Others - Completed - Hypnotic-Family Planning S [v1.03] [tanedukeitinengo]

Lots of setup for a mixed result.

Lets start with the tags:
-Incest: The MC is a completely unrelated rando who uses a magic phone app to rewrite himself into the family. depending on the app settings he can be the father, son, or holy ghost (just a stranger). The family dose have a few lez scenes together as well as some group.

-NTR: This is netori. the game warns you that NTR will happen and you need to buy insurance to prevent it. This is not the case. it is pretty much just a gameplay feature to punish your wallet.

Now Onto Basic Gameplay Loop:

3 Actions Per Week-4 Weeks Per Month- Game Lasts 1 Year

The hypnosis app is based on a monthly subscription service. you can purchase new plugins to gain access to additional content. You work jobs (Blue Outline) to gain funds but that will lower public order. You volunteer (Yellow Outline) to increase order.
if order falls too low you will be hit with NTR insurance and have money added to your monthly bill

The Cast:
There are 21! Girls (and 1 trap) to Corrupt.
increase corruption (Heart icons) to lower their Mental Resistance with the end goal of knocking them up at 0. Depending on the girls relationships with each other, you may arouse suspicion when increasing corruption. This also adds to your monthly bill. some planning may be required to corrupt these before focusing on your primary target.

Try to balance your funds and public order to corrupt the girl of your choice without raising undue suspicion!

Very grindy game with poor translation. It's hard to know what the scenes are unless you have already done them. The scenes were alright for the most part. If you don't like censored stuff I would suggest to give it a pass.

An interesting premise ruined by poor execution and game design.

The menus are a mess, the mechanics are unclear and poorly explained: mostly due to the translation, which is not bad, but doesn't make much sense in certain areas.

The gameplay is basically clicking here and there to trigger events, but how these events affect the world is almost impossible to know until the girls are getting assaulted: which almost never happens due to the NTR guard: never thought I would ever read something like that.

Getting money is not hard, but comes with the issue of lowering the morality of the town, which triggers the assaults and rapes of the females.

Long story short, the game would have been great if they didn't try to shove 100 different mechanics and tutorials down your throat and had instead focused on improving on the core gameplay, the hipnosis and the money gathering.

Not worth the squeeze!

I'll start of with the positives. I'm kind of fond of the art style, it can be a little rushed in places, but I think it's good for this game. There also seems to be a lot of content, but that's it. Those are the positives. Onto the negatives...

I don't think I've ever played a game worse than this and I mean that sincerely. There are worse games out there, but this one somehow manages to fail at every job that it's trying to accomplish when it comes to gameplay.

I can summarize it simply: You can almost perfectly simulate this game by getting an image library of this game, sprinkling in a massive pile of bad lines from incest visual novels at a ratio of twenty more lines than you'd think is necessary to read between each new picture and scrolling through that library while pressing the buttons on a remote controller randomly in between a few lines of text.

And I'd argue you'd get a better gaming experience doing that.

Rest of this review is just my first impressions during the tutorial. If you want some enjoyment out of this game, my suffering should be significantly more than the game itself has to offer.

This game has possibly the worst tutorial out of any game I've ever played. Skipping the tutorial and going trial and error would be preferred over this, holy shit. Seriously, mouse over a button and get a text box that tells you what the button is would be JUST fine for vast majority of them.

And the subscription upgrade system aside, there's literally nothing that unique to need the tutorial for and even that one is just "upgrades last a month" or something like that, I don't know, I was fucking overwhelmed by information and now I have a headache. I don't recommend playing this with while sick, the information overload is real and everything it teaches you is not worth teaching like this.

To quote the damn game... "...Phew, I'm tired from hearing so much at once." I'm fucking done. Whoever made this has no appreciation or understanding of game design, just make a damn visual novel if you don't want to bother designing a game. Can you believe this wasn't the end of the tutorial and just the end of the pre-recap recap?

I decided to give it another try, which was the worst mistake I've made in ages, by a significant margin, since that wasn't the end of the pre-recap recap. That was the end of the pre-second tutorial pre-recap recap. After that, I finally got to the game itself, and it's somehow so bland that I'd rather write this review for my sexual gratification. It's that bad. Do not play this game, the designer doesn't know what game design is.
