VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 5 v0.74] [Moonbox]

This game is a diamond in the rough. A large cast of love interests, witty humor and absurdly comedic sex scenes was precisely what we needed to get through this harsh start of a decade... lots of OSHA violtions, super sperm fertilizing anything, Shizuka's hunger for burgers etc... I could talk for hours abot how great the game is...

the art is awesome: there might be clipping but normal people don;t give a fuck about that.

the update speed is frightening fast.

unfortunately it has also flaws: while the dev wants to make sure players don't stumble into unwanted content, having to pick " I want to fuck her" when it comes to Riona, feels redundant, her portions of the game could be a kinetic novel since I can't think of anyone that would turn her down.
another flaw of the game is that we're on update 16 and we still are awaiting for Melissa's return in glory.

Amazing girls and the sex scenes are gorgeous. The story is well told and the bond between the MC and the other characters is well done. There is some choices that can influence some stuff but many of them are Yes/No choices. There are a lot of fetishes is this game. This game is crazy and you should play it.

And I fall into the trap again because this game has almost 5 stars, it starts well but hits a brutal downturn. a lot of hugs, I love you, darling, my baby, I can't take it anymore, the truth is xd I don't even read the texts anymore, it just happened xd you know you love your family because you repeat it a thousand times) = the best part of what I've been playing is with Karen in the bathroom.

Man this game is awesome
After playing it, I have to say it's one of the best games around.
The girls in this game are hot and there is enough for everyone
Renders of this game are good and the Story as well it's a bit goofy but I love goofy.
Harem game where the mc is a sweet badass (the way it should be in my book).

I'd like to start out by saying that I have played all updates until about middle of the latest update. That's when I noticed I just kept skipping tons of dialogue because it all felt samey and I basically knew what they were going to say. So I tried the game very early on and loved it then. However I soon warned the dev from falling into the trap that I see many devs fall into (according to me anyway). That traps is women overload. There's too many women in this game.

Some may ask, why is that an issue? Well it means that you never get to see any characters properly develop and leaves 0 room for a story. So that should tell you what kind of game this is and it basically boils down to this: MC who is 20-ish (I still maintain he looks nothing like any 20-year old I've ever seen) and who basically fucks anything with boobs.

I mean that could be fun but the thing is that it kinda just happens and the choices you are offered is basically "Do you wanna fuck this chick? Yes or no" and "Do you wanna do this kink or not?". There's basically no other choices and you're never presented with a story that you feel has any sort of weight. This is mostly because without any effort MC gets to fuck anything he wants. Aunt, childhood friend, childhood friends mom, midgets, grandmas friend, grand mas friends sister the list goes on and on. No character shows any form of jealousy or any meaningful resistance to it. Yes the game is what others may call a "feel good game" but shit eventually that gets boring.

MC is just so charming that everyone goes polyamorous but only MC gets to fuck around. He's just such a catch, he's got enough love to give for everyone. When it comes to the characters themselves I feel like they all have one personality trait. Examples are: Loving grandma, martial arts instructor, cute little girl, cute little asian etc etc. If they are young looking then they will all act like naive little dumbasses.

The reason I give this game a 3 (I was considering a 2) is because the majority of the girls look good. It had a pretty cool and simple start (but got bloated) and the render quality is good. Although animations are lacking. Maybe the game just isn't for me.

In summary: If you're looking for pictures of 3D models having basic dialogue then play it. But I kinda wonder why you don't just watch any random porno with a plot. It has real girl who move and hopefully look sexy as fuck and probably has about the same depth of story as this game.

v0.15 -
If you're looking for an engrossing story... look elsewhere. I really enjoy this game, but it's as simple as it gets. Male MC with megadong meets women and every one of them (just about) wants to screw him for no reason.

In the early days I was getting discouraged at the number of butt ugly characters, but it got much better. Still a shame that so many of them have mega butts, but whatever The redheads, aunts, and some side chicks are awesome. and while the story is basic, most of the interactions from the MC are just plain fun.

Pros:

• Lots of different women.
• Generally fun/funny.
• No Sandbox mode or petty job/lifestyle management

Cons:

• No animations. All scenes are single frame slideshow.
• No real goal to the story, other than having sex with everything female that moves.
• Some truly butt ugly/misshapen characters, but you can choose not to do the nasty with them.
• Seriously Dev?! You made Adele look ugly/butch? So wrong

I've played quite a few games, but I honestly love this one. I don't like every character model, but the variation of models is sure to have something for everyone (some of the models are just so darn cute). Some of the writing isn't the best and a few parts have bored me some, but the humor definitely make up for it IMO. I don't mind that there are no animations, the pictures suffice for me.

The one con I have for this game is there is no music, which surprised me. Otherwise, absolutely love it and can't wait for more

One of the best Porn games on this site.
Not because of the story or because of its characters it understands what it is and what the medium is here for and knocks it outta the park this game is a porn game and doesn't try to be these stories that story so hard and be these deep or emotional stories that fail because the writer is not good enough so we cringe but gets positive reviews because it's a slow burn game but has barely any content since it's release back 4 years ago.

First Moonbox deserves flowers because watching this game since its release and they have a consistent update cycle damn near every 2 weeks to a month you're getting new content and a good number of scenes in said content most now really kinky content. I can't tell how many games on this site barely update within a year.

Second, the sex scenes are hot yes the body proportions are unreal of course the plot leading up to is ridiculous sure but it all serves a point not to take anything that serious it's a porn game, and making sex scenes shoot better whether you like it or not the exaggerated bodies work because it's not trying to be realistic it is trying to be hot and it works. Not every game needs to be a real game that beats you over the head with realism that is not even realism but a person shelter living on social media or Reddit or Youtube realism.

All this just to me makes this one of the best porn games and seriously this game needs to be an example for a lot of games about consistent updates and just make something people can fap and make sure sex scenes are actually hot.

I have played a lot of porn games but Moonbox in my eyes is a top 3 developer alone on this site and deserves so much more credit and flowers for their work and graphics improving while delivering content in an insane time frame. Go support their Patreon if you can they truly deserve it.

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.
