VN Ren'Py Lost at Birth [Ch. 9 CE Part 2] [V19]

[Naxos]

Interesting start.

The daughters model and renders are amazing. Hands down my favourite new model in a while. So far all the girls have been really good looking.

The story and direction though, will need at least another update before I'm sold.

What I'd love to see in the next update.

Justine passes out drunk as usual. The MC goes into the room, finds her purse, picks it up and retrieves his balls from it before putting it back. The next morning when Justine wakes up he gives her two options for her. Option 1, The wine and sex toy go into the trash on the street, or option 2, she goes into the trash on the street.

Either way the MC can then move on with his life with his balls safely back where they belong. Personally I'd hope option 1 would be the go to. Justine is a great looking character and I'd love to see them have a loving relationship, but this dynamic they have now is not great.

 

[Naxos]

They were actually, Kailey fell asleep in the MC's lap. Justine already had her suspicions about the MC's infidelity and then she comes home to see a beautiful young woman wearing nothing but panties and a borrowed t-shirt sleeping in his lap... what's she supposed to think? Maybe she overreacted a bit and could have been nicer after she found out who Kailey was but you can't blame her for being angry.

I 100% could blame her.

Maybe she should think "I should stop being a drunken bitch and show my love some true affection". I could happily accept her initial reaction if she acted a like a decent person afterwards, instead she continues to be a total bitch and derogatory towards the daughter after learning the truth and even the next morning at breakfast when she can't blame alcohol or shock for it.

The way she treats the MC, the constantly being drunk and then wanting sexy time but not even letting him touch her and reducing him being nothing more than a dildo operator. She's lucky the MC hasn't walked out on her a long time ago.

Of course that was just one scene and we don't know the full extent of their relationship, but given that was the one the dev chose to show and start the game with pretty much sets the tone for that relationship.

Edit. I'm not hating on the game or criticising it. I've really enjoyed it so far, but I do hate the MC/Justine dynamic and hope it changes but of course I don't expect the dev to change it to please me or anyone else. Like a tv show or movie, it is what it is, but we can say what we'd like to see happen.

 

[LazyBear29]

The update was a bit short, but overall pretty good. Renders, especially Kailey, are really great. Writing is ok too but the sex addiction theme somehow seems like a cheap excuse for the MC to do what he do. MC wife is a bitch and I don't like her but I must say her character is very believable.

Its a pity there is no branching in story so far. Hope we will get that in the future. Game has much potential and I look forward to see more of it.

Last thing I got to say is that devs after this update doubled their patreon support. Hope this will show them that if you want more support you just need to develop and update you game. Its as simple as that.

I had to go back to see what you meant by "dildo operator". Fucking someone who is passed out drunk does not appeal to me so i just left her alone.

For me, Justine is a good character. She's a bit of a bitch towards the daughter but she has her reasons for being like that. First, she refers to the daughter as "con artist" so she doesn't seem to believe her story (why nobody has suggested a DNA test yet, i have no idea). Second, if Kailey really is the MC's daughter, that probably makes Justine feel insecure about the fact that she can't have children of her own. In time, i think Justine will warm up to Kailey and she could help mend the relationship, get Justine off the booze and save the marriage. That's my hope, at least, because i do like her.

 

[Kalsan]

To be honest Justine is kinda a bitch, I don't hate her... yet but she better start acting more caring with the protagonist because right now the dynamic between them is not progressing well. Even so I totally understand her point of view about the daughter, his husband just bring a total stranger (a cute one and one that seem to not mind walking halk naked in a place she arrive 10 minutes ago) to her without saying anything to her plus that stranger is claiming to be her husband lost daughter and without solid evidence. I don't know you all but I would be PISSSED as fuck.
By the way some serious porn logic here:
-Hey I'm your daughter and I have absolutely no evidence to support my claim!
-Oh baby girl! Daddy loves you sooooo much already.
Like seriously?

What's wrong with that? It's clear he loves her in more ways than one, I mean, he started catching up after the meet with some father daughter material.

In any case, the bitchy wife is one way to give reason for the MC to be in other relation or to look for love from alternative people, like a surprised daughter.

You have a narrow point of view. Why making the wife a bitch so the players can find another love when you can love all the girls? Actually the wife said she knows the protagonist is cheating and doesn't mind. The protagonist has stated that he love his wife even if she is a bitch, he will not abandon her then the developer should make her more appealing because it seem we are stuck with her. Even if you want one girl what if you don't like the daughter? Shitty wife are the doom of a lot of games because basically you are making the protagonist a bastard for cheating the wife or a retarded for staying with her even if she is a bitch.

 

[Yngling]

Like 99.9% of all married men. Or so I've heard.

Anyway, that's not how it works. It works just like in the game. People set up a routine that somewhat works for them, even if it seems completely weird for others. In this case, the MC is reasonably happy with his porn and the wife with her wine.

Question: is the incest gonna be optional ?

 

[Leonero]

Very very impressive. Gj

Sounds like you have a narrow point of view yourself, thinking that a bitchy wife in a game automatically makes the game/mc/story bad. It's a a factor in a story.

Funy you mention the MC being a cheating bastard because of shitty wife? Are you implying that a non shitty wife would not make him a cheating bastard?

 

[Yngling]

Question: is the incest gonna be optional ?

It's not a stupid question as some people may think.

To be honest, I hope so.

One of the great things of Our Fate (sorry for bringing that up again) was the struggle of the MC between fatherly feelings and lust for his daughter. The sole fact that the fatherly route existed created the tension to feel the moral dilemma. A moral dilemma that is completely absent in many harem-incest games, where the purpose is to just fuck all the women, but by that they are also for a large part losing the incest taboo.

The daughter in Lost at Birth is just as lovable and innocent as the one in Our Fate. The difference is that here the MC is less vanilla. We will see. But like I said, I do really hope it will be possible, although I doubt that many will take that path. But just existance of it would do the trick, in my opinion.

 

[Dr. Tom]

Question: is the incest gonna be optional ?

Yes, the dev could implement a non-incest path - like in Our Fate. But I think the question will be solved differently in this game. The question of biological parentage will simply never answered because DNA testing will simply never done. That could add something mysterious to the whole story.
But I also think like @Yngling that this path will not be played much.

 

[Dr. Tom]

And I would like to mention this game is really really good and has real potential to be one of the best here on the forums. But the story is still at the beginning. The relationship between daughter and father has just started to develop in a believable way. Not as typical and flat as other corruption games.

That wouldn't be mysterious, it would be just completely dumb/illogical to never do a test...
I'm also rather sure the wife would want that test, especially if the girl lifes with them and just maybe the girl want to be sure that this guy is actually the father she is looking for.

As for non-incest/pure father, i'm in general always in favor to make any LI optional/avoidable. But as she is pretty much the main girl it would probably a lot of work to do so, not sure if it is worth the effort.

 

[Dr. Tom]

Yes, you're probably right. That's exactly what I expect from this hysterical wife.

This is not about making a LI optional.

What I mean is that by offering the player the choice, you increase the taboo.

The forbidden fruit.

The more innocent and pure Kailey is, the more the MC would want to protect rather than corrupt her. By corrupting her, he would be corrupting himself. But he already hates himself for his porn addiction. Corrupting Kailey would make him hate himself even more. If this were a childhood romance story, there would be no corruption, it could just be pure love. But in this case, with the MC being married, the difference in age and experience, not to mention the incest, well...

Is there a way out?

Could there be a good ending, like in Triangle? Justine seems kinky enough to go for it, once she gets over the initial shock.
Or would the good ending be that the MC keeps it in his pants and let another worthy guy or girl romance Kailey?

When there is no choice how to approach this dilemma, then the taboo becomes meaningless and empty. Like in a FPS game, shooting hordes of zombies is meaningless, but if, when you are close to the end of the game, your best friend turns out to be aiding the enemy and you get to choose to shoot her or let her go, then that is meaningful. Even more so if she returns at the very end of the game to help you or to complete the betrayal.

Before someone cries some dreaded 3 letters, this is what's supposed to happen to fathers and daughters, you fucking perverts

That's pretty much what i meant, if u don't go for her for whatever reason, MC tries his best to be a good father to her.

Could there be a good ending, like in Triangle?

No, i really just want to dump Justine...i hope we can.

Justine seems kinky enough to go for it, once she gets over the initial shock.

That or drunk enough to not give a fuck.

[Yngling]

I think you guys have no idea what I'm talking about but I don't know how to explain it further...

The thing is... a father should not fall in love with his daughter. The wrongness is the taboo. The daughter should find a man of her own and leave her father to start a family of her own. That's the normal way of the world.

I get that this is not the porn way and also not why we are here.

But this game attempts to approach the topic in a more realistic manner than other games.

So...

Our Fate had this guy, I think his was Lucas (?), he was a douchebag and fortunately Claire found out fairly soon. However I would not have objected if she had ended up being with Anna. At least I would have liked to see that ending besides the ending where Claire ends up with the MC. Both endings of course being hypothetical since Our Fate isn't finished.

I hope Lost at Birth does get similar options.

And anyone who thinks that's NTR should probably see a doctor.
