VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 4 v0.56] [Moonbox]

Firstly its a great game i liked every dialogue,the humour and scenes.I hope MoonBox keeps making scenes like the very first one on the plane,The choices during scenes were really hot...Im glad we get to play his/her work,I would be glad if MoonBox sees this review and keep sharing his amazing work.I cant handle another abandoned game after getting into the this amazing story and scenes

This is pretty great game, there are milfs and teens as love interests which is completely Harem oriented just like WVM. There is really a good chemistry between characters and protagonist. The Graphics are amazing, the characters and story are amazing, this is really a 10/10 game for me. Huge amount of content as of now too which is amazing. Maybe a trans character would be amazing to add to roster like WVM does. Maybe 2 trans character, one teen and another a milf. Like I said, each and every character are amazing in this.

Looking for next update.

Version 0.05 review

The overview is a bit misleading. I came in expecting the usual incest game with the same characters and tropes as always. It kind of is, at the same time, it's not.

It pulls it off by being aware of what it is. It doesn't try to pull off any insane twists or create completely unreal situations. This game knows what it is and does it well. It's just a simple harem game with a simple story, yet it has some complex characters. I believe that's the real draw of this game, everything is nonsense but the characters seem like real personalities. They all have their own strengths and insecurities. They start off as hollow yet sexy models but they eventually develop into people you can care about.

Bonus points for how loving and caring the main character is. It's an extremely nice change of pace from playing the twelve year old future rapist.

Pros
Great characters
Story is light-hearted and enjoyable
Huge variety of women, there's something for everyone
Renders are mostly good

Cons
Everyone has a huge ass, I love it but some won't
Renders need some work, there's a lot of clipping but it seems to get better in later versions
No incest yet, but rushed incest isn't good so this might be a pro
Where's the bush man?

To summarize, if you like harem, play this game. You won't regret it.

Amazing art style and heaps of content, especially for v0.05. Not to mention the wide array of characters (there's even a midget) I highly recommend to everyone. Just a fair warning before you play though, all of these girls have a lot of curves so if that's not what you're into then this might not be for you. However if you are into curvier girls then this game is a gold mine

ok to start off i didn't have a lot of expectations for this game but boy was i wrong it quickly became one of the best games on this website for me

let's talk about the story and the characters first the story is rather simple it's about a guy who just finished college and is going back home to his grandma i think it's kinda confusing and then it just builds as he starts to make friends and relationships with varying woman and one guy his friend who i just fucking love they truly feel like friends imagine that a porn game which has all these incredibly sexy and verried body women there is a type for everyone with great personalities and story's and i actually like the guy just as much as the woman that's something that very few porn games can do also mind you there is as of right now atleast zero gay porn in this game so it's just his personality and his relationship with our MC and i fucking love him not sexualy of course now let's talk some more about the woman in this game since that's the most important thing in a porn game i'm not going into detail about every woman because i want you to experience them for yourself but let's just say they are all awesome i loved every single woman in this game i didn't hate a single one they are all just as wel written all have very nice personality's obviously there are some i find hotter and sexier than others but they are all equally well written and fun to be around and that takes talent to have so many characters and they are all equally well written the developer obviously is very talented and i can't wait to discover more of the woman in this game and uncover their story and personality more and obviously the porn scenes can't wait for those either

now let's talk about the MC the guy we play as he starts of pretty generic but through the course of the game he get's better and more complicated and you start to see just how charming caring nice and just how much fun he is to be around he is just the perfect guy no wonder every girl in town wants to fuck him and obviously his massive cock also helps with that he also isn't shy if an opportunity for sex arises he takes that opportunity he is not shy about sex at all which is obviously awesome in a porn game but no matter what he always stays nice to the woman he has sex with unless of course if the woman wants rough sex he is anything but a blank slate he has personallity charm he's funny nice and is just overal a great MC to play with i would love to have this guy as a friend honestly

now let's talk about the graphics this game is obviously not made with honey select or koikatsu so that let's me believe this game is made with DAZ studios which is weird because this game looks much better than most games created with DAZ studios also i wouldn't know how he makes so many unique looking characters with with DAZ of course he could just have made these models himself which is highly unlikely because of the time talent and effort it takes to model so many unique character models that are in this game regardless how he made this game it looks fantastisch i would go as far as to say this is one of the better looking games on this website the character models the lighting the textures of the walls and everything looks so nice there even seems to be some level of ray tracing in this game as there was this one scene that the MC's underwear just reflected the entire room which if true is just insane overal the game looks great i would give the graphics a 9/10 almost perfect

now let's talk a bit about the humor in this game this is one of the few games that balances humor with serious and sexy moments just perfectly legit some of the jokes actually made me laugh out loud like this game can be seriously funny but the humor doesn't overstay it's welcome when the game needs to get serious with some of the female characters it does so wonderfully it's just perfectly balanced as all things should be the same with the sexy scenes it balances humor with sexy scenes so perfectly that it's hard to believe there are so many games that take the humor way to far losing all seriousness and thus ruining all the intimate and serious moments ultimately ruining the game which is a shame this game balancess all these things perfectly you will have so many laugh out loud moments the MC is genuinely funny and just a little bit cheesy but the fun and charming cheesiness the humor doesn't overstay it's welcome the game isn't to serious balancing it out and the sexy moments feel genuinely sexy

now let's talk about the sexy scenes the fetishes or kinks however you wanna call them and just how well the porn scenes are made they aren't overly long overstaying their welcome but also not to short every sex scene feels just the right length and there are plenty of fetishes so that it doesn't get boring now let's talk about the scenes there are sex scenes a plenty which i'm gonna be honest sex scenes like vagina penetration scenes don't do anything for me luckily most sex scene have at least more than just that most sex scenes start with cunnilingus and has a blowjob after there where some sex scenes where right at the end you could choose to just cum in her pussy or cum in her mouth or throat sometimes and i love that also not every sext scene is pussy sex sometimes it's a handjob or a blowjob so it's nicely balanced out it's never just one thing and i hope the developer keeps that up the game is still pretty new even though there is plenty of content already but there aren't many interesting and unique sex scenes yet but there are atleast 2 scenes with a woman where there is piss content like pissing on her and her drinking your piss from the source which i fucking love i hope in the future we also have the choice to let our MC drink piss from a woman and plenty more unique kinky scenes but for now there's enough sexy scenes to use as masturbation material for a while

now my overal thoughts about the game in a sea of porn games that focus on overly complicated story's that focuses so much on story that the sex scenes are just boring and an afterthought never mind that we are on a mainly porn game website boring games and just overal shitty porn games made for just a quick cash grab and overly complicated games so it's so refreshing to have a game that has a simple story with incredibly well written and complicated characters with backstories and personal motivations a great MC a fun and easy to follow story about just buillding relationships with various woman getting to know them on a deeper on more personal level and just growing up with great and really hot sexy scenes that don't overstay their welcome all while getting to know a bit more about our MC as the game progresses with almost no drama no fights just a simple wholesome story this game here is a rare gem and i wish more games took this approach just overal an amazing game easily one of the best on this website that you can just play and have fun with learning many different personallity's and have some great hot sexy scenes to boot i sincerely hope the developer doesn't eventually abandon this game that would be a tragedy overal this game is a 10/10 like a said a rare gem

TL;DR: It's a sweet, no-nonsense ride that ends up very enjoyable, go for it.

Longer version:
It's a harem-based story that plays and dances around the usual tropes of the genre by being just self-aware enough to defuse them. For instance: Yes, all the girls immediately falls for MC, as usual with these kind of games. But rather than playing it all seriously and pretend it's because the MC is Jesus Dick himself, the game jokes about how surprisingly few men seem to live in this town. And how the few that are still there are either massive jerks, gay, or simply not into the same kind of girl as you are. This kind of self-awareness makes the game much less eye-rolling than usual, because you immediately get the rather light-hearted vibes of the game.

In the same vein, the game doesn't try to pull off unbelievable twists out of its ass. It never jumps the shark with incredible events, like you defeating a global conspiracy, dicking the pope's daughter, or whatever. It's a down-to-earth story where you play a charming (albeit rather lazy) dude, who reconnect with old friends and family and nothing more. The pace is extremely good, alternating between slow-burners (some women will take time to get, gradually pushing into the hot & lewd territory as days go by) and easy-to-get chicks.

The renders are mostly good, most of the characters look great.

Finally, the writing is perfectly competent. Most of the character have a well-defined personality, avoiding the trap of feeling like reskinned clones of each others, and the dialogues are credible enough. MC's smooth-talking is genuinely charming and funny. The writing is good enough to carry the player along and makes him care about the characters.

Definitely a game to try and keep an eye on, keep up the good job.

EDIT:
Updating from 3 stars to 4 for the following reasons:

Renders have improved since the first updates, with the renders from v0.13 and upwards taking a huge leap in both quality but also its content.

There's still two points in the game that somehow seem to bother me.

First one would be the fact that everything's going way too well. Any sort of disagreement like with Liz is being settled in the next update. There's some yort of upbuilt with both Shizuka and maybe Tanya but unlike Shizuka, Tanya is not as present.

Second one would be some characters like Sophia, Isabelle and sometimes Cat acting too naive and young, making it seem too much into Loli genre. Not sure if that's intended but it definetily gives me some unrest.


The game has some issues.
1st - Sometimes the renders make no sense.
Sometimes the women's hair become larger or move even though they did not move at all. Look at Fiona's masturabting scene. Her hair goes inside her body or her arm just happens to go through her leg.
Some characters also seem to float.

2nd - The penis is just way too big man and it sometimes looks like it's changing its size.

3rd - The renders feel way too static. What I mean is Nana's hair when she wakes up.


Pros of the game:
Variety of fetishes (male-/femdom, urination, spanking & S&M, squiritng) while also having multiple character types (innocent, freaky, mature, black, Asian, Arab, gingers [OH THE GINGERS!]) and it's quite simply structured so it's less of a "your choices matter" but more in a "dude just have fun and don't think about the consequences too much".

I'd say solid. It's fun to play but it had to be said about the malfunctions of the game.

Ok finally found some time to play this game Overall its got a great flow to it and proper slowburn where needed. The choice of locking out the cop because a player like myself doesn't like femdom I do not thing is right instead of bringing in a "new" girl to replace her I guess is fine and all but wouldn't a separate path non dom path be just as easy and also allowing her to still be in the game for those that liked her model? The next issue I had was the unrealistic size on the petite girls. Prime example the mc's cousin Cat. her ass is almost 3 sizes bigger than any petite girl I have ever seen. Now if she was fat instead of skinny ehhhh it might pass but from the waist line up that ass doesn't match her body type. Noe I can understand some of the milfs having big butts large tits and such but they are not little petite girls and even worse not gymnast who are toned and thin from head to toe. My last issue was with Priyas sisters story line. She should have taken the offer to go with them after the scene with her and the mc. if you chose the option given and with what Priya said that is going to create problems for the sister in a few months... IRL much bigger problems and it would not be pretty.
I'm not telling anyone how to write their game but after the scene between the sister and the mc she should have just told the mc she would take Priya offer and left with them instead of putting herself into what will be a bigger nightmare when the truth comes out.
So in my honest opinion I would keep the big ass stuff to the milf and chubby girls. Give players a option to not have femdom but a more romantic path with the cop instead of just do or do not and forcing non femdom players to drop her completely. And as of this update last but not least a option that Priyas sister doesn't actually go through with the wedding.
As I already said the game is pretty good but has a few glaring problems that could easily be fixed and would have gotten a much higher rating from me.

Truly enjoying this VN so much. Not only is the story so much fun and exciting, but the renders are wonderfully sexy. I like to always play a few updates before rating and such, and this VN is definitely one I would highly recommend. Being a fan of harem/multiple LI VNs this one definitely spoke to me. Throw in some smoking hot LIs and this is definitely a very fun one to play through. So many options, you can choose who you like, who you don't and even which kinks you may want to explore.
So just want to thank the Dev for all the hard work, and I am very excited to see where this goes going forward.

Summary:
Grandma's House is not the most complicated story I've ever played, but as of 0.04 it's proven to be very good at developing an intriguing cast of ladies. The renders and sex scenes are mostly hot, and thank god there are some good kinks (mdom and watersports being my personal faves) to break up what would otherwise be a little too saccharine of a game. It is in danger of veering into too many side-character territory, though.


Pros
- It looks good
- Great variety of characters in personality and body type for MC to interact with
- simple but competently written story that doesn't get in it's own way.

Cons
- Getting real close to overload with female characters. I would love if the MC never met anybody else new and started to work on making the family a little more depraved.
- Related to the first, I don't mind a slow burn, but other than side characters, so far there is almost no momentum towards any of the main characters.
- Nothing wrong with some romance and head pats and what not, but here's to hoping some of the 'fam' is into a kink or two.

Right now this game for me is a 3.5 which I am rounding up due to the great potential it has. Only time will tell if the MC will soon be the man of the house enjoying three generations of fun, or if 30 more breakfast chats are in the future.

Either way, best of luck to the dev.

(edit: most of the review is still accurate, but I was waiting to see how the MC would end up, and unfortunately he has entered into full Marty Stu territory. Terrified of other dicks being in the same state, and basically just a full on pathetic worry wort who knows that any other man in the picture would result in him immediately losing all his women. His terror of competition is so extreme he almost has a panic attack when he thinks a woman is asking him for a threesome. Of course, he expects all his women to share him amongs 20 other ladies, because he's a narcissistic asshole.)

Still, if you ctrl skip most of his dialogue, the individual sex scenes are mostly hot. I'm just going to dock a half star from the 3.5 to 3. Still worth some playtime as a fap game.

The dev is also super reliable with their update schedule, and updates have good amount of content.

(updated 8/21/2022 v0.12)

(Edit: This game just seems determined to drop stars, and it's a real shame, because the dev actually writes mdom sex scenes incredibly well. Unfortunately, that is the only thing they seem to write well...with 95% of the rest of the text being saccarine filler that will make you want to puke like you ate a weeks worth of candy corn in one hour. The stuff with the redheads, and occasionally with family and gf is still tolerable. Everything else is just auto skip garbage. This guy needs to find an editor, tout suite.)

Updated 2/5/2023 v0.22

This game is an example of how to take a simple premise, and make it interesting enough to build a story around it.

The general plot is nothing mind breaking, but it doesn't need to be, it's simplicity allows the story to focus on the character interactions, which are great, the funny parts are funny, the serious parts are done with the seriousness they deserved, definitely an entertaining read

As for the character models I have to praise the dev for creating such a diverse cast, there is something for everyone here, all the girls are attractive in their own way, and written good enough that you enjoy the scenes with them, regardless of the sex.

And speaking of sex, there is plenty already to keep you interested, the scenes are hot thanks to some creative angles, the MC not being a douche is also a bonus here.

Overall a fun game, I definitely recommend this one

Great job MoonBox

Story is very poor. Character depths are very poor. There is also no animation on h scenes. There are too much girls but they have no characters. They are just empty. When the story and characters are very bad. You can't enjoy the sex. If the only thing i want is sex, i would watch porn instead of playing these games. I hope I was able to explain the problem. Sorry about my english.

Review for v0.04.

Clearly has great potential, could possibly become one of the best games on the site if handled correctly.

The only issue I really see at the moment is that the game size is 4.8gb ALREADY, and there is very little sexual content with the "main" girls, which is a shame. I downloaded it expecting a good amount of content due to the file size, and I guess there is, but you just go around sleeping with side characters who are all basically "omg mc ur so hot pls fuck me".

One of my favorites here and have been following for a while now. Figured about time to give a favorable review since I've gotten a decent amount of enjoyment from this. The models may not be everyone's cup o' tea but other than that I'd suggest give it a try.

This game is magnificent, and believe me it has the most diverse set of models in any of the games you will find here, and MoonBox (by using some sort of black magic) made them all incredibly attractive both in the personality and looks. The story is an overdose of wholesomeness that is very well written.

Maybe the only downside is due to the huge set of characters the screen time of every one is not enough, but it's what it is if you want to keep the diversity.

Finally, thank you MoonBox for this beauty.

If you're looking for some wholesome fun for the whole family then Grandma's House is for you.

The story is super simple and I actually appreciate that. MC returns home to live with his Nana and starts to build relationships with all the women around him (or at least the ones you choose. Some girls are required though). So guide MC through these relationships to build your harem.

MoonBox has created the most diverse cast of girls I think I've ever seen in an AVN (at least one grounded in a "real world"). And I love each and every one of them. They're all a joy to interact with and the relationships MC is building with all of them make the game incredibly engaging.

The game is a perfect example of simple concept executed flawlessly.

So if you're looking for a fun slice of life style harem game then you should absolutely give Grandma's House a try. You won't regret it.

Don't forget to apply for a spot in the Betty Brigade once you've finished the game.

Pros
- lots of girls
- most of the girls are attractive
- lots of sex
- decent amount of content

cons
- Story is so boring i didnt finish the game. yes sex is important, but this feels like kinda a slideshow and at that point i would rather just watch porn or something. you can chose who you want to persue but there is little to no build up.
- Renders are passable.
- most of the girls act and speak the same.
- doesnt do much to set itself apart from teh pack.

overall: Good fap game but otherwise drab, forgettable and boring.

I was amazed by how good this game is!!!!
- hot milfs
- hot gilfs
- hot chicks from every corner of the world(forbidden fruit)
-amazing renders
- great story
- cool and kind mc
the only downside to this otherwise perfect game is that there are no animations.

About a third of the way through v0.04 I notice that I'm not hard at all with no idea why. The character models are attractive, there's no glaring errors in the writing, and there aren't really any fetishes I hate at this point. The dev is clearly an ass man while I prefer boobs, but that's definitely not the problem. About 20 minutes of clicking later I finally figure out the problem. This "game" is boring as hell. You meet a woman, decide if you find her attractive, and regardless of your choice she's instantly into you. There are no other choices beyond "do you want to have a sex scene with this character you already said is hot" and all the characters interact in the exact same way with the MC regardless of personal circumstance. Your aunts, the married women, the random barista, and the girl who's been crushing on you for basically her whole life all interact exactly the same with the MC. With no choices on how you interact with them the whole thing winds up so one note that I was bored out of my mind.

There are some good things to this VN. MC is not a perverted asshole and thus breaks the standard mold for harem games. This is very much appreciated. There are a wide variety of women to choose from. And while the bulk of story bored me, people who enjoy it will appreciate the quantity. Even rushing through dialogue after I got bored there was easily an hour or more of content. Some people will greatly enjoy their trip to Grandma's House.

v0.04 reviewed.

This is a fun little title, and I've added it to the list of games on my watchlist. While there is nothing groundbreaking here, the world feels lived-in and I found it easy to follow the chains of events as they generally felt organic and timely to the story.

If the game has a strength, it's in the writing and natural dialogues infused with enough humor to be engaging without bludgeoning the player over the head with it.

For the most part, the girls are interesting and attractive, and the developer has done a good job of creating a wide variety of girls to enjoy besides the titular "Nana."

While a competent effort, this feels like a 3.75 star project in its current state, but rounding up to 4 stars is definitely more fair than rounding down to 3. What holds this title back from being a top shelf title in my opinion is the frequent egregious clipping in the art (Nana's robe and the massage table scene leap to mind) as well as the occasional overt porn logic that leads to some disappointingly unearned sexual encounters.

I'm familiar with the strategy of letting the MC have some side action relatively easily while the main love interests take more effort, but it's difficult to shift from a narrative that takes itself relatively seriously for the first hour to a masseuse all but fucking the MC within 30 seconds of meeting him for the first time without even the pretense of it being a service offering of the parlor.

The addition of sound and maybe a little occasional music would also help push this project over the top.

Those few issues aside, the greatest compliment I can give a game is to say that I'll continue playing it and sponsoring it's creation. I will certainly keep playing, and I'm half-a-star from pledging to support the creator, because it's clear he cares about producing something enjoyable and (strangely) relatable.

I will watch this one with great interest.

**EDIT** I will confess to having written the original view before I had completed all of the content, and I'm revising my thoughts a bit. This is a bit over a 4 star game. It does improve markedly as Moonbox gains confidence in the story and art.

The strengths remain the same: The MC is likeable and even if the story does descend into porn logic frequently, it's no more egregious about it than many better-rated titles out there. I will be sponsoring this dev after the first of the month.
