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

I can't believe that I never reviewed this. Where to start:

The game is a dumpster fire! DO NOT PLAY IT!

The characters itself are good (until they added NTR/Sharing, more on that later) and the graphics are fine. However, if I gave a +1 for every good point of this game and a -1 for every bad thing, the GRIND would put this at a negative 9999999999999999 our 5 stars.

The game loop isn't bad at first. You go around the house for activities in the sandbox. It isn't bad. You talk to cousin to try to crack her shell, you talk to aunt trying to get her to acknowledge you as anything more than her nephew. You try to do things that amuse your older cousin so she could also get interested in you.

None of this is bad so far. For 2 or hours, you'll be telling yourself that the game is fun. You make progress pretty consistently... until... you hit a wall. The wall is, you have to get more and MORE affection points in different ways to progress events. Cool, so you do different things to earn more. Then you'll unlock a scene, but the scene is in a different chain of options. Then you use that to unlock something in another option. HOWEVER, you then need to repeat the action 2-5 times to get a new event... and this repeats for a few hours until you hit what I call "THE VOID"

The VOID is what happens when you get to the end of the original version of the game. Your sister joins you for a bit and now your screwed. Why are you screwed? well, basically, you have to repeat scenes dozens to almost hundreds of times. Let me give you an example of the time table for a weak:

Monday:
7am SKIP
8am SKIP
9am TALK TO AUNT
10am SKIP
11am GO TO GARDEN PICK UP WORMS
12PM SKIP
1PM GO WITH AUNT AND PLANT WORMS/MOVE EGG
2PM SKIP
3PM TALK TO HER AT KITCHEN
4PM SKIP
5PM SKIP
6PM TALK TO HER IN BEDROOM
7PM SKIP
8PM SKIP
9PM SKIP

So as you can see... that's not too bad... except... you have to do that for WEEKS! This is ONE DAY! You repeat the same thing 2 days later, while doing something SLIGHTLY different the next. Then on the weekend, if you've already done the event, you just gotta skip every event manually...

Then, after all that work. You still get CUCKED. If you don't know what to do, you get a guy raping your aunt... the DEV even went back to change the scene a bit because people were upset... The game was NOT about other dudes, it was about you and the DEV decides that "NTR" sells, well, he lost hundreds and hundreds of Patrons because of stupid shit like this.

If his game was at least good he could excuse it, but it's THEE WORST grind in ANY GAME, I have EVER played. Just to clarify, the example I gave was only to get to part 2 of the game... It isn't even over after it. You have to repeat god knows what other bullshit just to get to the end.

I quit before the 2 half because of how BAD this game was. I can't fathom why ANYONE would rate this higher than a 1 star. NOT because of fetishes, but because past a certain point, the game is UNPLAYABLE!

Anyway, if you like NTR, you're out of luck, cause it's a VERY small amount. BUT, just enough to piss off all the regular fans... really. From what I hear, when you finally do get together with the AUNT (the main goal of the ENTIRE VN) it's really shitty. To tie this up in a neat little bow (unlike this travesty of a game) the ending is also rushed because of massive drop of support and the DEV moved onto a new title just to try to recapture the love this game received at the beginning.

Melinda's back? But as a PIMP at a house full of prostitutes and you have to manage them? Sign me up after I dig a whole and bury myself inside.\

1 STAR and it will NEVER change.

Oh my god... This is the best game what i play... Beautiful milf with nice tits and ass, nice sisters. I want a part 3 this game... Good sandbox what i love, male protagonist, interesting story... Awesome.

So my review is based on playing the game with scripts open, and skipping anything that repeats. If you know what you're doing, you can open all the hundreds of scripts and play the game with minimal repetition and find optimal paths for all the scenes in combination with the walkthrough.

That doesn't mean I think the grind is good game design; it's not. I like the MC personally. I know most people want the same meathead Chad Thundercock or magic dick Marty Stu MC, but Daniel is a nice change of pace, just a snotty teenager making his way through each day trying to get in where he fits in.

I like the group sex and the jealousy and suspicion dynamics with Melinda are fun. If you're familiar with the mechanics of Ren'Py scripts and don't get triggered by group sex/a tiny bit of voyeurism, this game is a blast. But yea it could do with just a normal build that makes it easy to see all the scenes without repeating or missing anything. I believe the mod helps with that for part 1 but I haven't tried it myself.

when i start to play this game v2.0 great game and from v6.0 where they start a lot new scenes and never finish them game become boring shit !!! we have unfinished scenes and buy things what we see only once ! hope that new game will be better !!!

Actually I love grinding. Easy sex is boring for me. But this game is beyond the limit. I am ready to grind but man we need some objectives or atleast a readable walkthrough. You have really dissapointed us dev.

PS- Melinda is perfect.

The game is very, very grindy with the most cliche and predictable sort of incest-themed story. Certain mini-games are absolutely horrid and some story paths absolutely require a walkthrough.
With the exception of the main character and the thicker sister, you've already seen these models before in other games. The renders are grainy and the environments are lackluster.

In short, don't give this game a shot. Even the renders aren't worth it.

Really good render, I love the charaters. Unfortunally the gameplay is too much booring. The plot is not bad but because of the slow dynamics of the game the player can't fully embrace it. The Sex scenes are top.

End of an era but good riddance because I played this Dev entire first project over a month ago and now literally just finished with this project and in both cases I feel cheated. Both games were rushed and lackluster and feels like I wasted my time.

Pros:
Melinda
Okay renders

Cons:

Story
Grainy renders
Too many character flaws
Too many character inconsistencies
Horrible grinding
Far too little content compared to the grinding
Beta male MC


I wouldn't recommend this game, you grind like crazy to get in between Melinda's legs and others... nevermind. I've said all I can regarding this farce of a game.

Now that the game has ended,

Positives -
1) Renders are alright
2) There is an interesting story somewhere in the game

Negatives -
Everything else.

Seriously, if you have never played this game, dont play it. Game has 100 hours of grind with 5 hours of content. And the content is not that great either.

As others have noted before me, there is a stupendous amount of grind for little to no payoff.

That's really the heart of the matter. No story. Zero fun gameplay. S'pose I'll give it an extra star for nice graphics.

Avoid. Don't waste your time.

Despite all of the controversy throughout this game, it still had the potential to be a great game, unfortunately the Dev can’t stay out of his own way. He’s not capable of putting together a solid story and ending. Melinda was a great and desirable character, but she couldn’t carry this game on her juicy ass and save it. While we’re on the subject of Melinda that choices made for her character was horrible and just simply bush league. Even doing the little holiday update when she breaks character, just bad decisions after another. The grind of this game was pointless, if you look at the gameplay towards the end content all the did was skip weeks basically. When the Dev started a new chapter or whatever he should’ve changed the game to a VN to make it more enjoyable and to avoid all the unnecessary skipping. I truly wish them luck on their future endeavors but I will not be replaying FOTM anytime soon.

Graphic
5/5 -> Basically perfect

Story
3/5 ->Story gets secondary pretty quickly

Gameplay
2/5 -> grinding grinding grinding

Girls
4.5/5 -> hot as fuck, they're just not a few tho

Total
14.5/20 -> Not bad, sex scenes are really good, but too much grinding

Way too much grind , each update is minimal update , story line mediocre at best same text time after time even with updates very little new content.
its now what 3 years it feels like dev just dragging it out way to much like a cash cow being milked that has gone dry, i feel like i would have to grind 2 more years to make any progress
decent renders although a little over done on boob ass and hip size. but store line and writing could changed a bit so a little more depth to story, plus link some stuff in better , even when some new stuff pops up its way off in left field

so sorry dev minus stars for the lack of real text and story content and the ridiculous repetitious grind

After week of playing I have to sadly say it is unplayable. there is big difference between hard but rewarding and insane grindy game. What counts as a progress in this game are literally THREE DOTS in text between characters. then same scenes and SAME dialogs over and over again, and again(see what I did there I can bee Fotm dev now). That repetition in this game is mind numbing to the point of digital lobotomy. Like why?! The fact that I only like one character in game is irrelevant for others but for me it is not. Also no one can tell me that town slut, chubbyy gal or ANYONE in this game except Melinda has a personality. Mane 6 from MLP has more depth than most of models in this game. disappointed.

It truly is crazy to see what people will pay for long term when they feel invested. This game has a large patreon and I don't know why. The game has no storyline being followed in the game and the one that was around to start the game seems like a forgotten memory. It is grind and more grind for mediocre scenes which probably took very little time to create as this game has no storyline and most scenes are on loop. Maybe some feel they are in too deep now to give up on this and I guess it is almost like Stockholm syndrome.

With no story or actual gameplay except grind the same scenes over and over for then a tiny progression piece which most times is unsatisfying, how can I give it more than one star. It is also confusing on what to do at times. Stay away would be my suggestion.

Pros: Quality renders

Cons: Everything else.

1. The storyline is constantly all over the place as was the Devs last project. It's like 90% grinding and repeating the same scenarios over and over again. The story isn't attractive anymore me, the characters are attractive any more to me.

2. The Main character is intolerable, one minute he's trying to be this alpha mastermind and the next he comes off as a whiny beta male. He has no real backbone whatsoever. I honestly wish I could choose another character.

3. Eye Candy is this game is meh at best, once you get past Melinda who is now ruined and lost her appeal there's really isn't any main attraction. Ann is an idiot, who comes off as a bipolar whore, one minute she wanted to be respected and the next she barebacking random dudes. Rhonda is the annoying chubby, insecure girl that's secretly a slut herself and that's pretty much it. Daniel sister is another useless character, half tramp half psychopath. Melinda was the cream of the crop until she wasn't. As the player you grinded and grinded to fuck her but when you finally did, it was lackluster *sigh* then she became a slutty to ruin her character even more.

4. The Dev has always has some iffy writing skills, dating back to his last project. I feel like he didn't even try on this project he just gave up and started listening to his "Patreons" and ultimately let them dictate the story, which is pathetic.

Overall I feel like I wasted my time on this project. And developed arthritis in the process.

I have been watching / playing this game for quite a few updates and was hoping things would have improved. The amount of grind required without any type of mod is just plain ridiculous. That's why I usually avoid open sandbox games that require the same repetitive things just to get "points". Point systems and open sandbox usually spell the end of most of these types of games. I'm honestly surprised this game is still going. I won't get into the whole NTR debate because I know it will open a whole can of worms that I just don't have the time for.

Overall the game is just average. Average graphics, non-existent so called animations and a very outdated point system. If the grind wasn't so bad I would give this game a higher rating. At this point the game really only deserves 2 and a half stars in its current state. Maybe in another year or two when the dev listens to the players the game might actually improve. I just can't justify a higher rating.

EDIT: After playing this major grindfest and losing quite a few braincells going the same scenes and text 600 times I have to change my rating. It seems the dev just wanted filler in the storylines by making the player have to go through the same scenes over and over again.

My question is: Where is the so called storyline of the dev wanting to find out about his parents? You talk to a detective once through the whole game and that's it. Plus the MC gets blackmailed and cucked by Ann the whole time. Plus the forced DP scenes. At least give players the option to skip the fetishes that apparently the dev likes.

Maybe by Chapter / Version 6.0 the storyline might actually go somewhere with the MC finding out about his parents. Hopefully in another 2 to 3 years, if the game is still being made by then, it might actually be worth 3 or higher starts.

I love this game in so cool. I love watching Anna get fucked by everybody, I can't not wait to see every girl fucked by everyone . keep the goodwork. I hope the dev keep improving and addign more scenes.

Grind, grind, grind. You repeat the same scenes probably a 100 times before something happens. And then you grind some more.

The graphics are kind of nice though, even if there is very little animation.

I like this game but No body care the mac users. Its been month second update came for windows but still no one update the mac version. I am just waiting the less grind mode. maybe they are update fast for mac users.
