    Personally, I’d really like to see Amelie consciously take that step in the next update and clearly express it — something like, “I want you to fuck me. I need you.” Please, not another “accident” where the MC slips in and she gives in just because it feels good. For me, it would have much more meaning and be far more erotic if she made that decision with a clear mind, simply because she desperately wants it.
    What would follow is the longest and most intense sex scene in the game so far (with different positions, please), both eventually collapsing into sleep from exhaustion, and in the morning Amelie wakes the MC with a blowjob and immediately gets back on top once he wakes up. That’s the kind of scene I’d love to see.
    Amelie is Best.

    This is my favorite game on this site.

    Not because it's flawless by any means, but because when it does something right, it does better than any other.

    I see some complaints about the slowburn etc etc, but i think that this game really stands out when it comes to the teasing and seduction, matter of fact, it's one of the few times when the writting not only works, but it's quite good.

    I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to see some real action, actually, I would like it as soon as possible, but I also appreciate good teasing scenes and this sexual tension growth between the characters. The game also succeeds in rewarding the player with a good first scene for whatever he was anticipating.

    PROS:
    - The best character ever made for a VN (Amelie, if you're somehow wondering)
    - Good progression with the sexual scenes regarding the main LIs.
    - Outstanding kissing scenes (something that is missing in most of these games)
    - 10/10 animations
    - Good writting when the conversations are somehow heart to heart
    - I just love how passionate the sex is in this game.

    CONS:
    - It's almost a kinetic novel, few choices matter besides minor dialogue changes. For instance, I would like to see some branching where Kylee romance were skippable and I could focus on a different approach with Stephanie, where she wouldn't be jealous or anything, but this doesn't exist because Kylee is not optional.
    - MC's dry humping horny dog behavior is lame and doesn't fit some other (mandatory) attitudes that he chooses.
    - Side characters are uninteresting.
    - The writting is bad often.
    -Kylee is not optional. (I could say that Amelie being not optional is also a problem, but who tf would skip Amelie? I don't even care how it would affect other relations when you're not being with Amelie all the time)

    Long story short, The PROS heavily outshines the CONS and this one is a must for people who likes the actual sex in a game and doesn't bother with too much attention for detail or requires some masterclass screenwritting for a sex game.

    It's a beautiful game.
    The creator of this game is amazing.
    Amelie is a very hot woman.
    I started playing this kind of game with milfofsunville.
    Sophie is very beautiful, but Amelie is truly number one.
    I can't wait for the new updates.
    Thank you so much.

    This is THE one AVN I’d go through fire for. While the developer can sometimes seem unreliable or vanish into the void (though right now his communication is the best it’s ever been since the AVN started), the quality of the work is undeniable. In terms of pure aesthetics, there’s no other AVN that can hold a candle to Heart Problems for me. Sure, I might be biased, since Amelie is my number one LI among all the other beautiful women — but even objectively, it’s hard to deny that the animations are crafted with a level of attention to detail that’s rarely seen.

    Even the moans and sex sounds are incorporated almost perfectly — something so many other AVNs fail at (cheap porn sounds, anyone?) or don’t even attempt, even though Heart Problems shows that it can be done! The story itself doesn’t have huge depth, but watching Amelie’s growing longing over time is an art form of its own. And while you could accuse the dev of blueballing since the MC still hasn’t had sex with her — the most important LI — Xenorav still manages to make every scene with her feel fresh and unique, keeping you fully engaged nonetheless.

    The updates often aren’t very long and still take a lot of time, yet there’s absolutely no filler material, and you never feel disappointed by their length. For me, this is the one masterpiece I’ve found among all the mediocre stuff out there. 5/5 almost doesn’t even do it justice.

    The fact that it hasn’t made it to at least the top 5 on the front page yet is honestly the biggest outrage.

    The best slow-burn renpy-3d-daz-incest type game ever, by a long shot. The renders, animations and framing are top notch and uniquely for these types of games, it is constantly sexy even in SFW situations by masterful posing, use of clothing, angles, etc to make even a fully clothed character look attractive - and the MC interacts very physically with these characters very frequently, even without actual sex happening

    Scenes are not simply a thing that happens and then you transition into reading boring text until the next scene, but a persistent thing with the MC constantly groping or peeping on the female chars eventually escalating into foreplay, intercrural, oral etc in a way that's very compelling. Once you start paying attention to this, it's weird how most other similar VNs are so anemic in comparison

    Overall the story is slow to progress, the dev clearly has some shit going on IRL, but the varied characters, excellent renders and animations are worth the weight. Very worth supporting

    This game, in my opinion, is an example of a game with a lot of potential, but terribly wasted.
    The renders are incredible, as are the design of the members of the 10-star house... the BAD thing is the update time. This game showed the system as abandoned, which was somewhat depressing since the MC's relationship with two of the house's protagonists was left unfinished.
    We'll see how it ends this time with the development of the relationship with the MILF.

    Hello, at first I found the quality of the images to be rather average, but over time they got better and better (I guess with increasing experience it just got better). The development of the interactions between the characters takes a while, but that's exactly what I like about it. That way, the relationship has time to develop.

    Really well-done scenes and the teasing is really awesome. Very hot, all the characters, especially Amelie, her daughters, but also... Lots of good shots, when they kiss, the animations are really hot.

    There's definitely room for improvement here and there, but I had a lot of fun with the game and can't wait for the next update.

    Hot as fuck!

    Giving Heart Problems v0.10 a 2.0 score. It could have been great, but ends up highly disappointing for the reasons I'll detail below. A post-game update for all 10 chapters follows at the bottom.

    Pros:

    + Good models and renders
    + Good environments
    + Has non-intrusive music
    + Personalities are colorful


    Cons: there are two that kill the entire game here..

    1) It's nothing but a huge teasing & blue-balling simulator. ~12+ hours in and the only thing the MC has had sex with is an overweight MILF. Over, and over, and over again - the game teases without actually getting anything from anyone. Kissing, rubbing, and the MC giving bits of pleasure to different women without ANY of them returning the pleasure. It's seriously fucked up, and not fun to play at all.

    2) The MC went down on his more mature sister, giving her the best orgasm of her life, and they were about to actually have sex (yes, they both wanted it). She ended up telling him no, kicking him out of her room, and blue-balling him without giving him any relief whatsoever. Not a handjob, not a blowjob... nothing. It forced him to have to finish himself in his own room.

    It's this kind of crap that ruins AVNs unless you're a huge masochist who gets off on women telling you what to do and when to do it. I'm at the point now that if the game doesn't give me the option to literally torture the sister that blue-balled the MC, I'm simply going to exit out, and uninstall it. She doesn't deserve squat anymore, not after what the dev had her do.

    tldr; enough teasing and blue-balling in this one to kill a fully grown bull. 2.0 as a result - only play if you're a masochist.

    Update:
    Finished all 10 chapters (I sucked it up and pushed past the endless teasing). The game got better after chapter 5 or 6 when LIs started actually pleasing the MC for a change. Around chapter 8 or 9 it felt more like a regular AVN, though some LIs (like the MC's step-mother) still wouldn't give in, despite having relations 15 or more times. Nudging the final score up to 2.0 as a result.

    It's unfortunate the author had to use teasing and blue-balling so much and for so long in the first half+ of the game, as I can see that really driving a lot of people away. As a side-note: use a walkthrough/cheat mod to push love/lust up unnaturally - playing it without one can cause a lot of scenes to be skipped.

    The game’s okay, but why’s there gotta be a little kid in it who’s definitely not 18? Gross af and weird. It would’ve been way better with just the woman and the milf. No need to add creepy, weird stuff like that. Can’t support anything involving minors in that way.

    One of the best. I keep searching for similar games but, sadly, I don't find many... I love the relationships that slowly develop and the characters' personalities. The story is also quite well written. In short, I recommend it!

    Well, renders are good and there's some kind of story deep down somewhere but that's all the good things you can say about this game.
    The main bad thing - relationships are forced. It doesn't matter if you like your (MC's) aunt or not - she's LI and no one cares about your opinion. Even if you choose every time that you want to have nothing with your aunt (literally, I always chose the worst choice) you're still ends with her as LI. Your two cousins too but I never tested them, they're actually looks (and behaves) nice and I like them as LIs. But it doesn't matter too. Everything isn't matter here but dev's opinion. Whether is this or that girl is your LI or whereever you (MC) want to cum - dev chooses everywhere. So that's not VN, that's kinetic novel. 'Cause there's no real choices here, dev tells us a story ans everything else doesn't matter.

    Version 0.10:
    I'm not going to waste your time. If you want to play a game where you kiss and grind on pretty girls with decent sex animations, then play it and have fun. And stop reading this review.

    For the people who care about everything else an AVN is supposed to offer, I'll try to keep this short.

    I've played up to Chapter 7 and read the last 60 reviews on this game, trying see what everyone else was seeing, but ultimately, that was pointless. I was gonna write a detailed, much longer review discussing the importance AVNs offering good graphics, writing, and narrative flow, working together in harmony. But at the risk of sounding like a "f95 redditor", whatever the fuck that means, I found that pointless too. So, here we go.

    I could not immerse myself in the world, the MC, or with the Love Interests because the game's writing just actively pushed me away or never afforded me the opportunity. Originally, I was just going to uninstall after a few minutes and move on without a review at all, marking this down as another game not for me. But with a 4+ star rating and 300+ reviews? I just couldn't let this go. Reviews like "Animations are great! Everything else sucks tho [5/5]" are just not okay... As I played this game, two words kept popping into my head: "Shallow" and "Incoherent". I think those describe it best.

    The artwork is stunning with delicate linework and vibrant colors. High-quality animation crafted with attention to every detail, conveying emotions and atmosphere so vividly it’s worth rewatching. :love::love:

    In terms of Animation quality this is the highest quality ever created for a VN. It literally sets the bar. Think your favorite Twitter artist that makes really high quality blender stuff, that is this games animation. And there are A LOT of them. The models are superb, all extremely sexy. The milf especially, for me.

    The story won't win any awards, it's very basic. But it's what I prefer and find sexy.

    You'll probably see a lot of the reviews on here that are 1-3 stars talking about the story. I like to call them f95 redditors. Get something amazing, and they will only talk about the flaws to the millionth power.

    If you are looking for a classic IC story VN with 2025 quality, this is as good as it gets.

    On the top. But updates takes long. The character are well built the milf is one of the finest. Currently my favourite. The quality is best. Only issue dev ghosts for months and no development update. The game checks your patience. Till V10 no penetration with the milf.

    I played an early version two years ago, and the heroine's appearance back then was incredibly original and impressive. What's also commendable is the significant improvement in animation and background detail.

    I have to admit, as an Asian, I really like the author's aesthetic for clothing and body proportions; the overall look is natural and realistic, and incredibly soft and beautiful, something most similar games can't surpass. I'm certain the author's abilities can definitely surpass "FreshWomen," all they need is funding and support. I'm very much looking forward to future updates!!!

    BTW, although the relationship names can be changed freely in the text dialogue settings, the preset dialogue method still makes it obvious that they are uncle and aunt.

    This is a pretty good game, specially until about chapter 7, then it loses some points. The reason for this has to do mainly with the story, up to that point its been doing a well-developed build up and it has a few plates spinning with interest. But from that point on a lot of it has already been done, and it quickly turns into a fuckfest without much else going to keep the story interesting, so I started skipping through and reading here and there. Choices didn't matter much up until then, but they literally dissapear from chapter 7 onwards, turning this into a kinetic novel. Characters are decently developed, even if Stephanie is quite unrealistic and over-the-top, and writing is decent as well.

    Render quality is pretty high, and character models are great and diverse. Animations are on the basic and shorter side, but there's a lot of them, so they end up making pretty good sex scenes with a lot of kissing (which is something I particularly enjoy). Too much POV for my taste though, but there's enough 3rd person to make up for it. Sounds are scarce, I turned off the music so can't comment on that, and I found no bugs on my playthrough.

    So, all in all, a pretty solid and good game. Very enjoyable and with a lot of content.

    7 chapters in, I need to ventilate about the elephant in the room , and it is not the alien size boobs and butts that seem spreading like the flu in the AVN world. No it is the cringy feeling i get , EVERYTIME the MC is forcing himself onto the MILF character ! PLEASE !!! how many time do you need a 'NO' ? Scene after scene , chapter after chapter she is not confortable with the gropyness of the MC, and still EVERY scene ends up with tongue kisses and getting groped untill, she says 'NO WE CANNOT DO THIS ' I get that it is an evolution in the plot line. BUT more than 5 chapters long ???? This is just 3 bridges too far after restraining order city . F$*%. Another point that makes me -at least me- feel like a enormous twat , is the fact that every scene in which the MC declares 'I love you' is immediately followed up with him smooching another housemate. It just leaves you feeling like numbing and cheating adventure. If you want any respect left for the character you are playing at least let some of the characters know that they should not be feeling that special, cuz you're humping around like a blueballed grasshopper with his last day of pussy on this earth. The girls are loveable, likeable well written. The MC is just a Dick imo.

    This game is very good, and heavy leaning to ass fetish (that's one like me)
    About the story ... I don't even need to care that much, just closest thing come to "Alabama". And you know what - a good porn game should do porn best, everything else is just secondary. Bad porn - good story still a bad porn game.
    I usually go to the game, play for 30 mins, feel a bit story and then when "that" happen, I do my thing, call it a day and go to sleep. Do it for days and eventually the game finally end, feel good every time.
