VN - Ren'Py - Lost at Birth [Ch. 10 CE Part 1] [V19]

Pretty decent game,.The classic F/D goodness. The D is cute as f but the GF is looking (hot ofc) but kinda bland, so you will mostly just be waiting for D content. And it has hardly any yet. It does have potential.

High rating mainly because the renders are good and the girls are nice looking. The main girl is absolutely stunning. The story is decent so far. Time will tell if updates will come at a decent pace, if they do this will be one of my favorites.

(Review for the 0.2 version)

Yet another interesting game, that at the current build doesn't have much too offer.

The STORY its a bit more original than the usual random homecoming of the main character, but sadly so far, that's all there is to the drama. There's some intrigue about if Kailey is indeed someone she says she is, but there's no urgency from the main character to get everything cleared out. Aside from that there's the drama with the wife but there's not much context of what's really happening in that household. She's still a drunk mess and he swapped booze for younger girls (I wish it was that easy IRL). That's it. Its hard to follow if there's a open relationship, or if the wife actually knows she's being cucked (its implied the MC already slept around with younger girls), but the focus is not all there. There's not a real complexity to these characters personalities, or a cohesive, interesting storyline that goes beyond corruption. Kailey is a hot girl with a massive follow-up on social media, never had sex and she lived in a car? Either there's going to be massive twists, or something doesn't quite add up.

The DIALOGUE it's kinda poor because it doesn't add much to the characters. No one is really interesting. Also, I'm not sure if the dev (or devs) native language is english or not, but it dialogue doesn't always flow or sounds natural. It could also do without the boring stories about grandpa and the small-talk about computers and other non-sense. It feels like filler dialogue and there's a lot more that should be explored. This sort of dialogue adds nothing interesting to characters and much less to the drama, feels too boring to read.

Anyway, the GRAPHICS are good, I do enjoy the models, even if sometimes they feel like they don't belong to a scene, a clear indication the one doing the renders isn't completly in tune with the one writing, for example, the MC touching Kailey's leg or Kailey kissing the MC cheeks and there's no dialogue aknowledge of it, one where Justice clearly wanted to slap the MC but the dialogue tells otherwise. It's like the final product is having re-writes from the original scripts, build on guidelines but the storyline is not connecting with the CGs. Not everytime and not in an extreme way, but its somewhat noticeable. There's no ANIMATIONS or sex scenes, there's a blowjob scene but while the renders of it are good, the scene itself is sloppy and ends in 5 seconds. It needs more meat to it, and there's a way of working with static renders if you can't work animations.

The MUSIC is nice, a good addition, but it could do without the random moans. There's no much GAMEPLAY to talk about, aswell. Not sure how choice-based it will be but for now its the typical "want to see lewd renders" rather than anything else.

OVERALL: Keep an eye out, but so far, its pretty mediocre. I'd say its okay, 2-star would probably be more accordingly for what the game truly offers, but that's so little that I'm keeping it at 3-stars to see where it goes. It does have my support because I do see potential, but I hope the writer knows where he's going with the story, because the renders do have quality.

just played it, very good game, I like this game a lot. renders are really good, kailey is sooo cute and is a sensible character. the wife is a little messed up but she can have a great character arc where MC helps her fight her addiction they both start loving each other again and the three of them will become a nice family.

I´m just gonna throw a few lines here. First off, renders are great, with really hot women. This is a story about incest. So the setting is spot on. Not much going on that´s why they end up fucking everyone. People should read more to understand this.
Big bad of this game is that it´s updates are short and far between, let´s hope it gets better.

Still early but this is a quality game. Renders are good, characters are good, writing is great.

I actually found myself reading the scenes instead of holding down control to blaze through.

One to watch.

Judging by the renders, Lost at Birth could be a really good VN. But LaB really struggles to convey emotion, create drama and make the protagonists look like anything other than robots. It certainly doesn't help that the protagonists don't have any facial expressions.

The MC makes decisions that are incomprehensible, is hardly empathetic towards his fellow human beings and when he tries to be, its a train wreck of decision making.
I don't think the problem here is primarily the fact that English is a second language of the developer. Rather, it seems as if he has problems weaving the story arc in such a way that the story comes together as a coherent whole.

Despite everything, I think it's good that LaB is trying to approach the subject in an adult way. I like the fact that the MC is a kind of anti-hero. He is not a morally untarnished leaf and has his own issues. Kailey is a bit too much of a damsel in distress for me, I would have liked her to have more of a personality of her own, her own goals and convictions. Instead, she seems very dependent. I don't find that very convincing, with her life story she should have grown up quite early. Instead of dealing with conflicts with the MC openly, asserting herself, she usually buckles quickly and so they are never really on the same level, but she always remains the innocent lamb from the countryside while the MC has to find the solutions. It's a missed opportunity for sure. Good relationships thrive on friction, conflict and passion.

Review up until Ch.2 Complete
V19XX Please take a few minutes to read this & I hope I was helpful
Game looks pretty promising:~

Models are unique - not similar or same models in many games

Story so far is pretty good - premise has been used before but atmosphere is more realistic (at least from my point of view), the past & present story is well laid out

Characters are not one dimensional - they have realistic personalities & self respect

Suggestions~ I highly recommend to add animated sex scenes. If dev does not know how or needs better equipment I would advise putting a goal for buying new PC or graphics card on Patreon & Subscribe Star. Also ask other devs with experience or the community & someone will definitely help teach you if your willing.

Game also needs a Scene Gallery. All decent & above games has to have galleries. Lets not pretend we don't know why most people play these games. Also, if done please include actual scenes, not just pictures but with the actual dialogue leading up to said scene

Chapter 2:

If you're after a good, heartfelt story, it's not here.
If you're looking for a quick, easy, and fun fap game, it's not here.

Lost at Birth uses the structures and finer points of other stories but fundamentally fails to understand why and how they are meant to be used. There is a general sense that the creator(s) are unsure of how to create meaningful drama. Characters feel stiff and cold.
Normally decent renders would put this at two stars, but what's the point of commending good renders if they aren't used in any interesting ways?

If you can get through the part where the MC explains, in painstaking detail, the layout of the house, while she comments here and there WITHOUT tearing your hair out, you might enjoy this.

*IF* this continues it may be worth a revisit at a later date, as it stands you can ignore this.

Ch.2 complete

tl;dr its pretty good but it could benefit a lot from animations since lewd scenes are way to short. If no animation than atleast extending the scenes a couple of slides would benefit the game a lot.

Story is good so far. Kinda like the sad touch right from the beginning. The problems with the wife and the situation of the daughter. Still think MC and the daughter are to fast to close. I think it needs a little bit more build up

Graphics look unique to me and in a good way. Kinda dig the art.
Lewd scenes are way to short and since its not animated it impacts even harder. The two scenes in the restroom were done so fast, just like 3 lines per scene and GG. I understand that animations are not for everyone but if so, than at least make the scenes a little bit longer

So far it is great, very erotic with lovely and delicious visuals and straight forward but completely engaging characters and story. Look forward for more updates, it seems likely be a bit of a slow burn but had more erotic tease moments then expected. If quality stays up and no crazy story jumps over time it will be pretty good erotica.

As you enter the game you get welcomed by a pretty nice main menu (just had to point that out, good job there). The game itself is also quite good. The preview pictures did not really look amazing but the game has actually really good graphics.
There are also some downsides to this story, i did feel like the romance/storyline doesn't make complete sense. The girl is supposedly v*rgin but is actually quite bold after barely knowing the MC. It just feels like it is going really fast which makes it a bit unnatural. The game also lacks in thoughts of the main love interest. Thats really unfortunate, as of right now there is one clear love interest in this game. Therefore she is quite important to the story, if thoughts were added of her the game would be 10 times better honestly.
The storyline has a nice pretence and a lot of potential, four stars is the max i could give right now (Ch2 complete)

This short review is for Ch. 2 complete

This is really good.
I always prefer a game that focuses more on story and believable characters, both physically and personality-wise, and the devs have at least convinced me. The MC and Justine are both flawed, but not to the point of being unrelatable and Kailey seems to be a sweet girl put in a tough situation. Hopefully we'll see more sides of the three main characters in time and see them them change and develop at a convincing pace.

There is at least one "side-girl" at the moment, I may have missed another one, and while she is gorgeous that part of the game doesn't interest me much, and I may skip those parts in later releases. I just wanna help fix the MC's marriage and give his kid a family that loves her. I'm a romantic

The visual character design is more than solid and renders are great. It's a great looking game.

No animations and a few cringy lines, but it's looking promisingly good as of Ch. 2.

It'd be great to have the option to set your custom last name given the focus on well family, for now modding with URM it is.

Update: Ch. 4 was rushed and short, I think the dev has no idea where he is going with this.

Been waiting and hoping for another game like this to come out. It has been a long time since we had one this good. A lot of typical tropes are included, but the dev puts a fresh spin on them. The girls are probably the best character models I have seen in a game to date. The crazy erratic wife adds an interesting dynamic that gives MC and daughter more reason to bond. Crazy wife is also crazy hot, so it is understandable why MC has lingered on for so long. Overall, the story is great, renders are great, atmosphere is great, and this game has a chance to be one of the masterpieces.

Normally iam not giving 5 Stars that easily, but i just loved the start of the game very much...

It has some "fresh" approaches on the topic not many games have... its not the ordinary "dad meets daughter incest porn" thing.

They have a very loving build up from the start, Kailey had a rough life so far, MC just cares for her at the start... this will become more obviuosly, but i think it will be more like a slow burn, and i like them, if they are well made... and i get the feeling this will be the case here.

And i think the MC needs someone like Kailey in his life too... cause it is going downhill, meaningless side-chicks, a wife that is not very loveable at this point... Kailey is coming in his life at the perfect time.

Well of course, this will mean a "catfight" further down, i cant think of a scenario where all three are getting together. Justine is very hostile from the start (well MCs fault too, cause he was cheating and such)... either way, this could be interesting.

The dialogues are good, not very good, but decent enough. I like the renders, year there are better ones out there, but they are well made and really good, way above average.

I really really like the models, they are unique i would say, didnt saw them in any other game, so they are not "recycled"

Kailey is cute as a button, like her very much already. Looks and attitude. And she is not an overly clueless innocent girl... yeah oblivous, but her humor and some responses are showing that she is not clueless aboutr sex and stuff... it annys me everytime in a incest game when an adult daughter doesnt know anything about sex like "uuuuh is that how a penis looks like?" come on. You can make an incest porn game but be somewhant realistic... this game does it very well i think. Her background story why she stayed a virgin is believable too. My ex-girlfriend was the same.

At this point there is not that much content, its pretty much a instruction, nothing more. But its setting up everything in a very good way and iam very intested how this will go on...

hopefully updates will come regularly with a good amount of content, the game was released in march, now its august... for 5 months this is okay so far i think. Could be more, but others DEVs do much less in this time.

Some advices.

Make choices COUNT, there arent much choices so far, more or less "do you want to have something lewd right now or not" choices with no consequences so far... but well, there are possibilities, and i hope we need to do some SERIOUS choices in the future.

Background sounds, music and so on are good too btw. Maybe in the future there are more background tracks for setting up different emotions and moods. we will see...

Well, i loved what i saw so far, keep it up, i will watch it closely!

While there may be a few variations out there on the dad meets daughter after countless years.. I was surprised by how well done this title handled it..
The story and side narrative elements are pretty strong, dealing with the wife who you still lingered onto the hope of loving against the odds, The seduction of a woman who is DTF at your whim as well as the other enjoyable side characters..
The visuals when it comes to the females in this are amazing.. truly beautiful designed renders and its easy to desire them in the story..
Looking forward to seeing where the dev takes this story.. be it in the same direction the familiar genre goes or if they dare to try anything different its all good and will make for an interesting read regardless

Excellent two chapters so far. The renders look really good and the story has been interesting to read so far as well. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapters!

I quite like the erratic behaviour of the wife. It adds a lot to the story, improves the bond between the main character and the daughter, makes the main character look better in the eyes of the daughter and also escalates situations nicely.

The initial premise reminded me of the abandoned VN named Our Fate - A new family. I recommend Lost at Birth to everyone who likes it. And to everybody else as well!

Excellent story and image quality. The girls are hot, too. I hope this continues and progresses further with the daughter. I'll probably wait for a couple updates as it seems to move a little too slow for my liking but I am hopeful. I'll be watching this.

Been a while since something like this come out. Honestly the best character renders in any game up until this point. Story is engaging enough for me to not just ctrl my way to scenes. 9/10 so far, score might go down or up depending on further development and the following chapters.
