RPGM - Home Prisoner [Ep. 4 Up.1] [Inqel Interactive]

The game has some very important bugs.
The game is very slow.
The game is very slow paced.
It claims you have certain options but all it does is bullying you at every step, you are prisoner of its plot.
It claims you have choices but those choices dont affect what is going on in any noticeable way, if they do at all.
It doesn,t have hooks that make you play this game with a mindset of "adult oriented" entertainment.
The plot needs one of the characters to be insanely dumb for it to progress according to its roadmap, in this case the wife is beyond salvation, and the Mc doesnt do enough, even if the player wants to, to counterbalance all that stupidity. It doesnt do casue the dev doesnt give you the option.
And you need stocmach if you are Cringe intolerant,

The writing is good when it is not unconvenient for the plot, but dont tell me that someone can be hired for that kind of job without an interniew, cause schedules, routines, rules, nothing is discussed during that "interview" dinner, and the guy asks about all the women on the house, even claiming wanting to meet them, which is out of the job description, but doesnt ask even once about the patient.
In a job interview for that kind of job everyone with 2 neurones is would be on high alert, specially with 2 girls living in the house, and those claims from him would be red flags for any mother, and reasons for the father to unlock the gun cabinet.

I have more than enough reasons to think that this game is not worth the time, and the, cause it is the player who is a prisoner.

Graphics is good, but it feels like a story-clicking-simulator.
Too many unneccecary animations. (ex. daughters walking around table to give pressents) Characters walkingspeed is painfully slow.
Movement keys set to arrowkeys instead of wsad.
Also some of the text is in russian.
Wayyyy to much story to be clicking through.
I clicked soo much that I missed a question and didnt know what I was answering to.
I'm a bit in to episode 2 and so far nothing interesting..

I want to express that this game unquestionably deserves recognition as a top-tier masterpiece. Its artwork, interactivity, storyline, narrative buildup, and pacing are all absolutely first-rate. Developed on a modern RPG game engine, its progress might be slow and updates infrequent, but the exceptional quality is undeniable.

I've supported the project through multiple membership periods and have admittedly expressed frustration about the update pace and content volume in the past. However, upon replaying recently, I was struck by the unparalleled level of detail woven throughout the experience.

When this game is finally completed, I am fully prepared to wire the dev team an amount equivalent to a premium AAA game's deluxe edition price. My sincere hope is that the developers see this message. I desperately want this incredible project to reach its conclusion. We never know what the future holds ("tomorrow is never promised"), and bringing this potential genre-defining #1 game to fruition carries immense historic significance and honor.

I firmly believe many players share my sentiment and willingness to pay a premium upon completion. Rewarding outstanding work with voluntary additional support creates a powerful, positive cycle for creators and the industry alike.

Edited from 4 to 3 stars.
Updates are minuscule when compared to the wait time

Pros: Pretty good so far. Unique story and Mc.
Beautiful Female protagonist. Over all very well done.

Cons: there is very little content as of now.
A little difficult to grind. (The hint page is not as useful).


Looking forward to this.

I really don't understand the high rating, I was expecting a good game, at least with few bugs, but this game has gamebreaking bugs, in first episode it has a bug after the stairs exercice, it softlock the player, I had to skip the entire thing and in the second capitule it happened again.
I don't even mentioned other minor problems, like, it's too dark, it was unskippable cutscenes that is pointless to watch, sometimes the options doesn't appear.
If they fix the game in the future I wold give another chance, but still unplayable in the current version.
(It shoud have a VN tag, its a complete linear history with a pontless open world).

I played that game some really long time ago, probably in Ep 1 and I gave up.
But now with episode 2 and 3, it's really great. I love that the story devlopps slowly. And we have a really nice one for netorare lovers, being able to make choices that leads our prota to loose confidence etc really love the story.

Some people are complaining about the "gameplay" and the game being on RPGM, I don't have any problem with that, quite the oposite, for a game with only one location, I find that's it a good choice. My problem would more be that the gameplay is quite inexistant like u just go from one room to another, to trigger the events, and sometimes u get a QTE. But I don't even care, like we won't had equipement, fights into that kind of game, so it's fine.

Otherwise as I said I love the story, that it devlops slowly, I love where it's going, even if I feel like we don't need side characters as Richie, Jerome is enough I think.
But one negative point, and a big one, is the devloppement speed, like I had forget this game, and I checked the patreon, the episode 3 was starring to devlop in early 2024, and it just finished, I think it's way too long for the content. Like yeah there is some nice renders, and even some animations, but like in almost a year is way too poor content.

I hope that this year the devlopper dedicate more time to his game, and gives more content in shorter time, if so I would be happy to become a supporter, but at the current speed I won't.

really good story.
creators should add more locations into the game apart from the house and manybe some side characters which will make sense to the main story.
main story should evolve around the wife.
there should be a bigger update on the next one. at the moment it looks like game has just started.
I really like the idea of this game which things are going really slowly. this really adds depth to the game .
animations also look great which is really import for the game.

Its really, REALLY not good. The dev clearly put alot of effort into the "story", the map/movement, transition effects, everything. But they forgot WE TRYIN' TO BEAT OUR MEAT. You know, the porn part of porn games? Like I'm not trying to play The Last of Us, I'm trying to beatus thy meatus.

The movement is god-awfully clunky and terrible, RPGM would have been 1000x better and I'm not even a huge RPGM fan.

The game babbles on and on and on and...... none of the writing is good or engaging.

It lacks absolutely any basic game options every other game has. Text skipping, message speed, the usual.... it has none.

I have no idea how it has even close to a decent score, this is legitimately one of the worst games I've ever played on this site.

This game has been in development for 3 years and has "ZERO" exciting adult content. Yes, a 3-year-old adult game and zero engaging adult content. The gameplay is really one of the worst, most incomprehensible, disgusting gameplay I've ever seen in my life, it's like a TORTURE, just designed to tire you out and make you feel like you've spent too much time in the game. This is how the dev tries to compensate for the lack of content. It is absolutely unclear what to do. You wander around an empty map for hours and hours and what you get in return is a big "ZERO". It's like Developer is mocking people. And also, there are constant bugs in every update. Absolutely unplayable.

I really don't recommend this game. Don't play it. Don't waste your time. There are hundreds of better games.

You WILL be bored even before the end of the prologue.

It starts painfully slow with the worst engine possible means the text you have to read pops up all over the place, types slowly and is interceded by slow transitions. The superfluous writing means theres a LOT of it too and it tries to be mysterious.

The controls are absolutely awful making it absolutely miserable to play. with a house that doesn't connect together at all

The visuals are ok, after the first 10 mins of the prologue anyway, but the majority of you will quit before you get that far.

MC actively avoids any intimacy and ruins all the scenes

As a second chance, to see if the high reviews are just liars I skipped to episode 3 and it just gets worse. NTR with some black guy and then a 'sex scene' with the horrible wife thats turned into a miserable minigame of button bashing and the MC risking his families safety by letting a rapist move in and be abusive towards him. Just save yourself time and skip this 'game'

The plot is original and very vicious. The corruption is clever, it gives an eloquent context and does not rush things. The characters are well-developed and credible, and special mention for Stephanie, very successful. The dialogues are very good, I really like Jérôme's perverse metaphors. Predators flock to a vulnerable family. The wolves are in the sheepfold.

Well, let's start from the good....

Good is the set up of the plot... Cripple that cannot fuck the wife and two beautiful daughters...and of course Jerome...

What is bad.... Everything around it, the pace of development, the quality of the game mechanics, the inexistent eroticism, the lack of a journal.

The game seems empty, soulless, just waiting some trigger to happen.

Bad!!

I just can't recommend this game right now, there's just too little to do.
Ep 1 is just an hour-long exposition dumb that ends in a situation that seems like it will lead to something.
Then in Ep 2 nothing really happens, just a sex scene with your wife that ends in the middle.
And Ep 3 has pretty much nothing right now.
Furthermore, I just did not enjoy these interactive elements, it felt forced and unnecessary.
Overall, I did not enjoy my time with this game. Maybe that will change in the future, but right now it just falls flat.

It all has been said already, the story premise is very workable, but the RPG factor, and the snail pace yet small updates brings this crashing down. An actual honest review from a fellow pervert is to wait for a hero to convert this to Renpy.

excessively slow, awful to play and barely any content, the story is ok and have good inmersion and characters but rate this with 5 stars beyond crazy...it needs a lot of improvements or fully rework to be enjoyable...

The world building and atmosphere seems to be exactly what the dev intended. The game feels nice and innocent while also foreboding as the story unfolds. This creates tension in the game as the player is left to decide how the story unfolds in their predicament. I really hope dev is able to complete this one.

This is one of the most unique NTR games that is made by RPG Maker, its still in early development so not a lot of content but is shaping up to be one of the best NTR games that involves his wife and 2 innocent daughters. Game has no loading time at all, going between rooms is instant, the renders are one of the best I've ever seen. If you're an NTR slow corruption fan this game is a must!

Production value is good but only if you are using RPGM as a standard. The atmosphere is pretty might have been a decent story even as a non NSFW game, however at the state its in its barely a NSFW and more of a wheelchair simulator. There is endless loading and doors as if its resident evil 1 or starfield. You might think while playing that its a slow burn, but there is so much minigame and wheeling around but no pay off. Honestly would not recommend if you are looking for a porn game

This is not a "slow burn", this is a no burn. Its a glorified wheel chair simulator written by a shoegazer who could probably fap at a funeral. If I am going to be made to roll around a house with more rails than a train yard then at least make it interesting; give me some ramps or a turbo boost or something. You also stare at your sleeping daughters a lot, which is eh? The graphics are really good for RPGM, but other than that you may as well save yourself the dissapointment. If you download this for free then you have still overpaid. Swipe left.

I am most thrilled that the Dev could continue with this potenially masterpiece.

The game so far has 3 parts (episodes) after the 2nd the Dev had some difficulties. Thus he had put on hold.

It has everything a fantastic H game could ask for:

Speaking of the daughters the game is quite the unique by having a kind of family netorare thing also the daughters not just the wife.

As review I have mention the some nuisances too. The controls during scenes where the player has to spam the up/down/side arrows are quite nerve-wreckingly long. I suggest, either removing this mechanic or reducing how long these take. Takes away the enjoyability of CGs.

Most certainly worth the patience.
Dev, please don't rush this project. Take your time, focus on the quality like before.

+ A Request from this follower of the game, would you try to add later on, along the NTR, a "neutral" / "good" path for the game. Nothing complicated just a quick, realistic ending, eg. MC calls the police on "Caretaker" / Wifetaker and they arrest him before anything gruesome happens.
Even better if there would be multiply police ending choices during the game for the diversity of the plot.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy netorare but I prefer it being not very two-dimensional and I am all for the players liberty to choose the fate of the characters, even if the main content remains the NTR.
