VN - Ren'Py - Hard to Love [v0.24] [Qori Gaming]

Yikes. This last update was ROUGH. I thought the first two updates were 5-star quality. The latest update puts the whole project in jeopardy. What happened to the English writing/editing team? The game went from one of the best on the site to borderline unenjoyable. The render quality has also taken a bit of a dive. The animation in the latest update is very clumsy and janky--it looks like three or four pictures looping.

Did a new team take over? Did someone important quit the project? WHAT ON EARTH?

In my last review, I wrote that if the project had ended there, it would already be a top-25 game on the site. It makes me sad to say this, but whatever the dev team paid the person who left the project wasn't nearly enough. The drop-off in quality is the worst I have ever seen on any project on this site.

Seriously WHAT HAPPENED?

First of all, I want to warn you that English is not my native language. I sincerely apologize if anyone is reading this and it's hurting a little. Sorry dude!

Version game: 0.02

This game is one of the most amazing novels of its kind that I have played. And I played a lot of games.

For me, the plot has never been a priority in a porn game. We come for porn first, right? For beautiful mothers, for lovely renders, poses, and only then for the plot. At least that's how it works for me.

So, probably here for the first time I really got into the story, which, in perfect proportion, also gave why everyone plays games of this genre.

From the fact that the characters are written insanely pleasant and interesting, you empathize, imbued with their past and present, and then you feel the sex scenes in a special way too.

I was so imbued with the relationship between Antonella and the MC that I practically did not burst into tears when I saw her in a dream at the beginning of the 1st chapter after the prologue.
IN THE PORN GAME DUDE! burst into tears! It's worth a lot.

Everything in the game is really beautiful: incest, the way the scenes are set, the dialogues, the story, the rendering. But there is one BUT that I still refuse to understand.

Can someone explain to me why in every game the protagonist has such a big dick? Here it is just unrealistically huge. I have a question for all the authors who do this kind of thing: Why? Well really, why? Do you all have some sort of inferiority complex? Or do you think it looks COOL? Why can't you make a dick of a normal size? Well, at least not that big. It spoils the immersion and is very corny. No matter how funny it is, but it is precisely because of this that this game will not become ideal for me, although I would really like it.

I wish the author success in the game, I hope it will not be abandoned.

I was skeptical at first due to it's early release but my god, what a game. I liked everything about this game, the models, the UI , the story everything. You can tell the developers put a lot of efforts to make this game just by finishing the prologue. It has everything that a person wants in a VN. I will be thrilled to see an update. Keep up the good work Qori

I wasn't expecting much from this especially cuz i found it randomly becuz of the modder but man this definitely blew my mind especially the 1st chapter.Now u can clearly see this is a quality project from the rendering & animations (very few) but they do carry a level of polish & finese. Hell just looking at the menu & options with the chibi drawings alone makes u realise the effort put into this
My fav part was the 1st chapter which was really heartwarming indeed i mean we all know such characters never exist in real life but the way their love blossoms kind of makes u wish they did
My main gripe is with the 2nd chapter cuz they introduce your youngest sister who is apparently younger than your daughter but when the daughter looks like a mid school student this 1 looks like college grad & to make things worse the 1st time u meet her in person she literally let's u fondle her boobs (pinch too) just like that.It would've been so much better if she was distant to u at 1st(come on u r a total stranger to her) but slowly change based on your interactions.Thats the fault here there is no character development every family member just wants MC for no apparent reason
The 1st chapter alone wanted me to give this a 5 as it had so much potential but after 2nd Ch I'm a little over the edge so we'll see how the dev decide to move from here on, but do keep an eye on this as it just might surprise u

Very interesting story. Beautiful characters, nice renders, locations are pretty detailed. Hope that I will play the complete version. Extremely eager to see more. A straight 5 stars from me. Fricking hell how much more I gotta write to post this.

Everything in this game is AWESOME!!!!

The models, renders and artwork are all top notch. The women are all of different sizes/shapes, hair colors, and somewhat different temperments.

The rest will probably have to be Spoilers:

The mom french kisses the adult son, after showing off her body and treating him as a surrogate husband while he was a teen. We don't yet know "who" the father of his youngest "sister" is. I'm certainly hoping that it's him.

In the Intro, the sister Amber confesses her love and tries to have sex with the MC. She pulls out his cock, tries to suck it and offers her virginity to him. I'm disappointed that he didn't agree at that time. Perhaps Dev can "adjust" that scene in future updates. It would make the story make far more sense.

It seems that his daughter was largely raised by his family while he was working in another town. Her mom was gone from nearly the time that she was born. So it seems that MC was an absentee father. And now the daughter may see MC as both father AND potential lover. But we have no indication of that so far.

And now we come to Madison, his youngest sister. She CLEARLY wants to make MC her man. But she plays silly games where she pretends that it's all "innocent fun" while she seduces him. She is also in competition with her sister Amber, for perhaps more than 1 thing.

I certainly hope that there is a Harem Option. I could easily write a scrip to make MC less resistant to the women who want him. He could easily supplant his dad and become Lover and Master to ALL of the women in his house. No telling how his police partner (and "current girlfriend?) would adapt to this situation.

The highlight of this game is honestly the very well done art rendering. The colors are extremely vibrant and every character looks alive. I'm not sure what to make of the story yet, since it's fairly short, but it appears to be about a widower who is going to fall in love with one of or all of the members of the family as he processes his grief. It's not that fleshed out yet, really. We'll see how that goes. Definitely worth a play.

incredible writing. Hard to love is has really unique story, with twists and turns, i got instantly get attached to the characters and their relationships. can not wait for the next update of the game, it is a must play.

I gotta say is damn this game looks great! also the story so far is pretty interesting, but the animation and art work is amazing, felt really good reading and interacting with the story and the characters, beautiful design for the lady's as well!

I love this game. The creator manages to hold the tension in a way I've rarely seen a VN and the plot has enough mystery to keep you going. The game drops you in the middle and you get some context through flashbacks, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions which have me very intrigued.

The renders and character designs are also great. Every person looks and feels distinct enough to be memorable but they also have enough similarities to make you believe they are a family. All of them behave like typical porn characters, but they have additional dimensions that make them interesting.

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 Incest story line
5/5 Renders
4/5 Hotness
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.
