VN - Ren'Py - Hard to Love [v0.23] [Qori Gaming]

Cannot wait for more. It has huge potential of becoming something great. I love the renders and the story/dialogue. Keep it up!
The recent released build seems stable enough and I haven't been met with bugs, especially showstoppers.

Gfx and anims are good, models are unique. Plus the landlady gets different models - younger and older - to fit the passage of time in the narrative. Which is a nice touch. There are two almost h-scenes in v0.02, didn't do it for me sadly.

Plot's way too stretched thin even in this relatively early stage of dev. Basically you get a flashback of being college age and about to fuck your land-people but then knock up your gff who died in childbirth. Cut to present and you're back home with your land-student, and all of your fuckable/romanceable landpersons living under one roof.

The landpeople genre being what it is, several characters representing "types" based on a streamer-girl aficionado's understanding of women, are packed into a fairly simple "main" plot. And then given "paths" aka badly written reenactments of Gossip Girl scenes corresponding to each type. Asshole cuck daddy is the cherry on top of this cum sundae. Since porno visual novels need to have choices for some reason, we're "free" to accept or reject being attracted to them. But the story only makes sense if we have "relationships" with all of them.

Nothing else to say really. I could list some examples of cringe writing, like 60 years young landlady mouth kissing 40 year old landboy then chastising herself for abusing him. But I won't. Instead I'll just give it 3/5 for the nice gfx and pretty UI design. If you like this sort of thing dl and enjoy.

Great game. Has characters, a plot, tragedy, an injured hero that has lost his wife, a cute understanding daughter, a slutty sister and Mother. In short, all the ingredients of a Hollywood film minus the likeable best friend.

It's one of those games...

Renders are Amazing.
Character models don't look like the typical ones you would find everywhere
The story got me engaged and I actually want to know what happens next
The pacing seems good..

Hope you'll get the support you deserve!

Wow. So, so good! Love this!! Caught me by surprise how much I loved playing this! Renders are beautiful! The story so far made me feel things in my heart and not just in my dick-parts (but, also yes, in the dick-parts too!) Keep up the great work! More, more, more!

Story:

From what I've seen is pretty impressive, usually I dislike flashbacks in games because of how poorly done they are. But not here, everything felt natural to me. I like that we play a grown man with a daughter and a sweet backstory. I can't wait for future updates.

Renders:

Beautiful models, they're different and not heavy on the aesthetics. No overly large breasts or asses. Well balanced beauties.

Gameplay:

I thought it was smooth, choices didn't really matter but if you're telling an origin/backstory I expect that. Great UI, music is well selected also.

Feels like the story starting trending downward after the first release, hopefully it picks back up.

Great start! Interesting interface. Haven't seen one like this before. It is easy to navigate. The characters are hot. Very nice to have the path options so accessible. Fingers crossed that every update isn't just a teaser.

5/5 Story
I loved playing incest game which have forbidden pleasure really love this game and hope to see it progress ,It has so much potential to become a really good incest game bigger sister ,smaller sister ,mother(through I don't like mother character that much after she get old but I have played many games were mother is same age as MC so I am okay with that).Story is really good.

They wants to enjoy me guess what i enjoyed every second of this game!! Fully lovable characters amazing story and no fucked up Ntr.
Emotional indeed and i love romance what you wants more ? This is heaven haha.
Thanks guys for such a good game believe me i found 3 best game on feb 2022 with first release and all games best no faking. Ok that's it I'm going to wait for next update. Loved it❤

Very good! well written with a lot of confidence and with plenty of details that are explicit enough to entice while also being open ended enough to allow for the story to develop as the player chooses. The character designs are unique and each character so far is different while still being attractive. I hope people give it a shot and support the dev because work of this quality doesnt happen without a lot of effort and a lot talent.

5/5 Overall

4/5 Story
Very enjoyable start overall that I played through in one sitting. Can't wait for more. Sure it's a pretty "standard" game, but it's a well made one imo. Also I happen to be a very big fan of games with incest / forbidden love.

A good start indeed. Good models. Story is interesting thinking about past and coming to present. Liked this approach of story telling. Moments with Antonella are absolutely worth it. It got a cinematic feel. Absolutely loved the first half of this version. But afterall this is an incest game. Then it pretty much fallen into usual incest games. Where MC's sister is sexually attracted to him, mom doesn't care about nudes an exhibitionist, and MC had a daughter she reminds him alot of antonella. Now MC also has new sibling she is at same age of MC's daughter. Well we all know what happens next.

Well I'm waiting to find what happened to Antonella. seems like something tragic occurs to them. Is she dead or they broke up ?

Overall it's a good start. liked the way of story telling. Hoping it doesn't become a fast fuck feast and succumb like usual incest games. Looking forward to next updates

Hard to Love - First Release (v0.01 Bugfix)

• The quality of the models and the lighting that goes along with the scene is perfect. The models look good and the framing is phenomenal, using the proper depth of field to focus on certain objects. The angles, really nice transitions from POV to third-person.
• The lighting is not too bright, not too dim, just right.
• The use of the dizziness and need to sleep as a transition to recalling memories is nice. You get to be introduced to the characters early on with the memory sequence and the phone, without it being too difficult to read.
• Music and sound effects are spot on, really evokes emotion from those specific moments.

Overall, a great start. Has really good potential, can't wait to see more of it.

Waiting for a bug fix was worth it. For initial release pretty awesome introduction, story touched my soul especially about Antonella. Dialogs are good and interesting and you want to read them not just to skip for the next sex scene or else. Will be waiting for the next update.

Review of 0.01 Bugfix

This is a very polished first release, yeah, i'm not trolling.
Ignoring the bug, every aspect of this vn from the ui, renders, sound,plot in game mechanics like the phone are all flawless.
The story is the ice on the cake, it's been a while since ive read an interesting plot from the newer games and this one is one of them.
Is not the typical mc turns 18 and now hes gonna raid the whole family type of plot, there is incest yet how it plays out its pretty interesting/unique in comparison of the rest of incest games on this site, the dialogue between characters doesn't feel forced and most have a pretty distinguish personality atleast the ones that got screentime.
Theres about 1-2 hours of playtime with normal reading speed.
The only point of contention is the model that they use for the daughter, at the beginning looks and feels odd but as you keep playing it kinda grows on you tbh.
All and all you should definitely try this game or atleast keep close attention to this dev because it really deserves it.

I want to do sinful things to amy, oh my god.

4/5
Let's be generous today
While the start was rocky, and, well, still is, the 0.01 version is exactly what it is - the first release of the first game devs ever did. And it's good.
Writing is surprisingly adequate, visuals are good, transitions do not leave you with question "eh, what just happened?", music is awesome

It's decently done for a first release
The problems i had were really insignificant, like colour font for one character was done in bright yellow over white background, making it barelly readable
Or the fact that end of the version was basically you being thrown out to the main menu in the middle of the scene
But this points are easily fixable and i don't really have problem with them

Easily one of the surprisingly good first releases i played recently
Wish dev's luck with this project, because i have a feeling it's really dear to them
