People can say what they want but this has that realness you want in a VN and its funny to boot and seems to have a good story going for it so it will probably be in my top list
Seconded. Also lost wife young and have an anxious son, so I can really relate to the dreams and the school problems. The way Denise sees herself is so spot on that I'd be shocked if Dev doesn't also have an anxious kid. I'd love to see an alternate version free from daughter/ward molestation just to see a happy ending for the girls.

Actually had a good laugh about the chocolate starfish, and the whacking the rat over the "head"

@naughtyroad I'm now a fan of this game so I'll follow this. The girls are real, adorable, and have their personalities so the immersion is more "real". Don't change a damn thing. I do find them compelling and attractive since I'm no stranger to Native Americans, Middle Eastern refugees, and had a long time babysitter as a kid who is Roma (she is actually quite pretty).
Now, I only have one question and it's about routes... is there an ending with one ward only and an ending with both? Would it make sense make a route focusing on the oldest, one route on the youngest, and another trying to balance both? And about the side characters? Do they affect the routes with the wards?

They're not actually ugly, they just have prominent noses. I'd almost suggest a "big nose" fetish tag lol.

And to the rest of you trying to make snide comments about the ward's attractiveness, you can take your thin, skinny, broken, dirty, nasty model types with you. I prefer "real" women. Not that tired stereotype of image-obsessed, impossibly built white whores.
Let's do this.. if you have a complaint about the ethnicity and appearance of the wards, how about you just leave the thread quietly and never come back? And I'll tell you up front that if you leave a comment about "ugly" or "eww", it will either be ignored or you will be flamed. And if you gotta keep saying it, I will step in.
So if anyone consistently complains about the models in this game, just report them and we'll take care of it on a case by case basis.

Ok, played it. Yes the writing is really nice and and it has its own charm. I still dont like the look of the girls, but it is entertaining enough to turn a blind eye or two.^^
And I really appreciate the down to earth setting without all the stuff mentioned in the dev note.

Good question. So, this may be getting too much in sausage making territory (as in eat it, don't see how it's made) that it may put you off, but here goes:
In my mind, the wards are very much two sides of a coin, almost like a two halves of a complete person, and much of the development I've mapped out for them is about them driving events, with the PC trying to play catch-up. They have minds of their own and are not waiting around for the PC to coin them up.
It sort of comes from my dissatisfaction with a lot of romance-your-household stories out there where there's in essence three or four complete strangers living in the same house that you all romance and/or corrupt but they all have zero interesting interactions with each other, which makes complete sense from sausage-making point of view because keeping track of so many different possible combinations of would-do-hers and won't-do-hers is absolute hell.
So, bit of a tangent here, feel free to skip this paragraph: I mean look at the wonderful Melody by MrDots, I get the shakes just thinking about how much content I'm locked out of by picking a particular set of romantic interests, I can't imagine how hard it must be being the person (people?) writing and rendering out so much beautiful stuff that only a small portion of the players will see on their first play through (which for a significant portion of the player base, will likely be their only). I mean, I'm just ticking relations on and off in the cheat menu as the scenes queue up, just to make sure I get to see as much as I can of the characters I find interesting without shooting myself in the foot.
Back on topic: I'm not sure yet if I can somehow make a clean path for just one of them without having to basically write three completely unrelated stories for each path. I mean, I really want to offer the option, but it sort of depends on how the story writes itself if I can do so in a manner that makes sense, or if it's just a "skip interaction" button prior to each encounter (which I wouldn't want to do, really).
I am planning to have the coworker as alternative romance option, but that particular route is going to be well less developed than the wards route. It intertwines with and affects the wards route though and is an integral part of the storyline, but how deep the PC is willing to get involved is completely up to the player.
And who knows, maybe I'll make @ThunderRob happy and throw an option to skip town with Spike somewhere along the way.
But, I will probably not be introducing an hot aunt or a horny best friend in the second act, unless it makes very good sense story-wise, because it'll just stretch out the game without adding meaningful content, and makes more sense in a grinder/dating sim, which this isn't.

Why?
Why did you have to mention this?
Why?
Now I can't help but imagine a hot aunt into this already wonderful game! It just stuck into my mind!
You're just plain evil!
BTW: Couldn't resist. Already pledged for this. You have a gem in the making here. Keep up the excellent work!

Gotta admit, I was skeptical at first - but the models look really good up-close, in a vein similar to the female chef in "Ratatouille". And I'm getting more of a Mediterranean vibe from the group, rather than Latina.
I'm sorry to hear that but would you say that the majority of young girls that have bulimia and other similar problems are due to supermodels though? Are the models the main source of the problem? I'm sure there are many more young girls that appreciate and enjoy their beauty rather than being destroyed by it. These women are pretty popular and the majority of their fans are young women. It's most likely a very small minority that are getting negatively affected by this and most likely already have underlying issues. I mean come on man have you never seen even one Victoria's Secret Fashion show?
I know it's about preference but if you look at these women and all you can see is "ribs to be easy to count" and "young boys" rather then beautiful women then with all due respect I think you and most of the men you know are in the minority. Tell me what you think.
I really didn't want to, but something made me go 'rrrr' out loud.oh..HEY @naughtyroad ..i found Spike

Eartha Kitt Catwoman "rrrr" ?
Thank you - and everyone who came out and pledged, tipped or just liked and reviewed - so much. After about 4 months of blood, sweat and tears I really dreaded having to face up to pulling the plug if this had tanked. Getting this response has completely re-energized me.(..) Already pledged for this. You have a gem in the making here. Keep up the excellent work!
