    It's not terrible, but it is the epitome of mediocrity.

    The writing is just fine. Not particularly inspired. Not engaging. Not funny. Not really anything. But it moves along the barely existent narrative, There's really not much of one. Just enough to establish a flimsy reason for the MC to bang his relatives.

    I suppose with that in mind the sex scenes are the meat of the game and I guess there's a lot of meat on these bones. But it's hard not to feel like they opted for quantity over quality.

    There's a lot of sex scenes but not a lot of writing has gone into them. I mean the images are nice enough but I only look at them as long as it takes me to read a scene and in this game I can do that in like thirty seconds tops.

    At the end of the day if you don't really care about the narrative at all and just need the bare minimum to nut to then this might be your... Guilty Pleasure. :cool:

    ...Personally though I like at least a bit more depth to my degenerate lewd games.

    Honestly I don't have much to say other than to echo the other negative reviews here. The pace of the game feels off, there is inconsistency with what the characters say and do (or how quickly they get comfortable with doing very risky stuff), the buildup is lacking and the writing ranges from okay to bad.

    I was lured in by the nice looking models, both the (by default) mother and the older sister (my fav) are good looking and start off interesting, unfortunately the game very early on forces a fuckbuddy relationship with the younger sister which I didn't care for.

    After playing for some more I realized that there were no meaningful choices to make and you didn't even get to choose if you'd like to get intimate with the girls, the sex acts were just thrown at you. Unlike other VNs where you at least can choose not to get involved with characters you didn't care about and not go their path, here you are just expected to fuck anything that moves.

    I would rate this 2.5/5 but then I read that in recent updates it gets worse and worse so I give it a 2-/5 for the artwork, the realistic proportions and the fact that you can customize the relation the main characters have (for example I made them all step-related to the MC), which is a plus.

    As others have said, a very mediocre VN that is at best forgettable and at worst frustrating to "play" through.

    Don't let the early "choices" fool you, this is a kinetic novel through and through.

    Dated theme all throughout the story, seen one seen them all at this point. Cliche is the name of the game here.

    The most enticing thing here is the freckles on the mother.

    This game is phoned in like "unlimited nights and weekend minutes" from the early 2000s. It's honestly impressive how little effort was put into it. Feels like dev gave less shit than a constipated Gandhi on his 135th day of fasting. More effort was put into this shit post masquerading as a review.

    If you've played this game any time in the last two years, you've already 100 percented it gamer. GGs

    This used to feel decent, but its been declining in quality for while now.

    Nothing happens that isn't directly related to the sex scenes, and mostly it is simply to provide a new setting to display the sex scene in.

    Unfortunately the sex scenes are very pedestrian. They are short, the dialogue is largely uninteresting and it just feels very uninspired.

    Writing this just after release .33, which introduced a 3-some that was entirely uninspired and unengaging. How do you make a 3-some that dull?

    We need to see longer and more involved sex scenes, currently it feels like the dev is just phoning in a half-arsed performance to collect his pay cheque.

    I can't add anything that hasn't already been said by other people, so i'll just say this:
    For a guy that fucks his entire family, this dude's life is remarkably plain. Seriously, nothing happens in this game. Oh, and it definitely doesn't qualify as a visual novel.
    It's a kinetic novel.

    Fair warning, this review is going to be pretty spoiler heavy.

    As others have mentioned, this game has numerous flaws and one of its most frustrating is of course the sex scenes in which no one ever changes positions, the MC has never heard of foreplay (unless it's for his own pleasure), and somehow everyone has an orgasm within 30 seconds. But aside from that, its biggest flaw is that it absolutely squanders every potential for storytelling.

    It starts out with a decent enough premise with the MC and his sister sort of being thrust into a situation by their friends where they end up having sex. I assumed there would be some build up to it happening again, but instead the sister almost immediately admits that she liked it and wants to do it again. So, then they start having casual sex and I'm thinking, ok, fine, they'll think they can keep it casual and eventually realize they're starting to have feelings for one another. But nope. They just carry on their merry way with both seemingly never having a single introspective thought or feeling enter their brains.

    Then there's the other sister who catches them and is morally opposed to incest but is obviously attracted to her brother. So, I figured, here comes some actual drama. But it doesn't take much time to convince her to also fuck him. And once she gets a taste of the MC's near-instant orgasms, she's suddenly fine with everything.

    There's also the cute girl he's tutoring whose parents died when she's young, but I guess I should have taken the MC literally when he told his mom he'd avoid that topic because it never comes up again.

    But the aunt is the biggest headscratcher of them all and is actually the only reason I'm writing this because I didn't notice anyone else mention it in a review. She catches the siblings in the act on her yacht. She tells them they need to come clean to their mother or she'll eventually tell her. But evidently the trauma of her yacht breaking down is too much for everyone because they all have selective amnesia by the time they're all back home. Suddenly the siblings are making comments about how they think the aunt might suspect and the aunt is acting like she's suspicious of them.

    By this point in the game, the characters basically develop short term memory loss. The aunt gives the MC a blowjob and his mom almost catches them and when his mom mentions that the aunt disappeared during the night, the MC tells her that she must have slept in one of the girls' rooms. Then later the aunt asks the MC for help coming up with an alibi and for some reason he abandons that perfectly reasonable story and tells her that she should tell the mom that she left during the middle of the night to go to a bar and get wasted. Then the aunt catches the siblings in the act AGAIN and they all act like it's the first time???

    So, yeah, if you made it through my overly lengthy review and this still somehow sounds like a good time to you, knock yourself out! Otherwise, don't waste your time.

    TLDR: The MC is a two-pump chump but has a magical dick that always gives girls orgasms anyway and eventually all the characters get amnesia. The end.

    Not much of a story and really no meaningful choices. There are a lot of girls and they are all good looking. The updates are pretty short but they do drop pretty regularly, all and all it pretty solid.

    A classic "quest to bang everybody" game, and I cant complain. Every female in the game is a smoke show. The sex scenes are hot. The only things that would irk me is THAT sister's perversion tends to get outta hand, and lack of awareness when getting naughty really stretches the boundaries of plausibility (i.e. doing it in the living room with a huge window with all the lights on when using the bedroom and/or a light switch was totally a possibility); however, those more or less end up being comedic to me.

    TLDR; A standard wet humping simulator with hotties and humor. Not bad.

    Great incest game. I would like it if we had options for the story instead of just watching though a fixed (predetermined) one, but it's still one of the best. Models and animation are great. The story is spicy and I can't wait for more Updates.

    Fantastic models (though the "aunt" model looks a bit too cartoonish for my taste) and pacing, and the personalities of the characters are distinct and well-done. The updates are frequent, but short. Looking forward to the continued progression.

    [v0.30] You and your sister get sexual while playing games at a party with friends. From then on, you both look at each other differently. You decide to enter a sexual relationship which soon grows to encompass your other sister, your mother, your Aunt, and other women in the neighborhood.

    The story is entertaining, if lacking drama. Characters are playful and nice, and the models are good looking.

    The problem with the game is that the sex scenes consist of only one animation each and are over within a few clicks. A game built around sex should feature more content during these scenes. Even just additional views of each animations would help immensely.

    A porn game with lackluster porn is simply not good enough.

    Not much to tell about the story, its a standard incest game with 0 twist so it something you will have seen a million times over.

    Story is kinetic you will be forced to fuck all the familie members even those you dont want to fuck and this is what really kills the game, you should always be able to pick who you want to fuck, and when you cant story is just kinetic and points, and it turns into a boring fuckfest game, might as well hit a porn site insted of wasting time reading pointless text without romance or relationship build-ups.

    I had to stop playing after the Aunt was forced on me, i just hate old ugly LIs with huge saggy tits, its to much of a turn-off and ruined the game, it shouldent force that shit on you as the player, it should insted respect that people has diffrent tastes and might not want to see everything hence the need for choices...

    MC is a bit of a brainless idiot, telling one of hes friends the truth about him and hes sister is just to idiotic when they are trying to hide it, sure he saw it happen at the party but it could have easily been explained with being drunk and on drugs, so no idea why he told him everything.

    And as allways someone forgets to lock the door so MC and the sister get cought by the mother while fucking, its just so boring and so standard, but what makes it idiotic is when they keep fucking out in the open on a small boat, next to MCs other sister, in the open on the boat where its impossible not to get caught, its just not fun and its pointless they might as well just walk up and tell everyone that would proberly be 10 times more fun.

    Also its missing the Drugs tag, you fuck your sister the first time when shes on drugs.

    Apprently that sister was also a virgin but scene was shit and not like a virgin scene in any way what so ever, MC just fucks her like any other normal sex scene, no pain no nothing, sure you can blame it on the drugs but still a total waste of potential to make a decent virgin scene, also another tag missing i guess even though scene was awefull.

    The girls or should say familie is meh, Lilly look nice but thats about it, i found the other girls at the party better then any of the familie members, and since you see those LI fuck and suck other guys means they arent even LIs and if they are i wouldent thouch them after that.

    Animations are pretty good, short but still something you can enjoy.

    Music is ok about average so nothing special or mood setting just the normal background stuff.

    Choices are shit and there are very very few of them, 95% of the story or more is just text with no choices, you cant change anything in the main story and you cant deside who to fuck, its just forced on you by the kinetic storyline.

    Missing tags: Kinetic, Virgin, Drugs, Creampie just to name some.

    V0.30 or 0.3 to those who know math :p :LOL:

    entering year 4 of development and still not much going on.
    plot (haha) is the same ol' same ol' seen many times before and is not delivered very well. dialogue reads like many below par others here too.
    it has no hook. more exciting if i hide the dialogue altogether and just watch it as a slideshow.

    the art is it's only attempt to hook players and it does an average job of that. with no real story to express, the artist has done the best they can but it's nothing new. there's nowhere to go beyond rinse and repeat

    it's just bland and unexciting. going nowhere and taking it's damn fine time doing so. takes the yellow naturally produced liquid in catheter form calling this a Novel. even 50 shades and twilight were a more interesting read and i would not recommend either to anyone.........except maybe the french ;):LOL:

    This is a great incest game and be warned this is a linear novel and nothing will change its path so you might as well let go of your inhibitions and jump headfirst with your arms wide open.

    If you have any sense of morality, you will shed every last bit of it when you meet your sister Lilly. This girl without a doubt is one of the hottest characters I've laid eyes upon in a visual novel. This blonde succubus will test you, time and time again, and every time you will dive deeper into the forbidden taboo of incest. Unfortunately, there is only one frontal screenshot of her and not the best one, so you'll have to play to know what I'm talking about.

    I think one of the greatest parts of this game is the friendly banter of Alex. There is great one liners, comebacks and teasing, which I admit made me not skip any dialog at which I am guilty of. There is a shit load of sex animations which I think is extreme but highly appropriate for this genre. I do like the renders and it's a nice touch seeing the slight changes in expressions or hand gestures during conversations.

    Overall, it is a very enjoyable forbidden game, and sinfully I can't wait to play more to see how far the rabbit hole goes.

    Pros:

    good render quality

    Cons:
    lame story
    poor writing
    boring/short sex scenes
    animations feel copy-pasted
    boring characters


    Conclusion:
    I really had to force myself to finish this game, because it started to bore me to death, really quickly.
    I don't want to be too harsh, but I haven't seen anything that was mildly interesting, and so much of this game just feels too half-assed.
    It started decently with the premise of the MC and his sister being drunk and having sex with each other, and turns in to a sexual relationship.
    Then it fell of the cliff quite drastically when you saw how bad, lazy and short the sex scenes were and how badly the story continued.
    One of many issues is, that there's barely any story, but just a lot of shitty porn plots and clichés, that are put together, and make zero sense.
    I gave up reading the dialogues, because they were just so incredibly boring to read.
    The "sex scenes" are pretty much all copy and paste, and are just another thing that feels lazy and half-assed.
    There are choices, but mostly after a couple of minutes and basically nothing after that, which makes this more a kinetic novel.
    The character models look alright, but they are some of the most basic models you would see in any other game.
    It is to me just another game that focuses on render quality, and other than that, I see not a lot of effort that was put in to it.
    I really appreciate Devs who don't take the easy way, and just put out some nice looking renders, just to get some 5* ratings from people who only look at the visuals (which wouldn't even make sense for this game), and rather focus on the story,characters or sex scenes.
    Even if this would've been a mindless fuck-fest, and there was some effort done to make the sex entertaining, it would've been rated far better.
    I reluctantly give this game 2*. It should probably just be 1* because i've seen so many games like this one, that feel boring and lazy.

    I have to say that this VN has surprised me very pleasantly.
    While I have to agree with many reviews regarding it being around the typical wincest story (father not being present/dead, mom, 1 responsible sister, 1 bratty sister), I loved the fact that the story is not forced:

    MC does not have a horse-sized or magical penis, he's not a ripped athlete nor it's a super-wealthy dude that gains girls by throwing money away.

    It's a very regular - even nerdish - guy who has not much idea of how to approach girls, and he unexpectedly gains experience through the story events.

    So it takes out easily 80% of the incest stories on this site.

    Instead, the whole affair is caused by circumstances, and they actually try (unsuccessfully) to avoid it, until they finally give in and the whole incest story starts to develop.

    While the characters do have a kind of a traditional incest VN schema temper, the way they gravitate until they get completely involved in the affair makes it different.

    It is a really fun story to read, not too deep, not too shallow. With a lot of good jokes and hilarious situations, mixed with a good amount of lewd content.

    There are just a couple of things that make me rate it at 4 stars instead of 5:

    - Lewd scenes are indeed very short and have very few animations.
    - While at the beginning it seemed options would have an impact, in reality, they don't, and that becomes evident as the story progresses. I would prefer it to just be a VN in this case, instead of asking for player options when in reality it won't matter in the big picture of the story.

    Great visual novel. About the only criticism I have is that it's more of a story without many choices. I love how this doesn't devolve into what I call thought bombs where you read endless lines of thought text. This also has a lot of funny moments where I burst out laughing. All in all, a great story.

    One of the best incest Ren'py games that I played!

    I hope that we can receive new updates.
    The story pace is good, credible enough, I real like the characters, the mother, two sisters, the “girlfriend” Maya. Maybe the weakest is the aunt.
    The new girl, Maya’s history tutor, also seems interesting and can be a future path.

    I would like to see again some of the girls that were in the tent party.

    AVNs like "Guilty Pleasure" are frustrating, as there are elements that make them really excellent, but contain too many faults to achieve a score beyond 3 or 3.5 stars. While this game retraces the very familiar family-sex path we've seen in countless other games, "Guilty Pleasure" does take a novel approach, in that the MC does not begin the game wanting to nail his sisters and mother. Instead, circumstances and their natural beauty conspire, in increasingly fantastical ways, to throw them into the sack together.

    The first scenario in the game to throw the MC and younger sister together was quite plausible, which I prefer. Unfortunately, the quality of the writing falls short. The game also fails the show-don't-tell test, especially in the early game. On the plus side, the character models are gorgeous and the art is decent. And while the games fails to realize the full potential of many of the scenarios presented, there is enough eroticism to keep my interest sustained. YMMV.
