Same.

I haven't followed this game before and I don't know if there is more content planned or it's just the endings now. My comments below might be bit on the harsher side of critisim I've had against a game and it's not to say I didn't like it or thought the game is bad. I've really enjoyed it right up to the point of moving out and then is crashed.

I very seldom call out or think poorly of plots or plot holes in porn games, and probably never publicly done so, but I really think the moving out plot was lame. I mean Alice and the MC are in love and really they're just going to move to separate places? They could have moved to the aunt and kept her in the story, but she seems to be cut out.
They could have moved together, I mean they'd been living together for the last year, it wouldn't be hard or unreasonable to convince the parents that it's not a bad idea. Hell if they where willing to give her the money, no reason it couldn't be for both of them to get a place together when they obviously get along and have done well in the last year, from the parent's perspective of them just being step-siblings. Honestly it just felt like lazy writing to me, to get to ending choices. Like "I have no idea where to go next, I'll just force them to move out to separate places and cut to the endings".

What about Leah's story or Karina's story? Honestly there shouldn't even be a possibility of an ending for those two with they way it's gone down. Sure they where fooling around, but take Leah, they're hooking up and the months after the 3 some (if you had it) she gets him to pretend they're a couple for the parents and that's only the 1st or 2nd time they shag based on your choices. Karina is even worse plot wise. And what is strange for me, given my preference for petite girls over curvy and man Alice is curvy but in the best possible way, I really disliked Karina as a love interest. I loved the seemingly innocence of her, and first party where you meet her and she starts stripping and gets stuck, I laughed hard at that for a good few minutes "Go east", but honestly she ruined it for me when she joined the beach vacation.

Mel and Alice are really only realistic options.

I'd also like to have seen some redemption for Susan, mainly because she's potentially the hottest most attractive of all the models for me. Only Alice would beat her for me and even then it's 50/50. I know plot wise it would be hard to redeem her, but if we're buying that moving out and separate living thing, it would be just as believable for her to apologize and try make amends with the girls so she can get with the MC. Hell I find the thought of her apologizing to the girls, especially Leah for everything she's done, thanking them for getting her fired as it was the wake up she needed and helped her get her life in order and admitting to be willing to do anything she has to, to earn their forgiveness more plausible than the moving out.

There has been some really great writing in this and some good humor. I really love Mel, from the first pic in the start to the way she always pushed the MC to go further and wilder, I honestly felt like she was the catalyst for the whole story and the way things went down. Without her, I think this would have been another average MC failing for his sister type incest game, with a few other chicks thrown in as eye candy.

Sorry for the rant, it's a great game, I'm just dissapointed in the ending.

It has multiple endings bro. Don't worry. Leah just happened to win the first draft pick. I like her render teasers...

Man, just found this game and it's rushing towards the end. I know it's been going for a long time and it's not the game's fault I'm late to the party (well, mostly... The name had me thinking it was a "molesting your mom and sisters in their sleep" game, so I wasn't sold. My fault for not doing my research), and all good things must come to an end.

At least I should be good for an Alice ending. She is by far the best looking character I've ever seen in one of these games, and easily in my top 5 of looks and personality combined. In a perfect world, I'd have a harem ending but ditching Karina, but you can't make a game like this and account for every possible variable for everyone.

Karina is cute and all but, I'd drop her too and make a harem of the women left. But If I were to choose, I would choose to pick 1 Alice 2A Leah and 2B Melody only.

Hello, I am new here and this is my first post. Idk if i am doing this right or messing up this post but sorry if i do. Anyways, I have been playing the Freeloading Family VN and I got the harem ending. There wasn't any option for hailey or susan though. But slept with hailey after the robbery in her house and with susan again after the speeding up. But it seems the endings hasnt been updated yet and tells me to wait for the update. I was playing the 0.26 version. So my question is, will there be any update for this VN? or this is the end? Thanks in advance

Edit: I have attached my ending options. Please see if I did anything wrong or if there are any other options which I missed (like for susan or hailey) .

Welcome to the forum. No, this is not the end, it's just that none of the choices have been implemented yet. Working theory is that Susan is out and Hailey will be included in the harem end.

Although I will definitely be going for that ending as my perfect ending, I wish V.A. Laurie would do as stiglet is doing with The Visit. They weren't going to give the Nikki her own ending and just include her in the harem ending and an ending with Karen, but due to popular demand they'll now be giving Nikki her own ending and I feel that Hailey should also be given her own ending in this one.

I'm not actually a fan of Hailey personally, but from a game/relationship/time persepctive....has she really been around long enough to warrant an ending of her own? we've (MC) grown to know and love the other girls...Hailey always seemed to me to be more of a 'bit of fun' rather than someone we've developed feelings for over an extended period of time.

Not saying she shouldn't get an ending btw...I know she has a lot of fans.

The MC probably spent about as much time with her as he did with Karina and yet Karina gets an ending, so by that token Hailey should also get an ending. Also, let's remember that this ending jumps ahead 2 years so there could be a way for it to work. Maybe a Hailey-only ending could be the "choose none" ending, and by not picking any of the girls on the list, he spends more time with Hailey which results in them being in a relationship 2 years later.

i'm a bit confused there's an option where you pick one of the girs?
Yes, that's how the last update ended after it time jumped 2 years. Each decision is an ending for the game because it's wrapping up, and you can choose between Alice, Leah, Melody, Karina, Harem, or none of them, and each ending will be added in separate updates.

My favorite girl is Melody, then Alice/Leah... I don't want to have sex with Karina or Auntie...
I would like ending a harem but just with Mel, Leah and Alice in the same house... That's the dream.
A harem with Karina and/or Auntie is definetly not for me !

“Hey Everyone, it's V.A. Laurie. I wanted to take some time to reach out to everyone. It's been a while since I have been active online, and I know a lot of you are eager to play the next update of Freeloading Family, and you must be wondering what's up with it taking so long.
Well to start, the world was turned on its head this year. It doesn't even need to be explained, every person on this planet that could be reading this message knows what's been happening. This covid bullshit upended my life as well. I was one of many who lost their day job at the start of this thing. In a way I looked at that happening as a blessing. After all, I could write all the time now. The next chapter would be awesome because I could focus on it and nothing else. Right? Not so much.
It was around this same time that my brother fell ill. We worried it was covid, but it wasn't. Isn't. It's still ongoing, whatever is going on with him. He was in a coma for over two months, his organs shutting down. My family actually got a call from doctors at one point saying to expect another call from them in the next 12 hours announcing he had passed. Somehow, he survived. Like I said, we still don't know what's going on. Tests are ongoing.
My wife also lost her job around this same time. So we went from being a two income family to zero income, with a child, and my brother was in really bad shape.
And then, as if that wasn't enough, a friend went missing. Like, completely missing.
So with the stress of not being able to pay my bills, the fear for my brother's survival, the fear of my friend being missing, all hitting me at once, I fell into a bit of a depression. I was really sad and unwell for a bit recently. Every time I'd sit down to write, I would feel anxiety. It didn't help that I was reading a lot of the negative feedback comments from the last update. I get it, really, I do; the chapter was a slap to the face to many who weren’t expecting the ending to the main storyline being announced in such a way. But, since I was already on my way down into depression, reading that made me start to feel sick to my stomach about writing.
I had to take some time to get my head together, and I apologize for that. But for anyone wondering about these horrible things I’ve been dealing with - my friend made contact with her family before disappearing again, which is troubling, but I suppose better than the alternative of not being found. My brother is still being tested and treated. He’s out of the coma and currently living with my mother, as he’s almost completely atrophied during that coma. He’s… really unwell. But getting better.
We are making better progress again for the game. The chapter is more than ¾ complete at this point, so we should be announcing a release for it very soon.
Thank you all for the support you’ve shown this game over the years, and more importantly right now, the support any of you have shown me over the years. It’s really appreciated and what has kept me doing this.
Ps, something I’ve been doing to get through my depression is exercising, which I know, is something that everyone says to do, but the kind of exercise I’ve chosen to do is via Stepmania. I used to be big into Dance Dance Revolution many years ago. So I whipped out the old USB dance pad and I’ve been getting my dumb ass moving by dancing around.
Love you all, bye for now!”
