VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 6 v0.82] [Moonbox]

I searched the thread for questions about animations, and many people said that the lack of animations did not affect the game experience. So I decided to play to see, the result makes me regret very much, because the story is very boring.

Many choices are very boring, no character development, just call them hot/beautiful/cute, you will automatically go on their route.

After seeing MC, many girls immediately have a crush on him and are eager to jump on his dick.

And there are a bunch of girls in the game, but because of the developer's technical problems, all of them don't have pubic hair. Wow what a great diversity haha.

One more star for your frequent updates, but frequent updates don't mean the game is good, there are too many better games than this.

If someday this game is completed with the currently quality it will be the best vanilla harem game of this site

PROS
-The MC is not a pussy good boy or a creepy perv or an asshole (those three are the mcs in all ero games)
He is a Normal and charismatic guy

- Variety of characters all type of beautiful girls

- The inc*st is not forced like many games it is step by step and have logic cause the relationhips between cous*ns are the most common (in japan is legal) and the relationships with a*nts are the second most common
If the sist*r appears in the future the relationship will not be forced because the distance and time has broken the F*mily strings, the relationship with nana will be the most difficult but the author is aware of this and he goes slowly step by step, and little scenes building the relationship

- Very Good renders

- Beautiful Vanilla Story

- Constantly and regular big updates (1 year and the game had more content than some completed games)

CONS
None
(Animations are not needed because the sex scenes contains good renders and hot dialogues, id prefer the animations added after the game is completed only if the author want)

If you Have money Support the author, He deserves that and much more

I've played the game for several hours but have to admit it's not for me.

Pro's
- lots of different girls
- kinks for each and every1

Con's
- unrealistic proportions of some of the girls
- story didn't grip me
- glitches

This is a personal opninion, for sure other people can find the game more interesting

Okay so I stepped out of my usual futa/ntr comfort zone and played this game which as of writing has neither of those genres and from only a few minutes in I think I can safely deduce that Moonbox really likes his girls to have a LOT of junk in the trunk, very clearly an ass man as the girls in this make Kim Kardashian look flat. The girls vary too from petite to muscle girl to potential NASA 10th planet, white girls, black girls, latina girls, rich girls, poor girls, hillbilly on a car bonnet girls, geek girls you save from bullying girls and more!

They have a bit of variation in their personalities too which is nice. The only downside I see to this is the lack of animation, but that's not too bad a thing, perhaps making two images loop at minimum? Could be a potential idea and if the dev wants the renpy code to do that feel free to let me know.

Now...back to my futa/ntr games...

Story dragged out all to hell with addition of nonsensical and ugly af looking characters. MC is a mega white knight and frankly the ultra sweet rapport he frequently has with the Title character, Nana is sickening

Graphics - Poor
Story - Rather read an instruction manual
Animations - What Animations???
Sex scenes - MC dick is probably the least head scratching thing in this goddamn fantasy

TL;DR
I don't recommend

One of my favorite games. A harem game with all kinds of different girls for a wide range of interests. All the girls routes are optional. The story and interactions are well written and wholesome. Absolutely love it.

This is a basic VN with static images, no animations and no choices beyond pursuing characters and fetishes. The game started out strong despite the basic graphics but the devs have decided to drag the story on with repetitive dialogue and new side characters. As of the v0.13 update, the game has become a bore.

Was really not expecting to laugh as much as I did, but it was a very welcome surprise! The humor in this game alone makes it worth it, and definitely among one of the best ones I've played. Keep up the excellent work, and can't wait until further updates!

Still to this day this game is in my top 5 for VN game. I like that char story lines and the graphic are great too so im glad this is getting updates so thankyou very much for it. And i hope you keep on making this game until it is done.

Can't wait until next update, love me some Nana. Very wholesome story lots of wonderfull and loveble characters. Hope the story keeps it heavy with the suspence on when Nana time is going to happen. The buildup is wonderful. Keep up the great work Dev!

v0.13 Ipatch enabled, URM mod used to track variables but no cheat needed

Romance! Cuddling! Hot Milfs, Gilfs, and Teens. Wholesome sex both within and without the family. What more could you want in a mellow Slice of Life ?

The Good:
*Stunningly attractive models that cover a wide range of ages, ethnicities, and body types. High quality renders.
*Furniture destroying sex.
*An MC who is not a jerk or a sociopath, but simply someone who genuinely loves the women he comes in contact with and who is interested in them as persons, not just bedpost notches.
*A wide range of kinks, most of which are optional. (Don't like BBW or Gilfs? You can choose not to go down that path, but you'll be missing a treat.)
*Romance done right. Most of the women will not immediately hop into bed with you. You'll go on dates, have conversations, and get to know their back stories. This is particularly true of your family members.
*No grind.
*Fiona and her family of Irish redheads.
*Nana, Amy, Christine, Cat, and "Mom".
*Nana. Nana. Nana. Best grandma ever!

YMMV:
*A really slow burn for some of the family members. I don't mind this because I think it should take time to turn familial into erotic love, or to overcome societal taboos.
*A VN rather than a sandbox. Your choices will largely determine if the MC pursues a love interest or a particular kink, but to date don't seem to make major changes in story arcs.
*A horse hung MC. At one point an LI mistakenly thinks she is stroking the MC"s wrist. rather than his dick, and is both awed and dismayed when she finds out the truth. This has an impact on the type and pacing of sexual scenes, as it may take several sessions before the LI can accommodate length and girth.
*Netori. Several of the LI's are in abusive or sexless marriages and their husbands are about to wear horns.
*Reuse of scenes for transition. Rather than a skip time button, we get a reused watching tv alone screen or waking up in bed screen. I don't mind this because I know it shortens the time for new episodes.
*Pregnancy and pregnant sex. Difficult to believe, but some people may be turned off by sex with a partner who is both voluptuous and lactating while carrying your child.

The Bad:

*Not much. If you don't like conversation and romance you'll be using the skip button a lot. Limited animations.

Comment:
This is really a wish fulfillment fantasy for those of us who are poly. No deception, mind control, or magic. LI's who join the harem do so willingly in the full knowledge that the MC is not a one woman man, but does insist on absolute loyalty within the growing family.

Review for 0.13, subject to change in future updates.

I was gonna give Grandma's House a 2/5 score but decided eventually to give it a 3/5. It's a standard harem AVN but sadly loses its charm as the story goes on.

Pros:
+ most of the character models are fine
+ The addition of Molly the cutest dog (which is probably the reason why I decide to give the game one more star in the first place)
+ The cuteness overload of Shizuka

Cons:
- It has no PLOT. Grandma's House is specified as a Visual Novel but the story itself is pretty much negligible.
- Most of the dialogues are pretty mediocre. You have to constantly skip otherwise you will be bored to death.
- It falls into the same trope of adding more and more characters that only fulfill their usage of lewd scenes instead of actual relationship development.
- The way you enter a specific route is just ridiculous. No character development, just calling them cute/beautiful/hot and you are automatically step into the abyss.
- Oh God. The usual manwhore character of MC who gets every girl's affection instantly without any problem.
- The progression of MC's relationship with his grandma is repetitive and grindingly boring.

Overall, I only deem Grandma's House as a fap material because of its multifaceted weakness that prevents itself from becoming a better game. If you are a harem lover who loves story progression, this game will not be the one for you.

If you are looking for a wholesome romance style harem game, then you are definitely in the right place

The girls are all unique in both their looks and personalities and the story is only getting better with every update.

Would definitely recommend giving Grandma's House a playthrough. There are already hours worth of fantastic content to enjoy with a steady stream of new updates.

Pretty nice VN.

The renders are acceptable.

Sex scenes are pretty good.

There are plenty of fetishes and theyre avoidable so thats awesome.

If there's any real issue that I have with this VN then its the inane conversations that almost bore me to death.

One of the best slow burns I have had the pleasure of experiencing. The relationships are built on trust and create a sense of belonging for each character and their role in the story. Looking forward to more updates encourage supporting MoonBox endeavors

On the plus side there are a lot of women to romance and you can choose if you want to be with them or not. The game is pretty long, but this also means there is a lot of boring text to click through. Story/concept is just the usual, nothing original. Most of the women are not overly attractive, renders are average. Nothing really exciting here.

Love the game and the characters. Even the more "wholesome" relationships enjoyable to be a part of but I am hopeful that these will turn into something more... sexual later in the story. Don't want it to end and cannot wait for more!

...sooo...
this story is quite the excellent one to play:
it's fun to read (had a ton of laughs on it) and the scenes are to play either.
The english is (for my opinion / capables [english is not my native language, ' cause I'm from germany]) very well written and enjoyable too.
The renders are as awsome as the mimic as well - very good looking at it!
The MC - last but not least - is a good model and not the douchebag with small / thin dick as many other there is in games - and no: I'm not gay, but this an aspect - at least for me - that counts a lot for me.
To sum it up:
this game has ALL it needs to have for playing with fun and NO boriness!
I'm on v0.12 right now and excited for more to come (hopefully more of anal-scenes; but I'm not complaining) - thanks to the dev/s for this good (understatement) game!

best regards

A quick way to summarize the game. 50% talking 30% teasing and 20% sex scenes. The character storyline is a cliché harem game with the MC having each person fall in love with him instantly. With most harem games there's a good balance of at least some resemblance of storyline development. The game started out in the beginning as a good fap material with good renders, and lots of sex scenes.

This is to be expected with so many characters in harem games less time is able to be spent on character development of these characters. However, i've noticed that one of the biggest downsides of this game is the DEV keeps introducing more and more characters each update without taking the time to really develop the storylines of the previous ones first.

This results in a bleak constant cycle of new characters and excessive amounts of random conversations and situations, that leads absolutely nowhere concerning plot development. This is normally balanced out with tons of sex scenes, but that is not the case. With each new update I have noticed there is less and less actual sex scenes and more and more teasing. You may not notice this at first, but with how many new people are introduced you would meet you would expect to have more actual sex scene content.

Nope. Constant bait and switch. This is happening more and more. If you're going to sacrifice storyline and character development to introduce as many women as possible you'll need more actual content to keep people interested in the game. Each update recently is just lots of talking. Oh you think there's a sex scene? Nope. Just cuddling with maybe taking out the MC's dick to look at and then skipping to next scene of more pointless talking, and another character the MC won't have sex with.

The formula now is just:
A. Excessive talking with little to no contribution to plot development
B. Try to distract players from this by introducing more and more characters
C. Bait players into thinking MC will have sex with characters by putting him in situations you would logically assume before pulling out the rug and returning to more talking.
D. Repeat A. through C. each update

The juice is not worth the squeeze and for how large the game is file size you would expect more content. This game is no longer even worth a quick fap. You will spend most of your time reading dry conversations with little to no plot development before getting a situation you think will be an actual sex scene after 10 minutes of just reading talking. When you get to a scene the MC will just be teased (No sex) but you think they will before returning to more talking. Each update is becoming more and more lazy with less and less content and more and more text. DEV is milking this game.

Did I just play my favorite game yet? I probably did. Here's why. (V 0.11)

Story:
As the author describes it, it's a classic homecoming story. The MC tries to restore his family ties, while meeting hot girls along the way. Although that synopsis doesn't promise much, the author manages to deliver a rich and engaging story for each of the MC's love affairs, which are optional. There are a variety of lifestyles for the characters, and each story unfolds differently from the others; from casual encounters to step by step grinding. Surprising kinks are revealed along the way, and I think there's something for everyone. If anything falls short, it is the incredible luck of the MC. I'd like to see less complacency, a little more unfortunate consequences, and a nemesis or two to add realism to the story. Sometimes it feels like the MC lives in a fantasy where nothing is going to go wrong. In short, I appreciate the author's work in adding so much content for each character. The choice elements of the game are numerous but quite simple.

Characters:
This novel has as its main focus maternal relationships. However, there is room for other kinds of corruption and even master-slave relationships. What stands out most about this game is that it has dozens of characters, but even so the variety continues to surprise as you progress. It has everything from barely legal to grannies, from skinny instructors to BBWs, different races, personalities, proportions, backgrounds... I could go on and on. I fell in love with most girls, some were nice and some were absolutely gorgeous. There was only one character I found rather ugly, but that's personal preference. The "acting" of the models is believable between gestures and poses. There is no way to get bored with so much variety.

Technical:
Although it has no animations or sound, the game surprises with the massive number of renders. As usual, these start out okay in the early stages, but improve substantially with each installment. The hot scenes in particular feature a large number of cutscenes and renders, so I think there was no need to add animations, and that would probably have slowed down the progress of the deliveries.

All in all, this is a landmark game by any standard. Congrats to the creator(s) and I can't wait to see how it will unfold.
