VN - Ren'Py - Completed - House Arrest [v2.0] [TK8000]

V1.4

Holy shit! aside from the Illusion models I've come to despise (since I played most of their games anyway with far better graphic settings then the renders are done in), this game is fantastic so far. 1 star deducted for HS crap (actually the -1 is more for the dev not realizing that there's been mods for EVERY Illusion game to remove the watermark a screen cap gives) and yes, I understand that there's way more under the hood of this game then the screencaps, which is probably why it's a little cheesy (imho) graphically.
Having said that, it's a re-imagining of C's Ware (1997) game.

Reminds me of my neighbor refusing me sex till I told her I loved her. Damn shame they evicted her for not paying her rent, cuz she was about to crack, I wasn't. By the same token, I'm sure she was all on my jock cuz she needed a sugar daddy. Shit like that is real fucking life. If you disregard the instant results of your actions that this game presents, it's like talking to real ppl. everyone's got an angle and they all think they're smarter than their prey. Unless you're Japanese I suppose (I recommend watching the documentary "Love and Sex in Japan" (2016) )

Kudos to TK8000 for building the game in a logical manner. Some of you ppl in loving relationships & shit just won't understand this game, but I get it and I love it. 1 of the other reviews made me giggle like a schoolgirl at just how "picturesque" the poster's life must be. I bet they're too smart to be manipulated lmao (or blissfully ignorant).

I read the reviews before I dl'd too. Already thanked those I thought were most convincing to me.

Look if you're gonna condense months of manipulation and seduction into a couple of mouse clicks, THIS is how you do it. Fantastic work dude, I wish I could financially consider being a patron. I'd have to drop one though.

better than I thought it would be, but once I put 2+2, I kinda felt I was gipped. 99% of ppl here never even heard of C's ware or their tiny titles, but believe me, I still have the original.

Ending is totally derivative. Considering the C's Ware titles I'm reffering to are 20 years old, plenty of chance that noones even seen them.

Review for 1.2 By the way there is no real Incest - Thanks to Patreon
But we can pretend.

Usually I am quite harsh on my rating but this developer deserves extra marks not only is there a scene replay but also sandbox mode.

Great storyline with good dialogue - artwork is okay and the game is easy to navigate no walkthrough needed.

story isnt really realistic but i just love the MC. i was getting tired of characters which are the type of people to laugh when they hear the word "penis" in biology class. the game doesnt take itself too serious but its not like a parody or something. its just funny at times without trying to pretend to be realistic. sex scenes are on of the best, animations are awesome. never understood the hate for HS but i like it.
game doesnt waste your time with grinding bullshit.

The entire character of the MC is completely backwards to the intention of the game. The abusive approach is clumsy and totally unbelievable, either in terms of the MC actually accomplishing his alleged goals or with the main female character engaging with him in any way. The basic concept could be interesting but the bizarre personality of the MC makes it unplayable.

The game definitely doesn't deserve the low rating by one guy here, especially compared to the Kind of stuff that can get real high ratings here.

Like the devs other game, Sol Valley (High) House Arrest doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.

This is a porn game, with lots of humour, gross, even vulgar language (which is the only thing that is a slight put-off, otoh I think we all know girls and boys who talk like Alanna does,, so while insensitive, it's not actually unrealistic).

The devs makes the best out of the Honey Select Options possible. Interesting and varied animations, lots of good looking girls.
This might look a bit better with DAZ,, but the question is would it BE better? I think not.

There is enough romance/Story to satisfy you, if you like that, and there's tons and tons of sex in a lot of variations.
basically it's all M/F, M/F/F and F/F no bestiality or three-ways with two guys, which is how I prefer it tbh.

Good story. Decent dialogue and humor even with barely passable English. Scenes are very long but very readable. Assets not wasted in these developer's hands. Very fast progress. Lots of scenes, so many scenes. Lots of content. The switch flip with the MC is weird but actually believable.

The main draw in this game is the Alanna character and the ridiculously funny dialog. Normally, I really dislike Honey Select model games, but several of the female models are very attractive and, for once, we've finally found a game where HS's hideous male models works for the story perfectly with Joel.

Now, the spell checking and translation could use a bit of work, but the dialog in this game is truly its strong suit. Joel is simply so hilariously misanthropic, nearly every line he utters is comedy gold. After the initial introductory period, Joel and Alanna achieve a wonderful, genuinely funny chemistry.

If you enjoy a laugh along with your fap games, you really should put this on your list.

This is a very interesting game. This is more on the basis of an actual visual novel. The game is not challenging, but still conveys the story. I appreciated that this game actually had sound and animations. Out of alot of the other games that turned out to be a flop, this was a rose among the thorns.

i don't get the downvotes.

great writting, funny, voiced, animated, nice and unique models.

The MC is charismatic and the niece..

nice job

deserve a 5 easily, just for the animations + VA .

Side note, saves seems also well preserved overtime. Moved from 0.35 to 0.60 without issue

TL;DR
The game could be decent (3*) or even very good (4*)
The niece, keep calling MC Faggot & retarded, start to finish.

Models are good and have varieties.

All sex scenes are animated, but with Honey select i think. Wich make them kinda silly sometimes.

There is grinding stats, but they seems pointless.

The game pace is very high, and sexual content is also very high.

The pace is good, But the story doesn't really follow though it correctly.

____
Note that thoses "names" serve no purpose in the plot what so ever.
I'm pretty much okay with any kind of language if it make sense, and build character and develop them. But here it isn't the case.

These could be easly replace, by "limp dick", "beta," "idiot", and so on you get the idea. And lead to the extact same result. Is the dev a 12 years old ? that really made me wonder though my walkthough saddly.

If you aren't ever bother by that, i suggest you got for it. The game is decent once you go over that very bad point.

Saddly as it's from my POV it doesn't deserve more that a 2*.


It should be noted that the humiliation content(Of your niece) is pretty okay in this game. But could go way more "harder" given the kind of language the dev decided to use.

must Play for fap Lovers. People who like to Play love stories should avoid this

Great fucking game! very sexy. atm there are 3 Girls and all of them have h-Scenes but Spoilers: the main Girl has no Penetration sex with the mc and the neighbor has no h-Scene with the mc but you see her fucking her husband.

so the Girls in this game are all sluts. the 2 Young Girls will talk about how they are fucking every guy in their School. and as i already said you will see the neighbor fuck her husband. as a ntr/cuck/"sharing Girls in game while being a male mc" hater i have to say that i didnt' really care too much about it in this game. the whole Story and writing is pretty retarded (i use this word because it's this dev's fav word and he literally spamms it in this game) and the whole game isnt to be taken serious. also for ntr haters: the Bonus Album in the mainmenu will Show the maingirl giving a bj to some rdm nerd who isnt the mc, so avoid that if you dont like it.

there i no real grind in this game. there are 2 Scenes you get once she hits 100 stress but that only takes 30sec to get if you spamm skip.

what really makes this game great are the sexy Girls and the AMAZING SEX SCENES. very hot and fapable. remember to not press anything during the "Videos" or you will skip it.

other Things that i wasn't the biggest fan of was that the character of the mc wasnt very persistent throughout the game. by the end of the game he got kinda annoying imo. stop being a fucking bitch... also the writing tries too hard to be "edgy". Pacing isnt terrible for me, but im sure other People didnt like it.

but Overall i would say that this game is 100% worth checking out. the sex Scenes and animations are just too good not to Play. and yes all the other Things like Story and writing are pretty bad, but not bad enough to ruin my fun with this game.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs...


(01/24/2018 - Original Review - v0.35)

This is a mix of grind and visual novel, and although it is sex focused, it still has enough story to be interesting...

The visuals are 3D Hentai based, using Honey Select Studio... Same with the animations... The backdrops all look unique and creative...

The script is pretty good as i rarely ran into any spelling/grammar errors... Think of this visual novel/game is more like an Anti-Corruption game with story... The male protagonist and his sisters adopted daughter (not blood related) live together in a house, where he is under house arrest for 6 or so years... Most characters are already sexually corrupted in some ways, but the protagonist would like to find someone to actually settle down with... He still has sex a lot, but for him, it is just sex, no emotional attachment... The adopted niece starts off very selfish, and the protagonist wants her gone... But she convinces him to let her stay if she can change her ways and become less self centered and more like someone he would want to keep around...

The game play is basically different scenes played out, along with teaching/improving her different skills around the house... It does feel a bit sexist, but she seems somewhat willing to do her part with the house chores... Over time she actually begins to not think of him as a wallet with legs, but as a love interest... And she falls for him more and more as she tries to prove to him she is in love with him and not just doing it all to not get kicked out... And it takes a lot of convincing... There is a bit of grinding now and then to open up new content, as you promote her, once her skills become high enough, leading to more possible intertwined scenes...

I actually was amazed when what I thought were just separate events, this game will actually tie them together slightly, as you select the order of how they play out... That is a nice touch you don't see in a lot of these style of VN/games...

Overall, even though the game has a lot of sexy stuff in it, I found there was still meaningful story now and then... As it turns out, this VN/game is a bit of a love/romance story, with the corruption in reverse... The protagonist is not trying to corrupt the love interest, as she's already corrupt enough, and a lot of the times he actually shields himself from her advances... It's a very creative concept and I really applaud the author's for that... Now, this is still in development, and has a way to go if we base it's completion percentage off it's version number... But I do look forward to seeing more of this VN/game as time goes on... Keep up the good work...


(03/03/2018 - Review Update - v0.6)

The new content is up to speed with the prior content... There are some new twists, and we finally get to see the feelings between the protagonist and his adopted niece grow... The protagonist is still a giant pervert, but that is not much different from prior content...

Thus far things are chugging along at a steady pace for this game... Can't wait to see how things finally end up... I'll check back on this game when it's a lot closer to completion... Until then, again, keep up the good work...

well i played this game not knowning so much about it, and didn't have high hopes, but heck i tried it...i have to say good choice i made:

✓ Great visuals, really surpirsed
✓ Funny story and dialogues
✓ Sexy Alanna lol
- felt a little bit short
- removed incest
