turned out really excellent.... the characters have always been some of my favorites but, as the plot evolved, I just really began to enjoy the GAME play.... it truly kept me interested. I will say I had hoped for a bit of an epilogue, but the creator isn't under such obligation because *I* wanted that. The game.... AS IT EXISTS.... is great! I don't know if it works for re-plays.... I have a question for the game creator. Are there multiple possibilities for endings? like multiple pregnant girls for example? Or others that disappeared from the game coming back in the end? Just wondering. I look forward to further games from the creator.

Immersive, addictive repetitive game play, good graphic especially if you love milf and not to mentioned those who love bad girl next door, cant wait for what it will be in next several updates, totally recommend!

The scenes are excellent. All he right fetishes with the right speed at the minute. good build up without blueballing at only v4. models look really good and not over the top massive everything.

The maker has a history of actually finishing things so this goes a long way to knowing it wont be abandoned, updates are seemingly at this stage every 2 weeks or so so constant updates.

Rendering good, and whhile the grind is there a bit, dev is working on reducing it. Played alot of these games and I guess this just hits a sweet spot for me.
