VN - Ren'Py - Grandma's House [Part 6 v0.90] [Moonbox]

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.

re-review on Part 6 v.0.82:
Finally down to 1 star, as still after several updates nothing really changed - other than being more and more boring.
I regret to have given the last chance, which has been a wasted time. No more re-reviews will be done.

#####

re-review on Part 4 v0.59: (had been 2 stars):
Nothing changed - still getting more and more boring and worse -> removed 1 star from previous review

#####

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

Reliable to fap to. Knows exactly what it is, a porn fantasy where every female MC meets wants to bang him (including fam). Gradually works through the holdouts, will likely end when sex with Nana is consumated. Updated all the time.

I'm not sure the ratings matter much but they were discussed in the thread recently. This one simply delivers what it promises, the pace is easy with plenty of lewd content for those just looking for that and a generally positive story. A couple fetishes in it aren't for me but they don't take away from the game enough to lower the rating and I suspect most of them are optional (been a while since I went through those sections).

I startet playing and i was like "yeah this is not bad". The story was interesting and could not wait to keep going.

Then there comes a time where your brain just start to shut more and more down because of the story/writing. If the dev and the writing/story dosent take itself serious then why should i as a player do? So.... i DONT take it serious and start using the SKIP text.... ALL THE TIME.

Never have i ever use so mutch Skip then i did in this AVN ,and if you end up having to do it more then playing the game, then it tells you all you need to know. When the Story/writing are BAD then all you are left with are the sex scene.

And after a few bad buildup sex scene and then the next one and so on then its kinda pointless to even play for the sex scenes aswell, and so all you are left with are just a BIG pile of shit and a waste of time.

If the sex scene are supose too be this AVN strenght, then that makes me sad. The scenes are not even made to be good with no Animation.
Feels more like quantity over quality. To bad because the Models and graphic is not bad.

There is 100s of choices that literally do nothing. I've never seen a game throw so many side characters at you to avoid progressing the story with any of the main cast.
Why does the game give you the choice if you are interested in a LI only to force that LI on to you? Why is there 2o choices to watch water sports only to force that content on you?
I have no idea how this game has such a high rating. it should be a 2 IMO
