VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 5 v0.78] [Moonbox]

Bruv this ain't even a fuckfest, this is straight up orgymaxxing Sodom and Homorra style fr. Main character be bussin his elephant-sized lil bro every 5 minutes into different female sex dolls like his life depends on it, which is clearly a reference to fan-favourite "Crank" starring Jason Statham. It just so happens that he is also literally a walking pussy magnet, since him simply being in close proximity with any straight female makes them jump him with unpure intent without a back thought.
Ah, yeah, I think there is even dialogue (probaply), and some narration (also theoretically possible). Never bothered to find out tho, since never let go of skip button. Aintnoway somebody actually reads this.
Pristine gooning material.
Twilight fan-fiction tier read.

Good variety of kinks and different types of ladies, but (and I never thought I'd say that) there is also too much sex involved, mostly because you have like 30 or so different women in the game.
Now it'd probably not be feasible to reduce the amount of sex in a porn game, but it would help a lot if the scenes weren't so damn long all the time.

There's a surprising variety of kinks here, and the updates are frequent and sizable, but...there's also like 30 love interests -- so far? It seems like every single female character with at least one line of dialog eventually gets the opportunity for a good dicking. And I am sad to report that they are generally pretty dull to be around.

And as a rule, they open their legs for the MC without much resistance. So the sex scenes don't have much of a payoff. You just flatter these women until they can't wait to be conquered. Most of them seem to be just waiting around for a big strong male to rescue them. Maybe his absurd donkey dick has something to do with it? In line with this theory, and luckily for us, the few other dudes who show up are written as shitheads, cucks, or both.

There isn't much of a story either. While there are tons of conversations that go on quite a bit, they also don't actually do much to advance a plot or to deepen a relationship. The MC also has no profession and no responsibilities to take up the slack. He mainly just goes around collecting women like Pokemon cards. And they are all fine with being in a modern-day harem of an unemployed guy who lives with his grandmother and doesn't even leave the house most of the time. The pussy magnetism on display here strains credulity again and again, even by AVN standards. And the game doesn't quite have the charm to compensate. I feel like it's been spinning its wheels for quite some time.

I usually leave just positive reviews, but for the very popular games I'm going to make exceptions.
Grandma's House is great example of the game that might work for you if you have the same kinks as a creator (in case of this game harem of mostly big old ugly females of various ethnics) - there's a lid for every pot - but otherwise it's just poor. The very basics of visual storytelling which you might even not have to learn, but can be easily figured out, are ignored (eg. "You left the room" - Surprise surprise: I can see that staring at the picture of the staircase!), both dialogs and monologues are absolutely mundane, situations (hard for me to call t story) are not interesting, choices are alternating between obvious and facepalm inducing.
TL;DR It's just dumb.
Even for the porn game. At most average visuals cannot compensate that and besides sheer numbers of LIs (found few kinda attractive ones), there isn't anything exceptional or at least very good here.
This opinion is based on part 1 of the game that got boring to even skip through, so if there is sudden quality jump later on, I'll be glad to give it 3rd chance.

I like the game overall. It's right up my alley of genres I like. I like the models, especially the older/mature ones, THE MILFs. I feel like there is a tinge of comedy in some of the lines/content, in my opinion and I find them entertaining. Keep up the good work and I'll be waiting for your updates.

It is a fun game with many Love Interests, all of whom the main character corrupts or seduces.
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.

Overrated but not awful

This game as you can see from a lot of the reviews is very marmite... ppl either tend to 5 star or 1 star it. I sit somewhere in the middle.

Doesnt get a 5 star from me as a star is taken away straight away for the game not having any animations.

2nd star taken away as there is too many LIs in here, which means the "screen time" feels rushed with a lot of them. A fair few of the characters are also just plainly not interesting.

Lets move onto the positives tho....

* Renders are lovely.
* Multiple different body types to suit varied tastes.
--My personal fave characters are Amelia and Polly.
* Fair few fetishes explored.

Negatives:

* No animations
* Another horse cocked MC - why?
* Bloated text, you find yourself skipping a lot of dialog.
* Some uninteresting characters.
-- Particularly disliked the dom cop (i rejected that character immediately)
-- Jamila character is annoying and boring
-- The french woman who cucks her husband... no idea what the need for that character is.
-- The teacher minnie is annoying

OVERALL
I am perservering with it even tho i do skip a lot of dialog, and the dev does push regular updates, there is a LOT of content.

It isnt the worst game on this site by any stretch, but it also does not deserve the amount of 5 star ratings it has on here either.

i tried to play this game 3 times, and still can't even make it thru part 1.

Seriously, the story is not there, there just some dialogs that has no seance, MC gets most of the girls jumping on him like he is a walking aphrodisiac with dick, there no explanation on girls behavior, feels like if you tell a girl anything nice, 5 minutes later she already sucks you off, even that it's a first time they've met.

half of the women models are practically UGLY, i mean might be we all have different beauty standards but really, look at those women, it's like a horror thriller.

the MC dicks in later AVN games beat records over and over, but be at least a beat realistic, you cannot take virginity of young asian girl with this dick, it'll send her in hospital, but since creator most likely never had experience, we can't really blame this stupidity on anyone except google.

Overall this is a sex slideshow with some text that has nothing inside, might be it gets better later but i just can't go thru this.

overall, really sad experience.

Definitely one of the greats! Wide variety of ladies, and a lot of great story! The romance is really sweet and it's absolutely a feel-good game to play. Highly Recommend! Keep it up!

[Liz is peak, but it is such a close contest.]

P.S. Not a big deal, but can we get Sophia's hair color changed back to closer to her mom's? (Unless this already happened and I haven't played it yet.) Sophia and her mom were, I think, the only ones with that particular shade, and I really liked it. If not, she still looks great, so no worries!

(Review of Part 5, v0.75)

By now sex itself is pretty much irrelevant as it happens most of the time anyway and now involves multiple partners more often than not. I'd say it's the writing alone that keeps the interest as the humour and the relationships still make the story funny to read, but really, by now the game could be declared finished and nobody could complain as every update is just more of the same. In fact it could be a good idea to do so but I can see why Moonbox would rather keep adding more and more scenes instead of creating something new.

(Review of Part 4, v0.65 follows)

Grandma's House is the typical harem game with thousands of women falling for you as soon as they see you and an MC with a horse sized cock. It's mostly a kinetic novella with plenty of beautiful girls in all shapes, races and ages. By now Nana has become an icon as far as harem games are concerned but finally you can spend a whole night making love to her in 0.65.

There's plenty of joking around and large amounts of hugs. While renders are decent, animations are non existant but then this was always about humour and seduction rather than first class fap material. There are plenty of love stories here, though the one with Nana tops them all. I'd say she's the top #1 tease on the AVN scene but also one of the hottest and most desirable mature women ever in an adult game; she's a classy woman who deserves to be treated right and Moonbox delivers with some memorable scenes.

Edit: Rounding up from 4 to 5 stars for the 0.65 update.

Edit 2: Rounding down again to 4/5 because Moonbox can't be bothered to fix the game to load previous saves properly for 0.70. Undoing, apparently this was my fault.

First of all, the game isn't very exciting. The writing really isn't good. And the fact that most of the characters are pretty much forced on you, is a significant negative. All of the above make this a skip fest. The frequent updates can be thought of as a positive, though.

the games just overall boring and focuses on quantity over quality. this is one of those VN's that would greatly benefit from having a sandbox so that you can focus on the characters u care about rather than the countless bland ones that just get thrown at you

Played 'til v0.53 .. and thats it for me!

A really annoying linear story ... too many times forced into relations I'm REALLY not into ... no animations ... too many and most boring dialogues ... Sex scenes are nearly always the same ...

The only interesting thing for me would be whether and how the MC gets together with Amelia.
But unfortunately the rest of the game is so bad that I won't bother with it anymore...

I've been playing the game for the last few days and have had a great time. The completely crazy story about a guy who wants to flood an entire city with babies and many ladies of all ages who willingly assist him is so over the top that the humour is not neglected. Nevertheless, more serious topics are also addressed, but without the finger-wagging, which I really like.

There is also a bug in part 2, where the night with Mila is wrong when it first appears. It is only at the point of the second appearance that she is correct in the story. But I can get over that.

I've also liked the fact that some characters are going through developments and I'm more excited about Amy opening up than Nana.

Many of the character models in this game are also some of the prettiest I've seen in a game of this type.

So I give it 5 out of 5 bananas and look forward to the next update

This game is the perfect definition of blue-balls, teasing without any or little reward,

the game cover itself or the game art, everything is done to catch your attention, you see a beautiful LI that interests you (even though they barely have a complex personality) you find them attractive and wait for the moment to be with them, but after hours of gameplay or even an entire chapter, the player only spent a single scene with their favorite girl while the game kept pushing a bunch of milfs or older women, which in my case I don't find attractive.

With each li that I refuse, the game presents me with more, while I would be satisfied with a few that were shown at the beginning, if only the dev had built a deep personality for each li, with a deep story, with real relationships, with a story giving real reasons for each li to be interested in the mc.
But for me this game is nothing more than a provocation without reward, where the dev keeps throwing LI in the player's face until at least 1 gets his attention.

The graphics are good, the rendering is good, the girls are hot... but the player can't enjoy any of that…

MC's dick is bigger than a horse's, and grandma is sending MC to the doctor because of the color of MC's dick, how embarrassing to watch this

Instead of enjoying a pleasant story, I'm going through embarrassing moments or senseless provocations or rejecting LI that I'm not interested

The MC is too proper for my taste, whenever one of the family members comes on to him he already thinks "shit" and makes up some excuse to avoid the +18 scene with her.

and there are hours of uninteresting dialogue with grandma.
If you're going to play 4 chapters of something just for the graphics, there are more rewarding things out there.

Love this game, grand little story. Great sidestories, and love the insane amount of jokes. Would love to see the mc as a tow truck driver with his shop or getting one of the ladies to drive it. Lots of interesting opportunities there, just saying. Really solid 3dcgs, cant compliment the author more. Great overall everything and fairly simple interface. No complaints whatsoever just excited to see where the story goes.

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.
