RPGM - Home Prisoner [Ep. 3 Update 2] [Inqel Interactive]

Man, this game was a surprise. So far it's just the begining but seems to be a really horror story being formed. Renders a good and characters are deep. One valid point is, in the game the mobility is intentionally slow. not need to say the reason so there's not a vallid complain someone could put over this aspect. It just make you feel a little in MC's skin

I really enjoyed what there is to play so far, I didn't expect a RPGM game to feel this modern because i usually don't like this engine but i was surprised!
It's a hidden gem for sure, very slow paced at the start but i like that, certainly has more impact than many other games i played on this forum and i love it.

I hope the developer is ok and safe and that this game will not be abandoned outright but since i read that the dev is from ukraine it's understandable...
It shows a lot of potential that's for sure.

Good renders, good animation, the gameplay is not something of other world, is a common RPG game. The story is pretty interesting, with a good amount of drama and future NTR.
What I hate is that is a RPG game, the animations when a character walks take years to end, they walk really slow, the text is really slow too even when you skip it.
And no really sexual content at the moment, the MC and the "Villain" gropping his wife and I think that is all.

Maybe because MC had a cold attitude, i didnt really felt sad for him, which made the experience more bearable for me. Sure NTR itself is a hard to swallow genre but even it can be toned down a bit for a larger audiences. It builds up so much that you suspect if its going to be an incest game in the end, currently it goes into exact opposite direction.

Didnt liked the RPGM gameplay especially with no journal, no marker, no telling where should we go in some cases, but at least there arent many places to go.

Overall, a neat NTR to play especially in current NTR drought in the forum. It will only keep getting better in future i suppose. I wish more 'enemy' characters included too, we'll see...

It's a new type of Ntr game with a lot of interactive scenerios. The creator is not afraid to hurt feelings with his storyline of a man on a wheelchair getting cuck. Also the wife and daughters are all very beautiful and smart so it will be exciting to see what methods the creator will use to corrupt them. All in all I hope Inqel stays true to the same style.

Version: Episode 2 Beta 0.40a
------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

This is one of those very few NTR games that NTR-lovers wait years for. It is one of those very unique and special gems that you search and hope to find while filtering f95zone and only finding trash. Sadly this great corruption/NTR story, featuring exactly the right amount of beautifully rendered female characters, has a big downside: The gameplay and the technical problems sadly totally destruct the experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking a closer look:

Gameplay
This is where things get ugly. The game is a mixture of a freeroaming game and a visual novel based on the RPGM engine. While that itself does not need to be something disqualifying, the implementation is the real problem here. The game is totally not optimized from a technical and QoL point of view. I experienced heavy FPS drops, slowing the game down significantly. Also you cant fast forward or skip anything. These things make it a nightmare to navigate through the game itself and it is really sad to see, as this might be the only bad point of this game. But its impact is so heavy that it overshades everything else. I really hope the devs start to work on this, otherwise this game will remain an unplayable mess.
This section will be rated very negatively (--).

Content
Atm this game does not have a lot of content to offer. There are some harassment, groping and voyeur scenes but thats it for now. For the very short amount of time that is playable there is a lot to discover though, and the devs also made a lot of assets and stuff for the RPGM world. Thats quite unique I gotta admit!
This section will be rated neutral.

Art
The art in this game is absolutely beautiful. The renders are high quality and the different characters have a unique touch. Also the developers have an eye for good poses and positioning. The RPG Maker itself is comepletly reskinned with new assets and you dont even have the feeling of playing an RPG. You really feel that the devs put A LOT of emphasis on the design and art in this game and there is a lot of love for each detail. Astonishing!
This section will be rated very positively (++).

Story
The story is exactly what I as a long time NTR fan waited for. It features an awesome base for a great corruption/NTR story, and the beginning was already quite promising. Even though the english isnt the best and some minor parts arent translated, it already starts to do its magic.
The progression of the story works very well; you get introduced to the background of the family, get some sweet family moments and story input. Then the antagonist appears and slowly crawls into the family and love life of the MC. The game doesnt fall to common mistakes many NTR games make, such as instant corruption, sex and so on and rather takes its time with a slow corruption (featuring harassment and groping) whitout beeing boring or too slow (not AWAM-style).
The characters feel different and the different relationships also have their unique touch.
This aspect will be rated positively (+).

Adult and pornographical aspects
Sadly there is not a lot of content here yet. Mainly there are two bigger scenes with the antagonist (featuring groping and harassment) and several very small scenes with the MC. Those are done very well and I cant wait to see more.
This topic will be rated positive (+).

Development progress
Cant say a lot here. The game got released and we got one update so far. We will have to see. The dev seems to communicate with the community here on f95.
This section is rated neutral.

Recommendation?
Thumbs up for NTR lovers in search of a good game - but not for immediate digestion, rather to keep an eye on.

Fap you very much?
Mhh... not enough material yet.

Future sight:
This game has huge potential. People are craving for good NTR games as there are far to few. Still atm the gameplay is a huge turn off and sadly has such an impact on the game that I see no other way for the devs then to immediately work on the technical aspects or this game will never shine as it could. People will just give up playing it.
So there is a lot of potential, but not without fixing these huge problems concerning the gameplay.

Last words:
I really would love to see this game shine in the future. I am really not sure whether the bugs/technical problems concerning the RPGM engine can be fixed. If not - its going to be a big downside and problem and I dont know whether it wouldnt be better to switch the games engine to Ren'py. If the devs on the other hand actually manage to fix this and the game runs fluently and without any problems and with fastforward/skip options, then there this game really has the chance to get a place in the olympus of NTR games.

Seemed like a good game... the developer has clearly put a lot of work into it as this is the best RPG Maker game I've ever seen (graphically), I can barely tell it's even an RPG maker game but I can't finish it. It's too frustrating... the game is poorly optimised so many of the rooms randomly drop you to 10 FPS and it's not fully translated so sometimes the characters speak in (russian?) and it's also in the option menu

I really want to rate it 5 stars... I think the games downfall is the fact that the developer seems to be a bit too optemistic and is trying to make it seem like a great game which is generally not a bad thing sadly it doesn't work that way and while it looks great it just makes me miss Renpy alternatives

Well, I was planning to give it 3/5 stars due to transitions. But it would be unfair the tank the ratings of a game which holds so much potential.

According to me below are Pros and Cons of this game for ver.1.01:

Pros:
1. Beautiful Renders
2. Likeable and reaslistic characters
3. Music is awesome
4. Story looks very promising
5. Can be built around having multiple good and bad routes. which can be darker or lighter.
6. Choices will matter.

Cons:
1. It's RPGM. There are limitations to this Engine compared to a RENPY game.
2. The scene transition is extremely slow (the biggest CON)
3. The game slows down considerably at locations like windows and stairs.
4. Proof reading needed a bit in English.
5. No pointers as in what to do next to progress story.

That's all for this version. This game has potential become one of the best. A NTR revenge story could be very spicy.

Wow. I like it. This seems like an adult story. Without the typical boy who fuck left and right. Keep the pace without exaggerating the unfold. Keep the tension. Possibly a classic. After episode two, if you go like that, you have a new patreon. Good luck.

I am very excited about the beginning and am looking forward to the update. So far, I like everything very much, except for some bugs and the inability to skip some scenes, which takes a very long time. In the future, this is probably the best NTR game

This has the potential to become an amazing ntr game. I decided to support the dev because I really want to see where this is going. The rating is also based on what I think/hope the game will become, and not purely on its current content.

The renders look good (for an RPGM game) and it has an original and believable story. There is also a decent amount of content for the first release. The sprites are nicely animated but so far the renders / cutscenes contain no animations.

What I liked most about the game are the characters. They look sexy and cute, but most of all they have a realistic personality that goes beyond 'just want sex all the time'. The father doesn't lust after his daughters from the first moment and the family members act like they're an actual family. That was refreshing for a porn game.

The biggest downside at this moment is the gameplay. It's decent, but everything is extremely slow. Moving around the house takes ages and the dialogue is displayed with a 1 second pause between each sentence, which makes especially the unskippable conversations with your youngest daughter painfully long. I hope the dev will look into that for the upcoming updates.

This game has a long way to go, but i feel it has promise, it made me laugh so many times from the dialog exchange between characters, i hope it goes further, and develops correctly without any "weird spins" and i think this will be a great game, the renders are awesome, a bit more speed would be good for the game but i think there are cheats for that or ways around it, cant tell, but overall i really enjoyed the first episode, so don't knock it till you try it, and hopefully the dev does a good job updating the game on time.
