VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 5 v0.71] [Moonbox]

It is a fun game with many Love Interests, all of whom the main character corrupts or seduces. The art is decent, and the characters are decent. However, there are two things that this game did not do well: The main LI (in the name of the game) and the story. Unfortunately, there is too much teasing around "Nana" instead of real results. The story is all over the place by now. I have followed the game since the beginning, and I cannot tell you 90% of what happened. It's all sort of "seduce LI, save LI from a situation (sometimes), fuck LI". I don't mean to break it down to that in a malicious way, but that's all there really is in terms of content. With 100 LI's, it gets boring after a while.

It is still a good game for a quick rub, but if you're looking for a good piece of content story-wise, you won't get it here, and if you're looking to fuck Nana, you won't get it for a while (if ever). At this point I think there is a greater chance of the dev dropping the game than Nana getting a real scene.

"Why 3 stars if you don't like the story and blueballing?" It is still a good game compared to many here so an average rating is deserved.

A lighthearted VN with *tons* of LI's.
Lot's of fetishes can be explored, which is why we're here.
The renders are decent, the story telling can be a bit repetitive at times, and the story doesn't have a lot of depth, but that can be expected from a harem-building game.
Overall an entertaining experience. 4 stars from me.

It's very linear. No real choices except do I fuck her or not?
If it were well written, the problem wouldn't arise, but the writing is clichéd and disastrous.
If it were beautiful, it would make up for the writing a bit, but the graphics are just okay and there's no animation, so not okay.
I'd say that the only positive point is probably that the girls are quite different physically from each other, so there's something for everyone.

What's your favorite sitcom? The show you come back to week after week not because of the intricate, lore-heavy story, but because you just like to check in on the characters to see what kind of wacky shenanigans they're getting up to this time?

I ask this to help understand why I, personally enjoy this game and to help set expectations about what to expect when you boot it up. This game is, first and foremost, a slice of life. About a guy who came home from college to reconnect with his family and begin building his adult life. That's it. That's the setup. Through this lens, MoonBox has setup a story that's not so much about what "What happens next?" in the overarching narrative, but about exploring the larger cast surround the MC, and all the fun hijinks that ensue.

Do you want to play a game where the mother of the MC's first child is actively playing wingman for him with a nurse at the hospital while she's in labor? Do you want to play a game where the MC goes abroad one update, leading to a nun starting a cult revolving around his penis? Do you want a game where the MC's kicked a guy out of his own home, chains him up in the backyard, and makes him watch as he bangs the man's wife on the hood of a truck?

I say all this to say, all of these absurd, surreal, and hilarious scenarios, along with dozens of others I haven't even mentioned, are what keep me coming back every two weeks for the newest updates. This game, to me, is a cozy sitcom. I'm not coming back because I absolutely need to know how that new characters backstory will forever impact the life of the MC, but because I just can't wait to see what mischief these people get themselves into. And I've yet to play an update that doesn't deliver.

ETA: And as a sort of counter to all these lovely individuals leaving one star reviews because of "blue balling", I'd also like to point out that there are literally dozens of LI's in this game, and at this point I think all but 2 of them have full on sex scenes.

There is a lot of sex scenes and it occurs with a lot of women so I guess that is a good thing in that sense. But, it just feels so boring and lifeless so it essentially delves into a skipfest, skimming through the renders. Some music or animations could definitely help this VN.

I am genuinely surprised at how popular this story is. It is all over the place with a barely strung together plot and too many forgettable characters to count! I value reading in my AVN's above everything and this was an awful read. The only reason I could see people enjoying this is for a quick fap at the very good amount of sex scenes. I challenge readers to look at the cover art of this story and tell me even half of the characters names and plot threads.

Gave this game a shot after seeing all the reviews and people talking in the thread. Going to be very honest, this is basically just a cg collection with the need to spam a button to continue flowing through the gallery. Extremely disappointed in this and honestly wouldn't recommend it for anyone outside of people who are trying to just jack off to generic CG. I really wish there was more here but it is just so bland and empty, it feels soulless. No hate towards the dev but this is not my thing and I hope others can get some enjoyment where I didn't.

Is the game good? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes.

This is Western nukige - a jerk off game - done right. No bullshit sandbox "gameplay", just a linear game where every choice you make is for the fetishes and girls that are included in your wild ride to being the next Genghis Khan.

I'll start this off with: if you're looking for a compelling story with a plot and characters that have character development, you're in the wrong place.

You play through the eyes of a big-dicked MC returning home from college with a rich family that loves you. That's already 3 points in the graph that should show you there will never be any major conflict or drama to disrupt your hunt for the next mother of your child.

The game does start off slow-ish compared to the pace it gets starting on Part 2 and that's not bad thing. The purpose of Part 1 is to establish the main cast of characters and while it may seem like some characters are not getting some time under the limelight, I doubt that they're really thrown off to the wayside either because I can attest to one woman that has escaped my mind entirely until she was brought back on Part 4 for some dicking.

With girls popping out left, right and center, there's no shortage of girls that any player would not end up liking which is another positive for a nukige.

The visuals are also very well done, these are really good sex scenes and that's really what's most important. Definitely a 5 star.

My message to MoonBox: Keep it up, I'm loving everything so far! If you're willing to hear a suggestion, mine is to find a better way to make the dialogue much more graphic and obscene. It's at a good place right now but if you read some Japanese nukiges, it could be even hotter and exciting.

I played 2-3 hours of part 1, and so fare loving it, the story is very light-hearted, but at the same time hits some sad things, and has a decent humor to it.


The story might not be the most deep-felt story, but to be honest I don't care, sometimes this stile is a good break as well, so yea love it.

I tried to play this multiple times, but I can't finish it. It's just... bad. The renders are lifeless and low quality, there are no animations. The writing is childish at best, there's no real story, just an endless stream of badly rendered women you can fuck. The MC stumbles from one absurd situation to the next. There's no sense of progression, no depth. It just goes on and on and on.

Story is all over the place and by that I mean there is no plot at all. Girls who are established early in the game are getting ditched for no reason. MC is a godlike gigachad who can fuck any girl he wants and there is no progress at all. It's just non animated sex scene after another. No sound, no music nothing. Dialogue is terrible and you always feel like listening to braindamaged minors.
Better skip until it's finished and then skip through the game cause the models are kinda nice to look at but that is all there is.

Given the game's overview, I didn't expect much. Yet after trying it, it quickly became one of my favorite (VN) games. To quote the dev, it's perversely wholesome. A lot of different fetishes, a lot of different girls and personalities. Characters have depth to them. There's something for (almost) everyone.

Its been ages since I played this one and it still more of the same, . Theres no plot basically, so you just see MC non stop fucking character A, then B then C, etc,etc.
That would make for a good/decent game if the sex scenes themselves were something great or extremely high quality in both looks and writing, but they aren't, they are awfully mediocre and dont even have any animations that would certainly help.
There's also the fact of the recurring joke of "no sex with nana" that was funny for a while, but just like every single thing that gest done way too much, it gets old and very VERY annoying, to the point I was just hoping that grandma doesnt show up with her shit teasing for the 100th time. And that's really bad in a game called "grandma's house", the build up was good 10+ updates ago, now I dont care, I actually want her to go away, cause even if the sex happens it will be disappointing as fuck.
In the end I couldn't even finish it, it just got boring and annoying. Writing and dialogs certainly dont help much either, but this trend of keeping hostage the most desired LI in a game, needs to die and needs to die ASAP.
I'll give it a 2 because theres a lot of content, the LI are attractive and if you just want to jack off to pictures, this will do. But if you are looking for a story, interesting characters, progress, or high quality in general, then this isnt it.

review on Part4 v0.58 (which had been given 3 stars)

re-review on Part 4 v0.59:

Nothing changed - still getting more and more boring and worse -> removed 1 star from previous review

Well - what should i say?

What started to be a potential 5 star game, turns out to be worse and worse.
I hesitated for a long time (several updates for now) to write my review, as i really WANTED this game to be as good as it could be.
But with each update i am more and more disappointed. All scenes are getting boring and absolutely repetitive. Nothing really new happened.
Still "No Sex with NANA yet", still no animations.
And after you fucked all women in several positions over and over again, and after you slept for the (felt) 1000th time with the same 2 women in your arms, it's just getting more and more boring. Even the postures and gestures are over and over the same (it feels like the dev re-uses old material again and again). It also doesn't help that some woman still look as if an android is standing in front of MC.
Instead of a great start, with improvement from update to update, it's more like it had a great start, but getting boring and worse over time.
This new update for example could be told in 1 minute:
Some flavor sidestory (carnival), 1Blowjob with Jamila (AGAIN-like in several updates before - same renders, same facials - like a 1:1 copy paste), 1 really short Spanking scene and a 5 seconds sex scene (Jamila AGAIN).
This game should end now if there's no "fresh movement" coming up.
I really don't want this game to make me feel like playing a milking machine.
So - sorry for that - but judging on an objective view on it, it's only a 3 star game right now - with tendencies to drop even down to 2 stars within the next updates.

Still i hope that it's not too late to turn the ship and get it back to more glorious days as it was once upon a time, instead of slowly joining all other of those games which started out great, but later went out of ideas and content and only for the purpose to get money there were more and more crap updates made.

The game has actually some part of "deepness", you can laugh playing it, you can cry playing it, and you actually "connect" to depicted characters. One of the best f95 game I ever played in terms of lore/history design

Great variation in women and kinks. Animation adds a lot of quality overall.

Thew story Just becomes kind of repetative twoards the latest few updates in my opnion. Character building moves at a great pace until you get at a peak with a select few characters and then the progress leans to heavly into them only. With the amount of women seeing some more variation with notable story would bring this back around to how strongly I think it began for this kind of game.

Ill Keep it short

Pros:
Its a fun game to play, dont take it seriously its a satirical AVN after all many scenes will make you laugh.

Good length so far and were getting a lot more apparently.

Creator joins in here on the thread having fun.


Cons:

No animated scenes which is a shame.

A little bit too heavy on the repeated soppy side eg repeated lines of "love you (family member) " "love you back( nephew/cousin)" *kissey face.

I'm labeling this "the best story I've found" in literally probably over 200 stories that I've read since I started on AVN's. It's a wonderfully happy story with a wholesome feel. Very easy to fall in love with all the characters especially the "dangerously cute" Shizuka. The story is longer than most and impressively well written, the "spicy bits" are around every corner, are wildly enjoyable and they don't end in just four frames or five lines of text. It has all the story tags I look for and none of the ones I don't. This Dev knows how to create a harem story and for this one in particular, I hope it continues for a long time. And then when this one ends, I very much look forward to their future works. I just hope they keep these same tags. Great story! Thank you for sharing it and for all your hard work.

I find the game pretty good. Its a sex game, that delivers on sex. What dialogue is there, is pretty light and definitely has some humor. I crack up at the shit that goes on in the background half the time.

This game has a fairly obvious problem. Even though this is AVN and porn, the stories and scenarios are nonsensical; I do not expect Shakespeare, but I do expect the story to flow and make some sort of sense.

Additionally, there are not really any options besides sleeping or not with a character. You fap to this game like you would eat greasy fast food, it tastes good at the time but you hate yourself afterwards and realize there are much better options.

I gave it an extra star for the renders which are good when I say good I mean just good you will find much better renders elsewhere but it also grades above average considering the average F95 game the writing drops the overall rating to average though. Some of the women are not attractive but since all of them throw themselves at you none are really memorable to begin with. You quickly just forget them and move on to the next one. The animations are awful where they exist.

Overall I can't recommend this game. It really isn't worth following. I'd recommend just playing the final release or checking when you get through your backlog of games.
