    I must say, this game exceeded my expectations. Generally, I tend to avoid harem stories because they often reduce female characters to mere objects, lacking depth and substance. However, in this particular game, the portrayal of female characters is a pleasant surprise.

    Compared to the typical offerings in this genre, the female characters in this game possess far more substance and complexity. They are not just shallow stereotypes; instead, they exhibit distinct personalities, desires, and unique traits that set them apart from one another. It's truly refreshing to see that they are not solely defined by their physical attractiveness or their willingness to cater to the main character's desires.

    Among the characters, my personal favorite is Asami. She's such a kind and sweet woman that I would gladly play a solo route dedicated to her. However, that brings me to the downside of a harem game, which is the multitude of girls. This often results in not enough screen time for your favorites. Nevertheless, I must commend the developer for their quick and consistent updates, which keep the game fresh and engaging.

    Although the game may not be perfect in its current state, I consider it superior to at least 95% of what is available on this platform. The developer deserves all the support they can get, as this game is a standout among its peers. It's evident that they have put effort into creating a more nuanced and enjoyable experience, and I believe they should be commended for it.

    I stayed away from this for a long time because I thought I wouldn't be into the GILF thing. I was wrong. The game doesn't take itself very seriously. I couldn't tell you what the overall plot is, besides just sweet lovey cute things that lead to kinky sex, often but not always with family members (I'm a fan). Also I didn't know I had a kink for an MC to sex up a girl and her mom at the same time. But there are several situations like that and I find myself going back to them when I need to uh finish business iykwim.

    There are no animations. Imo it's fine. I assume that helps out with dev time, because I'm ultra impressed with how often we get (big) updates.

    In conclusion, if you like incest content, play it. It'll scratch that itch at the very least.

    This game had a possible great potential when started, as many others. But with the time passing, the obvious path this game has taken makes It quite mediocre.
    Is one of those games based on adding a plethora of women who want to fuck the MC, but doesn't give a fuck about having a CORE PLOT. To say It more clearly, the story GOES NOWHERE...

    PROS:
    - Models are hot.
    - There's some fun comedy here and there.
    - Has a lot of characters. *


    CONS:
    - The story has no direction. Basically the plot is non-existent.
    - The unending repetition of concepts ends becoming annoying. (How cute is that character. Do you think she's cute? You're the most cute thing in this world!!) and on and on and on...
    - Has no animations.
    - Has a lot of characters with no depth. *
    - There's no branching at all (because there's NO PLOT). So your choices are basically I wanna see this scene or not.


    When It started, this game could be a 4 stars easily, now a 2,5 would be generous.

    Graphics - Nothing to complain about.

    Models - Some lovely, some disgusting, most are unfortunately distorted in an outright caricatured way.

    Girls - Not very interesting, at least the ones I pursued, the rest I scrolled through because I was forced to watch disgusting romance scenes with them even though I rejected them.

    Protagonist - A hard case of a retarded exbitionist with a caricaturedly large penis, I didn't like him.

    Story - It's hard for me to say anything about it except that the protagonist goes from place to place and all the women throw themselves at him, I skipped most of it which I explained above, it seems that the emphasis is on the grandmother, however when I saw her on the screen I was tired and said to myself "here we go again that whore" and pressed skip after which I saw a friend's mother "here we go again" skip.

    I did not make it to the end and will not return to this game.

    THE SPOILER PART LARGELY EXPLAINS WHY I RATE THIS GAME SO LOW.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    TL;DR
    If you are not interested in watching scenes with old, fat women then there is not much left for you in this game, even on the full skip option you have nothing to look for here. The worst written option for rejecting women in games of this type.

    Meh, it's not bad. I'm not going to dock points for it having way too much focus on GILFs since that'd be like going to an NTR game and reviewing it badly for having NTR. I haven't finished yet but at this point I'm just pretty much clicking through the dialogue to get to scenes with characters I want to see.
    Word of advice for people: The grandma is pretty integral to the story. If you wanted to play just for the side characters, then it'd be best to just skip this.

    Bad points
    - Too many typos, bad grammar, and poor spelling (gradually improves somewhat)
    - No animations. Makes scenes really boring.
    - No music. It's usually not a big deal if the writing is good but it isn't. Which is why something playing in the background helps drown out the dullness.
    - Lazy writing. Every other guy is either
    A. An abusive scumbag/ a bully
    B. A cheater
    C. A drunk who deserted his family and ran off with someone younger
    D. All of the above
    I think there's maybe 1 or 2 that are just dead but even they don't come out unscathed by the writer's attempt to make the MC a knight-in-shining armor by making every other guy look bad in comparison. Other than Omar who's actually a pretty fun character but he's a chubby-chaser so we don't have to worry about him.

    + Some of the dialogue seems pretty natural so it's not all bad. Plus I understand that there was no other easy way to explain the MC having all these women fall into his lap but at some point it just gets completely unnecessary.
    + Renders look decent
    + The MC is written to be a relatively competent human being
    + A good variety of characters even though most of the time is spent with the grandma and surrogate mom.

    Edit 2: Finished "Part 1". Overall, it's not bad.
    • The GILF stuff still really grosses me out and is a real boner killer but there's a pretty huge cast and you get a good amount of time without "Nana" as well. Especially Fiona and her family. Shit, you could make a game just based off of that. Hot. As. Fuck.
    • Typos and grammar/spelling errors seemed to reduce as I kept playing as well.
    • Looks like the mod has a music add-in so that saved the day for the music.
    • Dialogue gets ... a little dumb and one caveat about having such a huge cast is that some characters quickly become redundant.
    • You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    I'm still not going to take away points for the grandma thing because it's the main thing about the game (it's even in the name) even though ... I wish it wasn't.

    Edit 3:
    • I think there are just too many characters. The ones I'm interested in only have 1 or 2 scenes in the entirety of part so far. Which kind of makes it pointless to play.
    • It'd be fine to sit through meandering dialogue as long as I can get to a scene with a character I'm pursuing but that's not the case. I think this is a game that I'll just update once in a while to just check the gallery.
    • If that's the case, I really don't think I can ultimately give this game anything more than a 3. Too many boner killers and meandering story.

    Reviewed Version [0.31 - Played up to 0.12, skimmed to around 0.14]

    A short preface. I recently decided to systematically review the AVNs and conventional VN's i play and have played, although i might need to replay some of the past ones. Grandma's House was however one of the many new titles added to my library. To understand my 3 star rating you should know the following.

    1. I played a very similar AVN just before Grandma's House and i ended up dropping that one for almost the exact same reasons, which left me a bit sour.
    2. I consider myself to have above average standards for certain aspects in AVN's. Mostly related to writing and dialogue. My primary brain remains switched on when i read AVN's, but perhaps in a energy saving mode.
    3. Like most people i have a set of tags/fetishes that i really like or care about. Just as well, i have a set of dealbreakers that very quickly will decrease my rating of a title or make me quit outright.
    4. I have trouble containing my ramblings once i get going and some of my points below will seem oddly specific and nitpicky. I tend to use these as examples for more persistent issues.
    5. Like most recent AVN additions to my library i picked Grandma's House based on certain tags: Harem (amazing if handled well), Pregnancy (both the breeding aspect and the pregnant look), INC(not needed but adds spice) and lactation.
    6. I am kinda paraphrasing a review i already wrote in a personal word file. I have however merged some points together and maybe added a new point or 2. I also found some inspiration in other reveiws here.

    Pros:
    - While obviously a comedic relief character, Omar was legitimately funny and a nice break from the forced and often bad humor.

    - A cast that is highly diverse and visually pleasing. The models look great compared to the average seen in Daz3D titles, with only a few wonky looking details on some of them. It's as if someone had occasionally used a morphing tool. Elizabeths (blonde aunt) tank top come to mind.

    - H-scenes, while I never got far into the game, they were decent in most aspects. Plenty of renders to gradually illustrate the progression movements during an erotic encounter. Serviceable dialogue of an appropriate length. The occasional use of onomatopoeia works well. They looked fine without animation.

    - Renders outside of H-scenes were used to great effect as well and i don't think that Grandma's House suffer from the lack of animation.

    - A good variety of fetishes and the ones with the most focus are the ones i like the most. The primary reason i selected this title to begin with.

    - No engrish here. Good consistent grammar and spelling

    Mehs (or what i in some cases would label Hit/Miss for persons with different tastes from mine):
    -
    Characters that dress lightly a with little reason. Mostly MC being shirtless at the slightest amount of physical work or in the morning long after leaving bed.

    - Molly, the dog, feels like a wierd plot device. He/she (yes, i said that) spends 95% of her time cowardly hiding in the laundry room. Probably to avoid interferance with the "action"? IDK.

    - A sin common in these non-fantasy and non-scifi setting are how these really expensive looking houses and apartments are so god damn widespread.

    Cons:
    - This is going to be a long section, but the dialogue, oh the dialogue. The dialogue is the primary reason i decided to drop Grandma's House.
    Lets start with the content. In my mind it felt like 50-55% of what came out of MC's mouth were compliments. Then about 30% jokes and attempts at humor, that were not funny, 5 % that were somewhat funny and the last 10-15% were normal speech that actually served to move us forward in the plot, bring up information and so on.
    Things weren't much different on the girls end with them putting themselves down, then accepting MC's compliments and praising MC saying "Oh well, i guess you are right MC, if only there were other guys like you out there, but no, there's ooooooooooonly you".
    And it is all so damn hyperbolic and diabetically saccharine that it very quickly looses any true emotional impact because of how constant it is.
    No one talks like that and it makes the vast amount of the central characters seem like cardboard cutouts or robots, with a singular purpose.
    Fiona and Riona probably ended up as my favorite girls on account of having the most natural and REAL sounding dialogue. They, along with Omar, felt somewhat like real people.

    - This high amount of compliments also results in incredibly stale and predictable conversations. Repetative as well. Some morning conversations feels indistinguishable from one another with the only diffrence being the result of different characters being present.
    Another reviewer (starfarts) perfectly summarized how these conversations appear in his Feb. 27 2023. review.

    - I mentioned the jokes that weren't funny. Try to pay attention and you will notice how often *Laughs* or *giggle* us used in the text. This is only a minor complaint, but it highlights the often forced nature of the humor. An example of forced humor would be whenever MC's lousy cooking skills are brought up.

    - Then we have one of my personal dealbreakers, which is the relegation of all males into roles of villain, douchebag, comedic relief and goons( of the villains). I don't remember any goons or actual villain like characters in Grandma's House. But we have plenty of douchebags who are written to be super easy to dislike and effectively serves as delivery men, kicking one girl after another directly into the harem with MC not having to lift a finger in many cases. Incredibly convenient. What makes this a dealbreaker to me is not the way it is used as a cheap narrative trick, but instead the toxic portrayal of the male gender. It baffles me how the AVN medium, dominated by straight male consumers, isn't a cultural bastion, where we can escape from that BS.

    - The concepts of male power fantasy and wish fulfillment is taken too far and there's a lot to this issue.
    First we have the lower arm sized dong, which also doesn't look that great. It practically gets worthshipped and all that jazz. Dev did a decent job with positioning the models in the H scenes, but sometimes, due to awkward camera angles, the dong looks so big, and the girls so small in comparison, that they would need snake-jaws to fit the damn thing during oral.
    There's also the ridiculing of other unseen male characters for being cucks. Really, F****** REALLY?! Jesus, what a powertrip this is. Is there anything this title won't do in order to make MC seem like the most ALPHA ever?
    He is like beyond ALPHA, like litterally defining of what alpha means, like..................The Proto-ALPHA.

    - Despite being written as a mushy character who can do no wrong, MC is incredibly casual about how he would use severe violence on the poor douchebags who are doomed from the start because of MC's level 9000 plot armor (hmmmmm, is it even plot armor is there is no plot and only expansion of the harem?). Leave the poor lads alone, they can't help that they were created like that.

    - Nana's wealth is used to conveniently handwave away the few small, but slightly interesting issues that we face. This is a minor issue. Dev likely found some better assets(houses/apartments) and needed to implement them somehow. But still, buying up an entire apartment complex because your friend is under slight risk of eviction? A little much.

    - I only just got to the parts where the label starts getting used, but the whole "Daddy" thing creeped my out real damn fast.
    One of the aunt characters uses the term as well, but that just come across as wierd, especially considering that her daughter, the cousin, uses it as well, and even in the same scene. But no, even without the "Daddy" label, the interactions you have with pretty much all the younger girls (cousin and i think 5 others) are real damn creepy. I am aware that this very type of interaction is what brings some people here to full mast in seconds, but it just isn't for me. Fortunately, only the cousin and a young asian girl whose lewd content i didn't reach, are amongst the 7 unavoidable harem members, so i won't let this con drag the rating down substantially.

    - The setting started out seeming like it was quite grounded with a slightly silly streak, but kept getting evermore silly and porn like.

    Comments:
    Well, i decided to give Grandma's House a 3 and not a 2 (in my existing review it was around 4.8-5.0 out of 10) because of the effort put into this one. I also think that some of my cons would barely noticed by the average AVN enjoyer. I would also say that this is mostly a case of Grandma's House just not being the right AVN for me, rather than Grandma's House being bad. Some of its weak aspects are litterally the norm in the AVN sphere.

    Sarkasmus

    TL;DR:
    - v0.31
    - Good renders
    - Barely noticeable recycling of stock-models
    - No story whatsoever
    - Still surprisingly good!
    - Models for every taste
    - A little repetitive

    First of all, with a single glance at the heading-image for this game, we all immediately know what to expect. A mindless harem game about a ridiculously well hung MC, without any male competition, so every female is going to throw themselves at him after he took the time to greet them.

    This game surprised me, though.

    In between the mindless sex-scenes, this game takes the time to make the characters show genuine affection towards each other and properly develop their relationships. The little touches, the small gestures, the loving dialogues, all make this just... fucking wholesome. That scene where the MC comes home with his new junker car, and the Granny asks him if he's gonna make the car "go Vroom-Vroom", made me genuinely laugh. Simply because I couldn't get past how cute this woman was while talking to the grown-ass man she had taken care of since he was a little boy. It sounds ridiculous, but there are countless scenes like that in this game, making it very clear how these characters genuinely care for the MC, instead of being the usual mindless Bimbos who just have the hots for his 12-inch schlong.

    In addition to that, the dev implemented one of the most user-friendly choice-systems I have ever seen in a RenPy Game. When you are prompted with the decision of whether or not you want to get with any given character, it rarely happens immediately. The dev usually takes some time to set the scene and develop the relationship to a point where it makes at least some sense for them to fuck. By then, if you realize that the character is not your cup of tea, you DON’T have to reload a save to then hold the skip-key for an hour to get through everything you’ve seen since then. Instead, you get asked if you STILL want to do this. Some times, when you have to choose between being sub or dom in an encounter, you even get to try and change that decision in a later encounter! This is really well thought out, especially since this game offers models for basically every taste. Big, thin, tall, small, every conceivable ethnicity, you name it!

    The only reason I’m giving four instead of five stars, is the dirty talk and the repetitiveness. Every sexual encounter is basically the same. The dev did not get really creative with them. Same with the dirty talk. For some reason, while I get to make choices and inputs on a lot, I do not get proper choices for how some of the key characters call my MC. When you get with the first mother-daughter-duo, you even talk about getting with the mother and becoming the daughter’s new daddy. So, it makes sense for the daughter to call you “Daddy”. But when the mother, who’s roughly twenty years older than you, calls you that as well… that’s just weird. That’s a massive missed opportunity, in my book. I guess the Dev just likes women to call him that, so he hardcoded it into basically every encounter.

    TL/DR: The gold standard for a mindless, aimless, porny daz power trip wholesome harem game. Do not expect interesting story beats. You might as well queue up the Pornhub jingle every time this jank-af looking chad protagonist walks into a new situation. Scene content is strong, but the narratives understandably lack any sort of meaningful sexual tension or build up. It is fast food and the gals are all eating the same foot-long.

    + Scene content is well written and covers a lot of different heterosexual harem fantasies.
    + Scene content is robust and diverse
    + Scene content actually involves intimacy. A lot of VN fail to achieve this
    + Wholesome
    + Well rendered
    + There is a doggo and you can pet it
    + Celebrates the beauty of a lot of different body types.
    + Has good awareness regarding consent.


    - DO NOT EXPECT MEANINGFUL PLOT
    - There is very little realism or drama in the relationship dynamics
    - Wholesomeness is sometimes so hyperbolic it is annoying

    This game isn't perfect and if you're looking for animations or a deep plot, you will be disappointed. The reason why I'm giving it five stars regardless is that it's so hilariously wholesome.

    The gameplay is really simple and there are no hidden stats or any kind of gameovers. The choices you make only determine what content you want to see. Skipping content mostly doesn't have any negative consequences except in some cases where several characters content is tied together. But even that is minimal.

    The renders are good and there is excellent variety in characters, but as mentioned before, no animations. I'm fine with that, since I'd rather have enough of good renders and decent sized and regular updates than animations, which are quite work intensive.

    The writing is where this game shines. It's not deep or very emotional, but it does exactly what it sets out to do excellently. The characters all have their own personality and somehow the writing manages to let one suspend ones disbelief while both the size of the harem and the absurdity of the escapades keep on ramping up. The game even explores some nastier kinks without giving up on the wholesomeness.

    And that is why it's five stars for me. I'm fine with dark and nasty too, but it's really fun to see someone manage this level of absurd debauchery and some dark themes with certain characters while keeping up the atmosphere of light wholesomeness. The MC is well calibrated to be a confident chad up for anything without being the slightest bit douchy (unless you want to in certain scenes). As a rare exception on this site, consent is consistently handled well in this game.

    Yeah it's all a ridiculous power fantasy, but the writer knows what they're writing and the tone is just right for the type of game they're making and simplicity of the gameplay suits this game very well. If you're interested in a fun ride with a huge cast of surprisingly well developed characters, try it out. Don't expect anything super deep though. Even if the writing is good, the amount of characters doesn't allow for huge amount of depth for most of them.

    As of v0.31


    PROS

    • Good looking MC (I find important when we see them a lot)
    • Good Side Characters (personalities & variation)
    • Optional Kinks
    • Great models
    • Natural feeling dialogue
    • Mostly optional LI's
    • Regular updates

    CONS

    • Some forced LI's
    • Some LI's locked behind certain other ones (though makes sense storywise)
    • No animation ( Decent animation would add another star for me)
    • A lot of LI's now so it may take time to get back around to any particular one.


    CONCLUSION

    Nice easy breezy game, there's no secret/murder mystery/disappearance/blackmail plot. It's the MC relaxing and dealing with small events. Mostly likable side cast and hot situations.

    I'd say for those that just want to play an AVN without wanting to strangle characters or the dev, waiting six months for an update and several versions for scenes.

    Too many woman with no sense of depth or even very original. There are only a handful of really fun and interesting characters in this game IMO and the developer should have kept to those only by also providing some story or background to those characters.

    As it stands every day the NPC wakes up, screws around sleeps and rinse and repeat. IMO most great games are built on something that is believable and interesting. This game has neither, some great models sure but the developer looses focus and provides updates full of waffle...if its only for the fap, go watch actual porn, its better...

    EDIT:
    Current version, not sure why I bother following this, I guess some characters are a bit more interesting that others, but overall this game is just simply bad because it has no reason to exist save to FAP to ludicrous nonsense that at this point has actually gotten pretty boring and stale. Its all more of the same and what was "funny" kinda, is no longer. The game really does not deserve the rating its got, there have come and gone much better options.

    great AVN i love it for one thing Moonbox seems to out the updates really fast even if they are small or medium he still seems to keep us all wanting more from his AVN by trickling down the updates . the story and renders are both great the story has a little bit of everything little bit of laughter and little bit of sass and happiness the only thing that i would say holding it back from being great is the fact it needs animations or more of them instead of click animations . other than that it is a a great AVN i love it and look forward to more

    story very linear, choices dont mean much, most choices say something like "eat pussy" or "no"
    graphics are average compared to other games
    the story usually involves going from character to character and having sex with them and usually not having a choice to or not
    im bored of this game to be honest, not that interesting or fun to play

    A good game overall that with very nice renders, the writing well it's there not that bad not good either for myself, best part of this game is the romancable girls which are quite a lot and they aren't a copy paste to one another that go along with quite a number of kinks, if someone hasn't tried it yet you should it's worth the time!

    An absolute gem of a game. The renders are a bit rough in the beginning, but get much much better as the story progresses. Tons of girls, tons of romance, tons of sex, whats not to like?

    The girls are all super unique with different body types and personalities, which is quite refreshing. The writing is great, some good humor, and has good pacing with the main family.

    It's definitely one of those games where you turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride, which in my opinion are super fun. Highly highly recommend it!

    I went along with the premise through most of the current versions, but the story is just too stupid to want to follow any more.

    Great models though, but the rest is just pointless. A boring slog through endless fangirls of all sizes and colours. No sexual tension whatever.

    And why on earth make "nanna" the main characer of the story that the mc rotates around? The description even goes out of it's way to state "no sex with nanna yet!" - as if that's a thing of some importance?
