Way overhyped, at the end the game becomes a slog with no interesting thing happening and a lot of unnecessary text, the transitions in sex scenes take a long time to load making skipping a pain, I don't like realistic 3d games either sadly.
I guess it's a nice incest sister game with a little bit of trauma at the end, only did the sister solo route and watched the sex scenes for the others personally, so the start was nice, end portion sucked.
Fantastic incest-themed game. Twins are typically closer to one another than anyone else, and this story really makes you understand that, and invest in the two lead characters' story as it develops. I saw "two lead characters" because, despite not being the MC, this IS Haley's story, and it all revolves around her
The best part of the game is the story. There's sex, and lots of it, with a lot of different characters, but the real payoff is watching MC and Haley interact with one another
There's sibling bantering, deep emotional connections and, of course, their budding inestuous relationship set against a backdrop of past traumas to tackle, a suspicious father and trying to keep up with their demanding careers. It all makes for great gameplay, but my favourite scenes of all were those where MC and Haley simply bonded; those were truly beautiful. The only thing I found annoying about the game...was the dad character trying to cockblock them
This game started as a masterpiece. The relationship between the twins felt so real, the buildup to the start of their true relationship was just so nice to see/read, but then came the later episodes.
No more choices, dropped paths, ignored characters/storys, no real answer about what really happened to Haley in the past and this in the game that should tell her story.
All the endings feel so rushed and unsatisfying and after reading about the long development of the game, it's really evident that the developers lost the fire/passion for this game at some point.
There are no sound effects, sometimes the music feels out of place and the animations are kinda bad, but these flaws are nothing compared to the big flaws.
This game could be a true masterpiece, but I can only recommend it for someone that has an imagination and can find a new ending for himself as head canon or for someone that is just glad to play a game with an ending after so many more abandoned games.
For myself, this game will follow me for a long time, especially Haley's answers to what she wants from her twin's relationship.
Like lots of others commented, the game starts out good and then moves too fast. The two main characters actually behave like siblings, e.g. never calling each other sis and bro like every other stupid inc game. Lots of good plot setups with the bosses, roommates, neighbors etc. and then it all gets dropped. I was so surprised by all the dropped threads I went to the walkthrough after finishing the game to see what other endings or plot developments I missed. Answer: almost none.
I see this a lot in these games: for whatever reason, the dev gets to about halfway then gets rushed or bored and just chops off what would obviously have been an equally amazing second half, and we're left with a 55% game marked "completed." I can only assume there's a monetary incentive here, like maybe once the trickle of new Patrons flattens out, the dev feels pressured to start something new to attract new donors?
Animations are bad for the most part. Grammar/spelling not great but not usually bad enough to distract. Women are not all supermodels which would usually be ok or even great, but here their faces are just weird looking in a way I can't articulate. The character with supposed enormous rack is like a D cup. Just a bunch of other things that add up to disappointment over what could have been.
About the game. I found it really funny how it was built up. The relationship between MC and his sister is slowly but climbing. First the kisses and the further intimacy were implemented well. Until the end, the two can no longer leave their fingers. Until the end of the story where you see with amanda sex, this was a long way. Only at the end of the Haley I did not like it that much. But overall a very exciting face and perfect.
This AVN is a very slooooowww-burn. watching a turtle crossing a football field is faster. The romance between the twins takes forever to blossom unless you fast-forward skip but you will lose the good part of this AVN as strange as it may seem, the reading is gold. The text consists of short dialogues that are straight to the point, very funny moments, dramatic moments, and tense moments, but without excessive text or narrative, and few thoughts from the MC. But it's a long, mature, and lovely story, if you're looking for a quick fap, turn your back on this AVN.
One of the best if the not the best brother/sister romance VN you can play
Visuals are old (nowadays) but good enough and the soundtrack is also ok.
ML and FL (main LI) are both great and the story is quite good.
The focus of the incest is romance with slice of life elements and with a dose of dramatic backstory.
Their is also 2 other LIs (actually 3 lis with their own ending) and some ONS with some girls but in my opinion are just a side girls because the sister is the main focus on all paths
To conclude if you like incest stories (B/S) and you also like romance this VN is a must play.
I was really enjoying the game until all these revelations after their first time, I wasn't prepared for all this drama and I didn't even see it coming. For those who like deeper stories it's a good game, but for me who just wanted to "relax" a little, I ended up just leaving with bad taste in my mouth. Abuse is always a sensitive topic to touch on.
Great game with a lot of route variety. I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Just got my first ending with Adriana and Haley. I am sure I will be looking for other ones very soon!
The sex scenes could have been more fluid, regardless they were well placed and their dialogue was good.
Genuinely impressive writing until the last parts.
I don't like incest. But somehow the game made the sheer taboo of it interesting, with somewhat realistic characters. Just genuinely a gripping story with great characters. A plus. One of the few games where the dialogue is not to be skipped.
However, the renders and animations are terrible. And the side characters other than the sister are rather meaningless and underdeveloped. But the biggest issue is that in the last part of the story the "math teacher" shit is just in bad taste for the sake of shock value and shouldn't have been a thing, genuinely ruins everything. Pointless drama.
It's weird that the developer's other projects are so terrible while this one is an anomaly in porn games in its writing quality.
There is nothing special about the story but how it develops makes it special. Very well written dialogs makes you connect with characters easily which is hard to find in H games. You just not only feel the sexual tense with the siblings but also the love(one of the few games i didn't go lazy on reading scripts). Even though i prefer 2d art, this is one of the games made me make exception. But i should admit this review is written for the first part(till the first sex) and all other low ratings i saw, point that how it changes shift which makes me postpone to finish game. So i guess my advice is play the first part of the game and you won't be dissappointed.
It starts out fun with lots of humorous interactions between the twins. (mc and his sister)
The first half of the story was done well.
Nice long windup with the characters and getting to know them.
Great graphics and characters. A tiny bit too dark.
Mostly lets you focus on the sister as far as romance goes which is great.
-------------------
Bad job on proofreading...many spelling/grammar errors.
The ending is terrible as they basically just slapped a The End sticker on it without closing out stories.
The mc isn't too overly likeable toward his sister.
It's kinetic and the few choices offered don't matter.
Storywise
At some point the mc and sister start dealing with rape. Part of this story is that the rapist now has another young girl he may be going after but the mc and sister don't really care. After a couple visits with her, they just ignore her and leave her to whatever may happen.
In fact, the rest of the rape story isn't really dealt with toward the end.
The family dynamic with their parents is creepy with the father showing up to stay with the daughter for several days or maybe weeks. It seems like concern at first but also a bit weird.
The twins never do stand up to their parents or tell them the truth.
A few other silly parts to the story....like renting an additional apartment to fool their parents.
The story is pretty boring toward the end.
The worst part, other than it being kinetic, is the ending....
After spending so much time reading this story it would have been nice for a complete ending. Because of that, I'd certainly not recommend it.
Certaintly one of my favorite incest games, i have actully been thinking about the concept of two siblings moving in together for monetary reasons and then falling in love but i have not done anything with the concept myself so i am truly grateful for this game existing, if only two complaints, one the need to name saves is very annoying from a gameplay perspective considdering it does not add anything really and just makes it inconvienient to play with one hand, also no proper ending to the whole Klaus stuff. But still it is one fine piece of incent content
There are very few Incest games on this site where the characters act believably enough like family, and this is one of them. Honestly, if you like sibling incest and don't mind the mc dating around as he tries to ignore his feelings for Haley at the start, you should play up to having sex with Haley, pretend the game ends there, and shut the game off. The game's handling of the subsequent revenge fantasy portion is atrocious. I have had the past SA conversation with multiple women in my life. Oh, you want revenge on her behalf? Tough shit. There's a vulnerable person in front of you that needs to be listened to without you getting distracted and trying to action hero the problem away. This isn't an opportunity for you to be badass, it's trauma. If a woman you know asks for help with a guy, sure do what you think is right, but don't go off and do something on your own that betrays the trust the woman had in you to talk about her trauma in the first place.
Game starts alright and i enjoyed it but as for an AVN i dident like it, im just not into listening to the sister talking about her sex life with her boyfriend and how she gets fucked or how her boyfriend has a small dick and its also not something a sister would talk to her brother about, it just to weird.
MC is also to much of a simp, he has no backbone of hes own so hes sister has to forced him to do shit like go on dates, it dosent matter if you as the player arent into the girl so you arent even allowed to say no.
As for the choices you do have they dont really matter in any way, you can pick the worng choice every time but nothing changes, like with Sandra i tried all worng choices and still went on date with her, i picked all worng choices on date and dident kiss her and what does game do? it speeds forward saying you now went on alot more dates with her and you apprently also tried to get to fuck her? and your now a couple? i mean why wtf is this, a kinetic novel?
And yes it is a kinetic novel, i tried to test it out and i did every worng choice with the sister and with the Sandra and guess what even though game forced Sandra on you as your girlfriend, it also forces you to cheat on her and fuck the sister even when you have done everything possible to stay away from her and pick all the worng choices, so its 100% kinetic novel and should be tagged as such and then MC dumps Sandra which is a joke why force her on you to dump her rofl come on this cant have such a high rating its not possible.
Also anal fetish is forced on you as well, even when you choose we dont have to, it will be forced no matter what and it will be a thing in the game for some time late game, its idiotic like everything else.
Pregnancy tag is also a joke, theres no such content in the game, no pregnant sex and its only right before game ends its meaningless and pointless.
I can totaly accept that Haley is forced on you since game is about her, but i cant accept it forces a girlfriend on you, forcing you to cheat, forcing a big anal fetish, none of that is needed in any way, MC had sex with Sandra in my playthrugh and then forces you to have sex with the sister, its just worng and as said many times before kinetic.
And even if you try to go full Sandra route game changes Sandra into now being a lesbian, accepting MC is fucking hes own sister and it becomes a 3-way relationship, nothing makes any kind of sense.
I loved the incest part and i loved Haley which is why i gave it even 2 stars, but it just got killed by having no controle in anything and being a full blown kinetic novel and not tagged as such which is worng.
Animations are ok but not great.
Music is standard background stuff.
Choices means close to nothing, cant avoid sex with Haley even when picking all the bad choices and your already fucking your girlfriend.
I really wanted to give a higher rating. In fact, if I had written this review before Haley's first sex scene, I would've given it 5 stars. Up to a certain point, this was genuinely one of the best incest games I've ever played on this website, up there with Chasing Sunsets (the review below me has no taste, btw) and other masterpieces.
Haley's chemistry with the MC was unbelievably sweet and satisfying at first. It's incredibly fun to read their interactions as they slowly come to terms with their feelings for each other, slowly breaching new territory while navigating their newfound relationship. I swear to God, some of their late-night cuddling sessions almost had me blushing, wishing that this game would never end. Their intimacy was so endearing and immersive that it genuinely felt like the rest of the world didn't exist.
So why the low rating? Because at some point we're introduced to a plot point that completely shifts the mood of the game. We find out about a traumatic event in Haley's past, and that becomes the center piece of the story for a good while. "Whiplash" is the only way to describe it. We're suddenly taken out of the sweetness and dipped in bitterness and anger. I honestly don't mind the concept that they used, but it should've been handled better. First of all, the game trauma dumps on you right after your first sex scene with Haley. And I mean immediately after, still laying naked next to each other. If Haley had told us about the incident the next morning, it would've been a more realistic and tasteful way to broach the topic.
After that, it feels like we're playing a completely different game. Gone are the moments of sweet intimacy, now replaced by over-the-top teasing and dry humor. Haley and MC were always playful with each other, but the writing begins to really lean on that after the trauma reveal, likely in a forced attempt to distract the player from it. Haley's personality used to be laced with devotion, playfulness and vulnerability, but now it's a caricature of a cartoon sibling that constantly insults you. Also, Haley and MC have a strange fixation with joking about Haley prostituting herself or fucking other men in general. And before you say I have no sense of humor, trust me, it's a lot. It doesn't happen once or twice. It borders on obsession, for some reason.
In summary, the relationship between the two main characters is downgraded heavily after the trauma dump. And it's not like the two things are related. It feels more like a way for the writers to distance themselves from the elephant in the room, instead of quickly addressing it and moving on. This decision leaves the tension hanging indefinitely until the ending, and we never really see the characters coming to terms with what happened. I do appreciate how we manage to "handle" Klaus, though. However, I would've liked to see better closure on Haley's side, like her parents telling her about the murder, then she walks out and falls in MC's arms, saying that she's shocked but somehow relieved, knowing that she can finally move on and that no one else will be hurt by him. That would've been much more emotional and respectful to the characters, and a great way to close this chapter of Haley's life as she starts a new one by our side.
Even the sex scenes get worse after the tonal shift. I really liked Haley's submissive nature during the good 1/3 of the game. Some people disliked the whole "daddy" thing but I found it cute and tasteful. It's a normal kink in the real world, but some people in the porn games "community" are really sensitive to it for some reason. Anyway, submissive Haley was adorable, and they could've even tied that to the story. She could tell the MC that he's the first she's ever been submissive to, and that it's liberating because there's no one else in the world she trusts more than him. Dom/Sub relationships are based on trust, and that theme could tie very well into Haley's character, considering what happened to her in the past. No need to make it a full-time thing, just something to spice up the sex scenes and the dynamic between Haley and MC. At some point Haley just... stops being submissive, and we never get to see the coveted "leash and ball gag" scene *clenches fist*
The endings are also... strange, if not abrupt. I expected the characters to mature a bit and deepen their intimacy after the timeskip, but instead we just get more of the same, and by "same" I mean dry humor and impersonal sex scenes. The endings do their job, and it's nice to at least have proper endings, but they could've been better. One thing I do appreciate is how naturally the game introduces the three-way relationships. It feels organic and believable, especially in Sandra's case. Haley is unfortunately still a clown all the way to the end, but at least the three-ways were written very well.
And to conclude this part of the review, I think "impersonal" is the best word to describe the game after The Incident™. I don't know if the criticism reached the developers, but it's like they simply distanced themselves from the core essence of Haley's Story. Moments no longer feel intimate, instead becoming very impersonal, like the writer is just doing this as a job. Haley's silliness is extrapolated to the point of satire, as if they forgot what made her special in the first place. Then we get some obligatory nightclub scenes, some quick dates here and there, a side girl joins us (or not), and the game ends. The conclusion of the game lacks emotion, as if they just wanted to get it over with.
When it comes to the art, the renders are nice. I'm genuinely surprised at how well the renders aged. It doesn't feel like a game from 2019, so there was clearly a lot of care put into the art. From the posing to the lighting, everything looks good. Well, the animations are pretty stiff, but they're serviceable.
As for the gameplay, it's pretty straightforward and intuitive. Some people disliked the forced relationship with Sandra, but it was fine. At least it serves the plot, and you can break up with her before even having sex. Haley's relationship with Jack, on the other hand, is completely pointless. It doesn't serve the plot and never goes anywhere. It's just fluff text.
Final Thoughts:
As I said in the beginning, I really wanted to give this game a higher rating. Haley's Story is a 5-star game ruined by 2-star writing. It starts off very, very, very good, but then it crashes tragically and ends unceremoniously. I would give it a 4/10, but the rating system makes me gravitate to a 2/5. That being said, the game can still be enjoyed, so I recommend that you try it out for yourself, see if you like it. And if you do, have fun. If you don't, I recommend Chasing Sunsets. Great game.
One of the best AVN out there, and obviously THE best in brother/sister games roster.
Characters are all great, except Sandra, but that just a personal preference.
Story is good too, no stupid plot about saving the world of mindless fuckfest. Just a good slice of life, that is calm and entertaining.
No stupid propaganda or political bullshit.
Graphics, well I never gave a shit about it, as I played games with a garbage for a graphics that've been masterpieces (Once in a Lifetime) and those with top tier renders that were pile of trash (Chasing Sunset). Those are just some of the examples, as in this game renders ARE dated, but I never understood people playing this kinds of games for renders only.
In conclusion, if you want a good story of siblingcest with additional LIs that are made good, AND the dated graphics isn't a deal breaker for you , than give this game a try, as unlike steamy pile of garbage, that is Chasing Sunset, this one IS actually a really good one.
The garaphics is little bit bellow average. The female characters are decent and a bit attractive. The story is around average. The sex scenes are quite bad. The clothes variations are weak. There is no special kink involved. The story is decent.
Great for 2019, not good now. Too many issues in terms of lengthy, boring and often redundant dialogue with little pay off, including the fact the visuals are (obviously) dated. It's simply not worth the time investment to actually get to a point where anything is interesting, cause it is almost NEVER a point where it's genuinely interesting.
